The rock dragon's limbs had fused with Norn's, and it was now immobilized by the heavy rock armor covering its body.

Everyone present immediately understood.

"Well done!" Onsk picked up his scimitar and charged forward to kill the rock dragon lizard.

After struggling to move its limbs to no avail, the rock dragon simply stopped moving altogether.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke burst out in front of it, followed by a thick rock pillar shooting out from it. Onsk twisted his body sharply and dodged the attack.

But it could no longer get close to the rock dragon.

More and more rock pillars grew out, layer upon layer, like a city wall surrounding the rock dragon lizard.

Smoke billowed from within the rocky wall as the rock dragon lizard manipulated the rock pillars to lift itself up. Even though it couldn't move, it still had ways to kill these humans.

Several rock pillars were broken off and floated in the air, swaying precariously towards the crowd.

"Run! Run!" Saroo grabbed Eileen and took off running.

Just as Barron was about to flee, a rock pillar came crashing down at high speed.

Norn, who was being held in Baron's arms, heard a sound of flesh being torn apart and suddenly fell to the ground.

When Norn came to his senses, he felt a sticky, warm sensation on his face.

Upon closer inspection, the ground was covered in bright red blood and rotting tissue!

The rock pillar smashed Baron's lower body to pieces on the spot, and blood mixed with his internal organs flowed all over the ground.

As the next rock pillar was about to fly towards him, Norn instinctively handed over his brain.

In an instant, the rock pillars floating in the air fell down one after another, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"Damn, so monsters can be controlled by transferring brains?"

Norn successfully possessed the rock dragon lizard, whose rock armor pressed down on him like a mountain, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

Unable to speak, Norn had no way to inform Onsk and the others that they were coming to kill him, so he could only try to commit suicide.

Norn's first thought was to use magic to smash his own head with a rock pillar.

As he circulated his magical power, an extremely exhilarating sensation suddenly stimulated his brain, making his eyes roll back in his head. No wonder these monsters are addictive.

Boom!

A rock pillar broke off, startling Onsk, who quickly hid behind the rock pillar wall.

The rock pillar slowly floated up into the sky, stood upright, and its end was sharpened, like a sword of Damocles hanging above the rock dragon lizard's head.

The next second, the rock pillar plummeted downwards. Just as his head was about to be smashed open, Norn managed to retract his brain in time, successfully dodging the excruciating blow.

The rock dragon lizard died tragically, and its limbs returned to Norn's body.

Norn got up and wiped his face, which was covered in thick blood.

"It's over, Onsk. I just used my brain to control the Rock Dragon Lizard, and then I committed suicide."

Upon hearing this, Onsk slowly walked out and saw a rock pillar inserted into the towering rock platform, with the rock dragon lizard's head shattered into large and small pieces.

"Oh my god..." Onske gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground, the shock in his heart unable to subside for a long time.

Snapped!

A loud slap suddenly rang out, and Norn's right cheek turned red.

"Why didn't you act sooner?! Baron wouldn't be dead!!"

Tears welled in Eileen's eyes as she spoke through gritted teeth.

Norn didn't know how to refute it for a moment, since it did have something to do with him.

But he can't entirely blame himself. He didn't react in time because he didn't have time to react. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let that rock pillar smash into Baron, even though he was in Baron's arms at the time!

Saroo knelt trembling beside Baron, looking at his childhood friend who was now separated from him by death, and he couldn't help but cry.

"I feel sorry for Eileen, but I almost died too. That rock pillar just brushed past my crotch."

Norn's answer did not earn their forgiveness. Saroo got up, rushed in front of Norn, and knocked him to the ground with a powerful punch.

"But you could have controlled it from the beginning, right? Why didn't you do that?!"

Just as Saroo was about to kick Norn, a tiger's paw sent him flying.

Onsk pulled Norn to his feet and said to the two men, "You have no right to blame Norn. You should blame Baron for not being strong enough, blame yourselves for being too weak. It has nothing to do with Norn!"

"Onsk, you're also responsible! You brought us to this dangerous place to hunt such dangerous monsters, and then stood by and did nothing during the battle! You're also partly responsible for Baron's death!"

Eileen pointed at Onsk, her voice trembling violently; this was the first time she had ever been rude to Onsk.

"Heh—" Onsk laughed, "What are you people? I've only taken you on a few missions, do you really think I have any feelings for you?"

To be honest, I've put up with you guys for a long time. You three are complete noobs, I'm the one who killed the monsters, I'm the one who got hurt, and you shamelessly try to share the loot with me!

If priests weren't so rare, who the hell would want to hang out with a bunch of trash like you?

"From beginning to end, you've been nothing but a bunch of parasites reaping the benefits, a bunch of cowards afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice! When it comes to dividing the money, you think everyone deserves a share, but when people die, you just shirk responsibility. I've fucking had enough of you!"

Onske's hair stood on end, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

Perhaps intimidated by Onsk's imposing presence, or perhaps sensing its murderous intent, Saroo was the first to back down:

"Sorry, Onsk, we were just too excited. You know, Baron is a friend we grew up with, so..."

Onsk suddenly raised his foot and kicked horizontally. Salo took the kick to his right cheek, and his head spun twice in place.

Before Eileen could scream, Onsk's scimitar was already upon her.

The girl's neck was as soft and tender as a bamboo shoot in early spring. Angsk barely used any force before Eileen's head hit the ground, her face still bearing a look of terror.

Onsk crouched down and used Eileen's clothes to wipe the blood off the knife, while Norn watched it with trepidation.

"Don't be afraid of Norn, I'm not a bloodthirsty person. They're too naive, they're not cut out to be adventurers. Even if I don't kill them today, they'll die at the hands of monsters or other people in the future."

Onske sheathed his sword, his tone no longer carrying the violence he had just displayed.

"I...I understand...I was just a little scared."

"Good to know. Without them, we can make more money. The rewards for an A-level mission are quite substantial."

After saying that, Onsk couldn't wait to jump onto the rock dragon lizard's corpse, peeled open the flesh with his hands, and pulled out the magic crystal embedded in it.

These magic crystals are crystal clear, emitting a faint purple light, and their quality is impeccable.

After deducting the two required by the mission, there are still four or five smaller, high-purity magic crystals left. These are in high demand and short supply on the market, and selling them can generate another profit.

On the way back, Onsk was in a great mood. He had not only completed the mission, but also gotten rid of those burdens and found Norn, a great teammate.

Norn felt somewhat uncomfortable.

On the one hand, it was because he distrusted Onsk, a violent guy who was most likely to betray him; on the other hand, it was because he wanted to go it alone.

After revealing his ability to control monsters, Norn had a feeling that Onsk was planning to rely on him.

If I were to tell it now that I want to go solo, who knows how it would react.

Norn dared not gamble and had no choice but to return to the ground first to make further plans.
