Chapter 525: 13 Devourer (7K)_2

As he looked at Bai Wei again, Lauren suddenly noticed something.

On Bai Wei’s face, there was a wound that was still bleeding.

Lauren recalled that it was a wound caused during the assault using [Spirit Shock] on Bai Wei earlier.

Earlier he thought that the reason Bai Wei could react was that Bai Wei had some method to be immune to the shock, so he deliberately used it as bait.

But if it was baiting, was it really necessary to make it so thrilling?

The wound was right by the temple, just a little deeper, and Bai Wei’s life would have been at risk.

...Does it mean that [Spirit Shock] is effective, just that its effect on this guy is not that apparent, so he woke up a bit quicker than normal people?

Just that bit saved his life?

If he delayed the release time of [Spirit Shock] a bit more, would it have succeeded then?

The more Lauren thought, the more he felt it might be possible.

After all, [Spirit Shock] is a direct attack on the soul; conventional means have no use.

But what if his judgment is wrong, and the opponent truly doesn’t buy it?

Lauren hesitated.

After all, [Spirit Shock] isn’t a costless attempt; it requires consuming sanity, which he doesn’t have much left of right now.

If he tries it another couple of times...

While Lauren was hesitating, he saw the blood on Bai Wei’s face trickle down to the corner of his mouth. Only then did Bai Wei reach to touch it. When he saw the blood on his hand, he showed a belatedly surprised expression.

He didn’t even know he was injured!

Sure enough, the previous dodge was an accident!

[Spirit Shock] is effective!

Lauren’s brain quickly made a rational judgment, and at the same time, his body shot forward like a spring, rushing straight at Bai Wei.

And Bai Wei’s eyes flashed with a look of horror, which Lauren also caught.

You didn’t expect it, did you! You still got seen through by me!

Lauren’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam.

Bai Wei retreated quickly, but he was just a bit slower than Lauren. When Lauren was about to catch up with him, Bai Wei raised his hand and used the Magic Chains again.

Panic! Panic! He’s panicking!

Lauren didn’t care much, those spells were ineffective against him!

So when he closed in at the nearest possible distance, he roared once more.

[Spirit Shock]!

Sure enough, Bai Wei’s body halted once again, trembling.

Hahahahaha!

Lauren shouted in his heart.

Die quickly for me!

Once again, he lunged at Bai Wei.

And this time, he still held back, with three heads and six eyes staring at every part of Bai Wei. Even if Bai Wei wanted to trick him again, he could immediately spot any trace.

Sure enough, Bai Wei had no response, seemingly still in [Spirit Shock].

At this distance, it was impossible for him to escape from Lauren’s attack!

Lauren swung his claws, and simultaneously, the two heads bit towards Bai Wei from two blind spots.

But,

"Swish."

Bai Wei’s body suddenly vanished.

Lauren missed again.

What’s going on?!

From the corner of his eye, Lauren saw Bai Wei already above his head.

...But how was this done?!

His body didn’t make any movements at all, his six eyes saw it clearly.

Wait, what is that...

Lauren saw some black things behind Bai Wei.

...Magic Chains?!

Those were the Magic Chains used earlier for attacking him!

Lauren immediately understood, those Magic Chains he summoned earlier weren’t for attacking but for displacement!

Damn it!

Lauren understood, but it was already too late.

His body was still rushing forward due to inertia, while Bai Wei, suspended in mid-air, spun around and grabbed the handle of the Serrated Knife still stuck in Lauren’s neck.

Then, with a "swoosh" sound.

Lauren’s head was severed from his body.

The body that lost its main head stumbled forward a few steps before collapsing to the ground, while Bai Wei landed gracefully with the help of [Magic Chains].

After both of them landed, that head finally fell like a ball.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"You indeed have brains."

Bai Wei smiled as he spoke to Lauren not far away.

"Pity there wasn’t much."

Lauren didn’t respond, as if he was dead through and through.

But Bai Wei knew very well, losing just one head wasn’t fatal to a fully wolf-formed Wildfire Believer.

Sure enough, before long, Lauren staggered back onto his feet, a low panting sound coming from the other two wolf heads.

Bai Wei sighed lightly.

The trouble was coming.

Yes, losing one head wasn’t life-threatening.

But...

Lauren slowly turned around and looked at Bai Wei.

The rationality in those two pairs of eyes was almost nil.

"Already completely insane, huh?" Bai Wei asked.

"You... I... kill..."

Lauren was still speaking, but the words he uttered were unintelligible.

"You should still be able to hear me, right." Bai Wei said calmly, "You’re almost out of rationality. Now’s your last chance, revert from wolf form, and you’ll still have a chance to change back."

Lauren acted like he didn’t hear Bai Wei, his mouth still repeated those previous words without meaning, and his body gradually hunched, standing on all fours.

More wolf-like.

"Seems like I overplayed it a bit." Bai Wei sighed again, "Did I just drain all his remaining sanity?"
