Usually, only demons with thick skin and strong bodies who were not afraid of death would dare to use a realm crack. Although it was not as safe and stable as a portal, it was more convenient and flexible. It could open a crack at any time and send the terrifying monsters from the Endless Abyss to other realms, just like what Baiyi was facing now.
Even though the demons had not come out from the crack yet, Baiyi could still vaguely smell a sulfuric stench from afar. Still, he was not worried or nervous at all. Instead, he recalled what had happened before and said in the Void, "Looks like the assassin did not lie to me. They do not believe in God. They believe in the demons."
"I really wonder which lunatic would open a crack in such a place?" The Devil said helplessly, "Looks like ever since I left the abyss, they have become more and more brainless."
"Don't slander your own kind," Baiyi said.
"Don't confuse me with those lowly creatures!" The Devil replied rudely.
So, this is the devil... Baiyi sighed inwardly. Raising his hand, he cast an Alarm Spell. Red fireworks exploded above the town, accompanied by an ear-piercing screech that sounded like the air raid sirens on Earth.
The townspeople were soon awakened by the loud noise. A few families who lived closer to the square opened their doors and saw Baiyi standing in the middle of the square with the help of the smoke that had yet to dissipate. Instead of asking what was going on, they exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Isn't this the strange son-in-law of the Thane? "
How did you think of this kind of interpersonal relationship? Does Mia-chan look like she's going to get married? Baiyi thought helplessly. In order to avoid panic, he shouted in a more reserved manner, "Everyone, get out of the house! Go to the hill behind and take shelter!"
The townsfolk were still a little confused, but very soon, a series of whistling sounds came from the direction of the entrance of the town, and a few burning fireballs were flying in their direction. It was obvious that they were being projected toward the location where the alarm had sounded.
Baiyi quickly raised his hand, and a circle of fiery red formation appeared in front of his palm. Several smaller fireballs shot out from the formation and flew towards the larger fireballs in the air, detonating them in midair and exploding into balls of fire.
"Wa wa wa wa wa wa! What just happened? "the townspeople exclaimed.
"There's no time to explain! Run to the back of the mountain!" Baiyi continued to shout. "Don't take the valuables! Run!"
Unfortunately, his voice was soon drowned out by the panicked clamor. The scene was a mess, and the townspeople did not seem to give him face just because he was the lord's son-in-law.
Fortunately, Mia's father and Mia arrived just in time. The little girl threw herself into Baiyi's arms and looked at him with concern. Just as Mia's father was about to ask, a second round of fireballs came crashing down from the sky. This time, the number of fireballs was twice as many as the first!
However, it was still within Baiyi's capabilities. He changed the Rapid Fireball that he used earlier to the Enhanced Rapid Fireball and used his Psychic Energy to accurately control each and every fireball. Once again, the enemy's attack was intercepted in the air.
Mia's father's face turned pale. He had been to the battlefield before and he had seen the sorcerers in action but he had never seen a sorcerer who could cast spells like Baiyi. Just as he was about to ask something, Baiyi turned around and said to him, "There's a crack in the realm outside the town. I don't know how many devils are coming over. Hurry up and bring the civilians to safety."
"Devils?" Mia's father was stunned. The term sounded familiar yet strange to him at the same time.
"Yes, devils. We don't have time to talk. Hurry up and bring the people away," Baiyi added.
"What about you? Where are you going? "Mia's father asked quickly. He looked at Baiyi and did not move at all.
"I'm going to stop them for a while. I'll buy you some time," Baiyi replied. "If they manage to break in, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I'll help you. We have our own militia in the town," Mia's father said without a hint of fear on his face.
"Don't give me any more trouble," Baiyi said rudely, "Just let Mia follow me. Bring the people and hide at the back of the mountain." Having said that, he held Mia's little hand and lowered his head to look at her. The little girl was wearing a beautiful new dress that he had given her. Even though her beautiful face was tense, there was no sign of fear on it. She did not say a word but she tightened her grip on Baiyi's hand. Then, she turned around and gave her father a determined look. There was something in that look that she wanted to tell her father.
"Mia? You … "Mia's father was still hesitant but when he saw the look in his daughter's eyes, he understood his daughter's choice. Raising his head, he said to Baiyi," Mr. Hope, I'll leave Mia in your hands. "
"Don't worry. I'm afraid there are not many people in this realm who can hurt her in front of me," Baiyi said and nodded to Mia's father. Then, he held Mia's hand and walked towards the town gate.
Mia's father could only stare at the two of them for a long time before he turned around and started to evacuate the townspeople.
On the way, Baiyi roughly sensed the energy waves coming from outside the town and estimated the number of devils. Patting Mia's head, he said, "There are quite a lot of enemies this time. Are you afraid?"
The little girl looked at him with a serious expression. Tightly pursing her thin lips, she shook her head hard and said with determination, "The reason why I study magic is so that I can protect everyone one day."
"Very good! Very good! That's the kind of Mia I like! But, remember to arm yourself well before you go to the battlefield. Go, change into that robe! " Baiyi said in satisfaction. At the same time, he raised his right hand towards the sky again. As he spoke, the third wave of fireballs was intercepted.
"Remember to move faster," he reminded.
Mia quickly ran into an empty house nearby and changed into the purple robe that she had worn in the ring. Then, she took out the Ice Staff and transformed back into the fairy-like beauty that she once was.
"That's what I want to do when I face thousands of soldiers and horses with this beautiful body," Baiyi said in a low voice.
At that moment, there were nearly a hundred devils gathered outside the town. Most of them were the Gogs. This kind of relatively weak devil was born with the ability to release fireball magic. It was one of the long-range firepower of the devil army. The attack on the town earlier was also done by them.
In front of the Gogs, there was a group of small Fallen Demons. They were the lowest level of devils that could pass through the realm crack at the fastest speed. They were also one of the main cannon fodder. However, at that moment, they were not as brainless as what the Devil had described them to be. They did not charge towards the defenseless town while screaming. Instead, they were silent and orderly standing in front of the Gogs, providing cover for them.
They had already formed a simple formation, indicating that this group of devils was trained by a Lord of the Abyss who was good at training soldiers.
At the back of this simple formation was the realm crack that was constantly emitting spatial fluctuations. The crack looked like a hole that was poked by a finger on a scroll. There were all kinds of devils coming out from it. With the cover of the low-level devils in front of them, they could safely pass through the crack.
After a few ferocious and strong hellhounds walked out of the crack, a figure that looked like a human woman slowly emerged from the crack. The process of passing through was so slow that one could even see with the naked eye that the shadow was slowly solidifying into a solid body. This meant that the owner of the shadow was very powerful.
Finally, the one that appeared in front of the crack was a female devil that looked like a succubus. She also had an impressive figure that was far better than a human woman and a gorgeous and charming face. However, there were two long horns on her head and instead of the succubus' bat wings on her back, she had four spider-like limbs.
As soon as this female devil arrived, she greedily breathed in the air. Her proud chest rose and fell violently. Then, she stuck out her forked tongue like a snake and licked her sexy lips. She said with great interest, "I smell fear and despair in this dirty air. This is the sweetest smell in the world. Thank you, generous master, for letting me come here."
After saying that, she looked at the other devils that were clumsily lining up in formation. Some of them did not have night vision, and their level of training was not as good as the Fallen. After a moment of confusion, they messed up the neat formation.
The female devil frowned in dissatisfaction and scolded the few Minotaurs that were the largest in size, "Light the torches first! You lowly creatures, are your brains not as good as the Fallen? You can't even form a line … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a sudden magical fluctuation appear in the formation of the Fallen. A circle of ice that was shining in the dark appeared and quickly spread out in the formation of the Fallen.
It was the Level-5 Ice Magic – Frost Nova.
The group of brainless Fallen were frozen into ice sculptures before they could even react. Because the formation was neat and compact, the power of the Frost Nova was maximized.
The female devil suddenly let out an angry scream. Then, she glanced around and finally fixed her eyes on a spot. Then, she stretched out her right hand and released a black lightning towards the air.
The air that was hit by the black lightning was like a calm lake that had a stone thrown into it. Ripples appeared and then, two figures appeared.
At this time, the other devils had already lit up a few campfires. Under the illumination of the fire, the female devil saw the people that were hiding there before. A little girl and a gray Soul Armature?
