"ah!!"

Is let out a horrified scream.

His body was almost instantly washed away by the black and red flames; his flesh and blood disappeared instantly, leaving no trace of him.

Only the skeletons were left of Is's body, which were the essence of Asmonlai's body. However, those skeletons did not last long and disappeared completely in the endless black and red flames.

The entire underground cave was filled with endless black and red flames that kept echoing and flowing.

Morin was floating in the air, his expression was extremely calm, and various intertwined colors were changing in his eyes, but in the end, all the colors turned into a deep black and red.

The black and red flames danced in Morin's eyes, and slowly disappeared after a long time.

As if he had thought of something, Morin waved his hand, and immediately, a dark red ball of light flew out from the ground and hovered in front of him.

The dark red glow dissipated, revealing what was inside.

It is the head of Is.

Is's face was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, and he still looked horrified. He seemed to have no breath at all, but Morin could still sense a faint soul fluctuation in Is's head.

"Is, I know you're still alive."

Morin chuckled and said, "I am very interested in Asmonlai, so, Yisi, don't be anxious. We have time, so take your time."

Is's head suddenly shook violently, but Morin ignored it. He threw it into the void pocket.

Neither the devil fruit nor the tree was damaged, which was of course a result of Morin's deliberate control.

He grabbed the tree and all the devil fruits with his palm.

After a careful look, Morin discovered that there was nothing valuable in the entire underground cave.

It's time to leave.

Maureen walked out of the underground cave and came to Devil's Island.

The entire Devil's Island was shaking constantly. There were bursts of muffled thunder-like sounds, rocks rolling down, as if plates were constantly moving, explosions sounded, black smoke columns rushed up to the sky, and the volcano was erupting violently.

Obviously, this change was caused by the battle between Morin and others in the underground cave.

Morin roared, he unfolded his true snake form, fluttered his wings slightly, and disappeared almost instantly.

He rushed out of Devil's Island, successfully crossed the Devil's Sea, and then flew towards Changge Fortress according to the direction recorded by the chip.

………………

On the way back, Morin was attacked by some monsters, but Morin's strength was no longer what it used to be, and he easily killed those monsters.

When approaching Changge Fortress, Morin changed back into human form, then moved his body and slowly floated to the ground.

"It's the Holy Lord, it's the Holy Lord!"

The knights on the city wall discovered Morin and there was a commotion.

Soon, Gray and Yusato appeared. Gray was a staunch member of the Holy Lord faction, while Yusato was the garrison knight in charge of the Longsong Fortress.

"Lord Holy Lord!"

"you……"

Many knights showed surprise and disbelief on their faces.

Morin landed on the city wall. He looked at the many knights who were hurriedly climbing up the city wall, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Morin asked.

"Lord Saint, you... aren't you dead?"

Gray looked at Maureen, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Dead?

Maureen was surprised.

After some conversation between Grayusato and the many knights present, Morin finally understood what was going on.

Some time ago, Morin went to track down the Scarlet Rat Man, but he was gone for a long time and no news came back. Everyone was shocked at first, but as time passed, they began to feel uneasy.

Later, rumors began to spread throughout the human area that Morin had died outside.

Those rumors spread very quickly and became widespread in an instant. Almost everyone in the human area knew about it.

Afterwards, more things happened.

Some people said that Morin was killed by a powerful dark beast, some said that Morin was lost in the wilderness outside and couldn't find the way back to the human area, and some said that Morin was trapped and couldn't get out for the time being.

Everyone was talking about it, feeling very uneasy.

After all, Maureen never showed up.

Finally, some knights got drunk and told the truth in the tavern.

"I saw the Holy Lord being killed by a huge dark beast outside. His body was torn into pieces, and the pieces were all over the sky..."

"Are you kidding me? How is that possible?!"

"Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes, with my own eyes!"

As the rumor spread, everyone had a subtle impression in their mind:

Maureen is dead, but his body has not been found and we don't know how he died.

But he was definitely dead.

"The news was too much and too realistic, so we thought you were dead. Now it's a good thing that you're back safely." Yusato's voice was very respectful.

Morin nodded slightly and said nothing.

It seems that some people don't want him to be the Holy Lord, and there are still many people among humans who are stirring up trouble.

"Lord Saint, the human race is not in a good condition. Not only is it because you haven't returned for a long time, so people are worried, but also, humans have encountered a monster."

Gray spoke, holding the cross sword at his waist with a serious look on his face, "That kind of monster is called Black Soya. Their upper body looks like humans, and their lower body has a long snake tail."

"Although those snake people look strange, they are very powerful. Our human knights are no match for them at all."

"We have only encountered a small part of them. It is said that there are still some powerful elders and high-ranking officials in the Black Soya Snake Tribe. If we face them, it will be really difficult."

Gray pursed his lips.

"Is that so? It seems that a lot of things happened during the time I was away." Mo Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon he laughed and said, "But this is also good, also good."

"The Black Soya Snake Tribe, and the disgusting little rats in the human area, haha, you really want to die."

Morin thought so in his heart.

After this expedition to Devil's Island, Morin's strength has been greatly improved. He is a top-level second-level wizard and is only one step away from becoming a third-level wizard.

Now, the rules of the Purgatory World have changed, and all powerful creatures are inevitably suppressed. Therefore, Morin is the most powerful existence in the current Purgatory World.

He just pushed forward directly, no matter if they were humans with ulterior motives or the Black Soya Snake Tribe, Morin could easily suppress them.

But Morin didn't intend to do that.

It's time for humans to clean up. The little mice want to run to the front, and the snake people want to do other things. It's a good opportunity to solve them all at once, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Okay, I got it, Gray, make arrangements and prepare hot water and food."

Mo Lin stretched and said, "I'll take a rest first."

………………

The Black Soya Snakeman Tribe.

hall.

The lights were shining and the snake people were gathering together.

They are discussing what to do next.

"Xolon, we have just come into contact with humans, and some of them are willing to cooperate with us and help us capture the human area."

The Fifth Elder Pari had an expression of disbelief on his face, but more of excitement, and said: "Those people said that they hope to gain benefits later, and I hope you can guarantee it."

"What guarantees? Who can give guarantees to people who are willing to betray even their own people?"

Xolon sneered.

"Of course the promise is false. Once we occupy the human area, we will kill them all and feed the ancestral snake."

"After all, the ancestral snake needs to grow, and blood food is always indispensable."

Pari said with a smile.

"Yes, the ancestor snake will soon complete its growth. It is an honor for those humans to serve as sacrifices for the ancestor snake's transformation." An elder with a snake body covered with emerald green scales also spoke up.

"Xolon, seize this opportunity and take action before their human leader returns."

The fifth elder Pari persuaded Xolon.

"Human Saint Lord? Humph, in front of me, that human Saint Lord is nothing, not to mention the elders and the powerful ancestor snake."

Xollon snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain.

During this period of time, Xoron was not idle. He kept interrogating the knights and soon found out the strength of the powerful humans.

Weak, very weak.

Human beings are really weak.

With humans so weak, how strong can the so-called Holy Lord be? ? "Well, then, let's go."

"There are disloyal humans in the United Human Zone. We will attack next."

Xolon stood up. He was tall and his loud voice kept echoing. He said, "I will occupy the human area. When my brother returns after completing his mission, I will give him those humans as gifts."
