Act Thirty-Six: The Devil's Tide Comes

The frenzied storm intensified at this time, and the hoarfrost spread towards the towering walls of the Ultramarine Keep, stopping in front of the cyan firelight, but the chill seeped into the masonry and into everyone's clothes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind blew up the decaying leaves, forming a huge tide in the sky, and the whistling sound was like a mournful cry, making the teeth of those who heard it sour and shivered.

The howls of the monsters continued one after another, and the roar resounded through the forest, pouring from all sides towards the isolated fortress.

The already cold and bone-chilling rain had frozen and turned into frost at this time, and the weak monsters could not even resist such a rain of magical power, and dissolved and collapsed in the scream, turning into a puddle of rotten flesh.

Deep purple lightning snaked through the sky for miles, and a low thunderclap was about to come out, and the world seemed to be plunged into chaos, and order and law were gone.

At this time, corresponding to the arrival of the demon tide is the fire of the travelers in the eternal night forest.

Shimmer crystals lit up one by one, including hunters searching for prey in the Eternal Night Forest, as well as travelers who had just left the Ultramarine Fortress and wanted to return to the Land of Order, the shimmer crystals in their hands became the only reliance at the moment, and the faint light built order and law, making it impossible for wild magic to start.

Slender pillars of light shot straight into the sky, contrasting sharply with the thick pale cyan pillars of fire of the Ultramarine Fortress.

This is the flame of order and the fire of life.

However, there's more to the Tide than that.

In the midst of this stormy scene, a wolf howl sounded suddenly.

First, a high-pitched howl pierced through the curtain of the storm, and even the heavy masonry could not block it, and the long roar echoed through the firmament square, echoing in every corridor and hall of the Ultramarine Fortress, and it was terrifying.

Immediately after, as if guided by it, countless howls rang out, which was a sound that hit the origin of everyone's soul, a voice that had been feared on the side of order for thousands of years, and a considerable number of people who were not strong even fell to their knees when they heard this howl, unable to move.

It's a wolf howl.

According to the holy texts of the Templar, the first enemy the ancient sages encountered when they conquered the wasteland was the Winter Wolf.

The minions of these Chaos People are generally larger than normal wolves, and they are much stronger, and for a long time, they have been one of the deepest nightmares of mankind.

With its snow-white fur, sharp teeth and claws, and red eyes, the Winter Wolf often arrives with the freezing rain of extreme cold, and legend has it that these creatures bring winter, as the Lord of Frost, the head wolf Siv was once the Seven Lords of the People of Chaos, and was defeated by the "Wolf Shepherd" Reed Gray in the Holy War a thousand years ago, which caused the Winter Wolf's offensive to collapse.

The wolf pack in the sky, the endless winter snow, and the bone-chilling cold, this is the description of wolf plague in the holy text, and as the first monster attack in the Bunajn region for many years, the winter wolf galloping can scare most children cry just by saying it.

But now these legends have long since become a reality.

From the west of the Ultramarine Fortress, it was like a gust of wind passing through, and those faint pillars of light were extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the extinguishing of each crystal represented the demise of at least one person.

There are some slightly thicker pillars of light, which are large shimmer crystals, holding a team of adventurers who have at least three years of experience in the activities of the Eternal Night Forest, and there are many of them who are strong in the Black Iron Rank, but under the devastating attack of the running wolf, those pillars of light only flickered a few times and then dimmed forever, and there was no movement anymore, and the speed of the wolf tide could not even be slowed down at all.

No one dared to imagine what had happened to these people, because it was not long before they could have encountered the same thing.

The pillars of light were converging towards the Ultramarine Fortress, and they wanted to seek refuge, but the speed of human movement was still too slow, and there was no way to beat these fierce beasts that were born to hunt and kill, these points of light were like candles in the wind, and if they were not careful, they would fall into eternal darkness.

And in the square, Lawson and the others immediately felt the magic of the demon tide.

The elemental realm is restless, the sea of magic is making waves, the laws on the edge of the fortress are being stripped away little by little, the frenzied magic is constantly hitting the barriers of order, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it breaks through.

Although it is only a small wave, its impact is still immeasurable.

"It's going to start in two days, how can it be ......?"

Grantia's face was full of disbelief, even though she knew that a demon tide of this size would not pose a threat to Ultramarine Fortress as long as the defensive circle was activated, she couldn't help but panic in the face of the catastrophe that humans had fought against for thousands of years.

"Miss Grandia, please come with me to the core center to activate the defensive circle, since the demon tide is in advance, then the seal of the defensive circle will definitely be opened in advance. ”

Gascoigne said, he was quite calm, after all, he didn't know how many monsters he had fought against on weekdays, so he was naturally very calm at the moment.

"Close the gates, the whole city is on alert, and all those who have not had time to evacuate are in a state of readiness!"

He shouted, causing the panicked crowd to fall silent.

Many of these people actually came to Ultramarine Fortress at this time of year out of speculation, and they had no idea about guarding this fortress, but at this time, they had no choice but to stay here, after all, they knew on their knees that going out would mean death.

"Someone's back in town!"

There was a shout from the east entrance, and Lawson turned his head, only to see the familiar guy.

It's Io.

The skinny man's face was pale at this time, and he covered his bleeding arm, biting his lip, and calling out to the people around him.

"Hurry up and save them...... We met wolves in the forest......"

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted due to excessive blood loss, and as for his companion, Rosen looked at the blood-red scene at the city gate, and Furui Wubo's heart was also a little unbearable.

None of his companions except Io escaped from the Winter Wolf's mouth, and with him was a young girl whose belly was dyed bright red, and she collapsed as soon as she stepped into the city, and from her stomach flowed cloudy pink entrails, staining the stone pavement crimson, and her eyes were too wide to close for a long time.

Others, on the other hand, were forever drowned in the raging storm outside.

One after another, adventurers poured into the city, and they were more or less attacked by monsters, and they were badly damaged, and many of them may not be able to get up again for the rest of their lives, and many may never see the sun of tomorrow.

The wails and wolf howls echoed, giving the entire square an aura of slaughter.

Gascoigne sighed lightly, he was used to seeing life and death, but he couldn't get used to such a scene anyway, the old knight shook his head, and finally looked at Grandia.

"Without further ado, we need to hurry!"
