The head slowly fell off, and a large amount of blood gushed from the wound on the neck, forming a rain of blood. The headless, bewildered body of the guard also collapsed heavily in the baptism of blood, and was no more.

Glancing at his two dead comrades, the last, bewildered guard felt not a ripple of emotion. He was a puppet soldier created from cursed armor and cursed undead; feelings were utterly foreign to him.

"Although I'm the only one left, how many elemental bottles do you have left?" It retreated step by step to a corner to avoid being surrounded by Lu Ming and the others. While questioning Lu Ming and the other three in a strange and arrogant voice, it would occasionally unleash a barrage of high-speed stars, keeping the four of them busy destroying them.

"Seed Machine Gun!" A barrage of seeds instantly shattered all the high-speed stars that were being fired at him.

The instant the seed machine gun stopped, Lu Ming downed a bottle of elemental ash and raised the magic wand of Pihem.

At that moment, a phantom image of a woman, also holding the Peheim magic staff and whose face was covered by a black robe, appeared beside him.

"Crystallized Soul Spear!" With a loud shout from Lu Ming, a crystallized soul spear shot out from his magic staff, heading straight for the last bewildered guard! At the same time, the eyes of the phantom figure beside him, hidden beneath its black robe, suddenly burst forth with a sinister blue light, also unleashing a crystallized soul spear!

Two of the strongest soul-based spells directly and severely injured the Bewildered Guardian!

At that moment, Jack and Buckton immediately seized the opportunity, each unleashing their strongest attack to instantly eliminate the last bewildered guard.

"Ha~ha~ha~" Lu Ming, whose entire mana bar had been depleted by a Crystal Soul Spear, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. He didn't recover for a long time.

Unlike before when he had only a sliver of mana left, the feeling of completely depleting his mana was extremely unpleasant. Now he finally understood why Lily felt dizzy and weak after running out of mana; this feeling, almost like having his soul drained, was truly agonizing!

"Are you alright?" Since all the guards were dead, Jack and the others rushed over. Seeing that Lu Ming looked terrible, they immediately picked him up and ran towards the campfire deep inside the room.

After Miral lit the campfire, Jack placed the unconscious Lu Ming beside it and watched with the other two as he was teleported away by the fire...

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

When Lu Ming regained consciousness, he found himself no longer in the instance. He was now in a large forest, surrounded by a tree and a few curious little foxes watching him.

Just as Lu Ming was about to get up from the ground, the little foxes ran away as if fleeing.

"Hehe, did I scare them?" Looking around and finding no ferocious beasts nearby, Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Picking up the phone that had fallen to the ground, I casually opened the attribute and skill menus, intending to check my attributes and the skill description of Yusaha's Crystal Soul Spear.

"I forgot to check before, but I didn't expect that I'm already a real magician. And besides the +6 Intelligence, all the other attributes have increased by 3. Not bad, a good start!"

"Yosaha's Crystal Soul Spear: A summoning spell obtained using Yusaha's Crystal Amber Eyes. It can summon a phantom of Yusaha Sachi to unleash the Crystal Soul Spear together with the caster."

Mana cost: 175x2

"A single shot of Crystal Soul Spear costs 175 mana, and since this skill fires two shots, does that mean I have to use up my entire mana bar? Yusahar, you're as greedy as ever!"

Looking at the mana cost in the skill description, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh and touch the pendant around his neck.

But at that moment, Lu Ming heard some voices, so he quickly put away his phone, grabbed his magic wand and Irithyll's Straight Sword, and ran over.

"How much money do you think you could make selling these things here?"

"Who knows? I only know that some nobles in the city like to keep strange animals and magical beasts. How would I know how much money they would spend on them!"

Listening to the conversation of a group of people who sounded like hunters or animal catchers, Lu Ming walked through a thicket of trees and saw them, and what he saw left him speechless!

A group of raggedly dressed people were using a large piece of pork to lure some small carnivores, including the group of little foxes from before, onto a caged carriage!

Seeing those people watching the little ones devour the piece of pork, their faces showing both heartache and drooling, made Lu Ming speechless.

"Hey! Who are you? Why are you dressed in such tattered clothes like us?" One of the people saw Lu Ming emerge from the bushes and ran back to ask.

Chapter Nine - Typhon's Forest

"So you're a lost nobleman! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

After Lu Ming introduced himself and said that he was a noble baron, the people immediately looked at him with an admiring gaze, which made him very uncomfortable.

Night. Because the forest was too large, Lu Ming and the others had no choice but to camp in the forest. But as Lu Ming sat by the campfire, tearing into the magic rabbit he had hunted, the pitiful look on the faces of the others made Lu Ming have to give them two extra magic rabbits, so that they wouldn't have to pretend they were eating meat when they were biting into their half-black bread.

"Recently, a trend of raising strange magical beasts has emerged among some nobles in the city. In order to make a better living for our families, we came to this forest, intending to catch some of these immature magical beasts and bring them back to the nobles who like them, in exchange for some money."

"Raising magical beasts..." Sitting by the campfire, after listening to the words of one of the leaders among the commoners, Lu Ming subconsciously thought of his Oddish and his daughter Kanina's Lucario. He wondered if Yuzahar's death would affect Kanina. If Kanina disappeared because of him, he would never forgive himself.

The commoner leader didn't notice anything amiss with Lu Ming. He handed Lu Ming a small fox he had caught and said, "Baron, this is a second-tier fire fox. Although it's still a cub, it's a token of our goodwill. We hope you will accept it."

"Is that so? Then I'll accept it. However, I can't just take your magical beast for free. Here are three silver coins, that's fine." Knowing that the other party was having a hard time and that he needed to travel with them to leave the forest, Lu Ming accepted the little fox. However, he also gave it three silver coins, which prompted the fox to kowtow in gratitude.

In Miracais, it's extremely shameful for nobles to take things from commoners; they're considered shameless, so paying them is a must. Lu Ming, under Sham's guidance, knew this. Besides, he wasn't afraid of these people plotting against him. Leaving aside their actual strength, the walking grass he secretly released while hunting would be enough to incapacitate them! So there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Besides, this group of people, like the people of Helas Village, have an extreme reverence for nobles. Even if Lu Ming is wrong, they will see him as right.

"A mother fox? From now on, you can be called Lu'er." Holding the very obedient little fox, Lu Mingzai looked at it carefully, then patted the little fox's head and smiled.

Seemingly knowing that Lu Ming would be her master in the future, the little fox Lu'er licked Lu Ming's fingers very obediently, making Lu Ming laugh.

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

While Lu Ming was camping in the Typhon Forest, in the city of Agamemnon, the capital of Erebus, some members of the Church of Light were with the son of Duke Hades, who had mentioned Lu Ming in the revelation of the God of Light that afternoon, asking the Duke for a piece of land of moderate size.

"He fought alongside others against the abyss of Paris, and was one of the last two survivors. I imagine the Grand Duke must greatly admire such a valiant nobleman!"

“Yes, Archbishop. I am very pleased that such a nobleman is a member of my Duchy of Erebus. I also agree to grant such a nobleman a territory. However, it seems that Erebus does not have any vacant lands at the moment, which is a great dilemma for me.”

Upon hearing Grand Duke Hedist's words, his son, Viscount Saldallo, immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, the territory of Odysseus outside Agamemnon is currently without a lord. Moreover, and most importantly, it happens to be a baronial territory. Wouldn't it be perfect to give it to him?"

Grand Duke Ramster Hedist, with his white hair and imposing appearance, slightly darkened his expression and gave his son a cold look. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Since there's a vacant baronial title, then give it to him. However, His Majesty the Emperor is planning to send Princess Ella to Erebus for an inspection tour, so let him accompany her. After all, he has a daughter of about the same age, so they should have plenty to talk about. Besides, doesn't she also have a very strange magical beast?"

Upon seeing this, the Archbishop nodded and said, "In that case, our Church of Light thanks you on behalf of the heroes who fought against the Darkness. Your Excellency!"

Viscount Saldal bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Father!"

"Well, let's go!"

"Then, we'll take our leave."

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

In a half-asleep, half-awake state, Lu Ming slept until dawn, while the others, having also been on night watch, were all somewhat out of sorts.

"Your Excellency, we must set off now. Otherwise, we will have a hard time getting back to Agamemnon this afternoon." Just as Lu Ming was washing up, the leader of the commoners came over and said respectfully to him.

"Okay! I understand!" After washing up briefly, Lu Ming picked up Lu'er and carried her to a nearby thicket. He then picked up the night watchman, Walking Grass, and joined the civilians on their journey.

Although the common people were curious about Lu Ming's walking grass, they dared not ask anything because Lu Ming was a nobleman.

About ten minutes after everyone woke up, the group set off for Agamemnon.

Along the way, perhaps due to the little creatures on the carriage, Lu Ming and his companions frequently encountered magical beasts that jumped out to rescue their fellow creatures. However, under the attack of the Oddish's sleeping powder, these beasts themselves became part of the carriage.

"How much do you estimate these magical beasts are worth?" Looking at the civilians who were clearly ordinary people, and then at the second-tier magical beasts that were nothing to Lu Ming but could easily inflict heavy casualties on the civilians, Lu Ming asked the leader of the civilians.

"I don't know. I've never been to school, so I don't know how much these things are worth. But the nobles in the city would buy these magical beasts for at least a silver coin, so these must be worth a lot of money!" The commoner leader scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly.

"..." Lu Ming paused for a moment, looking at these commoners who had never thought about whether they could leave the forest alive, but instead fantasized about making a lot of money. He didn't know how to judge them.

Just then, the sounds of fighting reached Lu Ming and the others' ears. The civilians immediately became somewhat panicked.

"Don't panic! Let's hurry over there and see!"

However, under Lu Ming's command, the commoners instantly calmed down. Led by a nobleman, even commoners were terrifying under Miracaesar's command!

Despite knowing he might be asking for trouble, Lu Ming couldn't ignore the girl's scream amidst the fighting. So he left Lu Bucao, Lu'er, and half of the civilians behind to protect the carriage, while he and the civilian leader led their men to see what was happening.

As a result, after running for about five minutes, they saw the people who had been attacked.

A group of men, who appeared to be guards of a noble family, were desperately protecting a carriage from an attack by a group of strange, blue, humanoid monsters with large heads, who were possibly aliens.

However, after Lu Ming clearly saw what those blue monsters were, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Bloodborne's Smurfs? Why are they here?"

Yes, those humanoid blue-headed beings are cyborgs from the Bloodline. They are humans transformed into aliens, with tragic stories and painful lives. But why are they here? Could it be that they, like the Soul Eaters, were summoned to Puru?

"You don't have any weapons, so after I disperse those Smurfs, you'll help those people move the carriage away, understand?"

Looking back at the civilians who had come with him, seeing their unarmed state, Lu Ming didn't really expect them to help. After giving an order, he charged forward himself.

In an instant, Lu Ming pulled out the Irithyll Straight Sword and the Peheim's Staff from his phone and charged into the Smurfs with lightning speed.

With just one attack, Lu Ming used Irithyll's icy winds and Farron's sharpness to decapitate several Smurfs.

"Who is he?" Just as Lu Ming was easily killing the Smurfs and his experience points were increasing rapidly, a girl in the carriage saw Lu Ming's heroic figure, which was as sharp as a cold wind, through the carriage window and couldn't help but ask her captain of the guards.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. But this man has a noble’s crest on his chest, so he should be a nobleman from Erebus.”

"Aristocrats?"

Perhaps sensing Lu Ming's power, the Smurfs abandoned their carriages and guards, and instead gathered together, rushing towards Lu Ming.

This was exactly what Lu Ming wanted. After quickly retreating to a safe position, Lu Ming raised his Peheim's Staff high and shouted, "Fran's Arrow Rain!"

Instantly, a ghostly blue light flashed on the magic wand, and more than ten Farron short arrows were fired at the Smurfs in front of Lu Ming!

Although the direction of the magic was uncontrollable, it killed several Smurfs and injured countless others.

"Is he a mage? Why is he using a sword to kill those strange things?" Upon seeing the spell "Rain of Arrows," the person in the carriage couldn't help but mutter to themselves. After all, in Miracaiser, mages were a rare profession. Almost no mage would learn such swordsmanship, which was almost identical to that of a warrior.

However, Lu Ming's swordsmanship was just so-so, lacking any real technique and relying almost entirely on the sharpness of his weapon!

"Fran's Swift Sword!" Seeing that only a few Smurfs still had fighting power, Lu Ming immediately rushed over with a high-speed movement. Before the Smurfs could react, he easily killed them with his blue soul sword, increasing his experience points by a full 2,900!

Chapter 10 - Agamemnon

As the city drew closer, Lu Ming, holding Lu'er and Walking Grass, smiled.

Because they had saved a nobleman whose identity they didn't know, Lu Ming and the commoners who had helped him received some rewards. However, knowing that it was a disgrace for a nobleman to accept rewards, Lu Ming firmly refused the bag of gold coins offered by them.
