Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

After scolding Sonia as worthless and making her so angry that her whole body was shaking but her lips were pale and she couldn't say anything, Ye He got up and left the tavern with satisfaction.

In fact, Sonia was not as bad as Ye He scolded her, but in order to make these Belmonts pay more for their heirlooms, Ye He had to use some tricks.

After leaving the tavern, Ye He came to the storage area behind the hotel, waiting for his men to sort the incoming supplies.

Today, he is in a good mood because the expedition team has returned and a lot of fresh blood has joined, so he plans to go to Eternal Night City in person with the supplies to be sent to Eternal Night City.

"As you wish?"

Fei'er, who was working part-time as Ye He's warehouse manager, made a look at Ye He who looked very pleased.

Because in the past week, Bruce and Griffith had to go to the Gobi Desert to train every day, often leaving early and returning late, and always coming back with scars all over their bodies.

So Fei'er couldn't show any good face to Ye He who suggested Bruce to become stronger so hard.

"No, no, everything is going according to plan."

Of course, you have to say different things to different people. Ye He would not offend Fei'er, a wise man on his side, so he specially smiled at Fei'er.

"Humph!"

"hehe."

Ye He sneered, then looked over Fei'er's head at the Gobi Desert where Bruce and Griffith often went.

He doesn't need to worry about this side, but... what about that other guy?

Where's Krent? It's been almost ten days, why hasn't he come back yet?
……

When Ye He remembered Klent, Klent was almost dead.

At this moment, Krent was lying powerlessly in the darkness, with half of his face buried in the puddle on the ground that was being dyed red by the blood flowing from his body.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

He tried his best to cough out the blood in his lungs, and then used his only remaining right hand, which was still able to exert force, to barely prop up his upper body.

The wind pressure coming from above and the rapidly boiling sense of fatal crisis pressure made Krent's body burst out with the last bit of will to survive.

He slammed the ground with his right hand, launched his body upward, and then fell backward.

"boom!"

A huge black shadow descended from the sky and stepped on a big hole where Krent had just been lying.

The explosive air wave blew Krent's body further away. As for the close-range concussion injuries... Krent no longer needed to care about such details at this time.

His body curled up and tumbled, and finally rolled down to a relatively solid corner of the wall along with some rubble and broken wooden boards that were also blown away.

Krent did not feel dizzy after hitting the back of his head against the wall. On the contrary, the piercing pain made him regain more consciousness and strength.

He supported his body with his broken left foot and his only intact right hand, and forced himself to move along the wall at a speed that seemed surprisingly agile.

"boom!"

It was still a shadow that fell from the sky, and it accurately destroyed the corner of the wall that hit the back of Krent's head, crushing the poor rubble and broken wooden boards at the bottom of the pit blasted out by its powerful force.

Is the true identity of this shadow a giant, a humanoid enemy wielding heavy weapons, or a monster of gigantic size?

Forgive Krent, he didn't have time to figure out the enemy's true identity, so he knew nothing at all.

He had been operating in this dark Yharnam city for at least a week, but not only did he not find any familiar people or objects, he was even severely injured and dying by this terrible enemy today!
Krent didn't dare to feel carefully whether his left hand and right foot were still there, nor did he dare to think about how much blood he had lost.

He was worried that he would be completely frightened by his injuries, lose his last will to live, and die completely under the attack from the sky.

But...it's almost the same.

Krent felt that he really couldn't hold on any longer!
He just tried his best to wave the limbs that could still move, so that he could move forward along this inexplicably long corner of the wall.

There were continuous explosion-like sounds coming from behind him, and each time, air waves and debris hit Krent's scarred back.

This feeling told Krent that he had not distanced himself from the attacking enemy at all.

And his fighting spirit also told him that the enemy's attack did not slow down due to fatigue. On the contrary, each attack was shortening by about 0.1 seconds!
The numb body was eroding Krent's will. In this desperate escape, the faces of all the people he knew kept appearing in Krent's mind.

From childhood neighbors... to colleagues in the patrol team...

From my first love who has already married and had children... to the girl who still refuses to name herself...

From a woman who was under the influence of a demon and refused to put on her clothes... to Ye He saying "Amen" when he pointed the muzzle of Westchester's gun at the head of a dying prostitute...

The pictures become more and more numerous and more and more confusing, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

Finally, a strange figure seemed to appear in front of Krent.

He didn't get a clear look at the strange figure, he could only confirm that the other person made him feel both familiar and strange.

Krent had the feeling that he had seen him more times than anyone else, but he couldn't figure out what he looked like or call out his name.

The only thing about the other party that Krent could see clearly was his white hair...

"boom!"

The most recent bombardment occurred almost right behind Krent, causing him to vomit blood and fly forward.

But what Krent didn't expect was that this time he didn't fall on the road, but seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, and began to fall... fall... fall...

This period of falling time was too long... so long that the injuries in Krent's body completely erupted, causing him to gradually lose consciousness...

"Pfft!"

The final feeling was that you fell into a lake?

tsk...

Krent had completely lost consciousness and couldn't even see that he had fallen into a pool of water filled with a light green glow.

"Da da da……"

The sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out in a dark passage at the edge of the pool.

A lady, who was adorned with many gold and silver pendants, but only with these gold and silver pendants, made her look noble, gorgeous and charming, finally came to the edge of the pool filled with light green light.

On her beautiful face, a white cloth was wrapped around her eyes. This was the only cloth on her body.

But this attire did not seem to affect her vision. She stretched out her hands, lightly touched the still rippling surface of the pool, and then slowly raised her palms.

An invisible force pulled Krent, who had fallen into the pool, up. Krent, who had lost all the scars on his body and looked intact and healthy, floated in the air in front of her. "Finally... here..."

The blindfolded lady uttered a sentence in standard continental common language, but unfortunately Krent was still unconscious due to his serious injuries and did not hear her voice.

"Boom!!!"

It seemed that her voice was transmitted to the darkness through the hole where Krent fell. Wind pressure from top to bottom suddenly appeared, blowing the ends of her hair backwards.

but……

"Shh!"

A brilliant fluorescent green sword light suddenly flew upward from the edge of the pool and broke through all the darkness in the blink of an eye!

This sword light also illuminated the darkness. It turned out that the enemy who had severely injured and chased Krent for so long was actually a... calf with feet that was more than 20 meters tall!

There is not a trace of flesh on its surface, and there are no other bones or limbs from the kneecap upwards, so a more accurate description should be:
This is a "giant"'s tibia!
When the sword light touched the sole of its foot that almost crushed Krent into a meat paste, the fluorescent green sword light seemed to have not touched any obstacles. It instantly passed through the sole of the foot and then cut all the way up along the giant's calf bone!

Even after cutting vertically the leg bone with a diameter of several meters, the sword light continued to move upward until it penetrated the darkness and disappeared completely into the endless dark sky.

The cut leg bones quickly disappeared into the surrounding darkness, as if they had merged back into the darkness.

The lady in front of the pool continued to hold her hands and lead the still unconscious Krent back the way they came.

It was not until the sound of her golden high-heeled shoes completely disappeared in the darkness that on the other side of the pool, from the darkness where the terrifying sword light had just appeared, an inaudible sound of a sword being sheathed was heard.

Everything returned to calm, everything returned to darkness. Except for the lake water that was still emitting a fluorescent green glow, it seemed that nothing had happened here, and it would remain like this forever.

……

"Wake up."

The moment he heard the voice, Krent almost opened his eyes.

His consciousness was recovering rapidly, his sanity was returning, his thoughts were diverging, and his ideas were arising.

First of all, I am not dead.

Secondly, I don’t feel any pain.

Not only did the pain in my body go away, but even my limbs recovered?

Finally, through his still closed eyelids, Krent "saw" a ray of light that might have belonged to a candle, or a torch that was inserted farther away!

bright!

Then Krent opened his eyes.

He did not immediately try to determine the location of the light source, but instead looked towards the darkest part of the room.

Although he recovered his health miraculously, he could not be sure what the people who treated him were thinking.

Although this behavior was a bit overly cautious, in a place like Yharnam, Krent felt that he could not be too cautious.

It is a dark place with monsters running rampant, which is the environment most likely to distort human will.

Fortunately, the darkest corner is just an empty wall.

From here, Krent took a quick look around the room.

He even skipped over the figure standing next to him, and only fixed his eyes on the figure after confirming the structure of this seemingly ordinary room.

The lady, who was only covered with a blindfold, did not cause Krent to feel any embarrassment.

He scanned the lady's body very impolitely, and only after confirming that she had no weapons did he sit up cautiously and ask the lady:

"Did you...save me?"

“No,” the lady shook her head at Krent, and this action made the gold and silver jewelry on her forehead, neck, and earlobes shine.

By the way, the light source in the room was a candle, which was on a wall candlestick less than two meters away from Krent.

"You fell into the Holy Spring of the Moon. The Holy Spring has the ability to cleanse the soul and heal all injuries. I just picked you up from the Holy Spring and brought you here."

Before she finished speaking, and before Klent could continue to ask questions, the lady introduced herself to Klent:
“My name is Joseph Ka, I’m a doctor at the Moon Healing Church, you can call me Doctor Joseph Ka.

This is the Healing Church, and next door is the New Capital. You have been chased here by a dark monster from the edge of the Old Capital.

Please rest assured that you are safe here, you can take a good rest, there is food and clean water here.

If you have any other needs, you can always ask me, I will meet all your needs. "

Josephka pointed to the black bread and kettle on the table beside him, and then made a gesture of opening his arms to Klent.

It was obvious that she wouldn't mind even if Klent asked her to sleep with him. Her attitude towards Klent was extremely friendly, even flattering.

But it was her attitude that frightened Klent. Not only did Klent's face become serious, he also cast a sharp look at Josephka with an indifferent expression.

One second... two seconds... Krent suddenly realized that Joseph Ka was blind, so he could only ask Joseph Ka:

"Why are you so nice to me? Tell me, who are you and what is your intention in being so nice to me?"

"because……"

Josephka was not deterred by Klent's questioning. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and made a prayer-like gesture to Klent.

Because of her clothes, her action was particularly erotic, but at this moment, Krent would not let this little desire shake his vigilance.

"...You are the first outsider who has not been assimilated by the Holy Spring of the Moon. I think...you must be the legendary savior!

I, the Moon Healing Church, Yharnam... we need your salvation, serving you, and being good to you... is what I should do."

After Josephka explained his reasons, he once again opened his arms to Krent.

The air in the room suddenly became quiet. After a brief thought, Krent suddenly asked Josephka a question:
"You just said... assimilation, what does that mean?"

"The Holy Spring of the Moon is a gift from the great Moon Goddess. It is one of the three springs that slipped from her fingertips into the world and represents life and salvation...

One drop of holy spring water can heal any injury of a mortal, but only a being like you with a great destiny will not be assimilated by the overly powerful life energy in the holy spring after falling into it."

Josephka, who knew everything about Krent, told Krent the answer.
