The sky was overcast, and there was a dull atmosphere in the air, and the heavy dark clouds seemed to be pressing down at any moment, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.

"What's going on with the weather? Lucy, who came out of the station, looked at the sky and said heavily. "And how is this city so ...... It's desolate," Lucy asked Virgil beside her, seeing the depressed appearance of the figures on the street.

Virgil looked up at the sky, and he felt an unusual magic that permeated the heavens and the earth, not strong, but everywhere. "Let's go, go to the sheriff to find out the situation first, and then think about how to solve the mission. ”

Although she wanted to complain and ask Virgil to find a place to live, after thinking about Virgil's personality and her own rent, Lucy wisely chose to keep up. It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the city's security department, but there were very few people working here, and they were more or less injured.

"Who are you!?" shouted a man who had spotted the arrival of the two men, causing everyone else to look at Virgil.

"We're the magicians we've been tasked with, and we're here to help you investigate the mission of the Magic Order. Virgil said to the man.

"Ahh The man said to Virgil and Lucy.

"Look!" Lucy raised her right hand and showed him the badge on the back of her hand.

"What about this one?" he asked strangely, seeing that Virgil did not move.

"He and I are from the same guild. Lucy explained.

"Prove it, then!" insisted the man.

Virgil was unable to take off half of his coat, revealing the badge imprinted on his left arm.

"Whew~~ That's no problem. I'm really sorry, but the situation has been serious recently, so the inspection has had to be a little stricter, so please forgive me. The man explained. "I'll take you to our chief now! He walked to the back.

Seeing the sheriff, Virgil and the others asked him for information about the Magic Order, but they only got some inconsequential information, and the suspected Magic Order hideout that was first discovered did not lead to any useful clues.

However, when Virgil said that he wanted to go to the place where the Magic Order had been found, the sheriff told Virgil that the place was dangerous, because they had also investigated before, but they were beaten back, and their men were also suffering heavy casualties. Even he didn't know who attacked them or what magic they used, and when he went to investigate later, he found nothing.

Bidding farewell to the sheriff, Virgil and Lucy roam the empty streets. Looking at Virgil, who was frowning and thinking about the problem, Lucy felt very powerless, "Virgil, no matter how difficult this task is, should we solve the problem first?" ”

"Oh, let's go, let's go eat first, then find a place to stay. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. As if he had just come to his senses, Virgil said to Lucy. After that, the two looked for a restaurant on the street that was still open and looked pretty good, and solved the stomach problem. This shop is considered to have a relatively good turnover, and at least there are still people eating. The continuous disappearance of people has caused panic in the whole city, and business is naturally not good.

I paid attention to the people eating in the restaurant, there were no suspicious people, and they were all ordinary people. In their conversations, they were basically talking about what the Order was doing, but there was no information available, but there was a lot of speculation from them. It seems that gossip is everywhere at any given time.

I found a hotel at random, but the two had a dispute about how many rooms to open. "You really don't need me to accompany you! You must know that this mission is very dangerous, and the enemy may have discovered us, and are really preparing for a sneak attack at night. Virgil quipped as he looked at Lucy.

"Compared to the mission, I still think you're a little more dangerous, as long as you don't come to attack me at night. Lucy complained, picked up the key to the room and went upstairs alone.

Virgil smiled at Lucy, who was leaving, opened an adjoining room again, and followed.

Lucy was quite tired from the day's journey, and when she returned to her room, she fell asleep. But Virgil did not rest, but sat quietly and waited.

--------- my --------- is ---------- divided ---------- -------- lines-------

Night, gradually. The dark canopy of heaven enveloped the earth, and in this city shrouded in fear, it seemed even more gloomy. The night wind whined, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the dark night.

Virgil opened his eyes, which had been closed, to look outside, and then disappeared from the room. Wander the streets, towards the Order's discovered base.

Although there was no one anymore, Virgil could clearly feel the familiar, evil magic that once permeated this place. And that thick smell of blood. After looking around, Virgil followed the passage and walked down the floor. Came to a place where the sheriffs hadn't been, an empty hall.

However, the traces here have been cleaned up thoroughly, leaving nothing but a stronger magical aura, and it seems that they left calmly. After beating the sheriff and his men away, they withdrew, and it was clear that the gang was just demonstrating, and they also thought that these people would call for help, so they immediately retreated, and the group of the Order was quite sensible, and there was a larger conspiracy hidden behind it.

Virgil walked to the center of the hall, and traces of a magic circle could still be seen on the ground. Now, however, nothing else is recognizable except for the mottled bloodstains.

Virgil took a few steps forward, crouched down and looked at the traces of the magic array on the ground, and gestured with his hands on the ground for a while. As if he had gained something, he stood up, took out the ebony wood, and opened fire to the left without looking at it.

"Bang Bang ......" Several arrogant (black miscellaneous soldiers) who suddenly jumped out were knocked out by Virgil and turned into dust when they landed. The scarlet magic array continued to unfold, and one by one arrogant people kept jumping out of it, screaming and walking towards Virgil.

Virgil glanced around and saw that there were other monsters mixed in with the guys, such as Red Lust and Gluttony (Spitting Sand). Looking at the demons surrounding him, Virgil pulled out his white tusks. "Looks like they touched the trap they left behind. Come on!!" Virgil said defiantly to the demons surrounding him.

As soon as the words fell, dozens of demons surrounding Virgil jumped up, howled and pounced on Virgil, lust hidden in arrogance, and at the same time accelerated towards Virgil.

"Bang Bang ......" shot a few shots to kill the lust that was rushing to the side, and then jumped away from the spot, dodging the arrogance that rushed at him. Jump back and forth with the heads of other demons as a pedal while firing guns to reduce the number of demons.

There was a violent inhalation of the "Hooth ......", and Virgil found himself unwittingly at the side of Gluttony, and they launched their vomit attack. "Bang Bang ......" several shots shattered several Gluttonies, but there were still a few Gluttonies who attacked. Virgil stomped the demon's head, shattering the demon under his feet, jumping high to avoid the spewing sand. While jumping, his body kept spinning, and his hands did not rest, constantly firing, shattering those demons who were jumping up and intending to attack him.

"Bang bang ......" gunshots continued, and it didn't take long for the summoned demon to be wiped out by Virgil.

"I thought it would make me happy, but I didn't expect it to be over. Virgil muttered to himself indifferently.

Suddenly, several demons (lazy, white teleporters) flashed around Virgil's side, surrounding Virgil in the middle, and the huge scythe in his hand quickly swung down, hitting Virgil.

"You bastards!!" came an angry curse from the demon's encirclement. At this time, Virgil held one in his hand, and drove two on his shoulder, one in front of the other, and at the same time held the other one with the scythe in his hand, and got stuck in these scythes in a strange posture.

"Keng~~" The sword flashed, and the demons surrounding him shattered into scattered sand. He patted himself on his body and slapped the sand off his body. found that the hem of his coat had been cut, which made Virgil very unhappy, and the interest he had just brought about hunting demons here dissipated completely. Putting away the Enma Knife and turning to leave, there were no clues here, and it was clear that this order might be the same group of people as the one he had met last time.

"Quack ......" There was a strange laugh behind Virgil as he turned to leave. Pull out the white ivory, switch to a magic bullet, and inject magic power. Without looking back, a shot shot was fired, blasting the Grim Reaper (an enlarged version of the miscellaneous soldiers) behind him into smoke.
