The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1563 446: Plague Tooth Assassin_3

In fact, the Divine Chosen of the "Eternal Hunger Claw" was also on the list of sacrifices.

Of course, Luo Yan had never seen the Eternal Hunger Claw before, so he didn't know what its ritual was exactly. He only deduced it roughly using logic—the Angel Envoy of the Eternal Hunger Claw grew stronger with each kill, and even getting killed would make them more powerful, eventually growing stronger with more killings.

Until eventually, a monster emerged that even a Demigod could not deal with, slaughtering the remaining survivors in one go, completing the final grand sacrifice.

If his hypothesis was correct, then the "Salvation Army" he was fostering would be Urgos' biggest nemesis on this land.

It's no wonder.

After suffering setbacks on the frontline, they did not hesitate to send assassins over.

"Seeing" those little rats lurking under his spiritual power tentacles, Luo Yan's mouth curled into a barely noticeable smile.

There were 102 Ratman Assassins in total, the strongest of whom was surprisingly Gold Level, and even the weakest was Bronze Level.

If he hadn't stayed in the castle to keep watch every day, they might really have had a chance.

After all, relying only on a "Champion Warrior" was somewhat mismatched in expertise.

This was likely their entire elite force deployed in the Sparrow Wood Castle region.

By the way, he intentionally arranged the battlefield in this convenient place.

He didn't just notice these little fellows recently, even though they were indeed hiding quite well.

"Mr. Colin...?"

Seeing Colin suddenly staring directly at her, Carian felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly flushed under his gaze.

Even though she knew those clear eyes held no inappropriate intentions towards her, and she herself had no thoughts of overstepping boundaries, she nervously and softly asked, her hands squeezing her skirt out of tension.

Luo Yan didn't respond, merely smiling as he extended his hand.

"Can I borrow your hand?"

He needed to prove to the "foolish" Youyou that he wasn't always hiding behind a woman.

As a dancer with agile movements, he would change his stance as needed.

Sometimes he'd be upfront.

Carian didn't hesitate or question any further, extending her right hand.

It was at the moment she clasped the warm big hand that she felt a dizzying whirlwind around her, and when she came to her senses, she was standing in the woods outside the castle, surrounded by lush greenery.

This is...

Where?

She blinked until she locked eyes with a stunned squirrel, watching the pine cone drop to the ground, realizing Mr. Colin had brought her out of the castle.

As Carian was puzzled about his intentions, the Ratman Assassins hiding in the shadows of the castle's colonnade were also bewildered, not understanding what had just happened in front of them.

The cloaked man had merely held the Holy Daughter's hand, and then the two disappeared into thin air.

Vaguely, Gini Rotten Tongue, holding a dagger, saw a butterfly land quietly on the colonnade's railing.

He had never seen such a beautiful butterfly, its star-like patterns seemed as though they didn't belong to this world.

Before he could comprehend, a leisurely voice surfaced in his mind.

"...I really hate guests who come in unannounced. What if I'm in the middle of some secretive act?"

Never claimed to be a paragon of virtue, after all, there's a 1% chance of that happening.

Gini's pupils suddenly contracted, his small eyes darting around in a panic, searching for the source of the voice, yet he couldn't see where it was coming from at all.

Not only could he not see where it came from, but the little fellows ambushing alongside him couldn't even hear that voice, still dumbfounded as to why the target suddenly disappeared.

Gini didn't know what kind of trick the human was using, but one thing was certain—

Their plan had been exposed!

Without a moment's hesitation, he decisively tore off his disguise and shrieked out loud.

"Abort the plan! Scatter! Quick! Retreat!"

They weren't going to escape.

At the same time Luo Yan's words fell, a bone-chilling cold sealed the doors on both sides of the colonnade, cutting off the little rats' retreat.

Meanwhile, the metal armor on both sides of the colonnade suddenly came to life, raising the Nail Head Hammer and Knight's Longsword that were propped up before them, gleaming with an icy gaze beneath the armor.

No one was preemptively ambushing inside.

An unseen hand and a glowing Magic Wand controlled every piece of the cold armor.

"...Cast in iron as thy flesh, thou must offer sinful blood to repay thy grace... Go forth, slay these pests for me."

The spell was woven to completion.

Unlike the Sword Saint, who conducted every duel openly and let the opponent draw their sword first, the Demon King never cared for chivalry, his methods always flamboyant and treacherously varied.

Before the panicking little rats could flee, twenty-five Steel Puppets charged like battle tanks, pounding forward with heavy steps, clanking as they rushed in.

The frightened Plague Tooth Assassins tried to counterattack with their poisoned daggers, only to find they were no match for the Metal Puppets.

Direct confrontation was not their strong suit, especially against these iron-clad adversaries.

Even if their daggers could pierce the cold Heavy Armor, they couldn't stop these bloodless knights from swinging their longswords, wantonly slaughtering through the rat horde.

Though these Ratmen were no mere rabble, boasting extraordinary power and skills, they still could not escape the trap woven personally by the Diamond Level Undead Mage for them.
