Meet the principal

Reiner stood carelessly in the middle of the aisle, looking directly at the other person.

The monster's eight legs reflected the light, and the ends were extremely sharp, leaving deep marks on the ground. Its hundreds of eyes were still moving individually, but the moment one of them captured Reiner, all of them His eyes immediately focused on the same location.

Being stared at by this monster, Reiner couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. An instinctive fear made him unable to look away.

This monster seems to come from mankind's deepest nightmare, it is terrifying.

Its tongue is in its mouth, waiting for an opportunity to strike. This is a hunter born for prey. It is cruel and ruthless and good at seizing any opportunity.

Reiner confronted it.

Judging from the two attacks just now, although this monster has the ability to hide and attack sneakily, its intelligence is not high. These actions must be just based on instinct. At the same time, although the tentacles are extremely destructive and fast, they can From the perspective of Reiner, whose body had been nourished by magic power and was much stronger than an ordinary person, this tentacle was not unavoidable.

This monster must have noticed this, so it did not attack immediately. Instead, it paid attention to Reiner's every move, waiting for the best opportunity.

Reiner held the dagger behind his back, lowered his center of gravity, and put his other hand behind his back so that he could throw the hand ax at will.

At this moment, the monster attacks.

Everything seems to be in slow motion, and the passage of time seems to have become much slower.

Reiner could see the tentacles being ejected from the monster's mouthparts, and the explosive sound caused by the violent compressed air was sharp and ear-piercing. The front part of the tentacles was a sharp blade, enough to penetrate the strongest wall.

But the other parts of the tentacles are not that strong. They are covered with fine scales. You can see that as the tentacles are stretched out, the gaps between the scales widen, and you can vaguely see the soft flesh inside.

Reiner's own movements seemed to slow down.

He dodged to one side and could see the tentacles changing direction slightly in mid-air, twisting with all their strength and shooting at Reiner. The game between the two sides was going on in an instant.

Finally, the tentacle whizzed past Reiner's ear and nailed the wall beside him.

The short knife in Reiner's right hand flashed, and the blade hit the scales, and dazzling sparks burst out. However, Reiner's strength and speed were far beyond ordinary people. Under the brute force, the short knife directly tore the scales, penetrated the flesh and blood, and Cut off the tentacles directly!

Buzz——

The monster seemed to let out some kind of low roar that could not be caught by human ears. It hurriedly withdrew its tentacles flowing with black blood, and at the same time, its eight legs kept interlacing and attacked Reiner.

"!!!"

Reiner took a step back with his right foot. At the same time, the hand ax hidden in his left hand was thrown out and flew towards the monster's head.

Phew——

The hand ax flying out at high speed hit the monster's head head-on, and a huge force burst out. The ax was like a cannonball, sinking deeply into the monster's head, and then triggered a shock wave.

Bang——

The monster suddenly lost its center of gravity, shrank into a ball at high speed, and rolled forward.

Bang bang——

Reiner avoided the corpse of the monster that was out of control,

Let it hit the wall, splattering thick black blood.

He waited for a while to confirm that the monster was dead, and then approached its body.

The monster's black blood was not corrosive and exuded a stench that was nauseating. Reiner retrieved the hand ax and used it to cut open the monster's belly.

"Master Reiner, why did you do this?"

Hellaison asked, but his tone was not curious, but more like confirmation.

"This monster should have been living here for a while. I hope to see what exists in this space by confirming his food."

Reiner didn't pay attention to the foul smell of the monster. He smashed its body open with a sharp axe, only to reveal something unexpected.

That's a human head.

The head was wrapped in mucus and was somewhat shriveled. Also found was a half-digested body. There was a huge hole in the chest of the corpse, which seemed to be the work of this monster.

Reiner's heart sank, and he hurriedly confirmed the man's appearance, because judging from the progress of digestion, he should have died not long ago, and based on his previous encounters, it was very likely that this man was his companion.

Even high-level mages cannot cast magic in the Dead Realm. If they are attacked by such monsters, they will inevitably encounter unexpected events.

However, Reiner soon confirmed that this was not Newington and the others, but a strange man.

"Hlaison, do you... know this person?"

Reiner asked. He still didn't think of Hellasan as an alchemy doll, and subconsciously wanted girls to avoid such a scene.

"Sure, this is Lato Rex."

Unexpectedly, Hellaison came out with such an answer, which made Reiner a little surprised and thinking.

Lato Rex has died in this claustrophobic space, which means that the Chaos Snake did not expect the situation here, and their operation may have failed.

"It seems that he has become the food of this monster. What a pity. I also want to ask him how much he knows about the so-called box in this ruins that can destroy the world."

Reiner said, and he looked at the other objects in the monster's belly. Most of them were irregularly shaped things that had been digested. They might be the corpses of other people who broke into the ruins.

He stepped over the monster's corpse, came to the corner where he had just been attacked, and looked towards the monster's original location.

I saw that the corridor was full of traces of blood solidifying and splattering new blood, and then solidifying again. Layer after layer, the leftover flesh and blood accumulated, forming a small mountain of flesh, and monsters must be lurking in the flesh. On the mountain, waiting for the next prey to arrive.

Looking beyond Roshan, Reiner saw an unusual door at the end of the corridor.

The door frame is decorated with silver metal, and the door leaf is painted with unique patterns, making it look like an entrance.

"This way."

Reiner said to Hellaison, and the two of them carefully walked through the stinky mountain of meat, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the gate.

After gently pushing the door, Reiner found that the door was unlocked and could be pushed open with force. He glanced at Hellaison and then pushed the door open.

Behind the door, there is a brighter space. You can see that the hall is surrounded by countless gray containers, filled with liquid of unknown purpose, and in the middle of the hall, in front of a table, stands a person.

He heard the door open and turned around, letting Reiner see his appearance.

This wasn't any of the mages traveling with Reiner.

But Reiner knew him.
