"Is there a fight over there, Eileen? I can't see clearly."
On the clock tower, Amelia looked at the dark and secluded alley in the distance with some confusion.
Eileen looked in that direction as well and replied, "There must be a barrier that's blocking our view."
"A barrier?" Amelia suddenly realized.
“This barrier should be a ‘two-layer world.’ Many apostles who obtain barrier-related abilities from the Book of Mystery have a high probability of acquiring this ability, which can separate an area from the outside world. No matter what happens in that area, the outside world will not be able to detect it,” Eileen explained to Amelia.
“This barrier is quite different from the one Beth had in Rhine City before,” Amelia thought to herself.
“There are many types of barriers, and Beth has mastered the abilities of the others,” Eileen replied.
“I understand.” Amelia nodded, then said, “There shouldn’t be only two layers of worlds in the barrier below, right?”
“Below this barrier of the two worlds, there should be another barrier to trap people, preventing them from leaving directly. Otherwise, the Red Moon Society would have no reason to fight to the death if they encountered problems,” Eileen concluded.
"So that's how it is... Hmm?"
Amelia's gaze suddenly sharpened as there was a commotion coming from the alleyway.
The black barrier that had just been there suddenly disappeared, revealing the chaos in the alley. Shouts of killing and the sounds of collisions erupted from the alley, creating a rumbling noise that immediately alerted many people nearby.
Upon seeing this, Eileen immediately explained, "The person who set up the barrier died, so the barrier disappeared. Apart from large barriers that automatically absorb free-floating energy in the world and can exist for a long time, these temporary barriers all require the person who sets them up to provide power."
Chapter 63 (Final Chapter)
“Bourne!”
Baker shouted angrily.
Bourne was a lower-ranking apostle in their Baker Adventurer Group, responsible for setting up the barrier. Due to the special nature of his abilities, he held a respectable position within the group and was someone Bourne valued highly. However, he was killed by Aaron due to a moment of carelessness.
Right after killing the target, Aaron shouted, "Everyone, scatter and evacuate!"
Now that the barrier was destroyed, Aaron naturally didn't want to stay and fight any longer. After all, the Red Moon Society didn't have as many people as the Baker Adventurer Group. If the fight really went on, most of the others would probably die, and he would be surrounded and attacked, making his chances of survival slim.
As Aaron finished speaking, all the members of the Red Moon Society scattered and prepared to flee.
"Don't even think about escaping! Leave them all here!" Baker shouted as he charged toward Aaron.
Among the many people, Aaron was the only middle-ranking apostle, and his importance was undoubtedly the highest. Naturally, Beck would not let such a guy go.
"Whizzing!"
The two rushed out of the alley and ran rampaging through the streets of Beard City, causing gasps of surprise.
==========
From the clock tower, Amelia and Irene witnessed everything.
“Eileen,” Amelia said calmly, “not a single member of the Red Moon Society can be left alive.”
“I understand.” Eileen nodded seriously.
The Baker Adventurer Group didn't know their identities, and it didn't matter if they ignored them, but the Red Moon Society could only be at peace when they all left this world.
From their vantage point, they could clearly see the Red Moon Society's escape and quickly concluded that the vast majority of them would not escape, because the Baker Adventurer Group had simply too many members to wipe them all out.
Moreover, probably because of the deaths of many people, the members of the Baker Adventurer's Group are now all furious, and they kill any Red Moon Society members they capture without any mercy.
The only one who might escape is the mid-level apostle of the Red Moon Society. Although the other party has Beck, who is also a mid-level apostle, chasing after him, it is hard to say whether he can catch up.
"Eileen, let's go after them too."
"I see."
The two descended the clock tower and headed in the direction Aaron had fled. Since Aaron and Baker had fought their way back, creating a lot of chaos along the way, tracking them was not difficult.
It wasn't long before the two of them caught up with the city and reached the northern outskirts of Beard.
Here you can see vast farmlands, rivers, and towering, continuous mountains.
When Amelia and Eileen arrived, they found Baker leaning against a tree by the roadside, panting heavily, covered in blood, staring angrily in one direction, but they did not chase after him.
It seems there's no way to get the target.
Amelia and Eileen immediately bypassed Baker and chased after him into the distance.
==========
"Cough cough cough."
Aaron ran a long way and, seeing that Baker was no longer chasing after him, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he inflicted considerable damage on Beck with his abilities of Soul Withering and Life Absorption, preventing the guy from catching up, he also suffered significant injuries himself.
"Damn the Baker Adventurer Group, once I find out what happened, your adventurer group won't have an easy time."
Aaron gritted his teeth.
His next plan is to contact the Red Moon Society members in other cities and get them to come and help. At that time, the mere Baker Adventurer Group will be no threat at all.
As Aaron continued to walk away into the night, she thought to herself.
But after walking only a few steps, Aaron felt a sense of crisis and almost instinctively dodged to the side.
"Whoosh..."
A sword pierced through Aaron's original spot, but unfortunately, it missed.
The soul withers!
As Aaron dodged, he stomped his foot, and a black ripple spread out, immediately slowing down the pursuers' follow-up attack and preventing them from launching a continuous assault.
Taking this opportunity, Aaron quickly stepped back, staring intently at the person who had suddenly appeared: "A member of the Baker Adventurer's Guild?"
Eileen was a little disappointed that she couldn't kill Aaron by sneak attack, but she was not discouraged and charged at Aaron again. As for his question, she didn't need to answer it.
Life is in our grasp!
Seeing this, Aaron also made a move. You couldn't even see what he was doing, but Eileen felt her blood boiling, as if it was about to burst out of her body.
If someone is weaker than Aaron, this single move would cause them to bleed to death instantly. Even someone of similar strength would be greatly affected, feeling extremely uncomfortable and experiencing a significant drop in combat ability.
The withering of the soul brings a sense of weakness, and coupled with the draining of life force, it is enough to significantly weaken a person.
The power of death is truly bizarre. If Aaron had reliable teammates to help him, he would definitely have the upper hand. But unfortunately, he is alone now. Although he has excellent support abilities, his own combat strength is ultimately not high.
Aaron was aware of his own situation, so while restraining Eileen, he turned to leave.
But Eileen is not Baker.
Beck's abilities are all offensive, and he can't catch up with Aaron even with the double weakening, but Eileen has the passive ability of enhanced jump.
With a light leap, Eileen traversed a vast distance, landing directly above Aaron's head. Her sword, gleaming silver, slashed swiftly through the air.
Amelia, who had also come along, didn't just stand by and watch.
Hidden in the shadows, she decisively drew her bow at this moment, unleashing the Sigh of the Wind and shooting out a blue arrow.
Amelia didn't aim at Aaron, but instead shot towards Aaron's left side.
Aaron had a river to his right and an open space to his left. Facing Eileen's sword falling from the sky, Aaron didn't think twice and charged to the left.
He dodged Irene's sword, but not Amelia's arrow.
"puff!"
Amelia's arrow pierced straight through Aaron's shoulder, causing him to scream in agony.
There's still one person?
Aaron was furious and instinctively wanted to attack Amelia's location, but Eileen, who had already missed twice, would not miss again.
Or rather, Eileen already knew that her sword strike from the sky would be dodged, so she hadn't put much power into this attack and was prepared to change her move. Therefore, as she landed, her sword slashed to the side without any suspense and directly slashed into Aaron's waist.
"Aaaaaah..." Aaron screamed in agony as the excruciating pain in his waist contorted his face. He stared intently at Eileen: "I curse you, with all my power!"
Chapter 64 Curse
The power that the Blood Moon can wield is death and curse.
As a mid-level apostle, Aaron naturally obtained three abilities from the Crimson Moon. In addition to the two death abilities of soul withering and life draining, he also had the ability of cursing.
As life slipped away, Aaron gritted his teeth and concentrated all his power on his curse, staring intently at Eileen.
Even Eileen felt uncomfortable under such gazes. She immediately pulled the sword from Aaron's waist with a forceful movement, and with another swing, the blood-stained sword light sliced across Aaron's neck.
Under the cover of night, a head flew off.
Amelia, who was hiding in the shadows, trotted over and took out the corpse-dissolving liquid she had prepared beforehand, intending to dissolve Aaron's body.
"The Red Moon Society members in Beard City are all wiped out. As for the people in other cities, they should be unaware of the situation here, so we can rest assured... Hmm? Eileen, what's wrong with you?"
As Amelia spoke, she realized that something seemed amiss with Eileen.
Eileen's body looked swaying, as if she was enduring some kind of pain, which worried Amelia. She couldn't care less about melting Aaron's body anymore and quickly went to Eileen's side to support her.
"Eileen, what's wrong with you... um..."
Just as Amelia was helping Eileen up, Eileen suddenly used her strength to knock Amelia to the ground, pinning Amelia's hands firmly to the ground.
With her strength as a mid-level apostle, Amelia was powerless to resist her actions.
"Eileen... Eileen, what's wrong...?"
This sudden turn of events left Amelia wide-eyed.
She could feel Eileen's body pressed tightly against hers, and her right knee seemed to be climbing up her leg, from her calf to her knee, and from her knee to her thigh...
If I'm not mistaken, this should be Slaanesh's curse, right?
[This curse seems to have appeared in the original storyline as well. Although Irene wasn't affected by it in the original story, it seems to cause people to have Slaanesh on their minds under the influence of the curse?]
I checked the encyclopedia, and Slaanesh's curse does indeed have that effect.
In other words, what exciting things might happen next?
Where are my tissues? I need to get some.
[I never imagined my first time would happen in the middle of nowhere. Although the environment wasn't great, it's the wilderness—doesn't that make it even more exciting?]
【Amelia, you're about to be...hehehe.】
