Chapter: Chapter 96
“Although these things have strong vitality, they are really too weak.” Following behind the flame giant, Leticia concluded about the monsters constantly rushing out of the dense fog.
They couldn’t be killed, but they couldn’t stop her.
The power gap between the monsters and Leticia was already unbridgeable by numbers.
The black shadow of the clock tower had appeared in sight, and it wouldn’t be long before Leticia could lead the girls beside her to the core area of this foggy city.
“Strange, why do the monsters seem to be decreasing?” The leader, watching the monsters charge at the fire giant like mantises trying to stop a chariot, slowly noticed that the number of monsters seemed to be decreasing.
“Although the monsters can regenerate infinitely, the person manipulating them cannot. They also get tired and their stamina is depleted, not to mention the terrifying number of monsters that sister has defeated.” Kira was holding a lantern emitting a dim yellow light. The dim yellow light seemed to penetrate the fog, expanding everyone’s vision to nearly twenty meters.
“Who knows how many monsters I’ve killed. Anyway, they are like ants, and I can kill countless of them with a casual flick.” Leticia expressed that these things couldn’t put any pressure on her at all.
For ordinary people, and even ordinary powerhouses, these immortal monsters were definitely a nightmare.
Endless, impossible to kill, and fearless of death, this was undoubtedly a terrifying army.
It was just that Leticia was no longer an opponent that could be defeated by sheer numbers. No matter how many monsters gathered, they would only consume a tiny bit of her magic power.
This magic power was even less than what she recovered naturally.
“The numbers are indeed starting to decrease. It should be that the manipulator is starting to run out of steam and can no longer summon so many monsters.” Kira raised the lantern high, trying to expand the range of vision a bit more.
But the dense fog was unwilling to retreat, and the lantern’s light could only illuminate a small area around them.
“‘Candle of Guidance’ can only achieve this effect. ‘Fog City’ is truly a divine artifact.”
Kira was somewhat prepared for this result. Although this magic was of a not low level, it was still far inferior compared to a divine artifact.
“That’s because you haven’t practiced enough, Kira,” Leticia rubbed her sister’s head. “Get ready. Although the number of monsters has decreased, I feel that we will soon meet the mastermind behind all of this.”
“But even you don’t know this magic, Sister,” Kira pouted a little unhappily.
Yes, that was right. Even the Demon King had magic that they were not good at.
Leticia was not very proficient in using the magic ‘Candle of Guidance’. Although she could use it, the effect was not very good.
“Wait, I think I can see the trajectory of fate.” At this moment, the leader suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Although it was very blurry, an extremely illusory line had indeed appeared in her vision.
That was the thread of fate.
“The leader’s ability is precognition? That’s a very rare ability,” Leticia said with some surprise. “But be careful about shortening your lifespan. Being able to see the trajectory of fate is not a good thing.”
All along, demon astrologers have been short-lived professions. To explore the future, the price to be paid would not be small.
“I have a bad feeling.” The leader did not take Leticia’s words to heart. At least, she had not suffered any backlash so far.
“Yes, it’s obvious. Our opponent has prepared a big gift for us ahead.” Leticia waved her hand and dispersed the flame giant, because the monsters had completely disappeared.
The one-sided slaughter that had lasted for more than half an hour finally came to an end. The only achievement of the countless monsters was making Leticia yawn slightly.
They really couldn’t win.
After walking for about another minute, the clock tower finally appeared in front of the four people.
But at the gate of the clock tower stood a hunched old man.
The old man leaned on a black cane, and two monsters beside him carried a yellow object that had lost consciousness.
“Miss Su, I didn’t expect you to have a connection with the Hero Association.” The old man looked at Kira and revealed a smile that gave goosebumps.
“I also didn’t expect that the intermediary who appeared here would be you,” Kira looked at the old man, her eyes filled with inquiry. “I thought that councilman was hiding something.”
“Him? He’s just a greedy fool,” a cold glint flashed in the old man’s eyes. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Councilman Wang. “All I want is my due reward.”
“So you ruined my deal and locked me in here?”
“Ah, Miss Su misunderstood. In fact, I originally planned to only lock in the person next to you and the one in black. I just didn’t expect you to act together with this one,” the old man explained with a smile.
As for why Kira was acting with this person in white, he did not know.
Before arriving here, Leticia had put on her mask and hood again, so the old man did not know the relationship between Leticia and Kira.
Before? Before, the old man had been thinking about how to fulfill that person’s request. Although he was the initiator of ‘Fog City’, the dense fog also blocked his observation.
Most of what he knew were some very vague messages from his subordinates, such as how many people there were, their genders, and the situation of the battle.
Other specific situations could only be seen when they were within their line of sight.
“As for the young heroes from a few hero associations, it’s your bad luck. The entrance to ‘Fog City’ will remain open for a period of time after it opens. You were unlucky enough to enter here just before the entrance closed.”
“Are you saying it’s all our fault?” Leticia chuckled. This old man really dared to say that.
“No, no, no, of course I don’t mean that. You are all reasonable people. I just want to make a deal with you,” the old man said, pointing at the young man with yellow hair controlled by the monsters with his black cane. “Give me my share, and I’ll let you leave.”
“Are you kidding me?” Leticia’s expression became quite interesting, but unfortunately, no one could see her expression. “I don’t even know this person. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to kill you and then use the clock tower to close ‘Fog City’?”
Where did this old man get the confidence to negotiate with her?
His monsters couldn’t do anything to her, and Bai Ling, who had gone missing, was definitely consuming the old man’s monster reserves.
“Why do I feel like you are the one who should be begging for mercy?”
