Perlman sounded as if the life-or-death struggle was just a joke.
No matter how hard Nigel tried, Perlman was still the same as playing games with him many years ago. At this moment, they were like father and son, just father and son saying goodbye.
A flash of farewell flashed in his eyes, and he reached into his arms and took out a pitch-black crystal stone as big as a fingernail.
The incomplete black block exudes a strange light, with a curse flowing on its surface.
Nigel's eyes widened because he had recognized that this crystal stone had the same origin as the curse [Parroni's Resentment] and had traces of artificial modification!
It may be a fragment of "Parroni's Grudge", which was seized by Perlman and the curse spreaders from the researchers of the institute, so that they can analyze the curse magic and use it directly On other demons.
The reason why the Curse Walker can have the identity of a researcher who has infiltrated the research institute tonight is because they have already investigated and controlled an important researcher, interrogated him for information, switched the case, and seized his identity.
By the time Nigel came to his senses, a sharp pain had already spread from his chest.
Looking down, Perlman did not kill this thick-skinned warrior, but instead stabbed the black crystal into his chest!
"Perlman, you...you actually..."
Atio, who was about to save Nigel, suddenly stopped and looked in disbelief at Perlman, who was murdering Nigel.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Nigel roared in pain, his whole body shaking violently.
A stream of black air spurted out from where the crystal was inserted, spreading on his skin and wrapping around his body like a poisonous snake.
The whites of his eyes quickly began to turn gray and black, and his pupils gradually lost their luster, becoming hollow and blood-red.
Nigel's fingers and toes gradually extended and turned into sharp claws. In the blink of an eye, Nigel had completely lost his humanoid features and transformed into a violent and violent mad cursed demon with gray-black skin.
Nigel, who was directly affected by the fragments of "Parroni's Grudge", became even more mad than other mad and cursed demons, causing his aura to directly reach the most dangerous level in the seventh level.
What's even more terrifying is that in the eyes of this berserk demon, there is no longer a trace of hidden gentleness, only bloodthirsty red light.
The frenzied Nigel let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves stirred up a fishy wind that made Etienne feel palpitations.
Perlman nodded with satisfaction.
"Well my proud boy, Nigel, go and avenge your sister from humanity."
He looked at the crazy Nigel and spoke softly, as if calling an obedient servant.
"Go ahead and tear apart that demon who wants to protect humans. Let me see your love for your sister."
Crazy Nigel said nothing, but the red light in its eyes became more intense.
"Kill...kill..."
Its eyes were locked on Etiou not far away, and its body gradually lowered itself, assuming a standard posture before hunting.
"No, Nigel, wake up, you are more determined than anyone else! You can't fall at this time!"
Etiou couldn't believe that the ferocious demon in front of him was his best friend who fought alongside him a second ago, and shouted to him.
Since the mad Nigel can be controlled by Perlman, it means that Nigel's madness is different from ordinary cursed demons. Perhaps it is a special madness that has been improved and researched through the fragments of "Parroni's Grudge". !
"No...stop me..."
As if his brain was in severe pain, Crazy Nigel covered his head and struggled for a moment. After two seconds, he let out a mournful roar again, and his body rushed towards Etio like a cannonball, his sharp claws pressing towards her throat. .
Atio, who was about to start a one-on-two fight, felt an unprecedented sense of despair.
She tried her best, but still couldn't shake Perlman in the slightest.
Previously, Atio felt that she could still resist Perlman with Nigel's help, but now it would take a lot of effort from her to deal with a crazy Nigel alone.
Even Nigel has become her enemy, and the situation has reached an irreversible point.
In this desperate moment, all Atio could think of was praying.
Pray to the gods, even pray to the ancestors of the demons, pray for someone to stop this overly powerful enemy!
Ice-blue lightning burst out from her body, turning into a cage to restrain the mad Nigel.
Perlman, however, did not stand idly by.
He originally wanted to kill Etiou earlier.
Since the key to Duke Tiffany's city defense was not in Nigel's possession, it must have been entrusted to someone else by Nigel.
Presumably, Perlman could guess who it was.
It was nothing more than Rocky McCarthy who was brought to the banquet by Nigel.
Some time ago, Beelzebub said that Rocky McCarthy was the one who could break the curse when he was fishing in the Posen Demon World. In other words, Beelzebub set up a trap in Area 7 of the Posen Demon Realm that day because he wanted to He wanted to find the mysterious being who helped Nigel break the curse, but in the end he was not sure whether he could kill the two of them at the same time to prevent any one of them from running back to Parrieux, so he chose to be on the safe side and not show up.
Nigel must have trusted Rocky a lot, so he brought him here and entrusted the key to Rocky.
Perlman controlled invisible telekinesis, fatally restricting Atio's movements at every step.
Under this double pressure, Atio felt that he would be fatally injured and defeated at any time.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her brain, her face became paler, and her breathing became rapid and heavy.
Before Etiou could defend herself against Perlman's mental attack, the thunder cage she had set up to restrict Nigel's madness was dispelled by Perlman's telekinesis. She had just blocked Nigel's sharp claws.
"ended."
Pearlman said softly.
He raised his cane, and the invisible power of thought at the point was like a heavy sword that was about to penetrate Etiou's body completely.
The suffering citizens on the south bank of Huadu were also praying for dawn. Listening to the horrifying wailing in their ears, and looking at the battlefield scenes captured by the demon reporters from a distance, the sudden turn of events made them tremble even more.
Once Atio is defeated, everything will come to an end!
They couldn't imagine what kind of massacre and disaster the devil-like Perlman would cause once he came to the South Bank!
In the blurry and shaky picture, even if I zoomed in and out desperately, Etiou still seemed like a small dot in the storm.
Just when Atio felt that he could no longer resist Perlman's terrifying magic power.
I saw an invisible arrow suddenly falling from the sky.
The rain dispersed and fell next to Etiou like a stream of green air.
The arrows burst out with a dazzling halo of the Age of Gods, lighting up the dim battlefield like the first ray of dawn!
The surging wind suddenly burst out from the point where the arrow hit, like an awakening beast, roaring and sweeping across the entire battlefield.
This is not an ordinary air flow, but the wind of the Gods containing ancient divine power!
Wherever it goes, the air becomes fresh and full of life.
What's even more amazing is that the brilliance is like the rising sun at dawn, shining brightly through the heavy rain in the dark night.
It is pure, bright, holy and flawless. Any ordinary creature who witnesses this light will involuntarily have the urge to worship!
As the arrow disappeared, the wind and light intertwined to form an airtight barrier, firmly protecting Etiou within it.
The barrier seemed to be made of crystal, light and elegant, constantly glowing.
What's even more amazing is that when the heavy rain hits this barrier, no raindrops can fall on Etiou.
Even Pearlman's decisive blow seemed to hit an invisible high wall, causing the surrounding rain to scatter in all directions, causing ripples on the surface of the barrier, but it was still unable to shake this layer of defense.
In front of this barrier of intertwined scenery, any force appears to be extremely insignificant, and even a slight ripple will not be stirred up. The barrier stands tall and will never be shaken.
This kind of defense can only make Pearlman and Atio think of "absolute immunity."
Perlman's face darkened instantly.
Even without looking in the direction of the wind arrow, as an experienced eighth-level strongman, he also knew what the glory of the Gods symbolized and who held it.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the distant sky.
On the top of a skyscraper a thousand meters away, a figure stood impressively. The rain curtain around him seemed to have locked up the world, and the bright moon behind him seemed to be cut open by dark clouds.
The man was wearing a pitch-black priest's robe, with golden lines like a river drawn on it. His short light brown hair was slightly blowing in the wind, but it did not impair his demeanor in the slightest.
But his eyes, those two deep and clear blue lakes, shone with compassion, making all living beings tremble no matter how far apart they were.
The heavy rain and the roaring thunder were all isolated by invisible forces. Everything within a three-meter radius around him became quiet and peaceful.
No need to ask any questions, all the demons who saw his figure knew that this was the strong man who had just come to help!
In his eyes, this earth-shattering eighth-level battle seemed to be nothing more than a small farce in the world.
But there is no doubt that it was the power of the wind god in his hand that saved Atio at the critical moment.
"Great Priest Loren..."
Facing such a human being who could be called the strongest, Pearlman felt fearful for the first time.
He realized that this battle might not be as easy to end as imagined.
Under the protection of the scenery barrier, Atio was finally able to breathe.
She raised her head and stared blankly at the mysterious figure.
The victory or defeat of Huadu Parrieu at this moment will all depend on that person's thoughts.
Whether it's Perlman, the lord of District 10, or the mysterious demon who spreads the curse on the south bank, they are no match for Loren!
The balance of victory and defeat trembles subtly in the dim light and strong wind...
"Why do you appear here..."
Perlman stared at the figure on the tall building in the distance, his originally dull eyes now becoming extremely solemn.
The most respected noble priest in the Hutton Kingdom has become even more famous and unstoppable in recent times.
It seems to be shrouded in imperial aura.
……
At this moment, several kilometers away.
The demon reporters hiding in the dark couldn't believe their eyes.
When they saw the figure clearly, the photography magic equipment in their hands almost fell out.
"Loren!!"
Although it was far away on a rainy night and it was difficult to see the more distant places clearly, the brilliance of the Gods of the wind slate should be correct!
This news was like a thunder, instantly exploding among the viewers who could watch the scene in Nan'an.
