“Gaaaah…!”
“Uwaaaah…!”
Within the black fog-like evil aura, accompanied by these frantic roars, several dark figures lunging towards Shien revealed their true forms.
“Humans?”
Shien was stunned when he saw the figures clearly.
The true identities of the dark figures were humans.
Among them were elves, beastmen, and even dwarves. They looked no different from ordinary humans, but they seemed to be in a frenzied state, their eyes bloodshot, their faces狰狞, drool dripping from their mouths. It was clear they had completely lost their minds.
But what surprised Shien wasn’t that these people had lost their minds, but their attire, which was different from the people of this era.
They were dressed in animal hides and furs, and their weapons were mostly stone tools. They looked more like ancient barbarians than people of this era.
“You…”
Shien wanted to say something, but he was met with the barbarians’ frenzied attacks.
They were wild and violent, swinging their weapons at Shien without hesitation, attacking relentlessly.
And some of the barbarians without weapons directly pounced on Shien’s limbs, biting like wild beasts, desperate and ferocious.
“[Bestow: Explosion].”
Shien had no choice but to counterattack, casting magic on the surrounding air.
“Boom—!”
With an explosive sound, a shockwave erupted from Shien’s surroundings, blasting the barbarians away.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” …
The barbarians were sent flying, falling to the ground and rolling several times.
Some of them landed awkwardly, their bones cracking as they twisted, their bodies covered in blood.
However…
“Gaaaah…!”
“Uwaaaah…!”
The next second, these barbarians, completely ignoring their injuries as if they couldn’t feel pain, immediately got up and lunged at Shien again.
“What?”
Shien was taken aback, but he didn’t dare to slow down. Using the [Evasion] skill, he moved like the wind, dodging the barbarians’ attacks.
Not only that, but Shien also used the [Close-Range Evasion] skill to quickly move behind several barbarians, delivering swift chops to the back of their necks.
To Shien’s surprise, even though they were hit, these barbarians didn’t lose consciousness and continued to roar and attack him.
“…Have they completely lost their minds?”
Shien tried several more times to subdue or knock out these barbarians, but it was all in vain.
These barbarians were like the most ferocious beasts, disregarding their own safety and unable to feel pain, relentlessly attacking Shien without stopping.
Shien even cast the “Immobilize” Bestowal Magic on a barbarian. After struggling to no avail, the barbarian actually chopped off his own feet and crawled towards Shien with his bloody body.
Seeing this, Shien understood that these barbarians were beyond saving.
“In that case, I’ll let you find peace.”
Shien’s figure flashed, moving at an incredible speed, appearing in front of a barbarian.
“Swish!”
The Holy Sword sliced through the air, cutting the barbarian in half.
Blood splattered into the air and onto the ground, forming a pool of blood.
The barbarian collapsed in the pool of blood, twitching a few times before finally stopping moving.
“Gaaaah…!”
“Uwaaaah…!”
The other barbarians, seeing their companion killed, weren’t afraid but instead became even more ferocious, attacking even more frantically.
“Find peace!”
Shien no longer showed mercy. His figure moved swiftly, the Holy Sword in his hand drawing elegant arcs as he slashed at the barbarians.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” …
For a moment, sword light flashed, and blood splattered.
Shien personally ended the lives of the barbarians one by one, leaving them lying in pools of blood, turning into corpses.
Looking at the barbarians scattered on the ground, Shien frowned, holding the blood-stained Holy Sword.
“Where did these barbarians come from?”
Were they locals?
