According to the analysis report of authoritative experts, there are only two days left before the Demon Sealing Gate is fully opened, and a day ago, the opposite side of the Demon Sealing Gate stopped the action of throwing demons on the main continent.

The snow melts, and the first spring rain of the new year falls.

The drizzle was drenched, and the clothes were wet.

In this hazy rain, a group of five people were walking slowly on the road.

Inside the Holy Guardian Barrier of the East Forest, there are many wide avenues made of magic turning mud into stone, and inspecting and protecting these roads is also one of the daily tasks of the Alliance Army.

Id's mission today is to inspect the outermost avenue within the barrier.

Because of the last Ice Demon incident, it has been determined that it is possible to open the door of space within the Holy Guardian Enchantment, so for this reason, the inspection and repair of the outermost road, the Alliance Army will generally send a sage-level powerhouse to guard and protect it.

As he walked, Ide abruptly raised his hand and motioned for the four earth mages behind him to stop.

Ide stomped his foot lightly, frowning a little suspiciously: "Something doesn't seem right." ”

"Your Highness, what's going on?" The leader of the magician who specializes in road construction was startled, picked up a magic scroll in his hand that exuded a terrifying magical aura, and looked around sharply.

Ide frowned, hesitated, then turned to look at the magician leader and said, "Your Excellency Thomas, can you please release a landslide here?" ”

"Ground collapse? Over here? Hearing Ed's words, Thomas couldn't help but be stunned, and Thomas, who reacted, looked at Ide curiously, although the words of the sage should have its truth, but Thomas still couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness Id, what's the reason?" ”

Looking at Thomas, who began to mobilize the surrounding earth magic elements to unleash the great magic, Ed shook his head a little tangled. "There's no reason, it's just that I feel like I suddenly have a palpitation in my heart when I walk here, but I really didn't find anything abnormal after scanning the surrounding area back and forth a few times with my mental power, and the palpitations disappeared quickly, but I still think it's best to check it. The underground side of Higashi-no-mori is the most problematic. After all, you also know the underground on this side of the East Forest, and the root systems of Nordasir and Tedasil are buried underneath, which can easily interfere with the scanning of the underground. I'm sorry, maybe I'm being willful. ”

In response to Id's apologetic eyes, Uncle Thomas, who was nearly forty years old, shook his head with a serious expression, manipulated an earthy yellow ball of light with one hand, and continued to talk to Ide with two minds: "No, it is a major problem for you, as a sage, to feel palpitations. It really should be well checked. ”

"It's strange that I didn't feel this way when I passed by here the day before yesterday." Ide pinched his chin, saw the magic in Thomas's hand take shape, and hurriedly waved his hand, summoning the hand of holy power to lift the two apprentices beside Thomas from the ground, and at the same time, Ide himself floated up.

"Ground collapse!" Pressing the bright earthy yellow ball of light in his hand into the ground, Thomas hurriedly soared into the air.

The next moment. The earth shakes and the mountains shake! The rumbling sound was endless, and dense cracks appeared on the avenue. The violent tremors can be felt from afar.

"Damn, what's wrong, what's wrong, with someone? Sir Ed, are you okay here, anyway, why is it that only the earth-based magic elements have changed in the detection on my side? "It wasn't long before the earth shook before the green leaves from Nodashir on Id's collar shone faintly.

Ide informed Nodashir of his concerns, glancing down at the crumpled earth. After frowning, he muttered to himself, "Does it seem to be an illusion?" ”

Id's halfway through speaking, there was a slight cracking sound from the depths of the earth, and the next moment, the earth that had been cast with the earth's collapse magic slammed into a piece! Dropping a ball of light for illumination, Ed saw a half-buried dark hole.

Ed opened his mouth and glanced at Thomas. At the same time, I saw the horror in the eyes of the other party. Ide smiled bitterly, "It looks like it's a big trouble." ”

The spiritual power quickly swept towards the deep hole, and a strange membrane blocked the front of Yide's mental power scan, frowning slightly, the spiritual power turned into a sharp cone, and Yide stabbed it without hesitation.

In the next moment, Ide's face changed! Id's spiritual power for scanning has entered a new region, a region full of malice!

In the pitch-black chaos, a pair of scarlet eyes that exuded a demonic aura suddenly opened and stared at Yide, and a familiar voice reached Yide's mind through spiritual power, "Don't just peek at it." ”

It's the Dark King!

Id, who reacted immediately, directly disconnected the mental power scan, recalling the words of the Dark King in his mind, Ide couldn't help but grit his teeth, Ide knew that no matter what, he should enter this underground tunnel to explore.

"Lord Thomas, you leave here with your students and go back to report to Nodahir that the Dark Cross men have used the underground tunnels to enter the East Forest! I'll go check it out in this tunnel. I'd like to see what the hell the Dark Cross are up to. "As one of the strongest in the alliance army, Ide naturally took on the heavy responsibility of exploring the underground tunnels.

A few days ago, the nine-tailed fox reported that there were suspected dark crosses near the Higashi-no-Mori, and now it seems that the Dark Cross has passed through the blind spot of the rain curtain warning and used the underground cave to enter the Higashi-no-Mori.

A mysterious tunnel appears underneath the East Forest, but this tunnel is still blessed by a special force, blocking the hidden tunnel of its existence. If it weren't for Ed's sudden palpitations, this tunnel would not have been discovered, and there must have been problems and conspiracies in it.

"The Dark Cross?" Thomas's face changed, and after secretly saying that it was them, he quickly nodded and blessed himself with a magic of earth power, Thomas directly picked up his two students and flew towards the direction of the station.

Seeing Thomas and the others go away, Ide turned around, brought a golden holy flame with him by his side, raised his right hand and held a golden holy flame in his hand, and Id's right fist was suddenly wrapped in golden holy flames, "Underground Demon Cave?" Hehe. ”

The current Id is not the weak chicken who saw the Dark King Sariyah and could only use the mouth cannon to deal with him, and Id, who broke through the sage and broke the cocoon into a butterfly, dared to confront it confidently even in the face of the Dark King in his heyday.

Ide stepped down from the air seemingly casually, stood in front of the tunnel entrance, and with a wave of his hand, the blazing flame broke a layer of black light film, and a cold, icy air flow suddenly rushed from the mouth of the tunnel.

Feeling this air flow mixed with strange evil magic, the golden flame surrounding Ide's body swelled in an instant as if it had been provoked.

The corners of Id's mouth rose slightly, and a confident and flamboyant smile appeared on Id's face: "Dark King, Dark Cross, and demons, just let me break through." ”

The extremely rich divine aura continued to pour out from Yide's body, and the white gold-inlaid divine official robe was windless, and with the restless golden holy flame, Yide stepped into the dark region with one foot! (To be continued......)
