Chapter 78 - Terrifying Dark Magic!
Chapter 78: Terrifying Dark Magic!
When Wolf Demon Edil appeared with fifty-four members of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, the scene was immediately shrouded in a bone-piercing chill.
Seeing this, Phyllis held Lilian tightly in her arms, but it still could not ease her fear of Edil.
“Lord Edil, why are you here?”
Cartier’s face was filled with shock. Although he did not want to stand out, as the Village Chief, he had no choice but to speak.
“Hmph! You gnomes really have a lot of guts. How dare you defy against authority!!” Edil’s voice was extremely calm, but bone-chillingly icy!
The moment he arrived, he had seen the ground littered with the corpses of the gnomes and Wild Wolf members, so naturally, he understood what had happened here.
These gnomes, who were like mere ants to him, could be killed if they chose to do so. They could be captured and used for magic experiments if they chose.
Now, these lowly creatures actually dared to resist. That meant that they needed to be taught a lesson!
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the gnomes at the scene immediately knelt down.
Other than Phyllis and village chief Cartier, the other gnomes could not help but tremble when they saw Edil.
“Sir… Sir Edil… We… We were wrong…”
Thud thud thud!
After saying that, the sound of heads hitting the ground could be heard again.
Seeing his clansmen do such a spineless thing, Cartier felt extremely helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
The gnomes of the same generation as him had basically all been killed by the Wild Wolf Mercenaries. Their own children had also been captured by Edil for dark magic experiments.
The new generation had been living under the shadow of the Wild Wolf Mercenaries since they were young. Their fear of Edil was deeply rooted in their bones!
Although he was the village chief, he had no way to solve the problem at hand when faced with this kind of fear.
However, just as Cartier’s heart was filled with helplessness, Edil’s cold gaze fell directly on the unconscious Lilian and the pale-faced Mike.
When he saw Lilian, his eyes did not show any emotion.
After all, a person who was on the verge of death with injuries all over their body did not interest him much.
However, when he shifted his gaze slightly and landed on Mike, his indifferent expression was finally slightly shaken.
There was actually a trace of fear in the expression on his face.
This… What was going on with this person?
He was obviously a disabled person!
Why did he sense a powerful danger from him?
No matter what he thought, Mike’s existence had already made him feel a sense of danger.
Therefore, that classified Mike as a must-kill person!
This was an ability that a commander needed to have, killing anyone who was a potential danger to him!
Perhaps sensing the murderous aura of the man in front of him, Mike’s face turned gloomy.
At the same time, his face was full of worry.
Damn it!
There were so many villains!
Mike gritted his teeth. He wanted to kill all the villains of the Wild Wolf mercenary group, but he couldn’t do anything at the moment.
After all, he had already lost his left arm and a large amount of blood, let alone killing a leader of the group.
Even killing an ordinary member would be extremely difficult.
At this moment, Edil also jumped off the back of the Black Horse and pulled out a long knife. He was ready to chop off Mike’s head and use it as a material to refine magic.
Seeing this, Cartier’s eyes widened.
Although he had been cursed to become a goblin, he was an elf who had thousands of years of experience before this.
He was born with a strong sense of natural elements and magic.
Edil clearly wanted to chop off Mike’s head and use it as a material to practice black magic!
He had seen this method many times in his own people over the past ten years.
No!
He must not let him do this!
This youth was most likely the fated child from the legends. He must not be harmed in the slightest!
“Young friend, you’re injured. Quickly come in and rest.”
When he thought of this, Cartier immediately pulled the weak Mike into a position that would prevent him from being hurt by Edil.
However, his actions instantly caused Edil to be unhappy.
“Hmm? You really have a lot of guts, huh? You dare to snatch people away in front of me? !”
Edil’s voice wasn’t loud, but the coldness in his tone made everyone present feel a chill run down their spines.
“Village Chief, what do you mean by this?”
“Yeah, we gnomes can’t act recklessly.”
“If we provoke Lord Edil’s anger, we will definitely be punished!”
“Hand him over, or else…”
The gnomes saw what their village chief was doing and immediately became worried.
At the same time, they quickly gave suggestions, hoping that he would hand Mike over so as not to attract unnecessary trouble.
However, the trouble they were talking about did not cause Cartier to agree.
In his opinion, Mike’s life was extremely important. Even if he only had a glimmer of hope that he was the fated Son of Heaven in the legends, he had to protect him.
Because this was the only hope of saving their elven race.
“Sir Edil, we are just lowly gnomes. How could we dare to disobey your wishes? However, this human youth is a servant of our gnomes. Without him, you will likely lose your soul crystals.”
On the other side.
Just as Cartier finished speaking, Edil’s brows furrowed tightly. It was clear that he was unhappy.
Eh?
This old thing actually dared to use the soul crystals as a reason to pressure me?
Do you want to die?!
Immediately after, he shouted in a deep voice, “There are no soul crystals. Using your heads to refine soul power is the same! As for that little brat, hand him over!”
His voice now held a hint of severity.
Of course, from his point of view, there was basically no deviation from what he was going to do next.
The old immortal gnome opposite him would immediately hand Mike over. After that, he would definitely bow and beg for mercy, pleading for his and even his clansmen’s lives to be spared.
After all, the effects of refining soul power from the heads of these gnomes were pretty good. This time, it would be his granddaughter’s turn to sacrifice her head. Besides, he had already angered him this time, so he would surely want to make up for his mistake earlier.
However.
In the next second, something that shocked everyone happened.
Cartier actually carried the weakened Mike on his back and rushed towards the back of the mountain.
As he ran, he roared at all the goblins, “Run! To the back of the mountain!”
Hearing the village chief’s order, Phyllis and the other gnomes carried Lilian and rushed towards the back of the mountain.
At the same time, they were shocked.
The back of the mountain?
There was something ominous there!
Why would they go there?
Could it be…
No matter how much they thought about it, all the gnomes still rushed towards the back of the mountain.
Seeing this, Edil’s face became as dark as water.
He waved the long knife in his hand and pointed in the direction of where they were running and shouted, “Chase after them! Capture all these lowly gnomes!”
“Yes!”
After receiving the order, the other members of the mercenary group immediately set off on their horses.
However, no matter how fast they moved, their speed was still not as fast as the gnomes.
After all, gnomes were born to be close to the Earth. Even though they were short, their running speed was not slow. It was even very fast.
Whoosh!
They quickly disappeared in front of all the members of the mercenary group.
When he saw this, not only did Edil not look gloomy, he even looked pleased.
In his opinion, no matter how fast these cursed gnomes were, they would not be able to escape this area.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they caught up to them.
However, he was not even willing to give them this amount of time.
Edil closed his eyes and formed an unknown seal in his hand. Then, he shouted in a low voice, “Great Tanatos, please give me strength. Drink!”
He then shouted.
Dozens of dead souls merged with the members of the mercenary group that were present.
In less than a few seconds, the ten members of the mercenary group cried like ghosts and howled like wolves. They became a combination of a human and a beast.
Fangs gradually grew out of their mouths, and their eyes slowly became as vicious as wolves. Sharp claws slowly grew out of their fingers, and their skin turned white. At the same time, their blood vessels were filled with a dark color.
This was a product of dark magic, a werewolf!
Seeing this scene, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. They all felt an incomparable fear for this strange creature.
In this area where Beastmasters couldn’t summon their subdued beasts, the evil werewolf produced by Dark Magic was the most powerful human-shaped Fierce Beast!
There was no one like it!
No one could defeat it!
The five senses of werewolves were extremely outstanding, especially their sense of smell when it came to fresh blood. As long as they could smell the scent, they would definitely be able to capture the prey on the spot, all the way until the prey was killed!
“Go, my child, tear apart all the targets on the spot!”
“Roar!!”
“Roar!!”
“Roar!!”
Amidst the roars, the werewolves began to move.
