Chapter 235

Chapter 227 Escape

In a dead-end alley in East Tivyán, under Dorothy’s manipulation, Nephnis, who had the effect of bl**d-eating, struck down the louts that were attacking. Seeing this scene, Moisans could no longer hold back and attacked Nephnis directly with his fist. The speed of his punch was incredibly fast, and Dorothy immediately manipulated Nephnis to dodge.

‘This punch speed… Is he an Extraordinary Being?’

Realizing that the person in front of him was different from the louts, Dorothy became slightly more serious. She controlled Nephnis more precisely to engage in combat with Moisans.

Moisans’ punches were very fast, creating a whistling sound as they hit the air, indicating considerable force. However, his movements were not particularly agile. His speed and strength were there, but his reactions were lacking, making it easy for Dorothy to see through his moves.

‘This guy is a Thirster…’

After a few simple exchanges, Dorothy confirmed what kind of Extraordinary Being Moisans was. Clearly, he was an Apprentice-tier “Cup,” a Thirster, one of the types of Extraordinary Beings Dorothy was most familiar with.

The battle between Moisans and Nephnis continued. Their strength and speed were roughly equal, theoretically leading to a stalemate. However, in reality, Nephnis, controlled by Dorothy, completely dominated Moisans. Moisans’ attacks were easily dodged by Nephnis and then hit by Nephnis’ “morning star” weapon, causing him to cry out in pain.

Their strengths were nearly equal, but in terms of technique, Dorothy was superior at this moment. After successfully advancing to the Black Earth Tier, she engraved both the Glimmer Swift Strike Sword Technique and the Laurent Swordsmanship into her already expanded Soul Book.

Of course, to save space in the Soul Book, Dorothy did not engrave a complete set of sword techniques like Vania did, but only some basic combat techniques and experiences.

These basic techniques included steps, predicting opponents’ moves, feints, and power application techniques. They were very general combat techniques and experiences that could be used even if the weapon wasn’t a sword. Although they couldn’t reach the same level as using a sword, their wide range of use was significant. After all, a master swordsman could use other weapons effectively with rich experience, even without a sword.

Under the guidance of master-level dueling experience, Nephnis wielded the “morning star” and relentlessly attacked Moisans with punches and kicks, beating him until he was crying out and bruised. Soon, he could no longer endure and begged for mercy.

“Stop, stop! Please stop! Spare me! Ah! I won’t do it again, big sister!” Moisans, who had completely given up on attacking and could only passively defend by covering his head, cried out for mercy. Seeing this, Dorothy controlled Nephnis to knock him to the ground and then coldly said to the Moisans who was holding his injured area in pain.

“Spare you? You tried to rob me just now, and now you want me to spare you?”

“Yes… Yes, I was blind not to see that you are also a true Extraordinary Being. I thought you were just a weakling. Considering the Cup Mother, please spare me. Don’t eat me; I can be useful to you!”

Moisans pleaded to Nephnis in front of him, his words filled with fear. Clearly, he considered Nephnis to be another “Cup” Extraordinary Being. In the path of the “Cup,” there seemed to be cases of fellow travelers eating each other, so Moisans feared that Nephnis would eat him, just like Lu’e devouring Buck.

When Dorothy heard the name “Cup Mother,” she was slightly startled and quickly controlled Nephnis to respond.

“You want me not to eat you… Have you ever considered the feelings of those you eat?”

Nephnis spoke sternly to Moisans. Hearing these words, Moisans was surprised and looked up at Nephnis, his bruised face showing confusion.

“Consider the feelings of those you eat? You… You’re not from the bl**d Food faction?”

‘bl**d Food faction? What does he think I am? Combining his previous words and the name ‘bl**d Food,’ could it be referring to a faction that specifically eats humans? So, among the Extraordinary Beings on the path of the “Cup,” there are many factions?’

Hearing Moisans’ words, Dorothy felt a hint of doubt and curiosity. Her intuition told her that she might get information from this person in front of her.

“I’m indeed not from the bl**d Food faction.”

Through Nephnis’ mouth, Dorothy spoke to Moisans. Hearing these words, Moisans couldn’t help but look relieved.

“Not from the bl**d Food faction? That’s great! Sister, I’m also not from the bl**d Food faction. As you can see, there aren’t many non-bl**d Food members in the ‘Cup’ Society. We’re on the same side, so please show me leniency this time!”

Moisans continued pleading. Listening to his words, Nephnis responded by asking:

“Then which Society are you from? What method do you use to accumulate Spirituality?”

“Well… I was previously affiliated with the ‘Gao Lei Black Fist Society.’ I used the ‘Body Forging Method’ to accumulate the ‘Cup’ Spirituality. Unlike the bl**d Food method, we don’t take the ‘Cup’ from others’ flesh and bl**d. Instead, we focus on using secret methods to intensely train our bodies, making them stronger and more robust, thus producing more ‘Cups.'”

Moisans explained, and Dorothy felt surprised upon hearing his words.

‘Body Forging Method… Oh wow, so it turns out that accumulating Spirituality can be done simply by training the body. It’s not about stealing someone else’s ‘Cup,’ but rather enhancing one’s own inherent ‘Cup.’

‘And listening to their Society’s name, it’s a black boxing society? I didn’t expect extraordinary beings to come from boxers too. It’s quite fitting for the style of the Body Forging Method for accumulating Spirituality.’

Dorothy thought, then she made Nephnis smile slightly and added with a mocking tone.

“Black Fist Society? I don’t think your boxing skills are very impressive.”

“Well… This is because Sister’s skills are too high…”

“Heh, don’t flatter me. Keep going. You said you were previously affiliated with the Gao Lei Black Fist Society. Why did you leave then?”

Dorothy continued questioning. Hearing Nephnis’ words, Moisans was slightly stunned and then replied seriously.

“No, I didn’t leave the Society. The Society doesn’t exist anymore.”

“What…”

“The Gao Lei Black Fist Society was destroyed by the Placenta Sect’s Wolf bl**d Association over a year ago. I’m just a survivor who escaped.”

With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Moisans said. Hearing this, Dorothy couldn’t help but frown.

“Placenta Sect… Wolf bl**d Association?”

“Yes, don’t you know? To obtain higher quality bl**d food, they have been capturing other ‘Cup’ Societies on a large scale for a long time. Over the years, almost all the ‘Cup’ Societies in Tivyán that were not aligned with the Placenta Sect have been secretly eliminated. Not only us, but other ‘Cup’ Societies practicing different accumulation methods were also affected.”

Moisans continued, and Dorothy frowned deeply.

‘There are also ‘Cup’ Societies in Tivyán, and it’s the Placenta Sect. It seems they are not small. Lu’e was originally one of them. How coincidental.

‘Now it looks like although there are various methods of accumulating Spirituality and different factions within the ‘Cup’ Society, the bl**d Food faction led by the Placenta Sect dominates. Other factions and Societies have been suppressed or even eliminated.’
