The atmosphere was inexplicably pushed to a climax in strange places.
"Is this nothing?"
Winnie stared up at the sky, forgetting to add a mocking tone. Nese didn't fight back. They all raised their heads, staring at the huge black lines that were spreading in the sky - it seemed to appear completely out of thin air, right above them.
The sky opened with deep wounds. No. Maybe it was just steady dendrite lightning - although this spectacle was just a mysterious celestial phenomenon that the demi-Vitans vaguely told in legends, and no one could confirm it, but who had seen the scene before them?
After a second, the answer seemed obvious:
The lines on the sky curtain not only crawled vertically, but also expanded horizontally. The original branch-like structure widened in a moment, like a giant poisonous scorpion hanging high in the sky. The inside of the scorpion's body began to turn out deep red and bright orange. , dark green, ominous light. Thick black smoke poured out from the gap in the light.
A crack leading to the outer universe brought tremors and horror.
"Oh my God."
Nesse heard the goblin on the left mutter something - if there were no subjective consciousness blockage and free movement constraints, this guy would probably have been running and screaming in piss.
Now all the two goblins can do is look up at the sky, like two potatoes ready to sprout. "Can only I see it, or can everyone see it?" the goblin on the right said in a demented tone.
"I can see it, but what is it?" said the goblin on the left. As if in response to his question, the ground shook violently, and the aftermath made the poultry house behind him creak and shake. The chickens, ducks and geese locked inside were like a handful of dried peas in a shaking tin can, making a crazy noise.
A large amount of black smoke fell into the courtyard.
Nesse finally reacted—and for some reason, he was more shocked than the other guys present.
"Walk."
He said to Winnie, grab her. Neither action is necessary. The half-elf has a keen sense of crisis and has already made his own plans to move away from the development of the crack. Black smoke descended on them. He grabbed her and ran, shoulders bumping together. Four seconds later, they were quickly entering the nearest stone house, almost shutting out the two goblins.
They leaned against the copper-clad door panels, panting—more out of emotion than physical strength. The air is filled with the smell of ash. The temperature seemed to get hotter in just ten seconds. Winnie wiped sweat with one hand.
"This matter cannot have nothing to do with you." The human prince's matter was forgotten, the sarcasm and joking were also interrupted, the half-elf turned his face and said seriously.
Obviously, she felt that the situation in front of her was unusual, but she didn't know what was happening yet.
No one knew right away. Except maybe him. "I hope it's just about me." Nesse replied, opening the door a crack.

He and Winnie each put an eye on it, and the goblin imitated their actions, pressing their pointed little faces against the crack of the door.
"Oh. My toes feel so wet. I must have peed my pants." After a while, a goblin said.
"I peed my pants," another goblin babbled.
"it's me!"
"it's me!"
The goblin quarrels are hilarious. Normally, they would laugh out loud. None of them smiled for the moment. Winnie's eyes looked outward and her voice was very soft, "Did you get into any big trouble?"
Nese wanted to deny it, but the trouble in front of her was definitely not a small one.
The billowing black smoke may not be obvious to the eyes of ordinary creatures. Most of the smoke actually comes from complex energy fluctuations, which can only be seen by eyes of their own level. He was grateful that he could still see. Black claws, red horns, and the looming shape of pure black wings appeared in the black smoke.
The giant black scorpion with sharp strokes in the sky began to drip lava. The entire Nightcrow Fortress was immersed in ever-increasing chaos, slowly darkening.
Everything points to one thing.
"The demons from hell will come," Nesse said slowly, feeling like he was nine years old when he first discovered that a simple twisting spell could turn the classmate at the next table into a bloody rag stick. , a little breathless. Winnie glanced at him, turned around, folded her arms, "Who? The one just now?"
"It's not just one person, there are many."
He unclenched his fists and pressed his sweaty palms against the door. "There are already dozens of people on the road, maybe hundreds."
"Hundreds?" Winnie laughed.
Like a sign of some bad omen, the scorpion-shaped hole in the sky kept spewing black smoke. Now he was 100% sure that it was an abnormal portal, which also contained several layers of realms - so he couldn't see the complete form of those demons. What he saw was only the projection on the physical realm.
The portal is now stable. The appearance and functionality were a bit beyond his imagination. The energy form revealed made him feel chilled from the bottom of his heart. That is the forbidden energy recognized by the magic world as the most poisonous, the darkest and the worst, and is written on the bans of all magic associations - soul energy.
Who opened this door to hell? Where does the soul energy driving this door come from?
Thanks to his knowledge of plane magic and his unique previous experiences, Nesse was able to recognize that it was not the usual handiwork of Izaint. He just left here without saying a word about it. He absolutely believed in him.
But if it wasn't his demon teacher, who had the knowledge and ability to open such a passage to connect the Chaos Hell and the Prime Material Plane?
Why do all the demons come?
"There must be more than a hundred demons." Winnie leaned her shoulders and forehead against the door panel. "I think there will be at least a few legions."
"Did you know? A demon army consists of six hundred and sixty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty..." Nesei retorted subconsciously.
No.
Legion. The emphasis is on the word. Legion.
He had to admit that Winnie might be right. They might, probably come in the form of legions. To capture and conquer.
My thoughts started to spin wildly.
"Who in hell would have such an idea?" As soon as this question appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but laugh at his own stupidity.
This is naturally a common thought among most demons.
Because this is what the devil of all demons thinks. The Demon Queen Beelzebub has always wanted to conquer other planes of the world. Whether the world is going to end or not has no influence on this crazy idea. It even promoted it in some ways.
Now it is certain that this matter has nothing to do with him.
In other words, there was nothing he could do about it.
No, not necessarily...
"Why did they choose this place?" Winnie asked casually.
Nese knew why. Here he accomplished almost the only feat among humans, bringing a demon from hell. After several more arrivals, the energy coordinates of Nightcrow Castle evolved again and again, becoming the closest point to hell, and possibly even to other planes. An excellent port on the Material Plane. It was for the same reason that he concentrated his collection of physical beings here.
But he didn't want to answer that question now.
Nese put a hand on her heart, mobilized her dream energy, and began to recall "Pak!" stamp! bite! 》. Maybe there was a completely correct reason for Cha's concealment. Maybe even if he was fully aware of the situation, he still couldn't make any contribution.
But he must know why.
