Some strange illnesses began to appear in the city of Etan, and many people suddenly collapsed while working, resting, or walking on the road, as if they had lost all their strength, and it felt very difficult to straighten even a finger.

"It feels like your body is being hollowed out!" One of the patients said this to the doctor, his lips trembling as if he had exhausted all his strength when he opened his mouth.

What's even weirder is that every day that passes, these patients begin to age like crazy, and every day seems to be like a year has passed for them.

They have gone from teenagers to young adults, and in just over a month, they have crossed into middle age and entered aging, from their original green faces to crane hair and goosebumps, and the doctors in the city and even the sacrificial magic have no way to deal with this strange disease.

Everyone aged a little bit in pain, and couldn't resist watching themselves turn into a dry corpse, and then die an ugly death, such a horrible situation made the doctors of the hospital frightened, and some rumors began to spread in the city.

Even if all the patients who were found were isolated, new patients were still being created, and panic was born in the city of Etan.

"It's not a disease, it's a curse!" A sturdy and tall old man, with shaved gray hair that was only an inch left, looked particularly sharp, as soon as he walked into the medical building, he saw some ordinary patients, and immediately said affirmatively.

Miles is a retired clergyman, a third-level peak professional, more than one hundred and ninety years old, both physical and mental activity, have begun to decline, there is no chance to advance to the fourth level, even if he forcibly breaks through, the possibility of promotion is very small, Miles returned to his hometown for retirement.

As a last resort, the city's consuls and the Temple of the Sun invited him out, hoping that he, who was well-informed, would be able to resolve the crisis in Etan.

"Curse! How is it possible, the divine art of sacrifice has no effect on it! The captain of the Templar of the Sun Temple on the side said.

Miles raised his head and said, "There are some special curses for souls, which are not so easy to identify by ordinary divine magic, and the high-level curses of necromancers and demon warlocks, even more so!" ”

"This situation is already in the category of extraordinary strength, so it can only be a curse, and there are no more serious patients!"

Miles was in another three-story building in the hospital, and saw the isolated patients, each of them was like a ghost, their eyes were deep-set, their energy was completely emptied, and their bodies seemed to have no fat and muscle, only a piece of skin stuck to the bones, this scene was terrifying, and people were speechless.

Miles held the Holy Charm in his hand, and prayed silently with the Holy Name of the Goddess in his mouth, the Holy Charm glowed, dispelling the gloomy cold aura of dozens of meters around, he opened the eyelids of a patient, and as the magic he cast intensified, everyone saw the flickering green flames from the patient's pupils, as well as the ugly abyss worms.

"Demons! It's a demon! The surrounding physicians retreated one after another, and even the Templars of the Templars felt terrified, the demon from the abyss was the most difficult to deal with, he was more difficult and terrifying than the demon warlock and necromancer, because the appearance of each demon meant that a door to the abyss was opened around them.

"Nope! Not an ordinary demon! ”

Miles held the Holy Ornament aloft and grabbed the patient's head with his other hand, immediately seeing it struggle violently.

"Giggles! Squeak squeak! Drink~"

It made a seeping sound similar to that of an old wooden door when it was closed, which was not at all like the strange sound that a human throat could make, and Miles's strong arms held it down, and he grabbed a strange fiery red bug from his head.

"Bartos Demon Worm, this is Bartos Demon Worm, from the eighty-second layer of the abyss, a monster from the bottom of the abyss!"

"Someone is summoning the Abyss, offering sacrifices to the Abyss Demon Lord Bartos! Attempt to summon the coming of the abyss! ”

At this moment, even Miles's throat was a little deformed, with his nearly two hundred years of life, he had never encountered such a thing, the existence that could open the door to the abyss must be at least a fourth-level demon warlock, and when he encountered a fourth-level demon warlock, he was still a demon warlock who had opened the door of the abyss and sacrificed to the abyss and was about to degenerate.

Even the powerhouses of the Church of the Sun are not very likely to encounter such an incident, this is not something they can handle, and even Miles cannot solve such a crisis.

"Check, in the city, there must be a demon warlock arrangement, you must find the gate of the abyss - the Gate of Taros!"

"There are forty-three demon warlocks above the fourth level on the list of the Knights of Arbitration, and I don't know which one escaped to Etan City."

Miles and the others searched all over Itan City, and finally saw the place of blood sacrifice in an underground ice vault, as well as a half-meter-high black diamond-shaped spar, under the wriggling, the space continued to shatter and condense, and the will of the world was rejecting it from entering this world, but the power from the abyss made it continue to grow.

"It's already so big, no, it's too late, we don't have the strength to close this open door to the abyss!" Miles, after many attempts, they are desperate to find that they have not closed the origin of this door, they are fighting against the power of the abyss, against the demon lord Bartos.

Miles then wanted to send a contact to the outside world to apply for support through the magic telegraph, but found that the only channel for Itan City to contact the outside world had been destroyed, and the next steam train would not return until half a month later, but they didn't know that the train track had been damaged, and even if it was repaired quickly, it would be impossible to reach Itan City in the short term.

They felt a hand that had already manipulated everything, a misty shadow that was looking down on them greedily and viciously, trying to sell all their souls to demons in exchange for a ticket to the abyss.

"We can't sit still like this, we're going to let people go out and apply for help right away!" The Templar captain said angrily.

Miles took a deep breath, and his already old body stood straight all of a sudden: "It's too late, it will take at least a month to come and go, and the gate of the abyss will open in half a month at the latest, and when the time comes...... It's too late for anything! ”

"And, do you think that the men we sent out will live to deliver the letters? It was a fourth-level demonic sorcerer, and he was hiding in the shadows at the moment, secretly watching any of our movements. ”

"We might be able to get out of here and walk out of the Amos Ice Fields with everyone!"

"The cold of the Amos Ice Field, if there is no alchemy boiler to provide heating, everyone will not survive for ten days, with 20,000 people across the Amos Ice Field, except for us professionals, most of us have to die on the way!"

The priest of the temple looked at Miles, "So what should we do?" ”

Miles' eyes flashed with fire, as if he had once again found the passionate passion of his youth: "We find him and fight him to the death!" ”

"The Amos Ice Plain has only a population of 20,000 people, and every outsider who appears will definitely leave traces, and we will definitely be able to find him!"

"At night, we meet in the temple for a war meeting!"

Miles returned to his cabin, and from under the bed, pulled out the holy sword that had accompanied him in battle for one hundred and fifty years, which he relied on all the way to the pinnacle of the third-level profession and became the leader of the Templar Arbitration Knights.

The first generation of Templars, the first to follow the great Lion King Will to found the Holy Sevier Empire, the holy sword left behind by Eevee, even in the Church of the Sun, is enough to be called a holy relic!

Eevee used to be an orc living on the Amos Icefield tribe, and followed the lion king Will to conquer the world from the Northland and establish the Holy Sevier Empire, but in the end, his holy sword was left on the Amos Icefield and was obtained by the young Miles, which led to Miles's wonderful life.
