Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 218 “Hero saves beauty”

Albert finally took action.

He chose to stab Xuanwu directly in the face because Xuanwu's snake-like golden pupils made him feel uncomfortable.

The Key of Time moved very quickly, slicing across Xuanwu's face like a snake or a dragon. Although Xuanwu wanted to stop Albert, she knew that the other party was far more powerful than she could resist, so she could only endure it silently.

"..."

Xuanwu stared at Albert in a daze. She didn't know when tears started to flow from her eyes, wetting her face.

But she didn't know why this happened.

It was like a pain cutting into the skin. At first Xuanwu felt it was very painful and difficult to adapt, but after she got used to it, she didn't find it strange anymore.

Life is like this, it wears away a person's bloodiness and slowly turns him into a meticulous machine.

Memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds.

Precious memories slowly faded from Xuanwu's mind like the tide.

She felt like something was being lost inside her body. She tried to stop it from slipping away, but it was like catching sand with bare hands; the sand would always slip away from her hands without her noticing.

In the end nothing was found.

……

Albert didn't really want to kill them all. In his opinion, Xuanwu and Lilith were about the same age. He had originally intended to erase Xuanwu's memories of himself and the Tomb of Time, but who knew that something went wrong.

The Key of Time, created through alchemy from outside the world, was inherently lacking in precision.

Previously, the depth of the wound could be used to determine how much memory was taken away, but now Albert can only make a rough estimate based on the feel of his hands.

Before Albert could completely take away Xuanwu's memory, he felt someone approaching.

"Really? Is this another gossip reporter promoting Toki no Tsukasa as some kind of tourist attraction?"

Albert wanted to continue to hold on. If he were given two more seconds, he would be able to take away Xuanwu's memory, and then everything would be foolproof.

However, what happened next forced Albert to change his mind.

"Xuanwu-senpai, are you there——"

Hearing this familiar voice, Albert knew it was time to retreat because Yiyin had tracked them down here.

This was not because Albert was afraid of Yiyin - although he had just heard not long ago that Yiyin had defeated Huang Quan single-handedly at the Wilshire base, but Albert believed in his heart that this was just exaggeration by gossip reporters.

The problem is, if Yiyin really saw him, then...

No, for Lilith's sake, I couldn't expose myself just yet. As the saying goes, "A mountain of life is worth a mountain of fire." The Tomb of Time is right here, and it won't escape on its own. I'll have plenty of time to collect it later. I've already waited this long, so there's no need to rush.

Besides, at least he was still one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ouroboros. He definitely couldn't openly oppose Yiyin, who was now a big favorite in the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen. If he took Yiyin's memories without reason, Her Majesty the Queen would definitely skin him alive if she found out.

Stop it!

Anyway, the purpose of testing the Key of Time today has been achieved, and it can be said to be very successful.

Albert gritted his teeth. Although there were only two seconds left, considering that Iin might come over at any time, he had to put away the Key of Time and escape from the Tomb of Time with his tail between his legs, carrying the Royal Blade.

As for Xuanwu... unfortunately, because Albert was unable to completely remove her memory, she lost more of it. As for how much memory she lost... I'm afraid only Time Key herself knows.

.

Yi Yin was a little anxious. He didn't expect that making his arm heal quickly would be such a difficult task.

Fortunately, Senior Baihu would not lie to me. After all, she knew that the scene of him kneeling down and begging me was still vivid in her mind... In that case, I would just listen to her.

Baihu told Yiyin that before Xuanwu went to the Tomb of Time, he told her that she should be back soon, and even if she didn't come back, she didn't need to worry too much, because she was protected by the B-level monster Longma, and ordinary people could not get close to her at all.

Yiyin couldn't care less. He urgently needed Xuanwu to heal Huaying, so he had to go find her.

how to get to?

Yiyin had neither a Beetle nor an Ark. Even if he had one, Yiyin believed he could make it explode inexplicably at any time.

Let's rely on Flash.

Although Yi Yin had just used the Flash Technique and it was still in its cooldown phase, it was not impossible for him to forcefully activate it again. However, it would consume a large amount of his mental energy and make him feel physically exhausted.

But there is no time to delay. Huaying is in a very bad condition and I don’t know how long she can last. We must hurry.

Thinking of this, Yiyin no longer hesitated and decisively used the flash technique again.

.

Tomb of Time.

"Xuanwu-senpai, are you there——"

Iin, who had just arrived at the Tomb of Time, seemed a little dizzy, but he still spared no effort to call out Xuanwu's name.

What would Senior Xuanwu do in a place like this - Yiyin thought - maybe to investigate the mystery of the accidental deletion of time?

What Yiyin didn't know was that because of his unintentional action, he accidentally saved Xuanwu's life.

If Yiyin hadn't arrived, Albert would never have left so quickly. Even Albert didn't know that the Key in his hand could not only take away memories, but also life force. If Yiyin had arrived just two seconds later, the Key of Time would have triggered Xuanwu's stubborn illness, killing him instantly.

It became a beautiful misunderstanding that no one knew about, at least for the time being.

After searching for a long time, Yi Yin finally found Xuanwu lying on the ground. At that moment, Yi Yin suddenly felt alert.

Is this person... Senior Sister Xuanwu? Is she a fraud?

Yiyin was used to being scared by all kinds of monsters, and seeing someone lying there like bait for no apparent reason made Yiyin wonder if it was a trap.

The method of verification was naturally very simple, just use the detection technique to detect it. But the problem was that Yi Yin had used the technique twice in a short period of time and really didn't have the extra energy to use it a third time.

What's worse, Yiyin felt dizzy when he thought of this.

Then, a burst of evil fire spread from Yiyin's lower abdomen and wandered around Yiyin's body, as if looking for something, or venting something.

This is incredible. Why would it come at this time, not earlier or later...

Yi Yin's forehead was covered with cold sweat. If he hadn't been relying on his own willpower to hold on, he would have surrendered long ago.

But the problem is, I absolutely cannot... at least I shouldn't be here...

In a trance, Yiyin's mind exploded like a thunder.

"Holy crap!! The chicken soup is poisonous!!!"

.

"Ah"

Suzaku, who was far away in the kitchen of the Four Gods Base, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason. She had finished cooking with great satisfaction, and even received praise from Yi Yin herself. So, she was in a pretty good mood and was even planning to go to the dormitory for a nap.

Therefore, Suzaku didn't take this little sneeze seriously at all.

In fact, this is not Suzaku's fault.

It's all Master Angulin's fault. As a master of gourmet monsters who has reached the pinnacle, he can naturally make a variety of meals with the mysterious and luxurious menu he wrote himself.

However, thanks to the power of the Time Demon, Emperor Mingga, Master Angulin survived for a long time, and the mysterious deluxe menu was naturally an antique-level treasure. Unavoidably, it had suffered some damage. So Suzaku didn't know that the chicken soup she made for Iin actually had medicinal properties...

.

Yiyin believed that she had never checked the almanac before going out today, otherwise he would not have let her go out.

Yi Yin's legs were shaking and his vision was blurry. He knew that humans had their limits, but he also wanted to challenge his own weaknesses.

Thinking of this, Yiyin decided to fight quickly and decisively.

He moved closer to Xuanwu and observed his sleepy eyes so closely, which gave Yiyin a very strange idea:

"She's so pretty."

Just when Yiyin was about to break through the defense and couldn't hold on, Xuanwu suddenly opened his eyes without any instruction.

She soon met Yiyin's eyes, which were no longer clear, but instead revealed something that she could not understand.

Seeing this, Xuanwu seemed to find it difficult to understand. She showed a rather confused expression and then asked:

"Bo Quan?"
