Volu Deeper Step by Step

The gargoyle's skin and muscle were just like stone, even the inside of its h as leather

Fortunately, the crih quality material: iron from a meteorite It was only because of its quality and the plus twelve remnant souls-which functioned as an enchantle blow

Even though a gargoyle looks very different from a human, its brainstem is sier directly severed the brainste the creature onto the tree branch behind it

However, even after such traumatic injury, it still did not die Instead, it lashed rew, inal size It ballooned out, struggling even ressively

Although its head was still pinned to the tree truck, the creature stillits claws into the hunchbacked servant Frank could only feel searing pain wash across his back, but he persisted He continued to press on, deteroyle's th would surely have no hope of persevering

”Lean your head to the side” Frank heard a cold voice behind him The hunchbacked servant was startled and immediately moved his head to one side

”Dodge!” a sharp wind passed by the hunchbacked servant's ear, leaving a line of blood on his cheek

When Frank looked to the side, he noticed a shovel next to his head

The shovel struck level with Frank's ear, cutting the gargoyle-like an axe, right through its still gaping, bloodyits head in two The creature's fierce eyes slowly di; this time, it truly was dead

Franked sluainst the tree He panted loudly, trying to catch his breath Qin Lun had bandaged his shoulder and back, but he still looked dazed

The red glow in Qin Lun's eyes faded He was nowthe monster's corpse, but he did occasionally looked over at the hunchbacked servant's face The reason for the expression was quite obvious, just now, Joey's cold and ruthless gaze had left the hunchbacked servant fairly disconcerted

Although Wellington and Frank were eration to say that the tere very close with each other; they had grown up together after all The hunchbacked servant wouldn't even ton; however, when Qin Lun literally stabbed hioyle, it left the servant feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity and distance

In reality, Qin Lun truly appreciated Frank's loyalty, which is why he kept his pro this universe

However, Qin Lun, in the end, wasn't a nors have morals and ethics On the other hand, he had only read the any of them in his heart

From Qin Lun's perspective, even if Joey had killed Frank, he wouldn't feel any guilt in his heart The hunchbacked servant was loyal, but the object of the loyalty was not hiton Stein that had already died

Qin Lun circled the gargoyle a few ti back up He turned to face where he had seen a white silhouette a disappeared without a trace as if what he had seen earlier was ardless, Qin Lun kneas not an illusion, the hunchbacked servant had seen it before

”It is almost day” Qin Lun looked at the still-in-a-stupor hunchbacked servant, releasing a sigh ”Frank, it's tiet up!”

”Huh? Young…Young Master, we're going back now?” The hunchbacked servant held his shoulder while standing up, keeping his head low not facing Qin Lun

”First refill Stephen's grave I'll go back first You should wait a while before returning to the castle” Qin Lun glanced at the hunchbacked servant's shoulder and bloody back, pausing for a moment, ”If you can't endure, just return with me”

”Understood, Young Master!” Hearing Qin Lun's words, the hunchbacked servant suddenly beca, he revealed a sain, ”What should we do with this monster's body?”

Really, what a sihed in his heart as he watched the revitalized Frank Just a few plain words showing concern led hiet Joey's previous ruthless expression

”This gargoyle…” Qin Lun eyes flashed and then slightly narrowed He then lowered his voice and quietly spoke a few instructions

A while later, Qin Lin patted the soil on his body away, and started to walk out of the forest The sky was already bright, he had to iet suspicious

However, after walking a few steps, he changed his an to walk in the direction of where he spotted the white figure After quickly circling the area, he stopped in front of a tombstone

This hillside forest was the Albert family's ce to an Albert family member

”Mary Albert”

”Pfenning Calendar 1698-1732”

After seeing this tombstone, the corners of Qin Lun's ether But once he looked up and saw the color of the sky, he regretfully spat out a sigh and started running out of the forest, not looking back once
