BXBX NOVEL Chapter 178 - Cleaners?
Ban hesitated for a moment but after hearing the music, the hesitation immediately disappeared like a bubble, followed by the courage to deal with his enemy.
Swoosh!
The beautiful Poisonous Butterfly Dagger pierced Brok\'s neck as if it was butter.
Not even a moment had passed when his eyes immediately turned lifeless while his summoned monster from far away had also disintegrated into many particles of light.
He was instantly killed by the dagger\'s potent poison and based on the current expression on his eyes, it looks like the illusion he saw was not a pleasant one.
At this moment, Brok\'s face suddenly started to melt. And a moment later, Ban saw a face which he was familiar with.
It was the face of the guy who tried to bump him earlier when he was still in Joana\'s store.
He planned on getting his revenge, but who knew he would be able to obtain it this way.
Ban shook his head as he turned around to trace where the music was coming from.
At the same time, he checked the System message that appeared earlier.
[ [Skill] Courageous Music has been used!
By your choice, you are affected by the skill, courageous music.
Courage will overflow from those targeted by the music caster. Hesitations and fear will disappear until the music ends or if the music is forcefully stopped.
Your Contracted Beast Eva has forcefully resisted the music due to her current rank and grade.
]
\'Another music related skill?\'
\'It looks like she doesn\'t have any music skills that could directly harm others or else she would have used it on the Dark Guild members earlier.\'
[ [Skill] Sound Shut!
Allows the user to negate any skills that use sound.
Limitation: E-Elite Rank and below.
Usage: Can block any sound attacks for a total of 30 minutes everyday. Will reset every day.
]
When Eva ranked up to become an F-Apprentice Beast, the title, \'Almighty Summoner\', or more precisely, the System rewarded him with this skill.
He wished for this skill before to prevent people who use sound attacks in harming him.
Sound related skills are really scary. You will be affected by them as long as you are not deaf. Fortunately, he was rewarded by this skill.
That\'s why earlier, he paused for a moment when the System screen showed up and asked if he wanted to block the music produced by Emilia or not.
Seeing that the skill does not mean him any harm, he immediately accepted it and proceeded to kill Brok.
And as for Eva forcefully resisting the music, he was also surprised by it. And to think that he was worried about her safety earlier.
It looks like Emilia\'s music also has certain limitations.
Eva approached Ban and jumped towards his head.
Ban petted Eva\'s head while praising her with her beautiful performance.
Ban then walked towards Emilia and sat in front of her to listen to the music up close and to observe her beautiful face at the same time.
Sometime later, Emilia finished the song she was playing as she opened her tightly shut eyes.
A blush suddenly surfaced on her cheek upon seeing Ban staring at her intently like that.
She looked away as she stored the guqin inside her storage pouch again.
"Are you hurt?" She asked in a worried tone.
It was only then Ban realized that the music had already finished.
"No, I\'m perfectly fine."
It was really the truth. With \'Greed\'s\' passive effect, Absorb, as long as he killed an enemy, their excess energy would always be absorbed by him, making him inexhaustible on the battlefield.
"How about you?"
"I\'m also fine but my Monster…" she said as she glanced at the weak Server Monkey.
"Don\'t worry, I\'ll heal it." Ban said confidently.
"But, let\'s get out of here first." He added.
"Alright, let\'s go!"
She carried the Server Monkey gently as they ran in another direction to escape the scene.
A moment later after they left, two men wearing dark green attires suddenly landed on the area.
They are also wearing a green and black mask to hide their face.
They two looked at each other and pointed at the dead bodies on the ground.
"Let\'s clean this up first before reporting it to \'him!\'"
"Alright!"
The two of them waved their hands and the body as well as the remnants of the battle instantly disappeared.
The place now returned to normal, almost like there was no battle that had taken place earlier. Even the blood on the ground completely disappeared.
A moment later, the two of them disappeared from the area without any sound.
…
After running for a few minutes, Ban and Emilia decided to board a carriage so that they could return to the Kuys Bar quickly.
While inside the carriage, Ban decided to treat the wounds of the Server Monkey, even extracting the poison that had entered its body.
He learned the method from the System or the book of techniques and after a few moments of knowledge injection. He already mastered various ways to heal it.
He chose the easiest and the one that was suitable for their current situation.
After a few squeeze here and there, white and red blood was immediately pushed out from the monkey\'s body.
Ban then wrapped its body with a piece of clothing. The Server Monkey now looked like a mummy as it laid in Emilia\'s slender legs.
Of course, Ban being Ban, he stared at her legs for a few moments before looking away.
"Thank you, Ban!"
He suddenly heard a sweet yet cold voice not far from his ear.
And before he could turn around to respond, he suddenly felt a wet feeling touching his cheek.
He was taken aback and when he turned his head, he saw Emilia blushing from the side with a smile on her face. Her hand was fiddling the Server Monkey\'s bandages in panic to the point that it was now starting to come off.
It was apparent that she was very nervous at the moment.. She was afraid of the response she will get from Ban.
