The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 614 - 614

"Creak!"The sound of a man grinding his teeth could be heard.

He gripped the short blade tightly, his wrist gradually trembling.

"Are you angry?"

Eiji blinked, a kind smile appearing on his face.

"Slow, shameless, stupid, useless, beastly, idiotic, scoundrel..."

Aoko Aozaki silently covered her face.

I don't know this person!

She knew Eiji was good at provoking anger, but she never expected he could spew so many insults the moment he opened his mouth.

If she were the one facing him, her lungs would be exploding with rage by now!

He's so damn punchable!

The more someone prided themselves on being noble, the less they could tolerate such a string of insults.

"Enough!"

The bandaged man roared angrily.

"Carmilla, stop him!"

As soon as he spoke.

A figure shifted from shadow to light behind him, lifting her weapon and swinging it over!

It was a woman exuding a bloody aura, her upper face covered by a mask that obscured her features, with only her eyes revealing a bloodthirsty madness.

In her hand, she held a chain connected to an iron maiden as tall as a person.

"Boom!"

She swung the smaller iron maiden like a hammer toward Eiji!

At the same time, the bandaged man bypassed the two combatants and rushed toward the White Princess from the side.

Eiji's gaze sharpened.

The silver blade moved like an antelope's horn, striking the shield surface of the iron maiden!

Carmilla staggered.

The iron maiden flew out uncontrollably, suddenly becoming like a runaway horse, the chain in her hand dragging her along.

With a "thud," the massive steel construct crashed to the ground, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.

The bandaged man paused mid-step.

The iron maiden had landed precisely between him and the White Princess, blocking his path.

Clearly, he wasn't going to be allowed to cross that line!

"Kid, what connection do you have with this woman?"

Though his expression couldn't be seen, his tone was icy, obviously suppressing his anger.

"First time meeting today."

Eiji replied indifferently.

"Then why are you stopping me?"

The bandaged man's eyes were filled with confusion.

"You two just met today and are already fighting—isn't that proof of your poor relationship? Moreover, you don't have a way to deal with her. If I take care of her, shouldn't that be a win-win for us?"

"At first glance, it seems so."

Eiji nodded honestly.

"So?"

The bandaged man's expression tightened, a hint of delight appearing in his eyes.

"But I refuse!"

Eiji declared bluntly.

"Your words couldn't even fool Aoko, and you think you can fool me?"

Aoko Aozaki: "?"

Don't @ me, thanks.

"She might not be a good person, but you're definitely not one!"

Eiji sneered.

So ridiculous.

Even though they started fighting upon meeting, she's still the heroine, at least on the side of order.

And someone like you, targeting the heroine, is usually an irredeemable villain!

That's author logic!

I didn't become a web novelist for nothing!

"Tch!"

The bandaged man's eyes were filled with undisguised malice.

"In that case, Carmilla, let's capture them together, then take Arcueid back!"

"Hmph."

Carmilla retrieved her iron maiden, letting out a cold snort.

Without waiting for a reply, the bandaged man remained unperturbed, confident that she would obey him.

Facing two enemies at least at the Servant level, Eiji took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening.

Setting Carmilla aside for the moment, the bandaged man's earlier ambush had been exceptionally bizarre. Not only were his strength and speed terrifyingly formidable, but the strike that had defeated the True Ancestor vampire was peculiarly abnormal. In terms of power, he undoubtedly surpassed Carmilla!

Though these were formidable foes, Eiji had no intention of retreating.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he glanced back.

The White Princess had collapsed to the ground at some point, her eyes tightly shut—clearly, she had fallen unconscious.

He considered calling her to join the fight, but in this state, no amount of shouting would likely rouse her.

Eiji simply materialized two swords. With his maximum instantaneous acceleration, he could fully engage the enemy with a dual-blade style, concentrating his power without any dispersion, even enhancing his combat prowess significantly.

On the opposite side.

A brilliant speck of light appeared in the bandaged man's exposed right eye.

The speck was azure blue, positioned at the very center of his pupil, dazzling like a gemstone.

Staring directly into that eye, Eiji felt a sudden palpitation, as if Death itself had fixed its gaze upon him. His instincts screamed a fierce warning.

He intuitively grew wary—he must not carelessly allow this guy's attacks to land.

"Ugh...!"

But suddenly.

The bandaged man clutched his head, letting out a pained groan.

His right eye widened abruptly, blood vessels violently engorging, nearly bursting the eyeball!

"Damn it, it hasn't been fully absorbed yet...!"

The bandaged man shot Eiji a look of intense resentment.

His eyes seemed to want to tear Eiji to pieces, brimming with undisguised killing intent and fury.

"Bastard, I'll remember you, brat! Carmilla, retreat!"

He growled, clutching his head as he stepped back.

As he retreated, his figure rapidly faded, eventually dissolving into the air.

Carmilla remained silent for a moment before her form disintegrated like particles of light.

Both vanished swiftly.

They had come quickly and left just as fast.

"What just happened?"

Eiji lowered his swords, sensing the crisis had passed.

The pained expression on the bandaged man's face before he left, along with his words—"hasn't been fully absorbed yet"—seemed to hint at some hidden secret.

Whatever made him willing to abandon the White Princess must have been an extraordinary circumstance.

"Aren't we going after them?"

Aoko stepped forward.

"No, we wouldn't be able to kill them anyway."

Eiji shrugged helplessly.

That bandaged man was undoubtedly a Dead Apostle, and at least at the level of a Lord. With the little lamp oil they had left, there was no way they could finish him off.

"That's true."

Aoko nodded in understanding.

Thoroughly eliminating a Lord-level Dead Apostle was extremely difficult. It required meticulous preparation, preferably with Alice—the most skilled in magecraft—taking the lead.

"Besides, the key right now is this woman."

Eiji turned to look at the White Princess lying motionless on the ground.

Calling her "motionless" wasn't an exaggeration—it was the truth.

Her body temperature was as cold as a corpse, her face had turned ashen, her internal organs were nearly paralyzed, and her entire body was stiff like a dead body.

"Did that Dead Apostle just call her Arcueid?"

Aoko's expression turned peculiar.

"So, she is Arcueid Brunestud? The only surviving True Ancestor in the modern era, who has lived for eight hundred years?"

Though she had only been a magician for less than two years, to deal with the special circumstances of this Singularity, she had crammed a lot of knowledge over the past month.

"What should we do with her?"

Aoko looked over, seeking Eiji's opinion.

"Is that even a question?"

Eiji revealed a brilliant smile.

"Carry her home first!"
