I! Cleaner!-Chapter 367 - 0311 Deathmatch and Badge_1

However, at that moment, Emma could no longer hear what Leon was saying.

Pretending to be angered by Leon’s offense, the Goddess of Fortune took the opportunity to retract some of her power and completely gained the upper hand in the battle for the "stiletto sword."

As the blade of the stiletto sword was continually withdrawn, the stable balance at the top of the [Satisfying Scales] began to shake incessantly, and even most of the heart on the left tray had vanished.

"Awooo..."

Seeing the sinful heart conjured by the [Satisfying Scales] shrinking and eventually disappearing with the Goddess of Fortune’s resistance, the giant blue-black crocodile lurking beneath the two showed a disappointment that seemed almost human.

"Wait."

Just as the Crocodile God, who had made the trip in vain, was about to leave, the skulls piled at the bottom of the valley all revealed slight smiles, and one spoke in a gentle tone,

"Don’t leave yet, aren’t you hungry for something?"

Not quite understanding the Goddess of Fortune’s words, the massive Crocodile God cautiously stepped back half a step, then tilted its head slightly, conveying its doubts to the Goddess with its gaze.

"What I mean is... since you’re here!"

As soon as the Goddess of Fortune’s words fell, there was a soft puff sound, and the last remaining tip of the sword was pulled out from her heart.

Following that, the blood flowed back, the flesh healed, the clothes mended... as though time had reversed, the wound caused by the stiletto sword on her chest completely vanished!

"Is it time for me to judge you now?"

Smiling at Emma, who bit her lip and opened the [Painful Verses] to stall her, the Goddess of Fortune, full of resentment, snatched the stiletto sword and stabbed directly at her chest. Not only did she pierce through the parchment-written [Painful Verses], but with a great force, she pierced through the heart, the sharp tip of the sword emerging from the back!

"Ugh..."

With her heart pierced, Emma couldn’t help but groan softly. Then, feeling her strength draining rapidly along with her blood following the sword’s penetration, realizing she couldn’t hold on much longer, she endured the excruciating pain and lunged forward, arms outstretched to lock onto the Goddess of Fortune.

At the same time, a dark, restrained iron sarcophagus, firmly secured by chains, silently materialized from behind Emma, while the blood-soaked bottom of the Emerald Valley erected a desolate, dilapidated church from nothingness.

Large pieces of paint peeled off the dark red columns, barely supporting the high arch that threatened to collapse. Beneath the arch, old stained glass windows pieced together from fractured glass were coated with thick gray dust, dimming and fragmenting the sunlight that seeped in from the sides.

Meanwhile, the once-holy altar at the center burned with ghostly, pale blue flames. Clad in gray robes, one by one, the followers raised their bloodless, withered faces, their eyes sunken deep into the bones, fixedly staring at the two women tightly embracing, surrounded by the candelabra.

"Damn it! Are you crazy?"

Seeing the ebony coffin with a mirror-like polished lid behind Emma, eerily reflecting her own headless dead visage— the Goddess of Fortune, whose head had somehow been restored, shivered uncontrollably. Forgetting her intent to make Emma taste the weighing of her heart, she gathered all her strength and frantically struggled.

The well-informed Goddess of Fortune immediately recognized the origin of the iron sarcophagus— it was the [Dead’s Pivot], connecting to the Realm of the Dead!

If she really got dragged in there by Emma, this damned Cleaner would certainly be captured by the Realm of the Dead and never return. Yet, as a physical True God herself, she wouldn’t escape either, and might even be devoured by the Realm’s masters due to her exuberant life force!

"Let go! Let go!"

Watching the [Dead’s Pivot] slowly open as two deceased individuals unraveled its chains, the Goddess of Fortune released the rapier, grabbed Emma’s shoulders, and began desperately pushing and shoving, cracking her shoulders as she braced and nearly frantically rammed Emma’s abdomen with her knee, trying to forcibly push her away.

Emma, grimacing from the pain, couldn’t help but groan softly. Her left arm, having turned emerald, trembled continuously, faint cracks appearing, yet she stubbornly clung to the Goddess of Fortune, struggling with all her might to drag her toward the [Dead’s Pivot].

*This damn crazy woman! Damn Purification Bureau! I shouldn’t have come today!*

Terrified by Emma’s determination to perish with her, seeing the lid of the iron sarcophagus open wide, as she faced the grim road of the dead with bowed heads, the Goddess of Fortune, knowing she couldn’t delay any longer, gritted her teeth and took out a frog-shaped pendant, swallowing it directly.

Following that, the glass bottle containing the little black snake appeared in her hand, and she crushed it with force!

...

"My god! No! No! I am useful! I still have a use!"

Sensing the impending danger, the scarred Snake Spirit suddenly widened its eyes, pleading desperately.

Hearing the Snake Spirit’s cries, the Goddess of Fortune’s cheek twitched slightly. Yet, seeing the road of the dead drawing closer, she ignored the little black snake’s pleas and swallowed it whole instead.

*As my Holy Spirit, giving everything for me is your duty!*

After consuming the frog pendant and the little black snake in succession, tiny snake scales rapidly emerged on the Goddess of Fortune’s face and arms, while her exposed back grew lumps like a toad’s back.

"Let go!"

With an enraged, gravelly shout, the power-swollen Goddess of Fortune forcibly crushed Emma’s scapula with her grip, causing her arms wrapped around her to fall limply. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Then, the [Dead’s Pivot], already half-open, disappeared instantly without a target, with the surrounding dilapidated church and praying dead vanishing as well. The two returned to the bottom of the Emerald Valley once again.

Having paid an enormous price to avoid being dragged into the Realm of the Dead, the first thing the newly freed Goddess of Fortune did was kick Emma to the ground and then bent over with killing intent to pull the rapier from Emma’s heart.

Just then, a furious shout erupted behind her.

"Stop!"

*Oh right, there’s still you!*

Seeing Leon charging toward her, face flushed and steps slightly unsteady for some reason, the Goddess of Fortune’s narrow snake eyes darkened with malice.

*Weren’t you willing to drag me to the Realm of the Dead to save him?*

Glancing at Emma’s suddenly anxious expression, the Goddess of Fortune smirked slightly, beckoned with a finger toward Leon in the distance, and announced gleefully,

"I, in the name of the Scales Gold Sect Snake Spirit, buy your youth and time, purchase your bone marrow and flesh, acquire your... huh?"

After beckoning twice, she suddenly realized all her power had failed to capture the intoxicated Leon in front of her. Even the coins used for the "transaction" turned into bubbles the moment she used them, causing the Goddess of Fortune to panic and instinctively attempt to retreat.

However, in the delay, Leon, having drunkenly indulged in [Immortal in Liquor], successfully closed in.

Once within striking range, seeing people somewhat doubled, Leon instinctively executed the Kingdom police combat techniques he had practiced tirelessly for two days, blocking the Goddess of Fortune’s arm poised in front of her.

Immediately, his wrist flipped, shoulder pressed, head rose, leg hooked— three actions in one swift motion, destroying the Goddess of Fortune’s balance, sending her toppling backward. Lastly, remembering the finishing move taught by the policewoman, he squinted his drunken eyes and fiercely kicked the vulnerable chest and abdomen exposed by the falling Goddess.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!"

"Zzzzz..."

Accompanied by the Goddess of Fortune’s scream and a familiar buzzing, the drunken Leon’s ears suddenly filled with a mechanical prompt.

[Successfully launched an extremely unsportsmanlike assault on the key part of an opposite-sex True God. You have activated the hidden Golden Badge, "Too Bad, None"]
