Sorry for not posting the past three days, I did some modifications so it took some time to rewrite some events.
------
Shermen momentarily diverted her attention to contact the Sorcery Demon and the Wisdom Demon using the secret methods of the demon race.
As a result, Ariel, the deranged noble young lady, seemingly more venomous than the demons themselves, immediately got energized again, especially after she fully heard the elf's dying message to Reji.
Ariel clearly did not recognize the elf race.
But from the conversation just now, she could mostly guess that these blond green-eyed individuals were not some mud race foreigners, but very likely another type of nobility.
However, none of that mattered now.
Ariel's expression was incredibly agitated, giving Reji a look as if to say "you're dead".
The reason was very simple.
"What did Ariel hear? Demons! He just mentioned demons! The demons are coming back to the earth, Ariel's true kin are returning!!
Hahaha!!"
"It's useless, no matter how many people you call, it's useless! Useless! Hahaha!"
Ariel naturally assumed that Reji was scared, panicking, and in a hurry to call more humans over, to report the intelligence that the demon race might reappear to the higher-ups, to discuss countermeasures.
This "Demon Egg" carrier, who recognized the "demon race," obviously knew much more about the "historical" truth of a thousand years ago than other ordinary humans.
Therefore, Ariel was so excited when she heard "the reappearance of the demon race."
"A thousand years ago, you hypocritical followers of the Radiant Church, slandered the demons cultivator who worshipped 'Immortality' as aliens, expelled them from humanity, vilified our kin as horrifying monsters, using terms like 'monstrosities' and 'demons' to refer to us, attempting to prevent humans from pursuing eternal life."
"And what happened? The ignorant sages of a thousand years ago succeeded, but what about a thousand years later? Hahaha! The people who stopped the demons back then have all turned into skeletons, into dirt.
What's left after a thousand years are just masses and masses of inferior, lowly mud races! Only the followers of 'Immortality', only we demons, remain eternal and indestructible!"
"To be called the same race as these mud races is simply a disgrace to Ariel! Since you all call us demons, then we are demons!"
"You can't stop us, no one can! With even a fourth-tier spell lost to you, what do you have to stop us. Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
Actually, Reji didn't mind letting Ariel rant a bit longer.
Because people tend to reveal more truths when they are emotionally charged.
Unfortunately.
*Buzz!*
Suddenly, from beneath their feet, a spell seal emitting a deep blue light began to flicker, quickly forming in the blink of an eye.
With the emergence of the blue light seal, a powerful force of sorcery immediately swept through the entire basement.
It was a skeletal undead standing four to five meters tall, its entire body made up of bones.
Its hollow eye sockets burned with vigorous nether flames, and its seemingly pale skeleton actually contained immense strength. Just standing there, it emitted a terrifying aura that made Ariel shiver uncontrollably, trembling all over.
The most terrifying aspect was that these towering undead, which Ariel had never seen before, were not just one or two, but five, ten, twenty... The void rifts kept tearing open space, and the high-ranking undead crawling out from them seemed endless.
This was not a seventh-tier sorcery.
It was an eighth-tier ritual[Army of the Undead]
The best proof of this was that these undead were differentiated into various ranks, some wielding giant bone shields, others carrying serrated bone swords, some dual-wielding bone spikes, and some clutching bone staves.
Of course, no matter how diverse, fierce, or powerful these undead professions were, they shared one commonality that remained unchanged.
That was.
They all began to swarm towards Reji's position.
Shield-bearing undead stood in front of Reji, bone sword-wielding undead followed closely on both sides, like the most loyal guards.
Assassin undead remained vigilant around, while mage undead began to wave their bone staves, casting layer upon layer of protective barriers on Reji.
The basement, which had been quite spacious just a moment ago, was instantly filled with undead.
And at the very center, Reji, who was surrounded by high-ranking undead in an impenetrable formation.
Reji: "."
Fortunately.
After three consecutive barriers flickered beneath his feet, there was finally not a fourth one.
Actually, there was.
But this one was a camouflage barrier. From the outside, one would notice a huge dark dome completely enveloping the airspace above the Count's manor, concealing and hiding the entire manor's aura in the dead of night.
After all this.
Right next to Reji, a rift portal was constructed, and soon after, the figure of Sorcery Demon Dian could be seen rapidly materializing within.
Because the Sorcery Demon's own strength was so formidable, the teleportation magic required more time.
And those sorceries before were probably because the Sorcery Demon was in a hurry; before his body arrived, he cast a few seventh-tier magics from afar to assist himself, or, to resolve the dilemma?
Reji guessed correctly.
As soon as Dian completed the teleportation, his body arrived, and the Sorcery Demon immediately rushed over to Reji, vigilantly sensing his surroundings.
Though wearing a crow mask, one could still clearly feel Dian's utmost seriousness and dedication.
Another strong piece of evidence was that the Sorcery Demon even took out his crow staff. At the level of a Sorcery Demon, needing to use the "crow staff" for assistance would only be for ninth-tier, tenth-tier, or even "transcendent" ritual sorceries.
