============

It was a unique quest given not by any individual, but by the system itself.

And, this was an area quest so every single individual present in that area had received it including the parents of the being who had become the target of the evil beings.

“Shit. Shit!”

Eve… the adorable little girl who was smiling just a moment ago, had now turned into a creature that resembled the Joker that Elio and his party had seen when they went underground a few days ago.

Back then, the being that they had fought was a creature of darkness, someone who had failed to align itself with the pure darkness and was overwhelmed by the power that it received.

It wasn’t evil from the beginning but the overwhelming power corrupted them, however, even though Eve looked somewhat similar to that creature with her body that now resembled a bewitching demoness, was not the same as that joker.

She was being possessed by the evil creatures that are responsible for the birth of the Dark mages…

“What do we do, Alex?!”

“Shut up for now! That’s all we can do right now!”

-OOOOOOOOOONG!

Eve wasn’t like that joker who initially followed the pure darkness, a truth that indicated the ‘finality’ of all beings, she had turned into an ‘impure’ creature close to that Dark magician that the two of them had fought in Moongold.

Unlike that joker, she wasn’t in control of her body at the moment, so, whatever was happening right now, wasn’t exactly her fault.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dark spikes made of that impure darkness were now coming out of the ground from all around the garden, breaking through even the platforms made in various places.

The knights who were on standby including the knight captain who had arrived from Luthor was on guard.

The entire estate was sealed off by the estate mages, and though stunned by the quest window that had popped up before him as well, the viscount was taking command of the forces.

[{ “How the hell did it come to this?!” }]

Eve… the creature that had taken over her was trying to kill every single person present in the garden, every single greedy person that had ignored her and had envied her in any manner.

[{ “It’s those fucking Evil bastards! Fuck! This is bad! Very, very fucking bad!” }]

The Evil beings of the Dark realm were responsible for all the impurity that existed in this physical realm.

They were beings closer to the spirits, or gods, or the ghosts. They were abstract in nature, they were evil, and… they had only one objective: Chaos.

Following the truth of Impurity, these beings were worse than the demons who had their own ideology- one that could still be dealt with in a simple manner.

But not these beings…

They were Evil. They wanted Chaos. And to cause that chaos, they used their abundant power of Impure Darkness on anything that they could take advantage of.

[{ “Elio! Forget about everything else! We have to deal with that Dark energy Collector!” }]

[{ “But…!” }]

[{ “If that thing explodes, the entire Kalp will be done for! Elio!” }]

The knights that had arrived to save the other people were being wounded by the spikes that were popping out the blue from the ground.

It was something that directly pierced through their armors, and when it got into contact with them, they started turning into creatures that resembled the Dark joker, covered in dark energy, with no control over their bodies anymore.

[{ “Just leave them! Odin! Miss Rin! Get the children and the Important noble people out of here! And tell anyone you see fighting those things to stop and focus on evaluation! Priorities taking them outside of the estate!

I’m going to help Andrew! Many lives are on the line right now so don’t fucking do anything stupid!” }]

That creature flying with its dark wings, smirking down at all of them as if it was enjoying all the chaos happening there… It wasn’t Eve.

That poor girl just fell victim to those evil bunch and, though Alex didn’t want to admit it… it was too late now.

“Lord Andrew!”

“Pi-kyu!”

He had taken out his magic wand and was helping the guides while the fox creature that he had just bonded with was helping the people get out of this estate with the help of water and wind sprints.

It was a mystical creature, so it had the power to not only use Mana in the environment directly, even though it was young, it was able to summon at least three basic spirits.

It was going to be weakened after using so much energy, but since Lord Andrew was sharing his own Mana with the creature, they should be fine for now.

“Miss Alex! What’s-.”

“Andrew! I know you’re confused right now, but you know exactly what’s happening! And you know what that form means!”

“No…!”

As a father, he would never accept the fact that his child that he had cared for as the most precious treasure in this world, someone he had given his everything to, the one he had nurtured so preciously… had fallen to those fucking evil beings!

He could see what had become of his little one, but he would never accept the fact that she was gone completely!

“She’s there! I know she’s there!”

“Yes she is!”

The knights who had fallen to the evil’s darkness and became a dark creature came and attacked them, but the Viscount sliced them all into pieces without mercy.

The only thing that he could see right now was his precious daughter who was being controlled by those damned evil beings!

She wasn’t doing all this purpose, THEY were making her do all of this! He knew that!

“But you know as well as I do! It’s too late!”

“No…!”

-Ooooooooooooong!

Those evil beings start taking over one’s being from the very moment they get into contact with them.

“I know she’s there…!”

This was a well known phenomenon which had resulted into a Main scenario six years ago and everyone knew how those Evil bastards worked very well.

“Yes she’s still there!”

The father who had cherished his precious treasure so dearly would never accept this fact. She knew that better than anyone else…

“But she’s just a little girl, Andrew!”

Right now, if it wasn’t for the Knight captain of the Duke holding that being back, many of them would have died already.

He was the only one who could hold it back even though it was merely a (Level-180) creature at the moment.

“Do you think she can defy the Impurity of those evil bastards?!”

There was chaos all around the viscount mansion which was celebrating a grand occasion just a moment ago.

The one who was at the center of this festive event, the precious gem of Cromwell, had now become the murderer thirsty for the blood and screams of all the individuals present there.

Now a representation of Evil, she was blocking the Knight captain of the Blood-iron duke with one hand, while controlling the dark spells to take lives on the ground.

Her mother who was overwhelmed by the trauma of seeing her child turning into that monster had lost her mind and was moved outside of the estate already.

And her father, who cherished her unlike anyone else in this world, was helping the knight that was blocking her from killing the rest of them present there…

[ “Khehahahaha~!” ]

There was a giant orb of energy that was gathering dark energy from the surrounding as well as from the body of the creature (Eve) and anyone seeing this orb… could instinctively tell it wasn’t a good thing.

As mentioned in the quest window, it was something that’d cause a Dark Energy Outburst, and anyone familiar with that name, or, anyone who was more than ten years old, knew exactly what it was.

“Eve…”

And, as even Elio knew… they had to stop that thing from exploding.

Above anything else, even the life of the little miserable girl, what all of them present there had to focus on right now, was that Dark orb hanging above their heads.

If that explodes… the tragedy of the Empire’s western gate from six years ago would be repeated in the Kingdom of Viv as well.
