Chapter 119 Madness
The town of Ikham is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight.

The roar of the monster before it completely fell into the trap echoed for a long time in the desolate mountains.

From the explosions at the abandoned mine deep in the desolate mountains, the town's residents began to feel uneasy. This unease, which they had been harboring in their hearts, turned into fear after those pale-skinned, eerie figures flooded into the town.

At night, in the dark alleyways between the houses, white shadows, like ghosts, crashed against the doors of every house along the way.

boom……

boom…

Although they move slowly, they are tireless and seem to feel no pain. Their pale eyes seem to be able to detect all living things in the cold, dark night, and they keep knocking on the doors and windows of the houses where the miners live.

The people inside the house were silent with fear.

Pairs of terrified eyes hid behind the windowsills where the lights had been turned off, not even daring to make a sound from their noses, because shadowy figures were constantly moving back and forth outside the door, their heavy steps relentlessly searching for prey in the alleyway.

No one knows where these strange, ghostly figures came from.

For these miners, at this moment, all the terrifying rumors they had heard about the town of Ikham came flooding back to mind. The stories of ghosts in the desolate mountains and the rumors about the Delaman cannibals became the source of everyone's fear.

As the crashing sounds coming from the fragile door intensified, the oppressive atmosphere pushed everyone hiding inside to the brink of collapse.

Because they all have something to hide.

Worker disappearances are frequent in mining operations.

However, driven by the high rewards promised by Solomon Mining Company, the workers chose to remain silent, attributing the disappearance of their fellow workers in the wilderness to those people's "bad luck."

To keep receiving their wages, the work at the mine can't stop, so it's best if the missing miners are never found...

But now, those pale figures outside are like forgotten missing workers who have returned to claim the lives of these cold-blooded survivors.

……

What the people inside didn't know was that those missing miners had been used as fertilizer to build a mushroom farm deep in the wilderness, and they would never return.

The white ghostly figures standing in the alleyway now are the true natives of Ikham, a race that has inherited some kind of evil bloodline.

The oppressive atmosphere of terror in the town began to turn into chaos and noise when the door of one of the miners' houses was smashed.

One after another, window panes were smashed.

After witnessing firsthand the true face of the pale, white figure outside, the workers' mental state shattered like the shattered glass scattered on the ground.

Tearing, wailing, and all sorts of noise began to fill every corner of the town.

In their frantic escape, someone accidentally knocked over a kerosene lamp, and flames soon broke out throughout the town.

……

On the second floor of the law enforcement office, on one side of the main road in the center of the town.

Rebecca had just settled the unconscious Kay when she heard a commotion coming from the west.

She flipped from the balcony onto the tiled roof, from which she could clearly see the fires burning in the western part of the town and the white figures moving through the narrow alleys.

Her gaze grew serious, for she had yet to find Milo and Mogot.

The collapsed mine did not stop the huge, bizarre creature, nor did it stop the frail worshippers.

But what's incomprehensible is that they had been hiding underground for so long, so why did they suddenly swarm out and invade the town?

After only a few breaths of contemplation, Rebecca snapped out of her daze and realized with horror that the pale, ghostly figures had silently bypassed the complex alleyways and arrived around the main road.

A series of eerie white shadows were creeping across Ikham's main road toward the law enforcement office on the east side. Their target was Kai.

This is already obvious.

……

Before the withered arm of the first worshipper who climbed the steps in front of the law enforcement office could even touch the door, a sharp, gleaming combination blade pierced through his skull from top to bottom, penetrating from the crown of his head all the way to his jaw.

The eerie bluish-green light emanating from the worshipper's sunken eye sockets quickly dimmed.

Rebecca's tall figure leaped down from the roof, grasping the blade nailed to the worshipper's head before it fell, and easily pulled it back.

At this moment, dozens of worshippers stood densely packed in front of the law enforcement office, their eerie bluish-green eyes swaying from side to side as they moved.

As they approached the law enforcement office, the pilgrims seemed to smell their prey; their movements quickened, and the whispers from deep within their throats gradually turned into chilling roars.

Something seemed to be constantly urging and enraging them from the depths of those decaying souls, causing these already rotten remains to begin to descend into madness.

Veins began to bulge beneath the worshippers' dry skin, their limbs began to twitch unnaturally, and their joints emitted eerie sounds...

"what!!!"

Whoosh!
Amidst the chaotic throng of worshippers, someone suddenly accelerated and charged towards Rebecca!

This time, its speed was so fast that it startled Rebecca.

boom! ! !
In the blink of an eye, Rebecca completed a series of actions, drawing her gun and firing.

The bullet ripped open the worshipper's skull, but it did not stop its forward momentum.

Rebecca's combination blade immediately met the attack.

Two figures passed each other.

……

The combined blades severed the worshipper's arms.

It also stopped the other party's high-speed forward charge. The worshipper's two forearms flew more than ten meters away, but it only staggered a few times. In a swaying state, it actually stood up again and suddenly turned around!

The exposed radius and ulna on the severed forearm became its weapons, and the sharp ends of the broken bones were already stained with blood.

In the instant of their rapid collision, the broken bone had already cut a wound on Rebecca's body.

Rebecca stared grimly at the convulsing monster before her. Her trench coat was torn open, and blood trickled down her arm and onto the back of her hand, seeping between her fingers.

She couldn't understand why those incredibly weak creatures from the underground caves had become so terrifying once they reached the surface.

She had never encountered such a bizarre and terrifying scene since she joined the law enforcement system.

The sight of a strange man with his hands severed, using the exposed bones from his severed arms as weapons, was beyond Rebecca's comprehension.

But she had no way out; Kay was lying in the house behind her…

……

the other side.

Deep in the desolate mountains.

Milo, who should have rushed to the town immediately, appeared silently next to the collapsed mining site.
