Chapter 45 - The Wrong Choice (Seeking Recommendations)
Because of the Treant and the forgotten order to cancel the attack on Lu Ming's mansion, Yusahar now has less than forty Dark Cursed Ones left.
However, due to the rebellion of those tree spirits, Yusahar's level has risen to level 20, and he has used skill upgrade books costing 60,000 souls each to raise the Flame Emission skill to a terrifying level of four.
The (Profound) value, of which she had no idea what it was, had reached 80%. However, this also meant that most of her body had become a wandering spirit. But for now, she still retained a sliver of humanity and hadn't completely become a wandering spirit.
Looking at the sun slowly rising outside the window, Yusaha squinted his eyes in disgust and quickly drew the thick curtains shut, not letting in a single ray of sunlight.
"Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!" The phone suddenly rang. When Yusaha picked it up, he saw a message on it.
"I have arrived in Paris. You must now begin preparing the location for summoning Lord Eldridge as quickly as possible. Once I have gathered all the necessary items for the summoning ritual, I will begin the ceremony."
From: Archbishop McDonald.
"What a nuisance! Does Lu Ming also receive messages from this kind of guy?" On the fifth day after becoming a lord, Yusaha was even more severely corrupted by the Darkness, and even her voice had become indistinguishable from that of a monster.
Unfortunately, because of McDonald's message, Yusaha had no choice but to wear heavy clothes on the hot and humid early summer days to avoid being scorched by the annoying sun.
Followed by more than thirty Dark Cursed Ones, Yusahar left the lord's manor and headed straight for the Church of Light, intending to make a final negotiation with the High Priest. If the High Priest still refused to hand over the church this time, these thirty-odd Dark Cursed Ones would show him the power of the Cursed Clouds.
"Yusaha!" Just as Yusaha was about to get into the carriage, a voice suddenly called out to her.
Turning her head, she saw a woman with her red hair tied up, standing not far away watching her.
She was Yusaha's childhood best friend. Although she rarely saw Yusaha after getting married at the age of twenty, the two still had a very good relationship.
Unfortunately, she didn't come to catch up with Yusahar.
"Yusahar, do you know where my son is? My friend said she saw your guards take him to the lord's manor. Are you trying to see if he's suitable for your magic academy?"
She was terrified, so she had no choice but to speak in a way that pleased Yusaha. Unfortunately, Yusaha had completely forgotten about the magic academy.
Yusaha glanced at his childhood friend, then at a Dark Curse user beside him, and said in a high-pitched voice, trying to make it sound as normal as possible, "Take her to the classroom and pick up her son."
After saying that, he got into the carriage.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The childhood friend mistakenly thought things were really that simple and couldn't help but thank Yusahar and the Dark Curse Master who were about to take her life.
Sitting in the carriage, Yusaha's face, already distorted beneath his mask, revealed a sinister smile, and he couldn't help but let out a terrifying laugh.
After Yusahar's carriage left, her childhood friend was lured to a dark room in the lord's manor by a Dark Curse Master and tortured to death. However, she did see her son, but only his remaining half-head.
-----------------------------------
The lord's carriage stopped outside the church. After Yusahar alighted, he walked into the church step by step under the protection of the Dark Curse.
What first caught Yusaha's eye was not the statues in the church, but Lu Ming's former weapon, the Sage's Candlestick.
The makeshift campfire had gone out, and the Sage's Candlestick had been placed on the altar of the gods by the priests, just as the campfire represented hope, a prayer for divine protection.
"Hehe!" Step by step, in front of the statue, Yusaha picked up the Sage's Candlestick, glanced at it briefly, and then put it down.
"High Priest, this is nothing but a weapon. Do you need to place it in front of the idol?"
High Priest Ugolet approached warily and said coldly, "What we, the Church of Light, do is none of your business, you heretics!"
"Heh! Fine, I don't want to waste any more words with an old stubborn like you." Yusaha walked to a bench in the hall, slowly sat down, and looked at High Priest Ugolet with his glowing red eyes, asking in a sinister tone, "I'll give you one last chance. If you still refuse to hand over the church, I won't force you. Anyway, I'll just kill you all, and the result will be the same!"
"How dare you!!" The high priest roared, startling all the cursed ones into taking a step back.
“…” Yusahar’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at the timid Dark Curseers.
"Are you going to refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences?"
“Yusahar Sachi! Don’t forget you’re from Mirakesa, not from the place where the Church of the Deep resides! Those heretics will one day be wiped out by the people of Mirakesa! At that time, you…”
"Shut up, old man!" Yusahar interrupted the high priest with an exceptionally terrifying voice, coldly saying, "Even Baron Lu Ming's hometown, the Boreal Valley, is now our territory of the Church of the Deep. Their god has been devoured by our god! Do you still think that this little Miracaisar can wipe out the Church of the Deep?!"
"Hahahaha!!" The high priest laughed. He looked at Yusaha as if he were looking at the most ridiculous thing. This was unbearable for Yusaha.
"Attack!" Yusahar, unable to bear it any longer, gave the order to the Dark Cursed Ones, who instantly rushed towards the clergy's quarters inside the church.
However, the High Priest wouldn't let them rush in so easily. With a mere wave of his hand, he unleashed two golden orbs of light, instantly killing two Dark Cursed Ones and delivering a resounding slap to Yusahar's face, leaving him stinging with pain.
Knowing he couldn't defeat the High Priest alone, Yusahar first had ten Dark Cursed Ones spew a large amount of Cursed Death Clouds at the High Priest, while he himself condensed black energy fluctuations in his hand and unleashed them the instant the High Priest dodged the Cursed Death Clouds!
"A wave of evil!"
A chain-like wave was unleashed by Yusaha, aimed directly at the High Priest's body, attempting to kill him with a single blow.
Unfortunately, her attack was not enough to hurt the high priest at all. She simply created a light barrier and blocked Yusaha's evil wave!
"Damn it! Old man! Try blocking it again! Evil Pulse!" Seeing his attack easily blocked by the High Priest, Yusaha was furious and unleashed Evil Pulse once more, forcibly controlling the Dark Curse Master in the church to also unleash Evil Pulse.
The combined attack of dozens of evil waves shattered it in an instant, and also severely injured the high priest.
But at that moment, a blinding flash of light suddenly erupted, driving away all darkness.
Yusahar's body, corrupted by the Darkness, was scorched by the light. The pain, originating from his soul, was excruciating. He subconsciously used the Darkness's cursed beings to shield himself from the light.
However, this only slightly alleviated the physical pain; the burning sensation in the soul was not lessened in the slightest.
In his pain, Yusaha's mind flashed back to the memory of being imprisoned in the dungeon by Luyanali, and then being released, where he immediately threw himself into Lu Ming's arms.
"I...have no regrets! Flames erupt!" Recalling that memory, Yusahar felt no regret whatsoever; instead, he felt an unimaginable rage for his own weakness. When the fire in his heart burns, everything is consumed.
Yusaha unleashed a nearly black, deep blue flame that pierced through the barrier forged by the Dark Curse, turning the holy light black and burning the high priest alive!
As the light faded, Yusaha collapsed to the ground, laughing as he looked at the lava that had melted from one of the church walls due to his own flames.
Tears dripped from beneath her mask. She struggled to her feet, leaning against the bench, and slowly rose to her feet, glancing at the six remaining members of the Dark Curse.
"kill!"
-----------------------------------
At this very moment, in Lu Ming's home, the ten strongest men in Paris City were preparing for their nighttime attack on Yusahar.
Although Ricard was furious when he learned that Sham had become Lu Ming's man and wanted to fight Lu Ming to the death, he was eventually persuaded by everyone to wait until after defeating Yusaha.
"I don't know why the High Priest is so determined not to leave the church. If he had come with us like the other priests, we wouldn't have had to face those monsters from Yusahar!" A second-tier archer in the city, playing with a Moonlight Arrow, complained about the High Priest's lack of cooperation when they went to rescue the Church of Light at dawn.
"He wanted to sacrifice his own life to ensure the destruction of Yusahar's Dark Curse! You shouldn't complain about such a great man!" Lu Ming frowned and said angrily.
"Do you think the High Priest can kill as many of those monsters as possible?"
"I don't know. But at the very least, it should reduce the number of those monsters to single digits!"
"Single digits? Given the size of the lord's manor, if there are only a few Dark Cursed Ones guarding it, we can easily force our way in and kill Yusahar before they discover us. The only concern is that she might be inside the church, engaging in some kind of evil ritual with those Dark Priests..." Lu Ming sat on the sofa, pondering how to assassinate Yusahar without being killed by the Dark Cursed Ones and Dark Priests.
At that moment, Viscount Saldal suddenly arrived and brought them news: "Gentlemen, I have brought you very bad news. Yusahar will be summoning the Deep Saint Eldritch tonight in the city's church!"
Upon hearing Eldridge's name, Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. However, whether it was the fighting spirit emanating from Irithyll in his hand or the Pope's right eye in his inventory, he was not afraid of Eldridge!
'Eldridge...am I going to be eaten? No! I'll eat him!'
-----------------------------------
After this chapter, there are only four left before the next volume. I just hope the next volume won't be as dark as this one.
Chapter 46 - McDonald (Please recommend, add to favorites, and follow)
"Sham, Kanina, Luca. The three of you, protect the house, understand?" Carrying a hard bow, carrying a quiver, and with the Irithyll straight sword at his waist, Lu Ming instructed Sham, Kanina, and Luca to guard the house before leaving. Then, he and the others walked out the exit towards the church.
At this moment, the sun is setting and the full moon is rising; it would be even better if there were a few snowflakes. But that would be too ominous.
"Everyone, we absolutely cannot let Eldridge be summoned to Miracaissa! Otherwise, we and our families will be living in misery!"
"Oh!!"
-----------------------------------
Just as Lu Ming and the others left and headed towards the church, a fat man wearing a blue robe and with an evil appearance arrived at the church with a white one that was out of place among the other Dark Cursed Ones.
"Who are you?" Upon seeing this fat man, Yusaha felt as if she had seen a demon, and her heart trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"I am one of the three archbishops of the Cathedral of the Deep, your guide, MacDonald." After a slight nod, the evil fat man revealed a sinister smile and introduced himself: "I will guide you onto the right path and make you a king under Lord Eldridge!"
"King?" The deep, corrosive influence gradually caused Yusaha to become a wandering spirit, and her memories began to fade away. Now, she only has less than half of her memories left.
"Yes! King of a nation! You are the king who rules over all people!" Just like his face, MacDonald was like a devil, bewitching Yusaha, who was gradually losing his senses.
"..." Yusaha sat silently on the bench, ignoring him, and pondered to herself what her missing memories were.
Seeing this, McDonald couldn't help but sigh and stop his pointless persuasion.
"Is it because it has no story, that it is being eroded to the point of becoming a wandering ghost by both the deep terror and the curse of the undead?"
Shaking his head with great regret, MacDonald took out a bag from under his robe, ignored Yusahar, and walked towards the church statue with the white, dark cursed creature.
"God of Light. If you want to resent someone, then resent your God of Magic! If it weren't for Him, this little girl's greed wouldn't have swelled to the point of devouring her."
McDonald turned and ordered the remaining Deep Cursed and a large group of Deep Priests, “Tear everything down! Go and capture some more children! We need to begin summoning Lord Eldridge!”
At his command, the Deep Curse and the Deep Priest immediately began dismantling everything inside the enormous church. Even the bench where Yusahar was sitting was smashed to pieces by the white Deep Curse's claw, causing Yusahar to fall to the ground.
Walking step by step up to Yusahar, McDonald extended his hand and smiled, "Come on! My sister, my master is waiting for our summons!"
Sitting on the ground, Yusaha, whose eyes had lost much of their intelligence, grabbed McDonald's very fat hand and pulled him up.
Meanwhile, the Dark Cursed and Dark Priests inside the church had already begun drawing a huge magic circle on the floor of the church's main hall!
"Today, our Deep Saint Aldrich will descend upon this nation, which is no longer bound by the cycle of rekindling the fire, and be freed from the fate of being forced to rekindle it!"
"Oh~!" The dark claws roared, but only Yusahar and the white dark cursed one remained silent.
-----------------------------------
Sharp golden arrows pierced the heads of several ordinary cultists. Lu Ming coldly stepped over these corpses, walking step by step towards the church.
From initially hunting demonic rabbits, to piercing the head of a dragon rider with a single sword strike, and now to the deep abyss, he has become accustomed to killing and has begun to abide by the laws of this world.
Ten people, along the way they killed over a hundred cultists of the Deep who dared to stand in their way. Ninety percent of them were killed by Lu Ming alone, wielding the Irithyll Straight Sword! Facing the undead legions of the Abyss, they were willing to destroy even a prosperous nation in their campaign to wipe out the Abyss!
As the church drew ever closer, and as countless priests and followers of the Deep Abyss stood outside, Lu Ming drew five Moonlight Arrows at once, imbuing the golden arrowheads with a chilling aura from the fine snow, and then fired them all at once!
The chill made the Moonlight Arrows even sharper, easily piercing through the bodies of several Deep Cultists without stopping. Five Moonlight Arrows, one of which pierced through dozens of Deep Cultists and Deep Priests before finally stopping.
While Lu Ming shot or wounded those blocking his way, Likat and the others began hunting down these people who had been brainwashed by Youxu, using various methods such as sword strikes.
"Greetings!" Suddenly, a large, fat man emerged from the church with a white, Dark Curse-wielding creature and addressed Lu Ming and the others: "I am one of the three archbishops of the Dark Church, and my name is McDonald!"
Lu Ming and the others silently aimed their arrows at him, causing a large number of Deep Cultists to consciously stand between him and Lu Ming and the others, preventing their arrows from hitting McDonald.
