"Welcome to the Church of the Deep, my child. Under our protection, you will have nothing to fear. I've also placed a ring in your inventory; with it, you can command the Deep's cursed ones in the forest. The rest is up to you."

From: Eldridge.

"Welcome to the team, my fellow countryman. I am your friend McDonald. I will be your mentor from now on, guiding you to become one of us. Oh, by the way, I've enchanted your Hyde Straight Sword with flames. Also, I've placed a gift in your inventory; please accept it as a token of my appreciation."

From: Archbishop McDonald.

After reading these two messages, Yusaha immediately opened the inventory and saw the ring and McDonald's gift.

"Eldridge's Ring: A ring that grants the power to command those cursed in the Deep."

You are the first person besides the two archbishops of Eldridge to receive this precious ring.

"Deep Spirit Stone - Blue: A ring used to invade other players' dungeons."

When someone else enters a dungeon, the ring will automatically allow its owner to invade that person's dungeon. The intruder is in a spirit form, and death has no consequences. Furthermore, this ring can bring four Deep Cursed beings into the dungeon and can be used an unlimited number of times.

After seeing the effects of the two rings, Yusaha immediately put them on his hands.

Finally, after thinking for a moment, she opened the new app, the store.

The result was a massive amount of skill books and weapons! Although the currency for these items was "souls" from the attribute panel, based on the little information Lu Ming had revealed in the past, Yusaha knew that these "souls" didn't refer to his own soul, but rather the souls the Undead stole when they killed other living beings!

Since he now had 15 souls, Yusahar didn't hesitate to buy the skill books [Evil Pulse] and [Shadow Fist], which were previously used by Soul Drainers and were worth 2.5 souls. He also bought the [Flame Jet] skill book, which cost 7 souls!

Using the skill book, under the successive erosion of black mud, resentment, and flames, Yusahar learned how to use these three spells. After dressing, he took out the Hyde Straight Sword, which had been imbued with flames and was now red-hot, from his inventory, went out the door, and walked step by step toward the city gate.

-----------------------------------

The next morning, news of Countess Luianali's assassination spread throughout the city of Paris. As a member of the police station, Lu Ming and three other colleagues were assigned by the acting lord, Hax Sachs, to track down the Countess's killer.

Because Lu Ming was a member of the nobility, the important task of investigating the Countess's death naturally fell to him. However, he was not alone. Viscount Saldallo, the son of the Grand Duke of Hades, and Lu Ming's superior would accompany him to investigate the Countess's death.

Just seeing Lu Ming, who was only a meter or two away from the corpse, gesture for them to lift the white sheet covering the body, made the two men's faces darken. Then, Lu Ming's official authority was displayed, forcing him to do it himself.

As soon as the white sheet covering the body was lifted, a mummy as hard as stone came into view.

"This...this...isn't this the effect of the poisonous gas spewed by the monsters in the forest?" Viscount Saldal exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the Countess, who had turned into a mummy almost like a stone.

"The Cursed One of the Deep? This is troublesome." Lu Ming took a few steps back, carefully examined the Countess's corpse, and sighed softly.

"The Deep One?" Hearing Lu Ming mutter to himself as he pondered, Lu Ming's superior turned to look at Lu Ming and Viscount Saldallo, who clearly knew something about it.

"The Deep Ones are the lackeys of Lord Eldridge of Cinder in the Cathedral of the Deep. They are hybrids of werewolves and spiders, and like that man-eating Lord Eldridge, they revel in bathing in the screams and blood of the innocent. Furthermore, their most terrifying ability is to spew out a cloud of curses that can kill. No matter how strong they are, and regardless of whether they are dead when the cloud is spewed out, anyone standing in the cloud will be transformed into what our Lord looks like now!"

"That... what is the Lord of Cinder?"

Lu Ming glanced at his superior, shook his head, and said, "It's just a way of putting it on our end. There's no need to take it to heart."

Despite what Lu Ming said, his superior still really wanted to know the meaning of the title "King of Cinder." However, since Lu Ming didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press the matter.

Meanwhile, Viscount Saldallo, who was standing nearby, worried that what Lu Ming called the Deep Curse-Bender might pose a danger to Erebus, couldn't help but ask, "How can we completely eliminate this terrifying monster?"

"I don't know. But if there's only one in the city, Licard and I should be able to take it down."

"Does that mean it's unlikely that those in the forest outside the city can be wiped out?"

"Pretty much. But if we set fire to that grove of trees, it should be okay, right?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine - Pursuit of the Deep Abyss

Under the scorching afternoon sun, Lu Ming led a hundred men, hunting down the Dark Curse Masters throughout the city of Paris.

A creature as enormous and terrifying as the Dark Curse One couldn't possibly remain hidden in the city forever. Around noon, Lu Ming's superiors received several reports of sightings of the monstrous creature. Therefore, Lu Ming and his colleagues from the city defense team and the detective department split into three groups to search for the Dark Curse One throughout Paris City. Finally, they found it at a baron's mansion in the noble district.

The baron's family was naturally torn to pieces.

Holding a bow and arrow, Lu Ming nocked the arrow and relentlessly pursued the Dark Curse.

"Whoosh!" The golden arrow was fired by Lu Ming, who had drawn his bow to its fullest extent. With a loud bang, the arrow pierced through the monster's body.

As the monster fell, Lu Ming fired a second golden arrow, pinning it to the ground, and then drew a third golden arrow from his quiver.

However, at that moment, an energy wave like a black chain shot out from the roof of the residential building on the right, striking the soldiers behind Lu Ming and causing many deaths and injuries.

The sudden attack prompted Lu Ming to fire his golden arrow at the cursed figure atop the residential building without hesitation.

Unfortunately, due to Lu Ming's insufficient archery skills, the golden arrow failed to hit the Dark Cursed One. However, the missed Moonlight Arrow did not mean that Lu Ming had no other means of attack.

"Seed Machine Gun!" With a slight opening of his mouth, a barrage of seeds shot towards the Dark Cursed One like bullets, riddling him with holes as he secretly rejoiced at having just dodged the Moonlight Arrow's attack. He plummeted from the rooftop of the residential building, crashing heavily to the ground, creating a large crater and stirring up a massive cloud of cursed death mist.

To ensure the Dark Curse One that had fallen to the ground was still alive, Lu Ming fired three Moonlight Arrows into the cloud before confirming its death. He then killed the previous one with a single arrow!

"Monster!!" "Help!!" "A monster is eating people!"

The screams and cries of terror from the civilians and merchants made Lu Ming, who had just shot down two Dark Curse Warriors, look rather grim!

"Go!" With that order, Lu Ming led his fearless soldiers toward the source of the screams.

Meanwhile, in the vast city of Paris, similar events were unfolding in several other locations. Swordsman Ricard and the old mage McCot were helping the detectives hunt down the Dark Cursed in the east of the city, while Furen and Dex were assisting the city's defense team in the west. As for the other locations, a volley of Moonlight Arrows from archers was usually enough. However, compared to the other three locations, it was far too expensive.

From finding the trail of the Dark Curse One at noon, to the afternoon pursuit, and finally the chase continuing until evening...

"Ha~ha~ha~" Lu Ming, who had reached level 9 by hunting down the Dark Cursed Ones, stood in a spot in the street where there were no corpses, holding his broken hard bow, panting heavily amidst the heavy smell of blood.

Gazing at the lifeless, cursed being before him, Lu Ming glanced at his decimated subordinates and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Having never seen a dead body before his transmigration, he'd had his fill of it this afternoon. However, he figured he wouldn't be afraid anymore. After all, compared to this scene, how terrifying could other sights possibly be?

Dragging his weary body, Lu Ming casually tossed his completely broken bow aside and walked step by step to the church in the city. He collapsed next to the campfire, letting the fire he had made heal his body and drive away his exhaustion.

Compared to before, the makeshift campfire burning the remains of the undead is far less powerful. Although it will be a few days before it goes out, it's not far off.

Shortly after Lu Ming arrived at the church and sat by the campfire, Dex, Licarte, and others also arrived one after another.

Because of Lu Ming's breakup with Yusaha, Dex, Lu Ming's first friend after his transmigration, completely ignored him. Clearly, this is how the world is: commoners instinctively respect the nobles and obey their every command; anyone who disrespects or harms a noble will be ostracized by the commoners.

Although Lu Ming earned his baronial title himself, in the eyes of a commoner like Dex, without Yusaha's connections, Lu Ming would have been hanged long ago! He would have had no right to break up with Yusaha. Therefore, Dex voluntarily severed ties with Lu Ming.

This has resulted in Lu Ming having almost no friends besides You'er and Xika.

He was a baron, and his commoner colleagues in the sheriff's office wouldn't befriend him, let alone people like Rafam and McCott.

To avoid embarrassment, Lu Ming immediately got up and left after Dex and the others arrived at the church. He brushed past them without exchanging a single word.

Looking at the setting sun and the rising crescent moon, Lu Ming took the hard bow that his men had retrieved again and ran once more toward the source of the screams.

"Just how many of these damned Deep Cursed Ones are there in the city?"

-----------------------------------

Standing in his mansion, Yusahar looked out the window at the soldiers rushing around, weapons in hand, rescuing people, and a smile appeared on his face.

Thanks to the rampage of the Dark Curseers in the city, she has reached level 12 and successfully advanced to become a mage, and has also gained 10 soul points!

The (deep) value, which I don't know what it is, has also reached 20%.

Suddenly, Yusaha, who was standing by the window and about to burst into laughter, saw Lu Ming hurrying past with a hard bow in her hand. Although he didn't see her, Lu Ming's worried glance as she ran past made Yusaha's heart tremble slightly.

But she quickly extinguished those feelings.

"Lu Ming of Cold Valley, you will surely die by my hand! As the price for abandoning me!" She hated him as much as possible, regardless of whether he still had a place for her in his heart.

Looking at his stats on his phone screen, Lu Ming, who had just reached level 10, felt no joy whatsoever.

The soldiers in the city defense team he had brought with him were either dead or wounded, rendering them incapable of fighting. His Elemental Bottle and Elemental Ash Bottle were also almost empty.

But now, in front of him, there was an intact Dark Curse, staring at him menacingly.

Of the nearly two hundred Moonlight Arrows, less than fifty remain now.

Slowly, he drew Irithyll's Straight Sword and took out Pihem's Staff from his inventory.

Lu Ming looked at the Dark Curse Master in front of him and rushed forward in one stride.

Since there were no soldiers to restrain the Deep One, and Lu Ming was relying entirely on the phantom of Gwyndolin for his archery, he didn't believe his exceptional archery skills were enough to kill the Deep One one-on-one. Therefore, his sharp longsword and soul magic capable of easily slicing through the Deep One's body were his only options.

"Ambush!" Lu Ming shouted, and a large amount of darkness surged from the cold, icy Irithyll straight sword.

Just as he was about to collide with the Dark Curse, Lu Ming swung his cold, dark-shrouded sword at the Dark Curse.

The jet-black sword, in the dim light, resembled a rapidly moving shadow, without any discernible form.

But the cold wind it stirred up made the one who cursed the deepest place feel a little uneasy.

Without hesitation, it swung its sharp claws and reached for the longsword shrouded in darkness.

It tried to grab and break Lu Ming's straight sword, but its claws grasped at nothing as if they were on a shadow, and Lu Ming slashed it across the face with his sword.
