Harvest

Buzz buzz buzz!

A large number of flies suddenly flew into the sewer, and in addition to the buzzing of the flies themselves, there were also sharp sounds of Metal Armor.

"Are the flies... here?"

Agatha leaned against the wall, the Sin Manifestation great deal of her energy, leaving her with deep cuts all over her body.

She was chewing on the crystal food given to her by Karlien, rapidly restoring her strength. Even the wound area was emitting a faint green light to aid in self-healing.

However, her expression was not pleasant.

She had thought they were just some tumor soldiers, but she never expected them to be such a troublesome bunch, each one of them capable of taking her life.

Looking in the direction of the fly,

A rusty metal boot emerged from the corner of the sewer, followed by a moldy suit of armor, with visible fly eggs and crawling maggots visible in the gaps.

The armor was slender and elongated in shape.

The helmet protrudes forward, revealing a long mouthpart structure.

The cape on the back of the armor is also presented as a wing structure, as if the cape is connected to their body and is part of their body.

Plague Knight

The knight units of the Original Pus were all beings who had achieved demonic ascension. At this time, they happened to be stationed at Navel Port, and upon seeing that the important sewers had been destroyed, they rushed over.

The leader was carrying Greatsword on his back. The metal scabbard was covered with proliferating blood vessels that wove together symbols related to the plague curse.

With the arrival of the Plague Knight,

Agatha simply showed the Wanted Poster.

He also pointed to Korlion, whose body was now only a third of its original size, lying on the ground to the side.

The Plague Knight immediately used his compound eyes to perform a rapid scan, and after confirming the information was correct, he did not make things difficult for the rider. According to Hell's rules, no responsibility will be pursued for damage to areas caused by battles triggered by Wanted Poster.

Moreover, provoking a monk for no reason is one of the most foolish things to do in True Hell.

Just as the knights were about to leave and were about to call the repairman to come and do the work,

Buzz buzz buzz!

A fly darting around seemed to have spotted a suspicious crack in the wall and even caught a whiff of something strange through it.

The Plague Knight stopped abruptly and turned to approach the suspicious crack in the door.

Just as they were about to get close, two figures suddenly emerged from around the corner, and the swarm of flies immediately moved closer.

Karlien was helping the badly injured Luo Di slowly walk out.

"Uncle Salas."

A distinctly Demonic language emanated from beneath the Plague Knight's helmet, "Karlien? What are you doing here?"

"Under Lord Eye's arrangement, the lighthouse keeper's job is temporarily waived. I now need to follow this Luo Di envoy to the dark side."

We just finished working with Sister Agatha to kill Wanted Criminal operating in this area.

"Um?"

The Plague Knight Commander no longer paid attention to the cracks in the wall discovered by the flies, but was instead drawn to Luo Di, the strange-looking messenger who exuded multiple auras.

"Black Spine Emissary, Hell Monk... a dual Hell Object entity, and also an extraterrestrial being."

Not only were they escorted by nuns, but Karlien also joined them. There must be a high-level arrangement behind this, and a very high one at that. However, whoever arranged it...

"When you return by ship, if Karlien is not on board and you are the only survivor, I will carry out the ultimate infection in the name of the Original Pus."

"OK."

Seeing that Luo Di nodded in affirmation without hesitation, the Plague Knight didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Once the buzzing of flies completely disappeared, Luo Di finally relaxed. He had almost been discovered in the secret room... If he had been discovered, all of Luo Di's plans would have been in vain.

"Karlien, thank you."

"It's alright. This is something you, Mr. Di, won at the cost of your life. It would be inappropriate to hand it over."

Besides, Uncle Salas is actually a very good person. He's very capable, but he was stationed in Navel Port because of certain ideological differences.

"Um."

Karlien continued to grow edible crystals from his palm. Luo Di quickly took them and ate the chocolate-like substance. His spine immediately received energy, and his injuries began to heal faster.

Without Karlien's involvement, the outcome of this battle would have been very different.

Tap tap tap!

The three-person team climbed the stairs and arrived once again at Korlion's underground chamber, looking at the biological instrument constructed from the skulls of dozens of insects.

Agatha was seeing this for the first time and was completely shocked by the design. She also roughly guessed the special route Korlion wanted to take.

"This guy Korlion wants to abandon his Spinewalker identity, or rather, he wants to pursue brain development through a different path! Once he successfully ascends to demonhood in this way, he will become a very special Spinewalker, similar to that [Eye] among you Spinewalkers."

The development of paracortical features related to the brain is supported by the spine.

However, such a biological instrument is not something he could build on his own.

I've never seen anything like it in the Grand Monastery's library; someone must have told him to do it this way, or he got the blueprints from somewhere.

Just as Agatha finished speaking, Luo Di pulled a yellowed parchment from his pocket.

The parchment contains the design drawings for this skull.

It is titled "The Path of Slaughter and Skulls".

Not only did they draw the specific shape of the instrument, but they also wrote down the connection method of each skull piece and the production process in detail, and clearly mentioned that insects needed to be killed and fresh skull pieces needed to be used for the production.

The back of the parchment was branded with a strange mark – "Molten Gold Skull Scale".

1. A skull made of lava, with liquid gold flowing from the eye sockets.

2. A scale with the Devil horns growing on the top of the skull, the left tray is a scepter, and the right tray is a silver coin.

Agatha recognized the meaning of the mark at a glance. "This is... something from the Hell Merchants Guild! It's a valuable ' Gate Manuscript.' No wonder this guy can make something like this all by himself; he has Gate Manuscript to back him up."

These kinds of Gate Manuscript are very expensive; he shouldn't be able to afford them, right? After all, he's just an exiled man; where would he get the contribution from? Wait, could it be that..."

Agatha quickly examined Korlion's mutilated body and, sure enough, found the merchant caravan's mark on the back of his head, which had been missed before due to his dirty, disheveled hair.

"This guy has signed a loan agreement with the merchant guild! Once he completes his ascension to demonhood, he will be forced to go to the merchant guild to work for them and pay off his debts. Moreover, these debts often take years or even decades to repay."

certainly,

Only individuals with potential certified by the Chamber of Commerce are eligible for loans; ordinary people don't even have the right to go in and negotiate terms.

This guy is a real genius. If he hadn't run into us by chance, he probably would have completed his ascension to demonhood in less than a week, and his deeds would have been remembered in the True Hell.

Luo Di seemed not to have heard a word of Agatha's explanation.

His gaze remained fixed on the design drawings.

"This instrument will be completed in the end, only missing the skull of an insect. It's such a pity."

"Luo Di, you wouldn't want to..." Agatha sensed something unsettling.

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of demon-ascension method, and I won't harm innocent people."

I just wanted to see Korlion's door.

After all, he had signed a loan agreement.

For several more years, they hid deep within the stench-filled sewers.

And at great risk, Dead End insects.

His body was already decaying before he fought us, and perhaps once he ascends to demonhood, he will completely shed his current physical form.

According to the parchment, outsiders should also be able to wear the skull and go to the "door" that exists between the consciousness of the instruments.

I plan to take a look.

If I experience any health problems during this time, please destroy the equipment immediately.

"Fine... Luo Di, you wanted this device from the beginning, didn't you? That's why you deliberately lured this guy out of the secret room and chose to carry out the killing in the sewer area."

"I want to see more, special, other people's doors, as much inspiration as possible."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll determine whether it's necessary to damage the equipment based on the metal vibrations inside your body."

Without hesitation, Luo Di walked toward the instrument, while Agatha waited quietly by his side.

As for Karlien, he seemed a bit sleepy and fell asleep right there on the messy bed.
