At this moment, Arcueid was standing in front of a young boy, who was imprisoned in an iron cage, his hands and feet bound by chains, making him look extremely miserable.
However, when facing Arcueid, this boy revealed a smile.
“Oh, I really didn’t expect to meet you here, Princess.”
Because of Arcueid's arrival, Roa's consciousness within Shiki Tohno awakened. He looked at Arcueid, revealing a provocative smile.
“Has Your Highness come to send me to reincarnation again?”
“No, Roa, this time I haven’t come to send you to reincarnation.”
Arcueid really wanted to kill Roa directly, but while she was extremely excited, she didn't immediately act. Instead, she turned her head to look at Wang Xiaoming.
“Mr. Xiaoming, please lend it to me.”
“Here.”
Wang Xiaoming threw the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception glasses directly to Arcueid. Arcueid caught them, then immediately put them on, and then looked down at Roa, grinning, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
“I’ve come to say goodbye to you forever.”
“Huh?”
Roa frowned in confusion, then a claw magnified in his eyes.
657. Akiha Tohno Instantly Killed
Roa had been reincarnated seventeen times, each time constantly changing. In essence, he was indeed getting stronger with each reincarnation. In the future, he might even be able to comprehend the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, after all, he had died so many times.
But unfortunately, reincarnating into Shiki Tohno was his last chance. His original fate was also to be killed by Shiki Tohno using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception this time.
And now, Shiki Tohno's part has been directly erased by Wang Xiaoming, leaving only his unawakened Nanaya Assassination Technique. But now, even if he still has the Nanaya Assassination Technique, he is just an ordinary person, belonging to the level of an ordinary warrior, unable to reach a higher level.
Therefore, Shiki's death, no one can stop it.
Shiki Tohno, this person who had been going mad since birth because of the inhuman blood in his body, under the gaze of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, died forever.
Shiki Tohno's death, for the Tohno family, actually did not have much impact, because, Akiha Tohno's feelings for Shiki Tohno were not very deep. From childhood, he had been constantly attacking the people around him because of the inversion impulse. Akiha was attacked, Shiki was killed, Kohaku was abused, and even now Shiki Tohno is alive, it is only through stealing Shiki Tohno's life that he is alive.
For everyone in the entire Tohno family, Shiki Tohno's existence is more harmful than beneficial.
So, Shiki Tohno's death, for the Tohno family, can be said to be a very good thing.
After Arcueid killed Shiki Tohno, she looked at Shiki Tohno's body, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around, took off the glasses and handed them to Wang Xiaoming.
According to the previous agreement, Wang Xiaoming lent her the glasses to kill Roa, and after killing Roa, she returned the glasses to Wang Xiaoming.
“With this, everything is over.”
Looking at Wang Xiaoming taking back the glasses, Arcueid's face was filled with a relieved smile.
“Where do you plan to go next?”
“Well, if there is nothing else, I want to return to the Millennium Castle, because I have nothing else to do outside.”
“Indeed, your current task outside is to solve Roa. Now that Roa has been solved, you don’t need to stay outside anymore.”
Wang Xiaoming nodded. This was something Arcueid would do, sleeping in the Millennium Castle when she had nothing to do.
“But wouldn’t that be too lonely and boring?”
Wang Xiaoming extended his right hand to Arcueid.
“Let me introduce myself, I am a traveler, traveling with my head maid. Would you like to become my companion in this world's journey?”
This world does not have things like Heroic Spirits and Holy Grails, so Wang Xiaoming doesn't need to throw out his Arthur King persona. It's perfectly fine to directly say that he is a traveler.
“Travel?”
“That’s right, I am traveling, and by the way, I want to study some magical miracles in this world, such as the legendary Twenty-Seven Ancestors.”
In fact, the main harvest of this world has already been taken by Wang Xiaoming. The next journey, for Wang Xiaoming, is more like collecting some usable materials.
That’s right, it is collecting materials, just like the fruit of the Son of the Forest of Einnashe, which was a very good material for Wang Xiaoming. It can be used to do a lot of research, and it can also be used to directly create a vampire.
Of course, in addition to the Forest of Einnashe, Wang Xiaoming also wants to see the remaining Twenty-Seven Ancestors, to see what abilities these Ancestors have, or rather, what materials they can give Wang Xiaoming.
That’s right, this is a material dungeon. The Type-Moon world is a world that pays great attention to concepts. The expressiveness may not be so exaggerated, but in terms of concept setting, the Type-Moon world is definitely very strong. Those materials may be used to make many things.
“So, do you want to travel with us?”
“This…”
“There’s only you left in the Millennium Castle, right? You have completed your duty. Instead of sleeping alone in the Millennium Castle, why not travel with us? At least the scenery along the way will give you a different experience.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll travel with you!”
Arcueid was moved by Wang Xiaoming. Just as Wang Xiaoming said, the Millennium Castle, which was originally full of True Ancestors, has now been killed by Arcueid. There is only Arcueid alone in the entire Millennium Castle. Even if she goes in, she will only sleep alone, and that place is also a sad place for Arcueid, after all, all the True Ancestors there were killed by her alone. If she returns there, even if she has killed Roa, she will still feel sad when she goes back there.
So, if possible, she also hopes to change her mood.
Just like that, Arcueid agreed to join Wang Xiaoming's team.
However, when they joined the team, the people of the Tohno family above had not stopped their actions.
“You bastards! Don’t talk nonsense in my house!”
Akiha Tohno, who had been slapped away by Arcueid before, came back, her red hair exploding, looking like an angry lion, jumping down directly and pouncing on Arcueid.
However, because Wang Xiaoming was blocking in front, this looked like she was pouncing on Wang Xiaoming.
Leticia stood beside Wang Xiaoming. Seeing Akiha Tohno pouncing over like this, she launched an attack without hesitation. The Remnants of the Dragon instantly struck, transforming into three black shadows, cutting towards Akiha Tohno from three directions.
Akiha discovered these three black shadows appearing in the dark and instinctively felt very dangerous, immediately using her hands to block, but her arms could not block the Remnants of the Dragon at all. Instantly, both of her arms were cut off at the roots.
“Nani!”
Even if Akiha was impulsive, she has now calmed down. The demonification power greatly strengthened her body. Even if she was slapped away by Arcueid, she did not receive too much damage. This ensured that she could still launch an attack on Arcueid now, but she never expected that Arcueid did not act, and she was directly and easily cut off her hands by the black shadow attack launched by who knows who.
But this was just the beginning. At the same time as the two arms were cut off, the third Remnant of the Dragon also cut over, this time directly towards her chest.
The target is the heart!
The fear of death made Akiha miraculously move her body in this instant, forcibly dodging this attack, and the price was that a huge wound appeared on her shoulder, blood flowing straight down. Coupled with the huge wounds of her previously severed hands, blood flowed out as if it didn't cost money.
Akiha Tohno, the current head of the Tohno family, one of the four great demon-exorcising families, was instantly defeated!
Chaos
Tohno Akiha's defeat led the Tohno family to directly abandon their attacks on Wang Xiaoming and his group.
Tohno Shiki wanted to avenge Akiha and fight Wang Xiaoming and the others, but Kohaku held him back firmly.
"If Master Shiki, you go and fight them now, Miss Akiha will really die. At least Miss Akiha is still alive now. As long as she is treated in time, she still has a chance to live. Do you want your recklessness to cause Miss Akiha's death!"
Kohaku scolded him, and Tohno Shiki had to give up his desire to fight Wang Xiaoming and the others because he wanted to save Akiha. Although Akiha's hands were severed and there was a huge wound on her shoulder, she was at least not dead yet, and if treated in time, she really could survive.
Thus, Wang Xiaoming and his two companions walked directly out of the Tohno family's mansion through the main entrance, without any attempt at obstruction from the Tohno family.
It was a joke. If they tried to stop them, the head of the Tohno family would die, and the Tohno family would be directly destroyed.
Of the four great families of exorcists, the Nanaya family was already gone. If the Tohno family were also gone, the remaining two families would be laughing like crazy. After all, the loss of two families meant the loss of two competitors, and they would make a killing.
Therefore, with the Tohno family's active concession, Wang Xiaoming and his companions left the Tohno family.
As for how the Tohno family would handle their internal affairs afterward, that was no longer Wang Xiaoming's concern.
Although in Tsukihime, the Tohno family were all main characters, and even the protagonist, Tohno Shiki, had several routes that involved internal members of the Tohno family, such as Tohno Akiha, as well as Kohaku and Hisui.
But that had nothing to do with Wang Xiaoming. The entire Type-Moon world was full of tragedies, or rather, most people involved with magic were tragic. They gained a different status because of magic, but they also became alienated from happiness because of the power of magic, because the power of the mysterious drove them to pursue more, which led them to sacrifice more for more, even their own family members could be sacrificed.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming couldn't save the tragedy of magic families. There were too many such tragedies in the Type-Moon world, and it was really not up to Wang Xiaoming alone to save them.
After Wang Xiaoming left the Tohno family with Arcueid, he began to think about where to go next.
Wang Xiaoming's goal was the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. He wanted to see the power of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors. If they had a good attitude and were willing to cooperate with him, then there would be no problem discussing and researching with them. If they had a bad attitude and were unwilling to cooperate with him, then it was not impossible for him to accidentally kill them, right?
So, which of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors should he start with?
"Nero!"
Arcueid gave her opinion.
"Nero Chaos. I heard that guy is also in this city. Like Roa, he is not a good person. Originally, I planned to get rid of him before getting rid of Roa."
Nero Chaos, one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. Unlike Roa, Nero did not become a Dead Apostle by being bitten by a vampire, but used the power of magic to become a Dead Apostle through research, which was very powerful.
He used magic to give himself the power of a Dead Apostle, immortal. After becoming an immortal Dead Apostle, he used magic to create a small bounded field, "The Beast's Lair," inside his body.
Inside this Beast's Lair, there were 666 beast factors hidden. No physical or magical damage could kill him, unless it was the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a terrifying ability that could directly cause death, or possessed the power to kill those 666 beast factors in an instant.
His original personality had become diluted, so Nero Chaos was no longer an individual, but a group of hundreds of beasts.
In the original story, he was also killed by Tohno Shiki using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Now, although Tohno Shiki was gone, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception still existed, and killing him was still not a problem.
Even without the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, it was very easy for Wang Xiaoming to kill the 666 beast factors in his body. He only needed to release Excalibur once to easily kill them.
"Since you suggest finding this Nero Chaos first, then let's start with him."
Originally, Wang Xiaoming was preparing to set off for Europe, but now that an Ancestor had come to Japan, then he would just start from Japan.
"Do you know where that Nero is in this city?"
"I don't know."
Wang Xiaoming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Is that so? Then I'll ask. Although I can't know the exact address, I can still find out the direction. Please wait a moment."
Having solved Roa and joined Wang Xiaoming's team, Arcueid was now very cheerful. She smiled, closed her eyes, and began to ask the world, and soon received an answer from the world.
"In the northwest direction of this city, roughly in that area."
Arcueid told Wang Xiaoming the information she had obtained from the world. Wang Xiaoming smiled and shook his head.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome."
"Hmm? Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know where he is, but I know that he will come to me."
Wang Xiaoming didn't need to know where people were to find them. He only needed to know where he was.
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"You'll understand soon."
Wang Xiaoming waved his hand at Arcueid and took Arcueid out of the city together.
Although it was simple to let Nero come to him, once Nero released those monsters in his body, the impact on the surrounding area would be relatively large, so Wang Xiaoming wanted to find an open place before letting the other party come to him.
Taking Arcueid, Wang Xiaoming went directly out of the city, stood outside the city, and then summoned Estel in front of Arcueid.
Holding the Holy Sword in his right hand, he waved it in the direction of the city.
"Nero Chaos, catch!"
Nero's given name did not have the surname Chaos, but after he became a Dead Apostle, the Church gave him the surname Chaos, and Nero did not refuse after knowing this, but acknowledged the surname, so there was no problem in calling him Nero Chaos.
As long as it was a name he himself acknowledged, then that name could be applied to him, and the ability of [100% Catch a Sword Barehanded] could be activated!
With a swing of the sword, a black figure quickly flew out of the city and came directly in front of Wang Xiaoming, kneeling on both knees, palms together, and catching the sword.
Nero Chaos, summoning complete.
Nero Chaos, one of the legendary Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, was staring wide-eyed, looking up at Wang Xiaoming.
Who is it? Where is this? What's going on?
Several question marks appeared in Nero's mind.
But no matter which question mark it was, he understood that he had been controlled by someone, pulled directly from the city to here, and even controlled to kneel on the ground.
As an Ancestor among the Dead Apostles, Nero had experienced many battles. After confirming that he had been attacked and controlled, he didn't say a word and immediately launched an attack.
The Beast's Lair!
Although Nero couldn't move with his hands clasped together, his bounded field was still successfully activated.
The Beast's Lair immediately began to split into giant beasts to attack Wang Xiaoming.
