The carriages were crowded together, the merchants were cursing, and the city gate was still closed, but Leier's heart could not calm down.
She had a feeling that something big was going to happen, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
Leer got off the carriage and looked back at the driver: "Please take care of the people inside."
"Miss? I'll go too...ahem!!"
Greno, the white-haired butler, was about to step out of the carriage, but was stopped by Rael: "No, your injury has not healed yet. I just went to evacuate the crowd to avoid accidents."
There were a few wrinkles on Greno's weathered face, and he seemed to realize that he could no longer help her.
"Then I understand, you have to be careful."
"Um."
Hearing this, she nodded to the coachman, who nodded knowingly, and then drove the carriage away.
Walking through the long queue, Rael showed a determined expression.
The locked door and the barrier that had been activated for more than half an hour proved the seriousness of the matter. Although she didn't know what happened inside, it was definitely not a good thing.
There were no guards in front of the city gate, and the place was crowded with merchants. She suddenly jumped up, flew in mid-air, and appeared in front of everyone.
"I am a special representative of the Adventurer's Guild. According to the laws of each empire, once the city barrier is activated, no one is allowed to approach the city gate. So, please leave here immediately!"
She shouted loudly, and the noisy merchants looked at her and shouted: "This place is not under the control of the Adventurer's Guild!"
"We're going to town!"
"My deal is today. If I can't get into the city, I will starve to death!"
Businessmen are not a group of obedient people. They don't take Rael seriously at all. Rich businessmen usually hire magic bodyguards. Rael has no way of scaring them away with just a few tricks. On the contrary,
It will attract the attention of the bodyguards. They are eager to show themselves off in order to ask for higher rewards.
Therefore, it would be difficult for Rael to evacuate this group of people by herself.
However, at this moment, there was a bang and the city gate opened a small gap from bottom to top.
"It's open!"
“Finally willing to open the door!”
Leer turned around, and when everyone was trying to squeeze in, they suddenly found that there were also people inside, wanting to get out, and all of them had panic on their faces.
"Don't go near the city gate!! Get out of there!!"
Leer suddenly reacted and shouted loudly.
However, after the city barrier was deployed, the sound was isolated, and the people inside could not hear her voice at all, but rushed out one after another.
However, the barrier is still unfolding.
Poof! Poof!!
The first group of people to rush out encountered the translucent barrier, and suddenly a terrible force rebounded, instantly tearing people and cars into pieces. The horrific scene of bloody flesh and blood was vivid to the people blocked outside the city gate.
, their eyes widened one by one, and their faces turned pale.
Everyone inside showed desperate expressions. The person at the front wanted to brake and turn back, but the people at the back didn't know the situation in front and were still pushing forward desperately.
So the people in front were pushed closer to the city gate.
puff!!
Under the terrifying energy of the barrier, it's like putting countless eggs into a blender.
Leer's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth.
Many businessmen closed their eyes and vomited wildly.
"Quickly retreat! Don't block the people behind you!"
"Ah! Run quickly!"
Instantly, fear spread outside the city. The merchants blocking the city gate abandoned their cars and fled. The merchants behind didn't know what was going on, so they just followed the crowd. They quickly drove their carriages and turned around and ran away.
.
Leer's eyes shed tears. She watched helplessly as the desperate man turned into pieces. She couldn't do anything.
"No!!"
Suddenly! She gritted her teeth and held the glass staff in her hand tightly. Her hair and eyes glowed strangely at the same time.
Overloaded with magic power, she poured a large amount of magic power into the staff in her hand.
"Light destroyer cannon!!"
The staff that gathered a large amount of magic power emitted a hot and dazzling light, and suddenly turned into a terrifying beam of light that hit the barrier of the city gate.
Although the barrier can resist all attacks, penetrating magic such as light and dark magic can still affect the inside of the barrier.
"ah!"
A powerful impact hit the barrier, and suddenly there was a bang, and wave-like fluctuations appeared on the barrier. The explosion caused a terrible gust of wind, which directly blew away the people near the city gate.
However, at this moment, Rael looked through the barrier and saw what really scared the people inside. A group of monsters she had never seen before appeared in her field of vision. They rushed into the crowd and started killing...
At this time, in the castle, because Jinus brought a large number of guards out of the castle, the defense force in the castle was weak. The invading monsters met little resistance and occupied the castle.
Edel sneaked into the castle. He had been here before and knew where the room that controlled the city barrier was. Hidden in the shadows, he could count the monsters on the road. It stands to reason that he should be able to turn off the city barrier soon.
However.
"I won't let you succeed."
A girl with golden hair appeared on the top of the castle tower. She swung her feet and smiled ferociously. Suddenly, the monsters in the castle reacted, and black blood suddenly spurted out from their mouths, smearing it on
on the surrounding walls.
At this time, the black shadow walking through the wall in the old castle suddenly hit the wall stained with black blood with a bang.
Edel emerged from the shadows and landed safely with a backflip.
"What!"
He raised his head suddenly and saw a monster with a twisted body, like four or five people fused together.
There is magic in the black blood. They form a wall, and Shadow Andel cannot penetrate the opponent's magic wall.
Do these monsters have such intelligence?
This is trouble!
Suddenly the monster attacked him, waving his limbs and attacking continuously. Edel jumped back, leaving a black shadow in the position he had just occupied. When the monster stepped on it,
It was stuck at once.
"Shadow·Glue!"
Edel didn't want to spend more time with this monster, so he wanted to bypass it directly and go to the control room.
However, the monster whose freedom was restricted suddenly cracked open, and claws like crab legs protruded from the crack.
"What!"
Edel was shocked. He had never seen such a monster before. There were other monsters hidden in his body?
The monster is like a cocoon, hatching out a brand new monster. It has a hard shell, as if covered with white bones, and its body is crawling on the ground, like a beetle. There are four crab-like claws in front of it, and the claws are like
The blade is as sharp as a knife, and the tail is like a scorpion's stinger.
"Toy No. 1! The cute little scorpion!"
The blond girl saw the scene in the house somehow. The color of her left eye was slightly different from that of her right eye, as if it was covered by a black curtain.
…
"What kind of monster is this!"
Edel showed a serious expression, and suddenly, the newly born monster rushed over at a terrifying speed, and swung its four sharp claws at him like it was holding four knives.
He jumped up and actually stepped on the ceiling upside down. His feet were entangled with black shadows, thinking of himself on them.
"Shadow!"
A black silk thread shot out from his hand and was ready to stick to the monster's sadness. He immediately pulled the thread and stuck it to the ceiling. Then the thread shrank and the monster floated into the air and was hung by him.
on the ceiling.
He somersaulted back to the ground, and when he was about to run, the monster suddenly cut the black silk with its claws and attacked him.
"What!"
Edel's eyes widened. They were filaments made from his special ability that transformed magic power. They could actually be stretched several hundred meters. They were extremely flexible and could not be cut off by even the sharpest knife.
Seeing the four sharp blades coming towards him, Edel gritted his teeth. At this moment of surprise, his hand touched the wall.
"Tide!!"
Suddenly, the shadow magic in his hand burst out. The compressed magic was energized in an instant, and the outer magic was blown out. For a moment, like waves crashing on a rock, a huge black wave blocked Edel's body.
.
"Quality!"
These black magic powers instantly solidified and transformed into a rubber-like, somewhat soft shield that could absorb a large amount of impact and damage.
However! A cold light suddenly appeared in the black shield, and a thin sword-like bone spur penetrated his shield and stabbed towards his heart.
"Hahaha!! It's useless! This can't stop my little sword scorpion!"
The blonde girl laughed.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
A large amount of blood dripped on the floor. Edel gritted his teeth and blocked his left hand in front of him. Now only half of his wrist was left.
"ah!!"
He endured the pain and staggered back a few steps. A black magic power immediately wrapped around his wound and forcibly stopped the bleeding.
"Damn it! If only Pilox were here."
Edel gritted his teeth and said that he was not good at fighting. He was originally just a thief, and perhaps he was the one with the worst fighting ability in the team.
At this time, the black shield was constantly being broken open, with many small openings appearing, and it seemed that it could not last long.
The injured Edel stood up and started jogging. Maybe he could use this time to run to the control room!
However, the next moment, with a pop and a scary girl's smile, the terrifying monster broke through the black shield.
"Hey? Are you there? Want to run away?"
The monster soon discovered Edel's trace. When it moved, Edel instantly understood that he could not outrun it.
Although he had already run more than ten meters, the distance was shortened to less than three meters in two seconds.
The monster set up four knives and rushed towards him quickly. At this time, Edel understood that he only had two choices now.
One is to keep running and then be killed.
The second is to fight back on the spot and fight...
"ah!!"
Edel showed a ferocious expression, and he suddenly jumped up and lifted up high.
"Again? The same trick is useless!"
The girl's voice came, and the monster jumped up, opened its four knives, and made a swinging gesture.
However, it was at this moment that the monster noticed the black substance on Edel's feet.
"What?!"
Black silk threads connect to the ground.
"shrink!"
Edel yelled, and suddenly his feet sank. He immediately flew downwards quickly. The monster's four knives cut into the air at the same time. Edel was pulled by the black thread and passed under the monster's belly.
At that moment, he saw the hole in the monster's belly that was used for breathing. There was no bones covering it!
"ah!"
Edel drew a sharp knife, and the dagger cut through the monster's abdomen, and red blood suddenly sprayed all over the ground.
"Ah!! My toy!"
The blonde girl let out an ear-piercing scream. She gritted her teeth and showed an angry expression. However, within a few seconds, she returned to smiling.
"I'm kidding you, I have plenty of these toys..."
Edel was in shock, holding his broken arm and gasping for air. He glanced at the corpse of the monster on the ground, and then continued on his way.
At this time, at the gate of the castle, a man wearing a strange mask and black robe stood among a pile of strange corpses. He was holding a cane and looked at ease.
He is Zha Tenwan who works with Edel, and his ability is to control corpses, but that is just a phenomenon. At the same time, he can also use magic potions to refine poison, making him a very dangerous person.
Zha Shiwan looked back at the castle.
"That guy Edel is too slow, so he won't encounter any accidents."
Before he finished speaking, a crawling monster quickly appeared at the door and rushed towards him. However, the moment it approached Zha Ten Wan, the corpse on the ground suddenly stretched out its hand and grabbed the monster, and at the same time, the surrounding corpses rushed over.
, instantly entangled the monster to death.
Zha Shiwan walked up to the monster and took out a bottle filled with red liquid.
"Welcome to become a new member of the Death Soldier family. From now on, you will be called Death Soldier No. 70."
After saying that, he poured the liquid in the bottle onto the monster's head, and the red liquid immediately melted into the monster's body. The monster roared in pain and then stopped struggling.
Zha Shiwan turned around and looked at the group of monsters walking on the path.
"It's time to get to work, recruit."
He shouted, and the corpses around him stood up at the same time, facing the group of monsters.
"Kill me!"
Zha Tenwan pointed forward, and the dead soldiers beside him roared and rushed forward.
A very fierce melee broke out, and the death guards who were not afraid of death held back the monsters.
However, at this time, Zha Shiwan saw a tall and black monster among the monsters. It was different from other monsters and had far extraordinary magical power.
"Hurry up, Edel, I can't hold on much longer."
Zha Shiwan held the cane tightly, and saw the black monster rushing over, like a tank, easily knocking away everything in front of it, and headed straight for Zha Shiwan.
…
"It's almost here, we will succeed."
Edel was somewhat out of breath and lost a lot of blood as he jogged all the way.
However, just as he was about to reach the control room, he suddenly stopped.
A burst of black magic spread like mist from the end of the corridor, even drifting to Edel's feet.
Plop! Plop!
His heart was beating wildly, and fear filled his heart. He lowered his head, unable to move.
He gritted his teeth and his eyes were trembling. He knew that there was a terrible monster waiting for him behind the corridor.
