Chapter 234: Demon Village
Arcade learns from the tavern in Tephes that many strange people and sudden deaths are related to the small fishing village called Siti.
Upon entering the village, Akkad noticed an eerie atmosphere. Everyone was extremely wary of him as an outsider, who followed him wherever he went, and above the village square there was a rudimentary altar, which was empty, but it was new, and it seemed that it had not been built very long.
The head of this village is a thin old man, and Akad, as a doctor, explained that he was here to investigate what was wrong with the few people in the village who died suddenly of illness, but the village chief said that he was not clear, and asked them where they lived before they died, and wanted to go and see, but the village chief also refused, saying that the things in the room had been burned and the house had been given to others.
However, when talking to Akad, Akad always felt that this person's mood was extremely unstable, very manic, fanatical, chaotic, and there was a faint killing intent, not only that, but the villagers of the entire village were like this, but they did not feel any traces of witchcraft on their bodies.
Moreover, Akkadian found that there were many empty houses in the village, and no one could be seen, but there were obviously people living in these houses.
In the middle of the night, Akkad, who lived in the village chief's house, got up and inspected the entire village, and finally found some of the missing villagers in a cellar.
"It was Herkforus, who controlled most of the people in the village, and he persecuted us, and those who disobeyed him were sacrificed to the demons."
"They've all turned into monsters, and there's a change in everyone."
"Danta, Rose, Berseun, they've all changed, they've become brutal, oh damn it, they weren't like that."
"It's the devil who has taken control of their hearts, it's all Heckfors, it's Heckfors who brings us disaster."
Akad untied the thirty or so villagers tied up in the cellar and explained his intentions, and one of them, a freckled redhead, kept explaining to Akad what had happened in the village.
"Where's that Herckford?"
Akkadian still had a hard time believing in the existence of the legend of demons, but even gods and angels existed in this world, and demons didn't seem to be an unacceptable existence.
"He's in the east room......" Before the freckled redhead could finish speaking, Arcade interrupted her.
"No, they're already here."
At this time, a fire suddenly lit up outside, and outside the cellar, the villagers were surrounded by the villagers, and the village chief, after discovering that Akkad had disappeared, immediately summoned the whole village and came towards the cellar.
But at this moment, all the villagers have completely changed their appearance, these people, their skin has become a terrifying crusty existence, and their eyes have become an existence without pupils and full of strange patterns.
All the villagers seemed to have been assimilated by the power of the abyss demons, and turned into such a terrifying appearance, but this also gave them great strength, and each villager had a strength and speed far beyond that of the bloodline knights.
All the villagers trembled behind the back of Akkad, and the horror and power of these monsters had penetrated deep into their hearts.
And the leader was none other than Hekfors, who in front of Akkad, transformed from an ordinary person into a huge monster three meters tall in an instant, and his arms began to transform from his shoulders to become an existence waving countless tentacles.
"It's over, we've been discovered!"
"It's really dead this time!"
The red-haired girl grabbed Arcade's arm, looked around in despair, and said to Arcade guiltily, "Thank you, Mr. Arcade, but this time we dragged you down. ”
The villagers who had just been rescued wanted to escape, but they found themselves surrounded by death, and these beings with hideous faces who had been transformed into monsters were looking at them with fierce eyes.
"Whoever does not believe in his master deserves to die."
"It's already your honor to be a sacrifice, and you dare to run away."
Heckfors opened his mouth wide and let out a roar, and his tall body splattered out with the roar, and many people covered their ears with the sound of the roar.
"It turned out to be a demon."
At this time, Akkad took off his gloves, revealing his completely metalized mechanical right arm, and stood at the forefront, although he was more than a hundred years old and his body began to decline, but Akkad was still one of the most powerful wizards.
Akad moved his arm, although his hair had become a little gray, but his momentum was as high as when he was young, Akad looked at these monsters, glanced around, and said, "What are you waiting for?" Waiting to die? ”
"You're looking for death."
"I'm going to swallow you alive!"
All the monsters, including Heckfors, were stunned, they didn't expect this doctor to be so arrogant, and they suddenly moved at the same time, let out an angry roar, and pounced on Arcade.
However, Akad stretched out his hand, and the barrel of the gun stretched out from the mechanical arm, and immediately erupted fierce flames, tearing apart a monster that rushed in front of him, and then turned into a sharp blade form, cutting the monster on the other side into two.
Akad used his alchemy to fight, using his own mechanical right arm, which is the right arm of the monster Minotaur transplanted by Akad, the minotaur can control the metal and metalize the body part, after Akad transplanted this metal right arm, he inherited the extraordinary power of the Minotaur, and at the same time, he also changed this originally ordinary metal arm into a mechanical arm, adding a lot of his own inventions.
The huge power of the mechanical arm easily tore apart these demonized monsters, and the arm constantly changed shapes, which could turn into the form of muskets and cannons, tearing the bodies of these monsters.
And under the wave of the arm, the metal elements in the bodies of these monsters also began to rebel, and one by one their bodies were pierced by metal spikes, piercing the heart, but Hekfors, who inherited the power of the demon Sdicua, relied on the power of the demon to fight against the witchcraft of Akkadian and fought with Akkad.
A large number of tentacles wielded, a large number of tentacles extended more than ten meters, like a sharp blade cutting through the air, causing a sharp sound of breaking wind, the ground and houses were constantly being cut, and the demonic flames sprayed out had a special power that burned the spirit and soul.
But after all, it is just a human who has inherited part of the demon's power, and after Akkad figured out the details of Hekfors, a powerful molten gold bullet sorcery, a huge metal projectile with extreme speed, ignited half of the village, and drew a hot fire path on the ground, and the powerful force directly tore most of Hekfors's body, knocking it down from the beach into the sea.
Blood and stumps stained the sea, but in the darkness, Arcade never saw Heckfors' body float, and he didn't know whether the other party was alive or dead.
"It's impossible to survive this kind of injury, right?"
"Demons have also appeared, this world, it is really getting stranger and stranger, wizards, priests, knights, monsters have appeared, gods, angels, dragons, demons, one by one, what else?"
Akkad watched the coastline for a long time, flew above the sea and searched for a long time, and in the night, he could not see anything clearly, and finally Akkad could only give up.
"It was probably washed away by the sea."
Akkad returned to the village, put on his cloak and gloves, and at this moment almost all the monsters in the village were killed by Akkad, but the entire village was almost half destroyed, and only a village of thirty people remained.
And no one in the village thanked Arcade, who was also a monster in the eyes of these people, a monster with metal arms that was even more terrifying than Heckfors, and everyone looked at him in fear.
Akkad sighed, carried his box, walked through the crowd, and prepared to leave here, for Akkad, the demonic chaos should be over here, and Akkad was ready to go to other city-states of the Tutan Dynasty and enter the interior of the Tutan Dynasty.
At this time, dawn also appeared, the sun gradually rose from the coastline, this is the easternmost part of the Alan continent and the first place for humans to see the sun, watching this huge fireball emerge from the edge of the world little by little, can't help but sigh at the magic and magnificence of the world, attracting Akkad who has just left the village and stands on the trail to stop and watch.
Little by little, the fiery red light shone on the earth, bringing light to the world, and at this time, as the sun rose, Akkad saw a shadow appear in front of him, and kept shouting at Akkad.
"Hey, Mr. Arcade, wait for me!"
"Wait for me."
Akkad immediately saw that it was the freckled girl in the village, who came to Akkad at this moment, and kept panting: "Mr. Arcade, although everyone has not spoken, we are all grateful to you. ”
"We all know that you are a good person!"
Arcade laughed and patted the red-haired girl on the shoulder, "Thank you." ”
The freckled red-haired girl asked whimsically, "By the way, Mr. Arcade, can I learn from you?" ”
Arcade was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious: "Do you know who I am?" ”
The girl recalled, and as she had heard, she said, "Well, I have heard in Tephas that in the far west there is a being that wields magical powers, and their name is wizards. ”
Arcade nodded, and then said later: "You didn't say the latter sentence, wizards are extremely evil beings, they bring great disasters to people, everywhere they pass, corpses are everywhere, wailing and death occupy the whole world. ”
The girl nodded hesitantly: "Well, but I believe that Mr. Arcade is not such a person, and didn't you also use this power to save the people of our village?" There is no right or wrong power, it's just how people use it. ”
Akkad didn't expect this sentence to come out of a girl's mouth, and looked carefully at the girl from a remote village: "What's your name?" ”
The girl straightened up and said with surprise on her face, "My name is Marina!" ”
