Chapter 1548: The Butterfly Effect Brought by the World Government!
"What is that?!"
The black fire pillar that rushed out of the castle and soared straight into the clouds startled all the demons and humans present.
But immediately, the demons' attention refocused on the humans before them.
They didn't care what happened inside the castle.
As long as they weren't affected, they would continue to enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering living beings.
Instantly, tens of thousands of lower demons bared their fangs and claws, pouncing towards the hundred-plus Magic Knights of the Resistance.
These Resistance members were once Magic Knights who served the House Grinberryall before the Dark Triad ruled the Spade Kingdom.
So when the populace were in danger, they rushed towards the demons without hesitation, only to buy more time for the former to escape.
As for themselves, if there were no accidents, they would surely die here.
Even ignoring the gap in quantity and strength.
The magic they controlled did not possess the ability to damage demons.
But just as the Resistance prepared themselves with the resolve to sacrifice themselves.
Beams of magic power of different attributes surged from behind them.
In the blink of an eye, these beams of light engulfed everyone, simultaneously engulfing countless demons in front, blasting them into scattered remains, yet the members of the Resistance were completely unharmed.
It was the magic cast by Noelle, Finral, Charmy, Magna, Gauche, and others.
However, the power was clearly several times stronger than before.
This was the result of them first learning Devil Union in the Heart Kingdom and then learning Ultimate Magic in the Spirit Village.
Now, everyone's magic names had an extra 'True' character.
But Asta was nowhere to be seen among them.
He had just arrived here with them moments ago.
It turned out that while Noelle and the others were dealing with this group of mid- and lower-rank demons.
Asta had already rushed into the Royal Palace Castle, which was being consumed by raging black flame, with lightning speed.
However, due to the butterfly effect brought by the World Government.
He did not encounter Nacht Faust, who was being severely beaten by the Flame Demon Naamah and the Ice Demon Lilith.
Instead, he immediately found Captain Jack of the Green Mantis Magic Knight Squad, who was locked in a fierce battle against Dante, who had already released one hundred percent of his demon power.
This was destined to lead to the famous moment of Magna and Dante's 'Fifty-Fifty True Man' duel.
And among the Dark Triad, Zenon was the most unlucky.
Due to an issue with Beelzebub, the Space Demon King he had a contract with, his demon power could not reach one hundred percent at all.
This greatly reduced the pressure on Yuno, who was fighting Zenon.
Coupled with the House Grinberryall Royal Family's ancestral magic, Star Magic, which he had just awakened in combat.
Combined with his inherent Wind Spirit Dive Magic, the victory or defeat was already clear.
Finally, on Nacht Faust's side.
Also because he did not encounter the Flame Demon Naamah and the Ice Demon Lilith, his condition was still in relatively good shape.
He judged that the most pressing matter was to stop Morris in the underground palace from continuing to open higher levels of the Gate of the Underworld.
And to rescue Captain Yami Sukehiro and Captain William Vangeance of the Golden Dawn Magic Knight Squad.
This would nullify the Evil World Tree Magic Array and completely close the Gate of the Underworld before the Supreme Demons descended.
So, even though he knew it would be difficult, he still left Dante to Captain Jack and used his Shadow Magic to rapidly descend underground.
But who knew that as soon as he arrived, he was affected by the black flame spewing from the magic array.
Fortunately, Nacht Faust still managed, in the nick of time, by using Gimodelo and Slotos's Devil Union: Mixed Mode.
He pulled the coffins containing Captain Yami and Captain Vangeance into his magic domain, the Hunting Ground of the Dark Prison.
Which was an endless black shadow space.
But at least they were safe!
At the same time, without the support of Yami's Dark Magic and Vangeance's World Tree Magic.
The Evil World Tree Magic Array lost its effect, the Gate of the Underworld automatically closed, and no new demon figures could be seen appearing.
However, even if it didn't close, no demons would come out for a short time.
But the black flame, which burned more and more fiercely, even using the castle's stone walls as fuel, made Nacht Faust, who was peering out with half his body from the shadow, frown deeply.
"What kind of flame is this? Why can't I feel any magic power?"
"Judging from how it appeared from the magic array, it should be from the Underworld."
Nacht Faust wanted to try if he could trap these black flames in his shadow space.
But he was worried that they could even burn the shadow, which would be troublesome if it got out of control.
For a moment, the vice-captain of the Black Bulls fell into hesitation.
The key issue was that if he left it unchecked, not only would the castle be completely destroyed, but the people inside the city, and even outside the city, would be threatened.
So no matter what.
In the end, they must find a way to deal with these black flames from the Underworld.
On the other side.
In a garden on the southeast side of the kingdom castle.
Captain Charlotte Roselei of the Coral Peacock Magic Knight Squad and Captain Rill Boismortier of the Aqua Deer Magic Knight Squad.
Were teaming up against Vanica, one of the Dark Triad, and Queen Lolopechka of the Heart Kingdom, who had been captured and had her body and mind controlled by Vanica.
Although Charlotte's Briar Creation Magic: Blue Rose could suppress Vanica's demon power to a certain degree.
Facing Vanica, who had unleashed one hundred percent of her demon power and was using Blood Magic at full strength.
The two Captains were still finding it difficult to cope; the seemingly intense combat was actually incredibly tough.
Not to mention, there was also Queen Lolopechka, who naturally possessed enormous magic power.
Although she lacked the boost from the Water Spirit Undine.
The Water Magic she cast still made it difficult for Captain Rill, even when using his Painting Magic, Adamantine Arm of the Underworld Giant, at full strength, to barely resist.
After the giant water ball instantly destroyed the Stone Giant, the remaining power still blasted him away.
Queen Lolopechka, who never learned offensive magic, possessed an amount of magic power far exceeding these Captains.
Of course, at this moment, the demon power inside her body also provided a slight amplifying effect.
Fortunately, when Charlotte and Rill fell into crisis.
Noelle and Gauche, transforming into water flow and lightning respectively, arrived in the nick of time and took on Vanica and Queen Lolopechka's attacks.
The situation that followed was exactly the same as in the canon story.
Noelle, using the Sanctuary Magic: Sea God Valkyrie's Robe Armor developed through Spirit Dive with the Water Spirit Undine, easily suppressed Vanica, the demon possessor who controlled blood.
One technique, Sea Dragon's Roar, directly destroyed the Red Beast head-on, and the rapidly spinning water stream lance in her hand directly pierced Vanica's abdomen.
Finally, she turned the water stream lance into a water stream sword and held it against Vanica's throat, which was covered in blood, definitively deciding the victory or defeat of this combat.
"Ah, ah... ah... That was a great fight, so exhilarating, so satisfying..."
"You've gotten stronger again, Noelle, truly worthy of being my rival, my friend..."
However, Vanica, who was severely wounded, looked at Noelle with a look of obsession and muttered to herself.
Her desire for high-quality combat had exceeded the scope of fanaticism and reached a pathological degree.
The reason Vanica supported opening the Gate of the Underworld.
Was to let the demons kill all the weaklings, and then let the remaining strong ones satisfy her combat desire.
Truly psychotic.
But just as Noelle was about to strike the killing blow, preparing to take revenge for her mother.
A large amount of pitch-black demonic power suddenly spewed from Vanica's mouth, nose, and eyes.
This vast evil demonic power instantly pushed Noelle away.
The next second.
All the demonic power condensed on Vanica's body into a terrifying figure.
It was the Supreme Demon from the Underworld Seventh Layer.
Known as the source of all curse magic in the world... Megicula!
