Chapter 100: Calamity
As this soft male voice fell, the dense fog that had been like a city wall that had obscured everyone's perception first rolled like boiling water, and then receded like a tide, revealing the scenery that was hidden inside.
The trees and bushes around the circle had already become scattered from the constant firefighting and the explosion just now, and they couldn't see what they were.
The demonic beasts that had been a little hesitant to move forward also slowly retreated as the fog dispersed, and it seemed that as these words fell, the surroundings immediately fell into a strange peace.
It's just that Duke, who was standing next to Lenia, sank in his heart, because he was standing very close to her, so Lenia trembled unnaturally when she heard this voice coming from nowhere, but Duke caught it.
The master who can make the powerful Lenia react instinctively just by hearing the voice without preparation estimates that there can only be another Ultimate Church high-level that exists in Tiger's mouth, one of the ten calamities.
And the appearance of the calamity that was originally trying to suppress Agnes with all his might shows that our unlucky Highness the Holy Maiden should be finished, probably, and now the problem that Duke needs to consider is no longer how to rescue Agnes, but how to retreat with his own people.
It's just that the difference in strength between the enemy and us makes him feel a little desperate after all, and it seems that no matter how hard he tries, he can't completely get out of the palm of the other party's hand.
A fresh breeze blew, and a young man wearing a black robe and a half-silver mask suddenly appeared where Tiger was lying on his back.
Half of his face was still human, and his facial features were quite delicate except for some paleness. The other side of the face is covered by a silver half of the mask engraved with intricate mystical patterns.
At this time, the corners of his exposed half of his mouth were slightly curled, and his eyes were mocking and lifting, looking at Tiger who was lying on the ground like a dead dog coughing up blood.
"Big ...... Adult ......"
Tiger read the cold killing intent in his master's eyes, and he clearly understood that his use value had already disappeared when his master had to appear, and all that awaited him was endless death.
So he didn't care about the wounds on his torso and the internal organs that were still burning his torso like fire, and pulled out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, squeezing his facial features that had been blown up and almost melted away again.
If it weren't for the fact that his hands had been basically blown off, he would have humbly hugged his master's legs and begged for forgiveness, but the most he could do at this time was to desperately suppress the urge to cough up blood and smile at him.
"Oh, my dear Tiger Knight, I am disappointed in your abilities. ”
Instead of paying attention to Tiger's horrible smile, Calamity smiled and uttered the words that plunged Tiger into the abyss of despair, gently placing his right foot on Tiger's scarred chest.
“...... Big...... I...... Please......"
Tiger, who was trampled on, had even more difficulty breathing, and his speech was completely unable to form complete words, and at the moment of his death, he miraculously raised his broken hands and hugged the boots that had sent him to see the god of light.
However, Calamity apparently didn't care whether anything that was useless was alive or dead, and he suddenly stomped the soles of his boots into a hollow depression in Tiger's chest, shook off the hands that held him, and then wiped the blood from the weeds on the ground with some disgust.
Duke, who watched in silence how he dealt with Tiger, frowned, although Tiger was to blame for such a result, but this way of dealing with it was really a little terrifying and unpleasant in terms of visual impact, and it also showed how cruel the person was in the calamity, and it was estimated that if he and the others could not escape, the end would be very miserable.
"Officially, Lord Duke, I am Disaste, and you may call me 'Scourge', and generally I prefer the second title. ”
After wiping the dirt off his boots, Calamity walked gracefully to the open space ten meters away from Duke's position, and introduced himself with a very standard aristocratic etiquette.
Duke, who had been staring at him, pursed his lips and replied, "I'm not going to be happy to know you. ”
"Definitely. Calamity put his hands in his sleeves and said, "I don't think many people want to see us." ”
Duke looked at him with some surprise, but he didn't expect this man to be a little self-aware.
However, after saying these words, Calamity pulled an exaggerated smile, and his originally clear eyes revealed a strange fanatical red light, and he opened his arms and shouted, "That's why I usually send you directly to the endless abyss to listen to the teachings of the great God of Erosion!"
As his words fell, the demonic beast that had originally retreated roared with red eyes again, and formed a black torrent to rush towards Duke and the others.
Bulging mounds of dirt appeared on the ground they ran on, and swollen flesh masses filled with disgusting green pus, multiple eyes and arthropods attacked in this direction.
These new monsters take a sharp breath and turn into balloons that are about to burst, and shoot their spear-like arthropods like javelins with corrosive acid, which will slowly grow after a while.
Fortunately, their accuracy and distance are not excellent, and after confirming that these creatures have long-range attack capabilities and extremely poor defense, some soldiers were specifically selected to snipe these monsters, and they did not suffer much casualties for a while.
Scourge didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't seem to have any intention of running over to fight, but walked back to the body of Tiger who was trampled to death by him with his hands behind his back and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be of some use now." ”
He stretched out his right hand in the wide sleeve, and a strange black aura wrapped around the tip of his index finger, beating rhythmically like a living heart.
Looking at the pulsating black gas, he smiled weirdly, and then simply poked into Tiger's sunken chest like a hard object inserted into tofu.
At the moment when his fingers were submerged, Tiger's body, which was still a little human, immediately expanded as if it was filled with gas, and then slowly wriggled and rolled into a ball of soft flesh that looked to weigh hundreds of pounds, and several tentacles of suckers full of mouthparts flowed out of the bottom of this mass of meat, dancing around in an irregular manner, lifting the surrounding trees and vegetation.
"Very good, another piece that I am happy with. ”
