Fuuung!
The coffin lid was blown away from the inside with a whistling sound.
The stench of a dead body filled the air, causing Lander and the others to cover their noses and back off. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the broken body that stood up from the coffin.
It was a body that had lost almost half of its body.
It had lost its left arm, half of its ribs, and only half of its head was left.
His skin and flesh looked as if they were glued together and stuck to the broken body.
Lander's bodyguards swallowed their saliva unconsciously. Their hands that were holding their flintlock rifles started to tremble.
The strange scene in front of them had long surpassed their imagination.
Lander, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, was even paler.
The big merchant of Herl City, a former noble, had never thought that he would come across such a thing.
Even though he had encountered a monster in his house before, it was nothing compared to the horror of seeing a dead body come back to life with his own eyes.
Of course, Lander and the others were not the only ones who were horrified.
The bounty hunters and mercenaries who were hiding in the dark were holding their breaths as well.
Their experiences might be richer than Lander and the others, but at the same time, they had never experienced something like this before.
Some of the vigilant bounty hunters and mercenaries even started to back off.
The scene before their eyes made them understand that what was happening was not something they could participate in.
Bounty was good, but they needed to be alive to spend it.
However, just as they were about to make their move …
The broken 'corpse' began to move.
It dashed into the dark.
Agonizing cries sounded ceaselessly.
After a while, it came back.
The remaining half of its teeth were stained with blood, the remaining flesh and the intestines hanging on its body were enough to tell everyone what it had done.
Ugh!
Lander couldn't hold it in anymore, he started to throw up.
The other bodyguards' faces turned pale as well.
The other bounty hunters and mercenaries who were hiding in the dark started to breathe heavily as well.
However, no one dared to act recklessly.
The previous action of the broken 'corpse' was a very good warning. Neither of them wanted to become the other's next meal.
"2567, you will be skinned alive, your tendons pulled out and your stomach ripped open!
"Your skin will be hung on the wall as decoration!"
"Your tendons will become the best threads!"
"And your internal organs will be devoured by us!"
The leader of the Nights bellowed loudly.
In this solemn night, he seemed exceptionally ferocious.
"Bad taste."
Kieran said calmly.
He was not frightened at all.
He had seen too many corpses.
He had seen corpses that could come back to life before.
Although this was the first time he had seen a corpse that could eat a human, he had read about it many times in some books.
Ghouls, Night Walkers, Moon Lovers, and other monsters were all cannibals.
The only difference was whether it was eaten raw, eaten alive, or killed.
Therefore, to Kieran, the broken 'corpse' in front of him was' normal '.
Perhaps the only thing that concerned Kieran was the identity of the man.
Bartos!
The moment the man appeared, Kieran was certain of his identity.
The leader of the Night race, who was supposed to have died in that explosion, had died without a complete corpse.
Kieran had no idea how Bartos had come back to life, but Kieran was sure that his resurrection was not complete. Not only had he lost his memories, but his strength had also plummeted.
Otherwise, he would have pounced on Kieran, his enemy.
At the same time, Kieran knew what he had forgotten.
The Philosopher's Tablet!
Bartos had mentioned the Sage's Tablet.
The original tablet had been destroyed by the explosion, but the inscription had been recorded in his mind.
"Are they here for the Philosopher's Tablet?"
Kieran looked at the group of Night monsters before him.
That was the only explanation for why the Night Race had given up on their advantage of numbers. They did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, it did not mean that the Night Race did not have any extra preparations.
In fact, they were fully prepared.
Other than Bartos's' corpse ', they still had a backup plan.
The leader of the Night Race was calm and collected, giving away all the information he had.
"It's not a good habit to be stubborn before death!
Because it will only make me want to torture you even more! "
The leader of the Night Race laughed viciously, making his face look even scarier than before. A square sign appeared in his hand.
The sign was made of wood, seven to eight centimeters in length and width. The side that was facing Kieran had dozens of complicated patterns carved on it.
When Kieran laid his eyes on the sign, the dozens of patterns started to move at the same time.
It looked like a dancing snake or a strong wind blowing vines.
The patterns intertwined and moved in a messy manner.
Suddenly, a line burst out from the sign.
It looked like a plant bursting out from the ground.
Dozens of lines moved at the same time, weaving together in the air.
An eye appeared from the weave.
The eye, which was crimson and emitted a rainbow light, instantly attracted everyone's attention. Even if the eye revealed layers of fangs, sharp teeth, and swore to crush anything that entered its mouth, it would not be able to escape.
The Eye of Chimeras?!
Kieran was stunned.
Although the way it appeared was slightly different, the eye should be something similar to the Eye of Chimeras. A derivative?
Kieran couldn't find the right words to describe the feeling.
This was because when this eye appeared, his heart felt extremely repulsed, as if it was born with an aversion to it.
The feeling came from the Eye of Chimeras.
Kieran was very sure of it.
As for the reason for the rejection, Kieran had a general idea.
Like repelling each other!
It was like two beautiful women bumping into each other. There was a high chance that they would become friends, but there was a higher chance that they would become enemies.
It was because both of them shared the same beauty.
The Eye of Chimeras was in a similar situation.
It was even more thorough.
There was only one result for the Eye of Chimeras, which possessed all sorts of wicked traits.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
A heavy growl sounded in Kieran's ears.
However, no matter how loud the growl was, it couldn't shake Kieran's will.
His S rank Spirit granted Kieran a powerful resistance.
Even more so …
He could borrow the resistance to see the thoughts of the Eye of Chimeras.
That's right, it was thinking.
Thinking that was born from emotions.
It was simple yet it surpassed his instinct.
"It really is a living being!"
Kieran squinted his eyes as he already had a similar feeling. He wanted to inspect the Eye of Chimeras more carefully, but it seemed to have sensed his intention and vanished.
More precisely, the Eye of Chimeras fused back into Kieran's heart.
He had alerted the enemy!
Kieran raised a brow.
His eyes unconsciously stared at the wooden plate in the Night monster's hand.
Maybe he could …
Kieran thought of an idea.
However, Kieran's stare caused the Night Monster to misunderstand. It let out a tyrannical laugh and said, "What do you think? Do you regret it?
Do you feel like you can't move your body anymore?
Don't worry, this is just the beginning!
I've said it before! I will skin you alive and rip your tendons out! "
The Night monster's voice sounded under the night sky.
However, no one thought it was nonsense.
Everyone, including Lander, his bodyguards, bounty hunters, and mercenaries, were all immobilized, just like what the Night monster said.
They were like cattle and sheep in a pasture.
The ruthlessness on the Night monster's face grew heavier when it saw the reaction of its' food '.
And …
It was certain.
It was confident that Kieran would feel the same way.
