“This is getting more and more interesting.” Bishop Moka, or rather, Drogo?
He was watching the grand feast from the ruins of the South Gate at that moment.
The Mother Tree truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful ruler from the previous era. Although it was ultimately ambushed and injured, it was able to strengthen a beast to this extent as soon as it awoke!
Indeed, the Ghostfire Bear's footprints covered almost half of Mirror Lake City, and the beautiful female angel only managed to severely injure it after using Judgment three times in a row.
But Moka knew that the mother tree would soon restore the Ghostfire Bear's fighting strength.
The streets are teeming with catalyzed zombies; these low-level dark creatures have successfully prevented the army from gathering.
"That's strange, how can these zombies hold out for so long?" Moka wondered.
These fragile, low-level creatures surprisingly played a crucial role in the urban warfare, even preventing a large number of knightly orders from providing reinforcements.
"It's a good thing, and a bad thing." Moka didn't want to get entangled with those zombies.
He was going to find Elsie to complete the Mother Tree's mission.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Oh, the little wolfhound is back?" Moka noticed that it was Rachel, who had turned into a zombie.
Although she only had half a body, her brain was intact, and under the influence of the zombie transformation, her werewolf bloodline was fully revealed.
His hands transformed into sharp wolf claws, and his face became extremely distorted and ferocious.
"Huh? What's wrong with your eyes?" Moka noticed that Rachel's eyes had turned blue, and that she had double pupils!
As is well known, double pupils were a symbol of evil in the Middle Ages.
"Never mind, have you found Elsie's location yet?"
Rachel stared at Moka with her four eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed her claws at the north gate.
"I see, let's go!" Moka ignored Rachel's condition, summoned a giant forest wolf, jumped onto its back, and started running wildly.
Rachel tilted her head, and she felt...wonderful?
She gazed at the clock tower in the city center, where a blue-eyed zombie stood atop the tower, holding a shield in his left hand and a broken sword in his right, staring at the entire Mirror Lake City.
“Wang… Freedom… Black Crown… Connor? Connor! Connor!!!” Rachel scratched her exposed head, her eyes turning extremely fierce.
"kill!"
...
"Attack from both sides!"
From the north gate, vampire cavalry were trampling the zombies surging towards them.
Karin fought the Heterochromatic and Deadeye alone, but she was clearly in the upper hand.
"Your Majesty, leave this to us." Alto arrived late, carrying the wronged spirit.
His headless body was terrifying no matter how you looked at it!
Why is your voice coming from behind your cloak? Can you even see where you're going?!
“Your Majesty, you need not worry.” Otto drew his longsword from its sheath: “As a headless soldier, my head is my only weakness. As long as I hide it, I am basically invincible.”
Elsie: "..."
She watched silently as the Alto drove away from the battlefield and disappeared at the end of the street. Her voice trailed off, growing fainter and fainter...
So! You really can't see it!!!
Forget about him, leaving this to Karen should be enough.
El glanced at Karin, who seemed to be toying with him and didn't intend to finish off her opponent too quickly.
Kaelin noticed Elsie's gaze and nodded, indicating that she could handle the situation entirely.
Therefore, we should also thoroughly address the root cause of everything.
Elsie, the protagonist of our story is finally about to reach the end of this short tale.
She embarked on this wrong path, her steps steady and powerful. She knew her mission: to kill Keomi and prevent the earthquake. Ultimately… she lost her way.
"..." Elsie: →_→
The atmosphere had been built up to this point, but unfortunately, she got lost.
Although her senses allowed her to know the direction of the clock tower, the numerous houses and intricate streets along the way prevented her from reaching it in time.
"My lord!" The sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, and Connor's figure appeared.
He glanced at the vampire cavalry and zombies fighting each other at the north gate, and then at Elsie, who was very calm at the moment.
Deep down, he felt that he had underestimated Elsie, the most promising offspring of the Tilan family.
“My lord, I will escort you back to the inn!” Connor said, dismounting.
“The hotel can’t save me.” Elsie glanced at Connor.
Connor was startled by the look in her eyes. He realized that he hadn't paid much attention to Elsie's growth since then.
In just a few months, she had grown to the same height as Windsor and gradually moved away from being completely obedient; she began to have her own ideas.
Her fluency in language has also improved, perhaps this is the effect of the bloodline of the hero?
“My lord, your knights are stationed at the inn. No matter what dangers may arise, we will ensure your survival,” Connor said firmly.
However, Elsie shook her head, gazing in the direction of the clock tower: "I can sense a calamity approaching, one that you cannot stop."
"Constantly running away will only make me lose more..."
"Connor, tell me!"
Elsie's expression turned serious: "How do I get to the clock tower?"
Connor: "..."
[Damn, I even got my pants... I even got my melon ready, and you still want me to ask for directions?!]
...
On a sunless night, even the stars avoided the full moon in the sky.
This is Mirror Lake City, the face of the Saijing Royal Family, and also today's victim. With the fire at the south gate and the battle between the Ghostfire Bear and the Paladins, the commoners are forced to migrate north.
Dean Xinglan generously opened the academy gates, sheltering the refugees, while the protective barrier inside prevented the little zombies from entering.
As the knights gradually regrouped, the situation on the outskirts of the battlefield improved significantly.
In some areas, soldiers cheered the end of the calamity, rushing excitedly into taverns to drink heavily, unaware that a real disaster was about to strike.
[Kaiomi, the evil Blackcrown King, the mastermind of natural disasters and earthquakes, is brewing a massive earthquake that will annihilate the city from the clock tower.]
No one noticed his presence, nor did anyone discover his intentions, except... Elsie.
On the street, Connor and Elsie rode their horses together toward the clock tower.
"Is that it?" Connor looked at the clock tower through his helmet. There was a small black dot on the clock tower, but in the darkness, it was impossible to see what it was.
“That’s right, next up is my duel with him.” Elsie stared at Keomi.
However, the next moment, Keomi opened his eyes and stared at Elsie as well.
"!!!"
【！！！】
Elsie and the narrator were both shocked!
Wait! Why are his eyes red?!
That's right, based on my perception, his energy is indeed the highest, undoubtedly the Black Crown King, but why are his eyes red!?
and……
“He’s watching me, he noticed me, but…” Elsie whispered, “I could feel it…”
"His despair and helplessness, his sorrow and anger..."
【But you can't stop, Elsie! An earthquake... is coming!】
