Chapter 33: The Darkest Night

Tonight's night was destined to be a sleepless night for the remaining refugees and scattered soldiers in the city of Leiming.

The demons' footsteps had faded, but it was largely understood that they were preparing for the next larger attack.

In a small slum on the city's border, young refugees huddle together, discussing what to do.

"Paul, can we get out of this place now?" A young man lying on a rag mattress asked uneasily.

"I don't know, those demons are gone now, but I can't guarantee that they have left here." Another young man leaning against the wall and poking his head out and looking around replied.

"Then are we going to die here?!" A rather shrill voice came, causing Paul to frown dissatisfiedly.

He looked back at the woman with her hair disheveled and ragged.

At the time of this disaster, she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, but the devil had destroyed almost everything she had.

"Mary, if you don't want to be here, then go, no one will stop you." Paul said mercilessly, then turned his head back to look outside.

His night vision is good, and most demons are more visible in the dark, so it's not difficult to spot them.

The refugees gathered in this alley are running out of food, water and water.

The young man lying on the mattress tossed and turned, and after a long time, he got up and said, "Paul, shall we go outside and look for food?" ”

Almost everyone here looked at him with a look of surprise and horror.

"Xiao Chen, are you crazy!?" From the depths of the alley came a somewhat hoarse male voice, "Those demons will tear you to shreds!" ”

"But we don't have anything to eat!" Xiao Chen turned around and shouted, and quickly covered his mouth again, until Paul in front signaled that he was not in danger, and then said:

"Paul has already said that the demon has disappeared for the time being, now is a good opportunity to go out and find food, it is still unknown whether we will survive tomorrow morning!"

Mary, who was squatting in the corner, nodded eagerly and said, "Paul is right! ”

The people in the alley fell silent, and Xiao Chen looked at Paul again, who agreed with his idea.

"Take this shovel with you." "At least hold a skeleton for a few seconds." ”

Xiao Chen took the shovel and found that the front of it was rusty, so he couldn't help but smile, "Let's go!" ”

Two extremely cautious figures slipped out of the alley and nimbly ducked into the alley.

"Paul, can you see anything unusual?" Xiao Chen asked, his night vision was nowhere near as sharp as Paul's.

"No, there's only one burned car ahead." Paul narrowed his eyes and replied.

Xiao Chen and Paul fumbled for a while and found that there was no place to store food, so they quickly left.

"I think the neighborhood has been almost destroyed by demons." Xiao Chen said, "Maybe those military fortresses still have what we want." ”

"You have a point, but the forts are far from here." Paul rummaged through the trash can next to him and said.

"But we've ...... Be careful!! Xiao Chen quickly threw Paul to the ground.

A huge fireball hit the trash can that Paul had just turned over, and the boiling flames instantly burned the trash can completely.

The two of them ran through the path desperately, and after running for a while, they were relieved to find that the fire demon had not caught up.

"It seems...... Demons aren't as simple as I thought......" Paul said, gasping for air.

Xiao Chen leaned against the wall and looked around, "Let's see if there are any more of them here, I almost died just now." ”

"No...... Now where are we? Paul asked, looking around and puzzled.

"Hmm...... Not very clear. Xiao Chen was holding the ground with a shovel, looking a little indifferent.

The two continued along the road for a while, and Paul was surprised to find the fortress they were looking for!

"Did you see that? The fortress in front? Paul said with a little excitement, "Now it's okay, we're saved!" ”

Xiao Chen glanced around and said, "There should be a lot of demons guarding here, right?" It may not be that easy to get into. ”

"It's okay, I have a solution." Paul said confidently, and Xiao Chen next to him stared at him with some doubts.

Paul took out two small pieces of paper from the pocket of his clothes, bit his fingers, and drew a strange symbol on the piece of paper with his own blood.

"What is this?" Xiao Chen took the piece of paper handed by Paul and asked, "There seems to be something familiar in this......

"Just a little spell that disguised us as demons." "This symbol can give us a demonic aura. ”

Xiao Chen let out an "oh", casually fiddling with the small note, and asked, "Then why didn't you use this trick to escape in the first place?" ”

Paul touched his head a little ashamedly, and whispered, "This little spell was only developed by me two hours ago......"

Xiao Chen glanced at Paul with disdain, "Then you are really smart." ”

The two of them disappeared into the darkness once more, and since the fortress had been almost destroyed by demons and only empty shells, they easily slipped in.

Entering the dilapidated hallway, the two of them found five skeleton cavalry on patrol, and Paul was terrified by these terrifying monsters.

Xiao Chen dragged Paul into one of the conference rooms, which was full of flowing lava caused by the fire demons, so Xiao Chen pulled Paul out again.

In the end, I searched many places, but I couldn't find the food the two wanted.

"Then we'll have to try our luck in the safe house on the roof." Xiao Chen squatted under the table and said to Paul next to him.

Paul hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The two climbed the staircase to the top floor, but the staircase was so broken that they could only half-climb and half-walk up.

Paul, who poked his head out of the cave, looked around and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was not a single demon here.

"Come up, Xiao Chen!" Paul took Xiao Chen's hand to help him come up, "The food must be in the safe house over there!" ”

Xiao Chen seemed to be a little abnormal, but he just glanced at Paul lightly, and patted the dust on his clothes.

"Paul." Xiao Chen raised his head and said, "Don't you think the black hole on it is very interesting?" ”

"What?" Paul looked up at Xiao Chen's movements, and found a very terrifying black hole in the night sky, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

"Because it's just interesting......" Xiao Chen's provocative words made Paul very uneasy, "Xiao Chen, what are you ......?"

Paul was speechless by the fright in front of him.

Xiao Chen's eyes turned extremely scarlet, and his two slightly white hands suddenly turned into two sharp black claws, and the strange black rock-like markings tore through his clothes to reveal them.

"Then you can experience my happiness too......"

Xiao Chen easily grabbed Paul's neck with his left hand and lifted him up to the black hole in the night sky.

“...... No...... To ......" Paul struggled to break free from the grip of the monster in front of him, but could not do anything.

I saw that the black hole that had originally turned into a pool of stagnant water began to rotate strangely, and the rich dark energy wrapped around it, forming the most terrifying bad omen in the long night.

Paul's body was gradually attracted to the black hole, stretched, and the pain of being torn apart made Paul almost faint.

"Hahaha......" The monster's wild laughter was particularly harsh in the dead night.

After a long time, the monster let go of its left hand, which was already drenched in blood, and the remaining half of its body was also sucked into the black hole.

The moon was obscured by a thick mist, but for some reason, the cloud revealed a faint blood red.

The monster snapped its fingers, and dozens of burning skeleton cavalry instantly appeared on the roof of the originally empty building.

"I've got the memories of the human just now." "Now you should see it, go and destroy all the scum that's still alive." ”

The skeleton cavalry quickly left, while the monster stared intently at the massive black hole in front of them.

"I've followed through on my promise, and now you're going to do the second step from here......"

"No, it's not yet." The sudden sound startled the monster slightly, and then turned away, only to see a "human" who was not supposed to appear.

"Gareth. Lord Casseres, your impatience will ruin your plans for the future. The man said politely.

The man in the night didn't look so conspicuous, but Gareth could still make out his red eyes and short dark purple hair.

Gareth glanced at it a few times, turned away expressionlessly, and said, "I have the right to kill you by decree of the demon clan, but your master is something I can't afford to provoke." ”

"Where, where, she just hopes that you don't go too far, and besides, my name is Molie, respected Demon Lord." Morel owes himself a debt and is very respectful to Gareth.

"Moriel? I remember, you can roll. Gareth said, "There is no room for you to interfere in our affairs, and this land will surely fall under our rule." ”

"I hope so......" Glaile paid no attention to Gareth's rudeness, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"I just sacrificed a living person, so half of my body should be able to come over, right?" Gareth muttered to himself.

The black hole in front of me began to spin rapidly, and a black object that I couldn't tell what it looked like seeped out of it.

Gareth caught the black object, and it gradually merged into Gareth's body, and the rock markings that had covered only half of his body quickly spread.

"Now these scum can feel the horror of being forgotten thousands of years ago......" Gareth clenched his huge claws in pleasure.
