Wu You stretched and clicked his tongue, then pulled out a box of popcorn from somewhere and glanced at the Primordial Demon, who had been eager to fight ever since the darkness descended.

"Hey, Saraso, don't rush down to acknowledge our relatives yet. Let them fight each other first."

Saraso had never seen the movie, so she didn't know what the demons looked like, but she was still very much looking forward to it.

The darkness descended faster than expected, quickly spreading from the entire block to cover nearly half the district.

A thin layer of dark clouds covered the sky; the sun was still visible, but it felt like the dead of night.

This darkness is not simply black fog or the obscuring of sunlight; it's as if night has fallen prematurely in this half of the district.

This situation left the families who witnessed it bewildered, with some even mistaking it for some rare total solar eclipse.

However, after excitedly taking out the telescope, they found that despite the thin clouds, they could clearly see the sun in the sky. The sun looked normal through the telescope, but the surroundings were just like night.

Meanwhile, Christine and her group were anxiously waiting for something.

The book in the white girl's hand turned its pages rapidly without any wind, emitting bursts of blue light.

The group of people could only watch as the surroundings grew darker and darker, unable to see the demon for the time being.

Christine couldn't take it anymore.

“Holly, can’t we just run away? I don’t think waiting here for the devil is a wise choice.”

Her boyfriend, Clay, immediately agreed.

"Great idea!"

The white girl kept drawing magic from the spellbook.

“Christine, believe me, we have a wealth of experience with this, and if we choose to run away, things will only get worse!”

As she spoke, the white girl turned to look at the couple.

“We can’t be with you 24 hours a day. If we’re not here, you’ll be found by the devil.”

"Tell me, Christine, would you prefer that situation?"

The psychic shop owner was also somewhat flustered at this moment. They usually deal with evil spirits, such as possession, but to be honest, the current situation was far beyond their capabilities. He had never imagined that evil would appear so openly in the mortal world.

"Christine, listen to them. This kind of evil power is unheard of. It's possible that a demon has come out of hell. There's no use running away!"

After these few exchanges, there was a brief silence.

People began to feel the temperature dropping rapidly, and some others couldn't stand it and went back inside.

"Hehehehe... Hahahahaha..."

A sharp, exaggerated, and chilling laugh rang out from all around.

"Although, for some reason, I... was able to descend directly to the mortal realm! Hahahaha... Christine, I will celebrate with your soul! And of course, none of you will escape!"

A dark shadow on the ground gradually lengthened, and a grotesque monster, half-bent over, rose from the shadow. It looked to be at least four meters tall, with its pair of twisted and thick goat horns being particularly conspicuous.

It looked down at Christine and her group, and suddenly it seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"Oh! Look, besides Christine, there are so many delicious souls, hahaha, is that weak fireball coming to hit me?"

"Roar~"

One second they were joking, the next Lamia immediately attacked, her claws growing longer and her entire body fading into the surrounding darkness.

"Let's do it!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The white girl let out a loud shout, and the two blazing white fireballs she had conjured in her hands exploded in the air above.

The fireball exploded, unleashing a burst of intense light that instantly cast a faint, illusory shadow of Lamia in the surrounding area.

The blonde female knight immediately launched a follow-up attack, swinging her longsword as she moved at high speed.

"courage!"

A layer of silver light instantly enveloped the sword, leaving a crescent-shaped slashing trajectory.

Swish~

A line of blood appeared.

"Roar~"

Lamia let out a painful roar, and at the same time, her tail lashed out at the female knight, several times faster than she could swing her sword.

"Get out of the way!"

"Bang!"

The female knight only had time to parry with her sword before she was struck by the tail, which lashed out like a truck, and sent flying to the side.

"Boom!"

The wall of a nearby shop was smashed.

"You reptiles, how dare you hurt me!! But she only has one life!"

The shop's broken bricks are still falling off piece by piece.

"Cough cough~~"

The female knight walked out with difficulty from inside. Her armor was not badly damaged, but she was coughing up large amounts of blood.

"Shelter and Heal!"

The blond man in the group, dressed as a priest, cast a spell on the female knight, whose condition improved visibly and who quickly regained her composure.

"I may only have one life, but it's not so easy to take it away!"

"Furthermore, do you understand, Lamia? Now that your true form has come to the mortal realm, you can be killed!"

Like a declaration, this sentence ended, and the six-person team and the black goat Lamia began a life-or-death battle.

Lightning, fire, explosions, and various dazzling slashes and other attacks, while Lamia relies heavily on solid physical attacks, interspersed with some dark magic.

Wu You yawned as he watched the fight below.

"Yuanfang, what do you think?"

Saraso sat cross-legged in the air, resting his chin on his hand as he looked down at Lamia.

"These are just kids playing house. And besides, this demon is really ugly..."

Indeed, although there are many kinds of demons in the Earth Sphere, each of them has a very interesting style. Some are handsome, some are cool, and even the worst ones have a lot of presence. They are not ugly at all.

"Alright, you can make your appearance now. Eat your cousin's food and see if you can find hell."

Yes, this hell is like a golden upside-down bell. Wu You can't find it directly, but it's definitely not inside the Earth. However, it's better than the golden upside-down bell in that at least you can feel the hell.

"No, Master, I can't bring myself to do something so malicious!"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

...

Below, the white girl had used several spells beyond her control and was now only able to catch her breath. Fortunately, Lamia had also been weakened enough that only the blonde female knight and the black strongman Bruce were still able to move.

This black man has transformed into a 2.5-meter-tall stone-skinned giant, much like the Thing from Fantastic Four.

"Give it your all, Lamia's about to collapse!"

Lamia also realized that things were not going well today. These guys were unexpectedly strong, and she was already planning to escape. Anyway, these guys couldn't stop her.

After knocking the stone golem away and taking a sword strike from the female knight, he gathered his strength and merged into the shadows.

The white girl had been keeping an eye on Lamia, seemingly sensing through some kind of intuition that the time had come.

"Christine, throw the crucifix to the ground!"

Christine immediately took off the cross she was carrying and threw it hard on the ground.

"Clang~"

Like the tolling of bells from heaven, a circle of cross-shaped light and shadow quickly surrounded the area within a hundred meters.

"Lamia! You can't escape!"

"Roar~" The roar, clearly filled with pain, indicated that Lamia had suffered considerable injury in the previous attack.

Lamia was thrown back after hitting the cross and was already very weak, and then everyone smiled.

But just then, a calm yet sarcastic voice rang out from outside the light and shadow of the cross.

"Excuse me, what is this thin, shiny glass cover used for?"

People looked toward the source of the sound.

The white girl's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, Christine and Clay felt their limbs go cold, the psychic shopkeeper got goosebumps all over, the female knight and the stone man stopped their pursuit, and even Lamia stared blankly.

Outside the light curtain.

There stood a handsome man in a suit.

But his shadow stretched out behind him, blocking out the sun and making the city on that side so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

With its double horns, bat wings, hooves, and ferocious, terrifying muscles and claws, the proportions are so perfect they're breathtaking—it's the shadow of a demon!

Thick, wispy substances emanated from the shadows, making one feel as if their soul was being stuck to them.

"Snap~ Bang~"

It seemed as if the cross-shaped light screen shattered at the touch of that word, and the darkness on the outside quickly encroached.

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's bodies.

Bruce glanced at his captain instinctively, and what he was thinking was what the other five team members were thinking as well.

'What kind of being has this plot twist provoked?!'
