#375 - The End of the Bishop of Lust
The sight of the girl transforming her appearance right in front of him didn't inspire praise or admiration, only a chilling sensation.
"That's creepy. Have you met my sister somewhere...? No, that's not right. It should be, do you perhaps have some kind of mind-reading ability?"
"I haven't met her, spoken to her, or even consciously acknowledged her existence."
Wearing his sister's face like a mask, she denied her very existence while professing a love that no ordinary person could understand.
"I merely deduced the face and figure you find appealing from your reactions. I'm a woman who will stake everything, you know? To make a rival I admire fall in love with me, giving it my all is only natural!"
"That's strange."
Zun Zun didn't deny that he disliked it, but instead wondered, "I didn't say what my preferences were, did I? You know, even the succubus big sisters give you a questionnaire beforehand."
"Succubi are what kind of trash?"
The Cardinal of Lust first trashed Axel's highly-rated succubus big sister shops, then declared her abilities with an arrogant and confident air.
"Expressions, voice, movements, speaking intervals, gaze—I understand your personality, nature, and preferences through conversation. I don't miss a single gesture. To be loved wholeheartedly, that's how I invest everything!"
Then, her words and expression became gentle and tender.
"Look at me, only look at me... Don't look at anyone else anymore. My face, body, voice, expression, movements, should all be hitting your bullseye!"
As she spoke, her eyes softened continuously.
Sweet words and gentle eyes, even the enveloping nature of her chest, completely enveloped Zun Zun like candied fruit.
His body gradually melted.
...It didn't.
Zun Zun simply watched the Cardinal of Lust perform, and even though her expression, demeanor, voice, and even the subtle gestures were all identical to his sister, it still didn't soften him in the slightest.
"You stubborn little brat... What about me displeases you so much?"
"Your nature."
A decisive answer.
As the Cardinal of Lust bared her teeth in anger, Zun Zun said with a cold face, "No matter how much you fake it, a fake is still a fake, not to mention you're not the real big sister, but a woman transformed to match my preferences. I'll tell you one last thing, the Crimson Demons don't rely on faces to judge people, but on—"
Light and darkness appeared as light swords in Zun Zun's hands. He stepped on the ground and charged towards the Cardinal of Lust, who had the same face as his sister, his twin swords aimed at her blind spot.
"Magic power!"
"You fickle, rotten little brat!"
The Cardinal of Lust stomped her foot, and her right wrist began to transform from the shoulder into a huge wolf's head. The head of a ferocious beast, howling wildly, flew towards Zun Zun at a speed too fast for the eyes to follow.
The beast's teeth tried to bite the light swords, but the light swords were too sharp, and its head was sliced off in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Zun Zun's other light sword had already arrived, heading straight for the Cardinal of Lust's neck, showing no mercy just because she had turned into his sister.
"You think that's enough to hurt me?"
"If only it were that simple! Take this!"
The severed wolf's head quickly transformed into a giant python, biting towards Zun Zun's back at a treacherous angle, while the other hand turned into a lion's head, trying to bite Zun Zun's shoulder.
"Don't even think about it!"
—I'm going to explode!
Cherry Bomb instantly erupted, blowing the Cardinal of Lust away. Before she could readjust her posture to counterattack, a bright light illuminated her entire field of vision. The next moment, the light flashed across the Cardinal of Lust's slender neck, and her head flew off.
The face resembling his sister's flew through the air, and an exaggerated amount of blood spurted from the wound. After dodging with an elegant sidestep, Zun Zun stepped on the blood again.
Without hesitation, the light sword pierced into the Cardinal of Lust's back, where her head used to be, and emerged from her chest, inflicting another fatal wound on an opponent who should have been dead. But even that wasn't enough to stop.
"Light of Saber!"
Kicking the pierced body up, Zun Zun chanted loudly with full momentum, and violent lightning crazily poured into her body, colliding like a balloon being inflated, then exploding into fragments.
Pink chunks of flesh and vivid red blood stained the entire street, making the scene even more hellish than the one in front of the City Hall. Destroyed to this extent, she definitely couldn't be alive, right?
—Zun Zun wouldn't set up such a flag, and her magic power hadn't faded either. Rather, it had become even more vigorous.
"Ah, ah, ah... That's really excessive."
A fluttering voice came from the other side, it was the head that Zun Zun had cut off at the beginning, she stared straight at Zun Zun, lying on the ground with a happy look on her face as she watched Zun Zun's reaction.
"No matter what, you usually wouldn't go this far, right?"
"Too bad, I'm not a normal person."
Zun Zun spread his hands.
At the same time, he looked at the Fairy Dragon in the sky, signaling her to come back. That one attack was enough to confirm that the Cardinal of Lust couldn't be killed by any damage-type skill.
Not even the Fairy Dragon's flames.
"That's really strange. Right now, I should be enticing you with the face you like the most, am I wrong? Or are you perhaps the type who expresses love by hurting the other person?"
"I told you, I don't look at faces."
Inside the severed head of the Archbishop of Lust, something stirred. A black flesh, that shouldn't have been there, overflowed, constantly shifting before stretching out into limbs, becoming almost the same… no, transforming into a young girl.
“What about the scattered pieces of flesh over there?”
“I don’t need them anymore.”
Casually discarding parts of her own body, those limbs and pieces of flesh turned into black liquid, emitting a white mist before disappearing completely.
“Speaking of which, you cut off my head without any hesitation, didn’t you?”
“The moment I confirmed you as an enemy, the words 'show mercy' ceased to exist in my dictionary.”
“Haha, a satisfying answer.”
Against such a thick-skinned, incredibly resilient opponent, there were only a few methods to deal with her. He didn’t know if the Archbishop of Lust had reached the point of being able to revive from a single drop of blood; if that were the case, it would truly be terrifying.
“Right now, being frozen, being broken down to the point of no recovery, or even being thrown into another dimension… I want to ask, if you can’t breathe, will you still live?”
“Of course. Something as trivial as breathing? This lady has already overcome that weakness!”
“As expected.”
The newest novels are at 69shuba!
“How wonderful it would be to despair upon realizing you can’t kill your opponent. You truly are a piece of trash flesh that never gives up. But, even with such good momentum, can you do it?”
The Archbishop of Lust also looked at him provocatively.
Not giving up was something he learned from Tozaki Yosuke. No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation, that guy would always overcome the difficulties in unexpected ways.
“Can I do it… you, you remind me of someone else.”
“Oh? Don’t tell me, is it the type of older woman that makes people’s hearts flutter, causing them to drool uncontrollably?”
With just a single sentence, the Archbishop of Lust guessed almost correctly.
It had to be said, she could indeed see through people’s hearts.
Zun Zun didn’t deny it, smiling as he said, “Ah, she was the first person I fought with my life on the line, someone I found incredibly troublesome, someone who would revive no matter how many times I killed her, and someone who was incredibly obsessed with me and… similar to you.”
Hearing this, the Archbishop of Lust narrowed her eyes, the smile completely gone from her face. Zun Zun then slowly spoke the person’s name.
“Elsa. Elsa Granhiert, she was also called the Bowel Hunter.”
“…Some trash flesh from who-knows-where, don’t recognize her.”
Liar.
The Archbishop of Lust was clearly the mother of Elsa and Meili, but it was possible that she had too many children and simply didn’t remember them.
“It doesn’t matter, I didn’t think you would remember anyway.”
“What, do you want me to praise your efforts, clapping for you? Or, do you want me to reminisce about her, boo hoo hoo… and cry for her on your behalf?”
“No, it’s just that I used an ability to kill her back then, and it can also kill you. I have to say, it’s really too coincidental.”
The most beautiful smile appeared on Zun Zun’s face.
Suddenly, his two light swords disappeared.
But the threat didn’t disappear in the slightest, instead becoming even more intense. An invisible wind constantly swirled and gathered around him, as if some great weapon was about to be unleashed. Even the Archbishop of Lust noticed the danger, the smile completely gone from her face.
“You piece of trash flesh, do you think this lady will obediently let you do as you please? Die, you piece of trash flesh!”
She rushed forward violently, a giant wolf head on her left shoulder, a lion’s head on her right shoulder, a giant serpent for a left leg, and an eagle’s beak for a right leg, a bizarre shape even more disgusting than a Chimera.
But before the Archbishop of Lust could get close, she was intercepted by a Spirit Dragon covered in flames, and a mouthful of flames landed on her body.
“Get out of here, minced meat of a beast!”
The Archbishop of Lust, engulfed in flames, quickly burned away her entire body, but at the same time, her body broke through the limits of the human form, becoming gigantic. Her flesh became obese with a momentum that couldn’t be compared to the deformations so far, and then a black dragon appeared.
Almost the same size as the Spirit Dragon, the two dragons wrestled together in mid-air.
Although similar in size, the Spirit Dragon was still superior, and fierce flames continuously scorched the black dragon’s flesh, tearing it to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, Zun Zun focused on condensing the invisible sword, the dangerous aura becoming even more intense.
Just as it seemed the Archbishop of Lust could no longer stop him, suddenly the controlled gates of the Water Gate City were opened, and a huge torrent of water from the outside world surged in. Streets and buildings were swallowed by the water, and the screams of many civilians could be heard in the distance.
Upon seeing this, the Archbishop of Lust immediately abandoned the black dragon’s body, transforming back into a young girl from her chest, simply falling into the water and disappearing.
This scene, as if specially prepared to save her, unfolded before Zun Zun’s eyes. If it were a normal person, they would have certainly felt they had missed their chance.
“But, it’s a pity.”
Sweat appeared on Zun Zun’s forehead as he struggled to raise the invisible sword in his hand.
“This move isn’t that simple. Also, I lied to you. After seeing you turn into a mature woman, I wasn’t as calm as I appeared on the surface, but was instead angrily furious.”
The uncontrollable rage caused his eyes to glow with an incomparably frightening red light, enough to make any child cry.
—Let’s see who’s tougher!
The invisible sword suddenly swung down!
