Chapter 104: The Night of Terror in Atad City, Adelaide Kingdom’s Strategic Border Town (Part 3)

Because Demon Princess Andrea had been knocked down, the evil spirits descending from the sky that she had set up before collapsed by itself. That extremely abominable rainstorm also quickly dispersed on its own. However, because of the undead calamity, Atad still changed into hell on the human world. The sounds of people running everywhere while screaming in despair and the guttural growls of the Undead attacking and biting resounded throughout its once peaceful, luxurious streets.

The death qi spread all over far too fast for any attempts to stem its expansion to occur. In addition, since it was such a rainy night, most of the residents of Atad were fast asleep instead of on the streets. They were caught unprepared, so most didn’t even get the time to react. The death qi took their lives and not long after dying, they would automatically turn into Undead. Soon afterward under the urge of their Undead instincts, upon smelling the breath of they living, they chased and killed after those still alive residents, further increasing the number of Undead.

The spread of the Undead calamity was similar to a virus infection. It was best to stop an Undead calamity within one day of its eruption. Unfortunately, Atad didn’t have a branch of Light Church because Earl Harrison was quite stingy and disliked how he would have had to pay a big fee monthly to the Church if a branch had been built, so he had stubbornly rejected the requests of Light Church to dispatch some clergy and build a branch church here. He claimed that Atad was blessed and under the protection of god. Not to mention an undead calamity, not even a single undead would appear here.

Now, Earl Harrison had to eat his own bitter fruit. The Undead calamity had erupted from his own residence palace; moreover, it had been triggered by his third son Hal. In accordance with the scale of this Undead calamity, even ordinary bishops wouldn’t be able to deal with it. Once tens of thousands of people in Atad turned into Undead, Light Church would need to dispatch a Holy Knight Regiment and Divine Judgement Regiment as well as a high-level archbishop to deal with it. Even with that, there was just a 50-50% chance of winning. If there was a Skeleton King or some other more powerful undead existence among the undead army, then the contemporary Light Pope would have to personally enter the stage to have the slightest chance of suppressing this calamity.

In the worst case scenario, Light Pope might even need to open a God Attracting Ritual to request Divine Realm to dispatch a battle angel to help. Even the supreme existence of the Human Race could only invite the Angel Race; he couldn’t even dream of requesting for aid from the God Race. Depending on the situation, the communicating god would judge whether he should provide a helping hand. Those people like Clyde who could casually request the support of a Divine Realm Valkyrie belonged to extremely exceptional cases.

Earl Harrison had already fled. Eldest Young Master Harman as well as the Second Young Master Harriet had also fled. Basically, all powerful aristocrats of Atad had successfully fled. One shouldn’t be fooled by these aristocrats’ decadent lives. They had all secretly long prepared short-range teleportation magic scrolls for just such a case. The real victims would always be the common residents and soldiers of Atad since they lacked the financial resources to purchase teleportation magic scrolls, such luxurious and precious magic items. Relying on their legs to run away, they were unable to outrun the spread of death qi and would eventually collapse.

“Wait, you... Weren’t you laying out a soul-luring magic array just a moment ago? Can you activate it again! I beg of you.”

“Little girl, is this the time to care for others?”

In Clyde’s mysterious carriage fleet, Jenny properly using a red rope to tie up Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly and Three-Headed Demonic Dragon Knight Andrea who had already lost their combat powers in accordance with Clyde’s instructions. At ordinary times, with her combat power, she would have been the opponent of neither this dragon knight princess nor the Demon Princess. Without Clyde making a move, Jenny, this assassin, would have never gotten a chance to capture a dragon knight and a Demon Princess. This achievement was enough to brag about for her entire life.

Verly’s fear had not yet dispersed. Like Andrea, she was so scared that she had ** herself. Fortunately, there was a rainstorm, saving herself from getting embarrassed. Verly recognized the magic array Clyde had drawn before as a soul luring magic array. Although she was unclear about the other’s original intentions, she knew that this terrifying Evil God in front of her had once attempted to destroy the Undead calamity.

Although begging an Evil God to prevent an Undead calamity was very absurd and seriously against her dragon knight’s beliefs, Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly was not a rigid and conservative person. She was very clear that the nearest Light Church’s Archbishop Iglesias was very far away in Augusta Empire’s Elisad Church.

For Archbishop Iglesias to rush over to deal with this Undead calamity, when considering the time taken to call together Holy Knight Regiment and Divine Judgment Regiment, it would take at least three days to arrive. This didn’t even consider the time taken for the pope’s approval of the application to dispatch an archbishop as well as the time taken to dispatch other personnel. Therefore, it would take much longer for Archbishop Iglesias to come here. Then, the Undead calamity here would have already become quite troublesome, and all the people in Atad would definitely have already become cold.

She had no choice but to acknowledge that in the vicinity only this terrifying Evil God in front of her had the ability to deal with this Undead calamity. A tear of humiliation flowed down from the corner of Verly’s eyes. She probably felt that having to beg for Clyde’s assistance was going against her dragon knight’s spirit and standard. But, she had no other means.

“Verly, how can you ask help from this... this lord? You need to offer your soul when asking help from a devil! Only I can defeat you. You are not allowed to hand your life to other people!”

“Andrea, you... you want to fight with me to this extent!”

“I don’t care, honorable... honorable deity, don’t listen to this sacred dragon knight, she has a bad brain, everything is certainly deity’s great plan, don’t be persuaded by mortals.”

Even though they were in distress together, Demon Princess Andrea still wanted to fight against Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly to the end. She didn’t know Clyde’s status. She suspected that he couldn’t be a Demon King, since no Demon King was so terrifying. A Demon King that could kill people with just a look... even those legendary Demon Kings didn’t have such a terrifying and abnormal strength. He already surpassed the understanding of this Demon Princess. After a round of careful consideration, Andrea straightforwardly addressed Clyde respectfully as a deity. From a certain aspect, her form of address was not wrong. In any case, Evil Gods were also considered as deities.

“You two should rest for a while. Drop this matter. After I have dealt with this, I will consider your matters.”

“Wait a moment, I beg you. Save... wuwu!”

“Lord Deity, I am a friendly force. I am on your side. Don’t...”

Jenny hesitated for a bit at Clyde’s signal. Then, she took out two small red balls and gently sealed the mouths of Verly and Andrea. These two beautiful dragon knights finally became quiet. After Jenny took them into the carriage, they clearly saw the goods inside the carriage. Their complexions became red, and they struggled intensely against her grip.

In the carriage were bound white lambs without a thread of cloth. They had collars around their necks, and their eyes were blindfolded. They also had small balls in their mouths. In addition, red ropes bound them with a wicked tortoiseshell binding method. Verly and Andrea understood that this carriage fleet was one of Human Race’s special fleet that transported slaves and other special goods. Their luck was too bad. They had directly run into the spear tip, delivering themselves to the doorstep.

“Don’t struggle. Master will not treat you two like this. Otherwise, you two would have already died just a moment ago. Don’t use that kind of gaze to look at me, okay? I am just like you two, letting you two go depends on Master’s whims. I don’t have the ability.”

“Well, just stay calm. I will accompany you two here. Don’t think about running away; that’s impossible.”

Jenny avoided Verly’s earnest gaze and skilfully used a black cloth to cover her eyes. Verly’s attempt to invoke Jenny’s righteousness failed. Demon Princess Andrea on the other side was also similarly blindfolded. From the very beginning, these two dragon knight princesses of different races hadn’t particularly cooperative as they continuously struggled to escape their bindings.

Only after Jenny used the red ropes to tie them up in accordance with the tortoiseshell binding method and fastened red collars around their necks, did Verly and Andrea became completely obedient, accepting their fates and letting Jenny tie them to the leather loops inside the carriage. Afterward, Jenny used a damp towel to clean up their bodies, getting rid of the strange trickles down their legs. The complexions of Verly and Andrea became very red. It seemed they were unable to conceal the matter of ** themselves from Jenny.

Clyde looked at the half-completed soul luring magic array on the ground outside the carriage and hesitated about whether to continue or not. After being interrupted just now, this half-completed ritual was useless, so he would need to draw it again, but he might not have enough time. With him at the scene, the death qi spreading out from Atad wouldn’t dare to attack the carriage fleet. The terrifying qi field of a Great Old One was enough to deter the death qi and make undead creatures avoid this direction.

“Lord Deity, is the plan progressing smoothly? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Asmode, the plan... That’s right. Can the range of the Undead calamity be controlled?”

“Yes, Lord Deity. That fellow Hal was too unprofessional. He had used a fragment of the Skeleton General’s crown as a medium, so the might and coverage of this Undead calamity should just reach Atad’s city bounds, nothing more. It will not spread too fast. There is enough time for this world’s church to mend this awful mess.”

“Moreover, the Divine Realm has already observed this phenomena. Lord Deity, look at the place over there.”

** Demon King Asmode’s mystical shadow appeared behind Clyde. This legend ranked Demon King had many avatars that could appear in any world at any time. Although her strength was not comparable to Clyde’s, if Clyde wanted to see her true appearance, it would be very difficult for him to do so without her consent before she self-destructed.

Following the direction ** Demon King Asmode had indicated, Clyde looked at the night sky. Sure enough, he noticed several goddesses along with angels hiding behind the clouds and secretly observing. Clyde’s night vision was quite sharp, so he immediately recognized the Valkyrie leading the group. She was Valkyrie Cynthia, who had just returned after repelling the Demonic Dragon Alcurus in the northernmost regions.

Cynthia’s expression was extremely awkward. Just after she had returned, she had noticed an Undead calamity and guessed that it was very likely to be the handiwork of her acquaintance. Beside Cynthia, there were not only other goddesses and angels. There was also another equally ranked Valkyrie observing the situation.

“What’s the matter, Cynthia? Is there anything unusual? Why are you looking at that direction for so long? Did you notice anything?”

“No, it’s nothing. Lumina, we should return quickly and report to God King!”

“Eh, I haven’t finished observing yet... Don’t, Don’t pull me! I can walk.”

In order to secure the moral integrity of her colleague, Cynthia immediately pulled away Valkyrie Lumina. Clyde felt a little regretful. Before he could clearly see the appearance of Valkyrie Lumina, Cynthia had already taken her away.
