I'm really not a dragon.

After drinking the divine blood, Thorin Silver Shield began to become inhuman. His body grew taller inch by inch, and pale white thorns and barbs grew from his joints.

His voice changed from muffled groans of pain to the panting of a wild beast.

Tall and thin, like a silhouette from a nightmare.

He became a creature whose sole purpose was to kill.

When it appeared, a circle of brutal killing aura spread out.

Just as ice and snow freeze the minds of mortals, under this divine light, one feels no other emotion besides fear.

This is the most terrible gift that Baal, the god of murder, bestowed upon his offspring: the form of a killer.

Suen bit her tongue, a metallic taste of blood lingering between her lips and teeth.

The pain jolted him awake from his killing spree, and he looked up to see the monster lunging at the banquet guests.

Not all guests drank the blood wine.

Those guests who drank a small amount, or even none at all, of the blood wine became the few people standing in the manor, and they became Thorlin Silver Shield's targets.

Screams of agony rose and fell in an instant.

"What on earth happened? Why? Why did the Duke turn into a monster?!"

Seeing his family members die tragically, Erwin was completely thrown into turmoil.

It was obvious that Thorin Silver Shield had made a deal with the murderer, sacrificing all his relatives to become something more transcendent.

But isn't the god of murder dead?

Could it be that he wants to use the power of a dead god to reshape the order of Baldur's Gate?

"What do we do now? Yes, City Watchers, we have to escape! Ask them for help!"

Erwin turned pale with fright.

Suen shook her head.

The peripheral vision glanced in one direction.

Shaflock, wielding a blood-stained battle axe, was seen participating in the murder.

His face was ashen, like gold leaf, and the divine blood that flowed from his cut-open chest had taken a heavy toll on him. But killing seemed to be slowly restoring his strength!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

There has never been a time when we were closer to the killer than now.

"Erwin, the killer is right there. If we don't catch him, our trip will have been for nothing!"

"?"

Erwin's eyes widened. "Don't you understand the situation? The Duke has already mutated, and you're still thinking of capturing people?"

Moreover, that guy doesn't look like someone who's easy to deal with!

I saw

A magic circle appeared beneath Suen's feet, revealing several pages of instructions and a few items.

He grabbed a bottle of medicine and poured it into his mouth.

The Hill Giant Elixir will grant him an astonishing 19 points of strength for one hour! Worth two Exalted Moral Praises!

He picked up a tube of light gray medicine, stuck it into his neck, and the medicine spread along his skin, forming a blurry, indistinct phantom.

Ghost Step Tattoo, a magical artifact pierced into the skin, allows him to temporarily transform into a ghostly form! Worth a single, high-minded moral commendation!

Then, he picked up a sapphire and put it in his mouth.

The Sapphire of Magic is a magical artifact that stores the spell "Oil Your Feet," and it can be charged! It is worth one Praise of High Morality!

Erwin rubbed his eyes. Where did the thing on the ground come from?

The next second,

It was as if Suen had a rocket launcher attached to his back. He leaped forward, his footsteps leaving afterimages, and instantly rushed in front of Shaflock.

"Savrock!"

A punch aimed straight at Shaflock's face!

boom!

The battle-hardened Chosen of Murder raised his battle axe and easily blocked Suen's fist.

"A weak and feeble blow, child, who are you!"

The stench of blood mixed with a chilling killing intent assaulted Su En.

Suen was a little confused.

Strange, isn't this plot a bit off? How come the momentum from the sprint, combined with the strength of the Mountain Giant, couldn't even shake Saffrok's figure?

"Is it strange? While you were still an infant, the ground beneath my feet was already littered with corpses."

A cold smile crept across Shaflock's lips.

His fist transformed into a black streak of light, striking Su En with the sound of ribs shattering.

Su En instantly realized!

This guy's physical strength is even stronger than that of the hill giant!

Moreover, this was in a state of having lost his divine blood. If he were in his prime, it's unimaginable how strong he would be!

This old guy is going way too far!

Su En endured the pain and forcibly activated the tattoo on his neck. His body began to gradually become ethereal and transparent.

The blood-stained battle axe, accompanied by a foul wind, cleaved toward his head. That weapon was a magical weapon, capable of touching the netherworld!

"Your challenge to the strong is commendable; therefore, your death is understandable!"

A sharp blade hangs over his head!

Suen forcibly entered the state of Mage's Wrath, slapped Shaflock in the chest, and with the powerful thrust of the Mage's Hand, sent him flying backward.

His ethereal body passed through the building like air. Suen bounced twice on the ground before getting up again.

"Child, are you trying to run away?"

Shaflock walked slowly, raised his axe, and struck the guest who was pretending to be dead on the ground. The dead man's blood ran up the axe, giving his face a rosy hue.

"Savrock! I thought all you did was kill women!"

Su En's expression was rather unpleasant.

Shaflock's face showed a hint of surprise, then he shook his head. "Looks like you've got something wrong. I don't kill women! They're too weak!"

?

"Trish, Avril, Moria SilverShield—you didn't kill these people?"

Suen gave the names of the murder victims.

Shaflock looked at him with pity. "Looks like you're mistaken. Too bad, you died of stupidity!"

Who exactly is the murderer?

not far away,

Erwin Silver Shield let out a desperate scream as he looked in terror at the killer approaching her.

Under the influence of her unconscious thoughts, magical phenomena quietly occurred—wherever her fleeing footsteps touched, the earth gradually distorted and was stained with strange colors. Her arm sliced ​​through the air like a blade, cutting a corner of spacetime and revealing colorful cracks.

Between the cracks, one can vaguely see a ruined city, twisted giant trees, and a dim sky.

Suen had seen that place a few days ago; it was called Fairy Wilderness.

Some clues are piecing together: Moria Silver Shield could open the path to the Fairy Wilderness, and perhaps that's why her body was left in that strange land.

With a thought,

Suen realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the Ghost Step tattoo was still in effect and he was still a physical ethereal being, Suen suddenly plunged into the ground and swam towards the direction of Elwin's Silver Shield like a diver.

Shaflock stared coldly at the ground. As a chosen one, he possessed far more advantages than ordinary people. A spell called True Sight granted him the ability to see through illusions.

He lifted his foot and slammed it down.

A wave of air instantly spread out, its powerful force cracking the ground and reaching deep into the soil.

Su En, in his ethereal form, flew out and landed on the ground like a ball, bouncing twice.

Suen felt a cold sweat break out. The position he flew out of seemed a bit wrong. To his left was Erwin Silver Shield, and to his right, the Killer's dim yellow eyes were staring intently at him.

"Sun!" Erwin Silver Shield screamed as the rift behind her gradually swallowed his body.

Su En leaped forward with all his might, and as the rift closed, he slipped inside.

The fragrance of flowers, wild grass, and trees soothed Su En's tense nerves with a strong natural aroma.

He braced himself on his arms and slowly rose to his feet.

At that moment, he realized he had arrived in a world completely different from the real world. The city was like a ruin, filled with exotic flowers and rare plants, and ancient trees, as if nature had taken over this place hundreds of years after humanity's departure.

He walked forward, the moss under his feet making a crunching sound.

"Moria Silver Shield! Where are you?"

The one who brought him in was Jasmine Silver Shield; he can only rely on her to get out.

The two of them entered at the same time, but Su En was not found around the spot where she landed.

They walked for an unknown amount of time.

The ground beneath Suen's feet suddenly began to flow. "Flow" might not be the most accurate word, but the earth changed that rapidly.

The dense ancient forest opened up the road, instantly taking him to the lakeside a thousand miles away.

Erwin Silver Shield's body leaned against an ancient tree by the lake, like a puppet that had lost its master. A sika deer was licking his fingers, trying to wake him up.

Moria Silver Shield's soul floated outside her body, angrily shooing away the fawn.

Her hair transformed into a flowing cloud, and her body into a shimmering nebula.

Even if you can't tell her face, you can still tell that she is a playful and cute girl.

"So you're still alive! Quickly, lead us out of here!"

"I need to find a way back into my body!" Moria Silver Shield's soul tried to enter her body, but it passed right through.

"Besides, I don't know how to get back!"

"?"

Moria's spirit explained, "It seems that I can only open the portal when I am emotionally agitated."

This should be an innate magical ability, but Moria hasn't mastered it.

Suen thought for a moment, "How about we don't think about anything sad?"

"..."

"I tried it, but it didn't work!"

"Does it mean you can only unleash its power during a life-or-death crisis?!"

Moria nodded. "Possibly!"

"My first time traveling through time was when my father planned to sacrifice me to the devil, and I escaped here!"

"etc!"

Suen suddenly realized something: Shaflock hadn't admitted to being the murderer, which could mean he was lying, or it could mean he wasn't lying.

So, who killed Moria?

And who was it that desecrated her corpse?

"Who killed you?"

"It must be that man named Shaflock!"

Moria thought for a moment and said, "The person who killed me was as tall as him and had the same eyes as him."

Could it be that Moria only saw one look?

Seeing Suen's expression, Moria said somewhat displeased, "Don't treat me like an idiot. I certainly didn't assume he was the murderer just because of a look!"

She touched her non-existent chin and spoke as if she were a thinker.

"The first time I traveled here, I couldn't find any food and fainted from hunger. When I woke up, I found myself back at Baldur's Gate!"

"The murderer stood before me, a black dagger at his waist, its hilt inlaid with a blood-red gem! I'd seen Shaflock call this sword the Black Sword!"

Black Sword!

This is a clue! But what if someone else also possesses this black sword?

"No matter what, we need to get out of here first," Suen said tentatively, looking at Moria's soul. "Could it be that the teleportation only activates when you sense danger?"

"What are you going to do!" Moria's silver shield suddenly became alert. "I only have this one body left!"

Suen thought for a moment, shooed away the deer that was licking its fingers, and raised her hand to slap Erwin across the face.

Erwin's face quickly became red and swollen.

"Stop! Stop it!" Moria stomped her feet in anger, but in her soul form, she was powerless to interfere with Suen.

Suen slapped him a few times, and suddenly a ripple of lightning appeared in front of him, and an oval-shaped teleportation portal was gradually taking shape.

"Look, the portal is open! It seems the situation is a little different from what you described?"

"It's really open!"

Moria Silver Shield curiously floated to the portal, only to witness a scene that froze her soul.

A dark, gaunt, and strange figure stood in the portal.

He raised his bright yellow eyes and stared at the two of them, a ferocious smile spreading across his gaping mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Moria Silver Shield, I've found you!"

The next moment, claws tore open the portal, and the ferocious and terrifying killer burrowed into the Fairy Wilderness.

What kind of dung monster is this, actually chasing after me along the portal!

Suen grabbed a stone and threw it at the killer. The stone hit the killer and made a metallic clanging sound, as if it were hitting steel.

He turned around, hoisted Erwin's body onto his back, and ran towards the dense forest.

"Run! Suen! Run!"

Moria was so anxious she was about to cry.

Su En didn't dare look back and ran away as fast as she could.

The agonizing screams from behind were relentlessly pursuing them.

"System! Help!"

[Deep in thought: Given the host's current location in the Fairy Wasteland, with no frost or snow covering the area, it can be determined that the host is within the territory of the Joyful Royal Court. Considering that the host is currently only a weak young dragon, completely unable to fight against divine beings on their own, and that the Joyful Royal Court is neutral towards metal dragons, the fairies cannot be persuaded without sufficient benefits. If the host were within the territory of the Wrathful Royal Court, offering up a future offspring in exchange for the legendary witch's aid could be considered.]

[Answer: Pray! Host, pray to the Dragon God! Pray to Bahamut, Ashadron, Tiamat, Sadewoth... pray to the Universal Dragon God! Cast a wide net to increase your chances of escape. Even if you don't accumulate a single copper coin in the next few hundred years, as long as you live, you'll earn it back sooner or later!]

Holy crap, even the system can't do anything about it!

Suen was truly at her wit's end.

A pungent smell of blood suddenly filled Su En's nostrils, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sharp claw covered in bone spikes and barbs coming toward him.

Su En was so frightened that several dragon names came out of his mouth.

"Bahamut, Asadron, Tiamat—"

boom!

The claws pierced the air, crushing Erwin Silver Shield's head as easily as popping a balloon.

Scalding hot, scarlet blood stained Suen's astonished face.

Perhaps a dragon god is glancing in this direction.

But the miracle did not happen.

Jasmine opened her mouth, looking sadly at Suen. She had completely lost her body, and her ethereal spirit gradually disappeared into the jungle.

The killer let out a sigh of relief, and the hideous bone spikes gradually retracted, transforming him from a monster into an ordinary middle-aged man.

"It's all over! Murder will once again shroud Baldur's Gate!"

He stretched out his hand and pleaded, "Give me his body!"

Thorin Silver Shield took the headless corpse of Erwin Silver Shield from Sun's hands. "She was one of my distant brothers and my niece. She will be buried in the family cemetery, just like the others."

Suen asked, "You...you don't intend to kill me!"

Thorlin shook his head. "There has to be a culprit in the Silver Shield family banquet massacre. The murderer won't be Shaflock, nor will it be me."

Suen reacted instantly, and said incredulously:

"You...aren't you afraid I'll tell others about your scheme!"

"A criminal and a duke—who will people believe? Besides, when I cleanse this city with murder, all the filth will be swept away, and there will be no other voice in this city. Everyone will live with dignity in this rebuilt order!"

"As for you, prison is a good option!"
