Chapter Twenty-Five: A Rainy Night

(I didn't expect the fan value limit to affect this chapter, and it has been changed)

"Boom Rumble!!

Torrential rain poured down, lightning and thunder roared, and the whole world was darkened. On the narrow path, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping forward. The oil lamp hanging outside the carriage could not illuminate the road in front of him at all in this case, and only a small area could be seen vaguely.

The soldiers responsible for protecting the carriage had largely fled, except for the Cado Knights, who remained on horseback. The elven scout sat in the groom's seat, his hands tightly gripping the reinsβ€”β€”β€” if it weren't for the elves' agility and night vision, I'm afraid this carriage would have fallen to the bottom of a cliff.

In the carriage, Alyssa and her mother were also pale, the carriage swaying from side to side, the howling winds, thunder and lightning and torrential rain outside, there was hardly the slightest element of reassurance. Alyssa's mother clasped her hands together and muttered to herself that she didn't know which god she was praying to, while Alyssa clenched her fists and looked out the car window uneasily.

Ogis, on the other hand, was rather calm, sitting across from them, with her suitcase on her lap and a book on top of itβ€”β€”β€” a fairy tale book that Ogis had taken from the castle's library before leaving, and which she read with relish, even in the dim light of the oil lamp.

"Buzzβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

However, at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound from the wind and rain, and the sound was so weak at the beginning that it made people wonder if they had heard it wrong. But soon, the sound grew louder and louder, as if swarms of mosquitoes were swarming towards them.

And at this moment, the screams of the elf scouts also sounded from outside the car.

"Be careful, it's rotting flies !!"

At the same time, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

It was a human-sized monster with two pairs of wings, like an enlarged combination of flies and bugs, and they swooped down from the wind and rain and rushed straight to the carriage. And in the face of the attack of the swarm of rotting flies, everyone was also nervous in an instant. The old knight held the reins in one hand, drew the long sword at his waist with the other, and roared angrily and slashed at the flying rotten fly, instantly cutting the rotten fly that rushed down in half.

On the other side, the elves clung to the reins and swayed from side to side in the carriage, trying to escape the swarm of rotting flies. After all, although the rot flies are not very strong in attack, it is very troublesome to swarm them. If they can't escape, then they will probably die here!

"Lord Kado, get on the carriage!"

Hearing the shouts of the elves, the old knight did not hesitate, rode his horse close to the carriage, and then leaped up and landed in front of the carriage. Almost at the same time, several rotting flies flew down, knocking the old knight's horse to the ground, mercilessly tearing at its flesh and turning it into a corpse.

The thick smell of blood seemed to fuel the ferocity of the rotting flies even more, and they picked up speed once more, almost encircling the carriage. The old knight wielded his sword and drove back all the rotting flies that tried to get closer. But even so, quite a few rotting flies began to attack the carriage of the carriage, and their minions and sharp jaws began to tear frantically and hit the carriage. At this moment, Alyssa's mother and daughter in the carriage were already trembling and hugging each other.

"Really......... Trouble! ”

After manipulating the carriage to shake off the rotting flies again, the elven scout couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, who's that, didn't the Black Knight want you to protect us? Help us or we'll be doomed!! ”

Although the elven scout was not aware of Okis's abilities, she had seen Okis deal with the Plague Apostle at the beginning, and knew that the taciturn girl had considerable power. If she doesn't make a move, then everyone will die!

"Miss Ogis!"

Hearing the screams of the elven scouts, Alyssa also hurriedly looked at Ogis who was still flipping through the book on the other side.

"Please help us, everyone will die if this continues!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

In response to Alyssa's request, Ogis simply looked up, stared at her, and nodded slightly.

The next moment, a miracle happened.

The swarm of rotting flies that had been surrounding the carriage suddenly shattered, and each rotting fly seemed to be cut into countless pieces by an invisible blade, and in the blink of an eye, the army of rotting flies that had been invincible had completely disappeared into the torrential rain and dark night.

For a moment, the surroundings were quiet again, except for the sound of horses' hooves and creaking carriages mingling with the wind and rain. And the elven scouts and old knights who survived the catastrophe also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew......... It seems that the black knight is quite reliable, I thought ..............."

β€œβ€”β€”β€”οΌοΌοΌβ€

However, before the elven scout could finish his words, suddenly, a huge figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of their carriage. It was a terrifying monster three meters tall, swollen all over its body, with two terrifying huge claws, and its entire body was covered in deteriorated and swollen muscles and blood vessels. It opened its mouth, its long tongue sticking out of it, and it swam like a viper.

"Chaos Egg !!"

Seeing this monster, the elven scout and the old knight all changed their faces drastically, for this terrifying and terrifying creature, even they had only heard of rumors. To put it simply, when the body of a cult god is unable to withstand the chaotic power bestowed by the god he believes in, their body and mind will completely collapse and turn into a murderous and self-aware monster. This monster is powerful, does not distinguish between friend and foe, and is one of the most terrifying enemies that no one wants to encounter.

And now, standing in front of the galloping carriage, it was about to crash!!

"Woo..................!!!"

The elven scout gritted his teeth and tugged the reins to try to slow down, but it was too late, and the Chaos Eggs were already howling and daring towards them!

Seeing that this terrifying monster was about to completely collapse the carriage, but at this moment, the huge body of the Chaos Egg suddenly trembled in mid-air and stopped abruptly. Immediately after, a shining thunderbolt pierced through the rain curtain and blasted directly towards the Chaos Egg!!

"Knock !!!"

The Thunder Warhammer struck directly into the chest of the Chaos Egg, smashing it into the air, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai fell like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the chainsaw sword in his hand made a roar no less than thunder, and slashed hard at the Chaos Egg.

However, the Chaos Egg was obviously not easy to deal with, and Duanmu Locust had just approached, only to see its claws suddenly stretch out, and it was pumped towards Duanmu Locust like a long whip. In the face of the Chaos Egg's attack, Duanmu Huai could only retract his sword and retreat, but he still didn't have time, he was whipped by the Chaos Egg and took a few steps back.

Hey, you shouldn't be reckless when dealing with this kind of thing, you should make mistakes.

Looking at the words [LV30] on the top of the Chaos Egg's head, Duanmu Huai silently put away the idea of going up and killing him, and then with his thoughts, a card appeared in front of Duanmu Huai again, and then turned into an evil spirit wearing a black tattered long skirt and looking thin like a dry ghost, it raised its thin hands, screamed and pounced on the Chaos Egg, and the Chaos Egg was not to be outdone, got up and grabbed the black-haired evil spirit with one claw, and then saw the evil spirit screaming and disappearing in the air, and the Chaos Egg body suddenly stagnated, It then fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

【Ghost (Bronze)】

[Cost: 2]

[Attack: 2]

[Defense: 2]

【Nirvana】

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Wraith is not very strong, but the [Kill] characteristic it holds is an absolute threat on the battlefield. Especially for a guy like Chaos Egg, who even has his brain strengthened into muscles, there is only one way to die in the face of [nirvana] who will die as long as he touches it.

After solving the Chaos Egg, Duanmu Huai also caught up with the elf scout and others, and everyone was relieved to see that Duanmu Huai was fine. But soon, bigger troubles came.

"We can't run away like this."

Pointing to the map in front of her, the elven scout looked bitter, she originally wanted to go to her stronghold, but now it seems impossible.

"It's clear that the army of the Filthy God has flooded the area, and it's almost impossible to get out of here without alerting them."

"The numerical advantage is really troublesome."

Duanmu Huai also nodded, they are just such people, if the believers of the God of Filth are determined to arrest them, then they are not the opponents of the believers of the God of Filth at allβ€”β€”β€” as I said before, the God of Filth is a thing that is not taboo, and there is no bottom line of principle for recruiting believers, as long as it is willing, the people in the entire territory will become believers of the God of Filth......... It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

But it's not completely impossible.

"In that case, let's take a path they don't dare to chase."

"Where is this kind of place?"

"Absolutely."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the map in front of him.

"For example......... A place that no life dares to enter. ”
