Chapter 136 Human greed knows no bounds.
Wearing the "degraded" Demon King Armor, Roy left the Gubney Familia's encampment with satisfaction.
Once the Demon King Armor matures, along with the Elf Holy Sword and the Shikon Jewel, he will possess three legendary pieces of equipment.
That's pretty scary.
According to the system rating, only adventurers of LV.7 or higher can unleash the full power of legendary equipment. In other words...
This is the equipment used by adventurers from LV.7 to LV.9, and even LV.10.
Now, this LV.3 newbie has two legendary and one near-legendary equipment pieces in his hands, each worth no less than three or four hundred million Fali!
Only a handful of adventurers in Orario possess such equipment. Among them are Riveria's "Great Elf," one of the "Five Supreme Staffs," and the Black Sword, which Ota has yet to obtain. On Roy's leisurely return to the Star Garden, the strangeness he sensed suddenly ruined his pleasant mood for the day.
Someone is following him!
Roy remained expressionless as he continued walking forward, subtly glancing at someone out of the corner of his eye.
Two adventurers hid in the crowd, indistinguishable from others, but occasionally their seemingly casual glances shifted as they secretly observed him and followed him.
Roy's mind raced. Could it be that crazy Freya again? But upon closer inspection, he noticed something amiss. The two LV.1 weaklings following him were not worth sending out.
A flash of anger crossed Roy's eyes. Who had the audacity to do this?
Knowing full well that he was LV.3, sending two LV.1 weaklings to follow him was no different from provoking him.
At a corner, Roy suddenly accelerated.
The two adventurers who were following Roy reached the corner, but within two seconds, Roy had vanished without a trace, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
After searching left and right, I finally spotted Roy's back at the entrance of an alleyway about 30 or 40 meters away.
Seeing that Roy was about to disappear from their sight, the two of them didn't bother to hide themselves anymore. They exchanged a glance and quickly chased after Roy.
The moment they entered the alley.
Roy transformed into a black shadow and swiftly rushed out, appearing in front of the two men and reaching out his large hand to grab them.
The two men were utterly shocked.
Roy moved with lightning speed, pressing one of the men's heads down with one hand and slamming it against the wall with a loud thud. The man's head bled, and he became dizzy.
Another person tried to draw his sword, but Roy tripped him with his right foot and then kicked him in the face without hesitation.
The powerful force sent the opponent flying four or five meters.
The two let out a painful lament.
The man who was being held down quickly said, "Sprout of Justice, wait, we are not your enemies."
A cold glint flashed in Roy's eyes as he said indifferently, "So you know me? Then why did you dare to follow me?"
The man was panting. "Someone wants to see you. We've just come to ask you to come over—"
"Who is it?"
You'll find out when you get there.
Before he could finish speaking, Roy grabbed the man's head with both hands, twisted it violently, and with a "crack," the man's neck was snapped, and he lost his life.
Roy wasn't interested in playing any riddle games with them; if you didn't answer, you died, so there was nothing more to say.
"It's your turn. Do you want to say something?"
Roy approached the young man who had been kicked away.
One of his companions was gone in an instant. Roy's ruthlessness terrified the man. He was willing to kill at the slightest provocation. This was on the surface of the earth, and wasn't he supposed to be a member of the righteous Astrea Familia? When did this Familia become more brutal than the Dark Faction?!
"It's Commander Chanis's order!"
Faced with the choice between the mastermind behind the scenes and his own life, the young man chose the latter without hesitation.
"Chanis—"
Upon hearing the name, Roy was stunned: Chanis Lustra, the leader of the Soma Familia.
He thought of the Freya Familia and the Ikelos Familia, but never of the Soma Familia, which sold sake.
On the surface, he had no connection with the other party.
The only contact was when he went over and threatened me in order to buy the original Divine Wine.
Roy's expression darkened slightly. Sending someone to invite him for no apparent reason must mean that the other party had sensed something.
At that time, he couldn't possibly wear the Phantom Mask to buy the Divine Wine from the other party. Otherwise, if Berserker Earth, who had just defeated Freya's Familia, appeared in Soma's Familia, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order not to make a big fuss, he didn't even kill Chanis Lustra, as the sudden death of a clan leader would certainly attract attention.
If Freya and Loki realize that they can deceive the gods by using the divine wine, they will once again get themselves into trouble.
He even left behind millions of pharmacies intended for the purchase of the holy wine, preventing Zanis from losing a large sum of money and becoming resentful. To put it bluntly...
Roy can steal it.
That wasn't money for the alcohol, it was hush money!
Judging from the situation, the other party was clearly unaware of this and even sent people to follow him.
Roy's eyes were icy. He really had to wipe out the Soma Familia; otherwise, his purchase of the divine wine might be exposed. Only the dead can't speak. "Can I leave now?"
The young man lying on the ground had no idea how complicated Roy's thoughts were during that brief moment, and a fawning smile appeared on his face.
Roy nodded, patted the other man on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Brother, you must keep my murder a secret forever!"
Hearing that Roy intended to let him go, the young man was incredibly excited and solemnly promised, "I'll keep this a secret forever!"
this!
Roy activated his magic, and golden lightning transformed into a longsword, piercing the young man's heart.
The young man opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
Roy put the two corpses into his spatial ring. Living people couldn't go in, but dead people could. He then went to a dungeon or a instance world, threw the corpses inside, and the two people disappeared into thin air.
Zanis Lustra waited and waited in a teahouse, but Roy and his two trusted men never showed up.
Just as Roy guessed.
While delivering wine to the Guppyeong family, he happened to see Roy with the god Guppyeong.
At first, he didn't pay attention, but Roy's voice sounded familiar, though he couldn't quite place where he'd heard it before. He was also someone who had watched the Apollo Familia War Game.
The more he looked, the more familiar the man seemed. Chanis finally remembered what had happened that day and suddenly realized that Roy's figure was somewhat similar to that of the person in the black cloak.
He was almost certain of it.
What does the "Sprout of Justice" character need the original divine wine for? They've never heard of anyone in the Astraea Familia liking to drink, and it's not like Loki is that alcoholic...
The budding sense of justice still secretly came to buy the divine wine, as if afraid of being seen.
Chanis swallowed hard, feeling as if he had come into contact with something he shouldn't have.
But his greed as an adventurer quickly overwhelmed him.
Using this incident to threaten the budding of justice might allow them to extract more benefits, after all, he's a wealthy man who casually tossed away over a million fares.
