Chapter 2074 - 554: Saint Colin Hospital Knight Order! (Part 4)

How did this human gadget discover him!?

The blessing of Geluo, the Gluttonous Rat, is enough to make his presence as faint as that of a normal mouse. Coupled with his honed stealth skills, even a Demigod Strongman would have difficulty detecting him.

The blessing of the Divine somewhat touches upon the Rule Power and belongs to the same narrative tier as Demigod Level Domain Power and Miracle Power.

Unfortunately, the poor rat didn't know that although Erin is indeed a Chosen One, she can no longer be considered a classic human.

The nose of the Blood Race is no weaker than that of a Dwarf; she had long smelled that sneaky presence, which could very well be the blessing of Demon God Bayele.

Seeing he missed the chance for an assassination, the Plague Tooth Assassin hesitated not to dart towards the shadows behind him, trying to escape the battlefield and look for another opportunity.

However, before he could take a step, he found his hind paws dead-seized to the ground, immobile.

He looked down in horror, only to see two stout vines somehow already gripping his feet, with sharp thorns breaking into his flesh.

Paralysis toxin!

He had no sensation at all!

"Damn—"

Before he could cry out in pain, a cold light flashed.

Sarah's figure appeared like a specter behind him, the dagger in her hand cleanly and swiftly sweeping across his throat, sealing his fate in one stroke!

The distant battle also concluded.

Earlier, the Ratmen artillerymen of the Rotted Four Races attempted to deploy the Magic Energy Crossbow on the flank of the Campbell Mountain Corps, countering the artillery positions of the Gutaf Kingdom.

Also deployed here were six Alchemy Golems and over a hundred Silver Level Magic Scrolls...this was clearly not the handiwork of Ratmen.

However, now all that equipment has become the spoils of the Campbell Duchy.

After eliminating the threat, Sarah flicked off the blood droplets from her dagger, and with a swift movement, returned to Luo Yan's side.

Her delicate and calm face showed no waves or ripples, as if the dagger hanging at her waist had never been drawn. However, her amber eyes faintly glittered with expectation, akin to a cat looking forward to a reward after completing its owner's task.

Luo Yan is a Demon King who understands how to share graciously. Even foolish ones like Alakdo are showered with compliments, so naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with his loyal kitty.

He smiled gently, nodding and saying:

"Well done."

Upon hearing this compliment, the corners of Sarah's mouth faintly lifted, clearly waiting just for those words.

Though she tried hard to restrain her expression, the slightly wiggling cat ears atop her head honestly exposed her inner delight.

"That guy, Gold Level...had the scent of Holy Water on him."

Hmm, well don—this phrase seems to have been said already.

Looking at Sarah's expectant gaze, Luo Yan pondered whether he should pat her head, but just then, footsteps approached from nearby.

Erin sheathed her sword and briskly walked over.

Noticing the footsteps behind her, Sarah swiftly retracted the few signs of intimacy earlier and returned to her usual expressionless demeanor, retreating to a half-step behind the Demon King, as not to trouble Lord Demon King's grand scheme.

"Colin, are you okay?"

Erin asked with concern, her gaze sweeping over him to confirm if he was injured.

Although she had already witnessed Colin's prowess, she couldn't help but subconsciously carry a "stereotype" towards Mages.

They are the ones who need protection from Knights.

Smoothing his sleeves which were not even disordered, Luo Yan wore a smile as warming as spring sunshine, nodding slightly.

"Thanks to you, with the protection of a Diamond Level Powerhouse, I didn't even have much opportunity to take action."

Sarah's lips slightly twitched.

Lord Demon King remains as modest and humorous as ever.

But at this moment, Erin's attention was not on Prince Colin's modesty and humor, but rather on that smile as warming as spring sunshine.

She felt her entire exhaustion being healed.

"Not at all… If not for your and Lady Sarah's support, I wouldn't have won so effortlessly."

Erin's cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze bashfully drifting aside.

Luo Yan laughingly said:

"You're too modest. I believe even without me and Sarah, with your strength, dealing with a few Alchemy Golems would still be quite easy."

He felt gratified that Erin had already regained her former heroic demeanor, completely stepping out from the previous shadow, and turning her hatred towards evil into a force for positive change.

Incidentally, during that rainy and stormy night, their relationship had invisibly grown much closer than before.

A major reason Erin could so quickly step out of the shadows was thanks to his comfort and guidance.

As the battle wound down, an ambiguous atmosphere brewed within the relaxed environment, even though none of the three initially had this intention.

Just as Sarah pondered whether she should continue acting as a Magic Crystal Lamp, Theresa came over solemnly and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Your Highness, we've discovered more survivors in the caves at the rear. Including those saved earlier, their numbers now exceed five thousand."

"So many." Luo Yan's face revealed an expression of surprise, apparently the players found additional caves overlooked by Alakdo.

Theresa nodded gravely.

"Among them are nearly a thousand pregnant women, and we now face a tricky problem; we're running out of medicines at the frontline."
