On the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains, in the Wolf Valley.
It has been over a month since the Adventurer's Guild's Osborne Town branch announced the [Special Investigation Mission for the Phantom Wolf Valley Incident Team].
The adventure groups that rushed into the destroyed Wolf Valley to accept the mission finally understood what it meant that there is no free lunch in the world.
At the beginning, when they entered the Wolf Valley, it was like picking up gold mines on the ground. They could find magic crystals scattered in the valley by just taking a few steps.
Although most of them were first- and second-level magic crystals, it was still a considerable income for the lower-level adventurers who had been struggling in Osborne Town for years.
But when they went deeper into the valley and some people picked up the black and white dark and light dual-attribute magic crystals one after another, the situation began to change subtly.
Although these adventurers had never seen this peculiar dual-attribute magic crystal, every adventurer knew that this thing could definitely be sold at a high price.
So when the news that "there are a large number of dark and light dual-attribute magic crystals underground in the Phantom Wolf King's lair" spread rapidly among the adventurers for unknown reasons.
Almost no one in the adventure group that entered the Phantom Wolf Valley was cautious about the risks there, and they all swarmed towards the Phantom Wolf King's lair.
Magic crystals with both dark and light attributes do exist.
However, the ones hiding underground in that nest are all living ghost wolves with both dark and light attributes!
Driven by greed, the adventure group hastily formed by a large number of low-level professionals actually dared to rely on their numerical advantage to launch an attack on the group of dark and light dual-attribute ghost wolves underground.
However, they seemed extremely vulnerable in front of those dual-attribute ghost wolves whose average strength had reached the second level and possessed both dark erosion and holy light enhancement abilities.
As soon as they made contact, the adventurers fell like straw.
On just the first full day of action after the mission was released, the adventurers who flocked into the underground lair of the Phantom Wolf King suffered a devastating blow.
The chaotic encounter, the narrow terrain, and the Phantom Wolf's bizarre and difficult-to-defend dual-attribute attacks resulted in more than 230 casualties. Wailing and the smell of blood once filled the entire bottom of the valley.
The news shocked everyone.
It was not until the next day that the elite forces of the Lily Kingdom Magic Association and the Holy Light Church finally arrived and quickly blocked the entire Wolf Valley.
While cleaning up the battlefield and conducting in-depth exploration, a surprising discovery came to light.
Hidden beneath the deepest rock layer of the Wolf King's lair is a one-way space teleportation magic circle.
When a magician from the Magic Association discovered this teleportation array, he even saw two third-level ghost wolves being teleported from the opposite side.
The Magic Association and the Holy Light Church immediately destroyed this potential source of danger. It was generally believed at the time that the root cause of the incident in Phantom Wolf Valley had been cut off.
However, just five days later, a new disaster began to spread.
Those adventurers who entered the Wolf Valley on the first day, especially those who went deep into the underground area of the nest and survived, all had strange changes in their bodies.
A dark magic power completely different from anything the Church of Holy Light had ever encountered had infiltrated deep into their bodies, like a cancer in their bones.
Those who are eroded will fall into a manic and aggressive frenzy without warning, with bloodshot eyes, increased strength but loss of sanity, and will attack indiscriminately.
What surprised the adventurers even more was that the "Holy Light Purification" that the Church of Holy Light was so proud of had little effect when faced with this stubborn dark erosion.
The pure power of holy light shines on the eroded person, but can only temporarily suppress his frenzy symptoms.
The dark magic entrenched in the flesh and even the depths of the soul resisted stubbornly as if it had life, and could not be completely expelled or purified. The light dissipated, and the darkness reappeared like a maggot on the tarsus.
Most of the adventure team members who had luckily escaped the disaster by accepting the [Special Investigation Mission of the Phantom Wolf Valley Incident Team] are now isolated by the joint forces of the Dragon Slayer City Guards and the Holy Light Church in a temporary adventurer camp in the north of Osborne Town.
A month passed, and their daily activities were limited to a small camp.
Not to mention going out on adventures to obtain materials and make money, these adventurers even suspect that one day the group of priests of the Church of Holy Light outside will turn into the ruthless Holy Knights.
Then the Pope announced that they were heretics beyond redemption and that they should all be purified with holy fire.
"Lovers of Holy Light, He will not abandon any innocent believer."
Ruby Montoya, with her plump breasts and wearing a black nun's robe, looked tired as she comforted the adventurers who came for examination.
"But I'm not a believer in the Holy Light! Sister! You won't only save believers in the Holy Light, right?"
“…”
Sister Ruby Montoya felt the other party's words pierce her heart, almost causing her to instinctively mobilize the burning holy flame in her body.
She quickly turned around and left the tent, letting another friendly-looking priest take her place.
As a "Sister of Flame" who just graduated from the Holy Monastery, majoring in combat.
Her specialty is to purify visible evil with the sacred flame of holy light, rather than sitting here and using pale and powerless words to appease a group of "time bombs" that may explode at any time.
She was able to restrain her professional instincts and not use holy flames to burn those adventurers and the damned darkness into ashes when the dark erosion broke out in them. This was the result of her praying to the holy scriptures day and night and using all her life's cultivation.
"Holy Light lover...lover...what the hell is lover!"
Ruby growled in annoyance and casually slammed the heavy holy book onto the simple table, kicking up a small cloud of dust.
As a Sister of the Flame, the prayers she had learned never mentioned the lover of Holy Light!
She stood up suddenly, and the hem of her black nun's robe drew a sharp arc.
No, this can't go on.
Despair spread in the camp like a plague. The purifying light of the Holy Light grew dimmer and dimmer, while the eyes of the colleagues of the Church of Holy Light and the guards of Dragon Slayer City outside grew increasingly cold and vigilant.
She had to do something.
She needed Kyle Spin.
The most outstanding student who shone brightly at the graduation ceremony of this Holy Monastery, the clergyman who was highly expected by the bishops and was destined to enter the core of the Holy See in the future.
I heard that a while ago he solved the corruption crisis of a fifth-level priest bishop in Shichui Town and won the praise of Lord Alfonso.
At this moment, the future rising star of the Dragon Slaying City Diocese was also trapped in this damn temporary camp in the north of Osborne Town.
Over the past month, he had almost exhausted every bit of his Holy Light power just to suppress the strange dark magic that was growing like living things in the adventurers' bodies and resisting purification.
When Ruby found him, Kyle was leaning against a tent pillar, his eyes closed.
A layer of deep fatigue covered his handsome face, the dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible, and his blond hair, which was always neatly combed, was now a little messy.
