As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

By the way, now is not the time to indulge in fighting.

Everyone, including Nia, was seriously injured and they couldn't hold off the wolf pack for long.

It's time for a quick fix.

Launching an attack on the Wolf King once again, Roy had less fighting spirit and more murderous intent. He was no longer ferocious, but his attack was more precise and refined.

The [Iron Blood] bloodline's abilities of [Not dying with bare hands] and [Weapon Projection] were brought to their full potential at this moment.

The sword blade met the wolf claw and repelled it, and the next second it turned into a battle axe to chop the shoulder blade. Before the wolf king could counterattack, Roy turned around and the weapon in his hand turned into a spear, piercing the opponent's chest while spinning.

The combo of attacks filled with corrosive demonic poison came down like a violent storm, reaping the wolf king's remaining strength and life.

As the wolf king cried out in pain, his posture became chaotic, and he was no longer able to fight back, the weapon in Roy's hand turned back into the original long sword and slashed it down with one blow.

【Eclipse】!

Along with the deep dragon roar, the roar of the Eclipse King resounded through the night sky again. The evil demonic poison corroded the high-level body that had been forged for hundreds of years and that even steel could not penetrate. This time, it completely penetrated the body of the Wolf King.

"As expected of Big Brother Sword Ghost!"

"Is this true? What kind of power is that?!"

Hex shouted excitedly, while Joe was shocked by the deep demonic poison.

The defeat of the wolf king also made the wolves lose their arrogance, and they whimpered and lost their fighting spirit.

Everyone felt relieved at having survived the disaster.

Only Nia was a little unable to react for a moment.

"It's... just like that, it's over?"

What else could it be? They weren't those cultists, so where did the second stage come from?

Catching the girl's complaints in the distance, Roy couldn't help but want to laugh.

But just as he was about to take a step towards Nia, he felt a piercing chill on the back of his neck.

He saw that everyone, including Nia, was staring behind him and shouting.

"careful!"

"It's not over yet!"

The moment Roy turned around, he was hit by something heavy.

Under the shocking force far exceeding that just now, Roy was instantly knocked back a hundred meters.

Just one strike caused the evil dragon's scales to slowly break.

Roy's expression finally became serious.

The Corrosion King's demonic poison was simply not something an ordinary high-level body could withstand. Yet, now, pierced by the corrosive sword light, the Wolf King rose again. The wound, once deep enough to see the bone, no longer flowed blood, but instead dripped a foul-smelling yellow-green pus. From the wound, countless vines, swaying like venomous snakes, sprouted.

The wolf king's eyes turned yellow-green and cloudy, and a beautiful and evil flower of corruption emerged from his mouth.

[Withering of All Things] A ceremony to awaken the evil god was being planned in the Forest of Ever Darkness, but the Wolf King who was supposed to live there had left his territory.

Is the power of the evil god so strong that it can corrupt and degenerate even mythical creatures?!

No wonder the Shadow Wolves appeared here, most likely to escape the threat of the evil god, but they didn’t realize that they had been infected as well!

Roy felt like cursing for a moment.

After all this fuss, it’s still the fault of these damn cultists!

Not just the Wolf King.

The bloodline pollution will spread from the high-ranking superiors downwards. All the shadow wolves will twitch, and foul-smelling rot will grow from their eyes, mouths, and ears.

The scene was so horrifying that all the adventurers' faces dropped, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Even when he had witnessed the cultists' methods during the crusade against the Cassandra family, Hex turned pale and was at a loss: "Is this hell?"

But just as the adventurers were terrified, thunder roared like a dragon's roar.

The overwhelming pressure and powerful lightning dispersed the evil aura emitted by the fallen monster.

"What are you afraid of?"

"If you are killed, you will die."

"If one sword doesn't kill him, use two. If two swords don't kill him, use ten."

The black-clad swordsman holding the Dragon Fang Blade swung it casually, and a dazzling sharp edge burst out.

He glanced back and calmly uttered the words that the elf girl had said to them.

"Are you scared at this level? Do you still have the nerve to call yourself an adventurer?"
