Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

The Knight Order and priests didn't understand what had happened.

But they didn't really care.

One by one, they looked relieved, whispering and cheering.

"So it turns out we chose a perfect timing! We used the wave that Vikalina and the others held at the front, and now these monsters are weakened, making it easy to break out. It's just perfect!"

"We're going to survive! Even though we couldn't save those commoner, getting out of this Blood Servant tide unscathed is a big achievement. That's good enough, we should be satisfied!"

"Sylar bastard is dead too, which is great! Without him, our family is sure to take the biggest credit! We never dared to touch him before, but he just turned into a Blood Servant and died on his own!!"

"Those bunch of commoner, we really should thank them for using their lives to delay us!"

"I bet they're still screaming 'Wait for Sivis' right now, huh? Haha!"

The members of the Knight Order were chatting, looking quite relaxed, their moods extremely light.

Even the Silver-Rank cleric looked a bit happy now. He quietly touched his space ring: it was unexpected that he didn't have to do anything at all!

The Dragon-related Fossils were still intact, and he had escaped alive!

As long as he could leave this place, the Church would definitely offer free treatment for his plague infection. With this "achievement" of surviving, he could definitely gather enough resources to reach the requirements for upgrading to Gold-Rank!

Although he's only at silver-rank six right now, he's still a long way from breaking through to silver-rank ten and reaching the gold-rank.

And silver-rank was the formal step into the Extraordinary rank. Even if someone was naturally gifted, they still needed time to accumulate power within their body. The cleric was still far from the next promotion.

But for the Silver-Rank , as long as the talent wasn't too bad, reaching Silver-rank Ten was just a matter of time!

The real challenge was breaking through to Gold.

This cleric thought he would definitely reach Silver Ten within ten years and then start working on the breakthrough to Gold-rank.

This time, despite all the difficulties, it was actually a big opportunity for me!

But even with the joy, someone in the group still raised a question: "Why did these monsters suddenly decrease? Why did they suddenly weaken?"

"Earlier, there was also a time when the monsters decreased... Could this be a special situation with the Blood Plague?"

They were confused, and the silver cleric also spoke up to explain: "After all, we don't know much about the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan hasn't acted many times in the past few hundred years."

"Maybe they are saving their energy, and let these Blood Servants enter a more energy-efficient mode after a period of outbreak. After all, the people who needed to be infected should have already been killed or infected."

They were just guessing wildly.

The priests also felt a lot more relaxed, casting enhancement spells while chatting with each other.

"I'm going to have my family get me to the Holy City after this close call."

"I thought small towns would be safer, but disaster could still break out."

"This time it was the Blood Clan, next time who knows?"

"Right! After all, in small towns, any descendant of an evil god could cause trouble."

"Besides, the demons are all concentrated in the Sky Canyon fortress... no need to worry. There are still several terrifying ones like the Blood Clan."

"Anyway, why these monsters weakened doesn't matter to me. As long as we can get out, that's all that counts!"

They were in a good mood.

Even though they were puzzled, they didn't really care if the mystery was solved or not.

Everyone had heard Vikalina swear that "Sivis had a way to solve this disaster," but no one would connect this to that little noble — who did he think he was?

If he could really weaken the Blood Clan, wouldn't the Church have already invited him to be honored? Why would he stay in this small town as an ordinary noble? Could he even have that kind of power? That's ridiculous!

Everyone was in a good mood, gradually pushing forward. Even though the pace wasn't fast, they were getting closer and closer to the safe zone.

They had no idea that not far away, a figure had just passed by them — it was Sivis.

...

"Hmm?"

"Churched people."

Above, Sivis furrowed his brow slightly.

After killing two Blood Clan members and finishing everything, and tricking Dace Dracula back to the surface, he was now not far from the city gate.

Sivis immediately rushed toward the factory.

But even though he wanted to go fast, he couldn't go any faster.

Countless Blood Servants were chasing after him.

Sivis was efficient at killing, but it still took time.

At this moment, after clearing almost all the monsters around him, he jumped directly onto the rooftop.

Sivis was heading in a completely opposite direction from the Knight Order and the priests who were trying to break through. This time, they collided.

He used the Hurricane Spell to run across the rooftops, and the Knight Order members didn't notice him at all.

Only that silver-rank cleric looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, but he was currently both excited and distracted, using holy light to suppress the plague inside his body. He just felt a shadow pass by and didn't think much of it.

Sivis watched their retreating figures with a puzzled expression.

How come these people were able to safely make it this far?

How did they do it?

Oh right...

I remember that there was still one person in the Knight Order who had been infected and turned into a Blood Servant. But that person wasn't there anymore.

Thinking about this, Sivis felt a bit embarrassed. He had completely forgotten to tell Vikalina about such an important thing.

But fortunately...

It seemed that the Knight Order had handled things on their own, removing that Blood Servant from their group. And by using Sivis's actions of weakening and drawing in Blood Servants, they seemed to be succeeding in their breakout.

Although, now that Sivis had just passed by them, they were sure to face another wave of Blood Servant attacks.

But… the main force was still chasing after Sivis, so the Knight Order didn't have much pressure from the weakened monsters.

"Okay, let them take the advantage then."

Sivis shook his head. After he came back to the ground, he didn't immediately use the "Call Guards" skill, which would instantly summon his monsters to his side. Goblin and Stone Demon were too slow to keep up with Sivis's speed when he was using Hurricane Spell.

He was a perfectly promoted Silver-rank body, with all his attributes at their peak.

So, he went in light, and when he felt he was close to the factory area, he actively triggered the power of the " God of Blood Sea " to weaken the Blood Servants in this entire area.

Unexpectedly, this actually helped the Knight Order break through.

But… Sivis felt a little annoyed: Why? These people had also wronged me before, and now they were just taking my advantage and running away?

Thinking about it, he decided that since his soul points were plentiful, he might as well exchange for an item called "Winged Firefly."

A transparent light dot quickly flew after the Knight Order members — this small item cost 100 exchange points, and it could perfectly hide itself while tracking its target, providing Sivis with a tracking ability.

This kind of firefly transmitted signals to Sivis through a special physiological sensing ability.

In Gandanyir's backstory, only a special kind of bug-tamer could control them. But the version from the system was the most perfect one, allowing Sivis to "communicate" with it.

The advantage of this bug was that since it didn't use Extraordinary power to send messages, if someone wasn't careful, even a semi-god or a legendary warrior might be tracked by it —

Provided that the person was in an area with lots of insects flying around. Otherwise, with their sharp senses, it would be impossible for such a small insect to stay near them for long.

In any case, this kind of firefly didn't have any Extraordinary power fluctuations, so even that silver cleric wouldn't have been able to detect its presence.

As for what to do with them after catching up, Sivis hadn't really thought it through yet.

He just felt that, first, these people had wronged him, and he had done them a big favor, so he at least wanted to collect a little "gratitude fee" later. Second, he knew that the Knight Order members were extremely dissatisfied with Vikalina, so they might go to the Church and report her — the inheritor of the "Holy Flame Lance."

According to the game's background setting, in the original history of Vikalina, she had always acted on her own, received countless complaints, yet still grew into the "Holy Flame Lance." This showed that even though the Church was corrupt, it wasn't that bad yet.

But Sivis could at least talk to Vikalina about how to deal with these people.

"Anyone who bullies me is absolutely not allowed."

Even if the female knight wouldn't be affected by these figures, she would still be targeted.

Sivis wouldn't accept that!

If it wasn't for considering Vikalina's kind personality, he would have even wanted to kill all of them.

If no one reported it, then even if Vikalina went too far, it would be as if she had done nothing at all, right?

After this small incident, Sivis didn't care anymore and immediately rushed toward the factory base at full speed.

...

At the base, the defense had completely collapsed.

The men at the front were still holding their weapons, trying desperately to resist the Blood Servants, but they had been infected too badly. Their minds were becoming hazy, and the burning sensation on their bodies made them extremely painful.

They even felt a strange "scent" coming from behind them, tempting them to go "hunt" and "kill." As for family, love, and relationships — all of it had vanished.

When this suppressed emotion finally reached its peak and exploded, these people suddenly felt their minds go blank and clear — in an instant, their eyes changed.

Vikalina saw this and her face turned pale — her hands were even shaking slightly. She was still just a girl. She knew the best solution at this moment was to kill all the infected people first, then defend the remaining civilians. But she couldn't do it — these were people who had fought beside her all along. How could she just kill them so easily?
