Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 200: Chapter 141: All-in

Norton looked in shock at the ground covered with corpses in front of him.

As the only Knight under the Baron’s command, he was in charge of the entire town’s security and defense, making him the second in command in a true sense.

But in the sixty years he had served the Baron, he had never seen such a horrifying sight.

Dried blood stained the streets dark red, with pieces of flesh stuck to the walls, dismembered bodies everywhere, and numerous monsters lurking in the city, like venomous snakes ready to devour people!

”What on earth happened here...”

Before arriving, he had already heard reports from his subordinates, originally assuming it was just a crazed fool setting fire to a warehouse containing Paradise Grass.

Although this was a huge loss, for Norton it wasn’t too difficult a problem to handle.

Find the culprit, hang them in the most conspicuous spot in town and torture them for three days and nights to ensure every gambler could see, then execute them in the most brutal way possible. This would be enough to instill a basic fear of death even in those who had lost their minds.

Therefore, after ordering the Guard Team to wear isolation masks, he brought four Knights and his men, rushing to this place.

But the scene before him made him realize things weren’t that simple!

This was a planned attack targeting the city!

”Hmph, such audacity! Daring to play tricks under the gaze of the Gambling God?”

Norton snorted coldly, squinting his eyes, carefully observing the silhouettes hidden in the red mist.

”The enemy should mainly consist of Warrior Tier, but there are many of them, about the same number as my Guard Team.”

”There are also a few Fierce Tier....”

”But it seems these wandering guys aren’t their leaders.”

Pausing for a moment, Norton turned to the Notary beside him, asking, ”Can you take action?”

The Notary nodded mechanically, ”My duty is to maintain the fairness of the gamble. Any attack means outside of gambling should be punished by the Gambling God.”

Hearing this, Norton couldn’t help but feel relieved.

In a world that believed in the Gambling God, to ensure the utmost fairness of the gambling process, each Notary was immensely powerful, far exceeding the gamblers themselves.

A Knight gambler’s Notary had strength comparable to a General Tier! Their Constitution exceeded a thousand!

This level of strength was astounding no matter where you placed them, having a Notary take action was bound to handle the invaders with ease.

With that, Norton felt reassured, he turned back and shouted to his subordinates, ”Everyone, prepare for battle! Once we repel the invaders, each of you will be rewarded with three pounds of Paradise Grass! For every Warrior Tier you defeat, you get an extra pound! If you don’t want the Grass, it can be exchanged for Points!”

The Paradise Grass was self-explanatory, and the Points could be used to exchange for various Equipment, as well as qualifications to become High Tier gamblers, making them extremely valuable, which immediately excited the members of the Guard Team.

With Norton leading the charge, the group of warriors surged into the town, having been working together for long, they naturally formed combat groups, effortlessly eliminating the outermost monsters, taking down more than a dozen in the blink of an eye.

”Seems this invader wasn’t as formidable as I imagined.” This thought flashed through Norton’s mind.

However, just as this thought arose, a loud noise suddenly came from the center of the town!

Norton’s heart tightened, looking towards the source, a gigantic creature seemed to emerge from the ground and extend into the sky amidst the hazy red mist.

”What’s that?” Norton squinted his eyes, just about to head over and investigate when suddenly a scream came from beside him!

He saw one of his Warrior Tier Dragon-man Warriors suddenly knocked to the ground by a ferocious monster; strangely, the Dragon-man Warrior had clearly slashed his blade into the monster’s body, yet the monster didn’t lose its fighting ability like others before, instead turning around and biting the Dragon-man Warrior’s neck!

Just as others wanted to help, a large number of monsters suddenly rushed out from the red mist, like a well-trained army, directly attacking their formation!

This unexpected assault threw the members of the Guard Team into a panic.

”Knight! The monsters from the entire town are converging on us!”

”And, and damn it, why won’t they die!”

Amidst the terrifying cries of his people, Norton was shocked to find that these monsters had somehow been cloaked in a dense red glow, and whenever his teammates inflicted damage, the glow quickly transformed into powerful Life Energy, healing their wounds!

Especially since these monsters possessed a strange ability to transform from corporeal to Soul Body, making it difficult even for the Fierce Tier team leader to kill them in a short time!

A sense of dread filled Norton’s heart, but being at the peak of Fierce Tier, a Knight gambler blessed by the Gambling God, he was extremely confident in himself, identifying the core of the problem in an instant!

”The source of that bloodlight energy is in the town center, from that suddenly risen giant object!”

”It may be a special artifact, forming some sort of recovery Domain.”

”Capture the leader, capture the king first, if I destroy that giant object, these remaining monsters won’t be a match for the Guard Team!”

With a General Tier Notary around, he was confident that the hidden Leader wouldn’t be a match for him!

With this in mind, Norton didn’t hesitate, dashing rapidly towards the town center, his Notary following closely behind.
