"Teacher, Veronica, I'm back,"
Wayne approached with a skull as a head, shyly scratching his bald scalp, looking as if he had successfully completed his mission.
Having no flesh to make a cute face, his fierce skeletal face didn't seem the least bit punchable.
Veronica blinked, staring straight at the Death Knight before her and said, "You fool..."
"Right, this is Twilight Deadlock. That guy was the Dark Goddess's Envoy, and I've already killed him."
"Killed him?"
"But that was a Divine Envoy..."
Hefei and Veronica simultaneously expressed their concern, feeling that Wayne should not have been so reckless. There were better ways to handle things than killing a Divine Envoy, which was tantamount to cutting off all paths of retreat.
"I know you weren't hurt, but he had shown a killing intent. You are the most important people to me, and I won't allow anyone to harm you, not even a goddess!" Wayne said, his eyes shining.
