Chapter 1056 - Victims Under the Night Sky
The Void Territory.
As night fell, the bustling scenes of daytime vanished completely. The quiet night enveloped the silent streets, while the moonlight and Holy Maiden Statue’s gentle radiance enfolded the border altogether. Even though Rhode’s group had moved, it didn’t mean that the fortress here was no longer in use. Instead, it became the shelter of the Astral Temple’s heroic spirits. No matter what, that small temple wasn’t suitable to be used as a lodge.
A petite, slender person wrapped in a robe lifted its head from the alley, looking at the most conspicuous building in the Land of Atonement with a complicated gaze. Right over there, fully-armored Elf Knights scanned the ground from the high walls above, angels flapped their beautiful wings and flying back and forth in the sky, and demons strolled in large strides on the ground, making blustering howls from time to time. These beings who were born to give their lives in the fight against Chaos treated one another without much prejudice. Perhaps demons loathed the angels’ hypocrisy, elves disliked the demons’ clamors, or the natural opposition between angels and demons caused arguments from time to time, but just like how an army had good and bad people, the conflicts from both sides didn’t reach an irreconcilable degree. Currently, in the fortress of the Land of Atonement, angels were responsible for the big picture, elves provided support, and demons were in charge of being hired thugs. One had to admit that facing the tall, sturdy built of the demons, not everyone dared to go against them.
Why are the different races able to coexist in harmony here?
Gazing at the beings from a distance, the person hidden in the alley let out a sigh. At this moment, one of the demons seemed to detect something. Its nose twitched as it turned toward the alley. Its scarlet eyes erupting in bright radiance like searchlights. Upon witnessing this scene, the person hidden in the alley retreated quickly. Its cloak fluttered in the wind as it drifted across the darkness lithely. As the demon’s line of sight shifted, it spotted nothing.
This is truly an incredibly dangerous city.
The fluttering cloak appeared in the shadows once again like an elongated reflection transforming under the night sky into the form of a human. The person wrapped in the cloak let out a sigh of relief before taking off the cloak. It was a young lady who seemed to be around 16 to 17 years old. She wore a crimson, elegant dress and a thin, sleek sword hung on her waist. Her blonde, twin ponytails swayed in her movements. Judging from her appearance, her exquisite facial features, slender, alluring figure, and noble presence would make her seem like a wealthy young lady. However, little canines revealed from the edge of her lips and pale complexion exposed her true identity—vampire.
At this moment, the young lady was flitting across the forest under the night sky like a ghost. A trail of afterimages followed behind her, before silently disappearing and reappearing in the depths of the forest. After a few moments, she arrived at the entrance of a cave, took a few steps forward, and stroked her arm across the darkness before her. Along in her movements, a crimson radiance flashed. Invisible waves of air burst from the peaceful cave entrance, before cracking into an opening. The young lady threw a look at the left and right. After confirming that there was no threat around, she stepped into the space crack.
As soon as her foot stepped inside, the scenery surrounding her changed immediately. The views of nature vanished completely, only to be replaced by a cheerless cellar-like place. Dim, glowing torches hung on the cold walls. The short cave became a wide stone hall. The young lady descended the steps and quickly saw six to seven people approaching her from the side, gazing at her anxiously.
“How was it, Carol?”
“Madam Angelina!”
