Chapter 197: The Gate of Eclipse Chapter: Light and Darkness
Smoke was billowing from all sides of the city, indicating that it was in a state of extreme insecurity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention how many civilians were killed by the initial shelling and final fall of the Underworld Island. The half-human, half-demon followers of the Gates of Hades, released from the Isle of the Underworld, and the thorny enemies of the Nine Ghost Gates, all plunged the royal city into an even more chaotic situation.
This led to a great panic. The gates were crowded with nobles and commoners trying to escape, and the magicians had to tear down parts of the walls so that they could evacuate to a greater extent. The guards defending the city and the magicians who volunteered to stay behind would fight here until all the unarmed nobles and commoners had left the city, and they had no choice between continuing the battle against the Gates of Hades or retreating strategically.
As the two main centers here, the King and the Speaker of the Council of Magic do their best to maintain order in the royal city. They were dealing with one battle report after another, and answering accordingly. It wasn't until the Emerald Princess was safely escorted here that the king found time to comfort the frightened princess.
"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"No, no, father...... I'm sorry, I was scammed, I made everything so bad. β
The king held the weeping daughter in his arms, and although he shook his head, he could not say anything to refute it. He knew that was the case. He didn't think about how the Fiore royal family would apologize to the public after everything was over, all he thought about was how to deal with the current situation.
As he pondered these questions, he could hear a commotion coming from outside. Speaker Quran rose from his position, strode to the king's side, and exchanged a restless look with him. The former Councillor Yajma was also here, and he had come to help Speaker Quran, and he also came over with a hunched body.
Then, the door was pierced, and the body of a man rushed in. When the Speaker of the Quran tried to defend himself, he realized that it was not the enemy.
It was Arcadios, the head of the Sakura Knights, who had been disemboweled by an evil thorn, and he was nailed to the wall by the thorns, and blood was spilled. When the Emerald Princess saw this terrible scene, she screamed in fright.
There were more terrible shouts outside, and it was clear that neither the guards nor the wizards of the Magic Council had been able to stop the arrival.
Speaker Quran furrowed his eyebrows. Yajma was beside him and exclaimed, "What a terrible evil magic this is...... Looks like the boss of the Gates of Hades has come to the door, Gouran. β
Gulen agrees.
Only three people walked in. One is silver, and the other is the man who killed Arcadios. Dutton also didn't survive, he had his spine broken and collapsed outside, dying. There is also a creature that looks more like a monster, he has a human body, but has a huge one-eyed, he is Franmars, the demon of the Nine Ghost Gates who can absorb souls to strengthen himself.
The man who killed Arkadios was dressed very well, and if he hadn't done such a terrible thing, the king, the Qur'an, and Argyma would have regarded him as a respectable nobleman.
"Thorn Magic...... The well-informed Ajima quickly recognized the magic used by the man. "It's ordinary magic, but it's the first time I've ever seen anyone use it to such a terrifying degree. Are you all Nine Ghost Sects?"
"Ah......" replied the man standing in front of Silver, in an unhurried tone, "I see, the King, the Speaker of the Quran, Councilor Ajimahara, and my favorite Princess, Jade, you are all here." β
When the Emerald Princess heard her name be mentioned, she looked up from behind her father and saw the face of the man in front of her, and then she trembled violently.
The king felt the fear of his daughter, but his diminutive stature could not stop the man's unbridled gaze at his daughter, and he could only glare at him.
"Jade, it's him, it's this man who cheated on you, right?"
Jade trembled and didn't dare to answer.
"I've been taught a very obedient lesson, and sure enough, Crazy Hua and Sierra are very good at torturing others. The man said with a smile. She couldn't even speak. So let me explain to you, I am not the Nine Ghost Gate, I am the President of the Gate of Hades, Mardo Gil Tartarus. Yes, I am the man who persuaded your precious daughter to carry out the eclipse plan. In addition, Speaker of the Gour'an and Congressman Ajma, please take care of us when we meet for the first time. β
He said this in a tone of utter contempt.
"You...... You bastard!"
No father could tolerate a man fooling his daughter, and the enraged king, regardless of the disparity in strength between the two sides, rushed forward, only to be imprisoned by the Speaker of the Qur'an with magic.
"I'm sorry, King, I need you to calm down, so I have to do such a rude thing. Ajma, you can leave with the king and princess, find as many of the guild magicians as you can, and then leave the royal city, right?"
"I understand, Speaker Koran. β
Years of tacit understanding have not disappeared because of the seven-year quarantine, and they did not even hesitate for even a second to do what they can do now.
Ajma and the king and princess tried to leave, but Silver blocked their path with a wall of ice.
"Don't leave anyone until you tell me the location of the Eclipse Gate today, okay?" said Mardo presumptuously, "even if I beg you, hahaha......"
Speaker GΓΌran summoned the magic of his whole body, shattered the wall of ice, and turned back to deal with Mardo and Silver and Franmars. As if he was glad to receive this invitation to compete in magic, Maldo also summoned his vast dark magic to fight against the magic of the Qur'an.
It's just that Guran, who is a human being, will eventually run out of magic due to aging, not to mention that his magic itself is not as good as Maldo. Maldo walked up to him step by step, and little by little, the powerful magic pressed Guran to bend his knees.
At this time, Ajma appeared at Guran's side, resisting Maldo's magic with his old but strong magic.
"Yajma!"
"Stop talking, old man, you know very well that the king and princess and I can't get out of the palace under these circumstances. You'd better save some strength to deal with the demon leader in front of you!"
Two veterans of the wizarding world, using this traditional magical duel, tried to resist the president of the Hades Gate in front of them, Maldo, until the last second.
It's a pity that it backfired, Mardo's magic power was too high, and they gradually couldn't bear it, and they all had to be pressed down by the magic - this is what Maldo wanted to see, if he could see two benchmark figures in the light world kneeling down to himself, it must be a very satisfying thing.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
At this time, the king got a dagger out of nowhere and tried to sneak up on the man who had hurt his daughter, only to be easily kicked away by Silver. The princess screamed and ran over to check on her father's injuries.
If nothing else, Quran and Yajma will soon be teased at the end of their lives.
It's just that the irony happens. Several rays of magic joined the ranks of Guran and Yajima, and bounced back Mardo's magic. And when Maldo put away his magic and saw the people who came to support the Quran in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"I remember you, Urrutia the Arc of Time, Merti the Guilty Feelings, Eric the Poison Dragon Slayer, Sawyer the Laser, Richard the Hot Eye, Kuno the Angel, Rastiros the Arc of Manifestation, and Ugly Time to Descend on the Courtyard...... I've always wanted to find you and join us...... Ah, I didn't expect to meet here, and I didn't expect you to do such a thing for your old enemy. β
Guran and Ajma were also surprised when they saw these people who had come, they couldn't figure out how this group of people could help them.
The eight former Dark Wizards present all showed reluctant expressions. Truth be told, none of them really wanted to help the two old guys who had been the most active in their hunt back then, but Urrutia had conveyed the orders of their regimental commander, and they were forced to help the Light Magiers.
Along the way, they also helped many of the guild's magicians deal with the fanatics of Hadesgate, much to the surprise of many magicians who remembered their faces and recognized their identities. When they were searching for the head of the regiment near the palace, they heard the commotion and broke in and saved Quran and Ajma.
"It's just that when I heard that you had joined an inexplicable organization and were still destroying the Dark Guild, I felt infinitely disappointed. Maldo put away his smile and became hideous. "I didn't expect you, the great Jerff believers who were allied with us, to betray him so completely!"
The eight magicians were silent for a moment, and just when Maldo thought they were ashamed, the group began to say something else.
"He's exactly like the regimental commander, isn't he, Melti?" said Urrutia.
"Yes, Uru, just as much nonsense. Merti replied.
"To be honest, I've had enough of the captain's preaching, and I feel like I've been raped by him once. Be reasonable, Maldo, don't you want to treat me like the captain!" Eric was furious.
"Beat him up, and I'll leave the rest at bay. Sawyer briefly proposed.
"I'd suggest putting a picture of the head of the regiment on his face, right?" said Richard with a square face, smiling. He was the most willing of them all, and even sacrificed himself to help the Wizard Combine gain time in Nirvana, although he was later saved. But even he couldn't stand the regimental leader.
"Good idea. "Sora is happier than the others. By the way, it will be a meeting present for my sister who is about to see herself. Urrutia had already told her about Fuko's speculation about Yukino's identity, and Sono couldn't wait to meet Yukino and make sure if she was her sister.
"Then let's do it, it's annoying, talking so much. Rastiros glared at Huayuan, who couldn't spit out a word because of nervousness.
Before this moment, no one would have thought that a group of dark magicians would fight side by side with the light magicians. Even, mentioning this matter itself is extremely ridiculous. And that's what the funny stuff is.
