Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 190 - 187-Bunny: Stop It, I’m Seriously Gonna Pee Myself
When three teleportation portals opened outside the fortress, the return of Velen and his party immediately drew attention.
"They're back already?"
"Who else but Velen would squander Spatial Portals like this? What a prodigal…"
Sensing their presence, Anastasia instantly interrupted her meditation and hurried over.
She hadn't been able to join the raid, but she was definitely curious about what kind of loot they had scored this time.
In front of Bunny's cabin.
"Bunny, even though you've obtained an Essence of Power, rapid strength gains can make your foundation unstable. So I've found a special instructor for you," Velen said seriously.
Bunny froze, then smugly glanced at Ironback Centipede.
See that? This is the kind of treatment I get.
Ironback Centipede was, in fact, jealous—who else in the whole fortress ever got this kind of privilege?
"Master, who did you find to train me?"
As soon as the words left Bunny's mouth, the space behind him suddenly tore open.
A red-haired, one-eyed man with a blood-colored scythe stepped out, a bloodthirsty grin on his face.
"Aw hell no!"
Velen and Ironback Centipede exclaimed in unison.
They never expected the system to send that maniac!
Ironback Centipede began trembling all over.
"Master, are you sure this is training… or is he here to dissect Bunny for research?"
"Master, who is he?" Bunny asked again, oblivious and full of anticipation.
Smack!
The one-eyed man gently tapped Bunny's back with his scythe, his eye gleaming with excitement—this time, he could stay outside for a long while.
"Quit messing around!"
Bunny swatted back in annoyance—
Then froze completely.
"I—I… what the heck…"
Bunny leapt behind Velen, his voice trembling.
"M-Master, d-don't tell me he's the instructor you meant?"
"That's right," Velen replied sympathetically. "He'll be guiding you from now on."
Just then, Anastasia arrived at the courtyard, mid-sentence.
"Velen, about the loot you—"
But the sight of the one-eyed man made her voice die in her throat.
"Oh great fortress master! Save me!"
Bunny bolted toward Anastasia like she was his last hope.
"Velen wants that psycho to train me—I'm gonna die!"
Swish!
A flash of silver.
Anastasia's silver longsword was suddenly at Bunny's throat.
"Get back."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Bunny ran back to Velen, sobbing.
He felt like the entire world had turned against him.
"Anastasia, you needed something?" Velen asked.
"No… nothing," she said quickly.
"Just… been meditating too long. Needed some fresh air."
"You guys carry on. I'll be going."
She turned on her heel and left immediately, still rattled.
She'd rather face that battle maniac from the heavens than deal with the creepy one-eyed man.
"Master, since I've got some spare time, I could train a few more while I'm here," the red-haired man said respectfully.
"Who did you have in mind?"
"You can train whoever you want. It's an honor for them," Velen replied.
This guy might be nuts, but getting trained by someone of his level was an unbelievable opportunity.
"That one."
He pointed his blood-colored sword at Ironback Centipede.
Thud!
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
Ironback Centipede collapsed to the ground, filled with utter despair.
"Anyone else?" Velen asked, amused.
Moments later, the red-haired man returned with Apollo and Ethan in tow.
Velen couldn't help but chuckle.
So he's planning to train every Ascended Rank in the fortress, huh?
"Your Highness, could I buy a soul crystal from you?"
A Spatial Rift opened suddenly, and Arthur's voice came through first.
"I want to hide a dagger inside my spear handle."
Hmm?
Arthur stepped out of the rift—
And instantly noticed the red-haired one-eyed man staring at him with bloodthirsty intent.
Arthur paused.
"What're you lookin' at?" he snapped.
By the gods!
Ironback Centipede, Apollo, and the others were stunned.
Even if you couldn't read his aura, his presence alone screamed danger.
"Interesting…"
Arthur took a few steps back, then pulled out his soul spear.
Grinning, he turned to Velen.
"Your Highness, you don't mind if I spar with one of your fortress elites, right?"
Hahahaha!
The red-haired man was thrilled.
Back where he came from, the other nine either refused to fight him or could beat him—
He was long overdue for a proper brawl.
Even if the opponent was weak, at least it would be something.
Frenzied. Bloodthirsty. Mad.
When he unleashed his true aura, Arthur was stunned—
This wasn't the same guy from moments ago!
What the hell is he?!
A creeping dread rose from within.
"He's one of ours," Velen quickly said.
"Just a friendly match—don't hurt him."
"Arthur, this crystal's yours," Velen added, placing down a fist-sized soul crystal.
"Take it with you when you're done."
Then he turned and left the courtyard.
He had no interest in watching a completely one-sided fight.
As for the crystal? Consider it compensation for Arthur's mental trauma.
After all, it took guts to challenge that guy.
Boom!
As Velen left, blood-red energy exploded from the red-haired man, space collapsing around him.
He stepped into the chaotic flows of the void!
"Draw your weapon!" he cackled.
Draw my—?!
You're literally standing in the middle of spatial turbulence—how am I supposed to fight you?!
He could rip space apart and ignore the chaotic laws of the void—
How was that even possible on the material plane?!
Even as an Ascended Rank, Arthur couldn't tear through space even if he went all out!
Insane. Totally insane.
Arthur suddenly wanted to slap himself—Why did I provoke this lunatic?!
"Sleep! Sleep!"
"I'll check tomorrow's special refresh."
"Now that the system has dealt with all the potential threats, I can focus on blowing money again."
"Still a long way from earning the pass. Time's already half gone, gotta hurry…"
Back in his room, Velen lay down comfortably.
Uno Kingdom, Kris's residence.
"Arthur, did you manage to buy the soul crystal?" Kris asked as Arthur stepped out of a Spatial Rift.
Rip!
Arthur tore off his shirt, revealing a body covered in bloodstained scratches.
Gasp!
Kris sucked in a breath.
From a distance, it looked like he'd been drenched in blood.
Up close, it was dozens—no, hundreds—of shallow cuts, each leaking beads of blood.
"They're all surface wounds. One healing potion will fix it."
"If His Highness hadn't warned him, I'd have been filleted like sushi."
"That one-eyed psycho is terrifying! In front of him, I didn't even have the right to fight back!"
Arthur looked at Kris gravely.
"Don't even bother warning the king. Say what you will—if the king dares provoke that fortress, I'll ascend and turn traitor on the spot."
With that, he turned and left, leaving Kris in stunned silence.
The next morning.
First thing Velen did upon waking up was check the day's special item:
Today's Special Item: Starry Stone × 100,000
What?!
Velen couldn't believe his eyes.
A hut shining like a palace of stars—it was finally time to start building!
Fortress Hall.
"VELEN!!!"
Upon hearing that Velen was going to use a hundred thousand Starry Stones to build a thatched hut, Anastasia nearly passed out from sheer fury.
