A strange situation occurs at his back. Delo was now standing up even though he was heavily injured later. 

His face and body was full of bloody wounds that Ban even wondered why he still wasn't dead yet. 

A devious smile surfaced on Delo's face as he stared with a deformed eyes towards Ban. 

  "Hehe- We won't fail! Our plan won't fail! I'll take you down with me!" 

At the same time, he took a small Storage Pouch the size of a wallet from his pockets and took something there. It was a bloody colored stone the size of a finger. 

Meanwhile, seeing that, Tori immediately moved closer towards him. 

Growl! 

The Barrier Turtle growled softly as he poked the ankle of Delo. The Barrier Turtle, Tori, also bit Delo's pants weakly attempting to drag him away. 

Growl! 

Tori growled again, tears started forming at the corner of his eyes as he stared at his miserable owner and Summoner. His eyes gave off a worried feeling towards the bloody stone he was holding, almost like was pleading Delo not to use it.

Alas, a kick was delivered to Tori, making his small turtle body fly a meter away, "Shut up! Just fight for me one last time- hehe!" Delo said with a grin.

Tori immediately rolled his body to get up. This time, instead of going towards Delo, he instead moved towards Ban. 

Like earlier, he also nudged Ban's ankle while staring at him with pleading eyes, almost like he was requesting for him to stop Delo from what he's going to do.

Ban frowned at that especially at the cruelty Delo was committing towards his own Monster Summon.

Seeing the terrible emotional state the Barrier Turtle was in, Ban decided to go against what he said earlier. Delo could no longer be spared, he needs to be eliminated, or else, the Barrier Turtle would still experience the same thing in the future. 

"Alright!" He agreed to Tori's request. 

The Wrath state still has two more minutes left before it would end. He thought that it would be more than enough to eliminate Delo. 

However, it was at that moment that Delo acted. He stared at the bloody stone in his hands and without any hesitation, he crushed it with his bare hand. The bloody stone also got crushed easily, almost like it was meant to be crushed in the first place. 

As if a madman that hasn't eaten for days, Delo poured the now powdered bloody stone inside his mouth. 

Cough! Cough!

Delo started coughing as the powdered bloody stone covered his throat. He started beating his chest wildy while his eyes started to turn bloodshot. 

  Ban saw the opportunity but just as he was about to run towards him, Delo suddenly started ripping his shirt off. 

At the same time, Ban also realized that Tori beside him was also acting strange just like his owner. 

His neck and head twisted while his four legs were shaking wildly. He kept on growling as tears started to flow like crazy in his eyes. Ban could tell that the turtle was suffering, almost like he was being tortured by something. 

Ban jumped a few steps back to distance himself from Tori. He became wary all of a sudden due to the strange behavior that the two were performing.

While he was retreating, he suddenly heard Belle's desperate voice from far away. 

"Mr. Leon, run, he's a Dark Guild member. Only Dark Guild members can do something like that…" 

Dark Guild?

Ban frowned hearing that name. 

"How?" He asked, clearly confused. 

Didn't the Adventurers Guild test him when he registered? 

"I also don't know, but his mad expression and current appearance clearly points to the fact that he just consumed a Mad Stone…" Belle explained. 

It looks like she already recovered from earlier, seeing that she could now speak and even explain things to him.

Ban doesn't know what the Mad Stone was, but he also saw Delo consuming that powdered bloody stone earlier. 

Delo's appearance was bloody due to the wounds Ban inflicted earlier but there was now a mix of black colored veins popping out of his neck and face. 

His body also has thick black veins protruding from time to time, almost like it was surfacing along with his heartbeat. 

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared hatefully at Ban. There was no longer any reason left behind in those eyes, there was only madness and the intent to kill left.

It looks like he had already lost his mind as he was now madly beating his chest, to the point that he even coughed up a handful of blood due to it.

On the other hand, Tori's situation was also the same. However, unlike Delo, Tori's body had become bigger, almost like it had swelled. He was now over Ban's knee, and was as wide as a basin.

His previous color was also no longer there as it was now replaced by a dark color with slithering veins popping out on his neck and face from time to time. 

Growl!

Tori growled for the last time before he completely lost control of his body. He had now been overtaken by the desire to destroy and kill, just like his owner. 

However, if one observes carefully, they can immediately tell that the Barrier Turtle wasn't liking any of these.

Even though Tori no longer has any thinking of his own, his eyes still keep on pouring out tears like there was no tomorrow. 

A pained expression was still painted clearly on Tori's face, and Ban could tell that he was suffering inside of him. 

Ban gritted his teeth in rage due to that scene. 

However, he did not act rashly and instead waited for the System to reply. 

He no longer has any idea of what kind of Monster Tori has become now. He needs to get a hold of the information regarding this as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the System did not fail him as at the next moment, it immediately presented on the screen the information about Tori's state. 

Without Ban's order, the System immediately injected that knowledge deep inside his brain, allowing him to comprehend it almost instantly.
