Beyond the forest.
Xiao Lin is on standby with Liu Zi.
It's not time for them to show up yet.
In order not to alert others, they stayed away from the forest for the time being. Otherwise, Subaru would be noticed and retreat before Natsuki Subaru came into contact with the Witch Cult, and all their preparations would be in vain.
"Even so, can Master Xiaolin see Master Natsuki? That master is more delicate than a flower and will die if you are not careful."
The elegant maid's poisonous tongue is cruel and sharp.
If Subaru Natsuki were here, he would definitely complain loudly about being looked down upon.
But in fact he is really that fragile.
Thinking you are invincible is just deceiving yourself.
"Don't worry, I'm always watching him."
Xiao Lin closed his eyes, but the Teshu symbol on his forehead continued to shine brightly.
Like Ram's clairvoyance, Xiaolin also has the ability of [far-sightedness].
Not only that, eyes with the [Perspective] ability can see more clearly.
Originally, the ability of the eyes was used alone, that is to say, if you use [Far Sight], you cannot use the [Perspective] ability. However, as mental power increases, this limitation is easily solved.
This is the advantage of the Teigu. It pays more attention to mental power than physical ability. As long as it meets the standards, it can unleash greater potential.
That's too far.
"How strange, Liu Zi." Xiaolin looked at the elegant and quiet maid beside him and asked, "You actually care about Natsuki-kun's safety. It's really unlike you."
Although she is a bit narcissistic, in fact Liu Zi only cares about Xiao Lin.
This has a lot to do with her programming, so people like Aqua, Sato Kazuma, etc. don't care too much, let alone Subaru Natsuki, who is not so close to her.
"You misunderstood. I was afraid that he would die and I would have to conquer the White Whale again. That's all."
"Is that true?"
Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.
How could Liu Zi care about other people?
He sighed and said, "Don't worry, Natsuki-kun is a cockroach and won't die so easily."
I have to say, this metaphor is perfect.
It is true that a single Natsuki-kun is like a cockroach, and he will be burped after being lightly crushed.
But there is a saying that when you see one cockroach, the entire room has been occupied by cockroaches.
Therefore, Subaru Natsuki, who can be resurrected, is like a swarm of cockroaches, swarming forward one after another, causing trouble to the enemy even if he dies.
It's a little disgusting just thinking about it.
To be honest, this is one of the reasons why Xiaolin is happy to be friends with him.
After all, even someone as powerful as Reinhardt was defeated by Natsuki Subaru's countless reincarnations...even though it was a spiritual defeat.
There was no chance to sigh any further.
Under Kobayashi's [eyes] observation, Natsuki Subaru successfully made contact with the Witch Cult.
"Here we come, eight people in total."
"It's different from the number of people expected."
After hearing Liu Zi's words, Xiao Lin nodded after confirming it twice.
The Sloth Archbishop has ten "fingers", of course, not real fingers, but his minions, his minions, and the spare body that he possesses after each death.
In order to completely eradicate the lazy Archbishop, all his fingers must be wiped off to prevent him from possessing other people.
"I'll leave it to you, Liu Zi. Find all the fingers and kill them."
"As you command, Master Xiaolin."
Liu Zi bowed gracefully, then turned and entered the forest.
He was the only one who could let a cute and cute girl break into the dangerous forest alone.
"I'm really not a qualified master."
Xiao Lin scratched his head.
There is no need to worry too much about Liu Zi's safety. None of these "fingers" are any match for the doll girl.
Let’s focus on this.
At this time, Natsuki Subaru had arrived at the open rock, and in front of the rock cave there was a thin green-haired man waiting for the unknown visitor.
That person is the lazy Archbishop.
Xiaolin understood the moment he saw him and rushed to Natsuki Subaru's location.
Then, he barely caught up while Natsuki Subaru was in crisis.
"——Justice from heaven!"
Roaring loudly, it fell from the sky.
Taking advantage of the lazy Archbishop's unpreparedness, he stepped hard on his fragile lower back and stepped him into a pothole.
The huge impact shook the ground and kicked up a thin layer of sand, and you could hear the whimpering coming from underneath you.
This time, he was half disabled even if he was not dead.
After landing on the ground, Xiao Lin jumped up and jumped out of the pit.
Natsuki Subaru leaned forward, nervously poked his head into the hole, and blurted out: "Hey, hey, you couldn't have killed him in one go, Xiaolin?!"
He is not concerned about the safety of the lazy Archbishop.
Just because of the existence of the finger, he had to stay alive before completely removing the 'finger'.
"Don't worry, I've got a hold on you."
Xiao Lin patted him on the shoulder.
He did have a hand just now, and he hit it with an unknown force that could seriously injure him and cause him to fall into coma.
However, it seems that the lazy Archbishop is even weaker than Natsuki Subaru after using too much glue. I don’t know if he can stand up.
Fortunately——
"The brain is shaking!"
A strong contagious madness erupted from the pit, and then a pale hand stained with blood pressed on the edge of the pit, and then the Sloth Archbishop Petelgeuse's twisted and ferocious face was enough to scare a child. The face appeared in the sight of Xiaolin and Natsuki Subaru.
"Wow, that's really scary!"
Xiao Lin sighed.
In addition to talking about that scary face, it also alludes to its rough skin and thick flesh.
It didn't look like he was seriously injured.
It wasn't until Archbishop Lazy came out of the hole that he discovered the reason why he wasn't injured.
It turned out that 6 or 7 pairs of arms were wrapped around Petelgeuse's waist and abdomen, protecting him from injury.
Since the thrown arm had no time to return to defense, a few more arms were thrown out to protect. In other words, you did not use all your strength when attacking?
This is not to save one hand but to save several hands!
"——How, how, cruel!"
The thumb made a muffled sound and was bitten by the molars, and blood flowed from the corners of Petelgeuse's mouth.
In the hoarse whisper, the usual trembling tone and ecstatic mood disappeared. The hollow look in his eyes was creepy, and his heartbeat began to speed up involuntarily.
But after a brief period of depression, I saw him smiling calmly again.
"...Ah, that's it, it's really good. Yes, this is good. This, it's really good! Woohoo, not bad! Very good! Not bad, not bad, not bad, not - wrong -!"
The more he talked, the more his emotions rose.
He looks crazy enough to be called a madman.
Yes, another title for the lazy priest is madman.
There was only a wrong name, not a wrong title. Xiaolin and Natsuki Subaru had already figured out why he was called a madman.
Two people who are against the madman.
Natsuki Subaru asked in a low voice: "Xiaolin, can you see those hands with claws and teeth?"
"Of course, my [eyes] are very strong."
"Hahaha, that's really good news. I'll be relying on you next."
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Xiao Lin looked at the sky and the sun... This word is not appropriate, but in his eyes, it was the sky and the sun. Feeling the crisis, he slowly clenched his fist.
"he he he he he--"
Petelgeuse showed a disgusting and spine-chilling madness, inserted his fingers completely into his mouth, and then bit them into pieces one by one.
After biting off the tips of all ten fingers, his hands were covered with a horrifying amount of blood.
"That's great. I know! Come on, I'm going to take action! It's time to tell who is more worthy of pampering, me or you! To love, to love -!"
The lazy Archbishop kicked the ground with his toes, ignoring Kobayashi and declaring war on Natsuki Subaru.
However, Natsuki Subaru put on an expression that lacked fighting spirit, shrugged and said: "I see that you are very angry, but I'm sorry..."
"What's wrong?! Now! It's me! Starting this trial with love -!"
"Your opponent is me."
Xiaolin took the initiative to meet the emotional madman.
Upon hearing the answer, Petelgeuse's eyes widened. The moment he tried to ask, a huge aura came down from above his head.
A huge net enveloped his entire body.
However, Petelgeuse also reacted. Dozens of black arms held the net open, never allowing his territory to be occupied.
Xiaolin's hands kept swinging and contracting, and the black arm behind the Lazy Archbishop kept exerting force, and then it inexplicably turned into a tug-of-war.
But gradually the balance was broken.
"My love! My love! My love! Never allow to be restrained, never! Never! Never! Never! Never! The brain is, shaking!!!"
The madman's expression became more and more distorted, and his movements of biting his fingers became more rough.
Injuring yourself in this way will result in a greater rebound. Soon, with the forceful tearing of more than a dozen arms, the net made by Xiaolin's silk threads was destroyed, and Archbishop Lazy escaped from it.
Sure enough, it still doesn’t work?
His artifact thread is very strong, but its shortcoming is that it needs to grow, and it seems to be stretched when facing more powerful weapons and skills.
"These arms, don't you think they're a bit harp-like?"
"……Aha?"
Hearing Xiaolin's words, Natsuki Subaru was stunned for a second.
I never expected to hear such an out-of-touch sentence at such a nervous time, and it came from Xiao Lin's mouth.
Shouldn't it be done by oneself when making fun of and making fun of people like this?
"Look. These arms look a lot like tentacles, and they are even more dexterous than tentacles. With the help of these arms, the girl will experience the pleasure from all over the body in an instant, and it will definitely be easy. It will be captured."
"Is now the time to talk about this?!"
Natsuki Subaru complained excitedly.
But he soon relaxed again.
Xiaolin was so relaxed now, so he must have a way to deal with Petelgeuse, so he just hugged his thighs and watched the show on the sidelines without causing any trouble.
"Okay, I get it, okay, I get it! It's you who's blocking me! Faced with so much favor from me, you still have to fight! It's you who's blocking me, blocking my love, blocking my Trial...I will break through! I will definitely break through!"
The moment Petelgeus finished speaking, a large number of arms came from the shadows.
The crazy words just now were just a bait to attract attention, and the arm that dodges in the dark is the real killing move!
However--
"You really can't learn well."
Xiaolin chuckled.
The silk thread hung down from the finger and soon transformed into a silver sword.
The long sword in his hand was swung out, and his body began to dodge back and forth, blocking all attacks.
"you you……!"
"Already know? Unfortunately, my eyes are also very special."
A contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
The [Invisible Hand] is indeed very strong, but just like in the anime or manga, where everyone shows off his ability but can crack it no matter who he is, Petelgeuse also fell into such an embarrassing situation.
Unlike ordinary people who would be ashamed, the Sloth Archbishop was even more irritated. The speed of waving his arms increased, and the angles became more cunning.
Unfortunately, all the efforts were in vain, and all the attacks were intercepted by Xiao Lin.
"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da, all your attacks are useless to me."
From being a little fussy at the beginning, to finally using his eyes to see through all the attacks and becoming more comfortable with it, the whole process only took a few minutes.
"My love, my love...my love will never be so shallow! Love! Love! Love! Love! My love! The brain is trembling!!!"
Petelgeuse put his head in his hands and shook his body back and forth, obviously unable to accept the current situation.
Of all the Archbishops of Sin in existence, the Archbishop of Sloth is probably the weakest.
The tricky thing is that the first sight kill can be easily killed without knowing its abilities. But once you know his abilities, you can easily counterattack, just like now.
The stiff and lazy Archbishop fell into madness and did not notice anything was wrong at all. Until time gradually passed, an elegant figure quietly appeared on the battlefield.
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up after seeing her.
I'm waiting for you. What are you waiting for?
"Hey, Archbishop Lazy, I'm tired of seeing your arms. If you have any other tricks, feel free to use them."
"How dare you taint my love! My love, my love, my love! Love love love!...Okay, then let me show you what I am capable of!"
The provoked Sloth Archbishop, after going mad, opened his arms and shouted:
"Come out, my fingers!"
--silence.
His call went unanswered.
Except for the rock they were on, the forest was completely silent.
"My finger... finger! Finger? Finger! Finger?"
Petelgeus, who seemed to have thought of something, fell into chaos again. After going crazy, he pointed at them with his bloody fingers and shouted: "How, how cruel...! Kill my fingers!" Cruel, cruel, cruel! The brain is shaking!"
"Is there nothing else? Then, go to hell!" Xiao Lin placed the silver sword transformed into silk threads horizontally on his chest.
Then--
As if crossing time and space, Xiao Lin's figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had arrived at Petelgeuse. At the same time, a head shot up into the sky, and the bright red spurt slowly moved forward after a few seconds. Thrown to the ground.
"Seriously, you're easier to fight than a white whale."
Looking at the lifeless corpse, he curled his lips and gave the lowest comment.
"Did it?"
After blurting out, Natsuki Subaru hurriedly covered his mouth. This kind of flag must not be planted randomly, otherwise it will come true later.
"No, there's still one last step left."
Xiaolin looked at Natsuki Subaru, who swallowed his saliva and seemed very nervous.
Although they had successfully killed the Archbishop of Sin, they did not enter the stage of cheering for victory. The two (three) people just stood there silently.
Soon, Natsuki Subaru's face began to twist unnaturally.
"It's coming! It's really coming!"
——Reliance.
This is the key ability for the Sloth Archbishop to be reborn in other "fingers". Unfortunately, Subaru Natsuki was chosen as his support.
But it’s easy to expel.
Buzz——
A blue light bloomed from Natsuki Subaru's chest.
——Get out of here!
Even though there was no sound, the voice of some stupid goddess appeared in Xiaolin's mind.
That's right, in order to prevent Natsuki Subaru from being controlled by possession, he temporarily lent Natsuki Subaru the necklace given by Aqua, and the result was obvious.
Any dark breath will be resisted by the pure water goddess, and the polluted Sin Priest Petelgeuse is no exception. He was quickly squeezed out of Natsuki Subaru's body.
However, what people didn't expect was that Petelgeuse approached Xiao Lin again.
"Oh ho, instead of turning around and running away, are you coming towards me?"
The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth raised, with a wicked smile.
Well, in that case, I have to give you a ride.
The moment he felt something strange, he clasped his hands together and used magic that contained the aura of the goddess of water.
——Purify!
"Ahhh! My love! Love, love, love, love! My love!!!"
There was a silent and crazy roar in his ears, full of unwillingness and resentment, and crazy obsession deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But it quickly disappeared again.
At this moment, the lazy Archbishop was completely dead.
