The sound of "唝翁" is particularly clear in the silent night.
The smell of tasteless beasts, an unprecedented strong murderous aura, and a sense of absurdity that does not belong to this era.
Yes, ridiculous.
Out from the chaos beneath the coat came not only the birds and beasts that were chasing after Ryougi Shiki, but also the beings above them.
There were horses with horns on their foreheads, giant lizards with wings, war beasts with flames on their hooves, giant pythons that were tens of meters long, and many more indescribable existences.
Each one is a fantasy species that has long been extinct in the world, and each one is a mystery that transcends modern magic.
There is no need to specially prepare the barrier. Their appearance directly transforms this place into a different world. The activity level of "Dayuan" is also rising, returning to the ancient times.
This is the true strength of Nero Chaos, the tenth generation of the "Twenty-seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles", who stands in the vampire world, no, in the mysterious world.
The troops sent out to deal with Ryougi Shiki were just a hunting expedition and an appetizer. What was about to take place now was the main course - the collision between myths and myths, the war between the defenders of human principles and the monsters that denied human principles.
More than five hundred black beasts were released at one time, and the "Sea of Chaos" finally stopped flowing and shrank back under the black coat. Nero Chaos' emotionless and rational eyes also revealed a certain distinct desire, that desire was called devouring, called eating.
"I wonder what the so-called 'Noble Phantasm' tastes like? After devouring the concepts of the Servant, what changes will happen to the 'chaos' in my body?"
"Calm down a bit, your messed up brain only knows how to eat." Roa punched Nero Chaos on the head without any hesitation, "Don't forget that our goal is to snatch servants and gain more combat power. Assassin relying on Araya alone is still too weak. If you succeed this time, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to devour in the future. This time, there are more than ten servants participating in the battle. Except for the necessary seven, you can eat the others as you like."
Nero Chaos, whose face was twisted by a punch, twisted his neck and said expressionlessly: "I can't represent the consciousness of all, I can only say that I did my best."
Nero Chaos now is more of a "group" than an "individual", both in body and soul. Such a huge concept mixed together, even if they are all ignorant and unintelligent beasts, it is not something a single soul can bear, and it is natural for personality and rationality to collapse.
"So chaotic guys are troublesome and can get out of control at any time." Roa complained, his fingers accidentally running across the back of the knife, "Let me say this in advance, if your familiar gets out of control, don't blame me for being rude."
"Whatever." Nero still had a blank expression on his face, not caring about the loss of his familiar at all.
"Araya, according to the agreement, you and your Servants do not need to participate in direct combat. Just focus on finding the enemy's Master and snatching the Command Seals."
"I understand. I'm not Nero and I won't do anything unnecessary." Although Araya's expression was not as expressionless as Nero, his distressed face still ruined the atmosphere.
Luo A couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone is so boring, why can't you be more cheerful?"
"It's meaningless."
"unnecessary."
They spoke at the same time, and in this respect they were surprisingly consistent.
Luo A made himself look awkward: "I shouldn't have discussed this topic with you."
"Thirty seconds until the enemy arrives."
Assassin's voice sounded in time, easing Roa's bad mood.
"Are you finally here? Then, let's get started!"
The man holding the dagger moved forward and came to the front of the entire black beast army.
Araya raised his left hand, and three symbols circulated around his body, and a concealment barrier unfolded, allowing his figure to blend into the darkness. Only Nero Chaos was left at his original position, looking at the enemy army charging below from afar.
It was a torrent that was also mainly black, but unlike Nero Chaos's herd, the torrent on the opposite side was not pure black, but was regularly dotted with dark gold and dark green. The former was the color of the weapons used by the army, and the latter was the magical light flowing among the entire army. From a distance, it looked like a layer of mist, or like a group of huge will-o'-the-wisp fires, completely covering the hillside where the three were - they were already heavily surrounded.
Yes, absolutely, it is not an exaggeration at all. If you have ever seen a real rally of tens of thousands of people, you will find such a momentum to be quite normal.
Compared to this, Nero Chaos's herd of beasts was nothing. If the "10,000 Immortal Cavalry" was a vast ocean, then the herd of beasts could only be considered a river or a lake at best - even if there were fantastical species beyond the norm such as dragons and wildebeests in the herd.
Just as the name of its treasure "The Immortal Ten Thousand Cavalry" (Athāgatoi Ten Thousand) - the "ten thousand" here is not an imaginary number, but a real, ten thousand people without any falsehood!
Don't think that these 10,000 people are not many because of the armies of hundreds of thousands in various novels and anecdotes. Those armies of hundreds of thousands include non-combatants such as logistics troops and civilians, and they exaggerate the number to scare people. In fact, the troops that really went into battle may be only tens of thousands. Among them, there may be only 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops, which is the key to determining the direction of a war - and this "10,000 Immortal Cavalry" is such an army.
However, the three surrounded people did not show any fear. Instead, Roa, the leader, showed a confident smile that showed he was determined to win.
"Yes, yes, that's how it should be. Otherwise, you are not qualified to be the guardian of human law, let alone my prey - crush it to pieces!"
The last two words were infused with magic, spoken in German.
Following this spell, Roa struck the ground heavily with his hand. The powerful force cracked the soil, and visible magic power spread forward along the cracks, activating a ritual that had been prepared long ago.
The next second, the cracks under Roa's body rushed towards the opposite army at a speed a hundred or a thousand times faster, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people in the vanguard were knocked down.
This was not the end. The cracks not only spread forward, but also to both sides. Before the fallen soldiers could stand up, they were swallowed up by the growing cracks.
Then, he slapped the ground with his palm and clenched it hard, and the separated ground suddenly closed together, completely cutting off the retreat of the fallen soldier.
"It's just a small greeting. Is the King of Persia satisfied?"
After doing all this, Roa clapped his hands, stood up, and said with a smile to the owner of the huge army.
