Chapter 226: Here we go again. (2/2)

‘shi+t… could those cult bastards have gone through with it?’

The cat was out of the bag for the cultists Roland had convinced himself that the cult that liked to perforainst the church here It would benuclear Even if the church was sending a flying shi+p, they could have intercepted it when it was transporting the relic in a more favorable location

Nohen they have revealed the in its power to stop thehts would be arriving soon With that many opponents on the horizon, there was only one way of holding the with you?”

“ghhhh…”

While thinking about the worst possible scenario he started hearing a strangefrom below There so their heads Their screa place Strange tendrils started shooting out from their ears and eyes as the Abyssal Larvae were activated

“shi+t, what’s happening to those people? Is that some type of zoaze on the large nurotesque appearance while their skin turned a pale gray The sounds of their skulls bursting and bones being reallocated was truly disgusting Even if he wanted to help theet away…”

“Ahhh… what are these things… run!”

People were screa as the monsters appeared The corrupted retained their hutentacles One of these tentacles was a lot longer and had so a scythe blade attached to it This one bladed appendage was clearly itsand while theat quite the rapid pace

The streets quickly turned chaotic as people started running for their lives The monsters that just hatched had various levels and iterations Some of the tentacles were thicker androw These creatures were no joke as anyone below tier 2 would not be able to stand a chance

“Hey Wayland, stop spacing out, we o!”

“Ah yes”

Roland nodded as this was not the ti below The populace turning into monsters could only be the start of it Perhaps they were only meant to distract the inquisitors froerous foe couldn’t appear again He was reminded of the tier 3 ball of tentacles they faced in the forest, if these creatures could coer form was possible

‘Why isto this city he had hoped to leave his troubles behind He was not expecting the cultist to go through with a plan like this in broad daylight They see their business away fro the now, the illusory relic h for them to alter their plans

Roland and Senna were lucky enough to have gone up the old clock tower There weren’t many people in it and on the way down they didn’t run into any opposition Only when they arrived at the last floor did the fighting start

‘I shouldn’t use spells too ht hit the civilians’

This was not a dungeon where he could indiscrie number of spells He was in possession of deadly force that could easily go through buildings and kill the people that were hiding inside This was not so that he wanted to have on his conscience

Thus for the ti he decided to use the sword and shi+eld that didn’t find much use in the previous encounters His shi+eld had various rune patterns on the inside with a glistering outer shell

On the outside, there was also a gole on when protecting his head The shi+eld had been banged up after the run-in with the cultists in the forest but he hadback

His first opponentfro whip-like tendril with a blade attached to it which inging in rando the path outside while approaching a wo a child

While Roland didn’t see himself as the heroic type he could not just let aher child be eaten by soility so that he could swiftly place himself between the two parties This was just in the nick of time as the bladed tentacle shot out for the wo with flesh, it hit a blue shi+eld ofhis shi+eld The mo slightly The monster before was only level seventy but its poas no joke Yet the e bounced back he stepped in quickly, his sas quick to aim for the fleshy part as he sliced the

A black fountain of blood shot out from the severed tentacle while the creature backed away Its way of walking was very uncoordinated whichThus while the fleshy blade was flopping around on the ground Roland continued with his assault The runic blade that he was holding started glowing red and its blade was surrounded byhot blade, he performed a basic slash that was ai the other softer tentacles to protect itself they were far too ht through the round

‘It does look like the head is the weak spot but to be on the safe side…’

Roland recalled a phrase from an old zombie movie that he once watched It was always better to perforenerative powers The name of this monster also bothered hi blade into its spine

“GAHHHhhhh”

The moment he did a bunch of s to push his sword out Yet before they could do anything they were consuical flames and quickly suffered a critical hit Only when he received a aained 1689 experience points</tbody>

Yet this was not over yet, this was only the first of the many enemies that awaited him outside What were his options here? With the city in a state of chaos, there wasn’t much he could do He could either try to escape to a safe location or atte to the docks or is it too late?’

His old plan of taking the shi+p out seeht be able to make it out The whole place would be in chaos so the shi+p captains would probably attempt to leave as soon as possible These monsters didn’t look like they could swi help at the church or the noble district but it was very slim The church had surrounded itself with a holy shi+eld that ht not be accessible to the coates at the noble district would be a good defensive position too but he was convinced that they would not let an adventurer like him inside Which left the docks as one option and then the other would be to abandon the city

“Hey, Wayland, help ht die! ”

His deliberation was interrupted by Senna as peeking outside While he could try going through the city alone he would need to abandon the sht be able to slip through the streets faster but in a larger group, it was always a bit safer…
