Chapter 406

The Mana ropes transformed into motes of light and disappeared.

Bonbietta's eyes rolled back into her head as she fell down from the wooden pillar and directly collapsed onto the ground. Her entire body was bathed in blood. It was unknown how many times she had been shot by Feng Ye.

* Cough … gurgle gurgle … *

Blood was also flowing out of her mouth.

Although almost every part of her body had been pierced by the Mana Bow's arrows, she was still alive, and her consciousness was still present. She could still feel the pain coming from every part of her body.

Feng Ye slowly put down the Mana Bow in his hand and shook his head.

"What a terrible shot.

As expected, I'm still not used to using a bow as a weapon. "

Bonbietta made gurgling sounds. Because her throat had been pierced, she was unable to speak. In fact, she was unable to even hear Feng Ye's voice.

She was also unable to see anything. Everything was shrouded in darkness. However, the pain didn't disappear.

She wanted to tell Feng Ye that it was enough. What she was experiencing right now was even more painful than what she had experienced when she shot the two youths to death. However, she could only make gurgling sounds.

"Go back to your room."

Feng Ye looked towards Bonbietta and transmitted his voice directly into her mind. He spoke gently, "You'll be able to heal your injuries and get rid of your pain once you return to your room."

After saying this, Feng Ye casually tossed the Mana Bow to Bonbietta. He then walked into the living room and arrived at a quiet and elegant study on the second floor. He grabbed at the air with his left hand, and a book appeared out of thin air.

[On the Linear Relationship between High Density of Mana and Spiritual Pressure.]

"…"

Feng Ye expressionlessly tossed the book back into the air and took out a new one.

[Basic Construction and Reconstruction of Space.]

'Yep.

I took out the wrong book again. Let's take another one. '

Feng Ye tossed the book out again, and for the third time, he reached into the air and took out a new book.

[A Young Pig-Headed Youth Won't Dream of a Bunny Girl Senpai.]

'Yep.

I got it right this time. '

Maple leisurely leaned back in his chair and flipped open a book to read.

…

Within the courtyard.

Bonbietta collapsed on the ground.

Although she couldn't see or hear anything, she was still able to sense her surroundings. After all, she was a pure-blooded Soul Destroyer. She could sense her surroundings through Mana Particles.

"Cough … gurgling … I have to …"

She knew that if she judged herself to be a normal human, she would definitely be dead. That was because her blood had almost dried up. However, she hadn't died because of this.

So, if she didn't return to that room to heal herself, she would continue to suffer such pain. She had to return.

Her entire body had been pierced through, so she was naturally unable to stand up. In fact, she couldn't even crawl. However, she was a Soul Destroyer, and Soul Destroyers had the ability to control their bodies through Mana Particles.

"Hiss! Hiss!! "

She gritted her teeth and mobilized the spiritual particles in the surroundings, turning them into strands of spiritual particles threads to pull herself up from the ground. However, the instant movement brought about an even more intense pain, causing the spiritual particles threads she had constructed to collapse and shatter in an instant.

Turning spirit droplets into threads and manipulating one's own body like a puppet, this was the Annihilator's' Chaotic Heavenly Puppet 'ability. However, this was an extremely high level ability and not something an ordinary Annihilator could cultivate. It required an extremely high level of control over spirit droplets.

Bonbietta hadn't learned this ability before, because it required a high level of control over Mana Particles.

This wasn't something she should learn at the moment.

However.

At this moment, she had to master this ability.

"Ahhhhh …"

Bonbietta let out a sound. At this moment, she had lost her sense of sight and hearing, and had almost lost all perception of the outside world. Therefore, her thoughts were almost completely focused on manipulating the spiritual particles. It was only her second attempt, and she had already condensed a sufficiently tough spiritual particle thread!

She used these threads to connect her body, allowing her to stand up again. She then took the first step forward with difficulty, followed by the second step.

High-level Mana Particle Control.

Spirit Particle Thread Transformation.

This was a technique that ordinary knights would find difficult to master easily. Now, she had mastered it in less than half an hour, and was gradually mastering it.

"If I can survive and become a knight, I only need a year … No, I only need a month. A month, and I can become the chief knight of Yinja City …"

Such a thought flashed through Bonbietta's mind.

In just half an hour, she had mastered a power that others would find difficult to master even after years of training. This was the potential that she had unearthed in a desperate situation.

If she hadn't been reduced to such a state, she wouldn't have known that she could reach such a level and possess such frightening talent!

Indeed, I …

I can become a Star Cross Knight!

She once again strengthened this belief in her heart.

However …

Before that, she had to survive, or at least get out of her current situation.

Bonbietta controlled her body, becoming more and more agile as she walked towards the main hall of the villa. Although the pain throughout her body was still there, it didn't weaken. However, she didn't know why, but she didn't feel as much pain as before.

Not only did she have better control over Mana Particles, but her tolerance towards pain had also become stronger. She knew that she had truly grown, and it was a great growth. This growth all came from Feng Ye. If she hadn't met Feng Ye, it would have been very difficult for her to have the willpower she had now.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

She took steady steps and returned to her bedroom.

When she returned to her bedroom, Feng Ye, who was reading in the spacious study, raised his eyelids and glanced in the direction of the third floor.

He chuckled softly.

Feng Ye lowered his head and continued to read.

Bonbietta, who had returned to her bedroom, took a few steps forward, and then let her body fall onto the bed. Immediately after, the Mana in the room quickly gathered and flowed into her body.

Her injuries were quickly healed, and the bloodstains on her body quickly disappeared.

A moment later.

Bonbietta returned to her original appearance and slowly opened her eyes.

She took a deep breath, then walked to the window, raised her left hand, and clenched it. The nearby Mana Particles were instantly summoned by her and gathered towards her palm.

"This is the second stage of Mana Particle Concentration."

"I already have the strength equivalent to a Knight of Yinjia City."

Bonbietta looked at the Spiritual Droplets gathering in his palm and revealed a trace of joy.

The Grim Reaper's cultivation was to increase his Reiatsu pressure and the quality of his soul. The Annihilator's cultivation was to increase his control over Mana Particles.

The higher their control over Mana Particles, the more Mana they could absorb from the outside world. The density of Mana Particles they could gather would also be higher, and the power of their attacks would also be stronger!

Bonbietta had yet to pass the Knight's examination in Yinjia City, but she had already mastered the second stage of Mana Particle Concentration at the age of 16. This was also the highest standard that a non-Christ of Yinjia City could achieve.

Above that was the third stage of Mana Particle Concentration that a Knight Commander possessed, and then the legendary —

Annihilator Perfect Body!

If she were to switch to Void now, it would be equivalent to crossing the boundary between a normal Void and a Great Void, becoming a Great Void. She was already in a completely different realm from before.

"But I still can't win against that man …"

Bonbietta's heart sank. She clenched her fist and scattered the Mana Particles that had gathered.

She originally thought that Feng Ye's strength was at her current level. But now that she had leveled up, she realized that she still couldn't see through the barrier set up in this room. She still couldn't see through the abilities of her own body.

Even if this wasn't the power of a Annihilator, but the ability of a mutant, if she couldn't even understand it, she wouldn't be a match for Feng Ye, let alone fight him.

However.

Even if she couldn't win in a head-on battle, with her current strength, she might be able to try … assassinate Feng Ye!

Even if Feng Ye was an outstanding mutant Annihilator and had strength comparable to the Knight Captain of Silver Frame City, the gap between them wasn't that big.

Annihilators were different from Death Gods. Death Gods cultivated their own nature. If the gap between their Reiatsu was large enough, they could just lie there and let the attacks of weaker Reiatsu hit them without being injured. However, Annihilators couldn't do this. Annihilators only had extremely high defense when they used Bloodcalming Equipment.

Without Bloodcalming Equipment, they still had a human body.

They could be killed!

Feng Ye was able to use some sort of ability to give her body an undying characteristic. However, this didn't mean that Feng Ye himself had an undying body. Besides, even if he did, he would definitely have a weakness!

It would be quite difficult to escape from this place without knowing anything. Waiting for his family to find this place would be akin to sitting still and waiting for death. Feng Ye wouldn't be so foolish as to wait here forever. Even if his family really did find him, it was likely that they would drag her along with them.

As long as she could kill Feng Ye, then everything would be resolved.

In any case, she was already facing a dead end, so it was only right for her to fight for her life!

Whether or not she would fail, whether or not she would anger Feng Ye, none of that mattered. After all, there wouldn't be a situation worse than this.

It was impossible for Kaede to be on guard 24/7. There would definitely be times when he would rest, relax, and sleep. That would be her chance.

Thinking up to here.

Bombietta lowered her hand.

… …

Night fell.

Bombietta didn't take any action. She didn't know if Feng Ye had seen everything she did during the day, so she needed to be patient. At the very least, she couldn't act too quickly.

And so, several days passed by in the blink of an eye.

During the past few days, she would go downstairs to eat as usual every day. During this time, she met Feng Ye a total of five times. However, Feng Ye didn't seem to have any interest in torturing her four times, so he didn't do anything to her.

This caused her to heave a sigh of relief as she had already prepared herself to be tormented. In fact, she even felt a mysterious sense of gratitude in her heart. However, this gratitude was quickly dispelled by her resolute will.

The only time she was tormented was when she met Feng Ye at noon. Feng Ye praised her for being able to return to her room normally even though her entire body had been pierced through. He wanted to see even more scenes, so he waved his hand and severed her limbs.

Spirit Particles could be used to control severed limbs, but they couldn't completely replace them.

Bombietta, who was in a huge predicament, finally made a small improvement in her control over Spirit Particles. She used even more condensed Spirit Particles to temporarily replace her lost limbs, allowing her to return to her room and recover.

This was the ability to control Spirit Particles that was at the level of a Knight Commander. She was able to master it in just half a day. Although her other abilities, including the Feilian Kick, were far inferior to a Knight Commander, her control over Spirit Particles had already reached the level of a Knight Commander.

She was only second to a Star Cross Knight!

She even felt slightly grateful towards Feng Ye for obtaining such power in such a short period of time. However, this gratitude wasn't enough to dispel her hatred towards Feng Ye.

With this level of power, she still wouldn't be able to defeat Feng Ye in a direct battle. However, this gave her more confidence in ambushing him.

Finally.

On the night of the seventh day, she made her move.

Although she was unable to sense Feng Ye's Spirit Particles, she had already found out which room Feng Ye normally slept in through her activities.

She lowered the sound of her footsteps to the minimum and didn't cause the slightest ripple of Spirit Particles. She silently arrived in front of Feng Ye's room.

She had tried all the doors in this manor before. Although they weren't made of the most precious or luxurious wood, they were still made of excellent materials. She lightly pushed open the door without making any sound.

"There's no detection barrier … You're truly arrogant."

Bombietta took a deep breath.

She had previously checked Feng Ye's room. There weren't any detection barriers set up during the day, nor were there any at night. It was likely that Feng Ye viewed her as a prisoner who was completely unable to resist and could only be trampled upon. Thus, he wasn't on guard against her at all.

"Pay the price for your arrogance …"

Bombietta pushed the door open softly and walked in without making a sound.

What she saw was a spacious bedroom. In the middle of a large bed that was more than 2 meters wide in the dark, Feng Ye was silently lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He was covered with a thin blanket.

Bombietta cautiously walked forward until she reached the edge of the bed. She then slowly raised her hand.

She wasn't sure if Feng Ye had an immortal body, nor did she know where Feng Ye's vitals were. However, she didn't need to think about it. Now that she had the ability to control Soul Droplets as a commander, she could instantly destroy Feng Ye's entire body!

Moreover.

It was impossible to dodge an attack at such a close distance. The only way to defend against it was to use a 'Blood Equipment'. However, a Mutated Exterminator couldn't learn the cultivation method of a Blood Equipment.

Bonbietta adjusted her angle. She stood directly in front of Maple's head. If she attacked from this position, she would be able to destroy Maple's head immediately. Then, she would be able to destroy Maple's entire torso as well!

"You're lucky to die in your sleep. Just think of it as a reward for giving me this ability," Bombietta mumbled in her heart.

Bonbietta murmured in her heart. Then, her eyes flashed, and a large amount of spiritual droplets gathered in her palm in an instant, turning into a white pillar of light.

This was one of the attacks that a Mutated Exterminator could unleash with Soul Droplets. It was similar to the Ghost Path of the Grim Reaper. Although it wasn't a high rank attack, it was still extremely powerful when it was gathered by a commander rank Soul Droplets!

The pillar of light lit up the entire bedroom and instantly engulfed Feng Ye's body.
