Chapter 4: Notoriety
A new day ushers in the blood-colored sunrise, and the once beautiful and prosperous city is in ruins, and these ruins are the traces left by the Demon King's attack.
The beautiful houses of the past have been turned into embers with residual temperature, and the smooth and tidy streets are littered with debris, splattered with the blood of innocent victims.
Plumes of black smoke rose from the deserted streets, and the pungent smell of burnt burned filled the silent city. The elite of the Celestial Army who came to investigate from the top were greeted by this vivid picture of the end of the world.
There is no doubt that this is the end of the lower community after facing the most terrible natural disaster in Hakotei.
No matter how brave a person is, after seeing the tragic situation here, he will have an unspeakable fear of the Demon King rising in his heart.
"Oh my God, it's a disaster...... It's miserable! ”
The Heavenly Army was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them, it was not the first time they had seen the scene after the Demon King was wreaking havoc, but the tragic scene here was also shocking.
The city was burned to the ground, and I'm afraid that the investigation will not be able to get any clues now.
As for helping them take revenge, the reason why the demon king is called a natural disaster, in fact, there is another reason, the community that encounters the destruction of the demon king, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky, have you ever seen someone take revenge on the earth or the sea for the people who suffered from the earthquake and tsunami?
"Hey, it's strange, why are there so few corpses?"
One of the Celestial Armies who came to investigate muttered in confusion.
Although the voice is small, how can it be an ordinary person who can become a heavenly army.
The question was like thunder in their heads.
Upon closer inspection, they found that the number of corpses was not indescribable, but that there were almost no left. In addition, the remaining corpses are basically fragments that are so broken that they cannot be seen in human form, and no complete corpse has been found so far.
Could it be that the demon king this time is a cannibal race?
The fact that the corpses were eaten would explain the current situation. No matter how bizarre the delusion, there is no picture of the demon king helping these unlucky ghosts collect the corpses.
If it wasn't eaten, then where did all the disappearing corpses go?
The members of the Celestial Army investigated this, and they quickly came to a conclusion. The whereabouts of the corpses were not concealed, leaving clear footprints outside the city gates.
Perhaps, it would be inappropriate to describe them as corpses until they were certain to die, or perhaps they simply fled the city to avoid the disaster.
However, who would have thought that these low-level communities could survive in the hands of the Demon King.
The Demon King doesn't know what a natural disaster is called merciful by his subordinates.
The Celestial Army quickly decided to follow the trail, and if those people were still alive, they would be in great need of help. If you can find the Demon King, then you will immediately defeat him.
Did those people escape?
Yes, of course...... No!
The Grim Reaper led the team to go out in person, plus an army composed of countless demonic miscellaneous soldiers, if he couldn't even take such an outermost city, would he still need to go back?
When the Heavenly Army followed the footprints, they saw countless corpses walking around. They were not alive, but they did not fall.
"Dead man, so many ......"
Those swaying around are zombies that have died and come back to life.
"It is unforgivable to blaspheme the dead in such a blasphemy...... O abominable demon king, our heavenly army will annihilate you with our own hands! ”
The Heavenly Army, which is full of a sense of justice, is enraged, and it is their duty to crusade against the Demon King, and such a Demon King cannot allow him to come nonsense.
The arrival of the Celestial Army also attracts the attention of the demons who drive the zombies forward. The demons could already tell from that murderous look that they were targeting.
"Report, Lord Death. A large number of unknown people appeared in the rear, suspected to be the 'Heavenly Army' mentioned in the intelligence. ”
The giant skeleton carrying a bone club reports to the Grim Reaper.
"Hmph, it's coming so fast. Speed me up, and I'm being chased. ”
After a little thought, the god of death understood that it must be the heavenly army that specialized in crusading against the demon king. It's all because these dead people have slowed them down, otherwise with the marching speed of the demon army, how could people catch up.
"My lord, do you need your subordinates to lead people to deal with the pursuers behind?"
The big skeleton straightened up, three people tall, and stood in front of the Grim Reaper, but it seemed that the short Grim Reaper was his subordinate.
Unfortunately, although he is also a skeleton, the Grim Reaper has an extra black cloak than him, and the weapon in his hand is much stronger than the bone club in his hand. Therefore, the Grim Reaper is the boss, and he is the younger brother.
The god of death glanced at the big skeleton, this subordinate is still relatively loyal, but the strength is not very good, and the heavenly army is probably not something he can deal with.
In order to avoid unnecessary battle damage, the Grim Reaper decided that it would be safer to take matters into his own hands.
"The strength of the Heavenly Army is not as good as those previous wastes, it is better for me to take action personally, and you will speed up with the dead."
After saying that, the Grim Reaper left the demon army behind and faced the heavenly army chasing after him alone.
The demon army was very close to the celestial army, and when the god of death flew to the end of the group, the celestial army arrived.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Celestial Army could launch an attack without saying a word.
At this moment, a cold light slashed down from the sky, and the sharp edge forced the Celestial Army to retreat and dodge.
"Hehe, attacking without saying a word, it's really rude, so I'll report my name first......"
Death took the scythe in his hand and slowly fell from the sky, stopping between the two armies.
"Are you the Grim Reaper?"
The image of the Grim Reaper is always so terrifying that even the heavenly army is shocked. If it was really the mythical god of death, his spiritual personality was even comparable to that of their leader, Shakti.
Even though it's a celestial army, if you fight against a god of the level of the emperor, you'll be tortured and killed.
"Ah~ I was wondering, what drove you to come...... Is it ignorance? ”
The Grim Reaper neither affirmed nor denied it, but this reaction was all the more frightening.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed member of the Celestial Army noticed that the ground beneath the Grim Reaper's feet was rapidly turning gray, and the area was still spreading. The grass and trees withered, the rivers dried up, and even the soil lost its power to give birth to new life.
"Behold his feet, the land is losing its life"
Where God stands, the kingdom of God. The kingdom of death is naturally a world full of death.
"Damn, everyone scattered and ran, went to inform the gods and Buddhas at the top, and said, ......"
Before the leader of the Heavenly Army could finish speaking, the Grim Reaper hooked his neck with a scythe and pulled it hard, and his head stained with human blood gurgled and rolled down, and the rest of the words were never spoken again.
Seeing his leader's head cut off, and the headless corpse still standing stiffly spurting out a pillar of blood, the members of the Heavenly Army were furious.
"Captain! Retreat now! ”
The deputy team of the Heavenly Army raised his sword and slashed at the god of death, he knew that someone had to sacrifice to drag the other party, otherwise no one could escape.
It's just that the Grim Reaper didn't seem to think about it at all, raised his hand to open the vice-captain's sword with a scythe, and cut off the opponent's waist with a knife in his hand.
However, this vice-captain of the Heavenly Army is indeed extremely persevering. Even if he was cut in half, he would not be able to die for a while, and he was stunned and dragged the cloak of the god of death in great pain.
Knowing that he must die to fight for the life of his companions, this man is a true hero.
Moved by the other party's courage, out of respect for the hero, the Grim Reaper did not let go of the other party's hand, but stood quietly and let the heavenly army leave.
"Thank you......"
The vice-captain, who was holding on to his breath, looked at Death gratefully and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing all his companions leave.
He knew very well that if the Grim Reaper wanted to chase him, he could completely cut off his arm. But instead of doing so, the Grim Reaper acquiesced to his last wish.
Whatever the Grim Reaper did, that alone was worth his thanks.
The game has the charm of the game, and the demon king has the spirit of the demon king.
What if the remnants of the army are defeated, what if they are spared?
drove out the Heavenly Army, and the prestige of Castlevania completely spread in the box garden.
The Demon King that the Heavenly Army can't take down, this is the real natural disaster-level existence. Even if it is the ** layer of the box, there are not many demon kings of this level.
Once you meet it, it's over.
The weak community prays to God and worships Buddha, praying that they will not run into this terrifying demon king one day, and those elites are gearing up to form a group to brush the boss.
A hundred years have passed in a hurry. The Castlevania, which entered the box court at the beginning of that year, is now a powerful community in all directions, and no one dares to plunder its terrifying existence.
In the past 100 years, Cangzhen and the 666 Outer Gate have established a new headquarters, hiding the real Castlevania in a solar eclipse.
The battle a hundred years ago even alarmed the big men of Buddhism and Christ, and under the joint pressure of the two major forces, Castlevania was almost breached. However, with the full support of Chaos, he barely survived.
"It's getting more and more boring over the years, why don't you have some fun to pass the time?"
Cang Zhen leaned on the throne with his legs crossed, and muttered boredly as he clasped the armrest of the throne.
He finally understood why the god Shura would build a box to play with.
In the first few years of becoming the Demon King, he could still sit still, stay in his castle well, and even think that it didn't matter if he lived like this for the rest of his life.
Decades ago, the more accustomed life made him more and more irritable, always looking for some excitement.
A hundred years of time has suffocated Cang Zhensheng from an otaku to ADHD. Human beings can't experience this feeling in their short lifespan, and there is so much time that it is moldy and depressing.
"My master, Castlevania is finally about to regain its strength, and after years of enduring it, we should tell the world that I will wait for [Castlevania] to come back."
In the first battle a hundred years ago, all the big and small bosses in Castlevania were injured, and the Grim Reaper was also destroyed, and he had to wait for rebirth in Castlevania.
On the other hand, three of the Buddhas were taken away in the twelve days, and more than half of the angels of the Christ lineage were also killed.
Castlevania, which served as a battlefield, gave Cangzhen great support, but it was also beaten to pieces and had to be repaired.
Now, Castlevania, whose strength is about to be restored, will set off a new bloody storm in Hakotei.
"Death, has anything interesting happened in the box court lately?"
Cang Zhen shook the red wine in the glass and asked nonchalantly.
"The latest batch of vampires has become the so-called 'Hakoniwa Knights' to protect Hakowa City, and has established a "class dominator" system to fight against the Demon King. ”
"A vampire actually became a knight of the box garden? Are you kidding? If not, then I'm a little interested in the so-called 'Plenipotentiary Dominator'. ”
In the answer, Cang Zhen found the target he was interested in.
Although they are compatriots who don't know each other, the vampire's temperament will actually become a so-called knight, and Cang Zhen really can't suppress the curiosity in his heart.
