From the moment John saw the horrifying scene in the room to the moment he lost his consciousness, only a moment had passed.
The image of the pure white flower growing out of the flesh and blood still remained in his mind. The horrifying contrast made his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.
But he didn't have time to run away.
The next second, his vision was pitch black, and pain that exceeded his limits came from all over his body.
This short and long second made him despair.
He could clearly feel the blood vessels clinging to his skin and crawling into his ears, eyes, mouth, and nostrils inch by inch.
From his skin, to his internal organs, and then to his brain.
John felt that he was like a bloated leather bag filled with flesh and blood that was being stirred crazily inside. In the end, the thing that was fixed was no longer himself, nor was he a person with a concept.
At the door of the room, the middle-aged Dark Warlock paused for a moment and then lowered his head with a dull gaze.
His hand was still on the door handle, and the wriggling blood vessels on the back of his hand quickly disappeared.
"Creak —" The first website address was m.9biquge. com
John stepped back and gently closed the door again.
As he went downstairs, he muttered to himself in a daze, "I … I, I should … I should …"
As if he had just gained the ability to speak, he stuttered a lot of meaningless words.
But as he went downstairs, the speed of his speech gradually became normal.
The expression of his words also became clear.
"I should eliminate … everything that threatens the existence of the Lord …"
"Lord, your servant is here …"
"At your service."

Yau was waiting in the dark alley.
He finished smoking a cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stepped on his own shadow to crush it. He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.
Some raindrops splashed on the dial of the watch.
He frowned and wiped the raindrops with his thumb.
Half an hour had passed.
This place was less than two kilometers away from 23rd Street. With the speed of John's Shadowshape, he could reach the destination in about five minutes.
The investigation wasn't very in-depth.
Compared to the speed at which John usually carried out reconnaissance missions, this was much slower.
"Looks like this bookstore isn't simple …"
Yau let out a long breath.
He had made the right choice not to go personally out of caution.
But until now, he hadn't sensed any large-scale aether waves coming from 23rd Street, so at least there hadn't been a battle.
The biggest possibility was that John had succeeded in stealth, but the other party might have taken some defensive measures and didn't get any results.
The situation wasn't too bad, but he had probably alerted the enemy. He might have to carry out the follow-up tasks himself.
Now, he would wait for John to come back and make a plan.
Yau was very confident in John's stealth and escape abilities. After all, hybrids of humans and Dream Beasts were very rare.
Half of the Shadow Moss Worm's bloodline flowed in John's veins, so he could use Shadowform at 200%. Merging into the shadows and hiding his presence was as easy as going home for him.
"Whoosh …"
The heavy rain washed away the cigarette ashes in the blink of an eye. They followed the water flow and swirled into the sewer.
You Ai put the pocket watch back and was about to light up another cigarette when Lin Sanjiu stopped him.
But suddenly..
He had clearly put out his cigarette. Why was there still a shadow in this dark alley on a rainy day?
"Damn it!"
You Ai's expression suddenly changed. She immediately pinched the cigarette in her hand and shouted, "Fire Curse: Intense Light!"
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, the Shadowy's Shadowshape was ignited, turning into a dazzling explosion of flames. Like a bolt of lightning, it lit up the entire alley.
Light and fire were the best ways to deal with shadows!
But Yau knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for him. The rainy and humid weather greatly weakened his fire spells. Plus, the Shadowshape was only an ordinary Shadowshape cigarette.
All this meant that his Shadowshape could only delay for a few seconds and couldn't really cause any damage.
Thus, he immediately retreated and took out a red gem the size of a fingernail from his bosom.
He was sure that John was the one who had turned back.
Although he didn't know why he betrayed him, he would definitely die now!
Yau's Shadowshape was cold. "Shadowshape — Burning Earth!"
But the shadow on the ground was faster than him!
A second before he realized something was wrong, the shadow turned back into its original human form. The metal pieces it carried turned into countless sharp spears and pierced through Yue Ai's body.
"Ahhh!"
Yau was nailed to the wall of the alley by inertia. With a bang, the wall cracked like a spider web.
His eyes were red from the pain, and he screamed.
Of course, the piercing wounds weren't enough to make him look so miserable. The moment the spears pierced his body, countless barbs appeared on them. That was what made him scream.
At the same time, the violent flames roared and engulfed the entire alley, turning everything into scorched earth.
John's body, which wasn't very strong, was torn apart by the flames. In the end, he turned into ashes and became a broken silhouette in the dazzling flames.
The short confrontation came to an abrupt end.
Yau used Transfiguration to get rid of the metal spears on his body. He then used Temperature Rise to melt them into molten iron.
He gasped and covered his wounds. He staggered two steps and sneered, "I'm much better at betrayal than you are. Do you think I won't be prepared? How naive and stupid! "
The fluctuations of life disappeared in the flames. The charred silhouette turned into a statue in the middle of the alley, representing the death of this stupid Dark Warlock.
Yau reached out his hand and prepared to use Bursting Flames to end the battle.
However, the charred ashes fell to the ground and the walls. Countless blood vessels spread and covered the entire alley in the blink of an eye.
"What?!"
When Yau realized that something was wrong, the alley was already blocked by the squirming blood vessels.
He immediately released a spell. However, the rapid proliferation of these blood vessels was terrifying. They gathered in the middle of the alley at an extremely fast speed, as if they were going to devour him.
Yau's smile finally froze on his face. He looked around and showed a frightened expression. "You're not John! Who are you?! "
The blood vessels and sarcomas bulged as if they were breathing, and a sharp voice with John's voice came out. "Lord … Your servant … cleared the obstacles for you …"
Lord?
Yau caught the keyword. John's background was very clear. He had never been a follower of any church.
Why would a "lord" suddenly appear half an hour after John went to investigate?
There was only one explanation.
The owner of the bookstore! It was a warning from the owner of the bookstore!
Before being devoured, Yau's last thought flashed through his mind.
— —
Knock, knock.
He Lisi heard the knock behind him and said, "Come in. What's wrong? "
The subordinate's voice trembled. "Mr. Yau … is dead."
He Lisi's eyes turned cold. "What happened?"
The subordinate said, "Mr. Yau sent people to the bookstore on 23rd Street according to your order. However, the people he sent suddenly betrayed him and obtained unknown abilities. They killed Mr. Yau."
"Here are the photos of the scene, the identification of magic traces, and the restoration of the scene. Mr. Yau struggled to leave a … last word on the ground."
"What?"
"He said … 'Run.'"
