Neuvillette and Dottore faced off, both radiating immense eerie power.
"You pathetic mortal, do you really think that with such incomplete power, you can defeat me—the ruler of this world?"
Neuvillette glared at Dottore with intense hostility as he spoke viciously.
"I know that in terms of endurance, I'm certainly no match for you…"
Dottore spoke slowly.
"Which is why I need to end this quickly!"
In the next moment, Dottore transformed into a blur, appearing directly in front of Neuvillette!
His fist, wrapped in eerie energy, shot straight toward Neuvillette's face!
However, Neuvillette simply raised a hand, and with a surge of eerie energy, he effortlessly blocked the attack!
"Is that the extent of your strength?"
Neuvillette sneered before casually waving his other hand.
Instantly, two streams of pitch-black and crimson energy surged from behind him, slamming into Dottore with immense force!
The sheer impact sent Dottore crashing to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his lips…
"Haha, as expected, in terms of pure power, I'm still a bit lacking for now…"
Dottore wiped away the blood from his mouth and stood up once again.
"So, let me show you some of my little inventions."
As he spoke, two silver-gray spikes materialized behind him from seemingly nowhere.
However, these spikes were now enveloped in dense, crimson-black eerie energy.
"I originally designed these as high-speed weapons, though their destructive power was somewhat lacking…"
"But now, the eerie energy has perfectly compensated for that flaw, turning them into rather handy tools."
In the next instant, the eerie-empowered spikes disappeared from sight!
What followed was the chilling sound of flesh being sliced apart and blood splattering through the air!
Even though Neuvillette was already on high alert, his shoulder and waist were still grazed by the spikes!
The sheer speed of the attack was so overwhelming that even he couldn't react in time to defend with eerie power!
"You actually dodged? Originally, I was aiming for your head and chest."
Dottore noted that Neuvillette's reaction speed was faster than he had expected.
"You pathetic mortal! Disrespecting me is one thing, but you actually dare to injure me?!"
Neuvillette roared in fury.
He stomped the ground forcefully, and in an instant, an even more intense surge of eerie energy erupted from him!
"Kneel before me!!!"
A crushing force swept over Dottore, pressing down on him with immense power.
If he wanted to resist it, he had no choice but to continuously deplete his own eerie energy…
"Tsk... Is the gap still too vast…?"
"In the face of absolute, overwhelming power, all techniques and skills seem like nothing but a joke…"
Dottore muttered helplessly.
He could feel the eerie energy within his body rapidly dissipating…
"What a crude way to wield such power. If I were the one in control of such an immense force, I would certainly use it far more efficiently."
"Still, I've gathered quite a lot of practical combat data this time… It was well worth it."
With a loud boom, Dottore collapsed onto his knees, his kneecaps shattering upon impact.
Neuvillette slowly stepped forward, grasping Dottore by the throat and lifting him high into the air.
"Vile mortal! Pay the price for your foolishness and arrogance!"
As Neuvillette spoke, he tightened his grip and snapped Dottore's neck, then tossed him to the ground like discarded trash.
He then began to furiously stomp on Dottore's body, grinding him into a bloody pulp to vent his rage…
Earlier, Su Yuan had been worried—what if Neuvillette didn't finish him off properly?
But now, it was clear that he had overthought it.
With Dottore reduced to an unrecognizable mess, this clone of his had to be dead beyond any doubt…
Indeed, in his eerie state, Neuvillette's power was unquestionably overwhelming.
However, in the next moment, Neuvillette's gaze shifted toward Focalors and Su Yuan.
"I saw that. You two lifted your heads just now, didn't you?"
His icy voice rang out.
"You saw me wounded and struggling. Did that make you happy?"
Su Yuan immediately sensed danger.
Without hesitation, he channeled his Hydro energy, dispelling the rain and clearing the storm clouds.
"Neuvillette! That's enough—snap out of it!"
At Su Yuan's call, Neuvillette successfully regained his clarity.
He looked around but found no sign of Dottore.
Confused, he asked, "Su Yuan, where's Dottore? Did he escape?"
"No." Su Yuan pointed at the unidentifiable pile of flesh on the ground. "That's Dottore."
Focalors also stepped forward, asking with concern, "Neuvillette, are your shoulder and waist injuries alright?"
"I'm fine," Neuvillette glanced at his wounds.
"They're just minor scratches. Although they were tainted with eerie power, the wounds aren't deep—they'll heal in no time."
Su Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
With this, Furina shouldn't be in any immediate danger because of Dottore—at least for now…
.......
Outside the Opera Epiclese, Furina was hiding in a bush, not having gone far.
Although Su Yuan and Neuvillette had told her to go to the headquarters of the Gardes or the Special Security Forces, Furina didn't want to do that.
She chose to stay nearby instead so that if anything happened, she could react immediately.
But just then, she felt someone poke her from behind.
Furina turned around to see a masked man squinting his eyes in a smile as he looked at her.
"Oh! It's Lady Furina! What a coincidence, running into you here! I'm a huge fan of your opera performances!"
Furina was momentarily at a loss for words.
So this person was a fan of hers?
But judging by his outfit, he looked more like a shady Treasure Hoarder…
"Let me introduce myself—my name is Aji. As for my profession… well, it's not exactly convenient to disclose."
"Lady Furina, are you hiding in this bush because you're playing hide-and-seek with someone?"
"Uh… no…" Furina hesitated, unsure how to answer.
"But I am trying to stay hidden."
"Then that's perfect!" Aji said matter-of-factly.
"If you're trying to hide, this is absolutely not the way to do it!"
"You see, I was able to find you here so easily. If someone with bad intentions were to spot you hiding here, that would be a disaster."
"So, Lady Furina, would you like me to help you hide? I guarantee that no one will be able to find you!"
"Within our organization, I'm known as the Master of Concealment! You can trust in my skills completely!"
Looking at the confident man before her—who also happened to be her fan—Furina wondered if she should go along with his plan and learn some hiding techniques.
That way, she would have at least some ability to protect herself in the future when facing danger.
