(ps: I’m taking a day off today, so I’ll just update once. You can try to resume the third update tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.)
Lu Yuanming saw those dark pieces of meat.
The moment he saw it, Lu Yuanming immediately felt nausea, discomfort, anger and other emotions. This made him extremely uncomfortable, and he wanted to completely destroy these three pieces of meat immediately.
This is his enemy, and even more so the enemy of intellectual life!
This is definitely not his illusion, but everything from instinct to reason is screaming like this.
He didn't know where these three pitch-black pieces of meat came from, but the first moment he saw them, he understood the horror of these pieces of meat. It was not about strength, but some kind of essence. Maybe...
(The evil girl may not be my possessed state. No, she is also possessed, but not all of it. It is similar to the sister in the possessed state of the tombstone and the human remains that were pressed under the tombstone. They belong to the possessed state. It is part of the realm, and the entire possessed realm also has the most threatening parts. For example, in the world of tombstones, those tombstones tried to suppress me and turned me into a corpse. And this possessed realm...are these pieces of meat!?)
Lu Yuanming was a little enlightened at this moment, and he looked at the evil woman with complicated eyes.
Just like the sister and the human remains in Tombstone World, they cannot be said to be allies, but they are not actually enemies. And this evil woman may not be his enemy, or the possessed realm itself, but these pieces of meat are definitely against him. The most malicious part!
(So, should I persuade the evil woman to be kind and help her? Let her fight against these pieces of meat? Then this is the real confrontation process in this possessed state? But what should I do now? I can feel these pieces of meat There is huge hostility and malice towards the evil woman. As long as she gets close to these monsters, she will be infected or killed immediately, and then everything is probably over.)
Lu Yuanming looked at all this, feeling anxious but unable to do anything. His energy, cognition, and colorless light particles could not do anything at this time.
But he didn't expect that Grace's body would actually have the same light flashing when he used colorless light particles, and then he saw Grace move.
While Grace was shouting loudly, she actually raised her weapon and shouted loudly for her soldiers to surround the three pieces of meat.
At this time, Grace showed her true nature, fearless, unafraid, and heroic.
As expected of a daughter who was educated as an heir, and her past wisdom had been widely spread, she was so furious that she directly took up arms and participated in the battle.
The lord of the city-state and the high-ranking nobles were at a loss, and then they discovered that Grace was really not targeting them...at least not all of them, but only three of them. These three were also high-ranking nobles, but in this situation At that time, they naturally did not dare to come forward, and even the elites they brought out did not dare to say anything, and they retreated. Only these three high-ranking nobles and the more than 20 elites they brought out drew their weapons and confronted Grace. .
The faces of the three high-ranking nobles were all ashen, but they remained silent. However, someone in the elite team they led shouted loudly, accusing Grace of ruining this sacred occasion, saying that Grace was of low blood. He could no longer gain God's attention and favor, and even shouted loudly to the surrounding high-ranking nobles and city-state lords to seek justice.
Grace was furious.
God is the bottom line in her mind.
She was recognized by the gods when she was most desperate, and she felt the great light and kindness from the gods' path. Everything she had was given by the gods. This was an existence that was more important than her life, and she could be desecrated by others. ?
"Kill them! Cut off their heads to sacrifice to my lord!!"
Grace shouted loudly, and the silent soldiers began to step forward, silent, taciturn, raising their guns, stabbing with their right...
The neat and machine-like movements and will of all these people are simply not something that these city-state soldiers can resist. No matter how brave they are, they are like ants in front of this collective power.
Grace also directly used the precious holy power at this time. She jumped up high, and with the help of Nian Qi, she jumped more than ten meters high and tens of meters away, and fell straight to three lumps of meat. The metal ax in her hand The blade has been slashing from top to bottom.
The expressions of the high-ranking nobles and city-state lords who retreated around changed greatly, and immediately someone secretly muttered the words of a fifth-level warrior.
The fifth-level profession is a certain kind of legend in the city-state, and the word "sacred" is usually added before its professional title.
But this is just a legend. At least so far, no fifth-level professionals have been confirmed to exist. Whether they are priests, magicians, puppet masters, warriors, etc., there are no fifth-level existences.
According to legend, fifth-level warriors can fly in the air and can defeat an army alone. Just now, Grace jumped more than ten meters and jumped dozens of meters. This was really the flying they imagined.
Then Grace split a ball of flesh with the blade of an axe, but in the eyes of others, she just split a high-ranking nobleman into two pieces from head to body.
Grace looked at the meat ball in confusion. She didn't quite understand that this thing was obviously terrifying. Her spiritual perception and the anger fed back from the path of the gods all showed how terrifying this thing was. This is the enemy of life, but she destroyed one of them so easily. When she split it open, the holy power ignited it like a flame, and in a moment, the meat ball was burned to ashes. .
This was also the case in the eyes of others. Grace killed a high-ranking noble with an axe, and then flames came out of thin air and burned him up. The remaining two high-ranking nobles each screamed in fear, but this did not It would not bring mercy. Although Grace was confused, from the anger she felt from the gods, her current mental state was in this kind of rage. She showed no mercy at all, and then she still mercilessly killed the two The high nobles (meatballs) killed, set fire to, ordered the soldiers to kill their followers, and burned all their belongings to ashes.
"...Why don't you resist? Is it an illusion?" Grace was puzzled. She even began to wonder if this was some kind of conspiracy, some kind of illusion, to make her break her sacred oath?
No!
Grace immediately cut off this thought, because this idea had slipped into a dangerous situation. This doubt was the seed of doubt, and the priest's doubt about the gods was the beginning of his corruption and destruction.
"This is a conspiracy! These monsters are pretending to be humans and life. Even if I want to kill them, they are still pretending... There must be more of these monsters in this city, no... It may not even be just in this city. inside!!"
Grace thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the colder she felt in her heart. Then after the three meatballs and their followers were eliminated, she slowly calmed down the holy power, and at the same time faced the pale Anke said: "Teacher, these three things are not human beings. We can discuss the specific situation in detail later. Now I need your help!"
Anke shook his head with a pale face and said: "Lord, I can't help you. You saw blood at this sacred moment. I can't eliminate the spread and impact of this matter..."
Grace shook her head and said: "No, now that I have taken action, I have enough psychological preparation, not to mention I have thought clearly, teacher, my success has never had anything to do with the civilized territory. Now that this has happened, This city can no longer be preserved. I will make my own decision next, even if I become an enemy of the city-states in the entire civilized territory in the future. As long as my Lord cares for me, I will have nothing to fear. What I worry about is other people. of……"
When Grace said this, she closed her eyes and condensed all her spiritual sense and holy power into one place. This almost exhausted all her energy. In the end, a dim crystal appeared in her palm. This crystal It's only the size of a little fingernail, and it's ethereal, as if it's about to explode at any moment, but this thing is like an infinitely miniature simplified version of cognition... It's Lu Yuanming's cognition!
Anke took this thing, and Grace gasped and said: "This is my Lord's holy power. The teacher brings half of the soldiers into the city. There is no need to search for the population and property. I want the teacher to kill people... No , kill the monster!"
Anke was silent for a moment and said: "Is it like the three high-ranking nobles you just killed? How should I identify them, if they really exist."
"As long as you see it." Grace said seriously: "Teacher, all you need to do is see it. When you see it, you will understand why I want to do it... Please hurry up, teacher, I suspect these monsters have Huge conspiracy. Of course, if no conspiracy is found in this city, that is the most terrifying thing. No matter what, teacher, please set out immediately to clean up these monsters in this city. I will lead the remaining personnel Block the city gate and don’t let any monster escape!”
In this world full of fog, even the land of light is often invaded by monsters in the fog. Therefore, for the sake of defense and safety, generally there is only one entrance and exit for both villages and cities, unless it is a huge city. There will only be two or three entrances and exits, so as long as Grace leads the people to block the door, no one will be able to escape.
Anke could only accept the order. He also wanted to see clearly whether there was really a monster, so under Grace's order, he took half of the soldiers into the city. At the same time, Grace began to fight with the city-state. The Lord talked to the high-ranking nobles and explained the reasons sincerely, and she also swore an oath in the name of the gods. Although this could not completely eliminate the fear and doubts of these nobles, at least they understood that Grace did not intend to kill them all. Kill absolutely.
Grace and the high-ranking nobles were waiting at the gate of the city. Naturally, servants brought chairs, tableware, tea, barbecue, spices, etc. Grace was the highest-ranking noble. Although she was on the battlefield at this time, , but there is no lack of etiquette, but she holds an ax blade in one hand and a teacup in the other, which makes these high-ranking nobles fear and admire at the same time.
A few hours later, Anko walked out of the city gate with soldiers with blood on their weapons and even blood on their bodies, while thick smoke was already rising from some places in the city.
The crystals in Anke's hand have been exhausted, leaving only a little shadow. He said to Grace with an ugly face: "Lord, I think I understand why you did this. Indeed, those things are the core of life." Enemy, I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s an ancient nightmare from the past, maybe it’s the ultimate terror that’s never appeared in the fog, or maybe it’s a heretic alien coming from a remote and unknown place... But it’s definitely the biggest and most terrifying thing for us humans. Threats, you did the right thing, no matter what the reason, under any circumstances we must destroy those monsters."
Grace also nodded. She looked at the other nobles beside her with their ears pricked up and said: "Everyone, my lord's holy power is limited, so I can only let the magician see it first. You don't have to believe me as a noble, but You should believe in the magician who insists on the truth, right? Now...please go back to your homes, gather your servants and subjects, and bring your belongings and weapons. We are leaving this city, abandoning it and me. Let’s go back to the God-given land, a land of huge light that you have never seen and never imagined. I will perform a grand and grand sacrifice to the gods there, and let the holy power of the gods purify the possible traces in your bodies. The filth of those monsters..."
The high-ranking nobles all looked slightly melancholy, but looking at the silent and dull God-given army beside Grace, they had no choice but to agree to this proposal, or... order.
After all the high-ranking nobles entered the city gate, Grace said to Anke: "Teacher, when you encountered these monsters, did the monsters resist at all?"
Anke shook his head and said: "...No, when I touch the holy power with my body, I can see their ugly and terrifying side, but when I don't touch it, they disguise themselves as humans, and their performance is the same, They look like humans are powerless when encountering violence, but I can clearly feel the huge power in their twisted and deformed flesh. This is unparalleled terror. Yes, these monsters have a huge conspiracy, and they are covering up this conspiracy. .”
After hearing this, Grace walked around and thought about it. After a moment, she asked: "Teacher, does it mean that the conspiracy is not for this city?"
Anke said with certainty: "Absolutely not. I have patrolled almost all urban areas in this city and found almost all of these monsters. There may be some missing, but there are definitely not many. If it is a conspiracy in this city, then Why hasn't it exploded yet? So..."
"so……"
Grace also murmured, almost in unison with Anke: "The entire civilized territory?"
Both of them were silent, and then goosebumps appeared on their skin.
Only when you really see this monster can you understand how terrifying this monster is. It is a terrifying nightmare that can only appear in the deepest nightmares, but it directly appears in waking reality. When I think of such a monster in the past, Monsters existed around them, but they were unaware of them in the city. Both of them felt a sense of fear.
"Teacher, after leading everyone back to the God-given land, I will offer a grand sacrifice to my Lord and build the Pyramid of God!" Grace said.
Anke hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The Pyramid of God is not a shrine or temple. It is a permanent building that can attract the power of God. It is similar to the magic tower of a third-level magician. It is even one level higher. However, it consumes a lot of money and is very difficult to build. Logically speaking, For example, the main city has not even been built yet, how can it be possible to directly build the Pyramid of God?
But because of the existence of this monster, in order to avoid blending into the crowd, the Pyramid of God is necessary.
"...Teacher, I have a feeling."
Grace was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "We may be enemies of the entire civilized territory."
Anke was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "If there are an extremely large number of those monsters, and they have infiltrated into the upper echelons of the city-state, and they have terrifying conspiracies... then we must be enemies of all life in the entire civilized territory. .”
"If we don't want to become that kind of monster, or become food for that kind of monster..."
