Demon Royal Family

The battle ended, smoke billowed, and the believers fled.

Originally, the Barian Legion captured some believers alive, but the Archbishop killed them before escaping.

The night was dark and it was midnight, and the wind was whining low.

The Eye of Darkness suffered extremely heavy injuries and its vitality was severely damaged. The archbishop fled the battlefield with the remaining 124 believers. Among these 124 people, only seven deacons, including Paro, remained. Everyone was injured and looked depressed.

The archbishop showed no expression on his face and used the summons badge to summon the other bishops except Ivo.

Soon, the bishops who had escaped early met the archbishop, their faces as usual, and they did not feel ashamed for escaping from the battle, and the archbishop did not care.

Heidian snorted: "We encountered the Baria army. I knew I should have followed Lan Yan's advice, and now I have to train a group of cannon fodder." Huangshan shook his head, "It's gray."

Hun Shou said coldly: "The top priority is to check the faith contract."

The archbishop took out the parchment of the faith contract and said without any fluctuation in his tone: "Someone has tampered with the contents of the contract, and the contract has become invalid."

The bishops looked at each other, Heidian frowned and said: "The contract contains the power of Lord Darkness. To tamper with the content requires supreme power, or extremely sacred power. Anyone who has come into contact with the faith contract is suspicious." Barren Mountain: "Suspicious."

Sistine guessed: "There are undercover agents of the Holy See in the Order."

The archbishop's pure black pupils flashed slightly, "Where is Xie Bing?"

The bishops looked at each other, and then realized that Bishop Xie Bing did not respond to the call.

…

To the north of the battlefield, a dozen believers who had fled the battlefield were holding their knees and breathing heavily. Although they were tired from running away all the time, their faces were very excited.

"Hahaha, finally out of the control of the sect!" A believer shouted in ecstasy.

"This is what freedom feels like..." Another old believer shed tears and cried and screamed.

The fighting cultists of the Black Eye know that they are the cannon fodder of the Order, but due to the restrictions of the faith contract, they can only accept their fate and have to fight for the Order, at least they still have a glimmer of hope.

But now, the faith contract has lost its effect, and at least three to four hundred believers have fled.

In the Eye of Darkness, many believers do not truly believe in demons.

"No matter who breaks the faith contract, he is our benefactor!"

…

On the battlefield, the Barian army was cleaning the battlefield.

The commander of the cavalry brigade counted the casualties and found that more than 80 people died, 150 were injured, and more than 1,000 enemy troops were annihilated. The results were brilliant, and the credit of the night watchmen was among them. After the battle, the night watchmen were also exhausted. With all his strength, he helped the army clear the battlefield, but Orona left alone to track down the heretics, seemingly tirelessly.

The commander of the cavalry brigade suddenly asked: "Where is Adjutant Shaya?"

An officer replied: "I saw with my own eyes that Shaya left the battlefield with a group of cavalry and has not returned yet."

"Send a team to search for Adjutant Shaya."

…

After one hour.

It was quiet as Ivo trudged through the woodland.

A slight sound resounded in the dark jungle, like the sound of clothes brushing against leaves. Ivo's ears twitched and he immediately became more vigilant. He turned around and hid behind a tree.

"Someone is following me." This thought flashed through Ivo's mind. He turned around and hid quietly behind a tree. His nose was twitching, and he used the bear's sense of smell to capture the smell in the air and found a faint human smell.

Not knowing who the other party was, Ivo didn't want to act rashly. If it was normal, he might ask directly, but tonight there were so many powerful people and the situation was special, he felt it was best to be cautious.

There was a stalemate for five minutes, but nothing happened, as if the stalker disappeared out of thin air.

Ivo suddenly felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and found that some icy blue had appeared in the surrounding soil and was slowly freezing.

Ivo's heart moved, he jumped up suddenly, and climbed up the tree. Three seconds later, the ground completely turned into ice, and rays of mana flowed through the ice.

"As a mage, you are very agile."

Xie Bing walked out of the depths of the woods, holding a thick magic book with a sarcastic smile on his face: "I deliberately consumed a non-system magic gem and cast [Elemental Hidden], but I didn't expect that I would still be caught by you. Found the [Ring of Frost].”

"It's you..." Ivo's pupils shrank slightly, "What's your purpose of following me?"

Xie Bing smiled strangely, "You will know."

Suddenly there was a scroll in his hand, and he tore it open suddenly. The surrounding ice elements condensed, and an orange-gold symbol entangled with road vines appeared in mid-air. There was an illusion in the symbol. The illusion was the scene of the warm light of a fire. It emits waves of strange fluctuations, as if it can freeze people's thoughts.

Seventh-level ice magic, [Pokared's Rocking Chair].

This is a rare ice hypnosis spell. The ice element invades the spiritual level and freezes the mind. It is a high-level application of elemental spells.

Xie Bing looked at Ivo indifferently, waiting for Ivo to fall into a deep sleep. The reason why he chose ice hypnosis magic was because he mistakenly thought that Ivo was also a mage. Mage generally have magic tools to protect the soul. Simply Spiritual witchcraft may not be successful, so he found another way and chose the unpopular elemental hypnotic witchcraft. He was sure that he could defeat Ivo in one fell swoop.

What Xie Bing doesn't know is that neither mental hypnotic magic nor ice hypnotic magic has any effect on Ivo. The old virtue in the brain can easily awaken Ivo. After Ivo absorbed the Heart of Glacier, he obtained It has unparalleled ice resistance and is immune to most ice magic.

Of course, Ivo is only immune to mental control and cannot be immune to mental attacks. These are two situations.

The moment he was attacked, Ivo thought a lot. Xie Bing used a high-level spell scroll to hypnotize him, and he must have other intentions for him. He always felt that Xie Bing's intention towards him was related to the inside story of the Eye of Darkness, and maybe he could Take the opportunity to find out what the Dark Eye wants from him.

Ivo felt certain in his heart, pretended to be furious, activated the mana furnace, muttered some words and spelled out a spell, and raised his hand to shoot out a piece of ghostly fire. When the ghostly fire flew halfway, he pretended to be shaky, as if struggling to hold on to sleep, his eyes gradually blurred, The ghost fire lost its aim, missed the target, and hit a tree.

"You..." After dragging out a long sound, Ivo staggered down and lay down, pretending to fall into a deep sleep, and laughed secretly in his heart: "This wave of acting skills is simply a show off."

Xie Bing smiled proudly, holding the magic book and casting a spell. A summoning array appeared on the ground, and four skeleton soldiers appeared out of thin air to pick up the "sleeping" Ivo.

Xie Bing is a dual-system wizard who specializes in the elemental frost school and the undead summoning school. He walked in front and led the way. Four skeleton soldiers carried Ivo and walked in one direction.

Although Ivo pretended to be asleep, he was always on alert, thinking about Xie Bing's intentions.

Feeling the bumps of the four skeleton soldiers, it felt like walking on stone ground.

After a while, Ivo felt that his center of gravity was downwards, as if he was going downhill.

After pretending to sleep for more than an hour, I felt the skeleton soldiers stop.

Ivo's heart trembled, "We've arrived."

His eyes quietly opened a crack, and Ivo was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

This is a small canyon sandwiched between two hills. Ten meters away from Ivo, a huge magic circle with a diameter of thirty meters is arranged. In the center of the magic circle, stands a demon statue. The demon statue is pure black, like a ball. Thick shadows.

Xie Bing stood under the statue, bowed his head and prayed devoutly, his voice carried by the wind to Ivo's ears.

"Lord Darkness, believer Sike Dere has prepared sweet sacrifices for you and prays for your coming."

Thanks to Ziye Rihua, Jingyue Youzhu, Yecrowhun, Canglan Angler lz, Ma Lin Bloodhoof, and Leng Yuyue for their rewards.
