now.
The researchers at the institute also seemed to feel something was wrong.
A researcher who suddenly comes at an inappropriate time is like being dropped.
Logically speaking, the existence of their institute should not be exposed, and no researcher should be caught.
There are researchers who want to sound the alarm immediately.
It's a pity it's too late.
The mysterious figure didn't need to make any movement, he just chuckled, and a strange dark blue flame suddenly rose from the shadow under his feet, flying out as if it were alive. The tongue of fire hovered in the air, and instantly engulfed the frightened researcher. them.
When the dark blue flames extinguished, the researchers were reduced to charred remains.
And the figure with terrifying magic power turned back into a mysterious man wearing a gray cloak.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt meat and sulfur, and the ground was burned to cracks.
The killing has just begun.
The mysterious man stepped forward, walking rampant among charred corpses, splashing blood and sirens, and the entire institute was transformed into a living hell in the sea of fire.
Nigel's eyes widened as he looked at the scene in the banquet hall.
Although he didn't know that there was such an underground research institute on the south bank of Parrieu, the other party's skillful disguise and stealth only made him vaguely think of a dangerous existence he had fought against.
Until the dark blue cursed flame appeared, he finally determined that the other party was the culprit who spread the curse in Huadu Parrie recently!
Tonight, when the other party took advantage of his arrival in the Posen Demon Realm, not only did they not plan to attack him at the banquet, but instead sneaked into the Huadu area and even the south bank where the Senate was located.
Nigel didn't stop for a moment and wanted to break out of the banquet hall.
However, just as he was about to leave, he felt his feet being restrained by a huge force.
He raised his head.
He saw himself locked in Perlman's gaze.
Perlman's wordless silence seemed to want Nigel to watch it all.
"..."
Nigel was originally ready to hold the short knife on the inside of his coat, but finally reluctantly put it down.
In other words, even if we rush back to the south bank now, it's too late.
The scene continues.
The mysterious figure in a gray cloak dragged the body of a senior researcher and walked indifferently through this museum-like purgatory. Along the way, there were internal organs floating in glass jars, and there were still living bodies in the life-support capsules.
Go straight to the deepest part of the institute.
A thick forbidden door, the forbidden magic steel is covered with sealing spells.
This time.
He lifted up the broken body of the research director, aimed its eyes at the scanning magic device, and inserted the key on the research director's body into the groove beside the door.
Several restricted doors twisted open.
The space inside this secret room is completely different from the outside world.
The frost-covered dark walls swallowed up most of the light and echo, and not even a breath could be found.
There was only the oppressive silence and the bottomless blackness.
In the center of the room, several pillars of forbidden magic steel extended upward, connected to chains. The runes on the steel pillars shone with faint red light spots in the darkness.
At the end of the chain, a mechanical book as black as ink was wrapped in layers.
Just by looking at it, one can be sure that it is a book-shaped magic weapon, a taboo object that can overturn the common sense of the world.
Several layers of enchantments circulate around the book, disappearing and appearing.
The mysterious figure approached the magic book and summoned the dark blue flame again. The iron chain broke and the barrier was shattered inch by inch.
As the fire went out, he slowly stretched out his hand and took out the incomplete dangerous magic weapon.
"..."
Under the hood of the cloak, the corners of the mysterious figure's mouth were slightly raised.
He knew how to use this magic device very well. Even though the corners of the book were missing a few pieces like a broken Rubik's Cube, they gradually came back to life in his hands.
The book was pitch black all over, so dark that it swallowed up all the light. It seemed as if it was condensed from the darkness in an endless abyss, yet it looked like a living thing.
After the book cover is opened, it turns into a door leading to an unknown realm. Dense alchemical lines snake around on the cover, as if it will fly away from the cover at the next moment and turn into a terrifying monster.
The spine of the huge book is inlaid with dark red eyes, which are constantly rotating up and down, dark and dull, like a few grains of solidified blood.
[Parroni's Resentment]
[Category: Magic Device]
[Grade: Red Legend (Damaged)]
[Attribute: Curse/Enhancement]
[Level: 8]
[Effect: Under the premise of knowing the true name and understanding the contract structure, a curse can be given to the demon holding the contract. Under great mental pressure, the cursed demon has a probability of entering a super mad state that burns life. Because The magic guide is damaged, its effect is unstable and cannot be directed to cast spells. 】
[Note: There is no forgiveness and no relief. My hatred and anger are burning in hell. One day, they will break out of hell and incinerate the world, incinerate this dirty world, and exterminate this fallen race. 】
At this moment, before the scene could change again, panicked screams erupted in the banquet hall of Pearlman's mansion.
"Is the legend of the great wizard Parroni true?"
"The Senate did not destroy this book, but hid it for research? What on earth do they want to do? Completely enslave us!"
"Then the reason why the curse cannot be eradicated in the past hundred years is that the culprit is the greedy humans in the Senate?!"
Regarding this magic weapon and the story of the great wizard Parroni, the demons who have lived in the Posen Demon Realm for a long time are deeply afraid.
Even Nigel's pupils were staring at the screen and trembling.
"how is this possible?"
There were still some demons who were more friendly to humans who questioned, their eyes full of disbelief.
"That's exactly what's happening right now."
Perlman's tone was calm, as if he was stating a simple fact.
He tapped the ground again with his stick.
The glass curtain wall outside the mansion and the public giant screen in the city were also uniformly screened. The night screens in the entire 10th area of the Posen Demon Realm all projected such absurd scenes at the same time, informing all residents of the Demon Realm.
"The research institute secretly recruited by the Senate a hundred years ago has been studying the remaining components of [Parroni's Grudge], and has assembled and repaired it into a gradually controllable state, but the curse it exudes It also pollutes this land all year round.”
Perlman's thin lips pursed slightly, with a meaningful mockery at the corner of his mouth.
"I once naively thought that humans and demons could coexist harmoniously. I kept pursuing it and compromising for it. The dream that was about to be realized over the years also blinded me like a bubble. Until it completely shattered, I am finally convinced that humans are stupid and despicable creatures. Once their desires begin to ferment, they can never stop. For this, they can become something more terrifying than demons. The price I paid, looking back today. , I don’t regret it, because it made me see a lot of things clearly.”
There was helplessness, regret, and indescribable anger in his voice.
Looking at the surprised faces of the guests present, Perlman had a cold smile at the end of his eyes.
"The shadow of Posen has shrouded our heads, and this dance will probably end here."
The guests in the audience looked flustered and their faces were ashen, and the originally lively and joyful dance became solemn and depressing.
But I don’t know what to do.
When they looked at Perlman again, the faces of the demons were full of pleading, hoping that he could give him a solution.
But he just looked around, still looking calm and composed. Under the magic screen, a dark and unclear expression appeared on his handsome face.
"This is the crime of the Senate. I am gathering everyone here today because I want everyone to see the truth! There is no need for us demons to live under the protection of this group of humans anymore."
Perlman's rhythm seemed to arouse emotions, making the eyes of the demons present filled with angry flames.
"Today I want to introduce to you the true king of our demon clan."
He waved his cane and pointed at the screen in the banquet hall.
only saw.
The cloaked figure holding the book took off her hood, her silver hair falling, and she looked back slightly, allowing people to see her reddish-brown eyes.
There was an evil smile on her lips.
And this face once again triggered exclamations in the banquet hall.
because.
This demon clan is very famous in their Posen Kingdom.
There is a painting collected in Platinumson Palace, which is based on her——
"sleeping Beauty"!
"She is the last royal family of the orthodox demon world, the Great Demon Clan Ifatia! She will lead us to restore the country in Posen! We are witnesses of human sins, they are betrayers, we are the betrayed, and cannot be forgiven. There is no forgiveness, only revenge!”
Perlman raised his hands high, and his resolute and inspiring voice was like steel pouring into the hearts of the demons, directing great anger and leading them to victory.
Even Talia in Lanci's spiritual world became restless.
Because the face of the demon holding the cursed magic book in the picture is exactly the Duchess in the portrait of Huberli's family, and she is also the most precious sister in her memory!
"No, this is not my sister, it is the spreader of the curse disguised as her!"
Thalia yelled anxiously in Lanci's heart.
"Calm down Thalia, if you want to show up, you can only fight for three minutes at most."
Lanqi spoke to Talia in the spiritual world in a steady voice.
Now we must first observe the situation, and if we rashly attempt to forcibly subdue the opponent, our chances of winning are very low.
Even if the two of them were to take action tonight, they still had to consider how to do the most and complete the decisive mission within the limited fighting time.
After hearing Lan Qi's words, Talia thought for a moment and gradually calmed down.
Now thinking about the whole story, they also figured out one thing.
Mr. Perlman and the curse spreaders are in the same group.
