The God Slaying Puppet did not have any emotions. It was created with the sole purpose of killing Gods, so it would only attack targets with Origin Force and carry out its orders meticulously.
On the other hand, the old man was getting more and more restless. He urged the God-slaying Puppet to take down Merlin as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the puppet had already given its all. Due to Oravian's presence, it could not do anything to Merlin.
After recovering from the shock, a certain someone began to become arrogant again. He raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Aiyo, what are you so nervous about? Isn't everything under control? "
The old man snorted coldly and did not answer Merlin's provocation. Instead, he took out a sacred weapon from his chest and ignored the two of them. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to operate the sacred weapon.
Oravian smiled bitterly. "Senior, can't you just shut up?"
Merlin knew that he had just poked a hornet's nest. This was a rare miscalculation. From his point of view, if the enemy really had a trump card, they would have used it a long time ago. There was no reason for them to drag it out until now, unless …
Merlin was shocked. "There are monsters hiding in Solar?"
Oravian frowned. "That can't be. I've been staying in Solar all this time and I've never heard of any monsters attacking here. No monsters have even passed within a hundred miles of Solar."
The old man sneered. "That's because you can't see them."
"The sewers!" Merlin raised an eyebrow. His brain worked quickly. When he met Hastings in the sewers of Turquoise Bay, he had a similar conjecture. This kind of place that no one would usually pay attention to, as long as it was used well, could be of great use at a critical moment. However, at that time, he was not sure if Hastings had only set up an escape route in the sewers of Turquoise Bay or if he really had his eyes on this blind spot in the city.
Now, it seemed that it was the latter. Other than Blue Bay, Hastings had obviously done research on the sewers of other cities. If that was the case, not only Solar, but other cities might have been infiltrated by monsters without anyone knowing. They were hiding in the sewers, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The people above were completely unaware that they were in trouble.
Oravian's expression changed. "We have to find a way to leave this place and report this to the Magic Association."
"Want to leave? Do you think that's possible?" The old man rose to his feet and said calmly, "Solar's Magic Association has been taken down by our people a day ago. The teleportation portal has been destroyed, and no one can come to your aid. I've just awakened the monsters underground. The city gate will be conquered in fifteen minutes at most. By then, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings."
The old man paused and looked at Merlin. "Initially, I didn't want to make a move so early. This way, the arrangements in the other places might be seen through in advance. However, I received a death order. No matter what, I must kill you tonight and retrieve that Soul Flower in your body."
"Tsk tsk, my life has always been valuable, but until today, no one has been able to take it away." Merlin took the God Slaying Puppet's punch head-on and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You couldn't do anything to me before I became a god, but after I became a god, I'd like to see who can stop me."
After saying this, Merlin took a deep breath. There was no longer any hint of joking on his face, and the golden light in his eyes shone brightly.
This time, he did not evade or dodge. Instead, he clenched his fist and met the God Slaying Puppet head-on. When the God Slaying Puppet's palm landed on his shoulder, Merlin's fist also landed on the God Slaying Puppet's chest.
As a result, a crack appeared on the God Slaying Puppet's outer shell, which even a Ninth-level professional could not break!
However, Merlin did not fare well either. Half of his shoulder was completely smashed by the God Slaying Puppet.
The God Slaying Puppet seemed to have sensed an opportunity. Its red crystal eyes lit up, and its movements became even faster than before.
Only living creatures could unleash their instincts in the face of danger. It had never been heard of an inanimate object that could surpass the limits of basic attributes.
However, at least at this moment, the God Slaying Puppet had done it. This creation, which was the crystallization of the technology of the Four-eyed "human" civilization, seemed to be able to feel the mission and expectations it carried. It broke the limits set by its designer and burned itself with all its might, just to drag those lofty, greedy creatures down from their thrones.
Even the stone steps under its feet could not withstand this powerful force and began to crack. The crack on the God Slaying Puppet's chest deepened, and its body, which was harder than steel, showed faint signs of collapsing.
However, in the next moment, its target suddenly disappeared from where it stood.
The old man was shocked. Earlier, his attention had been completely drawn to the battle before him, and he had neglected Olawean. The female Wizard had destroyed the Sacred Sigil he had used to trap Merlin at some point, allowing Merlin to escape successfully.
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame Merlin's cunning. The desperate stance he had displayed earlier, in which he would fight to the death with his enemy, had successfully deceived everyone. For this, he did not hesitate to pay the price of an arm. No one would have thought that his ultimate goal was to escape.
The old man glanced at Olawean who was not far away. From the perspective of a companion, the female Wizard had clearly been tricked by Merlin as well. Now that she was the only one left, it was the most dangerous moment. However, the old man finally suppressed this tempting thought.
His target tonight was Merlin, and only Merlin. He should not waste time on unrelated people. Even if it was only for a few short minutes, Merlin could escape without a trace.
Therefore, the old man quickly retracted his gaze and led the God Slaying Puppet in pursuit.
Olawean had escaped death but she did not seem to have any intention of escaping. After a pause, she finally chose to follow the two of them from afar.
The old man frowned. For the time being, he did not have the time to care about those annoying flies. The God Slaying Puppet had just fought with Merlin and obtained his blood, so it could lock onto its target's general location. At this moment, Merlin was fleeing toward the west of the city.
The old man was afraid that if he was too late, Merlin would break through the blockade of the city gate. It had only been less than ten minutes since he had awakened those underground monsters. Most of the monsters had just emerged from the sewers, and the defenders of the city defense had not been completely eliminated. If Merlin seized this loophole and sneaked out of the city, it would be a big joke.
