I like crossing the most

Chapter 489 There are five people stronger than me
Climb fell to the ground, his face covered in sweat and turning pale. But he was still breathing, but the wound through his abdomen was fatal. If he didn't get immediate treatment, he would die in a few minutes.

Want to save?
Or wait until death and then resurrection?
In fact, healing such a near-death wound is surprisingly delicate work, so Lin prefers to die and then revive. Although it consumes more magic power, it is simpler and more brutal.

...No, forget it.

After all, it is a precious chance for resurrection.

I don’t know if it was because of the dirty things in the brothel, but Lin’s thoughts became a little extreme and he actually thought of using this method.

Lin walked into the room, approached Climb as if no one was around, and cast healing magic with both hands.

Wow! This person... is so cute."

The sissy hiding in the corner's eyes lit up when he saw the priest healing the injured, and Dunetron could already guess what he wanted to say.

"I said, let's take him away. This man touched my heart at once. I want to love him well and treat him as my most beloved male lover."

Is that really the case?

How stupid can this idiot be to not see the current situation clearly? If he hadn't been entrusted with a task, he would have definitely abandoned him and fled.

Sand Dunetron lowered his voice slightly and said, "Are you serious? I said you should know who he is, right?"

"...I can't remember, but he looks familiar. Could it be that he has slept with me before..."

"He is Lin Brandt Dale Reburn, the second son of the Reburn family, the leader of the Axis Cult, and also the partner of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"What did you say?!"

The sissy's voice became shrill.

Should we say this is a common problem among men? They always lose their minds in front of beauty, even if they like boys.

Lin was not panicked when he was recognized. After all, he was a thorn in the side of Eight Fingers. It would be funny if he didn't recognize him.

"Wait...! What are you waiting for? Kill him, Dunetron!"

The sissy shouted loudly, completely forgetting the idea of ​​treating Lin as a male concubine.

Dunetron didn't move.

"It can't be done."

"Aha?!"

"I advise you not to move, or you will be beheaded in the next second."

"What did you say……!"

The sissy turned his head and was about to loudly criticize Dunetron for being a useless guy, but the next second his neck felt cold and then began to heat up.

"You're kidding me..."

His face was distorted and frightened.

Because he found that his neck was cut, and the cause of this was a silk thread so thin that it was invisible to the naked eye.

Originally, he would not have been able to find it at all, but because the silk thread was dyed red with blood, which flowed along the silk thread and dyed it, and after flowing a short distance and dripping onto the ground, he was able to see clearly.

Not just this one.

It's like suddenly discovering a gecko on the wall. After getting used to the sight, you'll find that the entire open room is filled with these tiny silk threads in all directions!

His neck had already been entangled by these extremely sharp silk threads, and if he moved abnormally, his head and body would be separated!

"No, don't...I'm going to die?"

The warmth flowed down her thighs and wet her pants. Her legs were trembling and she wanted to collapse on the ground, but when she thought that if she sat down her head would probably fall off, she forced herself to stand up.

On the other hand, Lin's treatment came to an end.

"How's it going, Clem?"

"Hmm, hmm...feels...good?"

Climb clenched his fists.

His physical condition was unexpectedly good, and the wound on his abdomen had healed. The only thing that was not working well was that he didn't have the strength to stand up. This was due to the fact that he had just used up all his strength in martial arts, and also due to the fact that he had lost a lot of blood. In short, it seemed that he could not be a fighting force for the time being.

But it doesn't matter. With this powerful priest in front of us, we will definitely win.

Seeing that the young guard was fine, Lin felt relieved. He turned his head and looked at the two motionless people, or to be more precise, Sand Dunetron.

"I didn't expect you to see through my tricks."

"Hehehe."

Dunetron grinned, but it was mostly bitter. If his terrifying skill of controlling the situation silently was regarded as a trick, then what was his illusion and martial arts skills?
As for whether he was being modest, Dunetron could understand from Lin's expression and tone that this technique was just a sleight of hand in the eyes of the other party.

He did not forget that Lin's main job was a priest and a magic caster of faith!
In that case—

Dunetron gritted his teeth and said to Lin, "I say, Master! I think we should stop fighting. Aren't you the master of the Akusis Church? Haven't you ever thought about controlling this kingdom and turning it into a church? How about cooperating with us? With Eight Fingers' help in the dark, we will definitely be able to quickly control the kingdom, and then it will be easy to establish the Akusis Church! You want to create a church, right? I can tell from your eyes."

Ah, the invitation to cooperate has arrived.

Should we say that this is what every villain would do? At the beginning or middle of a battle, they would start talking and say something to invite people to join.

To be honest, I'm a little tired of it.

"Please think about it carefully. Eight Fingers can do the dirty work for you, don't you think? After all, the church has some enemies, so it would be convenient to have Eight Fingers around..."

"Boring as hell."

Lin's incredibly cold and contemptuous attitude froze Dunetron's expression.

"……what?"

“Listen up, rubbish. Axis is a slightly weird church, but we will never work with rubbish that harms the common people. Rather, you are the biggest cancer of the kingdom. You are the enemy of the church.”

"you you……"

The respect just now disappeared, and the insulted Dunetron's face suddenly turned blue and ugly.

"Eight Fingers will bring you immeasurable benefits. Don't you even understand this?"

"Benefits? Can Eight Fingers help me collect secret treasures? Can Eight Fingers help me collect artifacts?"

"It's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

The so-called secret treasures and divine artifacts are just alternative names for magic props. The fourth level and above can be called secret treasures, and the seventh level is the artifact level. Even powerful dark organizations like Eight Fingers that control the underground forces of the kingdom do not have divine artifacts.

"So, your desire to cooperate with me is nothing more than an attempt to absorb nutrients from the kingdom in a legitimate way. In the final analysis, you are just a bunch of termites and cancer."

“Hehe, hehe… What a pity, Axis Cult Leader. It’s a pity that I have to kill you here. If this can cause chaos in the Axis Cult, it will be a good thing for Eight Fingers.”

"Can you do it now?"

Lin looked at the silk thread that was entangled with him, as if to say that he was now a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Of course, I can kill you." Dunetron said coldly, "Killing you is not difficult. After killing you, I will kill the little devil lying on the ground. I will not show mercy, nor will I treat it as a joke. I will use all my strength."

After speaking, his figure slowly disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Gou moved his fingers to strangle him, but the silk thread only passed through his afterimage, without any actual touch.

Did he just slip away during the conversation?
He was seeking cooperation while trying to crack the magic, and was being cautious in both preparations.

"But you should know that you can't engage in close combat in an open hall filled with silk threads."

"Huh, is that really true?"

Suddenly, a cold breeze came from behind, and it was blowing towards his neck with murderous intent, but Lin just bent his body slightly and dodged it, and the swinging sword quickly passed by his hair.

"I see. Did you cut the thread with brute force?"

This is Lin's only weakness.

If silk thread is to be sharp and hidden, it needs to be very thin, but the disadvantage is that it is very fragile... Of course, this is relative.

Compared with ordinary weapons, silk threads may not be inferior, but compared with Dunetron, whose whole body is covered with magic props and whose weapons are magical equipment, it is still far inferior.

"Hey, when can we find a magic item like silk thread?"

Lin sighed slightly, and then quickly dodged the slash of Dunetron. And he didn't just slash randomly, not only did he cut all the silk threads in the room in the most labor-saving way, but he also freed the sissy. After being freed, the sissy's legs softened and she fell to the ground.

"Haha, how about it, did you see it?"

Dunetron seemed very proud, but did he forget that in Lin's opinion this was just a trivial trick?

Seeing Lin standing still, he ran towards him again at high speed.

"I won't give you time to chant. After all, as long as a magic chanter has time to prepare, he or she can be stronger than a warrior. This is a consensus. But unfortunately, I am not only a magic chanter, but also a warrior!"

Dunetron's profession is a combination of a magic caster and a warrior, so in battle, he can compete with magic casters in martial arts, and with warriors in magic. He can always be on the more advantageous side, and this is the basis for him to become a member of Six Arms.

"There is no way to redistribute the silk threads you just laid all over the hall in such a short time! So... you succeeded!"

When Dunetron, with a wild smile on his face, jumped up and prepared to chop Lin in half from head to toe, Lin hooked his fingers slightly and tied him up tightly in just a moment.

"Okay, I got it."

"W-What!?"

The tied-up Dunetron fell to the ground just like that.

"You actually jumped into the air where it's hard to move your body, so that I can catch you so easily. Thank you so much."

"puff--"

Hearing these sarcastic words, the breath that Shachutron had been holding when he jumped was completely released.

It's so insulting!

While he was tied up, he heard Lin ask, "Among the six arms coming this time, are you the only one?"

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. I heard that the Six-Armed Leader, Fighting Demon Jie Luo, was also there, but why can't I see him now? Could he have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped from somewhere else?"

"…How is that possible? I'm the only one here."

Sandchuteron said this, but his eyes kept moving around, and even people who were not good at cold reading could guess that he was lying.

Lin suddenly realized.

"I think I understand. You've been abandoned."

"..."

"After all, even if he is a member of the Six Arms, he is only the weakest among the Six Arms. After being defeated, he will definitely say something like 'There are five people stronger than me'."

"..."

"Maybe it was because I leaked the news that the guy escaped without a second thought, but he accepted the commission from his companions and couldn't shirk responsibility due to the conflict of interests within the Eight Fingers, so he threw out a scapegoat... or something like that?"

——You are talking nonsense!
Sand Dunetron wanted to retort loudly.

But even if they are six arms, they are not a monolithic entity. They are called six arms only because six powerful people gathered together. So what Lin said is very likely, no, it is definitely the case.

He was just an abandoned pawn who was kept in the dark.

"Okay, no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter to me. When we get back, I'll use mind control to get information from Eight Fingers."

Upon hearing this, Dunetron's face turned green.

Of course he knew what mind control magic was. It was a terrifying magic that destroyed people's minds and turned them into puppets.

But under normal circumstances, shouldn’t it be coercion plus inducement? Otherwise, what was the intimidation just now?
"Because I find it troublesome." As if he understood what Dunetron's green face meant, Lin said with a smile: "For trash like you, there is no need to coerce or bribe. I prefer the simple and rough method."

"What a joke!"

Suddenly, Dunetron broke free, disappeared again, and then reappeared in the corner of the room.

Lin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and praised: "Excellent sleight of hand. You first transformed your arm, opened a little space to create the illusion that I tied you up, and then used the space to escape."

It's like magic.

The principle is simple, but it is very difficult to deceive the audience and use it to perfection. However, as a member of the Six Arms who can rival the Adamantium-level adventurers, it is natural that he can do this.

"And then, what are you going to do?"

"...Tsk."

Dunetron squared off.

Knowing that there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape, he still made his thoughts clear through his actions.

——He will never surrender!
Seeing this, Lin smiled and said, "Very good, then let me see what other tricks you have to please me."

Then he walked slowly towards him.

Looking at Lin who was gradually approaching, the pressure brought to him by the unarmed priest was undoubtedly enormous.

Dunetron put the knife into his side.

He hid the knife.

Draw the sword and slash... No, it's simply a move to block the enemy's vision so that the enemy can't see the trajectory of the attack. It's not as good as draw the sword and slash, but for him it's the last counterattack.

“——Go to hell!”

He shouted loudly and swung his right arm violently.

The long sword bit towards Lin's neck like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and both the murderous intent and the sword blade were aimed there.

however--

"Boring, is this all you can do?" Lin quickly lost interest. "You used this method to hide the trajectory of the sword, which was a good idea. You even used a sleight of hand to hide it a second time. If you're not careful, you'll be caught. But you overlooked one thing."

The sword blade was about to touch the priest's neck, but the priest did not move and let the sword pass by.

The imagined blood splattering did not appear. A faint shadow disappeared after passing across Lin's neck. At the same time, Lin quickly stretched out his hand and clamped the sword blade with just two fingers.

"No, it's impossible!"

Dunetron widened his eyes in disbelief.

"The human body is not that simple. Just like your forearm can never rotate once, the way you exert force is too crude. Even if you don't look at your arms, you can understand your attack range by looking at the way your legs, shoulders, and left arm exert force and the posture. Sometimes, not paying attention can help you see more clearly. Do you understand, Climb?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Climb’s eyes widened with excitement.

He had seen this kind of fighting skills before. It was during a sword fight. Just by looking at his body, one could guess what skills the man had learned, what martial arts he was good at, and how he was used to attacking. That kind of elegant fighting style with a transcendent perspective was what he had always longed for, and now he saw it again!

"No, impossible!" Sand Dunetron's eyes were bloodshot, and he retorted loudly: "How could you know this? This is absolutely impossible!"

"How many people's bodies do you think you have seen in order to treat so many injuries every day, idiot?"

Lin applied a little force with his fingers, and the magic weapon was broken on the spot. Then he used the tip of the sword to cut Dunetron's throat.

"is that a lie……"

Until his death, Dunetron had an expression of disbelief.

He was obviously pursuing power, thinking that he could stand at the top and compete with the steel-level adventurers, but he didn't expect to be killed so easily.

Ah, I forgot to hold back.

Looking at the collapsed Dunetron, Lin regretted pretending to be a master.
