"Don't worry, it won't hurt much, my skills are great. Didn't it not hurt last time?"
Behind the mountain ridge, the Titan's head, with tentacles wrapped around a hearing aid, started to tremble.
At the same time, those like the Unicorn Demon King, who also received the sound signals through special means, all widened their eyes, holding their breath, unable to say a word.
Something's wrong!
Something is definitely wrong!
Why is everything slowly turning in a strange direction?!
Could it really be like they think it is?!
No, it can't be!
And in the next moment, the sound signal finally transmitted a small voice.
"Then—let's start—if you really have to—"
"Okay! I'm getting ready, don't be nervous, take a deep breath, everyone has a first time!"
"Mm-hmm—"
"Ready..."
And just at that moment, a sudden scream was heard.
"Ah—The doctor lied—it's really painful—it's all the way inside—"
Titan's head: "!!!"
Female head: "!!!"
Unicorn Demon King: "(ΩДΩ)!!!"
Titan's head instantly smashed a small hill nearby with one tentacle, flames of anger igniting above its head.
"Damn it!"
The Titan head was about to lose control from fury.
The small mountain was sent flying into the air with a mighty gesture.
"Don't stop me!! Let me kill him!! That bastard tricked my daughter into this and did such a horrible thing—I'll (beep) him! I (beep) him!"
The Titan head roared and charged forward.
Behind him, the female hunter (〃＞皿＜) desperately tried to hold him back with her tentacles.
"It's a misunderstanding—it's definitely a misunderstanding—our girl is just like us—she doesn't have a body!"
The Titan head slammed its tentacles against the ground, roaring, "Other parts are even worse! I (beep)!"
And Unicorn Demon King and the others were all (ΩДΩ) in shock, almost breaking apart.
So fierce! Truly a real warrior!
At this moment.
Without exception, including Unicorn Demon King, all the elite guards had developed an indescribable admiration for the human named "Lynn."
A real warrior dares to face a bleak life head-on!
An even fiercer warrior dares to face the root cause and stand firm!
How strong must you be to send someone a letter, lure them over, and then proceed to do such extreme things in the backyard?!
This person is invincible!
They trembled, unable to control their curiosity to hear what happened next.
"It's a normal phenomenon, by the way, you didn’t feel much pain, right? I’m pretty skilled, aren’t I?!"
"Mm (?w?)—It didn’t hurt—though it was weird—it wasn’t really painful—"
"That's good~ Let me check again… wait, it seems like something is blocking it. Little one, don’t move, I’ll take a careful look."
"Eh—like this?—Is it too much trouble for you?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll get a light and take a better look, it’s too deep to see clearly!"
"Okay~"
Hearing the signals from over there, Unicorn Demon King and the others kept their shocked expressions, their jaws almost hitting the ground.
So strong!
This is too intense!
It seemed like they were really getting into it! This is some heavy stuff!!
I can’t listen anymore! I can't listen anymore! Otherwise, they felt like they'd become impure!
This person is truly unbeatable!
Now they understood why their boss insisted on eliminating that guy; he had done way too much with his niece!
...
At the pharmacy's backyard.
Lynn forcefully pried open the earhole of the massive head, holding a lamp and curiously peeking inside.
He could vaguely see a lot of sticky foam, with dirt flowing out from inside the ear.
"Got a clear look!"
Lynn took the tool and, smiling, gave a thumbs up to Little One.
"It is indeed blocked, but don't worry. With my special lubricants and foam agents, just a few prods and it’ll be fine!"
Little One (?w?) said: "Mm-mm—sorry to trouble you!"
【Ding! Little One's trust in you increased by +1】
Without further delay, Lynn immediately grabbed a brush and vigorously inserted it into Little One's ear, clearing out the large blockages deep inside the ear canal.
It didn’t take long before all the debris was cleared.
Lynn smiled and asked, "Can you hear better now?"
Little One, amazed, listened to the sounds in the distance and replied, "Hmm! I think I can hear more things now!"
"Doctor—you’re amazing—"
【Ding! Little One’s favorability towards you increased by +10】
【Ding! Little One’s trust in you increased by +10】
Lynn gave a thumbs up, a glint flashing across his teeth as he grinned.
"This is just the beginning! We need to take care of other areas too for better health!"
"Mm-mm—"
...
In the distance, on the mountain ridge.
"Ahhh (≧▽≦)—That tickles—don’t touch my upper and lower jaws so casually—"
(Oral care in progress)
"Mm—my cheekbones are sticking out—"
"Ah-choo (≧?≦)?—It got on my face—bubbles and everything—so slippery—"
(Lynn worked hard, using soap water to wash her face)
"Eh? Does it have a beautifying effect? Please—be more even—"
(Spreading homemade baby sunscreen)
Behind the mountain ridge, a group of Unicorn Demons were (ΩДΩ) in shock, standing by the equipment, listening to increasingly strange and deepening sounds from over there.
The enraged Titan head was being held in place by the female hunter’s tentacles, its mouth blocked, constantly growling in fury, its eyes like they were about to burst, burning with uncontrollable rage.
"Roar—roar—!!"
The Titan head roared in anger.
The female hunter, blankly covering half her face with a tentacle, muttered, "My daughter… has grown up…"
Nearby, the Unicorn Demon King absentmindedly nodded and muttered, "They actually... spent more than two hours..."
At this moment.
His admiration for the young man named Lynn had grown to a level that was beyond words, like an endless river.
It was like the Yellow River overflowing, uncontrollable.
Really!
He couldn’t think of any words to describe his feelings anymore.
Just a head, and it played out so many tricks…
If there were a body involved...
That would be something else!!
...
【Ding! Unicorn Demon King’s admiration for you increased by +50】
【Ding! Unicorn Demon King’s admiration for you increased by +80】
【Ding! Unicorn Demon King’s admiration for you increased by +100】
【Ding! Congratulations on triggering the achievement: Acknowledgment from the Big Shot, you have gained 200 base experience】
【Acknowledgment from the Big Shot】: A special achievement that can be earned when a king-level existence expresses deep admiration and appreciation for you. You have earned permanent buffs: All attributes +10, Charm +1.
As Lynn was helping Little One wash her face with foam, he suddenly froze, looking around in confusion.
He had no idea what just happened.
How did he get another strange achievement?
He hadn’t done anything yet!
Could it be that someone watched last night’s video, or maybe his critical hit potion got a big shot’s approval?
Hmm…
That seemed possible, after all, his potions were perfect, made by the system itself!
Thinking of this, Lynn felt even more at ease.
He continued to clean Little One's skin with growing skill.
【Ding! Little One’s favorability towards you increased by +1】
【Ding! Little One’s favorability towards you increased by +1】
What he didn’t know was that, in another direction of Soul Alley, a tall figure in a black robe slowly emerged from the dark mist, appearing at the entrance of the alley.
He squinted, with mechanical structures on his face emitting eerie glows.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Behind him, two massive blood puppets appeared, their enormous pupils staring emotionlessly at the Soul Alley, coming to a stop behind him.
At the same time, a group of human-headed spiders appeared.
The sight was overwhelming.
"We’re here!"
The Machine Demon squinted.
The Confrontation in Wandering Souls Alley
Since the battle ended last night, he had immediately mobilized a large force from the Demon Association, rushing to this place at the fastest speed possible.
Once again, the image of that human boy surfaced in his mind.
The one who had managed to fuse his cutting-edge biological weapon into his own body.
"I hope you haven’t run away."
He narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and indifferent.
"Otherwise, that would take away a lot of the fun!"
He had already planned his next steps.
This time, he would try to capture him alive, then take him back to his lab for dissection and a thorough study of the boy’s unique traits.
Perhaps, with this sample, he could achieve a major breakthrough in the Demon Association’s future biological weaponry projects.
Just to be safe—
This time, he had even used his authority to mobilize two Flesh Puppets, Model 3 in one go.
Along with a large number of Hunters.
With this level of firepower, even a Monarch-class being would have no choice but to back away.
He was absolutely confident this time.
A cold smile appeared on his face.
"You should feel honored—having the vice president himself come after you. You won’t die in vain!"
"Move out!"
With a sinister gaze, he led his Hunters and Flesh Puppets into Wandering Souls Alley.
Meanwhile…
In the backyard, Lynn was happily using a towel to wipe Xiaoxiao’s face when a sudden system notification rang in his ears.
【Ding! You have triggered a special mission: “Leave a Complete Corpse.”
Mission Objective: Try your best to stay alive. If that’s not possible, at least keep your body as intact as possible.】
【Mission Rewards: 5 Black Skull Coins, Base EXP: 3000, Special Reward x1】
【Bonus for Leaving a Complete Corpse: 50 Black Skull Coins (Spirit Money), 1 Titanium Alloy Coffin, 5 Funeral Wreaths, 1 Formal Suit】
Buzz—
Lynn’s movements instantly froze.
But he quickly composed himself, his expression returning to calm.
A mission?!
Just as he had guessed—after failing twice to kill him, the Demon Association had finally decided to send stronger forces to deal with him.
And since the system had now issued a mission, that meant the danger was already imminent!
But this mission…
Was a little too much, wasn’t it?!
The completion criteria had been lowered this much?!
His mind immediately conjured up an image—
Himself, lying peacefully in a titanium coffin, dressed in a formal suit, holding flowers in his hands. Outside, spirit money fluttered through the air, funeral wreaths swaying in the wind…
They even arranged the whole damn funeral process for me already?!
Lynn clenched his teeth, his expression turning serious.
But thankfully—
Good thing I was smart enough to invite Xiaoxiao over last night.
Although it was a shame his teacher hadn’t returned, the situation was already good enough.
"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry?"
Lynn turned to the little girl beside him, who was still scrubbing herself clean.
Xiaoxiao (?w?) blinked.
"Is it a big feast? I haven’t eaten anything for… three days—"
Lynn gave her a thumbs-up and smiled.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered delivery. It’s definitely a grand feast this time—I guarantee you’ll eat to your heart’s content!"
Wandering Souls Alley – Outside the Apothecary
Thick, rolling black mist surged to the sides, slowly dissipating.
From within, Mecha-Demon stepped out, his gaze dark and foreboding.
Behind him—
Two massive Flesh Puppets and an endless horde of Hunters followed.
"Stop!"
He suddenly raised his hand, halting the army behind him.
His gaze instantly locked onto the boy emerging from the street ahead.
Dressed in simple linen, arms crossed, a faint smile on his lips, eyes gleaming with an eerie mystery—
Standing there, calmly watching them, was Lynn.
Mecha-Demon narrowed his eyes.
He recognized this boy at a glance.
The same one who destroyed one of his Hunters last night.
He actually didn’t run away?!
And he was standing there so openly?
What the hell is this?!
"Welcome, gentlemen. I’ve been expecting you."
Lynn smiled politely, bowed like a true gentleman, and adjusted his monocle.
At that moment, his infuriatingly aristocratic aura was off the charts.
Meanwhile—Across the City’s Surveillance Network
A sudden intelligence alert flashed across VisionNet.
【Intelligence Update: Urgent Report from Wandering Souls Alley! Warning! The danger level of Wandering Souls Alley has been upgraded to MAX.
A large number of top-tier biological puppets have appeared in the area.
They are suspected to be advanced creations of the Demon Association.
Click to view. Fee: 100 Skull Coins.】
Across the city, thousands of residents—too afraid to go outside—immediately clicked on the report.
Within seconds, over two thousand viewers flooded in.
As the black mist faded on-screen, the tense confrontation outside Blood Saw Apothecary was broadcasted live.
The audience was stunned.
"The Demon Association! Yes! I recognize their insignia! Those are all flesh weapons from the Demon Association!"
"Wait, what the hell is happening?! Why did they send so many biological weapons to our district?!"
"Did you forget?! The past two nights' battles—one of the factions was these biological puppets!"
Their shock turned to horror as they saw the massive horde of Hunters.
Then—
Their eyes locked onto the boy standing before the army, calmly smiling at them.
"It’s him! The apprentice from Blood Saw Apothecary!"
"What the hell is he doing?! Trying to stop them alone?! He’s out of his mind!"
"Wait—don’t forget! Last night’s battle… he was one of the fighters! Obviously, the Demon Association is here for him!"
"No way! Is he seriously planning to fight this entire army by himself?!"
"…But I don’t know why… standing there like that… he looks kind of handsome!"
"Handsome +1."
The live chat exploded.
Outside Wandering Souls Alley—On a Distant Hill
Beyond the alley, behind a ruined hill, a massive titan skull curled a tentacle around a telescope, observing the scene.
The One-Horned Ghost King squinted.
"Looks like the Demon Association’s biological weapons… quite a large force too. And they seem to be after that human kid."
Just as he was about to contemplate further—
He froze.
Wait a minute.
That human kid…
Did he invite Xiaoxiao over just to deal with these biological weapons?!
Was that “feast” he mentioned in his letter actually…
Without hesitation, the Ghost King frantically grabbed his telescope, searching for Xiaoxiao.
And in the next second—
He saw her, crouched in the backyard, peeking at the army with huge, excited eyes.
Drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Eyes sparkling (?w?) with hunger.
"Slurp—slurp—"
The sound of licking lips and swallowing saliva.
The One-Horned Ghost King (**?Д?)ノ
"I FREAKING KNEW IT!!!"
