The Wolf’s Bride

Crash…

The next moment, St. Dmitri slammed heavily sliding several meters before finally coming to a stop. Then, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Ugh…”

The injuries that had just shown signs of improvement became more severe.

St. Dmitri almost cracked open on the spot.

At the same time, the cloaked figure landed in front of him and looked down at him from high above.

Even through the cloak, St. Dmitri could feel the disdain on the figure’s face.

“You Who are you?” St. Dmitri coughed, struggling to support his body as he glared at the person.

The person did not respond but instead lifted his cloak.

That face…

As soon as St. Dmitri saw him, two words immediately flashed in his mind–the Insect Ruler!

Yes, it was the Insect Ruler!

As a top expert on the Obaro continent, he had heard about the distant experts from Florence a long time ago. The Insect Ruler was an existence that should be avoided, just like Old Hagstorm.

However…

He should have died many years ago. How was he… Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

St. Dmitri could not figure it out at all.

However, there was one thing he understood. Currently, with his severe injuries, he was no match for the Insect Ruler. The best strategy now was to show weakness and seize the opportunity to escape.

“So, it’s the Insect Ruler…”

St. Dmitri struggled to stand up and forced a flattering smile on his face. “It’s no wonder. I stand invincible in the Obaro continent, but only the Insect Ruler is able to easily injure me…”

The Insect Ruler remained silent, looking at him with a fake smile.

St. Dmitri’s expression stiffened, his mind racing rapidly. Then, he forced another smile and said, “Since you intervened in the affairs of Praxis Island, then there’s nothing left for me to do here…

“How about we join forces? You’ll take the lead, and I’ll follow! From now on, we’ll dominate the Obaro continent. No one will be our match! What do you think?”

St. Dmitri only had one goal–survival. He did not care about his dignity if that was the price of his life. Only a fool would hold onto their dignity.

“The Sauro Church has many followers and has a significant influence on the Obaro continent. It indeed has the qualifications to join forces with me.” The Insect Ruler nodded with a smile.

St. Dmitri instantly felt relieved. Judging by the tone, it seemed his life was saved.

Crack…

Before St. Dmitri could finish exhaling, he felt a piercing pain in his chest. He instinctively looked down, only to see a hand penetrating through his chest.

It was the Insect Ruler.

A look of disbelief flashed across St. Dmitri’s face. With his last bit of strength, he questioned, “Insect Ruler… w–why…”

Spurt…

The Insect Ruler pulled out his hand casually, paying no attention to the fountain of blood. He said with a grin, “Your Holiness, you’re truly foolish. Do you really think you have the qualifications to talk about cooperation with me? All I want are you subordinates.”

With that, the Insect Ruler supported St. Dmitri and wiped the blood off his hands. on the blood–stained white robes, looking completely calm.

“Ugh…”

St. Dmitri fell to the ground with a loud thud, not willing to accept his fate. “That’s enough.”

After cleaning his blood–soaked hands, the Insect Ruler shrugged and let an insect crawl into St. Dmitri’s corpse. Then, he made a few hand seals, turned, and left.

Under the influence of the insect, St. Dmitri’s corpse followed him stiffly.

A moment later, Luna arrived with the members of the Shrouded Gate.

“Hm?” Luna felt puzzled when she saw the empty wilderness. She had clearly sensed the unique aura belonging to the Pontiff earlier, so he should be nearby Why could she not find him?
