Chapter 323 First Battle
At the Meishan Orphanage, a man in a gray robe leans against a chair by a bus stop. Searching for missing persons might be difficult for humans, and even magical girls would need special spells to find missing people, like Kikyo.
But for the gray-robed man, it was far too easy; as the sun rose higher, his shadow gradually disappeared into the shadows of the ceiling.
These shadows, like venomous snakes, burrowed into the shadows of every human being. The human whose shadow was invaded was stunned for a moment, and then was enveloped by the black energy in the shadow and transformed into a man in black. And these shadows did not stop there.
They're like parasites, spreading from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight, and starting to multiply in the vicinity.
Of course, the gray-robed man's infection range was limited to this street. If he were to parasitize all the people in an entire district, let alone magical girls coming to find him, Princess Phantom Butterfly would probably be the first to exterminate him.
As the saying goes, what a camera may not be able to capture, a person can definitely see.
Soon the gray-robed man found the relevant memories in these parasitized people.
Several people witnessed the entire incident on the day it occurred. They hid behind the house and watched. When the special agents came to investigate later, they knew nothing about it and dared not say anything, for fear of being targeted by those monsters.
In addition, several parasites noticed a mysterious place in the nearby alley. That place was very quiet, and not a single stray cat or dog had ever appeared there.
They guessed that it might be a secret agency of the Xia Kingdom, and they were curious but dared not explore it.
Having obtained what he wanted, the gray-robed man subconsciously wanted to lead these men in black to be his henchmen, but then he thought that Princess Huan Die had not yet fully recovered, so it might not be a good idea to do so. In the end, he decided to have these men in black surround the mysterious location.
He went in alone.
Despite the bright sunshine overhead, the alleyway offered no warmth whatsoever from the sun.
There was only endless dampness and cold.
The man in the gray robe strolled slowly through the alley. The environment here was indeed different from other places. In other alleys, there was trash and graffiti everywhere, but here there was none. It was exceptionally clean and tidy.
After walking about a hundred meters, he saw an iron gate, but he didn't know if it was the main gate or a side gate.
The gray-robed man grinned, his body transforming into a black shadow once more. He slipped through the crack in the door and entered. The black shadow didn't rush to revert back to its original form, but instead wandered around the laboratory like a ghost.
A short while later, he heard a loud argument between a middle-aged man and a young girl.
What do you mean by Princess Huan Die being transformed? That's called the re-evolution of life. What do you mean by being in cahoots? Princess Huan Die originally belonged to the abyss.
However, as the big screen lit up, the two stopped arguing, and the gray-robed man looked over and immediately noticed the black mark on the man's arm, a mark of having signed a soul contract with Kurt.
The Abyss Demon General [Kart] may seem all smiles and unassuming, but he is actually the most treacherous and cunning of all the Abyss Demon Generals. Sometimes, people are betrayed by him and are still counting the money for him.
Logically speaking, his position as the Abyss Demon General should have belonged to Death Cutter No. 4. Princess Phantom Butterfly's favorability towards Death Cutter No. 4 was clearly different, but I don't know what kind of bet he made with him later.
Death Cutter No. 4 lost and also lost his eligibility to run for the Abyss Demon General.
As for how he knew what kind of person the other person was, yet still dared to bet with him, could he say that this was a plan he and the other person had devised together?
The two people are bound together.
With three people vying for two spots, the one with the best chance of promotion, Death Cutter Number Four, will definitely be kicked out first.
Getting back to the point, it's clear that the man on the screen is unaware that he has signed a contract with Kurt.
As the screen disappeared, the middle-aged man simply explained how to open the glass door and then left.
At this moment, hundreds and thousands of black shadow tentacles quickly began to converge on the area where the gray-robed man was located.
Before long, the gray-robed man figured out most of the middle-aged man's plans. Although he had just been sitting there watching the show, his shadow tentacles had actually parasitized all the staff in the entire renegade base.
The gray-robed man turned his gaze back to the girl in the enclosed space.
The other party seemed very conflicted. In fact, her conflict was justified, because pressing this button would not only open her glass door, but also detonate all the contaminated bombs that the Renegade Organization had hidden in Yeqiu City. At that time, tens of thousands of people would be turned into monsters at the same time.
But is it okay if she doesn't open the door?
No, that won't work either. There are some special gases mixed in with the glass dome. At first, nothing happened, but if you smelled it for too long, those magical girls who were stunned earlier would have ended up like that.
But this is what Chen Yao needs to worry about. What does a demon general like him need to worry about? He just needs to follow Princess Huan Die's orders, protect this girl, and keep track of Erkani.
Almost immediately after the middle-aged man left, his shadowy figure darted to the control panel and pressed the red button. After sending several shadowy figures to protect the girl, he himself charged towards the direction where Erkani had disappeared.
In the alley, a middle-aged man stared at the countdown on his phone, seemingly sighing and reflecting. "Indeed, online games are just online games, and reality is reality. Games are pre-written, but reality is constantly changing."
"Logically speaking, this button shouldn't be activated. I guess I underestimated its potential."
"But that's fine too. When thousands of weirdos appear at the same time, I'm a little curious whether the Security Bureau can really kill them all without mercy. Hehehe~"
Erkani laughed for a while, then seemed to realize that his laughter was a bit too villainous, and soon stopped laughing.
This secret base has most likely been exposed, and he's preparing to change bases and go into hiding. He will absolutely not appear in public until the reputations of Baiyun Group and Violet are ruined.
It would be great to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Yunlong is enough for the front lines. Even if Yunlong dies, he can quickly create a batch of obedient new subordinates.
Who told him to be blessed by heaven!
In the dark alley, the gray-robed man following behind could be clearly seen with a faint glow on his fingers.
[The Flower of God?]
The gray-robed Abyss Demon General was naturally aware of the blunder caused by the [Cursed Armor] last time, after all, he had carried out Princess Ivy's retrieval mission with the Demon Sword Grammer, and his experience was certainly incomparable to that of these humans.
However, to his utter surprise, the Abyss Relic actually appeared on this human.
In that case, Princess Huan Die is bound to ascend the throne this time!!!
Thinking of this, the gray-robed man could no longer suppress his excitement, and he no longer remembered that the order given to him by the Illusion Butterfly was only to keep an eye on the other party.
Now all he wants is to improve. If he kills the other party and obtains the holy relic [Flower of God] to give to Princess Huandie, and Princess Huandie becomes the great Lord of the Abyss in the future, will his path to advancement or promotion be far away?
He's so eager to improve!
Erkani, who was walking ahead, felt a strange unease rise in his heart almost the next second.
He tilted his head slightly, and in that instant, a jet-black tentacle grazed his cheek and embedded itself deeply in the wall in front of him.
When the attack missed, the whiskers quickly retracted as he instinctively turned his head.
Erkani's vision suddenly went black, but even so, no fear or terror appeared on his face. He calmly asked, "Who are you? I, Erkani, am a benevolent person. I don't think I have offended you."
His Highness Huan Die once said that villains die from talking too much. Although he didn't know what villains meant, he certainly remembered this sentence.
He had only one goal: to kill the insect in front of him and then take its corpse to see Princess Huandie.
In the alley, shadows gradually appeared, and hundreds of men in black silently gathered at his summons. Their presence was like that of ghosts, perfectly blending into their surroundings. Now, these men in black had only one goal: to kill Erkani before them.
The gray-robed man's silence, along with the rustling sounds around him, stirred a sense of apprehension in Ercani's heart. Humans are often not afraid of what they know, but are filled with fear of what they don't know, and Ercani, who had lost his sight, was no exception.
Without further hesitation, the ring on his hand flashed, and a dense, pale purple aura instantly enveloped him. With a blinding flash, his original middle-aged man appearance vanished without a trace, replaced by a tall and imposing figure clad in heavy dark purple armor, with a pair of enormous bat wings extending from his back.
As Ercani transformed into his freak form, his vision returned to normal, and he could see hundreds of men in black, wielding bone blades, swarming towards him. If it were just one man in black, it would be as easy for Ercani as crushing an ant.
But now, as he looked around, everything he saw was occupied by these men in black, whose bodies were flashing red light.
In the alleys, on rooftops, on walls... What's even more disgusting is that these men in black are like cockroaches that can't be killed.
With a few whooshing sounds, before the men in black who were rushing towards Erkani could even get close to him, large amounts of blood spurted from their necks and chests. The force of the blood disintegrated their bodies, tearing them into a pile of corpses that fell to the ground.
But if that were all, he wouldn't have shown such a serious and agitated expression. A few seconds later, the black-clad men who had been chopped into pieces actually reassembled and launched another attack towards Erkani.
Each time these men in black fell, they would quickly rise again, demonstrating incredible resilience.
Erkani's gaze slowly focused on the gray-robed man behind the group of men in black. He realized that this gray-robed man, who was completely covered from head to toe, was the mastermind behind the attack.
Only by dealing with him can these annoying men in black disappear completely.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed rapidly, escaping the sight of the group of men in black, and rushed straight towards the gray-robed man behind him. The gray-robed man was neither pleased nor angry when he saw Erkani charging towards him.
He was also curious about what kind of ability this insect had that could provoke Princess Huan Die to such anger.
The next moment, his figure also suddenly appeared, like a gray phantom rushing towards the figure in front of him.
Beneath the gray robe, dozens of slender tentacles shot out at lightning speed. These tentacles looked extremely soft, as if they could be cut in half with just a gentle chop.
But it's clear that Erkani initially thought so too, but he soon realized he was wrong.
puff!
With a gentle scratch of his claws, these tentacles were slashed as easily as fabric torn by a pair of sharp scissors.
However, the moment these tentacles were severed, they did not immediately lose their vitality. On the contrary, the instant they separated from the gray-robed man's body, they seemed to suddenly awaken their consciousness and transformed into pink arrows that pierced straight into the gaps in his armor.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, but that wasn't all. Erkani felt that after the arrows pierced his body, they not only didn't stop moving, but instead began to swim inside his body, which was terrifying.
"Is that all you've got?"
The gray-robed man stood aside, frowning. So far, he hadn't used a single move, yet his opponent was about to be killed by his passive approach.
With a slight wave of his hand, the men in black, as if receiving some kind of command, once again swung their bone blade beads at Erkani, who was rolling around on the ground in agony.
The gray-robed man stood quietly to the side, waiting for the men in black to completely chop the insect into pieces.
One second, ten seconds... Two minutes passed, and the men in black continued to hack at Erkani like madmen.
The gray-robed man raised an eyebrow. Even if the opponent's defense was high, it was impossible for them to withstand two layers of attacks for so long!
After briefly sensing Erkani's life state, I was surprised to find that his life energy remained unchanged.
The only difference is that he seems to have lost the tentacles that had previously burrowed into the other person's body.
Flashy and gaudy.
The gray-robed man was not going to wait any longer. From beneath his gray robe, enormous tentacles resembling octopus tentacles slowly emerged, and an ancient, heavy magic book appeared in his slippery tentacles.
Hear my command, Shadow of the Sky! Gray-clad Iron Cavalry, crush your rebellious enemies!
As the mysterious incantation rang out, a dozen gray-clad knights seemed to emerge from the depths of the void. Their armor gleamed with a cold, silvery light, and they rode skeletal horses that emitted a faint green glow. The enchanted lances in their hands were standard four-meter-long lances, yet they still wielded them with remarkable agility.
These grey knights are different from medieval knights among humans. Their physical structure is similar to that of humans, but their bodies are extremely strange and elusive. They are four meters tall with very thin legs, and their bodies seem to be wrapped in grey armor, obscuring their true appearance. There is a thin membrane on their spine, like a cicada's wing.
Upon receiving the order, these knights soared into the sky, then plummeted like meteorites.
Along their path, the black-clad men, buildings, and roadside houses that blocked their way were all reduced to wreckage and dust, beyond repair. The abyssal energy in the alley was directly absorbed by the skeletal horses beneath the feet of these gray-clad knights, and the speed of the beaded spikes was even faster.
Amidst the violent roar, the gray-clad knight vanished as if he had never existed.
Only a few remaining men in black continued tirelessly toward a certain place.
Upon seeing this creature, the gray-robed man couldn't help but feel a chill. Just what was this insect's ability?
