Chapter 348: Gourmet Wizard
Inside the Elk Tavern, “Nina,” dressed in a long black dress, was kneeling on the wooden floor of the first story, tightly embracing the deceased Blood Fang.
Beside her lay a corpse, already in a pool of blood.
From the half-eaten face, it was clear that the body belonged to Fles, the half-elf vice-captain of the Blackthorn Mercenary Group and Nina’s half-brother.
“Wizard, Nina suddenly turned into a terrifying monster just now and bit Fles to death!
Ah!”
Just as Harry was about to quickly inform Grace-Eva, who had entered the tavern first, a pair of Blood Red pupils, like cold, venomous snakes, stared emotionlessly at Harry.
Upon meeting “Nina’s” gaze, Harry seemed to fall into a nightmare, screaming wildly and scratching his body with his fingernails, appearing utterly insane.
“Snap—”
Just as Harry was scratching his body bloody, a crisp snap of fingers suddenly sounded. Immediately after, a sweet aroma, like vanilla pudding, quickly permeated the entire tavern.
Smelling the scent, Harry stopped his unconscious screaming and scratching, collapsing like a puddle of mud and falling into a deep sleep by the tavern door.
“Mary, I’ll leave the other survivors in the city to you.”
“No problem.”
Hearing Grace-Eva’s words, Mary-Margaret, standing beside her, nodded slightly, then cast Wizard's Hand to lift Harry from the ground.
As Harry was lifted, his body rapidly shrunk, then eerily transformed into a human-shaped cookie, which Mary-Margaret placed into the candy basket she held.
Subsequently, Mary-Margaret’s body also rapidly shrunk, and along with the sweet scent of vanilla pudding, she drifted out through the door crack.
“I thought it was something, but it’s just a living corpse with divine power.”
As Losia-Haigo said, “Nina,” surrounded by the wizards, was not the Dark Sun Apostle they had suspected, but merely a corpse with some of the dark sun’s power.
“It’s you who want to kill my child!”
“It’s you who killed my Lucas!”
Sharp screams continuously emanated from “Nina’s” mouth. As her voice grew louder, fine cracks, like spiderwebs, spread across “Nina’s” face. In a moment, her skin peeled away, revealing a plain face with a few freckles, starkly different from “Nina’s” delicate beauty, appearing on “Nina’s” face.
“I’ll kill you!”
Aie aie aie aie—
As if responding to “Nina’s” words, several black torrents composed of Vampire Bats instantly shattered the tavern windows and flew towards “Nina.”
“Whoosh—”
Watching “Nina” being enveloped by the swarm of Vampire Bats, Losia-Haigo directly transformed into a silvery-white stream of water and surged towards “Nina.”
However, just as Losia-Haigo was about to use the Blood Law to crush “Nina” and the surrounding Vampire Bats into a pulp, she discovered an extremely sturdy barrier surrounding “Nina.”
“Whoosh—”
Seeing this, Losia-Haigo remained unfazed. The silvery-white stream of water instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang waterfall, pressing down on the barrier around “Nina” with immense force.
“Losia, don’t flood the entire city.”
Under Losia-Haigo’s attack, the entire Elk Tavern had already been pulverized.
Gu Shan-Laifu, who was already accustomed to such scenes, calmly raised his bone staff and lightly tapped the ground after giving a reminder.
Instantly, large bone walls made of white bones rapidly grew around the Elk Tavern, forming a city wall that completely blocked Losia-Haigo’s overwhelming floodwaters within.
“Such a sturdy barrier.”
Looking at the barrier that remained standing firm under the Blood Law, Losia-Haigo’s initially nonchalant expression became a few shades more serious.
“Caw—”
Just then, a completely black raven swiftly descended from the sky. The moment it landed, the originally small raven transformed directly into an elegant female wizard in a deep purple wizard robe.
“Grace, just as you predicted, in just half a day, the entire Duling City has been completely contaminated.”
Upon hearing this, Grace-Eva, who had been using the power of the Blood Law to eliminate Vampire Bats, did not show much reaction.
“Besides that, there’s also bad news.”
“What?”
Seeing Lilith-Meg’s rare serious expression, Grace-Eva also stopped her movements.
“I think we’ve fallen into the dark sun’s trap—because the entire Duling City has already been sealed by the dark sun…”
Hearing Lilith-Meg’s words, Grace-Eva’s expression finally changed.
“Whoosh—”
With a flash of Blood Red light, before Lilith-Meg could finish speaking, Grace-Eva directly spread her bat wings, transforming into a streak of Blood Red light and flying to the dome.
As Lilith-Meg had said, when Grace-Eva flew to a certain critical point, an extremely defiled power would rapidly attach itself to her, accompanied by a severe burning sensation.
At the same time, the invasion of the Blood Law would also cause Grace-Eva’s trachea and lungs to experience difficulty breathing, and her physical strength would also begin to rapidly decline.
Of course, these symptoms, for Grace-Eva, who controlled the Blood Law, would only make her uncomfortable; they would not hinder her from continuing forward.
Only the dark sun, hanging high in the sky, would, as Grace-Eva was about to break through, unleash endless blasphemous words like a poisoned dagger, plunging fiercely into Grace-Eva’s soul, delivering a fatal blow to her.
“Pfft—”
Grace-Eva, whose soul had suffered a heavy blow, spit out a large mouthful of blood, then, like a kite with a broken string, fell straight down from the sky.
Seeing this, Lilith-Meg, who had been guarding below, quickly transformed into a giant silver eagle and caught the falling Grace-Eva.
“Mary, come quickly, Grace is injured again because she was being reckless.”
“I see.”
Looking at Grace-Eva, who was already in a semi-comatose state on the back of the silver eagle, Mary-Margaret, who was already accustomed to such sights, merely shook her head helplessly. She then opened her palm and fed a white, beetle-shaped worm into Grace-Eva’s mouth.
“Mary, I sincerely suggest you remove these disgusting worms from your diet.”
As soon as she landed back on the ground, Lilith-Meg transformed back into her human form.
And when she saw the white worm Mary-Margaret fed to Grace-Eva, her face was even more unsightly than when she learned that she was trapped in Duling City.
