"Did you see it! That thing threw Jack out like a rag doll!What the hell is that?What the hell is a skinner!" The look of surprise on Elsa's face was already palpable, and she couldn't help but be surprised. You must know that even in the face of a demon that is twice the size of itself, the power of the wolfwalkers will not be inferior, let alone be beaten far away, as of now, the red fox can imagine the existence of such power, and only the demon lord Dodo who has attacked them has been able to imagine it. But that's the Abyss Lord!

Cheese struggled to keep himself awake, and the constant blood loss made the gray-robed man's vision a little misty, and he couldn't even concentrate in such a state, let alone cast spells. What a carelessness, the mage thought. However, he also knew that if he fainted due to blood loss, he should at least tell his companions what he knew. So he opened his mouth with white lips, "Skinners, they are misguided seekers. According to the earliest legends I know, they appeared because of shamanic erroneous rituals. ”

Shamanism does not refer to a specific religion, but to the primitive beliefs practiced by most tribes far from civilization. These beliefs often do not have a specific deity to worship, but rather priests who claim to have received divine grace to proclaim the will from above. As a result, shamanic teachings and sacrifices are often barbaric and bloody, and living sacrifices and even more horrific rituals are commonplace. However, this does not mean that shamanism is a complete deception, and in this magical world, there will always be things that are not easily recognized and will accept this barbaric ritual for various reasons. The Skinners are the product of this ritual of transformation.

"The first Skinners were not evil, they were warriors who hunted beasts for the sake of their tribe. Shamans process the skins of hunted animals and drape them on the warriors' bodies, blessing them with the physical qualities of animals. But perhaps corrupted by the devil, in order to gain more power, the once pure beast-skin warrior began to desire to merge more with the beast. They eat their prey raw, including their internal organs and muscles, and they drink the blood and burn the bones to ash and smear them on their skin. Finally, they will wrap the peeled skin directly around their body. Legend has it that in this way, the soul of the prey will be absorbed by the hunter and become a part of him completely. And so the Skinners were born. ”

Cheese said this with a palpable look of disgust, and in his opinion the presence of the Skinners could be called blasphemous, as they touched the most unpleasant taboos like the Lich, death and souls. And unlike the Lich's own soul, the Skinned One completely devoured the soul of another creature equal to himself, an act that was no different from or worse than that of a demon. "When they put on that skin, they become beasts to be slain, but unlike Transfiguration, what is already dead cannot die a second time. That is to say..."

"No one can hurt the Skinners?" Elsa understood what Cheese meant, and the prey killed by the Skinners became their best protection, which explained why the magic worked on them. Just like no one can hurt a stone, because it is not a living thing, how can it be hurt if there is no question of life and death?

"Ahem," Cheese shook his head, coughing up a mouthful of blood, "not entirely. Everything that desecrates nature is afraid of the sun, and it is said that even when the skin is draped, the sun can still incinerate the skinned person to ashes. Just like vampires, right? But the Bloods aren't as bad as they are, vampires eat humans at best, but skinners, they don't just hunt beasts. In the areas where they live, there are often rumors about a person who goes out alone and returns home with a drastic change in temperament, and those stories often end with the death of the whole family or the whereabouts of the family. In fact, both endings are the same, the skin of the skinners will be damaged, and they are always looking for something better. ”

"You mean... The Skin-Skinner killed them, but why???

The mage sneered, more blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, "This is their price. Becoming skin-solvers, their own skin will fester, and every day, every second, they will endure the pain of ten thousand insects eating their bones, and only fresh skin can relieve this pain. Then you can understand that they are no good for the world, they are a complete cancer!

"It's a cancer, but it's a stubborn cancer. At some point, the figure of Krus appeared next to Cheese, his naked upper body with several obvious but not serious scars. The Demon Spawn frowned, clearly puzzled by the battle, "If only Daylight can kill him, how can we fight him?"

The Demon Spawn was the first of them to realize this, and as a killer, he was more accustomed to striking at his opponent's weak points with a single blow, rather than slowly draining his enemy's stamina and waiting for an opportunity. That's why he turned to Cheese for advice while the wolfwalkers and dwarves were entangled in the skinner. If the fight continues like this, the consumption of both sides will be equal.

"There must be a crack in the skin of those guys, find it, tear it open, and you can dig him out of the skin! Without the skin, the skin-skinning man is not invincible!" the mage said and began to cough again, and Elsa hurriedly pressed his chest to try to help the cheese breathe. The figure of Kalus once again rushed into the darkness.

Red Fox looked at the bushes worriedly, "They can win, right? They have to win, we have survived so many things, how can we fall here without knowing it." ”

"Give them a little more trust. Those guys even dare to cut down the Mother of the Crypt and the Demon Lord, and the skinned ones are just warming up at most. What really unsettled me was why the Skinners were here. Judging from their reactions, there must not have been such a presence among the nomads, but they have only recently wandered to this area? Ahem" Cheese's face became even paler, and brightly colored spots began to appear in front of his eyes, which was a sign of a lack of oxygen to the brain.

"Damn it, Cheese, wake up!" Elsa noticed the mage's silence, and she called out to the latter but never got a response. The girl from Dragonspine Mountain was not a princess who would only pray by her lover's side, anger welled up in Red Fox's chest, and after making sure that there were no other enemies around, she straightened Cheese's body and drew her usual short knife from the back of her waist and boots. "In the name of Dragonspine Mountain, no one can take you away in front of me, no one!"
