In the darkness, the ghostly convoy rushed through the burning streets, running over the struggling people, leaving a straight track along the way, and headed straight towards Arkham Asylum.
At the end, the galloping of the two giant horses came to an abrupt halt and stopped in front of the burning building.
At the front, the car door was pushed open, and a man wearing a gray poncho and a long and mottled beard stepped out of the car. He stared at the screaming hospital in front of him, and frowned when he heard the faint praise of madness coming from the ground.
"Everyone get out of the car and get ready. It's been years since we saw an emergency order, and it was actually in the city of Avalon, next to the Royal Academy... This time, those crazy people will definitely complain to the royal family about us, right?"
He shook his head, raised his voice and asked, "Where are the people at the scene? Where are they?"
"I'm here."
The young man wearing a gray poncho responded. The handsome man looked elegant. He saluted Jerome and raised his iron-gray eyes:
"Long time no see, Mr. Jerome."
"Gavin?"
Jerome was stunned for a moment: "I heard that you have entered the resonance level and joined the Royal Orchestra of Music. I can't believe it. I remember that you are only nineteen years old this year and have not graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music."
"It's all just the family's training."
Gavin smiled: "I'm about to graduate, and my teacher arranged for me to join the Royal Orchestra to gain some experience. It's not considered a formal member."
"It's almost like a formal member."
Jerome nodded approvingly: "Three years ago, your teacher told me that you would be a better musician than him in the future. Now it seems that he was right. Your father told me two days ago When you wrote the letter, you also said that your brother Banner was also admitted to the Royal School and is a genius not inferior to you. The Adrian family really has a profound background."
Gavin nodded: "Banner is much better than me and is already at the musician level. I just borrowed my brother's name. In the future, Adrian's family will still rely on Banner."
When Jerome saw those iron-grey eyes, he understood and patted him on the shoulder: "This is not a place to reminisce about old times. If you have any questions, let's talk about it another day."
With that said, he signaled Gavin to return to the team and turned to look behind him.
Behind him, nineteen royal musicians had stepped down from the motorcade and were waiting quietly.
These outstanding musicians selected from the Royal School exude powerful etheric fluctuations, and some of them are followed by powerful phantom beasts.
The strong wind that was approaching during the rainstorm lifted the ponchos on their shoulders, making a hunting sound.
"Everyone, you must have learned about the specific situation on the way here."
Jerome turned his back to the burning hospital and said loudly: "What we are going to defeat this time is a large-scale blood sacrifice of the evil god. Now, there are at least a dozen musicians participating in the fallen sacrifice inside, including at least four black men." The musicians, as well as a group of demons who have been transformed by them. Next, they will be divided into groups of three to carry out the operation. The remaining people will guard the entrance and exit and act according to the plan. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Very good." Jerome nodded with satisfaction, "However, before taking action, there is one thing I should remind you of."
"No matter what the enemy is, don't be soft-hearted."
His expression was as cold as iron: "What your Majesty has issued to us this time is not a 'cruel order', but a 'document of extermination'. - Don't leave anything alive!"
Behind him, in the sky above the hospital, the clouds suddenly burst out and erupted with a suppressed roar. Under the ground, the suppressed hymns and hymns suddenly increased in volume, and the harsh sounds echoed in the firelight, transforming into various demonic shapes.
Jerome lowered his head and looked at the ether ball in his hand.
Through the reflection of the ether ball, his sight seemed to penetrate dozens of meters of the ground and landed on the violently trembling bloody vortex.
A trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Start taking action immediately and attack!"
…
…
boom! boom! boom!
In the final laboratory, there was a violent tremor in the dome, cracks spread from the walls, gravel and dust fell from the sky, fell into the bloody light, and were melted and disappeared without a trace.
That was the movement of the royal musicians from the outside in, forcing a breakthrough, but at this moment, no one cares about those things, because the bloody road is about to begin!
During the ceremony solemnly, Red Eye's voice rose, and the sharp and harsh singing drew the blood light, causing the huge vortex to tremble and rotate crazily.
Soon! Soon!
The corners of his mouth grinned, ecstatically ecstatic, and he let out a passionate song that tore apart his soul. The fluctuating bloody tide suddenly shook, gathering and collapsing toward the vortex in the center.
There was a sound like steel rubbing against each other in the vortex, condensing from nothingness into substance. And right in the center, it was like a thick mist undulating, gradually becoming clearer.
Bang!
With a soft sound, all the crazy singing stopped abruptly.
In the silence, everyone stared feverishly at the whirlpool emitting dark light. In the white mist deep in the whirlpool, the silhouette of the ferocious city was faintly revealed.
"It's on?!"
Red Eyes murmured in a low voice and let out a sharp laugh like a night owl: "It's opened! The blood path is opened! We succeeded! The Shadow of Avalon is already in our hands!"
All the musicians cheered wildly, praised in unison, praised the glory of the gods, and shouted wildly.
But amid the praise, everyone's expressions changed instantly, and they looked in the direction of the whirlpool in disbelief.
Dead silence!
In the whirlpool, there were subtle footsteps, and a vague shadow appeared faintly, getting closer and closer... At the other end of the blood road, in the Shadow of Avalon, something was following the passage to this world. coming.
At the front, the musician who was maintaining the whirlpool couldn't help but swallowed, looking surprised.
The Shadow of Avalon is the "nothing land" that King Arthur once forged based on the artifact, the Sword in the Stone.
When the Mad King was still alive, it feasted on blood and turned the entire city into a demonic realm. It is unknown how many bones were buried and what kind of monsters were brewing.
But hundreds of years have passed now. Is there anything alive in the world behind the door
Everyone's breathing became heavy, and their whole bodies tensed up, staring intently at the blurry figure in the white mist.
In the silent silence, only the faint sound of footsteps came from the whirlpool.
Close, close, getting closer.
Until finally, that terrifying shadow is about to step out of the whirlpool and reveal itself. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and be on guard.
In an instant, everyone saw it...
A look that was indescribably arrogant.
It's like staring at the dust, the dregs, or the bugs under your feet, the gravel blocking the road, or something more worthy of contempt.
Those eyes stared at them, and it was clear that the line of sight passed through those shallow and ridiculous bodies and fell into the void.
Because there is nothing here worthy of its attention.
Its hair reflected the blood, but gave off a golden color with a metallic texture. The sharp teeth are sharp and flicker with a chilling light.
That's a...
"dog?"
Chiyan heard the sound of his jaw being dislocated.
Immediately, he was horrified: Illusion? ! What kind of illusion is this? Unknowingly, he fell into this illusion.
In an instant, he broke out in cold sweat and quickly blessed himself with various states, but in the end, he still didn't notice any clues.
Only a pair of contemptuous eyes were seen.
"dog?"
"Yes, it is indeed a dog..."
"Why did a dog come out of the Shadow of Avalon?"
"Is it really a dog? It's not some scary monster, right?"
The musicians nearby couldn't help but discuss in low voices, and their expressions on the whirlpool became extremely suspicious: Could it be that the whirlpool leads not to the Shadow of Avalon, but to a certain doghouse
While everyone was talking and giving advice, the big golden retriever walked around the room with small steps, as if a king was on a patrol. When he found that there was nothing interesting, his expression showed deep disdain. A burst of contempt.
Finally, its footsteps stopped in front of Red Eyes, squatted down, and looked up at him.
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then felt a little ridiculous. He pointed at the big golden retriever dog and looked at the person beside him: "Is it looking at me? I don't know if it's a real dog... Ouch!"
The last sound was a scream.
Because the big golden retriever opened its mouth and bit his hand mercilessly. Its sharp teeth sank deeply into the flesh, almost biting through the entire palm.
An unreasonable and severe pain spread from the wound. Chi Yan felt that his palm had lost consciousness for a moment, and then there was a terrible pain like a knife and an axe!
His knees softened and he almost fell to the ground.
But he finally confirmed: this is really a dog!
It also bites people!
The dog shook its head in a very humane manner, spat on the ground, and finally sneezed, snorting disdainfully from its nose.
Get up, fall off your butt, and walk towards the whirlpool again...
It's so boring here, I'll go somewhere else. That's probably what it means, right
"brute!"
Chiyan's eyes really turned blood red, and he roared hoarsely: "You are looking for death!"
Suddenly, his arm twisted and squirmed, and the flesh and blood flowed like a solution, attached to the violently deformed skeleton, multiplied and stretched, and instantly turned into a dark flesh and blood python.
In front of the whirlpool, the dog looked back.
Its eyes were still full of disdain, "Chi!", as if it made such a sound with its nostrils.
Immediately afterwards, the vortex trembled!
A roar that shook the entire room came from the darkness behind the whirlpool, and a smelly hurricane was set off out of thin air.
The vortex fluctuated, the darkness in the center was torn apart, and a black hand stretched out from the upper vortex. It unfolded silently and covered the huge dome!
The palm, which was dozens of meters in size, seemed to be made of ashes. Countless ashes formed its vague outline. Just by stretching a palm into it, the vortex was about to explode!
