The King of Elden does not die alone!

"What happened?" He quickly got up.

"Go and save them!" Altria said anxiously, pointing to the open space in the village that looked like a colosseum.

"Where's Merlin? Where's Merlin?"

"Didn't see it."

Merlin should have still been there before being dragged into the hallucination.

But now it is nowhere to be found.

"I can't control that much."

"Those villagers are all out of control." Kai looked solemnly at the chaotic square.

Why did they do this? It must have something to do with the black cat demon.

Those villagers were innocent people who were caught up in it and lost their ability to judge under the influence of outsiders.

Reason told him that as long as he got close to that place, he would immediately be drawn into a fight like that of wild beasts.

There was only one way to salvage the situation, and Altria and Kai decisively reached a consensus.

The girl said, unhooking the sword from her waist: "Brother Kai, remember to fight with the scabbard."

"Don't hold back too much."

Those villagers must be stopped.

Altria held the sword with both hands and wrapped the leather bag on the scabbard around the cross guard of the sword.

She raised her head, and through the air distorted by the scorching heat, she saw the shadow on top of the church.

The high temperature burned my back and a few drops of sweat dripped from my forehead.

The two rushed towards the crowd side by side.

A man and a woman were rolling together, fighting each other with their fists, when Artoria rushed into the square and struck the man in the back of the neck with her sheathed sword.

Of course he rolled his eyes and fainted.

As for the woman who was previously suppressed by him, she should be classified as a victim.

Altria did not hold back either.

'This is for her own good'

If you worry too much about how she might feel in the moment, you might end up doing more harm than good.

As she thought of this, the back of the high-heeled boot wrapped with a metal deck hit the woman's head hard.

collapse--

In this way, although they would suffer a little, they would definitely be able to save their lives.

They won’t be turning on each other for ridiculous reasons anymore until Cathy Paluge is dealt with.

Then, there are still many people who need to calm down.

Swinging a scabbarded sword, Artoria rushed into the 'Arena'.

"You did a great job,"

That disembodied voice still echoed in her ears.

Bang! Altria knocked out another villager.

"No one can stop you. All of them will be destroyed. In the end, you will become the strongest. No one will be greater than you."

"Brother Kai!" Artoria shouted.

"Did you hear it too?" Kai's shield hit a young man in the face, and the latter fell down.

Well, my nose is in trouble.

"There!" Altria saw the black cat crouching on the top of the church.

'Go ahead!'

The two looked at each other.

As long as we can get rid of that monster.

It's called 'Cathy Parug', right?

Things will definitely turn around.

"I am not your enemy, I will help you," the beast's voice argued cunningly.

"I will help you see the essence of your heart, and I will help you stand at the top of this world."

Although he said this, what he would do would surely make her fall into the same frenzy as the villagers, right?

Because of comparison, jealousy arises, and because of jealousy, people want to destroy. Countless people fight each other with such absurd ideas, and then only the last person is left, the one who wins among all the comparisons.

However, even the illusion could not confuse her.

What's more, it's just a whisper in the ear?

The knight's steps were extremely firm, and he charged left and right in the arena.

"How disappointing," the beast's voice sighed, "You are stronger than others. You have the qualifications to be compared."

The voice just fell.

A villager suddenly let go of his opponent and rushed towards Altria.

The sword hit him on the head and the villager fell down immediately.

Then the second and third ones, as if they had received some kind of order, let go of their original opponents and rushed towards the villagers who were surrounding Altria and Kai.

"They are surrounding us!" Kai warned loudly.

No matter how the villagers had once killed each other, at this moment they turned their targets to the two incompatible people.

The villager who had stabbed the dagger into his relative's body pulled out the bloody dagger and rushed towards the two men.

The villagers, who still had fatal wounds on their bodies, had to crawl towards Altria and Kai even if they had to lie on the ground.

The villagers, armed with sticks, pitchforks, and kitchen knives and covered in blood, had no normal human intelligence in their eyes and attacked the two men without hesitation.

The villagers shouted irrationally: "Kill you!"

"Taller than me..."

"You are not allowed to be prettier than me!"

"Why are you wearing such beautiful armor!"

They rushed to swing their weapons at the two men.

"What is the meaning of your fight?" Cathy Palug tilted her head and looked at the knights who were moving forward against the crowd below.

"You can obey me. I am not as evil as you think, and you are not as pure as you think."

"Feeding on human competition and growth, jealousy and regret, what you see is just one of mine."

"Everything you fight for is just something floating on the surface. In the final analysis, you want to become stronger, want to compete, and want to defeat your opponent. That's enough. Accept the logic of comparison."

Altria gritted her teeth. The whispers in her ears were like a disgusting spider web, constantly trying to seduce her.

Another illusion appeared before her eyes. In this world that had turned into hell and was shrouded in the black smoke of jealousy, she would stand as a queen who could not be compared to anyone else and dominated everything in the world.

If she accepts the logic of comparison, then this will be the real future.

She will be the only one in heaven and on earth, the supreme being of this planet.

but,

"I refuse!!!" Altria shouted, and swung her sword again, shattering the illusion.

She had only one wish from beginning to end and was never confused.

She and Kai, the two of them cooperated with each other like comrades-in-arms for many years, passing each other from time to time, knocking down all the villagers who rushed towards them, and constantly pushing the small open space in the crowd towards the church.

After all, they are just people from one village. Even if they are controlled by the power of the beast, they are still just a group of villagers.

The young beast does not yet have the ability to turn a group of villagers into strong ones.

Standing high up in the church, Cathy Palug looked out at the city across the strait.

The light of torches streamed along the city coast.

It seems that the guards in Bangor have discovered the fire in the village and are gathering guards.

There are many more people in that city than in a village.

What it represents, naturally, is more power and better quality food.

Cathy Paluge stood up from the top of the church.

It just made some movements, and there was a flash of blue light, and a meteor rose from the street below.

It suddenly pierced through the church's bell tower.

The black cat demon let out a shrill scream after being frightened, and as the bell tower collapsed, Cathy Palug also jumped down from it.

On the execution platform in the center of the square, Mia's figure suddenly appeared accompanied by starlight.

Then, a huge magic circle appeared under Mia's feet. In just a few breaths, it rotated and expanded, covering half of the square.

"Calm down!"

The magical power that brings peace of mind rises from the magic circle like a gentle breeze.

Mia frowned.

She wasn't sure if this trick would work.

But I did it anyway.

In the blue magic dust, the screams of people disappeared.

Cathy Palug jumped down from the top of the collapsing church and leaped into the flames. Mia released two pyroxene meteors at that place, but they were both avoided because of the distance and the small target.

Whoosh—bang.

Artoria knocked down another villager.

Then, no new attacks followed.

She was also within the range of the magic circle, and she noticed it keenly at the moment of change.

The villagers' expressions were no longer the madness just now. They stared blankly at Altria and Kai in front of them.

Then they looked at each other.

Afterwards, a loud scream was heard from the crowd.

"Go stop Cathy Palug!"

Merlin's voice suddenly rang in Altria's ears.

It was exactly the same as Cathy Paluge's whispers before, but it was Merlin who was speaking now, that was absolutely certain.

"Merlin! Where are you?!"

Altria yelled.

"North, drive Cathy Palug to the north, and never let it get close to Bangor City!"

Merlin's voice rang not only in Altria's ears, but also in Mia and Kai's.

"You have to disperse so that you can drive him to me." Merlin reminded, but he could only hear the voice but not see the person.

If the purpose is to drive Cathy Palug in the direction of Merlin.

Then the four people must not be at the same point.

"I saw it. It's northeast of you."

Merlin's clairvoyance should be enough to offset their unfamiliarity with the terrain.

but,

"I have a better idea." Mia clenched the staff in her hand again.

She glanced at the still burning village and extended her staff forward.
