Chapter 396 - 251 An Su’s Plague Apostle - Fallen Angel!
At the start of autumn, the slightly cold autumn breeze slapped against the stained-glass window, producing a soft rustling sound. Besides that, there were no other noises in the entire Druid examination room. The Druid Sorcerers were all silently staring at the pool of twisted black liquid, deeply questioning life itself.
The youth was dressed in black isolation robes resembling shrouds, his cloak trailing straight to his bare feet, wrapped in wax-soaked canvas. He wore black gloves, not revealing an inch of skin, and paired with that sinister and terrifying bird-beak mask. His blue eyes emitted a cold light in the droop, resembling an envoy of death, looking nothing like someone from the righteous path.
The forebearers of Druid Sorcerers—the Plague Doctors—were active at the end of the third century. Due to the ignorance and stubbornness of the people at the time, Plague Doctors were often confused with Plague Cultists. Moreover, with their bizarre appearance, they became rooted in cultural works and were often regarded as ominous harbingers of death.
The Druids spent many years trying to alter the public’s perception, only for it all to be potentially ruined by An Su!

Holy Water Rabies Virus...
This abstract and defiance of the heavens type of plague, how did this kid come up with it!
It managed both military and economic concerns simultaneously.
The Chaotic soldiers would die if they didn’t drink water, but would grow weak if they drank Holy Water, and also had to pay the Church money... The promotion of Holy Water among ordinary humans always faced difficulties; people back then lacked the awareness of disinfection, simply drinking from any river they encountered, which led to a massive number of deaths from various infections.
With this tool, the sales of civilian Holy Water would skyrocket.
The Orthodox Church could profit once, as could the Esoteric Sect; it was literally making a fortune!
"I always said my child was born to be a heartless profiteer of the Zibeng Family," Count Norman was very pleased with An Su’s performance, but the more pleased he was, the more it pained him, "with such talent, yet he insists on studying that useless Holy Light."
The Druid Sorcerer couldn’t say much more since, from a certain perspective, although An Su’s creation was a bit unethical, it wasn’t extraordinarily so and was indeed quite effective.
In fact, what surprised the Druid Sorcerers the most was An Su’s display of immense Druid talent.
Merging viruses and creating new ones, though this could be called a miracle, an ordinary Druid Priest could also achieve it.
However, An Su was only a prospective deacon of the Radiant Holy See, not only not a Priest, but not even from the Druid Sect!
For a fifteen-year-old child, that would be impossible.
They still didn’t know that a big reason An Su was able to complete it so quickly was because the Chaotic Saintess Luo Xiaohei was secretly assisting him; they simply thought this kid was a once-in-a-century genius of the Druid Sect.
Since he was a genius, a little unorthodoxy was acceptable.
Upon seeing potential gains, Bishop Noah even began planning how to poach An Su under his own wing...
"This child is very creative and talented," Bishop Noah said, watching the youth on the Magic Screen, "but that’s exactly it, this Holy Water plague cannot be spread on a large scale; it has a fatal flaw."
"Why?" Merlin inquired curiously of Bishop Noah, thinking An Su’s creation was quite interesting since it could make a lot of money.
"Mode of transmission," Bishop Noah seriously explained, "It can only be spread through blood, which, though a mainstream method, is slightly outdated compared to respiratory spread."
"Moreover, it lacks its own Epidemic Apostle," Bishop Noah patiently explained.
All diseases in the Nether World were blessed by the Mother Goddess, so they all had corresponding Epidemic Apostles, like the Disaster beast An Su tried to domesticate, which was the Disaster Envoy of the Chaos Virus, specifically created by Plague Sorcerers.
Without an apostle, it could not be spread on a large scale.
Under the blessing of Radiance, humans could not infect each other—this was precisely what differed from the past world.
The Chaos Virus could spread through the respiration of Disaster Envoys, which was why doctors wore bird-beak masks, but the Epidemic Apostles, which could only spread through inefficient methods like biting the host, were currently very few and not very efficient.
"This young man’s examination is likely to fail," Bishop Noah said regretfully, making a final judgment.
[Twenty minutes left until the end of the exam]
Inside room sixteen, dusk had completely fallen, and the forest outside was shrouded in silvery moonlight.
"Meow." Luo Xiaohei squatted on the mixing counter, tilting his head in a thoughtful demeanor. As the Virus Master, it had also instantly realized this problem; even though they had managed to create Holy Water Rabies, it simply could not be spread on a large scale.
Not to mention, making the death rate among Chaotic creatures higher than among normal humans.
"Meow meow," it tugged at An Su’s sleeve, asking how they should manage their Epidemic Apostle.
It needed to be related to blood.
It needed to be numerous.
It needed the ability to spread on a large scale.
Such a perfect unorthodox creature couldn’t possibly exist in this world.
"Vampires," An Su said with a smile, pointing to the fresh blood he held in his Redemption Longsword, "aren’t vampires related to blood?"
Using Vampire Nobility as Disaster Envoys?
...Not just Luo Hei, even the supervising Druid Sorcerers couldn’t keep their composure anymore.
This child had too little experience.
Not to mention that Vampire Nobility had already become extinct, even during the peak of the Blood Clan in the Chaos Dynasty era, their numbers were very scarce, and they were nobles of noble lineage. Even a Low Tier Blood Servant could own a castle; how could they possibly serve as Disaster Envoys.
What do you think?
