The laughter came from high in the sky, extremely far away, but it passed clearly into the ears of everyone at the venue. People subconsciously looked out through the windows of the venue, only to find that it had become dark outside the venue.
Generally dark.
With a "boom", the entire east wall of the venue collapsed, and the darkness began to spread toward the room.
In the commotion, someone shouted: "What happened? Where are the people outside? What are those mercenaries doing?"
The area shrouded in darkness responded with deathly silence.
After realizing that something was wrong, people began to attack the mysterious darkness. None of the guards of this group of rich people were weak. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of magic blasted into the darkness.
Darkness continues to expand its territory.
"e-l-e-l-y-o-h (The Most High)!"
Gottfried released a magic towards the darkness, but as always it had no effect. He quickly pulled Habiba and said: "Master, take action quickly!"
Habiba stared at the darkness nervously and wiped his sweat: "Don't be stupid! Let's run away quickly!"
"Escape?" Gottfried was stunned, "Why? There are so many of us!"
"What's the use of having more people! What we are facing is the disciple of the false Christ, the 'apostle' Clodis! We are lucky to be alive, so run away!"
——Counterfeit Christ? Apostle?
These two familiar and unfamiliar words brought back Ella's memories on the island of Antilia. She had not heard the word "apostle" for two years since Jaber's death.
Although Ella has never forgotten that there are four such magicians in the Tianfang Empire, the two years of comfortable life since defeating Ragnar have weakened the sense of oppression brought by this term.
After all, she had never faced the apostle directly.
The venue soon became commotion. In stark contrast, was the darkness that was ruthlessly devouring everything.
No one can see clearly what is in the darkness, it is pure black, even worse than the night.
No one can stop the spread of darkness. It seems to be nothingness, but it seems to have weight. The wind blows on it, like hitting a solid wall; the fire burns on it, but it feels like falling into something.
In the deep valley where there is nothing.
It is extremely quiet. No matter how loud a person's voice is, once he is enveloped in the black mist, his voice is instantly silenced. No matter how loud his companions shout outside, they will not get any reply.
One can no more stop it from spreading than one can stop day from turning into night.
More and more people chose to run away. They rushed to the door of the venue on the other side. Ella followed the crowd and took a step, but reluctantly gritted her teeth and stopped, turning back to glare at the darkness.
How could she show her ugly face in front of Tianfang Empire, the biggest enemy?
At this time, Ella calmed down. She chose a seat and sat down, looking down at the people on the high platform who were desperately trying to escape. In order to get out of that road first, they pushed and pulled,
If someone falls down unfortunately, he will be trampled to death by the people following him.
She looked at the ugly crowd and pondered something.
It wasn't until the darkness was about to touch her that Ella stood up and walked down step by step at the same speed as the darkness spread.
In fact, the darkness did not spread very quickly. Judging from the size of the exit and the number of people inside the venue, if it was safe outside, everyone would be able to escape.
Ella figured this out.
If anyone looked up at this moment, they would be surprised by the calmness shown by this girl, and would mistakenly think that she was controlling the darkness behind her.
However, soon, the crowd poured back from the exit.
"Don't come this way!" The people who came back shouted at the door, "There are all these dark things outside!"
After hearing such a sound, Ella turned back and stared into the darkness.
And the darkness stared at her.
For some reason, when looking at the darkness, Ella thought of the dark void that enveloped the sun, moon and stars. It quietly drew a dividing line between heaven and man in the venue, and continued to draw this dividing line towards the venue.
Moving forward.
People huddled around the round platform, looking fearfully at the unstoppable darkness. Some were crying, some were screaming, and some were kneeling down to beg for forgiveness.
But Ella felt an incomparable sense of intimacy from the darkness. She stretched out her hand, intending to touch it.
Darkness enveloped her.
Ella felt the weight coming from the void, pressing her down and making her breathless.
But when she raised her head, she saw the celestial spheres more clearly than ever before.
She saw Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes, Cronus, and Zeus. These celestial spheres revolved slowly around her, telling some kind of hidden and mysterious story.
Laws that do exist.
She saw the movement of the celestial sphere. Outside the celestial sphere, there was a layer of darkness moving in the opposite direction. Ella knew that it was the prime mover, and it was precisely because of it that the celestial sphere would go retrograde at certain moments.
This is the law of the universe revealed to the world by Ptolemy, an astronomer who lived in the Seven Hills Empire more than 800 years ago.
It is under this harmonious order that the celestial sphere has revolved around the world unchanged for thousands of years.
Ella forgot her own danger and sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful."
"It's so beautiful, huh?"
An old man suddenly appeared in front of Ella. He was wearing the traditional toga robe of the Seven Hills Empire and a red hat. He came to Ella, looked at Ella up and down, and asked with interest
road:
"Are you not afraid of the stars at all?"
…
Gregory watched all this in an inconspicuous corner. He knew very well that the darkness itself was not dangerous. As long as Clodis had no murderous intention, after the darkness dissipated, those who disappeared in the darkness would wake up one after another.
bring it on.
He had no reason to stop Clodis. Gregory could only think of one reason why Clodis would come here, and that was the "Chariot Technique".
Gregory no longer has any expectations for Habiba, Gottfried and other members of the Ancient Church of Abraham. Since all knowledge will ultimately be found in "Chariot Techniques for Ascending to Heaven", he does not continue to hide himself
Magic is necessary.
Even if Clodius did not appear, Gregory was already ready to take action on the book, but Clodius took action and saved his trouble.
There were still those who were unwilling to give up and continued to release magic against the darkness. The poor level of magic made Gregory shake his head repeatedly. Clodis was immortal, and as far as Gregory knew, there was no such thing in the world.
What kind of magic can get rid of him? He just hopes that Clodis can move more swiftly. Judging from the current slow spread speed, Clodis is just playing around.
However, at this moment, an old man holding a snake staff suddenly walked tremblingly in front of the box containing the "Chariot Climbing Technique" and protected it with his body.
