Chapter 240: The Threat Has Been Eliminated Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Nana appeared, everyone except Link was stupefied.

What was happening? How did this delicate young woman come to the evil and sinister Black Forest?

Bruttan just waved his giant sword around and leered at Nana as if she was the most enticing thing he’d seen in a while.

“Hey! Look!” he said gruffly. “It’s a pretty little doll! I can’t wait to squash her to death!”

He then charged forward at Nana. His nearly 15-foot-tall body weighed more than a ton. Even his steps rumbled the bushes and trees around him.

Nana, on the other hand, was only slightly more than five feet tall. She was also slender and petite. She looked as if Bruttan could easily trample her to death without any effort at all.

The ghouls didn’t even take any notice of Nana. They were waiting eagerly for Bruttan to finish her off.

Only Auselia sensed something out of the ordinary.

“Bruttan, be careful,” she warned.

“Don’t you worry…” said Bruttan with a grin.

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a bang in the air. Soon, the young woman had vanished.

“Huh? Where did she go?” Bruttan’s eyes widened. His expressions had changed. He finally felt that something was wrong.

Whoosh….

The leaves on the trees suddenly fluttered. Half a second later, Nana’s body reappeared, and she almost caught up with Link now. Her sword’s edge was on Auselia’s forehead, but it was blocked by a layer of flowing black crystal.

It was the god-level device’s protection.

Even so, Auselia was now frightened. She’d never expected the magic puppet to have such terrifying force. She had no time to respond to this attack at all, and if it wasn’t for the Dark Serpent, she would surely have been pierced through her skull again.

That’s impressive, Auselia thought. But it’s still not good enough.

Auselia then pulled her whip back and struck it on Nana’s body.

Bang!

Another air explosion, and right before the god-level device hit her body, Nana had once again disappeared, bringing Link, who was right beside Auselia, with her.

Half a second later, Nana and Link reappeared 300 feet away. Her hands were holding Link’s head, and there was a magic force field around Link’s body which protected Link’s neck from breaking due to her sudden burst of speed.

“Master’s life is safe,” said Nana with that clear mechanical voice. “First part of mission completed. Nana will get Master out of the Black Forest.”

Link was surprised. Is the magic puppet going to save him alone? That would be bad. He couldn’t just leave Karnose, Felina, Annie and the rest of the scouts here to die!

“Go save them!” he immediately said. “This is my order!”

Nana was about to take Link away and run, but when she heard Link’s words, she instantly paused.

“Analyzing Master’s authority…” she said. “Authority level one. Nana will execute Master’s order.”

Boom!

The wind whistled, and Nana’s body disappeared from Link’s side.

“Be careful of her!” Auselia shouted. Her voice had a tinge of panic in it, and she’d long discarded that flirtatious tone now. This is normal, though. No one could stay calm when they could have almost died seconds ago.

Half a second later, Bruttan suddenly wailed in pain. His whole body was thrown out, and one of his legs had been snapped cleanly off from his body. His black blood was dripping from the wound.

Even demons were living things as well, so the amputated leg undoubtedly caused Bruttan excruciating pain. Bruttan held on to the wound and screamed as loud as he could, no longer able to fight.

Nana stood at the spot where Bruttan was.

“Target number two has been mutilated,” she said. “Threat eliminated.”

“Go stop her!” shouted Auselia. At the same time, Auselia instinctively stepped backwards and began to retreat.

Even the ghouls knew fear. They clearly saw how fast the magic puppet was. She was so fast that one didn’t have even time to even react. How were they supposed to fight her?

But it was Auselia’s command, so they had no choice but to charge at Nana and surround her.

Boom!

Nana vanished again.

A second later, four of the ghouls suddenly felt a mysterious impact on their bodies. They reached their hands out and grabbed their necks and slowly fell to their knees. After a second, a line of blood appeared on their necks, and soon, the heads of all four ghouls slipped off of their shoulders.

Nana appeared outside the circle of ghouls.

“Go to hell!” shouted Auselia with both shock and fury. She charged towards Nana while striking her whip at her.

Boom!

Another air explosion and the whip once again struck empty air. Nana escaped Ausellia’s attack by a close shave. Half a second later, three more ghouls stopped dead in their tracks, and soon their skulls all fell off of their shoulders too.

“Aaaah!” screamed Auselia, frantically charging at Nana. She wasn’t slow at all, at a speed of 900 feet per second. For a living thing made of flesh and blood, this speed was horrifyingly fast.

But Nana was still twice as fast as her!

Auselia’s god-level device whip could almost destroy anything in the physical world, but despite all her efforts, she just couldn’t hit the magic puppet.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Four more ghouls were killed mysteriously. Every time Nana dodged Auselia’s attack, she would the attack the ghouls at high speed. After a while, only ten ghouls were left in the forest.

These ten ghouls stared at each other. Although they were still obeying Auselia’s command and was surrounding Nana, their steps had turned slow, their actions were hesitant, and their minds were in a state of panic.

This was a hopeless battle! They were no match for the magic puppet!
