Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 665: IUD-Chapter 662 Face To Face

“Hū..

Hū..”

In the cool night, in Fang Li’s room, Arcueid had once again claimed the bed, lying snugly under the covers, sleeping soundly with her rhythmic breathing.

Fang Li sat on a nearby chair, also with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep in that position.

His breathing was not as pronounced as Arcueid’s; it was very quiet, and it almost felt as if he were dead, making one wonder if he would ever wake up.

Moonlight streamed through the window, enveloping the sleeping boy and princess.

Obviously, Fang Li’s group had no plans to hunt the undead tonight.

Due to the events of the day, tonight’s operations had been canceled, and instead, rest was scheduled.

Although this might lead to an increase in the number of undead that night, Arcueid’s condition had only recently stabilized.

If they didn’t take the opportunity to rest properly, it would end up being problematic in the coming time.

Besides, everyone had been going out at night and returning at dawn for several days.

With their days filled with other obligations, they couldn’t just lie in bed and sleep, resulting in daily sleep deprivation.

Therefore, it was necessary to get a good rest now before they collapse.

Therefore, tonight’s activities were canceled.

With this in mind, Fang Li, Arcueid, and even Tohno Shiki had gone to bed early.

Unless something unexpected happened, the three of them would probably sleep until morning.

However, sometime in the middle of the night, Fang Li suddenly opened his eyes and his dark colored eyes gleamed with a flicker.

Then Fang Li turned his head to look at the window.

The next moment, Fang Li saw it.

There was a blue crow perched on the window of his room.

The blue crow.

When Fang Li turned his head, the blue crow raised its head and looked back at him.

With an intelligent yet emotionless look in its eyes, it was as if the crow was saying

—-‘I am here’—-

“Pā Pā Pā…”

Soon, the blue crow flapped its wings, took off, and flew out of the window, heading straight for the outside of the Tohno residence.

Seeing this, Fang Li immediately understood the scene.

“An invitation, is it?”

With a grin, Fang Li looked at the sleeping Arcueid, then stood up and silently slipped out of the room.

Following the direction of the blue crow, he jumped into the deep night and disappeared.

…

“—-”

The deadly silence of the air felt like the breath of hell, sinking the surrounding area into an abyss with no sign of life.

The industrial area under the night seemed to reject any trace of living presence, making it impossible for anyone to approach.

This was the place where Fang Li’s party had tracked the Dead Apostle ‘Serpent’ who had attacked Nrvnqsr, only to lose the Serpent’s trail due to a large number of undead obstructing them.

Here, the blue crow appeared as if materializing from the impenetrable darkness, flapping its wings as it flew into the construction site.

Eventually, it landed on the shoulder of a man in a cloak and merged with him.

“Hu…”

Almost at the same time, a faint sound of space rupturing echoed in the silent surroundings.

A shadow like a bat flew in, approached at an incredible speed, and landed on the construction site.

“Pa…”

The sound of feet landing firmly on a solid surface echoded.

Fang Li descended from the air and stood at the front of the construction site, looking up at the tall man in black.

“You’ve come?”

Nrvnqsr turned to meet Fang Li’s gaze.

“I thought you wouldn’t dare come here alone.”

Nrvnqsr’s words, delivered without a trace of provocation, drew only a dismissive snort from Fang Li.

“If this is an invitation to a banquet, then of course I should bring a dance partner.” Fang Li said with a faint smile, “But if it’s an invitation to a survival game, then it’s only right to go alone and see who emerges victorious in the end, right?”

As he spoke, Fang Li’s gaze towards Nrvnqsr grew more profound.

Fang Li could sense that this high-ranking Dead Apostle, who was ranked tenth among the Twenty-seven Ancestors, had an indescribable aura around him.

It was as if he was a puppet on strings, completely at the mercy of others.

Seeing Nrvnqsr’s continued existence, Fang Li indifferently remarked, “So that’s it.

Everything has been taken away from you?”

Nrvnqsr did not react to Fang Li’s words.

Instead, he coldly said, “It wasn’t me who invited you here, it was someone else.

With that, Nrvnqsr stepped aside as if he had completed his task and an unknown figure appeared behind him.

“Bang—-!”

The moment the figure appeared, it forcefully stomped on the ground, its shape shooting like an arrow at Fang Li with incredible speed.

A knife as ferocious as a beast’s fang was clenched in the figure’s hand.

“Clang—-!”

With a sharp collision sound, the dagger collided with the fierce knife, creating a shower of sparks.

Fang Li had also drawn the crescent shaped dagger, intercepting the attacking knife with incredible speed.

The arcs of light from the blade reflected and illuminated Fang Li’s eyes.

The sparks flickered intensely in front of Fang Li, but he seemed unfazed, allowing his gaze to pierce through the flashes of light and lock onto the wielder of the ferocious knife.

“We finally meet.”

The Dead Apostle known as ‘Serpent’ radiated a dark and cold aura as he continued to exert power, his expression revealing a malicious smile.

“The Nanaya Clan’s wretched survivor.”

The malevolent words reached Fang Li’s ears like a chill crawling up one’s spine.

However, Fang Li continued to calmly stare at the dark and cold man in front of him, his expression unwavering.

“You must be the so called ‘Serpent,ʼ” Fang Li narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

“Or should I call you by your real name?”

“Michael-Roa-Valdamjong.”

Fang Li’s voice clearly reached the ears of the Dead Apostle named Roa.

“You’ve invited me here and greeted me with such an interesting welcome, so you must understand that now, we have only one thing left to do, right?”

A slow smile curved at the corner of Fang Li’s mouth as he spoke.

“Lowly trickster.”
