“Drink it!!”

As Fang Zheng swung his sword, the space in front of him instantly shattered, and then several flying pieces of paper emerged from it and scattered in all directions.

"Al!"

"Understood, Master! Connection completed, start recycling!!"

As he spoke, Al stretched out his hand, and then he saw the flying pages of the book being taken back into Al's hand, turning into a white light and disappearing.

"call……"

Fang Zheng put down Frostmourne and looked at Al beside him, who smiled smugly at him.

"You are amazing, Master. You are worthy of me."

"When will this end..."

Fang Zheng didn't look happy at all when he heard Al's praise. On the contrary, he pressed his forehead helplessly and sighed softly.

After that, Fang Zheng reached an agreement with Tyrant Liuli. Tyrant Liuli allowed Fang Zheng to use the mechanical dragon, but there was a condition - that was to destroy the Black Sanctuary. According to Tyrant Liuli, their Tyrant chaebols have ruled Arkham City for generations, but the deepest darkness under Arkham City is the Black Sanctuary, and the most difficult thing is the magicians in the Black Sanctuary. They also have powerful magic books and can summon similar robots. This is why Tyrant Liuli's grandfather created the Demon Slayer.

According to Badao Liuli, if Fang Zheng can completely eliminate this mysterious cult organization, then it is not impossible for her to give him the Demon Slayer as a reward.

So Fang Zheng began to track down the evil cult organization of the Black Sanctuary - it should have been like this. But El told Fang Zheng a piece of news that made him despair, that is, before El came to this city, she was once blocked by the great magician of the Black Sanctuary. Although she managed to escape, the pages of the book on her body were also scattered to every corner of the city during the attack. Only by recovering them all, El could truly exert the power of the "Book of the Dead".

The Black Sanctuary is also searching for and snatching these pages...

When Fang Zheng first heard this, he thought it sounded so familiar.

Then I changed my mind and thought - Damn, isn't this the Clow Card? ! !

But this thing is much scarier than the Clow Cards.

The reason is simple. As we all know, the Book of the Dead is a magic book created by Abdullah Alhassad - it records in detail information about gods and ancient species such as the Old Ones, Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath, and Tsathoggua.

Just like each card in the Clow Cards will trigger a phenomenon representing the properties of the card itself after being scattered around, think about what would happen if the pages recording Shub-Niggurath or Cthulhu were scattered somewhere...

This is simply a Cthulhu horror movie.

And it's a TV series.

Compared to the cuteness and fantasy of Sakura Kinomoto recovering the Clow Cards, this is simply too dark. However, as the Cardcaptor, Fang Zheng must also pick up the magic book that hides the power of darkness and fight to recover the pages... How desperate this must be.

Fang Zheng felt that if he were a human, his SAN value would have been lost long ago.

If this is an animation, it should be like "Cardcaptor Sakura", when the card triggers an event, Fang Zheng will deal with it, defeat the book page after a battle, and then recycle it - this way an episode ends. If everything goes well, it can be written for 50 or 60 episodes, and then the book page will be transformed into a Sakura book page, and then evolve into a transparent book page. It won't be a problem to have a second or third season... Well, this is all nonsense.

As a prophecy spell, Fang Zheng certainly didn't need to be so passive. In fact, relying on the guidance of the prophecy spell, he had already recovered most of the pages that had not had time to cause trouble. As for the small number of pages that did cause trouble, Fang Zheng naturally dealt with them as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

"You are worthy of being my master. I didn't expect that in such a short time, most of the pages have been recovered."

Compared to Fang Zheng who felt exhausted, Al looked quite happy. After all, being able to recycle book pages so easily was a good thing for her.

"I am a prophecy mage after all. Finding things is my specialty."

"I never thought there was such a vast world out there... No, strictly speaking, this is only natural."

Fang Zheng did not hide his identity and background from Al. The other party was the original author of the Book of the Dead and knew a lot about this subject. So after listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, Al immediately understood most of it.

When it comes to understanding strange situations, people on the magic side are far more optimistic than those on the science side.

"How many more pages are there?"

"Not much, probably only a small part... I should be able to collect them all in two or three times."

"That's good."

Fang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Al's answer.

"Then let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go back to the hotel to rest."

Since he had reached an agreement with Badao Liuli, Fang Zheng naturally asked her to reimburse the investigation expenses. Although Badao Liuli was very unhappy about this, she still nodded in agreement. So Fang Zheng decisively took Al to live in the most luxurious hotel suite here, and every day he ate and drank in high-end restaurants all over Arkham City in the name of investigation.

Although Badao Liuli's face turned pale every time she saw the bill, it had no effect on Fang Zheng at all.

After all, it's only natural to pay such a handsome guy a little money when he works for you.

A guy as handsome as him can make money just by relying on his face.

"Um……?"

However, just as Fang Zheng walked out of the alley, he suddenly stopped and looked forward.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Looks like we have a visitor."

As Fang Zheng was talking, a figure quietly emerged at the exit of the alley. It was a young man with long golden hair and eyes, wearing a black tights. Not only that, through his open clothes, one could even clearly see his eight-pack abs.

“……!”

The moment she saw the blond man, El suddenly became nervous. She took a few steps back and stared at him vigilantly.

"Be careful, my Lord, this man is dangerous!"

"Just a blonde sissy, how dangerous is that?"

Fang Zheng snorted softly, then looked at the other person.

"Hello, sissy with eight-pack abs, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, this is probably the first time we meet, Mr. Yuuki Masaru."

However, facing Fang Zheng's question, the other party seemed quite calm and slowly raised his hand.

"I will also tell you my name. I am the Grand Mage Tyrion, a man who pursues the truth of magic."

"Be careful, my Lord!"

At this time, Al also spoke hurriedly.

"This man is the Great Mage of the Black Sanctuary!"

"I see. The other Boss is here to die."

Fang Zheng silently drew out Frostmourne.

"That's perfect. It saves me the trouble of looking for you. Since you are here, why don't you stay here?"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zheng flashed in front of the blond man, wielding Frostmourne in his hand. Facing Fang Zheng's blow, the blond man smiled complacently and calmly, then raised his right hand and faced Frostmourne...

“Aaaaaaaaa——!!!”

The next moment, accompanied by a scream, the blond man flew backwards and hit the wall on the other side heavily. His right arm had turned pitch black, like a piece of rotten and swollen flesh after frostbite.

"Hahahaha, how is it? Isn't it very interesting?"

Fang Zheng was holding Frostmourne with a smile on his face, staring at the enemy in front of him with a cold smile. Since they met, he had guessed the reaction of this sissy from the pretentious smell of the other party, so he deliberately restrained the undead aura of Frostmourne to launch the attack. Fang Zheng thought that since the other party dared to appear in front of him, he must be quite confident in his own strength.

In this situation, if he were to launch an attack rashly, the sissy who thought highly of himself would definitely try to show off his strength to intimidate him.

So Fang Zheng put on an arrogant attitude, and then chopped up with the restrained Frostmourne.

As expected, this sissy idiot not only did not dodge, but on the contrary he planned to "teach him a lesson", so at the moment of contact, Fang Zheng released the power of Frostmourne without hesitation - when the sissy felt the undead power suddenly released from the big sword in front of him, the expression was really funny.

Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't taunt like an idiot boss and wait for the other party to explode and kill him. At the moment he spoke, he raised his sword again and slashed at the other party. The other party barely dodged the previous attack, but at this moment his body had been corroded by the cold air of Frostmourne. Fang Zheng didn't think he had any means to fight against him.

However……

"MASTER!!"

Just when Fang Zheng was about to kill this sissy, suddenly, a voice sounded from his side, and then a girl wearing a black dress, who looked very similar to Al, appeared out of thin air. She clenched her right fist and swung it towards Fang Zheng. As the girl moved, a bright red magic circle appeared in front of her, and a huge steel fist burst out from it and hit Fang Zheng.

"boom!!!!"

There was a loud crash, and the shock wave caused the entire alley to collapse and spread. Dust flew up in all directions and was then blown away by the strong smoke.

The bright red Iron Fist stopped just a hair's breadth away from Fang Zheng, and a silvery metal dragon emerged from the air. It stretched out its claws and held down the fist tightly, staring coldly at the girl in front of it. And right in front of the Iron Fist, Fang Zheng held Frostmourne with both hands and thrust it firmly into the chest of the blond, eight-pack-abdominal, sissy.

“Ah…ah…!”

It seemed that even the blond sissy himself did not expect this to be the outcome. He stared at Fang Zheng with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your back-and-forth service to the audience. Since you've volunteered to die, then just go and die obediently!"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pulled out Frostmourne with all his strength. As the pitch-black blade was pulled out of the body of the blonde sissy, at the same time, the soul chains bound his soul, pulled it out of his body, and then turned into a gust of cold wind and was sucked into the blade of Frostmourne.

"How is this possible? MASTER!!!"

Seeing this scene, the girl in the black dress screamed immediately. However, before she could make any further move, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at her. Then countless tentacles condensed from shadows instantly sprang out from under her body, binding her tightly and pulling her into the dark bottomless abyss in the blink of an eye.

"call……"

Fang Zheng put down the Frostmourne in his hand, and the metal dragon disappeared. Only the body of the blonde sissy was lying in front of him, without a sound.

"I never thought you could defeat him so easily..."

At this moment, El also walked over and looked at the corpse of the blonde sissy in front of her with surprise. She knew how powerful the other party was. After all, she was defeated by him when she was driving the Ghost Mechanical God. And now, he actually died in the hands of a human?

Although according to Fang Zheng, he is not considered a human being...

"He's just the leader of a cult. It's easy to deal with him, isn't it? If he had come here in a mecha from the beginning, it might have been more troublesome. Who can I blame for pretending to be an idiot?"

Fang Zheng shrugged and snorted coldly.

Are you kidding me? Who is he? If you have to fight to the death to deal with such a guy, then why bother dealing with Chaos and being a god? Just go home and celebrate the New Year.

Having said that, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at the body of the golden-haired sissy again.

"That's good. We can take this guy's body and report it. I think Miss Badao won't have any objection to us reimbursing the bill this time."
