Chapter 675

Even though the translucent spacial gap reduced the light, the brilliance that felt like a rising sun still made Malfurion, Lankshear and the other unprepared elves, nymphs and humans close their eyes to resist the glare . Even so, they still felt that they were faced with an overwhelming, dazzling ocean of light!

When the light was gradually gone, Lankshear and Selinda opened their eyes and looked at the Scarlet Plain, only to discover that a weird mushroom cloud was rising from the center . The demon experts at the core had already been obliterated . The edge of the giant pit looked like melted and reconsolidated glass, which reflected the bloody sunlight and presented a spectrum of colors .

As for the demon army further away, no intact body could be found at all . Broken limbs, heads and wings were everywhere, irrigating the earth with their red and green blood and spreading out a weird, bloody sense of beauty, as if a gigantic crimson flower was blooming .

The demons further away were already dispersed . Some had turned into dead bodies, and some were writhing on the ground with their eyes covered . The scales on their bodies had been destroyed . No naturally-endowed defense could be found anymore, either .

Because it was a plain where many frail rocks were standing, the tide-like army of demons were dried like a torrent whose source was cut off under the attack of ‘Eternal Blaze’ .

As for the demons at the edge that were not harmed at all, because Lucien’s attack had been aimed at the experts who led the army, they were frightened and fled in a flurry now that their commanders were gone . After only one minute, nothing could be heard from the Scarlet Plain except moans, and not a single demon was standing .

What was even more weird was that the air that was full of curses seemed to have been purged after the explosion of ‘Eternal Blaze’ . It became very pure and not corrosive at all .

At this moment, the Scarlet Plain had been temporarily upgraded from a chaotic, bloody, stinky abyss into a clean and tidy paradise on earth – that is, not counting the blood and bodies all over the ground .

The Sovereign of Blood, master of this layer of abyss, showed no reaction to that, nor did he stop the fleeing demons . In his silence, the overwhelming attack stopped .

The translucent space gap quaked under the terrifying energy storm, significantly weakening the seal . It was a shame that no demons dared to seize the opportunity before Malfurion and the other druids enhanced it again .

Inside Town of the Anonymous…

Mason was discussing things with Fred worriedly, when he heard the cries of demons . He frowned, “Demons are attacking again . They are truly slaves to the desire of slaughter . ”

“It’s said that there are 666 floors in the abyss, but nobody has ever confirmed it . Infinite demons live inside . The losses in the daily attack are not a big deal for the Demon Lords . ” Fred had a deeper understanding about the population of demons recently .

Demons were creatures that were chaotic in nature and could not control their bloodthirst, but they also preferred living to death . If they were not coerced by the senior-rank demons, they certainly wouldn’t have attacked every day, particularly when their invasions suffered heavy losses each time .

Mason was about to complain about such a life, when an unimaginable explosion broke out and deafened the two radiant knights briefly .

They looked at the abyssal gap subconsciously, only to be dazzled by the brightest brilliance as if the sun in the sky had burst out right before them!

The two of them shut their eyes abruptly, their tears dropping nonstop . They could barely keep their feet steady .

“What extraordinary ability is this?” Mason blurted out after he stabilized himself, but his exclamation of shock was drowned in the explosion .

In the meantime, he found that his skin was vaguely burnt and got even more shocked . The explosion took place on the Scarlet Plain, but the temperature had been spread to this place from so far away with an abyssal gap in between?

How powerful would it be on the site?

After a moment, thanks to the radiant knights’ exceptional recovery abilities, Mason’s eyes were back to normal, and the feeling of earthquake was also gone .

Weird blue scales grew out of the corner of his eyes, and his pupils were constricted and pricked, before he looked at the abyssal gap again, only to discover a mushroom cloud with a particularly huge head .

Mason felt shock from the bottom of his heart when he remembered his experiences just now .

“…The beauty of destruction…” Fred’s cigar had already hit the ground when he appreciated the picture far away in admiration .

Mason was back to himself . “Mushroom cloud… Eternal Blaze? The reinforcements of the Congress of Magic have come?”

During the battle between the Congress of Magic and the South Church, ‘Eternal Blaze’ was performed in front of the whole Rentato city . It was so terrifyingly powerful that the leadership of all countries paid attention to it . Also, according to what the Congress of Magic revealed to the nobles of those countries in private, the power of such a spell did not have an upper bound…

As radiant knights, Mason and Fred were undoubtedly the leadership of Colette . The mushroom cloud described in the intelligence had left a deep impression on them .

“Has the Emperor of Arcana, the Lord of Storm, or the Lord of Elements come?” Fred speculated, before he said in relief, “It seems that we can get out of here now…”

Yes, now that the reinforcements are here, the elves wouldn’t need to worry about the sea clans possible attacks .

Mason seemed also pacified . He looked at the town and said in a low voice, “I do not want to spend one second longer in this place, or I may lose control of myself…”

After that, the two of them looked at the hazy, bloody plateau behind the gap, before they remarked at the same time, “What a horrifying spell…”

……

“The army of demons has retreated . We can now discuss and examine the abyssal gap . ” Lucien said, with his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted suit .

Observing the silent reaction of Lankshear, Selinda and the other elves, Natasha chuckled to herself and said in the telepathic bond . “Well done!”

She liked the feeling of intimidating everything with pure strength . After watching ‘Eternal Blaze’ destroy the army of demons, her blood was boiling, and she almost couldn’t stop herself from chasing after the demons .

Moving his eyes back, Malfurion said in a low voice, “I was the supervisor in this place when the abyssal gap had changed . Everything was normal until dawn, when I suddenly sensed the arrival of chaos and slaughter from the abyss as well as a space-time change . By the time I realized what was going on, I discovered that the gap, which had been ten meters long and two meters wide previously, had been stretched to thirty meters long and almost four meters tall . It was almost a natural portal…”

He introduced what happened at that time with the actual situation of the gap, trying to inform Lucien and Atlant of every detail so that they could ascertain the cause with their special knowledge .

After hearing him out, Lucien and Atlant did not offer any comment but began to examine the gap with spells . It was not until a long time later that they finally asked, “Elder Malfurion, did the arrival of abyss and the space-time change happen simultaneously, or did they happen one after the other?”

Recalling it carefully, Malfurion replied, “I think they happened simultaneously, but after two seconds, the space-time change overpowered the air of abyss . By the time I was back to myself, the air of abyss intensified and covered all the other changes . ”

Lucien and Atlant asked a few critical questions, and Malfurion, Lodell and Selinda answered them dutifully . Their description was the same . None of them seemed to be lying .

“Evans, do you have any conclusion?” Asked Malfurion concernedly .

Lucien nodded . “It looks like integration of space . Near a space gap, when the environmental parameters of the space on two sides become similar, the space will gradually melt, resulting in the expansion of the gap . If we don’t stop it, the assimilation of the abyss will result in shocks in this world . The volcano eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes will destroy most lives and most places .

Lucien and Atlant reached the conclusion based on a similar case in the Magic Empire, but nobody knew whether or not the space could be truly melted . Lucien could not offer any detailed arcana theories until he knew more about the truth of the world .

“Similar environmental parameters?” Asked Malfurion in confusion . “But I didn’t feel that the territory around Town of the Anonymous changed towards the abyss at all…”

Lankshear squinted . “Perhaps, it was a scheme…”

“Why did it happen on this side instead of on the Scarlet Plain?” Natasha reminded them .

Malfurion frowned . “Were the demons patient enough to establish a gargantuan magic circle or resort to other complicated approaches?”

It was well-acknowledged that demons were as intelligent as human beings . They had tried to conspire like devils, but they were chaotic in nature and would often forget the very plan they came up with last second . So, they tended to take random actions .

“It’s not entirely impossible . Two of the Demon Lords are less chaotic . One of them is Apsis, the Lord of Spectres on ‘Skeleton Land’, and the other is Gonheim in ‘Frozen Fortress’ . They are both more like devils than demons . ” Atlant corrected Malfurion . Both of them were level-three Demon Lords, who were equal to top legends in their domain .

“Do we have to investigate inside the abyss?” Asked Lodell worriedly . “Also, the problem may be on our side . ”

Atlant looked at the town below and discovered that the elves had already blocked it . So, he asked, “Are you suspicious that something is wrong with those adventurers? Or are you worried that they will expose the intelligence?”

Malfurion explained . “It was Ferragond who proposed it at the beginning to prevent the sea clans from learning the news and keep the possible schemers here . We will continue the blockage and identify them one after another . ”

“I can help you with that . ” Said Atlant with a smile .

Lankshear and Selinda did not suspect that . The Eye of Curse was definitely the authority in that .

Hearing their conversation, Lucien nodded, “We do need a legend to stay here . Natasha and I will pay a visit to the abyss . ”

Naturally, not all the legends should enter the abyss . It would be troublesome if the sorcerers in Nature’s Residence were left alone and the believers of Nature’s Abhorrence went mad .

“You’re going into the abyss?” Malfurion was concerned .

Lucien smiled . “The Will of Abyss is still recovering from the heavy wounds caused by God’s Arrival . It’s hardly likely that he will attack directly . Even if he is insane enough to do so, now that he is not as strong as before, we can always flee if we cannot defeat him, can’t we? The other Demon Lords are the same . I won’t be silly enough to be surrounded by them . ”

That was the confidence of a grand arcanist, like how Fernando believed that he could escape from the pope as long as he could not perform God’s Arrival .

Malfurion was still worried . “I’ll go with you . ”
