Chapter 10: The Demon Drinker
In order to protect Gawain, Nia's right arm was injured, and the blood coagulated before it could be shed, and the temperature around her was too low.
The voices of the monsters around her did not decrease but increased, and Nia was desperate, she shouted, "Ahhhhh!!h
At this moment, the monster's low roar was filled with the dull sound of bones smashing to the ground, and Nia sensed that the monster was being destroyed.
"Lord Cross, is that you?"
No response.
However, Nia was well aware that the number of monsters was dwindling dramatically, and to her surprise, the fog had thinned out, and her keen vision had worked! She deftly dodged the monster's blow, picking up Gawain and smashing the monster to the ground.
"It's a skeleton!?"
Just as Nia was surprised to look at the skeleton with blue phosphorus in its eyes, Cross suddenly appeared, his eyes closed, a satisfied smile on his face, he punched the skeleton's empty abdomen, and then, the skeleton's skeleton trembled, and the phosphorus fire in those eyes was extinguished.
In this way, Cross kept killing monsters. He was enjoying the thrill of this hunt. It's just that he ignored an important thing, the magic power that was hit by him did not completely drift away, but was absorbed by him, and in the process of absorbing the magic power, he gradually lost his human consciousness, and he began to be greedy for magic power.
Now Cross is no longer 100% human, but a demon drinker among humans.
The skeletons fell in pieces, the fog in the area where the three had receded, and Cross was already torturing the skeletons further away.
Seeing this scene, Nia was stunned, she didn't know what method Cross used, she only knew that this human being was too strong, and she really felt the sentence that was recently emphasized in the organization: 'Only Cross Crane can bring Crane back to life.' β
Nia threw Gawain to the ground and shouted at Cross with all her might, "Lord Cross! you've done a great job! Now it's time for us to get out of here!"
Where can Cross hear Nia's shouting, a small skeleton with a punch, and it can also absorb magic power, how refreshing.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of Cross, and he kicked Cross in the abdomen.
Cross received a blow to the abdomen and flew upside down, and it was this violent blow that brought him to his senses, and he opened his eyes to see the figureβa werewolf with silver hair all over his body, and three scars on the left side of his face.
Watson!
The name immediately flashed through Cross's mind.
He tumbled all the way down until he stopped in front of Nia.
"Lord Cross, are you alright?"
Cross ignored Nia and looked up the hill, where Watson had disappeared into the fog.
Seeing that Cross didn't react, Nia directly picked it up and threw it off the cliff with Gawain, and jumped off it herself.
Three "poofs" in succession. Cross and the others fell into the pond one after another, but fortunately, the height of the cliff from the pond was not exaggerated, otherwise, with the depth of the pond was only three meters, the three of them would have broken bones.
As soon as the three of them came ashore, Nia lit a fire and took off her linen coat to dry.
"Take off your clothes, you will get sick. β
Cross glanced at Nia, her gray hair had been washed by the pond and turned into silver hair, and her gray face looked very cute after being washed.
After a few seconds of daze, Cross took off his black cloak, and Gawain curled up and shivered.
"Give me your clothes, and let Gawain get to the firewood, so he will feel better. β
Gao Wen, who was close to the firewood, was still shivering, his body was cold, but his forehead was hot.
"Gawain is sick, is there anything you can do? β
"No, but I'll find someone to cure him when I get to Blackwater. β
Cross didn't ask any more questions, he looked up, and the fog had been cut through the cliff and had come to a standstill.
Recalling the thrilling moments in the thick fog, Cross couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Thank you, Lord Cross. β
Cross smiled and didn't respond.
"You're so powerful! β
"I'm just trained to do it. β
"Really?"
"Hmm. "Cross couldn't think of a better excuse.
"You're a demon hunter?"
"It's not. β
Nia didn't ask any more.
"You're tired too, Nia, take a break. β
"Hmmm......"
Govinia fell asleep one after another, and Cross fell into deep thought.
He knew that it was thanks to the power of the bloodline that he was able to turn the crisis around just now.
It's just that he did too poorly to control the bloodline, and he was accidentally eroded by the power of the bloodline.
Moreover, he was more worried that the constant absorption of magic by the bloodline was most likely the plan of Kezul, who wanted to use him for resurrection.
Before that, though, he needed to be aware of the power of the bloodline.
So, he made up his mind to study the power of his bloodline from now on.
As for where to start his research, he didn't have a clue yet.
As Cross pondered, Watson sat quietly beside him.
"I didn't expect it to be you again. β
Cross turned his head, and he almost fell to the ground in fright from the sudden appearance of Watson.
"Watson!?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to say thank you, this is for you. Watson said, taking a conch and a few sticks of grass from his bosom and handing them to Cross.
"Conch?"
"If you or Nia are in danger, blow the conch and the werewolves nearby will come to help. Those herbs for your friends to eat. With that, Watson scurried into the woods and left.
Cross was speechless at Watson's sudden appearance and disappearance.
However, he has gained a lot this time. The conch in his hand should be the horn of Watson's werewolf tribe, and this horn is of great significance.
Moreover, he also roughly guessed Nia's background, and if nothing else, Watson is Nia's father. Moreover, Watson's thanks this time was to thank him for saving Nia's life.
Cross peeked at Nia through the clothes hanging on the branches, who was hunched up to sleep.
Looking at this ill-fated girl, he shook his head helplessly, and at the same time he repented of some of the evil thoughts he had had.
He put away the conch and forced the herb into Gawain's mouth, and the latter swallowed the herb and fell asleep again.
......
In the evening, Nia woke up.
She found her tattered cloth covering herself, and she immediately looked up for Cross. The latter was found dressed and napping against the trunk of the tree.
Nia gets dressed, and Gawain wakes up
"I'm hungry. These were the first words Gawain said when he woke up.
"Get dressed first, Gawain. β
"Yes, Lord Cross. β
"How's your body?"
"All right! The herbs you forcibly fed me work!"
"Lord Cross, do you still know how to heal?" Nia's admiration for Cross deepened, and the pair of beast ears involuntarily swayed back and forth.
Cross just smiled and didn't answer.
