When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 587 - 587: 205 Catastrophe's Might, Queen Fu Massacres in All Directions【5.5k】_3

By the time Beckett felt the chilling murderous intent behind him, it was too late to dodge.

Dark Burning!

A fist enveloped in black flames struck three times consecutively, hitting the exact same spot on the back of Beckett's neck.

Beckett flew out like a cannonball, the huge impact directly collapsing half of the cave. When everything settled down, the crowd was horrified to discover that Beckett's head had been smashed into a mushy pulp, his body limp as if he had become an invertebrate.

He was dead.

This was Bai Fu's killing move—

Nong Fu Triple Punch!

Even Cecilia, who had a ton of flesh, had lost 17,432 points of Life Value after taking these three punches. How could Beckett, a wizard who was already greatly depleted in Blood Volume from burning, possibly survive after taking them?

Bai Fu looked around, her eyes emitting a fierce glow. Just standing there, she seemed like a Queen who could easily decide life and death.

Fear began to spread.

First, a Copper Furnace had died, and now Beckett was gone. The pressure on the remaining people was immense.

Could they really capture Cecilia alive?

After capturing Cecilia, if Bai Fu came to snatch her, could they protect her?

Bai Fu didn't give them time to think. The Secret Tower had dispatched six S+ level Superpower Users in total this time. Aside from Cecilia, Copper Furnace, and Beckett, three remained. If she killed another one, even if Fei Ye and her support hadn't arrived, Bai Fu wouldn't have to worry about her own safety.

With that thought, Bai Fu launched another attack.

She had absorbed 8 out of 13 Skills, just used 3, and the remaining 5 Skills, although not as effective as the ones she had just expended, could easily kill another S+ level Superpower User if used properly.

"Extreme Cold Hell!"

"Thousands of Blades!"

"Spirit Imprisonment!"

Bai Fu cast three Catastrophe-level Skills in one breath, sparing no thought of saving them.

To ensure the elimination of an S+ level Superpower User, she pulled out a stack of Rare Prayer Cards after launching the Skills.

Dark Thorns, Dark Vortex, Big Black Fu, Judge, Heavenly Falling Demon Gravel, Flying Demon Blade, Illusionary Law Ball... She threw whatever she had.

Although this onslaught was ridiculously costly, if she could successfully complete the Task, the Star Network Community and the Tidal Civilization would be the ones to foot the bill.

Foster and the others, who were planning to rescue the targeted S+ level Superpower User, turned pale, darker than the bottom of a pot, upon seeing Bai Fu throwing out so many Prayer Cards.

They couldn't imagine that the power of these Prayer Cards was much weaker than the Skills Bai Fu had used before; they believed these Prayer Cards were just as fearsome.

But what's the point of fighting?

They turned their guns around without a second thought.

If they couldn't beat Bai Fu, they might as well go after Cecilia!

"?"

Freed from the constraints of gravity, Cecilia instantly transformed into a black mist to avoid the attack, cursing while she dodged.

"Idiots, do you believe whatever Bai Fu says? If Bai Fu said the Housekeeper was also a traitor, would you believe that too?"

Of course, they wouldn't believe that, but if the Housekeeper seemed as close and intimate with Bai Fu as you do, tell us, would we believe it or not?

Foster and the rest didn't have time to care about anything else.

To survive, they had only this one bet to make; any other path seemed like certain death.

Cecilia trembled all over; she was almost unable to control herself, wanting to kill Foster and the others, but if she made a move now, she would truly have to draw a clear line with the Secret Tower.

She wasn't yet ready for that mentally. Once she left the Secret Tower, where could she go?

Cecilia's anger grew, and Foster and the others became increasingly anxious.

Unable to capture Cecilia and with more and more of their own dying under Bai Fu's assault, even those with the strongest wills were finding it hard to hold on at this point.

Isn't it better to live a little longer than to die now?

An A-level superpower user roared as he charged out from the entrance of the Superpower Well. His flight caused the defensive lines in the hearts of others to collapse as well.

"What are we waiting for, just run!"

Bai Fu didn't stop them, intentionally letting them leave, but when Foster was about to flee, she still made a move to block him.

Foster had pursued her before, and Foster was also the Fleet Commander. Killing Foster would not only release her pent-up anger but would also plunge the Secret Tower's fleet into greater panic.

"You..."

Looking at Bai Fu blocking his path, Foster was drenched in sweat.

Just as he thought, Bai Fu really had no intention of letting him go.

Foster looked around. When he arrived, he had hundreds of people with him; now, only a few dozen remained. With that few dozen, neither Bai Fu nor Cecilia could be defeated.

He was done for!

Desperation surged like a wave.

Foster clenched his teeth, "If that's how it is, I've got no choice but to use my trump card."

He took out a fingernail-sized, shiny white crystal from his person.

The moment Cecilia saw the crystal, her complexion changed drastically: "Dark Domain Insect purified toxin?"

She knew better than anyone else present, aside from Foster, how potent this toxin was. Once the toxin exploded, she could survive by continuously drawing others' life force, but what about the others? Could someone like Bai Fu handle it?

Even though Bai Fu was a Catastrophe-level superpower user, Catastrophe-level power didn't mean she was immune to poison.

If Bai Fu was poisoned to death, wouldn't her trip to Golden Valley Star have been in vain?

No, she couldn't let Bai Fu die at Foster's hand. If Bai Fu was to die, she could only die by her hand!

The moment Foster was about to crush the shiny white crystal, Cecilia struck him with Life Withering.

Foster's attention had been entirely on Bai Fu, and he never anticipated an attack from behind by Cecilia. Under the effect of Life Withering, his limbs lost strength, and he could only watch helplessly as the crystal slipped from his palm.

As the crystal was about to hit the ground, a somewhat pale hand reached out and caught it just in time.

"Cecilia?!" Foster glared at Cecilia with dying breath, "You said you weren't in cahoots with Bai Fu?"

It didn't matter anymore, it was utterly irrelevant!

Spider legs shot out from behind Cecilia and instantly pierced through Foster's throat. Under the effect of Life Drain, Foster's body convulsed violently, but he was unable to break free, and after a dozen seconds, he lost all signs of life.

With Foster's death, those from Secret Tower who hadn't chosen to flee couldn't stand it anymore, and they poured out in a frenzy.

Bai Fu didn't give chase.

Neither did Cecilia.

Actually, she quite disliked Secret Tower because many there treated her as a monster. More than once, she thought that if she had the chance, she would kill all those who called her a monster. However, she didn't do so, nor did she flee from Secret Tower because there was one special existence there, the Housekeeper.

It was the Housekeeper who saved her when she was parasitized by a spider.

It was the Housekeeper who taught her how to master the power of the spider.

Although the Housekeeper didn't give her any special treatment, during the past years, only the Housekeeper treated her as a normal person.

For her, that was enough reason to stay in Secret Tower.

But now, because of her own issues—and Bai Fu's stirring of dissension—she could no longer return to Secret Tower.

Now, she was alone, with nothing.

Oh, that's not right. She did have one thing: the debt between her and Bai Fu.

Yes, she couldn't beat Bai Fu, but even if she couldn't, she had to settle the score between them, as she no longer cared about life or death.

If she lost, she would be killed by Bai Fu.

If she won, she would imprison Bai Fu, and in doing so, she would probably never feel empty for the rest of her life, nor would she have to envy Bai Fu anymore.

"Now, are you satisfied?"

Cecilia turned around, facing Bai Fu, her expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
