“Raon. I’ll need to look in the formation as well.”

Cale got up and opened the door.

He could see the red dirt of the vast plains that had been trampled on.

Of course, this too was only faintly visible thanks to the moonlight.

“Right this way, Hae-il-nim.”

“Human, follow me!”

Cale followed Choi Han and Raon to where they saw the numerous jiangshis.

* * *

It was not very far away.

It was at the outskirts farthest from the castle wall and looked like a regular plain.

‘I can clearly tell now that I am up close.’

The castle wall in the distance and everything he was looking at were all lies.

It could not be helped.

They had used invisibility magic and speed magic to stealthily move here.

He could see around him despite it being the middle of the night.

‘They were trampled on.’

The vast plain responsible for the food of the citizens of Yunnan was destroyed.

However, what he was looking at right now showed no signs of being trampled on.

It was clearly a lie.

– Human, over here!

Raon’s front paw was no longer invisible and Cale walked toward where Raon was pointing.

However, he only saw the same thing.

– Wait a little bit!

Black mana that assimilated with the night started moving.

It then seeped into the air.

– I studied formations a lot! I am great and mighty and know formations very well now!

Sssssssssss—

There was a sudden gust of wind as if a blocked hole was opened.

‘Hmm?’

It was a stiff and sticky breeze.

The type that would make someone feel suffocated.

Cale could see a hole the size of a palm starting to appear. He knew what he had to do.

He looked through the opening.

Very carefully.

– Oh, this.

The Fire of Destruction. The cheapskate gasped.

Cale clenched his eyes shut.

He could understand why Raon and Choi Jung Soo had returned with such shocked faces that he had not seen in a while.

– This is crazy.

He could not see much through that palm-sized opening.

Even that opening was just a crack, giving a faint view of the inside.

However, what Cale saw was beyond what he had expected.

‘Ha.’

Underneath the moonlight…

Although he knew that nobody was walking around despite torches being lit around the walls…

There were so many corpses standing there that it was impossible to feel the light of those torches.

Yes, these were corpses.

They were different from the jiangshis he saw in Xiaolen.

Although he was certain that they had used dead mana to create these jiangshis, their appearances showed no signs of darkness.

In fact, a gentle blue light was sparkling on them from the moonlight.

The Blue Bloods household.

These jiangshis looked as if they would bleed blue to match that name.

The Blood Cult.

Just hearing that term would make Cale think of the color red, but starting today, he would only think about blue blood whenever he thought of the Blood Cult.

The jiangshis didn’t even blink as they looked forward.

They looked like statues.

However, they looked completely human.

Living corpses.

That expression was quite an accurate assessment of them.

– Cale, each of them look like they would be difficult to handle.

As the Cheapskate mentioned, all of the jiangshis were properly equipped.

The Blood Cult seemed to have not saved the significant profits they had earned through the Pure Silver Merchant guild and instead invested for their future.

The results of that investment was this endless number of jiangshis all being fully equipped.

– There seem to be more than ten thousand of them.

Cale bit down on his lips after hearing the Cheapskate’s comment.

The jiangshis were standing extremely tightly next to each other.

The formation with a radius of one kilometer that surrounded Yunnan Castle…

It was not an even circle with exactly one kilometer in all directions. Some areas were shorter than that while the place Cale was looking at was about 1.3 kilometers long.

At that moment…

Rustle.

They felt someone’s presence behind them.

“!”

Cale saw the eyes of all of the jiangshis on the other side of the gap turning toward them, toward the direction of the sound.

As the gazes instantly headed toward them…

– Human, I’m closing it!

Raon’s judgment was accurate.

Cale immediately moved back.

The opening was closed.
