Bang!
With Reverse Scale active, Lin Yuan's strength was terrifying. Wherever his club struck, the gray barrier shattered inch by inch, and the skeleton was smashed to pieces!
"Gwaaaargh!"
The Crawlers' double let out an inarticulate cry, its flesh beginning to melt like paraffin exposed to flame.
But even as it melted, the Crawlers' double mustered the last of its strength and swung its tentacles, tearing Lilia into pieces.
This bastard is decisive and cold-blooded! But... at least I took out one of his helpers!
So thought the Crawlers' double.
But a question suddenly surfaced in its mind-
Hadn't it already torn Lilia in half earlier?
How had she looked perfectly fine afterward?
Before it could find an answer, however, this double lost consciousness completely.
"That guy didn't seem very smart, Captain. Is this the dangerous enemy you called the 'Crawlers'?"
Elsewhere, Lilia, resurrected from the Coffin at full health, came over to Lin Yuan and curiously studied the pool of blood into which the distant double had melted.
Lin Yuan had confirmed earlier that Lilia knew nothing about the Crawlers. Her disgust toward the Crawlers came entirely from an instinct she herself could not explain.
"There seems to be something wrong with his mind, but his power also seems to have grown. We can't let our guard down."
After some thought, Lin Yuan offered that assessment.
Judging by the powers of observation the Crawlers' double had displayed in battle, it could not possibly have failed to realize that Lilia had extremely powerful regenerative abilities.
Taking someone like that hostage was an extraordinarily foolish move.
Unless, when the Crawlers' double had first torn Lilia in half, it had been in a confused state and hadn't noticed what it was doing at all.
