Chapter 16 Sir Skeleton!
I have to say, the sense of déjà vu is just too strong.
This wasn't the first time Tang Zijun had encountered this tactic of invoking the boss's name when she couldn't win a fight. It felt like when she was a kid, someone would cause trouble for no reason, and after realizing she couldn't mess with them, they would say, "I know so-and-so."
The problem is that this statement is like a flag; people who say such things often don't have a good ending, and might even bring trouble upon the person they're talking about.
The first corrupt high-ranking official who died at Tang Zijun's hands in his early years was a perfect example of this process.
However, Tang Zijun still noticed the name the other party mentioned—Skull Knight.
Based on his understanding of the monster camp, those with names and surnames are generally at the cadre level, or at the very least, low-ranking cadres. Since the other party's name has the suffix "Jazz," he is clearly not an ordinary being.
No wonder this crab monster was still fearless even after being pulled into the reverse world; it turns out he had a high-ranking official backing him.
I wonder if the cadres among these heretics are as troublesome as those in the mirror plane.
While Tang Zijun was still pondering, she heard the magical girl not far away suddenly let out a loud shout.
"Sir Skeleton!? You just mentioned Sir Skeleton, right?!"
Hearing the noise, the crab-like monster turned its head, a meaningful smile on its face. "Yes, it is Sir Skull. You should be familiar with this name, little girl, after all, you were the only human to survive back then."
The words were like sharp daggers, each one piercing Qin Nan's tender heart with deadly ferocity. At that moment, her heartbeat seemed to falter.
A simple sentence, yet it felt like a boulder pressing down on her chest. Qin Nan's body trembled, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, and her gaze was filled with murderous intent as she stared at the crab monster.
Standing diagonally opposite the human and the monster, Tang Zijun frowned slightly.
It seems that the two sides in front of us also have a history.
Moreover, this past event is likely an extremely painful old story.
Watching the magical girl's breathing become rapid due to her unstable emotions, the crab monster completely disregarded her and even sneered.
"Are you surprised? Actually, I've known for a long time. Ever since a magical girl appeared in Chang'an who took the initiative to find Sir Skull, we've guessed that you're the little girl who survived back then. We just didn't expect that you would actually win the favor of the Rainbow Crystal Flower."
"You son of a bitch...you're really damned."
Qin Nan's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
Although she wanted to calm herself down, extreme anger and hatred kept assaulting her reason.
Tang Zijun could also see her current state. Since he didn't know exactly what had happened, he couldn't comment. But judging from the attitudes of both parties, the girl had obviously been hurt by Sir Skeleton.
"Do you want revenge?" Tang Zijun asked.
Upon hearing this, both Qin Nan and the Crab Monster were stunned, and even the Crab Monster's smile froze on his face.
Tang Zijun turned to look at Qin Nan and said calmly.
"If you're willing, I don't mind if you kill him here. Anyway, even if you don't, I won't let him leave. After all, this guy is too strong."
"What do you mean?!" The crab-like monster looked at Tang Zijun in fear. He couldn't understand why the other party would risk offending Sir Skeleton to kill him. "Aren't you afraid Sir Skeleton will come after you?!"
"Sir Skeleton, is it?"
Tang Zijun pursed her lips.
"I've never heard of it."
"You!!" The crab monster pointed its huge pincers at Tang Zijun, its pupils trembling, unable to utter a single word.
At this moment, Qin Nan spoke up. "Are you telling the truth?"
"What?" Tang Zijun shifted her gaze.
"You just said I could kill him here?" Qin Nan said calmly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Please go ahead."
Tang Zijun didn't say much, but took two steps back and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture.
Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the sky of the Reversed World. The raindrops, like cow's hair, came from all directions, wetting Qin Nan's hair, but she was completely unaware, staring intently at the crab monster.
Raindrops slid down her pretty face. A gentle breeze swept by, causing the raindrops in the air to swirl and swirl. At that moment, the gale seemed to take shape.
Seeing this, the crab monster lost his previous arrogance and quickly began to mobilize the black energy within his body, trying to deal with the magical girl opposite him first.
Although we don't know what the Greedy One, who disappeared for seven years, is planning, the best course of action in the current situation is to kill the magical girl who poses the least threat.
However, just as he was about to take action, an invisible pressure suddenly descended upon him.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a pair of eerie green pupils, carrying an aura of death, appeared and disappeared. An indescribable fear welled up from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread throughout my body.
At that moment, Crab Man felt as if he were standing in front of Skull Sir. His legs began to tremble, and his eyes widened in terror.
An overwhelming aura pressed down on them, and the crab-like monster turned to stare at Tang Zijun in disbelief. "You...you too!!"
"I didn't say you could move," Tang Zijun replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
Before the crab monster could say anything more, the crystal blade was already right in front of him, its edge slicing past and silencing him.
The latest novel is first published here!
A blue figure flashed past in mid-air.
The next second, a hideous gash was instantly torn open in the crab monster's chest.
This strike did not signify the end, but rather seemed like a beginning.
Enraged, Qin Nan unleashed her full magical power. At this moment, she had long forgotten about magic skills; all she wanted was to kill the guy in front of her in the simplest and most cruel way.
Her steps quickened, and Qin Nan's figure became increasingly blurred. In the end, she even seemed to transform into a streak of light, constantly flashing around the crab monster.
Whenever their figures crossed paths, a crack would appear on the crab monster's body, and the dark aura around him would visibly decay.
He had considered resisting, but after being severely injured by the magical girl, he knew he was at a disadvantage.
Most importantly, the strange guy not far away was still staring at him. Given the pressure he was exuding, the crab monster had no doubt that if he made any move, the other party would cripple him even faster.
Since he was going to die either way, the crab monster completely went mad.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black, viscous liquid, then laughed loudly.
"Hmph hmph hmph hahahahaha!!"
"As a member of the same faction, you've turned around and helped humanity. I never expected that you from the Mirror Dimension would collude with magical girls."
"You traitors! Don't think that killing me will solve everything."
"The Mirror Dimension, which disappeared seven years ago, has reappeared in the world. Lord Skull and the other lords will definitely not stand idly by!"
"Let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance. I'll be waiting for you down there!!"
"--Ha ha ha ha!"
Despite hearing that grating laughter, Tang Zijun's expression remained unusually cold.
"traitor?"
Looking at the crab-like monster, whose aura had weakened and who had fallen into madness, Tang Zijun's tone was devoid of any emotion.
"What gives you the right to call me a traitor?"
A flash of blue light, and this time the blade was aimed directly at the dark crystal on the monster's head.
"When did I ever admit to being a greedy person?"
Three questions in a row.
The crab monster's face finally turned deathly pale!
