Big Capitalist

As Merlin was thinking about how to retreat, the slightly disdainful voice of the Moon Goddess Selene rang out in his mind: "This is a bullshit Plague Lord. It's just a monster created by the flesh and blood of the Plague Lord."

Merlin felt relieved when he heard this. He heaved a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced: "That's easy to say, as long as it's not the Lord of Plague."

"However, this monster also has the strength of level seven, and can use some of the power of the Lord of Plague." Moon Goddess Selene immediately poured another bucket of cold water on him.

"Shit!" Merlin couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Then running away is the most important thing! That's level seven! We are only level five!" He was anxious and his eyes quickly swept over his companions, trying to find a way to break out.

"Don't flatter yourself. You're just level four. Oh, and there's that little fellow called Fate. Both of you are just level four noobs." Moon Goddess Selene sneered mercilessly.

"Is this the right time to say this?" Merlin was angry and anxious, complaining in his heart, "I will give you the power of faith, and you will deal with it..."

Before Merlin could finish, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Then, he looked down in astonishment, and saw a sharp dagger stuck in his body. The handle of the dagger was flashing coldly in the dim light, and blood was slowly oozing out from the wound, staining his clothes red.

Merlin's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never expected that at this critical moment, someone would attack him from behind...

"Merlin!" Seeing this scene, Stacy and Yuna widened their eyes in horror and exclaimed in a shrill voice due to extreme shock.

They were anxious and rushed towards Merlin quickly, wondering who it was and when it suddenly appeared beside Merlin! They were staring at him all the time!

When everyone heard the shout, they ran without hesitation, rushing towards the direction where Merlin was.

However, before they got close, a terrifying aura that seemed to materialize came over them like a tidal wave. Everyone felt as if their chests were hit by a heavy hammer and were instantly blown away. The strength of this force was far beyond the limit they could bear. Their bodies were like broken kites, drawing arcs in the air and falling heavily to the ground. Many people vomited blood and fainted, with splitting headaches. They only felt that everything in front of their eyes was dark and their consciousness gradually blurred.

Merlin endured the severe pain from his heart, looked down at the dagger that pierced his body, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

He breathed heavily and used all his strength to slowly turn around, and saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.

It was a dwarf. Merlin took a closer look and instantly recognized him as his father's good friend, Uncle Otto, who he used to joke and laugh with when he went to the tavern run by his parents, and who was caring and attentive to him.

"How could it be... How could it be..." Merlin's eyes widened in shock, his lips trembling as he looked at Otto with an expression of disbelief.

Otto sighed slightly after hearing Merlin's words, raised his hand and scratched his head, then slowly walked out of the darkness with a trace of helplessness on his face: "Hey, my dear nephew, I didn't want to either, but who knew that you guys were so powerful and easily solved that useless guy. I said that the followers of the Lord of Plague were all weaklings, but fortunately the great Lord of Flesh and Blood sent me here..."

As he spoke, Otto's body began to deform strangely.

In an instant, terrible red muscle lines appeared on his entire body, as if his skin had disappeared in an instant, leaving his muscle tissue nakedly exposed, with blue veins winding around his muscles like wriggling earthworms, making him look particularly hideous.

"Lord of Flesh and Blood? Another ancient god?" Merlin was shocked.

Otto walked to Merlin step by step and continued: "If you could accept death obediently, I wouldn't show up. Unfortunately..."

At this critical moment, Arthur and Scarlett suddenly appeared like gods descending from the sky.

Arthur's eyes were cold, like burning cold stars. He raised the sword in his hand high with an indomitable momentum and stabbed it fiercely at Otto. The blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Scarlett danced with her hands quickly, muttering something, and the air around her seemed to be ignited by her spell. There were lightning and thunder in an instant, and then a dazzling thunder was like an angry dragon out of the sea, roaring towards Otto.

However, Otto showed a scornful smile on his face, as if he was an adult facing two naughty children.

He flicked his fingers slightly, a seemingly random movement, but it contained a terrifying force. Arthur felt an irresistible force rushing towards him, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, hitting the wall heavily. There was a loud "crack" and the sound of broken bones was clearly audible. His flesh and blood seemed to burst like a watermelon, and a large amount of blood flowed out instantly. His eyes lost their color in an instant, and his body collapsed to the ground limply.

Scarlett was not spared either. The force of Otto's finger was like an invisible blade, cutting across half of her body.

In an instant, half of her body exploded like broken porcelain. Scarlett's eyes showed unbelievable horror, and she fell into the sewage.

When Merlin saw this scene, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and he was extremely angry. He shouted angrily: "Fuck you!"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Otto grabbed the handle of the dagger and applied a little force to stop him from saying the next words.

"Nephew, you may not know this," Otto said slowly with a strange smile on his face, "The first time I met you, I felt the extraordinaryness of your soul, and I thought that such a wonderful soul dedicated to the great Lord would surely please the Lord, so I gave you this dagger. This dagger is specifically for souls, and I thought that after the mission is over, I would take your soul away without anyone noticing. This dagger is really a good thing. After being stabbed, it can pull the soul out of the body, just like this..."

As he spoke, Otto suddenly pulled out the dagger from Merlin's body, with an expectant look on his face, ready to tear out Merlin's soul.

But... Otto miscalculated. He found that what he pulled out was not Merlin's soul, but a...

The moon goddess Selene looked at the dagger stuck in her stomach. She did not show any pain at all. Instead, she raised her head and gave Otto a bright smile. Then she clenched her fist and said to Otto with a smile: "Hello!"
