The three surviving "Six Arms" members didn't hesitate upon hearing the question.
"Survi..."
"Survive!"
"Survi..."
The weak voices sounded almost simultaneously.
The strongest department head, Jie Luo, was killed so easily, and Divanok and Mamvest also died one after another.
They thought they would be killed as well, but who would have thought they could survive.
"M-my lord, I don't want to die."
The "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto lay in a pool of blood, the fear of death and the coldness of the constant blood loss causing his body to twitch and tremble from time to time.
His blood-soaked arm slowly and weakly reached out, trying to touch the hem of Tang Zheng's Black Robe: "Save me... save me, I'll do anything..."
Tang Zheng raised his foot, walked up to the three, reached out from his Black Robe, and gently brushed over them.
In an instant! The Curse Power entwined around the three was dispelled.
The "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto and the other two only felt a sense of relief, and the bleeding from their wounds was noticeably suppressed.
Tang Zheng discovered this method of removing the Curse Power remaining in the enemy's body when he was fighting and communicating with the "Martial King" Go Gin in the Bahharuth Empire.
This was his power to begin with.
Releasing and controlling his own power was part of mastering his Job.
In this real other world, the abilities of a Job are not the rigid, fixed expressions found in games. This is most evident in the High-Tier Job of "Magic Swordsman".
Whoosh! Tang Zheng took out a Regeneration Potion and sprinkled it on the three, who looked like they were breathing in more than they were breathing out.
A simple treatment.
Allowed the "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto and the other two to regain some strength, and they stood up weakly and staggeringly.
Night was falling.
Under the light of the stars and moon, the huge Bone Dragon, with its silver luster and aura of death, cast a shadow over the three.
Looking up.
Seeing the mysterious figure standing under the Bone Dragon, wrapped in a Black Robe, the three "Six Arms" trembled and quickly lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear and terror.
Their original arrogance and conceit had long since disappeared.
"My lord, what do you need us to do?"
The "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto's pale, gaunt face was filled with flattery and ingratiation as he spoke first.
He knew that this powerful mysterious man had not killed them, and it was certainly not because of a sudden burst of kindness.
Tang Zheng glanced at the "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto, the weakest of the Six Arms, and a smile appeared under his hood.
"Bring me that head." Tang Zheng said.
The "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto was stunned for a moment, then quickly started walking, ignoring the severe pain from his wounds, and picked up Jie Luo's head.
The terrifyingly powerful Jie Luo had died just like that.
Shakyuronto was somewhat dazed, but more than that, he felt deep fear.
"The 'Fighting Demon' Jie Luo didn't die at my hands, but at yours."
Tang Zheng said to Shakyuronto, "I imagine the Eight Fingers' security department wouldn't mind a more powerful department head appearing."
The simple words caused the air to freeze.
Obviously, none of the three present were fools, and they quickly realized what Tang Zheng meant.
The "Space Slash" Peshrian and the "Blood Moon Scimitar" Edesterien exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with regret.
Shakyuronto, holding Jie Luo's head, trembled with his hands, naturally understanding what this meant.
As the weakest among the Six Arms.
Shakyuronto naturally knew that no one would believe Jie Luo was killed by him.
But so what! Each department of 'Eight Fingers' was independent of each other, and no matter how much the other department heads suspected and opposed, one thing was true.
That was, the powerful 'Fighting Demon' Jie Luo was killed by an even more powerful person!
'Eight Fingers' was an underground force that even Undead could join, and they would not refuse someone stronger than Jie Luo to join.
Even if this person's identity was questionable.
They were not an upright organization in the first place! "My lord, Shakyuronto is willing to serve you."
'Phantom Demon' Shakyuronto hurriedly knelt on the ground, pressing his head heavily on the lawn, and excitedly spoke to Tang Zheng.
As long as he had the support of this powerful and mysterious lord.
Then he wouldn't need to be afraid of others daring to compete for the position of security department head.
Tang Zheng glanced at the other two.
'Blood Moon Scimitar' Edesterien, 'Space Slash' Peshrian, no matter how regretful they were in their hearts, could only follow suit and hurriedly said, "We will assist Shakyuronto."
Tang Zheng nodded.
He walked to the side of the dead 'Thousand Kill' Mamvest, and picked up the rose-like rapier from the other's body.
"Someone will come here with this sword tomorrow, she is the new 'Thousand Kill'."
Tang Zheng left these words behind, and leaped onto the Bone Dragon.
Boom! The Bone Dragon flapped its wings, stirring up gusts of air, and disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until Tang Zheng had completely left.
That the three people on the lawn slightly relaxed.
'Phantom Demon' Shakyuronto, who had been prone on the ground, stood up, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at the other two.
"I'll be troubling the two of you in the future."
Shakyuronto didn't hide the smugness in his tone.
Originally, he was a little worried.
Now, the new 'Thousand Kill' in the mysterious lord's words was obviously the lord's true subordinate, and her joining would only benefit him, not harm him.
...
Inside a small inn.
Imina's amber eyes were full of worry, and she looked out the window from time to time, but naturally she couldn't see anything in the dark night.
"Your master left, and you're not worried at all." Imina suppressed the somewhat irritable emotions in her heart, and looked at the Small Evil Spirit Dog lying on the floor.
The Small Evil Spirit Dog raised its eyelids, turned its head to the side, and didn't bother to pay attention to Imina at all.
Seeing this action.
Imina's eyelids twitched, and she took a deep breath.
"I heard that the horns and Bone Chains on the Evil Spirit Dog's head are excellent Magic materials, selling you should be worth a lot of money." Imina gritted her teeth slightly and said.
"Woof."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog paused in its lying position, and immediately raised its head, cautiously looking at Imina.
"Heh."
Imina chuckled lightly.
Bang! Bang! Just then, a knock came from outside the room.
Before Imina could react, the Small Evil Spirit Dog had already gotten up from the ground, controlling the Bone Chains on its body to wrap around the doorknob and pull hard.
With a "click", the door opened.
Imina straightened her back, the worried look on her face disappeared, and she put on a cold, expressionless look again.
"I thought you wouldn't be back until dawn. Looks like things didn't go smoothly," Imina said, first sizing up Tang Zheng, then raising her slender arms and crossing them in front of her chest, speaking softly.
She glanced at the Small Evil Spirit Dog that opened the door.
Tang Zheng reached out and patted the Small Evil Spirit Dog's head before pulling down the hood covering his head, revealing a smiling expression.
"No."
"Things went much smoother than expected."
Tang Zheng took out the Rose Rapier and tossed it to Imina: "A gift for you."
"A gift?"
Imina was visibly stunned, instinctively catching the Rose Rapier.
It was a pure silver rapier, with a blooming rose at the hilt. The entire blade faintly shimmered with magical light, making it a Magic Weapon.
Based on her knowledge as a Worker.
Imina's intuition told her that she definitely couldn't afford this Magic Weapon.
Tang Zheng briefly introduced the rapier's abilities.
Besides being entirely crafted from Mithril, the sword was also imbued with two magics, "Flesh Grinder" and "Assassination Expert."
One could twist the surrounding muscles the moment it pierced flesh, while the other could enlarge small wounds.
Simply put, being stabbed by this sword, even a simple scratch, would turn into a serious injury. It was a rather dangerous thrusting weapon.
Imina, with her Guerrilla Job and expertise in agile combat, was well-suited for such a weapon.
As for Tang Zheng.
This kind of weapon wasn't particularly valuable. The attached magical abilities were nothing compared to the Curse Power.
"Are you sure this is a gift, not a reward?"
Imina gripped the Rose Rapier, taking a slight breath. Her voice carried a hint of emotion that even she didn't notice.
"Starting tomorrow, you'll be 'Thousand Kill,' one of the Six Arms members of 'Eight Fingers.' That's your reward."
Tang Zheng spread his hands: "Of course, you also know that I'll be leaving for a while soon, so I'll have to trouble you to completely take control of the Security Department, one of the 'Eight Fingers' departments."
Imina looked at Tang Zheng with a stunned expression, as if saying, Are you kidding me?
After a while.
Seeing that Tang Zheng's face showed no sign of joking, Imina's throat wriggled a few times.
"Heh."
Imina stared at the Rose Rapier in her hand, her amber eyes flashing, and muttered, "I knew your reward wouldn't be so simple."
This man is indeed not that simple.
A moment of silence.
"Why give it to me?" Imina didn't ask how Tang Zheng had done it, but suddenly asked in return.
"Because you're a Half-Elf," Tang Zheng said without any concealment.
"I see."
Imina nodded, raised the Rose Rapier, and walked towards the door. Her purple pigtails swayed with her movements: "Just don't worry about me making a mess of things."
As her voice faded, the door closed again.
Tang Zheng stretched: "The preliminary arrangements in the Re-Estize Kingdom are basically complete. Next, it's time to consider my own affairs."
He really wasn't worried about any problems on Imina's side.
Whether it was the Phantom Demon Shakyuronto or the new "Thousand Kill" Imina, everything they controlled came from him.
And the real root was "strength."
As long as you understand this, many things become much simpler.
Tang Zheng eagerly opened the stats panel, looking at the information on it.
