Chapter 7575. Secret Pass
The night owl was thrown out and flew in a parabola towards the oncoming crowd.
No matter they were knights or adventurers, everyone's eyes were focused on the shadow demon in the distance. No one cared what would happen if the weak Night Owl fell into the crowd.
Except for her three teammates.
Third-level magic—Wind Surge!
A strong wind wrapped around the grass leaves and blew the night owl high up as it was about to land.
Gar, who was rushing forward, leaped into the air, his muscles bulging under his armor. The moment he caught the Night Owl, he curled up and arched his back. His shin guards plowed two deep grooves in the grass at the edge of the square, preventing the Night Owl from suffering any harm.
Nova rushed over, put his palms together and pressed on the severed hand of Night Owl, and the emerald glow representing healing overflowed from between his fingers.
Night Owl seemed to have not lost consciousness yet. When he saw several teammates, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Nova stabilized her injuries and said angrily, "Are you a fool? You need to show off your prowess with so many experts here? What do you want?"
Night Owl explained weakly, "Before... I would hide in the shadows if I hadn't encountered it. I thought that those that I could detect wouldn't be too strong..."
"Then you should tell us!"
"It was too late. He was about to move..."
"Ah——" Nova had no words to say but to concentrate on healing Night Owl's wounds.
Ivan floated up and looked in the direction of the summoning circle.
The thick fog transformed by the Shadow Demon suddenly accelerated, and hundreds of distorted faces emerged from the dark fog.
A paladin just raised his tower shield and rushed over diagonally, but the mist brushed past the edge of the shield like a living snake.
The demon-destroying arrows hastily shot by three archers from the royal city penetrated the fog, but were crushed into powder by the surging demonic energy before reaching the core.
"Holy Light Barrier!"
A brilliant golden light burst out in front of the priests, but the shadow demon suddenly split into seven ghost shadows, which were wrapped in black smoke and cut into the magic circle from different angles.
The nearest young priest suddenly covered his throat and knelt down. His shadow was strangling himself on the ground, trying to strangle his real body.
A flaw appeared in the barrier maintained by all the forces, and before anyone else could remedy the situation, the Shadow Fiend got in.
The archbishop was still maintaining the final fluctuations of the formation and had no time to pay attention to other things, while the gray-robed wizard beside him took action.
The oak staff inlaid with golden magic crystals burst out with dazzling light.
Eighth-level magic—light prison!
Twelve giant swords made of light broke through the clouds and nailed the Shadow Demon's body into the ground with the force of thunder.
In the swirling fog, the shadow demons could be heard mocking: "Useless resistance!"
The imprisoned black fog suddenly collapsed inward, and then suddenly exploded.
The magic energy shock wave shattered the lightsaber into stardust, and the five priests closest to it fell on their backs with blood gushing from their ears and noses.
Even the gray-robed wizard staggered back half a step.
“Hahahaha!” Breaking through all obstacles, the Shadow Demon laughed wildly and waved his claws at the man in the formation, “Go to hell, human hero!”
Clang——
A giant sword collided with the shadow demon's claws and actually resisted his power.
“You…you…”
He had learned about the brave summons in detail.
The hero who just arrived should only be level 1.
Even if there was some powerful blessing from the gods, there was no reason why one could master it so quickly.
Not to mention the guy who was blocking him with a big sword now. It didn't look like he was using any abilities, but rather relying on his physical fitness to take the attack.
The shadow demon's elemental brain was working frantically.
"trap?"
"Wow! You're such a dark mess, but I didn't expect you to be so smart!"
Duke Amara on the opposite side smiled excitedly.
"It's a pity it's not an old bat. I've been wanting to tear them apart for a long time."
At this time, the Shadow Demon no longer had the energy to argue with him. His body shrank and he wanted to escape.
The archbishop in front of the formation finally completed the final step.
As the scepter fell heavily to the ground, a circular light curtain rose from above the formation, trapping the shadow demon inside without any blind spots.
Shadow Fiend doesn't realize now that he has been tricked.
What summoning of heroes? This is clearly a trap mixed with a teleportation array!
What's worse, another powerful maximum-level warrior who had been hiding in the knight team rushed out at this time.
Most of the seven major fighting forces of the United Kingdom are here! ?
Just to kill him!
"Eleanor! I know you are here! Come out and help me! There is still a chance to escape!"
Amara laughed wildly and swung the giant sword, leaving an afterimage, hitting the shadow demon again and again.
The Shadow Fiend is now intent on escaping and is being suppressed and put at a disadvantage.
He can only hope that Eleanor, who accepted the mission together with him, will help him destroy the magic circle from the outside, so that he can escape after paying a certain price!
But no matter how he screamed, the vampire never appeared - he had guessed this result...
"Eleanor! You (elemental curse word)..."
In the chaos, no one noticed a priest named Mena who quietly retreated to the edge of the square against the flow of people.
Then he slipped into the alley.
Fortunately, I was a step slow!
Otherwise, I would be the one trapped to death!
As for saving Shadow Demon?
She was full and went to risk her life to save others. Didn’t she see that humans were so well prepared?
The worst that can happen is that you'll get punished when you get back. Nothing is more important than your own life!
Eleanor turned around for one last look.
What we saw was the Shadow Demon who was trapped in the light curtain and was fighting against four strong men of the same level alone, and his weakness was finally discovered.
The restraint bracelet on his left arm was smashed to pieces, and his entire body could hardly hold on.
Without any guilt, Eleanor transformed herself into a bat and flew away quickly despite feeling a little weak under the sunlight.
The four warriors all noticed her aura when she transformed, but no one paid any attention to it.
It is difficult to catch up, the important thing is to eat the fat in front of you!
——
In the Western Islands, on an uninhabited island somewhere close to the mainland, several small boats were moored on the shore.
What few people know is that there is a hidden basement on the island.
At this time, a priest and nine pastors had just completed the final arrangements.
On the bluestone floor, a magic circle was drawn using rare materials. It was not complicated considering its purpose.
A priest asked doubtfully, "Is this really okay? Isn't the formation a bit too simple?"
The priest shook his head: "The formation itself is not difficult. The difficult part is getting the permission from the Lord of Light. After all, summoning heroes relies on the power of God."
It answered the pastor's doubts and was also meant for other people to hear.
Let them not be distracted during the prayer and cause unnecessary trouble.
The priest knelt on the ground first, and pious prayers came from the mouths of the crowd.
The summoning circle emitted a faint golden light as the prayers gradually rose.
When the priest finished praying and raised his head, two figures suddenly appeared in the halo——
The tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was clutching a blood-stained short blade and looking around with a frown.
A middle-aged man with dark hair, his trousers half pulled down, was sitting on the toilet, staring at his crossed hands with empty eyes as if in deep thought.
I'm glad that some readers guessed it was a trap. I gave several hints.
