Chapter 347: Assassination of the Mother of the Leader of the Assassination Organization

Chapter 347 Assassination of the Assassination Organization Leader "Mother"

(Sorry, sorry, I'm stuck today, so I forgot to update again...(▽｀)

Now, when Meili looked at Wood who was slowly walking towards her, her eyes were full of fear.

Before, Meili dared to challenge Wood because she felt that there were hundreds of monsters, but now all these monsters have lost consciousness for unknown reasons.

When she saw Wood condense an ice knife and kill the monsters that fainted on the ground along the way, Meili was really scared.

"She just didn't know your strength before, and the fear brought to her by "Mother" was too deep.

There are not many killers with the power of "protection", not to mention that she is so young, she is completely worth training."

Elsa looked at Wood who was holding an ice knife and approaching Meili , she begged in panic.

She had never thought that things would turn out like this.

She had brought Wood to find Mary, hoping that Mary, who had not yet committed a sin, could get rid of her "mother" through Wood's power and be saved.

But Mary was not saved, but she lost her life instead.

Looking at the approaching Wood, Mary's tender face finally showed fear at this moment. Although her legs were broken because of falling from a height, she still used her arms to support her body and retreat.

In Mary's eyes, Wood was no different from the most terrifying demon at this moment. She could only use the distance between them to seek enough security.

Unfortunately, Mary, whose legs were broken, could not crawl as fast as Wood.

When Wood walked in front of Mary holding the ice knife stained with the blood of the monster, the latter also closed her eyes with fear.

Elsa looked at Wood who was approaching Mary, quietly tightened the scimitar in her cloak, but finally let go.

Elsa wanted to save Mary like she had saved those slave children before, but the gap between her and Wood was too huge.

And strictly speaking, Wood could not be blamed for this matter, but Mary herself was too arrogant.

As a killer, she couldn't even distinguish the most basic difference in strength between the enemy and us.

"Saint-level healing magic, healing song!"

Wood walked in front of Mary and slowly opened his bloody right hand towards her. Just when everyone thought that Wood would use magic to bury the loli monster user in front of him, a phantom of a goddess slowly appeared. Slowly appeared behind Wood.

The illusory goddess held the harp in her hand, as if she was singing, accompanied by waves of holy light. Mary, who closed her eyes and waited for death, soon felt a gentle breath surrounding her.

The expected pain did not appear, but a beautiful harp sound came from her ear...

When Mary opened her eyes curiously, she found that Wood, bathed in the holy light of the goddess, was like an angel, descending in front of her.

That's right, the previous second was still a murderous demon, but at this moment, with the addition of special effects, Wood's appearance in Mary's sight became a dazzling angel again.

Especially under the holy light, Mary could not only feel the warmth, but she also found that her broken leg was recovering at an astonishing speed.

"How about it, do you still think I have the strength to defeat your 'mother'?"

Looking at the hand reaching out to her, although Meili still had a fear of Wood in her heart, she still stretched out her hand nervously under the addition of special effects and appearance...

When Natsuki Subaru woke up again, he was already in the Roswaal mansion.

Rem carried him back, and as a witness of the whole process, Rem also reported the matter to the Roswaal Border Earl.

Because Meili Portert was taken away by Wood and his men, there was no monster incident in Aram Village this time, and Natsuki Subaru was lucky not to die in the mouth of monsters.

It's a pity that because there was no monster incident in Aram, there was no progress in the emotional drama between Natsuki Subaru and Rem.

When Emilia learned that Meili and Elsa came because of her, and even Aram Village was almost attacked by monsters because of her, she felt deeply guilty again.

After learning that the matter was resolved because of Wood, Emilia couldn't help but express gratitude and praise to Wood.

This also caused our real protagonist Natsuki Subaru to feel jealous.

Logically speaking, if he accepted Emilia's invitation and came to Roswaal's mansion to improve Emilia's favorability, he should have been faster.

But why is it that in the current situation, even though Wood has not completed the contact with Emilia, Emilia's favorability towards Wood is rising...

"Barus, if you regard that person named Wood as a competitor, I advise you to forget it.

According to Rem's previous description, that level of strong man is far beyond your reach. Barus is not even worthy of carrying his shoes, let alone competing with him for Emilia's favor."

As if noticing Natsuki Subaru's gaze towards Emilia, Rem's twin sister Ram, who has shoulder-length pink hair, spoke as venomously as always.

Ram was once the strongest demon clan, and was even known as the "hornless demon god."

If Ram hadn't lost the "horn" that is the source of the ghost clan's power in order to save Rem when the Witch Cult attacked their village, Ram during the period of victory would have even been stronger than Parker, the great elf. .

But even such a powerful Ram, when he learned that Wood once had a 50-50 fight with the Sword Master Reinhardt, and even used his momentum to stun nearly a hundred monsters, Ram realized that he might not be as powerful as he was in his heyday. He is Wood's opponent.

"Just wait and see, I, Subaru Natsuki, will definitely prove to you that as long as you are the protagonist, you will shine no matter where you are.

Even though I don't have strong strength and handsome appearance, I, Subaru Natsuki, still have a smart mind.

Next, when Emilia goes to the royal capital for the candidacy ceremony, I, Natsuki Subaru, will definitely be able to help and prove that I am better than Wood. "

The candidate ceremony for the pro-dragon kingdom Lugnik is about to begin.

Because the previous emperor died due to unknown reasons, only the five "Dragon Priestesses" recognized by the dragon are eligible to have badges with dragon patterns on them to participate in the election for the throne.

This time Emilia is one of the five "Dragon Witches", and Roswaal is a supporter of Emilia's camp.

This time, Ram was supposed to stay at Roswaal's mansion during the selection of the people heading to the Royal Capital, but this time Rem, uncharacteristically, asked Roswaal to allow Ram to go to the Royal Capital as well.

And when Ram asked Rem about the reason afterwards, Rem finally gave the reason hesitantly.

The reason why she wants her sister Ram to go to the royal capital is because Wood said that he might also appear there.

As for why Rem wants Ram to see Wood, there is a reason.

Because the scene where Wood used "healing magic" to heal Merry's broken leg in Alam Village was deeply remembered in Rem's mind.

Although there is magic in this world, the "water system" healing magic is far from the level of Wood's healing magic.

Ram's short horn has always been Rem's worry. Rem tried her best to become excellent, just to help her sister achieve everything.

Ram used to be the most talented ghost clan, but it was because of his useless younger sister that he lost that powerful power.

Although Rem never said it, she always felt guilty about it.

After witnessing Wood's miraculous healing power, Rem naturally asked Wood for help as if she had found a life-saving straw.

However, in response to the lovely blue-haired girl's request, the steely straight man Wood said that he was not Subaru Natsuki and had no interest in improving the favorability of the beautiful girl. He had important matters at hand, so he had no time to follow Rem to the Roswaal Mansion. Meet her sister.

Just kidding, Wood could also feel Rem's emotion when she refused to go to Roswaal Mansion.

Although he had no intention of going to the Roswaal Mansion before, he still decided to go to the Roswaal Mansion.

In the past, he resisted Wood going to Roswaal Mansion because he was too dangerous. Now that he needed his help, he wanted to invite him as a guest. Who did he think Wood was?

And as a person seeking help, how can there be any reason for you to rush to help others?

Of course, Wood did not completely reject Rem's request for help. After all, the girl's sincere attitude in the end really moved him.

And Wood could also see that the sister he mentioned should be someone very important to him.

So Wood told Rem that he might go to Lugnika's royal capital next. If they could meet again there, he would naturally try to help her sister.

Moreover, Wood also gave Rem a vaccination in advance, saying that magic is not omnipotent. Wood was completely unsure about whether his sister could be cured, so he could only promise the other party to do his best.

As for the other side, after Wood left Merry and Elsa from Adamu Village, he also followed the two to the location of the assassination organization in the underground world, and met their so-called "mother".

The so-called "mother" was indeed a woman. However, when Wood saw the other person, he could clearly feel that the other person was not a real human being...or not a normal human being.

The strength of Elsa and Mellie should be considered above the average level in this world, but when he saw the so-called "mother", Wood could clearly feel the fear in the two of them. .

"Elsa, Mellie, have you completed the task assigned to you? Who is this man? Why don't you explain to me?"

Elsa and their so-called "mother" were now behind a red curtain. Through the silhouette left on the curtain, one could clearly tell that the other person was a woman with a curvy figure.

The specific age and appearance of "Mother" have been a secret even within the organization. Even Elsa and the others have never seen her.

Hearing "Mother's" harsh voice, Elsa was still able to remain calm, but Merry had obviously been haunted by certain memories. At this moment, she had shrunk her body behind Wood and held Wood tightly with her hands. corner of clothes.

Under the red curtain, a shadow was like a crawling spiritual snake, snaking along the ground quickly and stealthily at the feet of the three Zewoods.

And very quickly, the shadow that should have been attached to the ground suddenly changed from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional shape, turning into shadow arms that grabbed the Woods and the others.

Looking at the many shadow arms that were derived like tree branches, Wood condensed the water vapor in the air at a very fast speed to form an ice knife.

Then, with the gorgeous knife lights in the air, the many shadow arms that shot towards them were like green grass and radishes at this moment, and were all cut into several pieces by Wood.

However, before Wood could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the severed shadow arms, when they were cut off, suddenly merged into the ground like black mud and disappeared, and soon condensed into new shadows again, attacking them.

"This is the ability of the "mother". It is useless to use swords and other attacks, because the shadow itself has no form.

So no matter how many times the attack is made, the shadows will gather together again to attack, endlessly until the enemy is chased to death."

Elsa, who was holding a scimitar in her hand, defending against the shadow attack while constantly protecting Merry who was constantly retreating, looked at Wood and said.

Elsa had tried to get rid of the "mother"'s control more than once before, but her power of protection was to control the blade, which was completely defeated by the "mother"'s ability in a sense.

And they never knew whether the mysterious "mother" only had this ability.

"The ability to control shadows? It is indeed a very suitable ability for killers.

Because it is a shadow, it can directly pass through obstacles, and when launching an attack, it is also silent, making it impossible to judge the angle and strength of the attack.

But as long as it is an ability, there will be weaknesses, even the strongest power is no exception!"

Wood waved the ice knife in his hand, deflecting all the arrows shot from the shadows on the ground, while gathering the magic power in his body, and opened his other hand to build a huge magic circle in front of him.

"Saint-level ice magic·Breath of Winter!"

As the blue magic circle quickly unfolded in front of Wood, a low-temperature cold air instantly filled the area where Wood and his team were.

The water vapor in the air condensed instantly at the ultra-low temperature, and the originally small underground space turned directly into a large ice cellar. Not only the ground and the surrounding walls, but even the ceiling turned into a bright ice surface in an instant.

The shadows that were rushing towards Wood and the others were now frozen in the ice as if time had stopped.

Looking at the room in front of her that turned into a world of ice and snow in an instant, Mary, who had been protected by Elsa, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Now she finally understood why Elsa kept calling Wood a "monster".
