Chapter 400: Ugly Jealousy
Envy didn't possess any outstanding abilities, except for his huge size.
Su Xiao and Envy's battle was more like a one-sided beating.
Its large size only weakened it. Su Xiao just needed to chop it down, and he could do it without any problems.
Five minutes later, a large number of limbs were scattered on the ground, but they gradually turned into ashes.
— Impossible, you're an alchemist, how can you wield a sword so well... - Envy was gradually dying. Only one head remained of its huge body.
— I didn't expect you to be more resilient than Greed, " Su Xiao stood in front of the head of Envy and waited for the moment when he would try to recover again.
— Let's make a deal, " Envy knew that if this continued, he would die.
But what answered Envy wasn't words, but the sharp edge of a sword.
Su Xiao wasn't going to waste any time on this homunculus.
Although the original plot had no holes and could move forward without outside help, it would take up too much time, and Su Xiao only had a month to spare.
One ally had already joined in on his adventure, and where there was one, there was another.
— It's a shame, I, Envy, have lost to a human — Envy has returned to its human form. The energy in his philosopher's Stone was no longer enough to maintain his true form.
The blade of the sword pierced Envy's neck. It twitched a couple of times before turning to ash.
However, the kill notification didn't appear, and his Philosopher's Stone wasn't destroyed either.
A creature about the size of a palm began to slowly crawl away from the ashes. It was dark green in color, had eight legs and one large eye.
It was similar to the true Envy body, but it was very small.
Here's what Envy actually looked like.
— Hey, Envy, " Su Xiao squatted down and looked at the strange creature.
— You, what do you want to do?
Su Xiao grabbed Envy with one hand and smiled.
— Let me go, you bastard!
— Su Xiao stiffened his arm a little.
— Ah! Let me go, please forgive me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Envy, who had been so arrogant before, at this moment, tearfully begged for his life.
Su Xiao ignored him and took out a glass bottle.
— Hey, what are you gonna do, you don't want to...
Envy had correctly understood Su Xiao's intentions.
He calmly stuffed the little creature into a glass bottle...
— I won't forgive you... But Envy stopped talking when he saw Su Xiao looking at him coldly.
— I'll ask you one question — where are the Philosopher's Stones kept?
— Hey, you greedy man, don't think I'll betray you... Envy's body suddenly began to tremble. "Wait, what is this clear liquid? This... Don't, don't be like that. Calm down, come on, A-A-A-A-A-A-A! Envy started shouting like a slaughtered pig because Su Xiao added some sulfuric acid to his bottle.
After waiting for a moment, Su Xiao tapped on the glass bottle.
— Remembered?
— Remembered... I remembered! Envy's body was shaking, and his flesh was corroded and looked terrible, but it was slowly healing.
— I will kindly remind you that every time you lie to me, I will pour sulfuric acid into your bottle.
Envy looked at the man carefully, trembling. Now, he finally realized that the most terrifying ones weren't homunculi, but humans.
— There are secret passageways under Central, where there are a huge number of Philosopher's Stones.
Just as Envy finished speaking, he saw Su Xiao take out another bottle of liquid.
— I'm not lying, what the fuck are you doing, A-A-A-A-A-A!!!
The sulfuric acid completely covered Envy's body. After waiting for a while, Su Xiao poured it out.
Under the city, in addition to the Father himself, there were a huge number of his henchmen. Envy's intentions were too obvious.
— Do you want to die quickly or not? Su Xiao took out another bottle of the same liquid, then shook it.
Goosebumps ran through Envy's body.
— I can tell you where the Philosopher's Stones are, but after you get them, you'll have to let me go.
— Let you go? Do you really think I'll let you go?
Envy looked down. — I don't believe it.
— Then don't stall for time and I'll grant you a quick death in return.
— The third lab, " Envy quickly told him about how it could be found.
— Goodbye to Envy, " Su Xiao said as he pulled him out of the glass bottle and stabbed him with his sword.
The blade sank into his Philosopher's Stone and pierced through it.
[You killed Envy.
Envy is an important plot character, you have obtained 5.4% of the World Source and have a total of 22.6% of the World Source.]
[Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 15 points.
The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 959 points.]
[You have received a treasure chest (purple).]
[Killed by sins: 4/7.]
The reward for killing Envy was quite substantial. Purple Chest, Source of Peace and Mana.
The death of Envy will be announced very soon. After all, he had died in Central's territory, so Su Xiao needed to start acting as quickly as possible.
----
In a hotel located half a kilometer away from the scene of the skirmish, several contractors were sitting at a dinner table.
— Peaches, what's up? A burly man with big hands and a rounded waist asked a beautiful girl.
— Envy died, he killed him in no time.
— What?
— Impossible!
Several of the contractors in the room turned pale.
— If it's true... But this guy is just a rank one contractor, right? How can he be so strong?
— Maybe he found the weak spot of Envy?
Several of the contractors exchanged glances.
— I'm not sure, hmm~, " the Peach girl suddenly trembled. — He found me?
— But?
Several of the contractors looked at her strangely.
— Taking into account the bonus from the equipment, you have 35 points of intelligence. How could he have found you? How can a contractor of the first rank be superior to a contractor of the second rank?
— I do not know, but he really found me!.. Peaches frowned and turned pale. — It's coming, it's already very close!
All the contractors quickly stood up.
— Get ready for battle!
— Don't panic, given the circumstances, he most likely came to this world with us because of the need to raise his rank.
— So are we going to kill him or not?
*Knock, knock, knock*
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
— He's right here, right outside the door, " Peaches said, and backed away.
She was only in a temporary small group, and the members of that group were not trustworthy.
*Creaking sound*
The door slowly swung open and soon Su Xiao walked in.
— First rank rookie, why did you come? A burly man with big hands and a rounded waist swaggered forward, but when he saw Su Xiao's gaze, he immediately stiffened up.
— You... What are you, from the brigade?
— About? Do you know about the brigade?
Su Xiao had previously thought that after being promoted to the second rank in Paradise, he wouldn't be able to meet the first rank contractors, but it seemed that wasn't quite the case.
— Make a deal? I'll give you 3,000 coins, and you can tell me what your main mission is.
Since apparently the leader of this group had directly hinted to him that he was a rank two contractor, it meant that he already knew that he had come to this world because of his promotion mission, he clearly didn't mind making an agreement.
Hearing Su Xiao's suggestion, the eyes of all the contractors in the room shone.
He was essentially offering them free money and clearly wasn't going to fight them.
But what they didn't know was that once they revealed their mission, they would become his fat sheep. Or corpses. It all depended on the nature of their mission.
Su Xiao had quite a large amount of potions in his inventory.
And if he didn't sell all these potions in this world, he would basically just lose them, and he spent mana and time to create them.
So Su Xiao wanted to sell them to these contractors, but first he wanted to hear the essence of their mission.
