Chapter 292 Bloody Mary

Now that Uriel's eyes were completely healed, he was also able to find both girls hugging each other at a distance. Their eyes were shut close and their faces were covered in blood, their skin was also so pale that Uriel almost thought they were also cryptids but soon he noticed they were dressed in casual clothes instead of the cryptid's white robe.

He also realized killing Mary wasn't possible without consequences.

They looked pitiful, but within Uriel's heart, or what was left of it, there was no place for pity anymore. It wasn't pity or mercy the reason why he couldn't kill her.

Not only were they both innocent humans, he already knew one of the girls. In fact, he'd seen her plenty of times because she was his classmate and also Tina's close friend.

'If I kill her, Tina will hate me even more.' Uriel thought, but struggled to decide if that was a good or a bad thing.

Mary didn't know it was Uriel who came to her rescue and she also had no clue that it was him who bought the abandoned factory from her sister. All she knew now was that her only chance at making it back alive rested on the hands of the hunter that just showed up.

"May I know your name?" Mary broke the silence with a question.

"No." Uriel's response was as cold as his eyes as he looked at the helpless huntress in front of him, then he glanced at his sword as if looking for an answer about what to do on the rusted blade.

The fact that it was rusty was a surprise to him, but then he remembered that the last time he used his sword he was under the effect of Water warlock's blessing and he overcharged it with flux resulting in the the blade almost falling apart on that same spot.

The sword was rendered useless, but he had no time to think of an alternative as the ghostly cryptid appeared right behind him and he mindlessly swung his blade at the cryptid causing it to shatter into a hundred pieces.

If Mary was capable of seeing, even she would have felt pity for the cryptid, but Uriel was incapable of experiencing pity for such a lowly creature.

Eventually, Uriel was growing tired of repeating the same moves over and over. Even if the fight so far hadn't taken so long, while using Dash he experienced reality at a different pace and it seemed like a longer time. But just like Uriel was saving the best for last, so was the cryptid.

The unrecognizable mess that was where the cyrptid's face used to be reformed itself on an instant, but only on the lower side, revealing a wide toothless grin as the blood that had been scattered all over the place began pooling in small drops in the air.

Every single drop of blood was getting pulled into the air, even the dried blood on Mary's and Evelynn's face, even the blood on Uriel's fresh wounds.

By the time Uriel came to realize it, it was too late and he was pierced by several blood spikes all over his body as he performed his last punch.

One terrible scream later and all the blood rained on the smooth black soil. Then, Uriel retreated his pocket knife from Bloody Mary's eye socket and the cryptid fell lifeless.
