Chapter XXXVII
"We haven't encountered anything alive since we entered here, which is a bad feeling. Lea leaned into Ron's ear and whispered.
Ron nodded, but the wail just now still echoed in his mind, and he always felt that the cry had an inexplicable familiarity.
"Look, what is that!" Benson suddenly exclaimed, and everyone suddenly became alert, and they all picked up their weapons and looked in the direction of Benson's finger.
I saw a crack suddenly crack in the sky in the distance, and countless demonic creatures rushed out of the crack like a tide, smashing towards the ground.
It's just that the monsters in the sky are obviously not in the same space as Ron and his party, or the space where Ron and them are located has become a little distorted because of the strange enchantment in the sky.
Those monsters will disappear in an instant during the impact, and when they reappear, they are basically either missing arms or broken legs, and most of them are cut into pieces, and their deaths are extremely miserable.
The crack didn't appear for long, just a few breaths, and the sky was already sprinkled with a large area of green demonic blood. These demonic blood are like a river of blood floating in the sky, and as the monsters continue to gush out, the scale of the blood river is also expanding at an unimaginable speed.
"This, what the hell is going on? What should we do now?" The golden armor on Effie's body was filled with golden light, and the whole person was extremely nervous, obviously there were very few actual battles on weekdays, and he had never seen such a big scene, and his on-the-spot experience was a little lacking.
"There's no way we can wait here, that direction is the direction we want to go, and looking at the speed, it won't be long before those monsters will spread to us, and even if you want to dodge it, it's probably not so easy." Liana said as she looked at Ron, although she was very dissatisfied with Ron as the captain, but she didn't want to make a rash decision at this time.
"Liana is right, let's retreat first, and then go and investigate after the rift in this space has subsided. Ron came into the crowd and said, "Efe, Gina, Ivy, Bob, you go ahead, if you encounter the previous curse-type attack, you should be able to handle it." Benson, Lea, among you and me, the rest of the palace, withdraw!"
Ron's order was neat and clean, without the slightest dragging of mud and water, and everyone did not hesitate, and began to retreat quickly according to the formation that Ron said.
Not long after Ron and the others retreated, the river of green demonic blood in the sky had already converged to their location.
It may not be clear in the distance, but it is not until close that you can see the horror of the river of blood, the sky is like a broken sieve, full of holes, and countless red particles crumble and fall from the holes.
Once the red particles encounter the river of demon blood, they will instantly vaporize and disappear without a trace, which is extremely weird.
And the green demon blood seeped out through those countless small loopholes, dripping to the ground, and a trace of green smoke instantly rose from the ground, and the surrounding dead trees became more withered under the green smoke, and more directly turned into powder and scattered, and the originally barren earth became even more depressed, and some green demon blood pools accumulated in the potholed ground.
Ron summoned a small meow to provide everyone with a speed bonus, and Gina used low-level recovery magic to help everyone recover their physical strength in time during the retreat, making the retreat extremely fast
It was a moment of effort, and everyone entered and exited the distance of a hundred miles from the resting place just now.
"Oh my God, what is that!" As soon as Efe, who had settled down a little, turned around, he saw that the extremely small crack in the sky had grown to several meters wide at this time, and a large black hand poked out of the crack, as if trying to grasp something.
At this moment, a blue blade of light shot out from the ground, rising in mid-air against the storm, instantly turning into a huge blade of light connecting the sky and the earth, heading straight for the big hand that poked out of the crack.
With a loud bang, the blade of light and the big hand collided together, making a deafening roar, and the entire red sky was reflected in the blue of the blade of light at this moment.
The aftermath of the explosion quickly dissipated, and the big hand stretched out from the crack was still there, but the river of demonic blood in the sky at that location had disappeared, and a long river seemed to have been forcibly siphoned out of the middle.
"Damn! lowly human, dare to stand up to the supreme demon god!" an angry voice came from the crack. Although they were separated by hundreds of miles, they still made people's minds buzz open, and a tearing pain in their heads made people can't help but scream.
"I'm Calgeth, the arrogant demon king, and you lowly creature want to stop me!" the voice came from the crack again, clearer than before, and the voice was full of demonic energy, which made people's hearts full of evil thoughts.
"Everyone stay awake, don't be fooled by the voice of the Demon King!" Gina screamed, and she noticed that everyone's expressions became a little dazed and their bodies swayed after the voice appeared.
The staff in her hand lit up with a milky white halo, enveloping everyone, and one by one powerful holy magic was thrown at everyone, trying to bring everyone back to their senses.
The divine soul power in her body poured out like flowing water, but the effect was very small, and everyone was still confused and fell into a strange state.
"Wow!" a chirp tore through the sky and entered everyone's minds, making everyone's minds clear for a while, and they recovered from the state of confusion.
"Hey, what's wrong with me just now, I just feel like my body is being controlled by some mysterious force, making me completely unable to move. Benson made a defensive gesture and held the tower shield in front of him.
Gina was also a little overwhelmed, but she was relieved to see that everyone had recovered. It's just that others may not know, but she is full of doubts at the moment.
Everyone wasn't awake because of her magic, it was a long, high-pitched scream that made it back. But when the group first came, the long roar was obviously carrying the power of a curse, but why was it possible to recover people from the influence of the demon king at this time?
At this time, Ron's pupils suddenly dilated, and fragments of memories rushed into his mind, causing his whole body to suddenly burst into pain, and he couldn't help but scream and fall to the ground.
"Ron, what's wrong with you!" Leah rushed to Ron's side and caught him before he actually fell.
"It's her......" There seemed to be thousands of people shouting in Ron's ears, so he couldn't hear any sound, but there were still a lot of familiar images passing by in front of him.
The others also came forward at this time, and when Gina saw this, she just wanted to cast a healing magic, when the whole earth suddenly shook violently, and the sky became extremely distorted at this time
The vast expanses of demonic blood floating in the sky disappeared. There were still a few pieces of demonic blood left, like ink dripping on the paper, east and west.
"Damn! you should have been dead a long time ago, why do you still have the strength to stop me!" the voice from the crack came again, only this time it was a little hollow, and it was getting softer and softer, as if it was being pulled by something.
"You can't stop it, the space barrier here has become extremely thin, even if you use the enchantment seal, it is just to drink to quench your thirst, as long as you launch another demon tide, I can come over, and I will definitely break your corpse when the time comes...... Wan ......" Before the voice finished speaking, I saw that the crack in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the big hand that stretched out the crack also retracted. The whole space fell silent all at once.
Everyone looked up at the sky, the mottled red sky was slowly repairing, and the demonic blood floating in the sky was slowly disappearing, as if someone was slowly wiping off these stains with an eraser.
I don't know how long it took, the vision in the sky disappeared completely, and everything returned to "normal".
"It's so weird here, you should have heard it just now, the voice said it was...... Am I mistaken?" said Effie, with some shuddering.
As a paladin, he naturally knows more about the demon world than others, and he can better understand the meaning of the demon king. It's an existence that can compete with the pinnacle of power in this world. I'm just a paladin in the realm of a grandmaster, and when I encounter such a monster, I don't know how I'll really die when the time comes.
"Don't panic, everyone, the passage of the Demon Realm and this world has been sealed by the powerhouse of the last Demon War, even if he is the Demon King, it is definitely not easy to come here, he has just failed to come, he will definitely not appear again in a short time, we might as well hurry up and go to the depths to investigate, find out what is going on here as soon as possible, and go back to report it as soon as possible." If it's really important, then it's good for the council's powerhouses to prepare, isn't it?" Liana said as she twisted into the middle of the crowd. Although there was still cold sweat on her forehead that had not been wiped off, her face was extremely calm at the moment.
"Sizzle......" Ron woke up from the severe pain in his head, heard Liana's words, shook his head, and got up with the help of Lia and spoke: " Miss Liana is right, the advent of the Demon Realm requires the consumption of a huge amount of evil energy, there should be no threat from the Demon Realm during this time, along the way, there seems to be no other threat here, I am afraid that the previous few exploration teams have encountered the attack of the Demon Realm, so there is no news, and at this time, the attack of the Demon Realm has just passed, and it is the perfect time for us to go to the depths. ”
Everyone looked at Ron who was slowly getting up, although Ron looked a little pale, but his eyes were extremely determined, and there was no timidity in his expression.
"Captain Ron, are you alright?" Gina stepped forward to care, "Your appearance just now really scared us. ”
"It's okay, maybe my strength is weaker, and I'm more affected, but now it's okay, let's hurry." Although the Demon Realm will not appear in the short term, we still have to be careful, and the formation is still according to the formation when retreating, and the front and rear are well taken care of. ”
Liya looked at Ron, her brows furrowed slightly, she knew very well in her heart that Ron was definitely not weak because of his strength, there must be other reasons for the situation just now, after all, she was the weakest person here.
