Chapter 597 A Sloppy Stroke

The moonlight shone through the thick fog into the cloister at the center of the altar.

Eighteen nuns stood in the room. Their calves exposed under their black robes were stained with brown stains, and their bare feet were covered with blood and fluids from other people's organs.

"Lord Triss?"

No matter who he is, he is here to cause trouble.

The nuns stood up and looked hostilely at the woman at the door.

"Come in, we're just short of some ingredients."

In response to the invitation, Cha Bai stepped in with a smile.

Chen Shou was refused entry. The appearance of the foggy door prevented him from entering the church. The rustling sound of leaves indicated that an uninvited guest had appeared and was staring at him.

Some strange creatures appeared in the fog, man-eating monsters in the wilderness, pets raised by the nuns, and things like watchdogs.

"be careful."

When Cha Bai left this sentence, the door had already closed.

Chen Shou pulled out the pistol from his waist. Cold sweat oozed out of the back of his neck, which slowly slid down along the fabric of his shirt, but his index finger was firmly stuck on the outer edge of the trigger guard. The moment a rustling sound came from the pile of rotten leaves at the seven o'clock direction, flames were already emitting from the barrel of the revolver!

The sound of gunfire came through the door into the chapel.

At this moment, Cha Bai was pulling out a nun's robe from the encyclopedia. She suddenly felt that since she was going to cause trouble, she had to dress like a troublemaker.

As the old nun watched her change her clothes, she waved to the nuns around her, and they all pulled out hook-like weapons from their skirts.

"Your bodyguard is not here, what are you going to do?"

the older nun asked.

Cha Bai put on the last pair of stockings, stomped her feet, and the disguised [Onga] boots wrapped around her calves and extended to her knees, and the magical girl completed her transformation.

"Okay, the magical girl transformation is over. Aren't you going to ask me why I came here?"

The old nun pointed to her head.

"A princess used for sacrifice, you find the location of the altar yourself and defy fate? Or do you have other plans? Who knows what you are going to do? Who cares what you are going to do? Just remove your brain and extract your memory."

Chen Shou's deeds have spread among the ministers in the palace. The nuns are one of the real hidden masterminds of the country.

"That fat guy with a strange identity is very powerful. Besides him, who else did you bring with you? The army? The descendants of dragons? Demons? Or mercenaries from abroad?"

"just me."

Cha Bai pulled out the hammer from the book and carried it on his shoulder. The weight extended from his shoulders to the soles of his shoes, crushing the bluestone slabs under his feet.

"But you are not strong." The old nun stretched out her hand and said, "Child, no matter what you want to do, come back to the right path. Now follow me. Our ceremony will begin early. You will become one with the demon. Your body will die, but your spirit will live forever."

"No need, I already said I'm here to mess things up."

Cha Bai unlocked the [Magic Suppression].

A huge magical factor impacted every corner of the church, the windows shattered, and the moonlight penetrated the thick fog and covered her.

The nuns then realized that this was what was so powerful.

But it was too late.

"I'll give you a chance to convert to Lord Triss."

Cha Bai slapped his forehead.

"Damn it, I almost forgot what Lord Triss said: Don't give bad guys a chance to turn back from their wrong path."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hammer flew out and smashed a younger nun into a meat pie like a compressed biscuit.

Cha Bai bent his waist, carrying the hammer, and raised his eyes. His blue eyes looked like a devil's gaze under the hanging silver hair.

The indiscriminate killing has begun.

After Chen Shou pushed open the door, the moonlight stained red by blood shone on his face. Cha Bai in front of him had his back to him. The monastery was full of inhuman corpses. The blood splashed on the stone pillars was slowly sliding down the eye sockets of the Virgin Mary statue.

Chen Shou: "...You even changed your clothes."

Cha Bai turned around and said, "It's exciting when a nun hits another nun."

Chen Shou knew very well that this Cha Bai was no longer the 2B he used to be. He still wanted to complain, but the soul of complaining told him that now was not the time.

"Have all the enemies been dealt with?"

Cha Bai dragged the hammer covered with meat residue and broken bones towards the basement.

"No, I released one on purpose. Let's go over and play with her."

The old nun ran to the crypt under the monastery and kicked over the bronze candlesticks as she fell into the crypt. The sound of metal collision echoed countless times on the spiral stone steps.

“Ha…ha…help…help…come and save me…”

The old nun ran like crazy. The sound of a hammer being dragged came from above. The white-haired crazy woman was chasing after her.

Fear caused her to hear auditory hallucinations.

It was as if the nun who caused the trouble was right there.

When she stumbled and broke open the third rusty iron door, her cloudy pupils suddenly contracted.

On both sides of the road, withered arms stretched out from twenty-seven iron cages, holding captured civilians. Heads damaged in experiments were hanging in the gaps between the railings at strange angles.

A pair of empty eyes looked at an old nun who was panting, taking funny steps, and running like a madman in the cave.

Some people still have some memory.

The old nun's once terrifying face in my memory has become so ridiculous.

Applause in the cage.

"Hahaha~ She's scared. She's scared."

"Sister! Where are my nose and baby!"

"Don't run, come in and be my guest, we..."

"Shut up!" The old nun leaned against the stone door, her face twisted with wrinkles due to fear and anger, and shouted, "Shut up!"

The people in the iron cage fell silent.

When silence came, the sound of the hammer appeared in the nun's ears again.

"Don't...you guys talk...you guys should just talk."

But this time no one dared to make a sound.

She had never been so scared as she was now.

The more someone likes to harm other people's lives, the more he cherishes his own life.

Dry fingers grasped the forbidden iron gate deep in the prison.

"May the Rune Master grant me forgiveness..."

The old nun bit her lip, drew the sign of a cross on the palm of her hand with her blood, and used this hand to open the iron gate.

The shrieking sound of the shattered barrier pierced the eardrums, and hidden iron gates in every corner of the cave exploded one after another.

Human-faced spiders, werewolf-like monsters, monsters with arms wrapped with blades, and the experimental demon awakeners who were bound in the depths left the cage.

The old nun quickly ran to the lower stairs, and behind her she heard the sound of muscles tearing and the screams of the imprisoned civilians.

"At least it can stop..."

She smashed the rune decorations carved on the wall, and the road behind her was sealed by a magic circle, completely isolating her.

The nuns are just their disguise; their real identities are witches from the Western Continent, a group of lunatics who assist the Great God of Destiny in conducting human experiments.

Now all the witches have been killed by the nun of "Lord Triss", and only the old nun is left.

At the bottom of the cave, the old nun stood in front of an altar.

"Master of the Great Yin and Yang...Ms. Maria, something's wrong here."

She struck a skull on the altar, transmitting the sound remotely.

"I'm sorry, but we need you to come over here."

The old nun smashed the skull, and the seal of teleportation was released.

Suddenly, the top was smashed and Cha Bai jumped down from the hole above. His weight pressed a hole in the ground and the old nun was shocked and fell to the ground.

"The barrier can only block the road, but if I just smash the ground, I can pass through the barrier, idiot."

Cha Bai walked towards the old nun.

There were gunshots from above as Chen Shou covered her while fighting the released demons.

"That's it."

There was a booklet on the table. Cha Bai picked it up, opened it and took a quick look.

"There is a terrifying demon buried under the altar. It is a very difficult demon to serve. If you want to gain its power, you must make it happy."

"..."

"The Great God of Destiny will look for beautiful boys and girls with magical powers to feed the demons. In order to deceive the demons, they give the sacrifices the title of princess or prince. The first sacrifice is the country's little prince."

She closed the book.

"I see. This place used to be a restricted area of ​​the country, but after you took a fancy to it, it became a place for you to realize your ambitions."

The old nun leaned against the wall, shivering.

"What did that demon master that became the beginning of the destruction of the world's future?"

Cha Bai's words sounded incomprehensible to the old nun.

"We are here to save the world."

Saving the world... a group of people who have gone astray? Cha Bai complained in his heart, but shook his head.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you. Where is your leader?"

The old nun gave a twisted smile and pointed to the altar high in front of her.

"coming……"

The breath of space magic erupted in the secret room.

A magic circle appeared under the smashed skull.

"Everything is about to end. Our master has answered the call. She will solve everything... the great Lord of Yin and Yang!"

The country's first-rank minister in charge of sacrifices, a foreign wizard, the Great Lord of Yin and Yang.

A close confidant of the Great God of Destiny.

He is also the master of this group of witches disguised as nuns.

Cha Bai investigated this person. The soldiers in the palace said that the Lord of Yin and Yang could control the wind and rain, summon souls, and that her body was an illusory thing, like air, and could not be touched. Even demons had to retreat in front of her. She was known as the most mysterious and powerful witch in the country. Her most terrifying record was that she once suppressed a hundred-man army of the "Descendants of the Dragon" alone.

After the summoning circle disappeared, only the headless body of a woman remained.

Cha Bai saw from the old nun's eyes that the headless corpse was indeed the "Great Lord of Yin and Yang" she mentioned.

Old nun: "Dead...how could that happen...how could that happen?" "Guess how she died?" Cha Bai asked.

The nun's face turned pale and she choked on a mouthful of blood, which spilled on the ground. A pentagram magic circle appeared on the ground.

Something is vibrating beneath the ley lines.

[Update of the side quest "Land of Spells"]

[The abyss-level demon has been disturbed, and she is about to come out]

[Mission Difficulty: lv120→lv150]

In the palace.

Li Nuo saw the panel update, but still focused his attention on himself first.

He was holding the head of Dayu Yinyang Lord.

Observe the woman's cheeks, which are bleeding from all seven orifices.

Somewhat surprised.

"So beautiful... like a 3D model."

He noticed the disappearance of the Lord of Yin and Yang, and wondered if it was related to the appearance of the abyss demon.

"Well, where did her body go?"

Fei Meng, the Great God of Destiny standing far away, opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again. He looked at the armored soldiers lying on the ground beside Li Nuo. Dozens of them fell in a pool of blood. The palace's guard system was disintegrated by one person's brute force. One of the main jobs of the Great Lord of Yin and Yang was to give medicine to the lord. When Li Nuo made a fuss, the "great god" mentioned by the old nun took action and then beheaded him.

The virtual body is a miracle for ordinary people, but a living target for demon hunters who can cut off souls.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question?"

Li Nuo looked at Fei Meng.

The latter's throat rolled.

These chopped-up soldiers on the ground are actually demons in disguise.

The demons eat human brains and read human memories, disguise themselves as humans, blend into human society, and engage in poaching.

The palace inside the country has become Femon's territory. The demons cooperate with him and will be fed as long as they are obedient. This is not much different from a captive bear breeder who uses humans as feed. The only difference is that the demons are obedient because there is a powerful guy at the altar who spreads fear.

The above is the information Li Nuo obtained after piecing together the fragments of [Emile's Mask].

Now a large number of regular soldiers were rushing towards the palace. Li Nuo pulled the sword from the demon on the ground, splashing scarlet blood, and then walked towards Feimon.

Fei Meng suddenly asked: "Do you want to cooperate?"

Li Nuo: "..."

Femon opened his arms and said, "Your eyes are also demons. Are they evolved? Or transformed warriors? Ah, either one will do..."

Before he finished his words, the sword was already on Fei Meng's neck.

boom--!
The surrounding environment suddenly shattered into black and white.

Li Nuo cut through the air.

Femon stood outside the barrier and clapped his hands.

Some black souls emerged from the ground, entered the bodies of the dead demons, and controlled them to stand up again.

"I want you to work with me and we can do something big together."

"event?"

"save the world."

Li Nuo nodded: "Ah, how to save it?"

Femon said: "The 'Descendants of Dragons' have invaded this world. We cannot defeat them by legitimate means. We use demons as weapons to create something indestructible."

The lord who was lying behind the table trembled a little, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sacrificed..."

"My Lord, why are you awake again?" Femon said, "The experiment is too slow. We need a country as a venue. The civilians are the experimental subjects. After the demons are put into the country, they will undergo iterative self-evolution over time and adapt to the human lifestyle. This is just one of the solutions."

"Sacrifice is inevitable, my lord."

Fei Meng was not afraid or panicked, he simply stated his point of view.

"If you succeed, you will go down in history and be worshipped by future generations. Even if you fail, it will just be a casual mention in the history books."

The sound of iron hooves outside the palace was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers surrounded the maroon palace gate.

Femon: "This is the final negotiation. If you cooperate, I will ask the lord to evacuate the soldiers. If you don't cooperate, you will have to fight against the country's army..."

Li Nuo: "Always dark."

Femon: “Hmm?”

"I said, this is Changdang." Li Nuo grabbed the black magic factor in the black and white barrier, crushed the factor with his fingertips, and it rose like a firefly.

The power to summon hell or the world of the dead can be seen in every world. The one that Li Nuo has come into contact with the most is Chang Yami in the "Nioh" series.

Therefore, the Holy Light of the Cross shattered the dark barrier, and the demons that had just raised their weapons fell down again because of the disappearance of the possessed souls.

"You said you wanted to save the world?"

Li Nuo took a step forward dragging the witcher's silver sword.

"There should be other ways to eliminate these demons, right?"

Femon is a very expressive guy, and it's not difficult to trick him into telling the truth.

"I once came into contact with an alchemist in the West. He had experimental materials from a small island. I killed him and took away the experiment book that could turn people into monsters..."

Femon had actually said enough, but he decided to let it all out.

"After that, I heard that there was a demon hiding near this country. It was one of the first abyss demons to be created. It contained very interesting power. I cooperated with it and offered sacrifices to it with living people as feed. In order to gain its trust, the first feed was the lord's little prince."

The lord scratched his old face and roared hoarsely.

"It was your greed that determined the outcome, Lord. You hoped to make your child a hero. Without greed, people would not see despair."

He is lying.

The Lord's panel holds the truth.

Memory fragment: [Feimeng’s eyes can control people. I should have killed him outside the palace, then I wouldn’t be controlled... The citizens and children wouldn’t have died.]

"please continue."

Li Nuo rested his sword on the ground and decided to listen to the explanation.

"If it makes sense, I will cooperate with you."

"No, no, no, this is a business deal. All I can say is..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Nuo pierced his body with a sword. The burning fire wrapped around Fei Meng's body, and the burning pain made the great god of destiny roar in agony.

[Feimeng: lv80]

【Strength: 200】

[Reaction: 280]

……

[His hometown was destroyed by the army of "Descendants of the Dragon", and his family and friends died in front of him. Since then, Femon decided to become powerful and even signed a contract with the evil spirits of hell]

……

"Tell me the truth, what is your purpose?"

[Seal of Yaksi] is activated.

Difficulty: 3.

Dice number: 6.

Femon's voice, hoarse from the heat, whispered, "Bring the pain to everyone...bring the despair I've experienced to everyone."

Originally, this guy really wanted to bring pain to the world, but he was not strong enough, so he gave himself an excuse: I actually wanted to save the world.

The "Light Craftsman" of the Creation Mountain is somewhat similar to Femon, but Uncle Henry is kind by nature.

If it is said that Femon's original intention was to make the world suffer.

Judging from the future, he succeeded.

The magic rain spread all over the world, the war ended, and the world was destroyed by the curse brought by the drizzle. The living environment of mankind gradually shrank, countries collapsed one after another, and the story of "Descendants of the Dragon" had no follow-up.

As a result, White City has become a gathering area for players.

The destruction of the world is not just due to Femon alone. There are also players, viruses, and many hidden truths waiting to be discovered.

But if you analyze it, some aspects of the destruction are very trivial.

The world is just so messy.

Feimeng died here in such a sloppy way. The Great Sima who was controlling the lord a few minutes ago was now a charred corpse.

He died while kneeling, facing the lights of thousands of homes outside the palace.

[Side quest completed: Madman of Science]

[Mission Difficulty: lv100 (Because there is "magic suppression" when it is triggered, the actual difficulty is actually lv70)]

[Task Reward: Random Treasure Box*1, Feature Value 3]

Li Nuo didn't rush to take out the treasure chest, but walked towards the lord.

But at this moment, at the edge of the city outside the palace, a huge figure rose into the air.

A giant demon like a fortress broke out from under the altar. A huge shadow covered the entire city, and all the demons in the city began to wake up.

[Emile's Mask] issues a prompt.

It's an abyss-level demon.

……

At the same time, outside the palace.

"What is the main mission..."

"Hmm... defeat the general of the Southern Military District... wait, why did the main storyline change?"

"Intercept the genes of demons and create a rain of curses that destroy the world?"

"The first ring, killing hostile players, comes from the 'Endless Corridor', which is in the palace."

Five players suddenly arrived, their main storyline was strangely modified, and then they looked towards the high maroon walls of the palace and walked over.
