Chapter Fifteen: Fear Worshippers!
Modo City.
It was a very peaceful day, the moon bright and the stars few, with a gentle breeze blowing.
As night fell, the people who were used to the regular life here returned to their homes one after another. Even the usually unruly pirates only had a drink at the tavern before heading back to the military camp. It must be said that the environment really can change a person. In a large overall environment, those who cannot integrate into the collective will eventually be eliminated, and the ones left gradually adapt to the rules here. One could say that Modo City has changed the factions of many people; whether they are good or evil, many chaotic faction pirates at least turned into neutral faction members, with some even becoming lawful.
This is the power of rules. In the future, children born in Modo City will grow up naturally adapting to order due to their environment.
It’s just like how adults teach children from a young age not to commit illegal acts. Perhaps some criminals will still appear, but there will be many more law-abiding citizens.
Soren is changing all of this!
This change may not be obvious yet, but it fundamentally influences Modo City.
“I’m back.”
Sister’s smile was still as gentle as ever. She gently laid down her little nephew who had just been lulled to sleep, then smiled at George, “Why are you all sweaty? So dirty! Take off your clothes and go take a shower.”
George is now a reserve military officer, and there was a bit of authority about him. However, when he returned home, he was still like a big boy, grinning, “I was just drinking at the tavern and sparring with friends.”
“Alright then.”
“I’ll go change now.”
Just after he took off his upper clothes, suddenly George seemed to hear something, his whole body shivered. He quickly grasped the long sword at his waist, looking at his astonished sister, he said in a deep voice, “Stay at home and don’t wander around! There’s trouble outside!”
After this period of training, George’s strength had improved significantly. Just now, the noise coming from the opposite street made him feel alert.
The guards in Modo City are stringent.
However, as a reserve officer, he immediately put his clothes back on, then leaped and rushed from the rooftop in that direction.
On the roof, other figures could be seen.
Many were officers from the defense station, as well as reserve officers, all taking a shortcut across the rooftops to approach straight ahead.
Rumbling!
An intense explosion sounded.
To the south of Modo City, flames suddenly shot into the sky, followed by several houses igniting in flames.
In the distance, faint sounds of civilians crying could be heard.
Then came urgent and orderly footsteps; the patrol team quickly approached after hearing the commotion.
“This way! Ah!!!…”
A scream echoed, and George instantly drew his long sword, greeting a few of his colleagues. They rapidly scattered and rushed over.
Who is so bold?!
Daring to cause trouble in Modo City! They must pay a heavy price!
Most reserve officers are mid-level professionals, and more than a dozen figures quickly approached there. However, upon seeing the enemies before them, they couldn’t help but gasp.
Demons!
Although it was their first time seeing demons with their own eyes, they recognized their identities the moment they saw these monsters.
An ugly, tall, and dangerous demon.
Fearful energy spread; George noticed that his colleagues around him were a bit pale, seemingly affected by the enemy.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and charged forward with his sword. Seeing him move, his colleagues, who had been training with him, immediately began to cover him. Regardless of whether the enemies were demons or not, since they dared to cause trouble in Modo City, they must pay the price.
……………
Laboratory.
Gloria, who was analyzing data from the Golem Factory, suddenly stopped. Standing beside her was the Fallen Witch, whose expression also changed slightly. She suddenly said solemnly, “Demons! Demons have infiltrated Modo City!”
A transmission of spiritual light appeared.
In the next moment, the two witches’ figures appeared over Modo City.
At this time, many parts of Modo City were already engulfed in flames, and a priest from the Half-Elf Temple rushed out quickly, while the High Priest appeared shortly thereafter.
“There are demons infiltrating! The nearby ones are just small fry!”
The High Priest frowned tightly, looking around, and said to Gloria and the Fallen Witch beside him, “I will activate the Spiritual Energy Field and then connect our minds! I sense a high-level demon has infiltrated here, but I cannot determine its location yet!”
The battle erupted.
Just a glance revealed to Gloria that many of the appearing enemies were mid to low-level demons; they seemed to be causing destruction. The defense army and priest team had already rushed over, and resolving them shouldn’t be too difficult.
“Not good!”
As if remembering something, Gloria’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, “Vivian!!!”
Rumbling.
An astonishing explosion suddenly came from near Soren’s mansion. Gloria’s face turned pale as she immediately transported herself there, calling out anxiously, “Vivian! It’s Vivian’s place! The defensive warning magic circle has been breached!”
Flames soared.
When the three of them arrived nearby, many demon corpses lay before them. Lulu, the agile and small cat girl, landed beside them, holding a shimmering dagger in her hand, next to a slain demon. The little cat girl’s arm was bleeding, and her expression was slightly panicked, “Demons! Very powerful demons!”
“Vivian is awake!”
“The demons are inside, Vivian is also inside! Meow!…”
The Fallen Witch scanned the corpses on the ground, suddenly landing beside the corpse of a bald man. She kicked the corpse and retrieved a badge from its clothing, murmuring, “Church of Fear!”
“Not good!!!”
“This is the church that serves the Demon God of Fear!”
Regarding Vivian’s hidden identity, both Gloria and the Fallen Witch naturally knew.
So now that both the Fear Church worshippers and demons from the Bottomless Abyss appeared, even an idiot could guess they were here for Vivian.
Soren had only just left not long ago.
These Fear Worshippers and demons had begun to act, clearly having already lurked near Modo City in advance.
This discovery made Gloria uneasy; she was very worried about Vivian’s current situation.
“Found it!”
Suddenly, a strange light appeared in the High Priest’s eyes, then he said in a deep voice, “Over there! A high-level demon! A legendary-level priest!…”
“And!…”
“Not good! Someone has summoned the Slayer!…”
