usurping the throne

It was late at night in the main city, and most of the ordinary residents had already fallen asleep.Only the city lord's private soldiers are still patrolling the city wall.

Outside the city, where the flames of the city wall couldn't reach, a few people with a strong dark atmosphere and the appearance of a necromancer gathered together.

"Have you calmed down the little ones behind?" An old voice asked.

"It's all appeased, I don't know what's wrong, this year's beast tide will be so much earlier." Another woman in black, whose whole body was hidden in a wide robe, muttered.

"Haha." The old voice smiled. "The advance of the beast tide is nothing more than the fact that the magic energy from the crack overflows earlier than before. But according to the previous speed, it should not be so much earlier, unless..."

"Unless what?" Someone asked eagerly.

"Unless the key is nearby." The old man continued. "Only when the key is near here can the demonic energy be so active. And this side is just a secondary opening, and there is only so much demonic energy overflowing. I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable at the elf forest?"

The woman's voice cheered up a lot: "You mean, the key we haven't been able to find for so many years is near here?"

The old man nodded: "It should be, just this morning, I felt someone passing by above the forest. big."

The woman said: "The old man, can you find the key? I'll go into the city and tie him up!"

The old man shook his head: "Stupid! Since that person can fly above the dark forest, how can you kidnap him with this hand? This time the beast swarm is bigger than before. As long as we add more Fire, the monsters will definitely be able to break through this city wall. When the time comes, there will be chaos in the city, you go to control the monsters, and others will take advantage of the chaos to grab the key!"

The woman pulled out her pure black hair from the wide hood, wrapped it around her fingers and played with it. "What you said makes sense, then do what you said, old man." The woman raised her head, revealing her beautiful cheeks under the faint moonlight.She took a deep breath, "Demonic energy, so comfortable magical energy. I haven't felt so comfortable in such a long time."

The old man nodded, and then said to the hoods behind him, "You all cheer up. The key was finally delivered to the door by yourself, but you can't let it go away. I thought it was going to be slow with the devil's energy, and one day I will be able to Breaking through this seal, I didn't expect the key to come. Hahahaha, as expected, Master Pu Shangshen of Sang is also helping us!"

A few hooded men behind the old man nodded and answered in a low voice.

None of the guards on the city wall noticed these people hiding in the darkness, and these people hiding in the darkness also didn't notice that not far from them, a huge bone snake was hovering on the branch .

Looking at all of Levant's younger brothers, the bone dragon is the most attractive, and the ugly fish is the most convenient to summon.But only the Bone Snake is the easiest to lurk, the most convenient to hide in the darkness of the night silently and inquire about news.

After late at night, I bid farewell to the boss and returned to the room, feeling wet and uncomfortable, and the dark elements around him were always entangled.He was thinking about the time his boss said was eight/nine years ago, and all the things that had happened since he was reborn.

Levant didn't want to rest at all, so he simply let the bone snake out and wanted the bone snake to go deep into the dark forest to see what happened in that forest.

Unexpectedly, before the bone snake sent out arrived at the destination, it found the clue first.

From the perspective of the bone snake, Levant determined that these people had strong dark elements, and they were definitely necromancers.But the strange thing is that these people didn't respond to the bone snake, which also belonged to the undead system, and the "magic energy" they said made Levent even more curious.

'Magic Qi' can easily remind people of 'Devil King'.

But among all the records in this world, there are humans, elves, dwarves, dragons, goblins, orcs, and mermen.It just so happens that there is no such thing as a 'demon race'.Is it an omission recorded in the literature, or is there a mistake in the expression of this group of 'necromancers'?

Levant frowned and thought deeply, his eyes swept to the dark elements around him, and after a careful look, he actually found a slight difference among these dark elements.

He picked up the Tai Chi Diagram, trying to absorb the dark elements around him.However, the absorbed dark elements were not incorporated into the base map of the Tai Chi Diagram, but suspended outside the entire Tai Chi Diagram.That is, it is not absorbed by the shadow side, nor is it integrated with natural elements.

Is this what they call 'magic energy'?Levant looked at these elements carefully, and found that they were much more active than normal dark elements, and they condensed faster, and the effect after condensing was more outstanding than dark elements.The text of the ruins was recalled by Levant.

【Sealed in the seal is the Extreme Demon King】

What if this sentence does not mean that this person is extremely vicious, but that this seal is really a real 'demon'?

But what is the 'magic'?Why is there no document record, but there is a seal about it on the mainland?

Levant controlled the bone snake, followed their leaving footsteps, and slid quietly among the grass to follow.

But this time it wasn't as easy as it started.After only a short distance, he was discovered.The woman walking in the front suddenly turned around and rushed towards the bone snake at a high speed.

Levant didn't really want to scare the snake, so he controlled the bone snake to leave quickly.

The woman chased for a while, seeing that the thing following them was not slow to leave, she knew that chasing was in vain, so she voluntarily gave up and went back to find the old man. "Old man, can you feel what that is?"

The old man: "There are dark elements and the aura of undead. It should be some kind of necromancer. Just now the aura of undead was mixed with demonic energy, and it was not very active, so I didn't distinguish it for a while."

"Then he won't be bad?"

The old man: "Probably not. Necromancers are usually alone, and they don't have the thought to save anyone. It stands to reason that the more people die, the happier they are. Just pay attention to it for a while. Probably It’s just that I sensed the demonic energy, and confused curiosity with taking a look.”

The woman was a little unhappy: "Let's let it go first. Hey, when will I be tall these days, I haven't taken a bath for a long time. My skin is not good."

The old man: "Taking advantage of this beast tide, go catch a few 'fat sheep' by the way, and you can also take them back and soak them in blood."

Woman: "This was originally a hunting ground. If 'that person' hadn't been sealed suddenly and caught us off guard, why would we go to so much trouble now?"

The old man: "That person died a long time ago, and the seal he left will soon be broken. So what if he once sealed the passage? Sooner or later, the hunting ground will still have to return to us."

"That's true." The woman smiled. "If you really find the key this time, the day of returning to the hunting ground will be even earlier..." After saying this, the woman shook her body in dissatisfaction, "Hey, this skin is really in the way, I took it off."

After finishing speaking, the woman reached into the hooded robe, put her hands into her chest, and pulled her delicate fingers.

A piece of human skin was completely torn apart by those hands.

Under the human skin, after continuous swelling and deformation, the heaviest beautiful woman turned into a spider-like monster.The spider is about two or three meters high, and its head is elongated suddenly, protruding out in the shape of a head.It's just that the top of the head is not the normal facial features, but a round mouth with sharp teeth. The mouth has three layers, the outermost one is the largest, and each layer inward is smaller than the outer layer, but there are more sharp teeth, and the arrangement is also different. more dense.Above the mouth are three pairs of compound eyes.Above the compound eyes are densely packed vesicles.

The spider's mouth opened and closed, and it was still the woman's voice, "Are you still coming as planned?"

The old man: "Come according to the original plan. Tonight, when the night is darkest, start the beast tide. You mix with the monsters, put out all the fire on the city wall, and all those who guard the fire will belong to you."

"That's good." The woman smiled, "Even if you can't take a bath, it's good to have a full meal. As long as the damn seal is not broken for a day, I can only be suppressed in the false sanctuary, and I am so aggrieved. Let me vent today. .”

The old man: "Be careful in everything. If you encounter that necromancer getting in the way again, just kill him."

Woman: "Don't worry."

----

On the other side, Levant called the bone snake back, but he still felt that there was something in his heart that made him unable to let go.Going to have a look at the city wall.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Levant Yujian flew directly under the city wall.

Facing the city wall on the side of the dark forest, the dark atmosphere was hundreds of times stronger than when they came during the day.

If you release your consciousness, you can easily see that countless large beasts are about to move at the edge of the dark forest.

The beast tide has really come.It's just that they were suppressed by those people of unknown origin.

Since they suppressed it, it must be to drive out the monsters in one go when there are more monsters in the forest, forming an unprecedentedly huge wave of beasts.

Now the number of monsters in the dark forest has reached a certain extreme.It shouldn't take long, maybe in the second half of the night, the beast horde will break out in an all-round way.

Levant withdrew his consciousness, turned around and summoned the flying sword, stepped on the flying sword and flew in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

City Lord Sterling has been preparing for the beast horde for the past few days. He just fell asleep when the window of his room was opened suddenly.

A cool wind blows from outside.Sterling opened his eyes and saw a man with raised eyebrows and a smile on top of the window frame of his room.

"Who!! Come here!!"

Levant raised his sword and threw a few small flames to set the city lord's room on fire. He waited for the noisy guards to rush in before jumping off the window.

"I'm Levant."

This self-introduction is only five words, but it is enough.

No one on the road today does not know Levant's name.

Only this name represents everything!

The city lord's eyes widened suddenly, and his lips trembled in disbelief: "You...you were also hired to deal with the beast tide?"

"That's not true." Levant doesn't like to open his breath to scare people, and has been restraining the breath of his sanctuary. From outsiders, he looks harmless to humans and animals.What's more, after being promoted, even though he was unwilling, but washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow again made him look extremely beautiful.It's the face of a national idol.Levant's portrait has been spread all over the mainland. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he used special methods to adjust his and Sam's faces along the way, but this time he informed the city lord that Levant had , intentionally unoccluded.

After the city lord took a closer look at the person's face, the city lord's youthful face flushed, and he deeply felt that it was extremely rude to see this extremely perfect person with his own appearance.At a loss, he wrapped the entire quilt around his body, and then felt that something was wrong, so he threw away the quilt, and hurriedly picked up the clothes around him and put them on his body.

Although the city owner is located in a remote place, he has already received the portrait.

At the beginning, just a portrait of Levant was enough to make all the noble ladies snap up and fall into an inextricable obsession.

But now, after seeing him, the city lord has to admit that the portrait that all the noble ladies scramble for and fall in love with is not even one-thousandth of this person himself!

God!The city lord was short of breath, dragging his clothes with both hands, and speaking even less fluently: "Huan... welcome!"

This face of Levant was mostly used when facing Sam and the others. After the fusion period, except for the one time he showed his face when he went to the Holy See, he never faced other people with this face at other times.So up to now, I haven't had much self-knowledge about my appearance. Looking at the excited look of the city lord, I thought it was just because the city lord was excited to see the legendary master.I didn't mind, and continued, "I came to this city for other reasons, but tonight, I came here to tell you that the beast tide is likely to break out tonight."
