Chapter 601 Rumors of 597 Demons

Chapter 601 597. Rumors of the Devil

A strange rumor suddenly spread among the adventurers of the Kingdom of Yas.

In a wild forest bordering the current Earldom of Reid, an extremely terrifying monster appeared. It had a thousand pairs of eyes and a thousand tentacles. Its body was like a slowly flowing mass of rotten mud, or a huge spherical floating object that was constantly spewing black mist. It had no fixed shape and was changing every minute and every second.

No one knew what it was or where it came from. They only knew that it suddenly began to wander in the dense forest. Wherever it went, twisted shadows loomed and dull low hums echoed continuously, which was chilling.

Many magicians sneered at this rumor. They thought it was another story made up by a sensational bard and adventurer after getting drunk.

But soon, the movements of the National Knights of the Kingdom of Yas made those who originally disapproved of it smell something strange. This group of elite troops, who were ready to go, rushed to the vicinity of the incident area without stopping after the civil war just ended. Not only that, the most elite magicians from the kingdom were also invited to go.

At the same time, a heavy news hit the heads of those who were waiting to eat melons.

Not long ago, the descendants of Earl Reid and a large number of servants went into the dense forest to hunt. There, they encountered the monster in the legend. Except for Earl Reid's eldest son who escaped by chance under the protection of the servants, the rest of them disappeared.

A thousand pairs of eyes and a thousand tentacles came from the mouth of this surviving descendant.

It has been confirmed that Earl Reid's eldest son is conscious and can fully and clearly retell what happened that day. Except for occasional incoherent descriptions due to excessive shock, there are no mistakes before and after.

The sixth-rank great magician of Earl Reid's family disappeared silently in the accident. The eldest son said that the old man, who had just been promoted, lost his ability to resist when he looked into the dense eyes of the monster in the dark. He murmured and laughed wildly, allowing countless tentacles to lift him up high and suddenly drag him into the darkness.

The overly absurd description made every listener's scalp numb. They couldn't believe that a magician who had already stood at the top in Yas would make such an abnormal move when facing a monster attack, and even died.

Not only did they not believe it, but many members of the Knights and royal magicians who came to the border of Earl Reid also didn't believe it. In their opinion, this was a premeditated assassination. The old noble forces that were defeated in the civil war were secretly making trouble. They must be dug out and punished!

After obtaining direct permission, they immediately began to search the area led by the sixth-rank magician.

Led by Earl Reid's eldest son, they came to the area where the incident occurred, where they felt a weak remnant of magic.

"There are two possibilities. The other party solved all the problems without relying on too much magic power. The other is that the other party's magic power utilization rate has reached a level that we can't imagine..."

The conclusion drawn by the royal magicians made the surrounding temperature drop a few degrees. In the howling cold wind, they only felt that their noses were too cold to bear.

If it is the former, how perfect must the body of a monster that can kill a sixth-level magician without using magic power be?

If it is the latter...his magic use may completely surpass everyone present.

The search is still going on, and soon they have a new discovery.

"Teacher, there seems to be someone over there."

After making sure that it was not an active messenger of the Knights, they approached cautiously, and the vague human figure soon stunned everyone.

The servant with the emblem of the Reid family on his clothes moved like a stiff puppet, limping. He was covered with blood holes and had no vitality, but he was moving forward aimlessly.

Facing countless arrows aimed at him, the servant stopped. His head suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound, and after the sound of broken bones, it began to spin like a gyroscope. Finally, his empty eyes turned like a turntable pointer to a fifth-level magician in the team.

"Quick, stop him!"

The moment the order came out, the servant, who was already a corpse, landed on his limbs, used his hands and feet, and swung his head like a spider, which might fall to the ground at any time, and ran straight to the fifth-level magician who was in sight with him.

Neither magic nor arrows could stop it from biting off the throat of the magician. The moment blood overflowed his cheeks, both bodies stopped moving at the same time.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" A magician couldn't help cursing as he watched his companion die miserably, "What on earth is this!"

Just as he was about to curse a few more times to ease his inner fear, with a "puff", the servant's back cracked, and black tentacles swarmed out of it. This dead corpse seemed to have transformed into an unknown door, and a strange life was coming through its body.

Before the magic volley was completed, the monster had already broken out of the body. The moment the jellyfish-like monster with dark purple light appeared, the surroundings darkened visibly, as if some invisible force blocked the light. Gradually, it was the only thing left in everyone's vision, and the companions who were close at hand could not see it either.

Fortunately, the sound could still be transmitted, which prevented the situation from becoming further chaotic. Countless magic powers were poured into the air. Even so, the giant jellyfish still used its soft "cloth" to take away the soul of a poor magician before disappearing. It greeted its own death in a half-kneeling posture, with fear in its eyes.

At the same time, people searching in other directions also encountered strange attacks one after another.

Some people were suddenly hugged by the ankles by arms stretched out from the shadows, and then the shadows rose up, causing their heads to fly into the air with blood.

Some people suddenly disappeared while walking, and when they reappeared, they were already skeletons wearing armor, and their bodies were covered with morning glories.

Others seemed to be invaded by evil spirits, a twisted and squirming soul was changing every moment, but the strange phantom could cause damage to the entity. It turned into a headless werewolf, a mutilated goblin, and a huge eyeball, with different attack methods, making the surrounding magicians unable to resist. If it hadn't moved slowly, I'm afraid they would have suffered heavy casualties.

The leading magician finally couldn't hold back, and kept encountering enemies. Several magicians died miserably, and the enemies that appeared were completely beyond his understanding. Looking at the trembling eldest son of Reid beside him, he keenly realized something.

Grabbing the eldest son of Reid, regardless of the fact that he was a noble, the royal magician asked sternly: "What else did you see at that time? Tell me!"

"No...no, I've said everything I can say!"

The evasive look of the eldest son of Reid and his obviously timid voice made everyone more certain that he was hiding something. As early as when they asked before, they found that Reid described all the details clearly, but he was hesitant about how he encountered the monster, as if he was thinking.

"You still don't know what happened, right? This is a monster we have never heard of, and there is more than one kind." The royal magician said angrily, "I don't think that this place, which was originally quiet and peaceful, will suddenly become their paradise. There must be some reason for this."

Seeing that the eldest son of Reid was still hesitating, the group of royal magicians were no longer polite. They took the eldest son of Reid to the vicinity of the constantly changing phantom. At this time, the phantom was indiscriminately attacking everything around it, and from time to time it made a creepy scream. It hardly maintained a stable form for a moment, like chaos itself.

Getting closer and closer!

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do to me!"

Finding that he was likely to get close to the phantom, the eldest son of Reid finally got anxious. He shouted, but this shouting attracted the phantom that originally had its back to him.

Seeing that the phantom was about to turn around and come towards him, he hurriedly shouted: "It's not our fault, it was just an accident, it was really an accident!"

"What happened!"

"Sacrifice, we broke into a strange sacrifice, maybe... maybe, interrupted them, angered them, anyway, it was an accident!"

Seeing that the eldest son of Reid gave in, but kept emphasizing "accident", the royal magician hurriedly evacuated. At this moment, the phantom roared towards him, with a terrifying momentum.

They didn't ask again until they reached the safe area: "What are they?"

"The monsters called black slime worms by adventurers. We wanted to find their nest, catch them all, and take away their slime balls, but in the cave, they no longer huddled together, but separated into separate individuals, surrounding a strange huge magic circle."

"I saw them using their broken bodies as sacrifices. Every time a sacrifice was offered, the magic circle became brighter... At first we didn't care about the weird and messy symbols and the strange magic circle, but took out the scroll to dry their bodies so as to take away the spoils, but the magic circle suddenly burst into a dazzling light."

"All the slime worms were crawling on the ground, as if they were welcoming some supreme existence..."

At this point, the eldest son of Reid shuddered violently.

"I heard countless voices, echoing in the dark void. It was a language and text that I could not understand. It made each of us feel irritated, and then... Then there was the monster. It was as terrifying as I described. At first I thought it was an illusion, but now..."

The royal magicians wanted to tear the eldest son of Reid to pieces. He dared to conceal such important information!

There is no doubt that the eldest son of Reid had realized that his interference had caused extremely terrible consequences when he escaped, but he still had a fluke, thinking that the other party was just so-so. As long as there were people and more powerful magicians took action, everything would be fine.

"That was a ritual. What exactly did they summon?"

"Can the product of the summoning ritual continue to exist and affect the surroundings for such a long time?"

"We know nothing about summoning, don't we?"

"Wrong magic may lead to a completely unknown field of knowledge. No one knows what changes have occurred in the ritual due to interference."

The darkness came silently, and no magician at the scene knew when they began to be shrouded in endless black fog.

Everyone who reacted realized that the "unknown existence" was approaching them. Each of them had a strong sense of being watched, as if being scanned back and forth by a pair of eyes, and there was no privacy on their bodies.

In the black fog, a huge coal-like floating object with countless tentacles shaking slowly entered everyone's field of vision. It just floated quietly, and the black fog on its surface seemed to be the source of the surrounding darkness.

They did not see the monster's thousand tentacles, but they did feel like a prey being targeted by a predator. In the darkness, it seemed that countless eyes really locked on their every move.

"Do it!"

Strike first, face this unknown monster, only by taking the initiative can there be a glimmer of hope.

The sound of waves swept around, and just as they were wondering why they could hear the sound of the tide here, their thoughts suddenly became extremely heavy, as if they had fallen into a deep dream.

Lu Yu looked at all the people who were trapped in Sayer's spiritual magic, thinking about how to release some survivors to spread this terror, but his eyes touched a woman in the Royal Magician team.

Lulu felt very familiar, and after a long time, she reminded Lu Yu.

Sayer listened to the unconscious mumbling of this group of people who were trapped in the hallucination, showing a disgusted expression-even in the hallucination, these people are first-class insects, and the Royal Magician is really not a good thing no matter where.

If Lu Yu hadn't ordered it first, he would have turned on the elimination mode for all members.

"Let two-thirds go. I need enough people to testify what happened here." Lu Yu named the woman in the team, "Don't kill the wrong one, leave her here."

Sayer tapped his forehead lightly, and after a ripple of spiritual magic spread, he turned and sank into the darkness created by Lu Yu, disdaining to watch the death of these people.

Lu Yu and Sayer left the scene, and the survivors who lost consciousness for a moment woke up in the darkness. Seeing the miserable bodies of their companions on the ground, they trembled and fear quickly filled their hearts.

They ran away without organization.

Among them was the woman named by Lu Yu, Alan.

When they first arrived in Yas, this personal magician of Yas III left a good impression on Lu Yu and Lulu. As time went by, Yas's long civil war and the natural disaster of the magic tide also promoted her to the sixth level. In this area that is very barren compared to Mela, this is already a top magician.

However, compared to Lu Yu who was nothing at the beginning, she is now just a pawn in the story she manipulates.

"As the emperor's personal magician, what she said must have a great impact on the thoughts of Yas III himself."

"Go, spread the story here, fear the vortex worms, fear all the unknown things hidden in the dark."
