Chapter 81: 081 First Kill Second-turn

Translator: 549690339

50 miles outside of Pink City.

With a “thud”.

The Pighead Clan across from Dean McKenzie noticed him instantly and swung their one and a half meter long single-handed axe directly at his forehead.

The [Holy Light Ring]in Dean McKenzie’s hand lit up instantly, and effect 2[Holy Light Protection]automatically activated. The familiar embrace of a strong man instantly appeared.

However, just as the arms of the strong man opened up, before he could embrace Dean McKenzie, the holy light in front of Dean shattered.

The single-handed axe fell on Dean McKenzie’s forehead, sending him flying as fresh blood gushed out of his forehead.

The Pigman across, seeing Dean McKenzie knocked off, paid him no further attention.

A one-turn Mage getting hit like that would surely be dead on the spot.

So, it turned around and grabbed a Pigmaid, ready to tear her to shreds.

At the very moment it turned around to grab the Pigmaid, a Bone Fang projectile landed precisely on the exposed area of its body.

“Poof!” The Bone Fang penetrated its lower body armor and hit the target squarely.

The Bone Fang shot right through his belly.

The agony that this pig was enduring at this moment was unimaginable.

An angry and bloodthirsty howl erupted, and its eyes turned a furious red as it went berserk.

Though it looked like it was in a rampage, it did not lose its rationality.

First, it grabbed the Pigmaid and put her behind him as a shield, then activated a skill similar to a dash, dashing over twenty meters in one breath.

With this distance put between them, the Pigman’s heart immediately settled.

Though it couldn’t figure out why a one-turn Necromancer could survive his attack.

That attack, even though it had exhausted him, had at least six to seven hundred Attack power. How did the Necromancer withstand it?

It also didn’t understand why Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang skill had such a far reach, being able to hit a target forty to fifty meters away, not to mention its horrifying damage that could pierce his armor and pass right through him.

But who cares!

He has already run a distance of seventy to eighty meters away, with a Pigmaid behind to block for him.

At this distance, regardless of whether it’s the Bone Fang or the Bone Spear, neither could penetrate through the Pigmaid, let alone hit him!

Feeling safe, a relieved smile crept onto the face of the Pigman.

At that moment.

“Fwoop!”

A faint sound echoed.

A Bone Fang pierced directly through the Pigmaid’s thigh and into the waist of the Pigman.

At first, the Pigman was startled, but then overjoyed.

Scared because Dean McKenzie’s output range and damage far exceeded its expectations; yet overjoyed because the Bone Fang pierced through its kidney, no big deal, it had two kidneys after all.

The next second, the Bone Fang inside its body exploded, splitting into dozens, shooting diagonally forward in an instant, utterly destroying not only its other kidney, but also its internal organs.

The Pigman froze suddenly, then collapsed. Six or seven points of light erupted from its body.

At the same time, the system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.

[You have successfully slain[Carter Becky] (Excellent Template) (Level 60)!]

[Your level has increased to 24, Spirit has increased to 136.2, Mana has increased to 2662!]

After seeing the system prompt, confirming that the opponent was indeed dead, only then did Dean feel safe to approach.

[You have successfully used Extraction on [Carter Becky], gaining 8 points of Strength, 2 points of Physique, and one piece of Excellent Template fragment!]

The moment he approached, Dean McKenzie took a shot at the corpse first, then collected all the light points, opened the Gate of Bone, and threw in the light points, the corpses, and the barely alive pigmaid.

Afterwards, he shut the door, found some firewood, and set the surrounding forest ablaze.

Dean McKenzie wasn’t certain if anyone from Pink City could track him, nor did he know how to elude trackers, so he used this simple but brute method to avoid being tracked.

After setting the forest afire, he quickly fled the scene and found a small stream nearby to wade several kilometers inside.

After doing his best to eliminate his scent and traces, he released a few dogs to keep watch, then he entered through the Gate of Bone.

“Bang!”

Just as Dean McKenzie entered the Gate of Bone, a figure rushed at him seemingly to subdue him, but instead collided with Dean’s Bone Shield and took a tumble.

It was the pigmaid.

Dean’s eyebrow raised at the sight: “Well, I have to say, your Pigman Clan is astonishingly resilient. The last one took such a heavy hit and could still handle several wrestles with my Bone Fang.

And you, despite being severely injured, are ready to ambush me so quickly.

Quite remarkable!”

Hearing Dean’s voice, the pigmaid froze. She did not know that it was Dean who saved her when she was on the brink of death, otherwise she would not have attempted an ambush.

However, seeing Dean now, her expression was not any brighter.

Partly due to the injury, and partly because she had some grievances against him.

“Why is it you? Didn’t you leave?”

Dean had an idea of what her grievances against him were. In her eyes, he probably seemed like a complete jerk.

She wasn’t alone, even Dean himself felt that his previous actions were somewhat excessive.

But Dean felt wronged.

He had been prepared to be set up but no one would set him up!

“Well, I had a little misunderstanding with the princess before, I thought she wanted to use me as a shield which caused me to act that way.”

Dean lightly explained while scratching his nose, and then asked about the matter he was most concerned about.

“By the way, what happened to the princess? Why did everything suddenly turn out this way?”

“All because of you!”

“Because of me?”

Dean’s face changed immediately: “Wait, you cannot just randomly pin the blame on me! At most, I was a bit of a jerk without realizing it. How could that possibly trigger such a big incident?”

“It’s because of you!”

Then, the pigmaid angrily said to Dean: “If it wasn’t for you urging the princess to arrange this matter today, they wouldn’t have set a trap for you in advance. The princess wouldn’t have to kill that guy from the Becky family to save you.

She wouldn’t have to reveal her power either.

Even if her strength was exposed, it wouldn’t necessarily be this troublesome and there would still be room for maneuver.

But the princess was worried that once something happened, the Becky family would surely want your life, so she sent you out of the city in advance. This completely cut off any possibility of reconciling the conflicts between the princess and the Becky family. Plus, the provocation by the grand princess led to the war today.”

Dean listened to the pigmaid talk, his brows were furrowed deeply.

Even though it was just a short piece of speech, it gave Dean quite a lot of complex information.

However, he was not interested in the struggle in Pink City at this moment, nor did he have any desire to argue whether or not this was really his fault.

What he wanted to know now was, after triggering this plotline, what should he do next?

“I need to go to the Tempest Woods next, where there’s one of the princess’s direct troop. If I can contact them, we might be able to save the princess!”

“Deal! I’ll escort you there!”

Without any hesitation, Dean nodded!
