Chapter 413: Fifty-Six I didn’t really want to get this child’s clothes dirty (5K)
Bai Wei’s movements were simply too fast. By the time Cesar sensed danger, it was already too late. The female Player and Zel’s corpses had already, under Bai Wei’s control, pierced through his heart.
Cesar hadn’t even had time to struggle free when he saw the snow at his feet turning into rising white mist, rapidly spreading over his body.
By the time it covered half of his body, Cesar saw Bai Wei make a hand gesture, and he felt a sense of impending doom. He immediately invoked the power of the notes, but it was still a step too late.
the lower half of his body shattered into pieces from the massive explosion of Magic Power, his internal organs fluttering around like the stuffing of a doll.
“Ah ah ah ah!” Cesar screamed in agony as he howled at Bai Wei, “Do you think, this will kill me?!”
But it still wasn’t over. Bai Wei had expertly contained the explosion within the white mist, without even affecting the two Corpse Blocks controlling Cesar’s body.
Next, Cesar saw Bai Wei make a gesture like pulling on puppet strings, and the two corpses behind him moved again.
They acted together, seizing the blasted-open wound in Cesar’s abdomen and starting to pull it apart, bit by bit.
his torn internal organs and blood poured out like a waterfall.
Cesar’s face was twisted in pain, but he still stared intensely at Bai Wei, “No matter what you’re trying to do, I’m…”
His words were cut off as he suddenly realized something and immediately looked down.
Sure enough, he saw two hands soaked in blood, slowly pulling apart his flesh and internal organs, revealing a concealed, withered bone gradually appearing.
This was his objective!
Cesar’s expression no longer held the previous mockery and ferocity, but turned into even greater horror.
How could this guy know which Corpse Block was his?!
This was his biggest secret, a secret deeper even than the Music score!
But this guy knew! And it was his target from the very beginning!
Who in the world was he?! How could he possibly know?!
Cesar really wanted to figure out these two questions, but not now. Under Bai Wei’s control, one of the Corpse Blocks’ fingers had touched that bone and began the attempt to pull it out.
“Don’t you underestimate me!”
Cesar roared as the notes etched onto his body lit up swiftly.
Following that, his dismembered lower half also rapidly regenerated and reshaped.
The parts of the two Corpse Blocks that had reached into Cesar’s body hadn’t even had the chance to withdraw before they were covered by the regrowing flesh, stuck and unable to be pulled away, as if they were extra limbs grown out of Cesar’s body.
Of course, Cesar wouldn’t keep these things. His hands became as sharp as steel blades, and with a sweep, he chopped off the hands and feet of the two Corpse Blocks, which then fell down like puppets whose strings had been cut.
But whether it was still mistrust or the fury in his heart, even this didn’t seem sufficient for Cesar; he continued to wave his hands, tearing those two Corpse Blocks into shreds of flesh before they could even hit the ground.
Their blood mingled with snow in the air, falling onto Cesar’s now bulging and seething muscles.
On his chest, six golden notes shone brilliantly under the restraint of the silver Music score.
“No matter how many times I look at you, it always seems that you just don’t fit in with this land,” Bai Wei’s voice reached Cesar’s ears, “To be honest, you should’ve stayed in Lyra; I think Chainsaws and Chopping Axes would be more suitable for dealing with a freak like you.”
Cesar abruptly lifted his head, glaring intensely at Bai Wei.
Unlike him, who was as pathetic as a Monster at the moment, Bai Wei maintained an image of grace and composure.
After all, he was using Hewinia’s body, and even if he did nothing but stand there, compared to Cesar, it was like a true embodiment of beauty and the beast.
And this was precisely what Cesar found unforgivable.
That composure and grace unwittingly made Cesar recall the time when he first entered school ten years ago, when his short and scruffy self could never lift his head in front of those girls who didn’t seem to belong to the same world as him because of their appearance and dress.
That inferiority etched deep in his heart, he thought he had long since shed.
But now, he recalled that feeling once more.
Staring at that beautiful face and graceful figure, Cesar felt as if a beast was roaring in his heart.
Tear her apart, tear her apart, tear her apart!
Just like he had done countless times over the past decade.
However, the strength demonstrated by his opponent just now forced him to momentarily calm down.
“What on earth…” he started again, “are you? Why… are you so aware of my business?”
“You’re more curious about why I’m so aware of your Corpse Block,” Bai Wei spoke languidly, “How shall I explain it to you… just think of it as some people are born with knowledge.”
Cesar slightly narrowed his eyes.
Born with knowledge? He didn’t believe there could be such a person.
If there were, it could only be a Divine or the true owner of these Corpse Blocks.
Clearly, this guy was neither.
So, was he deceiving me?
As soon as this thought crossed Cesar’s mind, Bai Wei spoke as if he could see through Cesar’s thoughts, “The one inside your body, if I’m not mistaken, is called ‘Visas’ Broken Bone’ in the Taboo Book. Unlike Visas’ more famously known Corpse Blocks, this bone does not carry a Rule, but pure… power.”
