Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2432 The Prophet is Dead (Thirty-Eight)

Knowing he would be rejected, the lord's behavior was somewhat unreasonable.

The fact that the target they had been tracking all along did not come to their door after losing protection also seems illogical.

Two negatives make a positive, and the act of coming to have an awkward conversation suddenly becomes suspicious.

As the person involved, Ashbringer Hollow clearly realized something and quickly got himself a blood test.

Judging from his slightly serious expression, the blood test results didn't seem to be very good.

"They did treat me to drinks, but..."

He even acknowledged the issue of payment in a slightly low voice.

Although it's clearly a bit hard to understand how certain things happened so quietly.

"Are you poisoned?"

At this moment, Crystal finally paid attention to her old acquaintance, clearly not expecting such an unexpected turn of events.

Her initial understanding of Holler's unusual behavior was very down-to-earth.

"It seems so, but it doesn't feel too strange yet... What I'm more curious about is why he did it."

Holler shook his head, indicating that he was not in too much trouble for the time being, and that he could not understand the lord's behavior.

"Does His Excellency Andil know?"

Crystal looked thoughtfully at Fu Qian, who had taken the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Isn't he supposed to have antisocial personality disorder or something, always plotting trouble? Why did he suddenly show up at our door like this? Couldn't he have been a little more careful?"

Everything is fine if you don't bring it up, but problems arise as soon as you do. To be honest, it is indeed suspicious, and it's not easy to distance yourself from it.

Unfortunately, despite the many suspicious gazes, Fu Qian remained calm and even asked in bewilderment.

……

Reasonable and well-founded.

When I first came here, Ballard commented on the lord's deeds, and I can confirm that in the Hill of the Unseen, that person was definitely not a positive character.

Therefore, the rhetorical question before the payment was so difficult to refute that it was hard to find a rebuttal.

However, Holler's carelessness cannot be entirely blamed on him.

It is clearly not a normal time right now. It can be said that everyone is shrouded in the predicament of "freedom is calling", forming a vague sense of shared hatred.

In this situation, it is easy for people to abandon some of their usual prejudices.

"Furthermore, are you sure this belongs to a lord's ability? It looks quite unique."

Seeing that no one said anything, Fu Qian gestured again towards the blood flowing from Holler.

"Not sure... but those guys always come up with new inventions."

As the person involved, Holler undoubtedly has the most right to speak.

After savoring it for a few seconds, he shook his head again, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

now it's right.

Fu Qian thought to himself.

Although that's what I said earlier, from his perspective, there's actually a more detailed interpretation of why the lord would behave this way—

Even though it was within his grasp, he stopped bothering Catherine.

Before paying, I didn't think the lord would lack the courage, especially since the returns were likely to be ridiculously high... So, by process of elimination, could it be that it's no longer necessary?
For example, even though there were obstacles and I wasn't able to complete the kill, I still managed to get some rewards.

Even the methods that Holler used, which the natives didn't recognize, were part of his gains.

As for the purpose of doing so, whether it is a new guideline or a way to suppress one's pent-up desire to follow one's nature and do evil, that is a new question worth exploring.

But all in all, this seems to be another significant gain after the carriage brought him to this bar.

In addition, the tension reached its peak.

Even superheroes have their limits when it comes to being decadent. Now that evil spirits are practically crawling all over him, if he keeps drinking, he might just die.

It's obvious that Lord Holler's anger bar is full; in a movie, he'd be at his breaking point, ready to flip the table and grab his weapon. The best part is that he's found a perfect troublemaker, stirring up the situation while remaining as uninvolved as possible.

This remains consistent with the previous principles, but contradicts the will of Akasha's team.

……

"You guys are really annoying..."

Sure enough, the voice that came from Ashbringer the next moment sounded completely different from the previous one.

The deep killing intent emanating from it would likely tear the lord to shreds if he dared to appear before him.

Click!

Even if it's not right in front of you, a freakish, hairy alien arm can already tear through the air and everything in its path, like Akasha's bone claws.

Indeed, unable to find the person in question, Holler didn't even bother to suppress his anger and wait for it to explode; instead, he directly attacked the person "within his reach" in front of him.

That's perfectly normal. When they're enraged, they all go on a rampage and kill all the red-named players.

It's not even too strange that payment was made beforehand.

In fact, as a wicked outsider, he had assessed the probability of being targeted.

However, it seems that Akasha has a worse reputation and a more distinct image.

As for the Spider Queen's reaction, it was incredibly fast; she made a defensive move almost instantly.

Unfortunately, Holler's abilities seem to be more focused on physical strength.

With a crisp sound, the bone claw broke for the second time.

Roar--

A piercing roar completely wiped out the entertainment venue.

……

As the saying goes, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

As mentioned earlier, Lord Crystal's attitude was more moderate this time, and he did not directly turn this place into an ice cave to drive people away.

However, for people who enjoy nightlife, that experience seems to be better.

When Crystal arrived, a group of people had already realized something was wrong and most of them withdrew from the area, but a few more persistent individuals remained, watching the commotion from a distance.

The final result was that they were forced to face Holler's battle cry head-on.

Fortunately, it seems that this thing mainly has a psychological effect and does not have an excessively exaggerated physical impact.

The group of people affected by the incident were stunned, as if their souls had been roared out of their bodies.

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

Even the main target, the Spider Queen, was inevitably affected to some extent and did not have time to maneuver.

With her red hair flying, she used her remaining two bone claws to meet the attack, barely managing to stop Holler's pursuit.

Click!

The cost was that one of them broke again.

"I don't have time to argue with you!"

At the same time, her angry roar clearly reflected her strong dissatisfaction.

As she used the precious time she gained, a phantom net finally took shape, and her figure suddenly became difficult to grasp.

Akasha was clearly unhappy about the fire spreading to her, and had no interest in fighting Holler here.

Although her method of stopping her wasn't exactly gentle—

Holler roared again toward the source of the sound, and as he leaped into the air, the omnipresent illusory threads transformed into slashing knives, instantly tearing open countless wounds.

However, for Holler, who was already in a manic state, such trauma seemed to further fuel his ferocity—hiss!

Until a long, icy spear pierced him completely from behind.
