There was a click, a sound like breaking glass, and the barrier shattered.
As the light flashed, Artoria and Gudazi appeared in the dungeon together.
"Out?"
The two girls looked at each other for a while before finally confirming the current situation.
"Leave quickly."
Okita Souji stopped a few people who seemed to want to talk.
She kicked Beryl Pig in front of her like a football and headed out of the dungeon.
Seeing that her expression was quite urgent, several people couldn't help but trembled in their hearts and quickly followed her.
Beryl the pig let out a howl.
"Miss Okita, are you the only one here?"
In the passage to the surface, Gudazi took two steps forward and asked her.
"No, everyone and I are here, but I found this place first."
Okita Souji moved quickly in the passage.
"What about the extended family?"
"Up there."
She paused, then looked slightly downcast.
"But you have to be prepared."
Prepare?
Several people were a little confused.
What preparations need to be made?
But there’s no need to ask her.
Under the leadership of the General Secretary, several people quickly reached the upper level of the dungeon.
As soon as they arrived here, the expressions of the three people became extremely ugly.
"Ahhh——!"
"Oh woo!"
"Err?!"
Morse's figure is everywhere in the underground space that is not considered wide.
Some screamed, some hit the wall, and some burst into tears.
Each one was in human form, including men, women, and children. Each one was suffering from the severe pain caused by the Morse poison. The sight of the demons dancing around seemed to make everyone miserable!
"These are all hostages captured from the Earl's mansion. Most of them are fine and have been taken away. However, these people who have been infected with Morse's poison cannot be easily brought to the ground."
Okita Souji explained.
Little Da Vinci, Muramasa, Tristan and others are struggling at the moment, trying to control everyone, but more than a hundred people have been poisoned, which is too many. With the power of just a few people, it is really a drop in the bucket.
More importantly, they don't know what to do with this group of people!
They have no research on the Morse toxin and are unable to remove the toxin at all. If they are brought to the surface, they may start a large-scale Morse epidemic sweeping the Fairy Kingdom. The dilemma makes it almost impossible for them to start.
"Where's Gareth?"
Arturia suddenly spoke up.
Among the crowd, she saw no sign of Gareth!
With Gareth's character of getting along well with the refugees, it would be impossible not to be present at this time!
Okita Souji said nothing.
She pointed to the corner of the dungeon.
Arturia rushed over like a wind.
But what she saw in the corner.
But only one bell.
"Feel sorry."
A man sat next to the clock.
His face was pale, and his whole body was covered with dark Morse curses. He looked as weak as a seriously ill and dying patient in the intensive care unit.
Even so, he apologized to Artoria backwards with a guilty look on his face.
"After being sucked into the barrier, Gareth and I were separated. By the time I found her, it was already like this."
Artoria can understand.
Because after being sucked into the barrier, there was a thick barrier between her and Gudazi. She relied on her understanding of Ting to barely interfere with Gudazi.
Pepe and Gareth were definitely separated after being sucked into the barrier, and unfortunately, the two weren't even locked together.
By the time Pepe broke out of the barrier, it was already too late.
"...How did you die?"
Arturia lowered her head.
"His body is covered with Morse poison."
Pepe held on to her weak body and spoke with admiration but also pity.
"There are about 500 refugees captured in total, but there are only more than 100 here, and the remaining 300 or so have left without incident... It's not like they haven't been poisoned by Morse."
That's right.
While 500 refugees were imprisoned in the barrier, its holder had already poured a large amount of Morse poison into it. Now, a few hours later, it was enough to infect everyone!
As a result, the number of infected people still here is only over a hundred.
That is to say.
"Did Gareth absorb everyone's poison into himself?"
Arturia guessed the truth.
The hand holding her wand was veined.
"That's right."
Pepe's answer confirmed her guess.
This is indeed the correct answer.
However, Pepe also hid part of it.
Gareth is just a lower level elf.
Although he is the reincarnation of Ainsel, the leader of the Mirror Clan, he has not completely inherited the power of the previous generation, and it is impossible to withstand so much poison.
In fact, Gareth only endured a hundred doses of Morse poison before he died.
The remaining two hundred people were absorbed by Peipei.
"But now is not the time to talk about such things. Let Gareth personally bear more admiration. This is also my apology for not being able to save you..."
"asshole!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Bastard bastard bastard!"
The wand struck Beryl Pig's body again and again.
Arturia's eyes were bloodshot, she held the wand in both hands, and whipped the white pig skin mercilessly, causing Beryl Pig to let out a series of pitiful snorts.
"I'm coming too!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka also rushed forward with a face full of resentment and kicked it in the abdomen with all his strength.
"In addition to other people's share..."
Pepe was weak, but her face was full of hatred.
"S-Senior, it feels like Beryl is about to be beaten to death by you?!"
"Purification recovery! Fight again!"
"Asshole! Die! Scumbag!"
"You actually beat me after being cured?!"
the other side.
Okita Souji came to the people infected by Morse poison.
"There is no way, even though I didn't intend to expose it..."
But now is not the time to hide it.
She knelt down and put her hands on a child.
Violet-like magical light overflowed from her palms.
Under the astonished gazes of Little Da Vinci and others, the child's wails quickly weakened, and the dark toxins on his body gradually melted away like the white snow in early spring.
"Okay, okay...thank you sister!"
"Leave quickly."
Okita Souji drove the child away and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems like there’s no problem!
That being the case!
"Arrived soon! Familiar Beast No. 8, Shaula Viola (Scorpion Tiger's Purple)!"
Blood mist spurted out, and the magic power in the blood summoned the misty giant beast!
It was a huge scorpion-tailed tiger. Its nearly three-story-tall body looked so oppressive that it almost broke the ceiling of the dungeon. Its whole body was wrapped in purple flames, and it looked very mysterious and unpredictable.
The scorpion-tailed tiger squatted there and released a large amount of purple flames from its body, spreading in all directions.
The strange thing is that the purple flame does not seem to have any temperature, and it even feels cool when covering the human body.
Under the continuous burning of the purple flames, the cursed poison on the wailing refugees on the ground quickly dissipated, and in less than half a minute, they completely disappeared.
