Somewhere in the abandoned sewer of Edland City, Melanie who already had a cold expression was as cold as ice at this moment.
It felt like even the temperature around her had dropped quite a bit.
It made the rest of the Hounds unconsciously distance themselves from her.
Melanie's eyes were staring at the magic circle on the ground.
The foundation of the magic circle was a hexagram and then, it was formed by two circles, one big and one small, on the left and right side of the hexagram.
There were some small holes in the six corners of the hexagram.
Inside the two circles, one big and one small, there were traces of some items being placed there.
Although Melanie's knowledge couldn't fully identify the magic circle, based on what she saw and the lingering aura of energy, she was sure someone had just performed a conversion in the area!
A conversion that converted the fruit of Yggdrasil into one's own power!
"Tell me!
Who is in charge of this area? "
Melanie asked, emphasizing each and every word.
"It's Giles!"
One of the Hounds uttered the name of the new Hound without a second thought.
"Hey, don't blame me for this!
The map I got isn't the oldest one in Edland City! "
This place has been abandoned for at least 70 to 80 years, who knew that bastard would be able to find his way here! "
The new Hound explained repeatedly.
However, Melanie and the other Hounds didn't accept his explanation.
They were looking at the new Hound with a vicious gaze, ready to swarm up and tear the new Hound into pieces, then … a share of the new Hound's wealth.
As a new Hound, other than his decent strength, the few items on him were decent as well.
The Hounds started to close in step by step.
The new Hound was in imminent danger.
Right at that moment, a series of footsteps sounded.
The tidy footsteps were messy.
A team of thirty people appeared at the end of the passage, and behind this team was a group of people who were in a mess.
When the Hounds saw the group, they quickly gave up on surrounding the new Hound and stood in formation, looking at the opposite side with a heavy expression.
As for the group of men behind them?
The Hounds didn't care.
However, it didn't mean the group of men would be obedient.
"Look, there!
It really is the Twenty Hounds!
The Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council and the Knight of the Holy Relic Society, this is going to be a good show! "
…
Whispers filled with excitement and schadenfreude came from the crowd.
However, more people were looking at the Magic Array on the ground.
Then, those who were rather knowledgeable began to look vexed.
The same vexed expression also appeared on the faces of the Knight of the Holy Relic Society.
"Garcia, Gerrard, Griffin, Lesley, Quake, Aedh Church, the six major decision-making churches of the Holy Relic Society, what are you lamenting about?"
Melanie's cold voice was filled with ridicule.
"It's just a small matter … compared to what's between us!"
The Knight who stood at the front of the team replied.
His voice was loud and clear, like a clap of thunder. Not only did it suppress the commotion coming from behind, it also caused quite a number of people to sway and fall to the ground as if they were drunk.
His voice was like a command.
The 30 Knight charged straight at the 20 Hounds.
As the nemesis of the Holy Relic Society and the Elder Council, there was no need for any pleasantries.
Battle was the eternal theme between them.
All kinds of secret techniques passed down by the church lit up in this group and fused together in perfect harmony, resulting in a shocking change.
The mystics at the back widened their eyes at the illusory figures descending from the sky one after another. They either opened their arms, looked down or shouted loudly.
Then, a layer of dazzling brilliance enveloped the team.
Each of the Knight looked tall and mighty under the brilliance, their aura was sharp.
Even though they were quite a distance away, the mystics could feel the surging power from the Knight.
"That's Garcia!"
"That's Griffin!"
"That's Lesley!"
"And that, that's Aedh!"
…
"This … This is God's Descent!"
Shouts sounded one after another and eventually converged into a single sentence.
The mystics looked fearful and anxious.
After all, it was too pressuring for them to face the founders of the churches that were like Gods.
Especially those who had done something shameful before, they unconsciously stepped back.
In the current dungeon world, there were rumors of Gods interrogating sinners.
However, after they took a step back, they realized the path they came from was sealed shut.
A black mist blocked the path as if it was real. It didn't just stop the mystics from stepping back, it also trapped them like they were stuck in a swamp, immobilizing them.
The more terrifying thing was, the black mist was wriggling forward, devouring every single one of the mystics that stood in its way.
Each time the black mist enveloped one of the mystics, that person would scream in agony.
Then, the flesh and blood would be stripped off, turning into white bones.
But …
The white bones didn't die.
Instead, they were staring at the people who were standing in front of them a moment ago with their deep eye sockets.
Although they had lost their eyes, those who were stared at by the black eye sockets couldn't help but shiver.
It was a kind of fear that struck the soul.
"What is this?"
"Damn it!"
"Get lost!"
…
Fear made the mystics who followed them to take advantage of the situation cursed out loud.
They wanted to struggle and get away from the black mist.
But it was useless.
Quite the opposite, it hastened their deaths.
"Save me!"
"I beg you, please beg me!"
…
Cries for help sounded ceaselessly.
However, for the charging Knight, the enemies before them were more important than saving those greedy mystics.
Melanie who was controlling the items in her hand showed even more sneers in her eyes.
Everything was as she expected.
The mystics who realized the true thoughts of the Knight started to curse again.
Facing the danger of death, the mystics had tossed their fear of the Holy Relic Society to the back of their minds.
"What a bunch of fame-fishing bastards!"
"So this is the Knight's rule that you people believe in?"
"You people will die a horrible death!"
…
Such curses filled the entire abandoned sewer.
But at the next moment, the curses stopped abruptly.
Bluish green flames came out from the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths of those who were cursing. The flames swiftly gathered together and carried countless negative emotions towards the Holy Relic Society towards the illusionary figures above the Knight's head.
The illusionary figures with traces of divine light were instantly engulfed by the special flames.
The brilliance that enveloped the Knight's body instantly dimmed down.
What was more terrifying was the skeletons and white bones!
As the black mist rumbled, all the skeletons and white bones gathered into a giant skeletal claw. A loud bang later, the skeletal claw was clenched into the shape of a fist and smashed towards the blazing Knight.
Bang!
The brilliance shook and dimmed down even more.
The Hounds were laughing viciously.
They were anticipating the next scene.
