Deep underground, enclosed space.

The perennial flames of the altar were finally extinguished, the dull earth sank into darkness, and the tall stone dam surrounded the complex like a huge mountain cliff. The huge power fluctuations hit the space wave after wave like a flood that bursts the embankment.

A twisted hole suddenly tore in the sky, and a burning blue meteorite pierced through it in an instant, and the lifeless complex was coated with a layer of dark light and shadow in one moment, and the next second it was engulfed by darkness again.

The meteorite went straight through the altar's extinguished torch and smashed into the inner space, smashing the ground into several deep craters, bouncing a few times, and finally rolling down in front of several closed tentacles.

“......”

A huge black claw that seemed to be poured into metal stretched out to the ground, and the five fingers like iron hooks suddenly closed, picked up the "meteorite" that was still sprayed with embers, and handed it to his eyes.

"It's a pity that it was injured like this, and there is no possibility of repair. ”

The vibrating light of the demon's surface flickered, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the Giant Claw's owner, and Calf's cold, stiff face revealed its outline in the faint light.

A three-foot-long, spiral with sharp right angles growing on his densely scaly face, matched with the blood-colored pupilless eyes, was indescribably hideous and cold, as if to imply the complete fall of human nature.

The upper half of his body barely maintained the outline of a humanoid, his skin turned pitch black, a huge vertical pupil was closed on his chest, strong barbs grew from his elbows and shoulders, and his elbows turned into demonic claws. The lower half of his body completely turned into the body tissue of the evil god, and only eight octopus-like brown tentacles remained. Standing together like a jellyfish, it supports Calf's heavy, sturdy upper body.

"Are our children back? ”

The Demon God's servant flew to his side like a bat and glanced at the meteorite that shimmered blue in his hand. In a flattering tone that even it felt disgusting, it said:

"Lord Calf, the Great Demon God, it has shattered its core and will not live long. ”

"It's just to be expected. ”

Calve's blood-colored eyes widened slightly, and the symbol of the three-eyed skeleton on the surface of the "meteorite" glowed, and it came out of his body and turned into a blue light, which was printed straight on his forehead.

"It's still these two people...... It seems that the Rosavians have run out of business. ”

He narrowed his eyes and let out a gruff laugh like the friction of gold and iron. Throwing aside the fading meteorite, he turned and walked towards the closed isolation door behind him.

"Great Calf-sama. Are you ready to attack in advance?" the Demon God servant hurriedly followed.

"Why not, having completely digested the power of the Black Goat Mother Goddess, I am now equivalent to a god, and I don't have to wait for the blessings of the day of recovery. Even the undamaged Apotheosis Knight could not resist. What's more, he's just a madman now. ”

Calf strode forward. Eight tentacles spread out like spider legs, alternating to touch the ground, leaving a sticky trail on the ground.

"It's really a wise and wise choice, if you attack now, you will definitely be able to catch them off guard!" the Demon God's servant laughed in agreement, his body shaking with the flapping of his fins.

"My baby will hatch soon......"

Calf waved open the isolation door, sneered and cracked his mouth, revealing his shark-like overlapping teeth: "Match the chess pieces I laid out on the ground." Overthrowing this puppet kingdom is easy. ”

"But...... The group of people on the other side of the sea will definitely interfere, they are very strong. Even if you make a move, Lord Calf, I am afraid it will be difficult to match......" The Demon God's servant followed behind him, analyzing it in a tone of loyalty and loyalty.

"You don't have to be afraid. As long as I gain a firm foothold on the ground, all living life in this kingdom will become the nourishment of the descendants of the black goat. ”

Calf's figure gradually disappeared into the isolation door, merging with the darkness, and the cold voice fluctuated in the tunnel, slowly disappearing:

"Devouring them is enough to raise an army of tens of millions in a short time, and when the time comes, I will trigger the day of recovery, completely liberate the power of the Mother of Black Goats, echo with the gods of the extraterrestrial realm, and attack Atlasu at the same time. In this way, how can these idiots who are still fighting in the middle of death stop them?"

"It's Lord Calve, it's a wise strategy!" the Demon God's servant rarely stayed outside the isolation door, bowing his head and flattering from afar.

If the Chaos Gods had broken down Atlasu and turned this world into their paradise, wouldn't our wish to rebuild Hell have come to naught?O Lord Duriel, why would you help this madman who doesn't even care about the Mother World......

Under the white mask, the expressions of the demon god's servants gradually became solemn, revealing a nervous and uneasy expression.

......

Edinburgh, Royal Palace.

The golden morning sun casts the dazzling shadow of the palace arch on the earth, and from east to west the sky is painted a fading blue, and the stars gradually fade into the curtain white, and the palace forms a unique silhouette in the morning light.

"What? shadow creatures!"

Areley stood in the corridor outside the chamber, looking at Beverly in surprise.

"Yes, it's exactly a shadow, and it has consciousness and life, and it can split an object by destroying its shadow - whether it's a person or something else. The red-haired boy recounted with a serious face.

"I've seen something like that. ”

The black-haired knight recalled the first time he and Bruno met, and said with a slight distraction: "But that thing is not strong, and it doesn't have the ability to cut shadows and damage the body, but pretending to be a ghost is very skillful, and we were scared enough at the time." ”

"Maybe it's a different level. ”

Nicole grinned at Beverly, then at Arley, and said with a mocking expression, "Aren't you two both humans, and you're both knights, but they look completely different, just like two creatures." ”

“......”

The red-haired boy's expression darkened, and he was speechless.

"Alright. Now is not the time to talk about magical creatures, we'll talk about shadow creatures later,"

Yalei waved his hand. After recovering a bit of dignity for Beverly, he said seriously: "The pair of tomb robbers have been arrested yesterday, you must fight against time to deal with it, and there is probably not much time left for us." ”

"Understood, where are they?" the red-haired boy immediately snapped up.

"For the sake of safety, I placed them in the underground palace, and Pompey had already interrogated them overnight last night. If you need to, you can take him with you again. ”

The black-haired knight finished speaking and walked over to Nicole and Clark. He patted them on the shoulder: "Take care of their safety in Beverley for me." ”

"Don't worry. Both of them bowed their heads at the same time.

......

Royal palace, underground palace.

In the room where the father and son of the tomb robbers temporarily lived, the door was guarded by two pairs of guards soldiers. Pompey, Beverly, Nicole, and Clark sat across from them. A second round of cross-examination is being prepared.

"We say everything, we tell everything honestly. Old Hank glanced at the menacing four, and hurriedly showed the best attitude that a criminal should show.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Derek nodded vigorously, although he didn't sleep well last night, he felt the safest night in all this time.

"So now you confess that you have burglarized the cemetery of the Treves family and found evil spirits in the tomb. The evil spirit also took the life of your companion, Will. ”

Pompey and Beverly exchanged glances and began to cross-examine.

"That's it. The father and son of the tomb robber nodded at the same time.

"Then, you met Jeffrey, the head of the snake, and when he was smuggling you away, he suddenly turned into a monster and wanted to kill you, right? By the way, in fact, this person died three days ago, he should have been infected by a parasite and turned into a puppet of the owner of the tomb, and then he found you and prepared to kill him. ”

Pompey observed their expressions and continued:

"After you killed the monster together, Hank was parasitized by parasites, but happened to be captured by the black-faced spider and relied on the spider's venom to save his life. Then we were chased several times, and luckily managed to escape from the primeval forest and meet our border guards...... Eventually, the Harpy was brought back to Edinburgh. ”

"yes, that's pretty much it. ”

Old Hank looked scared, and said uneasily: "We didn't expect to release such a terrible monster, I'm really sorry, so many people were killed, and we didn't complain if it was a death sentence." ”

"You don't have to worry, you didn't unleash that monster. ”

The red-haired boy straightened his back, trying to make himself look serious, and said clearly:

"The recovery plan of the Black Goat Mother God has been going on very early, and it is impossible for that guy to become a human body of an evil god in a short period of time. So, you just happened to release something important to it, not the monster directly, so you were hunted down. Therefore, there is no sin, and if you seriously pursue it, you will still have some credit. ”

"Really?" the father and son of the tomb robbers looked hopeful.

"Yes, then...... Do you see what's in the tomb?" Beverly asked.

"No ......"

Old Hank shook his head in frustration, pointed to his cheap son and said:

"The boy was scared and didn't go in, and I just saw the coffin and thought something was wrong, and slipped away with Derek before the madman could open the lid of the coffin. ”

"In that case, the contents of the coffin seem to be important. The red-haired boy and Pompey looked at each other and jotted down the clue in their shorthand book.

"Also, Hank, you're saying you've been parasitized by parasites just by getting into Gereve's blood?" asked Pompey with a solemn expression as he looked at the old grave robber.

"Yes, those bugs are so powerful that they burrow into the skin in the blink of an eye, and they can move on their own, and they can actively avoid tools, and they can't pull them out at all. Old Hank touched his neck with palpitations, and his body began to fidget a little, with an unbearable expression.

"It's horrible. ”

When Nicole heard this, she couldn't help but interject.

"Ordinary people can't resist this kind of bug parasitism at all, if that guy hides in the shadows and releases parasites on a large scale, the entire Highland Kingdom will fall in a very short time and become a country where only monsters live. When Clark thought of this scene, his expression became more and more nervous, and he couldn't help but start shaking his legs.

"However, so far, we have not found a large-scale parasitic monster. ”

Beverly bit his lip and looked at the tomb robber father and son, "When you two approached Jeffrey, I mean, did he have any flaws before he revealed his prototype?"

"It doesn't look like it from the outside, but he has no bones, and his head can be turned behind his back unhindered. Derek replied in a hurry.

"The latent ability is also very high, but luckily there is a way to identify it. The red-haired boy wrote it down in his shorthand notebook again.

Bang!

Pompey suddenly snapped his head and stared at Hank with his eyes: "Based on what you said earlier, can I conclude that the evil spirit named Will is the one who saw the things in the coffin?"

"Yes, only he saw it!" said the old grave robber, reassuringly.

"It seems...... We've got to find the spirit. ”

The old man flipped through the record of last night's interrogation, pointed to one of the passages, and said, "You said last night that you had seen Will's evil spirit once, but it was blocked by Old Hank's holy weapon, right? ”

"Yes, that guy gave us nightmares for days, and if I hadn't happened to have a working artifact, I guess he would have killed him a long time ago. ”

Without waiting for everyone to ask further, Old Hank took the initiative to describe: "That guy is stripped of his skin, his muscles are exposed, and he looks very scary." ”

"Skinless spirits...... Sounds familiar. ”

Nicole lowered her head and muttered for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Didn't Goethe and Lolo encounter this type of evil spirit in the second assassination incident?"

"We've got to find this evil spirit. The red-haired boy closed his notebook and stood up from his seat: "It depends on the power of Dr. Fairy to catch evil spirits, and I will recruit them." ”

"Wait a minute!"

Pompey hurriedly got up and grabbed his shirt, and a smile appeared on his face: "There is no need to find Dr. Goblin, in terms of the ability to catch evil spirits, the Headless Horseman is much stronger than Dr. Goblin, after all, the uncrowned king of the undead, who is born to control evil spirits." ”

"You're right, I almost forgot!"

Beverley suddenly smiled, clapped his hands, and said, "I'm going to go to Bag and let her take care of it." ”

......

On the sea next to the coastline of the Highland Kingdom, the calm sea suddenly began to stir slightly, and not far from the shore, a flickering black shadow could be faintly seen, and a strange cooing sound came from the black shadow.

Everywhere the black shadow passed, a small wave mixed with a large number of fine tentacles boiled and boiled, gradually surging into a fierce surge, rising up the icy sea water and blood-colored floating shadows. (To be continued.) )
