Chapter 2: The Massacre
update icon Updated at 2023/1/16 17:57:16

I couldn't care about the increasingly agitated shouts in the distance, I scrambled to lower my head to check.

Both arms and chest were surrounded by an unexplained black smoke, and the upper body seemed to be covered by black armor made of an unknown material that extended all the way down to the thighs, revealing only the upper part of the lower arms.

Below the legs were completely wrapped in even more intense, blindingly white black smoke, as if a black war dress, covering my legs, connected to what seemed like asphalt, but boiling black liquid.

The view extended into the distance, under the blue sky, the turquoise hills with thousands of peaks and valleys connected to the plains with rich blue grass. There are trees with red fruits and little-known silver flowers.

This is a wonderful place, but it is destroyed by a huge chasm spanning thousands of meters, from which a terrible black liquid constantly spills out, and the flowers and plants quickly wither and turn into black powder when they touch it.

And I am standing in the center of this chasm, on top of the boiling bubble of black slime.

There was no discomfort. Even ...... I might have been birthed from this terrible liquid.

This - what is this?

The mind was confused, and before I could sort out what my current situation was, the second round of fireballs had already come with an even more ear-piercing cracking sound.

BamBam----

"Ang--"

The pain instantly made me couldn't think and instinctively tried to avoid these dangerous fireballs.

Bending my knees, bowing, and jumping to the right.

The whistling wind swept through my ears, and by the time I reacted, I was already twenty to thirty meters away from where the fireballs had exploded.

Without time to be surprised, I immediately looked up in the direction where the fireball was ushered in, and about two or three hundred meters away from me, a legion of people in white and gold armor jumped into view.

The formation of the legion was neat and orderly, and it was estimated that there were as many as a thousand people. The style of the armor is solemn and sacred, like the ancient western paladins.

Behind the knights, there were two rows of people dressed in fire-red robes, resembling mages.

The men raised their mace or staffs, muttering words under their breath, and the air was filled with starbursts of fire, apparently already preparing for the third round of attacks.

In the front of the legion, there are three men riding on strange beasts. At a cursory glance, a knight with more splendid armor, a robed old man, and the remaining one, a young man wrapped in a white cloak and wearing silver light armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, seemed to look somewhat like a swordsman.

These three are about the leaders of the group.

Where is this? Who are they? The fireball just now, was it a spell?

Everything in front of me tells me that this can't be the world I live in, is it really a world of swords and magic?

But why are they attacking me? Although it doesn't seem like I've received substantial damage, the fireballs really hurt when they hit my body.

"[Abyssal Language] Why!" I shouted at them, but was shocked to find that what came out of my mouth was not the voice I was used to hearing in the past, but what sounded like ...... a strange metallic scraping feeling

The female voice?

The language was not Chinese either, it was a pronunciation I had never heard before, but I seemed to be able to form this obscure pronunciation into a language and understand its meaning quite fluently.

??????

"[Abyssal Language] What happens to me?!" Overwhelmed by a series of puzzling facts, I shouted at the human knights again.

No response.

The leading knight standing in the middle gave a command, and a third round of fireballs trailed a long tongue of fire toward me.

"Ang-!!!"

The black smoke was like an anaconda that swallowed the sky and swept ahead with a green-blue flash.

The fireball that came whistling in was swallowed clean the moment it touched the black smoke, surprisingly unable to cause even a hint of obstruction to it, and still hurtling towards the knights' direction.

Seeing this, the opposite knights seemed to be panicked.

The leading knight again shouted and tried to respond to the situation, but the black snake was so fast that it engulfed the left flank of the group in the blink of an eye.

The wailing stopped as soon as it started, and all those touched by the black smoke immediately had a white smoke and a sour "zipping" sound, and then they were eroded and turned into ashes along with their armor.

A greenish-white light smoke rose from where the knight died and was instantly sucked into the smoke, and then the black smoke returned to my body without further ado.

Hiss hiss--

The moment the black smoke returned, my body rose up with white mist. I immediately felt a surge of something in my body, a feeling somewhat similar to the one I had when I was in the black goo, but much more intense. The whole body was as excited as an orgasm, the excitement was uncontrollable, and my body couldn't stop shaking. I could clearly feel that all aspects of my body's functions had clearly risen to a level, and this kind of extreme feeling was unstoppable.

It was like I was on a stimulant, wanting to let off steam, let off steam! Vent! Wanting to destroy everything I could see in front of me!

"Ang-ooh!"

The exhilaration had just risen and was immediately doused by a fierce headache that faded away like a tidal wave as a massive fragment of information flooded into consciousness.

This ...... What is this? What have I done?

Ah - the head hurts ......

The tearing pain in my brain cleared my head a little and I realized what I had just done.

Did those people die? Did I kill someone?

No, I didn't do it, how could I have done such a thing!

"%$%$#$ ......" The knight leader on the other side was declaring loudly, still in unintelligible language.

Tormented by a headache, I couldn't concentrate, and I held my head in my hands, a beastly whisper escaping my mouth unconsciously as jumbled messages kept leaping into my head.

In a trance, I vaguely saw the old man on my right, dressed in a golden robe, holding the badge he wore on his chest, whispering softly while his body glowed with a golden light that was as dazzling as the sun and enveloped the army of knights in a flash.

The blinding light did not last long, and a faint golden film was added to the knights' bodies.

With a thunderous order from the leading knight a thousand knights rashing towards me like a burust of water with a loud passionate roaraccompanied by a new round of fire ball.

"[Abyssal Language] Why! Why are you attacking me--!"

Facing the rolling rain of fire and the tide of the army, pain, anger, fear, aggravation, and extreme confusion and incomprehension, the complex emotions of the heart were infinitely magnified and rushed to the mind.

"Ang-!!!"

The roar of anger shook the earth. I waving me arms to the rushing knights with black smoke becoming countless black snake. The smoke gathers on the top of the knights becoming a black flame smashing them.

"Boom...!"

A huge explosion exploded in the middle of the army tide, the black tongue of fire instantly engulfed countless knights and stirred up an even more blinding white light, rendering hundreds of meters around.

I was a little dazed, and my headache eased a little, yet the fact that hundreds of lives had been slaughtered again was too much to take in for a while.

The black smoke that scattered with the explosion still roamed the battlefield, taking several lives every second.

The surviving knights came at me even more frantically, their cries mixed with hysterical desperation as they drew closer to me. I even saw an emotion called hatred in their bloodshot eyes.

Why? Why do you hate me?

Did I do something wrong again?

"[Abyssal Language] No ...... It wasn't me, I didn't ...... You guys made the first move ...... I didn't want to kill you guys ......"

Just as I was overwhelmed and trying to escape, the black smoke returned again. I was immediately taken over by that violence and madness again, and my body trembled uncontrollably.

Ah - hahahahahahaha ...... How pleasant!

What gives, you weak ants, what gives you the right to hurt me indiscriminately!

"Ang-!!!"

I couldn't stop a long roar, and my body made a move before my consciousness, pulling a long black smoke tail like a cannonball and smashing towards the running enemy.

"Boom...!"

The limbs and broken arms were thrown up high the moment I hit the ground, they made a nice arc in the air and could no longer be called life before they fell. The strong smell of blood made me gag, and half of the knight's body fell to my eyes, and I saw fixed on his face, the last expression of horror.

"Ang-!!!" With a slap, half of the knight's body was slapped away, and I roared as black smoke burst from my body, and smoke snakes flew around my circumference, devouring the knights who rushed up to surround me.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that these knights, or rather, these humans, only barely reached the height of my thighs.

Huh, so I'm not one of them.

So what am I, a demon lord?

No, I'm ...... a terrifying monster.

Waving my arms, reaping, there was no more possibility of turning back the situation into a one-sided massacre.

Black snakes of smoke ravaged the battlefield, and green and white smoke of light continued to pour into my body. It didn't take long for a mountain of corpses to pile up beneath my feet, and the originally verdant field had long since ceased to be lush, tinged with a bright red color.

So disgusting.

So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting.

Stop it ......

Come on ! Stop

Stop killing ......

Suddenly, I felt a sinking in my body, followed by a wave of dizziness.

The robed old man in the distance clasped his hands in front of his chest, his body once again glowed with golden light, and there was an inviolability majesty in his eyes.

The next moment, I felt like I was being pressed by a huge stone, my body was unusually heavy, my movement instantly became sluggish, and even my breathing was a bit uncomfortable. I am dizzy and spit out black smoke

A golden light sprinkled down, and I looked up with difficulty and saw a huge golden bell hanging high above my head.
