Chapter 37: reason

There was pure white fire in his eyes, warm and blazing.

Suddenly I remembered a story from distant memory, accompanied by thunder and heavy rain.

I remember that those Vikings had no intention of taking me to Yngvegur. They were just after their money. I fought with them on the boat for a long time, but were finally thrown into the sea. I thought I would die, but when I woke up on the shore, the land of Yngvegur was right under my feet.

That was truly the moment when my dream came true. When I woke up on the beach, the sun in front of me was so warm and scorching.

The fireworks illuminated the dark space. Lorenzo held the staff sword, and the blade had been half inserted. As long as it penetrated completely, it would pierce Sabo's heart. But at the last moment, Sabo raised the blade, and his four arms clamped the staff sword from different angles. He could only ignite Sabo's chest, but could not burn his internal organs.

"Mr. Holmes, so you consume the secret blood to kill people like me?"

Lorenzo's hideous face was reflected in his eyes, the dark tattoos were like entangled snakes crawling on the skin, and his gray-blue eyes were glowing.

"So in order to fight the demons, you don't mind turning yourself into something like a demon?"

Sabo gave an ugly smile, then used his four arms to forcefully throw Lorenzo away. The barbs at the end of his limbs moved rapidly along the rock wall, and then dived into the darkness. Lorenzo landed on a wooden stake, holding a sword and a gun.

"So, Mr. Holmes, are you going to kill yourself someday?"

The voice came from the surrounding darkness with a hint of irony. Due to the hollowness of the rock wall, Lorenzo could not determine the specific direction.

"This is the secret blood a doctor gave me. He said it was a technology from the Order."

The image of the plague doctor gradually emerged in his mind. He was the same person as the mysterious mentor, weird and scary.

"The cult was one of the first to fight against demons. They pursued noble character and the name of God to hunt monsters in the darkness. Even if they died, they would send weapons made of holy silver into the hearts of monsters. They are truly holy believers. I am about to cry..."

A sharp bone blade came from a corner of the darkness. Lorenzo immediately swung his staff sword and cut it off easily. His eyes scanned back and forth in the darkness, extremely alert.

"So what? Sabo, the secret blood no longer exists. Who is that doctor?!"

Lorenzo asked harshly. He obviously knew more than Sabo, and there was a rare hint of anger in his tone.

People are greedy. Fishermen hunt whales and extract flammable whale oil from them. Cults also extract things that should not exist from the bodies of demons. That is the source of all evil. Those who fight monsters will eventually become monsters.

"This is the Order's fault. That is a power you cannot control!"

"So you can master it, right?"

As Sabo's shrill roar came down from the darkness above Lorenzo's head, Lorenzo pushed hard and the rapier cut the wooden stake under his feet in half. Endless water splashed and then the bullet detonated by gunpowder penetrated the water curtain and hit Sabo.
