Chapter 6: The Reckless Dies in Recklessness

Translator: Lonelytree

Blaney imagined that if he searched the cabinet without knowing, the other party could use the cover of his clothes to launch a surprise attack. If he failed, he could also jump out of the window…

This was undoubtedly the best hiding place in the entire house!

Realizing this, Blaney did not hesitate and drew his sword without warning.

The sound of the sword cutting through the sheath rang out in the room.

Almost instantly, the silver sword pierced into the wooden cabinet like a knife piercing butter. Then, with a pull of the sword, the sealed wooden cabinet was cut open!

Wood shavings and rags were scattered in the air, but the expected scene of blood flowing did not appear…

Blaney frowned and was a little surprised. Did he make a mistake in his judgment? This time, was the target simply careless and left these things in the room?

Andre was shocked by his companion’s sudden attack. Just as he was about to mock Blaney for making a wrong judgment, a short sword suddenly reached out from the dark shadow in the narrow gap between the bookshelf and the wall, slashing down at Andre’s neck!

It was Lin En!

The moment Andre and Blaney found the coins and manuscripts on the table, Lin En knew that he couldn’t hide anymore.

There was no cover in the narrow gap where he was hiding. He only relied on shadows as a means of concealment.

This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous place, but the two of them had arrived too quickly. After experiencing transmigration, Lin En, who was extremely confused, had no time to find a more suitable place, let alone make arrangements. He did not even have time to pick up the parchment scrolls that had fallen to the ground.

Once the two of them realized that there was no one hiding in the cabinet and started searching the room carefully, they would soon find him.

Therefore, Lin En made his move without hesitation!

Considering the lethality of the attack, Lin En did not use the improved [Ice Blade] that he had just mastered. The damage of a short sword within three steps was far more reliable than the magic he had mastered!

He chose the moment when Andre saw the flying wood chips and was distracted!

However, this sure-kill strike missed its target. The moment Lin En attacked, a strong sense of danger surged into Andre’s heart.

Before he joined the Mage Hunters, Andre was a well-known mercenary. He had been on the edge of life and death all year round. Andre was very familiar with this feeling!

His keen intuition saved him once again. At the moment when the short sword slashed down, Andre tried his best to deflect and avoid being decapitated.

However, Lin En’s sudden attack was too fast. Even though Andre dodged it at the first moment, he could not completely dodge it. The sharp dagger slashed across his neck, leaving a deep bloody mark!

Crimson blood kept gushing out of the wound. Andre was shocked and angry. The pain in his neck warned him that he had almost died!

“Bastard!” Anger filled Andre’s heart. He swung his right hand with the blade, wanting to cut Lin En in half.

The knife was fast and heavy, and Lin En almost couldn’t react in time. However, his body naturally made a parry. Due to the collision of the sword and the knife, the sound of tearing echoed in the room.

Before this, Lin En had never had the experience of being in a sword fight. Fortunately, the original Carl was well-trained, and his muscle memory was still there.

Carl relied on this outstanding swordsmanship to intimidate the neighbors in the slums who harbored ill intentions!

However, this time, his opponent was not a bandit who lacked training but a Mage Hunter who had taken God’s Grace Potion and was far more powerful than ordinary people.

Andre’s knife skills were not perfect, but each move was vicious. After only three moves, Lin En felt a sharp pain in his thumb and forefinger, and he almost lost his grip on the short sword in his hand.

“Die!” Andre roared as he swung his long blade and knocked the short sword away from Lin Er’s hands. His left hand reached out and clenched Lin En’s throat tightly with his thick fingers.

Lin En’s face turned red, and his consciousness quickly blurred.

[Warning. The host is in a life-threatening situation. According to the Federal Intelligence Management Act, the nearest law enforcement officer will be contacted automatically…]

The sudden reminder in his mind pulled Lin En back from the abyss. A trace of hope rose in his heart.

[Warning. No signal… Warning. Not connected to the network…Please head to the highest point nearby as soon as possible, search for satellite signals, and call the Federation for help in time…]

Lin En cursed under his breath. He then remembered that he had already transmigrated and was not even sure if he was in the same universe.

‘Damn it, I should have saved up the money to buy a new ship and upgraded this stupid thing’s intelligence…’ Where was he going to find a satellite signal now?

Even if he could, could he ask the federal police to come and rescue him in a spaceship?

But at this moment, Lin En had no time for regret. The hand that was strangling his neck tightened bit by bit.

[Warning. No signal. The emergency plan was initiated. Analysis of maximum survival probability. Based on user agreement, the system will now automatically connect to the neural network…]

The notifications in his mind became more and more urgent, but Lin En could no longer hear them. At this moment, he felt as if his brain had exploded. His soul seemed to have left his body, and he was observing the world in a strange state.

Lin En’s scattered spiritual power spread out like ripples, and his perception of the elements became clearer and clearer.

..

“Brown hair, black eyes, looks like we have found the right person.” Seeing Andre easily subdue his target, Blaney loosened his grip on his sword hilt and turned to look at Lin En.

“Very capable, little mouse. If you can hide so well, why don’t I chop off your hand and leg to prevent you from running…” Andre said with a sinister smile, his left hand touching the blood on his neck.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Andre vaguely felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and his anger kept rising.

If it weren’t for the fact that he suddenly remembered that a living person was more valuable than a dead person, Andre would have killed Lin En immediately.

Blaney wasn’t surprised by his companion’s cruel suggestion, so he casually reminded him. “Chopping off one hand is enough. Otherwise, you’ll have to carry it back yourself. Remember to do it quickly. We have to make sure the target doesn’t die of blood loss halfway!”

Andre was facing away from Blaney. He did not respond. His face was purple and green, and the long knife in his left hand fell heavily to the ground. His originally chaotic breathing became more and more rapid. At this moment, he was like a dehydrated fish that was left on the shore, and his heart and lungs seemed to be about to explode.

Ten years ago, when the Fog Sea was swallowed by the Great Whirlpool, Andre experienced this feeling of suffocation. Breathing was a luxury. If he had not been lucky enough, he might have died at the bottom of the sea.

However, he was not in the deep sea now, and the attack just now clearly did not cut his windpipe…

Andre took a deep breath, but his condition did not improve at all. Instead, it became more and more serious. His gray eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

What sorcery was this? Andre immediately realized that it was the apprentice in front of him who was playing tricks, but the suffocation made him miss the opportunity to counterattack. The palm that was holding onto Lin En’s neck became weaker and weaker.

At the same time, Lin En, who had his head lowered, suddenly moved. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time, the oxygen around him was instantly sucked dry. A short sword pierced straight into Andre’s throat from the bottom up!
