Chapter 183 The light is gone and darkness is approaching.
A cold light flickers over the market square.
Galen held the golden hilt and waved the giant sword resolutely.
Clang!
As the silver-white sword light flashed across, Aldo's head fell, and the surging blood poured onto the ground of the square like a fountain.
Boom!
Seeing Aldo's death, the crowd in the town burst into cheers, and everyone looked crazy.
At the same time, Aldo's body fell into the square.
Where they can't see, the dim black mist is entering their bodies through their open mouths and noses.
Gululu!
Aldo's head, dripping with blood, rolled to the feet of Judge Giselle.
The woman with the bronze wings emblem crossed Lux, squatted down, and looked into Aldo's angry eyes as if she had received revenge.
She was about to say something.
Suddenly!
A thick, chilling black smoke rolled out of Aldo's body, like the black mucus that was gurgling in the corpse pit, and it condensed into a black shadow in front of Judge Giselle.
It bared its teeth and claws, its eyes were filled with fire, and it burst out from its red head, roaring silently at the surrounding crowd.
“Ah!”
Judge Giselle was shocked, screamed loudly, staggered back, and accidentally fell to the ground.
But the dark ghost seemed to be staring at her, with thick black smoke passing through its body in an instant.
Then it vanished like embers in the wind.
Lux could feel its last breath at the moment of death. This energy was so evil and resentful, as if its existence was to show its power to mortals.
Judge Giselle could no longer bear it and cried in horror, seeking safety with her bloodshot eyes.
But Lux couldn't help but fall into a nightmare because she felt the presence of black mist again.
In the dark world, the decaying smell of the tomb fills the nose.
Lux saw her future, the fear of being buried alive in the mud, the fear of being expelled from Demacia by her brother, and the fear of many slow and painful deaths.
Buzz! Buzz!
The white light shines.
The power of refraction within Lux is fighting against these horrific sights.
And she also drove the smell of death out of her mouth and nose, and her breath was filled with light.
"Lux"
Galen frowned, clenched the giant sword in his hand, and walked over, trying to calm Lux's mood.
He thought Lux couldn't stand the bloody scene in front of her.
But after Lux woke up, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Even though there was a lot of noise around him, he fell into a nightmare again.
Lux put away all her emotions, looked away from the crying Judge Giselle, and landed on Galen.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she felt that the power of refraction in her body was turning into a huge surge, purifying the black mist that soaked into her internal organs.
The people in the town seemed to be under the influence of a spell.
Still motionless and silent, staring at them with dark eyes.
"Lux, what's going on?"
Galen looked at the people in the square with a gloomy expression.
The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion beside him went into alert state and gathered around their captain.
Hearing this, Lux blinked hard to drive away the last horrific scene imprinted in her mind, and looked along Galen's gaze.
In a flash!
The residents of Forsbarrow seemed to have been harvested by the god of death. They fell to the ground one after another, and the breath of life suddenly disappeared from their bodies.
Lux gritted her teeth and stood up holding her knees.
"What's going on?"
Huo Jixing let out a breath and stood behind Lux, unsheathing his long sword: "Look into the distance!"
As his words fell, Lux and Galen looked at the distant sky at the same time.
The blazing sun completely disappeared outside the city wall of Fosbello, and the almost solid black mist covered the sky over the town like a cover.
In the quiet market square, strange black and translucent shadows slowly rose from the unconscious residents.
Each black figure is different, like an army of demons that existed in ancient myths.
There are giant spiders, multi-headed pythons, demon warriors holding ice axes, huge dragons with black teeth and sharp teeth, and all kinds of things beyond ordinary people's cognition.
"Black magic, the power of the devil!" Galen looked solemn.
The experience of fighting in the Kingdom of Demacia over the years has allowed him to see many extraordinary things hidden beneath the kingdom.
These resurrected demonic armies are approaching everyone without any reason.
From a distance, it looks like a nightmare-like tide of fear, intent on drowning out all traces of life.
"I have a way to stop this."
Lux smelled the tomb smell in the air and completely understood the origin of the black mist, but her power could not stay here to fight.
Now she can only believe that with the power of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, she can fight against the demon army in front of her.
“How?”
Galen stared intently at the approaching demon army.
"Don't worry about what I do." Lux bit her lip, jumped up, grabbed Starfire's mane, and climbed onto the horse's back neatly.
"As long as you don't die before I come back."
"Where are you going?" Galen raised his brows slightly, suppressed his sadness, and asked.
“I told you so.”
"I'm going to pay homage to my great-grandfather Fosian!"
After hesitating for a while, Lux raised the golden cane in her hand and looked at Galen, Huo Jixing and others.
“For Demacia!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she rode Starfire, high above the array of demon warriors.
Galen and the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard raised their swords, struck each other's shields, and roared in unison.
"For Demacia!"
"For Demacia!"
Behind the Dauntless Vanguard Legion.
Huo Jixing sighed softly when he saw Lux's solemn gaze before leaving and the light magic condensed on the top of the golden cane.
The opportunity was now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he wanted to kill Galen and his fearless Vanguard soldiers.
But he looked at the demon army rushing towards him, and finally stood behind the array.
“We are the Fearless Vanguard!” Galen said in a solemn voice, and the four Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers behind him assumed a fighting stance.
Valya and Rodion stood on his left side, and Sebato and Diadoru stood on his right side.
"Let courage and sharp eyes guide your swords."
Galen took a step forward and swung his giant sword boldly, slashing at the charging demon warriors as if he was swallowing mountains and rivers with anger.
Sonorous!
Relying on clumsy skills, the Demacian greatsword accurately cuts through the demon warrior's blade and pierces the target's heart.
If it were a normal creature, this sword should have severed the spine.
But the demon warrior's body exploded into black dust, leaving a wail of severe pain.
Immediately afterwards, Galen and the Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers used solid shield walls and unsheathed swords to turn into rocks in the wave, firmly resisting the attack of the Demon Legion.
They use their near-perfect coordination and superb skills to bring the most efficient lethality.
With every fatal blow, the charging demon warrior will explode into a ball of ashes.
Huo Jixing also cooperated with them to kill the demon warriors who rushed over.
Originally, he wanted to paddle, but he realized that the data panel was eager for the ashes left after the death of the demon warrior.
He deliberately avoided the sight of Galen and others, quickly collected the ashes on the ground and handed them to the data panel.
[Congratulations to the host, you got 5 essence! 】
"Huh? Essence?"
Huo Jixing looked surprised when he heard the cold prompt from the data panel.
Immediately do two things, keep killing while calling out the panel, and see that the number of essences is increasing. "It's unbelievable that the ashes left behind after the death of these demon warriors can actually replace rune items and be used as essence." Huo Jixing couldn't hide his surprise.
He looked at the demon warriors who were advancing one after another, and a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes.
After all the seven Suzaku stars were lit up, he was extremely lacking in essence.
Since killing the demon warrior can obtain the essence, he will never let go of such a rare opportunity.
Huo Jixing glanced at Galen and the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion who were fighting the enemy bravely, and immediately rushed over.
Clang!
The red fire blade fell and chopped open the horned skull of the demon warrior.
Then, the sharp blade passed along the neck, cutting off the head, and a cloud of ashes fell.
Huo Jixing was so fierce that he stepped on his feet.
The terrifying force trampled the ground of the square, and the strong wind blew through Galen's array, pulling the ashes under their feet into their arms through spiritual traction, and then using the cover of black mist to collect them into their arms.
Galen, who was fighting, looked stunned when he saw Huo Jixing's killing action at this moment.
Huo Jixing's previous paddling battle still stayed in his mind.
It is completely impossible to tell that he is the same person as in the desperate scene now.
Galen had no way of knowing what caused Huo Jixing to change so much.
But he showed that his master skills were no less than his own, as well as his powerful and terrifying body material, which made Galen and the others face much less pressure.
Clang!
Galen swung his giant sword and sheathed it diagonally to block the attack of another demon warrior.
Then he turned his wrist, leaned his shoulders forward, and collided with the oncoming demon warrior.
Boom!
The demon warrior was directly knocked to the ground by Galen.
Galen followed up and stepped on the demon warrior's chest. With a click, the demon warrior let out a miserable howl, and his body was instantly shattered.
The Fearless Vanguard Legion soldiers behind Galen were no less generous.
Sebator decapitated a salivating demon hound, and Diadoru dug his shield into the ground and split a demon python in two.
Valya struck the fangs of a faceless demon with the hilt of her sword, while Rodion thrust the sword into the demon warrior's torso.
No one present is weak.
The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, with their physical fitness and skill level, are enough to rival normal extraordinary beings, otherwise they would not become the most elite legion in the Kingdom of Demacia.
The wild killings in the market square were like waves, one wave after another, crushing the incoming demon warriors.
But every time a shadow is destroyed, more shadows always come up.
“Hoo!”
Huo Jixing let out a breath, his strong body turning slightly red during the fight.
With his own skills and physical fitness, it is still too slow to kill these demon warriors.
Although these demon warriors looked extremely weak under the killings of him and Galen, their strength had reached the limit of normal extraordinary beings. Galen the Bark and the Dauntless Vanguard Legionnaires.
I can no longer suppress the killing in my heart.
They are not from the same group, so why are they still pretending to be pretentious?
Clang!
The red-gold Nanli fire covers the body.
In the diffuse black mist, Huo Jixing is like a flaming war god descending into the world, bestowing death on the demon warrior with the flaming blade in his hand.
【Suzaku·Crying】!
Huo Jixing turns his wrist, the force originates from the ground, transfers to his waist, and then releases it.
The red fire blade covering Nanli Fire easily cut through the diffuse black mist under the burst of power.
The next moment!
Over the market square, the fierce red-gold sword light flashed across like meteors dragging their tails, and countless crisp birdsong sounded.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the dark sky, fireworks bloom like this.
Half of the demon warriors scattered across the square disappeared out of thin air when the meteors fell.
The ashes left behind after their deaths were also burned by Nanli's fire, turning into a massive amount of essence.
Huo Jixing listened to the system prompts ringing in his ears, grinning with an undisguised smile.
Then he crossed the steps of the square, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and rushed towards the demon warriors who were coming one after another, killing them and harvesting the essence crazily.
The movement caused by the fire in Nanli instantly attracted the attention of Galen and others.
“The Devil-Taught One!”
Galen, who was fighting the demon warriors, looked at the blazing flames in front of him, his eyes solemn, and his inner premonition seemed to come true.
Lux is involved with the Demonic.
The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion beside them also noticed the changes on the battlefield and the scorching waves of air blowing from them.
In the diffuse black mist, they saw a god like a god from myths and legends, lowering flames to slaughter and burn the demons that were ravaging the world.
“It’s him, the Demonic One!”
Diadoru swung his sword to split open the demon warrior in front of him, looking at Huo Jixing with his sharp eyes.
Sebato stepped forward and killed the demon warrior in front of him neatly.
“Capture him.”
After Galen dealt with the demon warriors in front of him, he decisively issued the order.
The steel wave surged, and the blue cloak, like a shining beacon, cut through the black mist.
Huo Jixing, who was killing the demon warriors, seemed to be aware of it, turned sideways, and swung his knife.
Clang!
The silver sword blade and the red fire blade collided, brilliant sparks splashed out, burning the mist.
Galen looked at Huo Jixing in front of him, his sea-blue eyes filled with anger.
“Evil woe!”
Huo Jixing's pupils tightened when he heard this. What a familiar line.
Unfortunately, they are not from the same group.
“Don’t hinder me!”
Red-gold fireworks rose in Huo Jixing’s eyes, he picked up the blade in his hand and slashed towards Galen’s shoulder.
Seeing this, Galen advanced instead of retreating. He waved the giant sword in his hand like a steel storm, bringing Huo Jixing into his attack range.
Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous!
The blade collided with the sword body, making bursts of harsh metal friction sounds.
The forces of Huo Jixing and Galen collided with each other, creating strong shock waves. The surrounding air seemed to shatter like glass, with thin cracks appearing.
With the arrival of the steel storm, the raging black mist stagnated for a moment.
The dark atmosphere in the market square disappeared at the moment of the sword clash, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, and the demon warriors, including it, were turned into ashes.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Galen and Huo Jixing stepped back respectively, their heavy steps leaving deep footprints on the ground.
The two of them stared at each other, ready to continue fighting.
Outside the city wall of Forsbarrow Town, a bright white light broke through the black mist, shining like a tower to the sky.
"Lux!" Huo Jixing's heart moved.
He thought of Lux's solemn look before leaving, and his eyes fell on the few remaining demon warriors.
With Galen's obstruction, he may not be able to fully harvest the remaining essence.
On the contrary, Lux may have something new to gain.
Seeing Galen step forward, Huo Jixing immediately said: "Think about how to wake up these small town residents!"
Then, he unfolded his wings in the sky, blazing with flames. Incited, he rushed to the sky in an instant and left the town.
Galen was about to chase after them on horseback, but when he saw the town residents lying in the market square in front of him, he had to stop and guard them instead.
"Lux!"
Garen gripped the giant sword tightly and killed the demon warriors rushing in front of him, looking towards the north outside the town.
In the dark forest, the bright power of light is gradually disappearing.
