Chapter 54-2 |
"Mo, feeling tired?" At this time, a gentle voice interrupted.
Su Mo withdrew his gaze from the Villain panel to find Crescent Moon Queen looking at him affectionately. In the past, the Queen's affection for him was subtle, hinted but not explicitly revealed, especially in public. However, after this battle, the Queen's admiration for Su Mo had elevated. Even with many people around, the love in the Crescent Moon Queen's eyes was no longer concealed.
Just as Su Mo was about to speak, a gust of wind rustled. A figure descended from the sky, and upon closer inspection, it was the little angel sent by the Crescent Moon Goddess. While referred to as a little angel, she had an elegant figure, standing at least 1.7 meters tall, a height that was tall for a woman but not excessively so.
Too much height wouldn't be flattering. Clad in white armor from head to toe, she removed her helmet after landing, revealing a delicate face.
Su Mo observed her and noticed her tall appearance, but her facial features seemed somewhat petite. As an angel, her skin was radiant and flawless, almost to the point of perfection. When the little angel looked at Su Mo, he also gazed back at her. Their eyes met.
Su Mo's eyes were bright and clear. Although the succubus bloodline was now concealed, the astonishing charm remained undeniable. Especially his eyes, even without using the Succubus Eyes, a woman staring into Su Mo's eyes for an extended period would quickly succumb.
This little angel, perhaps caught off guard, was surprisingly captivated by Su Mo's gaze. She stared at him for a good half minute until the voice of Cardinal Ferren broke the trance.
With a soft "Ah," the little angel suddenly became aware. The visor on her helmet dropped down, hiding her blushing face. Even her neck turned red. If not for the helmet on her face and protective gear on her neck, she wouldn't be able to face the situation! She actually stared at a man for so long! And this man is just a human!
However, at that moment, she couldn't tear her eyes away, and she thought she might still act the same if given another chance. How could this happen? She is an angel who never harbors any emotions toward men. If the Goddess finds out… The little angel's face turned even redder.
On the side, Crescent Moon Queen's emotions became complicated once again. She also needed to go to the Holy See to have some female spellcasters treat her. So, after Cardinal Ferren's invitation, Crescent Moon Queen followed along.
"I just received news that the Holy Level of the Myles family has also perished," in a room within the royal capital, the remaining few Duke-level Villains had gathered before.
Initially, they hadn't gone together because it would draw too much attention. Only Myles had gone. Now, these Duke-level Villains were waiting for information. After Myles was killed, they saw his avatar turn gray. Their expressions changed drastically, not knowing what had happened.
The battlefield was too chaotic, and even if they sent someone in, they couldn't find anything. It was only after the battle ended that they received the news of the Myles family's Holy Level also being destroyed!
"How did he die?" one of the Duke-level Villains asked.
"It's said that he was killed by that Demon God," another Duke-level Villain collecting information said.
"Myles had already cornered those dozen Protagonists. Why was he so unlucky to run into a Demon God?" a Duke-level Villain complained. He wasn't grieving for Myles but lamenting not getting those dozen Protagonists. Dozen Protagonists! Dozen golden fingers! Each of them could be divided among them. Unfortunately, they were all gone now.
"So, those dozen Protagonists were also affected by the Demon God and died," one Villain speculated.
"Yeah, it should be like that. When Myles died, our panel's warning information decreased by a dozen," another Villain said.
"Unfortunately, these Protagonists died in vain, and those golden fingers must have disappeared too." The remaining Duke-level Villains were also feeling quite frustrated. They had planned for so long, and success was within their grasp. They never expected that just as Myles was about to succeed, a second Demon God would appear! This kind of development, even if they racked their brains before, was impossible to predict.
For a moment, as these remaining Duke-level Villains felt frustrated, they deeply sensed the impermanence of life.
"I feel like our negative Luck Points are starting to take effect," one Villain said. The impact of Luck Points in a short period was actually quite small. Seeing their misfortune, after the Duke-level Villains were frustrated for a while, they attributed it to luck. It was the only explanation they could think of.
"Something's not right, everyone. I just found out that Myles and his family's Holy Level actually died at the same time!" While these Duke-level Villains were discussing, in the Templar Knight Order, the Protagonist also heard the news of Myles and the Holy Level's death.
The Protagonist immediately felt something was amiss. Unlike the Villains, he didn't know the Villains' plan, nor did he know Myles' whereabouts at that time. But he knew that Myles, his family's Holy Level, and Count of Moshi Territory, along with the fourteen Protagonists, were together at that time. Then, the fourteen Protagonists died.
Originally, they thought it was either Count of Moshi Territory or Myles who killed them, or perhaps both collaborated to kill 14 Protagonists were also dead. Count of Moshi Territory was still alive and well! Didn't this mean… these people might have all been killed by Count of Moshi Territory?
[The Villain 'Shadow' has achieved the first decimation, becoming the first publicly identified Villain. His identity is revealed as Count of Moshi Territory of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, currently at the Silver Level Villain status.]
[The achievement board is activated. Shadow is the first Villain to log onto the achievement board, earning 200 Villain Points for the feat.]
[All Villains or Protagonists who achieve ten kills can log onto the achievement board. At the end of each month, rewards will be given based on the ranking in Villain or Protagonist Points.]
At this moment, three messages that all Protagonists and Villains could see appeared on their panels. These three messages quickly caught the attention of all Protagonists and Villains. In the royal capital of Crescent Moon, the few Duke-level Villains gathered in a room immediately noticed that information. Looking at each other, their expressions changed simultaneously.
"Count of Moshi Territory… Shadow… He achieved ten kills?" Several Duke-level Villains raised their heads and exchanged glances. From each other's eyes, they all saw profound astonishment.
"Wait, Shadow is Count of Moshi Territory? He achieved the first ten kills?!" At the same time, in the Protagonist group, the Protagonists also exclaimed. Not only them, but when these three messages were announced, a considerable number of Protagonists and Villains who noticed were astonished!
