The Shadow Residents of the Royal Capital are not to mention their response to the Nezumi Hunt Act, which is being read out on the streets of the capital as a large number of heralds with the King's seal are being sent to various parts of the Blue Lion, including the army that has gone to the aid of the molten iron. Of course, due to the problem of transportation and distance, the time of receipt of this bill varies from place to place, and not all local lords who received the bill immediately issued it.

Among them, the more prominent ones should be Marcus and Andre, the former is currently in the main business of uniting the connections between various towns, plus the Hand of the King has faintly smelled something wrong from the king's series of actions, and now I think about this inexplicable appointment is quite a bit of a lonely meaning, Marcus is even more sluggish and realizes that there is another hidden reason for the introduction of the bill. The Grand Duke of Hammer was much more direct, the dwarf tore up this bill with his own hands in front of his army and the people, and his behavior made the Iron Knight who came with reinforcements quite helpless.

But that's a story for later, and back to the current outside of Vale, the mutants among the nezumi have no way of knowing about this decree that is full of malice towards them. Even if they knew, they would probably be powerless, because their situation at this time was far more dangerous than being attacked by their former compatriots. Most of the mutants were used as nourishment for summoning demons, and there were less than thirty of them, imprisoned by Kuyla in the deepest part of the valley's beneath, with a large number of giant ants guarding them.

And Gloria, as the most special of all the nezumi, has received special care from the witch. The lord's daughter was treated as some kind of ornament, hung from a cobwebbed on the wall opposite Kuira's throne, and endured the latter's endless torture and humiliation.

The sound of a heavy object smashing bones echoed through the room, and Gloria lowered her head so that she didn't have to look at the bloody scene. On the floor of the room, one of the witch's pets, Davy the Black Scorpion, was tearing a sturdy nezumi into pieces bit by bit before devouring it. Kouira looked at the scene in front of her with interest, leaning back in her seat lazily, and there was no sign of the white spider beside her.

The violent shaking reached the ground, but not a single speck of dust fell from the cobweb-reinforced room. The witch snorted and looked satisfied. "Do you feel it, my Highness, demons are running rampant in your city right now. ”

Gloria gritted her teeth, her eyes were no longer full of tears, and her eyes, which were already red, were now even more frighteningly red. "You're not going to make it, Mr. Cheese is coming! You don't know who you're fighting against!"

Intimidation, only in exchange for a disdainful sneer. Kuyla crossed her legs and toyed with her long black and white hair with her fingers, "I don't know where your confidence in those grey robes comes from. Is it blind worship, or have you seen some of them, secrets. But it doesn't matter, I admit that as a spellcaster, those two grey robes are very good, and each of them has a chance to defeat me in a head-on battle. But my dear, you obviously know too little about our world. ”

"The thing above us now, he's a true Abyss Lord. One hundred and forty-four is indeed not a special place in the abyss, but as a lord, Mr. Erdo, let's call him sir, he has some abilities that are different from ordinary demons. For example, as a ruler, he can project the part of the abyss under his jurisdiction into this world. Your wizard has missed the best opportunity to defeat him, and now every minute he grows stronger. "Maybe it's too boring, the witch is happy to talk to this captive of hers, she will be killed in the end anyway, and it doesn't matter if you talk more about the dead now.

"More, stronger?" Gloria didn't understand the other party's words, what projection, the concept of the abyss and the like was too unreal for the poor girl.

Kuyla apparently noticed this, and she smiled and beckoned, and a smaller white spider crawled through the shadow of the webs to her hand. The witch mercilessly stabbed the spider in the abdomen with her hand, and pulled out a mirror from inside. The spider with its cracked abdomen soon died, but more of its kind crawled and dragged its body away, and one of the white spiders brought the mirror in the witch's hand to Gloria.

"Look at it, you'll understand when you see it. ”

The smooth mirror reflected a faint yellow glow in the firelight, and as the gaze of the lord's daughter fell on it, a blurred reflection began to appear in the otherwise empty place. As the reflections became clearer, Gloria quickly recognized that it was the above-ground part of Vale, and as a member of the Ssalonian family, she had known the city's architecture since she was a child. Now, however, the sight in the mirror made her unwilling to admit it.

What a sight it was, the stone pavement was dotted with pools of lava, large and small, from which intense black smoke gushed out, mixed with dust and splashes of molten lava. Wooden houses are almost always on fire, and even if they are not in direct contact with lava, the temperature in the city has reached the standard of spontaneous combustion. Even many of the stone bricks showed signs of redness and softening, and this is a human city built on the river, and it is clear that it is a volcanic crater that is about to erupt.

If only the environment was bad, what really suffocated Gloria was the figures that passed through the smoke from time to time, with twisted limbs, red skin, and most of them horns. Demons, no knowledge is required, ordinary people can recognize these monsters at a glance. One by one, they emerged from the boiling lava, some with a little lava hanging from their bodies. The demons didn't care about this hostile environment, and of course, knowing that the sight in the abyss would only make it harder to survive.

"It's just low-level demons, but they're enough of them to be a headache. Not to mention two wizards with a few mortals who are not afraid of death, even if the entire army faces them, there is still no chance of victory. If you understand, give up your hopeless hope, no one can save you. The witch's words pierced Gloria's heart with coldness, and the lord's daughter, who had been trying to break free from the spider silk, suddenly collapsed like a toy without electricity, she didn't know who could break through such a desperate situation.

The scene in the mirror is constantly changing, and the city is reduced to purgatory from the air. Gradually, the scenery shifted from the inner city to the outer city, which was in slightly better condition, but there were still traces of demons everywhere in sight. The scene then shifts to the city wall, which is the south part of the valley city, and the lava has not yet broken through this artificial barrier, but it is only a matter of time before it is thought to be. Once the walls fall and the demons are no longer in their cages, the damage they cause may still be on top of the nezumi.

Just as Gloria was about to close her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a hook lock that landed on a corner of the wall......
