Chapter 181: Immortality
“The nomadic tribe outside the town, as expected.” Little Finger nodded, not surprised at all.
The order in Autumn Field Town was unbelievably good, and all foreigners had to stay in the only inn in town, so it wasn’t easy to escape the eyes of others.
The only exception was the nomadic tribe outside the town. Because they needed to graze, they often left in small tribes, so they only needed to disguise themselves as one of them. Unless they were carefully checked one by one, they wouldn’t be caught at all.
“Inform our allies about this matter. Don’t take the initiative to attack. Report any situation.” Little Finger thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
Although Little Finger was young, he was experienced and knew that he couldn’t take the Book of Flesh and Blood alone, so he thought of his ally, the mysterious Viscount Hydra.
However, his guess was right. The assassin of the Flesh and Blood Church was indeed disguised as a herder of the nomadic tribe.
But no one expected that after the conversion, there was a connection between the system-converted population, which meant that they could tell whether the other party was one of their own without even speaking. So the assassin of the Flesh and Blood Church was like a husky mixed into a pack of wolves. He thought he was well disguised, but in fact, except for himself, everyone knew that he was a fake.
At this time, Bella had not yet received Owen’s notice to let the assassin go, and was still on alert. Therefore, after discovering the impostor, she sent someone to inform Owen while mobilizing the nomadic cavalry to prepare to encircle and suppress him.
“Interesting, how did they find out?” In an ordinary nomadic tent, the old shepherd held the trembling lamb in her arms, squinted her eyes, and stirred the heated milk tea, as if she hadn’t heard the approaching sound of horseshoes. She still muttered to herself in a puzzled voice.
She cast the spell at the cost of the flesh and blood of the target she was disguised as. From her appearance, voice to smell, she was 100% identical. Coupled with her proficiency in imitation, even relatives who had been with her day and night would find it difficult to find out in a short time. So she was very interested in how she was exposed.
Bloody Witch Chima, the notorious assassin of the Flesh and Blood Church, had a thousand faces and an immortal body. She liked to disguise herself as the closest person to the target, and at the most pleasant moment, she would reveal her bloody side. Just like a certain beauty who liked to take out an ice cone to bleed a man while riding.
She was originally a noblewoman who joined the Flesh and Blood Church to maintain her beauty. Later, in order to obtain the blessing of flesh and blood and eternal youth, she sacrificed her entire family and all the residents of her territory with a flesh and blood ritual. The flesh and blood of thousands of people created this terrible witch, who was one of the top 100 wanted criminals in the Empire. Killing or capturing her would earn a noble title and territory.
Considering the preciousness of the noble titles of the Empire, this woman could still live a comfortable life, which showed her ability. Therefore, even if the tent was overturned by the nomadic cavalry, she was still not panicking.
“The assassin who assassinated Professor Bryan, you are so bold!” Bella held the Tiger Head Golden Spear in one hand and a short spear in the other, staring at the opponent vigilantly, and did not approach rashly. Obviously, Charle had taught her a good lesson before.
“A demonized centaur? No, haha, what a fascinating combination of flesh and blood!” Chima laughed out loud, obviously seeing the combination of Bella and her beloved horse. She immediately let out a strange laugh.
But this did not anger Bella. She never thought there was anything wrong with her combination with her beloved horse. They were obviously together forever, galloping freely together.
“Since you are the enemy, then go to hell!” Bella calmly asked the nomadic cavalry to distance themselves, and then drew her bow and arrow.
The nomadic cavalry was equipped with recurve shortbows suitable for use on horseback. The range was a bit short, but the penetration power at close range was very strong. Chima was shot into a hedgehog almost without the ability to resist.
Bella witnessed with her own eyes that feathered arrows pierced through flesh and blood, penetrated through the gaps in the bones, and a large amount of blood gushed out with the appearance of wounds. In a very short time, the opponent lost most of the blood in her body.
“What the hell is this?!” Bella didn’t think that an assassin who could sneak into the magic school and successfully assassinate Professor Bryan would be killed so easily, so she immediately ordered the surrounding herders to evacuate to a farther place, and at the same time ordered the nomadic cavalry to continue to suppress the enemy from a distance.
Even though there were so many feathered arrows on her body that she couldn’t lie down, the twisted corpse still made an unhappy voice, as if she was a little annoyed that the prank had not succeeded.
“It really is a monster.” Bella gripped the Tiger Head Golden Spear in her hand, staring at the opponent vigilantly, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing that the plan to lure Bella in had failed, the corpse cracked open a gap from the middle, a pair of jade hands stretched out from the abdominal cavity, and after opening the belly, a naked woman crawled out from inside.
Even though she was covered in blood and mucus from her abdominal cavity, Chima still exuded a fatal temptation. It was a pity that she was facing system soldiers and Bella.
Although her companion Ai Mi Er was huge in size, she had the blood of a succubus. With her charm turned on, let alone men, even women couldn’t resist her carrot-thick fingers. Therefore, Bella, who had been tested for a long time, completely ignored the bloody charm of the opponent. Instead, she threw the short spear in her hand at the first moment.
The short spear made of fine steel was very heavy. Under the strong arm strength, this heaviness was transformed into even more terrifying lethality, enough to penetrate a fully armed knight and his horse. However, Chima completely ignored it and let the short spear tear apart a small part of her body. Even though her heart and lungs were hanging under her chest and swaying in the air, her shattered muscles and bones were scattered all over the ground, her expression still didn’t change.
Almost at the moment the injury appeared, a large amount of flesh and blood grew from Chima’s wound. The proliferating flesh and blood cells piled up there randomly, like churning beer foam. After filling the wound, these flesh and blood cells began to transform into muscles, bones, skin and flesh that make up the human body, perfectly filling the wound just now like plasticine.
“Immortal body!” Owen, who arrived through Apparition, happened to see this scene, and his face was not very good.
Actually, he knew that there was no such thing as an immortal body in this world. Even powerful gods had their day of fall, and there were ways to completely kill immortal devils and demons. A mere assassin who manipulated the power of flesh and blood could only be said to be troublesome to Owen, not a threat.
Owen didn’t come alone. He also brought Charle and Shinobi, but he knew that the most suitable person to take action was not them, but himself.
Influenced by comics and novels in his previous life, Owen could almost guess the opponent’s ability.
Now that she had revealed her flesh and blood disguise and Orochimaru-like shedding ability, coupled with flesh and blood manipulation and rapid regeneration, she could almost be equated with immortality.
In addition, it was estimated that she also had the ability similar to Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku. As for the ability to plunder the flesh and blood and vitality of others to restore herself, she should also master it as a member of the Flesh and Blood Church.
These abilities combined were the nemesis of flesh and blood creatures. Even if Charle was a legend, she might capsize, let alone the relatively fragile Shinobi.
Only he, who had the Puppeteer profession, could restrain the opponent’s ability.
