"Crack —"
While she was speaking, a shocking scene appeared. Her abdomen was like the surface of a sculpture that was easily cut open by something inside. What appeared after that was neither muscle tissue nor internal organs.
Instead, it was a black hole that couldn't be seen clearly.
There was a patch of darkness within. Not to mention the end, one couldn't even sense the distance. It felt like an endless hell.
"Clang —"
Immediately afterward, the moment the darkness emerged, a pair of scarlet eyes that looked like blood moons appeared from the hole in Aoqi Orange's abdomen, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing against each other.
It was a monster, a genuine monster with at least a thousand years of mystery.
Just by looking at it directly, the group of magicians led by Lord Baruyereta and Lord Balon felt as if their eyes were on fire. The mystery of the pitch-black nature that lingered around the monster almost suffocated the magicians who were sensitive to mysteries.
It was a mystery that wasn't any weaker than Huang Jinji's beauty. Moreover, it was different from Huang Jinji's beauty that didn't have any inclination. This monster showed a strong berserk and greedy nature, as if it would tear everything in front of it into pieces and swallow it into its stomach as soon as it escaped from its cage.
"You don't have to worry. I have set it to only fight back. As long as you don't act recklessly, it won't hurt anyone other than the perpetrator."
Even though there was a black hole in her abdomen, Aozaki Orange's tone didn't change at all. She spoke with her usual calm tone as if she wasn't the one on the verge of death.
It wouldn't hurt anyone other than the perpetrator.
In other words, it would devour the perpetrator until nothing was left.
All the magicians in the hall, including Lord Baluyereta and Lord Baluyereta, retreated out of the hall before casting pitiful gazes at Pharmacist Mayo.
There was no doubt that Mayo was the perpetrator.
If he hadn't added a little trick to the medicine, the monster in Aozaki Orange's body wouldn't have appeared. Since that was the case, the monster would naturally regard him as the perpetrator.
Mayo fell to the ground in shock. The joy and fanaticism on his face had long disappeared, leaving behind only fear as if hell had descended. His face became paler than before.
"No … No! I … I haven't … haven't recreated that kind of beauty … No!!! "
The monster in Aozaki Orange's stomach seemed to have heard her cry.
However, the monster showed no mercy at all. Instead, its blood-moon-like eyes revealed an even more brutal look. Then, a dozen thorny tentacles extended from the door on its abdomen and wrapped around Ma Yue's body.
Two thorns wrapped around his ankles.
A thorn wrapped around his waist.
The remaining ten thorns wrapped around his arms, neck, and chest. The thorns pierced into his flesh, causing his clothes to quickly be dyed red with blood.
Then, like a sea beast devouring its food, it dragged him toward the door in its abdomen.
Ma Yue howled in pain as he left a long trail of blood on the ground.
Among the crowd.
Grey witnessed the tragic scene in front of her. Her left hand clasped her right shoulder tightly. Under the hood, her teeth were biting her lips. Her green pupils were trembling.
"Hey, Grey, don't tell me you want to … Wait, don't use your kindness in the wrong place!"
A voice that only Grey could hear came from the birdcage under the hood. It was Yade's voice. He had been with Grey for nearly ten years, so he could understand her thoughts and feelings.
"I didn't use it in the wrong place …"
Grey muttered to herself in a very small voice, as if she was refuting Yade's words, but also as if she was trying to convince herself. "It's the same, it's the same."
"I'm afraid that I'll be taken over by the heroes of the past and become someone I'm not. This person, on the other hand, is overwhelmed by the absolute beauty that destroys all cognition and loses himself. The only difference between us is whether we're sacrificing ourselves or others …"
Because of this difference, she was left here, while Ma Yue was brought to the other side.
"No matter what, it's too reckless. That monster isn't easy to deal with."
Yade was speechless, but he could empathize with Grey's words. So he reminded her, "That monster is no less mysterious than the Holy Spear. If you rashly make an enemy of it, you might even be dragged in by that monster."
"Yade, are you against my approach?"
"Ha! How is that possible? You used to live like a ghost. You didn't have your own opinions, and you just went with the flow. You lived in this world muddleheadedly … It's rare for you to have something you want to do, so go ahead and do it! "
"Thank you, Yade. First stage, remove the restriction!"
Everyone retreated, afraid of being targeted by the monster inside Aozaki Orange's body.
Grey was the only one who rushed forward.
Before anyone could stop her, she had already released Yade's first form. She waved her scythe and poured all her magic into it. With just one slash, she cut off all the thorny tentacles that were wrapped around Ma Yue.
Both of Ma Yue's legs had been swallowed up, but he was still barely alive. He stared blankly at Grey, who had just rescued him. His face was still covered in tears and snot, and he looked extremely ugly and miserable.
Grey reached out and grabbed Ma Yue before the thorny tentacles could reach him again. Then she forcefully pulled him back.
"Grey!"
"Grey?"
Ermero II and Lainice hurried to greet her. Grey's movements were so fast that they couldn't stop her.
"I'm sorry, Master, Miss Lainice."
Gray lowered her head and apologized to King Henry II and Lainice without the slightest bit of stubbornness. "He's the same as me … No, Mr. Mayo may be braver than me."
If she had been more determined, perhaps she would have already been reduced to a hero of the past. Perhaps she would have become someone more suited to using the Yard, and everyone in her hometown would have been delighted … She would no longer exist as she was currently struggling and painfully making choices.
However, in the end, those were just impulses from the bottom of her heart, and it wasn't enough to be used as an explanation.
"Sigh … But we lack the means to fight against that monster. It's hard for Grey to push the monster back alone."
Ermero II sighed and didn't mention Grey's actions. Instead, he turned his head to think of a way to deal with the monster.
It was true that the monster would only attack the culprit, but they had saved the culprit, so the monster saw them as enemies. If they didn't think of a way to kick the monster back, they might not be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
"Damn it. If my Moon Spirit Marrow Essence hadn't been sealed, I would have been able to help," Lynis muttered to herself.
"If that's the case, then leave it to me."
Just when they were at their wits' end, a familiar and calm voice sounded in their ears.
