Chapter 383: My Profession Panel Is Somehow in an Anime Style? Chapter 173

Amid the murmurs, he raised his head and looked toward the calm-faced youth in the distance, and the weapon in the other's hand that had originally belonged to him.

Just as Li Ang had not expected him to advance instead of retreat, he had likewise not expected the giant dragon opposite to choose fist against fist.

And at that, a single hand against two.

Thinking of this, the grey-haired man, whose aura was growing ever weaker, fell silent for a time.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, then said with a hint of relief: "I've lost again."

The former Imperial Baron, 【Undefeated Knight】, 【Star-Rider】, had today suffered his second defeat.

Only this time, Ottavio lost with complete conviction.

Spear against spear, fist against fist.

No evasion, only a hard clash of steel.

But it was a pity that, after exhausting every trick, he still was no match.

"Li Ang."

"A monster like you—this little place will never be your stage."

"If one day you meet a High Judge named Zoe, remember to pass along a message for me."

"I lost."

As he spoke, the grey-haired knight's voice grew ever lower, until at last there was no more sound.

He had already burned himself out, or rather, this was the ending he had chosen for himself.

Rather than continue to fritter away his life in the Kells Star Cluster, it was more dignified to die at the hands of a strong one.

"?"

Seeing this, Li Ang was immediately startled.

This guy couldn't have died, could he?! This was his top-grade fertilizer!

It was a pity that Ottavio's life would not stop slipping away just because of what he wanted.

Looking at the knight who was nearly dead, Li Ang muttered somewhat helplessly: "Lucky you."

Saying so, he took out the puppet he had previously used to nurture Christine's soul, and stuffed Ottavio's soon-to-collapse soul into it.

But given the situation just now, even if he had held back, Ottavio might not necessarily have survived.

Li Ang still had some self-awareness—a cheat like him was after all a rarity, and it was even possible that across the entire universe there was only him.

Since there was no way to feed this 【Star-Rider】 to the tree, he could only tinker around and see if he could turn him into a quasi-Servant.

You've offended the abbot and still want to run? Get over here and work for me!

As for the words the other had spoken before dying.

Heaven pity him, Li Ang truly only wanted to plant trees in this little place.

Thinking of planting trees, he immediately turned his gaze toward the fleet in the distance that was preparing to make a getaway.

Now that Ottavio was gone, Li Ang could only find some substitute meals for the Divine Tree.

'One, two… four. That's passable.'

In Li Ang's perception, there were four Tier-4 Professionals within the distant fleet.

Although they couldn't compare to Ottavio, they were still considerably stronger than the star-bandit leader on Fesa Star from before.

'After feeding them to the Divine Tree, it shouldn't take long before it bears fruit.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang immediately flew toward the fleet.

Seeing this, the star-bandits were scared out of their wits and began constantly urging the pilots to accelerate.

Having watched the battle just now, the thought of resistance had completely failed to rise in their hearts—after all, Ottavio had only taken them as subordinates after thoroughly beating them into submission.

Now that even their own boss had knelt, what was the point of fighting?!

But it was a pity that Li Ang would not let the duck already in hand fly away.

Under the terrifying gravitational pull, several massive starships were like meteorites captured by a planet, uncontrollably flying backward.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the remaining star-bandits hardened their hearts and shouted: "Damn it, let's blow up with him!"

Although they said this with their mouths, secretly they had already begun considering which kneeling posture would look the most graceful.

But this was ultimately nothing more than a fantasy—in Li Ang's eyes, this group of star-bandits already looked like fruit.

Just as Li Ang was preparing to slowly process the remaining star-bandits, the high-tier Professionals who had been secretly observing the battle fell into an eerie silence.

It was not until a long while later that the high-tier Professional belonging to the Federation could no longer hold it in.

"That's it?"

Now every day I post however much I've written, the author tries not to touch the saved drafts.

If only one chapter is posted, that means chapters have been merged.

As for extra chapters, the author makes no promises either, after all the greater the expectation the greater the disappointment.

But there definitely will be extras, it's just not certain that monthly-ticket extra chapters can be posted every day.

One is there's not enough time, the other is the wrist can't take it.
