The small players were already familiar with doing the job of saving people.

Although there were ghouls and spirits all over the place in front of them, and the occasional strange skeleton warrior could be seen, the assault squad composed entirely of Black Iron Ranks didn’t care about any of that.

Ox, Stick and Orchid’s three Shield T’s blocked the front so that the people behind them could output with confidence, and after completing the Black Iron Trial and switching to an Advanced Profession, the Psychic Masters who hadn’t been doing so well before finally showed their first signs of promise, as the lead Big Pigeon slowed down a wide range of speeds with a Psychic Binding, and the two Psychic Masters in the Tiger and Leopard Riders summoned the Blazing Wall of Flames and the Psychic Lightning to smash down and incinerate them.

There were also burning oils that were constantly being thrown out to be ignited, making the players look like they were walking through flames.

Even if there was the occasional elite ghoul jumping out, they would be named by the shooters with increasingly deadly bullets, and it was obvious that everyone’s fighting style was gradually taking shape, and they were playing together with panache and joy.

Of course, considering that they were all in the “T1” echelon of players, it wasn’t surprising that they had this kind of strength.

However, this joy of “brushing monsters” didn’t last long, as they reached the area where the imprisoned survivors were, Good Pigeon let out a cry of surprise:
“F*ck! This is too bad, isn’t it?”

The other players were silent.

Because it was indeed miserable.

In front of this gathering area is located at the edge of the cavern’s underground river, completely unable to talk about any building is a large group of shacks iterated together, in which the men and women are all stagnant face, ragged body is also covered with traces of whipping.

Their minds seem to be “slowed down” by some kind of power, and no one welcomed the players when they saw them coming to save them, just like the beasts hiding in the lair of the beasts, trembling with fear and looking at the group of heavily armed warriors in front of them with horrified gazes.

There were quite a lot of people here, each shack was stuffed tightly, Little Reed Name swung his wings in the air and came back to report:
“About 600 people, I can’t count the exact ones, but some guys are hanging from the pole at the back, as if they are being punished, should we save them?”

“Save!”

Sister Pomegranate said with a sigh:

“It’s all over, it should be collected.”

“Ow.”

Vikrama drew his pistol in the air and fired a few shots towards the back, saving the guys hanging from the pole, but they froze the players as they landed with a mournful wail and yelp.

These guys were still conscious?
Garnet quickly spread her wings and glided over to grab a woman who wasn’t too dirty, but had a cape with “griffin” tattooed on her shoulder and arm.

She looked into the other woman’s weak but clearly awake eyes and asked:
“How many people are here?”

“Who knows.”

The woman who had been rescued responded in a very irritated tone:

“If they weren’t killed by the Calamity Rat King, then pretty much all of them are here, about 700 or so? I don’t know, I’ve been tied up here for days, I feel like I’m dying. Do you have any water? Bread would be fine, let me have a sip!”

“Cut the crap!”

When Sister Pomegranate heard this guy’s oily tone she knew that this woman must not have been in any legitimate business before, so her tone turned icy cold and questioned:

“Is there a second way out of here? We’re going to get you guys out of here.”

“Huh? Get out? Can’t get out.”

The woman turned around and saw a few of the Blood Vulture Matriarch’s personal guards standing at attention, and when she recognized these vampires, she shrunk her head knowing that she had met a tough opponent, and her tone of voice was no longer so arrogant, but instead she sighed and waved her hand weakly:
“The only way out is being watched by a few fighting gargoyles under the Rat King’s command, and my brothers wanted to escape when they realized that someone on the ground had reestablished order, but guess what?

Hey, their corpses were thrown into a hole that night for the creature to snack on.”

“So there is indeed a way out, right?”

Pomegranate Sister caught the key information.

She took a couple of apples out of her psychic bag and tossed them to the woman, who thankfully took them in her hands and nibbled on them a few times, but instead of eating them all, she tossed the rest to the three people beside her who were just as miserable as she was.

Those guys didn’t even bother to say thank you and nibbled on them, and it was obvious that they were really starving, even the apple cores didn’t let go and threw them into their mouths to chew them up and swallow them.

“Who the hell are you?”

This scene made Sister Pomegranate have some sort of suspicion about the identity of the woman in front of her, and she asked.

The woman rubbed her stomach and a rueful smile appeared on her dirty face, presumably trying to express goodwill, but then skimmed her lips in disinterest and said:
“Dorothy, people in the outer city call me ‘Razor’, that’s what everyone calls me to save face, I, on the other hand, used to be the boss of the Rat Pack, making a living in the sewers doing black market business, and then that shit Rat King took over my power.

He let me control these poor people, but only give me a little bit of food every day, it is clear that I want to take the initiative to get these poor people dead to send to the monster he raised.

Alas, I can’t be cruel, after all, they’re all neighbors.”

“So you got hung up?”

Next to him, Brother Stick also looked suspiciously at the woman in front of him, he could sense that the other party might not be telling the truth but right now was not the time to discuss this, he said in a deep voice:

“You immediately lead us to that exit guarded by the stone goblins!”

“You really want to take these people out?”

Dorothy looked at these “blood servants” in front of her in surprise, and she muttered in a low voice:
“They’ve all been fed drugs by the Rat King, they’re so confused that they don’t know how to fight back, even if we take them out, they’ll still be a burden, in Transylvania, no one will risk their lives for these people who are already dead.”

“That’s what we need to consider.”

Good Dove is kind hearted can’t see people suffer, this will see this woman is still gabbing then shouted to:

“You! Quickly lead the way! Otherwise, I’ll execute you as a cohort of that asshole Rat King!”

“Aiya, don’t yell, little brother, I’ll lead the way, okay?”

Dorothy weakly got up, she said with some concern:

“But the stone ghosts over there are very powerful, much more powerful than the kind used by the vampires, they are said to be the combat models that the Rat King got back from other places, I’m afraid that this number of you guys are a bit hung up.”

“Ch, Salokdar has been killed by us, a mere stone goblin is just you! Hurry up and lead the way!”

Bull carried his shield and said disdainfully.

These words made Dorothy’s eyes tighten, she immediately realized that the ground must have flipped over, no wonder the Rat King had to hide in this hellish place all this time and didn’t dare to go out, but this was a good thing for her situation nowadays ah!

A great good thing!
Hey, it’s saved! —
“Bang.”

Maxim’s finely crafted shield was struck again, the enchanted surface of the shield was dented and clawed, and the horrific force of the blow made the “monster”, who was already known for his strength, feel like his arm was about to be snapped off.

In front of the ghoul overlord roared and slapped again, Maxim did not dare to block again, saw the opportunity to come to the night bat swiftly transformed into a bat perfectly dodged this blow.

But failing to hit the target made the unformed ghoul overlord more and more angry, its shoulder protruding bone spikes after a buildup of strength like a cannonball in all directions.

Its force was strong enough to crack mountains and rocks.

It was fortunate that Natalie and Leonia were both flexible people and would not be hit by this kind of straightforward attack.

The Bow Knights kept shooting scarlet arrows while gliding and dodging in the air, these Blood Alliance Knights’ special armor piercing cones were attached with psychic energy, and when they hit their targets, they would ignite the opponent’s blood to make them suffer.

However, the armor piercing cones that could pierce through steel armor were very difficult to inflict effective damage on the ghoul overlord’s underworld skin, and it was necessary for Leonia to use her full strength sniping arrows to pierce through the opponent’s body.

The one of the three that could deal effective damage was the Great Oak Sacred Blade.

The purifying psychic energy that came with the Watcher needed no introduction to the restraints of evil spirits, and every slash was able to inflict indescribable pain and kill this monster.

However, they were facing a gold-ranked death creature!
Even though it had yet to be molded and was only stuck amongst silver and gold, its undead minions called out by the power of death and its terrifying necromantic poison were still not something that could be dealt with casually, Maxim’s melee moves had already begun to go out of shape, which meant that he was under a very great deal of pressure.

After he used Night Bat Transformation once again to escape the Ghoul Overlord’s frantic cuts, Natalie immediately stepped forward to fill in the gap, replacing Maxim and shifting backwards.

“We need support!” Quickly clearing away the awakened ghoul minions around the filthy blood pit with a series of arrows, Laneia shouted out while firing her bow again:

“This thing’s Underworld aura is infesting our bodies, we have to have a wide-ranging psychic purification to cut off its connection to the Underworld Plane, otherwise there’s no way we can win this fight!”

“At this point! Where do you want me to find you a purifier? You elf is really talking nonsense with your eyes open.”

Maxim said as he coughed up black blood while checking the information from the arithmetic pearl:

“Lady Tris is already on her way, she brought the materials for casting spells, hold on.”

“Bang.”

Before the words left her mouth, Natalie was smashed out like a cannonball and smashed beside Maxim with a gray head.

But despite that, she was still holding the Great Oak Blade in her hand with a death grip.

Both melee fighters were repulsed, and the ghoul overlord who was no longer hindered suddenly let out an excited war roar, and in the constant pull of Soul Snatcher’s Roar, Leonia was soon being chased around.

But this Silver ranked Bow Knight did have real skills, she could still fire uninterruptedly during the melee chase.

“You guys exit!”

Natalie climbed to her feet and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, placing the Holy Blade in her hand as she seemed to be casting a spell that just looked unbeatable.

Bright green runes pulsed from all of its cheeks.

She forced herself to hold back the discomfort in her body and said in a muffled voice:
“An outbreak of natural psychic energy with divinity attached will affect you as well, come back in in at least a minute!”

“Are you okay?”

Maxim asked, and Natalie muffled:

“I have to try if I can or not, it’s my first time using divine magic too may the god Avalon bless us tonight.”

“Merciful Avalon really wants to send down blessings here, then we both will be dead.”

Laneia activated the Hunter secret art and with a long blink jumped to Maxim’s side, pulling up the injured monster and rushing out of the cave.

She was dry, not doubting Natalie’s determination to fight in the slightest.

After all, she was a “Chosen One” who could wield the Holy Blade, and would never die here in a hurry.

Well, probably not. Right?
However, just as Natalie’s nature magic chanted its final moments, a scarlet rift quietly opened up in this filthy place, and Tris, who was holding the Serenade Scepter in her hand, came out carrying a box containing spell-casting materials, humming a song.

Behind her, a spiritual energy tremor composed of complex scarlet secret text was already suspended, obviously preparing to cast Lord Scarlet Witch’s secret technique to clean up this yet to be formed plague ghoul overlord, so as to demonstrate her majesty as an Archduke of the Blood Wyvern.

As a result, the confident Blood Vulture Archduke had just stepped into the cave, when the bright green light that filled his face with purifying divinity exploded like sunlight.

Divine magic paste face?

Is this a trap? Is the bad-eyed Witch Hunter planning to kill the Ghoul Overlord and himself along with him? Are you that big-hearted?

Tris: “????”

Natalie: “…”

There was no way, the president of the adventurer’s guild had already seen Tris, but there was no way to interrupt the divine magic that had reached its final moments at all, with a vine stabbing out from the rock walls on all sides, as well as purifying power from the gods just as the green sun fist was ready to go.

She wondered if it was just an illusion.
Her Avalonian gods had been particularly responsive this night, as if even the spirits were expecting some unreliable vampire archduke to suffer.

Seconds later, Tris’s angry and helpless scream echoed through the emerald green cavern:
“Natalie! You’re doing this on purpose aren’t you! Wasn’t it just that you beat up your old man more than a hundred years ago? Why do you hold such a grudge? No wonder you were recognized by the Watchers. You and your sword are both a pair of careful eyes!”

Outside the cave, Maxim and Ms. Leonia, who were supporting each other, watched this “teleportation accident” with wide eyes.

After several seconds of embarrassment, the Silver Bow Knight coughed and said:
“Taking a Nature Divine Art head-on and still being so energized, it seems that Lord Scarlet Witch’s legend is true, she deserves to be the genius of our clan.”

“Our Archduke is a genius I admit it.”

Maxim whispered:
“But this luck, well, as she said herself, it does fall short by a little bit.”

In the upper cavern, Murphy abruptly sheathed the blade of cold teeth in his hand.

The four elite ghouls that were frozen in front of him and behind him moved forward with his steps, and the frozen stinking corpses burst apart like crushed ice music into the ground.

Necessary Evil will also not talk about the “rotten blood I do not eat” this kind of self-rule, probably sensed the floating bad mood in Murphy’s heart, let it obediently into the ferocious cruise hunting, in the dark cavern back and forth, the ghouls and ghosts killed at a rapid pace.

Bailiff Kudel would be resting on his scarlet greatsword in front of a rock wall blocked by psychic energy in front of him, and he had already cut down most of the elite ghouls in this cavern before Murphy arrived.

To be honest, although Kudel was not the strongest vampire Murphy had ever seen, he was definitely the fiercest blood swordsman.

Although this guy’s brain might still be a bit wattish, his destructive power and fighting strength were indeed ridiculously strong, probably stemming from the fact that he had a belief in his heart that other vampires did not possess, allowing him to burst out with a power that far exceeded that of his class.

“He’s in there.”

Kudel said to the approaching Murphy:

“Probably casting some escape spell, or perhaps asking for help for his fellow villains, I’m not very good at psychic powers, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Hmm? You’re not even remotely interested in learning about the Archduke’s secrets since you recognized him as Tris’s heir?”

Murphy reached out and clasped his hand in the air, the flying Necessary Evil landed firmly in the palm of his hand and he turned his wrist to shake off the foul-smelling blood from the blade.

He asked:
“Moreover, you have already hunted this far, won’t you feel uncomfortable if you don’t see the first evil subdued with your own eyes?”

“I didn’t come here to kill.”

Kudel shouldered his heavy sword and turned around without delay.

He said in a deep voice:

“I’m just here to fulfill my duty, as a civil protection officer, I must protect the people here.”

“Then please escort them away, those people I will accept and save.”

Murphy raised the Necessary Evil and stabbed into the psychic boundary blocked in front of him, and the psychic barrier, which could withstand the attack of Kudel’s heavy sword, was ripped apart quickly under the piercing of the Midnight Miracle Thing.

He didn’t even need to hear it, he could feel the fear of the “Rat King” hiding in it.

What a bastard.

“Kudel!”

He shouted back to the civil protection officer who had stepped into the darkness as Murphy tore open the psychic boundary and was about to step into it:
“I’m about to start clearing out the jackal banditry in Transylvania in anticipation of more homeless for a better existence in this great land, and the Black Plague that once buried your life is coming.

I mean, you still have a lot of people to protect.

I don’t know if you’ve regained your senses, but if you wish to bring the order you want to this land, then I’ll be waiting for you in the Blood Wyvern Cloisters tomorrow night.

I know you loathe all vampires, you even loathe yourself.

But I assure you, we are not like Salokdar, we are not like the other vampires, we are all deviants under the midnight and we can help each other.”

The Bailiff’s footsteps paused, but instead of giving an answer, he eventually continued to stride and disappeared into the darkness.

Murphy didn’t care either.

By the time he turned his head, that handsome and handsome face was already covered with the frost before killing. The culprit in front of him might indeed be Tris’ heir.
But so what?
If you do something bad, you have to die, it’s the same in any world, right? Why should this scumbag in front of him be an exception?
