Bruto.
The blood-red aura surged into the sky.
But it was hidden in the darkness.
Only that bizarre crimson aura could not be concealed, rushing towards everything around.
The place from which the crimson aura emanated was a small forest.
"Roar!"
With a sharp roar piercing the night sky.
A four-ter tall red-skinned monster erged from the forest, each step on the ground resounded heavily.
He sniffed the air with his head tilted.
"Ah, I sll... delightful souls!"
With that, he strode toward Bruto, who was not far away.
A patrol of soldiers from the Enzelle Kingdom noticed sothing amiss.
The captain atop his warhorse quickly shouted: "Alert, sothing is approaching!"
Just as they prepared.
The massive figure, four ters tall, had already rushed in front of them, possessing a speed unfitting for his size. The terrifying countenance of the monster left the patrolling soldiers in stunned fear.
The captain reacted quickest.
Drawing his weapon, with barely a shout, he was grabbed and crushed in the monster’s hand, then directly tossed into its mouth to be chewed.
"Delicious, such delicacy! This is truly a wonderful place."
The monster shouted, his voice carrying a sharp note of joy.
"Toot toot toot!"
A dull alarm echoed through the night sky, as one soldier on the patrol sounded the warning.
"So noisy!" The monster roared, swinging his claws, ready to devour the soldiers in front of him.
"Stop, you abyss-spawned scum!"
With that, an arrow with strong force pierced directly into his palm.
His palm stung, halting the attack.
The monster looked towards the direction of the speaker.
"Your scent is different..." He glanced at Ritke.
Ritke, who arrived first, held his bow with absolute vigilance, watching the monster before him.
His expression was exceptionally grim.
This was a red-skinned monster, yet the fur on his body was crimson like steel needles.
His head was wolf-like, but his mouth was more elongated, revealing several rows of teeth, intertwined tongues within resembling maggots twisting freely as the mouth opened and closed.
The body was not robust but rather slender, claws almost perpendicular to the ground with three fingers forming sharp talons, like blades clenching on his hands.
His legs were like reversed sheep hooves.
Strange in appearance, yet distinct in features.
And in his identification.
Without a doubt, this was an Evil God’s Apostle, from the aura he emitted, it was clear this was an Apostle of the War Bone Skull Lord.
A demon from the abyss.
Several shadows rushed quickly.
These were the other Night Watchers who were slightly behind; now all of Bruto’s Night Watchers had gathered here, forming a small squad.
"What’s the enemy’s strength?"
Although he asked this, he had already initiated identification, then fell silent.
Everyone fell silent.
Level 7.
This was what they saw through identification.
This was the issue.
They were a standard Night Watcher squad.
The squad had been ford for almost two years.
Compared to the ti just after formation, two mbers had reached Level 6, while the remaining three were still at Level 5.
But even then, they could not face the monster before them.
Even within the sa level, there were differences.
Not to ntion the level and strength of an Evil God’s Apostle were always at the pinnacle of its level, because each Evil God’s Apostle’s inherent strength far exceeded the prowess they could display in this world.
As the levels climbed, battles beyond one’s level beca difficult to achieve.
They were only an ordinary Night Watcher squad, albeit with blessings and conveniences from the Night Watcher organization.
Yet still, they could not battle beyond their level.
Especially against an Evil God’s Apostle.
If they had such ability, they would have chosen to advance to beco a Soul Guardian.
The requirent for being a Soul Guardian was to exhibit absolute strength within the sa level. In pairs or teams, they must battle beyond their level.
"Haha, seems not so easy." Afeqi forced a smile, gripping the rapier in his hand.
He charged forward suddenly, followed by Dute with his iron shield and warhamr.
A shield had already enveloped them from behind, from their team’s mage.
Their captain had long summoned support through the channel, but whether anyone would truly co depended on luck.
Then their attention was wholly focused on the monster before them.
"Ah, your scent... are Night Watchers, aren’t you?"
"For soone of your ilk to rember us, truly a privilege." Ritke said with a sarcastic tone, releasing his bow.
The arrows arrived alongside Dute and the others.
In face of the attack, the monster surprisingly chose to endure directly, then with one strike sent Dute flying, and his hand claw was gashed by Afeqi.
When both n were thrown back.
Ritke had already reached behind them, catching them.
And that monster did not pursue the attack.
"Haha, the ruler favors you greatly, co, embrace the abyss and embrace the will of slaughter!"
His allure was perfunctory, like a task completed in passing.
Among the revealed Evil Gods, the one who cared most about the Night Watchers was undoubtedly the War Bone Skull Lord.
Not only did he favor Kana but also the Night Watchers under Kana, for the characteristics of the Night Watchers drew this Evil God’s attention during battles.
This made this Evil God, more than any other, eager to lead the Night Watchers into corruption.
But the problem was his ans of corruption were the most straightforward among all Evil Gods.
"Screw you, shut your damn mouth, get out of this cursed place, you bastard!"
The extrely hot-tempered and foul-mouthed Dute cursed without hesitation.
He vented all his anger from this period onto the demon.
Dragging his shield and warhamr, he charged again.
In an instant, the five of them and the Evil God’s Apostle fought into a brawl again.
The soldiers they had saved previously were unable to participate, instead running directly towards the barracks.
"You an, a powerful Evil God monster appeared outside the city because of a ritual? Appearing here?"
The person in charge of this place now was an old general over fifty.
After speaking, he roared: "Assemble the troops, aside from necessary defenses, gather everyone, we must annihilate this monster!"
This place was a crucial junction that could not be lost.
As the battle continued, Bruto beca the rear of the frontline.
Injured and supplies must first be stored here, then transported.
This was why the residents here never found peace, as both mbers of the Liberty City Alliance and Evil Gods understood the importance of this place.
They never relinquished control over here, constantly exerting influence so the Enze Kingdom struggled to establish control.
The army began to gather.
Began to head to the site of the evil ritual.
