Kaijin Fighter: So I Have to Make Monsters, So What? Chapter 664: Accidentally Clockwork

Faster than the blink of an eye, faster than either of them could react, the "Demon King" had done sothing that they had only heard of in legend: he had opened a gate to a wandering ruin.

Like any good cultivator worth their salt, the two of them had been inside wandering ruins before in order to train and get their hands on rare treasures. As such, they had been to enough of them to pick up little nuances about them, notice so commonalities in the sa way that certain bars and inns always seem to have a similar sll to them.

The mont they saw this gate open, which was just long enough for the [Malice Blood Urn] to begin falling in, they could detect that wisp of weird energy that always seed to perate in every set of wandering ruins.

That said, neither of them had the ti to appreciate the grandeur of the endless library they had seen a re glimpse of, due to having to focus on the main part of their clan’s revenge plan suddenly falling into another reality at the hands of this weird stranger.

They had no idea as to why this "Demon King" wanted their urn, but they could’ve at least had the decency until their revenge was over before stealing the main lynchpin of it all!

Unfortunately for them, the "Demon King" didn’t much care for what they wanted.

The guardsn could only shout in heartbreak as they failed to react fast enough to prevent the urn from falling in, and failed to go in after it as the gates closed as quickly as they opened.

At this point, the two of them had only two options before them.

They could either run away like cowardly traitors and save their own skins at the cost of betraying their clan and the plan, or they could try and get so well deserved retribution, obviously dying in the process due to the power gap, on the monster that destroyed their revenge plan.

Evidently, they were raised on the idea of "death before dishonor", so they chose the latter option.

Perhaps it was madness, perhaps it was desperation, but as soon as they had the chance, the two Masters of the Fallen Clan turned to attack the "Demon King", all while burning up their aether in such a way that was sure to cause them to self-destruct.

The "Demon King", however, acted as if he was expecting this course of action from the beginning.

"Hmm."

Before either of the Fallen warriors could act further, the "Demon King’s" hands moved as fast as lightning as he grabbed both of the charging warriors by their mouths.

This would’ve been the perfect mont for the Fallen warriors to blow themselves up, taking the bastard’s arms with them, but that didn’t happen. Because as soon as they attempted to circulate their aether, agitate their bodies to explode, the "Demon King" had injected them with this weird energy that caused their aether to [stutter/change!/ltdown...].

Whatever this energy was, it prevented them from going down in a blaze of glory due to their aether being unwieldy.

They couldn’t even do any basic aether strengthening.

As the two warriors struggled though, the "Demon King" simply brought the two of them closer to his face, as if he was about to whisper to them a secret. As this occurred, a third arm manifested from the demon’s [Regalia] and placed a pointed finger over it’s owner’s face in a hushing motion...which is when he actually hushed them.

*BAM!*

...

’Well that takes care of that...now what do I need to do?’

Having said what he believed an appropriately dramatic line, Zhen Liu forcefully slamd the captured enemies into each other’s heads, in order to render them both unconcious.

He had thought of snapping their necks at that mont, but he figured it’d be smarter to keep them alive for now.

One couldn’t have too many spies after all.

But with his business now done, Zhen Liu began to make his way out of the underground chamber after laying his two unconcious victims against a nearby pillar.

Zhen Liu still had one other piece of business to attend to...

’So how long until this fog and curse both disappear?’

=Well, good news is that without the urn, the cursed blood fog it released will eventually disappear like most other fogs. Also, Archanida and Lacerage have managed to make contact with your family and are now assisting the extraction effort.=

’And the bad news?’
