Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Zheng Shu came back to his senses and looked at the King of Despair carefully, then shook his head silently without saying anything more.

Regarding Zheng Shu's attitude, King Despair became interested:

"Actually, I'm very curious. From the first moment we met, you seemed to be full of hostility towards me. Although I also admit that our meeting was not very happy, but for people of our level, this kind of thing is just... It’s just a joke, isn’t it?”

"You are right, it is true." Zheng Shu nodded seriously, "So my hostility towards you has never been because of the unpleasantness between us."

"why?"

"Because strictly speaking, I am a Taoist priest."

The Despair King suddenly realized: "That's it."

King Despair has been observing the human world for thousands of years, and of course he is very aware of the various cultures in the human world.

When Zheng Shu said this, he understood that his form of existence was probably similar to being possessed by an evil spirit or seizing a body from a more popular perspective.

Meeting a Taoist priest under such circumstances is naturally not a good thing.

"No wonder."

"So when I met you, I didn't slay the demon on the spot just because of Femto's sake. Although I don't know what your purpose was, after finishing those messy performances, remember to return the body to this child."

Zheng Shu pointed at the King of Despair, but he was not pointing at him, but at the original owner of the body: Xiao Hei.

King Despair seemed not to hear Zheng Shu's words, but looked up at the sky, looking at the giant barrier that could be vaguely seen even in the night, wrapping the entire Helsalemz.

"Slaying demons... I hope so."

After coming back to his senses, King Despair looked at Zheng Shu and showed a weird smile:

"Don't worry, when the matter is over, I will return his body to him regardless of success or failure. If everyone is still alive by then..."

Zheng Shu shrugged, not paying attention to King Despair's threatening words, and glanced at him.

"I hope you can abide by your agreement, so you are waiting here late at night just to talk to me about these things?"

"No, meeting you tonight was a complete accident. In fact, it was not me who wanted to come here to wait for someone, but him." The Despair King shook his head repeatedly and pointed at himself.

Zheng Shu knew what he meant, that it was not the King of Despair but Xiao Hei who wandered the streets.

"Tsk, I just said that you two are one, and now it's so clear."

Muttering secretly, Zheng Shu thought for a moment and understood Xiao Hei's thoughts: "Waiting for Leo?"

"Yes, after all, she is the sister he is willing to sacrifice his life to protect. Even though he has met the boy with prosthetic eyes twice, he still feels a little uneasy, so this guy wanders around the street stupidly at night, just to create a chance encounter. If you tell me carefully...you are such a good brother."

Zheng Shu looked at the King of Despair up and down with a strange look, which made the King of Despair tremble all over: "What are you looking at?!"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to have such a side."

After all, based on the power gap between King Despair and Xiao Hei, although the two parties belong to the same entity according to the contract, their leadership status is very different.

As long as he thinks about it, the Despair King can forcefully suppress Xiao Hei's will.

So no matter what Xiao Hei wants to do, if the King of Despair does not allow it, he will never succeed.

"Tsundere has withdrawn from the environment."

Zheng Shu thought silently in his heart, withdrew his gaze, looked at the big clock on the street next to him as if nothing had happened, and changed the topic: "The banquet time is about to start, remember not to be late."

"Tch! So what if I'm late?! Which of the Thirteen Kings is a serious person?"

"That's true." Zheng Shu nodded in agreement, "It's just that if you go too late, those guys may exclude you and start playing by yourself."

"..." The Despair King was obviously silent for a moment, "Don't worry, this matter won't take too long."

"Are you willing to do this even if there are risks? Ah... you are indeed a tsundere."

Zheng Shu tried hard to keep his expression unchanged to prevent the King of Despair from seeing anything.

"Are you thinking about something wrong?" King Despair suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"I'm just thinking about how I should kill you if something goes wrong, don't think too much about it."

Zheng Shu didn't care that he was on the street now. He opened a space crack in front of him with an expressionless face, raised his legs and walked in.

"Let's go, remember not to come too late."

"Weird guy..."

There was a suspicious look in the red pupils, and then he thought of Zheng Shu's words just now, and the Despair King couldn't help but laugh:

"How to kill me? That's a good question. It would be great if I also knew the answer to this question..."

Shaking his head with emotion, he glanced at the pedestrians who looked a little curious because Zheng Shu suddenly opened a rift in space and left. The color of "King of Despair"'s pupils gradually changed and soon turned back to green.

"Huh? Was I distracted just now?"

Xiao Hei had just come back to his senses and before he had time to think about it, he found that he seemed to have become the focus of the street inexplicably.

By chance, Leo passed by him on a motorcycle at this time, and after spotting Xiao Hei's figure, he quickly braked and stopped. He turned around and said hello to Xiao Hei, who was still confused.

So, the two of them left here on a motorcycle as a matter of course.

…

…

The gathering space of the Thirteen Kings is still so gorgeous, and the stars in the sky are as gorgeous as a dream.

In such an environment, the Thirteen Kings also gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about topics they were interested in, or holding seemingly childish competitions.

Just like what King Despair said, the Thirteenth King was never a stickler for rules, so it was not yet time for the party, but when Zheng Shu came, many people had already started the party.

And judging from the marks on the table, they should have had more than one banquet.

"Oh, you're here."

Femto is still wearing a white dress, but his current image is not very gentlemanly.

He raised the legs of the chair he was sitting on, put his legs on the table, and sat swaying like this.

"Well, I just met the guy named King of Despair on the road again and chatted with him for a while."

Zheng Shu came to Femto's side with ease, nodded to Alikira next to him, and casually pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Ha, it seems that the relationship between you two is already very good." Feimu Toyile said.

"That's not true. We just met on the road. What's the situation now?" Zheng Shu didn't want to discuss this topic too much and turned to look at the noisy group of people next to him.

"Them? There are a few people who feel that they don't need to compete for the prank quota, but there are still a few who are very interested, so they are now playing guessing games there to decide the winner."

"Oh? Didn't you already agree to the King of Despair?"

"It doesn't matter, I believe that with the level of the Despair King, everyone will be interested." Feimuo laughed.

"This guy still has such a bad character." Alikira raised her head from her plate, wiping her lips gracefully while looking at Fimto with contempt.

"I agree." Zheng Shu nodded.

"Hey, when did the relationship between you two get so good? I didn't know about this kind of thing!"

Seeing that the two people tended to join forces to squeeze him out, Femto couldn't sit still.

"This is not a good relationship, this is just a tacit understanding."

Zheng Shu casually took a drink from the table and drank it, smacking it in his mouth, savoring the unique texture and taste of the drink.

Alikira also nodded fiercely, put down the knife and fork in her hand, picked up the bucket of popcorn next to her and started eating.

"When that guy from Despair invited me to meet, I felt something wasn't right, so I asked you to come over and refuse it for me. I didn't expect that you actually agreed to it... Do you know how troublesome it is to make that thing? ah!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Alekira angrily jumped down from her chair and kicked Femto's chair.

"oops!"

Femto fell to the ground in embarrassment. Femto was not angry even while lying on the ground, but laughed.

"Oh, the main thing is that what the guy said was so attractive. I thought it would be fun, so I accidentally agreed... Ouch! It hurts!!"

Seeing Femto rolling around on the ground holding her calf, Alekira angrily retracted her kicking foot on his calf, sat back on the chair, and ate popcorn one by one.

But judging from her swaying legs, she should be no longer angry.

When Zheng Shu saw this, he smiled and ended the greeting chat.

Compared with the other noisy Thirteen Kings around them, the small corner where Zheng Shu and the three of them were after finishing their chat was eerily quiet.

Of course, Alikira didn't need to say much. Although she seemed to enjoy attending parties, she didn't seem to like communicating with others.

Although he obviously attended the banquet, he was immersed in his own world and spent most of the time just eating.

Femto is almost in the same state. Although he is very active when he is playing pranks, he is idle most of the time.

It's just like today. When Zheng Shu came, although he was sitting in an awkward posture, he still put a novel on his lap and read it.

Zheng Shu's habit of attending banquets is also to eat a big meal from the beginning to the end. He usually doesn't participate in other people's chats until something special happens.

Therefore, due to the above reasons, these three people obviously came to attend the banquet, but the small group formed was unexpectedly quiet.

However, the other Thirteen Kings were not surprised by this. After all, in their view, these three were scholars or researchers who liked to study, and it was normal to have some quirks.

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, a low and melodious whistle slowly came.

The Thirteen Kings, who were indulging in guessing games, did not notice the visitor. Only the quiet trio of Zheng Shu discovered the last guest of the banquet.

"Um?"

Femto turned his head in confusion and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the figure walking from the gate:

"Oh, what a rare visitor."

"Hmph! Wasn't it you who invited me here in the first place?"

King Despair approached the dining table where everyone was gathering, looked at the noisy Thirteen Kings, and understood what they were doing just from their actions.

"Hey! It's so noisy, everyone, shut up!" King Despair shouted, causing a brief moment of silence in the gathering space.

"ah?"

Hearing such arrogant words, the thirteen kings who were enjoying the carnival raised their heads and looked at the King of Despair in confusion.

They were not angry about the interruption of their entertainment, because from the other party's tone, these guys smelled the scent of "fun".

"Of course it's my turn next!"

Pulling out the chair in front of the long table, the King of Despair sat on it in a rather arrogant posture.

"Oh? It seems you are very confident!"

"Ah, there are fun things to watch again!"

"Why should this guy start early? I want to play a prank too!"

"I don't accept it. I don't believe you can think of a more fun prank than mine!"

"Ah, woo, woo, woo!!!"

Amidst the noise, Zheng Shu looked at the Tyrannical King with his hands raised and roaring meaninglessly, and carefully reached out to poke Alykira next to him:

"Why is this guy acting like this?"

"Who knows, probably because he is a fool."

Femto, who had already known the news in advance, smiled calmly:

"Are you finally going to start too?"

"No, not the Fallen King."

Throwing the glasses worn by Xiao Hei on the table, the Desperate King slowly raised his head, and his scarlet pupils exuded unimaginable pressure.

"It is to end it all... my Great Collapse! Ha!"

...

Hearing his words, the gathering space suddenly became quiet, and all the thirteen kings looked at the Desperate King with strange eyes.

Then...

"Ahahahahahaha!!!"

"Did you hear what this guy just said?!"

"Hahaha! I heard it! It's really interesting!"

The thirteen kings burst into laughter, and for a moment, the entire gathering space could be described as a riot of demons.

To be able to reach the level of the thirteen kings, whether it is due to extraordinary talent or simple luck, everyone has one most basic characteristic, that is, intelligence.

Even the Tyrannical King, who was evaluated as a fool by Alykira, has intelligence and interpersonal experience far beyond the limits of ordinary creatures.

So although the words of the Despair King were nonsense, the people present quickly understood what he meant.

What the Despair King wanted to do was very simple to sum up, that is, to reproduce the Great Collapse!

If this shocking purpose was revealed to the outside world, if it was not regarded as a psychopath, it would inevitably cause a panic, even if the people in Hersharemz were all psychopaths who died in nothingness.

But here, no one would feel scared, everyone just felt it was interesting.

Just like Zheng Shu's first feeling after meeting these guys, because they have experienced too many things, the Thirteen Kings are not absolutely good or bad.

They are like children, and cannot be described by simple good and evil. They can strangle small animals at will just because they are happy, and they can also save each other because of happiness.

For them, even if it is an act like destroying the world, as long as it feels interesting, they don't mind releasing their power to help each other.

The King of Despair did not interrupt the laughter of these guys, but just put his feet on the table and waited quietly.

Soon, the Thirteen Kings restrained their laughter and looked at the King of Despair seriously. The pressure in their eyes was enough to crush an ordinary human to death.

"...Okay, we look forward to your performance."
