Chapter 912: New Discovery (Part One)

People looked in the direction of the scream, and they saw more strange things happening. After the six giant mysterious monsters were killed, streaks of blackish-red mist flowed out of the broken bones and torn flesh.

Gradually, the cloud of blackish-red mist grew so big and dense that the Castellan Estate was about to be engulfed by it.

The mist enveloped a few injured Anjian soldiers who were lying on the ground and couldn’t move, and they screamed and struggled before they were turned into zombies.

“Back! Back off!”

Shouts sounded in the crowd, and all the Alanians rushed back in alarm, afraid of getting touched by the evil energy.

People like Charles Adam also became frantic. If this mist expanded and dispersed into the area, the entire Marton City was going to be corroded. Before tomorrow’s sunrise, everyone in the city would probably be controlled by the evil energy as zombies.

“Huh? Interesting.” Fei walked in slowly; he made another strange discovery.

Although these monsters were essentially evil creatures from hell, the same as those zombies and mutated demon beasts that they encountered prior, only red and evil mist flowed out of the flesh of these monsters that were killed by Torres. There wasn’t even a tiny trace of the mysterious yet pure energy that only Fei could see which would appear after the death of those zombies and mutated demon beasts.

“What is going on? Could it be that the mysterious energy which I can absorb doesn’t exist in all the hell creatures? What is the difference between them?” Since this question related to his future growth in strength, it was critical for Fei to figure it out.

Therefore, the king stopped moving and closely observed the minced flesh on the ground that looked like meat paste.

“Be careful!”

At this moment, sexy warrior Anna shouted and tried to warn Fei.

It turned out that Fei was already at the outer edge of the giant cloud of blackish-red mist, and a few streaks of blackish-red mist that had a foul smell moved toward Fei’s body like the hands of murderous ghosts. It seemed like the mist had a life of its own and chose living creatures in the area to destroy.

Fei wasn’t afraid in the face of this blackish-red mist which others feared. Instead, he slowly reached out his hand, and a streak of golden flames appeared on his hand before turning into a golden light sphere and capturing a streak of such mist.

After observing it for a while, Fei put away the golden sphere and allowed that streak of blackish-red mist to rush into his hand like an evil worm.

Fei wanted to figure out how the evil energy inside the blackish-red mist could turn people into zombies.

As soon as that streak of mist entered his body, the king sensed a chilly sensation. This evil energy was highly corrosive. On top of eating away flesh, it could also stain warrior energy, allowing it to break people’s skin and enter their energy channels and blood vessels to suck away the vital life energy.

Both warrior energy and magic energy were the same in front of this evil power, and ordinary people and low-level warriors and mages would have the same fate when being corroded by it.

At a visible speed, half of Fei’s hand withered like a deflating balloon, and even his skin turned greenish-grey. He felt an unbearable itchiness on his fingertips, and his fingernails were slowly growing out under a mystic energy. In the end, even the skin on the back of his hand cracked like the bark of an old tree and was going to fall off.

Chapter 912: New Discovery (Part Two)

This scene made Alanians who were watching from afar worry for Fei.

They didn’t know why Fei wanted to put himself in danger. It was known that undead energy was terrifying, and only the holy power of the Holy Church could counter it. However, the evil energy appeared with this Undead Creature Catastrophe was even more frightening; the holy power of the Holy Church couldn’t purify it. Many priests were corroded by the evil power and turned into zombies.

At this moment, the portable teleportation arrays that the soldiers of Chambord set up earlier flashed, and a few people walked out of it.

In the front, there was an old man with white hair and a white beard who was holding a thick wooden cane and a priestess who was wearing a purple robe and had her eyes closed. More than ten young people who were about 14 years old followed the two, and they were wearing light armor and looked energetic and high-spirited.

“What is going on? Did you find anything?” Akara walked to Fei and asked.

“Eh, these monsters seem a bit strange. This isn’t like the pure hell energy from Diablo World. Instead, it seems like it is put together temporarily by combining different energies, and the technique is advanced,” Fei responded while activating the holy power of his Paladin character.

A golden light ring traveled along his arm, and all the things that were happening disappeared, returning his hands into its former smooth and healthy condition.

The blackish-red mist that was terrifying in others’ eyes was nothing to Fei. In Diablo World, Fei had encountered dark hell energy that was hundreds if not thousands of times more potent than this, and the holy power of the Paladin could destroy all evil.

“Let’s go in and take a look; I seemed to have found some ancient things,” Cain said after closing his eyes and sensing for a bit. Then, with his cane in hand, he walked toward the stone walls that were broken by these mysterious monsters with a serious expression on his face with the university students behind him.

The blackish-red mist moved aside and made way for Cain as if it feared this old man who looked like he was going to break his bones at any second.

Fei nodded and followed with Akara.

Radiant golden light shone on the king, instantly enveloping everything in the area.

Like a snowflake in a pot of boiling water, all the blackish-red mist disappeared. The golden light carried a holy sensation, giving people warmth and comfort. The Alanians who had injuries on them felt that a streak of warm energy entered their bodies, quickly healing them and washing away their fatigue.

The dirty blood that was left on the ground by the monsters and the zombies that were turned from Anjian soldiers instantly turned into green smoke and disappeared when encountering the golden light.

Torres and the soldiers of Chambord in white stayed outside the Castellan’s Estate. After talking with Charles Adam, they coordinated with the Alanian resistance force and started to wipe out the Anjian soldiers who were still not surrendering. Compared to fighting head-on, chasing after defeated soldiers was even easier.

…

The Castellan’s Estate was completely restructured, and it was more like a stable military base now.

Zombies that were wearing maid outfits wandered in the large front courtyard, and there were a few corpses that had their bones and internal organs exposed in the air, turning the Castellan’s Estate into a living Hell.

The few university students who were behind Cain were the talented apprentices who were picked by Cain and Akara. Even though they went through extensive training in this area, their faces still paled when they saw this, and they forced themselves not to puke.

Those six mysterious monsters probably killed these people.

As the group went in deeper, they saw many more destroyed houses and corpses.

When they reached the backyard of the Castellan’s Estate, they discovered an underground tunnel in a firm palace that led to an unknown destination.
