Reborn with Steve Stand - Chapter 710: Danjin

“Fuck!”

Upon seeing the disassembling grinding wheel hidden inside the enhancement machine, the Manyullyn Cleaver couldn’t hold back any longer. It spun around and slashed at Kiri’s head: “I’ll kill you!”

“Ah!”

In a critical moment, Kiri quickly ducked.

The blade of the Manyullyn Cleaver grazed the top of her head, slicing the weapon display rack behind her in half.

Even the high-strength weapons on the rack were all cut down by the Manyullyn Cleaver. These ordinary weapons were not on the same level as it; even if they were enhanced, they were still no match. In an instant, the entire weapon rack collapsed to the ground with a crash, creating a chaotic scene.

“You!”

Seeing that many of the weapons on her rack were damaged, Kiri’s expression changed instantly.

But before she could say anything, the Manyullyn Cleaver had already turned its blade again, and Kiri immediately felt a strong sense of danger.

“Sir, we can discuss this…”

Seeing this, Kiri hurriedly changed her tone: “I can waive today’s enhancement fee, let’s just…”

But before she could finish her sentence.

The Manyullyn Cleaver attacked again.

Seeing this, Kiri had no choice but to dodge sideways, but at the same time, she pulled out a revolver from behind and fired at the Manyullyn Cleaver.

The revolver in her hand was an unnaturally blood-red color, clearly having been enhanced many times. Just looking at it, one could feel the enormous energy within, and its power was indeed formidable. Even the Manyullyn Cleaver paused for a moment when struck.

But it must be known that Fang Mo’s weapon was enchanted with Unbreakable.

Bullets were useless against it, even an atomic bomb wouldn’t work. Even if it were truly shattered, it would instantly restore itself in the next second.

“Damn it, you dare fight back!”

After being shot, the Manyullyn Cleaver seemed even angrier, its entire blade uncontrollably trembling.

In the next second, it ceased its slashing and instead thrust the blade tip towards Kiri with a sudden stab. The speed was so fast it was like a lightning flash, and the onlookers around couldn’t react in time, only seeing a purple streak piercing through the air.

Facing this, Kiri was scared out of her wits and desperately tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, the Manyullyn Cleaver was too fast.

As a weapon that had been with Fang Mo from the beginning, its enchantments and enhancements were maxed out, with attributes like Power X, Sharpness X, Efficiency X… Not to mention the many enhancements from the Tinker’ Construct. This strike could hardly be withstood by more than three people in Hendon Myre.

Though Kiri tried her best to avoid the blade tip.

The edge of the Manyullyn Cleaver still cut across her left waist.

“Ahhh…”

Kiri’s face twisted in pain, her body collapsing to the ground.

But the Manyullyn Cleaver paid no mind to this.

With a flip, the blade spun back.

Before Kiri, lying on the ground, could react, she was beheaded, blood spurting several meters high like a fountain.

“Wow, even the blood of these people from Heaven sprays higher,” Fang Mo commented.

“Someone’s been killed…” However, unlike Fang Mo, the surrounding onlookers panicked upon realizing a person had actually been killed. They started screaming: “Someone’s been killed!!!”

Some even immediately ran to call the guards.

“What’s all the shouting for?”

Hearing this, the Manyullyn Cleaver became even more annoyed: “She can try to kill me, but I can’t kill her? If you keep shouting, I’ll kill you too…”

But before it could finish speaking.

A hand suddenly rested on its hilt.

“Huh? Master?”

The Manyullyn Cleaver paused, then hesitantly spoke: “Master, do you also think I was wrong?”

“I…”

“Master, this really isn’t my fault.”

Before Fang Mo could speak, the Manyullyn Cleaver began to complain pitifully: “If you wanted me to die, I’d do it without hesitation! Whether you ate me or threw me into the void, I’d only blame myself for being useless…”

“No, I’m not blaming you.”

Fang Mo shrugged.

“But she wanted to kill me! What, just because I’m a sword, my life doesn’t matter? So her life… wait?”

The Manyullyn Cleaver suddenly stopped: “What did you just say, Master?”

“I said I’m not blaming you.”

Fang Mo repeated.

“Haha, Master, you’re the best!” The Manyullyn Cleaver laughed: “I knew you loved Little Cleaver the most!”

“Can you please come up with a better name…”

Fang Mo speechlessly rubbed his forehead.

“Alright, I’ll listen to the master. Master, you can call me whatever you want,” Manyullyn Cleaver said happily, “As long as it’s a name given by the master, I’m fine with it, even if you want to call me ‘Little Rainbow.”

“What rainbow? You’re clearly purple!”

“Hehe, then I can be called ‘Purple Joy’…”

“Enough with the nonsense.”

Fang Mo rubbed his temples, “Although I don’t blame you, your recent actions were indeed problematic.”

“…Huh?”

Manyullyn Cleaver was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to realize something and said, “Oh, I get it, Master. I remember you usually turn such people into stuffing!”

“Ahem, turning into stuffing is indeed one way to resolve it…”

Fang Mo coughed lightly, “But look at Jason in ‘Cotton Water Moon’, Szayelaporro Granz in ‘Pure White Temporal Cesspool’, and oh, right, Cthulhu in ‘R’lyeh’. Do you get what I mean?”

“No, please explain in detail, Master…”

“You…” Fang Mo glared at Manyullyn Cleaver, “For some people, dying is too good for them. Understand?”

“Got it!”

Manyullyn Cleaver responded, “But Master, I’ve already killed her, what should we do now?”

“What should we do? Bring her back.”

During the conversation, Fang Mo had already instructed Steve to set up a dark altar. At this moment, he raised his hand and pointed forward, activating the Book of the Abyss. The ancient and forbidden dark ritual started to operate, and with the influx of blasphemous characters into the altar, Kiri soon stood up with a confused look.

“W-What’s happening?”

Kiri instinctively touched her neck. Although her memory was a bit fuzzy, she vaguely remembered being killed by that sword. But now, what was happening?

“Oh, you’re awake?”

Fang Mo smiled and greeted Kiri, “You just turned from Kiri to Ki-ke, but don’t worry, I’ve turned you back.”

“…Huh?”

Kiri was even more puzzled after hearing this.

“W-What?”

Not only Kiri, but the surrounding crowd was also utterly baffled. They had clearly seen the sword kill someone, the blood on the ground hadn’t even coagulated yet. But now the person who had been killed was standing up again. What kind of magic was this? The crowd exchanged confused glances, not knowing what to do.

Just then, urgent footsteps were heard in the distance.

“The guards are coming! The guards are coming!”

Someone shouted, and the surrounding crowd quickly parted to make way. Soon, a team of armored kingdom guards ran over.

“What happened here?”

The leading soldier quickly asked, “I heard there was a murder here, who is the killer?”

“Uh…”

Hearing the soldier’s question, the crowd instinctively glanced at Fang Mo not far away.

“Nonsense! What murder?”

At this moment, Fang Mo suddenly shouted sternly, “This Kiri is a swindler who cheats and deceives. No one cared when we adventurers were scammed, and now that the swindler has been exposed, you come to stop us… What? Is the Principality of Bel Myre all about collusion between officials and merchants?”

“…What?”

Hearing this, the soldier was clearly stunned. He looked around and saw Kiri unharmed, so his expression became strange.

Indeed, the guards of Hendon Myre had received reports that Kiri, the enhancement merchant on Central Street, had been killed. He hurriedly brought people over… but now Kiri was fine. Were the previous reports false?

Thinking this, the soldier hesitated.

Taking advantage of this hesitation, Fang Mo acted again.

He stepped forward, grabbed Kiri by the collar, and questioned the guards nearby: “This scoundrel used a disassembly machine as an enhancement machine for us… It shattered countless pieces of our adventurers’ equipment. Did you know about this?”

“Huh???”

Upon hearing this, even the guards were shocked. The soldiers exchanged glances: “Is this really happening!?”

“He’s telling the truth!”

Soon, an adventurer shouted: “You can check the enhancement furnace yourselves!”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, the soldiers instinctively turned to look.

And just one glance made their faces turn exceptionally grim.

Indeed, inside this so-called enhancement furnace, they saw a very familiar device, the disassembly machine. This machine was developed by Norton, the leading alchemist of the Principality of Bel Myre, so they quickly recognized it.

It was clearly a disassembly machine.

Yet here it was, inexplicably placed inside the enhancement furnace.

These soldiers were not fools. Seeing this, they instantly realized the situation. Even they had enhanced equipment with Kiri, so they were now gritting their teeth in anger.

“The famous blacksmith Linus from the Elven Defense Line once said to treat equipment like a lover.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Fang Mo continued: “To us adventurers, you know how important our equipment is. Kiri has killed many of our ‘lovers’ and scammed us of our money… Our enmity with her is irreconcilable!”

“Yes! Irreconcilable!”

“Ransack her place! Ransack her place!”

“Don’t hold me back! I’m going to use my Mountain Splitting Slash!”

The adventurers couldn’t hold back any longer. A berserker clad in golden armor, blood surging around him, was on the verge of losing control.

“Calm down, brother! Calm down!”

Fortunately, others reacted quickly and restrained him: “You have a stronger weapon now, don’t you? Think about how good Klont is to you! Next time we’ll only amplify, no more enhancements!”

“So… did you know about this?”

Fang Mo ignored the commotion and kept his gaze on the distant soldiers: “If you were aware, does that mean the Principality of Bel Myre doesn’t care about us adventurers?”

As soon as he said this, all the adventurers turned their attention to them.

“No, sorry.”

The soldiers quickly clarified: “We were unaware of this matter.”

“Good, then this has nothing to do with you.” Fang Mo smiled and nodded: “This is a personal vendetta between us adventurers and her. You may leave.”

“Please go ahead.”

The leading soldier nodded: “But remember, this is the central street of Hendon Myre, so try not to cause any fatalities. Otherwise, we can’t report back to the queen…”

“Oh, don’t worry.”

Fang Mo laughed upon hearing this and turned to look at Kiri, making her shiver: “I’ll deal with her using her own methods.”

“Then we’ll take our leave.”

The guards wisely left quickly.

After the guards departed, Fang Mo glanced around the crowd and soon noticed a peculiar figure wearing a pot on his head.

This person, draped in a cloak and wearing green armor, seemed normal at first glance. However, he had a large clay pot on his head with two holes for eyes, watching the scene. When he noticed Fang Mo looking at him, he tried to leave.

“You, stop.”

Fang Mo raised his hand, giving him no chance to escape: “Yes, you, Pot Monster.”

“…”

The figure stiffened but turned around quickly, walking toward Fang Mo while explaining: “Actually, my name is Danjin.”

“That’s not important.”

Fang Mo casually tossed a gold ingot over: “I’ll buy one of your pots.”

“?”

Danjin was stunned for a moment but quickly took out a small pot from behind and handed it to Fang Mo. “Uh… I wish you great fortune.”

Fang Mo didn’t say a word and crushed the pot with one hand.

The next second, a burst of light emerged from the pot. Fang Mo looked down and found a uniquely shaped small staff, shimmering with a hazy glow.

“Oh my, what luck.”

Seeing this, the Danjin clapped his hands amusingly and said, “This is a legacy weapon. This is the last pot I have today, and I didn’t expect it to yield something.”

“…Alright.”

Fang Mo glanced at the wand in his hand and casually stuffed it into his storage space. He then snatched the glowing revolver from Kiri.

“Give it back to me!”

Kiri was suddenly anxious. “This weapon barely reached level 20…”

However, she immediately shut her mouth halfway through her sentence.

But it was too late to keep quiet now. In an instant, the surrounding adventurers’ eyes turned red, and the red-eyed berserker in golden armor stood up directly, “You managed to get your weapon to level 20!?”

“…”

Kiri turned her head away and immediately fell silent.

“Don’t worry, I mean no harm.”

Fang Mo ignored Kiri and instead smiled at the Danjin. “I want to do some business with you, guaranteed profit without loss.”

“Business?”

The Danjin was taken aback. “What kind of business?”

Fang Mo smiled and then disassembled the revolver into several parts, handing them to the Danjin. “Take these and put them in the small pots. Let this lady draw… If she gets it, return it to her, understand?”

“This doesn’t seem right.”

The Danjin said hesitantly.

“I think the pot on your head is quite suitable for holding ashes,” Fang Mo said with a smile. “I remember you have brothers named Manjin, Arin, Pokin, Kardin and Senior. A family should stick together…”

“Cough, cough, I agree.”

Hearing this, the Danjin quickly nodded.

“That’s more like it.”

Fang Mo laughed, then summoned Steve and a crafting table, and crafted a strange green helmet on the spot. He carved the words ‘I am a fraud’ on it with his finger, then added Unbreakable and binding curses to it before slamming it on Kiri’s head.

“Alright, it’s done now.”

While Kiri was still dazed, Fang Mo smiled at her, “This thing… you can’t take it off unless you use a specific magic book.”

With that said.

Fang Mo took out a book and handed it to the Danjin. “Take this too, put it in a pot, and let her draw it. Price is up to you.”

“I…”

The Danjin was about to say something.

But the next second, he suddenly felt something move in his palm. It seemed something had appeared there, making him slightly stunned.

“Alright, you can leave now.”

Fang Mo waved his hand, directly dismissing the Danjin.

Though a bit confused, the Danjin was also somewhat afraid of Fang Mo. His methods were simply too bizarre. So, he quickly ran off, and only after running far did he look down at his palm, discovering a small note hidden there.

Curious, he opened the note.

It contained just one sentence.

“Make her wear it for life.”
