Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 91 Erii is the living master of light and shadow

Erii waited quietly for a while, but the notification "[Small goal completed]" did not appear in front of her.

"Freedom and rebirth," she murmured, "is because only one of them has been achieved."

Only now, led by Mo Cheng and others, did the Dust People erupt in thunderous cheers.

The upper class, however, were filled with worry, as if they were on a precarious boat, feeling uneasy about the future after the turmoil.

Morgan is dead, and the Three Laws seem to be obsolete. So what about the privileges that come with being an upper-class citizen?

Captain Mark's fate is still unknown, the city defense forces have suffered countless casualties, the Light and Shadow Society has directly wiped them out, and the Hunters are a bunch of muscle-bound fighting maniacs. Is the great Lighthouse really going to be handed over to a few outsiders?

drop!drop!drop!

The sudden alarm startled everyone.

Jing Nan's voice rang out through the loudspeaker: "A large number of Devouring Beasts have been detected gathering directly below the lighthouse. They are showing obvious signs of aggression. The lighthouse is increasing its altitude. People near the edge are advised to move away immediately."

Her voice trembled, not because of the menacing Devouring Beasts, but because of Morgan's death. Morgan was, after all, a respected city lord and elder, and seeing his head fall to the ground inevitably filled many with sorrow and grief.

"OMG!"

"So many Devouring Beasts!"

Some of the bolder ones immediately peered down, only to be startled and scream.

On the rocky mountain range a thousand meters below, countless "ants" were rushing and roaring, gathering into a dark, dense sea.

Despite being out of reach, they did not give up the chase, raising their heads and howling with boundless greed and longing, their voices filled with the frustration and anger of seeing something but not being able to have it.

They are mostly packs of snakes and dogs, as well as some other species with all sorts of names.

"Their emotional fluctuations were so intense that they attracted the attention of the Devouring Beasts. Luckily, they were in the sky, otherwise, with that many of them, these country bumpkins would have all turned into statues," Xu Tong snorted.

"Eri is really angry this time~ What kind of idiot is Charles? How dare he be her enemy?" Myodo muttered in confusion.

"Human greed, arrogance, and anger will devour reason and bring destruction, as has been the case throughout history," Bai Yuekui said calmly, but his eyes were filled with turmoil as he recalled the crazy era when human technology reached its peak before the cataclysm.

Immortality, eternal thought, extraordinary power, interstellar exploration, artificial intelligence—all these variables combined to amplify the outbreak of disaster, until a higher-dimensional civilization cast its gaze upon us, and humanity's brilliant civilization was reduced to fleeting fireworks.

Ultimately, isn't it just humanity's most primal desires at play?

"I wonder what will happen to the pot lid in the future. Oh well, it's none of our business!" Xia Dou dismissed these thoughts.

call!

Erii jumped onto a hanging shipping container and looked down.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the countless snakes and dogs.

If the main quest isn't completed, how can you expect to easily complete the side quests?

So she drew her Tsukuyomi and closed her eyes in contemplation.

Because the distance is too far, it is necessary to recite the dragon incantation to accumulate power and expand.

The crowd was stunned and nervously gathered at the edge to watch.

Swish!

The blade slashed downwards.

There was no wind, yet a sharp buzzing sound tore through the heavens and earth, as if thousands of vengeful ghosts were swooping down.

Buzz—

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, the earth and mountains seemed to be heavily cleaved by giant swords and axes, and a huge number of Devouring Beasts disappeared into the crisscrossing ravines.

The corpses dissolved into a vast black ocean, churning and merging into the soil and gravel.

The only sound atop the lighthouse was the deafening roar of the engines. After a long silence, everyone erupted in excited shouts.

Not only the common people, but even the upper class cheered with great joy.

The appearance of the Devouring Beasts made their fear of death overshadow their concerns about trivial matters.

Erii's incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring divine killings, showcasing absolute dominance, instantly dispelled their worries about life and death.

This single move stabilized the turbulent public sentiment and thoroughly won over the people with its overwhelming power, giving them a sense of security as solid as Mount Tai.

Everyone suddenly realized that Erii seemed to be more practical than Charles and Morgan. With her, it seemed that there was no need for the Light and Shadow Society as a spiritual pillar, nor for the unreasonable rules like the Three Laws.

Because Erii is the living master of light and shadow!

Compared to a false god fabricated by a despicable person, Erii is visible and tangible, and most importantly, she is beautiful and cute!

"Boss, am I seeing things?" Shandong asked blankly. "How can they wipe out the whole team from this far away?"

"That's terrifying. I'd believe it if you told me she was a king in human skin," Xu Tong whispered.

After thinking for a moment, Sui Xing asked, "Could we let her go into the Blood Vortex?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head decisively, "No, in the face of the Mana ecosystem, the power of an individual is insignificant, and pure slaughter is only a temporary solution—"

She fell silent, no longer speaking.

Ding Ding Ding ~

[Congratulations, host, on achieving your goal of eliminating 1000 snake dogs!]

[Random low-level Words of Power are being drawn]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Word of Power: Blood Ties (By establishing a bloodline connection through dragon blood within your body, you can accurately sense hybrids or dragons within a certain range)]

In short, the combination of X-ray vision and target locking makes it impossible for nearby individuals to avoid detection, inevitably exposing their own whereabouts.

It's a fairly practical support skill, and it's considered pretty good among low-level Word of Power.

Today, Erii is a complete team all by herself.

The Judgement Division is responsible for execution, the Dustless Land for defense, the Kamaitachi for eavesdropping and reconnaissance, and the Blood Ties for cheating.

Potential - Blood Burn deals magical damage and also heals and absorbs health.

The city's defense forces were taken over by Hilda and Orland, and under their orderly arrangements, chaos did not break out in the lighthouse for the time being.

Jingnan and Victor temporarily took over the duties of the city lord. The two of them, along with Erii, the hunters, and others, had a brief discussion. The original rules and discipline would remain unchanged. Even if changes were to be made, they could not be rushed.

Acting too hastily or using too strong a remedy may backfire.

There are more important things to do right now.

In fact, their feelings were incredibly complicated. They had thought Erii was planning to become the Empress of the Lighthouse and live a life of luxury, but she hadn't expected to dump such a mess on them and say, "I'm here to do three things: save Hilda, kill Charles, and take Zaibing and the others to live a good life. I'm not considering anything else."

As for slaughtering the city defense forces and the Light and Shadow Society, and beheading Morgan in public, those were all just incidental tasks.

"I didn't intend to kill them, but they insisted on coming forward, which put me in a very difficult position," Erii said, sounding extremely distressed and aggrieved.

Bai Yuekui and his group completely ignored the lighthouse, not even stepping into the city lord's hall. They were probably wandering around somewhere somewhere.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Dr. Carrie walked in with a stern expression.

"I heard the city lord has woken up, but where is he?" she asked, glancing around.

"Uh, that's the old version," Yuen, the supplies manager, said with a beaming smile, pointing to Erii. "This is our new leader at the Lighthouse!"

"The city lord is dead, and Charles is dead too," Jingnan briefly recounted.

To everyone's surprise, Dr. Carrie simply sighed with a complicated expression, then waved her hand dismissively, "Whatever, it doesn't matter who the city lord is, as long as it doesn't interfere with my experiments. By the way, come with me, Mark—it's a long story, you'll have to see for yourselves~"
