The giant hand of the abyss missed its target again, but this time, unlike before, it didn't rush to withdraw its hand. Instead, it followed Joey's location.
"Huh? They've installed a tracker on me?"
Joey also noticed the difference; the giant hand didn't need eyes to track his location, which was indeed a problem.
He glanced at Meld and found that Meld was looking at him quite calmly. He didn't know if it was because his arrival had relieved Catherine's pressure, or because Meld had no other choice and was somewhat resigned to his fate.
Seeing the giant hand following, Meld moved his staff as well. With the help of the wind element, Joey's speed increased significantly. The giant hand, which had seemed extremely fast, now appeared to be a worthy opponent and was unable to catch up with Joey immediately.
"It feels like I'm walking a dog!"
Looking at the giant hand that had been following him, Joey couldn't help but find it amusing. He also thought that this so-called Lord of the Abyss was incredibly stupid, having been so easily manipulated by them.
But Joey's joy was short-lived, as the giant hand that had been following him suddenly stopped.
Whether he had overheard what he just said or suddenly became interested in her, the giant hand paused for a moment before turning back to reach out towards Catherine.
Upon seeing the giant hand suddenly change its target, Meld and Maragon's expressions instantly changed.
Without any hesitation, Meld waved his staff, and Joey at the end flew straight towards the giant hand.
"Damn it, you old bastard!"
"If you're going to do this, at least ask the person involved for their opinion. I wasn't prepared at all!"
Seeing himself ruthlessly abandoned, Joey cursed Melder in his heart, but he couldn't do anything to stop his body from moving.
The giant hand seemed to sense Joey's presence and actually stopped, waiting for Joey to approach.
Since Joey was already there, he wasn't going to sit idly by and wait to die. So he took down his Shark Bow, nocked an arrow, and fired. The Abyss Lord's giant hand immediately had more than a dozen arrows in it. However, he didn't seem to feel any pain, and dark green blood was still flowing out, waiting for Joey's body.
...
Catherine, who was enveloped in black mist, suddenly opened her eyes, and the black mist around her vanished instantly. The black hole above her head expanded dozens of times and continued to expand.
Catherine turned her head to look at the giant hand not far away and Joey moving towards it, a few traces of worry flashing in her eyes, but she still focused her attention on the black hole and couldn't worry about Joey's situation.
Suddenly, a crimson beam of light shone down from the center of the black hole, directly illuminating Catherine and enveloping her entirely. The black hole also changed; the originally pitch-black entrance was gradually replaced by crimson, spreading outwards from the center.
"here we go!"
Melder watched the changes in the black hole and a smile appeared on his face.
Maragon glanced at the changes in the black hole, then looked at Catherine with some concern.
...
"What's going on? Is that all that damned warlock is capable of? If this drags on any longer, it's not a good sign!"
Hawkins, who was confronting Karp on the street, was also drawn to the strange phenomenon overhead. He was very dissatisfied, as things were not progressing as he had expected.
"Clang!"
The shield beside him was struck again.
"Don't get distracted, your opponent is me!"
Garp looked confidently through the gap in the shield at Hawkins in the middle and shouted dismissively.
...
"The prophecy of the Sunwell was indeed correct. This little girl's abilities are truly extraordinary. I just wonder if she can actually make this teleportation array work?"
Amidst the fierce battle, Chris noticed the changes in the sky and couldn't help but ask a worried question.
"Then we'll have to see if Joey Brown really can help that little girl, just like he predicted!"
Leiflia's words were clearly an answer to Chris, but to Chris, they also revealed a hint of worry.
"His soul is special; this demon has clearly set its sights on him!"
At this moment, Yi also seemed a little uneasy. The Lord of the Abyss suddenly put Catherine down and ignored her, instead keeping an eye on Joey, which made her worry about Joey's safety.
"If his soul weren't special, he might not have become the person prophesied to be!"
Leiflia was a devout follower of the Sunwell and was very certain of Joey's mission in coming to this world. As for whether he would really die here, she didn't know, because the Sunwell had no prophecies about this.
...
"Master, this is not your goal. You need to take that human girl away!"
The warlock in the corner muttered something, but the Lord of the Abyss inside the summoning gate did not hear it.
The warlock also became excited. His eyes turned black, and he seemed to freeze in place, but the staff in his hand emitted an even more eerie green light.
His body began to wither and decay, his cheeks sunken, and his eyeballs seemed to suddenly disappear from their sockets. The little flesh and blood left in his body rapidly drained away; he was sacrificing himself.
The giant hand that had been waiting for Joey suddenly moved again. It became excited, first grabbing wildly for a while, then abandoning Joey and reaching out to Catherine once more.
"Meld, get me there, quick!"
When Joey saw this scene, although he didn't understand why the giant hand suddenly changed its target, he knew that now was a critical moment. Catherine couldn't be disturbed, and it was time for him to be the hero and save the damsel in distress. This might put him in extreme danger, but things had come to this.
"good!"
Seeing that Joey had made such a direct request, Meld did not hesitate and activated the wind element to speed up Joey's journey.
The giant hand didn't stop; even as Joey landed entirely on its arm, it ignored Joey and continued reaching for Catherine.
In a moment of desperation, Joey took his steel sword from his waist and plunged it fiercely into the back of the giant hand.
Joey, the melee hunter, has once again distinguished himself.
Green blood gushed out, perhaps this did cause the giant hand pain, the moving arm paused slightly, and the blood on the back of the hand gushed out like a fountain, soaking Joey from head to toe, and a stench filled Joey's nostrils.
Just as Joey was feeling nauseous, he discovered that his body was suddenly unable to move, and he and the green blood were imprisoned in this giant hand.
