What happened at the castle?
Upon hearing a loud bang, Joey, who was still on the city wall of Ashfurnace, looked in the direction of the sound.
The once majestic castle was now half-collapsed, and the terrifying giant hand and blood-red battle axe above it had not yet returned to the teleportation array.
"Lord of the Abyss!"
Chris clasped her hands together, looking indifferently at the giant hand hovering above the castle.
"Lord of the Abyss?"
Joey looked puzzled.
"A demon summoned by a warlock, but this demon is a bit troublesome!"
Chris continued to explain to Joey, but judging from her, Levia's, and Yi's expressions, they didn't seem to intend to help.
"Can't you beat them?"
Looking at the collapsed castle, Joey felt a pang of worry for the Lord of the Abyss.
"We can't beat them!"
Chris was quite blunt.
"This Lord of the Abyss has an extremely obsessive fascination with certain souls. Once he has identified a soul as his own, he will do everything in his power to obtain it!"
"However, if the soul in front of him doesn't interest him at all, he won't heed the warlock's summons and won't even leave his territory!"
Chris glanced at the tribal army below the city walls, preparing to meet the enemy once again.
"You all stay here and watch, I'll go check it out!"
Now that things have come to such a critical juncture, even Joey, who is usually very cautious, can no longer stand idly by.
"What are you going there for? To throw your life away?"
At this moment, Levia also spoke up, advising Joey not to go over.
"Going to my death? I don't want to die, at least not now!"
Joey's working life in this other world had just begun to improve, and he had hope for the future, so how could he bear to die at this time?
"Didn't you say I was chosen by the Sunwell? It's definitely my job to turn the tide!"
Joey's lips curled up slightly, a smug expression on his face.
"Then go ahead!"
"Remember... don't... don't die!"
Levia stuttered a little as she finished speaking.
Joey didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He waved to the three of them, strode out, and ran towards the castle.
The Abyss Lord had retracted his giant hand holding the battle axe. His size was simply too enormous; the summoning portal opened by the warlock couldn't allow him to emerge completely, so he had to switch back and forth, which looked quite troublesome.
As Joey ran, his other giant hand reached out and went straight for Catherine.
Seeing this, Meld threw the Maragon in his hand directly at the giant hand. Maragon understood and, without harboring resentment, tightened his grip on the steel sword and thrust it towards the giant hand descending from the sky.
Sizzle!
Malagon's steel sword pierced the Abyss Lord's arm, and dark green blood was already seeping from it, but the Abyss Lord's movement toward Catherine did not slow down in the slightest, as if the sword had pierced someone else's arm instead of his own.
Malagon frowned as he looked at Meld behind him. Meld sighed softly and raised his staff high in his right hand.
A crimson beam of light shot out from the gem on the staff, soaring into the sky. Shortly after, a massive fireball, five or six meters in diameter, burst forth and hurtled toward the giant hand.
Maragon steadied himself on the arm, and seeing that the fireball hadn't come down yet, he drew his steel sword and slashed the arm a few more times. Then, when the fireball was almost upon him, he leaped off the arm and jumped down.
Bang!
The fireball struck his arm, pushing it back slightly, and a faint smell of burning could be heard.
Her arm instinctively clenched, only to grasp empty air. Catherine, amidst the black mist, looked somewhat tense, but she forced herself to continue her actions, and the black hole above her head gradually expanded.
Whether it was because he missed this time or because Meld's fireball spell actually hurt him, the Lord of the Abyss seemed to become angry. Suddenly, his giant hand swept downwards, and a whirlwind was generated, causing Meld in mid-air to shake.
Judging from the giant hand, it seemed to have another move planned, but it suddenly stopped and retracted back into the summoning gate.
"Um?"
Meld was puzzled.
Malagon also looked curiously at the summoning gate.
A vertical pupil reappeared in the summoning gate, its light gleaming, even more excited than before. However, its gaze was not directed at Catherine, but in another direction.
The direction Joey ran from.
Joey, who was running at full speed, also noticed the gaze in the sky. He recognized it; it was just like the gaze he had felt when he first met Catherine. She was dressed scantily then, which aroused his possessive desires. And the giant eye above him felt the same way now.
"You've taken a liking to me?"
Joey felt a chill run down his spine. Although he was good-looking, he wondered why this devil would suddenly take a liking to him.
Meld, having regained his footing, also noticed the situation. He looked at Maragon and found that Maragon was also looking at him. The two of them smiled at each other, understanding each other without saying a word, but they were clearly not surprised by the situation.
"Great Lord of the Abyss, the soul you need to collect is that woman's, not this human man's!"
The old sorcerer at the foot of the castle was quite agitated upon witnessing this scene. He couldn't understand why the Lord of the Abyss he had summoned would suddenly change his interest, abandoning Catherine and instead showing extreme interest in this human man who had suddenly appeared.
"Hey, big guy, this is way too strong a flavor, I don't like this kind of thing!"
Joey stopped and called out to the eye above his head.
Now that he has attracted attention, there is no need for him to run over there anymore. Catherine is safe, at least for now.
The pupils disappeared, and then another giant hand reached down, but this time it didn't go towards Catherine, but pounced towards Joey.
Joey didn't dare to confront it head-on, so he immediately turned and ran.
However, although this giant hand had no eyes to guide it, it seemed to have a nose on it, and it followed after him by smelling his scent.
Joey's size appeared extremely small compared to this giant hand, so his short legs were completely unable to escape the giant hand's pursuit. It looked like the giant hand was about to catch up with Joey and grab him.
"call--"
A hurricane struck, and before Joey could react, his entire body was lifted up and sent flying into the air.
Only then did he realize that Meld's staff was pointing at him.
