Grush let out a weak moan and opened his eyes in confusion, a blur in sight.

I...... Not dead?

Breathing in the scorching air, Grush's throat itched, he couldn't help coughing twice, and he got up from the ground with his hands propped up, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

In front of him stood a man dressed in a crisp dark red suit with two monstrous red horns rising into the sky, and in Grush's memory only 'a dragon' liked to wear this!

"Mr. Ziegler!" Grush couldn't help but let out an exclamation after seeing clearly the person standing in front of him, "Why are you here?"

Ziegler tilted his head and said without looking back, "Of course I came here after receiving a notice!" This place is so close to the Westside Fortress, after someone sent the news back, the mage stationed in the Westside Fortress confirmed the news and sent the news back to Wende City...... But this time it's really troublesome!"

Troublesome?

A flash of doubt flashed through his mind, and Grush struggled to his feet from the ground, wanting to know what was going on with the soldiers, and Estem now—

Grush just glanced up at the sky, and then froze on the spot.

The gray sky seemed to be collapsing towards the ground, sparks were scattered in the wind between heaven and earth, and the uninhabited green mountains suddenly turned into a scene of purgatory.

Flames spread across every inch of the forest, changing the main color from green to red at once, swaying and lighting up the sky - it wasn't a cloud at all, it was a monster!

Countless hideous faces had their eyes closed, and their dark gray bodies filled Grush's entire field of vision, with no body or limbs, and it looked like a soft cloud.

He's seen ...... He's seen this monster!

Grush's eyes widened involuntarily, trying to bring the monster's entire body into his pupils, but no matter what direction he wanted to look, he couldn't see how big the monster really was!

Ziegler noticed the surprise shown by the man behind him, flicked the cigarette ash, pointed to the monster in the sky and asked, "Do you know?"

"A few years ago...... Grush, feeling his throat dry, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "I saw ...... at the time of the decisive battle of the Civil War in the Kingdom of Kolo"

"But at that time, it wasn't that big......"

"Whew......" Ziegler exhaled a puff of smoke with a blank face, and now he finally knew what Estham was doing!

The red eyes reflected a part of the monster's body, and after releasing the monster, Estem disappeared, and although it said 'all together', Ziegler did not believe that it would actually do so.

Maybe it's hidden, maybe it's escaped, maybe it's merging with the monster...... But only he won't die!

Although he does not study souls, he knows how much it takes to cultivate souls into 'this form'.

This kind of monster can't be naturally generated, and the appearance on the battlefield of the decisive battle also shows that someone is deliberately cultivating this monster with the help of war, although it is not clear who it is, but it must be the one who caused the war.

And Grush also said that when he first saw this monster, its size was not so huge, that is, this monster not only has a stereotype, will not produce self-contradiction and self-rejection, but can also continue to grow.

There is no doubt that this is already a whole new 'race'!

Thinking of this, Ziegler's hand holding the cigarette was also trembling slightly.

Someone is studying the soul, and with this level of results, creating a whole new life, which already involves the level of the gods - what madman did this?

"Let's go, this thing is still asleep for the time being, let's not wake it up. ”

After a little calculation in his mind, Ziegler felt that he might not have much chance of winning against the monster.

This is a monster that contains at least tens of thousands of souls, and these souls are all condensed into one, not the demon's 'devouring' and 'digesting', but truly fused into one!

It is no longer possible for this kind of soul to be reincarnated directly, and even if it shatters a part of its 'body', it is impossible for it to die, as long as there is a chance for it to escape, it is equivalent to letting go of a scourge.

Ziegler considered himself a madman, but he wasn't mad to that extent!

It's too dangerous to exist in this world—like gods, if it's not hard to kill, why would the gods seal them away?

"Just put it here?" Grush asked.

He knew how terrifying this monster was on that battlefield, and neither a legendary mage nor a team of knights of the Duchy of Sorrow could kill it, not even seriously injure it.

If you put it here, who knows when it will wake up?

It moves faster than a war horse can run at full speed, and if it is allowed to go to the land of the Principality of Sorrow, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ziegler threw the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguished it with one kick, and frowned: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" Cervantes is still outside the Great Wall, it is impossible to come over in a short time, the congregants and knights of the Church of Wealth need to protect the goddess of wealth, and the food hunters can come, but if they face that monster, it is obviously not enough!"

What worries Ziegler the most is that this monster doesn't seem to have a 'core', and in his magical vision, every part of its body is 'equal', which means that this monster may have the ability to 'split'!

Even with Rena here, he didn't want to clash with this monster because it was so 'big'.

"Go back to the Westside Fortress first, and then tell Serena the news here, ask her to inform Cervantes, and send all the mages who stayed in Wende City by the way......"

Looking at the soul aggregate floating quietly in the sky, Ziegler sighed, "If we don't restrict this monster, even if we can defeat it, it's useless, we can't kill it at all!"

With that, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

But at this moment, Grush's voice drifted into his ears again, "No, Mr. Ziegler, I'm afraid we don't have time......"

Ziegler was slightly startled, and suddenly looked up.

While looking up, Grush reached out and grabbed the [Blazing Sun] inserted on the ground beside him, and said bitterly, "...... It's awake!"

The gray faces opened their eyes one after another, and the scenes in all directions were reflected in the godless eyes.

Mountains, scorched earth, flames, as well as Grush and Ziegler, all came into their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Ziegler only felt that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, nicotine and tar went straight down the trachea into his lungs, and then discharged from his mouth and nose after circulating with air in his lungs.

With a slightly trembling hand, Ziegler plucked the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and Ziegler swallowed.

It's a big trouble this time!

Because it was an emergency, he rushed here without bringing anything, he didn't bring any magic accessories with him, and the staff was also at home, Rena was not around, and there was a storage bag for spell casting materials, but it was not enough to deal with this monster.

I thought it would be enough to deal with demons, but I didn't expect such a monster to emerge!

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't have any communication magic on him, and he couldn't notify him if he wanted to.

After a moment of thought with a gloomy face, Ziegler sighed and raised his hand to release a [Wind Signal Technique].

I hope it's time to make it......

Then he dropped the cigarette in his hand, raised his foot to extinguish it, and looked at the sky.

I didn't expect him Ziegler to become a 'guardian' one day, which is really ironic!

The red dragon sighed in his heart, and beside him, the flames rose to the sky!
