Chapter 104 - A Yandere Wife's Strength Surges!
Chapter 104 - A Yandere Wife's Strength Surges!
From their builds, Kyoya could tell that they were men with strength out scaling him for real! Their bodies were exuding enough aura to make Kyoya sweat profusely. Adding their black robes that hid their features, the group of five men successfully managed to bring out some fear from the husband and Josef.
However, Kyoya would never let his wife go.
He was ready to fight despite his shallow equipment!
"Why did you come here?"
"You have awakened the tablet of Lord Ejolle. It's enough for us to take you down."
As the man in front spoke, the whole group rushed forth!
It was somewhat strange, though. Why was the leader speaking with slightly quivering audible in his voice? The husband pondered that, then, with ordinary knives from the 2nd floor, his whole body was charged to intercept the assassins or whoever they were!
His wife was behind, ready to step into the house if necessary.
As for Josef, he was actually closer to the doors! He felt like the misfortune had befallen onto them, but it didn't mean Josef was not ready to fight. He reached out for the stones with increased weight, then pitching began!
'If they are only a few floors stronger, then there is still a chance! But if the disparity is too big…'
Josef did his best to stay positive.
However, when his stone just shattered to the thousand pieces upon a hit, Josef's one foot was within the house's insides. It was just a body of the adventurer or maybe equipment, but whatever it was didn't matter. The fact that it just popped off like nothing was too shocking.
Then, the voice of the husband rang out!
"UHHHH!"
His stomach got hit strongly by the leader's punch. The thing was that Kyoya didn't even charge for a long time as those adventurers were that fast. He didn't use his speed to the fullest because he couldn't do so! Nothing could be done against 20th-floor adventurers as mere 5th!
Furthermore, with the punch sinking into his stomach, Kyoya puked a lot of blood as the corrosive feeling spread around his torso. Before that, it felt like an explosion shattered his organs and stomach from within…
Nearly falling unconscious because of that, Kyoya bit his lips and did his best to distance himself.
It was only possible because the leader knew about the threat hidden somewhere else. His focus and fear were what allowed Kyoya to distance himself.
He struggled while retreating backward, and then his mind shook from that last punch. It felt like his vision blurred momentarily with his body falling slowly, but when the lightning passed through his sight, not only his blurred vision became clear anew, Kyoya found himself standing perfectly fine!
If not that corrosive effect on his stomach, then the husband would've been looking fine as well. But the hands of the leader in black robes were clad in the dark purple gloves. Those gloves had poisoned the husband!
"S-shit…"
Unlike the husband, the leader couldn't speak at all. He already had a hole in place of his heart, his body falling backward.
What was worse was that the person who killed him was so fast that her lightning's momentary sounds could only be heard in the vicinity. When it became a tad louder, another man in a black robe fell with a hole in his body!
And when the third man fell onto his back…
"..."
Rosa found herself pinned down to the ground.
It was because the dead bodies of the man in black robes began eliciting some kind of poison! The poison of one was not enough to stop her, but Rosa could no longer hide due to her speed when the number hit three.
"Concept Poison."
In the next second, the dark purple chains wrapped itself around Rosa's wrist. Luckily enough, she managed to sacrifice her less dominant hand! And soon, her eyes spotted a white-haired woman pulling herself closer as if using those chains like a snake.
It was a sight that would accend many hearts of the male's counterpart!
"Those people were dying so fast I found it strange. Now, I see why."
"Hi! Haaa! I didn't really want to go out yet, you know?"
Possessing an enthralling figure, Miss Chloe appeared in front of everyone's eyes! Her free hand reached for her white hair to play with it slowly while the rest of her forces began surrounding the husband's party!
Both of these adventurers were looking far different compared to those that Kyoya had seen.
He wasn't looking at their figures and pretty faces that exuded mature and too appealing charm, but the equipment that was reeking off with the word prestige.
Their backgrounds were indeed different, and so Kyoya felt like he stepped into some shit!
"The usual plan was to kill this guy, but I changed my mind."
"What could shortie such as you think about?"
Miss Chloe was a short woman, around 165 cm. It didn't take anything from her, and she could entice many with her mature vibes. However, when Rosa spoke that, Miss Chloe's eyelashes flapped with slight anger.
It was because she just wanted to propose something for Kyoya! Thus, she had to change her approach.
"I will be taking this guy with myself to my house."
"No, you won't take the husband."
"Hah?"
Boom!
Before Rosa could correct herself, the husband's house's doors flew past her and even reached Miss Chloe, who just stood in a daze. In the next movement, the already known wife left the house.
[A yandere wife!]
[A yandere wife!]
[A yandere wife!]
"XAYA! Calm down! I don't know her at all! And she saved us! Xaya!"
"A damn filth! I will kill her! Kill! Kill!"
"Stop! Stop! She saved us!"
'Wait a second.'
"Xaya, my lovely wife."
"Husband? You will be explaining yourself later!"
"No, no… Look at that white-haired woman. I think she likes me."
"Another Filth!"
[Xaya's body strength has been unlocked to match 20th-floor adventurers per her yandere wife title!]
No one could seal the wife!
"Oh, man… So you were already backed by someone? That's a nice turn of events! Haha!"
The last man who had been sent to protect the husband from the shadows made an appearance. He sat down near Kyoya and patted his shoulder like a good bro. Then, Plutos gestured to Josef to join in.
In the next second, the three men sat down in a row to look at the battle of three… women…
"I have drinks."
"Oh, thank you."
"Thanks, I am Kyoya. Nice to meet you."
"Ah, I'm Josef. Nice to meet you."
"Plutos here. One of the newbies like you, but I already hit the 20th floor thirty years ago. Still feeling like a newbie, though, as all I do is follow others."
"It took you a while then?"
"Hmm… I think my speed was above the average, the husband! Haha! By the way, these two are way better than me. I think it took five years for Rosa to hit the 20th floor. But she also had to stop climbing because of family matters, so she has been doing everyday stuff for more than ten years. A pity, I would say."
"So it's Miss Rosa then. What about that white-haired? Is she known?"
"Her name is Chloe. A talented woman, but she is so lazy no one really heard much about her. It took her more to climb up to the current strength, but you know, they say she has never tried at all. It would mean then that she had been forced by her family to grow in strength for more than forty years."
""Oh.""
The three men then sucked on the straw to drink what tasted like one of Kyoya's previous world's energy drinks. It tasted excellent, but more importantly, Kyoya couldn't feel the effects of the leader's punch anymore.
It was only a cover, though, something similar to him tricking his body!
"What about your wife?"
"..."
The husband couldn't tell that his wife was the oldest here. If Xaya knew that he knows her age, then the husband himself would get punched worse than a little ago! He made an awkward expression, then…
"It's a little complicated."
"Please, believe in him."
Josef even chimed in to ascertain.
This made Plutos just laugh out loud as he had seen Xaya acting… the way she usually acts and even worse.
"It's okay, haha! I think I can understand a little."
Strangely enough, the surrounding black-robed men didn't feel like disturbing the three drinking men. Instead, they turned their eyes to three women… whose auras were already visible!
"""""Scary…"""""
