On the way to the Iron Fort, Gallagher frowned and asked, "Leopold, it has been so many days since you first encountered the summoner. Could he have run away?"
“It’s possible!”
Leopold nodded and said, "After all, Buckle also went there once. As long as the summoner is not stupid, he can guess that there will be more people going there later. If Fred hadn't stopped me and insisted on gathering everyone for a meeting, I would have gone to the Iron Fortress when I descended yesterday."
"snort!"
Fred, whose face was hidden under the hood, snorted coldly.
Gallagher glanced at Leopold and the corner of his mouth twitched in disdain.
If Fred hadn't stopped Leopold yesterday, the latter might have found the summoner.
But after Leopold got Pandora's Box, he would never tell anyone else.
Fred was silent for a while, then said to Leopold, "Tell me about the characteristics of that summoner!"
Leopold: "A young human with black hair and black eyes, standing out among the dwarves."
"Speed up and try to find the target person before the God Hunter arrives!" After saying this, Galah suddenly increased his flying speed.
Including Monlisa, there are thirteen "Striders" who have descended.
Currently, only Fred and three others are at level nine, the others are at level six!
After Buckle's body was killed, it did not come back again.
Monlisa is not here.
So there are still eight sixth-level [Striders] on the ground quickly approaching the direction of the Iron Fortress.
But their speed was far slower than that of Fred and the other two who were flying.
…
A few hours later, the outline of the Iron Fort came into view of Fred and the other two.
"arrive!"
There was a flash of excitement and anger in Leopold's eyes.
It was here that his body was beheaded and thousands of loyal believers were lost.
As for that summoner, he wished he could suck out his soul and make him endure ten or even a hundred years of torture!
But before that, he had to get Pandora's Box.
The dwarf soldiers who were guarding their posts on the city wall suddenly saw three streams of light approaching at a very fast speed in the sky outside the city.
"Captain, look what that is?"
After hearing the team members' reminder, a dwarf captain took a look.
At this time, three streams of light had arrived above the Iron Fortress.
The dwarf captain squinted his eyes and looked at the monster suspended in the air, shocked and confused at first.
Then he thought of the information Kim had told them before - the Iron Fort might be attacked by a ninth-level warrior.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Blow the horn and prepare for battle!"
Woo~~~!
The dull sound of the horn was like a hammer hitting their chest, causing the dwarves who were evacuating the city to pause.
When someone pointed at the three monsters floating in the air, expressions of fear appeared on the faces of the evacuating crowd.
There were some dwarves who were reluctant to evacuate.
Because they feel that it is not easy to encounter a strong person at the ninth level.
But now, it is not clear whether the three flying in the sky are ninth-level, but they are definitely high-level!
“So fast!”
Kim and the other two turned their eyes away from above and urged the dwarves to evacuate through the tunnel or hide in nearby buildings.
Although they also knew that hiding in the building was of no use in the face of such a powerful enemy.
An Nuo, who was helping nearby, did not expect these [Striders] to arrive so quickly.
An Nuo recognized two of the three figures above.
Leopold and Gallagher.
But these two men were vaguely led by the third.
"Three ninth-level players, there's no way we can fight them!"
An Nuo instantly lost the desire to fight.
With my skinny arms and legs, I would be seeking death if I go up there.
"Strange, so strange!"
An Nuo, who was hiding, was full of doubts.
Didn't Gallagher go to 'interrogate' Leopold?
He doubted that a ninth level would attack the Iron Fortress, and he doubted that Leopold would do so.
But why are there three of them now?
Time is so tight.
Is it because he killed Leopold's body before that the other party came to seek revenge, to show that his divine power is inviolable?
At this time, An Nuo had no idea that the other party was attracted by the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
Above the Iron Fort.
Fred and Gallagher scanned the city, searching for any human presence.
And Leopold was looking for Adelaide.
Although he came with two other people, Leopold still wanted to get Pandora's Box first.
It is certain that you should share it with others, after all, if you regret it, you will be besieged.
But sharing is sharing, and it is better to keep the ownership of Pandora in your own hands.
After obtaining Pandora, Leopold's voice among the gods will be greatly enhanced.
“Found it!”
Leopold searched the city for a while and soon found Adelaide.
This guy is so big that he is very conspicuous even when hiding in a building.
whoosh!
Leopold's figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards Adelaide.
"Um?"
Fred and Gallaher noticed this and their faces changed, and they immediately followed.
"roar!"
Adelaide, who was discovered, roared at Leopold in the air, but was soon forced to the ground by the huge pressure, unable to move.
"No?"
Leopold attacked directly, reducing buildings near Adelaide to rubble.
He controlled the force so as not to kill Anno.
But apart from a group of ordinary dwarves who were killed or injured, there was no sign of Anno.
"Tell me, where is that human?"
Leopold landed in front of Adelaide and punched her in the chest, piercing her with a beam of light.
Adelaide's body flew backwards and smashed a row of houses.
Adelaide, who was nearly dying from the blow, raised her head with all her might, opened her mouth wide towards Leopold, and blew out a small flame.
Seeing this, Leopold grabbed the neck of a nearby injured dwarf and asked, "Where is the human who helped you before? If you don't tell me, you will all die!"
The threatened dwarf looked at Leopold closely and his legs trembled like sieves.
He glanced at the injured and wailing dwarf beside him, and looked at his wife and son, tears streaming from his eyes.
"No...I don't know!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Leopold's eyes, and he asked coldly: "What did you say?"
Faced with such a brutal monster, would he let go of his family and compatriots even if he was told where his benefactor was?
Obviously, no!
It was this monster that destroyed the Iron Fort last time.
The dwarf shouted at the monster in front of him with all his strength: "I don't know!"
Snap!
The dwarf's head was crushed and blood splattered all over Leopold's face.
Then he turned around, looked at the other dwarves and said, "Before I dismember the dragon, if anyone of you can tell me what I want to know, I will let all the dwarves in this city go. Otherwise, this will become a dead city!"
Leopold's voice was loud and echoed throughout the city.
All the dwarves trembled when they heard the sound.
When Annno, who was hiding on the other side, heard that Leopold was about to dismember Adelaide, his lips were bitten until they bled.
"Master, don't go out!"
With tears on her face, Ella grabbed Annuo's arm and said, "I can feel that Adelaide thinks so in her heart. She wants us to survive!"
“Hiss, huh!”
An Nuo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Although he had never seen the ninth level take action, he had seen seventh level magic used against war weapons.
Destroying a city like Iron Fort shouldn't be a big problem for a ninth-level warrior.
[Evil King's True Eye] can now last up to thirty minutes.
An Nuo can hide in the Evil King's territory and avoid the attacks of the ninth level.
With any luck, Leopold might be gone in thirty minutes.
But the problem is that [Evil King's True Eye] can only pull one target into the Evil King's territory at present.
Ella, Adlard, and Sasir were not summoned by Anno, so the summoning space could not be taken back.
Liz is a mandatory contract object of the [Sacrificial Spirit] and cannot be called back like other summoned creatures.
In other words, An Nuo can only protect one person at present.
"【Shadow Summon】!"
Anno summoned Shadow, who walked out without saying a word.
He planned to use his shadow to delay for a while, attract the other party's attention, and then find a way to escape.
"Hey, are you looking for me?"
Shadow's voice echoed down the street.
Leopold, who was approaching Adelaide, turned suddenly and ran in the direction of the sound.
Fred and Gallagher also chased after him at the same time.
"Lord Anno!"
Kim and the other two who ran over as well as the nearby dwarves saw Anno surrounded by three enemies in the small square.
"Why is it this person?"
The moment he saw Anno, Gallagher was stunned.
Isn’t this the human being captured by Monlisa?
Could it be that Monlisa was deceived and then killed by this person after she left?
"No?"
Leopold glanced at Anno's body and did not find Pandora's Box.
"I said, are you fake?"
Leopold narrowed his eyes.
He knew that the summoner had the ability to summon shadows!
"Whether it's true or not, I tell you, if you hand over Pandora's Box, I can let everyone in this city go. Otherwise, all the dwarves here will die because of you!"
Shadow was startled, but pretended to be ignorant and asked with a frown, "Pandora's Box, what is that?"
Gallagher reminded from the side: "It's the red square box that you can't put into the space equipment!"
Fred even said directly: "Leave it to me, I will ensure that you will not die, the God of Contract is my witness!"
Upon hearing this, Leopold immediately turned around and yelled at Fred: "Fred!!!"
The three of them looked at each other and went forward to grab An Nuo at the same time.
Even if this is a fake, they have the means to use the fake body to locate the real one.
Shadow was locked down by the pressure of three ninth-level [Godwalkers] and couldn't move at all, and couldn't resist.
Just as Fred, who was the fastest, was about to catch Anno, suddenly a red flame fell from the sky and hit Anno.
boom!
The huge explosion blew away Leopold and the other two people around him.
Then a majestic voice resounded throughout the Iron Fortress.
"How dare a group of low-ranking gods break the rules and attack my followers without permission? Are you trying to start a war between gods?"
