Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 672 Treading the Dust
Old Theon?
Didn't he disappear on the night of the hunt...?

But then I thought about it again.

The thing he did in the pleasure house was quite typical of his style.

...

……

hum! ! !
However, the situation was so unpredictable that there was no time to breathe. The Black Knife on the other side of the valley was killed, but there were still many, many more Black Knife active in the world of consciousness.

These slender shadows might seem vulnerable to Theon, but for anyone else facing the Black Blades, it would be a different story. The Black Blades are likely a specially trained force by the Golden Law Temple, a subordinate race that lives for slaughter. Among the many different races' messengers, the Black Blades are undoubtedly the most threatening. When they move at high speed, they can even make their bodies invisible. By the time you see their cloak and hood again, their curved and barbed short blade will already be embedded in your chest, tearing your soul apart.

...

Half of the Chaos Visioners were wiped out in a single encounter.

Then, one after another, his throat was slit without him even realizing it.

This team, which seemed like it would never end, now has fewer than thirty survivors.

This is a gap in all aspects of order, civilization, and foundation. They inherited a new and immature chaotic spiritual vision, and the one they followed was far too young compared to the master of those pillars of light in the sky.

One after another, the visionaries died by the black blade.

In addition, there are other lower races that are subservient to the Golden Tree. They carry the blessing of gold and harvest the few remaining conscious wills in the conscious world in various ways that are beyond human comprehension.

Of course, in the midst of the battle, they will also be subjected to indiscriminate attacks from the crazed old men.

The involvement of a third-party special force has made the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.

...

The melody of celestial sounds lingered above this burning land.

The blood-red clouds and eerie phenomena kept changing when people on the ground weren't paying attention.

The order of Geherus had silently enveloped the conscious world, while elements of chaos and madness seeped into the Earth's core like a virus.

As time went on, it seemed that some established rules were being distorted and broken, while new rules were beginning to emerge.

The indifferent, dead crops in the air seemed to be summoned by some kind of call.

For example, the building Milo had seen before, the huge tower woven from vines wrapped around the girl, in a fleeting moment, it seemed as if a slumbering, broken face within it blinked...

A chilling sensation then spread across the battlefield.

……

The distortion of the existing order is taking place subtly.

The gods of dreams are able to capture this phenomenon more clearly.

This is Geherus's ultimate impact on the conscious world.

Perhaps everyone's mind and body are deeply mired in chaos, or perhaps, as Marty, wrapped in a sheet, said, "All people and gods exist in a most real dream."

Now, the dreamer is being disturbed in his deep sleep.

Gherlos was the culprit who disturbed his sweet dreams.

...

Once this trend became apparent, the messengers of the gods intensified their attacks on the followers of Milo.

It's as if the only solution to this situation doesn't lie with Blood Moon Grohlose, but with Milo...

……

In a one-on-one situation, Milo had already given it his all.

Faith was a completely new power to him, one he had never truly mastered, nor even considered to possess. Yet now he had to rely on it to fight, and the very act of mastering and using it had exhausted Milo's mental and physical strength.

And it must be said that the gods' strategy worked.

Their messengers possessed the most ruthless methods of killing; the souls pierced and torn apart by the black blade did not die in the conventional sense. Completely annihilated, or rather, plundered along with them, was the faith of the deceased Chaos Visors.

This completely contradicts the Scarlet Cult's claim that faith is immortal.

Perhaps over the long course of time, the gods have mastered higher-dimensional means, enough to kill faith, and perhaps this is the reason for the decline and fall of the Crimson.

...

Milo was naturally aware of the distortion of the existing rules, but he couldn't afford to be distracted.

Because natural disasters are consuming his power.

A page of the Book of Flesh and Blood turned into a gaping maw that relentlessly tore at Milo's will; he could even feel the touch of those broken fangs and disgusting long tongues.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see something flash past him.

Immediately afterwards, the overwhelming elemental power of the natural disaster filled Milo's vision.

Only then did he realize that his power was declining at an alarming rate.

Because the Chaos Visors are almost at their breaking point.

……

...

"We should do something, right?"

This is the last law enforcement officer still standing in the eastern part of the battlefield.

But soon, the metal flowers that pierced through the ground shredded his limbs below the waist.

Blood mist mixed with bits of flesh exploded in the air.

The petals quickly shattered the remaining part of the law enforcement officer's body.

The metallic substance submerged back into the ground, and only after the blood mist and dust slowly emerged the slender shadow of the black blade, along with the nightmarish silhouettes of the other lower-ranking subordinate races behind it.

Witnessing all of this were the father and son of the Valrocan family, Kang and Finn.

They should have been sent back to Nanwei City, but the city was blocked by the worshippers of the Blood Moon and the collapsed ruins.

The law enforcement officers responsible for escorting them back have died tragically in the past few dozen seconds.

……

The father and son didn't really understand the so-called situation. All they knew was that Milo, who was at the forefront, was dying. He was being pinned to the ground and torn apart by that mountain-sized woman, and his followers were being slaughtered.

Similarly, on the other side of Nanwei City, Emma was also surrounded by malice.

Right now, they happen to possess something extremely important.

"I have to help in some way..."

They were cornered by the black knife. They could actually see Rebecca and Yan running frantically towards them from the far end of their field of vision.

Even Milo, who was struggling to survive, was trying to break free from the shackles of the natural disaster and rush to this side.

...

"You know everything, right, Dad?"

Finn suddenly said something that was hard to understand.

Ahead, through the blood mist, the black-clad figures moved with light steps, the dim light of their short blades reaching a distance close enough to sting the eyes of the father and son.

Finn raised the weapon buckle in his hand, which was engraved with a very simple rune.

"Marty said this thing is very important."

Kang did not speak.

In the distance, Yan, Wendigo, and Rebecca were stopped one after another by messengers from other temples, and those barbed black knives fell on them like raindrops.

...

But for the Valrocan father and son, whether the rescuers could arrive or not was no longer important. They showed no signs of tension, as if they already knew what was going to happen next.

"Let them get a little closer."

After a long silence, Kang seemed to have made up his mind when he saw the buckle.

He took the buckle and a whole bunch of weapon accessories.

The missing part has now been found, and this is the complete Canamaggi's Will.

……

And that is the truth.

Both the father and son had read this will aloud.

The summoning ritual requires both recitation and the use of will runes.

The first half has already been completed, consisting of Kang manufacturing weapons and Finn's late-night spying; both are the readers of the will.

The second half is quite simple.

Simply install the buckle in the correct position on the chain.

...

The moment the metal buckle was revealed, all the messengers of the gods on the battlefield seemed to be drawn by something, abandoning the ongoing slaughter and rushing madly toward the direction where the human father and son were!

The will of the gods finally realized that the clasp might be the key to breaking the curse on Milo, a situation that was not allowed to occur.

Almost instantly, all the black blades on the battlefield vanished, meaning they were moving at high speed.

In addition, there were knights blessed with gold and other vassal races of the temple, including the Shatak birds, the Nightmares, and the Serpents, all of whom turned on the offensive and surged in like a tidal wave.

……

However, no matter how terrifying their power and speed.

To complete the ceremony, simply fasten the metal buckle.

Everything seemed to have been pre-planned.

If Kang had engraved the rune on a difficult-to-install rapier when modifying the weapon, or if the other Matty hadn't stolen the clasp, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

But the truth is, what's missing is precisely a buckle.

All you need to do is snap it onto the chain, it's that simple.

...

The messengers of the gods used countless methods to communicate remotely.

This includes the countless black blades that tore through the air, the curses, the materialized malice, and the mind control.

But all mental attacks were ineffective against the Valrocan father and son, who had lived with the Fear Eater for far too long.

At this moment, the distance of less than ten meters became an insurmountable chasm for the messengers of the gods.

They tried to kill Kang and Finn in various ways.

Without anyone touching them, Kang and Finn's bodies were instantly covered in blood and gore.

But as I said before, completing the ceremony only requires one very simple action.

……

So no one could catch up in time.

Whether they are killers or rescuers.

The moment the metal buckle is pressed onto the chain.

The sand and dust on the ground began to churn, but strangely, there was no wind. Apart from the crisp sound of the metal buckle being installed, it was as if all sound had been completely removed from the scene.

The rolling sandstorm enveloped the entire area.

You can see the shadows of the messengers, led by Black Knife, struggling frantically.

However, shrouded in a curtain of sand and dust, they ultimately failed to utter a single roar or wail.

……

A silent sandstorm blocked Rebecca and the others' path.

Yan could no longer take another step forward.

What can be clearly felt is that the sandstorm has now been occupied by the will of a higher dimension. It is filled with death, the order of death, and is called "Kwache Utaus".

...

No one remembers how long that sandstorm lasted.

We only see what happens after the dust settles and recedes.

A string of footprints, as if a child had walked on, were left on the sand.

...

None of the other divine messengers who rushed into the storm were left behind, whether they were black-clad warriors, knights, or members of subordinate races.

Of course, just as stated in the will.

Only one summoner can remain.
