Lanevus

"Damn it, what's going on?!" Lanevus growled, his face grim.

He was horrified to find that his anger had been completely ignited, and his body stopped on its own, causing him to run towards the attacker.

Although the deepest part of my mind could still remain clear, reason seemed to have been completely lost, and at this moment only one thought remained in my mind:

Turn around, defeat him decisively, gouge out those eyes that he loathes, and torture that damned guy with the cruelest methods!

"Damn it, damn it! Stop it right now!"

"I even prevented the Creator from descending, how could I possibly fail here!"

As the distance between them drew ever closer, Lanevus roared inwardly, his bloodshot eyes wide open like those of a raging beast.

I said, stop!

Lanevus uttered those words with difficulty, his forward momentum abruptly halting.

He overcame the effect of the "Provocation" through his own willpower!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, ha? Hahaha!"

Lanevus, hands on his knees, gasped for breath, letting out a maniacal laugh, "I knew it! Being used as a vessel for God's descent, there's no way I wouldn't gain something!"

He stopped running, slowly raised his head and met the attacker's gaze. "Friend, I don't remember ever seeing you before."

"If my past Error have hurt you, I'm willing to make amends. How about 5,000 pounds? That's all I have."

His hands hung at his sides, his narrow eyes filled with sincerity.

Your entire fortune? More than that, isn't it? I seem to recall you made over ten thousand pounds in that scam in Tingen City?

Honestly, even the Low Sequence ones never tell the truth. They're always playing the role of the "Marauder." Besides me, is there any other good person among the Beyonder of the "Thief" Pathway?

Upon hearing this, Lorry inwardly grumbled with dissatisfaction.

"5000 pounds?"

His voice, brimming with interest, echoed through the empty metal pipes.

"Alright." He nodded slightly, then extended his right hand. "Give me my 5,000 pounds, and I'll turn and leave immediately."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Lanevus's eyes gradually turned cold. "I'm just in a hurry, don't think I'm really afraid of you!"

"You're asking for it!"

After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and at the same time, something began to wriggle wildly under his clothes, as if it were growing out!

In an instant, a dense layer of fleshy bumps grew all over Lanevus's body, including his face, forming a solid armor-like structure.

Judging by his appearance alone, he has almost transcended the realm of humanity.

They're more like laboratory creatures from Horror Novel!

"I already said, I'll gouge out those hateful eyes of yours, and then crush every single bone in your body!"

", Lanevus grinned menacingly, and leaped forward with his right foot off the ground.

However, this is another scam!

After landing, he turned around abruptly and continued running wildly into the depths of the Sewer.

"Lanevus, save your energy. Using the same scam twice only makes me think your bounty is undeserved."

Lorry narrowed his eyes and began the chase almost immediately. With the speed boost from "Gale," he quickly closed in on Lanevus.

He knows my true identity! Lanevus's heart pounded as he fled.

Sensing the strong wind coming from behind, a look of smugness flashed in his eyes, and he twisted his body and threw a punch, as if he had prepared in advance.

"Bang!"

Covered in dense, bumpy bumps, it resembled a gauntlet-clad fist slamming into a wall of blue air currents, producing a sharp, ear-piercing sound like boiling water.

Lorry's lips curled up slightly. "How do you know I didn't intentionally make you feel like you'd been tricked? Isn't it funny how it feels to be 'scammed'?"

His response was a heavy punch from Lanevus.

"You're Swindler too?!" Lanevus asked incredulously, gritting his teeth, "We're both Beyonder on the same Pathway, why are you forcing me!"

However, his attacks never stopped throughout the process.

Fists, elbows, feet, knees—almost any part of his body becomes a deadly weapon under his rapid attacks!

Clap clap clap clap!

The air vibrated violently, producing a continuous, crisp roar. Under the overwhelming onslaught, Lorry staggered and stumbled backward repeatedly.

But the next second, he would rush forward again to entangle with Lanevus.

In a contest of pure strength and fighting skills, he is no match for Lanevus, whose body has been modified by the "True Creator"!

It was the "whirlwind" that granted him unparalleled agility and defense, which allowed him to barely hold off Lanevus and prevent him from escaping.

"It's precisely because we are Beyonder of the same Pathway that I am here." Lorry chuckled softly, as if he weren't the one being punched and kicked.

"Bang!"

Lanevus unleashed a powerful punch, sending Lorry flying and taking a step back himself. He asked in a low voice, "The Formula for the next Potion?"

"Not bad, you finally guessed the answer." Lorry's lips curled up slightly, his tone containing a hint of sarcasm.

When Lanevus saw this expression, his eyes twitched involuntarily. He suppressed the urge to rush over and smash the other person's face flat, and said, panting heavily, "I only know the Formula Sequence 7, I can tell you that."

"But you must leave immediately after you receive it!"

Lorry chuckled softly and shook his head slightly.

Lanevus's gaze sharpened once more.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Believe me, this is your only chance to get the Formula."

"You have no idea what you're doing! Why do you think I'm in such a hurry to run away? Do you think the people chasing me are those useless Police?"

Lanevus sneered, mocking, "Let me tell you, they're from the Military and the Church of the Evernight Goddess! If they catch up, do you think I'll be the only one who suffers?"

Lorry nodded slightly. "Yes."

He was surrounded by countless streams of blue energy, and raised a finger. "First of all, you lied."

"You're not just limited to Sequence 7 Formula —you can't deny that, Psychiatrist." You may have heard of this Potion's name as well.

Then, Lorry raised another finger. "Secondly, in your terms, I should belong to the Military's Hyena ' henchmen. You should be familiar with the aura emanating from me."

As he spoke, he took out "Vera's Tracking Badge" from his pocket, and continued, "So when people catch up, the only one who'll be in trouble is you—"

Lanevus's face twitched violently, causing the bumps on it to sway slightly.

He paused for a few seconds, then slowly said, "You're right, I do know the Formula for Sequence 6."

Lorry's heart skipped a beat, and then joy welled up from the bottom of his heart.

The result of this "Mind Reading" was that "the other person was not lying!"
