The Little Devil of Sakaz

-

The Tower of Babel is a bit far away from the target site. The location is close to the "border" of Kazdaele, and it will naturally take several days to travel on the way.

"Stay vigilant."

Led by Worm, the four-person team gradually approached the ruins.

There are various frozen things on the outside of the ruins, some of which are humans and some of which are beasts.

"They...are held here until they die."

logos was judging the manner of death of these creatures, holding the bone pen used for casting spells tightly in his hand.

"There's movement over there, I'll go check it out."

Ascalon noticed a strange noise and sneaked into the shadows to investigate.

The remaining three people stayed here to guard.

logos thought about what kind of spells should be constructed to resist that strange attack.

Manfred controlled the Tikaz Root to check whether there was a breach in the main entrance of the ruins.

"There are signs that the ruins have been opened recently, Worm. Someone may have broken in."

The results of Manfred's investigation were somewhat ominous.

"Are you going to break in, Worm? Or wait for Askaron to come back?"

Logos has carved many spells on Worm, and it would be a waste if he didn't take action.

"I'll go in... logos, Manfred, you wait for Askaron to come back."

Worm has a pocket watch on his body, which is immune to time-based attacks, but Banshee and the others do not. If the target attacks them, Worm is not sure that he can guarantee their safety at the same time.

"Okay. We will help you guard the outside."

Worm put on the mask, pulled out the bone nails, and entered the ruins full of traces of time alone.

34. Silence, Sakota

Worm walked alone, walked through the complicated corridor, and came to an empty place.

Opening the door, he came face to face with the intruder.

"Sakota."

The three halos of light were extremely bright in the dark hall, and Worm felt that these three haloes alone could illuminate the whole hall.

"Sarkaz?"

The other party also discovered Worm who came in later.

Without further ado, a bullet was heading straight for Worm.

It was the pink-haired Sakota who made the move, and her other two companions didn't even react.

"Pong!"

With a crisp sound, the bullet was blocked by Worm with a bone nail and bounced away, and then Worm launched a counterattack.

"Don't let him get close!"

This Sakota team has rich combat experience and a tacit understanding of cooperation. They relied on the advantage of long-range firepower in a three-on-one manner to try to pull Worm to death.

"..."

Worm blocked the bullets he faced, but the pink-haired Sarkota was a bit too tricky, and attacks always came from unexpected places.

Fortunately, Worm's body is protected by the banshee's spell, which can block those annoying attacks.

"This little guy is so difficult!"

Kankan dodged a sword attack, and just when the blue-haired Sakota was about to fight back, he found that the little Sakaz had already rushed in front of him.

"Ping!"

Two bullets came one after another, one hit the bone nail in an attempt to deflect the blade, and the other hit Worm's head, trying to fundamentally solve the problem.

"Unlucky..."

She was ready to die.

Because neither attack worked.

Worm's body has a shield built with spells, and his blade was only deflected by Therese who became serious. These Sakota are compared with the banshee's spells and Therese's force. So what?

The blade pierced the skin of the blue-haired Sakota's forehead. If Worm applied just a little more force, the opponent's head would be cut in half like blood jelly.

Defeating or even killing these three Sakota was easy for Worm. The opponent couldn't even miss his sword, so how could they break his defense and hurt him.

But Worm's mission on this trip is not to take Sakota's head back as a trophy. The first goal of the mission assigned to him by the doctor is to obtain the "lock and key" to ensure that this powerful force can bring strategic power to the Tower of Babel. advantages on the level.

But just now, he had discovered the location of the lock and key, so these three little Karami were irrelevant.

"He just left?"

Touching his bleeding forehead, the blue-haired Sakota looked at the little Sakaz who dodged a few times and burst into the darkness without knowing why.

"His purpose...is the things in this ruins."

Sakota, the only male in the team, made a guess.

"Either way, he's too much of a threat...more terrifying than any Sarkaz we've ever seen."

It was an instinctive intuition. If they didn't attack, they would die.

"That's the truth...but next time, let's communicate in advance, Lemuan."

"Sakota still need to communicate? Andorn."

"...Sometimes, empathy is not omnipotent."

As the captain, Andorn sighed.He means to communicate with Sakaz...

"Compared to these, you two, if we don't hurry up and get there, our things will be taken away by the other party."

The blue-haired Sakota, who was lucky enough to survive, began to divert the attention of his teammates.

Something that could be targeted by such a powerful Sakaz was definitely not a simple thing.

"So, what's your decision. Andorn, captain."

Lemuan, the pink-haired Sarkota, communicated with him just as the other party said.

"It is necessary to go deeper, but our own safety must be the priority. The opponent's strength is too strong..."

"Copy that. Let's go, Mostima."

Lemuan had already walked forward with the big sniper in his arms. The blue-haired Sakota, known as Mostima, spread his hands to Andorn, then followed after holding the gun.

"I hope Fiametta will come back later."

Looking at the direction they entered the ruins, Andorn prayed for his last teammates.

That little Sakaz definitely did not come alone. There are probably more Sakaz in this ruins.But thinking that the companion was Li Boli, who was easier to hide than Sakota who brought their own fluorescent lamps, Andorn was relieved.

Worm didn't know the movements of the Sakota team. He had followed that feeling to the depths of the ruins.

"Welcome, welcome... I haven't had any guests here for a while. Was it yesterday or..."

A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness like the murmur of a nightmare, and then some flames lit up from the darkness.

Worm saw the "person" clearly.

A man with a stooped body, his whole body is as withered as rotten wood, but some parts have a healthy luster that ordinary people can't match. His race has been tempered by time so that it cannot be seen. He is holding two magic weapons tightly in his hands. The stick seems to have never been let go.

He looked at Worm, looking at this young man full of vitality and plenty of time with his big frog-like eyes.

"What do you want to know? Or do you also want to gain its power?"

"How much knowledge do you know? Young man."

Worm didn't say anything nonsense, he just drew his sword and started to chop.

He was not surprised by Worm's behavior, as he seemed to have experienced it countless times.

"I saw you coming...ah, young body, infinite vitality..."

"Demon King... your royal court will eventually collapse, and everyone will betray you? Will you be alone? Poor child..."

He started gibbering and going crazy, turning a blind eye to Worm's attacks.

"Well……"

He seemed to want to say something more, but Worm, who ignored his attack, had already cut off his head.The hands of the pocket watch only moved three small divisions.

The two staffs then fell to the ground, and a hundred years later they were covered in dust again.

"Put it down!"

But after Worm held it, three fluorescent tubes came here one after another.

Wurm ignored their threats and felt the power hidden in the two staffs.

The power of time, or... the power of huge things.

Probably because he finally got rid of the control of the old body that didn't want to die, the power or consciousness inside began to become active.

An invisible wave enveloped the four people present, as if that consciousness was choosing a new holder.

"..."

The power of time stimulated a certain bloodline in Worm's body, and he seemed to be able to see the manifestation of some kind of destiny.

A figure he was familiar with, or maybe two.

Theresia...is dead.

Therese quietly fell into a deep sleep on the throne.

"boom--!"

The sound of a gunshot woke Worm out of that hallucination.

Of the three sakota, only one was left standing.

The pink-haired Sakota who had attacked him fell to the ground, her gun far away from her.

The blue-haired Sarkota, who was almost killed by him, was sitting on his knees, the arm holding the gun trembling. The halo on his head was flickering unsteadily. Worm could see a pair of horns similar to Sarkozy's. It keeps growing from small to large.

The other Sakota, after looking at him, staggered away with a complicated expression.

strange eyes.

Worm didn't think too much, he was just thinking about what he saw.

The appearance of Theresia and Therese...

35. What is Sarkota’s secret?

"..."

Worm came to them.Watch them.

He could detect some emotional fluctuations coming from them.

Being "betrayed" by his companions, he could barely detect the "hate".

Worm had more curious things to know than understanding their emotions.

Why does Sakota have Sakaz's horns on his head and Sakaz's tail?

He looked at Sakota, whose halo had dimmed and had grown horns and a tail, and felt very puzzled.It was like there was some riddle swirling in his mind, and he could easily know the answer but couldn't guess it.

"Maybe the doctor and Kelsey will know."

Worm thought.

Why did Sakota become like Sakaz?This question is so interesting.

Worm closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the doubts in his heart dissipated a lot.

He shouldn't have too strong thoughts about this kind of thing. What he should care about is the scene he saw. Why did Theresia die?If Theresia died, why did Therese die too?
