Despite the translucent space gap, the brightness that looked like the arrival of the sun still made Malfurion, Lankshear, and the other elves, dryads, and humans who were unprepared couldn't help but close their eyes to resist the brilliance that was countless times stronger than the blinding spell. Even so, they still had the feeling that they were faced with a boundless and dazzling ocean of light!
When the light gradually returned to normal, Lankshear and Selinda opened their eyes and looked at the Scarlet Plain, only to see a weird mushroom cloud rising from the center. The demon experts at the center had already been obliterated. At the edge of the crater was the glass-like scene that had melted and solidified again. Reflecting the bloody sunlight, they created a translucent, colorful scene.
Not a single intact body could be found in the army of demons further away. Broken limbs, brains, and wings were everywhere. The blood in red, green, or other colors was sprinkled on the sand and the mud, emitting a bloody, weird beauty, as if a crimson, man-eating flower was blossoming slowly.
The army of demons further away was already sparse. Some of them had turned into dead bodies, and some were covering their eyes and rolling on the ground in pain. The scales on their bodies had been broken, and their naturally-endowed defense abilities were nowhere to be seen.
Because it was a plain, and because a lot of white stones that were easily damaged were standing, the army of demons that looked like tides immediately dried up under the attack of 'Eternal Blaze' like a torrent whose source had been cut off.
As for the demons at the furthest place that were not hurt, because Lucien's attack was aimed at the experts such as the dukes who led the team, they seemed to have been scared out of their wits and fled in a hurry after losing their command. After only a few dozen seconds, there was no sound on the Scarlet Plain except for the screams of pain. Not a single demon could stand on their feet.
What was even weirder was that the air that was filled with all kinds of curses seemed to have been cleansed after the outburst of 'Eternal Blaze'. The twisted and corrosive feeling was gone.
At this moment, the Scarlet Plain was temporarily sublimated from the chaotic, bloody, and stinky abyss into a clean paradise on earth, provided that the blood and bodies on the ground were ignored.
In response, the Sovereign of Blood, the Lord of this level of the abyss, did not show up or make any comments. He did not stop the demons from fleeing in panic either. He was unusually silent, and the massive attack was quickly calmed down.
The translucent space crack seemed to be shaking under the terrifying storm of energy, greatly reducing the power of the seal. Unfortunately, none of the demons dared to seize the opportunity. Malfurion and the other druids, who had come back to their senses, strengthened the seal again.
Inside the Town of the Anonymous.
Mason was discussing something with Fred worriedly when he suddenly heard the roars of the demons. He frowned and said, "The demons are attacking again. They must have been blinded by the desire to kill."
"The abyss is said to have 666 floors, but in fact, no one knows how many floors there are. The number of demons inside is even more uncountable. The losses of daily attacks are nothing to the Demon Lords." During this period of time, Fred had gained a deeper understanding of the number of demons.
Demons were essentially chaotic creatures that couldn't control their lust for blood, but they also abided by their natural instincts of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Had it not been for the suppression of the senior-rank demons, the Demon Dukes, and the Demon Lords, they wouldn't have attacked day after day, especially when they suffered heavy losses under the strike of the legendary druids.
Mason opened his mouth and was about to wonder when such a life would end, when an unimaginable explosion burst out next to his ears. The two heavenly Knight were temporarily deafened.
They subconsciously looked at the abyssal gap outside of the town, only to be dazzled by the most dazzling light. The sun in the sky seemed to have exploded right before them!
The two of them quickly closed their eyes, and their tears flowed out uncontrollably. They felt that the ground was being lifted by someone, and they couldn't stand steadily anymore.
"What's this extraordinary ability?" Mason stabilized himself and blurted out, but his shocked voice was drowned in the explosion.
In the meantime, he sensed that his skin was vaguely burning. He was even more shocked. The explosion should've taken place on the Scarlet Plain. How could the temperature be transmitted to this place from such a long distance and the abyssal gap?
How terrifying was the original power?
After a while, with the powerful recovery ability of the heavenly Knight, Mason's eyes were back to normal, and the feeling that something was rolling deep inside the earth was gone.
Therefore, weird blue scales grew out of the corners of his eyes, and his pupils constricted. He looked at the direction of the abyssal gap again and saw the mushroom cloud with an enormous head.
Combining all his experiences just now, Mason was deeply shocked.
"… This is the beauty of destruction …" The half cigar in Fred's hand had already fallen to the ground. He looked at the picture far away in shock and admiration.
Mason was back to himself. "Mushroom cloud … Eternal Blaze? Are the reinforcements of the Congress of Magic here? "
During the war between the Congress of Magic and the South Church, 'Eternal Blaze' was cast in front of the entire city of Renstadt. Also, it was so powerful that the leadership of every country had to pay attention to it. In the hands of Hathaway, who had just reached the peak of legendary, the power of the spell was close to that of a demigod with the materials she prepared in advance. If Douglas were to launch a full-strength attack, it would've been equal to that of Ivan when he performed God's Grace. Also, according to the Congress of Magic, the power of the spell had no upper limit …
As heavenly Knights, Mason and Fred were undoubtedly the leadership of the Kingdom of Colette. They had a deep impression of the mushroom cloud described in the intelligence.
"I wonder if it's the Emperor of Arcana, the Lord of Storm, or the Lord of Elements?" Fred speculated. Then, he was relieved. "It seems that we can leave this place now …"
Yes, now that the reinforcements had come, the elves would not be scared of the sea clan's attack anymore.
Mason's anxiety was relieved too. Looking around the town, he said in a low voice, "I don't want to stay here for one more second. Otherwise, everything will go out of control …"
Then, the two of them looked at the hazy Scarlet Plain behind the gap again and remarked with mixed feelings, "What a terrifying spell …"
… …
"The army of demons has retreated. We can discuss and examine the abyssal gap now." Lucien said with his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted suit.
Natasha, who was floating in midair, secretly chuckled after witnessing the silence of Lankshear, Selinda and the rest of them. She said in the telepathic bond, "Well done!"
She rather liked the feeling of awing everything with strength. She was even more thrilled after seeing 'Eternal Blaze' destroying the army of demons. She almost couldn't wait to join the battle and hunt down the demons.
Retreating his eyes, Malfurion said in a low voice, "When the abyssal gap changed, I was the one who guarded this place. Everything was normal before, and no legendary experts came to the Town of the Anonymous … At dawn, I suddenly sensed the chaotic air of slaughter from the abyss, and the time and space changed, too … When I came back to myself, I found that the gap that was ten meters long and two meters wide had been extended to thirty meters on the left and four meters high. It was almost a natural gate of time and space …"
He began to describe the changes at that time based on the actual situation of the gap, hoping to tell Lucien and Atlant every detail so that they could ascertain the cause with their arcana knowledge and special spells.
After hearing that, Lucien and Atlant did not say anything but began to examine the gap with spells such as' Mirror of Fate '. It was not until a long time later that they asked, "Elder Malfurion, did the air of the abyss and the change of time and space happen at the same time, or did they come first?"
Malfurion thought carefully for a moment. "They should've happened at the same time, but after a second or two, the waves of the change of time and space became clear and obvious, suppressing the air of the abyss. By the time I was back to myself, the air of the abyss was getting denser and denser, covering all the other changes."
Lucien and Atlant asked a few critical questions in a row. Malfurion, Lawndale, and Selinda, who guarded this place later, answered them one by one. Their descriptions were consistent. Nobody was lying.
"Evans, do you have any conclusion?" Malfurion asked concernedly.
Lucien nodded his head. "It's like the fusion of space. Near the space gap, when the environmental parameters of the two spaces are gradually the same, the spaces will slowly merge, causing the expansion of the gap. If it is not stopped, the integration of the abyss will certainly cause quakes in the whole world. There will be volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes that can destroy most lives and places. "
The ancient Magic Empire had eliminated similar situations before. Lucien and Atlant made the judgment based on that. Nobody knew whether or not the spaces could really be merged. Until they knew more about the truth of the world, Lucien could not offer specific arcana theories.
"The environmental parameters of the two spaces are the same?" Malfurion asked in confusion. "But I didn't sense the change of the area around the Town of the Anonymous into the abyss at all …"
Lankshear narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps it's a scheme …"
"Why does it have to be here instead of on the Scarlet Plain?" Natasha reminded him.
Malfurion frowned. "Do the demons have the patience to set up such enormous magic circles or use other weird and complicated methods?"
It was a well-known fact that demons had intelligence no less than that of humans. They often wanted to come up with schemes like demons, but their nature was chaotic. Perhaps they had just decided on a plan a moment ago, but the next second, they would throw it to the back of their minds. Or perhaps they would completely give up after a few steps of the plan, and act randomly without knowing what they were thinking.
"It's not impossible. Among the Demon Lords, there are two relatively less chaotic ones. One of them is Apsis, the Lord of Undead in the Skeleton Land, and the other is Gonheim, the Lord of Darkness in the Frozen Fortress. They are more like devils than demons," said Lucien. Atlant corrected Malfurion's understanding. Both of them were level-three legendary Demon Lords, equal to the weakened top legends in their level.
"Do we have to investigate the abyss?" Lawndale asked worriedly. "Also, the problem may lie here."
Atlant looked at the town down below, only to discover that the elves had blocked it. So, he asked, "Do you suspect that something is wrong with those adventurers? Or are you worried that the intelligence will be leaked? "
Malfurion explained, "It was Ferragond who proposed it at first to prevent the sea clans from learning it and to prevent the possible schemers from leaving. We'll continue the blockade and eliminate the suspects one by one."
"I may be of help in that regard." Said Atlant with a smile.
Even Lankshear and Selinda did not question that. The Eye of Curse was the authority in that regard.
Lucien listened to their conversation and nodded. "As it happens, we need to keep a legend here. Natasha and I will go to the abyss to take a look."
It was impossible for all the legends to enter the abyss. If the sorcerers in Nature's Residence were left alone, it would be troublesome if Nature's Abhorrence went crazy.
"You're going to the abyss?" Malfurion was not reassured.
Lucien smiled. "The Will of Abyss has been heavily wounded by God's Arrival and is still recovering. It's unlikely that he will attack directly. Even if he is as crazy as that, we can still escape even if we can't defeat him now that he's weakened. It's the same for the other Demon Lords. I won't be surrounded by them stupidly. "
It was the confidence of a grand arcanist, just like Fernando believed that he could escape from the pope who could not perform God's Arrival.
Malfurion was still worried. "I'll go with you and take a look."
