Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage Chapter 211

"what----"

The first scream came from the house on the west side of the village.

"It's Hughes!" Sadek exclaimed.

Silas pulled Sadek, who wanted to check it out, and ordered irrefutably:

"Gather everyone, all stay together!"

"That Hughes..."

"This is an order!!!" Silas couldn't hold back and roared, "Go!!!"

His voice had never been so urgent.

Sadek froze all over, didn't dare to neglect, and immediately called to organize the others.

They came to investigate this time with a team of 10 mages, led by Silas and him.

After a while, everyone was gathered in the center of the village.

Sadek stood in front of the line, counting the people next to the head.

one...two...three...eight...nine...ten...

ten? ? ?

"Hughes?"

Sadek stared at the tall and thin man who came to meet, with surprise on his face:

"Hughes! What happened just now, are you all right?"

"All, leave him!"

Silas frowned, let out a loud snort, and threw the Forbidden Stone chain in his hand without hesitation.

Light magic, borrowed from Laxana, dyed the chains white gold, radiating a dazzling, divine light.

call out--

The chain pierced through the air and hit Hughes in the chest.

But the sound of hitting the flesh did not come out, and the chain did not collide with Hughes, but went straight through his chest under the horrified eyes of the rest.

"Ah..."

A low sneer came from Hughes' throat.

His neck was crooked there at a strange angle, and his eyes, together with their sockets, turned into pure black like ink. His eyes were fixed on Silas, and the corners of his mouth slowly split to the sides, extending all the way to the back of his ears. .

The crack is extremely exaggerated, like the crack opened by the abyss, and inside is the darkness that devours everything.

"Damn!"

With fury in his eyes, Silas did not hesitate to detonate the light magic in the chains.

In an instant, the strong light enveloped Hughes from head to toe, and the yellow light in the shape of a bullet casing wrapped his body in it, slowly becoming translucent until it was illusory.

In the last second before he completely disappeared, Hughes' pair of shadowy eyes had an extra touch of coquettish red, and the red light seemed to be aimed at Silas.

Although Hughes had completely dissipated in less than a second, the last look in his eyes made everyone present feel a biting chill.

Those eyes, those eyes, don't look like human eyes at all...

Although Hughes disappeared completely, fear began to spread and bloom in everyone's heart.

"Retreat! Retreat! Damn, it's the devil." Silas said very quickly, "Everyone follow me and rush out of the village!"

Although he could not stop trembling in the face of demons, he knew that these people were the only "temporary survivors" who knew the truth. Some of them must return to Xiongdu alive and bring the news of the demon's invasion to Laksana. .

This is his mission!

Hearing Silas's words, the fear in everyone's heart was even greater.

demon...

Fear from ancient times.

This is a horrific legend lost in time, so long ago that everyone thought it was just a bluff story.

However, when the word awakened again, everyone, whether they knew it or not, would instantly recall the fear of being dominated.

Sadek took the lead in recovering from the daze. He spread his legs as fast as he could, barely following Silas, and looked at the broad back of the other side, so that his legs would not tremble too much.

"Follow me! Run!"

Silas looked for the direction to the east and led the crowd to break out.

In that direction, he sensed a considerable magical force.

He didn't know who was approaching at this time, but any power related to magic was their friend.

"run!!!"

"Life is important!"

"Get out and talk about it!!"

Several mages looked at the increasingly dark sky, and did not dare to hesitate any more.

ququack, quack-

Hundreds of crows were chasing after them, and the carrion-like cries echoed over the gray village, like ghosts in **** singing elegy.

Those sturdy eaves, those green branches and leaves... were swallowed by the darkness one by one.

A mage with poor physical strength was quickly left behind in the queue. He looked at the figures of his companions running farther and farther. He could no longer restrain his inner panic, and looked back subconsciously.

It was an unimaginable purgatory scene.

There was no extra color behind him, and everything fell into the underworld. It was a darkness without a light, a darkness so deep and dignified that it made people desperate, like being in the center of a storm, deprived of all emotions, only numbness , pain and despair.

The dark and deep behemoth slammed toward him, with countless scarlet eyes growing inside it, all of them opened at this time, staring at him, examining him, with the meaning of freezing and piercing the soul.

This scene will be an unforgettable scene in his life and the last scene he will see in his life.

In just a moment, his heart was completely filled with fear.

"what!!!"

Along with the shrill screams, his entire body was swept in by the black and red tide-like wind and disappeared without a trace.

"Don't look back, keep going!" Silas growled.

The forbidden magic stone chains in his hands suddenly lit up, and a beam of light with the meaning of slashing and breaking was launched forward.

Although the light beam is slowly being swallowed by the darkness, it is still the hope of all living people.

At least light the way of life for them.

At least let them see a ray of light in the boundless fear, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

The power of a demon comes from emotions. As long as a certain negative emotion corresponding to the demon is allowed to diffuse, it will be completely swallowed up.

Although Sadek and the others didn't know what kind of purgatory scene was behind them, but when they heard the shrill screams from behind, they probably knew the end of looking back and running slowly.

They know that they are in a race against the devil to take their lives from the **** of death.

Sadek bit his lower lip desperately, and the tearing sensation from the base of his thigh nearly made him faint. It was the pain caused by the exaggerated stretching of the ligament, but in comparison, what was the pain?

However, for most people, leaving their backs to the enemy, their hearts are more and more afraid.

ququack, quack-

The crow's tearing cries were incessant.

There are still about 100 meters from the entrance of the village, and three people have been swallowed into the darkness one after another.

Seeing that the companions beside him ran less and less, the remaining fear in the team became stronger.

"Hold on!!" Silas looked anxious.

Seeing that they were only 100 meters away from the exit of the village, no matter how hard they ran and escaped, it seemed that they would never finish the last part of the journey.

Maybe this is indeed the last paragraph...

"demon--!"

Silas shouted angrily, the fear, pain, unwillingness, resentment and other complex emotions in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a determination.

He bit his fingers without hesitation, quickly wrote the word "devil" in blood on the back of the paper he had been holding in his hand, and threw it out far away.

It was just the effort he wrote while running, and another companion was swallowed by fear.

And they are at least 50 meters away from the village entrance.

And all of them, even Silas himself, although holding back their emotions, were inevitably full of panic.

They all know that this final journey may never end.

quack-

The crow's voice behind him was like a urging note, and it seemed to be hurried by three points again.

The shadows around them grew darker, expanding wantonly, nibbling away at the ground beneath their feet.

"Is this the end?"

There was a hint of despair in Silas' eyes.

When faced with a creature that cannot be described in words, he realized how weak he really is.

He took a deep breath, and with the crisp sound of "Wow", the two Forbidden Stone chains on his wrist slammed forward.

Silas was no longer retained, and all the light magic stored in the chains of the Forbidden Stone was released in an instant.

A beam of light broke everything in the darkness, opening up another 10 meters for them.

Only the remaining four people embarked on this road of only 10 meters with the last desire to survive.

Just when their path was completely swallowed up by the light, and another companion died...

A melodious song suddenly penetrated the darkness and entered the ears of the three Silas.

that moment...

The fear in their hearts seems to be slowly dissipating.

The memories that were about to devour them and terrified them were slowly being erased from their minds.

As the song became more tactful, the flower of fear that was about to bloom in Silas's heart was greatly shaken, the petals fell, and the stamens were about to wither.

In their minds, many beautiful fragments suddenly flashed through, from birth to the present...

"Shimmer..."

There seemed to be a ray of light in Silas's eyes, which seemed to reflect the figure of a blond girl.

Behind him, Sadek and another mage also recalled their good memories. They changed their terrified expressions before, and the corners of their mouths rose to reveal a happy smile.

It was also at that moment that the wind in the world slowly began to flow.

At the same moment, the brilliance of the horizon seemed to slowly break through the haze.

Click, click!

It sounded like a broken glass mirror.

Around Silas and the three, the boundless darkness began to shatter, and cracks appeared.

Immediately afterwards, large tracts of darkness fell off like tree bark, revealing the bright sky outside.

The light... came in from the outside.

It seems that they have won this impossible race.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

Sadek and the other mage his chest heaved violently, gasping for breath.

The moment they saw the light appear, the two of them couldn't hold it any longer, and fell to the ground with a "thump". They had indeed reached their limit.

If it wasn't for the soft singing that was still reverberating in their ears, the two of them would have fainted long ago.

Silas was better than them, but he was blushing, sweating, and his heartbeat was like a drum.

Silas took a few breaths, raised his head slightly, and looked in the direction of the singing.

In that direction, he could see a sizable team parked there.

At the forefront of the team, there was a striking pink-haired girl standing right now. The singing came from her mouth, and it seemed that she was equipped with a floating luminous stage?

It's... peculiar.

The thought flashed across Silas' mind.

He took a few breaths, and immediately asked the other party with sincere thanks:

"Silas, thank you for your help! Dare to ask your name?"

The singing stopped with the girl's smile, and she bowed slightly, revealing a smile brighter than light:

"My name is Seraphine, and I'm from Noxus!"

After some exchanges, Silas gulps the water handed over by the yordles, and recounts what happened in Jinpo Town.

The clear water entered his throat, and Silas was completely relieved, and he let out two breaths:

"You are the Noxus exchange group, right?"

He had heard the news of the visit of the Noxus exchange group, and Laxanna also had the task of welcoming the exchange group.

"Yes." Seraphine nodded, looking curiously inside Jinpo Town, "The devil... it really hasn't appeared in a long time."

She knew in her heart that the target LeBlanc and the Empire wanted her to look for was probably this demon lurking in Demacia.

She is no stranger to demons.

There are a lot of records about demons in the floating castle, and even the source of power of the great commander Swain is the demon.

However, she heard from the teacher that Commander Swain was not a demon himself, but devoured the whole demon and mastered all the power and authority of the demon.

"There should be nothing wrong. There is no trace of magic at the scene. It can pull people into darkness and devour them. There is only the possibility of demons." Silas said in a hoarse voice.

The legends of demons are spread all over Rune Continent, from the weakest ordinary demons to the ten powerful demons, their legends are widely circulated.

"According to your description, it should be 'fear'. If it is not one of the ten major demons, you should not be powerless to resist." Seraphine speculated.

She could hear Silas' voice, a redeemed poor man.

From this she could deduce that Silas was not as powerful as Xin Zhao, but stronger than the average demon.

Of all the demons, ten stand at the top. They respectively hold a kind of authority in Rune Continent, or a law.

Fear and secrets are one of them.

According to his teacher, demons do not come from different planes like the void, nor do they seem like protoss originating from the stars in the sky.

The power of the devil comes from Runeterra's supplement to the law.

This is a very complicated theoretical system. What Seraphine has learned so far, only understands that this kind of authority is far stronger than ordinary energy, and its level is equal to the world rune, but because demons do not have human consciousness, they are It is weaker than the human control of the world runes.

She still remembered what Ms. Syndra said when she was teaching this passage:

The weakness of demons lies in their absolute pursuit of self-authority, and in comparison, humans who know how to give up are more difficult to deal with.

Absolute pursuit...the essence of demonic behavior, and their greatest weakness.

Seraphine turned her gaze to Silas, and it could be seen that he was in a much better state now, at least the fear in her heart had subsided.

"I don't know much about them, and I only know some scattered legends, such as the predecessor of the Crown Guard who killed a demon." Silas said.

With a calm expression on her face, Seraphine said with a smile: "That's a legend that happened in Fosbyro, and the protagonist of the story is Miss Laxana's grandfather. But unfortunately... the devil can't be killed by ordinary people. of."

Facing Silas' frozen face, Seraphine continued:

"Miss Laxana probably didn't tell you, not long ago, when she and her brother went to the town of Fosborough to worship their ancestors, they met the demon again~www.mtlnovel.com~ and defeated it. "

"Really, you Noxus are really all-pervasive." Silas recalled and sneered.

Seraphine was just a messenger, and in appearance, she was younger than Laxana.

Such people know so much about Demacia's secrets, which shows what Demacia has been infiltrated.

"Most places in Runeterra have demonic lore, but Noxus has none, and few Ionia. Do you know why?"

Seraphine didn't care about Silas' tone, but instead asked.

The man in front of him cared too much about Miss Crown Guard, but now, that Miss Crown Guard was about to deal with the devil.

In this case, if more information about demons can be obtained, the man in front of him is willing to make any concessions.

As Seraphine expected, Silas's face changed, and finally he asked sincerely:

"The messenger of Seraphine, I still hope to answer."
