Some strange diseases began to appear in Etan City. Many people suddenly fell down while working, resting or walking on the road, as if they had lost all their strength. It was very difficult to even straighten a finger.
"I feel like my body has been hollowed out!" One patient said to the doctor at the clinic, his lips trembling as if he had exhausted all his strength just by opening his mouth.
What's even more weird is that every day that passes, these patients begin to age crazily, and every day seems to them like a year has passed.
In just over a month, they went from teenagers to young adults, passed through middle age and entered aging. From their original green appearance, they turned into gray-haired and chicken-skinned people. The doctors in the city and even the priests used this kind of magic. There is no cure for strange diseases.
Everyone was aging little by little in pain, and could not resist watching themselves turn into a mummy-like existence, and then die in an extremely ugly manner. Such a terrifying situation made the doctors at the medical center tremble with fear, and some rumors also began to spread throughout the city.
Even if all the discovered patients are isolated, new patients are still being produced, and panic is born in Etan City.
"This is not a disease, it's a curse!" A tall and sturdy old man with only a few inches of gray hair shaved off looked particularly sharp. As soon as he walked into the medical building, he saw some ordinary patients. , said immediately and affirmatively.
Miles is a retired clergyman and a peak level three professional. He is over one hundred and ninety years old. Both his physical and mental activity have begun to decline. He has no chance of advancing to level four. Even if he is forced to Breakthrough and the possibility of advancement were slim, so Miles returned to his hometown to retire.
The city's ruling officials and the Sun Temple had no choice but to invite him out, hoping that he, who was well-informed, could solve the crisis in Etan City.
"Curse! How is it possible? The magic of the sacrifice has no effect on it!" said the Temple Knight Captain of the Sun Temple on the side.
Miles raised his head and said: "There are some special curses on the soul that are not so easy to identify by ordinary magic, and this is even more true for the advanced curses of necromancers and demon warlocks!"
"This situation is already in the category of extraordinary power, so it can only be a curse. Are there any more serious patients?"
Miles saw the quarantined patients in another three-story building of the hospital. Every one of them looked like a ghost, with sunken eyes, completely emptied of energy, and as if there was no fat on their bodies. and muscles, leaving only a piece of skin sticking to the bones. This scene is so terrifying that people are speechless.
Miles held the sacred emblem and prayed silently with the goddess's holy name. The sacred emblem glowed, dispelling the gloomy and cold atmosphere tens of meters around him. He opened the eyelids of a patient, and as the magic he performed intensified, , everyone saw flickering green flames and ugly abyss worms from the patient's pupils.
"Devil! It's a demon!" The doctors around them retreated one after another, and even the Templar Knights in the Temple felt frightened. The demon from the abyss is the most difficult to deal with. He is more difficult and terrifying than the demon warlock and the necromancer, because every The appearance of a demon means that a door to the abyss is opened around them.
"No! Not an ordinary demon!"
Miles held the holy emblem high, grabbed the patient's head with his other hand, and immediately saw him struggling violently.
"Kick, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak! Drink~"
It made a piercing cry like an old wooden door when it was closed. It was completely unlike the weird sound that a human throat could make. Myers' strong arms held the opponent tightly and actually grabbed it out of his head. A strange fire-red insect appeared.
"The Bartos Demonic Insect, this is the Bartos Demonic Insect, a monster from the 82nd layer of the abyss, the bottom abyss!"
"Someone is summoning the abyss and offering sacrifices to the demon lord of the abyss, Bartos! Trying to summon the coming of the abyss!"
At this moment, even Miles's throat was a little deformed. In his nearly two hundred years of life, he had never encountered such a thing. The person who could open the door of the abyss must be at least a fourth-level demon warlock. , and the demon warlock who met the fourth level was a demon warlock who had opened the door to the abyss and made sacrifices to the abyss, and was about to be corrupted and transformed.
Even the strong men of the Sun Church are not able to encounter such an incident. This is not something they can handle. Even Miles cannot solve such a crisis.
"Check, there must be arrangements by demonic sorcerers in the city. We must find the gate of the abyss - the Talos Gate!"
"There are a total of forty-three demon sorcerers of level four and above on the list of the Arbitration Knights. I don't know which one escaped to Etan City."
Miles and others searched Etan City all over, and finally saw the place of blood sacrifice in an underground icehouse, as well as a black diamond-shaped crystal half a meter high. Under the movement, the space was constantly broken and condensed. The will of the world is repelling it from entering this world, but the power from the abyss makes it continue to grow.
"It's already so big. It can't be done. It's already too late. We don't have the power to close this open door to the abyss!" After many attempts, Miles and the others desperately discovered that they had not closed the door. , they are fighting against the power of the abyss, and against the demon lord Bartos.
Miles then wanted to contact the outside world through the magic telegraph machine to request support, but found that the only channel for Etan City to contact the outside world had been destroyed. The next steam train would not return until half a month later, but they Little did he know that the train track had been damaged. No matter how quickly the repairs were carried out, it would not be possible to reach Etan City in a short time.
They felt that a hand had already controlled everything, and a mist-like shadow was looking down at them greedily and viciously, wanting to sell all their souls to the devil in exchange for a ticket to the abyss.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We'll have people go out and apply for rescue right away!" the Templar captain said angrily.
Miles took a deep breath, and his already old body suddenly stood up straight: "It's too late, it will take at least a month to come back, and the gate of the abyss will open in half a month at the latest. By then...it will be too late!"
"Furthermore, do you think the person we sent out can deliver the letter alive? He is a demon warlock with the lowest level four. He is hiding in the dark at the moment, secretly watching our movements."
"Maybe we can leave here and take everyone out of the Amos Icefield!"
"The coldness of the Amos Icefield. If there is no alchemy boiler to provide heating, no one can survive for ten days. With 20,000 people across the Amos Icefield, except for professionals like us, most of the people will die. On the way!"
The priest of the temple looked at Miles: "Then what should we do?"
Miles' eyes were filled with fire, as if he had found the passionate passion of his youth again: "Let's find him and fight him to the death!"
"The Amos Icefield only has a population of 20,000. Every outsider who appears will definitely leave traces. We will definitely be able to find him!"
"At night, we gather in the temple and hold a war meeting!"
Miles returned to his wooden house and dug out from under the bed board the holy sword that had accompanied him in combat for 150 years. He relied on it to reach the pinnacle of the third-level profession and became a member of the Templar Arbitration Knights team. Long dependence.
The first generation of Templars, the earliest Templar Knight Ibrahimovic who followed the great Lion King Will to found the Holy Sevier Empire, left the holy sword left by Ibrahimovic. Even in the Church of the Sun, it is enough to be called a holy object!
Ibrahimovic was once an orc living on the Amos Icefield tribe. He followed the Lion King Will and raised troops from the north to conquer the world and established the Holy Sevier Empire. In the end, his holy sword remained in the Amos Icefield. Above all, it was acquired by the young Miles, which led to Miles' wonderful life.
