Chapter 48: Chapter 48

"Quickly, fire them! Don't hold back! We absolutely can't let those Abyssal demons get close! Blast them away!!"

Atop the walls of Galros Fortress,

Facing the encroaching pressure of death, Krimed had become somewhat hysterical, continuously roaring.

Hearing his words, the conflicted mages exchanged glances but eventually chose to obey the command.

They increased their output of military magic, and a continuous barrage of fireballs rained down on the black ocean like monsters under the fortress!

Witnessing this scene,

The vice leader felt extremely uneasy.

Gritting her teeth, she couldn't help but run to Krimed's side.

"Lord Krimed! Shouldn't we cover for the asumos knights and get them into the city first?! No matter what, they have signed a temporary treaty with our Snowy Night Empire! Isn't it completely inappropriate to fire our allies like this? This will likely lead to diplomatic repercussions in the future..."

"Who cares if it's appropriate?!"

Hearing the vice leader 's words, Krimed frowned, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her in front of him.

"The Abyssal demons are already attacking! Finding a way to stop them is our top priority! As for those church knights, who cares what happens to them? They're just a bunch of swindlers who use the Goddess's name to deceive and exploit others! Let them die! It doesn't matter if they were killed by our mans We'll just say they were killed by the Abyssal demons later! No one will blame us!"

"But, but..."

"But what?! Just follow my orders! Besides, with so many Abyssal demons chasing them, who knows if those people haven't been infected? Maybe they're already infected and beyond saving! Just treat them like Abyssal demons! So, stop your endless chattering! If you keep talking, I'll throw you down to feed the Abyssal demons!"

Krimed's eyes were already filled with terrifying murderous intent,

Frightening the vice leader into silence.

Seeing the vice leader with nothing to say, Krimed once again focused his attention on the mage troops standing on the platform nearby and tirelessly urged,

"Hurry up! You useless lot! Increase your power!! We absolutely cannot... Huh?!!"

However,

Before Krimed could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed as a black beam of light abruptly entered his line of sight!

?!

Huh?!

What is that?!

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a cloud of dust, and the rapid spread and eruption of black Shadow power! The entire platform, including the eight Magi standing above, was instantly enveloped in black energy!

Under the horrified gazes of Krimed and the soldiers, the enormous red magic circle and the entire platform suddenly collapsed! The eight powerful mages were instantly engulfed by the black energy, and amidst the sounds of unbearable agony, they were corroded into puddles of blood!

The shockwave from the explosion rapidly spread, instantly shattering several nearby soldiers into pieces.

Although she really wanted to cut down this foolish man who had nearly caused her death, considering that they were still in Galros Fortress and on Krimed's territory, Meng Xi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Trying her best to speak in a calm and peaceful tone, she said:

"Mr. Krimed, please rest assured, we have not been infected. Our vital energy..."

However,

Before Meng Xi could finish, Krimed rudely interrupted her words.

"Who knows if you're lying or not! If you're truly not infected and not hurt by the Abyssal demons, then strip off your clothes and armor to prove it! If you can't prove it, then get the hell out of here!"

I refuse to believe that after being chased by the Abyssal demons for so long, you don't have a single injury!

Even if it's a wound from a fireball explosion! As long as there's a wound! I'll insist that it was the work of the Abyssal demons! Then I can 'rightfully' throw you all out! It would be easy for me to silence my soldiers! As long as you're dead, no one will know about this!

With these thoughts, Krimed couldn't help but reveal a creepy smile.

Seeing this smile, Meng Xi bit her lip.

At this moment, she had already guessed Krimed's intentions.

"Krimed, you... "

On the other hand,

After hearing Krimed's words and guessing his intentions, not only Meng Xi but also the pink-haired girl in her arms shared the same thoughts. An extremely dissatisfied emotion emerged in the girl's mind.

'It seemed,'

'They had been at ease for far too long,'

'To think that someone like this could become a fortress commander...'

As Krimed continued to say words that were nothing but oppressive, an undetectable crimson light shone in the beautiful blue eyes of the pink-haired girl. Far away, a little eight-eyed creature in the Abyssal demon horde suddenly lifted its head...

Of course,

Krimed would never notice these details. At this moment, he had already drawn the sword at his waist, preparing to forcefully drive Meng Xi and the others out of the fortress.

"Sorry everyone, since you can't prove your innocence, then I can only... huh???"

However,

Before Krimed could finish his words,

A surge of black light suddenly erupted in the distant Abyssal demon horde!

An ice-cold, murderous black beam whistled towards them from afar! Caught off guard, it accurately hit Krimed's head without any deviation!

"Huh???"

After a brief exclamation,

Under the panic-stricken gazes of the Galros Fortress soldiers, Krimed's words came to an abrupt halt.

His head and upper body were instantly engulfed by the black energy, turning into a nauseating viscous black liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Yumo: Hmph~~
