Chapter 129: As Precarious as a Pile of Eggs

The residents of Stone Creek Town, armed with various weapons, looked fervently at the old man as if he was the object of their faith. If a sorcerer apprentice had been present, they would have noticed a special pattern in their eyes.

"Sacrifice!"

"To the almighty Great Sky Black Demon!"

At the old man's command, the residents immediately echoed him, raising their longswords and other bladed weapons to strike at the magicalized wild beasts in front of them. These creatures, like puppets unaware of how to resist, were beheaded by the residents as easily as chopping carrots.

In an instant, the area was strewn with corpses and drenched in blood.

The blood was drawn towards the hillside, converging at the spot where the old man stood. Around him, runes outlined by the blood appeared, and a second later, flames ignited, setting the blood runes ablaze.

Under the firing flames, wisps of black smoke formed and drifted towards the Kanda magic stone mine.

"Sacrifice again."
