With the raindrops falling from the sky, the smell of blood around them suddenly became stronger, as if the water vapor in the air had turned into dripping blood.

The magic in the air suddenly became quiet as the raindrops fell, but this did not mean that it was safe - the original irascible power was cold to the freezing point, and only the icy killing intent remained. Feeling the abruptly changed atmosphere, the group did not dare to stay outside for longer, and immediately returned to the armored car.

Of course, Hermia and Carlotta also hid in the armored car with them, and the already extremely small space was even more cramped by the cram of two large guys. Curt, who was tightly sandwiched by these two guys, felt that he was almost out of breath.

This light armored vehicle was designed with absolutely no consideration for the use of these alien races together, so much so that both humans and other species were quite uncomfortable at this time. However, no one could say anything like letting the other person get out of the car at this time - after all, no one knew if the strange rain would cause any changes in their bodies, and that's how those magicians were infected.

"Please find a way to contact Dean Cruise François immediately, something is wrong. Not only us, but probably the other teams that have entered the city have already been targeted by Sain Democra, who may want to use this 'heavy rain' to wipe out our men. ”

In addition to the garrison, the academy and the military were also in a dilemma of being understaffed - having lost their initiative advantage, they needed to allocate a large number of men to protect the area around Catrice City. This will inevitably lead to the trouble of insufficient personnel, but they cannot give up any area lightly.

Knowing that they would be held back by their duties, Sain Democlera chose to attack the entire city. The greater the scope of the threat. The less flexible the people in charge of protection, the more they have to protect.

Those who chase two rabbits can't do one rabbit, precisely because there are too many important things. On the contrary, there is no way to properly protect them, and it is even possible that the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to disperse their forces. Curt didn't know how to comment on their choice. However, if the desire to protect is too heavy, it may not be a wise decision to bury the parts that could be protected with the parts that cannot be helped.

"Damn, I can't get in touch!

Without Lizzie's instructions, when they returned to the armored car, the driver, seeing that the situation was not good, had already started the machinery mounted next to the driver's seat and tried to make contact with the Academy. However, the other party may have guessed the spell they were using and prepared for defense in advance.

It was a machine powered by mineral magic, but strange noises were constantly coming from the metal machinery, and no one could tell if it contained important information. The driver constantly adjusts the angle of the white mineral embedded in it. It seemed to want to increase the efficiency of the mana transmission in it, but no matter how much he adjusted, the machine showed no signs of improving.

The communication that had been maintained by the spell was forcibly blocked by the enemy, and the surrounding environment was blurred by the red rain curtain. Their ability to observe was almost completely blocked by the enemy's tactics, and now if they were to run around like headless flies, they would undoubtedly find themselves in an even more troublesome situation - and to the greater concern of the leading mage, the rest of his companions did not know what was going on.

It's a laughable situation, even though they can drive out of the city and back to the academy right now. But Sein Democra's plan to stop them succeeded. And if they continue to stay in the city, what awaits them may be worse than this red rain, and the surrounding area has been completely reduced to the home of the "Chaotic Bloodline", and the dark red liquid has left dozens of puddles on the ground.

In the dim environment, the puddles all radiated a dim glow. The aggressive magic spreads unabashedly from it to all sides. Compared to the cold magic in the air, their existence felt less dangerous, but it turned out to be an illusion.

The rain-soaked flesh wriggled like insects, and soon worm-footed tentacles grew around the edges of the strange crystals. They slowly approached under the influence of some force. The tentacles that were initially extremely soft quickly became thick and tightly entangled with each other. Let the scraps of flesh and blood that have been torn to pieces combine into one and turn into grotesque structures.

They were undoubtedly given a new vitality under the power of those red liquids. Whatever the sorcerers think of this phenomenon, they have to admit that the liquids are inseparable from the "bloodline of chaos" - they are another form of the "bloodline".

"This thing is the prototype of the flesh monster we saw before!" and Lizzie quickly reacted, because it was not the first time she had seen a similar existence, "It's not just a living person, that mage can even use dead corpses to create similar monsters!"

In everyone's astonishment, the flesh and blood that had been torn apart had gathered together, and the tentacles extending from the edge of the severed limbs made them almost one. It is no longer possible to discern what "they" are, and even the clay artwork that the urchin has concocted by his hand may be more logical than its existence—at least a rough and crude outline can be discerned.

And in the structure of the lump of flesh in front of him, the only thing that can be felt is pure malice. The severed limbs and wreckage spliced together in an orderly manner exuded a fishy smell that made people smell and cover their noses, and the soft muscles were mostly free from the shackles of the skin, and they were scattered on their stomachs.

The sorcerer, who was a colleague not long ago, is now showing this miserable appearance in front of everyone, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to morale. Curt sensed that someone in the crowd was already shaken, but the current atmosphere probably didn't allow them to say even a single word of wavering.

"Tsk, regardless of the status of contact, I think we should prioritize evacuating the nearby area now, and the situation is obviously controlled by someone. ”

He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The enemy infected the mages stationed here before we arrived, and it is likely that they wanted to launch a surprise attack when we made contact. The remnants of the Eye of Truth may not have been for us, but they found out that these people had been controlled by Sain Democra, so they killed them with a spell and deliberately destroyed their bodies. ”

If we think about it from this perspective, then the situation makes sense, and all people's actions have a reason that is in line with their "rationality". Of course, there are some crazy people who don't play their cards according to common sense, but these people probably shouldn't be taken into account.

In Curt's speculation, it was the remnants of the Eye of Truth who knew the danger of these mages and chose to spend part of their time killing them all. Yes, they were obviously in a hurry to rush to the central area of the city, but they would spend a lot of energy to destroy the corpse of an infected mage in such a temporary stronghold when they suddenly chose such a temporary base, which naturally prevented someone from stabbing themselves in the back.

Undoubtedly, they were well aware of the tricks played by Sain Democra, and that those affected by the "bloodline of chaos" would gradually lose control of their bodies and eventually turn into a pool of black, foul-smelling sludge. In order to prevent these mages from becoming monsters to devour under the use of Sein Democlas, they killed them and destroyed their corpses to an unrepairable depth.

However, they didn't seem to know that the magician could use the residue of flesh and blood to regenerate these ugly monsters, otherwise they would have chosen to burn them clean. Now, there was a bit of a "prophetic afterthought" feeling, but the operation of the remnants of the True Eye did not succeed in stopping the enemy's actions.

Whatever decision they made at the time, there was nothing they could do to stop the gathered flesh and blood from becoming monsters, and even the surrounding construction waste was sucked into the bloated inside of its body, gradually moving it away from its mere monster form and closer to a puppet created by necromancy.

Soon, a bloody trail dragged behind the slowly wriggling Roshan, and they were approaching the armored vehicle step by step. The blood stains had a strange color as if they had rotted, and they were stained with several pieces of fallen flesh and blood.

"I know it's a good way to find out where to attack next, but now isn't the time to do that, is it? ”

However, Lizzie quickly interrupted Curt's reasoning, because it could be put aside a little, and even a review of the situation at the time could be discarded. The enemy has gradually organized into a single unit, and whether to fight it or withdraw immediately is running out of time to think about countermeasures.

Not only the monster in front of her, but through the porthole next to the armored car, Lizzie could faintly see the movement of some kind of creature rolling in the ruins of buildings in the distance through the heavy rain curtain. It was some kind of yellow-skinned, imp-like creature, and several red crystals were embedded in its thin and hemp body, and from such a distance, Lizzie could still feel the strange power in them.

At a cursory glance, there are at least a hundred of them - it seems that the enemy knows very well that only this flesh monster cannot stop them, so they have mobilized so many monsters to surround them. However, in front of them with modern means of transportation, as long as they keep concentrating on escaping, it is difficult to be caught by the monsters.

In other words, if they don't want to be surrounded at this intersection, the best countermeasure is to evacuate immediately, and try to get in touch with other detachments as much as possible. (To be continued......)
