The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 201: Madam, Times Have Changed

Because of Salvatore’s reminder, Annan didn’t look at “Leer.”

He just lowered his head, leaning on his side to watch her rough movement.

Facing Annan’s frontal charge, “Leer” didn’t evade in the slightest.

Under her constantly swaying robe, where the two empty sleeves were, two transparent white bones the size of half a door were launched. The bony hands grabbed toward Annan!

Annan didn’t back down in the face of this obstruction.

He didn’t even use spells.

Instead, he flipped a few silver coins, which melted in the air and plated on his sledgehammer.

Annan suddenly stopped. With the momentum of [Charge], the slightly rotating sledgehammer was launched horizontally!

Under the additional bonus effect coming from the drugs and curse vessel, Annan’s “Barrier Destroyer’s Right Arm” slammed into the Leer’s right hand!

The offense was unstoppable, with the hammer summoning visible airwaves during the smash. The bony hands exploded into dust.

However, Leer didn’t seem to feel any pain. She didn’t respond at all but reached out her right hand and grabbed toward Annan.

The sharp finger bones were like five daggers. She seemed capable of beheading Annan with her grasp!

On the other hand, Annan took advantage of the momentum to throw his right hand out and block right in front of his head.

Five blood trails were slitted on his right arm. The blood gushed out in an instant and fell to the ground.

But the moment Leer grabbed Annan’s right arm, Annan did a hand chop with his glittering left hand imbued with curse power.

In just a moment, he cut off her extended hand directly!

At that moment, Annan sensed that there seemed to be something emerging in his belly.

It felt like a thin piece of bone was transported into Annan’s belly.

Is this the essence of my curse?

Annan had a better grasp of the better situation.

So, the curse could only be triggered after “attacking edible creatures.”

Although his right arm was dripping with blood, Leer failed to sever Anna’s tendon in that grasp.

Annan, who didn’t feel the pain, didn’t back down at all.

In the blink of an eye, Annan immediately took advantage of the Leer, having herself exposed at the expense of his injury. Of course, he wouldn’t give her another chance to rebuild her defense.

His blood-soaked right arm exerted strength again and slammed the hammer that was shining with silver brilliance.

After a dull shattering sounded, as if the skull was crushed, Leer was cracked as it flew out!

Annan crouched his body lightly at this time, and his left hand reached into the bag.

While putting the bleeding bone knife back in, Annan took out four silver coins from the bag.

He put one of the silver coins on his right arm and rubbed it down his hand. The wound seemed to be wiped away by an eraser, and the right arm was immediately intact.

At the same time, Annan used his right arm as support. His left hand reached out straight forward, and his right arm slanted to the left slightly, intertwining into a cross.

In the next moment, three silver lights shot out from Annan’s palm in the triangle arrangement, hitting Leer’s head, chest, and abdomen, respectively. The attacks directly smashed on Leer, who hadn’t yet landed in the air!

[You have dispelled the Silver Rank’s summon “Leer” in the battle, gaining 500 points of Shared Experience.]

“…Um?” Annan’s eyes widened.

What, how come I get so much experience?

No way, this rookie monster is actually from Silver Rank?

“Don Juan!” At this moment, Salvatore’s anxious voice sounded from behind, “Behind you!”

Annan didn’t hesitate. The moment he heard the sound, he rolled forward.

He felt a strong wind passing through the back of his head as if some hair had been cut off.

Annan quickly adjusted his posture on the ground, took out three silver coins from her bag, and sandwiched them between his fingers. They appeared like a brass knuckle for his fist.

He turned his head, but he was slightly startled with what behold in his sight.

Behind Annan was a hairless young girl. She didn’t have regular clothes but was covered in yellow bandages, just like a mummy.

She held a dark green jade long dagger in each hand. After the attack failed, she vanished.

Salvatore was stopped by a hunk man holding a black barbed sledgehammer as if he came out of a Disney animation.

Salvatore took out two reagent bottles from the box in a sorry state and threw them at the hunk.

Huh, another two more monsters came out?

That being the case, what happens on the other side.

Annan finally knew that he and Salvatore had overlooked something.

In other words, Annan didn’t know how much Rotten Man Church planned to do before seeing “Ritual: Roaring Heart.”

It occurred that the Rotten Man Church was determined to prevent Michelangelo from resurrecting.

Then, they wouldn’t just resort to summoning the most powerful “the Soul Eater” only!

There were at least nine of the summoned monsters.

Of course, since “Ritual: Roaring Heart” had been activated, they might only have eight left now.

In other words, they might be doing eight summoning rituals at the same time!

“Let me help you!” Annan shouted decisively.

The experience points belong to me. Wait, sorry, I mean this hunk man is too dangerous for you!

Annan didn’t even hesitate and rushed toward the hunk man.

Annan’s skin keenly felt the flow of air the next moment.

He stopped abruptly and raised the sledgehammer with his right hand.

The “mummy” who had just become invisible in front of him didn’t hide.

Instead, the mummy appeared in front of him dignified and slashed on the hammer’s handle!

In this encounter, Annan realized that she didn’t have much strength.

So, is the weapon poisonous?

“You don’t want me to pass?” Annan looked at her.

He was a little surprised by the intelligence of this summoned creature.

Indeed, Annan wouldn’t have any difficulty dealing with the hunk man.

But he hadn’t released his Falteration spell yet.

How did this mummy guess it out?

Annan sneered and slowly raised the hammer to her. He was charging his attack, ready to go at any second.

“It’s all the same. Since you want to fight me, I—”

Annan was halfway through talking to her, and a faint blue brilliance appeared in his eyes silently.

Under his feet, a frost aura burst out without warning!

The dead girl with bandages warping her up noticed something before Annan used Frost Nova.

She tried to leap back at a greater height.

But Annan Frost Nova spread faster than her movement.

After cold air expanded to its limit, it spread upward like wildfire under her foot.

In the end, she appeared like jumping into the cold air’s onslaught!

At the moment when her movements became stiff, Annan put away the hammer and hit her with his left fist, shooting out all three silver coins sandwiched between his fingers!

[You have dispelled the Bronze Rank’s summon “Infected Girl” in the battle, gaining 20 points of Shared Experience.]

“Heh…Madam, times have changed.” Annan sneered and withdrew his left hand.

Since this “plagued girl” dared to stop him, Annan immediately judged that she shouldn’t have the ability to predict.

Otherwise, she should know that working together to besiege Salvatore was the right choice.

But, she somehow knew Annan wanted to rescue Salvatore.

So, she should have some kind of fast and remote mind-reading ability.

But Annan’s advantage was that he moved fast!

Even Annan didn’t know what he might think the next moment.

He thought of the AOE spell all of a sudden and triggered it without any delay. Even she noticed it, she couldn’t avoid it!

(TN: AOE stands for Area of Effect; more of a gaming term)

“Don, Don Juan! Help, help me…Help!” Salvatore yelled to Annan in a sorry state.

He felt very wronged.

This hunk man had been chasing him non-stop. Not to mention the chance of spell casting, he didn’t even have the opportunity of utilizing the reagents.

“Don’t panic. I’m here!”

Seeing Salvatore being chased and rushed to his side, Annan raised the hammer excitedly.

He felt that he could be promoted by at least two levels!

These summons are nutritious food!

On the other side at 12 Rusty Water Street…

Kafni rubbed her eyes sleepily and leaned against the wall.

She was still wearing light clothing that gave the onlookers a gloomy feeling.

More than ten tentacles were protruding from under her skirt. One of which formed a cushion on the wall while lifting the skirt.

The remaining tentacles tightly locked the joints of a faceless man dressed as a magician in red. The tentacles raised him up and then slapped him to the ground!

“Didn’t he say to wait for me to wake up?”

She murmured in dissatisfaction.

The shadow suddenly became thicker as if sensing her feelings. They twisted the man in red directly into a ball.

Then, he burst directly into pieces with only a piece of red cloth remaining.

At the next moment, the air around her gradually became hot.

A knight wearing blood-stained crimson plate full body armor rode a tall horse with the same crimson armor. He held a blood pike and galloped from the other end of the street.

He faced the weak and helpless Kafni, but he treated her as if he was facing a dragon or a demon. He launched a standard knight charge to her seriously!

Kafni’s expression changed slightly for a moment, a little more serious.

“The Red Knight’s Chevaliers?” She muttered in a low volume and stood up straight.

Kafni turned on a tiny portable lamp that she carried around her waist and placed it behind her.

Then, she unbuttoned her coat slightly, expanding the area of ??her shadow.

Her clothes were unique. The front part was twice as one-fold thick than the back part. At her shoulder blades, there was another layer of cloth folded inward back. As a result, she had two layers of buttons inside and outside. Once she unbuttoned the first layer of buttons, it would spread out like butterfly wings.

Kafni faced the red chevalier galloping in the distance, and closed her eyes.

She condensed her mind power, gradually floated in the air, and her clothes fluttered.

If one were to look from behind, she looked like a black butterfly with its gorgeous wings spread.

Under the deep shadow cast in front of her, countless tentacles ran rampant like a deep ocean.

The knight who launched [Charge] in the face of this dark sea was unfazed.
