Lanevus Is About to Give Birth?

Under Audrey's astonished gaze, the Monster's Flesh, which Luther had captured, rapidly dissolved, and it looked as if it was about to turn into a complete mess.

Just then, the Monster's swollen belly suddenly expanded even faster, and its cries became louder.

"Careful!"

Audrey couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

Smack!

The moment she finished speaking, her swollen belly burst open from the inside, and a crimson mass shot out, hurtling straight toward Luther's face!

Luther watched calmly, raising his other hand.

"Bang!"

A sweeping punch landed precisely on the object, the powerful force sending it flying and crashing into the wall. The thing landed on the ground, rolled a few times before coming to a stop, revealing its true form.

Audrey saw its true form and almost cried out in surprise.

It turned out to be a lump of flesh the size of an infant, with four limbs, but in the center was the face of an adult.

And that face seemed somewhat familiar to Luther.

"Lanevus?"

He followed a different path.

It was a man's face, plain-looking, with only a signature mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, which immediately reminded Luther of the swindler he had tricked.

"Wow."

The fleshy mass with a human face cried out, rolled over, and prepared to attack Luther again. But before it could move, several balls of blazing flame shot over and engulfed its body.

Wow!

It convulsed and cried out in the raging fire, quickly turning charred black until it was reduced to ashes.

Luther stared at the ashes, and after confirming that they had been completely destroyed, he released his grip and threw away the half-dissolved corpse. The corpse's abdomen had been ripped open from the inside, revealing a gruesome wound.

Audrey noticed the shape of the wound and suddenly had a thought.

The wounds, from the inside out, are from a victim who was still working as a streetwalker... She seems to have discovered the victims of the Serial Murder Case! It turns out these people were killed by something that went from the inside out!

Fors previously stated that he suspected there were two perpetrators in the Serial Murder Case. Could this be one of the killers' modus operandi?

No wonder the police couldn't find it.

Oh, right, that extraordinary person just mentioned a name, Lanevus... Could that be the murderer's real name...?

Audrey carefully observed the black-haired, blue-eyed youth, thinking to herself.

While she was filled with thoughts, Luther was also pondering.

The lump of flesh in the woman's womb was clearly not the Divine Scion; he only sensed a very small amount of the True Creator within it.

To be honest, this lump of flesh is more like Lanevus's offspring.

What's going on with the Church of Evernight? It's been so long, and they still haven't caught him!

Luther remembered that he had modified the Ritual, tricking Lanevus and making him, in a man's body, receive Divinity from the True Creator. Theoretically, that Divinity had deeply penetrated his flesh, and the Ritual was considered a success.

Thinking of this, Luther's expression became somewhat strange.

No way?

He's a grown man, and he's actually pregnant?

If you count the days, it's been about two or three months already. Given the developmental speed of the Evil God's Offspring, it's likely that Lanevus will give birth soon. It's just a question of whether his Evil God's Offspring should call him "father" or "mother"—in a sense, it seems either way is fine...

"Cough cough."

Luther coughed, suppressing his wandering thoughts. The body of this streetwalker might be Lanevus's attempt to save himself. Perhaps he wanted to transfer the offspring of the evil god into another woman, thus sparing himself the Catastrophe of childbirth... After all, there really was no other way out.

If that's the case, then he should be in Backlund right now.

"Good heavens! What's going on?!"

"Help! Someone's in danger!"

The sounds in the corridor gradually grew louder; the deaths and injuries were causing chaos, and someone would arrive soon.

Luther came to his senses and felt the sound of the Tide in his mind weakening. He had been conscious for a long time, and his Spirituality energy was being somewhat depleted.

We need to leave quickly.

Thinking this, he stood up and met Audrey's gaze.

Oh, I almost forgot, there was also an eyewitness.

Luther thought to himself, and stepped forward to stand in front of the other person.

Audrey's heart immediately tightened.

What is he going to do?

His methods are so ruthless, could he be from one of those dangerous, Concealment cults...? Will I be silenced?

Then she heard this handsome, insane, powerful, extraordinary being, clad in a strange straitjacket, speak:

Did you bring any money?

Ah?

Audrey was stunned.

"Stop playing dumb. I saved your life, so it's only right that I get some compensation." Hearing the other person continue, she impatiently spread her hands. "Judging from your appearance, you must be a noble lady. Surely you have some money? Pay up, hurry up!"

The image of the strong woman seemed to have changed somewhat. Audrey pursed her lips and whispered, "My wallet is with the maid... please wait a moment."

She strode to the unconscious Annie, took her own exquisite handbag from her, and after a moment's thought, simply handed the entire bag to Luther.

This handbag is a brand new limited edition, and it costs around £1,000. In addition, there are several small pieces of jewelry inside that cost several hundred pounds.

Audrey didn't care much about the money; more important than anything else, she hoped the other party would be satisfied.

Luther casually took the bag and took out all the cash inside, which amounted to about two or three hundred pounds.

Wow, they're really rich... No wonder they're nobles from Backlund, they won't be short of money for a while now.

He thought to himself with satisfaction, tossing the bag and its contents back to the other man, "Don't leak my information if you don't want trouble."

Audrey nodded immediately.

Wow!

Luther packed the money, cut his palm with his fingernail, raised his hand and waved it, sending a spray of blood into the room as it dispersed into Blood Fog.

This is a clever use of Flesh and Blood Magic to interfere with Divination and prevent being tracked, so even if Audrey breaks the agreement...

Talking to others won't necessarily help you find yourself.

Having done all this, before anyone else arrived, Luther's body transformed into a shadow, merging into the darkness, and he silently left the place.

"Phew, only then did Audrey finally breathe a sigh of relief, confirming that she was truly safe."

Seeing the devastation all around, with the dead and wounded scattered everywhere, and smelling the heavy stench of blood filling my nostrils, my initial fear slowly subsided, but a sense of lingering dread gradually crept in.

That extraordinary being is truly terrifying... If he had been in a bad mood just now, would I have been easily eliminated...? Audrey thought to herself, deciding to keep her promise and not reveal the other party's information to the official investigators.

On the other side, Luther, who went to pick up his younger sister, suddenly froze.

Um?

My Shadow Ascetic Potion seems to have been partially digested...
