In the darkness, the ghostly convoy scurried through the burning streets and over the fighting crowds, leaving a straight trail in its path towards Arkham Asylum.

Eventually, the gallop of the two giant horses came to an abrupt halt before the burning building.

At the front, the door was pushed open, and a man with a gray poncho and a long, mottled beard stepped out of the car, staring at the screaming hospital ahead, and frowning at the maniacal praise faintly coming from underground.

"Everybody get out of the car and get ready. I haven't seen an emergency order for many years, and it's actually in the city of Avalon, next to the Royal Academy...... This time, those neurotics will definitely complain to the royal family about us, right?"

He shook his head, raised his voice and asked, "Where are the people on the scene?"

"I'm here. ”

The young man in the gray poncho responded, and the handsome man, who looked personable, saluted Jerome and raised his iron-gray pupils:

"Long time no see, Mr. Jerome. ”

"Gavin?"

Jerome was stunned for a moment: "I heard that you have entered the resonance level and joined the Royal Musicians, I can't believe it." I remember you were only nineteen years old and had not yet graduated from the Royal Academy of Music. ”

"It's just a family upbringing. ”

Gavin smiled: "I'm about to graduate, and my teacher arranged for me to join the Royal Musicians Ensemble to gain some experience, but I can't be considered a full member." ”

"It's almost like a full member. ”

Jerome bowed his head approvingly: "Three years ago, your teacher told me that you would be a better musician than him in the future, and now it seems that he is right.

Your father wrote to me two days ago that your brother Banner had also been admitted to the Royal School. A genius not inferior to yours, Adrian's family is really rich. ”

Gavin nodded, "Banner is much better than me, and now he is a musician." I'm just borrowing my brother's name, and Adrian's family will still rely on Banner in the future. ”

When Jerome saw the pair of iron-gray eyes, he understood, and patted him on the shoulder: "This is not a place to catch up. If you have something to say, let's talk about it another day. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Gavin to return to the group and turned to look behind him.

Behind him, nineteen royal musicians had already stepped down from the convoy and waited silently.

These elite musicians selected from the Royal School exuded powerful aether fluctuations, and some of them were followed by powerful phantom beasts.

The wind in the coming rainstorm lifted the ponchos on their shoulders and hunted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have already understood the specific situation on the way here. ”

With his back to the burning hospital, Jerome said in a loud voice, "This time we are going to defeat a large blood sacrifice of the evil gods.

Right now. Inside, there were at least a dozen musicians involved in the Fallen Rites, including at least four black musicians, as well as a group of demons that had been transformed by them. Then divide up into groups of three and proceed, and the rest of the people will guard the entrances and exits and act according to the plan, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Good. Jerome bowed his head in satisfaction, "But, before acting." One thing to remind you. ”

"Whatever the enemy is, don't be soft-hearted. ”

His expression was as cold as iron: "What His Majesty issued to us this time is not a 'crusade order'. It is the 'instrument of extermination'.

- Anything that is alive, don't leave it behind!"

Behind him, above the hospital sky, the clouds suddenly burst into a subdued roar. Beneath the earth, the oppressive hymn of praise suddenly multiplied. The shrill sound echoed in the firelight, conjuring up the shapes of various demons.

Jerome looked down at the aether ball in his hand.

Through the reflection of the ether sphere, his gaze seemed to penetrate dozens of meters of ground and fall on the blood-colored vortex that trembled violently.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "Start acting immediately." Assault!"-

Boom! Boom!

Just as the final lab was formed, the dome trembled violently, cracks spread through the walls, and rubble and dust fell from the sky and melted away into the blood.

It was the turmoil that the royal musicians forcibly broke through from the outside in, but at this moment, no one cared about those things anymore, because the blood road was about to open!

In the solemnity of the ceremony, the red-eyed voice was raised, and the sharp and piercing singing drew the blood light, causing the huge whirlpool to tremble and turn wildly.

It's coming!

The corners of his mouth were grinning and ecstatic, and he let out a soul-tearing frenzy, and the fluctuating tide of blood suddenly shook, converging and collapsing towards the vortex in the center.

There was a sound in the whirlpool like the grinding of steel, condensing from nothingness into substance. And right in the center, like a thick fog fluctuating, gradually clear.

Boom!

With a soft sound, all the crazy singing came to an abrupt end.

In the silence, everyone gazed feverishly at the whirlpool that emitted a dark light, and in the white mist in the depths of the whirlpool, the silhouette of the hideous city was faintly revealed.

"Open?!"

The red eye murmured in a low voice, and let out a sharp laugh like a night owl: "It's on! The blood road is open!

The Shadow of Avalon is already in our hands!"

All the musicians shouted wildly, in unison, in praise of the glory of the gods, and shouted madly.

But in the midst of the praise, everyone's expressions changed in an instant, and they looked in the direction of the whirlpool in disbelief.

Dead silence!

In the midst of the whirlpool, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and a vague shadow faintly emerged, getting closer and closer...... On the other side of the bloodpath, in the shadow of Avalon, something is following the passage to this world.

At the forefront, the musician who maintained the whirlpool couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, looking suspicious.

The Shadow of Avalon, the 'Land of Nothing' forged by King Arthur based on the artifact Sword in Stone.

While the Mad King was still alive, he feasted on blood and turned the entire city into a demonic domain, and it is unknown how many bones were buried and what monsters were brewed.

But hundreds of years have passed now, and in the world behind the door...... Is there anything else alive?

Everyone's breathing was heavy. His whole body tensed, staring at the blurred figure in the white mist.

In the silent silence, only the faint sound of footsteps came from the whirlpool.

Closer, closer, closer and closer.

Until the end, that terrible shadow is about to step out of the vortex. Reveal your own face. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and be on guard.

In an instant, everyone saw it......

An indescribable look of arrogance.

It's like staring at dust, dross, or bugs under your feet, gravel in your way, or something more despicable.

The eyes stared at them, but the gaze clearly passed through the shallow and ridiculous shells and fell into the void.

There is nothing to look at here.

Its fur reflected the glow of blood, but it took on a metallic gold. Sharp teeth are sharp. Turning a terrifying chill.

That's a ......

"Dogs?"

Red Eye heard the sound of his jaw dislocating.

Immediately, he was shocked: what kind of illusion is this? Unknowingly, he has fallen into this illusion.

In an instant, he oozed a cold sweat, and quickly blessed himself with various states, but in the end, he still didn't notice any clues.

I saw only a pair of disdainful eyes.

"Dogs?"

"That's right, it's a dog......

"Why did a dog emerge from the Shadow of Avalon?"

"Is it really a dog? It can't be a scary monster, right?"

The musicians next to him couldn't help but discuss in a low voice, and the expressions that fell towards the whirlpool became extremely suspicious: could it be that the whirlpool was not leading to the shadow of Avalon. Rather, some kennel?

While everyone was talking and pointing, the big golden retriever took small steps. As if the king had gone on a tour, he circled the room, and when he found nothing interesting, his expression was filled with contempt.

Finally, it stopped in front of its bare eyes, crouched down, and glanced up at him.

The red eyes were stunned. Immediately felt a little ridiculous, pointed to the golden retriever dog and looked at the person beside him: "It's looking at me? I don't know if it's a real dog...... Whew!"

The last scream was screaming.

Because the big golden retriever opened its mouth and bit his hand mercilessly, its sharp teeth sinking deep into the flesh and almost the entire palm of his hand.

An unjustified pain spread from the wound. The red eye only felt that the palm of his hand was unconscious for a moment, and then there was a terrible pain like a knife splitting an axe!

His knees went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

But he finally determined: this is really a dog, yes!

It's so biting!

The dog, on the other hand, shook his head very humanely, spat on the ground, and finally sneezed and snorted disdainfully from his nose.

Get up, drop your butt, and walk back into the whirlpool......

It's so boring here, I'm going somewhere else. That's what it means, right?

"Brute!"

The red-eyed eyes really turned blood-red, and he roared hoarsely: "You are looking for death!"

Suddenly, his arm twisted and wriggled, and his flesh flowed like a solution, clinging to the violently deformed skeleton, multiplying and elongating, and instantly turning into a pitch-black flesh python.

In front of the whirlpool, the dog turned back.

Its eyes were still full of disdain, 'Shhh!', as if it was making such a sound through its nostrils.

Immediately after, the whirlpool trembled!

A room-shattering roar came from the darkness behind the whirlpool, and a foul-smelling hurricane burst into thin air.

The whirlpool rippled, the darkness in the center was torn apart, and a black hand stretched out from the upper vortex. It unfolded silently, and it covered the huge dome!

The palm of the hand, which is tens of meters in size, seems to be composed of ashes, and countless ashes make up its vague outline, just by sticking into the palm of a hand, it is already about to burst the whirlpool! (To be continued......)
