The sheep-headed demon patrols on the Demonic Land were still patrolling back and forth mechanically, but they did not notice at all that a strange shadow was using their shadow as a bridge, slowly approaching the Kurast Harbor step by step.
city wall.
Soon, in the shadowed corner under the city wall, a black shadow stood up from the ground, as if it suddenly ascended from a two-dimensional world to a three-dimensional world, changing from a plane to a three-dimensional human figure.
As the human figure moved slightly, the shadow covering her body quickly retracted behind her, and a beautiful female assassin with short hair in black appeared in the shadow at the corner of the city wall.
"Very good... Now all that's left is how to get in... This damn place is really uncomfortable..."
The beauty in black muttered as she took out two gold-grade steel claws from the inventory.
This isn't her main weapon, but it's pretty good for climbing walls.
Since demons and various monsters summoned by them have greatly enhanced vision at night, the best time to sneak into Kurast Harbor is during the day.
Kurast Harbor is built on the Yishui River, and almost half of the city is built on the river. The walls of this city are made of bluestone from the shore, and the foundations are blessed by druids and mages using spells and the roots of trees.
It's quite solid.
Since Kurast is the only human city located in the rainforest of the Eastern Continent, it is also the frontline fortress that monitors the movements of Trevank and the monsters in the rainforest.
Similarly, since this is the first stop for professional trials (professionals who get Mephisto's soul stone will immediately go to the Demon Fortress and perform the second step of the trial in that special space), this
All the special features allowed this port city to be continuously fortified and strengthened, and eventually turned into a bay fortress.
Therefore, its city wall is very high, even dozens of meters higher than Lu Gaoyin's huge sandstone city wall.
It is a pity that such a majestic city wall ultimately failed to stop the surprise attack by Mephisto and the people inside the city, and now it has become the biggest obstacle for humans to retake the city.
The beauty in black used steel claws to climb dexterously on the city wall. Although the bluestone of these walls had been treated to prevent climbing, that level of treatment could not stop a powerful legendary assassin.
Soon, her agile and vigorous figure jumped over the top of the city wall and once again turned into an invisible shadow and attached itself to the shadow of a group of sheep-headed demons patrolling the city wall.
Just when she thought she had successfully sneaked into the city, a black-red eyeball covered with bloodshot eyes and disgusting meridians suddenly popped out of a huge pool of blood on the inside of the city wall.
This terrifying eyeball was about the size of a window, and the white of the eye from the pupil to the surrounding area was covered with radiating bloodshot eyes.
There are many blood vessels at its bottom that connect it to the blood pool below. The blood pool is surrounded by dead corpses and horrific mummies whose blood has been drained.
As soon as the eyeball emerged from the blood pool, it suddenly turned in one direction and cast its deep and cold gaze directly on the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, a bloody light flashed on the iris of the eyeball, and a dark red ray suddenly burst out from the center of the pupil.
This ray accurately shot at the group of sheep-headed demons patrolling the city wall, and swept directly past them without stopping at all.
"Shadow Master...Hmph!"
A cold and biting hoarse snort came from under the dark gold mask of the Necromancer, and as his voice came out, the "corpse of the female assassin" nailed by a bone spear on the ground also turned into a black shadow.
Dissipated.
"Nataya, Shadow Cold Light, is truly worthy of her reputation!
But as long as the Eye of Sacrifice is there, no one can sneak into the city from under our noses! Huh!"
The necromancer glared coldly at a certain hapless barbarian who was in a state of embarrassment on the city wall, turned around, and flew back to the Kurast harbor.
After he left, under a big tree in the woods at the edge of the Demonic Land, the female assassin Nataya, known as Shadow Cold Light, slowly emerged from the shadows.
She clutched her right shoulder with a face full of pain, and traces of foul-smelling purple-black blood slowly overflowed from the place she was covering.
"This bastard old devil!" Natalya's eyes twitched, then she took out a bottle of rejuvenation potion from the inventory and drank it, preparing to wait for the wound to heal.
However, what surprised her was that the injury that originally only took a few minutes to heal completely after drinking the medicine actually showed no sign of healing for more than ten minutes.
"What's going on?!" The female assassin looked at the purple-black wound on her shoulder with a surprised face. A disgusting stench was coming from there.
"Hey... It seems I have to go back. So what exactly is the Eye of Sacrifice? Why have I never seen it on the battlefield front lines of the second world?
Mr. Omas must be informed of such a vicious power..."
