"In the walls?"
Loren knew that Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts could burrow, he just hadn't guessed they would live inside walls.
Brick walls were nothing to an abyssal creature like the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beast. The Eternal Dark Abyss was full of hard rock, and if they could burrow through that, they could burrow through anything.
"Take to see it, quickly."
Seeing that Loren wasn't planning to leave, the people from the Church felt a bit more at ease.
"Yes..."
They led Loren to the room where the cage had been discovered. Behind the desk was a small hole, with a Scarecrow standing guard there the whole ti.
"Right here. We just saw so colorful fur here."
"Idiot..."
Loren's single sentence left the man dumbfounded. He had been expecting praise from Loren.
"I told you before, Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts can sense killing intent. With soone standing guard here, of course it would run.
"It's a creature of the Eternal Dark Abyss! Its eyes are the organ it needs the least! Don't think it's fine just because it didn't see you!"
As he spoke, Loren kicked the wall down with one foot. The inside of the wall was empty; not a single Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beast was seen.
At the sa ti, everyone realized the space inside the walls was huge. They hadn't just hollowed out one wall; the walls of the entire villa had been hollowed out, including the load-bearing walls.
"Just destroy this house along with them. That's the only way. It's a dangerous building now anyway."
Loren walked outside through the hole he had kicked open and plunged Requiem into the ground.
Tiny root systems began to spread out from Requiem as the center, gradually enveloping the entire villa.
Second-tier magic, Entwined Roots, a perception magic of the Abundance Sequence. It could envelop a large area with fine roots to sense any movent within that area, including underground.
"You, use a powerful magic to deal with the villa and the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts inside together. The rest of you are responsible for any that escape."
Loren gave the order to the Bishop. The Bishop stood beside Loren and began to chant a spell, while the others imdiately took up their positions.
The Bishop's chanting was slow, far slower than Eldrin, whom Loren had killed. Eldrin was basically one of the strongest in Gedlan. This tiny speck of a country didn't have much combat power.
As the Bishop chanted, four giant ancient trees grew from the four corners of the villa, growing larger and larger.
The Bishop's chanting reached its conclusion. He made a motion as if gripping sothing in the air, and the several large trees entangled with each other, directly crushing the villa. The ground also trembled along with the grinding, crushing motion.
Sixth-tier magic, Giant Wood Strangulation. This was also the strongest magic the Bishop could use.
The large trees were tightly entangled, leaving almost no gaps in between. The trees were still wriggling like pythons. The villa was completely ground into powder. A bit of blood seeped out from the gaps between the trees. The Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts hiding inside the walls were also crushed along with it.
The commotion was so great that the surrounding residents were alard, but when they saw it was the Church handling matters, they quickly hid back inside.
For the Church to mobilize so many people, it must be very dangerous. Personal safety was definitely more important than watching the excitent.
"Three escaped. Kill them all."
Loren sensed the escaping Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts through Entwined Roots. Not many had escaped.
Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts had no brains. They could only sense killing intent and would just hide deeper. They completely couldn't imagine that their hiding spots would be destroyed along with everything else.
The few that escaped had slipped out through gaps just as the house was breaking apart. They simply couldn't hide back inside; it wasn't that they realized escaping offered a greater chance of survival.
"Received."
A Scarecrow who had been lying in wait the whole ti responded. The escaping Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts were all ensnared by vines bursting from the ground, imdiately strangled. Their bodies exploded directly, blood spraying everywhere.
"What we need to see is a river of blood!"
With the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts here completely dealt with, Loren was just about to give a few instructions to the others when he heard a burst of cheering.
He looked towards the source of the sound and saw Flossie holding a waterlon.
"Want so waterlon, Master?"
Flossie also noticed Loren's gaze and broke the waterlon in half, handing one half to Loren.
"It's dangerous here. Go back quickly."
Loren knew she loved to join in the excitent and figured she was probably drawn here by the commotion.
"Can I follow you?"
Flossie didn't want to go back, but she saw the look in Loren's eyes. In the end, she gave an awkward laugh and retreated.
"She ca following you."
Movila leaned close to Loren's ear and whispered. From others' perspective, it just looked like the Raven on Loren's shoulder pecked his ear.
"Is that so?"
Watching Flossie's retreating figure, Loren fell into thought for a mont.
It was Flossie who had previously taken the risk to warn Loren to beware of Dream. Flossie had quite a few secrets on her.
However, it was impossible for her to harbor ill intentions towards Loren. On one hand, she had passed Mirrorheart's screening. On the other hand, the few tis she had revealed anomalies were all for Loren's sake.
Loren had considered asking her how she obtained information about Cassian, but he ultimately dismissed the idea and didn't dig deeper.
He only needed to know that Flossie was on his side.
"Alright, use this thod to handle the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts in other places as well..."
Loren sheathed his blade, stroked Movila's feathers, and prepared to leave. Helping to this extent was already the utmost he could do in benevolence and duty.
Once again, just as Loren was about to leave, soone called out to him.
"How can you treat little bunnies like this? If you dare to cruelly kill rabbits today, you'll dare to kill people tomorrow! I'm going to tell my daddy to have you all arrested..."
The speaker was a fat person, wearing a dress that looked extrely expensive.
"..."
Loren rubbed his temples, unable to help but sigh that the God of Bountiful Harvest had indeed let its followers eat too well.
"If she can say sothing like that, there's an eighty percent chance her family is hiding Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts. Lock her up with the Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts when the ti cos, display them on the street, and let people see the threat of Prismatic Void-Gnawing Beasts."
At first, Loren had so interest in slapping faces, but now he just wanted to deal with this person quickly.
"But Master ntor, she's the minister's daughter..."
"Then lock her dad up with them too!"
The Church mber had wanted to remind Loren, but was directly shut down by Loren.
"Yes..."
He responded and lowered his head.
"Arrest her. Go search her house now. The minister should be in the palace right now. Arrest the minister too!"
The Bishop acted quickly, imdiately sending people to control the woman who had just spoken. Loren couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he could beco a Bishop.
"I'm leaving. My bottom line is that her dad doesn't have to die. For the rest, whoever cos to plead for rcy gets locked up with them."
Loren ultimately didn't go to the absolute extre. The Bishop also understood Loren's aning: he could spare their lives, but physical suffering was unavoidable.
