Destructive Evil Demon

These words were spoken.

The surroundings immediately fell silent.

The "Withered King," who had just been acting like a grumpy old man, obediently shut his mouth.

Roger saw this.

This further confirmed my judgment!

Start from Wind Chasing Trail.

The true mastermind behind all the strange events he encountered—

He's actually the Captain who arrived in a starship back then! He's the "God of War".

He was the one who left Yu Song's diary at the Sky Nest.

He is the "Withered King".

Lord of the New Spring Church.

It was him too.

This guy is a master cunning schemer with countless hidden identities! If it weren't for Roger's meticulous planning...

If one has a deeper understanding of the word "scheming".

It's hard to guess the astonishing truth behind all of this!

At the beginning.

Roger also fell into some misconceptions.

He believes that what happened to the frogmen was more like a "faith experiment".

The Captain himself is suspected to be the owner of "Simulated Divinity".

There is little need to conduct such a basic experiment.

But Yu Song's death.

Roger suddenly realized something: the Captain really didn't need to use frogmen as test subjects.

But he may need other people to be the test subjects for his "godhood experiment".

in other words.

If the frogmen were Yu Song's experimental subjects...

So, Yu Song.

It was the Captain's test subject!

"Simulated Divinity" is a highly unstable personality simulator.

When the Captain uses this item.

It must be like walking on thin ice.

At this point, it wouldn't be more appropriate to find a Lucky One to scout the way.

It's obvious.

Yu Song played such a role.

In this way...

The main points of the matter then became clear—

Under the Captain's meticulous planning.

Yu Song "by chance" obtained the Simulated Divinity.

The Extraordinary Mage was certainly not a reckless person.

So he went to Wind Chasing Trail and found frogmen and Harpy to conduct experiments.

But unfortunately, he ran into Roger.

This is how the story begins.

Yu Song's death made Roger question the Captain's fate again.

And then he came into contact with the "Wither Cult" and the "New Spring Church".

I was basically 80-90% certain in my mind.

The reason is quite simple.

On the "Wind Chasing Trail".

The original frogmen and Harpy all had Divine Power Shield of different colors.

At that time, they were hostile to each other and had many conflicts.

But they just couldn't actually start fighting.

Instead, the other monsters on Wind Chasing Trail suffered, allowing these two monsters to become the overlords.

In the "Southern Tomb Wilderness".

The Wither Cult and the New Spring Church.

It's a familiar feeling! The two major churches are clearly in opposition.

However, these organizations have continued to grow and expand over the years, while other organizations have been squeezed out of their living space!

The signs that the person behind the scenes is trying to manipulate Yu Song are too obvious!

certainly.

All of the above are just Roger's speculations.

Therefore, during this campaign against the Withered Cultist.

He deliberately used the "Ammunition Expert" ability frequently in order to test the person behind the scenes!

The trial yielded very satisfactory results.

Roger learned this from Cisco.

The "Withered King" mentioned his profession when submitting the commission.

From that moment on.

He was pretty sure the other person was the Captain.

Because in Mystra.

Very few people even know the profession of "Ammunition Expert"!

Strictly speaking...

The Captain hadn't actually offended Roger.

Yu Song's incident.

He has been trying to keep the peace.

It's a pity.

He has completely embarked on the path of an evil god.

The actions of the Wither Cult.

A container of flesh and blood before my eyes.

Even if there are no tasks.

Roger wouldn't tolerate him either!...

"You're really pushing your luck..."

The voice finally rang out again. "Why should an being of your stature care about the lives of mortals?"

Upon hearing this...

Cisco and Stephanie both tensed up.

The two exchanged a glance.

They quickly began communicating using their unique method of eye contact.

Cisco (winks his left eye): They look familiar.

Stephanie (blinking frantically): Rank? Is it the rank I'm thinking of?

Cisco (blinks his right eye twice): You mean it's normal? Indeed, it's perfectly normal for a suspected Immortal-grade powerhouse to know a few evil gods. Maybe they're even old friends, the kind who've turned against each other.

Stephanie (blinking frantically): You mean his status is higher than immortality? Impossible! Doesn't that mean we have hope of resisting the end of the world?

The two finished their exchange.

He looked very satisfied.

They both felt that the other had perfectly understood their meaning.

But Roger's expression grew increasingly serious.

The Captain's attempts to make conversation made him sense danger.

"He's stalling for time!"

The next second.

He closed his eyes, placed his hands on the container, and activated his senses to the extreme! Countless terrifying and grotesque images came flooding back.

"Extraordinary Perception: You have discerned an extremely evil ritual, the ' Ancient Blood Sacrifice '."

"Walk!"

Without saying a word, Roger ran swiftly in the direction he sensed!

The others immediately followed.

Traverse the rugged underground passageways.

Two minutes later.

They stood at the edge of a stone forest.

The scene before me was shocking.

But then, one after another, strange stone pillars rose from the ground.

Each stone pillar was pierced by a fresh corpse!

Every corpse had wide-open eyes and a terrified expression.

It was as if he had seen something incredible before he died.

"They're all from the ' New Spring Church Expeditionary Force '!"

Roger couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Among these corpses.

Connecting to streams of clean, clear blood.

Upon closer inspection.

You can also see that the blood is flowing slowly.

Countless streams of blood intertwined.

It resembles a thick spider web.

It also resembles a series of hammocks pieced together.

In the center of a dreamlike, blood-red hammock.

A man was lying there, fast asleep.

The man's skin was completely burned.

It has no body hair.

The blood rushed and covered him.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of fresh blood formed.

The blood is still flowing backwards.

Gradually.

He was completely enveloped in it.

It formed a magnificent yet eerie pupa-like structure!...

"Hint: You have discovered Rezel, the First Patriarch of the Wither Cult"

"Insight: Rezel has entered the ' Devil's Egg ' state."

Roger was about to make a move.

The next second.

The pupa-like thing suddenly swelled up.

A pair of jet-black fingernails pierced through layers of blood membranes and instantly tore apart everything around them! Suddenly.

A man with a face and figure as perfect as a stone sculpture appeared before everyone.

He was completely naked, and his skin was extremely pink and tender.

And the blood-stained pupa that he had torn apart.

At this moment, they were being pulled backward by a mysterious force.

Blood blossoms fell from the sky.

The blood pupa's outer shell suddenly jerked up.

Finally, it slowly fell.

A stunning yet eerie "Blood Cloak" formed behind the man!...

"Notification: You have encountered the Lord-level monster ' Destruction Devil ' Rezel (LV59/Transcendent/Temporary Upgrade)"

"Temporary Promotion: Rezel has been granted a rank of 0.1 by the Withered King, possessing an unparalleled suppressive power in the realm of destruction."

"Kill!"

Roger gave Cisco a wink, then charged forward himself! The Quasi-Horned Demon, on the other hand, kept their distance.

Because this is not a battle they can interfere in!

Cisco's figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

Stephanie took several steps back, holding a dirty little bear in her hand.

Rezel seemed somewhat dazed after waking up.

He kept blinking.

Even when he saw Roger charging at him with his knife, he made no move to resist.

"Clang!"

The Red Moon Blade slashed down on the demon's neck.

The Blood Cloak blocked the fatal blow.

The cut only left a faint white mark on the other person's skin, and it healed very quickly!

"What kind of defense is this?"

Roger gritted his teeth and delivered a Groin Kick to the groin.

This time.

A look of pain finally appeared on the demon's face.

at the same time.

Cisco suddenly appeared behind the demon.

He held a pale yellow dagger in his hand, and with a single swift movement, he pierced the demon's nape! "Ah..."

"I remember now... I am the Child of Destruction!"

"Everyone must die!"

Amidst the whispers of evil spirits.

The Blood Cloak suddenly billowed up and transformed into two blood-red blades, stabbing towards Roger and Cisco respectively! Fortunately, both of them were on guard.

They all avoided each other.

But the gradually awakening demons will not let them off easily.

He was incredibly fast, and almost instantly he was back on top of Cisco had caused him some damage.

This forced the latter to use "Shadow Stepping Stone" twice in a row.

Only then did he manage to shake off the demon's hatred in a disheveled state! Fortunately, the newly born Rezel was in a somewhat unstable condition.

He doesn't seem to be adjusting to his physical condition.

After being outmaneuvered by Cisco.

His attacks hit the stone pillar several times in a row!

"Insight: You have detected that the ' Destruction Devil's' Agility and Constitution are both above 20."

"Grass!"

Roger touched the blade of Red Moon, his expression very solemn.

This monster is far more threatening than the Two-Headed Dragon!

The scariest thing is...

His power continues to grow stronger.

He possesses a "temporary rank" of the Destruction Domain, meaning this guy can achieve incredible growth through destruction! We must kill him while he's still adapting!

We absolutely cannot let him leave!

At present.

Roger clenched his right fist and casually asked, "Any ideas?"

Unexpectedly, a faint voice came from the darkness. "Yes."

"But it needs to be controlled a little."

"Moreover, I am only confident that I can bring him to the Near-Death State; the final harvest will require your personal intervention."

Upon hearing this...

Roger immediately loosened his fist.

The next second.

Two beams of bluish-gray light suddenly shot out from his eyes!...

I'll definitely finish writing this part of the plot in the next chapter! I'll continue to beg for monthly votes! By the way, in case new readers don't know, the daily update times are 12:00 and 20:00.
