Unlike before, this time Lucifer's person following is Jeanne of Arc.

Along the way, it was fine at the beginning, but the closer you get to Salem, the more people feel that there is a depressive atmosphere in the air.

After a while, a white mist appeared on a knight, and his expression was a little bit painful.

Although Lucifer didn't look back, he had noticed the changes in the knight behind him.

"Rufu, your time is up, now retreat immediately."

Lucifer yelled behind him.

"Wang, I can still..."

The knight named Rufu still wanted to insist.He wanted to fight side by side with his king, and like this, he left the field without even seeing the enemy.

Facing such a knight, Lucifer used the most direct method.

"This is an order.

Do you want to disobey my orders?"

"...Yes!"

After speaking, the knight immediately left the group and withdrew behind him.

"Listen, my knights.

Your retreat is not meaningless.This time the enemies are hidden in the dark, and we can't see what they really are.

Because of this, you must protect your lives for the enemies that may appear in front of us later.

There are people who find that they are unwell and return immediately.

Did you hear that"

At this moment, Lucifer continued to announce loudly to all the knights.

Although Lucifer's words have been explained, the knights are extremely aggrieved.

They are the king's most elite knights.From the defeat of France to the suppression of all the rebellions in the country, they have never been afraid, and have never taken a step back.

But now, without even knowing who the enemy is, they are going to retreat.

And all this came from Lucifer's command, the command to keep them alive, which made them even more guilty.

But in any case, in their hearts, the king's command is the first.

Only this is absolute.

"Yes!"

The team of 300 people and 300 continued to move forward, while others continued to return.When they came to the periphery of Salem, the magic in the air seemed to be a poisonous mist, which made people feel suffocating.

Compared with the previous two days, the concentration of magic power here has expanded a lot, and now, the knight is only half left.

Then, they finally saw their first enemy.Perhaps the enemy was inaccurate, because at the moment they were standing in front of a wolf with flames burning on his body.

It is more than five meters tall and more than ten meters long.

Full orange flame.

Just when Lucifer and the others saw it, the giant wolf was tearing up and crushing several people who were about to escape.

Behind the giant wolf, an iron gate can be seen slowly rising.

The situation did not give Lucy a reaction, because at some point, huge monsters also appeared on the other two sides.

It's just that this time it was a deformed bird, and a Chimera exuding black mist.

Within a moment, they seemed to have fallen into a situation of being surrounded.

There was a serious lack of intelligence, but the current situation was not the worst.Lucifer looked at the door that was about to close, and at the same time paid attention to these... huge monsters.

In his mind, he began to judge whether to solve these monsters first, or to enter Salem first.

At this moment, Percival took the initiative to stand up and say.

"Wang, that door is about to close.

Time is precious, let me wait here, please take a step first."

He also observed the anomaly of this door.If this thing is now an enchantment, then now is the best time to enter.

"Percival."

Lucifer did not hesitate anymore, or that there was not much time to hesitate.

"in!"

"I now appoint you as the commander here. I have only one order.

After I enter, follow up if I can enter.

If you can't, take all the knights back safely."

"Yes."

While accepting the order, Percival yelled.

"Open the way for the king."

"Yes!"

The light from the knights' swords quickly gathered on Percival's blade, and the sword in his hand was swept down, and the huge magic torrent caused the monster to evade immediately.

At the same time, Lucifer took Joan and quickly used this gap to enter the gate.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it himself, but in this unknown situation, his magic can save energy.

There may be a bigger battle afterwards.

At the last moment the door closed, Lucifer looked at Percival and nodded at him.

Percival saluted Lucifer with one hand, and then swung the sword in his hand, targeting these monsters in front of him.

Lucifer and Joan came to this gate, only to suddenly realize that the situation was different from what they had imagined.

The magic in the air here is not as strong as before, but when he thinks of the existence of nightmares, Lucifer instinctively feels that this place may be the home of nightmares.

What you see in front of you is a huge Gothic city, and the whole city is exuding a weird atmosphere under the moonlight.

"Strange, there is no such uncomfortable feeling here.

And the city in front of me...Is it really Salem?

It's completely different from what I saw outside."

Joan looked around, feeling a little strange.

"Enchantment, time and space may be distorted, and this place may have been alienated.

It may even be possible that we are already standing in a certain inherent barrier."

Lucifer was... soon discovered the problem with the current situation.

"Can the inherent barrier be projected into reality?"

Joan asked rhetorically at this time.

She is no longer Magic Xiaobai, so she feels there is a problem.

The inherent result that envelopes a city like the present, the magic power consumed will definitely be extremely huge.

She couldn't imagine who did it, and for what it was.

"There is an erosive inherent barrier that can do it.

The ordinary inherent barrier is to create your own world in reality, but the erosive barrier projects your own barrier to the present, forcibly distorting reality.

That's how it is, so that the external situation can also make sense."

"make sense"

"There is the boundary between reality and another world, so the magic power will be abnormally distorted.

In any case, what we have to do now is to find the problem as soon as possible, and then solve it.

Follow me, don't get lost."

"Ok."

With that said, Lucifer led Joan to the center of the city cautiously.

no.273 Strange Clinic

On a stone bridge leading to the center of the city, the battle was taking place, and the sound of sword blades hitting several times was heard in the air.

Then it went out again.

Lucifer put away the holy sword in his hand, and in front of his eyes, a tall figure of three meters tall had fallen, and his body quickly withered in a pool of blood.After a while, it turned into a corpse and then weathered.

At this time, Joan also put down the spear king banner in her hand, and she sighed.

She had already prepared for the battle, but it was the first time in actual combat, so she had some adverse reactions.

The Salem in front of me is no longer the small town I saw in the distance.It looks more like a metropolis that once prospered but is now falling into decline.

Lucifer walked into the city with Joan of Arc, and a building in front of him gave him a seed: returning to the illusion of Losric.

However, the illusion is only an illusion.

"How are you, Jeanne"

Lucifer noticed Joan of Arc's somewhat ugly face.

"Well, it's just disgusting."

"As far as your first actual combat is concerned, this level of scene may be a bit too exciting...

If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself, it's okay for me to carry you on my back."

After thinking about it, Lucifer said.

She is still in the danger zone, and walking with her is obviously not as convenient as carrying her.

After all, you need to hold it with your hands, but the back: but not.

In this way, both hands can be used to fight.

"It's okay, it's just a bit disgusting, it will be fine for a while.

Don't worry, Lucifer.

With you by my side, I will never force myself to mess around."

"Ok."

Lucifer didn't say any more, they kept going.

The steps under my feet have been walking for a long time, but I haven't seen a person as tall as before.

After a short while walking up the steps, Lucifer and Joan came to the main street of the city, if they had previously thought.

There is no human figure here, and the red moon in the sky gradually becomes deep, as if it is a reverse timing.

Suddenly, Lucifer sensed that something was wrong in front of him, and he pulled over Jean to hide in the alley next to him.

"Shh!"

Lucifer put a finger on Joan's mouth and gestured outside with his eyes.

Joan looked at the corner of the street outside the alley.

An already crazy carnival was being staged there at this time.

More than a dozen peasant human figures are spinning around a roaring flame, and the red light in their eyes can be vaguely seen through the light.

Not surprisingly, these people were also hopeless.

"Great god, I am waiting for everything.

I beg you to come here."

A male in the center raised his arm high and yelled at the sky.

Following this, others made the same action.
