The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Doma couldn't help but curse, but his mental power was sealed, leaving him weak and powerless, let alone able to kill anyone.

Ye Xiao completely ignored Doma's angry curses, his nimble figure weaving through the crowd, using the Demon-Sealing Touch to take down one civilian after another.

With a plan in place, he was quite adept at handling this large group of ordinary people.

There is a gap of about five to six seconds between the appearance and detonation of the magical fluctuation, which is enough time for Ye Xiao to accurately sense its location and take it down instantly.

These manipulated individuals do not seem to detonate on their own initiative; it's as if they are restrained by a low-level spiritual instinct within them, and the explosion will only be triggered when they run up and enter the blast radius.

This could be a form of psychological manipulation imposed by the mastermind to facilitate control over this large crowd. After all, detonating it outside the designated area would be pointless and would only destroy the corrupted individuals they were controlling.

But this also allows Ye Xiao to rest assured that there won't be any unseen residents causing an explosion, allowing him to focus only on the people running in front of him.

Even so, the manipulated residents and imperial soldiers continued to pour out of the surrounding houses and streets, their ghostly figures appearing in all directions.

With too many people surrounding him and the pressure mounting, Ye Xiao began to consider whether he should risk exposing his identity by using some more advanced methods.

If he were to use the Miracles's Teleportation ability, he could safely deal with this large group of controlled people.

However, how to explain this to the two Dark Shepherds will be a rather tricky problem.

Just as the crowd surrounding them grew larger and larger, about to engulf the three of them, a deep red magic circle suddenly opened up on the ground beneath their feet.

The group felt their bodies suddenly become lighter, as if the entire area covered by the magic array had lost its gravity at this moment, and even the surrounding rubble would be held up by an invisible hand and lifted into the air.

Chapter 81 Traitor

Gravity spell?

Suddenly lifted into the air, Ye Xiao flipped over to adjust his balance, then turned his gaze to the rooftops across the street, where several figures were bathed in moonlight.

Standing in front were the company players they had encountered earlier: the black-haired girl, Miss Luo, and the red-haired mage, Raymond.

The one casting the gravity spell was a burly man with two silver rings on his wrist, standing next to Miss Luo.

He held out both palms and made a grasping motion towards Ye Xiao and the others. A powerful suction force appeared out of thin air, and Ye Xiao and the two Dark Shepherds were instantly sucked in like leaves falling from the sky.

Because he couldn't muster the strength to land, Doma rolled several times on the rooftop, while Ye Xiao gracefully flipped over, grabbed Deborah's arm, and landed smoothly with her.

"Pah, pah, pah! What the hell is going on now?!"

Doma spat out the dust he had eaten, staggered to his feet, and looked at the newly appeared players.

"Of course, it's to save your lives."

The fireball mage Raymond crossed his arms and spoke first, "After searching for so long, we finally found you. How come there are only three of you left? Where are the other two, Mo Feng?"

"Several of my brothers have been killed by the witch's apostles. As for Miss Mo Feng, she went out to find a means of transportation and has not yet returned."

"It is the priestess Deborah," the young priestess replied.

"It's really troublesome."

Raymond scratched his head and turned to the black-haired girl beside him. "Miss Luo, why don't we just leave? We're on the edge of town anyway, and the desert is just two streets away."

"Do you have any transportation? Imperial soldiers have cavalry. We can't possibly compete with warhorses on foot in the vast desert."

Ye Xiao interjected.

"Huh? I'm just realizing now, who are you?"

Raymond turned his gaze in surprise. "I don't think you're on the rescue target list?"

"I'm Mo Feng's newly recruited underling."

Ye Xiao replied confidently.

"What the hell??..."

"Alright, Raymond,"

Miss Luo interrupted, her voice indifferent and as cold as an icy spring, "Whether we have transportation or not, we must leave as soon as possible. You should all be able to see the strange changes happening in this town."

As she spoke, the restless townspeople downstairs were wriggling their limbs like spiders, climbing up the wall and approaching the roof.

In the distance, firelight flickered in the town center, and Ye Xiao could see some imperial soldiers fighting off the crazed townspeople.

"So what's the deal with these things?"

Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

The Shepherd and the company's people are clearly here. Besides them, could there be something else causing trouble?

"My Lord, it is that witch who is casting a mad curse, and becoming her people is the fate we are destined to face."

Deborah sighed, clutching her chest.

"Seriously, can you stop slandering me?" Ye Xiao glanced at Deborah speechlessly.

"I don't know either, but it has nothing to do with us."

Miss Luo replied coldly, "Our mission is to leave with the rescue target; other matters are not our concern."

"This guy is pretty straightforward," Ye Xiao thought to himself, but said aloud, "Alright, but I need to find Miss Mo Feng first. I can't leave her here."

"You have to find it yourself."

Raymond grumbled irritably, "This isn't a movie shoot! Why all this fuss!"

"Okay, Raymond, you can leave first with your objective."

Miss Luo nodded in agreement.

"I knew it... wait a minute?"

Raymond paused for a moment, then turned around in disbelief, realizing what he was saying. "Miss Luo, you're going to find that idiot too!?"

"Can we stop chatting and just leave already???"

The Dark Shepherd, Doma, finally lost his patience. "If this drags on any longer, we'll be surrounded again!"

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Just then, another light and melodious female voice came from the night.

Everyone turned their gaze and saw a short figure in a gray long coat slowly emerge from the darkness on the roof, which was very close at hand.

The enormous hood and collar concealed the newcomer's face, only revealing a pair of dark golden pupils beneath the brim when he looked up.

"None of you are going anywhere."

Her voice was low, as if she were stating a fact.

"what?"

Upon seeing this uninvited guest, the hot-tempered Raymond immediately showed his displeasure. "And who are you? Do you know who we are?!"

"Holy crap, what a typical noob's comment!" Ye Xiao thought to himself in amazement, looking at Raymond with a sense that this guy probably didn't have long to live.

Sure enough, the short man in the gray robe raised his hand and flicked it, sending a fierce gust of wind howling towards him.

At the same time, Miss Luo's gaze sharpened, and her usually indifferent tone showed a change for the first time.

"Beware!"

She drew her sword, the sharp edge of which swept across the ground, leaving a trail of snow-white silver.

The next moment, a three-meter-high glacier rose up from the knife mark, blocking the strong winds that were hurtling towards everyone.

An invisible airflow blew against the surface of the glacier, instantly slicing through the hard glacier like a sharp blade.

The ice shattered, and the wind pressure emanating from the cracks was enough to knock several players behind Miss Luo to the ground.

Only Ye Xiaoben remained standing, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that everyone else had been blown over, so he quickly lay down on the ground to avoid appearing out of place.

"Ok?"

The short girl in the gray robe glanced around and fixed her gaze on Miss Luo's figure. "You seem a little different."

"who are you?"

Miss Luo's tone was grave, realizing that the strength of her opponent was probably beyond her expectations.

Raymond and the other company players no longer dared to underestimate the unknown visitor. After staggering to their feet, they all prepared for battle as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Ah."

Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of revealing their origins, but simply raised one hand.

The sleeve slipped down, revealing a fair palm. A series of strange incantations emerged from his body, forming a green ribbon that swirled and wrapped around his palm.

A piercing buzz echoed in the night sky, and everyone felt that the sudden gusts of wind around them were drawn together and gathered at the center of the incantation band.

"What kind of magic is this!?"

Raymond exclaimed in surprise. He had seen many large-scale spells, from low-level to high-level, all of which used magic circles as the basis for casting, standardizing the spell runes together.

But there was no magic circle in the palm of the gray-robed dwarf; countless faintly glowing magical runes were just ribbons dancing in mid-air.

However, Ye Xiao, who was well-informed, had some impression of this kind of magic, which made him even more astonished.

String magic is a form of magic that only a few races from extremely ancient times have inherited, and as far as he knows, it seems that only... dragons still use this type of magic in this era.

Chapter 82 Monster Girl

“Raymond, you guys take the target and get out of here first. I can’t hold out for long.”

Sensing the immense pressure contained within the magic, Miss Luo held her knife in one hand and waved for everyone to step back.

"How can this be done!"

Raymond gritted his teeth and summoned several floating fireballs behind him.

"I told you, none of you are leaving."

The gray-robed girl's voice was cold, and the strange magic she had gathered in her hand slammed down with a flick of her fingertips.

"boom"

The concentrated wind pressure struck the ground like an air bullet, unleashing an invisible impact that instantly destroyed the entire building.

Countless wind blades spread out from it, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, attacking in all directions. Their sharpness was so great that they easily cut the surrounding earthen and stone houses into pieces like tofu.

But after the thick smoke and dust dissipated, a deep red magic circle appeared on the destroyed rooftop.

The gray-robed girl seemed to be lifted into the air by an invisible hand. When she looked up, she saw that the company's players were floating in the sky like balloons.

This was naturally the effect of gravity magic. The burly player with the ring on his wrist gritted his teeth, swung his arms in mid-air, and an invisible force pushed the group of them toward the edge of the town.

Seeing this, the gray-robed girl floated up to give chase, but suddenly a flash of light appeared in the dust, and a black-haired girl wielded a knife with both hands and slashed horizontally.

"clang--"

The knife clearly struck the gray-robed girl's fair wrist, yet it made a crisp sound as if it had struck hard metal, even sparking a few flecks.

Miss Luo's eyes widened in horror, while the other person's eyes, hidden under the brim of his hat, flashed with impatience as he kicked Miss Luo in the side.

"Well!"

The black-haired girl's delicate face showed a pained expression as the inhuman force sent her crashing into the ruins below like a cannonball.

"Miss Luo!!"

In the distance, Raymond, who was floating in the air with gravity, saw this scene and his expression changed drastically. He pulled out a spellbook from his waist and began to chant angrily.

Crimson fireballs shot out from behind him one after another, tracing arcs like a barrage of bullets as they hurtled toward the gray-robed girl who was rapidly pursuing him from the air.

But the series of explosions didn't even cause the slightest damage to the opponent; not even the simple robe on his body changed. The opponent, enduring the fireballs, rushed to Raymond's side like an arrow in an instant.

She reached out with one hand in a claw-like motion toward Raymond's face, without using any magic, but the whistling sound of the wind breaking through the air already demonstrated the power of the move.

The two players following Raymond immediately rushed forward and used the magical shields that instantly appeared in their arms to block Raymond's way.

However, the two magical shields that shimmered with light were easily torn apart like paper when they touched the gray-robed girl's fingertips, and the player's arm, which was inlaid with steel arm armor, was also severed from the root.

"Go away."

A hint of ferocity flashed in the dark golden pupils beneath the brim of his hat. After tearing apart two arms with his five fingers, he plunged them into the chest of the player in front of him without hesitation.

A blinding spray of blood bloomed in the air as the gray-robed girl's blood-stained hand passed right through the other person's back.

Seeing his companion's tragic state, another player, whose arm had also been torn off, roared and used his remaining left hand to draw the longsword from his waist and slash at him.

The gray-robed girl, having just been stabbed through the heart, was thrown from the air like a rag doll. Her left hand, as hard as refined steel, immediately grabbed the blade of another player's sword.
