392 The God of Desire Firs (1/2)

The Istan City fell into chaos as they experienced severe winter at the same time. More and more people were suffering from strange diseases. The destruction of alchemical boilers and heating systems had thrown the city into an extreme cold circumstance. Overnight, dozens of people were frozen to death. However, there were several families who died of coal poisoning.

The next day, the firewood on the market was looted, and a large number of citizens rushed out of Istan City to cut down the nearby forest of Snow Maple, but it only lasted a week before all was exhausted. People began to demolish houses and every public building for making a fire and preparing a meal.

Panic pervaded the whole city. And because of the disappearance of priests from the Divine Hall and Holy Knights, some in the city had become unscrupulous. At first, they just robbed. On the eighth day, a family of three in the East of the city was killed in the house, and the mistress was even humiliated before her death. That scene signaled for the start of chaos in Istan City.

Each and every family confined to their houses, gunshots was heard from time to time on the streets, the barn was burning in fire after a rampageous situation, food was burnt to the ground, several shops in the city were looted flat-out, and food shortages began to appear.

They started killing ice bears, killing camelids, they went out to look for fruits and food, but they had lesser food day after day. More and more of them didn't even dare to cook with fire, because the aroma of food would surely attract groups of mobs.

Helen carefully locked the door and rushed into the room. She looked at Bart and her sister Agatha lying on the beds. Her sister Agatha also suffered from that strange disease. In the past three days, she was unlike the past; she had lost her vitality akin to a female leopard.

In three days, Agatha transformed from a young girl to a fifty-year-old elder. Near the completion of the devil's sacrificial ceremony, the power of curse was stronger and the speed of erosion increased. Initially, it took more than ten days to age, but now five days were enough for people to die.

The hospital had been closed for a long time. As for the patients in the hospital, they knew their outcome even without thinking. Most of the patients who fell ill later could only choose to wait for death at home.

The streets and every house were filled with corpses, they died of illness, frozen to death or killed in a chaos. Darkness and death enveloped Istan City. The stench of rotting corpse permeated the streets, and even the Decay Vulture from afar began to hover over to Istan City. Some people began to flee Istan City. But most people know that there were likely to die during their journey.

Within a short period of time, the Istan City seemed to have fallen from heaven to a living hell.

”Bart! Agatha! Look, I found food!”

Helen took out two maple fruits, the unripe one, but in that period of time, in the Istan City, the terror-stricken situation had been ongoing for ten days and food was enough to drive people crazy.

”Agatha! Agatha, eat this! Have a bite, it's very...”

Helen put one fruit on Bart's hand, and then she sat beside Agatha, she hugged her younger sister. It was clear that Helen was her elder sister, but now Agatha had grew so old that she looked like Helen's mother. Helen wanted to feed her, but Agatha was too weak; it was as if she had only a breath left. Agatha shook her head.

”No, sister, my illness is incurable, I... I'm going to die soon!”

Agatha looked at her elder sister and there was only despair in her eyes, ”Don't waste food! And don't bother about me!”

Helen continued to support Agatha. She even chewed and crushed the maple fruit and fed Agatha a little by a little before she felt at ease.

Bart was now being attacked by the Seal of the Holy One and the power of his soul was gradually dissipated. There was no difference between the weakened him and those who were cursed, but he was still pretty clear-headed. He was trying every means to stop the power of the Seal of the Holy One, but he had no way of stopping it; he would inevitably die. It would take only a few days for his soul to completely dissipate.

But Bart also knew that in a few days, the doors of the abyss would open, and he would be able to recover completely. Moreover, he could advance further, acquired more power, and become a powerful Demon Baron in the abyss.

Bart chewed the maple fruit with all his might, and then he suddenly looked at Helen and said, ”Helen, why aren't you eating?”

Helen looked at Bart and replied, ”I'll eat later. You can eat first!”

Bart had a sudden realization, ”Don't tell me there're only two? There's no more food?”

Helen was at a loss for words but she replied, ”I'm good!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
