Chapter 125

The peddler often went to the mountains alone, and he was quite courageous. If he heard such strange words in the city, he would just think someone was joking.

But at this moment, what was approaching along with the horrifying words was not the sound of human footsteps, but the rustling sound of reptiles passing through dry leaves. At the same time, a cold and oppressive feeling suddenly appeared, making his breathing tight. That feeling of oppression... was definitely not a psychological effect!

The vendor raised his axe tremblingly, and then - ran!!!

He didn't dare to look around, in case he saw something scary and got so scared that his legs went weak that he couldn't run! He might even be killed by someone else, as that's what happened in the storybook he read last month!

"Haha~" The intimidating being seemed amused. It jumped in front of its prey and laughed extremely evilly, "Where are you going?"

The peddler ran away, staring at the creature in front of him with wide eyes - vertical pupils, fangs, half human, half snake, and the thick snake tail could easily strangle him.

"Weird...weird" thing!

The peddler fainted before he could finish his words.

The snake man suppressed his evil smile, feeling deeply bored. He didn't care at all about the human lying on the ground, and swam away wagging his tail.

Since we saw people, there must be a human gathering place nearby. Let’s sneak in and see what it looks like.

The snake man who was so arrogant just now actually belonged to the bottom of the abyss. He was still young and not very strong. He didn't want to encounter powerful humans who would chop him into pieces. After seeing the city, the snake man shrank to the size of an earthworm, and with the cover of magic, no one saw a small snake swimming on the ground.

The snake man smelled the fragrance and entered a restaurant. After devouring a plate of braised pork in the kitchen, he thanked the Lord of the Abyss for his protection again. When he was hiding above the abyss to avoid the enemy, he accidentally discovered that there was a hole in the seal. Oh~ he was so lucky!

He is just like the protagonist in a storybook, who was able to survive when he was young and desperate, and even encountered such a great thing!

The snake man didn't dare go back and tell the other demons the good news. That damn bird-beak doctor had been trying to capture him for experiments recently!

He wanted to be the first one to go out. Perhaps the great Dark God had arranged an adventure for him.

After leaving the abyss, he swam in a random direction and finally arrived at the city of Xidan.

——

When the firewood vendor woke up, he ran back to the city in panic, shouting "monster" all the way. He ran to the church to find the priest and asked them to kill the monster quickly!

The priests thought his description sounded like a race from the abyss, but this believer said that the snake people were chasing him but he was not hurt, and there was no magical element left on his body, so it didn't seem like he had encountered a ferocious demon.

The priest shook his head. Oh, another person who had a nightmare after reading a storybook.

They asked the believers to sit in the main temple and calm themselves down, "The idol can drive away all evil, you are safe here."

The peddler suddenly realized, oh~ it must be that after he fell unconscious, the great God of Light provided him with shelter, so he was not eaten by the monster!

He knelt on the ground and praised the gods devoutly. For all these years, he considered himself a very devout believer, but for the first time, he gathered the power of faith.

On the second day, a team of bounty hunters saw walking skeletons in the wilderness not far from the abyss rift.

They couldn't tell whether it was controlled by magic or a newly conscious undead, but it was a dangerous thing anyway, so the hunters simply turned it into a pile of broken bones.

When they saw a burly giant about twenty meters tall that day, they felt that the previous skeleton was not a coincidence.

“Oh my god…”

“Aren’t those aliens from the abyss? How come they appear in the mortal world?!” Even if there are aliens from the abyss left over from the era of the war of gods, it is impossible for the giants with such a large body to hide until now.

"Shhh-keep it down."

Sitting on the ground, the giant as big as a hill didn't notice that there were a few small ants whispering nearby. He looked up at the sun in the sky. After a while, his eyes couldn't bear it anymore, so he rubbed them and continued looking, very curious about what the round ball hanging in the sky was.

Brook is a giant born after the seal, and this is the first time he sees the sun.

The Church once brainwashed the human race into believing that all alien races from the abyss were evil and cruel. For example, the giants could grab a handful of people with one hand and put them into their mouths, swallowing them raw without chewing.

In recent years, the popularity of storybooks has subtly changed the impression of the new generation of human beings.

A hunter observed for a while, and the clear stupidity in the big guy's eyes made him less nervous. "He is just like what is written in the book, simple and easy to deceive."

But if the description of the alien race in the book is true, once this simple giant is angered, it will be difficult for him to calm down, and he will inevitably pose a great threat.

"Let's go."

The hunter team doesn't want to fight against dangerous aliens. It's useless to waste effort. They are not crazy. They just need to spread the news. The royal family and the church will handle it.

On the way back to the human city, they saw the winged nightmare beasts, the bird-beaked plague doctors, the blood clan with red eyes and sharp teeth...all of them looked left and right with a curious look on their faces.

The hunters were already sweating profusely, and they finally realized that something big had happened in this world!

——

At the top floor of the tower at Aurelian College, a silver-haired young man was reading an ancient manuscript. The thoughts and ideas recorded by the pioneers of human magic were very inspiring to his research on magic.

Feeling the vibration of the crystal ball, Al connected to the other end, but saw an unexpected person... No, a demon!

"Raymond?" With such a long distance between us and a seal between them, it's impossible for him to connect to the crystal ball!

Seeing the clear blue sky in the background opposite, Al frowned and was about to ask him, but Raymond grinned and shouted impatiently: "Your Highness! The seal is broken hehe hahahaha...you didn't lie to us hehe!"

When the envoy of God first talked with the demons, he said that the seal would be broken in about a hundred years. Although the demons have not been so persistent in running out in recent years, but! The seal of the God of Light has been broken, which means the victory of the abyss!

Oh my God~ Does this also indicate that their great Lord of the Abyss is about to appear!

Al: “???” What’s going on? Why so sudden? What did he say before?

He had said so many nonsense that he had long forgotten the unimportant details.

Al opened his mouth, not knowing what to ask first. Hank, Raymond's old father, squeezed into the picture, "Your Highness, does my god have any other plans? Why is the seal only partially unlocked? It's so crowded."

The crystal ball was pointed downwards, and a large number of demons were crowded at the exit, some even got angry and started fighting.

Al remained calm, as if he had expected this, but he was thinking quickly in his mind - it couldn't be Samuel who opened the seal. Anyway, that thing didn't affect him, so he didn't bother to care. Moreover, if Samuel really wanted to do such a big thing, he would definitely tell him.

By the way, the seal where Raymond and the others were staying had long been weakened. Could it be that the divine power was exhausted and broke? Or was it that the faith in the God of Light was not enough, and He became weak, so He could not hold up the seal?

"Sir Hank, please let the demons stay where they are. The human race is very timid. If you suddenly show up and scare them, it will trigger a war between the two worlds."

The demon's expression remained unchanged. Al knew that the demons did not care about war, so he continued, "My God has other plans for you when he lets you out. Please return to the abyss to welcome my God's return. If you act recklessly, my God will surely be angry. You should have heard that the great Lord of the Abyss has a bad temper."

Hank, as well as the other demons around who had heard the conversation, all turned serious and looked at each other, then immediately went to restrain their own people!

Although they don’t know the God’s plan, they will never allow their people to get into trouble. What if the God dislikes the entire race? !

The big devil threw the crystal ball directly to his son and went to chase the tribesmen who had already run far away.

Raymond said awkwardly: "Your Highness, we don't know when the seal was broken. It is possible... that a demon or monster has already escaped."

Al held his forehead with his hand and still tricked them all into going to the Far West to wait for the gods to come, thus diverting the demons' attention from the mortal world.

Once the communication was disconnected, he was ready to let his lover go back to the abyss to control the demons.

Tsk, if any demons have already appeared in public, the information will soon be transmitted to the royal city to request support.

Al was right. As soon as he returned to the manor and asked Samuel to let him go back to be the king and dominate the world, Bishop Edgar contacted him and asked him and the archbishops to lead the Holy Knights to the abyss rift with an unprecedented serious and worried attitude.

"Abner, Daphne, and Chris are not in the royal city, but I have also informed them, and the children will be there to join you soon."

"Oh, of course, I will also contact His Holiness the Pope. I hope His Holiness can hear the movement of the communication ball."

The old man's brows never relaxed, "You must be careful!"

After interrupting the conversation with His Excellency the Bishop, Al received another call from Dean Klevich. As expected, the other party first mentioned the lifting of the seal, and then asked: "Al, are you on good terms with that Master Hank? Can you find out what plans the demons have?"

"I just happened to contact him. Hank said he had no plans to do anything, but the seal suddenly broke by itself. The demons were very curious about the mortal world, so they all wanted to come out and take a look..."

The young man sighed, "Fortunately, the seal was only slightly broken, and the number of demons coming out is not as many as we thought. We should be able to control them."

The dean also got good news. He nodded and said, "Then we'll meet at the seal exit."

The long-lived alien race has countless old monsters who would rather lose the battle than the enemy. The deans of the two academies, together with the teachers and students who are good at fighting, and the Golden Knights sent by Her Majesty the Queen, thousands of people, under the operation of the God of Space Magic, reached their destination within one day.

Including the Mage and Sword Master Guilds that were relatively close to the Abyss Rift, they all sent people with high levels to rush over as quickly as possible.

But... facing a wilderness full of human beings, not a single alien was seen! Did they find the wrong place? Where were the demons? ?

The top expert carefully examined the long crack and finally stopped at one place, "It seems that only the seal here has a crack."

The Sword Master of the Sword Master Academy was looking down, but it was too dark and deep to see anything. He wanted to jump down to take a look, but his old friend grabbed his cloak.

The sword master sent by the queen frowned, "Didn't the intelligence we received say that there are many alien races here? Is it false news?"

"Several cities have already discovered the demons, and the demons that came out have either run far away or are hiding themselves."

But Klevich knew that this was unlikely given the demons’ willful nature. His tone became lower and lower, “Either… they have a very, very powerful leader who can make all the demons lie dormant and wait for orders.”

Everyone who heard it felt horrified.

The people from the Mages Guild became nervous and said in a bad tone, "Where are the people from the Holy See? They haven't come to repair this damn seal yet!"

A clear and gentle voice replied, "I'm sorry, but the seal is supported by divine power, and I'm afraid we humans are powerless."

The team of knights in silver armor stayed not far away, and the silver-haired saint led other high-ranking officials of the Holy See over.

The man who had just spoken became a little embarrassed when he saw who was coming. He had seen how the Son of God behaved when he cleansed the Chamber several decades ago, and had a good impression of him. He couldn't help but soften his attitude and asked in a negotiating tone, "Then I wonder if Your Highness can ask the God of Light to send down a miracle for the human race again, repair the seal, and prevent the terrible war from happening."

The silver-haired young man's eyes darkened. He remembered that he had just passed by the nearby cities and did not stop at those places, but the large expanse of faith floating towards the sky was particularly obvious in his eyes.

Thinking about the fact that the God of Light had realized the decline in faith and expressed his dissatisfaction not long ago... Ai immediately had a guess as to why the seal was suddenly opened.

He was sure that even if he summoned the God of Light, he would delay for a while, causing the human race to become frightened and start praying for his protection. Only then would he repair the seal and wait for the grateful human race to offer their faith again.

Thinking this in his heart, Al could only say, "Unfortunately, this place does not meet the conditions for summoning, but I believe that the Pope, who is in the Bishop's Court, will summon our God."

"Before the seal is repaired, I and other colleagues from the Holy See will be stationed here for a while and guard the front line."

The people around responded one after another, "Anyone who dares to come here is not a coward! Let's defend it together!"

"I haven't seen what the aliens from the abyss look like yet. Kill one and take it home to make a specimen!"

"I heard that vampires are afraid of silver objects. Throwing silver coins at them will cause great harm, hahahaha..."

…

The corner of Al's mouth twitched when he heard such arrogant words... Fortunately, the demons didn't hear it, otherwise it would be useless for him to stop them, and it would be strange if the two sides didn't fight to the death!

On that day, thousands of human beings set up tents nearby, and a steady stream of practitioners from all over the continent were on their way.

That night, when Al was thinking about how to convince everyone to let him enter the abyss alone to negotiate with the demons, there was movement at the seal.

Powerful demons suddenly appeared in front of everyone. They did not attack, but just showed up openly...

There were clearly only dozens of them, but when facing thousands of people, they still looked disdainful and arrogant.

Al frowned. Didn't he ask Samuel to keep them from running out? Wait for him to go down and negotiate.
