Chapter XXIX The Haze of Neopolis

The sealed object has actually been activated. I thought it would be activated when the crowd gathered at the memorial site, but I didn't expect that the cultists would take the first step. And the scope of influence was so large, what a terrifying thing it is...

Griffith was swaying on his horse, powerlessness and despair making his mind go blank.

Local residents and tourists are still unaware of this. No matter the rapid and shrill sound of the trumpet or the falling ashes from the sky, only extraordinary people can listen and watch.

Unable to understand this scene, Amber held her head and almost rolled off the military horse.



"The prologue has begun..." On a hill overlooking Hepu Town, a thin painter who once had an acquaintance with Griffith was painting the scroll in front of him carelessly.

Crazy towns, twisted monsters, and a group of figures fighting next to an altar-like object at the foot of the mountain.

"Did you create this vision?" Medicius asked respectfully from the side, "Your power is unimaginably powerful!"

"No, this is the power of the sealed object," the painter shook his head, "I just drew the scene that appeared in my mind. I can't stop it or change it. This feeling is very bad."

"I understand, Mr. Madman, then we will act according to the future you drew," Medicius's expression became more and more respectful, he slowly stepped back, turned around and said to the people around him, "Everyone, it is 10 a.m.

:15, Soon, the future predicted by the Creator will arrive, take the confinement crystal, and let's go find the traces of the Queen."

After Medicius withdrew, several followers around him also bowed and left. Only Anjiao, who had a calm and resolute temperament, couldn't help but look at the painter's paintings again.

On the scroll with the calm and peaceful Hepu Town as the center, black swirl-like lines are growing and spreading, with countless black faces and blood-colored pupils twisting in indescribable gestures.

In the corner of the scroll, there seems to be a white, clear figure being surrounded by a whirlpool of pain and terror...

Seeing this chaotic painting made the heavily armed Reef frightened. He hurriedly closed his eyes, turned around and ran away.

"Hey~ don't you plan to see me finish painting before leaving?" The painter's eyes trembled slightly, and he said softly in a decadent and bleak tone, "Why don't you be mentally prepared to see your own end?"



"Amber, go back to the Church of Holy Grace! Activate all available powers!" Griffith shook the blonde girl's shoulders, gave her the authorization from the former enemy committee, and shouted almost at the top of his lungs, "The cultists'

The sealed object has been activated, so stop the memorial ceremony immediately! If the citizens don’t listen, set up a trebuchet and shoot into the open space outside the memorial ceremony to disperse them!"

"Okay, okay, I've recovered! Stop shaking!" Amber grabbed Griffith's arm and shouted, "What about you? Where are you going?"

"I'll go find Elodie and take her to the Holy Grace Church for refuge." After making sure that the girl listened to his words, Griffith turned around and whipped the horse, "We'll meet at the entrance of Cangyue Mountain! Drive!"

The apprentice knight clamped his legs together, and the horse galloped like a gale, carrying the rider on its back and galloping towards the villa on the hillside by the sea.

Not even a soul was seen along the way. Griffith quickly crossed the flat, clean cobblestone road and arrived at the residence of Dr. Zion's family.

It must be okay! Griffith felt so nervous that he even began to hallucinate, as if he had entered the living room, where Elodie was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, drinking a coconut, and the unshaven doctor was writing a report.

"Doctor, Elodie!" Griffith shouted as he rushed into the villa.

The empty living room responded to him with silence.

Griffith was even more uneasy. He held the sword in his hand, and with the ice energy swirling around him, he rushed up to the second floor like a gust of wind, only to find that there was still no one there. There were several skirts on Elodie's bed.

Griffith's mind went blank for a while, and he rushed downstairs and opened the door of the laboratory.

Dr. Zion's daily busy laboratory is in a mess. The test tubes and petri dishes that used to be full have been emptied and scattered on the ground. The precious books and notes are piled in the sink, and they have been burned to the point where only a pile is left.

ash.

Several clay pots were rolling around on the ground...the orchids grown in the pots for testing had withered, and powdery dead branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground.

In a conspicuous place on the desk, there is a notebook with a line of words written in wet ink on the cover of the notebook.

"Drug Experiment Records and Final Treatment Plan".

"Griffith, the situation has reached an irreversible point.

"Although you are in an urgent mood, please read my notes carefully. I rarely keep a diary, so the content is not long. The notebook will be burned within fifteen minutes after you read it.

"I am extremely guilty and sad, but reality forces me to take immediate action."

“March 15, 1441,

"Elodi's condition is showing signs of deterioration. Her body is getting weaker. Treatments and prayers are of no use. We don't even know the cause. I can no longer continue my work at Homemon Watts and I have reached out to Tabery.

Principal En submitted his resignation, but has not yet received approval.

"I suspect this is related to the legendary and mysterious Neopolis syndrome, but there is a lack of research data and evidence."

"April 1, 1441,

"The reply from Neopolis has come, and the results are disappointing. Neopolis Syndrome is too ancient, and the existing records are almost mythical, fragmented and worthless."

"June 6, 1441,

"A friend of mine who was studying at Homemonworth came to visit me from the southern continent. I was surprised that there was a fierce battle going on there, and I didn't know how he crossed the sea area.

"He described to me a magical lost world that has no trace in any literature. In a huge basin and a hot and humid forest, there are ancient troll ruins. There are many huge creatures living in the forest.

It's like the descendants of the legendary dragon, ruling that world together with the strange and ferocious giant insects.

"I was originally not interested in his story. Elodie's treatment was the only thing I cared about. However, a specimen he took out quickly changed my view.

"The thing looked like dry stems and leaves of a plant, or a small section of octopus tentacles. He mysteriously told me that this thing has extraordinary vitality and is a ladder to eternal life.

"The strange thing is that I couldn't remember his name after he left, and his image only left a vague shadow in my mind. But I clearly remember what he said, and the specimen was also left in my laboratory.

inside."

“June 11, 1441,

"The specimen actually showed signs of life. I thought it had completely withered. But as long as it comes into contact with the nutrient solution, its sliced ​​tissues will become alive.

"It's even trying to break through the wall of the petri dish. I have to tighten the seal."

"September 16, 1441,

"I have conducted detailed research during this period, and I can't remember when it started. When I came back to my senses, the research materials were already piled up in my warehouse in Laboratory 13 of Homemon Watts. If I let you

The principal knew that I had taken up so many supplies without reporting them, and I would definitely be expelled.

"I didn't want to do it at first. Elodie's condition has reached its final stage, and this specimen and my experiment are the only hope.

"September 27, 1441,

"The animal testing went very well. I suspect that the specimens contain unknown extraordinary properties. Even animals treated with the test drugs can quickly heal injuries and diseases, replacing dead parts with new organs and tissues, even if they are near death.

"Some experimental subjects have developed rare mutations, and their organs and limbs have become astonishingly active. Even cutting off their heads and destroying their hearts cannot completely kill them.

"The experimental subjects will have bloodthirsty impulses, but this can be easily solved. I suppressed them using the same method I used to deal with naturalized vampires, and the experiment was extremely successful. I am really a genius.

"I have no time to wait. Although no one understands the cause of Elodie's illness, as long as we can provide new vitality and metabolism to her declining body, the problem will be solved. Her illness is too special, and I have no time to find a solution."

Without others to test it with, I have no choice.

"Test animals need to be disposed of."

"October 3, 1441,

"I succeeded!"

"October 5, 1441,

"All this is so amazing. Elodie has completely regained her vitality, and is healthier and more beautiful than before! I can even detect that her spiritual energy is awakening and surging, and she will grow into an amazing extraordinary person.

"I want to take her away from Homemonworth. This old stubborn Tiberion will take my little angel away."

Griffith silently flipped through the short notes. There were no new records after October 5th, only a paragraph by Dr. Zion, which looked like he had just written it.

"Griffith, for some time now, I have always had some unfounded premonition that I will lose my Elodie, and it will be irresistible. I told my sister this worry, hoping that through her I would

Knight Brandon asked for help. They carefully studied my concerns, but were unable to do anything. The kingdom ordered them to move to a new territory in the south.

"Before leaving, Shivros came to visit me and conveyed my sister's opinion. They had a premonition that some kind of danger was coming. If an unforeseen situation occurs, I can ask you for help.

"Just now, I noticed that some kind of terrible sealed object was activated, and all my samples fell into uncontrollable madness at the same time.

"Then, my nightmare became a reality. Elodie was possessed by something terrible and left me unstoppably. I am not a coward, nor am I a weakling, but in

In front of that terrifying existence, I crawled on the ground like an insect.

"I destroyed the experimental records. This terrible property cannot be spread. I must leave and find a way to suppress this madness. I cannot be officially imprisoned.

"Please protect Elodie and seek support from Miss Alandel's family."



After parting ways with Griffith, Amber quickly rushed to the Holy Grace Church to warn, and then rushed to the scene of Hanami's memorial service to provide support. If something happened there, she could act immediately.

There are very few people in Hepu Town, which is usually very peaceful. After returning from the city, we went to Sheng'en Church again. It's almost noon now, and the residents are either going to the memorial site to set up stalls or to have fun there.

Just when the situation was so urgent, Amber unfortunately lost her way. She couldn't even find a patrolman on the empty streets. She could only head towards Cangyue Mountain.

She turned a corner and suddenly smelled a strange smell of blood.

Amber walked around vigilantly and came to the door of a private house. There, the wooden door of the small courtyard was smashed open, and several white-feathered chickens circled around the door and the street in fear. From time to time, they looked at their own chickens in the yard.

The chicken coop took a few steps away in fear, as if there was a terrible beast squatting there.

Amber rushed in fearlessly. No matter it was the beast or the cultist, no one could stop the thunder and lightning and the storm god's choice.

In the small yard, chicken feathers, scraps of meat and blood were scattered all over the floor, all the way to the chicken coop. Outside the chicken coop, there was a strange rooster.

Amber glanced carefully and found that the rooster's neck, head, and body had shriveled up unnaturally, shrinking into a small ball like an orange that had been left to dry in the cupboard. Although the rooster's body had been torn and chewed,

, too little blood stains...

Amber's blue eyes sparkled, and her usual lively and sexy temperament disappeared, replaced by the repressed and cold temperament in the distance on the sea before the storm came. Her long golden hair floated in the air, and blue arcs of electricity were in the air.

burst.

She cast her gaze towards the messy chicken coop and took a step forward. The moment her boots landed, the air rippled, as if a storm was about to come.

There were sobs coming from the front...

A girl with a charming and familiar back view is kneeling in the chicken coop. Her long hair is tied into a long ponytail and she is wearing a close-fitting white dress. She is kneeling in the dirty chicken coop, with bloody chicken feathers on her body. The girl

Holding something in his hands, he sobbed and made a tearing sound like a beast.

"Elodie? Is it you?" Amber was stunned for a moment, and countless hypotheses flashed through her mind. The most likely one made her shudder.

The biting sound suddenly stopped, and the girl slowly turned her head. Her formerly beautiful and smart eyes were filled with scarlet light and terrifying madness like a beast.

Amber subconsciously raised her hand to block. Before she could see the situation clearly, there was a loud bang on the adamantine gauntlet. Then, a series of combo attacks came like lightning and exploded on the solid gauntlet.

Roads of fire.

"Bang!"

Amber jumped back, broke through the wooden fence of the yard, came to the street, and distanced herself from the enemy in front of her.

A cloud of blood mist followed, and Amber quickly raised her knees to block it, and the heavy blow knocked her back several yards.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." A girl in a white dress emerged from the blood mist, twitching and curled up in front of Amber.

The Elodie she was familiar with has turned into something unfamiliar to her.

The girl blooming like a flower is shrouded in a distant and ancient aura, and endless terrifying power is spreading out from her body. Around her, flowers, grass, white-feathered chickens and insects are growing and twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

, and then instantly withered into fragments blown away by the wind.

The arc of electricity whirling and roaring around Amber dissipated. She felt that her power was greatly suppressed, and every move she made was extremely difficult.

"Kill me, quickly!" Elodie said in great pain, "Please, before it's too late! I can't suppress it."
