My bloodline is so eager to improve.

It was at this moment that Otto was surprised to find that his body seemed to have undergone tremendous changes.

The prompts flooded his mind like a tidal wave:

You defeated the avatar of the Primordial Pillar of the Abyss, upholding the glory of the Guardians and the Path of Order.

[Through absorbing life force and undergoing the baptism of battle, your level has been elevated.]

[The level of the Fire Seed Iron Guardian has been upgraded to LV3]

While battling the original pillar's clones, you underwent a transformation of your life.

You have absorbed the essence of mithril and tempered your bones.

[Gain Special Skill: Mithril Bone (LV1)]

[Effect: Greatly increases your bone strength, resistance to physical damage, magical affinity, resistance to toxins and curses, purification properties, and stamina.]

Stamina: 4+2

[You purified the evil energy of the original pillar and utilized your specialties.]

Your understanding of the White Skeleton Physique has greatly improved.

[White Skeleton's Physique Level Upgraded to LV3]

The white skeleton's physique resonated with the mithril bones.

[White Skeleton Physique Upgraded to LV4]

[You have mastered the true essence of Black Corner Collision, resulting in a significant improvement.]

[Black Horn Collision upgraded to LV6]

Otto felt a little dazed as he listened to the constant stream of prompts.

He slowly raised his hand, feeling the surging power within his body.

He could clearly feel that his bones had become incredibly hard and his muscles were firmer and more powerful.

After resolving the demon and sacrifice incident, he underwent such a tremendous transformation.

Not only that, the black sheep also evolved into a demon egg, embarking on a chaotic path.

Although we don't know what it will become after it hatches, we are certain that its strength will become even greater.

Otto sighed softly and looked out the window.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was a clear, deep blue.

But he knew that all of this was only temporary.

Hungry Purple has memorized his name. They will meet again soon and need to find out what this guy really is.

The name "Purple of Hunger" was etched deep into his mind like a brand, carrying a chilling aura.

Otto breathed a long sigh of relief as he thought about this, but a slight stinging pain in his chest reminded him that his body was far from fully recovered.

He struggled to sit up in bed, looked around, and could barely make sure that he was lying in a clean and tidy hospital room.

White walls, wooden floors, a glass vase with a few white daisies on the bedside table, sunlight streaming through the window and dappling the floor with warm patches of light.

He didn't know where he was or how long he had been unconscious.

The immediate priority is to figure out the situation as soon as possible and then find your companions.

But just then, as if they heard a noise from inside the room, the door was gently pushed open, and someone hurriedly came in.

Goren was holding a huge sandwich, chewing it with gusto, his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel stuffed with nuts.

There was still a bit of mayonnaise on the corner of his mouth, which looked somewhat comical.

Upon seeing Otto regain consciousness, Goren's eyes lit up. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Oh, you're awake, our exorcist hero."

Otto was still a little confused when he heard this.

He remembered that when he last lost consciousness, he was fighting the demon, and he didn't know what happened after that.

But soon, a faint sound came from behind Goren, and a semi-transparent figure floated out from outside the door.

It was Juliet, the ghost.

"After being liberated, she was supposed to be forcibly taken back to the Raven Cemetery."

Goren pointed to Juliet, who was floating in mid-air, looking somewhat timid.

"But during the process of being pulled back, she kept shouting your location for help."

We had just finished the battle on the outskirts of the forest when we heard her cries, which is why we were able to bring people in time to dig you out of that buried underground space.

You'll have to thank this girl properly later.

Upon hearing Goren's words, Juliet lowered her head shyly, her transparent body trembling slightly.

Her figure appeared much more solid than when she was in the underground space.

However, Otto was puzzled. Shouldn't Juliet be trapped around her own tomb?

How can you stay in your own hospital room?

Juliet simply explained patiently.

"It seems that because I helped you purify that demon and also gained some great power from the abyss, I am about to transform."

It was with the help of these forces that Juliet was able to briefly leave her tomb.

After confirming that Otto was alright, Juliet immediately said that she was going back to continue her transformation.

Perhaps when they meet again, I will be a little different.

After saying goodbye, Juliet fled the ward as if she were escaping.

As Juliet left, a muttering sound came from Goren's feet.

"I really don't understand, how did you, a guard, get involved with the undead?"

At this moment, Maika, like Goren, was also holding a sandwich in his hand, leaning against the door frame and eating it slowly.

His face showed a hint of fatigue that was barely perceptible, but his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's.

Clearly, he has been here looking after Otto for the past few days.

"Your body is recovering, but you still have difficulty moving around."

As Maika spoke, he pushed a wheelchair that looked somewhat simple but was very sturdy from outside.

"I also made one for you. Come on, let's go out for a walk. It's not good to always be lying in bed."

Seeing this, Otto did not refuse.

He moved his body carefully, trying to avoid aggravating his still-healing wound, and asked curiously:

How long have I been lying there?

Upon hearing this, Maika simply shrugged and pushed the wheelchair to the bedside so that Otto could sit down.

Three days.

"Including the time you were buried underground, you suffered for a full six days."

Michael's tone carried a hint of emotion.

"Fortunately, the doctors here are highly skilled, and you seem to have made a breakthrough in the battle. With the improvement of your vitality, you were able to pull your life back from the underworld."

As for Eileen, you don't need to worry. A Grandmaster's vitality is far stronger than you imagine.

She was just overexerted; she woke up a day earlier than you, and now she's perfectly fine.

Michael said this, but made no attempt to push Otto in his wheelchair.

Otto thought they would take him out for a stroll, but who would have thought that this shorty would actually build himself a wheelchair?

Soon, Goren, Otto, and Michael were each sitting in their wheelchairs, eating sandwiches made by Lillian, and slowly gliding down the corridor of the medical area, chatting about recent events.

The scene looked somewhat comical: three large men in wheelchairs walking side by side, each holding a sandwich, drawing the attention of passing nurses and patients.

"After recovering, Eileen has returned to the Adventurers' Guild to handle the aftermath of this incident."

Goren took a big bite of his sandwich and mumbled:

"As for you and that wolf girl, you rested here for three days."

"By the way, are we going to see her?"

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately understood who Michael was referring to.

It's that Moonborn wolf girl.

During those three days of fierce battles with the demons, Otto was able to obtain the Breath of the Azure Moon thanks to the help of the giant wolf Delari. This accelerated his absorption of lunar essence, allowing him to use the Azure Moon Breathing Technique to continuously inject pure lunar energy into his body and strengthen his physique.

Otherwise, with his own strength alone, he would probably have been defeated by that succubus long ago.

Thinking of the last request from the giant wolves of Delauri, Otto felt that he had to go see the wolf girl no matter what.

"Her situation is not very good."

Michael's tone turned serious, and the ease on his face vanished.

"Although she was a grandmaster, she suffered too much torment."

Those shamans didn't treat her as a life at all; they merely used her as a pure sacrifice, locking her in a specially made coffin.

With Michael's explanation, Otto gradually understood the truth.

The reason the shamans disregarded the wolf girl's injuries was because the coffin was cursed with an evil spell that could gradually feed the soul back to the body, allowing the soul to continuously absorb the body and eventually give birth to a powerful wild spirit.

To the shamans, the wolf girl was destined to die anyway, so she didn't need much care. Their only concern was ensuring she wasn't dead before they completed the invocation ritual.

As Michael spoke, Otto felt a surge of uncontrollable anger welling up inside him for some reason.

His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Even the devil was amazed by human imagination. Otto simply couldn't believe that those shamans could commit such inhumane acts.

But Michael was eating a sandwich while pushing his wheelchair, leading his two teammates slowly through the medical area.

He looked at the patients in the courtyard, groaning in pain from various injuries and illnesses, and slowly began to speak:

"Young man, have you ever heard of this legend?"

Michael's words caught Otto's attention, and he turned to look at the experienced old adventurer.

"Legend has it that the thing that kills the most intelligent beings is neither natural disasters nor monsters, but the intelligent beings themselves."

Maika's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a sense of world-weariness.

"In that distant, chaotic era, malice and sin were the dominant themes of the world."

It was at that time that Callum, the god symbolizing law and judgment, was born.

He used iron and blood to enforce order on earthly behavior, so that intelligent beings would no longer appear as wild as beasts.

And so it was for this reason that the god of art and ritual, and the god of knowledge and truth, came into being.

Michael paused, then turned to look at Otto, his eyes deep.

"Of course, these are all just myths."

Although I don't know if this can clear up your doubts, you must understand that humans can give everything, even their lives, for a noble aspiration, and vice versa.

Never deny the existence of goodwill, but always believe in the lurking presence of malice.

This is the truth of this world.

As Maika was speaking, they had already arrived at the special care area deep inside the medical zone.

It was much quieter here than outside, and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

Maika and Goren didn't go inside; they simply stopped their wheelchairs.
