Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 504: Frightened

By the time Fang Li’s entire group emerged from the Stolen Goods Warehouse, the sky had already turned completely dark.

“Mmm~~~” Subaru Natsuki stretched lazily, looking refreshed.

“So, is this considered a Happy End?”

As Subaru Natsuki spoke with a sense of great accomplishment, Reinhard couldn’t help but interject.

“Although I’m not sure what this ‘Happy End’ is supposed to mean, Subaru, why do you sound like you’ve solved this matter all by yourself?”

“Let me bask in this feeling for a moment, can’t I?!” Subaru Natsuki was immediately deflated by Reinhard’s comment, shouting back, “I know I didn’t contribute anything, no need for you to point it out!”

“Don’t be angry, my friend. If conditions allow, I don’t mind lending you my power,” Reinhard said with a smile, unfazed by Subaru Natsuki’s attitude.

“Although it may be modest but if it can be of help, then all the better.”

Hearing this, even Fang Li couldn’t help but retort.

“If your power is considered modest, then everyone else in this world must be completely powerless and useless.”

After all, Reinhard was known as the strongest being on this Earth and he is truly invincible in this world.

With over forty Divine Protections at his disposal, it was like he had activated over forty cheats, the perfect embodiment of the term “overpowered.”

If the Witch of Envy who had devoured half the world 400 years ago were still alive, she probably wouldn’t stand a chance against Reinhard, at most, it would be a draw.

If Reinhard were to get serious, he could probably turn the surrounding area into ruins with just one sword strike.

Without this level of power, Fang Li wouldn’t have admitted that he couldn’t defeat Reinhard directly.

Even with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and the power of the Stigma, giving it his all, there would still be almost no odds of success.

So, this Knight was truly unbeatable.

Now, this seemingly unbeatable figure was casually asking Fang Li and Subaru Natsuki, “What are your plans next?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Subaru Natsuki replied without hesitation, giving Reinhard a thumbs up and flashing a bright smile.

“Of course, we’ll follow the customary agreement and thrive in this Another World with our modern knowledge!”

“Modern knowledge? Another World?” Reinhard was somewhat puzzled.

“You’d better not take his words too seriously, otherwise, even if you had ten brains, it wouldn’t be enough,” Fang Li reminded him.

“If you’re invincible in terms of strength, then this guy is invincible in terms of imagination. In this field, no matter what, you can’t beat him. Give up.”

“Is that so?” Reinhard suddenly admired, “Truly, my dear friend, you are far beyond my reach.”

“…So…” Subaru Natsuki felt a bit embarrassed now, saying with a tone of being unable to stand it anymore, “At times like this, you’re like those aloof beautiful girls, ignoring me and then suddenly praising me so candidly, I’ll get shy too!”

Watching the interaction between Reinhard and Subaru Natsuki, Fang Li couldn’t help but laugh.

Just then, a voice called out to them.

“Um…”

The voice was full of hesitation, seemingly struggling.

Fang Li, Subaru Natsuki, and Reinhard all paused for a moment, turning their heads to look.

There, Emilia seemed to have also come out of the Stolen Goods Warehouse, her mouth slightly open, with a hesitant expression as if unsure what to say.

“Milady Emilia.” Reinhard immediately knelt on one knee like a knight, bowing his head respectfully.

“Do you have any orders?”

“No…” Emilia shook her head, glancing at Fang Li and stealing a glance at him, hesitantly speaking in a low voice, “I’ve come to express my gratitude to you.”

In other words, Emilia had come specifically to find Fang Li.

“Another…

another triggered event?” Subaru Natsuki stood in place, dumbfounded, then erupted, “Why is there no part for me again?!”

“Your part?” Emilia looked somewhat uncertainly at Subaru Natsuki and said directly, “You didn’t repel the assassin who posed a threat to me. You just stood by and watched. I have no reason to thank you, do I?”

“Guoh!” Subaru Natsuki clutched his chest, as if struck by an arrow, and collapsed on the spot.

Seeing this, Fang Li once again ignored Subaru Natsuki and only looked at Emilia.

However, Emilia’s gaze was still somewhat evasive, avoiding meeting Fang Li’s eyes directly.

Fang Li knew why.

Emilia probably thought that her resemblance to the legendary and taboo Witch in appearance and race would definitely cause fear and rejection in others, right?

After all, Emilia had experienced this kind of thing countless times so far.

In Emilia’s eyes, Fang Li’s attitude towards her should also change.

If possible, Emilia really didn’t want to get close to Fang Li.

Not for any other reason, just because she didn’t want to deliberately approach someone who was afraid of her, causing fear in the other person.

In short, she was afraid of frightening others.

Moreover, in Emilia’s view, Fang Li probably didn’t want to interact with her, or even talk to her, right?

Exactly because of this, Emilia hesitated and dodged like this.

However, her innate honesty and kindness forced Emilia to express her gratitude for what had just happened.

Therefore, Emilia still came over.

Seeing Emilia completely unable to meet his gaze, Fang Li sneered and said such a line.

“If you want to express gratitude, not looking at your benefactor isn’t something worthy of praise.”

“I know.” Emilia finally raised her head and looked at Fang Li.

Shortly afterward, Emilia froze.

It wasn’t until now that Emilia realized.

In Fang Li’s eyes, there was not a hint of rejection towards her.

“You…” Emilia couldn’t help but speak.

However, before Emilia could speak, Fang Li interrupted her directly.

“I also know what you’re thinking, but don’t ask me why or anything like that.”

Fang Li spoke as if narrating something as mundane as could be, then turned around and looked at the night scenery in the sky.

Shortly after, Fang Li said so.

“It’s just my personality, I am not even afraid of death, let alone fearing some taboo Witch.”

“Perhaps, I’m someone who will never experience fear in my life?”
