‘What kind of monster is it?’
In front of the treasury, Oz lay on the ground, slowly closing his eyes, but his powerful perception could clearly detect the pair of eerie eyes behind him.
Just five days ago, Flora, who was originally just a Great Goblin, suddenly went mad and pounced directly on Oz, who was lying in front of the treasury.
At that time, facing Flora's sudden attack, Oz reacted, but he didn't go all out because Flora had grown up in the palace since she was a child, and Oz had watched her grow up.
At that time, Oz just wanted to subdue her without hurting Flora.
But what Oz didn't expect was that Flora, who had gone mad, completely disregarded herself and rushed into the whirlwind wrapped around her body.
In an instant, Flora's body was cut with a large number of wounds like rags, and then the most terrifying scene appeared.
From Flora's wounds, a large number of blood-red tentacles drilled out.
The tips of the tentacles split into three lobes in mid-air, covered with sharp fangs, and then strange and terrifying tentacles pierced into Oz's body, instantly Oz felt a large amount of blood and magic essence being absorbed.
At that time, Chris, who was above the treasury, also noticed the situation below, and flew down, knocking Flora, who was stuck on Oz, away with a claw, and then trapped her with magic.
After that, in the horrified eyes of Oz and Chris, the tentacles that had drilled out of Flora's body shrank back again, and then the wounds on Flora's body began to recover rapidly, and Flora, who had gone mad, gradually regained her sanity.
In the next few days, in order to prevent Flora from going mad again, Oz and Chris asked the guards to prepare a large amount of food for Flora, and just yesterday, Flora actually evolved from a Great Goblin into a Goblin on her own.
However, after evolving into a Goblin and becoming a high-level monster, Flora had been guarding in front of the treasury.
Her original gentle temperament had become strange, as if her inner self had completely transformed into a different existence, and such Flora gave Oz and Chris a dangerous feeling.
If Flora hadn't still been guarding in front of the treasury and hadn't rushed in, Oz and Chris would have expelled her long ago, but that was all a day ago.
Now Oz and Chris themselves were also constantly being eroded and infected, and even they were unconsciously treating Flora as one of their own in their hearts.
And this point, even Oz and Chris didn't notice...
......
Inside the royal city, Edras, who hadn't returned since leaving the treasury a week ago, was looking at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face.
A group of adult Goblins were lying on the ground like beasts, gnawing on something.
The original gray streets had been stained red with blood, and a large number of incomplete corpses were spread all over the streets.
Every corpse was covered with tooth marks and traces of being torn apart.
From the incomplete faces, it was not difficult to see the Goblin horns on the heads of the corpses.
It was clear that all the dead monsters were Goblins, and those who killed and gnawed on them were their own kind.
Even, those who killed and gnawed on them were likely to be their own parents, wives, and children.
“Who exactly is it!”
Edras exuded a substantial murderous aura, his blood-red eyes staring fixedly at a Goblin teenager in a corner not far away who was lying on a female Goblin corpse and gnawing on it.
Edras knew that Goblin teenager, and he also knew the corpse that was being gnawed on, that corpse was the Goblin teenager's mother.
And similar scenes were happening everywhere in Kalandur.
Hundreds of thousands of monsters, except for a few high-level monsters who had not yet gone mad due to hunger, were all doing such things.
In just one week, nearly two hundred thousand monsters in the entire Kalandur had died, leaving less than one hundred thousand.
And every monster that survived had gnawed on the flesh and blood of their compatriots.
As for the food stored in Kalandur, it had already been exhausted a few days ago.
“Your Majesty, is this God's punishment for our Edras Kingdom?”
At this time, the door of a stone house next to Edras was opened, and a burly male Great Goblin with a resolute face walked out, but at this time, there was only endless despair and sadness on his face, and he was also one of the monsters who had gone mad.
As for now, he had temporarily regained his sanity, only because he had killed and gnawed on his clansmen when he was mad, temporarily filling the hunger that made him lose his sanity and go mad.
As for his family, they had all been killed and gnawed on by other monsters when they went mad a few days ago, or they had completely turned into monsters because they had not obtained enough food to fill their hunger.
At this moment, he, who had lost all his family, had completely fallen into despair.
The reason why he was still alive was only because if he committed suicide, he would turn into a twisted and disgusting monster, and he didn't want to become like this.
“...Live on, and then wait for Sally to become the Demon King and launch revenge on our enemies!”
Edras silently looked at his people who had fallen into despair, and after a few seconds, he patted his shoulder hard and said with a firm face, and after hearing Edras's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of the Great Goblin, their Edras Kingdom still had hope.
Their next king would awaken to become a True Demon King, leading them to launch revenge on their enemies, no matter what, he had to live to that day!
“Go, stop them!”
In the next second, Edras looked at the many Goblins who were still gnawing on their own kind on the street, and the powerful magic essence turned into a substantial pressure, fixing them all in place, and then he waved his hand, and many monster soldiers behind him rushed up, grabbing all the Goblins who were intact and powerful, and directly killing the monsters whose bodies had been incomplete and mutated.
After that, many monster soldiers coldly collected all the killed Goblins and all the corpses on the street, and then took the captured monsters away from here.
“Is the soul enough?”
Looking at the leaving soldiers, Edras suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see clusters of blue soul light spheres already filling the sky, and just now the number of souls had reached one hundred thousand, which meant that one hundred thousand monsters had already died in Kalandur.
“I clearly prepared to do this a long time ago, why do I still feel sad.”
Looking at the dense soul light clusters in the sky, a smile that was uglier than crying appeared on Edras's handsome face, and behind Edras, the manhole cover of the sewer was suddenly lifted, and dense tentacles poured out from it, rushing towards Edras.
And the moment these tentacles appeared, everything around began to become chaotic and distorted.
The earth and houses were directly animated, and a large amount of flesh and blood grew out from them, the ground began to wriggle continuously, and Edras's feet directly sank into it, and a large amount of flesh and blood began to wriggle upwards along his body.
“It's finally here?”
Facing the terrifying and chaotic everything around him, there was no change in the expression on Edras's handsome face, he just coldly turned his head and looked at the tentacles that were constantly pouring out of the sewer, and the corners of his mouth cracked into a terrifying arc.
“I've been waiting for you for a long time!”
In the next second, golden light wrapped around Edras's entire body, and terrifying magic essence turned into substance, and a round of golden light pillars rose into the sky with Edras's body as the center, and in an instant, the flesh and blood wrapped around Edras's feet directly turned into powder, and all the tentacles that were constantly approaching behind him were also crushed...
When the golden light pillar disappeared, the original street had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge pit, and above the pit, Edras stood there with his arms crossed, his cold eyes staring fixedly at the giant slime in the sewer... of course, the premise was that the thing covered with tentacles and whose body was split in the middle with a big mouth was still called a slime.
“Is it you?”
Edras looked at the twisted and disgusting slime in the sewer and sneered.
In fact, after investigating the entire Kalandur a few days ago and not finding any abnormalities, Edras turned his attention to the always ignored sewer.
And as expected, Edras found a lot of clues in the sewer, and even encountered several gluttonous monsters with strength close to that of high-level monsters.
After solving them, Edras guessed that there must be a more powerful existence behind all these changes.
And just when he had just arrived here before, Edras had noticed something was wrong.
As a Demon King species, he had long sensed an unknown force permeating Kalandur, and it was this force that eroded his people that caused them to become like this, but the stronger the monster, the longer it could resist the erosion.
And the unknown force in the air of this street that made the monsters go mad was several times stronger than that of other places in Kalandur, which was why Edras had the soldiers leave first and stayed behind alone.
The purpose was to use himself as bait to see if he could lure out the guy behind the scenes.
“Eat...eat...eat...”
In the sewer, the giant slime did not answer Edras's question, or rather, as a gluttonous monster, it had no wisdom, only instinct.
In the next second, the giant slime opened its ferocious mouth and roared, and countless tentacles covered with fangs rushed towards Edras from all directions.
“No self-wisdom?”
In mid-air, Edras frowned as he looked at the dense tentacles in front of him.
Originally, he thought that this giant slime, which had strength comparable to that of a top-level high-level monster and could accelerate the erosion of his people, would have self-awareness.
But from the current situation, this guy has no changes in terms of wisdom compared to other monsters except for his strength and the ability to accelerate the erosion of monsters.
“Forget it, let's catch it first, maybe we can use it as a positioning to successfully find the enemy behind the scenes!”
Saying that, Edras raised his palm, and a huge ice-blue magic circle instantly appeared above the giant slime.
In the next second, just as countless tentacles were about to touch Edras, all the tentacles instantly stopped in mid-air.
At this time, the entire giant slime had turned into a huge ice sculpture.
