A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

These former colleagues have now turned into writhing lumps of flesh beneath their armor, a sight that makes one want to vomit.

And this kind of distortion doesn't take into account how strong you are.

Countless powerful adventurers, overestimating their abilities, approached the Corruptor, and without exception, were twisted into disgusting beings.

Even now, they are still emitting chilling groans, including many B-rank adventurers, and even one or two relatively well-known A-rank adventurers.

Even S-rank adventurers couldn't escape this fate...

In fact, even so-called S-class adventurers are not eligible.

This is not a spell at all, nor can it be avoided simply by having strong magic resistance.

Without the means to confront the "concept," one is not even qualified to stand before the polluters.

The only means of attack is ranged attack.

Unfortunately, long-range attacks are not very effective.

Just as the captain of the guard was in despair, an arrow pierced the sky and stabbed straight into the corrupted man.

"We've come to help!" Rolando said solemnly.

"Who are you?" The captain of the guard looked at the adventurer who had appeared beside him with surprise and uncertainty.

"Rolando!" Rolando readily gave his name.

Then, after Rolando finished speaking, the group behind him launched another attack on the Corruptor.

"That hero!" The captain of the guard was overjoyed.

“If there were a team of brave warriors, perhaps there would be a chance!” the captain of the guard said, then continued to command the guards of Inlai City in an orderly manner.

Rolando witnessed the horrific scene on the street and felt fortunate that he hadn't been turned into a monster immediately in the underground factory.

It seems that they were far enough away from the contaminant to be safe, right?

However, now is not the time to think about these issues; stopping this polluter is the priority.

“Let’s cast some spells that restrict movement!!!” Ellie then said.

“Give us some time!” Ellie added.

"Understood!" Rolando said in a deep voice.

"Sir, please buy some time."

"..." The captain of the guard was silent for a moment.

"Okay." He finally agreed.

Whether or not time can be gained is not up to the guard captain; we can only pray that we can.

If successful, dealing with a target is much easier than dealing with a large, moving object.

Unfortunately, the polluters are not mindless creatures.

When the polluter saw the obstacles constantly appearing in front of it, it was clear that the other party wanted to block its way.

"Trying to stop the footsteps of the gods?" A voice came from beneath the armor.

The voice was muffled and no longer resembled Levi's voice.

The captain of the guard was stunned, as it was the first time he had heard the polluter speak.

Because all along, the captain of the guard had regarded this big guy as a mindless puppet.

“That’s right! We are here to bind you, this so-called god!” Roland roared, drawing his longsword, the tip pointing directly at the massive Corruptor.

The magic circle lit up beneath the feet of the three female mages behind Rolando.

The magic circle expanded, its boundaries extending to the feet of the polluters.

Then, stones rose up and covered the polluter's legs.

"Giant petrification"

The purpose of this spell is to petrify giant monsters!

Although the petrification did not spread further, it was enough to bind the polluter's legs.

"Now's the time! Launch the final assault! We don't know how long the effect will last!" With that, Rolando unleashed a blade of energy from his longsword, striking the Corruptor.

This scene was incredibly inspiring, and all the guards were thrilled.

The barrage of attacks was overwhelming, almost engulfing the entire body of the corrupted creature.

"You guys!! Retreat!" A voice rang out from behind the guards.

It was the voice of an older man.

Eric stood behind the guards, his expression extremely serious. "Withdraw?" The captain of the guard frowned.

Now is by no means the perfect time to attack, and retreating at this point would be unacceptable to the captain of the guard.

"The 'Giant Petrification' spell can only be used on monsters with relatively low magic resistance," Alice, standing behind Eric, said at this moment.

"Unfortunately, this big guy's magic resistance is above average."

Alice witnessed the spells that the corrupted beings endured, including many of the most destructive spells.

But the polluters remained completely unmoved!

As soon as Alice finished speaking, the stones on the polluter began to fall off continuously.

"Foolish, insignificant." A disdainful voice came from beneath the armor.

The voice was hollow, yet it resonated in people's hearts.

The polluter stepped out of the magic circle.

The polluter had never made any aggressive moves before, but this time it became angry.

The irritation of having ants crawling on one's body fills the soul of the polluter.

The pulsating blood vessels in the polluted person's body stopped throbbing for a moment.

Then it multiplied rapidly, forming clumps of sarcoma.

"Hurry up and retreat!!!" Eric roared angrily, unable to understand why there was any hesitation after seeing all this.

“Brave One…” The captain of the guard chose to seek Rolando’s opinion.

“Then let’s retreat…” Rolando said after a moment’s hesitation.

After all, Rolando knew Eric; this man wouldn't say anything nonsensical.

"Retreat!!! Everyone retreat!!" The captain of the guard nodded and then roared.

Unfortunately, both the captain of the guard and Rolando hesitated for too long.

The tumors that had proliferated from the blood vessels moved across the surface of the armor, then moved to the contaminated man's hands, falling from between his fingers like water droplets.

The tumors fell to the ground and spread out, forming a web of cocoons.

The area of ​​the cocoon web grew larger and larger, and in just a few breaths, it reached the feet of Rolando and the captain of the guard, who were standing at the front of the line.

"Twist into a beautiful posture."

The sound echoed in everyone's ears, sending chills down their spines.

The moment Rolando saw the spreading cocoon web reach his feet, he jumped back.

In terms of reaction speed, Rolando is quite good; he would never lose his title as an A-rank adventurer.

Unfortunately, the captain of the guard didn't have Rolando's reaction speed.

The cocoon web extended its fine threads, which climbed onto the guard captain's leg, preventing him from pulling his leg away.

"It's inside!!! This thing!!!! Aa ...

There was no pain; the captain of the guard felt no pain at all.

They even felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.

"Hahahaha!! What is this!!! What a strange feeling!! Hahaha!!!! I can feel it!!" The guard captain, who was originally filled with fear, had a distorted expression and laughed wildly.

The blood vessels under the skin become incredibly prominent and large, becoming visible.

The captain of the guard's laughter grew increasingly muffled and indistinct, until it no longer sounded like he was speaking.

"laugh--"

A tentacle emerged from the captain of the guard's mouth, then bound Rolando's feet and slammed him violently onto the cocoon net.

"What?!" Rolando exclaimed in shock.

But Rolando was surprised by much more than that.

"Haha, together, together we feel the deepest ecstasy in our brains..." The captain of the guard's indistinct voice rang in Rolando's ears.

"What a joke!" Roland severed the tentacles with his longsword and prepared to roll away from the cocoon.

But countless thin strands of flesh shot out from the net, grabbed Rolando's body, and began trying to crawl inside.

"Hero!!" Ellie panicked.

"Rolando!!!!!!!!!" Kaiji immediately thought of rushing up to save Rolando.

Seeing Kegel's actions, Tristie tried her best to stop him.

"Let go!!!" Kaiger glared fiercely at Tristie, which made Tristie's grip weaken considerably.

It was because of this weakening force that Kegel broke free from Tristia and rushed to Rolando's side without hesitation.

“Rolando!!!” Ignoring the tiny tentacles that were beginning to bind him, Kegel hugged Rolando.

However, something is not right.

Kaijie suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.

In an instant, it seemed that Kegel no longer loved Rolando.

"What's going on..."

"What's with this feeling!?"

Lumps of flesh began to ooze from Rolando's skin, destroying the entire charm spell on his body.

That's why Rolando's charm failed at this moment.

The girls always thought it was the feeling of being in love, but it was just an illusion created by being bewitched.

It was all an illusion from beginning to end.

That subtle fondness led these girls, who had never been in love before, to mistakenly believe that they had fallen in love.

Even Kaiji'er is like that.

Tentacles crawled out from Rolando's handsome face, making Kaiji feel nauseous.

"Do I...do I really love you, Rolando?" Unconsciously, Kegel began to have doubts.

What is it like to risk your life to save the one you love, only to find that your "love" is fake?

“Kaijier…” Rolando opened his mouth, which was full of tiny, free-floating tentacles.

“Let’s…let’s experience this together, Kaiger…” Roland said in a muffled voice.

Meanwhile, as the fine threads burrowed into her body, Kaijie suddenly understood what ** was all about.

"Aaaaaah, what is this? What got in?!"

"So comfortable, hahaha, so comfortable!!!"

As if something was stirring his brain, Kaijie had lost the ability to think; all he could feel was endless euphoria.

"Hahaha...so comfortable..." Kaijie's mouth drooled.

The last tears fell from her eyes. "Hero! Sister Kegel!" Ellie stopped casting her spell and screamed, clutching her head.

The three people standing on the cocoon web were twisting their limbs.

Unlike those who were distorted by being near the contaminated, the three figures' appearances remained quite intact.

But the countless tentacles extending from these three people, along with their distorted groans, made everyone realize one thing.

The people I used to know are no longer here.
