After prying open the chest, the team members skillfully pulled out grenades, yanked the safety pins, and commenced an unconventional feeding.
Who says the Holy See is set in their ways and not adaptable, they’re clearly keeping up with the times!
The intelligence of the red-lipped gape from Hell is average, no, it doesn’t possess intelligence at all, it subconsciously opens its mouth awaiting feeding, and swallows two chestfuls of grenades.
As the team members took cover from a distance, the consecutive rumbling explosions burst almost simultaneously.
Accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, the red-lipped gape screamed endlessly, spewing thick black blood, and a stench of foul wind and poison diffused like a gas.
Deep cracks spread from the center of the Alchemy Array, a giant hand emerged from underground, the earth and stones collapsing, and the red-lipped gape slowly rose up.
It was a humanoid monster with limbs but no head, standing over five meters tall, with a body as bloated as a Giant’s. Its abdomen split open to reveal a large red-lipped gape, which whined mournfully as it spat filthy blood, questioning why its mother would feed it such distasteful things.
The crowd was taken aback, including Artley who had come prepared. According to the requirements of the Alchemy Book, only sixty-six corpses were needed, and it shouldn’t have been possible to create a Corpse Demon.
Besides, this creature did not resemble the Corpse Demon, which should have six hundred sixty-six hands, feet, and eyes.
It was more like one of the Familiars of one of the seven Lords of Hell, the Lord of Gluttony!
Artley realized something was wrong and stepped forward with his holy spear.
With a thunderous crash, the ground beneath the team’s feet shattered, and all of three, as well as two, Ruined Ancient Cities collapsed, falling into the black abyss below.
That place, shrouded in red light, seemed as if it was Hell itself.
Ah Bo boredly guarded the Crystal Ball of the Thousand-Eyed Demon. As a water ghost who had settled at the bottom of the Themes River, being away from the river for an extended time and having only half an hour each day for baths, the dryness of his body caused him great discomfort.
On the vast square, hundreds of strangely shaped Magical Beings lined up neatly, each with physical features that were beyond the description of language.
All with the artistic style of Hell, they came with negative emotions, twisted, anguished, struggling, and emitted an aura of despair that was pitiful.
The Thousand-Eyed Demon stepped out of the Teleportation Array, and seeing that his presence was unnoticed by the Holy See, he said to Ah Bo, "There’s a change of plan. The people from the Holy See are here, call your master over quickly."
Hearing the anxious tone of the Devil, Ah Bo felt secretly elated, he hastened to the teleportation gate and disappeared into the sewers.
"Damn, they can’t even handle a little thing properly!"
The Thousand-Eyed Demon was annoyed that the Death Knight couldn’t be summoned at will and also frustrated that Jeliff had incompetently drawn an inside mole into their base.
He had a clear view of bases two and three. Jeliff’s series of blunders had not only led to his own demise but had also involved Bruce, who was now a captive of the Holy See.
It was rare to find a lackey he approved of, loyal and faithful to him, yet now he had become a toy in the hands of the Nun due to the reversal of circumstances.
"I told you to just have fun, otherwise she would definitely ruin you..."
"Ultimately, indulging in beauty, you’re not cut out for great things!"
Despite two bases being breached and the situation deteriorating beyond repair, the Thousand-Eyed Demon wasn’t the least bit panicked. This was nothing; he had faced worse in Hell.
"Thinking of driving me back to Hell, it’s not that easy."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon raised his hand and shattered the Crystal Ball, revoking Ah Bo’s authority to control the Magical Life Army, and simultaneously let the Ruined Ancient City fall freely, sending the people from the Holy See into a deeper layer of the Devil’s den.
Falling along with the ancient city were hundreds of Magical Beings, contorted by the mist.
"Ignorant fools, it’s you who are without an escape route!"
"Since the day I arrived in Lundan, everything was over, this city had already been blessed by Lord Pride, marked with the seal of Hell..."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon murmured, disintegrating into a dense swarm of insects and then recombining, dividing into four:
"Three Legendary Mages, such chaotic faith, you are destined to be of use to me!"
