it was because she wanted to fully enjoy the despair of Lin Cheng and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Kyôka of the Underworld was a complete pervert, a pervert who also happened to look quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Kyôka’s slightly twisted smile, Eclair was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because she hated from the bottom of her heart the behavior of mages who would run amok and do evil as soon as they possessed power, Eclair had never thought of learning magic or possessing power from four hundred years ago until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Eclair, besides her immortality, was just a girl without the strength to truss a chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, sometimes, death might not be a form of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to herself, Eclair looked at Lin Cheng beside her with some complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Eclair’s view, Lin Cheng was likely in grave danger today; compared to her own special nature, Lin Cheng was just an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary person who would die if he got injured, and if the injury was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent a year with Lin Cheng, Eclair certainly cared about him, but it was because of the passing of her former friends that Eclair had been avoiding Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just didn't want to become friends with Lin Cheng, and didn't want to experience the taste of losing a friend again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm, it’s about time.' ===== CHAPTER 9 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Although appearing now is somewhat abrupt, there is no other way.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng did not notice the complex expression on Eclair’s usually poker-faced face at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the twisted expression of Kyôka, Lin Cheng smiled lightly in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then, *Re:Zero*, Witch Cult Sin Archbishop of Sloth, make a brilliant entrance!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the falling of Lin Cheng’s inner voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Cheng’s line of sight, dozens of Unseen Hands, invisible to others and flickering with dark light, stretched toward Kyôka’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost without any surprise, they grabbed Kyôka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the sudden pressure on her body, Kyôka’s expression changed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she wasn't given any chance to do anything; a series of dense bone-cracking sounds came from Kyôka’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it wasn't over yet; dozens of Unseen Hands directly grabbed Kyôka’s body, which had almost been crushed, and threw it toward the mountain not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyôka’s body, as if hit by a truck fully loaded with cargo, slammed heavily into the mountain, almost collapsing half of the small mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he really wasn't sure he could control the Sin Archbishop of Sloth to win steadily against Kyôka, Lin Cheng used the Sin Archbishop of Sloth’s full power from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eclair and Momon were directly stunned by the scene that had just unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't have imagined that Kyôka, who had just been acting like she had them all in the palm of her hand, had suddenly been smashed to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, let alone Eclair, even Lin Cheng himself was shocked by the scene he had caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the power of a Witch Cult Sin Archbishop?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did Lin Cheng begin to seriously examine his first puppet draw, the A-rank puppet, the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, the direct power display of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth in the original work was very average, but thinking about it carefully, the Sin Archbishop of Sloth was a terrifying symbol that had rampaged through the *Re:Zero* world for hundreds of years and no one could deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the father of the Sword Saint Reinhard, that Sword Demon who had once defeated the previous Sword Saint relying on swordsmanship, could not steadily win against the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, even knowing the setting of the Unseen Hand and being able to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how many people like the Sword Demon could there be in a country?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, Lin Cheng, and even most of the audience before Lin Cheng transmigrated, had underestimated the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Natsuki Subaru’s Return by Death, no one could have dealt with the Sin Archbishop of Sloth; they would have been instantly killed at the very beginning because they didn't know about the existence of the Unseen Hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Enhanced Demon, Kyôka of the Underworld, in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disadvantage of the Unseen Hand is that its speed is relatively slow, but its power and concealment are absolutely top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it misses, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hits, dozens of Unseen Hands exerting force at the same time, it would be no problem at all to directly crush Kyôka, this demon, to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he didn't directly finish off Kyôka and left her with a breath was because Lin Cheng’s script had only just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, on the system interface in Lin Cheng’s mind, the Emotion Points had already broken through to 500 because of the series of operations just now, and were still constantly growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding!

compared to the pain in her body, Kyôka was more concerned about who had ambushed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Kyôka looked at the other side, at a group of people standing neatly in black robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the green-haired guy standing at the very front of the crowd, who looked like he wasn't a normal person at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyôka’s expression became even more ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, well, well, that’s right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually forgot to say hello;
