The One You Called

Boom--!

A silent roar exploded in Maria's ears in an instant. She stared blankly up at the distance.

"What's wrong?"

At the other end of the table, Madam Sicily and Father Agniel both looked puzzled.

But Maria's eyes narrowed silently.

"Someone... is calling me..."

"What the hell is going on?!"

"No swearing, Lappland!"

Should you be concerned about this right now?

Lappland was so angry at Celinina that she almost laughed.

But she found it hard to smile at that moment.

Right in front of them, where the man who had just been unconscious had been, a writhing mass of flesh began to grow wildly.

It quickly devoured the trembling men nearby, then curled up, trying to pull the two girls in as well.

But clearly, after Maria's training, the two girls' abilities had long surpassed those of ordinary people.

In the process of dodging, they quickly broke free from the range of the opponent's outstretched tentacles, their faces pale.

After their initial screams, the men fell silent; it was obvious they were dead.

But more than that, the two girls were worried about what was in front of them.

This was a disgusting creation of flesh and blood they had never encountered before.

The throbbing abscess was shaking incessantly, with red and blue veins covering its surface, all enveloped by a transparent membrane.

Numerous milky-white pustules emerged from the crevices of the flesh, squeezed by the muscles, yet refusing to rupture.

It was swaying... it was unsettling.

"Damn it!"

Lappland couldn't stand the disgusting scene any longer, and instantly drew her longsword, thrusting it forward.

But to her surprise...

That seemingly fragile membrane proved remarkably resilient under the thrust of her sword.

The flesh suddenly caved in, creating a huge crater, and then abruptly recovered!

"Bang!"

The girl's body was thrown off.

"What is this thing? That Cainhurst?"

"No... no... it shouldn't be."

Faced with such a bizarre monster, even Celinina found it difficult to remain calm.

She could only feel the blood surging and churning within her, a certain resonance echoing in her ears.

"Friends... family... pain... hunger..."

These voices were incredibly eerie; each time they spoke, it was as if countless people were echoing and roaring in one's ears.

They screamed and howled, like countless suffering people pleading with Celinina.

This made Celinina increasingly out of control.

Fortunately, Lappland was right there.

"Wake up!"

With a sudden slap, Lappland knocked the girl to the ground before regaining her senses.

"I don't care what's wrong with you, calm down first... Since this thing was created using Originium Arts, there must be a solution!"

"I know..."

Although her face stung from the slap, Celinina regained consciousness as a result.

She cautiously observed the monster before her.

After devouring three people, its size noticeably increased... but it didn't seem to reach its limit.

On the contrary, it became even hungrier after devouring three men.

It's unclear whether its head twitched as it looked at the girls, but it only glanced at them before turning away and trying to walk towards the street.

Its wriggling body resembled a snail without a shell...

And on the streets, there were countless people bustling about...

If this monster were to be allowed into the streets, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

With just a glance, the two little ones made a decision, instantly pressing forward and attempting to tear it apart.

But clearly, they underestimated the monster's defensive capabilities.

Their attacks were so fierce they could cleave steel, but against that seemingly fragile body of flesh and blood, they couldn't even leave a scratch...

"I'll try again!"

Gritting his teeth.

Lappland's eyes sharpened as she retreated.

A silvery-white light instantly filled her eyes, and with one step, she was about to tear through the air.

But...

"Gulp~"

The flesh was like jelly; when it was cut by Blades, it dented and instantly bounced Lappland back.

"Bang!"

The force of the blow was so great that it even embedded Lappland into the wall.

The Blades slipped from her hand and pierced her abdomen.

"Damn it!"

Lappland gritted her teeth, her face showing some resentment.

But Celinina, who was standing nearby, quickly lifted her up and laid her flat, then opened her own medicine bottle and poured it into the girl's mouth.

To her astonishment, as the potion was opened, the wriggling monster stopped moving outwards.

They even turned around and looked this way!

A strange body trembled slightly...

"It... seems to be reacting to this..."

Celinina was a little stunned, but she reacted quickly, smashing a glass next to her, getting some of the potion on it, and then flying straight at the other person!

This time, however, the monster's body was unable to withstand the damage.

The shard of glass suddenly tore through its newly formed flesh, exposing it to the air.

The sensitive sting made it tilt its head back, as if it were screaming!

But the girl couldn't hear anything...

Chapter 239 The One You Called

In the darkness, the white light fluttered rapidly like a butterfly.

At this moment, the two little ones held their breath, widened their eyes, gritted their teeth, and kept adjusting their breathing to the most extreme state!

The air in my lungs was being consumed continuously, and my muscles began to tremble.

Ancient, terrifying blood, deeply embedded in their flesh and blood, roared, urging their bodies to undergo a transformation!

Under their relentless attacks, the unknown monster began to retreat gradually.

The immense pressure gradually forced it to become immobile.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, recklessly consuming its already limited vitality.

Step by step... cornered...

Go to hell!

With a burst of brilliant silver light from the depths of his eyes, Lappland let out a low roar and instantly gripped his longsword with both hands!

A savage shockwave erupted from her, instantly tearing apart its shell!

With a silent wail, the eerie monster began to crumble and disintegrate.

Finally, it gradually turned into a pile of rotting flesh and blood on the ground...

"You won?"

Panting heavily, Lappland gritted her teeth as she looked at the rotting scene before her.

Her chest heaved as she slowly recovered her strength.

"They must have won..." Celinina had never encountered anything like this before... To be honest, it was somewhat beyond her comprehension.

As far as she knew, the Banshees' magic was similar to Originium Arts, only the medium was different.

There shouldn't be an ability to summon monsters.

But what appeared before them at that moment was truly unsettling.

This is clearly not some kind of ghostly thing that should exist in the human world.

However, they didn't have much time to think about it anymore.

Footsteps could be heard nearby, as if they had been drawn by the battle.

The two little ones only needed to exchange a glance to decide what to do.

Run!

"Welcome back, young lady and esteemed Miss Saluzzo."

When the two little ones returned home, they were greeted by a beautiful maid.

She bowed slightly, her face calm, her hands clasped together in front of her lower abdomen.

"The hot water is ready. Would you like to take a shower?"

"Thank you for your help."

Celinina nodded, then, ignoring the maid's subtle glances, forcefully pulled Lappland into the bathroom.

He even spoke up halfway through.

"You don't need to serve us anymore."

"... yes."

Looking at the two little ones who were so close, the maid had countless things she wanted to say.

But in the end, it all turned into a slightly powerless sigh.

She left quickly.

Shortly after she left, Celinina cautiously peeked out, carefully observed her surroundings, and then turned to look at Lappland in the bathroom.

At this moment, Lappland is curiously touching the Columbia showerhead...

"It's temperature-controlled? That's incredible!"

"Do you even have the mind to think about this?"
