The new Tenth Lord arrives in the Material Plane.
Tenth Lord [Quasi-Ninth-Rank Demon]
HP 100% Fatigue 0/10,000 Mana 25789
His abilities were obviously inferior to those of the original Tenth Lord, but he was good at casting large-scale magic, regardless of friend or foe.
A large number of abyss monsters fell.
Likewise, his attacks also have an effect on magicians.
But this is just the beginning.
Two hours later, [Maria's Sigh] is no longer effective.
Eryi no longer has any silence magic to cast.
…
The mountains chosen as the battlefield became so bumpy that it was unrecognizable.
Magic and potions mixed with abyssal substances create a unique scent that can easily drive people insane if inhaled too much.
The magicians found a bottle, put the gas in it and sealed it, saying that it could be used for potion research in the future.
At some point in the sky above the mountains, a demon wrapped in a black robe and wearing a hood appeared.
The patterns on her robe were intricate, and one could vaguely see the abyssal characters mixed with broken divine language.
She held a white scepter in her hand and calmly watched as her fellow creatures fighting with the creatures of the material world turned into black pebbles one by one.
…
The abyss stopped releasing monsters again.
Some people are optimistic that perhaps this marks the end, that the abyss has reached the point where it is time to leave.
The continent of Nadus was in chaos. The war had already spread from the mountains, and even the more distant countries could not escape.
All the dragons were awakened.
They are not interested in the little reptiles of the Nadus continent, but the partition between the continents has been opened. They have been imprisoned in the Dragon Continent for a long time and want to get out and get some fresh air.
At this time, if there is something inappropriate that affects their appreciation of the scenery, they don't mind doing it.
The scenery of Nadus Continent, because of the abyss, is no longer as beautiful as I remembered. ——It's too dark, I can't see anything clearly.
This makes them unhappy.
The dragon clan intervened, giving people a chance to catch their breath.
…
Over the mountains.
The flying monsters emerging from the abyss consciously avoided a certain place. If you look closely, you can vaguely see a human figure there.
She used the scepter in her hand to write complicated words in the air, and spit out the abyss characters from her mouth, listening to the rhythm, just like the priests leading believers to pray to the gods.
Dark clouds stained by the dark element dropped icy rain.
Transparent rainwater seeped into the earth, and dark purple lines spread on the black stones that were not picked up, flashing with strange light.
…
The source of the anomaly has been discovered.
"I hope it's not what we imagined. After all, this record only appears in books from the past..."
The gods' servants were gathering in the square of the moving castle. A solemn old man was holding a strange-shaped pointer in his hand. The needle was vibrating violently and finally pointed to a location.
The old man began to judge the distance from the scale on the pointer.
"up in the air."
"Something's unusual. It's very close, less than two kilometers, yet it feels so far away..."
"Is it this direction?" A war priest wearing a purple hairpin said, "I'll go take a look."
He has a knight servant who rides a large flying bird.
"etc."
The old man stopped the priest from leaving.
Some things are hard to say, but with the ability of this priest, if he encounters a demon that creates abnormalities, he won't even be able to pass the message back.
"how?"
The war god priests all had bad tempers, and the atmosphere became a little tense as they went back and forth.
A half-baked priest who knew a little about divination was about to make an estimate based on the pointer's indication. He leaned over to the wall and looked up...
"Don't look for it, it's there!"
The priests stopped arguing, and a middle-aged priest who looked well-fed pushed him away from the wall.
"Where?"
"See it? That!" The half-baked priest pointed with his finger.
Surprisingly, the demon casting the spell was small and looked non-threatening.
She didn't exude a strong aura of the Abyss. Strictly speaking, she looked more like a human possessed by abyssal creatures. If you ignored the faintly magical formation beneath her feet, you wouldn't have noticed.
The War God Priest has a bad temper, but he does things decisively.
He had already memorized the blessing by heart, and before others could react, he had already entered combat mode and was giving a complete blessing to his subordinates.
His subordinate was silent and moved as quickly as the priest he served. He took the lead and led the priest to ride on the big bird, flying towards the demon not far away.
The companions of the Purple Hairpin War God Priest seemed to have long been accustomed to his temper, and soon they all entered combat mode.
"It's okay. If she is really the one we imagined, her combat ability is not very high."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, she has never appeared..."
Magic containing various elements swept towards the demon that cast the spell, emitting beautiful light, but it was useless to her.
It might not be quite right to say that the demon in the black robe has a powerful magical barrier.
All attacks directed at her would pass directly through her body, unable to cause any damage to her, as if she were not there at all.
…
Black mages, connected to the abyss, revel almost daily. They use magic to capture demons, make contracts, and kill demons to obtain abyssal stones that can be used to enhance their magic power.
They easily obtained what their predecessors could only dream of.
"I have enough material to make what I want. I have a bold idea."
They put these treasures away, of course not letting them get wet in the rain, but as more and more black stones began to change, those stones that were properly kept also began to change.
"Is this a mysterious omen? I always feel like I've seen it in books?"
"Is this the legendary one?"
"who?"
"Who else could have caused this kind of reaction from the creatures of the abyss?"
The black wizards went crazy: "If you make a contract with her, you can command all the monsters in the entire Nadus continent at will."
"That's a great idea! You must let her hear your thoughts. She will definitely smash your little brains out."
The other magicians disagreed.
"Impossible, this doesn't stand up to any scrutiny."
"There's no way a demon could have acquired this ability. That name? No, I won't tell it."
…
Royal capital.
The knights in the city are working hard to protect the residents from the demons.
The task of collecting the black stones scattered on the ground is undertaken by patrol teams with less strong combat capabilities.
They all placed the stones in a magic warehouse. The magic barrier could isolate external information, making it difficult for demons to find this place.
The patrolmen once again transported the black stones back to the warehouse.
Several team members opened boxes filled with black stones and prepared to pour the stones into the warehouse.
A young team member stared at the stones intently for a few seconds. "This is terrible! I must be dizzy from overexertion. I can actually see strange cracks on these stones."
"Look at it brightly. Maybe it's because it's too dark and my eyesight isn't good," another team member laughed and turned around. "Maybe not... I saw it too. What are these cracks?"
The oldest member of the team, holding the key in his hand, kept muttering to himself as he turned his back to the two of them: "I'm old and my eyes are still clear, how come you... God of Light, what's going on?"
The black stones in the warehouse gradually cracked and merged...
"Help!"
The curse becomes the nourishment that allows monsters to be reborn again, and the people who thought that it would end here fall into despair.
—Remember my name, Isabella.
…
Since entering the abyss, some fragments would occasionally flash through Eryi's mind.
Broken corpses and the earth submerged in darkness.
The Tree of Life is dead, and the elves are wailing.
Believers prayed day and night, but the gods did not respond.
The earth will eventually see light, and all people will lose their gods.
The abyss suffered the consequences of its own actions and was occupied by creatures from afar.
…
Desperate people are desperate to grasp at straws.
"The Pope of the God of Light fell into a deep sleep after summoning the divine messenger. It is said that he is unable to withstand the power from the divine realm."
"A few days ago, Maria's priest summoned a divine messenger to drive the demon back into the abyss, but she seemed fine. Can she do the same this time..."
"Come to think of it, she's reportedly piloting a moving castle right now. Maybe that's something she borrowed from the gods..."
The number of believers continues to rise, but the loyalty of new believers is not high. Most of them are believers of other gods, and Mary is their second belief.
Although loyalty is not high, faith is gradually increasing and is rapidly approaching 2 billion.
[Faith power has reached the standard, and the hidden skill conditions have been met. ]
[Congratulations on obtaining a new skill: Maria's Advent.]
[Confirm again, are you sure you want to use the skill Maria's Advent by consuming all your faith power?]
【yes】
A familiar spell appeared before Eryi.
“No wonder…”
Early morning.
Fluffy glowed, jumped onto the roof and began to howl.
"What's wrong?" Jory asked.
Unable to see the sun, they had no way of telling the difference between day and night. Their days and nights were reversed, and many people in the house were still awake.
Winnie leaned against the window: "Look, it's a shooting star."
"Really? Let mom take a look." Her mother was unusually patient. Even though she knew that the night sky could not be seen at all, she still agreed with her daughter.
The dark clouds hovering over the entire continent of Nadus split apart, and countless points of light fell from the sky to the ground.
The abyss monster was hit by these light balls and disappeared without even leaving any black stones.
The demons felt as if they were humans whose air had been sucked out of them and they couldn't breathe. There was a voice in their heads telling them that if they didn't leave now, they would disappear forever.
…
All creatures in the mountains stopped moving, their minds blank. In a blur, they saw a figure falling from the sky.
"who?"
"It's her."
Isabella's figure gradually faded.
The woman whose face could not be seen clearly floated in front of her and gently stroked her forehead, and the restraint of the abyss's will on her was mostly removed.
The entrance to the abyss behind has been closed, and the abyss is moving away from the material world.
She is leaving too.
…
Before sunrise.
The land polluted by the abyss has regained its vitality, and the cursed life has all returned to normal.
--clang.
The sound of bells floated over the continent of Nadus.
Legend has it that in the center of the divine realm stands a giant pendulum clock, which chimes three times whenever a god is born.
Whenever a god passes away, six tolls are sounded.
After three rings, the bell still did not stop.
People found that they seemed to have forgotten something, the words in the Holy Book of Mary changed, and the names of gods disappeared.
But that's not that important.
It's dawn.
