"Sir, no matter who you are, what happened tonight has nothing to do with you. If you can pretend not to know about it, I am willing to pay 100 crowns."

Shade was also sizing him up. The opponent was a low-level warlock, probably a third-level warlock, so the "lock" just now was not set by him:

"Pantanal Voodoo Club?"

He asked hesitantly, but unexpectedly the man actually nodded:

"Yes, Mr. Delarion. But this matter has nothing to do with the Voodoo Society. We are just accepting employment from others to do something."

"Who hired you?"

Shade asked again, but the man just shook his head:

"Do you think I'm going to tell you?"

"I just don't understand. Truth has always looked down on country bumpkins like you, so why would it be willing to hire you?"

Shade was just testing. Unexpectedly, the strong man's expression changed:

"It seems that you are really here to protect Margaret of Anjou. Don't worry, neither we nor the Truth Society dare to attack members of the royal family. We are just looking for an item."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"If I can't stop you, I must at least ensure that this operation will not involve the Inquisition of the Five Gods Church."

He put his hand into his pocket and took a deep look at Shade, as if he was making some kind of decision:

"I pursue the way of the wild, and my perception of power is very keen. I can feel how terrifying you are. Even if you are not a high-level warlock, you will definitely not be inferior to a high-level warlock. I can't stop you, but you can't even think about it.

Pass easily. Those professors who claim to be civilized people have given us valuable knowledge, and we will do our best to help them."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of snake skin-like thing from his pocket. The strong whispering elements immediately vented in all directions, and Shade heard a roaring sound of "hiss, hiss" in his ears.

"Relic?"

Shade was startled, and flicked out a beam of moonlight with his hand. The three-ringed warlock did not dodge at all, and when the moonlight almost cut him in half from the waist, he swallowed the snake skin into his stomach:

"This is a clerical relic [Immortal Snake Slough]. Praise Pantanal! Praise the immortal snake! So, please die!"

The last few words completely changed into a strange snake-like language, but they were still translated by Shade.

Blood spurted out from the man's waist. He had fallen to the ground due to serious injuries. His whole body was shaking and he was about to die.

But Shade's expression changed greatly and he kept retreating. As the snake skin was swallowed by the man, the gas lights in the entire corridor quickly became dim. The whispering elements became more obvious and clear, and the appearance of the man's "corpse"

A gap opened above the head, and in Shade's surprised gaze, a black snake as thick as a man's waist, with scarlet eyes and a body covered in mucus, emerged from the corpse.

"Hiss~"

The scarlet letter was spit out from the snake's snout, and the mucus flowed on the surface of the snake's body. Gradually, Shade could clearly see the pattern on the snake's body that looked like a tapeworm.

Its body was larger and longer than the corpse behind it. It turned around and swallowed the human corpse, and then crawled towards Shade, leaving wet traces on the carpet as it crawled. Even in the autumn of Sikal

He had seen many snakes in the mountains, but Shade still felt a chill when being stared at by this thing.

"He swallowed the relic? The relic got out of control?"

This reminded Shade of the Ring Warlock who turned into a murloc because his fish-man scales were out of control.

[It’s not that it’s out of control, swallowing that piece of snake skin, it should be the triggering method of the relic’s characteristics.]

"It's really disgusting."

With his right hand, he pulled out the moonlight sword from the air and rushed towards the snake. The giant python with a huge body and slow movement also rushed towards Xia De. It suddenly bent its body to accumulate strength, like a flying arrow, and it was getting darker and darker.

shot at Shade in the corridor.

It was extremely fast, but in the end it failed to hit Shade, and instead passed through a large group of red butterflies.

When the giant python landed, the butterfly group gathered again. Shade, holding the "Moonlight Sword", turned around and slashed at the snake's head. However, the sword with the holy silver light actually passed through the snake's body and slashed at the snake's head.

on the floor.

"Hallucination?"

It was not an illusion, because the python flicked its tail and hit Shade on the waist with great force. Shade originally thought that this sword could at least severely damage the opponent, but he did not expect that his attack would fail, so it was like a ball being hit by a club.

, and was whipped to the wall by the tail.

"Hissssss~"

The light in the corridor continued to weaken, and darkness was falling. The dark python turned around, supporting its body with its tail, and opened its snout to reveal its fangs. Its scarlet eyes looked at Shade who was getting up, as if he wanted to bite him off.

's head.

The coming of darkness made the snake become more powerful, and at the same time, the darkness was like a thick liquid, making Xia De feel that his movements became slower and slower. However, it bit forward, but failed to hit Xia De.

De, instead, his head hit the wall hard, crashing through the wall and entering the empty room on the other side.

And Shade, who used [Rage's Jump] to transfer, appeared in the distance of the dark corridor.

The giant snake swam out of the hole in the wall, spitting out a message and observing Shade. It was obviously planning to kill him with one blow. However, the obvious sound just now failed to attract anyone's attention. It seems that this operation was indeed done with all possible means.

Attract attention.

Shade relied on dark vision, in an almost completely dark environment, staring at the giant snake that was almost integrated with the darkness, and asked in his heart:
Chapter completed!
