Under the control of Ancient Demon King Tinas’s demonic soul, the graveyard at the northwest side of this town finally stirred. A large number of the long-buried deceased broke out from their coffins. Ignoring the bright sunlight, they advanced towards Antaur Town. This scene was very strange, resembling the outbreak of a biochemical crisis.
This graveyard was over two hundred years old. In accordance with common sense, they should have already turned into dust. However, when the Human Race had evacuated the Needham Plains long ago, the priest of Light Church hadn’t examined this remote graveyard, so a certain terrifying existence hiding here was never discovered.
Ancient Demon King Tinashad used her dark energy to awaken the Undead in this graveyard and teach Baron Thomas a lesson. Originally, she had thought that she would only summon a dozen or so Undead due to a dearth of corpses. However, after the summoning, Tinas discovered that the number of corpses in this graveyard far exceeded her imagination. Over a hundred corpses had already emerged, and more corpses were pouring out. They inexhaustibly flowed from the bottomless tomb.
“Eh, I seem to have summoned a bit too many. If by chance the situation spirals out of control, Lord Clyde will be angry.”
Tinas hovered outside that tomb and checked the situation. At the periphery of the tomb, she sensed a dense, dark aura mixed with a very vicious curse. Because Tinas was an Ancient Demon King, she could ignore these dark curses, so she didn’t pay much attention to the tomb. Her usual nature was quite careless, so she simply adopted a crude method to fix this problem. She stopped her dark summoning and used some boulders to block the tomb before leaving.
Tinas didn’t enter the tomb, so she didn’t discover the huge underground mausoleum in the depths of this tomb. After receiving a summoning powered by an Ancient Demon King’s dark energy, the master of this mausoleum had almost completely risen from a marble coffin locked with shackles. The joints of this coffin had split open, yet because Tinas had stopped midway, the resurrection of that fellow was slowed, and its movements resembled slow-motion replays of movies.
Now, Antaur Town was in chaos. A large number of Undead swarmed from the graveyard and fought against the Baron’s army. Fortunately, it was now daytime, and these undeads were low level. In addition, Ancient Demon King Tinas, who had resurrected them, was only a demonic soul; her energy was no match for Ancient Demon King Andrisno’s. Moreover, she had forcibly stopped the ritual midway. As a result, the combat power of these Undead was greatly weakened, so the human army was able to barely suppress them by relying on the advantageous environmental suppression.
After suppressing the chaotic situation, the troops under Baron Thomas had already lost track of Clyde and Miss Yani. In his castellan residence, he slammed a table in anger and roared at his subordinates. He had taken control over Antaur Town for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered so many unlucky things.
“You all actually let those two escape! It seems that I have raised a group of good-for-nothings.”
“Your Excellency Baron Thomas, it happened so suddenly! Those Undead appeared, and we were occupied with suppressing them. We didn’t have the manpower to pursue Miss Yani.”
“The matter of the Undead, you all just needed to report it to Light Church, and let them deal with it. What about those Dark Shamans?”
“They went to the graveyard to examine the situation, saying they wanted to investigate the reason for the outbreak.”
“Forget it! Take no care of those fellows. If they want to investigate problems like this, why don’t they just go to Light Church? I will regard this time as my bad luck.”
While Thomas was depressed, Clyde had already carried Miss Yani some distance away from Antaur Town and stopped in York Village, from which both Anatur Town and Joyce Fortress could be seen. Seeing dense smoke rising from Joyce Fortress, he guessed that the warring sides were fiercely fighting, so many villagers of York Village had fled, moving towards Antaur Town.
In Ximengsi Continent, among the nations of Victor Alliance, there was a very inhumane unwritten rule regarding civil warfare: villages had no human rights. The safeguarding of captured people was limited to town-level and above congregations. If a town were captured, the capturer had to ensure the fundamental rights of the residents. As for villages, there was no need to ensure anything; they could do whatever they pleased. Although Baron Thomas acted willfully in Antaur Town, everything he did was secret and hidden, preventing him from being investigated.
The villagers of York Village feared the victorious party would do evil, so they had taken all their valuables and fled to Antaur Town, not realizing that it would soon become the most dangerous place in this area. After Clyde arrived at York Village, he used several dozen copper coins to purchase the most luxurious inn in York Village. At this time, the owner of this inn was hurriedly packing his things to evacuate. Upon seeing this fool, he didn’t think much and hastily sold the entire inn to Clyde for a mere 50 copper coins.
“Miss Yani, are you feeling better?”
“No… it’s so cold! Can you send me back…”
“I can’t do that. You haven’t recovered, and returning to Joyce Fortress will only add to your troubles.”
Clyde carried Miss Yani into a room and placed her on a big, soft bed. Her complexion was ice-cold as she looked at Clyde with a complicated gaze. However, resisting the mysterious drug had exhausted her, and she quickly fell asleep. At this time, Ancient Demon King Tinas finally appeared beside Clyde.
“Tinas, just now, you…”
“Mm, Master Clyde! That human baron wanted to send people to disturb you, I… I just wanted to help you vent your anger. Did I do anything wrong?”
“It doesn’t matter. You did quite well. There are no problems. By the way, what is Miss Yani’s condition?”
“Many thanks for Master’s understanding. Let me take a look… Eh, it turns out to be like this!”
Standing beside the bed, the demonic soul examined Miss Yani before quickly understanding what had happened to her. Those Dark Shamans had cursed her using a secret method. After carelessly drinking water mixed with a secret drug in Cook Hotel, she had ended up in this unusual state. However, the negative effects of those two methods had combined, which had temporarily suppressed a certain, wicked effect. When Baron Thomas had used his stupid drug, he had not discussed with the Dark Shamans in advance, neutralizing their curse.
“Master Clyde, I can remove the curse, but I need your help to get rid of that mysterious drug’s effect. I have no physical body, so even if I wanted to help, I can’t do anything.”
“Fine, in any case, I have time.”
On the big bed, Ancient Demon King Tinas’s demonic soul easily removed the curse before she tactfully withdrew from the room and closed the door. When Clyde looked towards the bed, Miss Yani had already woken up. After the curse was removed, her condition stabilized. Now, she didn’t feel cold. Instead, her entire body burned, and there was a hint of irrationality in her eyes. With her knight’s willpower, she resisted the effects of that mysterious drug, but despite all this, Clyde began removing his armor.
“You… What do you want to do? Why are you stripping…”
“Miss Yani, of course, to help you! Don’t you need it?”
“I… I don’t…”
Her face reddened. She was unable to finish her sentence as if an indescribable magic power had pinched her mouth closed. She vaguely guessed the special effect of that stupid drug. However, this man wasn’t a gentleman. He didn’t speak even a few words of comfort. He directly prepared to start without a hint of politeness, making Miss Yani at a loss. She didn’t know how to refuse him in the moment.
“Miss Yani, if the drug flares up, your brain might burnout. Even if you want to return to Baron Thomas’s residence to look for the antidote, there is not enough time…”
“I beg you: let me… This is too shameful!”
Miss Yani stubbornly covered her upper body. She used her hands to hug her chest and tightly clamped her legs. She was attempting to resist her body’s instinctive reactions. However, after seeing the other party’s attractiveness index and discovering that Clyde was a handsome young man, her resistance relaxed whether consciously or subconsciously. Sometimes, everything depended on one’s attractiveness index. (Editor: Lmao) Nevertheless, Clyde didn’t completely strip, leaving behind his shorts. And upon seeing her stubbornness, he somewhat admired her. The willpower of his other female companions, including even Sacred Dragon Knight Verly, paled compared to her. Thinking this, his eyes turned into crescents as if he were thinking of some wicked method to make others compromise.
“Miss Yani, how about this? I will only hug you and not do anything strange. You must still wear this, but I will give you the key.”
“This… who invented this thing? I’ve never seen anything like it! Eh, really having to wear…”
“Not wearing it is also fine, but I will certainly not be polite at that time.”
“Don’t… don’t rush to a conclusion! I… I will wear it.”
Like a conjuring trick, Clyde took out a black ornament belt of excellent workmanship from his storage ring modeled like a “chastity belt” of Victorian western society. Merely, the workmanship of this piece was a lot more exquisite than the originals. It exuded elegance like some piece of high fashion. His younger sister, Lucifer, that wicked bloodkin Lolita, had gifted him this as a toy. He had never expected to truly use it someday.
He told Yani the method to wear it before turning around. No matter how hot her face was, she could only wear this item in accordance with Clyde’s explanation while preparing to let the other party hug her the entire night. Yani remained silent but was finally unable to resist the instinctive reaction of her body. Recognizing that she needed to act quickly, she took off her knight armor. Since Clyde had already given her the key, there wouldn’t be any problems since she could always simply remove it.
Although he couldn’t see it, upon hearing the sound of her armor hitting the ground, a sly smile appeared on his face. Although the willpower of this knight beauty was firm, her nature was quite pure and simple. Clyde actually had a spare key, so the real power to make decisions did not solely rest in Miss Yani’s hands. It would be the same either way.
