Crimson Servant

It's like soaking in a warm pool and you can hear the sound of fluid flowing in your blood vessels.

Thump...thump...

A heartbeat that pumps warm blood throughout the body.

There are two heartbeats in the blood vessels, one remains strong and the other is slowly becoming active.

Nora Sebas wrinkled her face and woke up from a comfortable baby's sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the sight before her gave her the illusion that she was falling into a nightmare.

The pungent smell of blood in the air, his skin and flesh were covered with slender red ribbons, the crimson power along with the corrupted blood was injected into his body along the chains, and his body felt a strange feeling of fullness.

The blood-streaked pale head was right in front of him, and the scarlet eyes were staring at him. Death and fear were like his breath, and the cold pride and solemnity stayed on the hairless eyebrows. Love and purity, the emotions involved in twisted religious beliefs breed in the hotbed of flesh and blood, and Nora finds a ray of beauty in the degradation.

Well, she was totally disgusted.

The immobile crimson druid could only blink his eyes.

"Don't influence me, your soul possession is not over yet. Stuffing your consciousness into this Wendigo's body is like stuffing cotton into a tattered doll. If you are not careful, you will split. .”

John was right, Nora could feel the stitched wounds on her body, especially on her neck. His spell, those red ribbons closing the wound like needle thread, animate the body that had been dead for minutes.

Nora Sebas is gradually resurrected, thanks to the dark ritual of the Crimson One.

Her eyes began to move, her fingers regained feeling, her lips opened and closed, and then she found the pulse of magic.

[You injected me with your blood, the blood you collected from the random warlocks. No, you want to be filled by strangers you don’t know! 】

The tall and bloody Wendigo was squirming in his arms. John's cold face could not express any expression, but at this time the two people were connected by blood, and Nora could feel the twitching at that moment.

"No, thanks to you, I have already exchanged blood once. What is flowing into your body now is not the mixed blood of some unknown person. Maybe you should be happy, Nora. Now you have become a dark dragon. Blood descendant of the mother. He will definitely like a liar like you very much."

Wendigo seemed to see the evil vertical eyes under the black wings that covered the sky, and she shuddered.

[Is it too late for me to regret it now? 】

John snorted coldly, and the chains of sin were pulled away from the healed Wendigo's body.

"My ritual spells will give the sacrifices 'activity', and in this corrupted land of disaster, death will become a luxury."

Wendigo stood up. She and the Crimson Beloved stood together, and their physiques were almost the same.

Nora looked around at the polluted land, the air shrouded in red mist, the thick red clouds above her head, and the wandering Crimson Servants.

Everything here is very much like Juancrete, but Nora remembers that this place was once covered with green trees, and the birds and flowing water once sang together in the wind.

John Camp's ritual turned her hometown into a scene of corruption. She knew the reason and had even prepared for it a long time ago, so now, there was only a slight sadness left in her heart.

Nora opened her mouth, no longer using [Animal Communication], and a tearing voice came out of her throat that was completely different from her before.

"At least they are still alive, and there is still more than half of the Pearl Sanctuary left." Wendigo shrugged his shoulders and said carelessly to John. "There is no need to feel sad, little John, you helped the Pearl Sanctuary get rid of the invasion of Ephessa, you saved them from blood and fire, you should be a little happier!"

"I don't care about their life or death, everything I did was just because of you. Now, Nora Sebas, you abominable liar, you'd better give a reasonable explanation for your betrayal... I will not be betrayed again." You got it over with just a few words. Damn it, you are such an irresponsible and selfish person!"

Nora attempted some virtuoso emotional acting, but thankfully the druid's now enormous size could no longer inspire the warlock's soft sympathy, and he stared at her coldly, as if he were staring at a dead person. .

The helpless female liar calmed down under this gaze. She pursed her lips and cried like a resentful woman who had no hope in life.

"I can't let go of them, I really can't let go of my hometown. I need strength, I need the power to resist the Eversa Empire..."

John was fed up with this thief's messing around, and he scolded her angrily, making a creaking sound from the chain in his hand.

"That's not what I'm asking! You obviously have a better way, you can just say it! Instead of stealing my things and letting me follow your footsteps in the dark, you know I won't refuse you! The only thing is One thing, if I had missed that information in Optitdam, if I had not exposed your deception... I would never forgive myself, and you!"

"Sorry, John." The warlock's anger was extinguished in an instant. The number of times Nora Sebas apologized so seriously was pitiful, and this rareness made him suddenly extinguish his anger.

"This is a debt I have borne, and I should have borne it alone..."

Wendigo sat on the spot and threw away the crimson servant who wandered in front of him.

"We, me, Mariana and Frances had a plan, a plan that was hidden from you, but about you, this, all of it, was just part of that plan."

John Camp's keen intuition immediately realized that this plan was crucial and related to his future.

"Tell me the rest. Apart from what I've been through, what are you planning?"

"have no idea."

"What?"

"I don't know. The three of us executed part of this plan separately. I was not the one who planned it. Little John, and what I know, you already know."

John's first reaction was that this was another lie from Nora Sebas. But then, he thought about the various arrangements for this trip and the planner's arrangements for Nora Sebas.

They planned everything and mastered my actions, but there were extremely obvious risks in this secret plan. One wrong step and Nora Sebas would die. If I accidentally killed the Wendigo in the dungeon... If I didn't realize the identity of the Wendigo and didn't come to the battlefield, Nora's ability to withstand the power of crimson would only lead to two endings. She would be killed by the Empire. The knight was killed, or sacrificed by Veltis.

Nora Sebas is an outcast, they all agree on this, including herself.

Are they all crazy?

Of course, an abandoned child doesn't need to know the future plans, because her part is already over.

John felt uneasy. This crazy arrangement made him feel bad. He needed to know the plan more urgently than any desire.

"The planner is Mariana, right?"

John asked firmly.

"Yes, Francis also knows the whole plan. You know, nothing can be hidden from him."

John gritted his teeth and said, "Of the three of us, you are the only one who has an empty mind."

Nora responded without hesitation, "You know less than I do, silly little John."

Retrieving the soul of Nora Sebas from Vertis and saving the people he cared about from suffering the cold darkness, John's tension eased a lot, but the plan he learned from Nora made him feel urgent . He wants to go back, to the Dark City, to get the truth from the remaining two people.

Wendigo handed something to the Crimson Blessed One.

A wooden emblem stained with blood and ritual power.

In the process of taking it, John Kemp glared at Nora again.

The warlock felt the power of the holy symbol, and Nora set a spell in the holy symbol.

[Nora Sebas’ Wilderness Transformation: Human Form]

"You won't go back with me?"

"I want to stay here for a while. This is my hometown after all. And, you see, I am also a monster now. Walking outside will only cause trouble."

"You can turn me into a human, but you can't?"

"I'm afraid of pain, and this deformation is super painful."

John really impressed her.

"Okay, you can stay here as long as you want."

The warlock activated the power in the holy symbol, and gradually only his wail could be heard in the red mist.

The Wendigo glanced at the direction in which the Crimson Beloved was moving. Her body twisted and turned into a giant wolf, running towards the other side of the red mist.

Across a stream, in the mist-shrouded forest, druids and rangers looked fearfully at the giant beast coming out of the Land of Disaster.

She growled fiercely at the nervous fellow villagers.

"From now on, this place will be renamed 'Nora's Trace'. Do you have any objections?"

"Nora..." A shadow in white clothes appeared by the river. The lady in the forest looked at the giant crimson wolf with light in her eyes.

"Nora?" Carly Sebas walked out of the crowd. She looked at the monster full of depravity and was a little in disbelief.

The appearance of the druid caused the giant wolf to panic, and her aura instantly turned into that of a stupid dog that made a mistake.

"Carly?! You haven't died of old age yet?"

"Nora Sebas!"

"Uh, you know I didn't mean it, Carly!"

"【sit down】!"

Carly Sebas used [Beast Taming] on Nora Sebas, and the effect was great.

"That's too much! Carly! You actually..."

"Spare my life! Spare me once!"

"Ah! I don't dare anymore!"

…

"It's up to you! Anyway, I can't die now, I'll die!"

"Wait! Be gentle! Wait! I was wrong!!"

"Mother!"
