A few minutes ago, in a intact building outside the town, the light was dim, and the magic lamp cast a swaying shadow on the wall.

August Kellaser and Wes Kellaser stood side by side, nervously staring at the magic looking glass ball on the table.

Both of them were wearing bright red wizard robes, and the hems of the robes were slightly stained with mud, indicating that they came in a hurry.

The wands in their hands are exquisite and ancient, with dancing flames burning at the top. As their emotions fluctuate, the brightness of the flames waxes and wanes.

August's face was slightly pale. He was in his early forties and had falcon-like eyes and tight lips. His whole person exuded an unquestionable majesty.

Weiss was slightly thinner, with a long and narrow face, a high nose, and slender fingers. He looked like a meditative scholar when holding the wand, but his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner uneasiness.

The picture that appeared in the magic ball of the looking glass frightened the two of them.

When they saw the young man with blond hair and golden eyes stepping into the town, August took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the wand in his hand, making his fingertips turn white.

"Lord of the Abyss..."

August murmured in a low voice, his voice as weak as if it was covered by the wind and snow, but it revealed a deep fear.

Weiss's brows furrowed, and his voice trembled with reluctance:

"He's already here. We don't have much time. We can only take a gamble and give Balrog more fuel to hold him back!"

August nodded, and the two of them raised their wands almost at the same time. The spell sounded low in the air, and the flame on the top of the wand jumped suddenly, blooming with a dazzling brilliance like a ignited volcano.

In the picture of the magic ball in the looking glass, the Balrogs suddenly grew several times stronger, burned even more fiercely, and rushed towards the blond young man with infinite anger.

"He may be strong, but no one can crack the abnormal mechanism of Balrog in a short time."

Weiss murmured in a low voice: "Even our Kailasel family spent a lot of time and a lot of research supplies to finally study and control the method of Balrog."

August also said:

"Time is still too hasty. Only the mixed-blood mudblood Eveli was the only successful experimental subject for abnormal weaponization. The other experimental subjects were devoured by the Balrog and the Eternal Fire.

Damn it, if we are given enough time, we will be able to complete the first abnormal weapons project belonging to the Hundred-layer World with the help of the [Marshall Recovery Plan].

With this project, we will have a bargaining chip with the local forces of Terra... Damn it, Heaven chose to come in when we were developing the ruins.

The silver-robed wizards of the Iserys family are indeed unreliable, and they actually attracted the most disgusting person in heaven."

While the two were talking, their eyes were fixed on the picture in the looking glass.

Although they didn't think that the Balrog could cause much harm to the Dark Lord, there shouldn't be any problem in intercepting the opponent... right?

In the next second, in the picture of the looking glass magic ball, the Balrog was rushing towards the blond young man, but then, the young man gently raised a finger.

Then - everything in the picture started to change.

They expected a fierce battle but it did not appear. In the looking glass, the Balrog's burning suddenly became more intense, its size doubled, and its momentum even became more violent.

Fifty two-meter-high flame forms, like a legion emerging from hell, roared towards the young man.

However, it was just a blink in their eyes.

Their bodies swayed slightly, and the next moment, the picture in the looking glass changed drastically.

The Balrogs that were charging violently all stagnated in place. Then, the flames like the flames of hell suddenly broke at the waist. The upper and lower parts of the flame body seemed to be completely separated by some invisible force and scattered in all directions.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and August and Weiss looked at each other.

"What's going on?!" Weiss exclaimed, her voice trembling with fear.

"The Balrog...divided?"

August also felt incredible, but he had no time to think about it.

In the looking glass, the blond young man raised his wand, and the Balrog, which was extremely difficult to deal with in their eyes, was tamed in an instant.

Weiss's face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear and confusion.

He seemed to have difficulty accepting the facts he saw, and his voice trembled:

"The Balrog... was... surrendered like this?"

August also looked solemn and frowned deeply.

His eyes were fixed on the image of the blond young man in the magic ball, trying to find some clues.

But the young man's calm demeanor and relaxed posture after victory were simply the final blow to their psychological defenses.

"He's scarier than we thought."

August's voice was low, with a trace of helplessness and fear that was difficult to conceal.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, his eyes became more gloomy, and he said coldly:

"It seems that Master Severian's plan to break open the crystal wall must be accelerated.

We can only accept the condition that the Iseryth family jointly develop the relics and abnormal weapons projects.

Only in this way can the Dark Lord's interference in the Hundred Layer World be restrained..."

His voice gradually became lower, but it carried a desperate calmness.

However, just before August finished speaking, a sudden voice sounded from behind them.

"Oh, I'm very curious about the abnormal weapon project and the Iserys family that you said can restrain me."

The voice was gentle and clear, as if it had a warm meaning that was like a spring breeze, but it made people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Can you tell me where they are now?"

This voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting both of their hearts.

Weiss's body suddenly shook, his pupils shrank violently, and his whole figure froze as if a restraining spell had been cast.

His face lost all color in an instant, and cold sweat fell down his forehead in large drops. The same was true of August, whose eyes were filled with unbelievable horror.

They turned their heads stiffly, their movements slow and stiff, as if they were afraid of seeing some unbearable horror.

Sure enough, when they turned around, the blond young man who was supposed to be still in the looking glass magic ball was standing elegantly behind them.

The familiar blond hair shimmered in the sunlight under the light, and the golden eyes were like two cold moons, looking at them with a hint of interesting smile.

What's even more frightening is that a small flame is jumping on the young man's shoulder. The flame is obviously small, and it is obviously the Balrog that they just spent a huge price to activate.

"Why, aren't you happy to see me?"

Xia Xiu's voice was still gentle and gentle, but it made the two of them feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

He tilted his head slightly, with a questioning look in his smile.

"You...how did you..." Weiss' lips trembled, unable to speak complete words.

His legs were so weak that he could hardly stand still, and the wand in his hand shook slightly out of fear.

August forced himself to calm down and tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, but his voice was still trembling:

"How...did you get here?"

Is this important?" Xia Xiu asked instead without answering. He patted the flame on his shoulder gently, as if comforting a pet, "The point is, I'm here, isn't it?"

Xia Xiu's smile was full of teasing, and his golden pupils narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light.

His eyes swept over the two of them, as if he was examining prey.

Then, his tone became slightly more serious, with unquestionable majesty:

"Now, tell me, where is the Iserys family and where is the abnormal weapons project?"

This sentence seemed to ignite the last fuse in the hearts of the two of them. Weiss and August's eyes converged at the same time, with determination and hostility as if they were facing the abyss. Without any unnecessary nonsense, they quickly entered a fighting state.

.

The air suddenly became heavy, and the surrounding environment seemed to be infected by some invisible force in an instant.

Their bodies began to twist, and the power of the Named One that resided in them from Lancelot's corpse began to spurt out.

Two demonic shadows appeared behind them. These shadows came from the blasphemous power of the original demon Lancelot. When they appeared, signs similar to Lancelot's corpse began to appear around them every second.

High-frequency Ether pollution with tens of billions [Ether floating point efficiency].

Their bodies began to undergo amazing changes.

Weiss's demon is named [Snake Riding Herdsman].

When the named person was liberated, a strong force of blasphemy surged out of his body, and as the surrounding air twisted, a huge half-human, half-snake shadow emerged.

The shadow's torso is covered with fine scales, and the surface of these scales is constantly changing shapes, sometimes like a wandering snake shadow, sometimes like a blazing flame.

His right arm twisted and deformed, turning into a long whip made of living snakes.

These snakes entangled, bit, and hissed harshly, and finally condensed into a whip shadow that could tear the air.

His left arm was as if it was cast in a furnace. The dark red metal surface was scorching hot. Every time he waved it, there was a burning aura, burning everything around him.

Behind the shepherd demon hangs a cloak woven with flames. The cloak seems to be a flowing flame, insubstantial but never dissipated. Every time it flutters, it draws the fiery breath that fills the air, intimidating all directions.

August’s demon is named [Out-of-control Demonic Tree].

When the named person was liberated, the center of his body split open and turned into a thick tree trunk.

Countless branches spread out from the trunk, and each branch was filled with gorgeous flowers and strange fruits.
