Time goes back a little earlier.

"Why are you here?" Qiexiao looked at the man calling himself Rip sitting next to the bar, holding the coffee she just brought in his hand.

"Huh? I saw it." The man pointed outside the window, but Qiexiao squinted and carefully looked outside the window. The sky had already turned completely dark, and there was nothing in the sky.

Originally, this shop should not even be open at this time, let alone receive customers. But this person in front of her was different. This person was one of the younger brothers who attacked the shop owner a few days ago when Yu Zilu passed by.

"There's nothing in the sky outside?" Qiexiao sighed and said.

"Or are you like those people before, trying to kidnap me to force the shop owner to fight you? Besides, didn't we agree to fight to the death in the dock area today?"

"Ah... I forgot that others can't see the rune outside anymore. If it's the girlfriend of the senior...," the young man holding the coffee sighed, looking like he couldn't do anything, and thinking about something.

And then, his head was struck hard.

"Girlfriend?!" Qiexiao instinctively used the tray in her hand to knock on the young man in front of her, completely forgetting that he was a modified person who could defeat the shop owner.

"Ah... I didn't mean to, I just heard the girlfriend," she apologized to the young man with her hand covering her head. At this moment, she noticed something. If the other party was a modified person, the tray in her hand should be damaged. But not only the tray in her hand was fine, there was also an obvious bump on the young man's head.

"Could it be... you're not the one called Xin who is my junior?" Qiexiao asked.

"I am indeed, but I came here by touching the white rune suddenly appearing on the ground..." When the white rune was mentioned, it suddenly reminded Qiexiao. Looking at the fantasy-like equipment on the young man's body and considering what he said, she immediately realized that the person in front of her was the reinforcements she summoned.

"Then you need to hurry," she immediately made the young man stand up and pushed his shoulder towards the shop's door. "If you don't hurry, it might be too late..."

"So now I am here." The young man who used to be called Xiaoxin and now called Rip held his sword on his shoulder and calmly recounted the whole process of how he came.

"It's too long! And look, the other Xiaoxin is completely stiff!" exclaimed the red armored knight, holding his chest where the injuries were, and complaining.

Although he complained loudly like this, Yu Zilu couldn't figure out why there were two Xiaoxin in front of him. But seeing the equipment on the later Xiaoxin's body and the sword he was holding, he had a rough idea.

Perhaps this was the older brother wandering in another world that Ruri mentioned...

"Who are you exactly? Why do you look exactly like me?" The blue armored knight looked at Rip in confusion, but Rip did not reply. Instead, he pointed at him and looked at the red armored knight.

"Speaking of which, who is that?"

"That one should be a modified person made from your bones," Rip said. Although he wasn't very sure, based on what he heard from Professor Robo, it should be something like that.

Upon hearing this, Rip showed an expression that seemed to have understood something and nodded. Then, he looked at the blue armored knight with a disdainful look.

"Hey, don't play around with other people's corpses..."

Looking unbelievingly, Rip looked at the blue armored knight.

"Well, but you do look cool, so it's okay."

"You, with someone else's face, saying that someone else is your own bones. What on earth are you?" The blue armored knight shouted in anger.

"As for me?" Rip put down his sword from his shoulder and swung it in a spiral motion.

"I'm just you, who has obtained a second chance in life."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The blue armored knight roared, and in an instant, he disappeared from his position.

Not good! Yu Zilu shouted inwardly. Although he was an adventurer, this Xiaoxin's body should still be that of an ordinary human. If he were hit by a modified person's punch...【Clang!】

However, the adventurer blocked the blue mech knight's fist with his sword.

"Roar!"

Adventurer Rip smiled as he looked at the iron fist clashing against his sword.

"Surprisingly tough!"

He pulled his sword back, causing sparks to fly as the blade scraped against the iron fist, and kicked the mech knight's leg.

Although it seemed like a regular adventurer's low kick, it landed firmly on the mech knight's leg, even though it didn't leave any marks or break it.

But it was enough to throw the enemy off balance.

The mech knight, affected by the kick, staggered, while adventurer Rip took a step back.

Why didn't he attack when it was such a good opportunity?

As Yu Zilu thought this, the blue mech knight, leaning due to its unbalanced posture, charged upwards and swung a hook punch.

The punch just grazed past Rip, who had moved backward, without hurting him.

"Such strong punching power. I would probably die if hit by that."

Steadying himself, Rip smiled and said, at the same time placing his sword into the concrete floor and spreading his hands open.

"But I need some additional assistance."

After saying that, two magic circles appeared above his open hands.

At first glance, they seemed similar, but upon closer inspection, they were two completely different magic circles.

Rip slightly raised his head and began chanting in a strange language before the blue mech knight could approach him.

"ogenj v brezno.tone veter.Voor mij.En ik heb."

As he finished saying that, the magic circles on his left and right hands emitted different colored lights.

Yu Zilu, who had undone the form of the mech knight, leaned against the wall and watched the scene.

Even though he had never actually seen it before, if he were to ask what it was, it would definitely be "magic"...

The mech knight immediately understood that it was something bad for him and quickly sprinted forward, attempting to interrupt Rip's spellcasting.

When he suddenly appeared in front of Rip and threw a punch with all his might.

Rip raised the sword he had just pulled from the ground and quickly swung it backwards towards the oncoming fist.

Such speed! The mech knight immediately realized that his arm would be struck before his punch hit Rip.

But would it be like before? Just leaving a scratch and unable to cause higher damage?

As the mech knight thought this, he felt a terrifying sense of danger.

At the moment the blade touched his arm, it cleanly cut through like a hot knife through butter, without any resistance, into the mech knight's arm.

If this continued, his entire hand would be sliced off!

The mech knight immediately realized this and exerted all his strength to change his attack. Every mechanical part of his body emitted a mind-boggling overload sound.

Finally, he stopped his punch and quickly swung it outward.

The arm that was halfway cut was spared from being completely severed, and at the same time, Rip, who had swung the attack, also exposed a flaw in his movement.

Now is the time!

The mech knight grabbed the revolver on his belt, aimed at the adventurer in front of him, and vigorously pulled the trigger six times.

When he raised his arm to counter Rip's punch earlier, no matter how fast Rip's attacks were, he couldn't possibly withstand the six shots!

At this moment, Rip twisted the direction of his sword, continuously swinging it twice in a reverse grip.

These two swings were definitely not aimed at the mech knight, but at the bullets fired at him.

【Ding! Clang!】

After two crisp sounds, the six bullets scattered and fell to the ground.

The mech knight was puzzled. Clearly, Rip had only swung twice to counter the attack, but all six bullets were completely blocked...

But Yu Zilu, who was watching nearby, saw it. When Rip swung his sword, he struck the first two bullets that were fired, and the remaining four bullets were deflected and lost momentum after being hit.

This junior... How much has he grown...

"So it was indeed modified using my corpse. The rhythm of the counterattack is exactly the same as mine."With the long sword held in his hand, Rip sighed.

He shook his head and crouched down.

"Exactly for this reason, I have to go all out and kill you earlier."

After saying this, Rip's figure flashed, leaving behind a purple-blue trail as he sprinted towards the mech knight.

He swung his sword horizontally, hitting the mech knight's side waist, while pressing the button on the sword handle.

A burst of purple-blue flame erupted from the end of the sword handle, propelling the sword forward and carrying Rip's body further.

It turned out that the purple-blue trail from earlier was the trace left by the turbo flames at the end of the sword handle...

The long sword, still embedded in the mech knight's side waist, ignited intense sparks as it tore out the wires in his body.

Using the thrust from the turbo flames at the end of the sword handle, Rip sprinted to the back of the mech knight in one step.

He immediately reversed his grip on the sword in his hand and flung it like a whip towards the back of the mech knight, who had not yet turned around.

The blade immediately struck the mech knight's back, leaving a very ugly scar on his body.

At the same time, taking advantage of the sword handle pointing downward and the blade facing the mech knight's back, Rip activated the turbo flames once again.

The blade, propelled forward again, mercilessly stabbed into the mech knight's back.

Without any ability to fight back, the mech knight was directly knocked down by this strike. He fell forward, stretching out his hands in an attempt to support himself on the ground.

But it was too late. With the activation of the turbo flames earlier, Rip had already jumped up while holding the sword handle.

In mid-air, he lowered his head and looked at the mech knight, who was propping himself up with his hands. He shook his head lightly.

Bending his legs slightly to withstand the impact of landing, he pointed the long sword in his hand downward, directly towards the mech knight's back.

"It's over!"

Shouting like this, he once again activated the turbo flames, greatly increasing the speed of his descent, crashing down on the mech knight's back like a sledgehammer.

The long sword pierced through the mech knight's back and chest, smashing his body forcefully into the ground.

After a few convulsions, the armor covering his body disappeared, revealing the human underneath.

Rip took a glance and indeed, it looked exactly like himself.

As he thought this, the human body also disappeared, leaving only the whitened bones behind quickly.
