Chapter 1335: Chapter 899 Leopard Change
“Move aside, Algard!”
Duanmu Huai leaped up and raised the War Hamr high above his head toward the altar in front of him. Hearing his roar, Algard hastily retreated. Duanmu Huai then bellowed and slamd the War Hamr down onto the altar.
“Boom!!”
The War Hamr, crackling with thunder, smashed directly into the center of the altar, colliding with the erupting column of fire. In the next mont, the fire column that was originally shooting out rapidly expanded and exploded, dissipating completely with a scream-like wail. And the altar in front of him was smashed to bits by Duanmu Huai with a single hamr blow.
“Aaaaaargh!!”
However, the situation was far from over. As Duanmu Huai took action, the guards who were originally responsible for protecting the area seed to have been contaminated by the Magic Elves. Their eyes shone with a bright magical glow, and their bodies began to shrivel up rapidly. In the blink of an eye, what were once sturdy young n turned into mummy-like monsters, swinging their weapons and pouncing towards others.
Suddenly, chaos erupted all around.
“What on earth is going on?”
Seeing this scene, Enisphia was shocked. Holding her Magic Sword, she faced the oncoming soldiers and didn’t know what to do for a mont —— fortunately, the whirlwind-like War Hamr spun and swept past, clearing the guards surrounding Enisphia.
“Enisphia, go check the situation elsewhere imdiately! We’ll talk about this place after it’s settled!”
“Ah, oh…!”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s command, Enisphia finally snapped back to her senses, then hurriedly pulled out her Magic Broom, mounted it, and soared into the sky, rushing toward the nearby United Army Camp.
At this mont, the entire altar was in complete disarray, nearly all the Noblen had mutated into Subspace Demons under the manipulation of the Magic Elves, and the guards were hardly different. Only a few people, including Duanmu Huai, remained unscathed.
“Hyaaa————!”
Algard roared as he drew his Longsword and slashed at the guards ahead, but when the sharp Longsword struck the guards, it bounced off as if hitting solid steel. In contrast, the guards were unfazed by Algard’s attack and swung their weapons straight at him—————following that, an invisible thread flashed by. Ogis, sitting on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder, slightly opened her right hand, transforming into a spider-web-like thread that suddenly tightened, instantly slicing the surrounding guards into pieces.
“Lumiere, what are you doing?”
“I can’t control the Magic Elves, they’re completely out of my control!”
“What a waste!”
Hearing Lumiere’s reply, Duanmu Huai helplessly rolled his eyes. It couldn’t be helped. Lumiere was just a Great Spirit in na only. If those Magic Elves had no self-awareness, maybe she could have used Elf Magic, but since those Magic Elves were self-aware, then……Lumiere was not much different from a Lone Commander.
“Zhenjiling, protect the others to leave the altar! Retreat downward first!”
“Okay, Big Brother!”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s command, Zhenjiling vigorously nodded, then threw a grenade at the guards blocking her way. Accompanied by the explosion of the grenade, an ice-cold chill imdiately overflowed, turning those guards into ice blocks. Following that, Zhenjiling quickly pulled out her shotgun from behind her waist, aid it forward, and forcefully pulled the trigger.
“Boom!”
Under the strike of the high-explosive bomb, the bodies of the Guards, hard enough to withstand Longsword attacks, were blasted open, and Zhenjiling swiftly waved to Yuriya and Algard behind her.
“Follow !”
“Roaaaaaaar!”
While Zhenjiling was covering for the others to quickly retreat from the altar, the Nobles who had fully mutated into Subspace Demon Beasts clearly would not let them leave. Soon, a Noble Monster, bloated and fat as a stinkbug, ferociously opened its mouth, and a gigantic Fireball shot out towards the direction of Zhenjiling and the others—— but the next mont, this powerful Fireball struck the hard, pitch-black Battle Armor and completely dissipated.
“Co at , scum of Subspace!”
Duanmu Huai clenched his Thunder Hamr, his eyes blazing with fervent flas as he stared at the mutated Nobles and Guards before him.
“It’s ti for you to taste the flavor of destruction and death!”
Indeed, nothing beats a good thrashing!
While Duanmu Huai faced off against Demon Beasts on the altar, the entire Northern Fortress was in complete chaos.
“How could this be…”
As she looked across the fortress, down on the battlefield, Enisphia was also shocked at the sight. At this mont, the entire Northern Fortress, including the United Army Camp, had beco a nightmarish scene. It wasn’t just the Nobles; in fact, a fair number of the United Army’s warriors and Guards had also turned into that mummy-like eerie existence. Only a very few Adventurers, unaffected by the Magic Elves, were still desperately fighting——but even they were probably unable to stop such an onslaught. Let alone the fact that they were fighting against their comrades and partners…
Is this the intent of the Magic Elves?
Seeing the scene before her, Enisphia clenched her fists. She rembered the warning Duanmu Huai had given her before; the Magic Elves were not good news, and Lumiere said the sa. But at the ti, Enisphia didn’t take it too seriously. The reason was simple; she couldn’t be affected by the Magic Elves and couldn’t form an Elf Contract, so even if she wanted to do sothing, there was nothing she could do.
Just then, Enisphia involuntarily glanced around and ——— she was shocked, her eyes widening.
“How could this be…!!”
“Bang!!”
The heavy sound of gunfire echoed through the corridors, and before the might of intergalactic weaponry, even the magic-enhanced Guards were as fragile as tofu. Zhenjiling gripped her shotgun tightly, eyes focused ahead. Behind her followed Algard, Yuriya, Lumiere, and warriors and Magic Users from the Adventurer Association.
The group rushed through the corridors at top speed, arriving in front of a door on the other side, and then Zhenjiling barged through, bursting into the room.
“Roar—————!”
As Zhenjiling entered, the Guards standing at the corners of the walls let out a yell, raising their Long Spears and thrusting forcefully at Zhenjiling. At the sa ti, a streak of light flashed by; the thrust spears were swept aside by Zhenjiling’s Shield, and at the sa ti, she pulled the shotgun’s bolt back again, aiming at the enemy.
“Bang, bang!”
Under the thunderous explosion, the fully armored warrior was instantaneously blown to pieces, and then the others rushed in as well, swiftly closing the door behind them.
“What on Earth is going on…?”
“What do we do now?”
“This is bad.”
Algard walked over to the window and looked outside, only to see the entire camp filled with a cacophony of growls and screams.
“I really did not expect the Magic Elves to do sothing like this… No, although I had my suspicions…”
Muttering to himself, Algard clenched his fists tightly.
“What exactly is going on, Prince Algard Highness?”
The representative from the Adventurer Association, who had just regained his composure, looked at Algard in surprise.
“Why has this problem arisen? Was there an error in the ritual? Or is it the Demon Clan’s sabotage?”
“……….”
Upon hearing the question, Algard hesitated before shaking his head.
“This isn’t the Demon Clan’s doing, and there’s nothing wrong with the ritual… In fact, this is the work of the Magic Elves!”
“What?”
The representatives from the Adventurer Association were shocked by Algard’s response.
“What exactly is going on? Magic Elves… Aren’t the Magic Elves supposed to be protecting the Paretia Kingdom?”
Faced with the adventurers’ questions, Algard was montarily unable to answer, until another voice chid in.
“Actually, those Magic Elves only pretend to protect humans. In the end, they’re no different from the lowly beings of the Demon Clan.”
As these words were spoken, the previously shut door burst open with a bang, and Duanmu Huai strode in, covered in blood. Seeing Duanmu Huai’s arrival, everyone gasped in shock.
“Sir Judge, those noblen…”
“Just a bunch of inferior Subspace Demons, they can’t stop .”
Duanmu Huai waved his hand dismissively.
“I know you all have many questions in mind, but there’s no ti for detailed explanations now. All you need to know is that the Magic Elves are just like the Demon Clan, trying to destroy humans, and now we’ve fallen into their trap.”
“This……”
“Oh no!”
Just then, Lumiere seed to have realized sothing and began to scream out loud, startling everyone around her.
“What’s wrong, Lumiere?”
“I just rembered!”
Lumiere’s face was also pale with her hands tightly clasped.
“The activation of the Big Barrier will connect with the Royal City’s Barrier! That ans—when we activated the Big Barrier at the Northern Fortress…”
“The Royal City’s Barrier was also activated?”
“That’s right. Originally, because the barrier at the Northern Fortress was shut down, the connection was also severed. But now that the Big Barrier at the Northern Fortress has been reactivated…”
“Get to the point.”
“……The people in the Royal City might have also been infected by the Magic Elves.”
“What!?”
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this, and Algard went pale.
“You an, the nobles left in the Royal City—could turn into those monsters?”
“I’m not sure… because the Big Barrier has just been completely destroyed by Sir Judge, and the connection only lasted a few minutes. If soone is not very sensitive to Magic Elves, they might not be significantly affected. But it’s hard to say for soone as sensitive and talented towards Magic Elves as Miss Yuriya…”
“Oh no!”
Algard’s complexion drastically changed at this realization.
“The Magic Departnt…!”
“It’s terrible—————!!”
However, in that mont, Enisphia suddenly burst through the window. If not for Duanmu Huai’s quick reflexes in catching her, she would have crashed into the pillar in front of her.
“What’s the matter? You’re in such a panic.”
“The Demon Clan!”
In response to Duanmu Huai’s question, Enisphia brought even worse news.
“I just discovered that the Demon Army has appeared outside the Northern Fortress!!”
