By the campfire by the lake, Bai Yi was still finishing off the large garlic lobster, while the shieldman Augur had already left.

He's got most of the intelligence he could, so there's no point in spending the rest of his time here.

The feeling that this heroic spirit, who claimed to be a hero of the Wayne family, gave Augur during their brief time together can be described in four words.

"Mysterious and unpredictable".

There was a contradictory feeling; it seemed that the other party really wasn't on guard against him, wasn't very vigilant, and didn't even seem to care much about him.

However, if he actually tries to fight, his shield and his armor may not be able to protect his life.

"This guy probably has some terrifying trump card up his sleeve. Let's not fight him yet."

The Holy Grail War is far from over; there will always be a chance to see what his secret weapon is.

Now, it's better to continue grinding monsters. While he was alive, he gained some kind of talent from the intense battles against non-human evil species as a demon-slaying machine.

He can sense those evil auras, making it easier for him to find prey.

This is why Augur didn't doubt Bai Yi's claim of being a hero, because he genuinely didn't sense any evil presence.

Of course, there was another reason for Augur's departure: the garlic lobster was just too delicious, making even energy bars taste bland for him and the Heroic Spirits.

"You're leaving already? You're really a hardworking person. Keep up the good work."

Next, I should continue walking around and see if there are any worthwhile goals here.

Watching Augur's departing figure, Bai Yi also sped up his cooking.

He had already obtained information about this world; after all, El's ability was not only to devour bodies, but also souls.

Bai Yi was now very clear about the several Dark Beast strongholds around Lahore, but there was something else that was even more concerning.

After he arrived in this small world, he had a very brief sense of connection, as if some familiar friend had also come to this world.

"Who could it be? Al Wayne has a lot of friends. I wonder which lucky person will have the chance to meet me here."

Which familiar old friend is it? That's a good question.

At this moment, that old friend is fighting a large number of Dark Beasts in a mountain range far away from the lake.

"■..."

The blue, writhing, amorphous matter constantly changed its shape, the friction and rotation between its tissues emitting sounds that sent chills down the spines of humans and even the Dark Beasts.

With the sound, death arrived as expected.

"Whoosh..."

The blue tentacles transformed into spikes, piercing through the bodies of several nearby Dark Death Beasts.

Despite it being just a simple penetrating wound, these guys stopped moving without even struggling.

At this moment, you can see blue tentacles spreading and proliferating along the wound within the Dark Death Beast's body.

It possesses a corrosive and digestive ability, turning flesh, internal organs, and bones into the same blue substance.

Finally, the tentacles left, leaving only the hides of those Dark Death Beasts on the ground.

This outcome severely damaged the morale of the surrounding beast hordes, and these normally ferocious monsters were now retreating.

At the same time, flames, ice, lightning, and a variety of ranged attacks were thrown at the blue monster as if they were free.

But it didn't work.

"Gurgle..."

Attacking can change the monster's form, but the effect is short-lived and not very noticeable.

Each time it is attacked, the blue monster launches a new counterattack, the encirclement grows larger and larger, and the blue monster inside also grows bigger.
