Chapter 731 - 731 384 Satire Destruction (4000)_2

Chapter 731: 384 Satire Destruction (4000)_2 Chapter 731: 384 Satire Destruction (4000)_2 As for whether the power of the explosion was too exaggerated, it was none of Casio’s concern. After all, suspicion wouldn’t fall on him, who would suspect the severely injured victim? The final investigation determined that even if it were a bizarre sudden supernatural phenomenon, Casio wouldn’t have blown himself up.

On his patient bed, Casio moved his hands casually. The surface cracks had long since healed, just unseen due to the bandages wrapped around them.

For him, carrying out the Hunters Association’s task to get Holy Springs Water wasn’t that important anymore. What Casio needed now was to become a Shadow Hunter and directly absorb enough from the source of the Holy Springs at once.

With the wisdom rune, he, who could filter, was highly confident.

Since he could acquire it all at once, naturally he didn’t need to waste time on tasks. You need to know, the Holy Springs water Casio needed is a substantial amount. If he is to reach his limit, he also needs a corresponding amount that can saturate his body cells with a vast quantity of Holy Springs water.

Casio, being 1.9 meters tall, had about 6000ml blood in his body. Combined, the Secret Soul power and the forty milliliters of Holy Springs Water can yield one milliliter of Blood of Life, a twenty to one ratio.

If he wished to entirely transform all the blood in his body, he needed 2400 units of each mystical force. The Holy Springs Water acquired by Dark Gold Level Hunters through tasks is approximately four to five times that of the White Luminance Level, or ten to twelve units of Holy Springs Water. About 200 to 240 tasks are required, and if these are done once a month, it’d take around twenty years to completely acquire.

It’s clear that slowly executing tasks isn’t worthwhile. Even if Casio could sweep through, completing tasks at the fastest rate, that would still require a few months to half a year. Unlike the Holy Springs Water, acquiring the Secret Soul power doesn’t take nearly as long because Casio collaborates with others.

The Ghost Man is a top-level Knight Rank Marker, and there is no substantial restriction on exchanging Black Essence for Secret Soul power at the Black Rain Villa.

Unlike the Hunters Association side, where hunters of differing levels can only take on corresponding level tasks and acquire corresponding level amounts of Holy Springs Water.

However, Casio’s way of acquiring the Black Essence comes from the World of Calamities. That place is filled with dark creatures, as long as one is strong, massacring them is the end game.

Just think of his first trip there. He directly killed six alter egos of the Ash City Lord, plus a Poison Flaming Giant. It was equivalent to hunting seven fighter-level dark creatures, so you can imagine the quality of the Black Essence that could be obtained. If it wasn’t for Casio and the Ghost Man’s collaboration being delayed for a few days, Casio could have gathered most of them in just one night.

In summary, he could use his injuries as an excuse to lie in the sanatorium. With the Proof of the Soul Holders, he could venture into the World of Calamities.

Then just quietly wait for the real competition for Shadow Hunter to begin.

At this critical juncture, no one from any forces would come to bother him. If any parties came, the fecal matter from the explosion would be dumped on them whether they were involved or not.

‘Knock, knock, knock…’

Knocks were suddenly heard from the outside of his room.

Casio frowned slightly, pausing momentarily before saying: “Come in.”

Immediately, a seductive tall silhouette walked in. She had delicate features, fair skin, and between her brow, carried a natural charm.

In the air, a faint alluring melody seemed to echo, resembling a mythical siren, enticing sailors.

Casio looked at the newcomer, his brow furrowed even deeper. This type of spiritual power reminded him of the two sisters, Silver Rose and Golden Rose.

“White Rose, am I right?” The woman suddenly started speaking, her gaze sweeping over the upper half of Casio’s bandaged body. “Nice to meet you, my name is Claire. I have been assigned to protect you for a while by the order of the Chief Inspector…”

“…”

Casio was silent for a moment. He knew the woman in front of him was Sea Demon Claire, a strong competitor for the position of Shadow Hunter. She possessed formidable strength among dark gold level hunters and was stunningly beautiful.

However, Casio only wanted his peace at the moment, wishing to be left alone.

Moreover, according to rumors, Claire seemed to be the niece of the Chief Inspector. Her sudden arrival could mean she was here to supervise him, or rather, the Chief Inspector of the Dark Hunt Organization had noticed his change.

Seeing Casio remain silent, Claire squinted her eyes slightly. Her first impression of him was quite good. This hunter called White Rose seemed to have an extraordinary will, able to resist the allure of sea demons. Although it was only a passive reaction to the lowest degree, it was enough for Claire to see him in a new light. Surprisingly, she started explaining herself.

“Don’t worry, we’re actually from the same faction. The group of old hunters represented by Bloody Axe Herbert has always been supporting my uncle…”

She casually found a chair nearby and sat down slowly.

“Yes, I am competing for the position of Shadow Hunter, but I do not see you as a rival.” As she spoke, she suddenly felt that her words might hurt him, so she immediately explained, “What I mean is, my enemies are only Solomon and Soss, not you…”

As Claire saw her explanation getting more convoluted, she quickly changed the topic, her expression suddenly turning serious: “The assassination and explosion last night were most likely done by the royal family. I know Soss. Although he appears to be a lion-hearted man, he is in fact extremely ruthless, imitating the style of the royal family. As for Solomon, despite looking gloomy all the time, he’s never been known to use tricks or deception…”

“The reason my uncle sent me to protect you this time is mostly to guard against the power of the royal family. Even though they didn’t succeed last night, they might still attempt to assassinate you further.”

She continued, “You must be careful during this period. The royal family has trained suicide soldiers since they were young and can even use the assassin organization in Florence. Once targeted by them, you will face endless assassination attempts…”

“So, from now on, I will do my best to protect you. Until the competition for the Shadow Hunter is over and the royal family’s attention towards you naturally decreases. Rest assured, as long as you stay within twenty meters from me, any assassination attempt against you will be ineffective…”

Claire gave a rare smile, making her look refreshing.

Casio shook his head, looking straight ahead: “So it’s the royal family?”

Meanwhile, in Florence’s fifth district.

The Shadow Stab Organization’s headquarters, hidden within the residential area.

A bloody massacre had been taken place from early morning until dawn.

Being a top assassin organization, the Shadow Stab naturally had numerous powerful assassins, and some could even parallel the dark gold level hunters. Broken Bones, Shadow Wolf and Dark Red, who were sent out to complete tasks, were the golden assassins of the Shadow Stab Organization. With over ten golden assassins, the Shadow Stab Organization was indeed formidable for being able to station in Florence. But today, this well-known organization met its doom.

At the break of dawn, a man in a thick black robe, wearing a mask and resembling a ghost, came in killing. He held a giant scythe like Death himself. With each swing of his scythe, he lopped off numerous heads. The ground was dyed with blood, and the air was filled with the stench of butcher.

All the golden assassins stationed at the Shadow Stab Organization’s headquarters were no match for the grim reaper, failed to last even three minutes, and were brutally sliced in two by the scythe. Whenever an assassin tried to beg for mercy, they were only greeted by a ruthless blade…
