Chapter 106 Chaos Egg

Running does not exist.

Rather than such a vulgar statement, Luo Yan would rather call it a strategic shift.

What frightened him was not only the mad knight who had grown a fourth arm, but more importantly the ever-widening crack right above his head.

The crack surrounding the crimson beam seemed to be expanding, as if something was being released from there.

The ritual of chaos is complete.

He had done everything he could to weaken the power of chaos as much as possible.

Before this terrifying force stabilizes, perhaps the best option at this moment is to stay away from it and wait and see.

Just as Luo Yan leaped from one rooftop to another, flying across the streets and accelerating towards the nearest wall of the town, a pitch-black ripple suddenly emerged from the deep red beam of light connecting the ground and the dome, and quickly spread in all directions!

The pitch-black ripples were like ocean waves, sweeping across the stone or wooden buildings and penetrating through them unhindered.

At this moment, the adventurers on the street were looking up at the sky, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the blood-red beam of light.

It was not until the pitch-black waves swept across their chests that the adventurers standing on the street vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"What is that?!"

"Something...seems to have passed through my body!"

"Did you all see it?!"

“Incredible…”

The seeds of doubt were sown along with the dark ripples and planted in the hearts of almost every adventurer present.

They looked around, worried, and whispered... uncontrollably offering their fear to the irresistible power.

"I have a bad feeling, we'd better get out of here quickly..."

"Saint Sith above... please bless your believers..."

"Does anyone know what the ripples just now were?! And this scarlet pillar...what on earth is it trying to do?!"

"Could it be... that the Demon King has returned?!"

"No, I don't think it's the power of Hell—"

At this time, a middle-aged adventurer in his forties carrying a battle axe suddenly shouted loudly.

"It's not the Demon King! It's Novel! I forgot who told me, but just now... I seemed to hear this name!"

Nowell...

The strange fog!

He is the embodiment of knowledge and conspiracy, the source of madness and fantasy, and one of the four gods who rule the Chaos Realm!

That's not something that can be openly discussed on the surface.

However, this problem does not exist in this safe zone located on the fourth floor of the maze and operated by the Adventurer's Guild.

As people whispered and spread Novel's name, more and more people heard the whispers.

At first there were ten people.

Later, there were hundreds of people——

In the end, thousands of people were involved!

As the rumors spread from mouth to mouth, the indescribable majestic image gradually became clear in everyone's mind.

It was a body of smoke composed of countless distorted faces and endless nightmares.

Every lip that opened and closed was whispering, telling secrets that were enough to drive a person crazy just by hearing them.

The seeds planted by the black ripples began to sprout, and as the panic spread, they grew stronger and stronger, eventually stretching out twisted branches.

The thick gray fog not only obscured everyone's eyes, but also sealed their minds and souls, and even their souls fell into the boundless abyss.

In the end, everyone was surrounded by the endless darkness and became Novel's mouthpiece, puppets manipulated by the conspiracy.

Everyone is a lunatic.

It is also a breeding ground for chaos.

The middle-aged adventurer who first called out Novel's name was the first to embrace this boundless power.

A thin blood-red line split from the blood-colored beam of light and pierced his head like an arrow.

The moment he was hit by the blood line, his pupils were immediately filled with turbid mist, and then the misty mist poured out from his mouth and nose.

The thick smoke wrapped around him like silk, gradually turning into a scarlet cocoon.

That is the egg that breeds chaos!

Finally, someone realized that something was wrong, woke up from the nightmare, and shouted at the crowd at the top of his lungs.

"Keep your head down!"

"Don't look at it!"

The sound woke up some people.

After coming to their senses, they started running out of the town.

However, that sober voice was still too small.

As more and more people were drawn into it, lines of blood gradually intertwined into a huge net in the sky above the town.

And those crooked streets and alleys were full of Chaos Eggs entangled by the red lines spit out by the scarlet blood column! Looking at the street scene flying by below him, Luo Yan's face showed a look of astonishment.

“I’ll go…”

Are they going to sacrifice the entire settlement? ! "Youyou, what on earth is going on?!"

Youyou, who was floating beside Luo Yan, said nervously.

"I, I, I, I don't know either, Lord Demon. Anyway, we should leave here as soon as possible... I feel like those red eggs are hatching something incredible."

If this is true, isn't this the best time to destroy them? Just as Luo Yan was thinking this, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly sounded from above his head, overwhelming all the noisy and chaotic sounds.

“Buzz——!”

The whole world suddenly became quiet.

The crack torn by the scarlet blood column suddenly became larger, and then a huge head made of smoke stretched out from the crack that looked like an abyss.

It was a face without any facial features, or rather, His facial features were completely hidden in the scarlet fog.

A creepy feeling crept into Luo Yan's heart.

Although he did not meet the faceless man's eyes, he could still clearly feel the pair of eyes hidden behind the mist, looking at him proudly.

Nowell...

That is His name.

He heard the whispers in the mist.

"You can't escape..."

Escape? "Which eye of yours saw me escape!"

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows and retorted without any hesitation.

“This is called strategic shift!”

The mysterious whisper was silent for a few seconds, and then a light laugh came out, followed by words that gave Luo Yan goosebumps all over his body.

"I was not mistaken..."

"You're an interesting guy."

"I will definitely get you."

…

The white fog covering Misty Town was dyed red by the blood-red beams of light.

Looking at the large nets that appeared out of nowhere on the street, the Knights stationed in the "Garden Rest" all showed surprised expressions.

"What is this?!"

Looking up at the sky outside the window, Alex muttered to himself as he stared at the huge net covering the dome.

"That's the evil spirit from Chaos! Don't listen to that guy's mumbling!"

The armed priest drew out his mace, chanted a spell, and shouted to the people around him, "Come closer to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a holy light emerged from the air and enveloped the entire hotel.

It was not only him who chanted the spell, but also other priests in the group.

Bathed in that holy light, Alex felt his groggy brain become much clearer, and the whispering in his ears quickly disappeared.

It seems that the evil spirit of chaos is not omnipotent and is still evil enough to be dispelled by holy light.

Upon discovering this sanctuary guarded by holy light, many people on the street who had not yet been corrupted by the power of chaos rushed in.

Among them are adventurers, merchants, employees of the Adventurer's Guild, and mercenary guards...

The already crowded hotel lobby became even more crowded, and even the old stairs were full of people.

The frightened people exchanged terrified glances and whispered in despair.

"Saint Sith above..."

"The evil spirit of chaos...how could it appear here?!"

"Could it be that Hell and Chaos are colluding together?"

"This has never happened before! Now I need you to shut up and listen to me!"

Interrupting the whispered conversation, the Knight Commander's deputy stared at the increasingly ominous fog outside the window and spoke in a serious voice.

"The sacred barrier can't hold out for much longer. We must leave here as soon as possible!"

The armed priest who was casting a spell with a mace turned his head and looked at him.

"What about Knight Commander Mel?"

Glancing around at the frightened faces in the inn lobby, the Knight Commander's deputy gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"I'll take a few brothers with me to find him! The rest of you will follow Charles and escort the adventurers and civilians to evacuate!"

Adventurers don't actually need an escort, but besides adventurers, there are many ordinary civilians here.

For example, the hotel owner, the chef, the waiter, etc.

The Knights of the Order of the Trident are obliged to protect the people of Grand Duke Campbell and guard the people who serve Saint Sith.

Even though this is not the territory of Grand Duke Campbell, the believers here are not very devout.

The armed priest named Charles nodded, shook the Knight Commander's deputy's shoulder and said "take care", then looked seriously at the group of guests staying in the hotel and the merchants and adventurers who ran in to seek refuge.

"You've seen the situation here. This is not a place we can stay any longer. We plan to evacuate here before the situation gets worse! At least leave the fourth floor of the maze! I won't force you all to follow us, and in fact we can't guarantee everyone's safety, but if you are willing to trust us, then follow us!"

No one wants to stay here any longer.

Although the hotel owner was reluctant to leave the hotel, he had no choice but to make the painful decision when he saw that everyone was planning to leave.

I hope his shop is still there when this is all over...

A group of people went their separate ways.

The Knight Commander's deputy led ten knights to the center of the town, while the armed priest named Charles led the others to the nearest city gate.

The guards at the city gate had all fled, and those who did not have time to escape were also wrapped in the scarlet eggs.

This is simply a natural disaster...

Alex couldn't help but think in his mind.

Just as a group of people rushed to the gate of the town wall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“Lolo?!”

wrong--

That face was clearly the person on the wanted poster.

Apparently he wasn't the only one who noticed something.

All the members of the Knights Templar, including Charles, put their hands on their weapons and looked at the man standing at the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Are you Miranda?!" Charles was the first to break the silence. He walked forward with a mace in his hand, staring at him intently.

"Miranda?"

Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Have you not realized yet that you have been tricked?"

Charles stared at him intently.

"What's the meaning……"

Luo Yan said with a calm expression.

"The charges on the wanted warrant are all false. The guy named Miranda is the original Mad Talker, and your Knight Commander is the second one."

Charles did not say a word. The knight next to him drew his sword first and pointed the blade at him with an angry look.

"What a blasphemy... Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

"You don't have to believe it. You just need to answer me, if the murderer you are chasing is the right one, why did the Chaos Ritual still complete?"

Luo Yan didn't look at the knight, but instead turned his gaze to the combat priest holding the mace.

Based on his understanding of human society on the surface, most of these priests had received professional education in seminaries.

Even though human churches may not teach them the specifics of chaos rituals, they will at least explain the relevant principles to them.

The evil spirit in charge of destruction and killing needs to be pleased with the bloodiest slaughter, while the evil spirit in charge of conspiracy naturally needs conspiracy and lies as sacrifices...

Obviously.

If they had been on the right track from the beginning, there would have been no chance for Novel to come, and the cost of corruption would not have to be borne by the residents of Misty Town.

Just as Luo Yan expected, Charles's face showed a look of surprise.

Without stopping, Luo Yan continued to speak while the iron was hot.

"If I'm not mistaken, you killed eleven suspects during the interrogation."

"Suspects?! They are not suspects! We saw with our own eyes the aura of evil spirits emanating from them—" The young knight who pointed his sword at him tried to interrupt him again, but this time he was stopped by Charles who was standing beside him.

Charles stared at Luo Yan intently and asked in a serious tone.

"How do you know?"

Luo Yan said calmly.

"Because I saw twelve sacrifices flying into the air. They were the souls of the innocent dead, and the twelfth sacrifice was Miranda himself, the guy who escaped through the window... Unfortunately, he was just killed by your Knight Commander."

As he spoke, Luo Yan glanced at the forest outside the city gate with disdain.

"This coward... I didn't care about his plotting against me, and even pulled him back from the brink of death, but he just ran away without a trace."

Faced with the indisputable truth, the knights present all showed wavering expressions... including the fool who drew his sword and pointed it at him.

Luo Yan could see that they were truly devout believers.

If they had not felt a trace of awe, they would not have had to show any hesitation or remorse for their momentary confusion.

Charles took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

Compared to confessing in front of the cross, there is something more important now——

"I don't believe that Knight Commander Mel would betray Saint Sith, but I admit that what you said makes some sense. We may have been deceived by the strange fog and unknowingly became accomplices of the evil spirit... I will take him and everyone else to the church in Thunder City to confess."

After a pause, he looked at Luo Yan and continued.

"That's what happened later. Now... I want to know who you are?"

Luo Yan looked straight into his eyes.

"You can guess who I am, but I'm sure if I tell you here, there will be no chance of our cooperation."

Charles frowned.

"cooperate?"

"That's right," Luo Yan looked up at the deep red blood column and the faceless head that was emerging from the crack, "Just this once, the true lord of Misty Town wants to join hands with you."

…

On the other side, in the center of Misty Town, the disheveled Knight Commander Mel was stumbling out of the alley.

A crimson fog enveloped everything.

Looking at the scarlet follicles on the street, an intoxicated and even crazy laugh gradually appeared on that enthusiastic face.

"Heaven is standing right here! The door of truth is opening to me! Angel's eggs... Is there anything that can prove that this is heaven better than this!"

“Hahahaha… I was right! I was the only one who discovered… a secret that neither the Pope nor the God-chosen Emperor had discovered!”

“We must tell more people about this!”

Hurried footsteps were heard in the distance, and eleven knights were running along the corroded street, and the man leading them was his deputy.

Looking at the knight commander who had grown four arms, the deputy couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his pupils, filled with surprise, trembled slightly.

That is...

Their superior?!

"Mel White..." He called out his commander's name unconsciously, trying to wake him up, "Can you hear me?"

As he spoke, his right hand had already pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"Ah, Verne... you're here," Mel smiled happily at his beloved subordinates and enthusiastically opened his arms to welcome them. "You came at the right time. I discovered an incredible secret and was about to share it with you... guess what happened?"

"Saint Sis and Novel are actually the same person. No one has guessed such an obvious truth. It turns out that the truth is only in the hands of truly smart people—"

"What a blasphemy!!"

Before he could finish his words, the knight standing next to Verne had already drawn his sword and ran towards Knight Commander Mel with a roar.

This was the last bit of dignity he could offer his superior - to kill him before he could blaspheme the great Saint Sith.

However, he still underestimated the power of the Chosen One.

The power was so extraordinary that even the devil chose to temporarily avoid it.

A scarlet light flashed, and before the charging knight could swing his sword, he turned into a blood rain and dissipated into the red mist.

The streets were deathly silent.

All the knights, including Verne, stared at him.

So fast——

They didn't even see what was happening! At this moment, the follicles all over the street underwent new changes, and the first cocoons to condense were the first to sprout scarlet buds.

"ah--!"

A shrill cry came out along with the strong arms breaking out of the shell, and a four-armed and two-legged monster emerged from the follicle.

It has no head.

Or rather, the body is its head.

A bloody mouth opened from the belly button, and a two-meter-long tongue stretched out like a python, dancing in the blood-colored mist along with the waving long arms.

“…Heart-eating demon.”

An expression of despair appeared on every face.

Looking at his subordinates who looked as pale as death, Meier laughed happily again.

"See? My angels are growing stronger and stronger. Their wings are so beautiful... Do you want me to get you a pair?"

"Prepare for battle!!!" Verne roared in despair, drew his sword and rushed towards his former superior.

He knew it was pointless.

But he had no choice!

Looking at this group of ants who couldn't accept reality, Mel's face was filled with disgust from the bottom of his heart.

"Tsk...you are overestimating yourself."

Whatever.

Let the flesh and blood of these guys feed his hungry servants.

"Kill them all!"

"ah--!"

The screaming Heart-Eating Demons rushed forward, and in just a few breaths, they submerged the remaining ten knights in the flesh-red ocean.

Looking at the dismembered former subordinates, a cruel smile appeared on Mel's face, and he looked across the sea of ​​blood towards the northern city gate.

Novel is craving for more sacrifices—

We have to feed the adult.
