Reborn into A Slash Game

Chapter 74 - I Will Kill You

Suo Fei was surprised that Hull would say such a thing. He frowned and was slightly uneasy. He couldn’t point out what exactly was making him feel uneasy, but in any case, he felt that something was wrong.

Suo Fei believed in his intuition to a certain extent so he explained, “It doesn’t matter whether I believe you or not. You’ve told me that there isn’t much energy left in the resurrection artifact and that it could only be used once. Hence, I hope that I’ll be the one to do it while you instruct me. If it failed, I wouldn’t have any complaints.”

“It’s precisely because it could only be used once that I want to help you. You’ve never used it before so can you be sure that you’ll use the correct technique? Moreover, you need to have enough power to use the resurrection artifact. The stronger the power, the greater the chance of success. So, it’d be better to let me do it.”

Hull made sense. Although Suo Fei felt that something was wrong, he couldn’t figure out what was. Moreover, since Hull had given him the artifact, it wasn’t possible for him to go back on his words. If Hull was to do it, the chances of success would definitely be much greater. So why didn’t he want to give it to him?

“Let me do it.” Samael, who had kept his silence all this while, suddenly spoke.

The two turned to look at him at the same time.

Samael continued, “If the chances of success would be greater the greater the power, then it’d be best for me to do it.”

Suo Fei was instantly happy when he heard his suggestion. It was true, he was much more at ease if he let Samael do it. He believed in Samael, even more than he believed himself!

It seemed like Hull wanted to say something but it was indeed what he had said. No matter what, Samael was the most suitable. It’d do him no good to say more. Also, he looked down at the time, it’s already not necessary to continue this argument.

Suo Fei didn’t understand how the resurrection artifact worked. Such an unscientific matter was rather troublesome for a philosophical materialist like him to understand. Not understanding didn’t mean that he would not believe it. In fact, he himself had transmigrated into this bizarre world so what else could he not believe in?

It was just that when Hull recounted how to operate the artifact to Samael, Suo Fei was bewildered when he listened in. After that, he thought that it’s fine as long as Samael could understand it so he listened less attentively.

After a short while, Samael got the gist of how to use it so Suo Fei passed the memory orb to Samael and fixedly stared at him with all his attention.

Samael placed the resurrection artifact and the memory orb together, closed his eyes and quietly chanted an incantation. Suo Fei saw that the liquid inside the resurrection artifact was slowly flowing out and covered the entire memory orb starting from the bottom. A white light slowly gathered in Samael’s palm which fell onto the memory orb.

Suo Fei was near him so he could see that the white light and the liquid inside the artifact began intertwining with each other and merged inside the memory orb bit by bit. Suo Fei was slightly nervous. He wasn’t certain if what was happening was right or not. He could only hope that it was right and that it would be successful.

When the white light and the liquid completely merged inside the memory orb, Samael’s eyes opened.

Suo Fei anxiously asked, “How is it?”

Samael smiled at him, “What do you think?”

Suo Fei cheered. If the memory orb wasn’t in Samael’s hand, he would have directly thrown himself to hug him.

“It went smoothly without any rejection. Now, you just need to wait. You should be able to see Vixanne again in around twenty-four hours.”

Suo Fei heaved a sigh of relief and then became slightly worried. There were still twenty-four hours. He had to protect the memory orb well and not go anywhere!

Samael was about to speak when he abruptly stopped. His eyes fiercely swept towards the window beside him.

Suo Fei also looked over and didn’t see anything different. However, he was vaguely able to tell from Samael’s expression that something was wrong.

So he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Samael didn’t speak. He first looked at Hull before looking away.

Hull choked back the sentence ‘Why don’t you go out and have a look?’ that was about to come out of his lips. He knew that Samael was suspicious of him at the moment. If he deliberately sent him away, he would definitely be exposed. Thus, he wisely chose to not speak.

Samael approached Suo Fei and gently told him, “Don’t leave me.”

Suo Fei nodded. He was already on guard. He looked at the memory orb he was holding and handed it to Samael, “Keep it inside the interspatial bag.”

Something flashed in Hull’s eyes but he didn’t say a word, merely watching Samael keep the memory orb.

After keeping the memory orb, Samael activated his Asura Blade and passed the Transmogrifier to Suo Fei. Suo Fei was fully on guard and dared not be careless.

In nearly an instant, all the windows shattered simultaneously with a thunderous noise. Four agile S-tier assassins appeared and rushed towards them.

They all used a strangling killer move and they moved extremely swiftly. Their movements were not the least bit restrained. It was only because Samael had perceived the danger beforehand that Suo Fei became vigilant and was prepared. If not, he would definitely be unable to dodge. Even if he could dodge it, his counterattack would be extremely weak for an S-tier assassin.

Nevertheless, as long as he wasn’t killed by a single blow, that was enough.

The Asura Blade was unsheathed. Sword Qi swept across the room and blood splattered all over the place. Three S-tier assassins wordlessly fell to the ground and died. The one who attacked Hull was also dead.

Suo Fei was slightly out of sorts. It wasn’t the first time he had seen this kind of scene but he would still feel uncomfortable seeing a bloody death scene. However, he tried his best to adjust his mentality. In the earlier situation, the other party was already brimming with killing intent. A little bit of leniency would only bring them harm. Suo Fei knew this very well.

The four S-tier assassins had been wiped out in an instant. Moreover, three of them had been killed by Samael with just one strike. Hull was surprised because of this and the gleam in his eyes that he strived to conceal became even brighter. He already had such strength even before his awakening. Once he awakened, these scums could all die today!

In fact, even Suo Fei was surprised. He knew that Samael’s strength was greater than anyone else, but his strength today had more than doubled from the last time when they were inside the treasury. From what he had observed, his current strength was greater than his strength when he was already an adult in the game.

After a brief silence, laughter sounded, “Children, we meet again.”

As soon as the voice fell, the walls of the wooden house collapsed and their field of view broadened. Suo Fei was alarmed when he saw the scene in front of him.

They had been surrounded.

Surrounded in the most literal sense. They were surrounded from all directions. Not only were they surrounded on the ground, there were even troops in the vast horizon. They had come fully prepared.

Suo Fei’s eyes narrowed as he glanced around. Everyone was cloaked in the damned black robes, but they weren’t as luxurious as Grantlyn. There weren’t any fur on their collars.

No one concealed their faces. Suo Fei saw a lot of Demons, Elves, Celestials, Trolls, Humans and a few Beastkins.

They had truly put great effort into this battle formation.

If the formation in Salvag’s Treasury could be described as a platoon, it could be said that all the elite troops had been gathered at this moment. It could be seen how much importance they’ve attached to this battle.

The person who spoke earlier was Linde, but Suo Fei didn’t see his figure at all. Suo Fei gloomily cursed in his heart, Coward, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

In this state, even if Samael’s abilities had improved countless times, it wouldn’t be advantageous for them to fight head on. They must come up with a surprise attack. The simplest way to do this was to capture their leader first. If they could capture Linde, they would definitely ensure that they could escape.

Unfortunately, since he could think of it, Linde must have also thought of it. In addition, Linde must be in his rational state. He simply didn’t want to personally participate in the battle and only appeared to act as the military advisor. He certainly wouldn’t let himself get caught.

Suo Fei’s mind turned quickly when Linde’s voice rang out, “Samael, if you hand over the two artifacts and the precious elf, we will retreat and I promise you that we will never invade the Dragon Valley during my reign.”

Now, they actually directly stated their intentions. It was rare for Linde to be so direct, but Suo Fei knew that even if they knew their intentions, it was useless.

If they really needed the artifact, then they could threaten them with the artifact. However, their purpose was to destroy the artifact. If Suo Fei came out and said ‘If you don’t let us go, I will destroy the artifact’, he reckoned that Linde would only smile to his heart’s content.

Thus, Linde dared to expose his intentions directly at this moment because he was completely confident, so much so that he surrounded Suo Fei and his group.

Moreover, his words had several possible meanings. It only indicated that he would retreat and not invade the Dragon Valley. However, he didn’t promise that he would let Samael and the others go.

Thus, he could still kill Samael without breaking his promise.

Suo Fei was still mulling it over when Samael had already responded, “Linde, I’ve told you. I will kill you.”

Samael did not deliberately raise or lower his voice. He merely declared it calmly, as if what he was saying was already a predetermined fact.

This gave people an increasing sense of dread.

After a momentary silence, Linde smiled, “Since you refuse to drink a toast and insist on drinking a forfeit, then I can’t do anything about it.”

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Samael had given him the Transmogrifier and Suo Fei knew what Samael wanted him to do. Thus, when he got the Transmogrifier, he focused on undoing the seal. He first undid Lil’ Nael’s seal. Although Hull was much stronger, Hull had been seriously injured. His human form would consume less energy and he was small so he would not be the focus of the attacks.

Lil’ Nael was different. His fighting strength was nil in his current but would be utterly dangerous if his seal had been undone. Linde’s attacks were aimed at Samael so it shouldn’t be a problem for Nael to kill his way out and escape.

Samael had already brandished his sword to kill the enemies. On the other hand, Suo Fei had his full concentration on the Transmogrifier.

His thoughts were well-founded but Linde was not a fool. He had come prepared and naturally knew of Nael’s existence. However, Nael was currently nowhere to be seen. He only had to think about it for a moment before deducing that he had been shrunken. Thus, he immediately arranged a squad to search for Nael.

Although he couldn’t stop Suo Fei, it would be too late for Suo Fei to undo the seal if he captured the shrunken Nael and killed him in time.

As a matter of fact, it was truly a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, ninety percent of those who had been sealed by the Transmogrifier would transform into a human form, whether it be large or small. The situation of the lil’ Nael where he transformed into a tiny palm-sized dragon was extremely rare.

The searching squad naturally didn’t expect this. They were looking for a human figure and they only looked at large places. For instance, they wouldn’t browse through places like drawers.

Therefore, although lil’ Nael was only in the next room, no one noticed. Who would have thought that a dragon that was a hundred metres big would become palm-sized?

Who would have thought that a mighty and majestic dragon would actually sleep in a drawer?

Hence, when the Transmogrifier undid his seal and the red dragon suddenly appeared, a blood-curdling scream sounded.

That’s right, they had been miserably crushed by the fat dragon.
