Archmage Harper stood at the edge of the square and nodded slightly.

He stepped forward, and Surdak hurriedly followed from behind.

Stepping into the square, Surdak found himself in a completely enclosed space, the magic cover was completely invisible from the outside, it was like air, but it was there.

Walking into the square, Surdak immediately felt that the air was filled with a rich black aura.

The rune metal plates on the stone floor of the square were also running non-stop, and the four elements of wind, fire, earth, and water were constantly being absorbed by the magic pattern array, and they were rushing towards the altar along the sixteen silver chains, and standing in the square, they could see that there was an elemental cage on the altar.

Archmage Harper explained to Surdak as he walked:

"We didn't expect the situation in Acre Town to be so bad, the magicians in charge of reconnaissance came here and found that the dark mages of the Hermitage not only opened a demon door here, but also built an altar of life here with the flesh and blood of thousands of people in the town, If it weren't for this emergency, we wouldn't have mobilized three swordsmen overnight, and dispatched all the magicians from Ruit City to break directly into the depths of the plateau, and captured this Acre Town in one fell swoop regardless of the cost."

Surdak thought to himself: to get Archmage Harper to tell him that regardless of the cost, the Magic Guild probably spent a lot of money.

His gaze looked at the sixteen silver chains engraved with demonic patterns around the altar, each of which was almost the thickness of a forearm and about a hundred meters long, even if these chains were only plated with a layer of silver, they should be very valuable!

Surdak walked a few quick steps, followed, and asked Archmage Harper curiously, "Archmage Harper, what is the purpose of this altar of life?" ”

Archmage Harper deliberately didn't say anything, pointed to it and said, "Wouldn't you go up with me and have a look?" Morrison is up there too! ”

With that, Archmage Harper quickened his pace.

Surdak turned around and motioned for Gulit and Samira to wait outside, while he hurriedly followed.

The two magicians didn't follow either.

"The further you go inside, the stronger the demonic aura will become, but I'm sure these black demonic aura won't affect you." Saying that, Archmage Harper not only held up a magic shield for himself, but also held up a translucent magic shield for Surdak.

Surdak had long felt the black demonic energy in the square, and the power of the holy light in the nodes in his body was constantly running, not only did his body reject these black demonic qi, but the holy light emitted from his body could even purify these black demonic qi.

He wasn't affected at all.

Stepping on the altar made of corpses, although the steps were covered with a thick blanket, still made Surdak feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially when the heads of so many corpses are exposed, and their faces still retain the painful look they had before they died.

Only thirteen. Steps, Surdak felt like he had walked all day, and the hardships he had experienced came to his mind one by one.

He lowered his head, not letting the complicated expression on his face show, as Archmage Harper ascended the altar.

Above the altar was a ground made of countless corpses, and the blood-colored circle painted on it had been destroyed, and Surdak's heavy mood standing on the altar was slightly lightened.

In the center of the circle, sixteen silver chains wrapped around a bloody body.

It was a body in black armor.

Or it could be said that the armor originally grew from that body, there was no head, and the bloody neck seemed to be dripping with blood.

Arms and Pairs. His legs had been severed, and all his limbs were not on the altar, except for his bloody body, which was wrapped in chains.

But Surdak had a gut feeling that the body was supposed to be alive.

In addition to having normal breathing, there is also a normal heartbeat.

Archmage Morrison and four other archmages stood in the five corners of the altar, their feet flashed with magical glow, and the magic power transmitted by the sixteen chains formed a huge birdcage, and there should be a forbidden circle under their feet, each holding a high-grade magic crystal in their hands, and it could be seen that their spirits were a little tired.

The body in the center of the circle began to gush outward, and the blood continued to pour out with the sound of a 'bang-bang' heartbeat.

"When our detective came to Acretown, he found the body on the altar, but he was still sucking the ......blood of the people below the altar like a dried corpse," Archmage Harper said to Surdak.

Surdak felt that his heartbeat was actually similar to that of this demon body......

"This is the body of a high-level demon demon king."

Archmage Harper then introduced Surdak.

"The biggest flaw of the Demon Gate created by the Black Magic Hermitage Society is that it will be subject to the power of the laws of the plane world, and only low-level demons can pass through the Demon Gate created by them, and you probably have also seen that under normal circumstances, low-level demons can't stop the iron cavalry of our Grimm Empire at all!"

Archmage Harper continued.

Surdak's body exuded a stream of holy light, resisting the invasion of black demonic energy.

"The solution they came up with this time is to kill a demon king with the ability to resurrect."

The 'they' in Harper's mouth are dark magicians.

"Then decompose the body into six pieces, and after turning it into a dry corpse, you can minimize your vitality, and then hide it in the belly of the low-level demons, take it to the ganbu plane, and then invade a town, build a life altar with the flesh and blood of the entire town, and then let the decomposed body of the demon king restore its original strength, and the demon body that has restored its original strength can be 'resurrected' in the ganbu plane."

"Actually, their plan has been successful."

"It turned out to work, but they were a little too impatient."

Archmage Harper asked Surdak, "Remember the magic guild they slaughtered in Mukuso City?" ”

"Hmm!" Surdak.

Archmage Harper explained, "Actually, that head is the head of the Demon King. ”

"That head was originally on the side of Acre Town, and it was completely restored with the power of the altar, probably because it didn't want to wait, so it chose to enslave the body of a human warrior and break into the magic union of Mukuso City alone."

"In fact, he did it, and almost all the magicians died at his hands."

"In the end, he even broke into the showroom on the top floor, and someone detonated the magic array in the showroom, this magic storm not only destroyed his enslaved body, but also locked the head of the demon king in the space that was about to collapse."

"So much so that this torso has never found a suitable head, so it can only stay on this altar and continue to nourish until the mage we sent here discovers him!"

"Do you want to know where Quintas and Chester have gone?" Archmage Harper asked,

Surdak struggled to digest this information, and said casually: "I heard that I went to the Great Snow Mountain!" ”

"That's right, they're just looking for his limbs." Archmage Harper said, "Originally, we had guessed that one of the limbs might be in Samptown, but we were wrong. ”

Surdak knew that Archmage Harper had brought him here definitely not to stand here and listen to the story.

So he asked Archmage Harper directly, "Archmage Harper, what do you need me to do?" ”

Harper Archmage said: "The Demon King has the power of the sixth-level Demonic Beast peak, even if it is a remnant, the power we have can only seal it at the magic level, but it can't hurt him at all, you can also see that it takes five second-turn archmages to control the magic circle day and night, even so, he can even absorb the power of magic to strengthen himself." ”

"But the power of your holy light is different, the holy light is like a deadly poison to demons, and we intend to use your power of holy light to suppress him and complete the final seal."

After Archmage Harper finished speaking, he took out a very high-level magic sealing box from his magic waist bag, and then patted it vigorously and said:

"This high-level demon sealing box has a space magic circle in it, as long as we can put this body into the magic sealing box, we will have a way to complete the sealing of it!"

Surdak said with some surprise:

"You're going to ...... Put it in a magic box? ”

Archmage Harper nodded and said, "Exactly. ”

"Do it now?" Surdak touched the broadsword at his waist and asked.

Archmage Harper put the sealing box back into his magic waist bag and said, "Let's go, of course this kind of thing is sooner rather than later!" ”

Surdak made up his mind and courageously walked side by side with Archmage Harper towards the center of the circle.

It's just that with every step he takes, he feels the heartbeat of the body in the center of the circle accelerate, and his own heartbeat is also accelerating, as if something is longing for him to walk over quickly.

He turned to Archmage Harper and whispered, "Archmage Harper, do you feel the call of that body?" ”

Archmage Harper was slightly stunned, and then said, "It may be that the power of the Holy Light in your body has felt it!" ”

Surdak closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and mobilized more of the power of holy light in his body, the broadsword in his hand was like a glowing spar, although Archmage Harper didn't tell him how to suppress the power of the demon body, but Surdak felt that it was the most direct to poke a few blood holes in its body.

Thinking of this, his steps became more determined.

He walked towards the center of the altar step by step......
