Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 944: The Survivor of Doomsday
Mr. Langton was now sweating profusely.

As a Star Antimony refugee, he was undoubtedly lucky - compared to those who had no chance of being saved and were still trapped in the fallen city where demons were rampant, he was now alive and living in the stable Avalon, which was a blessing.

If it weren't for the church, he would have been eaten by those horrible demons.

Landon clearly remembered the horrific scene he saw——

At the time of the incident, he was drinking in a bar and chatting up beautiful women like every Iris guy.

As an Iris man, he felt extremely excited and confident about having obtained the title.

Just like every fisherman who has caught a big fish, he will continue to get lost outside and say to everyone he meets, "How did you know I just caught a 20-pound fish?" and so on.

Leipzig is essentially a city of scholars, but it is also a city that burns money - many scholars are seeking sponsorship from the nobles, so the news that "a silly Iris noble has come to Leipzig" quickly spread... The beauties who appeared in the taverns he frequented these days were actually there to pick up rich men after hearing about him.

Of course, as an Iris man, Landon was experienced in this aspect. He knew too well how a passerby or someone who was curious about him should react. When those people performed too hard, he would recognize their purpose - but it didn't matter, he could still show off excitedly. He was not picky.

He won't really give the money anyway.

And that day.

The sky collapsed and the devil descended.

The girl who was interacting closely with him screamed and ran away. He didn't react to what happened...but this slowness saved his life.

The girl had just left the house when she was hit by a car and instantly drowned by the densely packed demons. She only heard a scream that faded away and then suddenly stopped.

The tavern fell into chaos in an instant and was immediately closed.

Fortunately, there are quite a few extraordinary people here. There are many high-level adaptors - in Lanton's opinion, the third energy level is considered high-level - such as assassins or thieves. This tavern seems to be a den of thieves.

But it was fortunate that they survived by taking advantage of the situation.

When it was daybreak, after Landon confirmed that the demon had disappeared, he fled back home.

The streets were littered with dead bodies.

Mutilated bodies were everywhere.

A bloodstained baby carriage.

Broken cane.

The twisted legs were torn into pieces, leaving only half of them.

A head impaled on a telephone pole.

……

Broken telephone poles, shredded billboards, and shattered glass walls.

Broken walls and ruins.

It was like hell, blood was sprayed everywhere. There were traces of blood everywhere on the walls and glass. But the number of corpses was far less than the blood - just imagine where they went.

When he returned home, he immediately felt a deeper despair -

These demons seemed to have some special attack priority. They would always attack people on the street first, and then places with open doors. As long as the door was closed, only scattered demons would try to attack here.

——And their family has never had the habit of closing the door.

Because Lanton's father was a very powerful curser - a great wizard of the fourth level! Because of this, they were introduced to Xingtan as talents and directly granted the title of baron, as well as a manor, a wine estate, three villas and more than sixty servants.

His father's habit was to leave the door open to thieves. Any thief who dared to break into the house would be cursed, not to mention trying to take anything.

It only takes a thought to kill them. In more cases, curses can be used to blackmail and control the other party. In this way, you can get subordinates who are very useful and not afraid of betrayal, so that you can spread your control.

He wasn't worried at all about offending someone he couldn't handle.

Because someone with that kind of strength and background would never be able to break into a house and steal. He had only cast a curse. If the other party was related to some important person, he could use it as a bargaining chip to contact the important person, and after removing the curse in a friendly way, he could establish another connection - who would offend a friendly curse master? Who knows when he might need him.

A noble curse master who is willing to be hired and has a gentle attitude - this is an excellent partner. Being a noble means that he cannot run away with the money. He has his own fixed assets and family name, which means that "he can be found if something goes wrong."

When he was in Iris, he accumulated wealth through this fishing method. He even became the chief consultant of a large gang. He went to Xingti not to escape, but to bid farewell to his past partners in a decent manner and pursue a better future.

——But such a powerful curser, a big shot personally invited by Count Leipzig, was so vulnerable in the tide of demons.

All the curses and rituals set up in the house were torn to pieces.

His father was eaten until only half of his skeleton was left - the curser's most nutritious eyes, tongue and brain were all eaten, leaving only a hollow head with the shell opened and broken ribs connected to the spine.

Almost all the servants in the house died, and the only surviving maid had gone mad. She hid under the bed and escaped by chance. All the ritual materials and curse materials were swept away, almost all the furniture was smashed, and the paintings were either torn or graffitied with blood... Ironically, the money was intact and not a bit was lost.

He tried to settle the crazy maid, and he was going to rebuild the defense ritual - although he didn't know if it would work. But his arrangement of the ritual seemed to have triggered the crazy maid's PTSD... In a blink of an eye, the crazy maid quickly escaped and was never seen again.

He was alone in the empty house, and loneliness, fear and despair had overwhelmed his heart.

He had no idea how he should live. He had no energy or time to pack up his things. He realized that he didn't even have the materials for the ceremony, so he had to give up arranging the ceremony. He followed the maid's example and hid under the bed. He endured for three days.

——It seemed that they didn’t pack up and save him. The demons saw that this place had been ravaged before, so no new demons rushed in. In the past three days, only a few demons strayed in, flew around and left.

Until the church sent someone to rescue him.

When he arrived safely in Avalon with only one suitcase of personal belongings left... he even thought he was dreaming.

As soon as he got off the boat, he prostrated himself, kissed the ground, and cried loudly. There were many people like him, and they hugged and kissed each other to celebrate their escape.

It wasn't until Landon settled in that he realized one thing -

His friend Janet Boyman had told him before that the Aleister Crowley he was trying to approach seemed to be the lover of the Eternal Pope Aiwass.

Isn't it because of this reason?

Today, it is this Eternal Pope of human origin who has gone against all odds and directly dispatched the Paladin Corps to rescue refugees on the fallen planet.

But now, the Pope summoned him for unknown reasons.

...He was just a nobody, and his strength as a transcendent was only at the second level. Not to mention him, even his father was not very famous in Iris, and even now in Star Antimony he was just a son of a reserve baron who had not yet taken the oath - even if Landon inherited his father's title, he was just a baron without fiefdom, power ring, people, or wealth.

No matter how Landon Vines von Bayard thought, he could not imagine any social relationship or any intersection between himself and the great Pope - he would not have the chance to meet the Pope for another three generations!
Not to mention, this Pope seems to be the Queen of Avalon's fiancé.

It can be said that he is the person at the pinnacle of power in the secular world!
...It turned out to be the price I paid for my bad mouth.

Although the Pope is merciful, it probably won't be a big deal...

But Landon still sweated profusely about it.

Just like when he was a child, he accidentally broke the glass bottle that his father kept the curse medium in. Even though his father didn't have the habit of beating him, when he realized what he had done, he was still so scared that his legs couldn't stop shaking.

Anyway, I'll just kneel down when I see His Holiness the Pope, Landon thought.
