7. The Upside-Down City

A roaring shock rang in my ears, and the building shook with it.

It was a lava demon.

It found us.

Lamia shot at it, and the flames of the lava demon surrounded it, and although Kungunir was multiplied, it was so light that it failed to penetrate the flames, and the lava demon was much more powerful than ours.

Lamia said, "Run! ”

I shouted, "Run? I don't have that word in my dictionary! ”

Lamia tugged at my hand: "Run!" ”

We galloped in the direction of the rope, and it was too late to use the saddle device, so we had a run of parkour. The monster suddenly erupted into a fireball, and the house in front of us sank in flames, and I put my arms around Lamia, cast the iron lotus, and passed through the fierce fire.

The Lava Demon was blocked by the layers of buildings, and it erupted with terrifying force, knocking the buildings into pieces and falling down as if they were made of building blocks.

I said, "It's endless, you might as well let me kill it." ”

Lamia sighed, "Then do whatever you want, don't get hurt." ”

I pulled out Mjonir and threw it at the lava demon, the sword piercing through the flames, and the lava demon roared. As soon as I raised my hand, Mjonir continued to dig deeper into its wounds as I drew my spear and slashed at the lava demon in quick succession. It was struck several times, and each of them made it uncomfortable, so it became so angry that it grabbed a boulder and threw it at me, and I smashed it in the air with a spear gun.

I aimed my glove at my lightning sword and sent out an extinction blade, and a strong electric current suddenly exploded from the lava demon's body, and the lava demon's cry was extremely painful, and the flames on his body were much thinner. I sprinted into the flames, and slammed into it with a god-killing blow again, and the lava demon's head burst into blood, and hot blood spurted out, as if it were spewing lava.

It reached out to grab me, but I dodged it, and it didn't stand still, it fell to the side, crushing a small part of a museum. It's not slow, but it looks like slow motion to me.

However, this lava demon is incredibly strong, and even if his brain hits one after another, he can still run and jump, and his skills are strong. Not daring to come near me, it got up, grabbed more stones, and threw them into the sky like flowers, which turned into a rain of burning flints. Lamia and I had to run around and dodge.

Lamia shoots at the Lava Demon, the bullet wounds it, but it still dodges the point, no, it was Lamia who had to dodge the Lava Demon's rocks to the point where she lost her mind.

Suddenly, I noticed a white-green cloud of smoke around the lava demon's body, and I thought to myself, "Is that aether?" ”

The aether seems to be asleep, and it doesn't do any harm to demons, but we have aether grenades, haven't we caused violent reactions before?

I sent a dark cloud, the black mist obscuring its vision, and I threw a grenade at its face, but it didn't react. In an instant, the aether was ignited, and the lava demon fell into a seemingly never-ending explosion, and the burning of the aether spread for an entire block, and the bright fire rose thirty meters high.

The Lava Demon is destroyed by the Aether, exposing its withered muscles beneath the cortex and slamming into the ground, smashing into a large crater.

I looked at Lamia and waited for her reverent gaze, but she said, "Don't play tricks, go away." ”

I was so disappointed that I said, "That's all you say? ”

Lamia pointed to the demon tree, and I saw the demons surging like a tide, and she said, "You are slow, you have attracted attention, go quickly." ”

Oh, by the way, she thought I could slash this demon to death with a single sword, but in fact, I had already said goodbye to the power of the saints, and the name of the Black Coffin Sword Saint had become a pure deterrent. I felt an indescribable sense of grief and indignation, but now was not the time to lament.

The red dragon rushed after us, disturbing the clouds as if the sky had fallen, and the dense demons flooded the streets, it was enough, how could they be so agile?

Lamia said, "You have to find a shadow to hide." ”

The ether here is so thick that the Larsin Arcane is useless, and we're going to have to go full throttle. Lamia said, "It's almost there, it's in..."

She jumped up on a tall building and pointed ahead, stunned by the fact that my mind went blank when I saw the scene clearly.

There are not ruins of castles, but clusters of skyscrapers.

I thought it was a mirage or something, but these tall buildings are too real to be fake, they are more like the ocean of aether, they exist in the air in a way that does not hinder vision, and through the sea of aether, the distant scenery is vivid and clear.

There are no demons here.

There was no trace of a demon.

The building we were standing on was the end of the rope, and after jumping off the building, there was a journey of about 300 meters to reach the black skyscrapers.

The whole street was covered with black skyscrapers, and before, when I had never seen the world and knew the dangers of the world, I thought skyscrapers were heaven, and now, I suspect that it is no better than hell.

Because these skyscrapers are so dense and weird.

Lamia asked, "Ember... Crystal? The whole street was made of ember crystals? This is also an exaggeration. ”

I didn't hear the demons approaching, and when I looked back, they were returning to the Demon Tree, which was off-limits for them.

As we walked towards the buildings, the closer we got to them, the more terrified we became.

None of these buildings were completed, and most of them were only framed, with some walls and glass pasted.

For some reason, their builders built them from top to bottom with black glass, so the skyscrapers resemble transparent rectangular chests, doused with ink from top to bottom, and about half blackened.

Moreover, they do not have a foundation.

They are floating.

It is said that the city is a jungle of reinforced concrete, but these high-rise buildings are like freaks of reinforced concrete, which are aborted in the production process. It is like the ghost of a skyscraper after death, floating and wandering above the earth.

Lamia and I looked at each other and couldn't help but clasp our hands, feeling the uneasiness of each other.

I said, "It's a different space, it can't be a normal world." ”

Lamia said, "I believe you tell me this is Hades, and it's too ... It's too silent. ”

"This is the ruins of Remor's castle?"

Lamia said, "Tell me it's here, what's going on in this city?" It's a demon tree again, and it's a ghost building again. ”

When they were only thirty meters from the skyscrapers, ten ropes pierced into the ground, and then ten figures slid down from above, clutching the saddle and landing to the ground. The ten men were dressed in black trench coats and leather armor, wearing oxygen masks, and holding crudely made firearms.

They shouted, "Stop! Outsiders! Give us the weapons! Then a gun was pointed at our heads.

I asked, "Are you British?" Londoner? ”

They said: "Nonsense. ”

I said, "Why do you speak English so badly?" The accent is too strong. ”

This angered them, and some of them pointed guns to my forehead and angrily said, "We are authentic Londoners." ”

I sighed, "You have to study hard, the pronunciation of American English is the mainstream, the London accent or something..."

Lamia glared at me and said, "Don't be serious. Get down to business! ”

I complained, "I'm very serious. These Brits' English is too bad. ”

They started scolding, and I was surprised that there were still humans alive here, but now I wasn't surprised - there was too much aether here, and demons wouldn't dare to break in, which gave humans a chance to breathe.

One of them seemed to be the captain, whom I had heard called Ann Houton, and the vice-captain, a woman named Safi. Ann Houton wanted to make a hole in our heads, but Safi said, "Don't forget the task given to us by the Prime Minister." ”

Ann Horton exclaimed, "These two impolite fellows have escaped death in our territory, but their mouths are not dry, aren't they looking for death?" ”

"But the Prime Minister's order is above all else," Safi said. She said to us, "Please give us your weapons." ”

I shook my head and said, "Do you think we're stupid?" Surrender to you? Hum. "Actually, I don't care if I have weapons or not, they are of this level, such dilapidated equipment, I can deal with two hundred, but I can't give in, dignity is the top priority.

Safi said, "We've watched your movements through the slides, and you're not very skilled. ”

My heart burned and I said, "Then you must have seen me alone and single-handedly smash out a lava demon." ”

I'm used to others being in awe of my reputation as a Black Coffin Sword Saint, and if they don't, I always feel that something is lacking. When people fear you, they will become talkative, they will not act rashly, and even if they are conspiratorial, they will most likely dismiss them.

Deterrence can be won without a fight.

"We didn't see it, one of the cameras was broken," Safi said. ”

I said, "But it's true!" I literally killed it, and my wife can testify...."

Lamia secretly pinched me and said, "We want to find something here, it won't cause you any trouble, and when we find it, we'll leave immediately." ”

Ann Houghton exclaimed, "Stop talking nonsense! Take all your grenades, your guns, your swords..."

He was fierce, the gun in his hand touched Lamia's oxygen mask, and in an instant, I had no thoughts, and when I came back to my senses, Anhorton was choked by my throat, and everyone except Safi was lying on the ground, and Safi had a gun in his hand, but the gun had been dismantled into several pieces.

Lamia sighed and said, "Langi, let him go first." ”

I threw Ann Horton to the ground, and his expression was so grim that Safi immediately went up to pick him up. Ann Horton coughed and scolded, "It's... , dog... Bastard.... Call for support! Call for support! ”

I took a step and Safi shouted, "Don't come here!" ”

There was a sound of the bell tower above, and someone on one floor said: "Let them keep their weapons, the Prime Minister said!" Come on, come on! Heavy feathers are about to appear. ”

Those who were knocked down by me grabbed the slide, and the slide went up at the speed of a train. Safi pointed to the saddle on the other two ropes and said, "Use this rail." ”

I asked, "What is a heavy feather?" ”

Safi said: "When you meet the prime minister, he will explain to you, hurry up, there is no time." ”
