Chapter 368

"Gaaaahh …!"

"Wuaaahh …!"

Amidst the black fog-like evil aura, accompanied by such frenzied roars, a few black shadows that were pouncing towards Sean revealed themselves.

"People?"

Sean was dumbfounded when he saw the few black shadows clearly.

The black shadows that were pouncing towards him were all people.

There were elves, orcs, and even dwarves among them. They looked no different from humans, but they seemed to be in a frenzied state. Not only were their eyes red, but their faces were ferocious, and saliva was dripping from the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that they had lost their minds.

However, what surprised Shien wasn't that they had lost their minds, but that they were dressed differently from the people of this era.

They wore leather coats and sweaters made of animal skins, and the weapons in their hands were mostly made of stone tools. They looked more like ancient barbarians than people of this era.

"You …"

Shien wanted to say something, but the barbarians attacked him crazily.

Without hesitation, they brandished the weapons in their hands and slashed at Sean with all their might.

Some of the unarmed barbarians pounced toward Shien's arms and legs, biting at him like wild beasts.

"Fuyu- Explode."

Shien had to fight back and cast a magic spell on the air around him.

"Bang!"

Amidst the crackling sound, the air explosion took shape, causing a blast wind and shock wave to spread out from Sean's body and blast towards the savages.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" …

The barbarians were blasted away one by one. They fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

A few of the savages did not land in a good position, causing their hand bones, leg bones, and even skulls to be twisted, causing them to bleed profusely.

However …

"Gaaaahh …!"

"Wuaaahh …!"

In the next second, these barbarians ignored the fact that they were injured. As if they had lost their sense of pain, they immediately got up and pounced toward Shien again.

"What?"

Sean could not help but be stunned, but he did not dare to slow down at all. Relying on the skill of [Evasion], his body turned and moved like the wind a few times, and resolved the attacks of the savages.

Not only that, Sean also used the [Close Distance Evasion] skill to dash to the back of the barbarians in a few flashes. He then slashed at their necks with his knife-hand.

What surprised Shien was that these barbarians didn't lose their consciousness even though they were slashed. They still roared and pounced toward Shien.

"… Are they completely crazy?"

After that, Shien tried a few more times to subdue or knock these barbarians out, but it was all to no avail.

These barbarians seemed to have turned into the most violent beasts. They didn't care about their own safety and didn't feel any pain. They just kept attacking Shien and wouldn't stop.

Shien even cast the "Fix" Magic on one of the barbarians. After struggling to no avail, the barbarian cut off his legs and crawled toward Shien with his bloody body.

Seeing this, Shien knew that these barbarians couldn't be saved.

"Since that's the case, I'll set you free."

Shien's body exploded, and with a speed that was many times faster than before, he dashed in front of a barbarian.

"Puchi!"

The Holy Sword slashed through the air, and with a cold arc, it cut the barbarian's body in half.

Fresh blood spurted into the air and scattered around, forming a fountain of blood.

The barbarian fell into the pool of blood, and he twitched a few times before he stopped moving.

"Gaaaahh …!"

"Wuaaahh …!"

Seeing that their companion was killed, the other barbarians didn't show any fear. Instead, their ferocity was aroused, and they pounced forward even more violently.

"Set yourself free!"

Shien didn't show any mercy. As he moved, the Holy Sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc, slashing at the barbarians.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!" …

In an instant, the sword flashed, and blood splattered.

Sean personally buried the savages one by one on the spot, letting them fall into a pool of blood and turn into corpses.

Looking at the barbarians who had fallen to the ground, Sean frowned while holding the holy sword that was dripping with blood.

"Where did these barbarians come from?"

Were they locals?

But why were the natives dressed like this, and why were they here, turning into crazy demons?

"Looking at their crazed looks, they must have been in a frenzy for a long time."

Their self-awareness seemed to have completely disappeared in the long period of madness, which caused these barbarians to be so fearless.

Moreover, their clothing clearly didn't match this era, and Shien had a guess.

"Could it be …"

Thinking of this possibility, Shien's expression turned grim.

If that was the case, there would be big trouble.

If things went wrong, the kingdom and even the world would fall into chaos.

"Fortunately, these barbarians seem to only stay within the range of the evil aura and won't leave the land occupied by the evil aura."

Otherwise, there would be a huge problem.

"Looks like I was too hasty in breaking the seal without any hesitation."

Shien finally sighed.

However, since things had come to this, and Shien had expected that something might happen, he made some backup plans. Therefore, the problem was still manageable.

"Now, let's enter the shrine or find Elise first."

Shien was about to use his perception-type skills, but he remembered that they were hindered by the evil aura and couldn't be used.

"So troublesome."

At that moment, Sean could only give himself the characteristic of "flying", and according to the direction in his memory, he flew in the direction of the temple.

As he flew, Shien became more and more alarmed.

This was because he realized that the closer he got to the shrine, the more barbarians there were. Not only were there humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves, but there were also Demons and Magical Creatures.

"Gaaaahhh …!"

"Arghhh …!"

All the humans, Demons, and Magical Creatures were going crazy, falling into complete madness like malicious ghosts and demons. Not only would they attack Shien, but they would also kill each other, destroying everything in sight.

Compared to the Alchemists that Shien had seen before, their appearance might not be as disgusting, but they were undoubtedly more dangerous and horrifying.

Sean also saw many people who were dressed more nobly and did not have any combat power. They were biting each other, kicking and kicking each other, smashing with stones, and knocking their heads on the ground. All the attacks that could be achieved were displayed.

Their dressing was very different from the people of today, or it could be said that they looked like people from a long time ago.

This further confirmed Shien's guess.

At a certain moment, when Shien encountered a three-headed Magical Creature that he had seen in an illustrated book many years ago and was now long extinct, he was finally sure.

"These lifeforms that have fallen into madness are not modern lifeforms, but ancient lifeforms."

Exactly.

"They are ancient people who have lost their sanity and have completely lost control and gone completely mad by the power of the Evil God Lilith."

The Evil God Lilith had once spread evil aura on the ground and used her power to cause many creatures to turn into berserk beasts who had lost their sanity and started killing each other on the ground.

Those creatures did not seem to recover after the Evil God Lilith was sealed. Instead, they continued to go berserk and crazy. In the end, they were sealed together by the Protoss.

With the evil god Lilith's seal loosening, these living beings woke up first. They surged out of the temple and started to wreak havoc again.

They were the sacrifices that had been abandoned in ancient times. Because they had been in madness for too long, their self-consciousness had been erased, and they would never regain their sanity. They were real walking corpses.

Understanding this, Shien could not help but feel pity.

They did not do anything wrong. They were just unlucky and were no different from the victims who had been swept into natural disasters.

"At least let you be free."

A huge amount of magic power surged out of Shien's body.

"Give Up. Fire."

Shien released magic at the ground.

"Kaboom!"

In the next moment, the ground shook violently and suddenly burst into flames, setting off endless waves of fire.

The waves of fire swept over as if the ground itself was on fire. Countless flames spewed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption.

The flames engulfed the howling savages and wild beasts, burning them to ashes. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Just like this, Shien flew toward the temple while setting off waves of fire, burning the savages and beasts.

In the land of evil aura, in the black fog, the purgatory gradually formed, and countless crazy demons were devoured by the waves of fire.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Sean's figure suddenly froze.

He saw a familiar person.

He saw a beautiful werecat girl stumbling as she ran, looking extremely pained.

"Ah …!"

Soon, the girl knelt on the ground and held her head, looking like she was about to go crazy.

Her face was filled with pain, contorted, and struggling.

Obviously, she was almost at her limit.

Then …

"I … don't become crazy …"

The werecat girl gritted her teeth and took out a dagger from her pocket.

"Goodbye, Lady Elyse …"

With a determined expression, the werecat girl pointed the dagger at her throat with trembling hands. After a while, she stabbed it with all her might.

"Slap!"

With a crisp sound, the dagger in the girl's hand was slapped away by a hand.

"You …!?"

The werecat girl froze at first. Then, she turned pale with fright when she saw the person who came.

"Oh, I remember you're Maffey, right?" Shien grinned and said, "We meet again. But, aren't you being too hasty to kill yourself as soon as we meet?"

Then, Shien reached out his hand to Maffey.

"[Celestial Breath]."

The Milky Way suddenly appeared, causing starlight to fall like rain, enveloping Mafei's body.

Maffey felt that her heart and spirit, which were about to be filled with negative emotions, were cleansed, and the negative emotions were completely eliminated.

"This …"

Maffey, who had regained her senses, trembled, and looked astonished.

It's … done?
