When Donassis returned to the docklands market, it was already evening, the sun had sunk into the ridge in the distance, and without the warm sunlight, the temperature was rapidly dropping, the fog was everywhere along the river, and the sky was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The warm light is passing away, and the cold darkness is returning.

"Hiss~~~~hiss~~~~~"

Donassis stood in the middle of the market, letting out a piercing scream, and with each cry, the golems around the market followed suit, like soldiers responding to their generals.

A few minutes later, a thick rattan popped out of Donassis's body. The rattan head holds the Eye of Agma in place and begins to weave back and forth through the streets surrounding the market.

When the Eye of Agmar came to the mouth of an alley to the east, the purple-black gem inlaid with the Eye of Agmar shook slightly, emitting a misty purple light.

"Aha, you're hiding here!"

Donassis shot a thick black vine into the alleyway, and let out a high-pitched scream.

The Tree Demon Golem immediately jumped off the roof and swarmed towards the alleyway.

"Slaves, follow in my footsteps!"

Donassis pursued the purple glow of the Eye of Agmar as he made his way on. The tree demon golems surrounded him, screaming loudly, their green eyes swaying in the darkness like countless ghost fires.

This scene is like an army of demons returning from hell to earth.

At the same time.

In the psychedelic dungeon, the illusionist Wei Ge ran into the small hall quickly, and she shouted in panic: "Oh no, no, the tree demon is here, my illusion can't stop him!" ”

The five people in the small hall turned their heads to look at her together.

Niya immediately put away the manuscript and looked up at her: "How is it possible?" Why is this happening? ”

The young sorceress's eyes were full of fear: "Mentor, the tree demon has come here in person. He held a purple gem in his hand, and wherever the light shone, the illusion barrier would collapse! I really...... I really can't stop it! ”

"Purple gemstones...... No, it's the Eye of Agmar! Nia stood up in shock, her face already snow-white.

She hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly turned to look at Max: "The other party has the Eye of Agmar, and the illusion has no effect." There is nothing we can do but fight to the death! ”

Max looked solemn: "I understand. ”

"No, you don't understand!" Niya shouted excitedly: "The devil's army is pouring out, there are more than a thousand tree demon puppets, plus the tree demon himself, and there are less than 10 people on our side who can participate in the battle. It is impossible to reverse such a situation with the power of mortals alone! ”

Seeing that Max was still silent.

Niya screamed in a gaffe: "Max, there's no time to hesitate, more than 10,000 people!" More than 10,000 innocents! The bonds of strength must be rebuilt now! ”

After speaking, she ignored Max anymore, and stretched out her hand to point at Lawson on the side: "Young man, I'm sorry!" ”

In an instant, Rosen felt a tremendous pressure rush towards him, his body became extremely heavy, and his hands and feet were completely out of his control. Shocked in his heart, he immediately activated his magic power, opened the energy pool, and prepared to fight back!

In the first half of the move, Rosen succeeded.

The mana activated, and the restored energy in the energy pool was released.

In the second half of the step, there was an unexpected change.

The moment the energy in the energy pool left Rosen's body, it was out of his control!

There was a powerful and desperate magic around his body, and compared to this magic, Lawson's own magic was like that of a three-year-old child in front of an adult strong man, completely powerless.

"What are you doing?!"

Morbius roared, drew his musket with both hands, pointed one at Vigo the Illusionist, and the other at Nia the Sage, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

This time, he learned to be obedient, no longer relying on the speed of his body to sneak attack, but using the power of the musket.

Nia noticed his move ahead of time and glanced at him.

In the next moment, Morbius pulled the trigger.

"Click~~~Boom~~~~~ ah!!"

The two muskets in Morbius's hand exploded together, and a large number of metal fragments splattered out, shooting Morbius all over his face, and most of his hands were blown off.

The situation was extremely tragic, and if it weren't for Morbius's undead physique, this would have been enough for him to die several times.

"Ahh

Veronica screamed and strode towards Nia, her hands in fists, a faint white light appearing on her fist, and she punched Nia in the back.

In the face of this punch, Nia remained motionless, as if Veronica did not exist.

Half a second later, Veronica's fist hit Niya in the back with a muffled 'bang~'.

Veronica's strength is very strong, and even if her injuries are not completely healed, this power is by no means something that ordinary people can resist. If ordinary people were hit by her punch, their entire spine would be beaten out of their bodies, but such a violent punch to the back of the thin Niya did not have any effect.

Moreover, she also has a white light in her hand that has the power to break demons, and can easily break through the opponent's magical defenses.

However, Nya's body remained motionless, as if she had been gently pounded by a little girl.

On the other hand, Veronica, after her fist hit Nia's back, she immediately felt a terrifying force collide back from Nia's body, and after a moment of confrontation, she couldn't resist it, and the whole person was bounced back by this terrible force.

"Bang~~~~"

With a dull thud, Veronica's body slammed into the stone wall of the small hall, sinking in half, and the stone wall was knocked out of a spider's web-like crack.

Under such a violent impact, Veronica felt as if her body was falling apart, and her whole body was numb, and she couldn't even move her fingers.

The sage Nia stared at Rosen and whispered, "I'm sorry. For the sake of Nilogaard, for the sake of tens of thousands of lives, I have to sacrifice your life! I'm really sorry! ”

With these words, Rosen felt a huge increase in pressure all over his body, and he clearly felt that there was a foreign magic that penetrated into his body from the pores, and it was still deepening.

The terrifying thing is that in the face of this alien magic, Lawson desperately resisted, but he could only delay the speed of the magic invasion.

His heart was shocked: 'Is this the magic of the Great Magician?' It's so terrifying! ’

It is very difficult for magic to invade other people's bodies, even if the target is just an ordinary person.

Lawson's current magic level is about equivalent to that of a four-star magician, and Lilith is between the two of them, and when he was treating others, he also wanted to use magic to enter the other party's body to observe the condition, but it was still very difficult. If someone else wants to invade his body, it will be even more difficult, because the magic of his body will instinctively resist fiercely.

But now, Nya's magic invaded his body, and it seemed that there was no pressure, how powerful should this sage's magic be?

Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame.

Seeing that Nia's magic was about to attack Lawson's brain, Max's voice suddenly sounded: "Nia, stop!" ”

"Why?" Nia turned to look at Max.

At the same time, Rosen felt a slight pause in the magic that had invaded his body.

Max slowly stood up: "He's an innocent, let him go, let him go." ”

Niya shook her head slowly: "No, this is the only way!" ”

"No, there's another way." Max took a step forward, his eyes flashing with unusual determination: "His magic power is still a little too weak, and he has never had the experience of harnessing the power of the gods. Using his body to forge a bond of strength, there is a good chance that he will collapse halfway. With my body, better than his. ”

"You ......" Nya's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why are you defending him so much?" ”

Max smiled faintly, "Because he succeeded in removing the destruction toxin." If he can do this now, he will be able to unravel more of the devil's mysteries in the future. There is hope in him to end this cycle once and for all. Time is running out, Nya, hurry! ”

Niya hesitated.

Max urged, "He gave you the manuscript, and you still owe him a favor." Now, I'll pay it back for you. ”

"No, Max, I'm not going to let you die! I can't do that! Nia shook her head repeatedly.

Rosen felt the magic that had invaded his body rush into his brain again, and no matter how much he resisted, it was in vain.

In desperation, Rosen gave up resistance: 'Hey~~~ Forget it, it's worth it to kill me and save 10,000 people." Maybe when I die, my soul will float back to Earth and be reborn. ’

Seeing that Nia's magic was about to burst into Rosen's brain, Max's voice came again: "The Apocalypse is coming, steel is subject to his will, the flames are ruled by him, and the world trembles before his power. He will save all suffering, He will judge all the sins of the earth, and He will bring heaven to earth. ”

Niya's heart was shocked: "Apocalyptic prophecy? Do you think he's the Apocalypse? ”

Max shook his head: "I don't know, but I think we should give the future a little hope!" This young man is a rare magical genius, he doesn't deserve to be sacrificed so simply, he deserves the world's expectations for his future achievements! ”

Nia froze there, and the invasion of magic quietly stopped.

"Nia! Time is running out! Max urged.

"Hey~~~" Niya sighed.

Almost at the same time, Rosen felt the alien magic that invaded his body fade like a tide, and the invisible force that bound his body disappeared at the same time, and his body went limp, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.

The experience just now was really terrifying.

Max's voice came to his ears: "Rosen, promise me one thing!" ”

When Rosen looked up, he saw that Max's body was already suspended in mid-air, and his whole body was glowing white. For this old man, his feelings are very complicated, there is gratitude, there is reverence.

"Say it."

"Promise me, when the battle begins, take your friends, take Vigo, and all the innocents here and leave here. You have to protect them and lead them. You want to rebuild the city of wisdom! ”

"I'll do my best!" Lawson nodded heavily.

A relieved smile appeared on Max's face, and he turned to look at Nya: "I have felt the power of the gods, I will channel the power into your body, get ready!" ”

I don't know when, the sage Nia was already in tears, she nodded vigorously, and replied in a choked voice, "I'm ready!" ”

"Boom~~~"

The next moment, a thick pillar of light fell from the sky and enveloped Max's body.

Under this light, everything became transparent, the small hall disappeared, the underground hall that held tens of thousands of people also disappeared, all illusions faded, and the illusion labyrinth was reduced to the ordinary streets and alleys of the dock area. And the army of dryads, and the survivors, are separated by only one street.

When Rosen looked up, he saw a huge pillar of incandescent light descending from the clouds, as if it was a sword of divine punishment piercing from the heavens!
