Elden Clergyman

The problem is that this style of play seems a bit too stable.

It is so steady that it can almost be said to be a one-size-fits-all approach, just for the sake of advancement, without any highlights or fun.

This made Lord very unhappy.

Although Lord was feeling uncomfortable, he was thinking about how to give snacks to Heath after he passed the level.

But at the same time, Chaos on the other side seemed to be in a good mood, and even hummed a little tune after advancing for a while.

To be honest, it sounds pretty good.

Her voice is pleasant and the melody is gentle. Even without any other accompaniment, just her humming alone gives people a feeling of peace and comfort.

"...What's the matter, my dear compatriot?"

Halfway through her humming, Chaos saw Lord turn his head and look at her with a subtle expression.

"Don't you like it? Then I can change the song..."

"No, I think you sing very well."

Looking at Chaos in front of him, Lord paused.

"I just didn't expect you to like this style..."

In Lord's impression, epilepsy should be a crazy thing.

Of the various fire monsters encountered along the way, those that could make sounds were basically either wails or roars.

Even Chaos's prayers, some of which make painful sounds when released.

Coupled with his desperate nature, Lorde had the impression that Chaos was the kind of person who could pollute his mind the moment he opened his mouth. The matching music style was to at least sound eerie and terrifying, if not painful and desperate.

But what can I say about the tune she just hummed...

If Lorde were to find a description, it would probably be that it doesn't fit her personality.

Even, there is a feeling of compassion.

Noticing the expression on Lord's face, Chaos smiled, and then started chatting with him while pushing the map.

"Have you ever heard of 'madness'?"

"...No, what's wrong?"

"Then please allow me to introduce myself to you."

As Chaos spoke, he raised his head, and a fire surged in his eyes, burning through a crystal soldier in the distance.

"So-called madness is a disease that has existed for a long time and can be spread and infected through various means..."

"The yellow flame is a symbol of illness. Whenever it appears, it basically means the person is infected..."

"As for the symptoms of infection, they mainly manifest in the eyes, which are one of the most fragile structures in the body and are also the most suitable location for the accumulation of yellow flames..."

"Eyes swell, rot, and lesions, accompanied by intense pain and the loss of life..."

"And when it accumulates to a certain level, when the yellow flames in the eyeballs accumulate to a point where they can no longer be tolerated, they will burst out, shooting out in all directions and infecting all living things they come into contact with..."

boom--

Crazy fire streaked across the sky, accompanied by painful wails. The crystal soldier covered his eye sockets and let out painful wails.

And after a moment, the flames rushed into his eye sockets. As the yellow flames expanded, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened his hands, allowing the yellow flames to burst out.

After causing harm to everyone around him, especially his teammates, the body that was finally freed fell to the ground and turned into a dried-up corpse.

Then, the story continues.

"There's no cure, and even just exposure and trying to treat it carries a pretty high risk of infection."

"All they could do at the time was to grow a plant called Hierro's Eyeball. It was a dangerous anesthetic that was of no help in treatment, but at least it could relieve the pain..."

"But painkillers have no effect on suppressing the disease. The madness is still spreading. And no matter what measures are taken, even if it is to block the area and not allow anyone to enter or leave, the yellow flames continue to spread outward..."

"Because they overlooked a very small, but very important thing..."

Chaos raised his hand, but instead of uttering any damaging prayers, he summoned a group of souls.

That's a mouse.

A rat with yellow flames in its eye sockets.

After appearing for the second time, it rushed towards the group of soldiers in the distance. Although its combat power was quite low, it was hacked to death with just a few strokes.

But after death, a large amount of yellow flames suddenly erupted from its body, driving all the soldiers into a state of madness.

Then, the story continues.

"That's the rat."

"They only focus on the lives they consider important, but never look down to see the tiny beings crawling on the ground."

"Remember what I told you? Beings high above can ignore the despair of those tiny creatures beneath their feet, but one day, that despair will turn into flames and ignite those high above..."

"The mania has broken out."

What is fire death disease?

Lord complained in his heart, and then resolved a doubt in his mind.

That is, before this, he could basically find some corresponding things in reality for all the essences except Chaos.

The eternal gold, the cycle of corruption and abundance, and even abstract concepts like Elizabeth's can be brought closer to the invisible reality and bloody wounds.

But Chaos was the only one who appeared out of thin air.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she expressed her desire for the world to return to chaos. She said that she was the essence of despair and spread countless insane fire infections. However, few people could clearly explain where she came from and why the essence of a ball of fire was despair.

But if this is a disease, then it all seems to make sense.

After all, in the border area where everyone is a war maniac, it is difficult to create that kind of large-scale despair through fighting alone.

But if it's a large-scale plague, especially a fantasy version of the Black Death, then it can indeed serve as a symbol of despair...

While thinking, Lord suddenly realized a problem.

"But what does this have to do with the song you were humming earlier?"

"Well..."

Chaos smiled slightly and looked up into the distance.

"Fellow countrymen, you should still remember what I told you before, that there is something on the other side of despair..."

"For example, during that great plague, there were still people who held on to their beliefs. Even if they were infected themselves, they tried to use their songs to soothe the pain of others and give them hope to live..."

"The more bitter the pain, the deeper the despair, the more it highlights the beauty of hope..."

Lord nodded.

"and then?"

"And then she died."

Chaos spread his hands.

"She died a very painful death. Not only was she tortured by the illness, but she was later labeled a mad fire witch and publicly executed. Anyone who had heard her sing was also hanged."

I knew it.

Lord shook his head, not at all surprised by the result.

"So what role did you play in this?"

"I didn't do anything. I just set the fire after she died."

After a pause, as if she remembered something, she sighed.

“That fire was really strong…”

While chatting, the two encountered a hostile group.

Moreover, the quality of this wave of enemy groups was relatively high. After defeating them, Lord only had about one-third of his health left.

In order to save blood bottles, Lord planned to rest on the spot and use the amulet given by Ceres to recover blood.

After resting for a while, perhaps because of boredom, or perhaps because of Chaos's humming, Lord suddenly recalled the banshee on the cliff of the ancient ruins.

After reminiscing for a moment, Lord blinked as he listened to Chaos' sweet singing.

"Well, actually, I'm also a little interested in singing..."

"Hmm? Fellow countryman, do you actually have such a hobby?"

Chaos was a little surprised, then stopped singing and prepared to listen to his song.

Then......

boom--

Lord had just sung a few lines when Chaos suddenly covered his eyes, flames burst out of his body, and the blood bar on his head dropped visibly.

That is caused by the manic state induced after the madness bar is full.

"Ah, fellow, your singing is truly...full of lethality."

After thinking for a long time, Carlos could only find this word to describe Lorde's singing.

And this is not an exaggeration.

In fact, if we only talk about singing skills, Lorde's singing level is not bad, it can even be considered good.

But the problem is, when this person starts singing, it easily resonates with something in his body, and then emits something that can cause pain and despair in people's hearts.

Rather than a song, it is more like some kind of indiscriminate killing skill.

But this thing is not completely without positive effects.

After coming back to her senses from her frenzied state, Chaos discovered that perhaps because of the stimulation of the song just now, the frenzy in her body became much more active, and the casting distance and damage increased.

So, after discovering this, Lord and she immediately set off again, pushing forward while the singing buff was still there.

Then, we arrived at the second blessing point.

After activating the blessing, Lord then checked the golden symbols around him. After thinking about it, he chose to summon Melina.

Although Melina and Chaos don't have a very good relationship, the current lineup has both tankiness and output, but it does lack an auxiliary nurse priest.

After searching through all the golden symbols on the ground, it seemed that only Melina met this condition.

Then, accompanied by a burst of golden light, Melina slowly opened her eyes.

But perhaps because she had come into contact with Chaos too many times before, after opening her eyes this time, even though she saw Chaos for the first time, Melina did not show any signs of stress. She even nodded to him and greeted him politely.

After Chaos responded, Melina turned to look at Lord on the side. After a brief exchange of ideas, she joined the team without any resistance.

But after joining, she stood directly between Chaos and Lord. Whenever Chaos wanted to get close to Lord, she would stand in front of him to prevent her from any "defilement" behavior.

Lord had no objection to this. After all, Melina was a nurse. If she stood in the middle and placed a buff, she could cover the two of them to the greatest extent, which was reasonable.

As for Chaos...

"Sister, you don't need it yourself, so why are you stopping me?"

Chaos looked at Melina in confusion.

Hearing this, the latter's body stiffened slightly. He did not answer, but still stubbornly stood between the two of them.

Like a plank of wood.

To be honest, Chaos wasn't really disgusted by her childish behavior; at most, he found it a little funny.

After all, the fact that this piece of wood can make this gesture means that something has changed.

But just as she was thinking this and preparing to stay quiet for a while, she suddenly remembered something, and then she leaned close to Melina's ear with a smile on her face, and whispered softly in Melina's ear in a rather mysterious manner under her vigilant gaze.

"You know what? My compatriot just sang a song for me..."

Melina was stunned.

Does he still do this?

Chaos smiled and whispered seductively.

"According to what he said, he only sang for me..."

——Only in the living existence.
