Flower of Dawn Blooming in the Darkness (2)
Arrogaya is a remote place where even the nearby station has long been driven by magic wheels, and it was once a bustling city, but the demons created by Jelf have completely turned it into history.
After a day and a night of driving the magic wheel, Elifer and Ikaruga finally arrived at their destination, Arrogaya.
"This is the power of demons, human civilization is so vulnerable to such a behemoth. ”
As far as the eye can see, the weathered, broken walls and potholed streets are far from here in terms of scale alone.
I don't know why, but the sky here is always cloudy as if it was about to rain, but there is no rain at all.
Walking into the city, a cold breath comes to the face, not to mention the vitality of the whole city, not even the vegetation and even weeds are not there.
"It seems that because there are no humans living here, and because of the influence of demonic aura, it has become a holy place for those demonic beasts!"
The turtledove flicked off its scabbard, and it looked like it was facing a great enemy.
The low roar of a beast shattered the false calm.
"Looks surrounded!"
The appearance is like a wolf, but it is very different, the red hairs on the body are like thorns all over the body, and some of the dark green eyes even leave only one, not to mention the terrifying appearance, what makes people even more desperate is that these monsters continue to come out of the house and the street!
The turtledove felt that things were a little tricky, this demonized beast was not only territorial, but they could also lock a person's scent for a long time, and it was not easy to get rid of it.
"yes, they're surrounded by us!"
The ground shook suddenly, no, not the ground, even the sky was shaking, the field was shaking!
"Get out of the way!"
A huge magic array appeared under the feet of the two, and the demonic beast standing on the magic array suddenly burned black flames, and a terrible roar made the demonic beast that was about to move next to it gradually retreat into the shadows and disappear.
After clearing the obstacles, the two continued to walk towards the center of the city, this time they did not encounter any magical beasts, but the turtledove found that the candle flames around him were getting darker and darker, and even the turtledove's own head was a little groggy.
"Don't get lost in the dark. ”
The turtledove suddenly woke up in a trance, and only then did she realize that she had been standing still all along!
What kind of power is this......
Turtledove felt a cold sweat running down her back, and just as she was thinking wildly, a delicate hand grabbed her.
"Be careful under your feet. ”
Erifer reminded very kindly.
"This ......!!!"
The turtledove's grip on Ellifer's hand suddenly tightened, the ground was light and dust, the turtledove hadn't noticed before, but now she realized that the ground was covered with human corpses!
Some were mutilated because they were bitten by demonic beasts.
Some have been turned into bones because of time.
Ikaruga was the one who assassinated the guild, and the corpses were just too sudden, and she soon calmed down.
"A few years ago, when I first joined the guild, I posted a quest, and the quest items were searched for here, because I was busy with other things and didn't have time to deal with them, and there may be people who died because of it. ”
"What about those people?"
The turtledove pointed to the dried bones.
"You know, there's no shortage of crazy people in the world. ”
The two of them continued to move forward, perhaps because the monster was on the outskirts of the city, or for some other reason, until they reached the center without encountering any other monster.
"Wouldn't it be too calm?"
After hearing this, Elie Phil smiled very interestingly, "The miscellaneous soldiers must be in the outermost part, and the innermost is the protagonist." ”
The two stopped.
In the center of the city, the entire ground seems to have been struck by a meteorite, and the ground is recessed into a hemispherical crater with a radius of several hundred meters.
It's dark, like an abyss, and you can't catch the things of the mission, but there is one exception.
In the center of the pit, flowers as holy as lilies grow, quietly blooming in the darkness with a faint light.
"It's incredible to be able to grow here unaffected. ”
"It should be affected by the environment, it was originally just an ordinary flower and plant growing in this rich darkness and has undergone a mutation, let's go, our goal is it. ”
The ground was sticky, like glue, and Lion's head in Ellifer's arms was squeezing desperately against Elefer's chest.
"Nasty...... Flavor. ”
Lion's voice was faint, and the turtledove's pupils shrank, "It's blood!"
Elie Phil carefully removed the flowers.
"It's better not to stay in this place for long. ”
Seeing that Elip Phil had picked up what she wanted and wasn't going to leave, Ikaruga couldn't help but speak.
"I remember that this city was almost dead because of the arrival of demons, don't you think there are too few corpses outside?"
The crater shook suddenly, and Ellifer reached out for a moment, and a glowing orb rose into the air.
At this time, the turtledoves found that the surrounding walls were cracked into dense holes, and countless spiders had come out of them, and the ground that had been felt sticky was made of blood and made of sticky rivers, which had been mixed with the soil and turned into mud over time.
The turtledove's face immediately turned a little pale.
The spider swarm surrounded the two of them, but they squeaked and made extremely harsh sounds as if they were under control.
Ellifer stretched out her hand, and the pitch-black flames rose from the palm of her hand and were thrown around, and the flames of destruction spread wildly from the inside out, and the original spider swarm was burned completely in the blink of an eye, but there was still a steady stream of spiders pouring out of the mouth.
"If you can't control these disgusting things, I don't mind helping you solve them all at once!"
The spider colony stopped moving in an instant and returned to its original place like a low tide.
"These things ......"
Elephil smiled meaningfully, "It's Jelf's demons who created these things from their surroundings. ”
"But if the rumors are true?"
Turtledove asked the question, but in her mind she had something else in mind.
Who is the holy man who can make all the demons of Jelf fear?
"That's not right, it should be said that it is the soul of the demon, if it is really a demon, there is no need to rely on these miscellaneous soldiers. ”
"Miscellaneous ......"
The turtledove couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
"By the way, I've heard before that the 'Six Demon Generals' in the Badam Alliance seem to be about to make a move. ”
The Guild of Light has a Council of Magic, and the usually mysterious Guild of Darkness also has an alliance against the Guild of Light, the Badam Alliance.
The Badam Alliance is composed of three powerful dark guilds, the "Six Demon Generals", the "Gate of Hades", and the "Heart of the Demons", the most mysterious of which is the "Gate of Hades", even the number of members is a mystery, and the same is true for the other two guilds that are also members of the Badam Alliance.
Different from the miscellaneous dark guilds that were once swept away by the Thunder God Clan, the three top dark guilds in the Badam Alliance, each combat member is at least an S-level mage!
"Mira also sent me a message, the Council has formed a crusade team, all of them are famous magicians of those guilds, but just in case, let's go and check it out!"
