Chapter 338 Sneak Attack
The moment the stone door was opened, Grand Duke Stuart could clearly feel that the direction leading to this secret passage was a completely independent space different from Xinlan!
The rules that Xinlan exists under cannot interfere with its internal affairs, so there is no possibility of being found. This made him squint his eyes, and he already knew in his heart that this was the refuge left by the Stuart family.
"Lead the way."
Driven by his cold voice, Descente continued to limp ahead. The Archduke did not seem to be in a hurry. He seemed to be constantly sensing the geological rules of this safe house. The journey that would normally take him less than half a minute took him more than half an hour before he finally arrived at the open room.
When one foot stepped on the soft and luxurious cashmere carpet, Grand Duke Stuart had completely mastered all objects that touched the ground in this independent small space.
He just waved at the air, and in the deep corridor facing the entrance of the safe house, the doors of two rooms suddenly opened. Then, a bed and a sofa chair floated in front of him from the room as if sliding on smooth ice.
There was a dried-up corpse lying on the bed, with a dagger inlaid with gems inserted into the chest. Blood stains that had turned black and red were splattered all over the bed. The old man had never thought that he would be treated like this until his death, and his face maintained an expression of disbelief.
There was also an old woman lying on the sofa. She was not dead yet. Her chest was heaving and her heart was obviously beating and she was breathing.
It was obvious that her body could only maintain this state of breathing in less than breathing out, and her dull eyes seemed to have long lost all other physiological functions.
Looking at his nominal parents, Grand Duke Stuart showed no pity on his face. Instead, he smiled, a smile that was extremely sarcastic.
"What happened to them?"
Descente raised his head tremblingly and recounted in detail everything that had happened here.
The Grand Duke, who was already sitting relaxed on the sofa, listened calmly to the conflict between the old people about escaping, and then the old woman killed her husband with her own hands. Finally, she hid in this closed space for a long time. Her mental state became more and more extreme, and she showed crazy self-mutilation behavior until she became what she is now.
Archduke Stuart was not surprised nor had any doubts about this result or the events that took place in between.
Because that's exactly what these two idiots would do.
At the beginning, they were willing to sell out the entire Stuart family for a little profit. After their fake son really came to power, he did not know how to restrain himself. He jumped up and down all day long, constantly showing off his presence.
Now that he has really lured all the people from Green Day and the Alliance here, some of them have actually changed their minds and want to go back and negotiate with him?
Ha ha.
Grand Duke Stuart leaned back on the sofa, looking at the dying old woman. His mind flashed back to when he was seven years old and was first brought to the high and mighty Stuart family. The way she looked when she saw him appeared in his mind.
To him at that time, even a poor member of the Stuart family was such a noble existence. He could only kneel at the other's feet and wag his tail to beg for mercy like a puppy.
Even though so many years had passed, the impression left on the Archduke by their first meeting that day was still so profound that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
Precisely because he still remembered this incident in his heart, he had always been quite indifferent to his nominal parents.
After he truly accepted the title of the Stuart family and obtained the power of the Chosen One, he never met these two old men again, as if they had nothing to do with each other from the beginning to the end.
And it was not until today, at this moment, after so many years, that he had the opportunity and time to re-examine the old woman who had become so haggard that she was no longer recognizable.
He stood up from the sofa, walked to the old woman, and finally no longer had that sarcastic smile on his face. Instead, he stretched out his hand with emotion and remembrance and placed it on the old woman's head.
"We must always put the past to rest. Thank you for helping me so much. I fully admit that if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to sit in this position today. In this case, please help me one last time today, and then just die quietly and honestly."
The moment he finished speaking, no one could see how much force he was exerting with his hands. The next second, the old woman, who had originally had a dull look in her eyes, seemed to regain her clarity for a moment.
With her eyes wide open and her mouth open, she stared in horror behind Grand Duke Stuart, as if she wanted to make some sound!
But before her vocal cords could fully exert their function of making sounds, the force transmitted from above her head completely broke her neck, instantly cutting off all life from her and making her unable to make any sound anymore.
Stuart stared at her face which was finally fixed in fear, and finally her body fell weakly to her knees in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh softly.
"it's over"
However, just as he was expressing this emotion, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his chest! A sharp object suddenly pierced his heart, and the black tip of the knife came out of his chest, soaked in blood!
The pupils of Archduke Stuart shrank into a point in an instant. He looked down at the bloody tip of the knife, then turned back to look at the young man who attacked him from behind!
Descente, who had been terrified and respectful in front of him, no different from an ant, suddenly became suspended in the air!
His feet left the ground, and after they left the ground, the movement of moving could no longer appear in the Grand Duke's perception!
At this moment, he held a jet-black straight knife in his hand, and there was no longer the fear and timidity in his eyes as before, only a faint excitement!
Yes, when the knife was inserted into his chest, Levi felt only joy in his heart!
The gravitational control that was temporarily elevated to the ultimate level was released without reservation!
In this safe room which was a separate space, gravity was strengthened countless times. The luxurious furniture around it turned into tiny fragments in an instant. In addition to the original regular structure maintaining the most basic existence of the space, all other objects in the entire safe room were squeezed to the ground at this moment. The gaps between molecules were almost compressed to the extreme!
Archbishop Stuart, who was stabbed in the heart, was the center of this force.
He couldn't control his fall, as if he was crushed by a thousand-pound boulder, and his body dripped to the ground!
However, the illusion in Levi's hand did not fall with his body, but as his arm exerted force, it cut vertically upwards in the opposite direction!
"puff!"
The sound of flesh being cut by a sharp blade was extremely clear, and the blood gushing out from the broken blood vessels was almost instantly squeezed to the ground. The extreme high pressure caused the hydrogen-oxygen bonds formed by the water in the blood to break, turning them into blood-colored, high-density solid ice crystals!
The Grand Duke's heart was cut open, and his upper body, which had been completely cut open, fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise like a meteorite falling to the ground!
All this happened so suddenly that Grand Duke Stuart had no time to react.
The thing that made him most confident and at ease was that no matter how the Alliance and Green Day fought, he was the only chosen one in the entire Shinran!
And for those chosen by God, he is the real God!
An unshakable and irresistible God!
Therefore, he did not take any precautions from the beginning to the end, nor did he have any warning in his heart, not to mention how deceptive the appearance of this "Descente" was!
Even now, he couldn't imagine when Shinichi and Ran would infiltrate another Chosen One.
The vast majority of cities in the Western Region are controlled by any family that holds the power of the Chosen One. Because of this, except for some special gatherings, these cities all follow the tradition of kings not meeting each other!
Each Chosen One has extremely high control over the city he or she is in. The entry of any Chosen One will attract their attention. Even if the other party does not use force, the interweaving of rules will still make people alert in advance.
But Grand Duke Stuart never noticed any abnormal behavior in Xinlan's gravitational authority from beginning to end. Only at this moment, that chosen authority was fully revealed!
But Levi has never used the temporary level-up effect, because he cannot react in time!
Because of the experience of killing Xin Guohong in the academy before, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to kill the Chosen One. Chi Qing was able to survive after having his heart stabbed through, and Xin Guohong was still conscious even after his head was almost chopped off. This was enough to prove that once one had reached the level of the Chosen One, even if the rules he had mastered had nothing to do with biology, his own physical strength had completely surpassed the limits of all living things and reached an unprecedented level!
Therefore, at the moment when Archduke Stuart's body, which would have killed an ordinary person, fell to the ground, Levi moved extremely quickly. He took out a revolver with a Z-shaped lightning handle from his arms and held it in his palm!
At this time, only two or three months had passed since Levi shot and killed Jiang Li in the center. The energy inside Gungnir was far less than last time, and it was almost formed into the shape of a bullet. Now, the only bullet with light in the cylinder had one-third of its tail missing.
Energy of this intensity cannot kill a Chosen One in normal conditions.
But the current Grand Duke Stuart is not in any normal state at all!
The moment he pulled out the gun and pointed it at the Grand Duke on the ground, Levi pulled the trigger without hesitation!
A dazzling beam of light, which seemed capable of blinding an ordinary person's eyes, shot out. The moment the energy poured out of the barrel, the force that had been condensed to the limit had already impacted the broken body of Grand Duke Stuart!
After the light energy from the gun was released, Levi seemed to have noticed something. He stomped his foot suddenly, and the ground that had been compacted long ago shattered like fragile glass, revealing a bloody figure!
Levi grabbed the figure's still intact leg, which was no different from that of the Chosen One. Even with the blessing of biology, his physical fitness was even better than that of the ordinary Chosen One, allowing his strength to surpass that of the Grand Duke who had been pampered for many years and had never undergone any physical exercise.
With a sudden force on his arms, Archduke Stuart, who had originally merged into the mud on the ground and was trying to escape, was pulled out again!
The shattered flesh was thrown back to the ground, and the left half of the body had completely disappeared!
At the broken part of the body, there was a neat cross-section, and only half of the heart was left, but it was still beating. However, it was like a water pump with a cut pipe. The blood that was being pumped out at an accelerated speed could only be wasted on the ground and could not supply the needs of life!
In addition, all the other organs and tissues in the Grand Duke's body were exposed. Countless pressures were bound on him. His eyes were wide open with anger, as if they were about to tear his eye sockets apart. He stared at Levi, who was pinching his throat with one hand.
"Who are you!! Who! Are! You! Exactly! Are! You!!!"
Levi simply stabbed the half of his heart again and turned the blade hard, trying to crush it completely!
"Kill your people!"
At this moment, the safe room, which was no longer recognizable from its previous appearance, began to shake violently as it was empty and looked like a huge abandoned cave!
Under Levi's knife, Grand Duke Stuart, with a desperate attitude, completely exerted his control over this land. However, this space, which was influenced by rules and composed of rules, was only so large. His authority could not extend to the void and chaos of the barrier. The impact caused could only be to completely tear up the existing rules, causing this place to fall into chaos and disorder, dragging Levi down with it!
However, before he could really do that, the knife in Levi's hand completely crushed his heart and cut his body in half from the chest, completely separating him!
Anger, resentment, hatred, those emotions finally froze in the Grand Duke's eyes, and all turned into a hollow dead ashes.
His death was extremely frustrating. Not only did he not know who the other party was from beginning to end, he also did not display his full potential!
The world that was originally collapsing stopped shaking at this time, and everything became quiet.
A task completed prompt suddenly popped up in the player information in Levi's mind.
