He was perfectly capable of walking upright, possessed strong limbs, wore tattered strips of cloth, and could even use some simple weapons.
It looks like... a human being, just simple-minded and unable to communicate.
"Damn monster."
The girl gritted her teeth slightly as she looked at the monster, then pounced on it.
Mia is no delicate princess. As a mercenary, she has killed quite a few people, and she understands that begging for mercy in the face of such a monster is useless.
Either the monster dies, or she dies.
The monster opened its mouth wide, saliva still dripping down, its sharp teeth reflecting a faint light, and made unintelligible rolling sounds from its throat. Then it stood up and pounced on Mia as well.
Mia's movements were swift and well-prepared. The greatest advantage humans have over monsters is their intelligence. She anticipated the direction the monster would pounce and narrowly dodged it, stabbing the monster's mouth with her dagger.
puff--
A clear sound of something piercing flesh.
"You've hit him!"
A flicker of joy crossed the red-haired girl's eyes, but it didn't last even half a second.
The monster's movements were not restricted after it was injured; instead, its ferocity was further aroused.
Its mouth was injured, a dagger piercing its jaw, and it let out a painful roar, raising its sharp claws to grab the girl in front of it.
Mia reacted very quickly, but even if she dodged the first attack at such close range, it would be difficult to dodge the next one.
The monster's claws tore her clothes apart, then ripped a long gash open in her abdomen, leaving flesh torn and blood gushing out.
The fight between the man and the beast was extremely brief, ending in a draw in the blink of an eye.
However, although the monster was also seriously injured, it was clearly in much better condition than Mia.
The girl suffered a severe abdominal injury and was slapped away, crashing heavily to the ground. She could only watch helplessly as the monster pulled out the dagger stuck in her jaw, letting out an angry and painful roar, before slowly approaching her.
"Am I going to die...?"
Mia was panting heavily. The intense pain from her abdominal injury had made her pale, and she was also losing too much blood, making her vision blurry.
She tried to pull herself back with her hands.
If she could, she wouldn't want to die in the mouth of such a disgusting monster...
Even if someone could end my life for me.
The girl couldn't help but have this thought.
However, at that moment, the entrance to the cellar above their heads was suddenly lifted open.

After getting used to the darkness, the light shining down from above seemed exceptionally strong.
The girl's consciousness was blurred. She seemed to see a figure descend from the sky and jump directly onto the monster's back, while the long sword in her hand pierced through the back of its neck.
"Go to hell."
The newcomer stabbed the monster to death with a single sword strike. Mia's pale face finally relaxed slightly, revealing a smile, before she fainted.
bass--
Viserys pulled his longsword from the back of the monster's neck, blood gushed out, and the corpse collapsed limply to the ground.
A wisp of black mist slid down the blade and into Viserys's palm.
This was a discovery Viserys made after entering the Valyrian capital: the monsters here release large amounts of black mist from their bodies after being killed.
This black mist far exceeded what Viserys could absorb outside, a discovery that greatly excited him.
He came here specifically to unravel the secrets of the Black Mist, but since arriving at the Valyrian ruins, he hasn't found any answers related to the Black Mist.
It wasn't until they entered the core area of the ruins, the former capital city of Valyria, the Freehold, that they made a breakthrough discovery.
Everywhere there were traces of the black mist, which others might not be able to see, but Viserys could see them all.
"The capital of Freedom Fortress was once deeply shrouded in this black fog."
This discovery forced him to reach this conclusion.
"why?"
However, hundreds of years have passed, and no one knows what exactly happened before Valyria was destroyed.
Those who lived in this royal city back then are all dead, or have been transformed into some kind of monster. No one knows how they angered the gods or why they were subjected to such a terrible punishment.
However, he has finally taken the first step towards unlocking the secret.
"Mia."
When Viserys killed the monster, he turned around and found that the girl had fainted.
He immediately rushed over.
The girl had four deep wounds on her abdomen, the deepest of which revealed her internal organs, and she was bleeding heavily, staining the ground beneath her in a short time.
"Oops."
"The injuries are too severe."
Viserys' heart sank slightly upon seeing Mia's injuries.
He could tell that the injuries were almost beyond saving, and the girl would soon pass away.
"No."
However, Viserys frowned and clenched his fist.
Although they haven't known each other for long, they've been through thick and thin together, and their relationship is still quite good.
Viserys couldn't bear to watch this poor girl die.
"There is another way."
The silver-haired young man pondered for a moment, then decided he could no longer hide his identity.
He then tossed the longsword aside and placed his palm on her forehead.
The black mist that had just been absorbed was continuously poured into Mia's body.
Chapter 339 Awakening
I don't know how much time passed after that.
The cellar remained pitch black, while the red-haired girl lay quietly on the ground. Her chapped lips trembled slightly before she subconsciously called out softly for water.
Viserys, who was sitting to the side leaning against the wall and holding his sword, and who looked like he was asleep, suddenly woke up.
Then he took out his water bottle and brought it to Mia's parched lips. Like rain after a long drought, the water flowed in, and the girl's throat bobbed as she instinctively asked for more water.
Then her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally slowly woke up, a hint of confusion still in her eyes.
Am I...dead?
Is this hell?
Although Mia has no particular faith, there is a relatively unified explanation of the world of the dead in all religions.
The place was filthy, the environment was harsh, and all sorts of demons roamed freely, which was somewhat similar to the current state of Valyria.
However, the girl immediately felt a sharp pain from the pulling of her wound, and her face turned slightly pale.
The silver-haired young man sitting next to her heard her words and was about to make a joke, but the words caught in his throat.
Because he saw that the girl's once bright eyes now looked dazed and lifeless, as if shrouded in a deep shadow.
"I thought I was really dead."
The girl's voice was hoarse and weak; she had seen Viserys.
She learned that the other person had somehow saved her life, rather than him dying, and that the two of them had come to this underground world together.
She knew this guy was hiding a big secret.
The two people were from completely different backgrounds.
He will not die no matter what.
"Feel sorry."
The girl's voice instantly dampened Viserys's joy, and he sighed.
Mia's life was saved by the use of the black mist, but it also meant that she would probably never escape her own shadow for the rest of her life. With the black mist as an entanglement, she could never escape it.
Viserys had no intention of having a deep relationship with Mia, as their social statuses were indeed vastly different. Therefore, he maintained a certain distance at all times, planning to leave quietly after this adventure.
However, he hadn't anticipated that so many unexpected events would occur during this trip...
A brief silence fell over the cellar, then the girl, still recovering from her injuries and lying on the ground, spoke again.
“I noticed its presence.”
These words made Viserys raise his head slightly; he knew the other person was referring to the black mist he had injected.
"It seems to have repaired my body, making me even better than before."
"However, the price is that I seem to be unable to live without you."
Mia's last words echoed in Viserys's heart.
The girl seemed to be more clever than Bessie, and quickly figured out the correct use of the black mist.
It establishes a bridge of communication between two people.
"Now can I know who you are?"
“Imon”.
Viserys listened to her words in silence, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke.
He told Mia his true identity.
Because at this point, there's no point in hiding your identity from the girl.
"Viserys Targaryen?"
