Outside the high northern wall, Poulson, a member of the Abyss Sect, glanced up at the Red Moon, his eyes gradually changing from calm to excitement.

"Night, it's coming!"

"The bastard of the Thorn Demon is gone, so let's sacrifice it again with the Caster city-state, hahaha......"

And at his feet, countless corpses were piled on top of each other, some without heads, some without chests and abdomen, and some completely disappeared from the waist down.

"Vicious dogs, it's time to greet the Commander!"

Behind him, more than a dozen ghostly vicious dogs raised their heads and howled, "Roar—"

The flesh and bones from the corners of their mouths were shaken off and scattered on the corpses, as the abyssal creatures made up for their missing bodies.

Well, only a little bit.

Above the port to the west, the scene is even more dilapidated.

The wreckage of hundreds of ships was cleared out of the harbor, and the dozen or so three-masted galleons with a distinctly pirate-style style sailed into the harbor in a grand manner.

From time to time, the bottom of the boat would crush the corpses floating on the surface of the sea to send them on their last journey.

On board, thousands of pirates, dressed in different costumes, drank their last glass of spirits, drew their weapons and jumped into the harbor, killing the Basil neighborhood.

"Target, ransack the Basil neighborhood, the Natori neighborhood!"

"Resistant, kill!"

"Warning, kill!"

"Beauty, grab it back for Lao Tzu!"

"Haha...... Grab it back! ”

Countless people hiding in the Basil neighborhood heard the sounds outside, and their faces were all in despair.

The red moon is at the head, and there are those unscrupulous pirates outside, and it is difficult not to die.

Many people are on their knees, hoping that the path of faith that has not been successful for a long time, Dawn, O storm, please send down the light of salvation......

And those transcendents who lived in Basil neighborhood also reluctantly crawled out of the ground and gathered together in twos and threes.

They escaped the exploitation of the councils of the city-states, the nobles and the city guards, and the rune circles of the Vázquez, but they had no choice but to resist in the face of the pirates who knew nothing but destruction.

In the city-state of Custer on the west coast, they know a lot about the pirates who roam the Sea of Cordor all year round.

Those people are not only going to kill you, but they are also going to rob you, and even the corpses of the transcendental, they will collect and sell them to those in need.

Used as a cult sacrifice ritual, a certain wizard school's research material, some evil alchemists also like to use the corpses of transcendents as alchemy materials......

"Now there are only two ways to go, one is to flee to the central area, and the second is to stay here and deal with them, as long as we hold on until dawn, we can escape this catastrophe."

"There's not much time, let's vote."

Gilman, the mechanical wizard, tried to keep Cogwheel's eyes still so that she didn't look so coke.

"The second."

"Two."

"Me ...... too"

"Why doesn't anyone want to go to the central city?" Gilman was tempted.

One of the transcendents pouted, "Isn't this simple? Basil's neighborhood is in such a mess, and there are no city guards and bad men coming to investigate, and it is clear that the problem in the central area is even more serious. ”

"And you've heard the alarm bells ringing at dawn at noon, where there's a greater likelihood of a high-level calamity than anywhere else."

Gilman nodded in agreement, "Since everyone has chosen the same thing, let's prepare for each other, focus on saving your life, and don't fight with those bastards." ”

"So Gilman, hurry up and get those weapons out, shall you?"

"Yes, only if you survive can you make money, and if you die, it's all someone else's."

“…… Good. ”

Gilman reluctantly took out all the mechanical weapons, many of which were well-calibrated hand-held barrels, which were the most powerful weapons she could make.

These weapons, all the belongings she has accumulated over the years, are gone......

"Let's go, to the south of Basil."

"For ......"

"Stupid, aren't those pirates going to the Natori neighborhood, going to the north, waiting to meet their big army? If you want to die, you can go. ”

“……”

As the pirates overwhelmed the territory, the tranquility of Basil's neighborhood was shattered.

Everywhere there were roaring and fleeing pirates and laughing pirates, chasing, plundering, and killing......

And those transcendents who gathered together also broke through the siege and interception of the pirates again and again.

"Phew, damn crumbs!"

"Lao Tzu killed three miscellaneous pieces just now, and it's not a loss to die!"

"Guys, I can't do it...... Give me a ride. A weak voice rang out, leaving the transcendents around him, who had just managed to get rid of the pirates again, silent.

Looking at the serrated blade of the pirate, sawing off most of the transcendent who had lost too much blood in his body, everyone's hearts sank.

This kind of injury can only be effective with a perfect-level healing potion, but that kind of potion is not something that they can possess as transcendents hiding in dark corners.

And in such a time of crisis, even if there is, it will not be taken out......

Bang!

Gilman shot him in the head, ending his life.

"Thank you......"

"Let's go."

It's not that they don't dare to shoot, but they don't want to.

No one knows if they will become like this, and who will be able to choose to embark on the road of death with dignity when the time comes?

Transcendents such as Gilman and others were also staged throughout the city-state of Custer.

The ill-intentioned, the vicious, and the deviants who had long been polluted by demagogy all rushed out at this time, making the already disordered city-state even more chaotic.

But these are still not the most dangerous for ordinary people who are fleeing for their lives.

The most dangerous and serious consequence is that they are exposed to the red moon when they are forced to flee after being attacked!

"Roar—"

"Shhhh

One after another, under the illumination of the red moon, their eyes were first red, and then their bodies began to distort, and finally became an irrational deviant.

They are the victims of the abuser, but after the aberration, they join the team of the abuser.

Soon, chaos and distortion spread throughout the city-state, and there was no pure land and no escape.

In the vicinity of the Laos neighborhood, Poulsen had already joined another green-robed man with a dozen or so ghostly vicious dogs, and he couldn't wait to start the sacrifice ceremony.

"Hahaha...... Pollute, distort, fall into the abyss! ”

"My lord, I've fallen in love with this place!"

Poulsen laughed wildly as he set up the altar, totems, and engraved the sacrificial circle.

"Polson, it's time for you to contract a ghostly vicious dog as a temporary transition."

"No, no, no, no, I'm not out of control, and I don't want to contract with other abyssal creatures. Because ......"

Polson's body instantly swelled and turned into a demonic form, and he shouted in a strange voice: "I, Polson Heekme is already in the abyss, I am a demon!" ”

The green-robed man's eyes were calm, he shook his head and turned to leave, "I'll leave it to you here, summon the Lord Commander over early, otherwise it will be angry." ”

"Leave it to me, leave it to me......" Poulson smirked as he looked at the people who were running in a panic under the sea of fire in the distance, distorted by the red moon pollution, "really, the familiar smell of depravity." ”

Meanwhile, at 44 Golden Street, in Wayne's residence.

"My lord, what now? The entire city-state is out of control! Darkdragon said anxiously as he stood by the window of Wayne's attic bedroom where he was resting.

"I've used the circle to separate the space from the outside world," Olivia said with some pain.

Even over the years, she had only accumulated such a magic circle scroll made by a great wizard, and she didn't expect that what she thought was a simple task would encounter such a thing.

Thinking of this, she once again threw a whipping spell at Sava who was tied to the bed, "Blame your master, he didn't even report such an important matter, causing me to make a wrong judgment." ”

"Uhhh

The pain of having her soul torn apart was unbearable even for her.

But she still didn't say where Wayne went, let alone give up all opportunities to resist.

This is her instinct as a zombie, and it is also the tenacious will honed in the world of the undead.

"Hmph, you're not dead, think he's still alive. Let's see if he can survive this crisis! ”

Seeing her struggling to resist, Olivia gave up on continuing to whip, and her eyes rolled to a good idea.

"I suddenly remembered that I had done a very interesting experiment before, so I'll try it again on you......"

"Woooooo

Experiment?

Sava instinctively wanted to get up and run away, and she was visibly terrified of the wizard's experiments.

The dark dragon on the side was a little relieved, looking at Olivia who was preparing things, and wanted to persuade but was helpless.

In her opinion, as a high-level wizard apprentice, venting her anger on a zombie who can't resist is a very low-level thing......

……

……

In the midst of this chaos, only the central area of the city-state seemed unusually calm.

Whether it's the Parliament, the Secret Division, or the Krims Cathedral, it's all the same as it used to be.

Just look at it from a distance, and you will see that the magic circle light shield above the secret division is still there, the council hall is brightly lit, and the light on the Krems Cathedral is much brighter than ever.

And the roars, screams, and cheers that came from all sides smashed like hammers into the hearts of everyone in the central area, making them even more silent.

"Why don't you let us out and keep order?"

Lacey was incomprehensible, and even more annoyed.

Her hearing was far more sensitive than the average person, and she was certain that the city-state of Custer had become chaotic.

The voices of those men seemed to laugh at her incompetence.

Behold, the order which thou hast worked to maintain, and your duty as an inquisitor of the Secret Division, has been trampled and destroyed.

How ridiculous......

But now the senior management of the secret investigation department has not taken any action, and even ordered everyone to stay in the department.

Hearing her words, the surrounding investigators also showed puzzled expressions, but when they saw several high-ranking officials led by Nifa not far away, they all bowed their heads in silence.

"Say no more, Captain." Marco took a sip of wine and said vaguely.

After dealing with the shadow killers, the higher-ups obtained the situation in the council hall from secret sources and passed it on, and he took out a large amount of alcohol.

It can't be called drinking anymore, it's just drinking.

Bottles of good wine made by their Nascimento family winery were treated like dark beer in a tavern, poured into his mouth like money.

"Damn, how long are you going to drink?" Lacey punched him in the face, "Shouldn't you be happy to hear that the Ernst family has succeeded in forcing back the Samir Archon?" ”

"Happy, happy?" Marco staggered to his feet, "I, why should I be happy?" Ernst's success is not the success of the Nascimento family, and it is not the success I want......"

"For example, if it were me, I would replace the Ernst family and become the de facto ruler of the city-state of Karst, instead of standing on the right and side as someone else's advocate!"

"They're wrong, they're wrong......"

"You still have such ambitions?" Lacey snorted, "Put the wine down and dream about tomorrow." ”

"Dreaming, dreaming? Hahaha......"

Wayne, who was sitting next to them, looked at Marco, who was already in chaos, and sighed secretly.

He couldn't understand Marco's thoughts, and even more so his grief.

All he knew was that it wasn't Marco or the Nascimento family who was at fault, it was the Ernst family that caused all this to happen.

But, so what?

They can even use an entire city-state as a bargaining chip for their own personal gain, so how can they care what other people think?

The only way he could think of was to make those people feel pain, they would shrink into corners and lick their wounds.

There is no other way.

But most of Wayne's thoughts at this time were on Blackjack and the chief Nefa who had put away the forbidden things.

He thought that Blackjack was here to kill someone,

However, after seeing Blackjack's attitude towards Tina, he vaguely understood.

The so-called "finding someone" is indeed the target of Tina, and it is very likely to take her away from the city-state of Custer safe and sound.

As for the purpose of his doing so...... Wayne doesn't know.

"Take a sip?" Blackjack saw the way he looked, knowing that the move he had just made had exposed him.

But he wasn't flustered, he didn't care, he was confident that he would do anything before anyone else reacted.

"No, no." Wayne refused.

Blackjack took a sip of the flask and watched with interest as Lacey and Marco argued.

"It's been a long time since I've seen them arguing like this, every time Marco is beaten up unilaterally by Lacey, but he always goes to provoke Lacey."

"Huh?"

Wayne frowned, not understanding what he was saying this?

Show that he is really 'Old Jack', don't make a fuss.

"Actually, I don't mean anything towards you," Blackjack said to himself, "including the one holding your hand, of course." ”

He was referring to Tina, who sat quietly on the sidelines.

"So what?"

"So? Heh," laughed Blackjack, "of course it's to make you a little more sensible, and don't get in my way, lest you get hurt by mistake." ”

[You are locked by Jack Kim Adros's killing intent.] Evaluation: Well, a hint of ...... Reward: +20 survival points. 】

I almost believed it...... Your evil!

Wayne tilted his head away, not responding to his words.

He knew in his heart that if he did face Blackjack in the end, he had no chance of winning.

Still is......

"It's coming!"

At this moment, Director Nefa's calm voice rang out.

Then, everyone heard the sound of neat footsteps outside the secret division.

Then came a vague chanting.

"Sing bewitching songs in the dark night, release the fire of desire, seduce those who are not yet asleep, let the soul burn, make greed stronger, let us revel......"

[You are corrupted by the power of the origin of desire, because your origin is more than 40, you will be exempt from the influence of lust, hunger, concealment and other desires. Comments: Oh, the show is on. Special Rewards: Survival Point +5, Origin +1, Tenacity Level +1, Spirit Level +1. 】

The Power of Desire...... Mitra?

Before Wayne could think about it, he heard a tyrannical voice resound throughout the city-state, covering Mitra's chanting.

"I hate fire!"

Immediately afterward, a dark cloud drifted over Custer.

And it seemed to be a dark cloud with unique and extraordinary characteristics, even the red moon obscured it for a few points.

When Blackjack heard this, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Waleed, son of a bitch, a fool who doesn't know how to restrain!" ”

Well?

Wayne was stunned, the clouds were summoned by the people on the Black Pearl?

"Are you going to start? Let's get started! ”

"Great Lord of the Deep Abyss, King of Darkness! We call upon you with blood and soul, burning flames, overflowing curses, in this dark night, asking you to grant us pain......"

Abyss Sect...... Sacrificial ritual!?
