Warlock of the Magus World Chapter 1085 to end.

WMW Chapter 1146 to 1160

Extermination

*Bang!* Under the eyes of numerous helpless onlookers, desperation surfaced in the duke's eyes. However, their legendary might was all for naught as his body suddenly exploded, flesh and blood scattering as the corrosive pus covering the barrier almost caused Alustriel and the rest to puke.

"To kill a duke right in front of us... This is a serious provocation!" A solemn look surfaced on Elminster's face. He was disappointed that he hadn't been able to identify the enemy from the duke's eyes, and soon that solemnity was replaced by infinite fear. The duke was a legendary wizard himself, and he was killed so easily. What about everyone in the hall right now?

"Report!" a high-ranked wizard staggered in, the panic noticeable on his face.

"What's wrong?" Elminster asked with a frown, overstepping Alustriel's authority.

"Earl Eric, Chekov, Viscount Agar, and even Dorwick and Lady Merida... We just received news that they're all dead!" The hall grew completely silent in an instant, and everyone stared blankly at the spot where the legendary duke had exploded.

'That is to say... everyone in Silverymoon carrying his bloodline was eliminated in an instant?' Elminster felt a sudden chill in the air, invading his very soul.

......

"It seems like the bloodline curses from the Magus World work quite well..." Leylin withdrew his gaze. Even those with legendary might could not withstand his rage, and despite numerous powerful existences surrounding him the duke had died. This was the terror of the Magus World! With the extinction of all of the duke's blood, Leylin had announced to the influences and gods with the north that he'd arrived.

......

"This is clearly provoking us!" Seeing the unending stream of death reports from the frenetic city, an unperturbed look appeared on Rafiniya's face. However, this was obviously the calm before the storm.

Everyone related by blood to the legendary duke had perished without reason, and the terrifying sights of their deaths had astonished all of New Silverymoon. Adding up the clones and true bodies as well as the descendants of the legendary duke and his family, there were hundreds within Silverymoon. Furthermore, numerous family members had perished in the sight of the general public.

The disturbance caused by event allowed other villains and adventurers with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation, causing the chaos to intensify. To Rafiniya, who'd been entrusted with maintaining public order, this was an insult to her job, a shame that could never be removed!

"Dispatch the paladins to assist the garrison in stabilising the situation!" Numerous solemn paladins rushed out of the church, causing all wild schemes to fall apart in an instant. However, the vague moans of lament within the gradually recovering city caused Rafiniya's expression to grow even more heavy.

'A curse with hundreds of victims... If we can't capture the culprit, I won't be able to account to the Queen and other citizens who trusted me...' Rafiniya swiftly started to speculate about the true mastermind. 'Was the culprit an enemy of the duke? A wizard trying to collect souls, or an evil god trying to spread fear?'

Rafiniya knew fully well that if this incident was related to a god it would become an extremely huge problem. However, the ideal of justice in her heart would not allow her to back down.

"Rafiniya!" A cardinal said as he walked towards her, his face drooping with gloom. "We just received word that another family at the Ironsword Castle met its end, the symptoms the exact same as the duke's family..."
