Arthur furrowed his brow, looking at Curtis lying on the bed, his body now enveloped by dark, twisted tendrils. These tendrils clung to his body, resembling venomous snakes slithering over him. As if hearing the door open, the cracks on his face twitched slightly, as if peering towards Arthur and Case.A raspy, almost inaudible voice echoed, akin to the desperate cry of some lost spirit: "Flesh... Flesh... I want your flesh, Asta. Give me your flesh..."With those words, his colossal body began to twitch. He reached down to the floor, seemingly exerting minimal effort, yet the ground trembled as if it might collapse at any moment. Curtis opened his mouth wide, and from within, a black liquid oozed out, which seeped onto the floor and began to corrode it slowly. The corrosion was sluggish, but it made a hissing sound, sending shivers down one's spine.Arthur furrowed his brow and spoke solemnly, "He's completely lost his consciousness. Right now, he's nothing more than a mindless
The blood drop from Arthur landed on Curtis's face simultaneously, and flames rushed towards him like a wild beast. Curtis widened his eyes and let out a thunderous cry."Crash!"It was the sound of a shattered glass door. Arthur furrowed his brow, and a gust of wind blew through the broken glass, sending the curtains billowing. They suddenly contorted and then flowed down into a pool of black water, disappearing in an instant."We're a bit late," came Ethan's voice.Beside him was another magician, his face concealed, but Arthur could feel the energy swirling around him.It was none other than Nill, the magician who had been hiding for a long time. But now, he was different; the darkness surrounding him was thicker and more powerful. It was clear that he had grown stronger. Nill spat, growling, "It's all because of the protective enchantment around the mansion. It's incredibly difficult to dispel."Ethan watched Curtis writhing in agony with the strange white and slightly red f
Outside, as soon as Case's command echoed, the others quickly ran to evacuate the servants in the castle. Michael was left behind, momentarily bewildered. He turned to look at the door, from the inside of which came the sounds of fierce fighting.At this very moment, a black arrow suddenly pierced through the door and melted into water. A sizzling sound echoed, and the door immediately corroded. Michael muttered, "..."He decided to follow Case's subordinates, as Arthur would surely want him to do the same. The servants were quickly loaded onto vehicles and taken out of the estate. At the same time, the sky was filled with black crows. The crows cawed loudly and then flew towards them. Their claws and beaks were extremely sharp, and a slight scratch would make a fresh blood spurt. Furthermore, the scratches they caused even began to turn black, transmitting a lingering pain. Michael's hands were scratched in several places in just an instant, causing excruciating pain. He co
Two cars raced through the night.Arthur's car led the way, with Michael as the driver.Seeing Arthur's troubled expression, Michael smiled a bit and said, "Did you and General Case witness our intense battle down below?"Arthur couldn't help but sneer, his eyes sharp as a knife. "Of course, we saw it. I'm just curious where you got that gun of yours."Michael could sense that Arthur's mood was not good, and he knew that if he said something wrong at this moment, he might lose his head.He still wanted to keep his own life, so he stuck to the principle of speaking as little as possible.He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Can we talk about this when we return?"Arthur's face remained cold, and he didn't say anything more. However, his bad mood was not because of Michael but because of something else.On the phone, Lily had mentioned that Lucia and Emma were in danger. This was extremely difficult to explain. Lucia's villa was secluded with excellent security, and Lily was not ordinar
Even though Arthur remained silent, General Case could still sense something, and with Arthur's calm demeanor, he felt a deep respect for him.He nodded and said, "Not many are returning to the city of Eldora with me, and most of them are young soldiers, fearing that they may not be able to deal with a demon."In the end, he had never expected a demon to be awakened in the city of Eldora. Moreover, the demon was a dark and powerful creature. Although the awakening process was genuinely challenging, the demon's strength was undeniable.Demons were born with darkness and malevolence within humans, and as long as humanity existed, demons would never die. Furthermore, they would grow stronger with the world's fluctuations.However, Case was not daunted by this.He reached behind and drew his sword from invisible space. The massive sword stopped in front of him, and he said in a low voice, "But with just you and me, we can deal with that demon."At most, they would die, but Case had ne
Based on Arthur's intel, Lance quickly arrived at the battlefield.This place was an empty land on the outskirts with few people venturing there.At the present moment, even fewer people come here, as the government had planned this area for a special research facility.Most notably, the strange events happening here were a significant reason people stayed away.Considering the current situation, it was an advantage for their battle, and if regular people appeared in the fight, things would become even more complicated.For instance, right now...Lance looked at Emma and Lucia, who were tied to tall posts.Each post was over four meters tall, and the two were tied to different posts, suspended in mid-air, with no way to escape.Both of their faces were filled with fear. Lucia was holding up better, while Emma was openly crying, tears streaming down her face.In the end, she was just a young girl.Lance stealthily entered the boundaries of this empty land.He noticed many people dresse
Asta's situation isn't any better than Ethan's. He was not originally a mage but merely a devout follower granted the ability to borrow the power of the dark spirits. He can control low-level dark creatures, like black crows, for example. However, these black crows couldn't be of any use at the moment since, as soon as they cried out, Skyler exhaled a mist that had a subtle green tint. These crows instantly froze, falling to the ground and unable to move. Asta also noticed that the bodies of these crows seemed to become desiccated as if all their energy had been drained.On their faces, there was an extreme alertness. Arthur's cats were indeed too peculiar! Moreover, Ethan was also mistaken; whose pet cats look like this? This was a group of monsters!Lumie, who was some distance away, had also noticed this. She furrowed her brow, and even though she could be called a dark spirit, she was just an embodiment of a dark spirit, a source of energy with the mission of awakening he
Lumie was trapped between the car and the tree, her eyes wide, mouth agape, in constant pain, and perhaps she never expected to find herself in this situation.She could only gasp for breath, and then her entire body dissolved into black mist, quickly vanishing from the vicinity of the car. At the same time, the car's door opened.Arthur slowly descended from the car, his expression icy as he looked towards the high platform, and then he glanced at Lance with a hint of complexity in his gaze.He walked towards Lance.The back seat also opened at this moment, and Case slowly got out.His face was clearly still calm and composed, but if you looked closely, you could see his hand behind his back trembling slightly.Michael, on the other hand, was in worse shape.As soon as he got out of the car, he collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength.Then he suddenly struggled to his feet, ran to a nearby tree, and the next moment, the sound of vomiting echoed.The Thlu creatures: "
