Chapter 205 Zudir's Unrest
A few days ago, when President Hades gave the order to send half of the guild's top brass to carry out this operation, Zudir had a premonition, a premonition that he would not live long.
He had this feeling once a long time ago, when he was not the goat he is today, but a real human being.
Twenty years ago, Zudel was still a young man, working as a waiter in the home of Heartfilia, the largest railway consortium in the Kingdom of Fiore. He was highly valued and the name of the hostess was Layla Heartfilia.
Leila was once a very good celestial wizard and possessed three celestial keys of the zodiac. When she retired from the magic world, she gave the three keys to her servants. The one Zudel received was the key of Capricorn, and the celestial name was Caplico.
Seven years ago, in order to open the Eclipse Gate, Leila summoned all the owners of the Golden Palace Astral Keys. Zudir was invited and gave his key without hesitation, but because of the lack of Aquarius's key, Leila used her own vitality to fill the gap, and eventually died of magic deficiency.
He avenged his mistress, returned the key to Aquarius to Leila, and finally left with Caplico.
Later, he joined the Devil's Heart.
In order to form a high-level combat force for the guild, the Seven Families of Purgatory, the president Hades specially taught him his lost magic, the subordination of humanity.
This magic can make humans become one's puppets and obey one's orders. In ancient times, it was called "the magic of the king". The only taboo is that it cannot be used on "non-human" objects.
But Zudir still broke this taboo. People who blindly pursue strength have more or less abnormal brains. At that time, Zudir wanted to completely control the Protoss that had followed him for three years, so he used human subordination magic on it.
That day was the first time he felt the crisis that his life was coming to an end.
And what happened afterwards was indeed no different from death. He completely merged with Capricho and became a goat-like monster.
And now, it’s the second time!
"Why... this feeling still persists?" Looking at the ruined magic academy in front of him, Zudir couldn't help but feel irritated. "Could there be an enemy?"
"No...the devil's heart is invincible!"
Despite trying his best to convince himself, Zudir still gathered his men together with trepidation.
Soon after, four monsters came over. They were: Akazu, a rooster monster using egg magic; Yumaz, a gorilla warrior using word magic; Militz, a dog-headed ninja using vibration magic; and Halz, a venomous snake monster using poison gas magic.
In the guild, they are elite vanguard members, second only to the seven followers in strength.
"Lord Zudel, what can I do for you?"
Zudir watched his men gather together, and the uneasiness in his heart subsided a little: "Have you found any powerful people?"
Several people looked at each other and replied, "Boss, no!"
"Everyone I met was so vulnerable. Is this really the famous magic academy?"
"Too weak, no rival at all!"
The monsters mocked and ridiculed arrogantly, not taking this ancient academy with a long history seriously at all.
After hearing his men's words, Zudir felt that the uneasiness in his heart became even worse.
"Let's act together from now on, and retreat immediately once we get what we want!"
Although they didn't know why their boss' attitude was so strange today, the monster brothers quickly agreed: "Okay, boss!"
More than two hours had passed since the operation began, and the combat forces remaining in the academy had completely lost the ability to resist, so they were in no hurry to continue destroying buildings and diverting attention, but instead began the final effort to eradicate the evil forces.
Five inhuman-looking humanoid monsters walked in a group and slowly advanced on the ruins of the academy. They did not let go of any corner, and even dug out and killed the dying people who were buried in the ruins and had their last breath. They were simply insane and outrageous.
Puff, puff, puff…
Attacking the monsters was like a machine gun firing wildly, pouring out bullets made of eggs, piercing the earth walls and shattering the stones. At this moment, hitting the stone with the egg was no longer a way to self-destruction.
"Really? There's someone alive here? I almost missed it!"
After a bombing, egg bullets blew up a hidden hiding place. Under the cracked earth wall, there was an old man with a bloody head and three or four children in the uniforms of Demisool College who were protected behind him .
Their whereabouts were exposed, and the children began to tremble uncontrollably, their dull eyes revealing helplessness, despair and hatred.
The old man knew that his death was approaching, but he still wanted to buy a little more time for the children behind him. He shouted firmly: "You guys, the dean will not let you go!"
“Hehehe!!”
"What's a mere dean?! We have mobilized nearly half of the entire guild's forces this time!!"
Unlike his subordinates who were bent on showing off the strength of their guild in front of the weak, Zudir was in no mood to stay in a place like this any longer. He just wanted to complete the mission and leave here as soon as possible. His sense of crisis was growing stronger and stronger!
So he said coldly: "No need to waste time talking nonsense, quickly deal with them and let's move on."
The four subordinates immediately took action: "Okay, boss!"
"Egg explosion!!"
"Solid text, BOOM!!"
"Shockwave!"
"Gas spray!"
Four magic spells with different attributes but equally deadly attacked at the same time, with extremely fast speed and strong power, and were about to fall on several people.
The old man gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "Damn it! Is it over?"
At the critical moment, a beam of holy white light fell vertically from the sky and hit the four magics accurately.
“Smash!”
The cold shout mixed with anger was clearly audible, shocking everyone present!
boom!!!
White light fell, and a huge magic ball of light exploded. The powerful magic contained in the ball of light easily disintegrated the four attacks, stirring up several feet of smoke and dust, blocking the view.
"Are you...are you saved?"
The old man and the child muttered in disbelief, and before they could recover from the shock, a push gently sent several people out of the battlefield.
Zudir's heart was suddenly alarmed by the unexpected change, and he asked loudly, "Who is it?!"
Here it comes! The source of that strong premonition! It's this person! Will he put me in a near-death situation again?
Zudir wanted to retreat, but he felt that he could not embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, so he was in a dilemma.
Facing an unknown enemy, the five monster-like figures were on guard, alert, looking around, with magic in their hands ready to go.
“Run through!”
In the smoke and dust, two beams of white light suddenly attacked, as fast as a gust of wind and as powerful as lightning.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two sounds of breaking through the air were heard at the same time. The dog-headed ninja and the snake-headed man didn't even have time to defend themselves . They didn't even have time to scream. They were directly pierced through by magic, and a big hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters appeared on each of their bodies!
"What?!"
The warm blood splashed on Achaz, and the rooster monster was horrified and shook off its red-stained white feathers in fear.
Realizing that his teammate was dead, the gorilla warrior acted decisively and swung his samurai sword several times, writing a big "清" (clear) in the air in an attempt to clear the smoke and restore vision.
"Solid text, clear!"
However, before the text was sent out, another identical magic attack came and directly shattered the text that had just been formed!
"blasting!"
After a loud shout, there were two more loud noises.
Boom! Boom!
“Ahhh!”
This time, the ones attacked were the gorilla warrior and the rooster monster. They did scream, but they still couldn't defend against the magic attack of the unknown enemy. After two screams, they were blown to pieces and covered in blood!
Hearing the screams of his four subordinates, Zudir felt even more uneasy: "What's wrong? What happened to you four?!"
Soon, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a blood-red ground.
