With a click, a sound like breaking glass was heard, and the barrier was shattered.
As the light flashed, Artoria and Gudazi appeared in the dungeon together.
"Coming out?"
The two girls looked at each other for a while before finally confirming the current situation.
"Leave quickly."
Okita Souji stopped several people who seemed to want to talk.
She kicked Beryl Pig in front of her like a football and walked out of the dungeon at the lead.
Seeing that her expression was quite urgent, several people couldn't help but trembled in their hearts and quickly followed her.
Beryl Pig let out a howl.
"Ms. Okita, are you the only one here?"
In the passage to the surface, Gudazi took two steps forward and asked her.
"No, everyone and I are here, but I found this place first."
Okita Souji was walking quickly in the passage.
"What about the extended family?"
"On top."
She paused, then looked slightly downcast.
"But you have to be prepared."
Ready?
Several people were a little confused.
What preparations need to be made?
But there’s no need to ask her.
Under the leadership of the General Secretary, several people moved quickly and soon reached the upper level of the dungeon.
As soon as they arrived here, the expressions of the three people became extremely ugly.
"Ahh——!"
"Oh wow!"
"Err?!"
Morse figures can be found everywhere in the not-so-wide underground space.
Some screamed, some hit the wall, and some burst into tears.
Each one is in human form, including men, women and children. Each one is suffering from the severe pain caused by the Morse poison. The scene of the dancing demons makes everyone seem to be in agony!
"These are all hostages captured from the Earl's mansion. Most of them are fine and have been taken away. However, some of the people who have been infected with Morse poison cannot be brought to the ground easily."
Souji Okita explained.
Little Da Vinci, Muramasa, Tristan and others are struggling at the moment, trying to control everyone, but more than a hundred people have been poisoned, which is too many. With the power of just a few people, it is really a drop in the bucket.
More importantly, they don’t know how to deal with this group of people!
They had no research on the Morse poison and could not remove the toxin at all. If they were brought to the surface, they would probably set off a large-scale Morse epidemic that would sweep through the Fairy Kingdom. The dilemma made it almost impossible for them to start. "Where's Gareth?"
Artoria suddenly spoke up.
Among the crowd, she saw no trace of Gareth!
With Gareth's character of getting along well with the refugees, it would be impossible not to be present at this time!
Souji Okita said nothing.
She pointed to the corner of the dungeon.
Arturia rushed over like a wind.
But what she saw in the corner.
But there is only one bell.
"Sorry."
A man is sitting next to the clock.
His face was pale, and his whole body was covered with dark Morse curses. He looked as weak as a seriously ill and dying patient in the intensive care unit.
Even so, he still apologized to Artoria backwards with a guilty look on his face.
"After being sucked into the barrier, Gareth and I were separated. By the time I found her, it was already like this."
Artoria can understand.
Because after being sucked into the barrier, there was a thick barrier between her and Gudazi. She relied on her understanding of Ting to barely interfere with Gudazi.
After being sucked into the barrier, Pepe and Gareth must have been separated. Unfortunately, the two were not even locked together.
By the time Pepe broke out of the barrier, it was already too late.
"...How did you die?"
Artoria lowered her head.
"The body is covered with Morse poison."
Pepe held on to her weak body and spoke with admiration but also pity.
"There are about 500 refugees captured in total, but there are only more than 100 here, and the remaining 300 or so have left without incident... It's not like they were not poisoned by Morse poison."
That's right.
While 500 refugees were imprisoned in the barrier, its holder had already poured a large amount of Morse poison into it. A few hours later, it was enough to infect everyone!
As a result, the number of infected people still here is only over a hundred.
That is to say.
"Did Gareth absorb everyone's poison into himself?"
Artoria guessed the truth.
Veins popped out in her hand holding the wand.
"That's right."
Pepe's answer confirmed her guess.
This is indeed the correct answer.
However, Pepe also hid part of it.
Gareth is just a low-level elf.
Although he is the reincarnation of Ainsel, the leader of the Mirror Clan, he has not completely inherited the power of the previous generation, and it is impossible to withstand so much poison.
In fact, Gareth only endured a hundred doses of Morse poison before he died.
The remaining two hundred people were absorbed by Peipei.
"But now is not the time to talk about such things. Let's let Gareth personally bear more admiration. This is also my apology for not being able to save you..."
"Asshole!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Bastard bastard bastard!"
The magic wand struck Beryl Pig's body again and again.
Arturia's eyes were bloodshot, she held the wand in both hands, whipping the white pig skin mercilessly, causing Beryl Pig to make a series of pitiful snorts.
"I'm coming too!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka also rushed forward with a face full of resentment, kicking it in the abdomen with all her strength.
"In addition, I will also take care of others..."
Peipei was weak, but her face was full of hatred.
"Senior, I feel like Beryl is about to be beaten to death by you guys?!"
"Purification recovery! Fight again!"
"Asshole! Go to hell! Scumbag!"
"You actually beat me after being cured?!"
The other side.
Okita Souji came to the people infected by Morse poison.
"I can't help it, even though I didn't intend to expose it..."
But now is not the time to hide it.
She knelt down and put her hands on a child.
Violet-like magical light overflowed from her palms.
Under the astonished gazes of Little Da Vinci and others, the child's wails quickly weakened, and the dark toxins on his body gradually melted away like the white snow in early spring.
"Okay, okay...thank you sister!"
"Leave quickly."
Okita Souji drove the child away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Blood mist spurted out, and the magic power in the blood summoned the misty giant beast!
It was a huge scorpion-tailed tiger. Its nearly three-story-tall body looked so oppressive that it almost broke the ceiling of the dungeon. Its whole body was wrapped in purple flames, and it looked very mysterious and unpredictable.
The scorpion-tailed tiger squatted there and released a large amount of purple flames from its body, spreading in all directions.
The strange thing is that the purple flame does not seem to have any temperature, and it even feels cool when covering the human body.
Under the continuous burning of the purple flames, the cursed poison on the refugees who were wailing on the ground quickly dissipated, and in less than half a minute, they completely disappeared.
