I have a Synthesizer

As Klein and Perona stepped outside, they were met with a shocking sight: a massive swarm of Bone-Eaters, resembling a dark red ocean, densely packed around the villa.

After the Candlewick merged with Perona's body, the villa no longer possessed the power to deter the Bone-Eaters. Now, the dilapidated villa was completely surrounded.

The number of Bone-Eaters continued to increase, but whether it was due to the lingering aura of the villa or some other reason, they did not seem inclined to attack for the time being.

Erick smacked his lips.

"Whoa! There are so many, it would take half a day just to count them, let alone kill them!"

Lilith, who was about to explain her plan of action, inadvertently glanced at Klein.

Seeing Klein holding Perona's hand and Perona's chest pressed tightly against him, Lilith instantly became furious.

She forgot all about the battle plan she had just devised and walked towards Becky, deliberately brushing past Klein.

With the fastest and most astonishing speed among them all, Lilith subtly pinched Klein's waist hard.

The tingling sensation caused Klein's expression to twist, but he had to endure it at this moment.

A barely audible voice reached Klein's ear.

"I knew something was up between you two when I saw her last night! You're a philanderer!"

"What! ! !"

Perona's exclamation drew everyone's attention. She weakly said,

"Um, never mind, I had a brain fart, don't mind me."

At this moment, the Candlewick's voice appeared again.

【I said, she is Klein's woman, they are flirting.】

Perona was immediately filled with grief and asked in her heart,

"Lord Candlewick, how do you know?"

【They did it in front of me, how could I not know? However, you better not tell anyone, they are both hiding it.】

Perona nodded blankly. It's over, my crush has been taken, I'm done for.

Filled with resentment, she glared fiercely at Lilith's chest, using that as motivation.

"Hmph! I'm clearly bigger than this green-haired woman."

【If you want to win back Klein, you must become stronger!】

"Yes, I must become stronger."

Then, Perona thought about the difference in strength between the two sides and immediately lost her energy.

This green-haired woman is stronger than even Becky, it seems like I have no chance. Sigh? Wait, that's not right, it's okay if I'm a useless bum, but I have Lord Candlewick helping me now!

The Candlewick, who had been hiding in Perona's mental space, sighed. He had set things up for so long, and this silly girl finally thought of him at a time like this!

For an artifact of enlightenment to be reduced to being useful only for women fighting over a man, it's truly embarrassing!

……

Lilith came to Becky's side.

"What do we do about this number?"

Lilith looked at the Red and White Society members nearby, one of whom was seriously injured. Given the scale of the Bone-Eaters, they would be lucky to escape themselves, let alone carry someone.

Although Lilith didn't say it explicitly, Becky understood her meaning. In this situation, they couldn't afford to bring these people along.

However, after thinking for a while, she still didn't plan to abandon them directly. After all, they were all mages, and all members of the Red and White Society. Perhaps they were weak compared to the members of the Jay Society, but they were definitely not a bunch of useless bums.

Perhaps their performance in the villa was poor, and Lilith completely looked down on them, but that was because of their identity and the environment.

Given some time, space, and distance, mages could potentially do much more than melee fighters. Becky glanced at the Red and White Society members.

"We will break out to the north. Try your best to keep up. With this number, no one can protect you, and I hope you understand that."

As soon as Becky finished speaking, the Red and White Society members stirred slightly. After Crock's earlier example, no one would blindly refute Becky anymore.

Two Red and White Society members who were supporting Crock slowly lowered him to the ground. The already crippled Crock immediately panicked.

"What do you mean? What about me? What am I going to do? Are you just going to leave me like this? No, please, there are so many Bone-Eaters, I'm definitely going to die.

You bastards, come back! You're all a bunch of mongrels! The Jay Society people are mongrels, and you, Nimitz, are too."

Crock's screams and insults were ignored by everyone, even the other members of the Red and White Society. It was as if he had been automatically disregarded by everyone.

The Red and White Society's captain, Nimitz, nodded to Becky and Lilith, saying,

"Captain Becky, Captain Lilith, please go ahead. We will try our best to keep up. We understand the situation. If we really can't break through, it just means we lack the strength."

Upon hearing this, Klein glanced at Nimitz. This guy was a smart one.

Although his words sounded nice, he was the only Tier 2 among the Red and White Society members, and his ability to escape during a running battle was definitely the strongest.

His Tier 1 comrades could only become shields to block attacks behind him. Not to mention the weak chicken Perona and the non-combatant members like Arcane Mage Ian.

Although Klein could see through this, there was no need to point it out. He just found it laughable to see the Red and White Society members looking so united.

Klein took out the accompanying map, looked at the range of the ruins, and said,

"I think breaking out to the south would be better than going north."

"Explain," Becky said.

"If I'm not mistaken, these Bone-Eaters will only attack those who enter these ruins.

According to the map, continuing south to escape the ruins is a shorter distance than going north, although it's only a few hundred meters.

But given the number of Bone-Eaters, I think taking a detour through the wilderness would be better than charging directly north."

Becky and Lilith exchanged glances and nodded.

"Then let's go south!"

Lilith directly summoned her Shadow Armor, and Becky drew her greatsword. With the two knights as the vanguard, the group began to move south.

The bone-eating beasts still hadn't attacked; they merely circled the group, seemingly afraid of something.

Lilith and Joe exchanged a silent glance at Klein. Were these bone-eating beasts afraid of Klein? This was already her previous guess.

Lilith had forgotten to ask when the two of them were resting last night.

"Move faster."

Lilith quickened her pace because she felt the circle of bone-eating beasts was shrinking, and their numbers were still increasing.

Without needing to think, it wouldn't be long before these bone-eating beasts, with their numerical advantage, overcame their previous fear and attacked them.

Klein also frowned slightly. Did he have to use that powerful move again? No, there were too many people; it was too inconvenient to use, and with this number, a single Bone Spike wouldn't solve the problem.

Suppressing this dangerous thought, Klein decided to wait and see.

With Becky and Lilith at the front of the group, Klein decided to stand at the back.

… …

At the top of an abandoned ruin, Jason was looking at the slowly moving group below, expressionless.

He submerged his will into his mental world. At this time, the magic pool had turned into a blood pool, exactly the same as the one in the basement.

Jason had completely merged with the Candlemaster's Limb. This symbiotic method was more like the fusion of Perona and Candlewick, and it was also the correct way to use the Candlemaster's accessories.

Only someone like Klein would slam a magic item on the ground, then step on it, to humiliate it, beating it until it obediently obeyed.

In this regard, Candlewick choosing Perona over Klein was indeed a wise decision.

Jason looked at his magic pool, which had turned into a blood pool, and said.

"Are you sure? They have two?"

A human figure slowly rose from the blood pool, gradually turning into the appearance of Triceratops.

"I can feel it. One is the head, and the other is the heart. If you get them, including the Candlelight, you will have four, and my rebirth will not be far away."

Jason's expression was unreadable. After merging with the Candlewax, he increasingly felt that the power of the Candlemaster was too outrageous.

Moreover, although he didn't feel his will being manipulated, everything seemed to be developing in the direction that the Candlemaster's Limb desired, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Jason didn't want the Candlemaster to be resurrected; he only wanted to obtain the Candlemaster's power. The current two Candlemaster magic items were already good enough. If the magic items were out of control, he would rather not have them.

Candlewax had indeed never controlled his will, but this time, facing the imminent departure of Candlewick and the Candlestick, Candlewax couldn't help it.

Jason had his own little thoughts, and so did the Candlewax, which had developed its own will. Not only him, but Candlewick and the Candlestick also had their own ideas.

They were all part of Triceratops, but they all had their own independent wills.

In fact, Candlewax didn't care whether Jason could win or not. If Jason killed Klein and the others, that would naturally be great, and he could subtly influence Jason to promote the fusion.

But if Jason died in battle and Klein and the others obtained the Candlewax and Candlelight, then he had nothing unacceptable about it.

The fact that the other party could obtain the Candlemaster magic items only meant that they were also very potential. What he wanted was only resurrection, and it didn't matter in whose hands he was resurrected.

Jason didn't hesitate for too long. He nodded towards the blood pool, agreed to Candlewax's request, and then withdrew from the mental space, making up his mind.

He wasn't like Klein, who had a synthesizer as his confidence. After witnessing the powerful power of the Candlemaster magic items, the temptation of two Candlemaster magic items was indeed difficult to refuse.

Staring at Klein at the end of the group, Jason murmured.

"We meet again, Klein. Head south. If it were normal times, I might really let you go.

But this time, no matter where you go, I won't stop, who told you to have the Candlemaster in your hands."

Beside him, a man even taller than Kison asked hesitantly.

"Lord, Lilith is also there. If she dies here, the leader will definitely be furious. At that time."

"It's already come to this point, Kogg, is there still a need to worry about this? As long as you give me enough time, in the future, I may not be able to reach that step.

Moreover, Lilith died from the bone-eating beasts. What does it have to do with us?"

After speaking, Jason smiled grimly, and the scar on his face twisted for a while.

Watching Kogg nod, Jason patted him on the shoulder, and then took out more than a dozen soul fragments and handed them to Kogg.

Most of these fragments were blood-colored fragments, and only a small part was black.

"These are the rewards for advancing this operation. No matter what, you must kill them all and bring back the corpses.

As long as you kill them all, there will be more such rewards in the future. Soul fragments are just the beginning. As long as we succeed, soul stones can be easily obtained.

As long as we give ourselves enough time, we even have the opportunity to become an organization surpassing the Skull Society, becoming a rising star in this world. I don't need to say anything else, right?"

Jason's subordinates, including confidants of the Black Cross and subordinates of the Skull Society, were now looking at the soul fragments in their hands with some excitement.

The soul fragments and Jason's words had aroused their ambitions. Following Jason, they could not only obtain the power of soul stones but also the prospect of the future.

Becoming an elder of an emerging organization in the future was more attractive to many people than soul stones.

More than a dozen men in black said in unison.

"Lord Jason's will is our will. We are willing to die for you."

"Go."

"Yes!"

After the men in black dispersed, Candlewax's voice sounded in Jason's mind again.

[Why don't you do it yourself? I don't think they are the opponents of those people below]

"I know, but there was someone who killed more than 2,000 bone-eating beasts before. I don't know if they are among these people. For safety, I always have to let someone try.

Moreover, you seem a little impatient, Candlewax."

Candlewax didn't answer Jason's words again. He also knew that for people like Jason, his desire for control was the most important thing. Too much urging would only backfire.

Today, the three updates add up to nearly 13,000! Not bad!
