Dog

Their cause of death was decapitation.

Lilith severed their heads with water currents, causing them no pain.

Lilith looked at the four people lying on the ground, their bodies separated from their heads.

"I am truly merciful for letting you die without pain."

As Lilith spoke, she walked out of the alley.

She had no intention of cleaning up the bodies. Those scumbags weren't worthy of her cleaning up their corpses. Besides, it was just a few deaths, wasn't it?

As for what consequences their deaths would bring?

It had little to do with Lilith, and it wouldn't affect her.

Not long after Lilith left, a black shadow descended from the rooftop and landed where Lilith had just stood.

Leona, who had already transformed, looked at the four corpses on the ground.

"Cause of death: head instantly severed by a sharp weapon," Leona judged, looking at the four heads with unseeing eyes. "They didn't even realize they were dead."

After reaching this conclusion, Leona became even more confused.

She was certain that these four people had surrounded someone, and the person they were surrounding was standing in the exact spot where she was now.

She didn't know what kind of power could cause four people to die simultaneously without reacting.

"Leona, did you find anything?"

As Leona was thinking, Lubbock ran over, panting, and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

"Seriously, what was the meaning of suddenly running off during the mission?"

In Night Raid, only Leona and Lubbock remained undisguised. Therefore, from now on, only the two of them could enter the Imperial Capital to gather information.

But as they were walking down the street, Leona seemed to have smelled something, suddenly ran off, and transformed without anyone knowing.

Lubbock also noticed the corpses lying on the ground.

"Is there anything strange about these bodies?"

Leona stared at Lubbock. She suddenly remembered that with the concealment capabilities of Lubbock's Imperial Arm, it was possible for these four people to die without realizing it.

"These bodies aren't important. What's important is the person who killed them."

Her beastly intuition told her that person was important.

And Leona believed her intuition.

"Although the scent in the air is faint, I can follow it to catch up to that person. I hope that person hasn't gone too far!"

Leona immediately gave chase.

"No way!"

Lubbock cried out in dismay and followed.

When Leona caught up to her target, she was actually afraid!

All this time, although Leona herself didn't know it, the Beast Transformation Belt had caused a slight change in her psychology.

After transforming, without her knowing, she unconsciously began to view everyone except Imperial Arm users as prey, especially ordinary people.

After all, she was a lion!

However, when she saw the small figure hidden beneath a white cloak on the street.

Her body trembled with fear.

Lilith, that small figure, exuded the aura of a predator!

It was an aura as if everything in the world, as long as it was alive, was her food.

"What... what kind of monster is this!"

Leona regretted it. She regretted not suppressing her curiosity and actually chasing after her.

This was going to be difficult.

Because of her fear, Leona subconsciously assumed that the small figure was an extremely powerful being.

Thus, she planned to quietly pull Lubbock, who was beside her, and retreat without attracting that person's attention.

But just then, that person actually turned around. Leona's pupils contracted, and she didn't care about potentially being exposed. She directly grabbed Lubbock, stepped on the roof tiles, and fled as if her life depended on it.

During this process, Lubbock did not struggle, nor did he ask why.

Leona's expression had terrified him. He didn't know what Leona had seen to make such an expression, but he knew he couldn't cause trouble.

Leona withdrew from her transformed state. The sudden regression of her senses, a physical state that had always made Leona extremely uncomfortable, now felt so comfortable.

Leona had never been so grateful. It turned out that having weakened senses was also something to be happy about.

Lubbock: "Leona, have you calmed down? What was so terrifying about that person that you were so scared?"

Leona blinked. "Scared? Hahahaha. No, this trembling is not fear."

It was the fear of a rabbit seeing a lion!

Leona told Lubbock about what she had just felt.

Lubbock looked completely bewildered.

He didn't have Leona's sharp senses; to be honest, he hadn't sensed anything at all.

Seeing Lubbock's reaction, Leona actually felt a bit envious.

"Never mind," Leona patted Lubbock's shoulder. "Having weak senses isn't entirely a bad thing. Let's continue with the mission."

"###!!!"

Veins bulged on Lubbock's forehead. He felt insulted.

If he hadn't been weaker than Leona, Lubbock would have definitely thrown a punch and beaten up Leona's little lion-like head.

"Are they gone?"

When she was being spied on by Leona and the other person again, Lilith also sensed it.

However, those two didn't have any ill intentions, so she hadn't paid them any mind. But she felt that one of them, whose aura was somewhat strange, was staring at her too… directly. Finally, Lilith couldn't help but turn her head, and naturally, she saw nothing.

"Humans? Could there really be some kind of hybrid between a human and a Dangerous Species?"

In Lilith's perception, one of them had a very strange aura, with traces of human and traces of beast mixed together, making it difficult for her to sort out for a moment.

In her senses, the two had already left, and Lilith didn't pursue them.

After all, they hadn't shown any ill will, and she felt it would be improper to just chase after them and cut them down out of curiosity.

So, Lilith continued to wander the streets.

At this time, Lilith had acquired quite a bit of food in her hands.

It had to be said that the food stalls that could stay open in the Imperial Capital all had pretty good flavors.

"Woof woof~"

In the evening, just as Lilith was preparing to head back, a dog's bark caught her attention.

Lilith walked up to an iron cage, inside which several large dogs were confined.

It was unclear what these dogs were fed, but each of them was about half a person's height, and even without their tails, they were over a meter long.

These dogs could be described as very robust.

"Esteemed... customer, if you're interested, why not buy one to take home? They're very effective for guarding the house."

The owner of these dogs couldn't see Lilith's appearance under her hood. He couldn't tell if she was a young master or a young lady, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and addressed Lilith as "customer."
