People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 128 The Old Man in Yellow

"This is a microcosm of that tragedy from back then."

Nicole lowered her voice and explained quickly, "If we can successfully disrupt this sacrifice, we can break this cycle of reincarnation."

"It can even rescue the survivors in real-world towns who are tormented by monsters every night."

As she said this, she grabbed a handful of her messy hair, looking slightly annoyed.

"But here's the problem."

"Every time I break the ritual, a withered old man in a yellow robe appears."

"That old guy is weird. My guns and cannons have no effect on him."

"In the end, I was forced to leave the village and travel back to the town through distant trees on the outskirts."

Nicole looked ahead, her voice filled with a sense of helplessness.

"But when I enter here again, everything is reset. This group of people are forever repeating this sacrificial ritual."

Suren listened quietly, a hint of doubt in her mind.

The rebels in the dungeon were talking about a black-robed man who brought miracles.

How come Nicole is portrayed as an old man in a yellow robe?

Are they subordinates of that man in black robes?

Suren's eyes turned slightly cold. Whoever stood in his way, he would kill them: "Leave it to me."

Nicole's eyes lit up instantly when she heard those words.

She excitedly patted Suren on the shoulder: "That's awesome! I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Suren looked at the dense crowd in the square and asked, "So, how do you disrupt the ritual? By killing all these townspeople?"

"No need for that."

Nicole gave a sly smile.

She reached into her shorts pocket, pulled out a remote control, and waved it in front of Suren.

"Leave this to me! I'm going to blow all these fanatical idiots to smithereens!"

Her tone was laced with madness, clearly indicating that she had been harboring a lot of resentment lately.

"After so many failures, I had already made preparations in advance. I buried a lot of explosives under the square."

Nicole, holding the remote control, looked at Suren: "When the ceremony reaches its most crucial moment, I'll press the button and send them straight to meet God."

"Then it'll all be up to you!"

Suren nodded.

"Thump—thump—"

Just as the two were talking, a drumbeat came from the center of the square.

The townspeople holding torches suddenly stopped chanting and stepped aside to make way for each other.

A middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe slowly walked towards the square.

Only then did Suren get a clear view of the scene in the center of the square.

He had originally thought it would be a bonfire made of piled-up objects, with a little girl tied to it as a sacrifice.

Just like those medieval hunting operations.

But now, there is no altar in the center of the square.

There is only one protruding opening, which looks like a well.

"That person is their new mayor."

Nicole explained in a low voice from the side.

She noticed Suren's confusion and continued, "Isn't it strange? Why was there no offering when the sacrifice was made?"

"That's because they locked the sacrificial offerings in the cave below."

"How should the sacrifice be performed? By fire or by blood?"

Suren looked at her and asked.

"have no idea."

Nicole shook her head. "I always choose to interrupt the sacrifice."

She was certainly interested in what would happen after the sacrifice was successful, but she didn't want to watch them bleed to death.

In the square, the mayor stopped in front of the entrance, raised his arms, and shouted something.

The townspeople around him immediately erupted like flames, shouting at the top of their lungs in response.

Just as the mayor turned around, he asked, "Are you ready?"

Nicole looked at Suren.

"Wait two seconds."

Suren focused his mind and activated the system.

In order to deal with the unpredictable troubles that may follow.

He decisively used the points he had earned from killing Mammon to exchange for the [Sword Saint Style].

In an instant.

All the sword techniques and magical energy circulation patterns in the Sword Saint style were like instincts honed through countless battles, imprinted in his mind.

The points balance has also fallen back to 3,500 points.

He gripped his greatsword and looked at Nicole: "Do it."

"boom!!!"

Nicole decisively pressed the button on the remote control in her hand.

A series of explosions erupted from below the square.

The flames instantly engulfed the crowd in the center of the square, turning the scene into a living hell.

Without hesitation, Suren rushed out from behind the low wall where he was hiding.

Nicole planted the explosives with them pointing upwards, primarily to clear out the townspeople in the square.

Deep inside that well, there were townspeople responsible for carrying out the operation; he had to get there as soon as possible.

As he passed by, Silent Hill began to expand outward from him.

Monsters emerged from the darkness.

These monsters mercilessly slaughtered the townspeople who survived the explosion.

Suren rushed to the well opening and jumped down.

The space underground is much larger than it appears from above.

The surrounding soil has been dug out, and the whole thing looks like a garlic clove.

In the dim light, seven stone tables were arranged in a circle directly below the well opening.

On the stone table lay seven people in a coma.

Two townspeople, covered in blood, raised their knives upon hearing the massive explosion overhead, intending to kill him instantly.

However, before their hands could fall, two sword energies descended from the sky.

"Pfft"

The headless corpse lay limply beside the altar.

After landing, Suren sent all the unconscious children to Silent Hill.

"boom!"

Just then, the air above the wellhead seemed to be instantly sucked out, and a heavy force pressed down.

The moon in the sky was obscured by a dark cloud.

An old man appeared out of nowhere above the square.

As he appeared, the monsters that had been slaughtering the townspeople let out a scream and turned into black mist.

Only Triangle Head, whose body had changed, stuck his large sword into the ground and knelt down, barely managing to withstand the immense pressure.

The old man in yellow robes lowered his head, his face expressionless: "My master said you would come here, Suren—"

The old man's voice was hoarse and harsh.

Suren remained expressionless and leaped out of the pit.

In an instant, purple magic flowed through his body.

His body was covered in dark bio-armor, and his long silver hair danced in the night wind.

High in the sky, the old man in yellow looked at Suren, who had entered his demonic state, and a hint of disdain flashed in his turbid eyes.

"You have no idea what you're stopping."

Suren did not respond.

His legs were slightly bent, and terrifying power erupted from his body.

"boom!"

In his demon form, Suren's physical stats increased dramatically.

Even though he can't fly yet, this pure power alone is enough to make him soar into the sky.

Beneath their feet, the hollowed-out plaza could not withstand the terrifying recoil.

As Suren jumped, a large area of ​​the ground collapsed, turning into a deep crater.

In mid-air, Suren gripped the Thunder Sword tightly with both hands, lightning crackling across its blade as he slashed at the old man in yellow.

The old man did not dodge or evade the fierce sword strike.

"clang!"

He stretched out one hand and forcefully gripped the Thunder Sword.

The power of thunder flashed wildly in the old man's palm. With a jerk of his arm, he pushed Suren several meters away.
