Chapter 626: Rat Killing

The giant rat only flashed past briefly. Saul still stared at the reappearing black woman.

“It seems you’re not the true master of this world either.”

Third-rank wizards had already entered Old Days Manor and might now be attracted by the commotion overhead, having gone to the manor’s upper levels.

“Then you’re useless.”

After Saul finished speaking, he pretended to leave.

“Wait, you can’t go. You’re my toy.” The woman reached out to grab Saul.

Saul suddenly twisted away, dodging the woman’s hand. He saw the woman’s face had become ferocious, her entire body suddenly growing larger like a giant net covering Saul.

Saul raised his hand to block. A protective shield sparkling with electric light had already enveloped his surroundings.

The dazzling light from the electric protection immediately made the woman cover her eyes and retreat.

Saul turned and pursued, condensing a black blade in his palm and immediately stabbing toward the shrinking woman.

The woman’s eyes hadn’t recovered yet, so she instinctively dodged downward.

However, Saul’s black blade suddenly curved halfway at half a meter from the woman, shooting toward an empty corner.

The black blade also suddenly disappeared mid-air, followed by a piercing scream.

“Squeak—”

“Sure enough, it’s a big rat.” Saul immediately abandoned the local stains and attacked toward the room’s corner according to the scene he had just witnessed.

The will here blurred directions and positions, even preventing Saul from sensing the room’s internal layout, but it couldn’t truly make life disappear.

A handful of fresh blood gushed from the air, then the surrounding scene began changing like fading colors.

Saul immediately felt the gravity on his body change.

He fell halfway, then immediately flew, subsequently turning upside down to see the entire room was identical to the room he had just seen in the flashback.

Except up and down were reversed.

Where Saul had just attacked, a huge rat capable of swallowing three adults rapidly grew larger in his vision and opened its bloody maw toward him.

“Whoosh—”

A black tentacle suddenly shot out from behind Saul, stabbing straight down the rat’s foul throat.

However, just as Little Algae was about to pierce through the rat, five or six arms suddenly extended from the rat’s throat, grabbing Little Algae and forcefully pulling it, seeming to want to tear it apart directly.

The giant rat also violently closed its upper and lower jaws at this moment, wanting to use its sharp teeth to directly cut the black tentacle.

Saul immediately intervened, grasping the giant rat’s upper and lower jaws, forcibly stopping its mouth halfway in the air, unable to close further.

But before Saul could pry open the giant rat’s mouth, several more arms with skin corroded to expose black bones extended from its mouth.

“This rat has used spatial displacement to devour who knows how many wizards, and its mutation degree probably isn’t less than the woman just now.”

Saul quickly looked up and discovered the stain on the ceiling was quiet and still, with no intention of helping the giant rat attack him together.

Black blades condensed again around Saul, sliding toward the arms in the rat’s mouth like broken glass.

“Puchi!”

“Puchi!”

The blades severed two arms and continued forward, cutting all the arms restraining Little Algae.

Little Algae, regaining freedom, didn’t retreat but took advantage of its mobility. Its round head instantly stretched and sharpened.

Silently piercing into the giant rat’s back brain.

“Squeak—”

The giant rat immediately let out sharp screams, the entire rat struggling in pain.

With its screaming, Saul actually discovered the room’s gravity seemed to be changing again.

Sky and ground seemed to swap directions.

If they entered false space again, the giant rat would probably take the opportunity to leave, just waiting for them to die from the pollution here before coming to gnaw their corpses.

This rat could actually survive by eating mutated corpses and had probably become part of Old Days Manor.

“Should I use the mental battlefield?”

Using the consciousness battlefield could quickly resolve the giant rat, but Saul had hidden things in his consciousness and feared that any use would let some existence with very strong consciousness discover his abnormality.

“No!”

Saul gritted his teeth and controlled his impulse to use his trump card. Then, before the entire room’s scene was swallowed by alternate space again, he suddenly projected the soul of his upper body out of his flesh, with only his lower body still connected.

At this moment, the air rippled again, and the originally transforming space stopped once more.

“Oh right, there are three third-ranks outside in total.” The soul-projected Saul showed a delighted smile.

The giant rat seemed to sense Saul’s change, its sharp cries carrying several notes of fear.

Several overlapping black shadows also appeared on the rat’s body surface.

Those shadows looked like suffering humans, struggling outward with effort.

Saul looked at those shadows expressionlessly. His soul body’s half gradually grew over ten tentacles with suckers and sharp teeth, completely enveloping the giant rat.

After a moment, Saul’s soul returned.

His body fell again, stepping on an overturned table.

The spatial changes finally stopped. Moreover, these changes seemed to extend outward from this room.

“Snap!”

Little Algae returned, and the giant rat’s corpse fell to the ground, having become an irregular rat hide.

Little Algae approached Saul and opened its shark-toothed mouth.

A monocle fell out.

“Isn’t this that blue-haired wizard’s monocle? He was actually eaten by the rat?”

Saul didn’t know what had happened to the blue-haired wizard, but hadn’t expected that when he saw him again, only one relic would remain.

Little Algae opened the giant rat’s belly while Saul found a pollution source in its corrupted soul.

Based on his experience treating others during this time, he basically confirmed this pollution source was exactly what the giant rat relied on to devour other wizards’ corpses.

But this pollution source wasn’t the Storm Eye.

Its ability to contain various pollutions was completely different from the Storm Eye characteristics Pei’er had described.

“This rat isn’t the Storm Eye either. So is the Storm Eye still the place where chaotic radiation fluctuations came from earlier?”

Saul felt somewhat strange.

The Storm Eye wasn’t actually on Old Days Manor’s dominant figure. Could Old Days Manor’s mutation actually be unrelated to the Storm Eye?

With the giant rat’s death, space restored, and confusion ended.

The floor full of corpses gnawed with holes suddenly began accelerating decay, making their original identities unidentifiable.

Simultaneously, as if breaking some confinement and barrier.

Explosive sounds of magical collisions suddenly came through the spiral staircase.

Actually not far from Saul’s location.

Before space restoration, he had sensed no other people around at all.

Just as Saul was about to rush out of the room, he looked up and saw the black stain overhead.

It was like black mold growing from years of dampness and water seepage.

Quiet and still, not attracting any attention.

Saul flew up and came beside the stain.

“Are you… still here?”

Though many incomplete corpses lay below, only this stain faintly transmitted mental fluctuations.

Saul suddenly realized that while the giant rat he had killed might have controlled this manor’s spatial changes, the manor owner’s story might not be false.
