"Bang————!"
With the sound of impact, the wall of the Stolen Goods Warehouse was directly smashed into pieces, causing wooden fragments to fall one after another, engulfing Elsa.
Perhaps due to Fang Li's slightly more serious approach, the entire Stolen Goods Warehouse trembled slightly with that strike, as if it could collapse at any moment, making everyone present feel a moment of apprehension.
Fang Li gazed at the scene, raised his head, and touched his forehead.
His palm was immediately stained with blood.
And the pain came just as expected.
So, Fang Li confirmed it.
Elsa's headbutt had cracked his forehead.
At this moment, Fang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I thought I was reckless enough, daring enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more reckless in this world."
With that said, Fang Li wiped the blood from his forehead and stepped forward, coming to the corner of the wall swallowed by wood. He extended his hand into the wood's interior.
The next moment, with a forceful tug, Fang Li grabbed the "Bowel Hunter" buried in the wood.
With one hand, he tightly grasped Elsa's severed wrist.
"Cough cough..." Elsa was completely unable to resist, only coughing up a little blood foam from her throat, staining her mouth red.
Fang Li held the assassin's hand tightly with one hand, lifting her up, and looked at Elsa's face, slowly speaking.
"Such an enchanting beauty, resorting to such brutal attack methods, isn't it a bit crude?"
Fang Li's words made Elsa chuckle softly in response.
"As long as I can move, I'll pursue my kill to the end, until the target lies in a pool of blood, their flesh peeled open, abdomen cut open, with red blood and warm intestines flowing out. That's the way of the 'Bowel Hunter'."
Such words made Natsuki Subaru, Felt, and Rom shudder involuntarily.
Emilia, on the other hand, wore an expression of pity, seeming to find Elsa very pitiful.
Only Reinhard stepped forward and said to Elsa, "Since the outcome is decided, could you please tell us the information you mentioned before being arrested?"
"Reinhard van Astrea..." Elsa glanced at Reinhard, her voice filled with genuine regret as she said, "I originally planned to settle things here first, and then enjoy the taste of fighting legendary Knights. Unfortunately, it seems that won't be possible."
With that, Elsa suddenly raised her head and, facing Fang Li's direction, spat out something that had been hidden in her mouth all along.
It was a piece of broken wood.
Although it was just a piece of broken wood, it shot out at an astonishing speed, slicing through space with a sharp sound, violently aiming for Fang Li's eyes.
Once hit, an ordinary person's eyeball would be instantly pierced through, even penetrating the brain, being killed by this sudden ambush.
Fang Li couldn't ignore this attack either.
Therefore, Fang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a step back, avoiding the broken wood that shot out like a bullet.
"Kacha..."
The next moment, the sound of bones breaking resounded.
Elsa took advantage of this opportunity to break free from Fang Li's restraints.
Moreover, she did so by breaking her own hand bones, causing the arm held tightly by Fang Li to slip out of his grasp.
As a result, Elsa's body fell to the ground and immediately dashed away like a rat into the shadows.
In that instant, Elsa's aura completely disappeared.
Only the sound remained, still echoing in the air.
"What is your name?" This question naturally targeted only one person.
Fang Li silently withdrew his hand, feeling around but completely unable to detect Elsa's aura.
The assassin's skill in concealing her aura was unexpectedly high.
Unable to sense Elsa's aura, Fang Li gave up and answered directly.
"My name is Fang Li."
"Fang Li... Fang Li..." Elsa repeated the name continuously as if intending to remember it completely, speaking lightly with a smile.
"I remember your name now."
"Someday, I will gut you and preserve your intestines in a jar for a lifetime."
"Before that, I hope you don't die somewhere else."
Leaving behind these words, Elsa seemed to leave as if she had no more to say.
No.
Elsa left behind one more sentence.
"As a reward for giving me such a thorough enjoyment, I'll tell you this: if you want to find the Witch Cult, then stay by the side of that silver-haired half-elf."
"Although I don't know the exact scope of the Witch Cult's activities, their target is that Half-Elf."
One sentence caused Emilia's complexion to change slightly.
"Tch..." Pack clicked his tongue in disgust and said, "Damn Witch Cult..."
As for the others, their reactions were quite different.
"Half-Elf?" Rom, with the most surprised expression he had ever worn, looked at Emilia and exclaimed, "You're actually a Half-Elf?"
"A silver-haired Half-Elf?" Felt widened her eyes, her expression extremely fearful. "No... impossible... a silver-haired Half Elf being... and a participant in the Royal Selection... impossible!"
Seeing Felt and Rom's intense reactions, Subaru Natsuki froze directly, unable to react for a while.
"A Half-Elf is a Spirit with only half of the bloodline, right? What happened?" Facing Subaru Natsuki's puzzled words, Reinhard also did not respond this time, only closing his eyes and falling into silence.
In the end, only Fang Li gazed at the shadows ahead as if watching Elsa leave. After a moment, he sighed.
"Is this really the only way?"
After saying that, Fang Li turned his head and looked at Emilia.
Sensing Fang Li's gaze, Emilia averted her eyes, as if avoiding seeing emotions she didn't want to see in Fang Li's eyes.
That was only natural.
Because a silver-haired Half-Elf was a taboo existence.
Just 400 years ago, a silver-haired Half Elf devoured half of the world, causing the foundation of the world to shake as it had never before, nearly facing complete destruction.
People called her Witch of Envy.
The Witch Cult worshipped this mad fanatic cultist.
And the name of Witch had become taboo in this world.
- "Satella".
That was the name of the Witch of Envy.
The name spoken by the silver-haired Half-Elf girl in the previous loop was the True Name of this Witch of Envy.
Emilia must have suffered discrimination because of this, right?
In such a situation, Fang Li uttered a sentence in the style of Subaru Natsuki.
"So that's why I hate this kind of setting..."
