Standing in the safe area, watching the city in front of me being destroyed bit by bit along with its residents.
It looked like the bustling streets of the past were slowly turning into ruins with no trace of their original shape.
The city lord who betrayed his country, his city, his subordinates, and his relatives and friends couldn't explain what he was thinking, and his mood was inexplicably complicated.
Maybe there is a little bit of regret and a little bit of self-blame.
But no matter what he was thinking at the moment, everything was irreversible.
The things he was supposed to protect had disappeared with the attacks of the abyss demons.
"Are you sad?"
A voice full of malice appeared in his ears.
The source of the sound was a figure with a falcon head and a scorpion tail.
The city lord replied indifferently: "So what?"
"Jiejiejie~"
The other party smiled and shook his head:
"I just think it's ridiculous.
Didn't you take the initiative to contact us?
The culprit of all this is yourself.
What do you still regret now?"
Having said this, he looked at the scene of the city's gradual collapse and continued happily: "The pain, choices, and greed of you mortals. No matter how many times I have seen it, I still find it extremely interesting.
It’s far more interesting than the so-called drama.”
"..."
Seeing that the city lord didn't want to talk to him, he didn't care much and said casually: "According to the contract, the three of us will give you two plans. One, we will introduce you to the leader of the invasion of the Seven Seas Plane.
The organization [Coloroa Chamber of Commerce], two, we will introduce you to the main participant involved in this invasion, and the [Higher Demon] who summoned us to this plane."
The reason why the city lord sold this city to them.
To put it simply, it is to see that this plane has become meat on other people's chopping boards with the passing of the gods.
As a last resort, I can only sell all my accumulation in the first half of my life to find a way out for my future.
And now, as the biggest beneficiary and the representative of the three [Medium Demons], the eagle-headed demon gave the city owner two choices.
Faced with these two choices, the city lord frowned and confirmed: "One is an organization and the other is an individual?"
The eagle-headed demon said with great interest: "That's right. There is no essential difference in their status. You can choose one of the two."
Although the city lord didn't know the specific circumstances of these two choices, he felt the unabashed malice from the other party.
The other party is expecting him to choose the bad option.
Or, in other words, those two options are actually not very good?
He was a little unsure about this.
But according to the Abyss Contract, the opportunities they give themselves must be the kind that as long as they get ahead, they can obtain a higher level of status than before.
And there can be no deliberate intention to let him die, and the most basic thing is to ensure his safety.
Faced with these two options that didn't even have a basic introduction, he made a decision after thinking about it.
"I choose the first one, [Coloroa Chamber of Commerce]."
After all, it is a chamber of commerce.
Since it is possible to organize plane invasions, there should be no problem with strength and organization. If you join it, you may not have the opportunity to experience other planes.
As for the upper-level demons, after he understood what the middle-level demons were, he no longer had any expectations.
I guess they are also a bunch of lunatics.
After hearing the city lord's answer, the eagle-headed demon's face was filled with disappointment.
"Is that so? I originally wanted to see how you can get along with a high-level demon."
Seeing the disappointment on the other party's face, the city lord immediately felt that he had chosen the right answer.
In fact, this was indeed the case, and he successfully avoided a choice that had a high probability of causing his sudden death.
—————
Half an hour later.
Standing up and looking at the completely destroyed scene around her, Orshiga asked Alison: "Have you not finished reading yet?"
In the city at this moment, not to mention the living people, there are not even a few floor tiles left.
The entire area immediately turned into a pool of swamp-like mud.
All kinds of substances dissolved into slurry by force gathered together, and from time to time they emitted bursts of peculiar smell, which made people feel a little disgusting.
At the same time, other local forces who received the news finally rushed over belatedly, and the rescue team gradually emerged from the distant skyline.
Alison, who didn't want to deal with them, withdrew her gaze and nodded to Orshiga: "After reading, let's go."
He immediately opened the space door, and the three of them walked in unhurriedly.
Facing their departure, those who were approaching quickly had ugly expressions.
The moment the space door was opened, they tried to use force to interfere and force it to close.
After all, you can leave as you please in front of so many people. Don’t you want to lose face?
But those moves failed without exception.
It truly proves that they really have no face.
In their perception, the other party's power is simply like the hardest rock, completely unable to be shaken by themselves and others.
Seeing that the space door was closed, a middle-aged woman wearing armor asked with an ugly face: "Who was that just now? Is it a demon?"
An old man wearing a mage's robe next to her replied: "I don't know, two of the women should be elves, and the other guy who opened the space door with his tail may be a demon..."
There was one thing he didn't say, which was that it was fortunate that the other party was gone, otherwise everyone present might have died.
Just when he felt the strength of the space door opened by the other party, his heart went cold, and he felt as if he had delivered something to his door.
Fortunately, the other party didn't even bother to look at me and the others.
They simply ignored their behavior.
It's like an elephant being hit by a mosquito, it doesn't even feel it.
———
After taking some time to search around every corner of the area and confirming that there were no more survivors, a rescuer asked others: "What should we do next?"
After some discussion.
Faced with the large pile of thick slurry that was emitting a foul odor, they decided to use the power of magic to bury it.
It didn't take long.
A huge mound appeared there, and druids planted various magical plants with purifying effects on it.
Otherwise, the highly toxic and corrosive slurry below will cause the surrounding land to become completely necrotic, making it impossible to grow any crops.
At this point, an originally prosperous city completely disappeared.
And things like this are happening every day recently.
The abyss demons, who are approaching the time limit, are not satisfied with the current harvest and are frantically hunting all creatures they can prey on.
The dead in this city can only be considered part of the entire disaster.
Except for residents living in the surrounding areas, perhaps no one will remember what happened to them in a few years.
In the end, it became a once-in-a-lifetime event in history.
