The carriages were squeezed together, and the merchants were cursing. The city gate was still closed, but Layel's heart could not calm down.
Something big was going to happen. She had a feeling that something big was going to happen.
Layel got off the carriage and looked at the coachman, "Please take care of the people inside."
"Miss? I'll go too … Cough cough! "
The white-haired butler Grano wanted to get out of the carriage, but Layel stopped him, "No, your injuries haven't healed yet. I'm just going to evacuate the people to avoid any accidents."
Grano's face had a few more wrinkles. He seemed to understand that he could not help her.
"I understand. Please be careful."
"Okay."
Hearing this, she nodded to the coachman. The masked coachman nodded knowingly and then drove the carriage away.
Layel had a determined expression as she passed through the long line.
The tightly locked gate and the barrier that had been activated for more than half an hour already proved the severity of the situation. Although she did not know what was going on inside, it was definitely not something good.
There were no guards in front of the city gate. The merchants were all alone. She suddenly jumped up and flew in the air, appearing in front of the crowd.
"I'm a special representative of the adventurer's guild. According to the laws of the various empires, once the barrier is activated, no one is allowed to get close to the city gate. So, please leave immediately! "
She shouted. The noisy merchants looked at her and shouted, "This place is not under the jurisdiction of the adventurer's guild!"
"We want to enter the city!"
"My deal is today. If we can't enter the city, I'll starve to death!"
The merchants were not a group of obedient people. They did not put Layel in their eyes at all. Merchants who were rich would usually hire bodyguards who could use magic. Layel could not scare them away with just a few moves. Instead, she would attract the attention of the bodyguards. They were eager to show off and ask for a higher reward.
So, it was hard for Layel to evacuate the crowd alone.
However, at this moment, the city gate rumbled and opened up a small gap.
"It's open!"
"Finally willing to open the gate!"
Layel turned around. When everyone tried to squeeze in, they suddenly realized that the inside was also full of people. They wanted to get out, but their faces were filled with panic.
"Don't get close to the city gate! Get out of there! "
Rayle suddenly reacted and shouted loudly.
However, after the enchantment of the city was activated, sound was isolated. The people inside could not hear her voice at all. Instead, they rushed out in a rush.
However, the barrier was still in effect.
Puff! Poof!
The first group of people who rushed out touched the translucent barrier. Suddenly, a terrifying force rebounded and instantly smashed people and cars into pieces. The horrifying scene of flesh and blood was vivid in the eyes of the people blocking the city gate. They all widened their eyes and their faces were pale.
The people inside all had expressions of despair. The people at the front wanted to brake and turn around, but the people at the back did not know the situation at the front and were still desperately pushing forward.
As a result, the people in front were pushed closer to the city gate.
Poof!
Under the terrifying energy of the barrier, it was like countless eggs being put into a blender.
Lehr's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth.
Many of the merchants closed their eyes and started vomiting.
"Retreat! Don't block the way! "
"Ah! Run! "
In an instant, fear spread outside the city. The merchants blocking the city gate abandoned their cars and fled. The merchants at the back did not know what was going on. In short, they just followed the crowd and ran. They hurriedly drove their carriages and turned around to run.
Tears flowed from Layel's eyes. She helplessly watched as the despairing people turned into minced meat. She could not do anything.
"No!"
Suddenly! She gritted her teeth and clenched the glass staff in her hand. Her hair and eyes emitted a strange light at the same time.
Magic overload. She poured a large amount of magic into the staff in her hand.
"Light Destruction Cannon!"
The staff that gathered a large amount of magic emitted a scorching and dazzling light. Suddenly, it turned into a terrifying beam of light and hit the enchantment of the city gate.
Although the enchantment could resist all attacks, magic with strong penetration such as light and dark magic could still affect the inside of the enchantment.
"Ah!"
The powerful impact hit the enchantment. Suddenly, with a bang, a wave-like fluctuation appeared on the enchantment. The explosion created a terrifying gust of wind that directly blew the people near the city gate away.
However, at this moment, Layel saw through the enchantment that the people inside were truly terrified. A group of monsters that she had never seen before appeared in her sight. They rushed into the crowd and began a massacre …
At this moment, in the ancient castle, because Keanus had brought a large number of guards out of the ancient castle, the defensive power of the ancient castle was weak. The invading monsters did not encounter much resistance and occupied the ancient castle.
Edward snuck into the ancient castle. He had been here before and knew where the room that controlled the city enchantment was. Hiding in the shadows, he could see countless monsters on the way. Logically speaking, he should be able to turn off the city enchantment very quickly.
However.
"I won't let you have your way."
A golden-haired girl appeared at the top of the ancient castle tower. She swung her legs and smiled sinisterly. Suddenly, the monsters in the ancient castle reacted. Their mouths suddenly spat out black blood and smeared the surrounding walls.
At this moment, the black shadow that was passing through the walls of the ancient castle suddenly crashed into the wall covered in black blood with a bang.
Edward emerged from the shadows and landed safely on the ground with a backflip.
"What!"
He suddenly looked up and saw a monster with a distorted body that looked like a fusion of four or five people.
There was magic in the black blood. They formed a wall, and Shadow Ander could not pass through the other party's magic wall.
Did these monsters have such intelligence?
This was troublesome!
Suddenly, the monster attacked him, waving the limbs on his body and continuously attacking. Edward leaped back, leaving a black shadow where he had just been. When the monster stepped on it, it was stuck to the ground.
"Shadow Sticky Mass!"
Edward did not want to waste any more time with this monster. He wanted to go around it and go to the control room.
However, the monster that was restricted suddenly split open and claws that looked like crab legs extended from the crack.
"What!"
Edward was shocked. He had never seen such a monster before. There were actually other monsters hiding in its body?
The monster was like a cocoon that had hatched into a new monster. It had a hard shell that looked like it was covered in white bones. Its body crawled on the ground like a beetle. There were four claws like a crab in front of it. The claws were as sharp as knives, and the tail was like a scorpion's stinger.
"Toy Number One! Cute little scorpion! "
The blonde girl somehow saw the scene in the room. The color of her left eye was different from her right eye. It was as if there was a black curtain covering it.
…
"What kind of monster is this!"
Edward's expression became serious. Suddenly, the new monster pounced at him with terrifying speed. Its four claws were like four knives as it swung at him.
He leaped up and stepped on the ceiling upside down. His feet were wrapped in a black shadow, and he was hanging on top of it.
"Shadow Thread!"
A black thread shot out from his hand and was about to stick to the monster's sadness. He immediately pulled the thread and stuck it to the ceiling. Then the thread shrank and the monster floated in the air. He hung it on the ceiling.
He somersaulted back to the ground. Just as he was about to run, the monster suddenly cut the black thread with its claws and attacked him.
"What!"
Edward's eyes widened. That was his special ability to materialize magic into thin threads. They could be stretched hundreds of meters and were extremely flexible. Even the sharpest knife could not cut them.
Seeing the four sharp blades coming at him, Edward gritted his teeth. At this moment, his hand touched the wall.
"Tide!"
Suddenly, the Shadow Mana in his hand burst out. The compressed Mana was energized in an instant and blew out the outer layer of Mana. In an instant, it was like a wave crashing against a reef. A huge black wave blocked in front of Edward.
"Materialize!"
The black magic solidified instantly and materialized into a soft rubber-like shield that could absorb a large amount of impact and damage.
However! A cold light suddenly appeared in the black shield. A thin, sword-like bone spike pierced through the shield and pierced towards his heart.
"Hahaha! It's useless! This can't stop my little scorpion! "
The blonde girl laughed loudly.
Drip! Drip!
Large amounts of blood dripped onto the floor. Edward gritted his teeth. His left hand was in front of him. Now, only half of his wrist was left.
"Ah!"
He endured the pain and staggered back a few steps. A black magic power immediately wrapped around his wound and forcibly stopped the bleeding.
"Damn it! If only Philox was here. "
Edward gritted his teeth. He was not good at fighting. He was originally just a thief. Perhaps he was the weakest in the team.
At this time, the black shield was constantly being broken and many small holes appeared. It seemed that it would not last much longer.
The injured Edward stood up and jogged. Perhaps he could use this time to run to the control room!
However, the next moment, there was a squelch. Accompanied by a terrifying smile, the terrifying monster broke through the black shield.
"Eh? Where are you? Trying to run? "
The monster quickly discovered Edward's trace. When it moved, Edward instantly understood that he could not outrun it.
Although he had run more than ten meters, the distance had been reduced to less than three meters in two seconds.
The monster raised four swords and rushed towards him. Edward understood that he only had two choices now.
One was to continue running and be killed.
The other was to fight back and fight back …
"Ah!"
Edward's expression was ferocious. He suddenly jumped up and jumped high.
"Again? The same trick is useless! "
The girl's voice sounded out, and the monster leaped up and spread out its four blades, making a slashing motion.
However, at this time, the monster finally noticed the black substance on Edward's feet.
"What?!"
The black thread was connected to the ground.
"Shrink!"
Edward roared. Suddenly, his feet sank. His body immediately flew downwards. The monster's four swords missed. Edward was pulled by the black thread and slid under the monster's stomach.
At that moment, he saw the hole in the monster's stomach that was used for breathing. There was no white bone there!
"Ah!"
Edward slashed the monster's stomach with his dagger. Immediately, red blood sprayed onto the ground.
"Ah! My toy! "
The blonde girl let out a piercing scream. She gritted her teeth and showed an angry expression. However, after a few seconds, she regained her smile.
"I lied to you. I have plenty of these toys …"
Edward was still in shock. He held his broken arm and gasped for air. He glanced at the monster's body on the ground and continued on his way.
At this time, at the entrance of the castle, a man wearing a strange mask and a black robe stood among a pile of strange corpses. He held a cane and looked like he was at ease.
He was Zha Wanwan, who was with Edward. His ability was to control corpses. However, that was just a phenomenon. At the same time, he could use magic potions to make poison. He was a very dangerous person.
Zha Wanwan looked back at the castle.
"Edward, that guy is too slow. Could he have met with an accident?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a crawling monster quickly appeared at the door and rushed toward him. However, the moment it got close to Zha Wanwan, the corpse on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed the monster. At the same time, the surrounding corpses rushed over and entangled the monster tightly.
Zha Wanwan walked in front of the monster and took out a bottle of red liquid.
"Welcome to the Death Soldier family. You will be called Death Soldier No. 70 from now on."
After that, he poured the liquid in the bottle on the monster's head. Immediately, the red liquid dissolved into the monster's body. The monster screamed in pain and stopped struggling.
Zha Wanwan turned around and looked at the group of monsters that were walking towards him.
"It's time to work, new recruits."
He shouted. The surrounding corpses stood up at the same time and faced the group of monsters.
"Kill them!"
Zha Wanwan pointed to the front. Suddenly, the Death Soldiers beside him rushed forward.
A very fierce battle broke out. The Death Soldiers who were not afraid of death held the monsters back.
However, at this time, Zha Wanwan saw a tall and black monster in the group of monsters. It was different from the other monsters. Its magic was far more powerful than ordinary monsters.
"Hurry up, Edward. I can't hold on for much longer."
Zha Wanwan held his cane tightly. He saw the black monster rushing towards him like a tank. It easily knocked away everything in front of it and went straight for Zha Wanwan.
…
"Almost there. It's going to succeed."
Edward was a little out of breath. He ran all the way. He had lost a lot of blood.
However, just as he was about to reach the control room, he suddenly stopped.
A burst of black magic spread out from the end of the corridor like a fog. It even drifted to Edward's feet.
Thump! Thump!
His heart was beating wildly. Fear filled his heart. He lowered his head and could not move.
He gritted his teeth and his eyes were trembling. He knew that there was a terrifying monster waiting for him at the end of the corridor.
