Chapter 228: The Hunt Begins

The winter sun casts on it, and it has become dull and weak after penetrating the thick haze.

Such a weak sunlight could not even bring warmth. Even though the sky was already slightly bright, the biting cold air was still floating in the air with the magic dust.

The convoy of the Extreme Fortune Chamber of Commerce passed silently, but the heavy hoarfrost was shattered and disrupted by the horses' hooves along with the flying dust. The already foul air was disturbed, and the wind blew the magic dust and flew in all directions.

As the convoy passed, Elukado appeared silently, leaning against the wall of the street, looking at the Extreme Luck Chamber of Commerce in the distance.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a hideous but beautiful smile at the convoy that disappeared into the dust in the blink of an eye.

As soon as they intruded into Elukado's hunting range, she felt it and ran away from Joseph.

Sure enough. As he approached, the familiar smell made Elukado's heart rise with murderous intent—it was slightly astringent, but sweet and sour like a delicious fruit. The aroma of people.

Specifically, it is a slightly strong mango aroma, a hint of pepper, and a large amount of black manaceae flowers.

Is that...... The scent of believers in false gods.

It was one of Elukado's favorite foods.

Even if you are far away, you can smell it. The sealed carriage in front of the hungry brain-eaters was of no use, and the aroma of fresh brains was enough to pass through the physical barrier and be keenly perceived by them.

Not only will numbers, races, ages, and genders be sniffed by them, but even the information about class and rank will be transmitted into the brains of the braineaters.

-- All of them are priests on the evil side, ranging from 600 to 850. It is mostly male. There are almost no women; full of murderous aura; At least they are all above the Black Iron Rank, and there are ten Silver Ranks. A Gold ......

Just by smelling the breath, Elukado could feel a wave of thirst in his throat.

Is there only one Gold Tier......

- Can be hunted.

Elukado estimated the strength of his recovery. Then a pleasant answer was given.

At this amount, even Elukado is enough for a full meal.

Compared to the wizard's brain, which mutates under the strong bloodline, the priest's brain does not have the crunchy and springy texture, but it is soft and pleasant.

Compared with the brains of ordinary warriors, the brains of the priests have almost no fishy smell, and at the same time, with a slightly sweet and refreshing taste, it is actually a delicacy that the brain-eating demon can't refuse.

Brain-eating demons like professionals whose three attributes of perception, will, and bloodline are excellent enough. And Elukado is the kind of tougher than tough. A brain-eating demon who prefers a soft taste.

- In other words, Elukado prefers to devour the brains of priests and Templars rather than wizards.

And in the White Tower, the rarest thing is the perception of the elderly.

Therefore, although Roland told her to inform him as soon as she saw the vanguard of the gods enter the White Tower, Elukado was visibly hesitant.

[I want to eat]--this thought appeared clearly and unambiguously in Elukado's mind. It simply can't be erased.

Want to eat.

Wants to eat brains.

"I want to ...... I really want ......."

Goo-dong.

Elukado muttered, swallowing hard.

The stomach begins to twitch. The heart rate accelerates to three times the speed. A flush flushed over Elukado's face.

Her reason began to burn.

I want to eat.

Such thoughts could no longer be stopped.

The intense aroma constantly stimulates her brain. The fine, snow-white teeth in Elukado's mouth grew and became hideous, and her nails became sharp, like the color of dried blood staining from her nails.

Her slender fingers became even more slender. Like a sharp nail rake; Her long black hair, which hung down to her waist, began to dance like tentacles, but the whole person still gave the impression of being quiet—like a puppet.

The only change is probably from an ordinary puppet to a murder puppet.

She gulped her saliva, her breathing getting heavier and heavier.

Her growing appetite made her saliva almost overflow from the corners of her mouth.

…… Tell the news or something. It's never too late to go after eating, right?

Anyway, it's only half an hour at most.

If you don't go, you won't be able to catch up.

As his appetite grew, Elukado faltered violently.

――Sure enough, let's go eat first.

As a result, the ever-expanding appetite completely consumed Elukado's reason.

In that moment. The scarlet pupils suddenly lit up like lights, and at the same time expanded several times. Fills almost the entire eye socket.

A pitch-black reticulation emerges from the eye sockets, which have completely turned scarlet. Everything around her became quiet, and the scarlet filled her eyes with the whole world.

A faint path loomed into Elukado's vision.

That was the route the Extreme Luck Chamber of Commerce had taken when it left before.

"I'm hungry......"

Her voice became sharp, with the sound of metal scraping. It was like coming from beneath the abyss.

Her scarlet pupils suddenly diated several times, filling the entire eye socket.

The next moment, the soft skin on her face suddenly shattered, and red cracks like shattered glass drooped from her eye sockets to her chin.

In the crimson cracks, something as thick as blood could be faintly seen.

A scarlet mist rose from Elukado's feet.

Starting with her feet, she melted away little by little, and eventually sank completely into the ground and vanished, leaving only an inconspicuous scarlet notch on the ground.

In just an instant, a pool of scarlet colloids suddenly appeared underneath the last car of the Extreme Luck Chamber of Commerce.

Like a shadow, the scarlet shadow remained tightly attached to the underside of the carriage.

It looks like you're gliding on the ground, but it's actually floating in the air.

Elukado's slender body gradually emerged from the colloid. She clung silently to the bottom of the carriage without making a sound.

"I'm so hungry......

The bloodthirsty predator let out a hoarse growl in his throat.

On top of her snow-white skin, a pitch-black reticulation pattern gradually emerged.

Elukado waited silently, the moment they stopped.

She was patient.

-- That's the patience of the hunter.

On the other hand, a large number of system prompts suddenly appeared in front of Roland's eyes.

[Elukado discovered a large number of clerics and conducted a will test...... The verification failed. 】

[Hungry Elukado is on her way into madness, detecting a baptism chant with divine magic - is it appeased?] 】

…… The plot has finally begun.

Roland exhaled deeply.

It's almost a week earlier than it used to be...... Is it because the ceremonies of the second tower ended earlier than before?

But in any case, there is only one word for the answer on Roland's side-

"No."

Roland didn't raise his head and read softly.

As a result, those two lines of system prompts gradually faded away.

A new, incomparably brief prompt came to Roland's eyes:

[Elukado is crazy]

"That's ......"

Roland, who was immersed in writing letters, seemed to have discovered something, and was suddenly stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing.

He looked up and smiled gently.

Hunting...... Here we go. (To be continued.) )
