My Computer Leads to an Instance Dungeon - Chapter 233 - 185: The Battle’s Aftermath
Gwendolyn was still reeling from the shock of Tos's revelation. In her moment of distraction, Tos had already lunged onto the edge of her sword.
The Single-Edged Sword pierced through Tos's throat.
Soon, the Whig Society traitor—who had been on the verge of shedding his human identity, only to become more lost at the final moment—drew his last breath, the light fading from his eyes.
"Tos!"
A pained expression appeared on Gwendolyn's face. She was deeply saddened.
In truth, Gwendolyn's role within the Whig Society was akin to that of a matriarch. Even though Tos was in his forties or fifties, in Gwendolyn's eyes, he was still like a little brother.
Tos had gone down the wrong path, and his eventual death by Gwendolyn's sword was a truly lamentable affair.
The atmosphere suddenly turned somber.
Even the sharp-tongued Karen didn't offer any callous remarks, merely sighing.
Fang Zhen took it all in.
He didn't know if Tos had truly seen the error of his ways in the end, but he made a mental note of the fact that the Eternal Night Council was planning to purge the Whig Society.
He had previously suspected that Tos's betrayal of the Whig Society and the leaking of vital information might be the trigger for the third act of the Curse Seal World. Now, it seemed all but certain.
The members of the Whig Society were all grieving, but Fang Zhen felt little emotion.
After all, he wasn't part of the Whig Society and had no connection to Tos. It was only natural that he remained emotionally detached.
Jilenna walked over to Fang Zhen's side.
"I didn't realize you were so good with words."
"I get the feeling you talked that guy Tos to death," Jilenna said.
Fang Zhen chuckled. "Thanks for the compliment."
He chose to take it as praise.
'Back in my hometown,' he thought, 'the last master who talked an opponent to death on the battlefield is now a legend in the history books. You can still see him starring in all sorts of meme videos online.'
Jilenna rolled her expressive eyes. "I'll have to be careful around you from now on."
"Your mouth is practically an enchanted weapon."
Just then, Gwendolyn let out a long sigh and stood up.
"This is truly lamentable, but we don't have time to mourn."
"The Whig Society's leadership doesn't know about the Eternal Night Council's purge plan yet. I need to deliver this news to the council personally and inform them of what happened in the Ellick Territory, as well as the truth about the Vampire Count," Gwendolyn said.
Fang Zhen nodded.
"Let's go. But before we leave, there's one more thing to do," Fang Zhen said.
"Master, Laura, do you have any Blood Burst Secret Medicine ointment on you? Give it all to me," he said.
Gwendolyn, who was closest to him, took out a vial from her waist, while Laura produced a half-full bottle of Blood Burst Secret Medicine ointment from between her ample breasts.
Fang Zhen ignored Karen's murderous glare and took the ointments from Laura and Gwendolyn.
"It's time to completely destroy this vampire's nest." With that, he walked over to the collapsed section of the stone wall, where the giant heart was exposed.
He brandished the long spear in his hand, sweeping it left and right.
The spear's blade was exceptionally sharp and double-edged. The Magic Flame had not yet dissipated, and it instantly sliced a large gash into the giant heart, setting it ablaze.
Fang Zhen took out the vials of Blood Burst Secret Medicine ointment and threw them forcefully.
The gash on the giant heart was wide, and the vials of Blood Burst Secret Medicine sailed into the wound.
In one go, he threw three vials of Blood Burst Secret Medicine inside.
The giant heart continued to throb. Inside, the Blood Burst Secret Medicine acted like a time-release capsule, spreading its components throughout the castle's other organic tissues as it pumped blood.
Soon, in the artificial wombs closest to the giant heart, the blood began to change violently.
The fluid inside the artificial wombs started to boil, and the soulless infant bodies within began to rapidly mutate and warp.
In an instant, the embryonic husks in the artificial wombs started to dissolve, showing signs of boiling and exploding.
Not only that, but a chain reaction started within the walls of the entire hall. Something was swelling, growing enormous, and about to collapse.
Fang Zhen was actually a bit surprised.
'It seems Ellick undertook a massive project while he was alive, turning the entire Ancient Castle into a giant living organism composed of aberrant tissue.'
And now, with the Blood Burst Secret Medicine introduced into this living body, the entire Ancient Castle was on the verge of collapse.
Without a second thought, Fang Zhen turned and ran.
Jilenna didn't know what was happening, but being simple-minded, she followed his lead and ran too.
Gwendolyn was still lost in her grief over Tos's death, but the Ancient Castle was clearly about to fall apart.
"Master, don't just stand there, run!"
"Don't get buried here with Ellick!"
Fang Zhen shouted, not slowing his pace in the slightest.
"You're running so fast, wait for me!" Karen yelled in a panic. She quickly hefted her greatsword, called out to Laura, and began to flee for her life as well.
Gwendolyn let out a long breath, hoisted Tos's body onto her shoulder, and charged out of the Ancient Castle with the others.
「Five or six minutes later.」
Fang Zhen and the others escaped the Ancient Castle one after another.
Gwendolyn, carrying Tos's body, was the last one out.
Not long after Gwendolyn emerged, the Ancient Castle behind them collapsed with a deafening roar. Dust and rubble flew everywhere, and a violent tremor shook the very ground.
The violent tremor was so intense that the ordinary castle soldiers playing dead in the outer plaza could no longer keep up the act.
Many of the soldiers scrambled to their feet, jogging quickly to dodge the flying pebbles and chunks of stone.
Seeing the soldiers get up, Jilenna tightened her grip on her greatsword, looking like she was about to charge in and go on a rampage.
