Not only could George's blood alleviate the holy poison in the Man Killer Fiend's body, but it could also help it block out the Holy Oracles on the wall. That was why when the Punishment Paladin's body was tossed down the well, Erinya was ecstatic. Suppressing its desire, it tore the corpse into pieces and smeared them on the wall.
Erinya's movements were both fast and cunning. When the Holy Oracles lost their effect, it didn't immediately leave through the well, but instead chose to dig a tunnel from the bottom of the well. This monster's claws were incredibly hard, comparable to the sharpest swords. The rocks and soil underground couldn't stop it at all.
Erinya wasn't in a hurry to show itself. Its tunnel stopped about a foot and a half from the surface. After that, the monster put its ear on the wall and carefully listened for any movements below. The first thing the Man Killer Fiend heard were some messy footsteps, but it didn't take long for those footsteps to disappear, leaving only two humans on the surface.
No, to be more precise, there were three humans, but one of them was sleeping in the arms of the other.
Erinia's heart was instantly filled with excitement. These days down in the well were too hard for it to endure, its only joy was hunting wild cats, but a wild cat's intelligence was limited, so it was easy for it to get bored after a while. The Man Killer Fiend had always craved fresh prey, and humans were always its favorite prey on the hunting list.
Under normal circumstances, according to Erinia's hunting habits, it preferred to prey on young infants. Among the three humans above, the currently sleeping girl was undoubtedly the youngest, but for some reason, the Man Killer Fiend subconsciously didn't want to get close to the person with her, as that person had a very familiar aura to it.
Erinya's target was the woman who was alone. Erinya knew that the woman was from the Holy Church, and she had come to the well several times recently, so the Man Killer Fiend was already familiar with her footsteps. No Return didn't have a good impression of the Holy Church Erinya that imprisoned it. Its body was still infected with the holy poison from the [Heretic Inquisition], so it couldn't escape for the rest of its life. However, there was still a long time before it would relapse again, so at least during this time, it had absolute freedom.
It intended to make use of this rare time to enjoy the happiness it had not experienced for a long time.
Erinia quietly dug the tunnel behind Isabelle. What happened next was just as it expected. When it broke out of the ground, the target did not even have time to react. The stupid woman did not even realize what was happening. It easily plucked the still-beating heart from the female Magician's chest.
While munching on the fresh snacks it had just picked, Erinia looked curiously at the young man and girl in front of it, measuring their strength. It was sure that it had never seen these two before, but that sense of familiarity did not fade away.
Erinia was a bit confused, not knowing where this sense of familiarity came from. The Man Killer Fiend glanced at Lolo in Rob's arms. This girl was undoubtedly a lot younger than the female Magician it had just killed, the type that it liked the most. At this time, she was unconscious and completely defenseless. She was like a creamy biscuit, constantly tempting it and tickling its heart.
However, Erinya forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart, the reason for that was because of the thing that was holding him. Man Killer Fiends were rare monsters with intelligence close to that of humans, so based on the current situation and the noises it heard from inside the well, it was able to roughly guess what happened here.
The guy in front of it broke into the secret base of the Temple of Light by himself and faced four experts from the Court of Heresy alone. In the end, not only did he kill three of them, but he also slaughtered all the Abyssal creatures summoned by the Gates of Hell. He was obviously a ruthless character. After the Man Killer Fiend measured the strength of both sides, it realized that it was not completely confident that it could kill him.
So after thinking for a while, Erinia chose to give up. It actually stretched out its small hand and made a 'please' gesture like a human. This city had a population of hundreds of thousands of people, and there were plenty of prey for it to kill for fun, so there was no need to provoke a powerful existence for the sake of a dispensable prey.
This gesture also represented Erinia's recognition of the other party's strength.
Unfortunately, the guy in front of it did not appreciate it. Archmage just stood there without moving, showing no signs of leaving. "It's only been half a month. Have you already forgotten about me?"
Erinia's pupils shrank. It saw No.2 in Rob's hand turn into a golden staff. The Man Killer Fiend suddenly remembered the masked man it met at the bottom of the lake that night, as well as the shot that almost took its life. It finally understood where that strange sense of familiarity came from. Erinia's expression suddenly became ferocious. Its baby face showed a hateful expression, and all the scales on its body stood up.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor also clenched the staff in his hand, on high alert. In fact, the current situation was even more disadvantageous for him. In just a dozen days, this Erinia had not only recovered from its injuries, but it also seemed to have evolved again. It was faster, stronger, and more cunning than before.
On the other hand, on the Archmage's side, Rob had just gone through two battles. Both his body and mind were exhausted, and this kind of exhaustion would directly affect his performance in the upcoming battles. His judgment and calculation abilities were both declining, but what was more critical was his mana. In the previous battles, he had consumed a lot of mana. Although endurance had always been Rob's strength, whether it was teleportation across half of the city, the special magic array carved on the wall, or the seal on the Hell's Gate, they all consumed a lot of mana. Now, he had very little mana left. In fact, it would be very difficult for him to finish another high-intensity battle.
It was obviously not a wise move to provoke the monster in front of him now. However, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor still did not leave. At least Isabelle was right about one thing. With the density of people in Gudilesi, if this monster was allowed to roam freely, it would definitely bring a disaster to the city. Although there were many mages in the university town, and there was even a 9th grade Supreme Magus, this monster was very cunning. Once it escaped, it would not be easy to catch it again. Before that, countless parents would lose their children, and countless families would fall into tragedy.
And tonight, the only person who could stop all this was standing in front of this monster.
