Chapter 257

Splurt!

The sharp weapon pierced through flesh, causing warm blood to splatter into the sky.

Accompanied by the insertion of the sharp dagger into his abdomen, Sherlocks entire body was propelled backward by the figure that had darted into his embrace. He staggered, heavily cras.h.i.+ng into the unyielding wall.

It was the wall of the ICBM chamber that was currently being activated.

Sherlock, who had initially intended to board the ICBM to leave, was now being pushed into the chamber in a fatally wounded state due to the impact.

Drip

Warm blood began to drip down, dyeing the chambers floor crimson as excruciating pain shot through Sherlocks nerves. His pair of unfocused eyes trembled slightly.

At that moment, it was as if Sherlock had suddenly seen something, and he stared blankly at the figure before him.

There, Fang Li maintained the posture of plunging the dagger into Sherlocks abdomen and rus.h.i.+ng into his embrace, meeting Sherlocks gaze.

Time seemed to freeze at this instant.

The next second, bloodstains appeared at the corner of Sherlocks mouth, and he muttered, almost speaking to himself, Extreme Death Seven Nights?

Thats right, Fang Li spoke indifferently. This technique is called Extreme Death-Seven Nights.

Extreme Death-Seven Nights.

That was the highest secret of the Nanaya a.s.sa.s.sination Technique, an ultimate skill that was sure to kill the opponent once activated.

It manifested in two steps.

One: Throwing a weapon at the opponent.

Two: Leaping to the opponents head.

However, this ultimate skill was naturally not as simple as that.

Though it seemed like just a straightforward weapon throw, it involved concentrating the users entire power into the strike, channeling the force of an all-out body impact into the weapon, which then launched an extremely powerful attack when thrown.

The attack released at this moment possessed enough force to crush anyones internal organs. Even a Vampire with an undying body, when hit by this move, would still suffer severe injuries.

Simultaneously, the user leaped above the opponents head and attacked with the technique of Flas.h.i.+ng Scabbard, striking barehandedly.

This resulted in a scenario where it was almost as if two people were attacking the enemy simultaneously from different directions.

If the opponent defended against the weapon attack by the user then they would be hit at a vital point by the weapon, which was thrown with tremendous power, resulting in immediate death.

If the opponent defended against the thrown weapon, the user would snap the opponents head, resulting in the same outcome of instant death.

Whether successful or not, after this move was used, the thrown weapon would magically return to the users hand, similar to Gun Magicians use of Guns.

Fang Li could only unleash half the effectiveness of Extreme Death-Seven Nights.

Because Fang Li had not yet mastered the ability to synchronize the leap after throwing the weapon, he used Flas.h.i.+ng Scabbard to attack while his body had not regenerated new power.

Therefore, after successfully throwing the weapon, Fang Li had to rush toward the opponent at the fastest speed possible within a certain timeframe.

As a result, Sherlock successfully defended against the thrown dagger, but he was unable to react to Fang Lis charge as he was already exerting all his strength in defense.

By the time the Moonlight Dagger was flicked, the sharp dagger, now under the effect of Extreme Death-Seven Nights, had returned to Fang Lis hand like Gun Magician, becoming the lethal weapon for the fatal strike.

If it were the complete version of Extreme Death-Seven Nights, perhaps it wouldnt be this complicated, Fang Li murmured, It seems this time, Ive won, Sherlock.

Sherlocks unfocused eyes trembled once again.

Thud!

At this moment, the ICBM, which had been ignited for a while, finally, under a burst of propulsive light, soared into the sky with intense vibrations, resembling a rocket taking off. Fang Li and Sherlock were propelled skyward together.

A powerful rush of air pressure suddenly surged into the cabin from the open door, filling the entire compartment.

From behind, the strong wind pressure caused Fang Lis figure to waver, and he tightly gripped the dagger embedded in Sherlocks body, preventing himself from being carried away by the air currents.

However, Sherlock suddenly extended his hand, grasping the Moonlight Dagger that was embedded in his abdomen.

The final moment, not only were my deductions overturned, but I was also defeated? With bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, Sherlock chuckled softly. What a splendid parting gift.

I only wanted to settle things with you, Fang Li fell silent for a moment, then sighed after a while. This way, the debt you owed me is canceled.

Thats really great, Sherlock chuckled lightly. Shortly afterward, he said one last thing, Take care of Aria for me.

With that, Sherlock placed the Knights sword from his hand into Fang Lis outstretched hand and forcefully withdrew the dagger lodged in his abdomen.

Spurt!

Another sound of tearing flesh resounded. The dagger, soaked in crimson blood, left Sherlocks body.

Fang Li was about to react, but he was too late.

Whoosh!

Carried by the berserk airflow, Fang Li was directly squeezed out of the cabin like a tidal wave, falling into the sea below.

As for the rocket-like s.p.a.cecraft, with a thud sound, its cabin door closed abruptly, soaring into the sky.

At this moment, the sky had just entered dusk.

The rocket-like s.p.a.cecraft transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the sky. Eventually, it turned into a star, vanis.h.i.+ng before Fang Lis eyes.

The worlds strongest and most famous detective had departed.

Only Fang Li remained, following the laws of free fall, plummeting toward the seas surface at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

The howling wind sounded in his ears.

From this alt.i.tude and at this speed, even Fang Li, if he were to fall directly like this, would undoubtedly crash onto the waters surface, which had turned harder than concrete due to acceleration, meeting a fate of broken bones.

The final moment, even his exit is so breathtaking

With a sigh like that, Fang Li descended below.

In his mind, the notification sound of the system rang out.

Completed A-Rank Side Quest, Gained 20,000 Exchange Points.

Serial Number 11273 has completed all Main Quests, and you can choose to return to the Main G.o.ds Dimension at any time or stay in the Dungeon World.

Choosing to return will initiate Quest evaluation and reward distribution.

Choosing to stay, you can remain in the Dungeon World for an additional three days.

Listening to the systems notification sound echoing in his mind, Fang Li could only smile wryly.

Could it be that I still have a second choice?

After all, not returning meant plummeting to his death.

In the next moment, Fang Lis figure completely vanished from sight.
