Chapter 216: The Game
A dense wood, shaded by trees, full of life...... Sight. It was supposed to be so, but it seems that some kind of evil force is hovering here, and the woods have lost their vitality at this moment.
In the center of the forest, far from the town, a large area of trees had been cut down, revealing a clearing in which an eerie magic array was arranged, constantly flashing with an ominous scarlet light.
A group of mysterious cloaked men surrounded the magic circle, like cultists performing some evil ritual.
And in the outermost places, there was also a circle of people, all of them standing there with blank eyes and dull eyes, like a group of puppet wax figures, which looked very weird.
From time to time, several or dozens of people would emerge from the crowd and enter the magic circle under the control of the cloaked man. When they walked into the magic circle, the entire magic circle seemed to come to life, and the scarlet light was like a liquid clinging to the body of the person who stepped into the magic circle.
It was only at this moment that these people seemed to regain their consciousness and began to struggle and scream, but all their struggles were useless, until everyone was swallowed by the magic array, and no one could escape from this small magic array.
"Huh?" As if sensing something, one of the cloaked men pulled out a crystal ball and operated it, and an image appeared on the crystal ball, showing the effects of Virgil walking into the town.
"Is it the Council, only one person?" muttered the cloaked leader as he looked at the visitor.
"The prey is already in the cage and starts to move according to the plan. ”
"Yes!"
They have been secretly operating on this continent for so many years, and they have dealt with the Council many times, so they naturally know that as long as their side starts to summon demons, the Council's monitoring system will be able to detect them immediately, so they have also used the Council in turn to test the performance of various demons, and have even been trying to summon and control more powerful demons.
Even if they can't control it in the end, they just run away, leaving that demon to the council to deal with, and there is basically nothing to lose for them.
However, it is a pity that most of the people who have been summoned over the years are miscellaneous soldiers, and few have summoned high-level demons, let alone the demon lord with wisdom that was summoned seven years ago.
Seeing that his subordinates began to control the demon attack on the incoming person, the leader of the cloaked people couldn't help but look forward to it, how long could this person last?
However, the next development completely slapped him in the face, and the demons sent out by his side did not hurt the other party in the slightest.
It's not even cannon fodder, it's just an ant.
At least the cannon fodder can sprinkle people's faces with ashes, and the ants are useless except for being directly crushed to death.
"Who the hell are you...... Blue magic sword, magic firearm ......" The leader looked at this somewhat familiar figure, not understanding what the other party was about.
They have collected very detailed information, and there are detailed records of who should not be provoked at this stage, and I really don't know where this guy came from.
"Wait, this silver-haired man ......" the leader seemed to remember something.
"Fairy Tail...... Virgil ...... "The leader uttered the name with a dry mouth.
No wonder it just looks a little familiar, the fairy tail has been silent for seven years and has been reduced to a miscellaneous fish-level magician guild, until it became a blockbuster in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, and it was not known to people again, so they naturally don't have much information.
However, the most powerful and dazzling magician in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, Virgil's intelligence is naturally collected by them.
"Aren't you a swordsman? What about your sword? who will recognize you if you don't hold a sword!" the leader complained frantically in his heart, saying that Virgil did not play according to the routine.
He couldn't help but be calm, the plans they prepared were all used to deal with the council's magic forces or those elite magic wizards.
Even if a magician of Natsu's level of Elusa came, they would have enough means to deal with it, after all, the vast sea of cannon fodder and demons with special abilities were enough for a magician of Natsu's level to stand it.
But none of this was enough to deal with Virgil. You must know that Virgil is in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts, but the person with the tail of the fairy is pressing and beating the other guilds.
It's not at the same level as the others, how can people play this time!The difficulty jumps directly from the novice mode to the hell mode, and the boss has already begun to think about the back road.
"Quick, send all the demons out, and send all the remaining sacrifices into the summoning array!"
The subordinates were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then Mali took action to carry out the orders of their superiors.
"Let's see you later...... Mr. Virgil. ”
……
Virgil has seen a lot of demons along the way, all of which are monsters that have appeared in the game, not only the three generations he played before he crossed over, but also the four generations of demons.
For example, the scarecrow that appeared before, and then the giant scarecrow, but it was useless except for being larger, and several phantom swords exploded.
A powerful demon soldier who looks like a rat and can sneak underground to the feet of the target, and then suddenly jump out to attack, but does this guy think that Virgil is blind, so much movement has been seen from afar, not to mention the explosion of phantom swords one by one.
Mephisto with a bird's head surrounded by a cloud of smoke, this guy is indeed a little interesting, and the body seems to be because of the black smoke, Virgil's phantom sword is almost ineffective except for blowing away some black smoke, but this is not a game, so the big head is exposed outside, isn't this looking for a fight?
All the way to the center of the town, not a single decent demon was all miscellaneous soldiers, and Virgil was not even interested in drawing a sword.
Continuing on, you are leaving the direction of the town, and there is nothing unusual on the straight street.
But the other street is different, not to mention the dense demons, there are dozens of huge stone chess sculptures.
"Tsk......" Virgil pouted disdainfully.
He suspected that these guys who summoned demons had a problem with their brains, so he didn't talk about arranging those demons, but who could afford to put these chess pieces that were problematic at first glance in such a strange place!
If Virgil hadn't walked off the street and on the rooftop, the guys wouldn't have to be dumbfounded.
However, Virgil did not choose such a clever approach.
It's not because of some real man who has to face the difficulties of the macho philosophy.
Instead, cleaning up these demons for a while allowed Virgil to regain the feeling of playing games at home, which made him a little carried away and didn't want to end the game so quickly.
And these chess pieces are a special existence in the game, that is, they have an invincible state. As long as they don't change color, that is, they are activated, and they are indestructible.
This can be said to be very annoying in the game.,Often interrupt people's rhythm.,And then be attacked by other monsters to take away a lot of blood (that's how the author cooks.)。
"Hum......" Virgil raised his right hand, and dozens of phantoms were called out.
"Whoosh...... "Whoosh" under the arm pressed the sword rain and shot out in an instant, shooting towards the chess pieces in the distance.
Then the phantom swords crackled to the ground, turning into magic and dissipating into the air.
Looking at the undamaged chess pieces, a smile tugged at the corners of Virgil's mouth, and then he pulled out the Enma Knife.
"Interesting, it's worth my sword. ”
