Chapter 346 - The King’s Curse (1/2)

William and his companions withdrew from the church.

At this instant, a figure flashed by, and Changli Jiuge was swept away.

When William and his companions ran toward him, he turned into a white ray of light and screamed.

He was dead.

The soul of Changli Jiuge saw William and his companions approaching. He quickly revived at the spot and said in a frightened tone, “The monster is fast and fierce. He pierced my chest with his claws. I had already died before I had the chance to see him.”

William and Lancelot glanced at each other, saying in unison, “Night Demon.”

Lautner explained, “Be careful, the Night Demons are very fast. In the dark, their damage and defense ratings are extremely high. They like to feed on the hearts. Do not wander off from the group.”

“They like to feed on the hearts? No wonder the Night Demon pounced on my chest. Can he feed on white light?” Changli Jiuge frowned. A dead player would not leave behind a corpse. His limbs and body parts would disintegrate into white light.

The attack just now had felt like experiencing a horror movie in person. Changli Jiuge was so terrified that he had almost urinated. He felt for his crotch.

Why were his pants wet?

Changli Jiuge pondered and was enlightened.

He did not quit the game to clean up his gaming pod.

Instead, he let the warm and wet feeling spread to his legs…

He had to pretend that nothing happened.

It was not time to go offline. Prince William might not be waiting for him to clean up the gaming pod…

William and his companions did not know that Changli Jiuge had urinated out of fear. They kept their vigilance to fend off the Night Demons’ attacks.

The Night Demons were not intelligent. They were monsters who hid in the deepest part of the Dark World.

They possessed remarkable hunting skills and were much stronger than ordinary devils.

When William had been a part-time demon hunter, he had been killed by Night Demons many times.

Night Demons were magical beasts more powerful than Epic and Legendary demon-hunting BOSSES.

Lancelot suddenly asked, “Where are we going next? Are we waiting for the witch to resurrect?”

William deeply pondered and shook his head. “No, we have to eliminate as many believers of the witch as possible. This will increase our odds of survival after the witch’s resurrection. Do you know where the believers are hiding?”

“I know their whereabouts, but we haven’t made our moves yet.” Lancelot nodded. He thought for a while before bringing everyone to the believers’ hideout.

The players found Changli Jiuge a bit abnormal.

He acted like a dog that shook his leg while walking as if trying to shake off something stuck on its leg.

Fortunately, the situation was precarious. The players had a sense of urgency, so they did not pay too much attention to him.

Fatty was doing a live broadcast.

Some viewers who had gone through the same experience commented, “Gosh! this is scary…”

“Yes, He was so scared that he peed. He didn’t want to go offline, so he showed strange behavior.”

“Gosh, it must be very scary.”

Many repetitive comments appeared in the live broadcast room.

Fatty held back his laugh. He did not want Changli Jiuge to beat him, so he quickly patted Changli Jiuge on the shoulder and covered his nose. “Gosh! You’ve stepped on feces. It stinks, and you have stained my pants.”

“D*mn…” Chang Li Jiuge was about to curse when he noticed Fatty’s gaze. So he said with a sad face, “I didn’t step on the feces, but I’ve encountered a pile of disgusting and rotten meatballs.”

Changli Jiuge secretly accessed the forum and checked out the comments in Fatty’s live broadcast room. He was relieved when he noticed someone defending him.

Anyway, he was also a professional player.

He would be a laughing stock if people knew that he peed in fear.

The capital city of Kerenza was engulfed in a dark mist. Every household on the street had tightly closed their doors.

The city guards no longer patrolled at night. Instead, they were garrisoned as a legion to protect the residences of the nobles and officials.

What about the palace?

Fifty thousand elite soldiers stood guard over there.

The city had 130,000 troops stationed in it. After the city had descended into an alternate dimension, the king had deployed reinforcements from other regions to the city.

But the scope of the city was too large. These 130,000 soldiers were not enough, and it was impossible to have guards everywhere.

The King of Kerenza was too timid, so he had deployed many professionals and legions with combat capabilities in the palace to protect himself.

The cowardly king disregarded the safety of his people. He was worried about his safety, so he offered all his treasures to seek help.

Well, the current situation was simple.

William could not seek the assistance of the Kerenza legions.

They had to protect at night the government officials, nobles, and members of the royal family.

They could only come out during the day to kill the dark creatures.

Whether the city could be saved or not, depended on the demon hunters who had received the mission.

Lancelot brought William and his companions to a three-story building.

“Kerenza’s largest tavern, and one of the gathering places of the dark witch believers.”

Just as he spoke, the tavern door creaked open.

A bright light penetrated the mist and illuminated the crowd.

William noticed a lot of professionals inside, drinking, chatting, and eating meat.

While William and his companions hesitated, everyone inside turned around and looked at them with blood-stained eyes.

The players gulped. They felt they were being stared at by countless monsters.

A pending conflict did not erupt. A young bartender came to the door and respectfully bowed to invite them.

William knitted his eyebrows and stepped forward. “Let’s enter.”

A group of more than twenty professionals quickly walked in. William ignored the Blood Moon believers who were drinking and eating meat. He just knocked on the table and called, “Waiter.”

“I’m coming! What drinks would all of you strong professionals like to have?” A charming woman in a translucent dress came forward.

Her eyes were blood red, and she did not mind the presence of William and his companions.

William glanced at the wine bottles she had brought. They were filled with pungent blood. The believers in the tavern were not drinking wine; it was the commoners’ blood.

Lancelot and his Temple Knights resisted the impulse to attack. Lancelot wanted to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.

William stretched his hand and held the lady boss’ chin. “Where’s your master?”

“Master hasn’t been resurrected. But if such a handsome man like you wants to get to know my master, you may stay with her forever after the city descends into Darkness.” The charming lady boss blinked and attempted to grab William’s hand, but the prince retracted his arm.

William sneered and said, “What’s wrong? Your master had been killed by me before, so she doesn’t dare to show up. Are you Blood Moon believers?”

“How dare you!” The lady boss yelled, and the professionals around her stood up, unsheathing their weapons.
