Leonid's nerves were already spasming unconsciously, and he realized the threat hovering over his head, the thing spreading its huge dark cloud of leather wings, dragging its long torso with strong limbs to soar through the air.

Before he could raise his head, Leonid was convinced that the thing was staring at him, for he was the only unarmed man and undoubtedly the monster's number one prey.

"Leonia, keep your head down, yes, that's it......" Leonid whispered to his daughter, his breath trembling uncontrollably, and for the desired comforting effect, he maintained his calm expression as much as he could, until he closed the metal lid of the cargo compartment completely.

Now, all he had to do was slowly climb up to the roof of the car and climb through the window that was big enough for two people to get in and out...

"Get ready, we need to buy the father and daughter some time." Lopud said to the three people beside him, his right hand already hanging the thorn on the rain.

It's too high, and there's no way to hit it in this position. Draenor clenched his firebolt tightly, hundreds of contingency plans flashed through his mind, but he chose the most dangerous and effective one—waiting for it to get closer.

"Whew!!!"

The monster let out a crushing howl, and the sail-sized leather wings suddenly tightened, swooping down on the crowd like meteors.

"You know what to do." Lopud took a step forward, waiting for Draeno to give the signal.

There is still some distance to go...... A little closer......

"Fire!!"

Bang!! Rumble!!!

The exorcist raised his fire at the same time as him, and aimed the leather wings at the monster's twisted head, sending two bullets into its throat.

"Huh...... Oh!! ”

The monster didn't have time to raise its head and climb back into the air when the blazing bullets pierced its neck, shooting two blood-stained fires from the back of its neck. It slammed into the roof of the car like a falling rock, and its strong inertia dragged its body forward until it fell into the mud puddle next to the tower, and fell ten meters away from the climbing vehicle.

"Leonid! Do you want to live? Let's go! ”

Michelle was the first to react and kicked twice at the door. Another violent shaking brought Leonid back to his senses, and he pulled the starting lever in front of him and pressed the drive pedal as if he were going to crush something.

"Buzz !!!"

The engine roared like crazy, and the metal wheels shook off a large cloud of muddy water, quickly reversed direction, and pulled the father and daughter to run away as best they could.

"Whew!!"

The fallen gargoyle shook its head in pain, dragging its body with its pillar-like limbs and rushed towards everyone!

Gotta stop this brute...... Jeanne drew her dagger, lowered her posture, and adjusted her breathing.

Just as she was about to activate her divinity, Michelle took the lead in drawing her shield and axe and rushed towards the behemoth desperately, the skin of the beast like a banner flying in the wind. He roared and jumped to his feet, slamming the metal edge of his shield at the gargoyle's head. But he was like a rat in front of the giant beast, and the impact that was enough to shatter the skull sent him into the air in an instant.

"Damn, is this guy made of stone!?"

The bullets fired in succession could not penetrate its solid leather wings. Just as Draenor and the exorcist drew their weapons to stop the monster with their flesh, it jumped into the air and spread its huge wings over Errao's head.

Jeanne seized the last chance to leap to her feet as the monster was about to climb into the air, stabbing the dagger into its thigh as a piton, and crawling down its twisted back.

In a matter of seconds, Draranoche felt the fear of brushing shoulders with death, and he immediately reacted, and the thing didn't want to waste time on himself and Lopud, but swooped straight down on the crawler that was struggling to run away!

Leather wings were like a parachute to the swaying air, forcing itself to slow down, and the gargoyle stabbed the roof of the climbing car with its massive hind limbs, unaware of the pain of the dagger tearing through the skin, pulling the entire carriage high into the air like an eagle grasping a rabbit.

"Ah!!h

Boom - boom!!

"Don't shoot! Jeanne on it! Draenor squeezed Lopud's arm, he didn't dare trust the Exorcist Rao's shooting skills as he usually did.

The echoing sound of gunfire almost completely overshadowed Leonid's heart-rending cries, and the gargoyle had climbed to the height of almost passing through the clouds, until Jeanne stabbed the dagger into its brow, tearing open a scarlet bloody hole.

The dying monster stubbornly flew towards the tower, and just as it reached the top, it raised its head and let out one last wail, allowing gravity to drag itself and Jeanne towards the platform on the side of the tower.

"Leonid! Leonia!! ”

Michelle struggled to get up from the mire, and he watched as father and daughter and the monster smashed all over the boulder platform. He saw the crawler crash into the tower's walls, tumbling in the air and throwing out two figures, leaving only the shattered chassis embedded in the surface.

Lopud rushed at the moment the thing hit the ground, leaving only a red-hot engine at the front of the crawler, and the explorer in the driver's seat was gone, save for a lever stained with viscous blood.

"They're not dead, I see it! They landed on that platform, and they couldn't have died! Michelle looked at the broken climbing cart and repeated it to the two of them over and over again.

Draenor looked up at the platform, which was tens of meters above the ground, he desperately wanted to believe the Vikings, but he was sure that he saw the father and daughter and Jeanne fall there like cannonballs, and there was little chance of surviving......

"There's a good chance they'll survive." Lopud suddenly interrupted his train of thought and calmly pointed to the platform, "The gargoyle only moves in its familiar environment, it came out of there before, and that platform is likely to be its lair, and it may act as a buffer. ”

Draenor frowned and remained silent, his fists clenched. At the moment when the gargoyle appeared, the original plan of him and the exorcist was completely disrupted, and the strong heroism that had been urging him forward disappeared without a trace, and what came to his mind was that the familiar powerless fact happened, suddenly and unstoppable, and he was like a sapling flooded, only stubbornly rooted, trying to save the fleeting life.

Jeanne is still there, the explorer and her daughter are still there, they need me......

"We've got to get there." Draeno took the greatsword to his back and secured it with the strap of his holster, waiting for Lopud's reply.

He didn't even have a chance to regret it, he knew that it would probably be in vain, and besides, his most important task was to pinch off the seedlings of the Moon Seed. But Leonid's wails as he struggled in the carriage tormented his conscience like a nightmare, believing that exorcists were not cold-blooded creatures, and that what good was it to kill all the beasts in the world if they could not save even the lives that were close at hand.

Finally, he saw Lopud nod firmly and remove his hand from the broken carriage, thorns wrapped tightly around his right arm.

"That's it, even if they are eaten, I will break the monster's teeth and pull them out of the gargoyle's belly!" Michelle regained her spirits, striking her shield with the back of her axe, roaring like a real Viking berserker.

Draenor took a step, almost running towards the gates of the Tower of Babel, and as he was about to step into the inner world, he suddenly remembered Lopud's warning to him.

"You need to double your heart, no matter what happens, you can't run ......"

He looked around the hall and saw everything in the hall, aided by the ghostly light of the gemstones, and the abyss-like space in front of him was the only way to climb the Tower of Babel. He could imagine the ancient people of the Creator speaking the same language, working together to burn the earth into hard masonry, and so on and so on, building upwards in layers, until the tower touched the edge of the firmament.

But that good biography is always just a biography. Draenor felt himself a thorn in the side of those in power, desperate for the ignorant stranger to take a step forward so that they could stick out their claws and fangs and torture his soul to death.

So he complied with the wishes of the superiors, and stepped into this endless abyss like a baby who had just learned to walk.
