"Hurry up, let's go home."

Lilina patted Lillian's head:

“I want to see it too. His Excellency Schup has already told us where to find him, so let’s see it next time. If His Excellency Schup is really angry, we can’t really send our great-aunt to rescue us.”

With no other option, Lillian sighed and left with her cousin.

As Lodey had predicted, the battle in the streets quickly came to a conclusion.

As Luo Xiu's final punch landed, Alger's massive body slowly collapsed, like a camel crushed by the last straw.

boom! ! !

A heavy thud echoed as Alger's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Luo Xiu waved his hand to fan away the dust in front of him, then grabbed his right hand with his left and stretched it upwards, feeling a sense of ease throughout his body.

It's been a long time since I've thrown a punch with such gusto.

"They've all left..."

Luo Xiu looked towards the street corner and murmured.

As the effects of [Berserk Giant Transformation] faded, Alger's figure slowly shrank, returning to his original burly and muscular form.

He looked even worse after switching back to his original body.

His body was covered in muscles, and there wasn't a single unscathed spot on his body. The pain that had been reduced by the skill's effect had returned to his body, causing him to clench his teeth, break out in a cold sweat, and have veins bulging from his neck to his forehead.

Alger, the fearless berserker, looks like he's about to die from the pain.

Luo Xiu walked towards him step by step, his voice coming from under the cloak:

"I heard that you initially wanted to break my arms and legs, and then you wanted to kill me."

"I'm not that cruel; I'll just cut off your hands and feet."

"If one of them wins a major tournament, it should be recorded in Kanriel's history."

Alger was being driven mad by the intense pain all over his body. Luo Xiu's words came out intermittently in his mind, but he could still barely understand the general meaning of Luo Xiu's words.

He wanted to speak up and reveal his identity as a member of the Berserker Academy, but the pain in his body rendered him speechless. His burly body rolled wildly on the ground, and he could only let Luo Xiu approach step by step.

Luo Xiu conjured a dagger in his hand, twirled it with a flourish, and examined Alger's body:

Where should we begin?

Finally, amidst Alger's terrified screams, he found his position.

Right at the base of Alger's right arm.

And so, the dagger's edge drew a silver-white arc in the air and slashed down!

Ding--

The tip of the dagger touched something, producing a crisp, metallic sound.

Luo Xiu followed the golden tentacle that had blocked his dagger and looked ahead.

It was a strangely dressed figure, a tall, thin man with a golden top hat on his head. His face had a stiff smile that looked like it had been painted on, revealing a row of teeth. He wore an extravagant gold tuxedo and tight pants, and a golden tentacle extended from his fingers, blocking Luo Xiu's dagger.

【green】

Luo Xiu instantly used [Survey] to determine the tall man's rank.

"Are you from the Berserker Academy?"

Luo Xiu spoke slowly.

"No, hehe—"

The man's voice was sharp and stiff, like a forced giggle.

Luo Xiu noticed that when Alger, who was rolling on the ground, heard the man's voice, his body trembled violently, even more so than when Luo Xiu was about to cut off his arm.

"Then why did you stop me from cutting off Lord Alger's arm?"

Luo Xiu asked.

"Because he owes us money, hehe—"

The man still spoke in that strange tone, sounding completely unlike a normal person.

"He owes you money?"

Luo Xiu seemed to be deep in thought:

"How much do you owe?"

"I owe, so much, so much, I owe so much, I can't even count it all, hehe—"

As the man spoke, his right hand also made gestures, as if he were performing in a play.

"He gambled away all his money, gambled it all away, and then he lent us 150, hehe—"

"If you don't pay back the money, we'll take you back, take you back, hehe—"

With each word the man spoke, Alger on the ground trembled even more violently.

At this moment, it seemed that the pain in his body was nothing. He got up, his tall and strong body moved, knelt on the ground, and looked at Luo Xiu. Fear could still be seen on his blood-stained face, and his voice was slurred:

"No, please don't let him take me away. Please, please don't let him take me away. I'll do anything you want, please."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Alger's eyes.

It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying thing would make him rather kneel down and beg Luo Xiu than leave with the tall man.

Luo Xiu remained silent.

He actually intended for the tall man to take Alger away. He had used his [Survey] ability to check, and the tall man wasn't lying. But for some reason, he always had a strange feeling about the tall man.

It was a scent he had smelled countless times before—the scent of a demon.

The smell was so strong it seemed to emanate from the tall man's very bones; it was definitely not something he picked up from killing monsters.

However, no monsters would appear in Kanriel City; this was something his teacher had told him personally.

That day, before going to the arena, he went to find Tata and asked about the arena monsters.

Tata only said that it was the result of a deal, and that living monsters could only appear in the arena at the fifth gate at most, and could never enter the city; that was the rule.

"Okay, I'm taking him with me, hee hee—"

Seemingly impatient, the tall man extended another tentacle from his other hand, sweeping towards Alger.

Ding--

Luo Xiu brandished his dagger, colliding with the tentacle once more.

He could have the tall man take Alger away, but robbing him was a different matter altogether.

“Answer me a question, and I will let you take him away.”

Luo Xiu spoke softly.

"You ask, hehe—"

The tall man's smile was stiff.

"Sir, is it a demon?"

As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, even Alger, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment.

The tall man didn't answer immediately; his eyes darted around in their sockets.

The world seemed to fall silent instantly.

Huhu——

Huhu——

Only the wind was howling.

For some reason, the atmosphere in the air began to become increasingly heavy, and Luo Xiu could feel a killing intent spreading towards him.

"No, hehe—"

The tall man finally spoke.

lie.

The results of the investigation showed that the tall man's emotional state was exactly the same as his lying state.

This is a question where there is no need to lie, and a normal person would not lie.

In other words, the tall man opposite them is very likely a demon.

Luo Xiu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with apprehension; there were demons in Kanriel.

Why did the teacher say no?

Did the teacher lie?

No, he remembered that when he asked the teacher, he had turned on the "scrutiny" function, and the teacher hadn't lied.

But did he actually initiate the "examination" at that time?

Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

Do monsters speak human language?

It seems so.

Luo Xiu felt his mind was in a mess, and many things were starting to become unclear. He needed to find a quiet place to think things through properly, as he couldn't seem to figure things out in his current state.

"Alright, I'm taking him with me, hee hee—"

The tall man spoke up.

"No, you can't take him away for now."

Luo Xiu finally grasped the only clear thought amidst the chaos: whether the man in front of him was a demon or not, wouldn't it be clear once he caught him?

That is, the instant his words fell,

Whoosh whoosh whoosh ———

The sound of something dancing in the air rang out.
