Chapter 394: The Pope’s Invitation
The knights were about to pick up the weapon the monster had wielded but Ferdinand stopped them.
"Don’t touch it. It may have a curse or poison on it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The knights stopped at that and simply guarded the weapon instead, so it won’t be recovered by those who sent the monsters.
[My senses are dulled in this body. But I can tell the spikes seem to be laced with poison. It doesn’t seem to be laced with a curse but it’s better to let Alwin check it for sure since some of his limiters are still lifted.]
Ferdinand thought that since they were able tame a monster and train it to receive orders, they may be able to hide curses neatly as well.
Rendell, Valeria’s Grand Knight Commander, the Knight Commander of the Supranational knights, and the leader of the fighters from the Great Temple teamed up and successfully slew the gigantic monster. Riley and temple magicians supported them.
Monsters did not spawn from the monster’s corpse again since those who were summoning them had left. It simply turned to dust and vanished.
Shortly after Alwin returned and grimaced upon learning that Ferdinand himself had to fight a monster.
{My apologies for being late. They quickly left the dungeons when I went there but they had left monsters to open the gates and free the prisoners or kill them. I had to eliminate all the monsters there before returning.} Alwin reported why he did not return immediately even after sensing a stronger monster here.
It became clearer that those who came to Medeus did not come to fight but to recover or eliminate Lindon. Since they released monsters in the dungeon, it was likely the latter.
