Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Egg
"What's that!?" Rare screamed and stepped back. The impact of this air flow was so strong that he was a little unsteady.
"Oh, you poor little mice, you've escaped here...... It's a long way to go......" Brestu's voice came from within, as if echoing through the valley.
"Not good...... This thing has some kind of connection with the side of Burrestu!" Alan quickly retreated, pulling the others down the platform.
"Then let its children play with you before I take your own lives...... "Perestus's voice rang out again, "if you survive its hands, of course......"
"Its child ......" Alan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Burestus call this thing...... The last time he heard something like that was used by Burrestu to call MONOCULUS.
While he was stunned, the black air flow had slowly stopped, and little by little it gathered into a black cloud in mid-air.
"Get out of the egg!"
As Brisktu shouted, a long tail suddenly protruded from within......
The thorny tail Eren was familiar with, the shape of the Magic Eye that they had seen in the palace of Brestus at the time, entrenched on the edge of the city of Krivari!
"No......" Seeing that the situation was not good, Riel immediately used Starlight to take them back to their vicinity. And just as they landed, a huge black shadow also fell from the sky and landed heavily on the position they had just placed.
"What's going on?" Frey asked, "Why did MONOCULUS suddenly appear here?"
"No, it's not MONOCULUS......" Alan said, staring closely, "it'...... Children of MONOCULUS......"
"What?" several people were stunned at the same time, "MONOCULUS's ...... Kid?"
"Yes...... This is the child of the MONOCULUS......" Allen's brain spun rapidly, seriously recalling every sentence Burrestus had just said, "I almost get it......"
"What the hell is going on?" Cynthia asked.
"The black thing I was trying to destroy just now could be used for communication, but it's actually the Monoculus's egg...... One of the eggs!" Alan quickly explained, "Although its shape is different from the concept of 'egg' as we usually know it, it does have the function of an 'egg'...... The reason why you and Kelly feel agitated in front of it is precisely because it harbors strong evil thoughts inside!"
"I see...... Cynthia also understood in an instant, "its greatest use is not to communicate, but to absorb the evil thoughts and shadows in the hearts of everyone in this town!"
"That's right!" Alan nodded, "The fear, anger, sadness, anxiety and other negative emotions caused by a series of events that have happened in the recent period will all become its food, and then it will be converted into energy, some of which will be provided to the werewolves, and the other part will be accumulated......"
"This abominable Bresto...... In fact, he knew from the beginning that it would be difficult to achieve his goal by relying entirely on werewolves, so he kept such a hand!" Cynthia said.
"Indeed, this guy looks like MONOCULUS, but it's not as big as MONOCULUS......" Rare said as he stared at the little MONOCULUS, "If that guy were here, I'm afraid the whole town would be destroyed in an instant......
Before Riel could finish speaking, the little magic eye had already begun to wreak havoc, and although it was not as powerful as the main body, it smashed all the surrounding buildings in an instant with just a wave of its arm......
The people who had been hiding at home due to the ban all ran out when they heard the movement, although they didn't know that the werewolves that had threatened their safety had been eliminated, but at this time, they didn't care so much, and they all fled frantically towards the west and south of the town.
For a moment, the shouts and footsteps of people mingled with the noise of various things being knocked to the ground, and the quiet town became extremely chaotic in an instant......
"We've got to stop it!" Alan said, running over there.
The only good news now is that the area where this little magic eye is active now is not a residential area, otherwise it would have been full of corpses by now......
Since they were running against the flow of people, and they didn't dare to let Riel rashly take them to a place too close, the speed of several of them was quite slow, and Alan also collided with one of the rich middle-aged people who was running towards him.
"What are you guys doing, if you don't run away quickly, do you want to take the initiative to die!" the slightly short and fat middle-aged man shouted excitedly as he gestured.
But the next second, he was suddenly stunned: "Ah...... It's you ......."
"Mr. Labredo!" Alan rubbed his forehead and got up from the ground, also seeing who he was.
"You're still alive......" Mr. Labredo muttered, and then immediately changed his tone, "Good boy, run, the Magical Management Society is doing everything it can to catch you...... Treasure your lives!"
At this time, there were other people around who recognized them and stopped.
"It's them! I found them!" someone shouted, "those wanted guys, the ones who brought disaster!
People began to gather in this direction.
"The association's announcement is clearly written, you were the one who caused the disaster in Krivari!
"Yes, that's right, just give them to this big guy and we will be saved!" more and more people who did not know the truth also shouted and surrounded them.
"You fools!" Cynthia couldn't help but be angry when she heard this, "We fought to the death for you, and you want to push us into the fire pit?"
"What fire pit is not a fire pit, we only know, if you continue to stay here, it will ruin Beya!" The people didn't buy it, and the voices of people trying to capture them and give them to the MONOCULUS came and went, and a few people took out their wands and were eager to try.
Seeing this, Cynthia immediately took out her wand and threw a few bolts of lightning into the sky as a warning.
"Don't be angry with them, they don't know anything, they're just brainwashed by the association. Alan hurriedly whispered.
But having said that, it is difficult for them to get out of the siege of these people, and in this case, people are naturally more willing to trust the official than a few people on the wanted list.
"This big creature isn't here because of you, is it?" asked Mr. Labredo in a sudden whisper.
Only then did Alan realize that this middle-aged man, who had always seemed to only flatter and was a little greedy for life and afraid of death, was always in front of them.
"You're here to save these people, aren't you?" asked Mr. Labredo again, not looking back.
"Yes...... Someone else caused it to appear, and has taken control of the entire Magical Association...... We, on the other hand, are on a mission to eradicate it......" Alan replied in a whisper, "It's just a pity that we didn't manage to save Krivari......"
"That's right...... Sure enough, Cecilis was right,......" muttered Mr. Labredo, "you are not demons, but saviors......"
With that, Mr. Labredo raised his wand and shot a flash of fire into the sky: "All silent!"
When the people saw the mayor suddenly open his mouth, the noise immediately became much quieter.
"Listen!" Mr. Labredo used the Amplification Charm to adjust his voice to the maximum, staring at the Demon Eye with great emotion, "We have been blinded by demons for too long, and now the real demons have appeared!"
The crowd suddenly fell silent and turned around.
"You're all right"
