"This is really uncomfortable." Bunduk had a painful expression on his face.
Kant, who was under the protection of the inner side, narrowed his eyes. He had already seen Bunduk's uneasiness. He could not help but frown and ask, "Bunduk, how is your situation?"
"It's a little uncomfortable." Bunduk frowned and said softly, "It's like being roasted in a blacksmith's shop."
Kant frowned. He looked at Bunduk's restless appearance as he bathed in the divine domain. With a thought, he withdrew the divine domain beside him, exposing him to the black fog that was spreading in the outside world.
However, Bunduk's entire body was wrapped in the black fog. There was no negative effect to him. Instead, it was like he was in a comfortable environment. He took a deep breath, causing the black fog to wrap around his entire body even more tightly, he shouted in a relaxed manner, "Lord Kant, I feel... very comfortable!"
"As expected."
Kant narrowed his eyes. The thought in his heart had already been confirmed.
Beside him, the Sarleon Lion Knights frowned. The faces under the masks were very shocked. Some of them even rode their horses to Kant's side, they reported softly, "My lord, the appearance of Bunduk seemed to be affected by the power of the underworld... perhaps he has fallen..."
"Fallen?" Kant stared at Bunduk, who was sitting on a horse in front of him, with his arms open as if he was bathing.
"Yes, if we don't deal with him in time, he will become a fallen knight."
The Lion Knights nodded.
As members of the strongest national knights in the Kingdom of Sarleon, they were naturally well-informed.
The Pendor Continent was not without danger.
The demons of the underworld always wanted to invade this world and plunder the souls of all living beings.
Some of the people with low moral character, corrupted morals, or tempted by evil forces would be corrupted into fallen knights and become the lackeys of the underworld. They would slaughter wantonly to welcome the invaders of the underworld and spread fear.

Kant knew this very well.
After all, this was the setting of the game, and he knew the inside story very well.
"Wait." Kant shook his head and did not give any orders.
He could sense that Bunduk was still loyal to him. This was a loyalty that came from the soul, from the level of the rules.
Even if the black fog wrapped around Bunduk, causing a dangerous aura to appear all over his body, his loyalty to Kant could not be changed, this was because the power of the black fog was not enough to change the rules!
However, the Lion Knights held their knight swords tightly and rode their horses in front of Kant to protect him.
They looked at Bunduk solemnly.
Even the Desert Bandits felt that something was wrong. They all shrunk their heads and pulled out their scimitars and spears nervously. They gripped their reins tightly and rode their horses.
The thin black fog became thicker and thicker. It even extended out like long tentacles.
It coiled around Bunduk.
An evil aura filled the air, and Bunduk's voice was slightly hoarse. His breathing became extremely heavy, as if he had undergone a metamorphosis!
"This... powerful... power!" Bunduk roared.
His entire body was filled with black fog, and it surged into his body.
The evil aura circulated, and the warhorse under him was enveloped by the black fog as well. It also let out a beast-like roar, making the underground city walls of the karst cave become even stranger and more terrifying.

[ Ding... side quest issued ]
[ Side quest: Fallen ]
[ Reward: Oath of the Underworld ]
[ Introduction: Evil is circulating, evil is growing, his past character is declining, his pride and honor is fading. Choose the person who has been infused with the evil aura, and let him believe in the power of the Underworld! ]
Side quest from the system.
However, Kant's eyes flashed, and he directly chose Bunduk. "It's him!"
The data stream instantly appeared in the void.
Like a chain, it instantly restrained Bunduk who was roaring including the warhorse beneath him.
The roaring continued, and the black fog around Bunduk and the warhorse became denser, as if they had been stimulated even more intensely. Their entire bodies began to struggle, trying their best to get rid of the data chain all over their bodies.
However, from the level of rules, it could be seen as the system data was formed from the gathering of countless worlds. How could the individual strength of a mere Bunduk and the warhorse be able to shake it?
If it were the gods of this world, it would be more like it!
The data chain instantly engulfed the black fog and Bunduk, and a large amount of data streams instantly poured in.
In front of Kant, the Sarleon Lion Knights raised their kite-shaped shields. Each of them gritted their teeth and guarded in front. However, no matter how the black fog scattered in all directions and tried to attack or escape, it was unable to escape the encirclement of the layers of data streams.
Soon, the data streams and data chain had locked the black fog into the bodies of Bunduk and the warhorse.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})[ Ding... After your tireless efforts, the temporary side quest has been completed. ]
[ Temporary side Quest: 'Fallen' completed. ]
[ Reward: Oath of the Underworld. ]
[ Introduction: Bunduk was lured by evil and obtained the power from the underworld. At this time, he is no longer the captain of the crossbowmen. Instead, he has transformed into an intruder of the underworld and become the spokesperson of the underworld in this world. ]
The data stream disappeared.
The black fog also disappeared.
Bunduk was riding on his warhorse. He lowered his head and seemed to be deep in thought.
The Lion Knights around him had a drastic change in expression. They gritted their teeth in anger and said, "My lord, he has completely fallen. He has become the lackey of the underworld. He is an intruder of the underworld against the Pendor Continent. He is an enemy!"
"No, I am the lackey of Lord Kant. I am an apostle sent by the Underworld to serve Lord Kant!"
However, a voice with objection appeared.
The voice was hoarse and deep. Bunduk slowly raised his head and turned his horse around. His ruby-like eyes were sparkling, he bowed respectfully to Kant and said, "No matter what, you are the supreme lord that I admire greatly and have chosen to serve!"
Following Bunduk's words, a dialog box popped up in Kant's eyes.
[ Ding... system prompt ]
[ Congratulations, your General Bunduk has absorbed the power of the underworld and obtained a transformation. ]
[ The captain of the crossbowmen, Bunduk, has indeed transformed into... the Underworld Apostle Bunduk! ]
[ Bunduk (Underworld Apostle): Obtained the power of the underworld and has chosen to serve Kant as a loyal general. Special effect 1) the Gift of the Underworld: Increases physical fitness by 200% and ignores all negative buffs and diseases. Special effect 2) Plunder from the Underworld: Kill enemies and absorb their souls to replenish vitality and recover injuries. Special effect 3) Invasion from the Underworld: Open the Void Gate once a day and summon one team of underworld intruders. ]
An extremely detailed data appeared on the dialog box.
Kant slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Bunduk who bowed his head respectfully. The corners of his mouth curled up. "Very good, Bunduk. Your strength is exactly what I need."
