"Damn! What an ominous thing they gave me!" Lu Ming muttered under his breath as he took out the Pope's right eye and looked at the gem that seemed to be looking back at him, like a black eye. He felt a little uneasy.

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

Four days after Yusahar was announced as the new lord, many citizens of Paris City left the city because they could no longer bear the terrifying appearance of the Dark Cursed Ones patrolling the streets and the frequent disappearances of people.

Whether they were hunted down and killed by the Dark Curse after they left is unknown.

Walking along the road, Lu Ming frowned as he looked at the Dark Curse One hidden in the shadows, his dissatisfaction with Yusahar growing stronger.

In just four days, Yusahar had turned Paris into a paradise for Eldridge's lackeys. Every day, Lu Ming and his colleagues would find numerous corpses of people tortured to death in some deserted corner. Several colleagues were hanged for reporting this to Yusahar, simply for speaking ill of the Dark Curse.

Lu Ming didn't understand. What was wrong with Yusaha? She wasn't like this before. Perhaps she was always this tyrannical, just hiding it from him...

In today's commercial districts, there are hardly any shops left. The food of the nobility has gradually changed from various meats and fish to all kinds of bread and vegetables. Perhaps soon, the bread will also change from white bread to dark and hard black bread.

Only someone like Lu Ming, who is completely unafraid of the Dark Curse, can go out of the city to hunt some demon rabbits and bring them back for his family to enjoy.

In such a situation, the plight of ordinary citizens is even more dire!

Perhaps the Dark Cursed Ones also enjoy filthy and chaotic environments. These hideous creatures love to lurk in the slums, eyeing the children of the common people and plotting how to torment them. If Lu Ming, Likat, and two other swordsmen hadn't been in the city, these monstrous things would likely have been even more unrestrained.

Carrying several rabbits he had just hunted, Lu Ming arrived at the church, intending to visit You'er Sika, the only friend still alive in the city.

Whether it was good luck or not, after leaving the conference room that day, Fren left Paris City disheartened with his fiancée's family and his bodyguard Dex's family, and was not persecuted by Yusaha.

"Hey, Yul Sica. What's wrong?" Lu Ming had just entered the church when he saw Yul Sica sitting beside the dying campfire. Noticing her strange expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look so pale?"

When Yu'er Sica saw Lu Ming come to see her, she immediately threw herself into his arms, crying loudly, and said, "The Countess wants the High Priests to give the church to a group of cultists who came from who-knows-where. Because we refused, many priests have already been secretly killed by those monsters..."

Lu Ming fell silent after hearing You'er Xika's words.

The church's deity is the native god of light of Puru, with two secondary gods of healing and justice. The church pastors, possessing absolute justice and compassion, would naturally never allow their church to be given away to cultists.

If it weren't for the fact that we are now in a stronger position, those so-called cultists would have been driven out of Paris City long ago!

Unfortunately, the current lord, Yusahar, is the backer of those cultists, with a large group of Deep Ones as his lackeys. The Church's current resistance may ultimately not change anything. Just as the Church of the Deep was originally a church of the White Church, but later became a lair of darkness and evil.

Out of concern for You'er Sika's personal safety, Lu Ming eventually took You'er Sika back to his home.

On his way home, Lu Ming saw the cultists that You'er Sika had mentioned. At that moment, they were going from house to house preaching the doctrines of the Deep, saying that as long as one joined them, the Deep Cursed would obediently stay away from them.

Lu Ming scoffed at this.

He knew all too well what the Church of the Deep was. Aside from Aldrich's priests and bishops, the followers were basically just food for Aldrich. In other words, I was eaten, by my glorious, bizarre church.

Pulling along Yorshka, who was dressed in the white robes of the Church of Light, Lu Ming quickly walked past the group of people. Because Lu Ming was a member of the Undead Legion, they dared not lay a hand on Yorshka. Otherwise, if they saw someone on the street who didn't follow the Church of Light, the Church of Light of the Deep Saint Eldridge, they would surely start torturing her!

Watching Lu Ming of the Undead Legion leave quickly with Yorshka in her white robes, Medivh, a priest of the Deep who was preparing food for Aldrich, the Deep Saint who would be summoned in a few days, gave a cold smile.

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

At night, Medivh and a group of priests who believed in the deepest horrors and madness arrived at Yusahar Sachs's current residence, the Lord's Mansion in Niflheim.

At this moment, all the servants in the lord's manor were fed the Deep Curse by Yusahar, and the Deep Curse, which obeyed her, replaced the servants who were loyal to Luyanali.

Walking down the empty corridor, listening to the screams of those who opposed Yusahar's **** being devoured piece by piece by the Dark Curse, Medivh and the others were extremely happy.

Those screams were so melodious, so soothing, so beautiful. They were like poems praising these people, bringing them immense joy.

“My lord, I am your loyal Medivh Arms. I have come to offer my advice and seek your approval.”

Standing outside Yusahar's room, Medivh bowed respectfully, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"Come in." As soon as Yusaha finished speaking, the door was opened by two Dark Cursed Ones.

Upon seeing this, Medivh and one or two pastors immediately lowered their heads and quickly walked into the room.

It must be said that the room was extremely dark at the moment, so dark that even the three guys who enjoyed torture, terror, and death were somewhat terrified.

"What brings you here?" Suddenly, two eyes flashing with scarlet light appeared in the darkness, and Yusaha's voice came from all directions.

Suppressing his fear, Medivh mustered his courage and said to Yusahar, who was already corrupted by the Darkness, "My lord, the priests of the Church of Light still refuse to hand over the church to us in order to summon Lord Aldrich. What do you think, should we wipe them out?"

"Wait two more days. It's not the right time yet. If we rush to summon Lord Aldridge, we might anger the God of Light. If he punishes us with divine power, he might kill the Lord Aldridge we just summoned. That would be a huge loss."

“But my lord, I do not believe that Lord Aldridge is weaker than the God of Light. The Dark Saint, who even devoured Gwyn's son, the Shadow Sun Gwyndolin, would lose to a mere God of Light? We simply do not believe it.”

Are you questioning me, Medivh Arms?

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare! It's just that today, while we were searching for food for Lord Aldridge, I saw your former fiancé, Lu Ming."

"What's up with him?"

"He brought a white magic apprentice from the Church of Light back to his home. This is a sign of an alliance between the Undead Legion and the Church of Light!"

Upon hearing this, Yusahar was furious. She immediately used Aldrich's ring to telepathically summon over a dozen Dark Cursed Beings to rush towards Lu Ming's house, intending to torture and kill You'er Sika there. However, she quickly discovered that all of the Dark Cursed Beings were dead!

Moreover, not only did these dozen or so Dark Cursed Ones die, but the Dark Cursed Ones in Paris City were also dying rapidly!

"What happened? Why did it turn out like this?"

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

We're about to prepare to attack Yusaha, and everyone will finally see this woman die a horrible death at Lu Ming's hands.

Chapter 44 - Deep Darkness and Cold Moon (Seeking recommendations.)

Under the bright moon in the sky, Lu Ming, dressed in a set of Conqueror's armor, stood on the roof of his house, drawing his bow fully. He used the forty Moonlight Arrows he had obtained through several daily quests after failing a mission to shoot down the Dark Curse Ones who dared to approach his mansion.

On the ground, most of the trees in the city of Paris were blessed by the god of nature and grew into things that looked like man-eating flowers. They began to use seed machines to swarm any Dark Cursed or Dark Priest who dared to approach them.

Caught off guard, the vast majority of the Dark Cursed Ones in the city were killed in just the first round of gunfire!

However, these henchmen of Eldridge were not to be trifled with. They retaliated with Dark Pulse, blasting many trees to pieces.

"Damn God of Nature! When Lord Aldrich arrives, He will tear you to pieces!" Medivh, who had been sent by Yusahar to investigate the cause of the mass deaths of the Deep Cursed, couldn't help but curse as he watched as large numbers of Deep Cursed and Deep Priests were shot down by the trees with seeders.

Knowing this couldn't go on, he immediately shouted to the other Priests of the Deep, who were hiding behind cover, "What are you doing? Quickly, use fire magic to counterattack!"

Upon hearing his shout, the deep priests immediately took out a large number of pine cones from their pockets, lit them with magic, and then threw them at the trees!

Fist-sized fireballs were unleashed by the Priest of the Deep, in the manner of a mage in this world, igniting and burning those who had been blessed.

The silent screams of the Wood Spirits burning to death brought a slight sense of relief to the somber priests. But they never expected that as soon as they finished off the blessed trees, man-eating plants would sprout from the flowers and grass behind them, once again driving them into a panic.

"Evil Wave!" Suddenly, a black energy wave shot from afar, blasting the flowers and plants into fragments.

A woman in a long robe, hidden behind a mask, strode forward. She dragged a straight sword, glowing red-hot from the flames, leaving a trail of red as she passed.

"My lord!" Upon seeing the woman, Medivh Arms hurriedly ran over and bowed respectfully.

It was clear that this woman was the new lord of Niflheim, Yusahar Sach. Only, she was different now than before.

Now, she wore a long, jet-black robe and a mask almost identical to Luianali's. Her exposed skin, the only part of her body exposed, seemed to have been corroded; it was no longer delicate and fair, but instead had a greenish tinge, like that of a wandering spirit. Furthermore, her eyes, no longer the clear blue they once were, were now a fierce, blood-red, and glowed red in the darkness!

"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash! You can't even beat some flowers and grass, what use are you?" Yusaha's cold gaze swept over the dark priests one by one, and he snorted coldly.

Every priest who was swept by Yusaha’s icy gaze felt an unimaginable fear.

However, to their slight relief, the appearance of several tree spirits who could walk upright like humans drew Yusahar's attention, forcing her to use her Fire Hyde Straight Sword to fight them.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was forced to draw his Irithyll Straight Sword and fight several reckless Deep Cursed Ones who rushed to the rooftop to engage him in close combat.

Fortunately, with the help of the swordsman Sham and his daughter Kanina's Lucario, he was not so flustered that he would be injured by these Dark Cursed Ones.

"Evil Wave!" Lu Ming and Sham roared in unison, unleashing two black chain-like energy waves from their palms, instantly blasting the two Dark Cursed Ones into dust.

"Ambush!" Under the cover of malice, Lu Ming dashed forward to a Dark Cursed One, and under its terrified gaze, plunged the Irithyll Straight Sword into its forehead, piercing its brain. Immediately afterward, a gust of snowflakes flew out, freezing its mouth and trapping the cursed mist, ultimately turning the unfortunate Dark Cursed One's body into a stone statue.

"Deep Blue Strike!" Billicart's even more powerful sword energy slashed and tore the body of the Dark Cursed One to shreds, even blowing away the Cursed Clouds and cursing the Dark Cursed One behind it to death.

"Damn it! What's wrong with those guys? They're all dead, yet they keep attacking!" After another wave of evil energy killed a Dark Curse, Lu Ming downed a bottle of Elemental Ash and angrily shouted.

"The trees in the city have been blessed by the God of Nature and gone to kill the Dark Cursed Ones." After slashing a deep blue sword aura and tearing apart a Dark Cursed One that had just climbed to the rooftop, Sham breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"What does that have to do with us?" Lu Ming glanced back at Sham and asked, puzzled.

"You're the only one in the city who has connections with the tree spirit. You yourself said that if Yusahar doesn't cause trouble for you, who will he cause trouble for?"

"..." Lu Ming was speechless after Sham's words, and could only vent his anger on those ignorant Dark Curseers.

After fighting for over an hour, the Dark Cursed Ones retreated without hesitation. However, Lu Ming alone had killed more than twenty Dark Cursed Ones. Although each Dark Cursed One only yielded 250 experience points after level 10, it still amounted to a full 5,000 experience points. Lu Ming was only 6,000 experience points away from becoming a true mage!

Watching the retreating Dark Curseers, Lu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief and led Sham and Lucario back into the house through the window of the building.

As he closed the window, Lu Ming glanced at the lord's mansion under the moonlight in the distance, his disappointment with Yusaha beyond words.

"What's wrong?" Sham asked, noticing the strange expression on Lu Ming's face.

"It's nothing. Tomorrow, we'll begin our operation to overthrow Yusahar's rule. Let's go get some rest. Too many of those Dark Cursed Ones died today; they won't be coming back." Lu Ming shook his head, then pulled Sham into his arms and walked step by step towards his room, preparing to get a good rest and get ready to join the others who were dissatisfied with Yusahar in overthrowing his rule tomorrow.

It wasn't that his heart was made of iron, but Yusaha had truly gone too far. He had no choice but to make Lu Ming do this! After all, he couldn't guarantee that he and Sham could protect Lily and the others as they left Paris City, lest they end up being surrounded and killed by the Dark Cursed Ones in the wilderness without even any cover.

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

The Hyde Straight Sword, glowing red-hot like a branding iron, plunged into the body of the last treant, setting it ablaze and burning it.

Her body was riddled with bullet holes from the seed machine, but protected by the Dark Abyss, as an immortal, she could no longer feel pain, just like her sense of taste and smell, which she had lost two days ago.

"Go to Tutankhamun's prison and bring me back a wandering spirit!" She dipped her gloved fingers in the black mud flowing from her wound, knowing from her memory that the situation was dire, and ordered Medivh beside her.

"Yes, my lord!" Medivh saw Yusahar's red, menacing eyes looking at him and, upon hearing the order, immediately led his men quickly toward Tutankhamun's prison.

About an hour later, Medivh returned with a ghost that looked very familiar to Yusahar, but whose ghost he couldn't quite place.

Following Lu Ming's method, Yusaha used the Hyde Straight Sword to pin the wandering soul to the ground, slowly driving the sword deeper and deeper, igniting the struggling soul on the ground and turning it into a one-time campfire.

The wandering spirit, whose soul and humanity had vanished, was instantly burned to ashes by the flames, which also forced out the seeds from the bullet holes in Yusaha's body, and then healed those bullet holes.

"Sister..." Just as Yusaha was about to return to the lord's manor, a faint call suddenly made Yusaha stop in his tracks.

She turned around in disbelief, looking at the ashes that had been swept away by the wind, a hint of resentment and self-mockery flashing in her eyes.

The ghost was her sister, Miral Sachs, who was turned into a ghost by her and was eventually burned to ashes.

Yusahar walked step by step toward Medivh, and to his horrified gaze, pressed the blazing Hyde Straight Sword against his face. Instantly, the extremely hot Hyde Straight Sword burned Medivh's handsome face like a branding iron, causing him to scream in agony.

"Your unilateral decision will come at a price!" Yusahar sneered as he tore off Medivh's face along with the straight sword of Fire Hyde, and with a light swing, severed one of Medivh's arms!

"And this is only a small part of the price!" Watching Medivh writhe on the ground, clutching his charred arm, Yusahar laughed and left. The few remaining Dark Cursed Ones of Paris followed her into the massive lord's mansion.

After a long while, Medivh struggled out of the excruciating pain. He stood up with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked towards the lord's manor.

"Medivh, you did a good job!" Just then, a fat, blue-robed Archbishop of the Deep suddenly appeared behind Medivh. After saying a few words, he poured a bottle of black mud on Medivh, turning him into a white Deep Cursed being, completely different from other Deep Cursed.

The chubby hand stroked Medivh's head. Archbishop Deep looked at the lord's mansion where Yusahar was, pondering when he could summon Eldridge here so that he could escape the fate of linking the fire.

"Since the Undead Legion's Lords of Cinder can come here, then Lord Aldrich can too. It's just that those native gods are difficult to deal with. If Lady Rosalia were here too, her fingers would surely be hunting gods on a rampage, wouldn't they? However, the native gods here are far stronger than ours. If the God of Magic hadn't gone too far and provoked Yusahar, we'd probably still be in the forest..."
