Chapter 2031: Abyssal Descent, Sweeping Away the Rotten

With his heart wavering, Kesita almost failed to keep up with Tailun's spellcasting rhythm, but this slight anomaly was still noticed by Tailun, and even by all the other members of the squad.

"Kesita, do you know the other party? Is he from your Yierlan?"

The number of high-level Mages is limited, and they are all top-tier powers of their respective nations, so they naturally have some knowledge of each other, but when it comes to details like appearance and voice, that is not necessarily the case.

Spellcasters often change their appearances, and it is not uncommon for them not to reveal their true faces in public places.

That is why Tailun and the other members of the squad thought at this moment that Kesita knew the Luke below, and this conclusion seemed to have stirred up certain memories.

Suweilisi immediately thought of a name: "He is Luke, isn't he! I have seen him once before; I didn't react just now, but Kesita reminded me, and I am certain that is Luke!"

Of the four Elves present, not every one of them had seen Luke, but two of them could also confirm it.

Although it was not spoken openly, the atmosphere within the squad had clearly become somewhat strange. Everyone knew Luke's identity; Yierlan had just recently had a Magic Bloodline Family emerge, and now even the Crown King's close minister had appeared as a Demon Descendant, which made it hard not to arouse everyone's vigilance.

Even Kesita might not necessarily not be a Demon Descendant in disguise.

For a moment, even Xia Duo felt like he was riding a tiger and unable to get off. Just as he was hesitating whether to summon the Floating City, an accident happened again. Suweilisi was suddenly shocked, and his voice showed a tremor that perhaps even he himself had not noticed:

"Aleikesa? Why is it him!"

Aleikesa, presumably, was the other high-level Mage below, but judging from Suweilisi's near-uncomposed reaction, everyone simultaneously associated him with the follower of the Yilisier Mianwang of Keman, who also seemed to be named Aleikesa!

A follower and a close minister are somewhat different; a close minister, in the end, has a relatively equal cooperative relationship with the Crown King, and it is just a difference in title whether you are the Crown King or I am the subordinate today.

But a follower needs to issue a vow of allegiance to the superior, and every word and action can almost represent the superior's attitude. Now that Aleikesa has appeared here—in the identity of a Demon Descendant—does Yilisier Mianwang know about it?

If he does not know, then there is still something to be said. If he does know, then it is inevitable to wonder if Yilisier Mianwang himself has also become a Demon Descendant.

"Impossible, this is impossible. I just saw Aleikesa a few days ago; how could he be a Demon Descendant!"

Suweilisi clearly could not accept such a reality and roared at the bottom: "Base Demon Descendant mongrel, how dare you transform into the likeness of His Majesty Yilisier's follower, thus blaspheming the glory of Keman. I swear I will expose your true face and then make you die in pain under the burning of the fierce Demon Fire!"

But immediately after, a light laugh came from below, "So it is Uncle Suweilisi, can you not even recognize me? We even had tea together the day before yesterday!"

"You—"

Now Suweilisi could no longer pretend not to see. He closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, they were filled with murderous intent, "Why? If you encountered any difficulties, you could have come to me or the Crown King to solve them. Why betray the Crown King, betray Keman? Why! Answer me!"

"How do you know I betrayed the Crown King? Don't you know that the Crown King is also one of us?"

Suweilisi was about to retort, but Tailun stopped him, "Do not let him disturb your mind. He is stalling for time. Regardless of whether Yilisier Mianwang knows or not, let's capture this guy first!"

Actually, if it were not for the current situation, Tailun would be very happy to listen to the Aleikesa below tell the dark history of Keman, even if it were just a temporarily fabricated lie. If it spread to the outside world, with Aleikesa's identity as a guarantee, it could cause a huge blow to Keman's reputation.

But the current situation did not allow them to relax, and having Aleikesa himself was enough to deal a blow to the reputation of Keman and Yilisier Mianwang.

Of course, in terms of happiness, among the four Elves from different countries, Kesita from Yierlan was the most relaxed. Even if this mission failed, as long as the news that Aleikesa was a Demon Descendant could be brought out, the pressure currently gathered on Yierlan alone would be greatly reduced.

Although there was a slight possibility that Yilisier Mianwang was truly a Demon Descendant, Yierlan would not need to be at the forefront; the Northland Alliance would be most useful at this time.

As for whether the news could be sent out, Kesita was actually not worried. He had personally experienced the power of the Floating City, and since the owner of the Floating City was also present, the news would definitely be sent out.

—Eternal Stasis!

At this moment, the spell that Tailun had been preparing since the surprise attack was finally completed. But at the moment of casting, he actually had no confidence in his heart. The Aleikesa and Luke below clearly had the opportunity to counter, yet they still allowed him to complete the spell; there must be a reason for this.

The truth might lie with Luke, who had already transformed into a demon.

Thinking this way, Tailun continued to coordinate with the other three Elf Mages, preparing to cast another spell if the first one failed, but Xia Duo smelled a danger signal. He felt an obscure yet very powerful Abyssal Aura appear below.

This feeling was even worse than the demons he had seen before, almost comparable to the feeling of stepping into the Abyss from the Outer Planes!

Just then, he noticed Puman's suspicious gaze. His vigilance was raised to the extreme, and his heart stirred, ready to contact the Floating City to launch an attack, but at the most critical moment, the connection was lost.

At this moment, Xia Duo was extremely anxious. If he had known, he would have set it to automatically attack if there was no contact for three seconds. The current ten seconds felt so long!

The only thing to be thankful for was that he could still retreat freely for now. Even if he did not use the pre-teleportation method, there would not be much danger. After all, this was not like before; the destination was uncertain, so how could it be such a coincidence that someone was setting an ambush on the other side.

Just as Xia Duo was hesitating whether to call Puman to temporarily avoid the edge, a sudden change occurred below. The Magic Array of magic energy wandering outside the body of Luke, who had already transformed into Demon Form, completely merged with a certain mechanism of the Midian here. The floor of the hall had turned into a quagmire at some point, and at this moment, a massive amount of Abyssal Aura rose up.

Around Luke, other Demon Descendant Mages who had looked normal before now transformed into Demon Form one after another. The most exaggerated was Luke himself; already in Demon Form, he was infused with the massive Abyssal Aura at this moment, and his body expanded dozens of times over.

He almost filled the floor of the hall, and the demons transformed from the surrounding Demon Descendant Mages were squeezed into the corners of the walls. The only one who did not change form was Aleikesa. At this time, he had already stood on top of Luke's head, one hand gripping a spike on Luke's head, and the other pointing toward the top of the hall's towering dome. A cold and ruthless voice spilled from his mouth, carrying the evil spirit of the Abyss, rushing straight to the location of Xia Duo and his party—

"The hunting time has arrived. Come, kill me! Otherwise, it is you who will die!"
