Chapter 1690: Chapter 1152: Nothing but a Fool Being Used

For all this time, Beryl had been closely watching Matthew.

Before the freezing of humankind, even before the burning of humankind, Beryl was already extremely concerned with "Matthew Kililet."

It was an inexplicable obsession.

This obsession had been growing in Beryl’s heart ever since the first time he saw Matthew.

Therefore, when still in Chaldea, Beryl had once invaded Matthew’s room and broke Matthew’s fingers, just to listen to Matthew’s screams.

He became intensely interested in Matthew, who displayed nothing but an incredulous and incomprehensible expression even when her fingers were broken.

He himself believed this was love.

He deeply loved this girl and wanted to torture her, kill her brutally, listen to her screams, and watch her display various expressions in front of him.

Whenever he thought of that scene, an indescribable excitement welled up within Beryl, making him want to lick his fingers (claws), as if they were already covered in the blood of the woman he loved.

Secreter?

The subordinate of the Alien God?

Such things meant nothing to Beryl.

He didn’t plan to serve loyally to the so-called Alien God, nor did he plan to regard other Secreters as his companions.

He just wanted to happily kill, to murder everyone he deemed necessary to kill.

Those who bored him, he wanted to kill.

Those who excited him, he wanted to kill.

Those he hated, he wanted to kill.

Those he pitied, he also wanted to kill.

It sounded like he was just a homicidal maniac wanting to kill everyone, yet at the same time, he could get along with anyone, chat gregariously like a normal person, drink tea like a gentleman.

In short, his desire to kill or not to kill anyone was entirely based on his mood at the moment.

This was beyond being capricious; it was the possibility of suddenly doing incomprehensible things on a whim.

Just like now, Beryl decided, with his unfathomable thinking, to cooperate with Alberon and stand in opposition to Morgan.

Yet despite standing against Morgan, Beryl did not confront Morgan but instead came to deal with Matthew.

All this told others just how illogical this person was.

Even now, he was only interested in Matthew, with no interest in anyone else.

Hence, he proposed a deal to Reiger.

"Give me Matthew, and I’ll let you go."

This statement was merely expressing the thoughts in his heart, not because he felt he had the upper hand over Reiger and planned to let him off.

Unfortunately...

"Seems like devouring Koyanskaya’s tail made you feel capable of resisting me, huh?"

Reiger didn’t intend to understand Beryl at all; he took his words literally.

"Want to try?"

Reiger held onto Matthew as if declaring this woman his possession, and spoke.

"If you can make me let go of her, I’ll agree."

The implication was clear, telling Beryl he didn’t even have the qualification to let him use both hands.

"————"

Beryl said nothing, but the eyes concealed in the black storm seemed to flood with blood, emitting a bloody glare.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a transparent gleam flashed in Reiger’s eyes, stirring his heart, as a large field of red light instantly appeared around him.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

In the next moment, several claw lights pierced through the black storm, abruptly landing on Reiger, triggering rounds of blasts.

The red light blooming on Reiger formed a repulsion field, deflecting the incoming claw lights one by one.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

But soon after, inexhaustible claw lights swiftly flew through the black storm, as if blanketing the sky, constantly striking Reiger.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Instantly, the rumbling continued unabated, the claw lights constantly attacking Reiger, but all were deflected by the repulsion field surrounding him, none truly landing on him.

"Swish!"

Reiger keenly caught the gap amid the claw assault, swiftly moved away from the spot, evaded the siege, retreating while pondering.

"In this alien space, my [Limitless Sorcery] is notably affected, huh."

Reiger’s [Limitless Sorcery] could influence the alien space, thus directly sending him to the core area; naturally, this alien space could also affect the manipulation of [Limitless Sorcery] over the surrounding space, making Reiger’s invincibility unstable.

"The reversal and counter-operation of sorcery are also running inefficiently, short-term is fine, but over time, both gravitational and repulsive forces will be cancelled by the storm in this alien space."

The repulsion formed by the red light on Reiger began to flicker, proving this point.

"Being in this alien space, using [Limitless Sorcery] to battle against Beryl Gate, requires contending for spatial dominance with him."

That would be too troublesome.

"Let’s do this then."

Reiger continued retreating while beginning to chant.

"[Holy Rite·Aurora]."

In an instant, behind Reiger, streams of aurora began to converge.

"No way!"

Although Beryl had transformed into the juvenile form of a beast for amusement, possessing only one tail, in terms of power he’s weaker than Koyanskaya, yet he had his own advantages.
