Chapter 990 - Cleaning Up
Karin’s runes were unlike those Rhode had ever seen before. Even though he didn’t understand what they meant, he recognized them as words, just like how modern people read oracle script. In comparison, Karin’s runes were more like electronic codes that appeared in system errors.
All of a sudden, the teleportation ritual devoured by the abyssal flames flickered in an azure radiance, its patterns shifting across the surface. More and more devils appeared from the void of dark clouds hovering on the ceiling. On the other hand, the devils that were summoned before were all sucked back into the dark cloud. The entire teleportation ritual had turned into a strange machine that sucked and spit out devils as bright rays shone and reshaped it.
Meanwhile, a powerful, pitch-black energy flowed throughout Gabe’s body. The only thing that could prove his existence was his blood-curdling screams. But even the screams vanished after a few seconds.
Everything seemed to have ended in an instant. The remaining stone giants and metal guards stopped attacking. But no one believed that this was the end of the fight. They also sensed a massive, evil aura exuding from the dark clouds as though one was pouring a bucket of black water from above.
“Oh, my goodness. What are they trying to do?!”
The mages exchanged glances anxiously. They previously asked Rhode about his intention in coming here, but according to Rhode, they only coincidentally met the apprentices and provided help since it was along the way. This was why the mages subconsciously believed that they were here to help them eradicate the devils. But now… What were they trying to do?
Although they didn’t know what the short-haired young lady was up to, they clearly sensed a powerful, evil energy flowing into this world. The pressure was so huge that the mages felt ill at ease as though they were standing on an ebbing beach, certain that an enormous tsunami would soon be crashing on their defenseless selves.
“Alright, everyone.”
Karin approached the group of mages.
“You can leave now, just like we agreed. Please head to the area where the signal crystal was placed and protect it. Don’t worry, the metal guards in the maze will assist you. All you need to do is to delay time.”
