The person presenting the medal to them is General Case, and those soldiers even shook hands with General Case. Just by looking at their excited expressions, Arthur could guess that they might not even want to wash their hands when they return. These soldiers, after receiving their awards, returned to their positions.Finally, it was Arthur's turn. He had made the most significant contribution this time, but due to the deeply hidden internal matters, it was challenging to explain the mysteries of the Minji Market. So, his merit was briefly summarized to sound ordinary.General Case pinned the medal to Arthur's chest and said, "You won't be dissatisfied that your contributions aren't fully acknowledged, will you?"Upon hearing this, Arthur smiled and replied calmly, "General, you're overthinking it. If I were dissatisfied, how could I stay quiet?"Case felt a little speechless when he heard that, but Arthur didn't appear to be joking. Case believed that Arthur wouldn't be so obedi

Arthur furrowed his brow, looking at Curtis lying on the bed, his body now enveloped by dark, twisted tendrils. These tendrils clung to his body, resembling venomous snakes slithering over him. As if hearing the door open, the cracks on his face twitched slightly, as if peering towards Arthur and Case.A raspy, almost inaudible voice echoed, akin to the desperate cry of some lost spirit: "Flesh... Flesh... I want your flesh, Asta. Give me your flesh..."With those words, his colossal body began to twitch. He reached down to the floor, seemingly exerting minimal effort, yet the ground trembled as if it might collapse at any moment. Curtis opened his mouth wide, and from within, a black liquid oozed out, which seeped onto the floor and began to corrode it slowly. The corrosion was sluggish, but it made a hissing sound, sending shivers down one's spine.Arthur furrowed his brow and spoke solemnly, "He's completely lost his consciousness. Right now, he's nothing more than a mindless

Outside, as soon as Case's command echoed, the others quickly ran to evacuate the servants in the castle. Michael was left behind, momentarily bewildered. He turned to look at the door, from the inside of which came the sounds of fierce fighting.At this very moment, a black arrow suddenly pierced through the door and melted into water. A sizzling sound echoed, and the door immediately corroded. Michael muttered, "..."He decided to follow Case's subordinates, as Arthur would surely want him to do the same. The servants were quickly loaded onto vehicles and taken out of the estate. At the same time, the sky was filled with black crows. The crows cawed loudly and then flew towards them. Their claws and beaks were extremely sharp, and a slight scratch would make a fresh blood spurt. Furthermore, the scratches they caused even began to turn black, transmitting a lingering pain. Michael's hands were scratched in several places in just an instant, causing excruciating pain. He co

Even though Arthur remained silent, General Case could still sense something, and with Arthur's calm demeanor, he felt a deep respect for him.He nodded and said, "Not many are returning to the city of Eldora with me, and most of them are young soldiers, fearing that they may not be able to deal with a demon."In the end, he had never expected a demon to be awakened in the city of Eldora. Moreover, the demon was a dark and powerful creature. Although the awakening process was genuinely challenging, the demon's strength was undeniable.Demons were born with darkness and malevolence within humans, and as long as humanity existed, demons would never die. Furthermore, they would grow stronger with the world's fluctuations.However, Case was not daunted by this.He reached behind and drew his sword from invisible space. The massive sword stopped in front of him, and he said in a low voice, "But with just you and me, we can deal with that demon."At most, they would die, but Case had ne

Asta's situation isn't any better than Ethan's. He was not originally a mage but merely a devout follower granted the ability to borrow the power of the dark spirits. He can control low-level dark creatures, like black crows, for example. However, these black crows couldn't be of any use at the moment since, as soon as they cried out, Skyler exhaled a mist that had a subtle green tint. These crows instantly froze, falling to the ground and unable to move. Asta also noticed that the bodies of these crows seemed to become desiccated as if all their energy had been drained.On their faces, there was an extreme alertness. Arthur's cats were indeed too peculiar! Moreover, Ethan was also mistaken; whose pet cats look like this? This was a group of monsters!Lumie, who was some distance away, had also noticed this. She furrowed her brow, and even though she could be called a dark spirit, she was just an embodiment of a dark spirit, a source of energy with the mission of awakening he
