007. Evil Spirit Knight and Fairy of the Lake

"It's here!"

Li Aozi crouched and slid, skillfully weaving through obstacles. As he turned around for a fleeting glance backward, he caught sight of a tall man emerging slowly from the shadows, stalking forward as if he were a hound hunched at the waist, his limbs touching the ground, his body wrapped in bandages and tattered armor. A brass chain was tethered around his deformed neck from long-term bondage, and as he crawled forward, he raised his head to reveal six eyeballs crammed into the deep sockets of his eyes.

In the instant their eyes met across the gap, Li Aozi felt like he could hardly breathe, as if the air was thick with frost and piercing cold.

"(In Falysian)... Leave this place."

The deformed knight on all fours slowly approached the spot where the Sword of Maggots had been thrust. Raising his third arm, he picked it up from the ground. Twelve eyeballs were rotating incessantly, seeming to struggle to locate and focus on Li Aozi.
