Chapter 22: God's Presence
In the astonished gaze of everyone, Kiez Kiel, who should have burned to ashes, continued to gather in a whirlwind that exuded an ominous aura, and the flying ash gradually piled up into a human form, and then, the humanoid ash suddenly opened his eyes.
It was emotionless, blazing as lava, with blood-colored eyes.
"Disaster...... Dead ......"
The "gray man" opened his mouth, and indistinct syllables popped out of his mouth, and his voice was hoarse as if it came from hell.
"Dedication...... Body, greeting...... My Lord! ”
His eyes shone brightly, as if something was about to break out of a cocoon in his body.
"Bang", the human form composed of flying ash suddenly exploded and turned into smoke and dust in the sky, but in the next second, all the smoke and dust gathered again, and in the dark whirlpool, the hideous demon god with long horns gradually appeared.
His body was still made up of fly ash, and there were cracked crevices between them, filled with red-hot lava, and his whole body was pitch black, except for a pair of eyes, which flickered like fire. The tall demon god looked around, raised his head, and let out a terrifying roar.
"That's right, this is, the human realm, I'm back!"
This roar set off a rushing wind pressure, blowing the mercenary and the little demon master off the ground, flying far away, and Ciel, who was already at the end of the crossbow, fainted directly. But the tall demon god didn't notice them at all, as if in his eyes, whether it was Hill and Joe, or Renault, they were all just dispensable ants.
"Isn't it over yet!" Joe grabbed the dagger in his hand and bowed down, his face full of guard, he thought of the tall demon god as a monster summoned by Kiez Kiel.
"Huh? Mortal. The demon god finally noticed that there were other beings around him, and he turned his head and stared at Joe with burning eyes, and the mere gaze made several people feel a burst of heat.
"Thou shalt be the first mortals I have seen upon my return to the world, and I grant you the grace to bow down to me and pray to me, and I will grant your humble requests." As he spoke, the air seemed to start burning.
"You...... Who is it? Joe felt no longer air in his lungs, but fire, and he raised his head with difficulty and asked the demon god.
"Mortals are not qualified to ask for the names of the gods, but I have just promised, if this is your prayer, then listen, my name is ......"
The Demon God's words were interrupted by a few flying magic bullets, and in order to ensure the invasion, Kiez Kiel used the power of the God of Disaster to set up a phantom array within the scope of the village, so the friendly forces in ambush outside did not know that such a fierce battle had taken place in the village, and those villagers who escaped were also trapped on the outskirts of the village by the phantom array, and kept circling in place.
It wasn't until just now, the obsessive Kizkiel sacrificed his soul with forbidden magic and summoned this tall demon god who breathed fire, that the illusion magic released by him really lost its effect, coupled with the earth-shattering roar when the demon god appeared, the friendly troops outside the village realized that something was wrong and hurried over.
The first to take the lead is the wind system of the magicians, they are known for their speed, the first to rush into the village, only to see the mess everywhere, there is also a tall demon god standing in the center of the village, spitting fire at their allies, seeing this scene of the magicians did not have time to think about it, with various colors of light and flame of the magic bullet magic blade blasted towards the demon god one after another.
But all the attacks were extinguished one after another before the demon god was half a meter out, like a flame meeting a pool, and he could only let out a weak lament.
"Mortals, do you want to blaspheme the majesty of the gods?" The demon god shouted angrily, "Then what you will face will be the wrath of the gods!" ”
He opened his mouth, flames gushing out of his throat, and an unrivaled heat spread.
"Get out of the way!" Joe's pupils constricted, and he only had time to shout as a warning to his companions.
It's a pity it's late!
"Boom!"
The light of the fire swept through the sky, obliterating everything in its path, even the clouds were evaporated, and for a moment the night sky was clear and the stars shone brightly.
But no one is in the mood to enjoy this rare night.
"No...... No way! Joe fell to his knees feebly, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.
What a destructive force this is, such a great force, can it really be taken down by human beings? Is this guy really a demon god from hell, as he said?
Why, why did an enemy of this magnitude appear.
Can this kind of guy really be defeated?
Despair quietly swept over the hearts of everyone present.
But they didn't even have time to mourn their comrades who had lost their bones under the attack of the Demon God, because the Demon God who stood tall opened his mouth again.
Destruction is coming!
Renault sat limply on the ground, watching the terrifying coercion rise from the mouth of the demon god, as if he had never seen it in his life, and the fragility of life hit his heart, and even made him lose the ability to think.
Suddenly, he felt a coolness in his chest, moistened like spring rain in the purgatory-like heat, and the feeling of comfort brought him back to his senses.
"Inject magic into your keys, don't care about the consequences, inject as much as you want, and use all your power so that you can barely open the 'door' and have the possibility of saving your lives."
Renault took out the key and injected his own magic power into his brain, not even knowing which star spirit was the one who asked him for his magic.
The magic passed very quickly, and he felt that the key in his hand changed from passively injecting magic power to actively extracting magic power, and almost in the blink of an eye, his magic power was completely drained, and Renault's eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
But even so, the key in his hand did not stop drawing power, and after the magic power was exhausted, it was replaced by the source of life, and Renault's skin darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his hair gradually turned white.
Run out of magic! If a veteran magician had noticed Renault's current appearance, he would have noticed at a glance that the boy was in an unprecedented crisis.
The magic power of the magicians comes from the magic source in the body, which is the root of their strength, but it is also their most fatal weakness, once the magic power is suddenly drained, the empty magic source will draw all the power to fill itself, and the first thing to be drawn is the life force of the magician!
"Stinky boy, what's wrong with you?" Fortunately, Joe, who was close to him, noticed his abnormality in time, he didn't know the reason for Renault's fall, but he saw the symptoms of depleted mana.
"Magic Crystal! Who has the Magic Crystal! He took Renault in his arms and turned his head to yell at his comrades.
Although the demon god not far away was brewing the breath of destruction, at this moment he still wanted to try his best to save the life of this stupid boy.
At least until the last minute, don't die in front of me, stinky boy!
"I've got it here, what are you going to do?" A sorcerer replied.
"Give them to me, all, right away!"
Several crystals with a strange luster were thrown near Joe, and Joe grabbed one of them and pressed it against Renault's forehead.
"The gods are above, it must work!"
As if hearing his call, the magic crystal gradually lit up, and the light turned from prosperity to decline, completely extinguished in an instant, turning into mortal stones, and Qiao hurriedly picked up a new piece to add.
It's just that in this process, the attack of the demon god has also been accumulated, and according to this momentum, the next blow will be the end of the day.
"Or ...... Is it too late. Joe's eyes were full of despair.
"Ding Dong~"
At the last moment, a pleasant bell sounded in the air, and in front of the unconscious young man, a complex and magnificent magic array appeared. A radiant door seemed to open in the void, and in the light, a slender shadow stepped out.
"Ursa Major, Calisto"
"Summoned by the king, come here!"
