Scarlet Corruption!!!

Doslai Bo belongs to one of the Four Heavenly Kings' battle groups.

Each Demon King has several battle groups, and each battle group is further divided into several smaller groups led by generals. Doslai Bo is the Army Commander of one of these smaller groups.

He seems to be a minor character?

But in reality, this was a position above ten thousand men. Every Army Commander was a candidate for general, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them generals-in-arms.

He alone was enough to destroy Val City, but for some reason, he chose to slowly corrupt the city in secret with dozens of his subordinates, using the Fallen Devil Egg to increase the number of cannon fodder, and finally successfully turned it into a city of flesh and blood!

So why would he do that? What benefit would it bring him to turn Val City into a spectacle? It would only invite unnecessary attacks.

All of this stemmed from a change within the demon race: the old priest who adhered to tradition was killed, and the newly appointed priest blatantly broke with tradition, bringing about a series of changes.

It was this transformation that forced Doslai Bo to rack his brains to build wonders on this continent.

"Have you taken pictures of everything?"

In the pool of blood, he slowly sipped a glass of liquid that was hard to tell whether it was red wine or blood, his leisurely demeanor revealing his power.

"Yes, sir, as you requested, all ten Image Stones have been filled." His subordinate, a bat-like monster Ke Jie Kejie, bowed and replied.

"Send it to the other nine Army Commander, and the last one to the priest."

Doslai Bo still looked smug, muttering to himself:

"Now my score will definitely surpass everyone else's."

"Sir, you are absolutely the best choice to be the next general," Ke Jie complimented in time, and then said, "The human coalition is about to arrive. I have sent out Transformed Species to intercept them, but I don't think they can last more than half an hour."

Transformed Species – this is the term used within the demon race to refer to demons who were transformed from humans using the Fallen Devil Egg.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Two days had passed since Bede City officially dispatched its troops, and the allied forces were about to arrive in Val City. War was imminent.

"Very good,"

Doslai Bo smiled, looking cunning and treacherous.

"No matter how many of the Transformed Species die, there's no need to worry. They were originally human beings; this is a self-destructive conflict among humans."

He looked up at the sky, where strands of blood-red threads were converging on the City of Flesh. Whether the dead were Transformed Species or humans, Val City could absorb their remaining flesh and blood.

Not only the City Lord's Mansion, but the entire city itself had turned into writhing flesh and blood, as if something was incubating within it.

It's unimaginable how many innocent people must have been slaughtered to create such a City of Flesh.

The resentment clinging to flesh and blood seemed to transform into dark clouds in the sky, making the sky so black it looked like it was about to collapse, with muffled thunder rumbling among the clouds.

"They're growing well,"

He rubbed his eyes with his finger, activating Telescopic Magic that allowed him to see the battlefield not far away.

The allied forces, numbering in the thousands, are slaughtering the Transformed Species; these cannon fodder are nothing to the seasoned adventurers.

This ordeal, of course, refers to a certain underground city.

Less than half an hour later, the allied forces had eliminated the first wave of Transformed Species and reached the Val City.

They were all shocked by the twisted and grotesque City of Flesh before them, and the soaring blood energy caused some of the guards with weaker constitutions to vomit violently.

"Hehe," Doslai Bo laughed smugly.

He noticed a richly dressed man among the allied forces giving orders and organizing the Priest and mages to attack Val City.

That must be a noble among humans; it's worth capturing it.

With a thought, Doslai Bo unleashed a second, even more powerful wave of Transformed Species that burst forth from the ground and charged toward the allied forces.

But the latter did not panic. As if they had expected it, they responded in an orderly manner. Behind these infantrymen were catapults and other war machines that were slowly approaching.

"Heh heh heh, want to wage a siege war? Typical human thinking,"

He withdrew his gaze. "We have been silent for too long. The world has forgotten the terror of the demon race. It's time for them to experience it for themselves."

Ke Jie also revealed a sinister smile. At this moment, Doslai Bo said to him:

"Go to the underground city and call up your fellow countrymen. It's time to satisfy their thirst for blood."

"When I have slaughtered humanity to the point of utter defeat, I will make everyone come out and experience despair, and not a single one will escape!"

Ke Jie kept clapping and complimenting him.

"Oh, and remember to take a picture of my heroic figure,"

Doslai Bo added, "It will definitely be a plus."

Val City, Ka Rong stared at the City of Flesh with a grim face.

Compared to a city, the current Val City is more like a giant castle, with a completely different appearance than before. Its existence is a desecration of all the gods.

"My lord, the siege weapons are ready," his personal guard reported.

"Do you really think a few stones would have any effect on this evil thing?" Ka Rong countered.

The guard was speechless.

"To deal with the demons, Holy Light is naturally the best choice. You just need to protect the Priest. Siege weapons and the like are all on standby in the back."

"Yes!"

After the guards left, Ka Rong looked at one of the mercenaries beside him.

The man wore Bull Horn Helmet, had a broad back and a thick waist, and was covered with strong muscles. He was draped in a cloak made of the fur of an unknown wild animal, and looked extremely wild.

"Do you really have a way to deal with them?" Ka Rong frowned, his tone revealing deep distrust.

"Since you've chosen to cooperate, then don't doubt it," the mercenary's voice was rough, like the growl of a wild beast.

"No one knows Doslai Bo better than me."

"."

Ka Rong paused for a moment, then said:

"After the Holy Light Church takes action, you can go up, but don't make yourself too conspicuous."

The mercenary remained silent, staring at the towering City of Flesh, a disdainful sneer on his face.

The second wave of Transformed Species was clearly aimed at the Priest, but they failed thanks to everyone's best efforts to protect them.

At the same time, the Priest finished their chanting, and together they unleashed King Rank Holy Light Magic!

A radiant glow, as if descending from angels, gathered above the Val City, instantly dispelling the dark clouds. It was just a matter of time before it could fully take shape and bestow its purifying light upon the City of Flesh!

"Rumble, rumble—"

The earth suddenly began to tremble.

"Huh? Holy Light has this effect? It's like an earthquake!"

"Are you out of your mind? How could this be the effect of Holy Light? Look over there, you fucking idiot!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

"Val City has risen!"

Before everyone's eyes, four giant legs suddenly emerged from the bottom of the City of Flesh. This colossal creature stood up with a roar, reaching a height of 100 meters!

This scene brings to mind a classic Warhammer joke.

You've been transported to a world resembling the Middle Ages, and feeling it's time to give the feudal nobility a little 21st-century shock, you strive to develop productivity and lead a large rebellion to overthrow the corrupt aristocracy. However, upon reaching the nobles' castle—

"What do you mean by 'the lord's castle has stood up'?"

Above the City of Flesh, Doslai Bo was laughing maniacally.

In his view, the colossal object beneath his feet would surely crush the allied forces like insects.

The next step is to wait for Ke Jie to bring his demon brethren out of the dungeon and let humanity experience despair!

Val Dungeon.

The demons used the technology given to them by the priests to discover this silent underground city and forcibly opened a portal, using it as a starting point to gradually erode Val City.

Currently, the strongest Transformed Species and pure-blooded demons are waiting inside, ready to rush out and give humanity a huge demonic shock.

Like a humanoid bat, Ke Jie stormed into the Val Dungeon, shouting as soon as he entered:

"Get up now, you bastards, and prepare to face your blood and glory!"

The demons who were scattered around the open space immediately raised their heads, revealing expressions of joy.

"Why are there only a few of you?"

Ke Jie asked in confusion, because there were only a few demons here.

The demons looked at each other, their expressions strange, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

In the end, they managed to force a smile while sweating profusely, as if they were trying to hide something.

Ke Jie immediately figured out the answer, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Are these idiots still sleeping?! I've already warned them, absolutely no slacking off is allowed today!"

He rushed into the bronze ruins, navigating the complex paths until he arrived at the door of a dormitory.

The dormitory door was tightly closed, and it seemed that the people inside were still sound asleep.

In an inconspicuous little corner, there grew bizarre things that defy description, like some kind of fungus, some pale white and some bright red. Anyone with trypophobia would be terrified to death if they saw them.

If Starscourge General Radahn were here, he would definitely recognize this.

Ke Jie was furious and kicked the heavy bronze door, which was kicked open with a loud bang.

The demon lying on the bed remained motionless, seemingly determined to stay in bed.

Ke Jie rushed over and, cursing, dragged a fat and strong demon down!

"Still sleeping? You bastard, you dare to sleep? You—"

He suddenly got stuck.

This obese demon was covered in bizarre, mushroom-like growths. His nutrient-rich body was the perfect cradle for decay and growth. His expression was one of utter horror, as if he had witnessed something terrifying.

Ke Jie was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He seems a bit dead.

"What's going on?"

A bad feeling welled up in his heart. He then pulled over several other demons, and the same thing happened to them all!

Is this some kind of curse or a contagious disease? When did it appear in the dungeon?

"Cough cough,"

Ke Jie suddenly coughed twice, then his expression turned horrified.

He... he got infected too?

He burst out of the door and kicked open another dormitory door, but as soon as he opened it, he was sprayed in the face with red mist!

"Ugh!"

Ke Jie stumbled backward until he crashed into the wall, coughing violently as if trying to expel everything he had just inhaled, but it was all in vain.

He could clearly feel something taking root and sprouting inside him, and about to bear fruit.

The creature that sprayed smoke in his face was a round, harmless-looking creature.

[Scarlet Corruption Version of Terrestrial Sea Squirtles]

Indeed, what has taken root and sprouted in the bronze ruins is the nightmare from the Elden Ring – Scarlet Corruption!

This can be called a disease, a curse, or even a blessing from an external god. In any case, any creature infected with it will suffer a painful end in decay.

This is ten thousand times more deadly than poisoning. Even valiant demigods would be tormented to the point of wishing for death by the Scarlet Corruption, let alone these demons.

Ke Jie suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, feeling his life force rapidly decaying.

The unknown and fear filled his heart. He saw that the path he had come from had been covered with terrestrial sea squirts, and these creatures were spraying outwards a continuous stream of Scarlet Corruption.

Run! We have to run!

Ke Jie flapped his wings, turned, and ran off, rushing into the latter half of the area. He prayed that there was no such strange red smoke there, and that he could find a cure there.

However, just as he stepped into the second half of the area, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Be careful, don't let them find you.

What do you mean, "don't get discovered"?

Before Ke Jie could react, he rushed straight into the depths.

There, he met the gaze of a hunched figure.

The moment he saw the other person, he felt an itch in his eyes, as if he were seeing a ball of yellow flame.

The true identity of that figure is—

[Forbidden Touch Old Man]
