Who hid My Corpse!

Everything happened too quickly; in just the blink of an eye, all the bindings on Abek vanished, so suddenly that even he himself didn't have time to react.

But Fig reacted immediately. He quickly changed his outstretched hand into a seal, causing the surrounding magic power to resonate once more, intending to summon the sealing holy sword again to reseal Abek.

Yet casting the spell required time, and that brief moment was already enough for Abek to react, otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now.

So he let out a roar, his half body quickly wolfed out, and a sturdy wolf's head lunged at Fig's, forcing Fig to interrupt his chanting swiftly and retreat, causing Abek's wolf head to snap at empty air.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on with this guy?!"

"The holy sword? Where's Lord Bishop's sealing holy sword?!"

Only at this moment did the other Rhein knights react and launch an attack on Abek.

But Abek quickly retreated after his failed attack on Fig, similarly making the attacks of the Rhein knights miss.

The previously settled situation reversed instantaneously.

Fig slightly furrowed his eyebrows, then glanced at the decaying chains on the other side.

The decaying chains now had a big gap, and the person who should have been trapped inside was gone.

Was it really that guy's doing?

It seemed he was never trapped by the decaying chains and had been watching from the side all along.

Yet...

Fig recalled the snap he heard just now, connecting it to the scene where the holy sword and holy fire were simultaneously canceled.

No mistake, it was the rule belonging to Visas's left middle finger—[Termination].

But why was it [Termination]? That finger should be in Ulu's possession.

But that guy wasn't Ulu at all; how could he possess [Termination]?

At this moment, Fig realized there was a slight error in his prior decision making.

He assumed dealing with two corpse fragment holders at the same time would be troublesome, so he planned to act only after they settled the score between them. Hence, he and his Rhein knights had been waiting for Bai Wei to be devoured by the decaying chains before stepping in to clean up the mess.

It wasn't arrogance. The decaying chains weren't a simple spell; once someone was adhered to them, it was extremely difficult to escape.

Yet the opponent effortlessly broke free, without those near detecting it.

Which means, compared to the insane, devourer-consumed Abek before him, that unidentified guy was the real key player.

And the key player had already escaped.

Not only escaped but also left them a big problem.

"Don't think you can kill me!"

"Visas! Visas! Visas!"

"Not just Visas! All non-human entities must be killed!"

The noisy, piercing curses rang out, as if countless mouths were arguing.

And all these mouths were attached to the same person.

Abek was gasping heavily, his face pale as though near exhaustion and death, yet other parts of his body looked vibrant as a young man, especially the countless mouths, resembling newly-hatched chicks in a nest waiting for the mother bird to feed them worms.

And in their eyes, those "worms" were everyone except Abek.

"Devour them!"

"Devour them!"

"Devour them!"

Each time they shouted, their mouths opened wide, revealing more of the eyes inside, giving those present a bizarre feeling of being watched by countless eyes.

This creepy feeling made even the battle-hardened Rhein knights feel their scalp tingle.

"Bishop Fig..." The knights couldn't help but look at Fig, "What should we do now?"

Fig's frown deepened.

Their previous success with Abek was due to ambush, but now that Abek has reacted, and judging from his body at this moment, their stimulation has intensified his fusion with the devourer.

Moreover, Abek seemed no longer intent on resisting such fusion.

"You all want me dead, don't you?" Abek murmured, "Everyone wants me dead, no one wants to let me go, fine, that's fine."

His tone rapidly transformed from somber to insane.

"In that case, none of you should live, none of you should live!"

Under everyone's gaze, Abek reached for his teeth... No, to be precise, they were Visas's teeth.

The Rhein knights did not understand what Abek was trying to do, even Fig didn't react immediately.

It seemed Abek intended to pull out that tooth.

But by doing so, the last part of Abek's own being would be devoured by the devourer. It's important to know that his sanity was solely dependent on that tooth.

Visas's power was guarding the last patch of rational ground in his chaotic thoughts; as long as he resisted, the devourer could never break through this sanctuary.

So this guy wants to... Wait!

Fig realized something, his eyes suddenly widened.

Could it be...

"Quickly stop him!"

Fig immediately raised his hand, having initially thought to conserve energy for the escaped "key player," but after guessing what Abek intended, he realized he could not wait any longer, he must stop it now!

"Rhein!"
