As "Traveler Lorry" accompanies Bird Mustang on his journey to meet the "King of the Five Seas," the battle along the coast of the Berserk Sea in the Southern Continent is drawing to a close.

Amidst the resounding thuds of heavy blows, Pali seized the opportunity, wielding her "Sword of Lava" to repel Adrian, and swiftly uttered an Ancient Hermes word:

"Volcanic Eruption!"

In an instant, centered on Adrian, the earth cracked open like a spider web, and countless streams of magma gushed out from underground.

--This is Flames magic wielded by a "Devil"!

"Foolish!" Adrian's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Having once been a "Zombie," he was impervious to fire and drowning, and such spells could not cause him the slightest harm.

Not to mention, with the blessing of Mystical Item, his physique has reached a new level.

His thoughts were racing when he suddenly froze.

Etc!

Mystical Item?!

Adrian realized instantly that the enemy's real target wasn't him, but that Mystical Item!

However, it was too late.

In the raging flames, his clothes quickly turned to ashes.

The rag doll in the pocket, several Charm, and the medal on the chest fell to the ground one after another, making a soft pattering sound.

"Not good!"

Adrian felt a chill run down his spine and quickly bent down to pick it up, but how could Pali, who had been plotting this for so long, possibly give him the chance?

She had anticipated this, and with a slight parting of her red lips, uttered a word in the Devil Language:

"Slow!"

Adrian's hand was halfway outstretched when it froze in mid-air, without even a chance to touch them; his movement was as if it had been paused.

Call!

A string of Sulfur Fireball shot rapidly toward Adrian.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the violent Explosion, waves of fire surged forth one after another, and the massive shockwaves ripped things off the ground, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

at the same time.

Pali gripped the "Sword of Lava" with both hands and slashed down with it.

For the first time, terror appeared on Adrian's face as the "Sword of Lava" magnified in his vision, quickly filling most of his pupils.

However, he was not an inexperienced hothouse flower; he had no shortage of experience in combat, assassination, and infiltration, and possessed a remarkably good mental fortitude.

The moment he regained his mobility, he immediately raised his arms.

A "Sword of Lava" descended from the sky.

With a soft "thud," two severed arms fell to the ground.

Adrian's expression Distortion instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a low growl.

He glared venomously at Pali, then, displaying extraordinary decisiveness, lifted his feet, which were deeply embedded in the mud, and turned to run away.

The intense Affliction and the threat of death unleashed Adrian's full potential.

He was so fast he was almost a blur; Pali only managed to sheathe her sword before seeing him escape from her attack range. Speed was, after all, a "Zombie's" forte!

When they run at full speed, they can even outrun Steam Train!

If I let you leave today, not only will I not forgive myself, but I will also not forgive myself! She gave a silent, cold laugh and suddenly flapped the huge wings on her back.

The "Devil" is fast too!

Amidst the whistling wind, Pali soared out in an almost gliding motion.

With the help of those enormous bat wings, her speed was in no way inferior to Adrian's, and perhaps even slightly faster.

As they chased and fled, the distance between them slowly closed.

Adrian, sprinting at full speed, glanced back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes; as he turned his head, a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

This bitch was willing to give up more valuable Mystical Item and Charm just to kill me... which means that was her real purpose... Combined with the occasional glance she gave at the medal, and those "Monster" that looked like Little Pickpocket, it's not hard to guess her identity...

The Little Pickpocket's mistress? Or that foolish MI9 Lieutenant Colonel —no, Colonel's mistress? My gut feeling tells me she's definitely connected to either of them...

It's a pity I didn't tell her the origin of that black medal myself... If I had, her expression would have been very interesting...

But it's not too late to think about this now... Lord Davis is nearby. As long as I can stall him until he gets here, I still have a chance... to survive, and a chance for revenge...

At his speed, even if that bitch sensed something, she wouldn't have the slightest chance of escaping, not even the chance to commit suicide...

With that thought flashing through his mind, he quickly recited the Demigod's Honorific Name in Ancient Hermes:

"The destroyer of the cage of desire;"

"Embrace the Indulgence Believer;"

"The blood-feast priests who serve the Mother Tree;"

"Stars that guide those who are lost;"

"The great Davis Simon."

"I beg for your favor, I beg you to help me escape this calamity."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint, ethereal voice rang in Adrian's ears:

"I see."

He was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed. His decision to deliberately set the trap in this area was indeed the right one!

If everything goes smoothly, this trump card won't be needed; but if something unexpected happens, it will undoubtedly be the most crucial lifeline.

Now is precisely the time when it's needed!

But if that happens, I'm afraid I won't get a chance to be one of the "Demoness" later on... It's said that Lord Davis has a hobby of collecting female dolls...

Thinking about it, Adrian couldn't help but glance back with a hint of regret.

He also wanted a "Demoness" Marionette.

at the same time.

Pali's Spirituality intuition gave her a frantic warning, and a figure appeared before her eyes.

This figure exuded an indescribable aura, and even a blurry outline made her Spirit Body tremble slightly.

In a flash, a word popped into Pali's mind:

Half-Human, Half-God!

... Having just experienced a fierce battle, two figures were gradually outlined inch by inch in the clearing amidst the ravaged Woods.

With his gaze sweeping across the ground, "Traveler Lorry" opened his right hand, and the rag doll, black medal, and Charm immediately flew towards him.

He then handed these items to Mumulik was standing nearby.

Mumulik reached out and took it, then said silently:

"The main body just synchronized a memory, and you need to intercept the Demigod of the ' Rose School ' to buy time for our revenge."

"He's flying in from the Berserk Sea; he'll find Adrian in three minutes at most."

"Traveler Lorry" nodded slightly and asked:

"The exact location?"

"He's here to rescue people, he won't take a detour," Mumulik said after thinking for a moment. "He'll head straight north, we can definitely catch him."

"Okay." "Traveler Lorry" responded simply, raised his hand to adjust the black crown on his head, and his figure quickly and illusoryly disappeared from the spot.

Then, it appeared on a barren beach.

After waiting quietly for a moment, it gazed at the rapidly approaching figure in the distance, gently raised its right arm, revealing the silver Bracelet on its wrist.
