The buildings standing by the river were hidden in the rain, leaving only vague outlines, turning into mirages in the rainy night.
Unlike the North Shore.
The sky above the ground on the south bank of Huadu Parrieux was densely covered with dark clouds. The layers gathered as if summoned, blocking out the last trace of silvery moonlight.
Strong winds roared with thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down, raindrops hitting the deserted cobblestone streets.
The sky was torn apart by ominous blood-red lightning, and streaks of lightning illuminated half of the sky, illuminating the Spilled Blood Cross on the top of the iron tower of the Church of Our Lady of Parrieux.
There was a deafening thunderbolt, and the earth trembled, and cracks spread like giant spider webs on the brick buildings.
The next second, countless humanoid black shadows broke out from the buildings in Huadu. Their bodies were twisted and distorted, half human and half beast, and they let out sharp howls mixed with giggles, and blood-thirsty madness beat in their blood-red eyes.
These irrational cursed mad demons ran like a tide in the heavy rain, smashed the glass windows of roadside shops, broke in, dragged frightened children out of their beds, and killed them amidst their cries. Gnaw and devour.
They wielded their sharp claws and slashed at the hurriedly fleeing men, women, and children. Their blood splashed in the rain, forming a smelly river of blood.
The screams came one after another, echoing in the thunder.
Thick smoke billowed from the fire amidst lightning and thunder, fighting against the heavy rain. The entire sky was shrouded in a strange orange-red halo, and gradually spread across the river to the north bank.
The once prosperous Crystal Orchid Street instantly turned into a hell on earth. Among the ruins, the crazy demons danced crazily among the corpses, fighting with the police officers and knights.
"The native demons in the northern and southern continents are so stupid that they even try to coexist with humans..."
The culprit of all this, the silver-haired figure holding the magic tool, was walking leisurely among the ruins and corpses, humming a tune.
His destination was the Senate.
Although the city defense barrier has been suppressing the large-scale outbreak of mad demons in the urban area, it is gradually beginning to be overloaded.
Even if he wants to take action now, he doesn't have to worry too much about the attack and suppression effects of large city defense facilities.
tonight.
The flower city will fall into darkness forever, and there will be no more dawn.
……
Poisson District 10, Banquet Hall of Lord Perlman Mansion.
Atio looked at the picture anxiously, but at this moment, just confronting Perlman's telekinesis made her feel extremely stressed.
She knows what the other party's purpose is.
As long as you grab the city defense center secret key from the mansions of the three elders of the Senate and take the three keys to the city defense center in South Bank Area 1, you can close the barrier!
By then, no one will be able to stand up to Perlman and the mysterious evil demon disguised as Edita.
Although the three dukes all have seventh-level guardians, the city defense barrier is now overloaded. The demons on the south coast seem to be very strong. It is not difficult to break through the guardians' defense and steal the secret key.
To make matters worse, Duke Tiffany's guardian Nigel isn't around at all.
It's even possible that Nigel defected.
"Etio, if you are willing to join us, I promise you will not harm Hyperion. If Ifatia returns by then, we will also hand over the throne directly to her, because I believe that you are here, We can coexist with her, but if you insist on being my enemy, then I can only say goodbye to you today with great regret."
Perlman looked at Atio and said.
"Perlman..."
Atio knew that Perlman's words were very seductive. He knew her too well and came here because of the obstacles where she might compromise.
But if she really agrees to Perlman, it would be tantamount to betraying Sister Ifatia!
Just when Atio was preparing for the worst, he fought to the death with Perlman.
Nigel was seen holding a short knife, with a faint red light on the dark blade, as if it had been charging for a long time.
Before Perlman could react, the blade was already whizzing towards him.
The direction of the chop was Perlman!
Etiou seized the opportunity, and icy blue lightning fell from the sky, almost freezing the earth.
"Oh? Nigel?"
Pearlman gently touched Nigel's dagger with his cane and said in surprise.
The ice thunder was also blocked by him easily raising his other hand.
Even fighting Nigel and Atio still seemed easy.
After he blocked Nigel's blade, the glass of the banquet hall behind him also shattered and fell like a rain curtain. Clear sections were cut out of the walls of the mansion and began to move and collapse.
Amidst the sound of collapse, heavy rain gradually fell from the sky, no longer blocked by the mansion, and hit Nigel's body, making his brown hair wet.
"Teacher, you have fallen."
Nigel said in a firm and hoarse voice, just like when he beheaded his adopted sister, he was also ready to kill his master at this moment.
"All I know is that that dangerous guy is a demon who cannot be friends."
He drew his sword and dived with a loud sound.
No matter how big the sin, he was ready to bear it, but he couldn't let the teacher make another mistake again.
"Don't you feel guilty about attacking your master?"
Perlman asked with a smile.
No matter how the rain fell, it could not get close to him.
He connected Nigel's sword with his cane, just like he practiced swordplay with Nigel many years ago.
"..."
Nigel stopped talking and focused on fighting.
"I'm relieved and sad."
Perlman shook his head in disappointment, his eyes becoming colder, and he was sure that no words could sway Nigel.
Followed by.
Nigel seemed to be under mental control, his movements directly transformed, and he headed towards Perlman's cane.
Upon seeing this, Aiteo wanted to apply an ice crystal shield to him.
"Do not bother me!"
Nigel roared, gritted his teeth and twisted his wrist with all his strength, and with the sound of bones shattering, he placed the dagger in front of him. With such majestic momentum, he actually used his flesh and blood to build a solid barrier for Etio. barrier.
Etiou understood this, and this time, an even more frightening cold air gathered around the ruins of the mansion.
The clouds were rolling, snowflakes were falling, and the entire Posen Demon Realm seemed to be involved in an unprecedented snowstorm.
Perlman was slightly surprised.
Countless ice picks were whizzing in from all directions, each one sharp and sharp. Pearlman's telekinesis was actually blocked by these ice picks that filled the sky.
The next second, the sky collapsed!
Countless strands of ice-blue lightning fell from the sky and intertwined with the ice cones on the ground to form a network, threatening to imprison Perlman in this ice and snow purgatory forever.
Nigel ignored the injury at all and stood in front. His short sword danced and turned into shadows of swords in the sky. In conjunction with the ice thunder from Aiteo behind him, the attack became more fierce.
In an instant, thoughts, ice crystals, and red shadows collided and intertwined in this dim rainy night!
Wherever this force passed, buildings collapsed and streets cracked. The entire center of District 10 seemed to be crumbling in this battle!
……
On top of a skyscraper several kilometers away from the center of the battlefield.
Thunder and lightning roared, and the wind howled.
Two figures stood there, holding their breath and looking at the earth-shattering scenery in the distance.
The night sky where heavy rain fell was dyed a strange purple-red color, like the last afterimage before the end.
In the center of the eighth-level battlefield, the 10th area of Posen Demon Realm was shrouded in a purgatory of ice and snow.
The city turned into a trembling earth in their confrontation.
Astros and Eureka, the lords of areas 7 and 8, were still hesitant and watched the battle from a distance on the Ferris wheel without joining the battlefield.
Even from such a long distance, they could clearly feel the terror of that power.
Every time the mind power collides with the ice thunder, a strong wind will be set off in the void, blowing the corners of their clothes loudly.
They felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the world was about to fall apart in the contest between the two eighth-level demons.
"Is this an eighth-level battle?"
Astros muttered to himself, his voice full of trance.
"Yes, this is the realm of gods. I can't imagine that if two beings at the top of the eighth level fight, the entire Posen Demon World will be wiped out in a short time..."
Eureka said shakily.
First of all, it would be difficult for them to escape from this kind of battlefield. Secondly, they were also very hesitant.
Perlman and Atio had different opinions. They originally wanted to support Perlman in rebuilding the glory of the demon clan.
But after what Nigel said, they also felt that the guy who was suspected of actively spreading the curse was very dangerous. If they surrendered to him, they didn't know where their fate would go.
"If all three secret keys in the hands of the three princes of the Senate are obtained, the city defense of Huadu Parrieux will also fall under Perlman's control, and then there will be no chance of fighting."
District 8 Lord Eureka analyzed.
"I'll listen to you."
Astros shook his head.
Now the entire southern district is full of crazy demons, and the city defense barrier has been overloaded.
However, the execution troops, the army, the police, etc. have been fighting against the crazy demons throughout Huadu.
If before the barrier is restored, the eighth-level demons on the South Bank get the secret key and go to the city defense center in South Bank 1 to tamper with the instructions, everything will be over.
Likewise, no one in the south can fight against the eighth-level demons now.
"The condition for Nigel and Atio to win is to defeat Lord Perlman and the mysterious demons at the same time before the fall of Huadu."
Eureka continued to speak in a deep voice.
The battle to defend Huadu City, which is comparable to the eighth-level shadow world, has begun.
