Matans Shooter 604

Ha! Is it that gunslinger again? How persistently annoying- huh? Bluebeard, having retrieved his staff, clicked his tongue but was suddenly taken aback.

Molting?

He had thought lizardia was dead, only to find that what had fallen to the ground was merely a shell in lizardias shape.

Ha! Did he molt in the meantime?

What Biyemi had obtained from the Serpentine paleon tribe wasnt just acidic venom.

She had also learned another secret technique that utilized lizardias racial traits.

Bluebeard couldnt help but burst into laughter, kicking at Biyemis shed skin on the ground.

He knew all too well how futile it was to chase a chameleon in the darkness.

You said your name was Chiyou.

Its my first time meeting you, Count, despite these circumstances.

Chiyou maintained her composure despite the extreme pain she was in.

Ah, its hard to say were meeting with me looking like this.

It was her first chance to converse with Bluebeard. She was prepared to face death for this opportunity.

Curse that damn chameleon. Cant see a thing.

What expression was Bluebeard wearing? How would he view her act of protecting the jar?

She wanted to check, but it was hard to find a way.

Despite consuming a huge amount of healing potions, her vision remained dark and didnt clear up.

Her vision wasnt just dimming due to fatigue; Biyemis acidic venom had completely destroyed her eyes.

Making such a greeting despite your eyes being ruined? You have more guts than most men.

Thank you, I appre- Ah?!

Whoooosh!

As soon as Bluebeards hand touched Chiyous face, the corrosion and poisoning effects of the acidic venom stopped.

Her dead eyes did not return to life, but it was still a gesture of goodwill.

Chiyou felt unexpectedly good about Bluebeards excessive friendliness.

Thank you, Count.

No, I should thank you. Even in this situation, you protected it. Let me check the others first.

That was all Chiyou heard.

With a whoosh, she could no longer sense any presence of Bluebeard.

[Where are you, you bastard!]

All that echoed was the roar of the dinosaur that stirred up the entire fortress.

The cry, as if to tear down the fortress, vibrated through the air, resonating for a long time.

So noisy, you pathetic creature.

[My Lord, the Count.]

Though the figure was as small as Toons eyeballs, Bluebeards words were enough to shut Toon up.

tsk tsk to think you couldnt prepare for even this.

[Im sorry.]

Toon bowed deeply, almost touching the ground with his head, in apology.

Bluebeard didnt spare Toon a glance, instead surveying the devastated fortress.

Igor and Faust twitched every time their eyes met with Bluebeards, but they were too busy hiding their own forms, indicating they had not fully grasped the situation.

That woman must have a hard time leading these fools Are they still on about that? The gunslinger has been gone for a long time.

You are the first to register this achievement.

The first three registrants of the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and the original effects will be increased by 200%.

Effects: Strength +14, Agility +14, Intelligence +14, Holy Resistance +20%

This space has never been visited by any user.

Even blinded, Chiyou suppressed a laugh as she viewed the system window.

Demons Core, indeed And 20 years at that. This place is certainly-

Ordered by Bluebeard, why did Toon collect souls?

Chiyou had a vague idea of his purpose, and naturally, she had predicted their current location as well.

[This place is!]

Ah, yes, Toon. Its been a while since weve seen this guy.

Toon stared ahead with wide eyes.

Despite clearly being underground, a corner of the spacious area, large enough to accommodate Toons massive physique, housed a bright red crystal attracting the gaze like that of a dinosaur.

[Yes.]

Chiyou found the situation unbearable.

Judging by Toons low voice, definitely one of those things was in front of her!

Damned lizard! Did Bluebeard bring me here just to torment me? Shouldnt you let me know whats going on too!

She felt so frustrated that she wanted to stomp her feet, but Chiyou maintained her composure as much as possible. Right now, the most important thing was to make her presence felt.

Chiyou did not want to ruin her image by asking frivolous questions during her first meeting with Bluebeard.

Lets wake this guy up first.

[But the number of souls-]

Its fine, its fine. He was always a glutton, wasnt he? Having thirty, forty thousand souls should be enough to open his eyes a bit. Though fully regaining consciousness might take a bit longer

[-Understood. Chiyou, the jar.]

Yes,

Chiyou carefully set down the jar she had been clutching. Bluebeard looked at her fondly and nodded.

Silent, I like that. Not like that idiot Faust.

Thank you.

But theres a difference between keeping quiet because you know something and having nothing to say because youre ignorant. Do you know where you are? Suddenly, Bluebeard, who had been conversing with Toon, threw a question at Chiyou.

She knew this must be some kind of test. Why else would she have been so quiet up till now if not to answer this moment? Yes.

Hah, you know?

I cant see right now, so Im not exactly sure, but I guess its one of two places.

Ha-ha-ha! Good. Wait here. Toon, do your job.

[Understood, Count.]

Moments later, Chiyou could hear the gurgling effect sound from Toon.

The task must surely be to extract all the souls within.

Toon said without the jar, the souls wouldnt last more than 3 hours.

The jars for housing souls arent something you can just find anywhere in the Old Continent.

Even Chiyou, who had managed to acquire one from the royal palaces treasury after roasting Miniss magi squad, knew it was difficult to obtain more.

Neither Toon nor Bluebeard could be unaware of its rarity.

Meaning, even if a wave came, keeping more than 20,000 souls would be difficult.

So is that why try now?

What was that try?

Chiyou waited quietly. Bluebeard, who had completely vanished, was suddenly in front of her again.
