"You're not?"
Wang Erde narrowed his eyes. Behind the mask, his snake-like pupils looked particularly gloomy.
His tone was purely questioning. After all, it was the first time that he had encountered such a bewitching human behavior in front of Mr. Lin, who was a loyal follower of Mr. Lin, asking for help from a besieged person and slandering the bookstore.
But in the eyes of the bystanders, it carried a chilling intent.
— After all, if a person stood in front of you covered in blood and holding a weapon, you would feel terrible no matter what he said.
Congreve was naturally terrified. He was both shocked and angry. He didn't know what went wrong. How could an enemy suddenly appear at such a critical moment?
Just one more step, just one more step!
He was so close to killing Cherry!
At this moment, Congreve hated his complacent self from a few minutes ago. If he hadn't said so much, if he hadn't been given a few more minutes, maybe he would have won now …
But no matter how remorseful he was, he couldn't travel back. The only thing he could do now was to ask for help and pray.
At this moment, when he vaguely saw the fragments of the participants of the Blood Feast hanging on the tips of those tentacles, his head buzzed. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation com
Only then did he realize what nonsense he had just said.
This guy was obviously from the bookstore. Wasn't he courting death by saying that?
"No!"
Congreve shouted, "I, I am!"
No matter whether he was or not, if he could stall for a second or two, Sir Harper would have a chance to save him!
“？” As expected, Wang Erde slightly loosened his grip because of his words. He said with a smile, "Then tell me, what do you think of our great Mr. Lin?"
I haven't seen him, how would I know what to think of him!
But I'm sure that he must be a ferocious, evil, and ruthless guy. Only an evil god can control such a horrible thing. At the very least, he must be an evil god's lackey!
Congreve said viciously in his mind.
But on the surface, he still had to pretend to be pious. He forced a smile and praised, "Then he must be great, omniscient, and omnipotent …"
He recited all the praises of the gods that he knew and remembered from the existing religions, praising Mr. Lin as if he was the supreme god of the world.
Congreve said in a trembling voice as he thought of his last straw of hope to comfort the fear in his heart.
Mister Harper, who was Annihilation class, would definitely be able to save him. They were both Annihilation class, so they should be able to fight to a draw.
At that time, as long as he could escape, he could rise again.
He had a long-term relationship with the Blood Feast, and he was also the second most powerful person in the Chapman branch of the Bamboo Tree Chamber of Commerce. The Road of Fire Sword had trained him for so many years, they would definitely send people to support him.
As long as he could get out …
However, Congreve's mouth was dry from all the talking, and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak. Harper did not come to his rescue.
His voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared.
Only then did he realize that his surroundings were incomparably quiet.
Not only did they not come to save him, they even went silent.
Congreve's hair stood on end. He widened his eyes and looked at Wang Erde, only to meet a pair of mocking eyes.
"Are you waiting for him to come and save you?"
Wang Erde sneered as he let go of his hand. Grady's tentacles swarmed forward and controlled Congreve, turning him to the other side.
Congreve, who had his back to Harper since the beginning, finally saw what his last straw of hope looked like.
Grady had already taken over the entire room. His body and long tentacles were everywhere. The whole room was like a nest made of flesh and blood, constantly wriggling.
Its wolf-shaped head stretched out and swayed in the air like a snake.
As for Harper, he was in the nest, wrapped in tentacles.
His slender body was tightly wrapped, like a rag that had been squeezed out of all the water. A large amount of black, oil-like liquid gushed out from the gaps in the bandages. Some of the tentacles were directly inserted into his body, sucking his mutated flesh and blood like straws.
As a hunter, the tainted blood that Harper injected came from the Invisible Child. It was a type of black monster that did not have a fixed shape. The outer bandages were actually used to maintain his human form.
At that moment, he was really twisted like a fried dough twist. A few tentacles were stuffed into his mouth at the same time, causing him to be unable to make a sound. Only by looking at his red eyes could one tell how much pain he was in at that moment.
He was in so much pain that he even looked at Congreve with resentment.
It was as if he was saying, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Wang Erde chuckled. "I've been chasing Harper for almost 20 years. Originally, I had given up and planned to spare his life. After all, he hid so well that I couldn't find any trace of him after so many years. But now, you've sent him back to me."
As he spoke, the once legendary hunter Harper had become a long, shriveled black corpse.
Grady, who was eating heartily, tore the Annihilation-grade hunter into pieces like a spicy stick.
Congreve was wrong about one thing.
The difference between Annihilation-grade and Annihilation-grade was almost insurmountable.
Harper, who had been hiding and working for the Road of Fire Sword for so many years, did not even have a chance to fight back. He had become Grady's meal.
"By the way, I know you're not a customer of the bookstore. The reason why I'm asking for your opinion is to give you some hope before you die. At the same time, I want to hear a few words of praise for Mr. Lin to make me happy."
Congreve broke down instantly.
He shook his head crazily, crying and snot. "No! Don't kill me! You can't kill me! Behind me is the Blood Feast, the Tree Merchant Guild, and the Road of Fire Sword. You can't afford to offend them! Don't kill me. You'll regret it! "
Wang Erde chuckled and asked Grady to kill Congreve.
But at that moment, a few new auras suddenly appeared. Wang Erde looked at the people who appeared in the room cautiously and narrowed his eyes.
Another Annihilation-grade …
That's right. Among the people who had been teleported through the teleportation spell, there was another Annihilation-grade.
As soon as the person's silhouette appeared, Congreve screamed at the top of his lungs, "Master Lu, save me! Save me! I've contributed to the Road of Fire Sword. I've sacrificed my life! "
Clearly, he was also a member of the Road of Fire Sword.
And he had interacted with Congreve before.
"Noisy!"
The person with Northlander characteristics scolded. His attire was more like a warrior's outfit. He looked at Wang Erde and was about to draw his long sword.
Congreve had hope again. He looked at the Annihilation-grade Lu with hope.
Wang Erde was also ready.
This Annihilation-grade was incomparable to Harper.
But the next moment, a communication spell appeared on Warrior Lu. Then his expression changed. He waved his hand and said, "The bookstore has made a deal with the Road of Fire Sword. The higher-ups have ordered us to no longer support Congreve. Retreat!"
Everyone obeyed the order and quickly retreated, disappearing.
The scene was very awkward.
Congreve was completely dumbfounded.
The Road of Fire Sword's reinforcements came and then left. They didn't even stop.
How was that possible?!
Wasn't the bookstore an enemy? Why did the Road of Fire Sword retreat? Why did they make a deal with the bookstore?!
If the bookstore wasn't an enemy, then who was?
The bookstore wasn't an enemy. It was an ally of the Road of Fire Sword. But I treated the bookstore as an enemy.
Could it be … me?
So, I'm my own enemy?!
Congreve stared blankly as his last hope gradually disappeared before his eyes. Finally, his vision was replaced by the monster's bloody mouth.
"Burp!"
Grady burped in satisfaction after he had eaten his fill. His huge body had gained more energy, especially from the tainted blood from Harper. Black veins had appeared on his body, making him more agile.
He retracted all his tentacles and turned back into a big white dog. He blinked his black eyes innocently, stuck out his tongue, and breathed out stupidly.
Wang Erde walked up to Cherry and said, "So, little girl, are you a customer of the bookstore?"
