A mob of clones

Chapter 217 Dozens of times? Hundreds of times? Or thousands of times? (Additional update on 12.31 monthly ticket)

The sword blade flew across the sky, and the dark invisible hand twisted and flew through the sky like twisted octopus tentacles, and swung around like a whip, forcefully waving a piece of it in an area. Airtight protective net.

The sharp blade hit the protective net and was instantly bruised. The broken blade flew in all directions, and the nearby system even penetrated directly into the surrounding collapsed trees, leaving a trail on it. Deep cracks.

This is a showdown between the top killer Sausage Hunter and the lazy Sin Archbishop.

Judging from the strength alone, the two seemed to be evenly matched, and the relatively slow-moving invisible hand could not touch the graceful figure flying in the sky.

And the airtight and terrifying defense is like a hedgehog and a porcupine, leaving the agile assassin completely unable to attack.

After all, this is not a one-on-one showdown, but a long-planned assassination...

Seeing Us Romanee-Conti being forced to the spot completely unable to move by Elsa the Sausage Hunter, Natsuki Subaru finally had a look on his face as he cut off the neck of the last Witch Cult member besides Romanee-Conti and himself. A crazy smile appeared.

He turned his head and looked at the group of twisted monsters behind him, and then looked at the monster user Mei Li who was definitely no older than eight years old and was sitting on the monster. He stretched out his hand to send her an attack signal.

When she saw Natsuki Subaru's signal, Mei Li, who was sitting behind the monster, understood instantly. A smile appeared on her face, and then she controlled the monster to launch an attack.

The next moment, the ground around Romanee-Conti was suddenly cracked, and magical monsters with red light in their eyes flew out of the ground like cannonballs, and some of them were killed by invisible hands. The impact instantly turned into minced meat all over the ground.

The other part hit Romanee-Conti hard like a solid cannonball. The sharp teeth bit his body and instantly threw him to the ground.

Blood splashed around like a fountain. Romanée-Conti, the lazy criminal priest and psychotic priest, had his neck broken by these weak monsters, and his blood and femur flowed out. However, he could only cover his neck and keep struggling on the spot.

Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru's eyes showed no strange expression at all, and his dark eyes were as smooth as a deep pool.

And in his mind, he remembered Romanée-Contine's twisted and terrifying roar.

"Love~, this is the love of the witch--"

"The brain is shaking——"

"Really? I'm the last one?"

"I see, do I actually have the talent of a contract elf?"

Half of his face began to twist into a weird smile, while the other half of his face remained motionless. Natsuki Subaru maintained his weird expression. Although the left half of his body began to lose control, his face still showed no signs of expression. Any trace of panic.

The next moment, he used what he could still control, reached into the pocket of his black robe with his right hand, took out the dagger given to him by Elsa, and then stabbed it into his forehead instantly.

Subaru Natsuki died~

……

"Failed again."

After touching his forehead, he found no sticky brain or bumpy skull there. Natsuki Subaru closed his eyes slightly and let out a long breath.

"Number..., how many times has this happened?"

"Dozens of times, hundreds of times, or thousands of times?"

With his eyes closed, he pressed his body completely against a tree behind him. Feeling the long-lost silence around him and the warm wind blowing slowly, Natsuki Subaru didn't feel the slightest bit of relaxation in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of urgency. It kept coming to his mind.

Natsuki Subaru no longer knows how many times he has experienced death flashbacks. From the beginning, he couldn't even get close to the green zombie's body, but he slowly succeeded in getting closer to that guy.

Even later, he successfully broke through that guy's defense.

Natsuki Subaru summed up past failures time and time again and made progress again and again.

Only he himself knows what kind of pressure and pain he has accumulated in his heart.

In fact, during the first dozens of death flashbacks, Natsuki Subaru had already completed the task of assassinating Romanee-Conti, and even cut him into pieces and burned him on fire to make sure that he could not come back to life again.

But during that cycle, a woman wearing a small hat whom Subaru Natsuki didn't recognize at all suddenly jumped out of the darkness with a twisted and disgusting smile, shouted "Love and Diligence" and inserted the dagger into into his heart.

It was then that Natsuki Subaru learned that Romanee-Conti, a lazy and sinful priest, actually had the power to resurrect through the body.

It was that time that Natsuki Subaru realized that this disgusting guy was definitely not something he could deal with alone, so he moved forward with his assassination operation and began to keep a low profile.

That is a month in which there were only a dozen or so death retrospectives or even a period of more than ten days without a single death retrospective.

During that time, Natsuki Subaru kept making insinuations and trying to talk to Romanee-Conti through various techniques. After eight or nine attempts, he finally found the right technique and finally heard something from the other party's mouth. Clues of ability.

The fingertips that Romanee-Conti shouts and bites every day are not meaningless.

Those so-called "fingertips" are actually the body of the phoenix reborn after the death of Romanée-Conti.

Romanee-Conti only has dozens or hundreds of people at his fingertips. Even if Natsuki Subaru comes by himself, he is confident that he will kill them all.

But this will definitely attract the attention of the green-haired zombie. That seemingly crazy guy is not easy to fool. If something goes wrong, he will not listen to Natsuki Subaru's excuse and will directly tear him to pieces with his invisible hands.

Therefore, in order to complete the plan, there must be a powerful person who can hold this guy back.

Then Natsuki Subaru also approached Erza and Meili.

At the beginning, Natsuki Subaru just looked for Erza.

Because those fingertips are just ordinary people, he can solve it alone.

But it turns out he can't...

That Romanee-Conti guy was no fool. Someone suddenly came to kill him, and his fingertips began to die on a large scale. Anyone could see the clues.

So in that death review, Natsuki Subaru was too slow to kill with his fingertip, so he lazily reacted and committed suicide on the spot, went to another fingertip, and then directly twisted Natsuki Subaru's head with his invisible hand. Down, his death retrospective failed completely.

Later, he took Mei Li with him and asked Mei Li's monsters to help them hunt the fingertips together.

However, attempts at this process have not been entirely smooth. As long as Natsuki Subaru shows a slight flaw, Romanee-Conti will notice the abnormality and kill Natsuki Subaru again and again.

It wasn't until Subaru Natsuki finally killed all the fingertips again, and Elsa also killed Sloth, that the story progressed to a new stage.

Then, under the sneak attack of a nearby villager that Natsuki Subaru had met, Natsuki Subaru failed again... It was also at that time that Natsuki Subaru realized that when he was talking about Roman Nikandi actually has a hand left. That guy's body-seizing and rebirth ability is not only useful for fingertips, it is also effective for those who have elf talents but do not have contracted elf!

After spending several more death retrospectives and changing the location of the assassination again and again, Natsuki Subaru finally tested the limits of the lazy guy's ability and designed the assassination again.

After experiencing several more failures, Natsuki Subaru finally came to the one closest to success, which was the last time...

If there is one thing that Natsuki Subaru has not expected in his repeated attempts, it is probably that he actually has the talent of a contract elf...

Opening his eyes again, Natsuki Subaru looked at his hands, and he could feel his time. It had been at least a year since he traveled to the present, and this year's time feedback to this world was only Two months.

In other words, on average, he would die six times a day.

And this is based on underestimation. When he assassinated Sloth, some of the deaths were only traced back to an hour or two ago.

And there is still a window period. If we really want to count, this number may be doubled or tripled.

Normal people probably don’t go to the toilet so many times a day...

All kinds of thoughts in his heart were like big waves, but they were suppressed by Natsuki Subaru in the next moment.

He didn't hear any movement or feel any footsteps, but Natsuki Subaru turned his head sharply, and then he saw a person wearing a purple dress, with a certain charming temperament in every frown and smile. , the gorgeous-haired woman who looked like a rose covered with thorns appeared behind him at some point and showed him a charming chess piece smile.

Looking at Elsa arriving, Natsuki Subaru nodded slightly to him. He had experienced this kind of thing countless times, so naturally he wouldn't have any other expression.

As soon as Natsuki Subaru's eyes turned, he looked directly at the big tree on the side. There was a petite figure hidden behind the half tree. That was Elsa's sister Meili.

Without Elsa's reminder, Natsuki Subaru opened his mouth, nodded and said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started and do what we said before. I will lead him to the designated place first, and then you will follow my command."

Since Natsuki Subaru had already told the details before when he deliberately went to find Elsa and Meili, he had no intention of saying more here. He said the same thing as last time. Words, doing the same action as last time.

If there was anything different between him this time and so many times before, it would be that there was an extra book in his mind.

After so many death flashbacks, how could Subaru Natsuki not try to improve himself?

He also asked Elsa for some ways to become stronger, and kept them all in mind, and also tried to learn and train during death retrospection.

But practice told him that the muscles he trained could not be retained at all during death retrospective, and the mental power improved by meditation would disappear completely during the next death retrospective.

And the elf envoy who finally signed a contract with the elf, Natsuki Subaru, also directly lost the idea of ​​​​practicing. After all, according to Erza, this thing depends on talent.

And Natsuki Subaru estimates that this cannot resist the power of death retrospection.

But now it seems that these things can be picked up for the time being.

However, Natsuki Subaru took two steps forward and realized that Elsa, who was supposed to follow him, did not follow him this time. Instead, she stood there and looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, Natsuki Subaru hates change after so many deaths, because change is an uncontrollable factor, and every time the uncontrollable factors come, it may lead to the failure of his final result.

Although he is used to losing, who really doesn't desire victory at all?

"What happened? Why don't you leave?"

Elsa didn't say anything to this, she just suddenly threw her hand and threw a dagger.

There was just a "pop" sound, and a blood flower fell from the sky. After the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, Natsuki Subaru looked over there intently.

Then he saw a bird smaller than the dagger's head cut off one of its legs with one blow.

The twisted blade cut off the bird's legs, and at the same time, it was inserted into its chest and stretched out from the wings on the other side.

This bird is obviously not going to survive...

Natsuki Subaru had a puzzled expression on his face. It was just a bird, so what would be the problem?

In response, Elsa shook her head slightly, turned to Natsuki Subaru with a charming smile and said:

"There is a magical aura on this bird's legs, and I felt it looking at us just now."

"It's also very possible that this is the familiar of some magician, or the familiar of a magic beast like Meili. You can't even tell that. Little man, your vision still needs to be improved."

In response, Natsuki Subaru nodded slightly. He didn't care that Elsa called him a little man, he just kept the magician, familiar, and magic perception in his heart.

Although he has experienced it many times, he still has too few contacts with people and things. There are still too many things in this world that he does not know and has not been exposed to. These still need to be treated with caution.

However, although the appearance of this bird is indeed an unprecedented change in the past, Natsuki Subaru has fought against Sloth so many times, and Natsuki Subaru is willing to conclude that this is definitely not Romanee-Conti's handiwork.

Since it has nothing to do with laziness, it’s okay to put it aside for the time being.

Killing laziness first is the top priority now...

Inexplicably, Natsuki Subaru reached out and touched a notice placed in his black robe.

If you unfold the notice, you can see a beautiful girl with silver hair drawn on the paper. That was the Dragon Miko of the Lugnica Kingdom, the girl he swore to protect...

"Wait for me, Emilia, I will deliver all this to you..."

"No matter what the cost, I must defeat Romanee-Conti..."

……

the other side……

Feeling the loss of contact with a clone searching for Natsuki Subaru in one direction, Wu He also suddenly opened his eyes.

"finally found you……"

……

　Happy New Year, everyone
