Chapter 1158 - Chapter 1158 Chapter 702 The Lord Plunging into Darkness_2

Chapter 1158: Chapter 702: The Lord Plunging into Darkness_2 Chapter 1158: Chapter 702: The Lord Plunging into Darkness_2 “But fortunately, this time, we can still rely on the strength of every person present to resist against this darkness.”

By the time Ariel finished speaking, the restless crowd had already calmed down a bit, as the fear on the faces of the majority of people involuntarily dissipated and they began to listen attentively to Princess Coldflame’s impassioned words.

“Our City Lord, for the sake of this city and for every person here, including myself, has already bravely plunged into the darkness to fight against the originator of this calamity. What we need to do is to believe in the City Lord’s ability to dispel the darkness and bring the light back to this land!”

“The City Lord has already saved the city once from the hands of a tyrant and will surely be able to save it a second time! We have already created one miracle and can surely create another one!”

“The power of united belief can become a solid barrier that can block the cowardice in our hearts and the arrival of darkness!”

“So please, everyone, believe in hope, believe in the City Lord, and more importantly, believe in yourself. The darkness that envelops the city’s sky will eventually disappear, and what awaits us must be a glorious, brilliant dawn!”

After Ariel’s speech, the panic and fear on the faces of almost all the defense soldiers and the majority of civilians had already been replaced by tenacity and unyielding determination.

Although they still could not move or speak due to the control technique, the resoluteness and urgency in their eyes clearly showed that their bodies might be controlled by darkness, but their minds could not be!

And thus, a miracle occurred.

Subsequently, a large number of Tier 4 colossal fear claymen that were about to condense into shape suddenly melted away.

Many of the dissolved mud failed to even form the original Tier 3 clay soldier, and the sizzling, fizzing mixture quickly merged back with the black fog.

Similar was the case with the mud giants that were fighting with the powerful warriors, who quickly melted away and degenerated into weaker Tier 3 clay soldiers.

Thus, with Ariel’s efforts and encouragement, the precarious defensive line around the square began to solidify once again.

“My Lord, this is all I can do.”

Upon seeing this, Ariel took a deep breath and gently smoothed her already sweat-soaked hair, muttering to herself in her heart: “My Lord, I have stabilized the rear. Please return safely and win the dawn that everyone longs for, for your subordinates and for everyone present.”

With that thought, Ariel’s gaze shifted and looked towards the depths of the dense fog that Leo Ray had ventured into, her eyes shining like stars.

…

At the same time as the dramatic changes in the western city square, Leo Ray and Red Night had already faced the pitch-black fog and arrived at the area where the array’s nexus was located.

Upon stopping, Leo Ray looked around.

Here was the location of the previous city slum.

Since the focus of the city’s work had been primarily on the construction of the city’s defenses, the construction of this new residential area had not been thoroughly completed.

Leo Ray simply took out a large number of two-story house building blueprints and established blocks of residential areas, but the basic infrastructure such as roads and greenery had not yet been perfected.

As a result, the orderly and uniform empty houses, the bare mud fields, and the pervasive thick black fog all contribute to a strangely eerie atmosphere.

“My Lord, I can sense that’s where the black fog is thickest!”

Red Night pointed to the center of the new residential area with her slender finger, frowning, “And I can feel a disgusting death energy coming from that Nightmare Knight!”

“Understood, let’s move on.”

Leo Ray nodded, as he continued to fan the light purple magic wings on his back and asked Red Night: “Have you sensed any other familiar auras?”

Without saying more, what Leo Ray was referring to was none other than Taylor, who had been missing without a trace.

As for the likewise unaccounted-for Leah, Leo Ray was not worried; as a combat puppet, even the Nightmare Knight who created the Deathtrap Boundary would not be able to sense Leah’s presence.

As for the also missing Rhizoma Drynariae, Silia, and Kombu, they were not seen in the west square earlier, so they should either be fighting in other not particularly dangerous areas or have already rendezvoused with subordinates from other strongholds.”My Lord, I couldn’t sense anything, as the energy flow in this area of absolute death is extremely chaotic, even more so than ordinary battlefields.”

With her deep red magic wings fluttering, Hong Ye shook her head helplessly: “All I could perceive was the overly obvious and enormous death energy of the Nightmare Knight.”

“I see, when we meet the Nightmare Knight, we have only one goal – to kill him at all costs as soon as possible,” Leo Ray said, nodding his head gravely. “As long as we take him down, the new noble forces outside will not be a threat. I have already prepared a strategy to annihilate those aristocratic armies.”

“Understood! Please rest assured, my Lord, that I will personally crush that disgusting black worm,” Hong Ye said solemnly, her face full of determination.

As the two were conversing, a huge black silhouette emerging from the fog ahead caught Leo Ray’s attention.

From a distance, he could see a constantly squirming, irregular, pure black object, surrounded by the ruins of a two-story house.

Beyond that, there was a giant black magic array composed of raised black lines stretching from the ground, extending all the way down underground.

It was not hard to see that the pure black object had clearly burst through the two-story house and erupted out.

The most eye-catching thing was the thick semi-transparent black defensive barrier enveloping the periphery of the pure black object, enclosing it perfectly.

“My Lord, it seems that this is the array’s core location of this area of absolute death,” Hong Ye’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the dark magic array and spoke: “The periphery of the array core is linked to a defensive barrier that is connected to the entire domain. We can only dispel it by defeating the caster.”

“Is that so?”

Leo Ray’s magic wings dispersed, signaling Hong Ye to stop and then spoke to the black fog in front of him: “Alright, Nightmare Knight, there’s no need to hide anymore. It’s time for you to show yourself, isn’t it?”

As Leo Ray’s words fell, along with a surge of sticky black fog, a dark figure riding on a skeletal warhorse slowly emerged in front of him and Hong Ye.

“Lord of Cyan City, I didn’t expect you to dare come here,” the Nightmare Knight sneered, his bone spear pointing at Leo Ray’s nose. “Before I kill you, I should thank you for defeating the White Knight and solving a somewhat troublesome problem for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the time to deal with you wholeheartedly.”

The Nightmare Knight’s laughter intensified, and he continued mockingly: “First came the water attack, then the Sky Knights’ bombardment, and finally, you managed to summon a well-equipped Goblin army. I must admit, I underestimated you.”

“No worries, you can take your fear of me to your grave soon,” Leo Ray said coldly, smiling. “Have you finished your last words?”

“What an arrogant little brat.”

The Nightmare Knight’s disguised voice deepened, and he disdainfully addressed Hong Ye: “You dare challenge my authority with just one Tier 5 Second Star powerhouse, whose energy is nearly exhausted?”

“More than enough to deal with you,” Hong Ye coldly replied, looking at the Nightmare Knight as if he were an insignificant bug.

“You overestimate yourselves! Let me see what you’re really made of!” The Nightmare Knight shouted, urging his skeletal warhorse to charge at Hong Ye.

However, just as the Nightmare Knight launched his attack, another sinister shadow, ready to strike, had already silently appeared behind Leo Ray.
