The Black Book

In the sky, Stephanie Pons only saw a circle of white mist-like impact rings flashing on the ground. The next second, the monster-like boy was already on her face.

Her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole. Stephanie Pons subconsciously activated her innate magical power. Her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared dozens of meters away without any warning.

[Flash]!

The sword blade cut through the residual image. Zhu Haomiao turned his eyes and caught the enemy not far away. He released the sword in his hand without hesitation and poured the violent energy in the eight meridians into his palm.

Boom!

A palm hit the round handle of the hilt. The sharp eight-sided Han sword was like a steel needle shot out of an electromagnetic cannon. It instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, penetrated more than a dozen body protection magics, penetrated from the front chest of the eagle man, and passed out from the back.

Without realizing that she was being attacked, Stephanie Pons felt a flash of white light and a numbness in her chest. She looked down subconsciously and saw a circular hole that was transparent from front to back.

Through the circular hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, Stephanie Pons could not only see her remaining internal organs squirming and spasming, but also the lush mountains and land behind her.

After a full second or two, the intense pain reached her mind. Blood flowed from the corners of Stephanie Pons' mouth. She was no longer able to flap her wings, and fell towards the ground sadly like a wild goose shot by an arrow.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao's figure was still rising uncontrollably. He flew for nearly ten seconds before he completely exhausted his strength and began to fall gradually and accelerated.

Dong~

After stepping out of a saucer-shaped shallow pit again, Zhu Haomiao slowly stood up and looked around, and found that all the beast spirits around him had disappeared.

After moving his numb feet, he walked towards the direction where the enemy fell.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Haomiao found the "crashed" Stephanie Pons in a lush bush after picking up the sword he had shot out.

Not sure if she was on the verge of death, she could no longer maintain the transformation and returned to the appearance of a human girl.

However, the originally youthful and charming girl now had a mouth full of blood, and there was a bloody through-type gap on her chest. The trembling and broken organs were exposed to the air without protection, and she looked particularly miserable.

"You..."

The girl opened her mouth to speak, but the surging blood blocked her throat, so she could only stare at Zhu Haomiao with resentful eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I will help you get rid of it right away."

Seeing the boy raise the sword expressionlessly, Stephanie Pons recovered a little strength like a last gasp, and squeezed out a word from the depths of her throat.

"Remember... give... me back the badge..."

"Ah?"

I didn't expect her to say this after holding it in for so long. Zhu Haomiao was stunned with his sword raised. Before he could react, the girl's neck tilted, her pupils slowly dilated, and she lost her breath of life.

Looking at the gradually empty and gray pupils, Zhu Haomiao blinked and put down the raised sword.

The next second, the colorful mist invisible to others rose from the girl's body and sank into Zhu Haomiao's body like a swallow flying into the forest.

Greedily absorbing desire and luck, the strange black light in the boy's eyes squirmed and rolled, and he couldn't help but smile with pleasure.

But soon, the source and desire extracted by death were devoured, and the ethereal soul was ejected from this plane and disappeared in the induction.

Smacking his lips with unsatisfied feelings, Zhu Haomiao looked at the [Book of Black].

[Jealousy] +200, [Greed] +100, [Lust] +100

[Jealousy]: LV.4→LV.5 (178/1000)

[Agility] +4

[God] +2

[Strength] +2

Except for [Jealousy], which was already on the verge of upgrading, the other two original sins are simply a drop in the bucket!

Is this the only gain for a gold-level mage?

Compared with the previous death of Arawo Koichi, a mere silver-level native contributed 800 points of [Lust]. Zhu Haomiao frowned and pondered as if he had realized something.

It seems that with the increase of the original sin level, the same 1 point of experience has a very different "value"...

100 points at LV.0 may only be equivalent to 1 point at LV.6!

While pondering, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but think of a game with a big wave of gains, and shook his head nostalgically.

The value of Chuunibyou Taijun is still rising!

Sheathing the sword, Zhu Haomiao clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.

I hope I can meet him again in other fantasy realms in the future...

I hope he can grow fat and strong, with juicy and delicious meat...

Pah!

No!

I hope he is healthy, safe and happy!

Amen~

Drawing a cross on his chest, Zhu Haomiao looked down at the body of the girl who died miserably, and pursed his lips in embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, the boy dragged the girl's body back to the sentry post on the hillside. When he passed by several cold locust soldiers' bodies, he suddenly had an idea.

It seems... there is oil and water to squeeze...

Blinking his eyes, following the spiritual guidance, Zhu Haomiao cut off the heads of five locust soldiers and piled them into a small Jingguan on the flat ground of the sentry post.

In an instant, the simple ritual was completed, and a faint colorful mist materialized from the void and seeped into the boy's body surface bit by bit.

[Angry] +6

Emmmm...

That's it? ! !

Looking at the value that was better than nothing, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly.

That's fine, it's better than nothing...

Sighing, the boy suddenly had an idea and looked at the corpse of the girl with empty eyes.

Chop off her head too...will it?

The bold idea flashed by, and Zhu Haomiao finally suppressed the evil thought and shook his head.

It's not the locust army, it seems uncivilized to chop off heads randomly...

But the next second, the wild and abstract idea came up again.

If I don't chop off my head, I can kill her while she's still hot...

Hehehe~

Halfway through the thought, Zhu Haomiao suddenly reacted, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and he took a breath of cold air.

Oh my god!

After giving himself a hard slap, Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath and frantically prepared himself mentally.

First, you are a [human]!

Secondly, you are a [human]!

People can't, at least not while they're still hot...

Shutting a chill, Zhu Haomiao forced himself to calm down, took a gold badge with an oak and a crown engraved on it from the girl's body, and quickly left the hillside outpost.

Not long after he left, the [teammates] who saw the smoke of war rushed to the scene for support.

"Stephanie!!!"

The corpse of the "broad-minded" girl sitting against the wall with her head tilted was seen in front of them. Several teenagers swarmed over with sorrow on their faces.

After a brief moment of sadness, the Adventers, who were used to seeing life and death, calmed down and regained their composure.

"The holy emblem is gone. It should have been recovered by the enemy."

"The organizing committee will be responsible for recovering the emblems of the dead. Don't worry about that..."

Squatting down, the leading teenager gestured at the nearly one-inch wide circular hole on the girl's chest, his brows knotted a little.
