Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

After completing Gilbert's commission, he let the new housekeeper see the big scene.

Zheng Shu casually opened a space crack, threw the glass container carrying Reinol's brain into it and left it alone.

On the other side of the space crack, outside the balcony of the lobby of the Libra headquarters, Leo, who had just received Zheng Shu's message, was waiting here with a thick blanket.

After the space crack was opened, the glassware that fell out of it just fell into the blanket in his hand.

"Hey, why didn't Mr. Zheng Shu come back together? Is there something important?"

After thinking about it, Leo didn't dwell on it too much.

In his opinion, it is not incomprehensible that a strong man like Zheng Shu suddenly has something important.

On the other side, after throwing Reinol's brain over, the smile on Zheng Shu's face quickly disappeared, and he turned his head to look at the depths of the thick fog not far away.

He is now very close to the center of the city. The area is sparsely populated and the fog is much thicker than the periphery.

This is the base carefully selected by the group of aliens. Only places like this are the most difficult to find.

"What? After seeing so much, you're not going to come out? If you don't come out, I'll go back."

"Ha!"

As Zheng Shu said this, a sneer seemed to come from the depths of the thick fog.

Then the thick fog slowly dispersed around as if it was guided, revealing a figure with golden hair and red eyes hidden behind.

"It seems that you are having fun with these little people."

The King of Despair still had his hands in his pockets and walked straight to Zheng Shu.

Looking at the traces on the road that were hit by the power of his punch just now, the tone of the King of Despair did not change much.

"It's okay, after all, I usually don't fail when I find someone to play with."

Zheng Shu folded his hands and calmly stabbed the King of Despair with words.

The King of Despair is just like his title. Since the main body does not have an actual body, it will actively look for people who are in despair and combine with them to share the body.

Although Zheng Shu doesn't know what this guy's purpose is, from the original book, he has never succeeded once since ancient times.

Although he always looks for people who are in extreme despair, he will still be defeated by the hope in the hearts of humans in the end.

In terms of his record, he is the kind of villain who has been defeated repeatedly in classic fairy tales.

"Tsk!"

It turns out that Zheng Shu's verbal attack is very effective. The face of the King of Despair, which was originally calm, immediately became angry at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he seemed to have thought of something again, and his expression quickly calmed down.

"Is your best mouth just a mouth? With this alone, I don't think you can be a safety net. I can't understand why Fei Muto would recommend you."

"To be honest, I can't understand it either. This bastard hasn't told me about this until now, although I did know it through some methods."

Zheng Shu was not angry at his words, but touched his chin in confusion.

When he was secretly following him before, Zheng Shu knew Fei Muto's idea of ​​letting him be a safety net for this guy, but up to now, Fei Muto has only been in seclusion in the laboratory, and no one knows what he is doing.

This made Zheng Shu think that he had given up the idea, but now that the King of Despair had come to him, it seemed that Feimuto must have been very sure when he told him.

But in this case, this matter was very strange.

Zheng Shu did not doubt that Feimuto had known that he knew his idea, but even if he agreed for the sake of the favor between the two, as the most basic courtesy, he should come and say it to him in person.

Although the Thirteenth King usually looked unruly, as people who could climb to this level, they could not ignore such things at all.

To put it bluntly, since everyone has endless lives, although they can be shameless in most cases, they still have to give "face" when consuming favors.

"To be honest, I feel very bad now. I always feel that I have been calculated by Feimuto."

As soon as Zheng Shu said this, the King of Despair, who was originally aggressive, nodded in agreement:

"To be honest, I feel the same way."

The two suddenly smiled at each other, and the originally tense atmosphere was reduced a lot.

"So let's talk business first. What exactly are you doing here? You're not here just to watch the fun, are you?"

Zheng Shu said as he looked at the King of Despair. Of course, he wasn't looking at his body, but searching for something deeper hidden inside the body he was currently living in.

"In fact, I almost know what that guy Feimto is thinking. After all, we have known each other for so many years, so I came here to test your strength." The King of Despair said his thoughts without hesitation.

"Oh? There is nothing wrong with wanting to test my strength. Everyone else has this idea anyway. But I'm a little curious, why do you look like I will definitely help?" Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, probably because my purpose is different from what most people imagine."

The King of Despair didn't seem to want to say anything more, just raised his hand to Zheng Shu.

Huh!

The nature of Zheng Shu's clothes suddenly changed, and the artificial fiber suddenly turned into a blue energy flame.

"Huh?!"

Even Zheng Shu couldn't react to such a sudden attack. Although he quickly extinguished the flames, he could still clearly feel the burning sensation on his body.

"You are... able to convert matter into flames? No, it is not a simple conversion of mass and energy. In addition to containing a large amount of energy, these flames also have special power."

"It's more than that."

The voice of the King of Despair came from behind, and Zheng Shu turned his head to avoid the incoming fire bomb.

Turning around, he saw that the metal ruins originally composed of containers behind him were gradually turning into balls of blue flames, and the figure of the King of Despair was emerging from these flames.

"Can you use the flames you create to travel through space at will? Although it is a very simple ability, it will be very difficult to fight you."

Despite what he said above, Zheng Shu's tone didn't change much.

"But these powers are still a bit weak for you, right?"

He once again tried to activate his ability on the material on Zheng Shu's body, but found that there was a strange magic circle blocking his power.

Seeing Zheng Shu's expressionless look and calm tone, as if he felt that he was being despised, the veins on King Despair's forehead popped out, and he spread his hands in a hugging gesture.

"So, how about you try facing this move?!"

boom!

Like a volcanic eruption, a large amount of material was transformed into blue flames by the King of Despair.

Not only the surrounding ruins or wreckage, but even the ground and air were affected by the power of the King of Despair, transforming towards the flames.

"Hey, it seems you won't stop until you get a beating. It's really troublesome."

Even though he was surrounded by heavy flames, Zheng Shu still looked calm and calm.

Looking at the sea of ​​fire around him that was enough to melt gold and iron in an instant, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, rolled up his sleeves with several burnt holes, moved his wrists, and made a fighting stance.

"Come on, I'm in a hurry, so don't die."

"watch out!"

Even the King of Despair, whose body began to turn into energy, didn't say anything. He waved to Zheng Shu, and the surging sea of ​​​​fire set off a tsunami of flames, pressing towards the seemingly small figure.

"Hey!"

Zheng Shu grinned and waved his fist at the overwhelming tsunami of flames.

…

…

In a secret ward of a comprehensive underground hospital in Helsalemz.

Renault, who had finally regained his consciousness, was talking to Gilbert, who was also lying on the hospital bed.

Renault is lying here because he has just undergone a rough brain removal operation. Even though the highly skilled doctors here have put his brain back together, it still takes a certain amount of time for the body to recover from the injuries.

The reason why Gilbert appeared here was because when he tried to knock Renault unconscious, his back pain worsened.

Touching the metal mask placed on his left cheek by the doctor, Renault fell into deep thought.

"After this incident, I learned a lot. I deeply realized that there is not only one kind of strength. It turns out that I am still far from a perfect butler..."

Looking at Renault who was reflecting, Gilbert smiled happily.

"Renoir."

"yes?"

"The look in your eyes now proves that you are very suitable to stay in this city, how about it? Do you want to consider officially joining Lebra and taking office?"

If Renault had heard this before, he might have happily agreed loudly, but after experiencing so many big scenes, when he heard Gilbert's invitation, Renault was shocked, and his face changed with fear. Got:

"No, no, no, no, no! I don't want it!!!"

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Zheng Shu used a little too much force." Leo, who came to visit from the side, saw Renault's reaction and sighed helplessly.

"Are you sure he doesn't want to stay? It's a pity. I feel Renault did a better job than Mr. Gilbert."

Zapp, who came to the hospital for dressing change, said carelessly. Before he could finish his words, he was pushed back by Leo.

"You guy, don't say this in front of others!"

Then he thought of what he had seen through Renault's eyes before, and nodded with some understanding:

"But it's normal. Normal people would definitely feel scared when they see such an exaggerated sight."

Zapp glanced at Leo, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, which made Leo feel uncomfortable all over: "What do you mean by that expression?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered when you first joined Lebra. You were considered a 'normal person' at that time, but now you have become a freak in the eyes of others."

"Is this so? Maybe I'm just used to it."

After thinking about it for a while, Leo also felt a little emotional about his changes. Unknowingly, he had actually become a lot stronger.

…

…

When Zheng Shu returned to Lebra again, it was already seven days after Renault was rescued.

With the help of Helsalemz's superb medical technology, Raynor had completely recovered and "escaped" the city in a hurry.

Likewise, Mr. Gilbert has finally taken care of his waist.

It was early in the morning when Zheng Shu came to Lebra again. At this time, there were not many people in the entire building except for the staff on duty, and there was no one in the headquarters hall.

...This is how it should be.

"Leo? I didn't expect you to come here so early, but why do you look so listless?"

Sitting on the sofa, Zheng Shu looked at Leo, who was lying on the sofa like a puddle of mud, with some curiosity.

"Ah... Mr. Zheng Shu... Long time no see." Leo's voice sounded as if he was about to die.

"Wow! You look so scary, do you need me to find a hospital for you?"

"No, I'm just a little tired."

Climbing up from the sofa with difficulty, Leo leaned on the back of the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing Zheng Shu's question, Leo seemed to have found someone to talk to, and he talked endlessly as if he was half dead before:

"The day before yesterday, Miss K.K's son was going to have a birthday, so I accompanied her to Landis Supermarket to buy a birthday card for 'Adventurous Boy Brimon'..."

"Brimon..." Zheng Shu's head gradually tilted.

"I'm not sure, it seems to be a very unpopular cartoon.

Anyway, although we finally found the last birthday card of Blimon in the supermarket, we were inexplicably ambushed and attacked by the gang."

"Injured?" Zheng Shu looked Leo up and down, and found no injuries on his body.

When Leo said this, his expression became tearful:

"No, Miss K.K is very strong and protected me very well. But the problem is that they smashed the whole store during the exchange of fire.

Miss K.K started riding away early, but I was caught by the mobile police and followed him to the police station, where I stayed for a full 26 hours."

"Wow... It sounds very difficult."

"Speaking of this, Mr. Zheng Shu, are you okay?! There has been no news from you for so long, and your clothes don't look good!"

After Leo came to his senses, he found that Zheng Shu's situation seemed to be no better than his own. His clothes were tattered and looked like he had just run out of a fire scene.

In fact, this was the first time Leo had seen Zheng Shu in such a mess since they met.

"Ah, you're talking about this?"

Zheng Shu glanced at his clothes that had been burned to tatters, and waved his hand indifferently:

"Nothing, I met a guy who refused to obey. Because he was more durable, it took a little time, and I beat him up a bit."

"I beat him up a bit..." Recalling Zheng Shu's punch that knocked away the control of an entire road, Leo was sweating, "Then I can only wish him rest in peace."

"Ah? That's not the case, I said it, I just beat him up a bit, I didn't kill him."
