Chapter 19 Instructor Bai Yang is such a good person! The Black Vatican's identity is exposed!
"what!"
Bai Yang, shaken by the shock, fell from the Ghost Wolf Beast and crashed to the ground. The Ghost Wolf Beast, bewildered by its master's lapse in attention, fell into a brief state of confusion.
"Ha!"
The one-eyed wolf didn't stop. It first rammed the ghost wolf beast away, and then took a bite.
The ferocious aura of the demonic wolf temporarily brought Bai Yang to his senses. In his vision, he saw the gaping maw of the abyss approaching, its dagger-like serrations resembling the scythe of death.
Using all his might, Bai Yang barely managed to shift a body part to the side, avoiding his vitals, but at the same time, he also exposed his thigh to the attack range of the demon wolf.
"Click!"
Bai Yang's thigh was bitten off by the demon wolf without hesitation, severed, chewed up, and swallowed. The seemingly hard thigh bone was nothing in the face of its powerful bite.
Instantly, blood gushed out. Bai Yang's expression froze as excruciating pain swept through his brain. Gone was his previous calm demeanor. He clutched his wound in agony and howled in pain.
This was far from over. The scent of Bai Yang's human blood further stimulated the one-eyed demon wolf's bloodthirsty nature. Seeing that it hadn't killed the tiny human in front of it with one bite, the one-eyed demon wolf didn't hesitate to bite down again.
"Click!"
This time, Bai Yang couldn't dodge its attack, and his neck was completely swallowed by the demonic wolf. In his dying moments, Bai Yang's eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions, including despair, disbelief, and intense resentment. He probably couldn't understand until his death why Ling Tianyu possessed the power of curses; wasn't he a plant-based mage?
"Evil people will always have their own villains... uh... Hungry Wolf! From the moment you joined the Black Church, you were no longer worthy of being human!" Ling Tianyu said softly, turning his head to see the figure of the Ghost Wolf Beast gradually fading away...
With the summoner dead, there is no longer a medium for dimensional travel, so the summoned beasts can no longer remain in the magical plane.
Moreover, there is a contractual bond between the summoned beast and the summoner. Even though this contract is not as domineering as that of the intermediate level, which involves sharing life and death, it still has a great impact on the summoned beast. The Ghost Wolf Beast in front of us is probably less than 70% of its full strength. Especially in the perilous summoned beast plane, such damage could be the difference between heaven and hell.
A silver-white orb of light floated in the air, and was then drawn in and absorbed by the power of Ling Tianyu's little Qilin.
"Humans can also explode their souls?" Ling Tianyu was slightly taken aback, but after carefully sensing it, his face lit up with joy. "Wait, it's actually a spirit! Instructor Bai Yang is truly a good person; he selflessly offered his spirit even after death!"
As luck would have it, just then, Xiao Ke's clear voice came from behind, "Yutian, Instructor Baiyang..."
"Ah!" Xiao Ke cried out in surprise, which prompted Xu Dahuang and the others to rush over. They immediately noticed the hero who had just hunted down the Black Church traitor—the One-Eyed Demon Wolf.
"Damn beasts!" Unfortunately, the group was unaware of the reason behind it all. Enraged, they were itching to unleash their magic.
"Sizzle & Burst!"
"Ice Vines - Freeze!"
"Ground Wave - Collapse!"
The one-eyed wolf was already at its last gasp, its fur and skin covered in wounds, especially the horrifying scratches on its back. It was less than a tenth of its former strength. Coupled with the relentless magical attacks from the demon-hunting team, the one-eyed wolf quickly collapsed, powerless.
A soft, shimmering light drifted like an elf into the small Qilin pendant on Ling Tianyu's chest.
"This... another essence!" Ling Tianyu was overjoyed. Now his little Qilin could definitely be promoted to a Spirit-level Stardust Magic Artifact!
On the other hand, the demon-hunting team's emotions were completely different...
"That beast actually killed Instructor Baiyang!" Fei Shi said angrily, his face grim.
"Didn't Instructor Baiyang have a summoned beast? Why was he killed by the One-Eyed Demon Wolf?" Cai Tang asked, her beautiful eyes turning to the only witness from earlier.
Ling Tianyu's face was filled with grief as he explained, "I'm sorry to Instructor Bai Yang. He was eaten by a demon wolf while trying to protect me!" His fists clenched tightly, and his voice trembled. He acted so convincingly that if it weren't for the fact that Bai Yang's death was inextricably linked to him, Ling Tianyu himself would have believed it.
"Alas, Instructor Baiyang is truly a great military strategist!" Xiao Ke sighed.
With no one left to testify, the matter was ultimately dropped. The members of the demon-hunting team had suspected Ling Tianyu, but they quickly dismissed the idea themselves. He was merely a low-level plant-type mage; trying to deal with a mage possessing servant-level summoned beasts was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
No matter how hard they tried, they would never have imagined that Ling Tianyu was born with two elements, the other of which was the most bizarre curse element.
Xu Dahuang quickly contacted military personnel and explained the cause and effect in detail.
Summoning mages as rare as Bai Yang are second only to one at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn, and many crucial missions cannot be completed without his participation.
Bai Yang's unexpected death was a bolt from the blue for the military.
The military personnel arrived quickly. After getting off the vehicle, they immediately cut open the abdomen of the one-eyed demon wolf, collected Bai Yang's severed limbs, and planned to take them to the military's Xuefeng Mountain post station for cremation and burial.
"This...this is!"
Among the military personnel was a capable woman with short hair. At this moment, she seemed to have discovered something, and her face turned horrified.
"What's wrong?"
"This is a mark that only the Black Vatican has!" The capable female officer pointed to a hideous black mark on Bai Yang's back and explained.
"What? The Black Vatican!" The people present were incredulous, especially the military members responsible for collecting the corpses, who hurriedly went over to take a closer look.
The capable woman took a bottle of special reagent from the vehicle and dripped it onto the black mark.
"Hiss~" The black mark turned blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye, while releasing a pungent smell.
"It really is the Black Vatican!" Several military personnel exchanged glances, a sense of lingering fear washing over them. They had never imagined that the valiant and fearless instructor Bai Yang on the battlefield was a member of the Black Vatican; this was an unacceptable outcome for everyone present.
In the ensuing silence, the group finished dealing with Instructor Bai Yang's body. The short-haired woman said to the demon-hunting team, "This one-eyed demon wolf's corpse is quite valuable; consider it compensation. The promised bounty will arrive in your account shortly!"
The green military vehicle sped away. They were in a hurry. Their colleague, with whom they had worked day and night, had been having an affair with the Black Vatican. They had to report this to their superiors as soon as possible, because there might be other such parasites in the ranks!
"Is Instructor Baiyang really from the Black Vatican?" Xiao Ke timidly broke the eerie silence among them.
"This is a problem for the military; our city's monster-hunting team can't get involved!" Xu Dahuang shook his head helplessly, feeling a sense of melancholy.
