Then, Martin looked at Viola with sympathy in his eyes, but he said seriously: "I understand your situation and sympathize with your experience. However, this is not a reason for you to try to take advantage of me."

After some thought, he planned to send Viola back to the Merlin family when he went to meet Duke Merlin.

After all, if he sent her back abruptly for no reason, it would undoubtedly push her to the edge of the cliff again. For Martin, there was really no need to do that.

Then he went back to rest.

A night passes in a flash.

The next morning, with the careful service of the maid, Martin washed up and enjoyed breakfast.

Since we already know that there is a high possibility of traps in that secret realm, we decide to put aside the plan of exploring the secret realm for the time being and instead focus on retaking the southern border.

At the same time, he also planned to continue looking through the elf stone statues in the space ring during this period to see if there was a chance to reach a contract with one or two ancient elves.

This will allow them to act as their own translators, so that they can better obtain information about the secret realm and other important information.

Just as Martin was planning to retake the southern border, a strange and terrifying scene appeared in the sky above the city in the sky.

A huge black hole suddenly appeared in the light column, like the mouth of a giant beast that was ready to devour its prey. The depths of the black hole seemed to be connected to another unknown world.

The beam of light pierced straight into the darkness, forming a barrier that stubbornly resisted some kind of power from the black hole.

Not long after, some strange-looking void creatures slowly crawled out of the black hole.

Their eyes were red, filled with endless murderous intent. They roared at the territory team guarding the barrier, and then rushed over madly.

At first, there were not many void creatures, only one or two, but in the blink of an eye, they emerged in groups.

Not only that, huge unknown creatures appear from time to time. These creatures have different shapes, some can fly, some crawl, and some can even become invisible.

These void creatures seemed to have no fear and treated death as nothing. Even though the barrier and the guarding field teams kept destroying batch after batch, they still continued to attack frantically.

Over time, the strength of the void creatures continued to grow. At first, most of the individuals that appeared were bronze and silver, but gradually, void creatures of gold, sky, and other strength levels also appeared one after another.

At first, the domain team could barely hold on, but as sporadic domain-strength void creatures appeared, the domain team leader realized the seriousness of the situation and had to notify the on-duty elders immediately.

The team leader acted decisively, quickly took out a special communication crystal, and sent an urgent message to the elder on duty.

After seeing the news, the elder thought to himself that this time he might face an unprecedented fierce battle. Domain-level void creatures rarely appeared in the past, but now they appeared one after another. The situation was not optimistic.

Soon, with the location of the on-duty elder as the center, a signal quickly spread to all the palaces in the Sky City.

In an instant, the gates of all the palaces opened one after another, and the powerful men in each domain walked out of the palace where they were stationed with serious expressions and steady steps.

Immediately afterwards, more than 200 powerful warriors from different races cut through space cracks, instantly arrived at the end of the light column, and then threw themselves into the battle without hesitation.

One of the elderly, powerful humans in the human realm, brandished his weapon and turned to the elder on duty, asking, "Where are the Knights of Punishment? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

The elder on duty shook his head helplessly and responded, "They have an extremely important mission and are already deep inside the black hole."

Hearing this answer, the old human domain expert who spoke understood and shut his mouth tacitly, saying no more. He swung the weapon in his hand more fiercely, and his attack was as fierce as a storm.

As these powerful domain masters joined the battle, and with the help of the light column barrier, the situation gradually developed in a favorable direction. They drove hundreds of millions of void creatures into the black hole bit by bit.

Just when everyone thought the situation was under control, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from the black hole.

The explosion lasted for a long time, interspersed with bursts of beast roars and the fierce collision of weapons.

It seems that because of the fierce fighting inside the black hole, the number of void creatures pouring out of the black hole has suddenly increased.

The situation that had just stabilized was reversed in an instant, and the enemy's offensive came back like a tide.

Faced with this sudden change, the powerful people in the field present looked at each other tacitly.

There was determination and resoluteness in his eyes, and then he once again faced the surging void creatures without hesitation, bravely throwing himself forward, and a more intense battle began.

As time passed, this difficult battle became more brutal.

The creatures in the void seem endless. Even if the strong people in many fields try their best, they still can't see the end.

They continued to pour out of the black hole like a tide. Many gradually became exhausted, and several had already died on the battlefield due to excessive fatigue and physical exhaustion.

Many other powerful people in other fields have also reached their limits and can only take medicine while mechanically waving their weapons.

The battle lasted for a whole month, and the long fight made the arms of all the creatures present numb from waving them.

Even some mages or shamans who are good at casting spells become bored with chanting spells over and over again, and would rather choose close combat.

Finally, no new void creatures emerged from the black hole.

But if you perceive carefully, you can find that the battle inside the black hole is still going on fiercely.

The remaining domain masters finally dealt with the last batch of void creatures and were hesitating whether to enter the black hole to find out what was going on when the sound inside the black hole suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a team of about thirty people, their bodies covered in the blood of void creatures, slowly walked out of the black hole.

Seeing this, the elder on duty hurried forward and said with concern: "You have worked hard. Now go down and rest quickly."

However, the more than 30 members of the Punishment Knights who came out ignored the elder on duty. The next second, they directly cut open a crack in space, slipped into it, and disappeared.

The elder on duty was not angry about this. After all, one hundred domain masters had entered the black hole, but now only thirty or so people came out.

But it is really incredible that they succeeded in killing the Tyrant of Destruction who was about to ignite the divine fire and advance to demigod.

Just as the elder on duty was thinking about it, he saw the black hole slowly shrinking.

But the next second, it suddenly expanded again, and then remained in this strange state without any change.

Strangely, despite the abnormal state of the black hole, no more void creatures emerged from it.
