Chapter 33
Of course, Sloth was indeed killed by Ace.
It's just that Sloth has the passive skill heavy at the fingertips, which allows him to resurrect by temporarily consuming one C-rank puppet.
Now, Sloth has already resurrected directly over at Lin Cheng's side.
Ace, too, put on an act of having expended a great deal of stamina and only barely managing to kill Sloth.
"Did we win?"
After seeing Ace burn Sloth to ashes, Erza hurriedly rushed over with the members of Fairy Tail, asking with some concern: "I saw Mr. Ace burn that guy to ashes."
"He should be dead, right?"
"He's definitely dead, what is there even to say."
Without waiting for Ace to say anything, Natsu, who had also crowded over, cut in: "I saw it with my own eyes just now — Ace burned that guy straight to ashes."
"He's already been burned to ashes, how could he possibly still be alive."
As a typical Japanese-style protagonist, Natsu's thoughts are always unexpectedly pure and naive.
"Haha, it's not that simple."
"What I just killed was merely a clone of the Daiduosi Sect."
Looking at the Fairy Tail members gathered around him, Ace's face showed a perfectly measured expression of 'helplessness', and he said with a wry smile: "As one of the Seven Deadly Sins, how could the Daiduosi Sect be that easy to deal with."
"Even if it's the old man, wanting to beat that guy is indeed very simple."
"But if you want to kill that guy, it's not that easy."
Facing the Fairy Tail members' questions, Ace explained with unusual patience.
Under Lin Cheng's control, Ace very patiently revealed almost all the information about the Monu Sect that could be disclosed, so that the Fairy Tail members, as well as others in the future, could have a basic understanding of the Monu Sect.
Otherwise, the Monu Sect would be too invincible, and there'd be no point.
Most importantly, only by understanding the terror of the Monu Sect can emotions be stirred up.
"Alright, the appearance of the Monu Sect is indeed something I didn't expect."
"Regarding the 'Hu Zi' mission commission, I'll have to trouble Young Lady Erza and everyone else to keep an eye on it."
Feeling that it was about enough, Lin Cheng also began preparing to arrange Ace's exit.
The first phase of the script could be considered officially over; Lin Cheng hadn't had time to think about the second phase yet, after all, right now Lin Cheng only has Ace and Sloth as puppets.
If he stayed here any longer, the people from the Fapingyi Society would arrive soon.
When that time comes, the Fapingyi Society would surely try to ask for very detailed information, and Lin Cheng's side would have a hard time explaining things clearly.
For the second phase of the script, Lin Cheng has to wait a few days for the incident to ferment, harvest a wave of emotion points, and have enough emotion points to draw new puppets, before he can arrange the second phase of the script through the new puppets.
