Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 611

Chapter 611: Consumed By Lust
A resounding laugh could be heard across the entire isolation dome, pausing the slaughter that was going on.

Only for a moment, however, as after laughing with their master for a second, Zeth and Nookie immediately went back to killing the remaining five adamantites.

“MOVE!” Dante shouted desperately, readying his most powerful skill to take down Shye in a single blow and break through the dome’s weak point simultaneously.

To his surprise, Shye shattered the dome’s weak point for him, creating a narrow passage that could allow at least two people to escape if they adjusted their body positions accordingly.

The next moment, however, his surprise turned into yet more fury that consumed his heart as Shye exited the dome, pulled out his legendary-tier adamantite-ranked heavy shield he obtained from the Horza Blaidde Mana Dungeon, and blocked the exit with it.

He then activated [Stoic Lv.5] to ensure he remained unmoved for ten seconds (the skill’s duration was extended due to Shye using two [Boost] charges).

Moments later, the lethally sharp dagger, which traced deep golden arcs in the air, collided with the heavy shield.

However, to no one’s surprise—not even Dante himself—the clash merely made an extremely loud clanging sound, nothing else.

Shye remained unmoved and the shield remained in place.

He didn’t even sustain any internal damage, as Dante was a scout specializing in deftness and mobility rather than raw destructive power.

“GET. THE. HELL. OUT. OF. OUR. WAY!” the goon leader shouted with each strike of his dagger, his mind going blank and his heart overwhelmed by desperation and despair.

Soon after, Mira realized they were trapped, so she dismounted from Dante’s shoulders and helped him move Shye away from the exit.

Unfortunately, none of their attempts succeeded.

Moreover, they had run out of time, as the sounds of battle from behind them had stopped, signaling that the necrollin, its puppets, and the so-called Duchess of the Dusk were already on their way to slaughter them.

“Crowley! Please, I beg you! I didn’t realize your strength before! I acknowledge that you’re superior to me! Please, let me go this time! I promise I’ll never show my face around you again!”

Of the ten seconds granted by [Stoic Lv.5], only five had passed, yet Dante was already begging for his life.

Just as he had predicted earlier, someone would be begging for their life in five seconds, though he hadn’t expected it would be him begging instead of Shye.

“Hahahaha! Didn’t you say you would make me beg for my life? Why are you begging now?” Shye mocked, gripping the handle of his shield solidly.

“Please, I admit my mistakes! I was wrong to cross you and I won’t make the same error again. Just let me go this time! I can even work for you if you want—I’m sure you could use underlings in another region.”

Upon realizing that Dante could shift from an arrogant bastard to a loyal lapdog in an instant, Shye quickly lost interest.

People like that weren’t worth anyone’s time and couldn’t be spared, as they were like venomous, vengeful snakes that would come back to bite if allowed to live another day.

“Zeth, kill that bastard but leave the woman alone for now,” Shye said apathetically, intentionally allowing Dante to hear his words.

‘Understood, master.’

Immediately upon receiving orders, Zeth acted, not giving a damn about any other human except for her master and those close to him.

“YOU BASTARD!! DIDN’T I ALREADY ASK FOR FOR–”

*CRACK* *SPURT!*

A sickening crack echoed through the isolation dome as the Duchess of the Dusk reappeared like a phantom behind the goon leader, raising one of her hooves.

In an instant, Dante’s life ended, his head crushed against Shye’s heavy shield like a watermelon, with his repugnant blood splattering across the shield and leaving Mira, who was right behind him, utterly horrified.

She couldn’t speak for a good while, seemingly losing her mind.

It was then that Shye swapped the shield for another greatsword. Shortly after, he returned inside the dome, entering through the small opening.

“H-HIIIH!!” Mira shrilled pathetically, appearing as though only a tiny bit of her sanity remained.

“M-M-Mister Crowley! Please! You must forgive me! I-I’m blessed by the gods and goddesses! I-I’m sure I could be of help! Yes! What you want me to do, I will do in an instant! Ple–”

“Mira.” Shye sternly said, rudely cutting off Mira’s words.

“Hiih!”

Terrified, the priestess could only whimper weakly, raising her arms to cover her face in a futile attempt to protect herself.

However, there was no immediate need for her to guard against harm, as Shye still wanted to give the distraught and pitiful woman a chance.

After all, her actions had been driven by desperate attempts to salvage what she could of her beloved’s body.

Shye was definitely not someone who would judge her based on her preferences, twisted or not.

Unfortunately, her next words sealed her fate, bringing immense disappointment to Shye’s heart.

“M-Mister Crowley! H-H-Hear me out! I-I’m good and extremely experienced at pleasuring men! And I’ve recently started trying women out! I can be your slave! Anything! You can make me do everything you want! I can fulfill your wildest fantas–”

*SPURT!*

Fed up with her nonsense, Shye swiftly severed her head, causing blood to spurt from her neck as her headless body fell limply to the ground, twitching.

‘Tch, some holy priestess you are. In the end, you’ve been consumed by lust. Even if I didn’t have someone by my side, I still wouldn’t entertain your filthy ideas.’ Shye sneered in utter disgust.

He then made one final slash through the air with his greatsword to clear the dripping blood before placing one sword back into the system’s inventory and sheathing the other with the sheath strapped to his back.

‘The title of ‘The Hallowed Luminescence’ would be weeping if you were allowed to succeed Venerable Exodus Fernandez.’

Without looking back, Shye rode on Zeth’s back, signaling her to incinerate the remnants of the battle.

Meanwhile, Nookie began tidying up, retrieving his prized corpse puppets and carefully storing them back in their caskets with a smile.

“Let’s go, onwards to Yon Augenn City!”
