Raelag was not stupid. He knew very well that if the demon wanted to hide Isabel, it would definitely be in a heavily guarded place. In particular, Xeron's residence was most likely there.
Therefore, Raelag's goal at the beginning was very clear. He was looking for the most imposing building in the city.
In fact, he had indeed found the right one. After spending a lot of time carefully approaching a demon hall, he finally found where Xeron lived.
However, when he wanted to investigate this place with extreme caution, he was astonished to find that there was no one at all!
He did not believe it and searched several times. Not to mention Isabel, even Xeron was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that I found the wrong place? Raelag was puzzled. He knew that demons had always been cunning. What if Xeron thought that there would be assassins and spies lurking in, so he did not hide Isabel in his residence?
All kinds of thoughts raced through Raelag's mind, and his head hurt. After all, they had too little information. It was normal for them to not be able to find Isabel after sneaking in with only a vague goal.
Let's go somewhere else! Raelag thought. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a … winged eyeball appearing in the void!
Raelag was shocked. Thinking that he had been discovered, he quickly hid. But at this moment, he found that the winged eyeball had flown to an empty place at the back of the hall and was circling there.
The little wings flapped as though they were waving at Raelag.
"Could it be that it can see me?!" Raelag was bewildered and had the thought of leaving quickly. But in the end, he endured it and carefully approached the winged eyeball with the thought of cutting off all means of retreat.
Huh?! When he arrived at the location of the eyeball, he finally realized that something was wrong. Although there was nothing on the ground, there was a faint magic power fluctuation. Although the fluctuation was very weak, Raelag still noticed it immediately. After all, he was a Warlock and a caster, and he was very sensitive to magic power fluctuations.
A teleportation formation? Was it hidden? Raelag made a judgment and finally came to a realization, so he could not help but look up at the winged eyeball.
He knew very well that the eyeball was guiding him, but it didn't look like an intelligent creature. It was more like a tool of a Warlock's Eye. In other words, there was a hidden existence controlling the eyeball.
"Who are you?" Raelag appeared and asked solemnly.
However, the winged eyeball ignored him and disappeared into thin air.
He's invisible again, and this invisibility ability … is quite brilliant. There's no scent left … Raelag frowned and made a judgment. But since the person behind the scenes was unwilling to appear, he had no other choice.
"What should I do? Should I trust him for once?" Raelag was a little conflicted. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, squatted down, placed his hand on the ground, and began to output magic power to the ground.
Raelag had come to save Isabel. In addition to love, he also wanted to stop the demon's plot, so he was already prepared to die here. No matter who the existence behind the scenes was and what his goal was, Raelag had no choice.
Sure enough, after the input of magic power, the outline of a magic teleportation formation appeared on the ground and glowed. Raelag no longer hesitated. He took a few steps forward and stood in the magic formation. Then with a flash of light, the teleportation formation activated, and Raelag's figure instantly disappeared from the hall.
Raelag's vision suddenly turned dark. After he took some time to adapt to the light, he found that he had been teleported to … an underground secret room.
There was no one around, but there were burning torches on the walls of the corridor. Moreover, at the end of the corridor, Raelag faintly heard a voice.
Taking a deep breath, Raelag entered stealth again, lightened his footsteps, and carefully walked forward along the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a wide hall. With the smell of sulfur and smoke entering his nose, Raelag saw a tall demon figure.
It's Xeron! Raelag immediately reacted and stood against the corner of the wall.
Fortunately, Xeron did not notice that someone had sneaked in, and he did not even think about it. After all, there was a massive siege battle going on outside, and all the enemies were thinking of ways to attack the city. Therefore, Xeron was confident that no enemy would enter the city before the demon army outside was annihilated.
At this moment, Xeron was standing beside the altar where Isabel was. His hands flashed with light as he transferred the life force of the living sacrifices under his feet to Isabel.
To be precise, he was transferring it to the fetus in Isabel's womb …
The sacrifices kneeling beside the altar included dark elves, humans, dwarves, and elves, but all of them had dull eyes and seemed to have long lost consciousness. With Xeron's sacrificial ritual, these sacrifices were sucked dry and finally turned into dust that disintegrated on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Raelag did not have any angry thoughts. He carefully suppressed his emotions and made himself calm as he looked at Isabel on the altar.
Only now did Raelag realize that what Demon Osiris said was true. His beloved Isabel was already pregnant with Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth's child, and judging from her bulging abdomen, this child was about to be born …
Looking at Isabel's state, Raelag felt that it was very difficult. If he wanted to save Isabel, he had to escape with her. But with Isabel's big belly, it would probably not take long for problems to appear under intense exercise, and they would not be able to run far.
From the perspective of the dark elves, the best choice at this moment was not to assassinate Xeron but to directly stab Isabel and the child in her womb to death. This way, not only could they prevent the birth of the Dark Messiah, but they could also eliminate any remedial measures of the demons and completely thwart the demons' plot.
But … the one who came here was Raelag, a man who loved Isabel deeply, and he could not harden his heart to make such a choice.
In the shadow of the corner, the Demon Eye that Roy had left here last time was quietly observing everything in the secret room. Deep underground, Roy was also interested to see what Raelag planned to do.
Raelag moved. He carefully controlled his steps and slowly approached the altar.
When he arrived behind Xeron, he decisively attacked. He flipped out a sharp black blade and used all his strength to stab at Xeron's back.
Seeing that the sharp blade covered in dragon saliva was about to stab Xeron, an astonishing and vast magic power suddenly appeared in the secret room and instantly suppressed Raelag to the ground!
"Damn little mouse, I've been waiting for you to appear!" Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth's voice echoed in the void of the secret room.
Xeron, who was still performing the sacrificial ritual, was shocked. He turned his head and saw Raelag, who had been knocked out. At the same time, the projection of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth appeared in the secret room and appeared on Isabel's altar.
"What's going on?! Why did a dark elf sneak in?! "Xeron was clearly dumbfounded.
"Cursed fellow, Xeron, you disappoint me!" Kha-Beleth roared angrily. "After you left last time, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. There seems to be something foreign in this secret room, so I've been secretly observing this place. As expected, I finally caught it. It turns out to be a dark elf assassin! Xeron, if it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't even know you were killed! "
"Sorry, Sovereign Kha-Beleth!" Xeron broke out in cold sweat and quickly lowered his head. "This is my dereliction of duty!"
Roy, who was far underground, could not help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard Kha-Beleth's words through the Demon Eye. Although he had completely eliminated the scent and magic power traces of the Demon Eye, he did not expect Kha-Beleth to be so sharp that he could still faintly sense something. Fortunately, he had kept the Demon Eye motionless in the corner. Otherwise, it would have long been discovered.
On the other hand, Raelag was a little unlucky. It seemed that Kha-Beleth had mistaken him for the infiltrator from last time … This black pot was not light …
"If there's a next time, I'll throw your soul into the sun and burn it for ten thousand years!" Kha-Beleth gritted his teeth. "Now, let's look at this damn little mouse! Hmm, a familiar smell. It seems like we've met an acquaintance … Oh, Agrael, I didn't expect it to be you, the traitor! How strange. You actually changed back into a dark elf? You actually purified the demon bloodline in your body? "
"Ka … Kha-Beleth!" Suppressed by Kha-Beleth's magic power, Raelag's face was pressed against the ground as he said with difficulty, "Your scheme won't succeed!"
"Hmph. What else do you think you can do?" Kha-Beleth said disdainfully.
"Stop you!" After saying this angrily, Raelag suddenly used all his strength to break free from Kha-Beleth's suppression. The magic power that he had already accumulated erupted and turned into an enormous explosive fireball that flew toward Isabel on the altar!
Seeing this scene, Kha-Beleth immediately exclaimed, but he said, "Protect Isabel!!!"
Kha-Beleth's figure was only a projection and did not have a physical body. He could not accurately deal with the magic power transmitted through the air, and the only person present who could stop Raelag was Xeron.
Therefore, Xeron did not even think about it and directly blocked the path of the explosive fireball!
Due to the assassination just now, the distance between him and Raelag was already very close. He hastily blocked the explosive fireball, causing Xeron to have no time to defend himself. Therefore, the moment he came into contact with the fireball, he was blasted away with a loud rumble!
The entire basement shook because of the explosion of the fireball. Not only was the secret room filled with smoke, but rubble rustled down, looking like it was about to collapse.
Raelag had actually done this fireball on purpose. He deliberately attacked Isabel because he knew that Xeron would definitely save her. Taking advantage of Xeron being blasted away, Raelag did not even think about it. He rushed over to cut off the handcuffs on Isabel, picked her up with both hands, and then turned to escape into the corridor.
After quickly arriving at the teleportation formation, Raelag injected magic power and instantly teleported away …
