The sky in the royal capital fell into darkness, like a faint inverted abyss.
"What... happened!?"
The crowd watched as the spreading ink gradually filled the sky, swallowing up their hopes.
Some mages in the academy wanted to release sparks from their hands to illuminate the surroundings, but no matter how hard they tried, not even a spark came out.
"Oops! Magic power is disordered!"
A mage suddenly screamed.
Even more terrifying than before, a strong sense of negativity surged toward the mages.
Those mages who could still stand before were now unable to stand firmly.
They fell one after another, and Gwen gradually felt uneasy in her heart.
Her intuition told her that maybe it wasn't just the academy that was in crisis.
Maybe the entire royal capital will be in danger.
"Look! What is that!"
Several students pointed to the back hill of the college and exclaimed, and an aura of fear suddenly filled the crowd.
The gradually transparent barrier has allowed them to see the outside world,
However, the scenery they saw was unforgettable.
The demon's figure began to expand rapidly, devouring everything it touched.
The back mountain of the academy could not withstand the violent compression and began to gradually collapse. However, the rock did not fall. Instead, it was entangled by the tongue on the devil's body and sent into the bottomless mouth.
Even the sky was bitten off by it, like broken glass, with endless voids and whirring sounds.
"Then...that is the devil?"
"Rescued Professor Devon's... demon?"
The sound of panic spread throughout the college.
Even the outside world has a panoramic view of this natural disaster-like chaos.
The royal family finally paid attention to this disaster for the first time. The army was dispatched, and a large number of mages rode in carriages and rushed towards the academy to support them.
For a moment, screams, the sound of carriages, and the sound of the mountain collapsing filled the entire royal capital.
…
Kefla was thrown out like a kite with broken strings, breaking several thick giant trees, and fell silent.
The demon looked at the fallen demon hunter and his growing body, and smiled arrogantly:
"Thanks to you, little girl."
"Although it's still a little worse, I can't be too greedy."
The little girl the devil talks about is naturally Heni.
It never thought that a random ordinary person would have such a rich reserve of magical knowledge.
This is a huge gift for the devil.
Under its bewitchment, Heni borrowed huge power from it.
And it set up a magic extraction formation in the human academy that even it could not imagine.
Even a fourth-level mage would need a lot of time to analyze the complex arrays composed of countless different arrays.
Heni used this formation to absorb enough magic power to complete the revenge she wanted.
However, all of this is cheap.
As long as the magic circle dissipates, those mages can always serve as its source of magic power, allowing it to continue to grow.
At this moment, the devil didn't even want to eat Heni.
The knowledge in Hernie's mind made the devil feel extremely greedy for knowledge for the first time.
Demons generally do not kill traders easily, especially an excellent trader like Heni.
At this time, its body was emitting a faint light from time to time.
That's because countless mages in the academy continue to absorb magic power and continue to provide it with magic power recovery.
The magic power in the body is constantly filling.
It was more than dozens of times what it paid to Heni.
In a sense, Heni has paid all its debts and does not need to taste each other anymore.
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed, and Kefla rushed out unscathed, holding the silver blade in both hands, and rushed towards the demon.
Demon hunters have bonuses when facing demons, but will lose part of their sanity accordingly.
But to deal with demons, it is obviously more advantageous to rely on instinct to fight.
The huge mouth on the demon's body was torn open in an instant, and countless black tentacles spurted out from the gaps between the fangs.
It slapped Kefla impatiently, sending Kefla hundreds of meters away.
However, she remained perseverant and struck again and again, each time using the special metal weapon in her hand to cause some damage to it.
Although the damage is not high, it is extremely insulting.
The demon gradually began to become irritated. Although the opponent was so weak, it was like a fly wrapped around it and could not be swatted away.
At this moment, a magical light suddenly lit up.
The purple formation gradually formed between Erica's hands, and every line and every rune was engraved in place.
She clasped her hands together, and the space around the demon was torn apart instantly, like clouds of stars emerging out of thin air, from which dozens of purple chains burst out, piercing into the demon's body.
[Second level magic: Nebula Lock]
"Success!"
Erica was surprised and happy. Fortunately, she had learned this kind of magic from Victor. She didn't expect that the first time she used it, she would face a powerful enemy like the devil.
The devil suddenly felt that the magic power in his body was hindered to a certain extent, and he couldn't help but turn his attention to the iron chains that disconnected his magic power channel.
"Well, annoying mage."
It broke free violently, and the surrounding mountains shook with its movements, and amazing rocks fell one after another.
Not long after, the chain instantly shattered.
But being able to block it for a while is enough.
During this short period of time, Erica drew several more small magic circles.
Without exception, these magic circles are adding magical benefits to Kefla.
"Speed, attack, resistance, toughness...all must be added!"
Erica quickly formed the formation and kept chanting.
She has thoroughly studied these magics, and Victor even gave her a lot of suggestions for improvement.
Erica uses these small buffs with ease.
After being blessed with enough bUffs, Kefla's movements became even faster.
She caught the gap between the demon and the chain, and in the blink of an eye, a white light flashed through countless tentacles and fangs, and slashed hard on the demon's neck.
The demon raised its head and was in great pain. The special silver blade gave it extraordinary trauma. It felt the magic power in its body flowing out.
It struggled wildly, and countless tentacles began to fall from it.
Professor Devon, who was lying on the ground, looked up at the horrifying sight in front of him. He couldn't help but be so frightened that he trembled all over. He squirmed and rolled away with all his strength to prevent these tentacles from falling on him.
The demon became agitated, the fangs and sharp teeth on its body gradually retracted, and the countless tentacles also calmed down.
Only a head with a huge mouth began to eat away at his huge body, and blood and fishy stench spurted out.
The fishy smell corroded most of the surrounding forest, and Erica also felt a heartbreaking pain on her skin.
She quickly lay down on the ground to avoid the evil spirit floating in the air.
The more it gnaws away, the more exaggeratedly the demon's head expands. When it swallows his body completely, the head flowing with mucus and blood seems to be about to explode in the next second.
In the end, all that was left was a head that was constantly shaking, and ink was spitting out overwhelmingly.
It fell to the ground bit by bit, and countless tentacles rose up, like towering giant pillars.
With one blow, a hundred-meter-high wave of ink swept everything into it.
Erica was swept away by the ink and hit hard on the remaining rocks. One arm was also pierced by a sharp stone, and pain flowed throughout her body.
Kevlar was submerged under the ink, constantly struggling, but also sinking.
The demon opened its astonishingly huge mouth, rolled up Kefla with its tentacles and was about to put it into its mouth.
Suddenly, Kefla laughed strangely.
She pulled her finger, and the silver blades under the ink thrust out towards the sky, hitting the demon's huge head directly.
The demon cried out in pain. Kefla took this opportunity to break away from the demon's shackles. She turned over and inserted several silver daggers into the demon's head as she moved.
The demon was in pain, and Kefla took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the demon's shackles.
"Death! Devil!"
The daggers inserted into the demon's head lit up with scorching white light, and metallic buzzing sounds filled the sky.
The daggers exploded one by one on the demon's body like bombs.
Layers of ripples visible to the naked eye spread outward.
The demon howled miserably, and its head exploded, turning into a dense black mist.
The strong breath pulverized all the remaining trees around into powder, and filled the sky with smoke.
Kefla's body softened and fell back to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Won……"
Suddenly, a sound that seemed to come from the abyss came from the sky, making Kefla tremble all over.
"have you had enough?"
She raised her head, and the endless black mist gathered again, turning into a dirty and disgusting head.
It opened one of its eyes, staring at itself like a light bulb, filled with greed and madness.
Kefla stared blankly at the scene in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.
The hundred-meter-long tongue on the head sprang out from the ink on the ground, and with a sweep, she and Erica were knocked out a hundred meters away.
This terrifying blow made both of their bodies feel loose and in great pain.
The devil's tongue slowly approached the two of them.
But suddenly, there was a terrifying feeling of weakness in his body, which made the devil instantly stunned.
The magic power in the body is passing away! ?
"No, what's going on? There's something wrong!"
The demon concentrated and began to absorb the magic of the academy.
But no matter how much it was absorbed, not a single bit of magic power was transferred into the body.
There is only a constant flow of magic power.
It turned its head and looked back at the academy.
At some point, the black barrier over the academy was gradually dissipating and becoming transparent.
Someone cracked that magic circle!
But this shouldn't be the case.
Even if it is cracked, there should not be such a level of magic backlash.
The demon's lack of brain was not enough to allow it to think more. It lowered its head and glanced past Erica and Kefla.
It was too late to taste the two humans.
Furious, it vented everything on the two of them. It flicked out its tongue, and the huge and shocking force completely lifted the two of them away until they disappeared into the air and completely disappeared.
The troublesome bug was instantly eliminated by it. It dragged its body and walked slowly towards the college step by step.
It wants to use the entire academy as a stronghold, summon a demon gate here, and let its descendants completely occupy this place.
Transform this place into its own empire.
"Um?"
Suddenly, it lowered its head and felt the breath of life coming from below.
That was Professor Devon. It was trying to curl up its body, trembling with fear.
Ever since, the devil grinned and laughed crazily.
"Hahahaha! So you're not dead yet, stupid guy."
"Are you that little girl's enemy?"
The devil didn't know what was going on in Hernie's head, but it could leave this guy's life for the time being and let Hernie deal with it.
Think of it as a thank you gift from Hernie for her endless knowledge.
So, its tongue rolled up the trembling German, and like a missile, it jumped towards the college.
…
At the same time, all the mages within the barrier showed relief.
"Yes! That's right there."
Under Vega's instructions, Victor inserted the final magical runes.
Soon, the magic circle began to dissipate.
Countless mages felt that the magic power was returning, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
Victor also felt a little emotional.
Hernie is so gentle.
After unlocking the magic circle, he noticed an inversion magic circle left by Heni.
Once someone successfully breaks the formation, the formation will have the effect of magic returning.
The magic power of the person being drained will begin to flow back to the caster at the same rate.
Hernie seemed to have expected that the demon would use her knowledge to gain more power.
Therefore, she left loopholes in the formation in advance.
If the devil is really as uncontrollable as she thinks, breaking the magic circle will be the only chance for the mages to make a comeback.
This is the last chess piece left by Henie, the final kill for her who has no knowledge but no magic talent.
When everyone is thankful that their magic power is gradually returning.
They complimented and thanked Victor.
But he didn't notice that a group of black shadows suddenly gathered from all directions.
The stone slabs of the college began to shatter, and countless buildings were eroded to the point of collapse.
Several mage towers also began to sway under the gathering of demons, and exploded with a bang.
The towering teaching building was as fragile as soil and collapsed suddenly.
In just ten seconds, the college has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The once glorious college suddenly became dilapidated.
Countless people couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the giant-like figure.
"Evil! Devil!!!"
It seemed to bring endless terror, and the haze hung over everyone's heads.
It stretched out its long tongue and threw Professor Devon to the ground, like an innocent dead dog.
At this point, countless people fell into complete panic.
This terrifying aura, and the terror that just disappeared on the top of the mountain.
Everything is shown everywhere.
The devil has come to the academy.
The greedy demon drooled with dirty saliva and seemed to want to swallow everything in the academy.
At this moment, a huge fluorescent blue magic circle rose from the ground again, bathing everyone in it.
[Third Level Magic: Realm of Magic]
Effect: Largely restore magic power within the range and greatly increase magic damage.
Victor's calm voice sounded from the side.
"Then, it's time to join the team."
