In the depths of the thick fog, everyone became more and more disoriented. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luciola's own fog manipulation technique and illusion technique, the deeper she goes, the more lost she becomes, and in the end, she will be lost in the psychedelic fog, along with life.

Although the phantom is only a candidate for executor, he is the only one who far surpasses his mentor Luciola in the technique of operating the demon.

The deeper I got, the more clearly I can feel the hostility, and at first I can barely touch the wall to confirm the direction of my progress, but the further back I go, the more I can't do it.

Because, I don't know when it started, my fingers couldn't feel the touch of the wall, and in the white mist, the touch, vision, and hearing all lost their effect, and I couldn't confirm my position, so I could only roughly understand that I was still in this ruin.

The white mist had completely enveloped everyone, and they couldn't even perceive the floor under their feet.

You Chensi released the chain, the golden chain centered on him, radially connected to everyone, although Du Barry muttered, in the end, in order not to be swallowed by the fog realm, he still obediently took the chain and reluctantly wrapped it around his wrist.

"It's like a bracelet."

Anaise was honest about her opinion.

"Huh?! Kill you! ”

Du Barry frowned angrily and retorted disdainfully.

"Well, don't make a fuss."

It is strange that this time, Ennaiya, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, did not continue to bully Dubari.

She calmly interrupted the bickering between the two, perhaps sensing this rare atmosphere, and everyone around them stopped chatting together, silently staring at the white mist in front of them.

"What's wrong, Enaya?"

As the only one among the people present who had an extremely close relationship with everyone, Yu Tatsumi acted as a communication center.

"Ahead, there's a fire."

Enaiya is a sniper, and as a sniper, the most basic quality is good eyesight. If you can't even see the apple that is the target, let alone shoot it.

Despite the weaponry of civilization called glasses, the sniper's foggy, dew-stained, and shattering stuff is really not worth looking forward to.

Ennaiya, who has excellent eyesight, was naturally the first among the people to notice the abnormality.

"Huh?! Where, where?! ”

"Really?!"

Then, two characters on the same team, who also use ranged weapons, let out an unbelievable scream.

Instructor Sarah uses a pistol, which is barely acceptable, after all, her main combat weapon is a one-handed sword, and the gun is only to expand the scope of attack.

But...... Kevin doesn't have anything to say. His only weapon was a crossbow......

"I feel like I'm being frustrated with you! What is the purpose of my existence? In other words, why did you choose me to come with you? I didn't hit the stigmata before, but I was super hurt! ”

Kevin's eyes sparkled like a woman, and there were almost strange stars popping up, and between his words and demeanors, he was clearly revealed: "Comfort me!" ".

You Chensi was not ready to bully him: "Of course, it's because Kevin you are valuable." ”

"Uh-huh!"

"If you encounter an enemy attack, please use the Star Cup Domain. I'm sorry, but I tried to simulate it, but I couldn't even simulate the Star Cup realm...... Even the stigma can be simulated......"

You Chensi was speechless and fragmented, muttering in his mouth: It's really not smart or something.

"Hey-that's it?! Is my value just to open a barrier?! Heal, heal, spells, or something! ”

"Ah, that's it, my magic and Miss Lis's combat skills can do it. Kevin, you can just be on guard against enemy attacks. ”

“………………”

Kevin had a fly on his face, and although he wanted to say something, he didn't say anything in the end.

This time, You Tatsumi was really not ready to bully him, after all, he was the one who reacted the most to Enaya's words. In the trap laid by the enemy, although he seemed to be very bold to break in, in fact, his heart was also tensed.

However, his unintentional words obviously hurt Kevin even more.

Everyone prepared for battle as they walked, and the closer they got closer, the more they could vaguely feel the bad atmosphere.

As strikers, Lixia and Laura have the most intuitive understanding of this feeling.

Because...... The fog turned red.

As the red light moved closer to the retina, something strong and distinct gradually condensed in the mist.

That's something like a gate.

With a width of more than 40 sub-distances and a height of more than 100 sub-distances, the crimson doorposts are reminiscent of Oriental-style architecture, but the demon maps carved in relief on them will not have such peaceful associations.

It's something that can only be associated with hideousness.

Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "That's the demon's totem." And, it's all true. ”

This cold and ruthless tone has been heard by Lisi and Yutatsumi.

That was Kevin when he was the [Sanctioner of Heresy] (some versions translate it as "Foreign Law Hunting]). The man who pursues self-punishment, keeps hurting himself, and is ready to execute himself, is the coldest and sharpest side.

From the change in his voice, You Chensi clearly understood that things were not ordinary.

Waji was much better than Kevin, but he also put away his smile and calmly explained to everyone: "This is the demonic posture inherited in the church, for some reason, in the holy scriptures that are open to the public, the description of demons is deliberately vague, and it also deliberately confuses some demons...... Therefore, the posture of the demon can be portrayed so realistically...... It's really unusual. ”

Hearing this, You Chensi decisively cast his gaze to the moon: "How, this is ...... with what you have seen"

"Not a place. I gained power because of the power of the Moon Demon, a world full of gray and rotten green. Not such an aggressive color. ”

Tsukiyue quickly braided her loose black hair and wrapped it around her pale knuckles, as if she was running away from the topic of demons.

Thinking of Yue's experience, You Chensi really didn't want to stay on this topic longer.

"Oh...... It turns out that you have understood that this is purgatory. Well, it really saves a lot of old things. Oh hehehe. ”

"What people!"

Ennaiya's loud shout interrupted the sudden voice of the old man, and her bow was far faster than her words, and the silver-white longbow was loaded with sharp arrows, and the flying power provided by the bowstring dragged the arrows to deliver swift and fatal blows.

It was a blow reminiscent of a meteor.

It was a blow reminiscent of death.

Swift and precise, just hearing a sound and responding quickly.

Dare to call himself the title of [Magic Bow], Enaiya said with his actual actions that he is indeed worthy of this title!

However, the bow sank into the fog and was no longer visible.

Did it hit?

Probably not.

Because of the change of direction, the voice of this old, somewhat theatrical exaggeration sounded again.

How to describe it?

There is a feeling of a mix of voices from 80-year-old Olivier and 80-year-old Brubland.

"Huhuhu, young people just don't have patience...... But...... It's a young man, after all. Young and vigorous! This is also life. ”

Sniping is about surprise, in the sense that sniping and assassination are the same thing, and if the first hit fails to solve the enemy, then the hit rate of the second and third hits will quickly decrease.

If you know in advance that food is poisonous, will anyone else eat it? The answer is no.

If you knew that someone was sniping at you, would you not defend yourself?

"So, this is purgatory? You said that, right? ”

Because they didn't know the specific location of the enemy, everyone was blurred by this fog, and You Chensi could only shout loudly to the Quartet.

"Not bad."

"So, what are you? One of the Seventy-Seven Demons of Purgatory? The guide of Yellow Springs? ”

You Chensi smiled, his tone was frivolous and full of nonsense.

"Oh...... To disguise his peace with a light provocation, trying to lure the old man to tell more information? Very good! ”

The old man's voice was halfway through when it suddenly changed to a sharp young female voice.

“！”

Two people?

You Chensi frowned, remembering as much information as possible.

"Hehe, the identity of the old decay and the secrets here, my lord was not prepared to hide it. Since you're curious, what about talking to you? ”

Although the voice has changed to a high-pitched female voice, it doesn't seem to be ready to change the mouth fetish of [Old Decay]. Probably, he really lived for a long time.

I have to say, it feels more and more like after Brubrandt is getting old.

In the crimson gate, something faintly came out.

It was an old man the size of a human being.

No, strictly speaking, it is not possible to see what gender it is.

His entire body was covered by a medieval robe of ornate form, and the ornate material was expensive at a glance. You Chensi feels that he is an old man, because his figure is thin and rickety, under normal circumstances, except for people who suffer from [rickets], only the old people will be deprived of their upright posture by the years.

The "round pleated collar" of medieval clothing is best reflected in this costume, and the particularly wide round collar is like a tray of cakes, dragging several heads as if at an exhibition.

That's right, count the heads.

This is not at all the posture that human beings should have.

He was holding a huge book almost half the size of the others, and his dry left hand was slowly flipping, as if he was reading a book while walking.

"You are!"

"The old decay is the steward of this purgatory...... In your current words...... It's ......"

The young female voice said this, and her left hand quickly flipped through the pages, as if searching for answers in a book.

"Well, it's the butler. Old decay is the steward of purgatory. ”

With her strange voice, the figure holding the giant book has already cut into everyone's field of vision.

Sure enough, where it should have been the head, there were several similar beings.

The head of the elderly, the head of the middle-aged, the head of a child, the head of a man, the head of a woman...... About seventeen or eighteen, as if exhibiting valuables, circled around the collar. Turning to the front, what was communicating with everyone was the revelation of a rather dignified woman, whose purple hair and bright lips did not match the dry figure at all.

"The old man's name is [Dean Sarin]. As you can see, it is a demon. ”

As he spoke, his head clicked like the wheel of a revolver and turned back to the old man's head.

"Maybe this image is more familiar to you?"

"Kevin, is this guy also a Seventy-Seven Demon?"

"Well, the wise man who shines in Purgatory is also one of the few demons among the seventy-seven demons who does not have evil legends. The book in his hand is a book that records all things in the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and is defined as a heretical degenerate seeker because of all wisdom. ”

Kevin explained to You Chensi, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a cold expression.

"I didn't expect it...... One day, you'll have to face these demons again......"

The last time I fought a demon was when I was in Shadow City.

"The wise man who shines in purgatory? Got all the wisdom? Hehe...... You are really going to talk nonsense, the road of wisdom is endless, and there is still a lot to learn from the old and decayed. ”

Sure enough, as Kevin said, although this old man is a demon, he doesn't look like a notorious guy at all.

It's completely different from what I've seen in the City of Shadows, tyrannical, abyss, or something. It's a person who seems harmless to humans and animals, but in fact doesn't do much harm.

"O man who has come to visit Purgatory...... Please allow the old ......"

Before the words fell, Yue's figure had already flashed behind the old man, and with a sharp blow, the whirlwind knife slashed at his neck!

And...... At the same moment, her jet-black hair, which was braided, burst out from the ground in reverse at an unscientific angle! One on one and one down! Pinch at the same time!

Just as Yu Tatsumi used the chain as his greatest weapon, attaching his fighting spirit to it to achieve the precise operation of the chain, Tsukiya also has a similar technique, easily mastering his biggest weapon, hair, and attacking from a dead angle that is difficult to defend against.

Although Yue and Yu and Joshua are both assassins, their styles are completely different. By spreading rumors and issuing advance notices, Yutakami took advantage of the enemy's response methods to get them to stay where they needed to stay on the day of the assassination. Then kill people from a distance with chains.

This is also known as the "trap".

Joshua is a typical assassin, sneaking into the target, aiming at the moment when he relaxes, and directly killing the target.

Tsuki, on the other hand, is the third style of assassin.

Or, she is the only one of the three who can be called a "killer".

Her fighting style is to approach head-on, and it is best to be able to bypass attention, and if she can't get around, then kill all the witnesses. Among the three, she has the best close combat strength.

And at this moment, she understands this, so she will attack head-on and give full play to her greatest advantages.

However......

Boom!

Tsuki's attack seems to have landed on the iron plate!

In a moment, a rainbow of light stood out at its side, enveloping him like a beautiful soap bubble.

However...... This beautiful bubble is much stronger than it looks!

Moon's attack is enough to illustrate this.

"It's just a coincidence, the old decay has mastered the magic of defense. Very good, very good. ”

The demon [Dean Salin] let out a slight sigh of emotion as he rummaged through the unspeakably large book in his hand.

However, that light and breezy posture is so provocative in the eyes of everyone.

"Tsk! Is it a space-based defensive magic? ”

Kevin's brow furrowed, feeling that the enemy's defense was extraordinary.

It should be said that I, who is also good at space defense magic, can feel the strangeness of this demon the most.

I'm afraid, it's a better protective magic than the Star Cup Realm.

"Defense magic? Then use an attack that's enough to shatter! ”

Laura's eyes flashed with a hint of unbridled battle intent, and the pure white fighting spirit spurted violently, wrapping around the big sword in her hand, and the heavy and thick blade followed her steps, making an indomitable large-scale slash!

Boom! Heavy sound.

Laura's sword was also stopped by Nabobo's shield.

"Well, if you add our ......"

Not to be outdone, Lixia gave Sarah a look, and although Sarah's eyes fell visibly below Lixia's face for a moment, she quickly turned back. The two rushed over one left and one right!

"Oh, it's just a meeting, there's no need to make such a big fuss."

Even when he was attacked by four people, Dean Salin did not look panicked at all, dragging the old man's inherent sluggish tone, and raised his hand to turn through the two pages of the book.

"Found it...... It's just right. The old man has the magic of teleportation, and he is very good and good. ”

As the old man's words fell, the four of them all felt that their attacks suddenly had no force point, combined with the words just now, the four of them immediately understood what was going on, and quickly retracted their strength, but after all, the four of them were all going all out, and it was easy to stop at first glance?

One was not careful, everyone was unstable, and they bumped together.

However, before Dean Salin could completely reveal his head, Ennaia's bow and arrows had already been projected, and Fortitude Anaise rushed over with Dubari with heavy steps.

Vaguely behind the two of them, he could find Waji, who was like a cat and lowered his figure, he had opened the stigma, and his right hand had completely turned into a strong and holy pale blue stone claw. It seems that they are preparing to use the two of them for a surprise attack.

"Huh...... Young people, don't be in such a hurry. ”

Dean Salin didn't seem to have any intention of making enemies with a few people, and although he was flipping through his books, he didn't use the attack magic, but just used another diversion.

"Wait...... What the hell are you here for, old man? ”

Yu Chensi stopped Kevin, who was about to open the stigmata and launch a rain of gunshots, and saw that Dean Salin did not mean to be an enemy of him, and wondered if he should listen to what he had to say first.

Especially on his own side, before asking the reason, Yue launched an assassination first, and he drove the rhythm, and everyone subconsciously regarded each other as enemies.

But that's right.

The word demon is obviously associated with phantoms.

An enemy ally is his own enemy.

So, killing Dean Salin is certainly not a bad thing.

Merely......

You can't kill it!

Yu Chensi's mouth was bitter.

Although I have known for a long time that Ranster's side is full of powerful guys, it is still difficult to deal with when it comes to the actual battle on the other side.

If possible...... I really don't want to reveal my last hole cards here......

You Chensi frowned, if it could be solved with dialogue, it would be the best.

"Hehe, after discovering that you can't kill the old decay, do you want to talk about peace instead?"

Dean Salin's words made You Chensi feel embarrassed for a while, but the man who is known as a tactician is also a tactician. Whether it's lying or deceiving, it's easy to do.

"It's good that the old man doesn't hate clever people like you. Rather, if the whole world were full of clever people like you, old decay would not be regarded as a heretic and branded as a demon. The old man said that he was the steward of this purgatory. Since there are guests coming, if you can't deal with them properly, it will damage the prestige of the host. ”

Dean Salin said, slamming his book shut and bowing to the crowd.

However, his body is too rickety, and everyone is concerned about whether he will suddenly collapse like a skeleton, so that they don't notice the most detailed problems.

"You mean...... Guest? ”

Lixia asked curiously.

"Definitely. Miss...... You have a nice face. I really want to collect it in the old collection. If the old man shares the wisdom in the book with you, will he be able to get your head after death? ”

"Babble—"

Lixia strode back like a cat splashed on her tail by boiling water, and subconsciously covered her neck with her hands: "Cai, I won't give it to you!" ”

Look at Dean Salin's so many heads, if you add another one?

Don't be grinning!

Lixia didn't want that.

It's disgusting to think about.

"yes, then, that's a wretch."

Dean Salin didn't dwell too much, turned around, and showed his back in front of everyone without any concern - of course, because he had too many heads, and even if he turned around, there were six or seven pairs of eyes on his back, and no matter how he looked at it, he was not defenseless.

Following the old demon, the crowd entered the crimson gate.

It was a scene worthy of purgatory.

The dark earth, the traces of cracks, the constant spitting of flames, like rivers like lava......

And also...... Wandering, a feeble crimson figure.

It was a terrifying creature called a demon.

Even, during the clean-up activities of the Karumon Foundation, the demons who had fought with everyone were among them.

This is a place for the devil to rest!

If there is a demon that inhabits purgatory, it is undoubtedly purgatory.

Moreover, the pitch-black earth and the running flames also make people feel like purgatory.

In fact, it's similar to the purgatory that Kevin saw when he was in Shadow City.

The City of Shadows will perfectly reproduce the spirit of the people, that is, in the heart of the priest Kevin, purgatory is like this.

After following Dean Salin for a while, finally, he came to the most critical place.

It was an altar-like place.

In the unobstructed dark wilderness, there is suddenly a pure white stage, anyone will care, right?

On that stage, a man in a gorgeous kimono holds a double fan and dances like a shrine maiden dancing with a blessing.

Phantoms.

And his fan, this time, finally turned into a plain white color, without the slightest fancy.

And beside him, there were a group of quiet crimson demons.

"Welcome...... Come to purgatory. ”
