- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 235
“It’s over.” Jason calmly observed everything, as if the failure had nothing to do with him.
In fact, this operation had been a total failure, and it had cost them a long-trained Seraphim.
Someone had to take responsibility for this, and perhaps blaming the dead gunslinger was the best option.
“Let’s go.”
Ignoring Geonitz, who was eyeing them like a predator, the long-haired woman took out a beautiful staff.
With the rise of a mysterious magical array, the group disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Spatial magic?” Fang Bo couldn’t help but frown.
He knew the enemy would have a backup plan, but he didn’t expect it to be such a slippery skill.
As expected, the Orphanage hadn’t gotten this far by luck alone; every action they took seemed to have an escape route.
After a brief pause, Fang Bo turned and walked toward Geonitz.
The female priest was bowing her head in mourning, with the body of Seraphim Little Zhai lying at her feet.
“He was a good child. He shouldn’t have died here.” Geonitz seemed genuinely regretful.
As a clone Seraphim of the Blade-Pulling Zhai, Little Zhai’s combat talent was undeniable.
Unfortunately, his mechanical body couldn’t accommodate the Great Serpent’s Blood; otherwise, Geonitz might have considered turning him into one of her kin.
“Such is life—never perfect,” Fang Bo said, placing his hand on her shoulder.
Had this been before today, he would never have dared to do this, knowing it would surely trigger Geonitz’s wrath.
But after today’s battle, their relationship had become “closer,” and many things were now different.
Just as he expected, the woman merely frowned slightly and allowed his strange hand to roam over her body.
In truth, Fang Bo was only trying to help her treat her wounds while simultaneously absorbing some basic skill experience.
This was something that accumulated over time—if he absorbed more today, he would need fewer plot points when upgrading tomorrow.
[Basic Melee Experience +256]
Admiring the experience he had gained, Fang Bo finally understood the strength of the Flying Swordsmanship.
Even though he had lost the initiative, his desperate counterattack in the howling wind had still caused significant damage to Geonitz.
This kind of destructive power couldn’t be underestimated.
Raising his hand, he summoned a ghost spider, drained its life force, and then walked over to Olsen’s side to help him heal.
The pain he absorbed was a bit torturous, causing sweat to bead on his forehead.
“…” Olsen noticed the sweat on Fang Bo’s forehead and spoke in a low voice. “I remember you learned that B-grade healing spell?”
“Yes.”
“…Maybe you should consider cleansing that skill. I’ll keep an eye out for the necessary items.”
Without waiting for a response, Olsen turned and walked off to rest on his own.
Once they finished attending to the situation here, the mercenary team finally arrived at the scene.
“Where are they? Those bastards from the Nests?” Ralph’s roar echoed through the sky.
That bastard killed his teammate and still had the audacity to try and join them.
What was most infuriating was that Ralph had actually treated him like a brother.
Now, filled with rage, Ralph could barely control his desire to tear that bastard apart with his own hands.
When he saw that the group had already fled, he immediately pointed his anger at Fang Bo’s team. “I told you to wait for us before making a move! Are you deaf or something?”
Upon hearing this, the group’s eyes instantly became sharp.
Especially Geonitz, who without warning, made her move against the man.
Ultimate Skill: Night Wind!
The wind blade tornado wrapped around Ralph, and the howling winds made it impossible for anyone else to interfere.
When the skill ended, Ralph, the leader of the Rage Team, collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.
Against the fully restored Breath of Storm, Ralph was nothing more than a joke.
She didn’t kill him because Geonitz had found something more interesting and had no interest in wasting time with him.
Turning her gaze to Liana, Geonitz smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth curling with mocking intent. “Long time no see. You still haven’t accepted your fate.”
“It’s you!!!” Liana immediately realized who the woman in front of her was—her father’s killer.
Had it not been for her, Liana would never have gone berserk and, in her madness, killed her parents.
She had thought she would never have a chance for revenge, but now, her enemy had appeared before her.
As for why this woman looked so much like Mai Shiranui, Liana, consumed by rage, didn’t even notice or care.
Her mind was focused on one thing: she was going to tear this woman apart in the most brutal and bloody way possible.
“Ah!!” After years of waiting, the berserk Liana finally made her reappearance.
[Liana Hardyland (Blood Frenzy)]
[Attack Tendencies: Extreme]
[Attribute Tendencies: Agility, Mental Energy, Constitution]
[Traits: Great Serpent’s Blood, Dexterous Craftsmanship]
[Threat Assessment: Very Dangerous]
At first glance, her aura seemed overwhelming, but in reality, her power was nowhere near that of the berserk Kyo Kusanagi.
Let alone facing the fully restored Breath of Storm.
“Don’t kill her,” Fang Bo whispered a reminder, “We need the mercenaries’ strength to deal with the Nests.”
“Don’t worry.” Geonitz elegantly raised her hand and effortlessly blocked Liana’s attack.
“This little thing is so cute; how could I bring myself to kill her?”
Tilting her body at the maximum angle to avoid Liana’s strange hot weapon, Geonitz smoothly landed a kick to Liana’s cheek with a single leg, sending her sprawling.
Without using the power of the storm, Geonitz was already overpowering her with pure skill.
Even Liana’s enraged V-shaped Chainsaw was easily avoided by Geonitz’s graceful flip.
Before Liana could recover, Geonitz swiftly approached and executed a joint-locking technique.
She first bent Liana’s arm behind her back, then bent her knee to thrust upward, using the momentum to press Liana down beneath her.
The difference in strength between them was so vast that it stunned everyone watching.
For a long time, Liana had been an unstable element in the mercenary team, and many feared what she might do if she went berserk—no one could control her in that state.
Thus, few dared to provoke her, terrified that she might tear their mercenary base apart.
But today, in full view of everyone, the berserk Liana was thoroughly subdued within just a few moves.
It was as if everything that had happened before was just to highlight the overwhelming power of this priestess woman.
“Had enough?” Geonitz knelt on top of Liana, as if she were dealing with an unruly dog.
Seeing that Liana still refused to submit, Geonitz couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Should she harvest the Great Serpent’s Blood from within her?
“Rather than waste it on her, it’s better to give it to someone more suitable.”
Cough, cough, cough.
At this moment, Fang Bo’s cough drew everyone’s attention.
He waved his hand, signaling the mercenaries not to act rashly, then walked up beside Geonitz and began whispering in her ear.
It was clear that the woman was somewhat resistant to this action, but she patiently listened to what he had to say.
During this time, no one dared to make a sound. The only noise was Liana’s continued, desperate shrieks.
But eventually, her cries grew silent, as if she had realized that no matter how much she screamed, it would be in vain.
At some point, she had ceased her berserk state, returning to her usual self.
“…Alright,” Geonitz nodded, placing her hand on the woman’s forehead. “I can help you rid yourself of the Great Serpent’s Blood. From this moment on, you and my divine kin shall have no further connection.”
Upon hearing this, Hardyland, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke: “What are the conditions?”
“Help me destroy the Nests, and that little one over there—he will become your leader and guide you forward.”
The “little one” she referred to was Olsen, who was resting nearby.
This guy hadn’t yet found his team, so it was a perfect opportunity for him to join the Rage Team and participate in the King of Fighters tournament. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take part in the mission to destroy the Nests.
“Good.” Hardyland, ever perceptive, understood that he and his people had no other choice.
For other fighters, the deterrence of firearms would be quite high, but in front of Geonitz, their rocket launchers could easily blow themselves up.
The vast dimensional gap in strength left Hardyland with no courage to resist.
Of course, he didn’t want to start a fight immediately. Compared to the unclear stance of the Celestial Kin, the threat of the Nests was much greater.
Moreover, they had promised to return Liana’s freedom, which was the most important thing.
Seeing that he had agreed, Geonitz immediately activated her “Divine Power,” forcibly extracting the Great Serpent’s Blood from Liana’s body.
[You have completely changed Liana’s fate.]
[You have gained a Fate Token.]
“Today’s really a good day,” Fang Bo smiled widely, his grin stretching from ear to ear.
However, he was clearly too early in his celebration because an unexpected twist was still to come.
Geonitz ignored his advice to create a so-called “traitor within the Nests” and instead tossed the drop of Great Serpent’s Blood to the distant, observing Spider Demon.
“You’ve wanted this for so long, go ahead and eat it.”
Seeing this, the Spider Demon Mother, Yin Ji, didn’t hesitate and immediately opened her mouth, swallowing the blood.
Soon, she felt a burning sensation within her body, and a moan, one that left many people blushing, escaped her lips.
The mercenary team, now carrying the unconscious Liana, returned to their transport ship.
This time, Olsen would also be coming along. After a brief adjustment period, they would head off to participate in the King of Fighters tournament.
“See you in South Town.”
“Alright.”
Once everyone had left, only Fang Bo and Geonitz remained, looking at each other in silence.
They exchanged glances with the Spider Demon, who was still making strange noises, before each finding a place to rest.
Some time later, the Spider Demon, Yin Ji, had consumed the drop of Great Serpent’s Blood.
Her attributes hadn’t changed, but she was now able to spawn a new Fourth-Stage unit: the Great Serpent Spider.
Using the residual energy in her body, she was able to “freeload” her very first Fourth-Stage Serpent Spider.
When Fang Bo approached, he immediately saw a small, dark red Ghost Spider.
[Name: Great Serpent Spider (Summon)]
[Stage: Fourth-Stage]
[HP: 240]
[Strength: 20]
[Constitution: 24]
[Agility: 28]
[Mental: 18]
[Perception: 16]
[Traits: Devouring Evolution, Agile Build, Blood Frenzy]
[Skills: Poison Slash, Rapid]
Blood Frenzy: Increases speed by 20%, attacks deal an additional 5 points of true damage, lasting for 10 minutes.
Agile Build: Greatly increases flexibility, enhances jumping ability.
Rapid: Increases attack speed by 30%.
Most of its skills were fairly standard, but the fact that it inherited Blood Frenzy was unexpected.
If this trait was activated, the Great Serpent Spider would effectively have the mobility of a creature with 34 agility points.
Many top-tier experts who dominated entire worlds couldn’t achieve such high stats in a single attribute.
Considering equipment and items, the Great Serpent Spider might not rival the most extreme three-attribute experts, but it should easily be able to handle opponents with dual-attribute max stats.
What does this mean?
It meant that Fang Bo could now have an elite bodyguard with dual-attribute extremes at his side—maybe even more than one.
Reaching out, Fang Bo gently stroked the small, agile body of the Great Serpent Spider, clearly pleased with the evolutionary reward.
Now, it was time to claim the rewards for his hidden mission.
