"Ahhh, my head! My head!"
Harry rolled on the ground, screaming continuously.
Trainee Warriors could easily deal with Slimes, but that was by nimbly dodging the Slime's acid and then killing it with a weapon.
If hit by the acid, even a Trainee Warrior would still get injured.
Just like Harry now.
His arm and scalp were already a bloody mess, corroded by the acid.
The intense pain made his eyes roll back and his body convulse.
"Burton, quick… take me to a priest! Hurry!"
Hearing Harry's command, Burton didn't move an inch.
Are you kidding? If he turned and left now, Tommy definitely wouldn't last long.
Once Tommy died, could Burton still escape?
Moreover, the scene before him made Burton feel that his and Tommy's chances of survival were very, very low.
Their eyes were wide like copper bells, as if they had witnessed something incredible.
Across from them, Adrian maintained the same defensive stance as before.
But beside him, there were four bouncing Slimes!
"Am I seeing things? The Slimes aren't attacking Adrian ?"
Tommy swallowed, unable to understand why the Slimes would help Adrian deal with Harry.
"Damn it, there were clearly no Slimes around just now! These Slimes were created by him!"
Burton pointed at Adrian , his forehead covered in cold sweat, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "This guy… this guy can create monsters!"
Create monsters!
Tommy's body froze, looking in Adrian 's direction, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He had never known that someone could create monsters!
"Someone who can create monsters… is also a monster, right!" Tommy's voice was tearful as he said to Burton, "Even Lord Harry has fallen, we're no match. Burton, let's run!"
Burton was also very scared, but he remembered what Adrian had said before the fight started.
"Once the battle begins, everyone must be prepared for Death!"
Burton patted Tommy's shoulder, repeating Adrian 's words, saying, "We tried to kill him, and he definitely won't let us go now! We have to fight him to the Death!"
"But we can't win!" Tommy saw Adrian make another move and couldn't stop himself from backing away.
"You have to fight, even if you can't win!"
Burton roared and charged at Adrian with his sword raised.
Clang!
Swords clashed, sending out a few sparks!
The next second, the Slimes, whose skills had cooled down, all aimed at Burton and spewed acid.
Burton frantically rolled to the side, and before he could get up, he was kicked down by Adrian again, lying face down on the grass.
Pfft!
The dagger pierced Burton's back, and his eyes suddenly widened, his hands clutching tightly at the dirt.
Before long, the light in Burton's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Don't kill me, I don't want to die!"
On the other side, Tommy saw this scene and no longer had any thought of fighting Adrian ; he turned and ran.
Adrian naturally wouldn't leave anyone alive. Enduring the pain of his wounds, he had the Summon Slimes watch Harry while he quickly chased after Tommy.
"Don't chase me! Lord Adrian , I know I was wrong! Please, let me go, I absolutely won't tell anyone about today's events!"
Tommy looked back and saw Adrian approaching, scared out of his wits, begging for mercy non-stop.
But Adrian ignored him, just kept chasing.
Thud!
Tommy, looking back at Adrian , didn't notice a raised stone on the ground in front of him and tripped.
As he was about to get up and continue running, a foot suddenly stepped on his chest, pinning him back down.
"Lord Adrian , let me go. It was all that scoundrel Harry who made me do it, all the bad things were his idea.
I shouldn't have helped him harass your friend, and I shouldn't have thought about harming you.
Please, let me go.
I still have a ten-year-old… child at home, boo hoo hoo… If I… die, she… she will be… bullied, she will be… bullied… My… good… daughter, boo hoo, Daddy is sorry… for you… Daddy knows… he was wrong…"
Adrian pulled the short sword out of Tommy's heart, listening as his pleas for mercy gradually turned into confession, and finally, he became a corpse.
"Perhaps you have a reason to live, but you don't understand life as clearly as Burton!"
Adrian looked at Tommy's corpse with a complex expression.
When Adrian Summoned the Slimes, Burton knew that if he didn't kill Adrian , he would never make it back alive.
So, even though he knew he couldn't win, he still charged at Adrian , fighting for his last chance at survival.
Perhaps Tommy really did have a ten-year-old daughter.
But it was still that same saying.
"Once the battle begins, everyone must be prepared for Death!"
Adrian dragged Tommy by the leg, pulling him over to Harry's side.
Harry was barely breathing by this point.
His golden hair had been corroded, leaving only clumps, and the red flesh was still bubbling—the acid hadn't been cleaned and was still corroding.
When he saw Adrian approaching, Harry reached out his arm and grabbed Adrian 's leg.
"You can't kill me, my brother Sharp Karl is a Level 10 Knight, the Captain of the Bloodscar Mercenary Group, the third-ranked Mercenary Corps in Valkam. If you kill me, he won't let you go!
Take me to a priest, save me, and I will repay you well."
Harry was half-dead, struggling to speak.
"Is it repayment, or revenge? The moment you decided to kill me, I put you on my kill list!"
Harry's eyes widened sharply when he heard this, and his injured right hand suddenly grabbed the greatsword lying nearby, swinging it at Adrian .
Clang!
Adrian easily blocked the weak and powerless greatsword with his short sword.
"You can't kill me! How dare you kill me! My brother will definitely avenge me—"
Before Harry could finish his sentence, Adrian slit his throat with the short sword.
While waiting for Death, Harry's heart was filled with regret.
"Why did I have to provoke this monster?"
A gentle breeze blew, and the grass on the prairie swayed with the wind.
Adrian sat on the grass, grimacing.
During the battle, he had also been cut several times, and his wounds were still bleeding.
"No, I still need to handle the aftermath!"
Adrian surveyed the five corpses around him, his gaze falling on the money pouches at their waists.
"Time to loot the bodies!"
Adrian 's lips curved upwards as he pulled off the five men's money pouches.
"Five, ten… forty-three silver coins! And even one gold coin!"
Adrian was a little surprised to pull out a shining gold coin from the money pouch.
The money pouches of Burton and the other three combined only amounted to twenty silver coins, plus over a hundred copper coins; the rest were all found in Harry's money pouch.
"Harry, this guy, is actually so rich!"
1 gold coin equals 100 silver coins.
That means Adrian killed five people and increased his wealth by 144 silver coins!
"As expected, murder and arson lead to wealth!"
Adrian gave a wry smile, saw a large group of wild Slimes being led over by the Summon Slimes not far away, stood up, took his money pouch and short sword, and left the area.
These Slimes eat everything!
With them around, these bodies would soon be Devoured.
