Pillar of Yita

A vivid green light shot out from the Holy Emblem of Lady of the Forest at Atira’s chest.

It resembled an expanded, ring-shaped, green glowing orb, and as its shimmering outer membrane expanded outward, passing through the monster’s blood-red claws, visible to others, one after another, blistering bubbles formed on the claws, and then burst apart, with green plant vines wildly sprouting from within.

The brambles tore apart the monster’s flesh, pulling it piece by piece, like flowers blooming, revealing the sinister white bones beneath; but the bones remained as fragile as powder under the green light, breaking piece by piece — five long claws, as if hitting an invisible barrier, shattered and scattered all over the ground.

The monster let out a miserable scream and quickly retreated like a pathetic creature that’s been bullied.

The Elf Miss paused for a moment, pressing her Holy Emblem with one hand: ”Lord Ameya?” she asked softly. At this moment, a Light Spear shot out like lightning, piercing through the monster’s chest, pinning it to the gray stone wall behind it, where cracks burst open like the surface of a thawing lake, splitting in half.

The monster opened its mouth wide, revealing snow-white fangs, exhaling a misty breath, and emitted a low, hoarse screech from its throat, struggling briefly before its head tilted and drooped.

The process was like an electric flash, only when Mr. Big Cat’s light spear left his hand did everyone react.

Ai Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale, she patted her chest with lingering fear: ”I was scared to death, what monster is this...?”

But no one could answer.

Only Atira watched the blood trail slowly sliding down from the wall, calmly answering: ”Blood Servant.”

”Blood Servant?”

Only then did everyone gather around, the monster looked like a skinned human, with no head, a huge bloody mouth directly at the neck, one claw already pulverized in the previous combat, and the other was a long, forked, curled tentacle.

The monster lay on the ground like a lump of flesh, a gaping black hollow at its chest from which blood flowed out.

At this moment, a voice came from behind the Elf Miss holding the Holy Emblem: ”Blood Servants are not true creatures, but semi-golem statues transformed by combining Alchemy and Evil Magic rituals — in Osh, they are also called Blood Golems.”

Mr. Big Cat walked up from behind, to the side of the Blood Servant, his heavy armor making a ’rustling’ sound.

He stopped by the grotesque corpse, squatted down, picked it up from the ground, and inserted his gloved hand through the fangs into the gaping bloody mouth.

And Tianlan, who had just approached, heard a sound like inserting a hand into mud water, saw a stream of blood water emerging from Mr. Big Cat’s hand. Her throat churned immediately, she couldn’t help but turn pale, quickly covered her mouth and ran out.

Elisa, on the side, fared slightly better but was still discouraged, pale-faced she asked: ”Mr. Reed, what are you doing...?”

Mr. Big Cat didn’t answer, only grabbed the tongue, pulling it out of the blood water. With a ’pop’, the tongue came off along with something. Mr. Big Cat held it in his hand, and for a moment blood water flowed, dripping into the dust on the ground.

The blood water mixed with sand, turning black and brown—

Seeing this scene, at the same time Ai Xiaoxiao was about to flee in panic with her mouth covered, at that moment, the long tongue suddenly came to life — it curled and struggled, emitting a shriek from Mr. Big Cat’s hand.

Then the thing sprang sharply, slipping out from Mr. Big Cat’s glove, landing on the ground, crawling toward Parker like an octopus. The Papalarians was so frightened he almost forgot he was a crossbowman, or rather ’King of Nightingales.’ Although the thing was at least one or two feet away from him, the Little Fatty let out a miserable scream, landing on the ground.

In the nick of time, Mr. Big Cat suddenly extended his iron boot, stamping on the octopus-like thing. After a faint sound, it instantly turned into a pool of blood water.

Then Reed cast a burst of Platinum Blazing Flame, turning the flesh fragments on the ground into ashes.

After finishing everything, he patted his paw, looking up at the crowd:

”This corpse is merely a decapitated living sacrifice, the thing was the true body of the Blood Servant. The Blind Godly Dika created the twisted creature through nightmares and grafted it onto the sacrifice with Alchemy and Evil Magic. If not completely killed, Tansnier would face great trouble—”

Ai Xiaoxiao felt slightly shocked listening from the side.

”Mr. Big Cat, can this thing still reproduce?” she asked softly, enduring her discomfort.

Every time Reed heard her address, he couldn’t help but chuckle, but still replied: ”This is a sacrifice, also a host, the Blood Worm — it was that thing just now, using the sacrifice as nutrients to reproduce, then infiltrating the underground water through tainted blood. Once the blood plague breaks out, half the city could be infected...”

”Then, now...?”

”Luckily, those guys seem to have abandoned this place ahead of time.”

”Those guys, do you mean slave merchants?” Ai Xiaoxiao very puzzled asked: ”But why do they do this?”

Mr. Big Cat shook his head: ”Those slave merchants are not simple, they are the Blind Followers.”

”Blind Followers?”

”They are the believers of Blind Godly Dika.”

Mr. Big Cat suddenly said to Abed on the side: ”Take this corpse away, and burn it clean.”
