The sky over the capital city was plunged into darkness, like a deep, inverted abyss.
"What...what happened!?"
The crowd watched as the spreading ink gradually filled the sky, swallowing their hopes.
Some mages in the academy tried to release sparks from their hands to illuminate their surroundings, but no matter how hard they tried, not even a single spark could be produced.
"Oh no! Magical chaos!"
A monk suddenly cried out in surprise.
An even more terrifying and intense sense of negativity surged towards the mages.
Those mages who were able to stand before were now unable to stand steadily.
As they fell one by one, Gwen's unease gradually grew.
Her intuition told her that perhaps it wasn't just the college that was facing a crisis.
The entire capital may be plunged into peril.
"Look! What's that!"
Several students pointed to the hill behind the academy and exclaimed in alarm, and an atmosphere of fear instantly filled the crowd.
The gradually transparent barrier has allowed them to see things outside.
However, the scenery that came into view was unforgettable for them.
The demon's form began to expand rapidly, devouring everything in its path.
The back mountain of the academy could not withstand the intense pressure and began to collapse. However, the rocks did not fall. Instead, they were wrapped by the tongues on the demon's body and sent into the bottomless mouth.
It even gnawed a piece off the sky, like shattered glass, leaving nothing but emptiness and a whooshing sound.
"That...that one, is it the demon?"
"The...devil who rescued Professor Devon?"
Panic spread throughout the college.
Even the outside world witnessed this catastrophe-like chaos.
For the first time, the royal family finally took this disaster seriously, and the army was mobilized, with a large number of mages rushing towards the academy in carriages to provide support.
In an instant, screams, the sound of carriages, and the sound of mountains collapsing filled the entire capital.
...
Kevlar was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, breaking several thick, giant trees before falling silent.
The demon chuckled as it watched the fallen demon hunter and its own ever-growing body.
"Thanks to you, little girl."
"Although I'm still a bit short, I can't be too greedy."
The little girl the demon spoke of was none other than Henney.
It never imagined that an ordinary person it randomly approached would have such a profound knowledge of magic.
This is an incredible gift for the devil.
Under its influence, Heni borrowed immense power from it.
It also erected a magic-absorbing array in human academies that even it could not have imagined.
The complex array, composed of countless different arrays, requires even a fourth-tier mage a significant amount of time to analyze.
Hene used this formation to draw upon enough magic to fulfill her desire for revenge.
However, all of this benefited it.
As long as the magic circle remains, the mages can continuously provide it with magical power, allowing it to grow stronger.
At this moment, even the demon no longer wanted to eat Heni.
The knowledge within Hene's mind made the demon feel an insatiable greed for knowledge for the first time.
Demons generally don't kill traders easily, especially excellent traders like Henney.
At this moment, a faint light occasionally emanated from its body.
That is the academy's countless mages continuously absorbing magic power, constantly providing it with magic power to replenish itself.
The magical power within his body continued to increase.
It was more than dozens of times what it had given to Hene.
In a sense, Hene has already paid off all her debts; she no longer needs to taste the other.
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed, and Kefla emerged unharmed, wielding her silver blades in reverse, charging towards the demon.
Witchers have a bonus when facing demons, but they also lose some of their sanity.
But when it comes to fighting demons, it is clearly more advantageous to rely on instinct.
The demon's massive maw was instantly torn open, and countless black tentacles spewed out from between its fangs.
It impatiently swung its hand, sending Kefla flying hundreds of meters away.
However, she remained steadfast and charged forward time and time again, each time managing to inflict some damage on it with the weapon made of her special metal.
Although the damage is not high, it is extremely insulting.
The demon gradually became agitated. Despite its opponent being so weak, the opponent swarmed around it like a fly, impossible to swat away.
At that moment, a magical glimmer suddenly appeared.
A purple array gradually formed between Erica's hands, with every line and rune meticulously inscribed.
She clasped her hands together, and the space around the demon instantly tore apart, like clouds of stars appearing out of thin air. Dozens of purple chains burst forth from them and pierced into the demon's body.
[Second-Tier Magic: Nebula Lock]
"It's a success!"
Erica was both surprised and delighted. Fortunately, she had learned this magic from Victor. She never expected that the first time she would use it would be against such a powerful enemy as a demon.
The demon immediately felt its magic power being blocked and turned its attention to the chains that had severed its magical channels.
"Ugh, annoying mage."
It suddenly broke free, and the surrounding mountains trembled with its movement, causing one astonishing rock after another to fall.
Not long after, the chains shattered instantly.
But being able to contain it for a period of time is enough.
