Chapter 50: Where Darkness Reigns

"In other words, the Necromancy's attack is about to be declared bankrupt, and we can't take out Sark's life for the time being, otherwise we will become the target of public criticism, right?"

To the south of Dimore, Artevans had seen everything that had happened during this time through the crystal ball given to him by Sheola.

While the others were discussing their plans in the Demon King's Palace, Theola secretly conveyed the conversation to Artevans, including her eavesdropping on Kaina and Zac's conversation.

Artevans was very smart, and he knew immediately that things were no longer going in the direction he had hoped. Instead of forcing your goal, wait for the next opportunity. Trust in Sheola's abilities made Artevans not in a hurry to seize power.

However, what surprised Atfans was Kaina's presence and identity. Sheola said that her mother was the high priest of the "Black Temple", and combined with what Kaina said, Kayla is Kaina's sister, which means that Kajna is her relative.

Artevans didn't feel anything because of this sudden news. Whether it is a relative or not, he has never met Kaina, so naturally he will not have any feelings for Kaina.

"So what do I need to do now?" Atfans thinks Sheola will deal with the situation.

"Anyway, now you need to dispose of the undead in the wild, and as for the captured civilians, if you find them, rescue them or use them as your energy supply, it's up to you. I'll make other arrangements for what we planned before.'"

Sheola's words made Artevans feel that this was not part of the original plan, but the result of improvisation. In fact, the current situation is indeed unexpected by Sheola.

(This is the first time I have not lived up to what I have seen, and it seems that you still have some value, Your Majesty.) It seems that I am going to re-examine the future...... )

"Good luck, then." With that, Sheora severed the connection between her minds.

Artevans also stood up, patted the dust, and jumped to the ground, but for a moment he didn't pay attention and stumbled.

Standing firm, he looked at the corpse of the necromantic soldier beneath his feet and shook his head, as if laughing at himself for not noticing the ground.

"It's time for Rusha's side to decide the winner." Looking at the corpses on the ground that had been eroded by the darkness, Artevans silently walked out of the woods.

Not long ago, during a conversation with Sheola, Artevans learned that the necromancer is not mostly determined by external senses.

Some necromancers will have no eyes, others will have no ears, and in fact these external senses are useful to necromancers, but they are not entirely dependent on them. Necromancers use their mental perception to determine where they are and what is nearby.

Taking advantage of this, Artevans used his magic to condense a bunch of small black balls that constantly exuded the breath of demons in the woods, in order to lure the necromantic soldiers who fell from the clouds to the vicinity, and then crushed them in one fell swoop when they reached his trap.

To Artefans' surprise, this method also attracted the necromantic general Kawlo. In order to prevent the trap carefully laid out by Artevans from being destroyed, Aruba took the initiative to lure Kauro away and engage him.

The rest of the necromantic soldiers who had entered the trap of Atfans were burrowed into their bodies by the dark aura spread by the sudden explosion of those black balls, and continued to erode from the inside out. Artevans just stood on the tree, watching these necromantic soldiers die in agony, and did nothing else.

The information that Sheora conveyed to him earlier also made Artevans decide to solve the current situation first. If you can't take advantage of the riot to kill Sark, then the best thing to do is to maintain the trust you have for a while and find the right time.

After stepping out of the woods, Artevans saw Rusa stomp on Karo's head and stab her wristblade into the other's heart, slicing the source spirit.

The obese Kauro feeds on low-level spirits and stores them in his stomach to transform into spirit bombs for use in battle, an ability that is almost useless to Rusa, who is a nightmare. It was only a matter of time before Rusha finally defeated Kaoro.

But judging from Rusa's unscathed appearance, dealing with Kauro is like a game.

"Lord Artevans, the enemy has been resolved." Sensing Atvance's gaze, Aruba turned her head and said to Attevis.

"Looks like this battle is going to be easy for you." Atvance looked at the messy but not fatal wounds on Kauro's body and knew that the battle had fallen completely to Rusa.

Rusha deliberately delayed and did not kill Karo immediately, buying time for Atvance's trap to fully take effect, and giving Kauro the illusion that she could compete with Rusa. As a result, Ai Rusha completely played Koro under her agile body, and Koro couldn't touch her at all.

"Lord Artevans has won the prize." Rusa humbly bowed her head and said, "This battle made me realize something."

"Oh?" Atfans became interested.

"The Necromancy was able to force the demons into this situation, relying entirely on numerical superiority, and their individual combat effectiveness is not strong." Rusha looked down at Koro, as if recalling the battle with Koro.

"To be precise, it should be that the individual combat power of the general level is too low." Atfans corrected.

Arubusa was very satisfied with Atelvans' words, and even though he had known about it for a long time, Aruba was able to gradually use her mind, which made Atvance happy.

Since the Necronomicon is a highly centralized system of wills, the strength of each high-level spirit must be average, and the total strength of all spirits is determined by the energy obtained by the parent body. In this case, the Necrons have only a numerical advantage.

In the face of the demon soldiers who are also not strong, the necromantic soldiers can rely on the number and the small strength gap to make the demon soldiers retreat, but for the high-level spirit body as a general and Devoga, who is also a general, the difference in strength is quite obvious.

As long as there is no ability to restrain it, or if the Necronomicon uses the Eye of the Dead again, then it can even be said that the Demon Clan's side can basically kill all sides as long as they rely on Dvoga and Eve.

When considering this situation, Artevans even began to wonder why the demons had fallen into such a situation.

"Lord Artevans, counting the necromantic general that Ai Rusha dealt with just now, there should be two left, and it is possible that they will be with the captured civilians."

Theola's sudden exchange of thoughts pulled Artevans' thoughts back. Atfans shook his head and adjusted his thoughts.

"Do you know where they are?" Atfans asked.

"Just walking in your direction."

As soon as Sheola's words were finished, Artevans took the initiative to cut off contact, and he had already seen a large group of figures walking towards this place not far away.

The demon civilians who were driven forward looked depressed, some were already praying silently, and some were whimpering in low voices. The child clings to the arms of their loved ones, and they don't yet know what they will face next.

More than a dozen necromantic soldiers formed a circle around the demon civilians to prevent any of them from escaping. At the forefront are the necromantic generals Zaris and Fisk. Zaris's appearance is that of a giant slime, while Fisk is more of a normal humanoid.

"It's not a good choice to let the weakest generals escort civilians." Artevans whispered to himself.

"Lord Artevans." Naturally, Rusa saw this scene and asked Artevans for instructions.

"Soldier, you settle it, the first two generals, belong to me." With a wave of his hand, Artevans spread out the darkness, enveloping the area.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Arusha turned back into her main body and quietly circled to the back of the group, using the black shadow of her body to scatter several shadow blades and throw them at the necromantic soldiers.

The moment the Necro Soldier was hit in the back by the Shadow Blade, Rusa immediately transformed into a human form, with several thin black threads tied to her fingers connecting the Shadow Blades. With a force of her hand, Rusha pulled the Shadow Blade and the Necromantic Soldier's Source Spirit Body out of their bodies.

Before the Necro Soldier could make a sound, he fell to the ground and lost his life. The Source Spirits that were taken by Aruba were exposed to the darkness summoned by Atfans and gradually eroded.

Zaris notices something is wrong and makes a "grunt" sound at Fisk.

"I know that this darkness must be man-made, that we have been attacked." Fisk understood what Zaris meant, and said with a nervous expression.

But he didn't realize that the soldiers he was leading had been disposed of by Rusa the moment darkness fell. As he turned back, he was surprised to find that all the captured civilians had disappeared, and only the soldiers had fallen to the ground.

"Who is it?" Fisk shouted loudly.

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you are going to die."

With a whisper, Fisk and Zaris suddenly found themselves in a black quagmire of ground beneath their feet. Bloody hands emerged from the mire, clutching them tightly.

Fisk waved his arms and resisted with all his might, but out of nowhere, countless black vines flew and bound him.

On the other side, the bloody hand tore at Zaris's smooth body, and Zaris's squirmed uneasily with his viscous body, but the slime's body was not strong, and its body was quickly ripped off.

When Fisk and Zaris were no longer capable of resisting, a bottomless hole opened in the center of the black mire. Countless bloody hands dripping with black slime slowly crawled out of the cave, dragging them into the abyss.

When they completely disappeared into the darkness, the darkness disappeared as well. Everything went back to normal, and the civilians fainted in place, surrounded by rotting necromantic soldiers.

Fiske and Zaris, on the other hand, fell to the ground intact, asleep forever......
