"A twisted psychopath..."
Lin Hao shook his head after hearing Miika Randall's account.
That half-orc was the offspring of an orc and a human after the most recent orc invasion, and had been psychologically twisted since childhood.
That warped mind, coupled with the extreme pain he suffered during cultivation, made him even more fond of slaughter than the bloodthirsty orcs.
He might not have been the strongest of the Thirteen Great Thieves, but he was certainly the most infamous.
He might kill someone over a single disagreement, without any reason or pattern.
He killed when he was happy, and he killed when he was unhappy.

Lin Hao had already fought a Great Hero, and the fight had felt quite easy. He had not even needed to use his full strength.

"Unfortunately, a madman's logic is hard to steer."
In the end, Lin Hao chose not to take that risk.
Domain Formation allowed people to sense danger, but the more deranged ones were genuinely hard to predict
