With the rapid development of the capital, Beckler, the city's sewer system was not considered ancient.
But ever since they realized that the filth in the city was, to a large extent, the source of various diseases. Under the leadership of the city manager, the construction of this massive underground project had almost never been interrupted.
Today, the total length of the tight sewer system under the city had reached an astonishing 1,000 kilometers, ensuring that the sewage, industrial wastewater, rainwater, and so on in the city would be discharged into the Tame River along the network of pipes that extended in all directions, and then washed all the way into the sea.
Of course, although the city's sewer system bore the heavy responsibility of the city's normal operation, under normal circumstances, no citizen would be interested in visiting it.
But today was obviously an exception.
Splash … Splash …
In the almost pitch-black underground pipe network, a figure was staggering forward in the stinky, dirty water.
Judging from the attire of his suspenders, he should be a young factory worker, wearing the neatest and most decent clothes. He should be about to participate in a grand celebration.
But for some reason, he came to the depths of the sewer alone. His clothes were also covered in all kinds of stains.
At this moment.
Although his eyes were half-closed and obviously unable to see anything, it was as if he was being pulled by an invisible rope. Even when he passed by a fork, he did not hesitate at all and went straight to the deepest part of the sewer.
The darkness in front of him was particularly thick, like a turbid swamp that had solidified into a substance. It was also like an amorphous evil beast lurking in the shadows, swallowing everything that passed by, including light, into its stomach.
And right above this dark area was the city center of Beckler — Regent Street Square in front of St. James Palace!
Whoosh!
Under the guidance of an inexplicable force, the young man was about to wade through the dirty water and stride into the darkness.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him.
"Found it, it's here!"
A group of "Iron Wall Knights" with faint holy light all over their bodies were attracted by the strange cries of cows and sheep. They appeared at the end of the filthy tunnel and looked at the darkness that was condensed even in the holy light. At the same time, they raised the two-handed swords in their hands high.
"In the face of a strong enemy, do not be afraid!"
"Courageous and loyal, worthy of God's grace!"
"Loyal and upright, rather die than submit!"
"Protecting the weak is not against the heavens!"
[Divine Art: Knight's Proverb]
On the Iron Wall Knight squad, a group of twelve Knights led by a level three grand knight, a bright, scorching light ball suddenly exploded. Boosted by their firm faith, the white light poured forward like an unstoppable flood.
The young man who was hit by this majestic stream of light was completely unharmed. However, he suddenly shuddered and woke up from his nightmare. When he saw where he was, he quickly retreated in the direction of the group of holy knights in fear.
The [Knight's Maxim]'s attack continued to surge forward and bombarded the thick darkness.
Whoosh!
The sound of a soldering iron hitting skin suddenly rang out, and the dark curtain covering this area was instantly torn open, exposing the secret that had been hidden for nearly a month to the outside world.
But before the Knight of the Iron Wall could see what was there,
"Squeak, squeak, squeak … For the great Funeral God!"
"Sinotoglis, the Corpse Embalmer, is waiting for us in his kingdom!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak … Sacrifice!"
A group of human-shaped rats wearing the same style of robes were already waving the bone ritual daggers in their hands as they charged at the Paladin Knight with fanatical expressions. They didn't even use any decent theurgy, and it was like a suicidal charge.
When Ambrose saw their appearances and the Sacred Emblem on their chests that seemed to be made up of countless swollen arms, he heaved a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he frowned deeply.
"These are the ratman priests of the Church of Morticians? Where were they hiding before this? Haven't the sewers been cleaned up three times? "
The Tulip Archipelago was isolated out in the sea with a strait acting as a barrier, so Ambrose and company didn't have many opportunities to deal with this evil god's faction.
"Purify them!"
After these "former humans" believed in the evil god, the Funeral God, their bodies gradually mutated into human-shaped rats. Their Beyonder level wasn't high, and in terms of combat strength, they were not worth mentioning to the Iron Wall Knight.
After being exposed, they were easily finished off. Their corpses were soaked in the turbid water and didn't move again.
As for the Iron Wall Knight, they didn't let down their guard at all. They gripped their swords tightly and slowly advanced. Due to their authority, these evil gods had all sorts of strange abilities. It was impossible to guard against them.
Although the ratmen had been wiped out, the source of the cries and the confusion of the citizens had yet to be found.
"Everyone, be careful!"
However, there were still some messy rock sewer pipes behind them. There wasn't any strange aura. If they hadn't been "preying" on the citizens, they wouldn't have noticed any abnormalities even if they were in close contact.
The only strange thing was that the load-bearing wall in the middle appeared a little too thick.
The Paladin Knight exchanged looks. Just as they were about to cast another round of Knight's Maxim based on their principle of preferring to kill to spare …
Crack!
A "brick" on the load-bearing wall suddenly collapsed. When it fell to the ground, the fracture revealed traces of bones and hair. Then, one after another … until a large circular hole was revealed.
Upon seeing this, Ambrose's expression changed as he roared.
"Attack!"
But at the same time, the faint cries of the cows and sheep in the hole suddenly became louder.
The corpse ball and Demon God's Egg created by the Funeral Cult had been hidden here for a whole month with the help of [Authority: Burial].
Although the human corpses brought by the ratmen and the scattered corpses of the passersby were seriously insufficient as sacrifices for the Demon God's Egg, after the last group of ratmen launched a suicide attack and sacrificed their lives, they finally met the minimum incubation requirement.
Moo!
A loud bull's cry echoed throughout the entire sewer system. It also spread to the surface and resonated in the hearts of thousands of people.
The "load-bearing wall" made of flesh, bones, and hair completely collapsed.
The "thing" in the middle that looked like a heart or an egg was a little dissatisfied with the number of sacrifices, but at this moment, with the sound of amniotic fluid bursting, an extremely illusory and tall figure had already descended in front of the Iron Wall Knight.
Although it was a demon god from the lower world, it was still something normal in this era. It didn't have the indescribable and indescribable feeling of an "ancient god."
But at this moment, it also revealed its "mythical form" without any scruples!
It had grayish-white skin, and its limbs were the iconic demon claws of the lower world. A snake-like tail kept hissing, and its three-meter-tall torso reached the ceiling of the sewer. The goat's head was on its left shoulder, the cow's head was on its right shoulder, and the human head was in the middle.
As it breathed, the vicious, scorching, dirty, and stinking aura of hell had already spread. The bright armor and longsword on the Knight's body, and even the dirty rock sewer quickly became mottled and decayed as if it had gone through a long period of time.
However, this was obviously a "premature baby" that was underdeveloped. Its body flickered as if the signal was unstable, as if it would be expelled from this world at any time.
It was far inferior to the projection of the God of Opera, Purcell, after he broke the seal.
On the three heads of the demon god, six pairs of flaming eyes glanced at the humans in front of it.
A group of paladin Knight, who were trembling physically and mentally and couldn't even stand steadily, instinctively lowered their heads. But …
"Ahhh!"
The young man who had been hiding far behind the team and had luckily escaped the calamity couldn't escape his fate this time.
Just a glance at the "mythical form" had caused his rationality to collapse instantly. His facial features were distorted, and tears flowed down his face. He kept howling and rushing towards the demon god.
"No!"
Ambrose's reminder was too late.
Bam!
Halfway there, it exploded into a pool of blood mist and merged into the body of the demon god, Byrum.
Just as the group of "Iron Wall Knight" gritted their teeth and prepared to stand up and launch the last charge of their lives, the figure of the demon god seemed to have transformed into a terrifying figure.
The terrifying figure that seemed to be condensed from disaster seemed to have no interest in them at all. It instantly disappeared into the dark sewers.
At this time, "He" was completely attracted by the joyous atmosphere of the celebration above his head. The power that this projection could use was extremely limited, and there was no need to waste time enjoying the main course for a side dish.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to enter the material world, it was only right to make a killing and run away immediately.
Bam!
Facing such a terrifying existence at close range, the group of "Iron Wall Knight" who barely didn't kneel down with their longswords collapsed to the ground the moment "He" left.
But Ambrose had already sent out a warning through the [Mental Network]:
"The projection of the demon god, Byrum … has arrived!"
.....
While the coronation ceremony was in progress inside St. James Palace.
Outside the palace gate, which was only separated by a wall, a large number of people had gathered in the square of Regent Street to watch the ceremony.
According to the normal celebration process, once the new queen completed the coronation ceremony, she would be escorted by the guards in a carriage along specific streets to meet the citizens of the capital.
And with the rise of Faletis over the years, the living standards of the people had rapidly improved, and the royal family was also loved by the people. Just in the square in front of the palace gate, tens of thousands of citizens had gathered spontaneously.
Many people had already started singing songs while waiting.
"God bless our respected queen!
May the noble her live forever!
God bless the queen!
Give her victory,
Happiness and glory,
Rule us … "
The warm atmosphere completely dispelled the bleakness of autumn, as if they had returned to the warm and passionate midsummer.
Then.
All of this was suddenly interrupted by a loud bull's cry, and the square was instantly silent. Everyone was "grabbed by the neck" as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
Everyone seemed to be standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss. Even if the sound of breathing was slightly louder, they would immediately fall to pieces!
The so-called "honor duel" in the palace was naturally interrupted.
Whoosh!
With the blessing of the [Circle of Sacrifice], Pedro had already teleported to Prince Manolo's side and firmly protected him by his side.
At this time, there was no longer a frost-like sword aura around him, but it had condensed into a trace of ripples in the air. It was undetectable but indestructible.
Obviously, with the help of the [Circle of Sacrifice], he could already slightly touch the "perfect" level of the [Sword Aura Ripple]. If a master could cut through steel with a wooden sword, then the perfect level of the [Sword Aura Ripple] could easily cut through the sword aura!
Pedro's confidence obviously had a reason. Even when compared to the ancestor of the Shilius royal family, the Supreme Knight, who founded the 'supreme school of swordsmanship', he was only slightly inferior in swordsmanship.
If the battle just now had continued, Elvin might have really suffered a great loss due to his carelessness. Although he couldn't kill him, he was almost destined to be defeated.
However, in the face of this sudden change, the other guests from various countries did not have the protection of a skilled swordsman. Although they performed better than ordinary people, they could not help but cause a commotion.
Levina, who had already received the warning through the [Mental Network], slowly stood up from her throne and said loudly, "Please sit down.
Don't panic, the incident is still under our control, and Faletis will ensure your safety. "
Although her voice was not loud, it had the power to calm people down.
However, just as Levina's voice faded.
A domineering and terrifying figure suddenly appeared on the palace gate of St. James Palace, and the endless vicious and tyrannical aura had already spread everywhere.
Inside this palace gate were the nobles of various countries, and outside were as many as tens of thousands of people.
Byram's illusory projection raised his hands and took a deep breath as if he was intoxicated, and then lightly stomped his feet.
Under his feet, the thick palace gate of St. James Palace gradually blurred and slowly overlapped with another shadow. A world of gray with a tinge of blood red seemed to be fusing with the door.
Crack!
The sound of a lock being locked sounded.
Roar!!
Roar!!
One by one, the black dots seemed to emerge from the water. They roared and turned into all kinds of strange lower level monsters. They rushed out from both sides of the door like a tide. That kind of unstoppable momentum seemed to tear everything in front of them into pieces.
"Ahhh —!"
In the face of this terrifying scene, screams had already sounded outside the palace gate.
Archbishop Lance, who had just finished the coronation ceremony for Levina, had already stood up immediately. He raised the black iron cross holy emblem in his hand, and milky white ripples surged out.
[Divine Spell — Royalty — Command!]
Tens of thousands of people outside the palace gate had already ignored the negative status of fear and involuntarily turned around and trotted all the way away from Regent Street Square.
Levina took a deep breath and nodded slightly to Elvin who had returned to her side.
"Understood! Sister! "
Neigh —
Accompanied by the loud neigh of a pegasus, a large green cloud surrounded a large area, and an emerald sun had already soared into the sky from the [Sorcerer's Garden].
It was the [Legendary Warship — Emerald Corona] piloted by Anita.
A golden ring of light suddenly exploded, and before it could catch up to the fleeing people, the bodies of the countless monsters instantly ignited with golden flames.
[Solidification — Solar Flame] passive effect, which was attached to every ability of the legendary warship. The spiritual flame from the sun had the effect of sanctity, purification, and exorcism.
Boom!
A "solar prominence" rushed out of the blazing sun in the sky and turned into a golden pegasus wrapped in a huge blue and white fireball. It carried the heavy pressure of a comet falling from the sky, and raised its golden hooves that were bigger than a round table and stomped on the seemingly terrifying projection of the demon god.
[Ability — Pegasus Fall]
Whoosh —
At the same time, the "Rose Sword Saint" who was burning with anger because his precious granddaughter's coronation ceremony was interrupted had already turned into a crimson sword light that flashed across the sky and pounced forward.
"Mere evil god, how dare you cause trouble in Faletis? Die!"
