The inhuman monster collapsed in the ruins, and a short but thrilling battle ended.
Only then could the Logistics Department of the Miyie Tower enter to treat the wounded. Although they could not participate in the battle due to their lack of strength or different abilities, they were an indispensable part of every operation of the Miyie Tower.
Compared to the Combat Department and Cultivation Department, which were all made up of Knights, as well as the Intelligence Department, which was mostly made up of Knights, the Logistics Department was more complicated. Because they had to deal with more situations, they would usually recruit talents from other types of Extraordinaires.
Treating the wounded, wrapping up the aftermath, analyzing battlefield intelligence, and identifying aether traces were all the work of the Logistics Department.
Caroline walked into the ruins of the mansion.
Although the battle had only lasted for a few minutes, the destruction caused was already very shocking.
The entire Osvid Mansion had collapsed, and the surrounding buildings had been affected. At least half of the surrounding area had been razed. None of the servants in the mansion had survived, and the Knights near the center of the battle had not been spared either.
Due to the collision between Osvid and Ke Laode, a deep pit had been left. There were also a few ravines that looked like they had been plowed.
The ground was covered in blood, flesh, and broken limbs. These ordinary people were like paper in front of Extraordinaire power. Just a trace of power leaked out from the aftermath was enough to crush their bodies.
The Annihilation Grade was worthy of its name.
"Fortunately, this battle only lasted for a few minutes. If it had lasted any longer, I'm afraid the news tomorrow would be about the Central District being attacked by terrorists."
Even so, Caroline could not help but feel a headache coming on.
However, this was the normal state of high-level Extraordinaires, especially when the two sides were close in strength.
If the opponent's weakness was not found, the battle could last for a few days and nights, just like the battle between Yue Sefu and Wang Erde, which had flattened an entire hilly area.
However, if one side made a mistake, the battle would end very quickly.
Just like now.
Caroline silently looked at Yue Sefu, who was carefully removing Ke Laode from the claws of the monster that Osvid had turned into. She turned her gaze and looked to the side.
Over there, there was a white giant phantom that no one else could see.
"Heart Realm Virtual Image … Is that the name of this ability?"
Caroline could see some information about the giant in her field of vision. "So he got it from the bookstore. He only mastered it not long ago. No wonder I've never seen it before. Osvid also suffered from the lack of information. His rationality was reduced, and he was too arrogant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed instantly."
This was the ability that the owner of the bookstore had given her — Staring Eyes.
She had been appointed by the elders to go to the mysterious bookstore to evaluate the danger and character of the owner of the bookstore.
Furthermore, due to his correct judgment at that time, he had contributed greatly to the Miyie Tower's current decision making and was directly promoted from the vice section chief of the Logistics Section to the section chief.
In other words, she was now on the same level as Yue Sefu …
"However, that won't be the case very soon. Once this battle is over, the news that Yue Sefu has regained his strength will definitely spread like wildfire. In addition, with Osvid's death, there will be a vacancy in the position of Radiant Grand Knight, which will allow Yue Sefu to take the position …"
Caroline thought silently.
This was naturally a good thing for her. Back then, her evaluation had allowed Yue Sefu's application for the transfer of the demon sword to be approved, and the two of them had a good relationship.
After all, both of them could be considered part of the bookstore faction …
Yue Sefu's return could also strengthen her position at the same time.
Caroline collected her thoughts and walked to Yue Sefu's side.
The most important thing now was to analyze what exactly was going on with this sudden battle and the reason for Osvid's abnormality.
Yue Sefu handed Ke Laode to a medical staff and watched as they performed first aid. Then, he watched as the Logistics Section's people hurriedly sent him back to the Miyie Tower for more in-depth treatment.
If this kind of injury wasn't treated carefully, the repercussions would be very serious. Yue Sefu's many years of internal injuries had come about in this way.
"Did you see anything?"
He suddenly turned to look at Caroline and asked in a low voice.
The other traces of battle could be identified by the Logistics Section's members, but an existence of Osvid's level required a section chief to take action.
Too much mystery would affect those who attempted to investigate, so they needed to have enough strength to support it.
"Wait a moment."
Caroline stared at Osvid's corpse and activated her ability.
When she first obtained this ability, she was completely unable to control the large amount of information that constantly appeared before her eyes. Therefore, it was very painful and difficult for her to adapt.
However, after daily training, she was now able to control the power of the Staring Eye and was able to control it freely.
A large amount of information about Osvid's life first appeared on Osvid's corpse, and Caroline knew that Todd wasn't his grandson but his son …
No wonder Osvid doted on Todd so much and raised him to have such an arrogant and unrestrained personality.
It was too messy.
Caroline couldn't help but shake her head. Such a person was no longer worthy of the title of a glorious grand knight in terms of personal morality, not to mention the other things he had done. The previous investigation by the Intelligence Section wasn't fake, but the elders had connived with such a person's existence …
She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but since it involved the elders, she hesitated and chose not to use the Staring Eye's deeper ability to investigate the cause and effect of this matter.
Instead, she continued to investigate the source of Osvid's current state.
However, the more she investigated, the tighter Caroline's brows became.
"Because … I saw something … The spirit couldn't bear it and was filtered, which then affected the body. Because of the reflection of the soul, he became what he should become … What is it?"
This was the first time she encountered a situation where the Staring Eye couldn't see the real situation.
She continued to investigate and found that the Staring Eye still didn't reveal any information, as if it was avoiding something. Instead, it pointed to a part of Osvid's corpse.
Caroline squatted down and took out a blood-stained gargoyle from Osvid's clothes.
She showed a puzzled expression. She seemed to have seen this gargoyle somewhere … And why was it cracked?
Caroline read the information on it and read it at the same time, "It absorbed an incomparably powerful evil soul and is recovering and awakening …"
The gargoyle absorbed the blood, and the cracks gradually disappeared.
Yue Sefu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly reached out and pulled Caroline back. At the same time, the white giant reached out and grabbed the gargoyle.
"Swish!"
The gargoyle's eyes glowed with bloody light, and it instantly spread out its bat wings and turned into a huge shadow. It broke free from the white giant and then fled to the corner.
Yue Sefu felt a familiar aura from it, and in a flash, he understood who the mastermind behind this matter was.
He looked up and saw the old man standing in mid-air, reaching out with satisfaction to catch the shrunken gargoyle again. He roared in a low voice, "Wang Erde!"
