Harrington waved his hands, and golden alchemical lights poured out from his palms, interweaving into complex magic circles in the air, and instantly transformed into countless sharp golden blades, sweeping towards the seventh-level demons who were blocking him; Michelle whispered ancient spells, and a huge magic book appeared in front of her. The pages turned automatically, emitting a mysterious purple light, and purple runes flew out like meteors, attacking the enemy.
However, as soon as they took action, they were stopped by a demon of the same seventh level. The demon's wings were dozens of meters wide when spread out, and a black magic storm surrounded its body. Every time it flapped its wings, it would stir up a gust of wind. Black magic lightning would spurt out of its mouth from time to time, making a "sizzling" sound. Wherever it went, the air was filled with a burnt smell.
One of the demons had a human body and a snake tail, with bulging muscles in the upper body. He held a huge trident in his hand and danced with great vigor. The cold light on the trident flashed, and when it collided with the teachers' magic swords, a crisp golden sound was made and sparks flew.
Some demons are like ghosts, with erratic movements. They can instantly shuttle between space cracks and attack teachers unexpectedly. They hold a short curved blade in their hands, which is coated with a highly poisonous substance and has a faint green luster. Just a slight scratch can cause the wound to fester quickly.
The teachers of the Arcane Academy cast powerful elemental magic, summoning raging fires, raging floods or howling gales, sweeping towards the demons; some teachers used sophisticated space magic to create small space traps on the battlefield, trapping the demons if they accidentally stepped into them, unable to move; some teachers united together to cast a large protective magic circle, shining brightly, to keep the demons' attacks out.
Merlin was a little dumbfounded. The peaceful and comfortable life had paralyzed him, making him forget that this was actually a world full of dangers.
He shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself: I am really "lucky" to have such a thing that can be recorded in history happen suddenly, but this "luck" is too heavy.
But at this moment, it is obviously not the time to watch these teachers fight!
He looked up at the battlefield in the sky, and saw that the sudden appearance and fierce attacks of the demons caused the teachers of the Arcane Academy to suffer a lot in their hasty resistance. Many teachers had torn clothes and bruises on their bodies, and the light of their magic seemed a little dim.
Fortunately, after some difficult negotiations, the magic airship finally landed smoothly, avoiding greater losses.
Merlin took a quick look and felt a little relieved. After all, the number of these demons was still far less than that of the teachers in the Arcane Academy.
However, Merlin soon noticed something strange; the actions of this group of demons were odd.
They seemed to be attacking frantically, but their actual purpose did not seem to be to kill the teachers, but to delay time.
This was not only something that Merlin keenly noticed, but also the battle-hardened teachers at the Arcane Academy.
But they were full of anger, but had no way to quickly kill these demons. After all, at the high-end combat power level, the gap between the two sides was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
Although there are a large number of sixth-level teachers in the Arcane Academy, there are only three seventh-level teachers.
On the other hand, there are five seventh-level demons on the demon side. These five people are like five towering mountains. With their extraordinary strength, they are enough to restrain two-thirds of the teachers of the Arcane Academy, making them exhausted and unable to cope with them.
As for the remaining one third of teachers, they have to be on guard against harassment and sneak attacks from other demons at all times, and the situation is precarious.
"What exactly are these demons stalling for?" Merlin frowned, his mind filled with doubts.
Wait a minute, where are the people from the Ancient God Cult? Since there is a forbidden magic area, the people from the Ancient God Cult must be there too. However, Merlin has not seen anyone from the Ancient God Cult since the battle began.
"Where are they?" Merlin muttered.
"Merlin!" "Merlin!" Yuna and Lilia's clear voices suddenly rang out. Merlin looked in the direction of the voices and saw the student union members of the Arcane Academy rushing to the city hall like a tide.
Most of them have childish faces but firm eyes. They hold their wands tightly in their hands and look at the demon in the sky, looking eager to try.
After the airship landed, students from the Arcane Academy also rushed to support, but unfortunately, most of the first-year students were terrified and trembling. It was obvious that they had lost their ability to fight under the pressure of this forbidden magic field.
Even among the second-year students, not many could remain calm and display their combat effectiveness in the forbidden magic area. As for the third-year seniors, they took on most of the main work without hesitation. They shuttled through the streets, engaging in fierce battles with low-level demons and mutated plague rats.
Merlin came to his senses upon seeing this and gave decisive orders: "Let the first-year students take charge of the logistics support work, help carry supplies and treat the wounded; the second-year students who have the fighting capacity will cooperate with the third-year students to clean up the streets and kill the rats that escaped from the sewers!"
At the command, the students acted quickly. Although they were immature, they added a bit of order to the chaotic situation.
Suddenly, Merlin seemed to be struck by lightning. He suddenly realized something and stared at the sewer under his feet. He seemed to understand where those guys from the Ancient God Cult were hiding in an instant.
The sewers of the Arcane City are intricate and complex, like an underground maze. Because the Arcane Capital was a "patchwork" city, the sewer system had no reasonable planning at the beginning. During the rapid development of the city, this hidden danger was gradually buried.
Merlin had forgotten this when he was developing the Arcane City.
Thinking about it now, the harsh environment of the sewer, dark, damp, and filthy, directly became a breeding ground for the spread of the plague.
Moreover, if there is any place in the Arcane City that he does not have complete control over, it is only here!
"The Ancient God guys are definitely hiding in the sewers. They must be doing something evil that cannot be disturbed. What are these lunatics in the cult doing?" Merlin was more and more shocked. Thinking of the conversation with Wendel just now, the answer seemed to be about to come out. "The Plague God! Damn it, is there something related to the Plague God under the Arcane City?"
Merlin's face turned pale when he thought of this. He knew very well that if this was true, the severity of this crisis was far beyond his imagination.
Merlin stood on the no longer bustling streets of the Arcane City, looking at the chaotic scene of the fierce battle between demons and magicians shrouded in a purple barrier in the sky. His heart was filled with absurdity and helplessness. He wondered more than once: Did I get the wrong script now? How could such a major event that could be recorded in history books suddenly break out without any warning, leaving him no time to prepare at all? It was simply too ridiculous, as if life was running at double or triple speed. How could such an outrageous thing happen in reality?
