The game has become a real alternate world

Gray Furnace Castle.

Inside the medical institution.

This stone-built structure finally has a ceiling higher than the typical dwarf architecture.

This way, even with Kana and others inside, they wouldn't accidentally hit the ceiling due to their height.

However, for Raelia and her similarly tall race, it's just barely enough.

As for the other dwarf buildings, the two of them shouldn't even think about going inside; even bending over would be troublesome for them.

They are currently in the medical institution of Gray Furnace Castle, and in front of them is a bed made of steel.

On the sickbed is an unconscious dwarf, the same Totesai who fought with Kana earlier.

After that battle, they urgently brought Totesai all the way to Gray Furnace Castle.

Although Kana knows why this situation happened, he didn't directly reveal his knowledge and came along normally without asking too many questions.

At this moment, the dwarf's limbs are bound by thick chains, such treatment for an unconscious patient is clearly not typical of the dwarves.

Beside Kana and the others is the long-lost Lurik.

He was the first to rush over after receiving the news.

Looking at the arriving Kana, Lurik glanced once more at the unconscious and bound Totesai on the sickbed.

He sighed: "Ah, I should have thought of this earlier; Totesai is probably among those most easily influenced."

Then he turned his head to look at Kana and the others: "It's truly embarrassing for you guests to encounter such a situation."

Kana didn't mind these words, casually waving them off while looking at Totesai on the sickbed instead.

He asked, "What's wrong with him? It seems clear he's been influenced by something.

Awakened with a desire to fight, trapped in the urge to battle, unable to extricate himself."

Hearing this, Lurik sighed again and nodded: "As expected of you, you guessed very accurately. Just as you thought, he's been influenced by some desire, deeply trapped in combat, unable to pull himself out.

It's not just him; many dwarves have shown this condition in recent days.

They have now awoken but were forcibly confined to the underground prison. Otherwise, leaving them unattended would be too dangerous."

Ah, so that's how it is.

Though Kana had anticipated this while fighting Totesai, he couldn't help but frown when he confirmed it was true.

Clearly, this was another unexpected situation for him.

One that, upon reflection, makes perfect sense.

Indeed, the butterfly's slight flutter produced an impact far greater than he anticipated.

Especially in this situation.

Kana had guessed beforehand that due to his influence, the dwarves might face attacks from the Blood Race, or perhaps interference from the Evil God they previously repelled.

Who knew he only guessed half right, and that the arrival was of the "Beheader," one he hadn't expected to appear so early.

Many prefer to call this Evil God the "Decapitator," as the name suggests, both this Evil God and its followers' most notable mark is that any tragedy they commit, the victims will undoubtedly be beheaded.

Furthermore, whether it's their followers or various organizations, the tragedies they cause result in extensive deaths, with skulls stacked in piles.

Their worship of their god involves various skulls and grisly, gory scenes.

This is undoubtedly an Evil God, and it's clear this is a confirmed, invading Evil God from the outside world.

The level is roughly the same as the "Rotting Monarch."

Not at the top, but definitely considered quite powerful.

At this time, Lurik continued: "Just a few days ago, north of Gray Mountain, in a forested area, there's a new goblin encampment that recently migrated there.

But when Eric and the others…"

As Lurik briefly explained the situation over the past few days.

Everyone finally understood the situation the dwarves are facing now.

Simply put, it's similar to when they were previously cursed by the plague; they've been affected once again.

And this time, compared to the plague curse, it's even more unpredictable, with no signs and the impact on the affected dwarves is even more severe.

Out of nowhere, dwarves would find themselves overwhelmed by combat desire in certain situations, and sink deeper, attacking indiscriminately when they can't pull back anymore.

"Sorry, you've encountered such a situation as soon as you arrived."

Hearing this, Kana smiled instead and said: "No, no, actually, I arrived just in time. I do have some understanding of such a curse."

"Really?!" Lurik was somewhat surprised.

Although they understand where the influence on the dwarves comes from and the reasons behind it, the problem is they can't prevent it, nor can they identify the potential victims.

Let alone how to lift this influence.

Kana nodded; he wasn't joking.

He's even a bit relieved; thankfully, he arrived early. If he had come later, by then he wouldn't even see the Gray Mountain Dwarves.

Only possibly protecting the remaining dwarf refugees.

"If that's the case, come with me, there happen to be two others who wish to meet you."
