My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 27 Passing By

at the same time.

The day has come when the Green Valley Underground City will be unsealed.

Hegesius stood at the edge of the underground city, watching the crowd. With a slight movement of his fingers, a communication spell was formed.

"Each unit reports on the situation."

"No trace of the Blood Demon was found."

"No..."

Hercules narrowed his eyes, and for some reason, his unease grew stronger.

Since crossing the line of the vampires, the Blood Demon has vanished without a trace.

And this is especially true for those children of shadow.

At that moment, a loud bell rang out quietly.

A bright bell suddenly rang throughout the valley, the illusion array that had sealed the valley vanished, and a dilapidated market appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be a newly appeared dungeon?"

"Strange, what's going on?"

"Who cares? First come, first served!"

The throngs of people surged forward, each heading towards the market.

This commotion immediately caught Shi Qing's attention.

He slightly opened his eyes and saw a large group of people rushing towards this place in the distance.

"The illusion array has been dispelled?"

"Wait, what's this?"

Vixi also woke up along with Shi Qing.

Last night she forced herself to get out of the medicinal bath. Her wounds hadn't healed much, so she was practically defenseless.

"teacher?"

"..."

Shi Qing was silent for a moment, then immediately grabbed Wei Xi, his voice more serious than ever before.

"Vichy, let's move to another place now. Green Valley Underground City is no longer suitable for quiet cultivation."

"Huh? Why?"

Vishi tilted his head, but this time Shi Qing offered no explanation, as if some great calamity was about to befall him.

"Oh, okay."

Vishi slowly got up, preparing to gather the nearby medicinal herbs and alchemy furnace, and leave the place.

At that moment, a sudden, earth-shaking tremor struck!

"They're here."

"Something's happened!"

Shi Qing, along with Hegesius and Ittis in the distance, simultaneously raised their heads and looked into the deep valley.

That strong tremor came from there!

This sudden change immediately drew the attention and caused panic among all the adventurers.

"What happened?"

"Something is coming out of there."

"Damn it, I knew those vampires weren't that kind!"

The scene was extremely chaotic, with stampedes occurring one after another.

The law knights and city guards hiding in the shadows had to step out to take charge and prevent the chaos from spreading further.

While all the knights were busy on their journeys, a blood-red figure emerged from the chaos.

He wore a black hooded robe, his scarlet eyes fixed on the chaos.

With a single strike, a crimson blade shot out, instantly reaping several lives!

Even under the bright sunlight, his ferocity remained undiminished; he had long awaited this chaos for far too long.

"Blood Demon...!"

Hegesius sensed the brutal killing intent emanating from the creature.

He suddenly looked up and met the Blood Demon's gaze in the crowd.

Those bloodshot eyes were devoid of any reason, filled only with endless rage and murderous intent.

"Sargeras, you, you are so despicable!"

"Your blood cells are among these people!"

Hegesius roared, his body suddenly bursting with light, and the blade in his hand was already ignited with light.

"Hegeusius, I'm not leaving, I'm standing right here."

Sargeras laughed, his black robes fell off, and a burst of blood magic erupted from his body, sweeping across the surroundings!

He grabbed a passerby, strangled him instantly, and drained his blood, his power surging once again.

Such atrocities immediately enraged Hegesius, but he was unable to muster his troops to launch a charge and crush the Blood Demon.

He has too many people around him.

The Blood Demon chose this exact moment to kill and suck blood.

However, the Law Knights cannot initiate a charge, unlike other extraordinary beings who do not have this restriction.

A dark figure emerged from behind Sargeras, and several sword blades shot out like a storm, aiming straight for vital points!

It's Edith!

She is a fourth-tier Shadow Walker, the strongest among all of them right now!

As an assassin, Edith knew that for an assassin, the best opportunity only comes once.

That was the first time.

Therefore, this attack concentrated almost all of her power; although it was not loud, its power was unparalleled!

In an instant, dozens of large holes suddenly appeared in the Blood Demon's body, and each strike pierced his body with precision!

But the Blood Demon just smiled, a smile that sent chills down Edith's spine.

"Ah, Lady Edith, I've heard of you. You are Ryan's bloodline, a pillar of the vampire clan, and a star of Gem City..."

"Or perhaps, a traitor to the vampire clan!"

With a fierce shout, the Blood Demon's body suddenly disintegrated!

He turned into pools of blood and flesh, staining other people and bursting out of their bodies!

"This isn't blood magic! It's the divine art of [Eternity]!"

"Where did you get this?!"

Edith immediately retreated, increasing the distance between herself and the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon laughed.

"This is, of course, a gift bestowed upon me by Her Majesty the Princess! I am her rightful heir!"

In the instant the Blood Demon went berserk, the instigator of all this finally emerged from the dungeon entrance.

They are a group of monsters.

But they are not just monsters.

The monsters grew all sorts of bizarre fleshy limbs, their bodies expanding to more than a size larger.

Moreover, each one is a dangerous monster, bearing obvious signs of dragon blood mutation, with the lowest being second-tier and the highest even third-tier!

In an instant, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone knows what happened.

It's a monster plague; the monsters in the dungeon have rioted.

Edith and Hegesius, who knew more, turned pale; they also knew that this was not a simple calamity of beasts.

This scourge was unleashed by the children of shadow.

It’s over.

Roar!

All the monsters roared in unison, charging forward like an army, trampling all life before them.

"Knights of the Law!"

"The Lord's test, the Empire's test, has arrived!"

Finally, Hegemon let out a roar, soared into the sky, and burst into light.

The knights answered his call and formed a battle formation with Hegesius.

Faced with the choice between capturing the Blood Demon and protecting it, Hegesius ultimately chose his own path.

In an instant, a great light shone, and an angelic phantom appeared behind them, raising a spear and charging towards the surging beast scourge.

boom!

A deafening roar. The world turned upside down.

The valley collapsed, and the knight held the pass to the death.

"It worked?"

"Success! We really do need the Empire!"

But before he could even process his relief, Hegeus, who was standing at the very front, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking utterly bewildered.

Before the beast tide, a bloody, fleshy phantom grew from the monster that had been crushed into blood.

He is the priest of Mansa, the son of the shadows.

With a wave of her hand, more flesh and blood overlapped, forming a terrifying monster.

Step by step, they advanced toward Hegesius.

Edith, standing some distance away, remained silent for a moment, then abandoned her hunt for the Blood Demon and passed by him.

She cannot let Hegeus fall.

Once he falls, there will be no one to command the Knights, and without the Knights, they will lose their power to cause massive damage.

Moreover, the death of an envoy in Gem City would be a difficult situation for the Empire to explain.

"You won't always be this lucky, Blood Demon."

The Blood Demon merely smiled coldly as she headed towards her inevitable death.

At that moment, a burst of blood energy shot out from the side of the valley, smashing the unsuspecting Mansa in half at the waist.
