Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 72 We Are All Her Nutrition
When he opened the closet door, Ethan noticed that Isean's appearance had changed. Wrinkles appeared on her fair and smooth cheeks, and then fell off bit by bit like peeling wall paint. Her eyes were complicated, as if she wanted Ethan to leave immediately, but also hoped that he would go deeper.

Her figure did not last long before it turned into withered dust and disappeared into the darkness of the closet.

The closet was empty except for darkness itself.

Ethan closed his eyes again. Several hours had passed since he went deep into the contaminated area. Coupled with the high consumption of magic power, he had become a little tired. The effect of the wake-up drug was temporary. Once the threshold of the potion was exceeded, fatigue would overwhelm him like a flood.

He walked into the darkness of the closet, and almost at the same time, he smelled a strong stench of decay, followed by whispers of pain one after another, and the sound of crawling was very close, something was approaching him rapidly.

He was still in the grocery store in Riverside Town.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw six assemblers that were about to squeeze together. They were crawling on the ground and forming a circle in fear.

A hoarse and low voice sounded from the depths of darkness. The voice was mixed with fanaticism and asked impatiently, "Oh? Is there a guest? What kind of person is he? Does he have red hair and wear a knight's light armor?"

The assembler let out a series of low growls, and a hunched figure holding a gas lamp appeared in Ethan's sight in the darkness. His upper body was a tattered white shirt, and his chest covered with pus-filled sores was exposed to the air. His lower body was a gardener's apron covered with dirt and blood. He was as thin as a scarecrow, and his hair had fallen out. It seemed that due to being in the dark for a long time, his eyes seemed to have degenerated, leaving only the whites of his eyes.

There were two healed scars on his left cheek, like a cracked mouth, which was the mark of the followers of the evil god Bazatos.

He raised the gas lamp towards Ethan, holding a blood-stained shovel in his other hand. The two were less than three meters apart, but he still couldn't see his face clearly. After a long while, he finally said, "No, you are not her. Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I'm Lao Sen."

"Old Sen?"

The unfamiliar name puzzled the man, and he seemed to be trying hard to recall the name, "Which old Sen?"

Ethan felt that the man must have stayed in the contaminated area for too long, and his physical functions and memory had deteriorated. In order to help him remember himself better, he decided to help the man.

The golden flames swept across the Assembler and penetrated the man's chest. Under the shining light, the wounds on his body began to spread rapidly.

Ethan reminded, "Old Sen who can cast fireballs."

The man's scream made the assemblers restless. They wandered around anxiously, but did not dare to move forward because of the burning golden flames.

The man hit by the fireball rolled and crawled, and Ethan followed him. When he took a step forward, the assembler immediately made way for him.

"Ha, just go ahead and kill me and let me become her nutrition! It can't be wasted, absolutely not wasted!"

The man crawled forward while speaking confidently.

He missed a step and rolled all the way from the broken steps to the edge of the soil, where a half-meter-high white flower grew. The soil under the flower looked like it had just been renovated, and buried a human face distorted by pain. The man hugged the flower stalk, completely ignoring the pain in his body, and buried his face in the pistil in ecstasy, as if he was treating a rare treasure.

The barbs on the roots pierced his skin, and in almost the blink of an eye, the man's body shriveled up. The roots dragged the remaining human skin into the soil. With the help of the gas lamp that fell on the ground, Ethan saw the face on the pistil. It was the face of the man that had been sucked dry, and he still had an intoxicated expression until it completely disappeared and the pistil gradually returned to its original state.

There are many such white flowers, and they can be seen almost everywhere on the streets.

The outline of Riverside Town is almost unrecognizable. The streets have turned into a flower field. However, this flower field does not make people feel peaceful. Under the half-meter-high white flowers, it is crowded with moving figures. They are crowded together, wailing and groaning.

The whole town is here. Some of them become assemblers, while others are scattered all over the place, waiting to be assembled.

There were many people in the flower fields wearing tattered gardener uniforms, all of them hunched over. Both men and women had no hair, only bald heads. They were waving shovels and working hard. The stumps were buried in the soil, and soon new assemblers would break out of the ground.

The original houses in the town have turned into strange trees, arranged in a disorderly manner that violates the laws of physics.

The gardeners discovered Ethan, saw what he had just done, and angrily raised their shovels and rushed towards him from all directions.

Ethan bent down to pick up the gas lamp and brushed off the dirt. The white flowers caught his attention. When his hand was about to get close to the dirt, the sharp roots moved away from him. It was not out of fear. When his eyes moved to the flowers, the stamens seemed to be looking at him.

It was difficult for him to describe this strange feeling in words. Even though the human face on the flower had disappeared long ago, he still had this strange feeling.

The white flowers responded.

The blooming pistil trembled a few times, and it emitted a faint fluorescent light, which disappeared without a trace before touching Ethan.

"Don't destroy our flower fields!"

The Gardeners were getting closer and closer, and under their drive and coercion, the Assemblers finally crossed the limit of fear and rushed over with roars.

This was one of the traps tailor-made for the Knight Commander by the evil god's followers. When she went deep into the second level, the souls of the entire Riverside Town would become her enemies. The assemblers from all directions would be enough to overwhelm her in an instant. Even if she could fight her way out, it would inevitably consume a lot of her physical strength.

There is also this strange white flower whose roots are everywhere. Once your skin is accidentally pierced by it, you will be sucked dry like the gardener just now.

The gardeners shouted one after another, "Become her nutrients!"

"It's too late."

Ethan picked up the gas lamp, his eyes passed over the flower field, and looked up at the sky that was completely swallowed by darkness.

It was a moonless night, and there was destined to be no light in the sky.

But the next moment, the gardeners and assemblers who were rushing towards him stopped at the same time and looked up at the sky at the same time.

At first, only a faint light broke through the darkness, but it became more and more prominent as it fell.

Something was approaching them quickly.

They looked up at the sky until their pupils were completely filled with golden light.

It was a golden fireball, much larger than the entire town.

The sky was dyed the color of a fireball.

Then, the whole sky collapsed.
