Demonosis is a general term for various adverse symptoms caused by excessive mana in the body.

Mana is a very unstable substance and is easily influenced by spirits. When the human body ingests the magic power, the magic power that enters the human body will undergo various changes under the influence of the spirit, and may even affect the body and spirit in turn. Some of these effects are positive, such as the physical and mental strength of a transcendent warrior who has been tempered by magic and will become extremely resilient; However, if the magic is not channeled properly, it may have negative effects, which will eventually lead to the appearance of "berserk creatures" and the "demonization" that appears in humans.

Since the appearance of the demons, the tide of magic has risen, many animals and plants have mutated due to magic, the number of berserk creatures has skyrocketed, and more and more "demonization" patients have appeared among humans. Ordinary people don't feel much about the fact that the increase in magic power makes it easier to cultivate, but more and more violent creatures and demonization diseases can be seen directly, so the people's evil feelings towards the demons are getting stronger and stronger.

Green was slowly eating his dinner as he eavesdropped on the conversation between the people in the tavern. Of the forty-nine guests, the words and phrases scolding the demons appeared two hundred and twenty-seven times in an hour, an average of 4.6 times per person. Green silently recorded in the little notebook in his mind.

After eating in silence, Green returned to his room, ready to leave early tomorrow morning after a night's rest.

The night in the village is noisy, and every now and then you can hear some barking dogs coming from the window.

Suddenly, Green opened his eyes.

"What the hell is going on outside, why is it so noisy?" Green couldn't help but ask.

Chikage: "A demon has appeared in the village. ”

"Demons?" Green blinked, got up from the bed, and curiously walked to the window and looked out.

Through the window on the second floor of the hotel, Green could vaguely see a large number of villagers and torches gathered in front of a family in the village, but he could not see the situation in the room.

Unlike animals, human beings have rationality, so after ingesting magic power, they will consciously guide those changes caused by magic in a "positive" direction, so even if human beings are replaced with "demonization", at most there will be some mutations, and they will not completely fall into a rage like animals and become a complete monster.

But there are exceptions to everything, if the total amount of mana ingested is too much, and eventually causes a quantitative change, the magic that is not "properly guided" is very likely to affect the mind in turn, causing humans to lose their rationality and become monsters like berserk creatures - that is, "demons"!

Majin are dangerous, not only possessing extraordinary strength, but also possessing some instincts from the previous days, so the danger level is far greater than that of ordinary berserk creatures. However, it stands to reason that "Demons" are not so easy to be born, at least Grimm has never seen Demons before.

Green thought for a moment, picked up the clothes on the bed, and put them on.

"Let's go down and have a look." Green suggested.

"Yes, master."

Chikage followed Green out of the room.

In the tavern on the first floor, a slender tavern worker is dozing off behind the bar.

Noticing Green going downstairs, Xiao Gong quickly opened his eyes and stood up: "Guest, are you going out?" ”

"Something seems to be going on in the village, I'll go and see." Green explained.

"Hmm...... Guests, be careful, I heard that there are demons, and there are already several victims. ”

"Oh~ Don't worry, I'm a little confident in my strength." Green smiled goodbye to the tavern worker, pushed open the tavern door, and walked out.

Soon, Green and Chikage arrived at the place where the crowd had gathered.

At the door of a room in the village, a group of villagers were gathered there with complicated expressions, everyone's face was full of anxiety, and it seemed that a kind of "fear" was spreading among the villagers.

"What's going on here?" Green took the initiative to talk to a villager.

"This is our village's business, and it has nothing to do with you!" The villager held a torch in one hand and a large black and brown hound in the other, and glared at Green, "Go back to your sleep, stranger!" ”

"Oh~ You guys are so noisy, I can't sleep." Green looked down at the hounds at the villagers' feet and smiled at them, "You say yes, little one." ”

The hound, like a cat and mouse, instantly hid behind the villager.

"Oh! Titan, what's wrong with you? Seeing that their hound suddenly became timid, the villagers felt a little embarrassed, "Come out!" ”

"Woo~" The hound let out a mournful howl, but he kept hiding behind and refused to come out. Apparently, as a keen hound, the hound, named Titan, sensed danger from Grimm.

Green glanced up at the crowd in front of him. Green couldn't see what was going on inside the house due to the large number of villagers gathered at the door, but Green could smell the smell of blood in the air.

"Dead?" Green sniffed, "Looks like there's more than one person dead." ”

"Duranda is all dead." Another villager on the side couldn't help but speak, "Who would have thought that little Duranda would suddenly turn into a demon?" ”

"It's really strange, although little Duranda has been replaced with demonization, but the symptoms have obviously been controlled, why did his condition suddenly worsen!" The villagers began to discuss it.

"It's horrible. What a good person, suddenly turned into a monster......"

The villagers were talking about it, and the villager who wanted to drive Green away just now couldn't care about Green.

Green stood on the periphery of the crowd, floating, looking through the heads of the people, observing the situation in the houses.

In the middle of the house, several strong militiamen clung to a humanoid monster about the height of a child. It was a hairless monster with terrifying muscles and hideous, scarlet eyes, gray skin that looked like stone.

At this time, the monster was constantly struggling, but thanks to the efforts of several militiamen, the monster was completely unable to move.

In front of the monster, a nun with a very grand chest was holding the emblem and holding a prayer ceremony: "...... May you be able to rest in the arms of Mother Earth. ”

With the nun's prayers, holy water poured out of the quilt and flowed onto the monster's face, mouth, and body. With a sound of "poof~", smoke rose from the monster and the monster's wail.

"Ah~ah~ah! ~" A hoarse and terrible scream, as if he was being tortured. Several militiamen pressed the monster to prevent it from breaking free.

The nun ignored the monster's struggles and simply slowly poured the holy water in her hand.

The holy water dealt intense damage to the monsters, but had no effect on the militia.

After a while, the monster's struggle slowly slowed down, and a hint of clarity appeared in the originally scarlet pupils.

"Daddy...... Mom...... Woo......" The monster suddenly cried bitterly.

Hearing the monster speak, a complicated look appeared on the faces of the militiamen.

"Children, do not grieve, in the kingdom of the Mother God, you can be reunited here." The nun gently stroked the monster's forehead.

The monster's forehead is a little rough, and after being baptized with holy water, it is even more pitted, and in many places you can even see the bones under the skin. However, the nun did not show any disgust, but put her hand on the monster's forehead with a gentle smile.

"Nun...... Will God forgive me? The monster asked in a hoarse, ugly voice.

"The earth is loving and forgiving. As long as you sincerely repent, Mother will tolerate everything you have with loving hands. ”

"That's right......" A twisted smile appeared on the monster's face, and it slowly closed its eyes.

The nun looked at the monster and was silent for a while: "May you rest in the kingdom of the Lord God." ”

"Nun, are you alright?" The militia captain on the side asked.

"He has cleansed himself of evil and gone to his mother's kingdom." The nun straightened up her priest's robes and stood up, "Send him to church." ”

"Okay."

The militiamen quickly brought a stretcher, carried the body of the monster, left the wooden house, and sent it to the church.

"Nun, this won't happen to other patients, will it?" The militia captain glanced at the room in front of him. There was blood everywhere in the house, and the militia captain's scalp was tingling.

"Send all the sick children to church."

Hearing the nun's words, the strong militia captain's expression froze slightly: "This...... Can it really be? What happens to your safety if they suddenly turn into monsters? ”

The nun held the emblem tightly in her hand: "There, the mother's love will guard them." ”

Hearing the nun's words, the militia captain finally stopped insisting and decisively sent all the remaining sick children to the church.
