Chapter 105: The Outsider in the Night
Hovering in the sky above Songjiang City, the Space-Time Crystal Stone is said to be a material from the palace of the once Time and Space God.
The Space-Time Crystal Stone transmitted the images below, allowing the Demon Clan's populace far in another region to see what was happening in Songjiang City.
The overt meaning of the Hunting Festival was to let the Demon Clan's populace enjoy the thrill of the spirit by watching the most powerful warriors of the Demon Clan hunt humans and slaughter them for pleasure.
When the eight major demon leaders gathered in one place, the Demon Clan's populace let out roars of ecstasy.
Especially since all the prisoners were also gathered in one place, a high-frequency hunting banquet seemed foreseeable.
The hostess of Enchanting Demon was also incredibly passionate, describing the merits of each demon leader one by one, wanting to push the atmosphere to new heights.
After all, which Demon Clan member didn't crave the sight of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? And which Demon Clan member didn't hope for one of their own... to claim the laurel of the most kills?
Only the Enchanting Demon clan was an exception, as Enchanting Demons were not a battle-inclined race, and they were very clear... about why that person would participate in this Demon Clan festival.
So the Enchanting Demon clan held no anticipation for Midel.
This Hunting Festival was nothing but a humiliation for Enchanting Demon Midel, and no one expected any performance from her.
But what happened next left the Demon Clan's populace somewhat... embarrassed. Even the Enchanting Demon hostess didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because all the prisoners had congregated in the shopping mall, the Space-Time Crystal Stone was unable to illuminate the scene inside.
Especially since the Dark Night Demon King had summoned the night, what was presented to the eyes of the Demon Clan's populace was nothing but darkness.
The members of the Demon Clan voiced their dissatisfaction. The whole scene was incredibly noisy. The Enchanting Demon hostess could only describe the unseen spectacle and promised that there would certainly be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Imagine, countless prisoners gather in one place, but not a single living person can walk out! And the one who hunted the most will undoubtedly walk out with pride. Let us guess who will emerge from the darkness... into the light!"
Enchanting Demons indeed resemble humans. When tangible benefits can't be provided, they learn to offer empty promises. They master the art of using the imagination of the Demon Clan.
After all, no one could see what was happening inside, so it was just as well to guess wildly.
But on the other side, inside the shopping mall, beneath endless darkness, the massacre was indeed unfolding, but what followed...was a little different from what all the Demon Clan's populace had imagined.
...
...
As a noble among the Enchanting Demons, Midel might be the weakest among the elite nine Demon Clans, but her weak combat strength did not mean her perceptual abilities were weak.
Enchanting Demons are the closest beings to humans, and Midel was even smarter than most humans.
Therefore, among the elite of the nine Demon Clans, she was the first to realize... that this place seemed, overly lively.
"The size of the Grave Mountain is too massive, so it couldn't possibly follow, but all eight of us have come..."
"Although it's also because of Grave Mountain that the prisoners have gathered here... no matter how you think about it, it feels too coincidental. It always seems like something... has lured everyone here."
Midel considered a possibility in her heart, but she remained impassive.
She recalled why she initially wanted to come here: it was because the Lust Demon Sha Yue had stirred up her... longing for a certain bell-ringing little pet.
It seems... it's been a quite a while since she last saw that pioneer, hasn't it?
So, out of some intuition, Midel shook the bell.
Zhou Baiyu, far on the fourth floor, almost made a sound when he heard the ringing of the bell.
However, in order to achieve a surprise attack, a one-hit kill... he did not respond immediately.
Zhou Baiyu cut a slit in his hand and then remained motionless, waiting for the "fish to bite."
The night is the domain of the Dark Night Demon King.
Once the domain is unleashed, the Dark Night Demon King's strength surges. Speed, power, resistance, all dramatically increase.
The most terrifying part is... the Dark Night Demon King can summon nightmares.
Prisoner number 45, from Heijin City, part of the human resistance forces, starting with 55 points, was an extremely powerful human. Toughened by the apocalypse, he had an iron will and skills surpassing human limits.
But with the descent of night... he quickly fell asleep.
He had a dream. In the dream, the terrifying Dark Night Demon King was even more enormous than the Devouring Demon outside.
All his resistance was in vain before the immense Dark Night Demon King.
With a squelch, the Dark Night Demon King crushed him underfoot, shattering his body along with the entire dream world.
In reality, prisoner number 45 coughed up blood.
But death was not his destiny, being converted into a slave was his fate.
In the moment of his near-death, within the darkness, the scythe of the Nether Demon You Quan sliced across his throat.
But he did not die. On the contrary, he who should not have been able to stand, staggered to his feet.
The nightmare of the Dark Night Demon King, the death contract of the Nether Demon You Quan.
Even though nothing could be seen in the darkness, the sense of hearing seemed to become sharper.
Each prisoner experienced an intangible oppression in their heart.
This oppression is called fear.
And fear is the favorite food of the Horror Demon Buxun.
The more the adversary feels fear, the stronger he becomes.
Buxun's laughter evoked each prisoner's deepest fears under the veil of night.
In heart-pounding terror, prisoner number 307, with a starting point of 105, summoned the Horror Demon Buxun to his side due to his inner fear.
