Deep in the Living

Chapter 705: Rose Petals


One minute ago.

Under the guise of "reality erasure" provided by the tongue, Luo Di stealthily pursued the scent to the central mansion and immediately spotted the black-haired man unaffected by the wax, standing on top of the prospective butler.

The opponent's attack methods were very ordinary, just a simple hand axe swing, yet it was enough to kill the prospective butler with a single blow.

The first impression for Luo Di was different from any teacher inside the school. If he had to compare, it was quite similar to the former Hunter and himself.

Thanks to the tongue's remote tasting, he could sense a unique flavor from this person, like the taste of blood rusting on metal.

This man's left face was entirely made of gold, with intricate rose patterns engraved on the surface.

The eyeball on the left was not in use, the metal partition sealing off the eye socket entirely, only the normal human eye on the right was being used, with a blood-red pupil as vibrant as a rose.

At this moment, Gust's tongue spoke:

"Luo Di, promise me! As soon as you get the tongue, retreat, even if it's just a little bit. No, just retreat immediately, this is not someone you can handle.

Human Body Exhibition, President - Mr. Rosh (Mr. Rose).

When I was young, I was invited to attend the exhibition, which was considered the largest group event in the Middle Layer of the Corner at the time, showcasing various human samples and artistic creations.

Back then, Mr. Rose had already surpassed maturity, ranked fourth among the plants.

Even though me and Question Mark had moved up in the rankings later, this guy's strength should be on par with mine.

Moreover, he seems to have changed a lot, where he once was all flesh and blood, now there's a strange metallic structure involved.

Additionally, both of you are Black Door! The same kind of fear, but the rank disparity is immense, you will be killed."

"Senior, can you assist me fully in 'support combat' mode? I want to try..."

Thump thump~

Luo Di's heartbeat began to accelerate, his whole body inexplicably boiling.

The Mr. Rose before him seemed like the most delicious food he had ever encountered.

Gust could naturally taste Luo Di's emotions, sense the excitement, even he himself became a bit excited.

"You kid have about ten percent of my style back in the day, fine... I'll help you a little, at least to ensure you don't die."

Simultaneously,

[Vortex Town - Teacher's Office]

All teachers, including Hunter, were gathered here for an important meeting on "deep-level development and pre-strategy for the Outer Realm."

Gust suddenly raised his hand, "Urgent need for the restroom."

Teacher Guo could easily see through the clumsy excuse, but nodded in agreement anyway.

Gust quickly arrived at the last stall of the men's restroom, spat out his tongue, extending it out of the window, like an antenna reaching the highest point.

He could have gone in person, but it wasn't necessary... since a young man wanted to take the opportunity to grow, as a teacher, he naturally had to give a chance.

...

At the moment Mr. Rose attacked the lady,

Luo Di's spine shot out like a slingshot, directly slashing at the opponent's body at the fastest speed.

Holding nothing back,

The Black Spine in his hand also fully deployed, transforming into a giant sword.

Unlike before, Luo Di now could wield it single-handedly, as the Corpse Transformation seemed to boost his strength. In this way, his left hand could be freed to handle emergencies.

One thing to know was that Luo Di's scent had been completely licked away,

making him appear like an invisible man.

Meanwhile, Mr. Rose's attention was solely on the lady.

This perfect ambush, theoretically bound to succeed 100%. But just as the giant sword was about to strike, a rose petal drifted over from nowhere.

The petal just happened to block his line of sight.

Even though Luo Di immediately used a Consciousness Slash to tear the petal apart, the moment's delay had already altered the scene before his eyes.

Mr. Rose's axe, which should have struck the lady, was now blocking the strike path.

Clang!

A loud collision sounded, wax splattering everywhere.

Due to the temporary reverse block, Mr. Rose's balance was slightly off, getting pushed back a hundred meters away, sliding over the wax surface.

Luo Di, on the other hand, stood firmly in front of the lady, expressionless but internally shocked beyond words.

Following that,

A stabbing pain shot through the front.

A fresh cut stretched from Luo Di's right shoulder directly to his left waist, deep enough to see the bone.

Not only did the ambush fail, but at the moment Mr. Rose was forced back, he executed a flawless counter-slash with exquisite skill.

Fortunately his stance was awkward, making the slash less effective; otherwise, Luo Di might have been split in two just now.

Drip-drop!

Blood kept seeping out, the usual regeneration methods entirely ineffective.

Moreover, even eerier was that the seeping blood had a rose petal sensation.

Luo Di hurriedly pressed his left hand to the wound, licking along the slash...

and as the licking concluded, miraculously, the wound healed.

Not only that,

Luo Di reached out to hold the lady's injured arm, also licking and repairing it.

The lady looked at the young man before her in disbelief, at this visitor who she had just recently met.

"Luo Di, you can actually force this guy to retreat... and your tongue, what exactly is it!"

Luo Di directly changed the topic, "Madam, cooperate with me..."

"Alright, don't let him into the mansion!"

Just as the lady stood up to stand side by side with Luo Di,

Mr. Rose slightly tilted his head, looking at Luo Di's healed injuries and the lady's healing arm, accurately capturing the composition of the saliva on them.

A standard Italian accent came, "Did Gust come?"

"No."

Just as Luo Di gave this answer, his tongue suddenly flicked loudly, and with Gust's assistance, he seemed to see a clear, future death scene.

≮His body was completely split from the middle≯

『Luo Di, quickly dodge!』

Gust's shout directly transmitted to the brain.

Luo Di did not make any evasive action, nor did he think about resisting directly.

Petals fell, Mr. Rose was already rushing forward in an extremely low sprinting posture, the axe in his hand coming from below.

Just as the uppercut was about to hit,

Buzz!

Luo Di suddenly disappeared from sight, even the lady beside him didn't know what was going on.

But Mr. Rose quickly noticed an anomaly; the wax-covered ground suddenly had a deep pit.

Just as the opponent's attention was attracted by the deep pit of the hole.

Buzz!

Luo Di reappeared, right behind Mr. Rose.

His hand no longer held the heavy black giant sword, instead, it transformed into the most ordinary slaughter knife structure... though the power was reduced, the speed was faster, more handy.

Moonlight shone down,

The filmization blessing offered special enhancement to the protagonist Luo Di, making him faster! About to cut the opponent's head.

Yet again the same situation...

A rose petal drifted by in front.

Mr. Rose, who originally couldn't react, already slashed his hand axe over. Unfortunately, Luo Di's killing intent didn't diminish at all, he suddenly switched to holding it with both hands.

The left arm surged with a certain divinity, Gust's tongue even helped to wrap around the blade.

A full-force slash, weapon collision... Crack!

A sound of bone breaking echoed,

The slaughter knife in Luo Di's hand, formed from Black Spine, unexpectedly broke, faintly accompanied by a sharp female scream.

Mr. Rose opened his eyes wide, his thumb cut off, the axe was thrown away, the remaining fingers still slightly trembling.

Such a good opportunity, Luo Di naturally wouldn't miss it, even with the broken blade still going forward.

However,

Mr. Rose, who had been using a single hand to wield the axe, his other hand suddenly moved, drawing a curved scimitar from within his sleeve.

Right after, his wide and open attack style transformed.

Rose petals fell,

An elegant dance step flashed instantly, Luo Di couldn't clearly see, the opponent had already reached behind... the attack was also over.

Swish!

Flesh and blood separated, Luo Di's body cracked in the middle, split into left and right halves falling to the ground.

However,

The wax coating on the ground rapidly flowed, wrapping the broken body, engulfing it.

The lady didn't refrain from assisting in combat, rather she knew even with their joint forces it was a dead end.

Instead of dying, better one person live.

Mr. Rose had already retrieved the axe, moving his neck while approaching the lady.

At this moment... Boom! A clap of thunder suddenly came from behind.

Rolling black clouds were moving in this direction.

Faintly visible was a dragon's shadow hiding among the clouds.

Mr. Rose made a helpless hand gesture and then a standard gentleman's bow... Buzz!

Leaving only a rose floating in the air, his figure disappeared.
