CHAPTER XXIV

"Your Majesty, what have you done? You have scared all these scoundrels to death! This leader, in particular, has died a terrible death......

Gerald wiped the bone bracelet with leaves, looked at the orc corpses lying on the ground, and looked at the "bloody hand" Ruhr, whose face was extremely distorted, and the feces and urine under his body, even if he lost his breath, people subconsciously stayed away, not only a little disgusted, but more curious.

"Actually, I didn't know it myself, I just knocked this guy lightly. Sui Xiong pointed to Ruhl's corpse and said, "As for the others, I haven't touched them at all, and I don't know how they died." ”

"Oh, no, I know they were scared to death by such fear that after death, their souls went berserk and became resentful spirits. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the wriggling black gas in the shade of a tree not far away.

In the black air, you can vaguely see crazy figures, sometimes screaming, sometimes smirking.

Gerald listened curiously, only to hear a hint of maniacal laughter, and felt his heart shrink violently. Hurriedly stopped listening to the strange voice, and found a topic to distract himself.

"Your Majesty, I just counted, there are only about thirty corpses here, and there are about thirty-five or six robbers who attacked yesterday, what should I do with the rest?

"Don't bother. Sui Xiong smiled: "It is a matter of course to give people a glimmer of life, and it is their own blessing to be able to grasp this glimmer of life." But this glimmer of life is not so easy to grasp, at least don't try to escape to catch it. But whoever was here just now, even if he ran away for the time being, don't really think about escaping. I can sense that the guy is going to be back soon, so we'll just have to wait here for a while. ”

Gerald was stunned for a moment, from the time he left just now to the time he came back, he chatted for a while, eating two pieces of barbecue, and for a while, without the sound of fighting, no traces of battle, and no blood, the twenty orc robbers had been dealt with. Even those who escaped should not want to live.

The immensity of the power of the gods is unimaginable!

In fact, there was only one orc robber who escaped from here.

A figure ran wildly through the trees, the wind under his feet, panting like a cow.

This is the shaman of the Orc Wolf Riders, known as Burke the "Accountant". The status is second only to the head of the regiment, Ruhl, and usually plays the role of a butler.

He was the oldest of the bandits, and was usually silent, aloof, and lacking in presence. Normally, he would only appear next to Ruhl when he had divided the spoils after the robbery, valuing the items other than cash, then calculating the cost of the battle, and finally calculating a profitable amount, allowing Ruhl to decide how to divide the spoils.

He never asked for loot, never communicated with anyone other than Ruhr, and even when he was acting as an accountant, he pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word, except when he was acting as an accountant.

But at this moment, his face was full of panic, his lips trembled, and his teeth chattered as he ran.

A moment ago, as usual, Burke had chosen a safe place to sit quietly, watching Ruel, the powerful orc he had brought out of the tribe and had grown rapidly to lead him in his work, had succeeded in extorting a rare treasure from a giant who had not been deeply involved in the world and was innocent and kind.

It was a brilliant victory and deserves praise. The Beast Destroyer (orc god of healing and stratagem) will also be pleased with this, as he prefers to use intimidation and deception to obtain loot rather than pure violent plunder.

As a shaman among the orcs who believed in the gods of healing and stratagem, Burke usually did not like to talk, because he liked to think and pray silently, and spent all his mind conspiring and praying.

In his opinion, Ruhl's methods of obtaining the spoils of war were too crude and direct, lacking the beauty of violence. However, this time, although Ruhl's methods are still a little rough, they have changed qualitatively, and compared with the past, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

This made him very happy, and he felt that Ruhl had finally come to his senses.

But his joy lasted only a short time.

When Ruhl hung the giant's bracelet around his neck as a collar, he clearly saw that a bluish-white light rose from the collar, turning into a strange form that he had never seen before, and exuding a suffocating momentum, and the indescribable strong pressure made him feel like his heart was crushed for a moment.

The surrounding orcs were frightened almost instantly, screaming and fleeing in all directions, but before they could take two steps, they clutched their chests and fell one by one. And he persevered for a while with the strong will he had cultivated over the years, and did not immediately lose his cool.

But this is not necessarily a good thing, because it makes him clearly see that the strange thing just stretched out a tentacle and patted Ruhl lightly, so the fierce and brutal Ruhl was crushed by extreme fear, from the beginning of the forced composure to the complete collapse of the back, no longer able to resist, forced to die by the indescribably powerful force - only a moment.

Oh my God, what kind of monster lives in that bracelet!

The only thing he could do was kneel down and take out the emblem and pray.

"Bless my soul, O beast exorcist, so that I may think calmly and be free from fear and madness!"

As usual, the divine power descended quickly, turning into an icy breath like a cold wind, permeating his body, making his mind clear and steady, and he broke free from his panic.

Then, without hesitation, he turned around and ran.

He did not mount, for all the wolves had already whimpered and fled, their tails between their legs, running as hard as they could as if they were being chased by the most terrible beasts, and would not stop until they died of exhaustion.

In fact, he felt that what he was doing was no different from those beasts.

Run, run as fast as you can, run as far as you can.

He didn't know what the damn bone bracelet was, but he was sure it was far more mysterious and powerful than they knew.

The Orc Wolf Riders are finished, and so is Ruhl, and all he can do now is try to save himself.

Even in this matter, he is not very sure.

The effect of the spell doesn't last long, and if he can't run out of the range of that weird bone bracelet before then, he's dead!

Burke ran as hard as he could, squeezing out every bit of power he could use, not thinking about any after-effects at all, and thinking only about one thing.

Run faster! Go farther!

"What is that? What is it that is coming up from the bone bracelet?"

It's unbelievable that while running wildly, he can still separate some thoughts to think.

"Powerful...... Vast...... Immeasurable......"

Suddenly, his eyes contracted violently, a dry exclamation came out of his throat, and the muscles of his body stiffened in an instant.

He guessed the truth about the thing.

But he rather didn't guess correctly, or didn't think about it at all.

His cheeks trembled, his teeth chattered, and fear entangled him like a python, making him unsteady on his feet, and his legs began to weaken in an instant, let alone escape, and even had to rely on the trees around him to keep himself from falling to the ground.

"That's ...... Is that...... Is that...... A god!"

Burke, who had always been calm and composed, finally let out a terrible scream, and his body trembled as if he was sick and cold.

"I'm going to run away! I'm going to run away! I'm going to run away as soon as possible! I'm going to run as far as I can! I'm going to run as far as I can! I'm going to get out of the four towns in the northwest, out of the barren mountains, and into the interior, and I can't stay at all! If I don't run away, maybe he'll come to him soon!"

“...... No, maybe He's already on his way!"

Thinking of this, the hair on the orc shaman's whole body stood on end, and although the weather was quite warm and he was wearing comfortable clothes, he felt an irresistible cold. The cold came from his heart, making him feel as if he was standing naked on a cold winter ice field, as if he was about to freeze into ice in the next moment.

"Run, run, run!"

But he couldn't run, his trembling legs didn't obey him at all, and it took several times to barely stand still.

"No, there's no way to escape, you have to use the power of the exorcist......"

He knelt down, which was very easy, and with a shaky twist took out the emblem and began to pray.

This time, however, Burke's prayers were not answered.

The gods of the orcs are fierce and violent, and the prayers of the cowardly are not answered.

Fortunately, he still had a reserve of magic items, and after finding that the prayer was ineffective, he immediately took out a scroll with a gold edge, unfolded it without hesitation, and with a press of magic power, activated the key rune on it.

The expensive scroll burned, turned into a golden aura, and fell on him. The exhausted body quickly regained its vitality, and some courage rose again in the heart that had fallen into chaos because of fear.

So the shaman, who could be called the mastermind behind the orc wolf cavalry, continued to escape. His steps were so fast that on several occasions he even tripped over a tree stump or a rock on the side of the road, and fell heavily to the ground. Then he hurriedly rolled over and got up, and continued to run away into the distance, not daring to turn his head back, as if something was chasing him behind him.

No, he really felt that something was chasing him. It's huge, it's powerful, it's terrifying......

Before he knew it, the power of magic had subsided, and fear had re-enveloped his mind.

Haha, it is impossible for mortals to escape from the gods, and the reason why he was able to run so far was that the great being wanted to chew on his fears, watch his insignificant struggles, and get a little pleasure from them.

What will happen next? Will it be turned into rocks, in the depths of the woods, in a deserted place, alone for a long time with no end in sight, not to be seen or heard, only in darkness?

Or they will be thrown into purgatory, which is dedicated to punishing sinners, and will suffer all kinds of suffering, begging for death without being able to. Until the great gods occasionally show kindness?

Or, it can be completely crushed from body to soul and become a material for making magical items. Soon, a knife or an axe will freeze his screaming face?

The frenzied fear caused Burke to gasp for air, and his physical strength had reached the limit of his unrestrained running, foaming at the mouth of his nostrils and mouth. But he didn't mean to stop at all, and he was still running desperately.

I don't know when, his gaze became sloppy, his steps became staggering, and the expression on his face became dull.

He couldn't see the scenery around him, he couldn't hear the sounds around him, but he still ran, but he ran slower and slower, until finally he couldn't run anymore and fell to the ground.

He seemed to be trying to make an effort, and he struggled to crawl forward a few steps, and then let out a maniacal laugh.

"He's coming! He's coming to punish me!"

This is the last word left in the world by the old scoundrel who has committed many sins, promoted the establishment of a bandit group that does all kinds of evil, and left many terrifying records from the northern wasteland to the four towns in the northwest.

Then, finally, in extreme fear and exhaustion, in despair and madness, he swallowed his last breath.

As his soul fluttered up, an invisible force grabbed it and threw it into a cloud of black gas not far away.

In that black gas, there were already many crazy souls, sometimes screaming, sometimes laughing.

"You see, the fish that slipped through the net has also been solved. Sui Xiong said to the stunned Gerald.

The sun gradually rose, and from high in the sky, the running traces of "Accountant" Burke formed a circle.

It started in that clearing, and ended in that clearing, a big circle.
