Tende betrayed his teammate without hesitation.
Because what Bernie said was true, the focus was not on the recipient, but on the priest inside the clinic.
Capturing the priest was the key, although Tende thought it was a dangerous task.
Even though that priest might be even more formidable than this monster.
But the clues to be captured still needed to be pursued.
The recipient had a characteristic of unknowingly bringing people into nightmares.
If Tende and Bernie were to confront the recipient together, they would both be pulled into the nightmare at the same time.
The monster would naturally be "collaboratively" eliminated, but the priest would definitely escape.
Now, someone needs to stop the recipient, and someone needs to find the suspicious priest.
However, on second thought, Tende had not expected the transformation of the goddess to be so sudden. Originally, they wanted to confirm the other party's problems and subdue them, and then quietly enter the clinic.
Unexpectedly, the words "monster" in the blink of an eye struck a chord with her.
Bernie, who had previously asked others about their transformations, was indeed strong.
The joy that the goddess had when she left the clinic was easily torn apart and replaced by anger.
As the moonlight grew stronger, the monster's eyes became colder and colder.
Then, the recipient let out a low roar towards Bernie and made a praying gesture with the hands that had transformed into beast claws.
In any belief system, there are always gestures related to prayer.
And that gesture often looks exactly like what this monster is doing now—clasping the hands together.
Bernie calmly looked at the towering monster in front of him. He wanted to make a comeback after his previous defeat.
Although it wasn't the same recipient, it was essentially the same type, so he treated it as such.
"Click—" Bernie flicked the cylinder with his finger and took a deep breath.
The recipient leaped high with the moon behind its back.
"Boom!" However, the silver bullet fiercely blasted the horned beast back to the ground.
The hardness of a silver bullet is far less than that of a lead bullet, but it is always an irreplaceable ammunition for The Vigilant.
People imagine silver to be noble and pure, which leads to its mysterious restraining effect on many monsters.
"Roar!" The recipient let out a painful groan and struggled to get up from the ground.
But before it could stand up, a machete was already hanging over its head.
The next second, Bernie began to feel confused.
From the moment his consciousness became chaotic, he knew he was being pulled into a nightmare.
He glanced at his side and saw that Tende had already left, not in the nightmare at all.
Damn, so decisive.

In the narrow room underground the clinic, filled with a sense of holiness, the priest sat with a deformed lamb in his arms, surrounded by a pile of syringes and pen holders.
Both the syringes and pen holders had traces of blood inside.
The "shepherd" in the "priest" derives from the shepherd in the shepherd.
In some beliefs, mortals are considered lambs of the nine gods, and the clergy are the ones guiding the lambs.
In the hearts of believers, whether it's oneself or others, they are nothing more than sheep raised by gods.
Just like people raising sheep on a farm, and according to legend, gods raising humans.
People outside the faith cannot understand this view that belittles oneself so much.
But people within the faith never consider this view to be wrong.
Naturally, this priest does not think there is anything wrong with "mortals being lost lambs".
"That child is truly pitiful. In the end, she fell into the wrong path." The priest muttered to himself.
At first, he didn't know that there was a guest in his clinic, but he knew after hearing the commotion above.
Those who were given the blood would not go berserk for no reason, unless their minds were slightly disturbed.
And the fact that the goddess clergywoman went berserk on the spot just because of a questioning remark showed a deficiency in her mental aspect.
Those who possessed the Itmira blood should have an indomitable spirit.
But it doesn't matter. That child is still innocent, even though she becomes a monster, even though she may kill, she is still innocent and pure.The lamb, which was raised by gods, should be like this.
"Ga-" The lamb in the priest's arms made a strange cry.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" Tende couldn't help but say when he saw the priest holding the deformed lamb.
After saying that, he realized that he shouldn't have startled the snake.
No, he didn't even mean to come in the first place.
It looks dangerous from a distance here.
Thinking of this, Tende couldn't help but sigh deeply and looked up.
But when he looked up, he found that it was not the sky above, just the ceiling, and he was disappointed.
"No, you came at the right time," the priest said with a gentle voice.
Listening to the priest's voice, Tende was momentarily lost in a daze.
It was this short daze that allowed him to be slashed by the priest.
"Ga-" The lamb in the priest's arms managed to break free when he attacked Tende.
The lamb fell on the smooth floor due to its deformed body.
But it didn't stop, instead it struggled and moved in a certain direction.
The priest who noticed this tried to pick up the lamb and subconsciously turned to squat down.
But Tende didn't intend to let the priest off so easily, he pulled out the knife on his body and threw it directly at the priest's arm.
As a result, Tende's side was bleeding, and the priest's arm was bleeding as well.
This move, it's the Seven Injuries Fist.
"Get out!" The injured priest's voice was no longer gentle, but full of anger.
The reason for his extreme anger was not his own injury, but Tende obstructing him from picking up this deformed lamb.
This lamb must not suffer any harm.
It is the lamb of God, the true innocent lamb.
But the priest's overemphasis on this lamb made Tende squint his eyes.
Deformed animals are not uncommon, but even so, this lamb is far too deformed.
One eye, one horn, one leg.
He experimentally fired a shot at the lamb.
As Tende expected, the priest used his own body to shield the bullet for the lamb.
The impure blood scattered in the air and was then incinerated by the inexplicably ignited silver flame in the next second.
The killing power of silver bullets on normal people is far less than that of ordinary lead bullets.
Although silver bullets can kill people, the effect would not be as exaggerated as when it hit the priest just now.
"Silver bullets are effective against many monsters," Tende muttered to himself.
Bernie seems to have encountered a monster too, and it seems that he didn't draw a good lot.
This priest doesn't seem to be a normal person either.
"What have you done? You are hurting Him!" Suddenly, the priest raged.
"You dare to hurt Him?!"
"You blasphemer of God! You will be cursed, you will be doomed forever!" After being hit by a silver bullet, the priest cursed Tende with an extremely resentful tone.
In that instant, his originally normal pupils split into three petals.
This priest's sanity doesn't seem quite right either.
He was easily breached by Tende, so weak.
