A thick black mist swept from the distant sky, and on the ground below the black fog, there was a barren land full of human bones, which was different from ordinary grass, it was more like the surface of the earth was infected with a plague, a disgusting smell spread in the air.

Maia stood on top of a mountain peak, staring blankly at all this in front of him, for him, of course, he knew that this was the most terrible forbidden spell magic of the undead army, "Scourge of the Dead", a terrifying power that could grow on its own, the black fog would turn everything into undead, and the plague on the earth was full of evil forces that could make the undead stronger.

"All die, all die. Mai Ya muttered to himself, he didn't think he could stop such a powerful force, and now Mai Ya was desperate, he didn't care if he could still live, anyway, he was a waste who couldn't help anything, just die, he should have died under the teeth of those wild dogs, but unfortunately he was rescued by his adoptive father.

Maia looked at the abyss under his feet and took a gentle step, but he stepped on the void but did not fall, and while Maia was staring at his feet to figure out what was going on, he suddenly found himself in a desolate town.

"Run!" several teenage children supported each other and ran desperately, and behind them was a growing plague land. However, Mai Ya did not pay attention to the children, because he suddenly found that the town in front of him was very familiar, and he seemed to have been here.

"Ahh ”

Maia is shocked to learn that the girl who fell in front of her is his sister, who was scarred by a wild dog in order to save her, only to be rescued by an old priest who eventually adopted him and her.

"Sister!" Maia grew his mouth, but found that he could not shout, he pulled out his legs and prepared to run over to help his sister, who was not related by blood but was better than his own brother and sister, but he could not move at all, and could only watch the boundless plague land overflow over his sister.

"No!" Maia watched his sister's little hands slowly disappear into the plaguelands, and he closed his eyes in pain, tears pouring out of his sockets. "I'm useless, I'm a waste, I can't even save my own sister!" Maia exclaimed, "Ah, merciful gods, can you bear to see your pious believers suffer such a calamity?"

"You're not our believer, we don't need such useless believers!" a majestic voice came from the sky, a slightly echoing man's voice that stirred between the sky and the earth.

Maia angrily pointed to the man who appeared in the sky with two pairs of white wings behind his back, and shouted, "Why, why? Is this your so-called fraternity and kindness?"

"Brother!" A young female voice sounded, Mai Ya lowered her head in surprise, but found that her sister, who was supposed to be swallowed by the plague land, was standing in front of her, in a trance, Mai Ya didn't think about what was going on, his heart was completely filled with joy, Mai Ya immediately opened her arms to her sister and greeted her, and shouted: "Sister, great!"

"Hey!" Just as Maiya was about to hug her sister, Maiya's sister's lovely face suddenly changed dramatically, and a face full of evil desire appeared in front of him: "Be my food, human." ”

"No!" Mai Ya used all his strength to let out a high-pitched shout, a white light curtain erupted from his body, and soon turned into a large halo of light to envelop Mai Ya himself, at the same time, Mai Ya suddenly woke up from the dream, he suddenly felt the sharp pain coming from his face and body, and couldn't help but moan.

"Ah, he's awake. From outside the room came the crisp voice of a young girl, and after a while, a rush of footsteps came from far and near, to Maia's side.

"Grandpa, look, how is he?" the girl's voice sounded.

"Don't worry, since he can wake up, it means that there is nothing wrong, and he should be fine after a few days of rest at most. Another very old man's voice.

Maia listened to the conversation between the two people around her, desperately trying to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and his efforts were in vain.

The two people next to Mai Ya also seemed to see Mai Ya's movements, and the very old man gently patted Mai Ya on the shoulder, so: "Don't move, the wound on your body is not healed yet, come, drink this bowl of fish soup, and sleep well." ”

The warm fish soup in his stomach lifted Maiya's spirits, he clearly remembered that he fell into the rapids while sitting in the carriage, and after sinking to the bottom, he could no longer remember the situation at that time, how are they now? What is this place? Maiya's heart is now full of all kinds of questions, but unfortunately his body is too weak, and he can only make a faint sound when he opens his mouth.

The older man guessed Maier's mind and comforted him, saying, "Hello, Mr. Pastor. Don't worry, this is on the outskirts of Seabreeze City, my name is Cory, I'm a fisherman, and this is my granddaughter. Seeing that Maia was still trying to speak, the fisherman, who claimed to be Corey, said, "You are still very weak, you better rest more." Wait until you've recovered from your injuries before you think about anything else. Besides, with your current injury, what can you do?"

At Corey's persuasion, Maia fell asleep again.

Looking at Maia, whose head was covered in linen, Corey shook his head slightly, and the little girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old standing beside him asked timidly, "Grandpa, will he be okay?"

"He was in good health, although there were many wounds on his body, but they were not very serious, most of them were scratched by the reefs on the shore under the impact of the rapids river. Corey whispered, "Okay, Bonnie, go see what's going on in the pot, and when he wakes up, give it to him, but don't let him eat too much, he's very weak." ”

"Got it, Grandpa, but his face ......"

"Shhhhh ”

The footsteps of the two faded away, leaving only Maia in a deep dream.

When Corey and Bonnie left, a black mist slowly gathered on the roof of the wooden house, and a woman's face faintly appeared in the black mist, which would have been very surprising if Ryan was here, because this face was the revenant Susan who had been destroyed by his fire prison.

Susan, the revenant, looked at Maia lying on the bed with a complicated expression, although Maia was now asleep again, but it did not dare to devour Maia's soul again. In fact, the last ugly face Maia saw in that inexplicable nightmare was Susan's, and at that time Susan was about to devour the priest in order to obtain his life essence, but unfortunately at the last moment, Maia's strong desire to survive prompted the light power contained in his body to protect himself.

Perhaps this light force is weak and of no use to others, but for Susan, who is a dead soul, it is a very powerful existence, so Susan flew away from the scene, and did not dare to show up again until Corey and Bonnie's grandchildren left.

That night, Susan's body was destroyed by Ryan instead of attacking Ryan, but her powerful resentment was still supported by a mercenary of the two-axe mercenary group passing by, and Susan immediately devoured the mercenary's soul and finally escaped death. After escaping, Susan immediately travels to Seabreeze City, hoping to devour enough souls in the city to regain her vitality.

However, when Susan arrived at the gates of Seabreeze City, she was just in time for Ryan to exert his might and single-handedly suppress Raphael's men. In order to recover, Susan had to devour the souls of humans, but she did not dare to enter the city, because she was so frightened by Ryan, and in desperation, Susan had to hide outside the city.

Susan was originally a very intelligent woman, after the magic imprint in her soul was destroyed by Ryan's magic, Susan was completely free, she could do whatever she wanted, but Susan had a deep fear of Ryan, in order not to attract the attention of others, Susan hid in the small fishing village where Corey lived, and took advantage of the night to come out to find prey.

Susan didn't dare to devour other people's souls indiscriminately, it knew that once someone died, it would arouse the suspicion of others, this place was very close to Seabreeze City, in case the news reached the city, both Raphael and Ryan might have suspicions, if Raphael or Ryan came here to conduct a detailed investigation, then Susan would never be able to escape.

During the few days of incubation, Susan devoured only two fishermen, one who was sick and lay in bed, and his death did not arouse suspicion, and the other did it while he was drunk in the middle of the night, so that others would think that it was nothing more than drunken drowning.

When Corey moved Maia back to his house, Susan, who was hiding in the same room, immediately found the best prey, because Maiya was seriously injured and unconscious, even if she died suddenly, it was normal, and Maia's soul would allow Susan to regain a certain strength, at least not because she was exposed to the sun.
