"…"
"…"
The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.
Fangzheng stared at the Witch in silence. Margot also stared at him without saying a word. After a while, Margot let out a sneer.
"So you're just a little mouse who accidentally dug the wrong hole. Seems like you're really unlucky."
Damn it!
Fangzheng cursed in his mind while looking around. His current situation was terrible. His left shoulder was burning in pain, and his body was covered in wounds. It could be said that he was weak all over and had no strength at all. Furthermore, he was in a spacious hall. Looking around, he couldn't even find anything to hide behind. Not only was he surrounded by dozens of cultists, but there was also a BOSS staring at him covetously.
I'm just here to look for a tool. Why am I fighting a BOSS all of a sudden?
Isn't this three levels of difficulty?!
At this moment, Fangzheng's expression was uncertain. But before he could think of a way to deal with this trouble, the Witch hovering in midair suddenly changed her expression.
"I sensed a strange energy wave in your arms … So that's why. That thing is in your hands. Give it to me!"
The Witch raised her voice abruptly, which made Fangzheng feel as though his ears were suddenly struck by countless gongs. He felt dizzy and couldn't even speak for a moment. His body, which had just stood up, felt as though he was suddenly knocked down and kneeled on the ground again.
"Go catch him! Give me the thing in his arms! "
Margot didn't intend to waste her time talking nonsense with Fangzheng. After all, in her eyes, Fangzheng was just a civilian. Although she was curious about how this civilian appeared in front of her, in the Dark World, this kind of ant was never someone she needed to care about. After hearing their master's order, the cultists stepped toward Fangzheng. In their eyes, a severely injured civilian who couldn't even move was no threat at all.
"Haa … Haa …"
Gripping Frostmourne tightly, Fangzheng was still half-kneeling on the ground and panting heavily. His head was buzzing and everything before him was blurry. Fangzheng could only see swaying shadows in front of him.
Am I going to die here?
His lungs were burning in pain. Every breath he took felt as though there was a flame burning in his chest. Fangzheng lifted his head and saw the blurry shadows approaching him. He couldn't even see their attire clearly, but he knew that facing so many cultists, he didn't have any strength to retaliate.
So, there was only one way left.
With this in mind, Fangzheng gripped the sword in his hand tightly.
As the cultists approached Fangzheng, a whistling gust of cold wind blew.
"— — —!"
The chilling wind swept across the bodies of the cultists in an instant, but they didn't realize it at all. They maintained their previous movements and froze on the spot as though time had stopped. Soon, a layer of white frost emerged on their skin and the soul flames in their eyes were extinguished instantly.
"What's this?!"
Magda was shocked by the sudden change. She quickly raised both hands and summoned a blood-red magic circle around her. Soon, a translucent red barrier covered her body. But even so, the cold wind still sent her flying in an instant. Even the torches on the walls were completely extinguished by the howling storm.
In an instant, the surroundings were plunged into darkness.
"Cough … Cough … Cough …"
What kind of power is this?
Margot wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked ahead in bewilderment. She thought that Fangzheng was just an ordinary civilian. But after witnessing what happened just now, she couldn't be sure anymore. She sensed an incomparably powerful, ice-cold power descending. How is this possible? Could it be that he's also a servant of a demon king from hell? How could this be? Why didn't Sir Peter tell me?!
Margot swore that if she knew that there were other demon kings involved in this, she wouldn't have underestimated them!
But now, it was all too late!
"Phew."
The extinguished torches were lit up again. But this time, they weren't burning with the usual flames. Instead, they were burning with green soul flames.
"So this is all you got …"
A deep voice sounded. The temperature suddenly dropped. Even with the protection of the blood barrier, Margot couldn't help but shiver. She could feel that an existence that she couldn't resist had arrived. At this moment, the entire underground hall had completely changed. The floor that was originally filled with blood and corpses was now completely covered in frost. Even the surrounding ceiling was filled with icicles. In the blink of an eye, the entire underground hall turned into a world of ice and snow.
An enormous figure emerged from the ice and gazed at Margot with its emotionless blue eyes.
"Lowly worm, how dare you stand in my way?!"
"I-I'm Sir Peter's subordinate!"
Margot's expression turned ashen. She didn't know which demon king appeared before her, but she was sure that its strength wasn't inferior to Peter, the King of Lies. Margot had no intention of asking for the fragment back. She even decided to give up on this mission. Of course, she might be punished by Bi Lie if she did that, but it was better than dying silently here.
"I don't intend to be your enemy. Please let me go …"
"Let you go?"
Upon hearing Margot's request, the enormous figure looked at her and raised its sword.
"Your soul is filled with fear … and it shall become the food of Frostmourne …"
"No — — —!"
Margot couldn't hold it in anymore. Although she didn't know what 'Frostmourne' was, she knew that it wasn't going to let her go!
At this thought, the demoness no longer hesitated. She flew backward frantically while waving her arms.
"Guards! Stop it! "
Along with Margot's yell, cultists and demons from hell appeared out of thin air and blocked the Lich King's path. Looking at this scene, the Lich King sneered.
"Come, have a taste of the power of the Scourge!"
Before the Lich King finished his words, the cultists and demons who rushed over watched in horror as the frozen ground cracked open in an instant. Then, countless undead creatures with burning blue flames in their eyes emerged. They raised their weapons and roared as they charged at the enemy before them.
In an instant, shouts of "kill" rang out, and the entire underground city turned into a living hell.
"Haa … Haa …"
At this moment, Margot was also terrified. She didn't expect that she would provoke such a terrifying being. At this moment, she was already in a panic and didn't know what to do.
"Mister Peri, save me!"
Magda screamed as she sprinted forward like a madwoman. She couldn't leave this underground city anymore. The teleportation portal where Fangzheng was at was the only exit. If she didn't use the portal, she would have to leave this nest that she had painstakingly built for years. But this time, no matter how much she begged, the Demon King didn't respond.
"Mister Peri!"
Swoosh!
When Margot reached the end of the corridor, an ice wall suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked her way. At the same time, Margot heard heavy footsteps behind her.
Thump … Thump … Thump …
"No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die here! Mister Peri, save me! "
Margot almost broke down when she heard the footsteps behind her. She desperately tried to break the ice wall, but her magic couldn't even break a corner of the ice wall. At this moment, the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Margot turned around and saw a pitch-black figure approaching her step by step.
"No, don't come here! I don't want to die! Please let me go! I can be your most loyal servant! I swear on my soul …! "
Seeing the approaching figure, Margot quickly knelt on the ground and screamed, "Master! Master! Master! Master! Master!" However, the Demon King didn't say a word. Only the sword in his hand emitted an ice-cold radiance.
"… I'll kill you!"
Seeing that her begging didn't work, Margot finally jumped over the wall like a cornered dog. She roared and flew into the air. She raised her hands and released a torrent of scarlet rays and fireballs at the Demon King.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Along with a series of explosions, the Demon King was instantly devoured by the flames. But at the next moment, a chilling light flashed!
Shing — — —!
The rolling fireballs were instantly split into two. Margot widened her eyes and stared blankly ahead. The chilling light tore through her flames and penetrated her body, nailing her to the ice wall. At this moment, the scarlet barrier around Margot's body exploded and dissipated.
"I … I …"
Margot clutched the sword that pierced her body and looked at the young man before her. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But before she could speak, her voice turned into a blood-curdling scream. Then, a human-shaped mist was forcefully removed from Margot's body and sucked into the shining blue blade. Immediately after, the witch's body went limp, and she fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
Fangzheng stared coldly at Margot's corpse. After a while, he withdrew Frostmourne.
Bam!
