Black figures slowly crawled out from the cracks in the ground. Dozens or hundreds of them emerged from the ground of the arena, the walls of the stands and the gaps in the high walls at the same time.
Their bodies are black, a pure black that is darker than the shadows and seems to be able to swallow up the light, with only the edges turning slightly gray under the light.
There are no facial features on the face, and there is a slender crack in the center of the face, and a dark purple light flashes in the crack.
They crawled out of the cracks very quickly, swarming out of their underground nests like ants, and quickly occupied the arena floor.
Medici was the first to realize something was wrong.
His fire and ice were still burning in his palms, but his eyes had moved away from the Holy Duke and fell on the black figures emerging from the cracks in the ground. His pupils shrank slightly.
He has seen these monsters, Karelia, those things crawling out of the black material outside the imperial capital.
After fighting with them for several hours, Tower Mage Corps suffered many casualties. He thought they had all disappeared in the collapse of Old World, but there are still some here.
Why? Is there any remnant? His brain is running fast.
The Holy Duke also saw it.
He frowned. He had fought against these monsters on the ice field of Vostok. There were many of them, and although they were not strong individually, they could not be killed.
He thought he wouldn't have to see them again this time when he came to Vagrian.
Medici and Sheng Gong looked at each other.
They made a decision at the same time - to clean up these things first.
Medici The flames and frost in his hands flew out at the same moment. The red fireball and the blue ice ball drew two arcs in the air, hitting the two areas where the black figures were the densest.
The fireball exploded, and the shock wave lifted the surrounding black figures away, and the flames ignited them. They rolled on the ground trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but those flames were not ordinary fires, but the fire of Tower Mage King's magic, which could not be extinguished by ordinary means.
The ice ball exploded, and the frost spread from the center of the explosion to the surrounding areas, freezing the black figures into ice sculptures and then shattering.
The Holy Duke's body disappeared from the spot. His body passed between the black figures, and every pause was accompanied by the fall of a black figure.
His fingers were like knives, piercing the chest of the black figure. With a flick of his arm, he threw the still struggling figure to the ground and crushed it with his foot.
The mystics in the distance had a quick discussion.
They were communicating in code words that only they could understand. Then they nodded at the same time and pointed the black crystal in their hands at Reaper of Death.
The crystal lit up with dark purple light, and the light flowed from the crystal into Reaper of Death's armor, and from the armor into the staff in its hand.
Reaper of Death pointed the staff at the area where the black monsters gathered, and the dark purple crystal ball on the top of the staff began to rotate at high speed.
Dark purple light poured out from the crystal ball, and the light ball detached from the staff, slowly flew towards the center of the black monsters, and then exploded.
"Granting death"
Dark purple light spread from the center of the explosion to the surroundings, like a blooming flower.
Wherever the light passed, the black monsters fell limply as if the skeletons supporting their bodies had been taken away, and then turned into powder and scattered in the air.
Chaluoke and Na'er stopped and looked at the black figures emerging from the cracks in the ground.
There were far more of them than they expected.
"What is going on?" Chaluoke frowned.
He had seen these monsters in the Vagrian capital, and he was on the scene when Emperor Caesar and Voraksa cleaned them out.
He thought they had been cleaned up, why are they still there?
"The monster from before?" Na'er's voice was filled with uncertainty.
"No matter, let's deal with them first." The dark red crystal ball on the top of her staff lit up.
Chaluoke looked away from those black monsters. "You don't need to say it." His fingers had begun to condense magic power.
In the distance, the commanders of Pegasus and Azure Flame Wind-Rending Cavalry were facing each other in the open space outside the city.
Then they felt something at the same time.
It's not a sound, it's a wave of magic power - coming from the direction of the Colosseum, dense and chaotic, like countless low-level spells being released at the same time.
Pegasus easily dealt with the black monster that rushed towards him.
His spear penetrated the monster's chest and came out from the back, and then flicked the struggling monster off the tip of the spear.
His eyes moved away from the leader of Azure Flame Wind-Rending Cavalry and landed on the high wall covered by black figures in the direction of the Colosseum.
They looked at each other.
"Get rid of these obstructions first and then fight."
"Agree."
The leader of Azure Flame Wind-Rending Cavalry pulled out the lance from the body of a black monster.
Two meteors flew up from the open space outside the city, silvery white and cyan, piercing the sky and flying towards the Colosseum.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna stood on the edge of the arena, holding a long knife in his hand.
In front of him lay the corpses of several black monsters. The corpses were neatly cut in the middle, and black liquid gushes out from the cuts, forming a small dark black puddle on the ground.
Behind him, a young woman squatted on the ground, holding her head in her hands, her body trembling slightly.
A gray-haired squirrel squatted on her shoulder. The squirrel also held a pine cone in its mouth. The pine cone had been bitten open, revealing the light yellow kernel inside.
She was not a contestant. She didn't know how she got in. She didn't have any weapons on her body, and even the magic wave was very weak. It was so weak that when Kamiizumi Nobutsuna sensed her, she thought she had sensed it wrong.
Boom - a sword light lit up from Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's waist, so fast that A Qiu's eyes only saw a silver-white arc passing through the top of her head, and then several black monsters behind her were cut open.
There were several dull sounds in her ears, and then there was a pungent smell, like something burning.
"Thank you... thank you..." A Qiu's voice was so small that she wasn't sure if the warrior heard it.
Her name is A Qiu, and she is Wood Elf. She lives in a forest far away from the human country and lives a very peaceful life.
Since her wooden house was rebuilt, there have been no more storms.
She thought her life could be peaceful forever. Until not long ago, a black monster appeared out of nowhere and overturned her house.
Those black monsters crawled out of the ground and trampled her wooden house into pieces.
The animal friends took her running all the way, from the forest to the plains, and from the plains to the hills.
Then the black monster suddenly disappeared. It was not defeated, but disappeared from her eyes as if someone pressed the "remove" button.
A Qiu At that time, I doubted whether I was dreaming.
Then "Old Grandmother" came. To be precise, it was the will of "Old Grandmother" - in the legend, it is the ancestor of all Wood Elfs. Every time he appears, it represents a time when the world or Wood Elfs have a major impact.
He will descend into the consciousness of a certain Wood Elf and tell that Wood Elf where to go and what to do.
A Qiu I always thought it was just a legend.
Old Grandmother told her to go to the capital of Vagrian - Valerirus, where important things were going to happen.
Then Old Grandmother gave her a spell to save her life.
She walked all the way to the edge of the city and climbed over the city wall. After all, there was no one guarding the top, and for some reason there was no one standing guard on the city wall.
As for why she didn't go in through the main door - the giant dragons at the door almost scared her to faint.
She just glanced at the giant dragon with several heads lying on the ground like a mountain from a distance, and her legs became weak.
She just wants to complete the task as soon as possible and leave.
As a result, Old Grandmother didn't tell her that there was going to be a group fight here!
When he heard the telepathy from the golden dragon, A Qiu's mind went blank.
She didn't know what "free fighting" meant, but she saw people around her fighting, and their heads were badly bruised.
She decided to hide in the corner and wait for it to end, wait for those people to finish fighting, and wait for her "mission" to be completed, then she would leave.
Then those black monsters appeared out of nowhere.
Does she have to die here today?
The little squirrel on her shoulder comforted her and rubbed her cheek with its furry head.
Animal friends are not allowed to come to human gathering places, so I only brought squirrels with me.
"Well, um, brother - what is going on?" A Qiu tried to ask the warrior in front of him, with a cry in his voice.
"With so many monsters gathering together, is this some kind of large-scale ceremony? Is the emperor of Vagrian some kind of dracolich? It's over, meow..."
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna has no answer.
He held the long knife and faced the black monsters that were still pouring out of the cracks. His expression under the bamboo hat could not be seen clearly.
Chaluoke jumped up from the ground holding A Qiu in one hand and jumped to the stands.
His speed was so fast that A Qiu's eyes could only see a blurry afterimage, and then her perspective switched from the ground of the arena to the heights of the stands.
There was the sound of wind in her ears, and then a dull sound - Chaluoke threw out a spell with her other hand, knocking away a group of black monsters that were coming in this direction.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Chaluoke placed A Qiu on the seat in the stands and stood in front of her, facing the direction of the arena.
His eyes swept across the entire arena, and there were many more black monsters than he expected. They were not only in the arena, but also in the stands and on the high walls.
They are rapidly emerging from the ground, gushing out like spring water.
"Tsk, that's not good. These monsters are at least Sixth Tier level. Most people can't even deal with one of them."
A Qiu's eyelids twitched.
Sixth Tier? She can't even reach Third Tier. She is really going to die here today.
"Besides - it's like this, where is Voraksa? Where is Silver Radiance Dragon God? Where is God of Light? Why don't they come out and take care of it?"
Chaluoke's eyes swept from the arena to the sky, from the sky to the high wall, and from the high wall to the city wall.
Those giant dragons - none of those giant dragons lying at the city gate are moving.
They are still there, lying down, like lifeless statues, and the giant dragon with many heads is still lying on the ground.
"And where is the golden Dragon God named 'Caesar'?"
Chaluoke's voice contained a hint of uncertainty. He was not sure whether the dragon would care about this matter.
A thought flashed through his mind - that dragon took care of Evil God, and he also saved the lives of this continent. What are his principles?
(King Ghidorah: What makes you think I am kind?)
Chaluoke There is no answer, and there is no need to have one.
What he needs to do now is very simple - stay alive and try to take out as many people as possible, such as this little girl who can't even reach Third Tier.
Chaluoke once again fought off a huge black monster.
It was much larger than the previous ones, like a hill. When it squeezed out of the cracks in the arena, it trampled several small monsters around it into meat pies.
Chaluoke penetrated its chest with a crimson beam of light. It fell down and hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Na'er flew to his side.
"Let's go directly and find someone outside first."
"Can't get out!" someone shouted.
The man stood at the city gate, stretched his hand in the direction of the city gate, and then stopped - it was not him who stopped, but an invisible barrier blocking his hand.
He pressed his hand on the barrier, but it didn't move at all.
His expression changed, and he hit it with his fists, kicked with his feet, and bumped with his shoulders, but the barrier didn't move at all.
Then he disappeared.
The ground cracked, and a black, circular hole opened under his feet, swallowing him in like a mouth.
His shouts came from deep inside the cave entrance, getting farther and farther, getting smaller and smaller, and then disappeared.
Chaluoke's pupils shrank suddenly.
He looked at the ground - the cracks were still there and still expanding. Black holes opened from the cracks, like countless mouths waiting for prey.
They are expanding, rapidly expanding from the size of pot lids to the size of horse-drawn carriages.
They were devouring those contestants who had no time to dodge - some were swallowed, others grabbed the edge of the ground, their fingers plowed a few blood marks on the stone surface, and then they were dragged down.
in the sky.
King Ghidorah looked at the black sphere in front of him that was constantly expanding and would eventually cover the entire Colosseum and nearby neighborhoods.
The surface of the sphere is black, a rough, sandpaper-like texture.
There are fine, dark purple lines flowing on the surface of the sphere, like countless tiny snakes swimming.
Hmm. King Ghidorah looked at Light God next to him, and his six golden pupils narrowed slightly.
"It's pretty similar." King Ghidorah's telepathy.
Light God's light golden vertical pupils retracted from the black sphere and landed on King Ghidorah.
"Yes. It's ready as you ordered."
