Chapter 38: Beasts of the Night Anti took Safin's body back to his cave, dug out a deeper corner, and buried him sorting out Safin's things, Anti picked up the sack that Safin always kept at hand and came to the entrance of the cave. He swung the hammer and smashed the entrance of the cave, burying it forever, then turned and left without looking back. …… Anti walked out of the mine through the main path, and swaggered down the mountain road back to the town. Although the stranger almost gave him a brain-burn, after experiencing that powerful synaesthesia and performing some miracles that he had not yet mastered with that powerful posture, some of the experience still remained even after he returned to his human body. The synesthesia, which had originally made no progress, has now extended to the right hand. Powerful forces make people nostalgic, but the chaotic mind in the state of being a stranger and the gradually stripped away self-awareness are enough to discourage people. Anti slowly dug Safin's pendant out of his stomach and hung it around his neck to prevent it from being lost. Then he walked towards the cathedral in the center of the town with a clear goal in mind. As you get closer to the center of town, the number of powerful cursed entities increases significantly. But they didn't dare to approach Anti anymore.
Especially the spider monster with eyes. Even though it stared at Anti with all its eyes, it did not have the courage to use its ability to block inspiration. Anti's footsteps were not very strong, and they made light footsteps on the cobblestone road. But before he knew it, a group of cursed bodies followed him. On the way, he finally met a team of believers and several Night Chaser knights who were on guard. When they saw Anti, they were all ready to hunt. Apparently, they had already heard the news that the current owner of the Night Eyes was in town. However, when they saw the large group of cursed bodies following Anti, they were all stunned. Anti raised his hand: "Everyone, have fun." Then he snapped his fingers lightly. "Hiss—!" "Ah-" "Ugh!" The monster behind him seemed to have triggered a switch, and it roared and charged towards the cathedral which was not far away. The believers fought back hastily in panic, but were soon overwhelmed by the huge group of cursed bodies. The Night Chaser Knight was able to deal with it calmly, but he was also exhausted. Suddenly, a red vortex sucked in a knight who was in a stalemate with the cursed body. After Anti released the Qi, he casually took two steps to the side. The knight who had just prepared to respond while being attracted was greeted not by Anti's attack, but by the familiar dark blue sword energy! Swish! A knight was cut in half, and his body was quickly eaten by the cursed creature. Anti patted the cursed knight behind him on the shoulder, then continued walking forward.
Such a loud noise undoubtedly attracted the attention of the church. Unless the source of the curse deliberately guides them, the cursed entities will not gather in large numbers or even launch a general attack with a clear goal in mind. The church paid no attention to the cursed bodies that were produced in the town as a result of their rituals. but now…… The source of the curse is Antioch. Although Anti doesn't understand anything, these cursed bodies are indeed attracted to him and will not attack him, and even obey his instructions to a certain extent. And if he just pointed at any of these cultists, the cursed body would quickly turn its attention to the target he was pointing at. The battle between the cursed beings and the church created a huge noise, which attracted more cursed beings to join the battle. In this way, he just took a walk and waved his hand, which triggered a fight in the village between the church and the cursed body in the town. The cursed beings and the church people were fighting hard, and Anti followed the trend and walked on the street. He passed by a house with a sack on his back and one hand on his waist, and went inside to look around and search through the boxes and cabinets. A group of cursed bodies nearby pounced on a believer, broke through the wall and made a lot of noise. Anti predicted it in advance, casually stepped aside, ignored the noise, and continued shopping. I found a wooden barrel on the road with clean-looking water in it, so I lit it, boiled it, and started drinking it. After drinking, he found some dried meat slices on the second floor of a shop. His sense of smell told him that they were fresh and edible, so he picked them up to fill his stomach. After a busy day, he was thirsty and hungry. He searched for supplies along the way to replenish the day's consumption. Unconsciously, Anti walked to the courtyard gate of the cathedral in the center of the town. The cursed body broke open the big iron gate, and a team of Night Chaser Knights and many believers inside were already sweating profusely. Stepping on a bunch of corpses, Anti walked into the church. Inside, the one who had set up a throne for himself and sat at the head was the old priest who had been chasing Antiochus for a while. The blood of the eyeless corpses piled up around the throne had not yet dried, and some of the corpses had marks of being bitten and scratched. "It's so noisy..." The old priest held his forehead with his hand, and seemed to be sleeping, with sleepy eyes. But when he opened his eyes, his sharp, beast-like vertical pupils indicated that his state was obviously not as calm as his appearance. The cursed body seemed to have finally encountered something it feared, and did not dare to follow Anti into the church. Boom! The church door was closed, and another team of Night Chaser Knights surrounded Antio. The old priest slowly stood up from his chair, his steps a little unsteady. It might be inconvenient for him to walk without the support of the scepter in his hand. "You have already escaped once, but you return to us in such a state. It's really ironic... Or maybe it's the guidance of fate... Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. This town is like this, our church is like this, and so are you." The old priest said in a hoarse voice. "You're right." Anti tilted his head and put down the sack in his hand. Then he took the last piece of meat in his hand into his mouth. His body suddenly swelled up like a beast, and he opened his bloody mouth and swallowed the large piece of meat directly. The Night Chaser Knights immediately retreated cautiously. Then they saw the beast's claws in front of them flash with a cold light and suddenly pierce into the back of their neck.
stab- The flesh and blood were torn apart, and the black and gray hilt appeared first, followed by the dark blue sword body, until finally the blade, with flesh threads hanging on it, was completely pulled out of the flesh and blood. All the knights felt a sense of suffocation, and the faint blue light reflected their admiration, surprise, and fear. The beast stood up, holding the sword in both hands and placing it in front of the left half of its face. Chill! In an instant, the thirty-four eyes on the sword opened one after another, making the dark blue of the sword even deeper. Hunting ritual. "Now, lambs, begin to pray." The original human voice and the rough and unclear sound like a beast overlapped and came out of the monster's mouth. The old priest looked even more confused, but he still waved his hand. The Night Chaser Knights woke up from their worship, then all clenched their swords, painted their living eyeballs, and released the unseen blades! A series of faint blue lights lit up, and then several arc-shaped sword energies flew towards Anti from all directions. But compared with the Night Hunting Greatsword in Anti's hand, these unknown blades are undoubtedly like fireflies to the bright moon. Anti held the sword in one claw, and the back of the claw flashed the totem of hunting miracles - an eye with a pupil like a whirlpool torn by the claws of a wild beast. With a sweeping motion, the dark blue light transformed into a sharp circular sword energy that spread out in all directions, instantly covering the light of the Unseen Blade and engulfing the Night Chaser Knight mercilessly. Bang! The shattered pieces of flesh blossomed into bloody flowers in the church. The beast stood on two feet, one paw supporting its upper body, and the other paw holding a greatsword as it slowly approached the old priest. The old priest trembled. It wasn't fear, it was excitement. His face became even more blurred, his body also showed deformed changes, and the hair on his body grew uncontrollably. All the efforts he had made over the years to perfectly accommodate the miracle of the wandering gods were completely out of control at this moment. Man is about to degenerate into a beast in the process of chasing the night. This process is irreversible. But the old priest accepted it with pleasure. Even though the beast he transformed into was thinner and weaker than the black and white beast in front of him, he had made his own choice and walked his own path. "Go on, pray." Looking at this scene, the beast Anti remained expressionless, and the mixed and overlapping sounds once again came out from between its sharp teeth, echoing in the church and taking a long time to dissipate.
