"Holy Maiden, demon invasion! The number is at least a few million!"
On the high platform, Crescent Moon Queen quickly received the news. Her face changed, a few million demons attacking! Heaven! The Crescent Moon Kingdom hadn't faced such a massive demon invasion for many years.
She looked up at the sky, already able to see the dense demonic aura surrounding the capital. The overwhelming demonic aura indicated the astonishing quantity of demons in this onslaught. These demons had silently approached. Where did they come from? However, now was not the time to contemplate such matters.
"Fortunately, we were prepared early, and the Goddess has already sent down an angel in advance." Bishop Ferren, although shocked by the scale of the demons, was not overly worried. Due to the earlier discovery of demons, the defensive strength of the capital had already been significantly strengthened.
They had also prepared a ritual in advance, allowing the Crescent Moon Goddess to send down an angel. Combined with the city's inherent defense, Bishop Ferren believed it wouldn't be difficult to withstand the onslaught.
"Mo, stay by my side. I will send a squad of knights to protect you." Crescent Moon Queen quickly turned around and said to Su Mo. As the Holy Maiden, she could temporarily exert the power of a Demi God in critical situations.
"Kathy, send people to evacuate the crowd. It's too risky with so many people gathered here.
"Bishop Ferren, continue preparing the summoning ritual. In case the Demon Army is too fierce, we might need the intervention of the Goddess and Angels." Crescent Moon Queen quickly made arrangements.
The battles involving high-level beings would have far-reaching consequences. If demons breached the city, with so many people gathered here, they would undoubtedly become targets. A powerful demon launching a high-impact attack could result in countless casualties.
Although there were magic circles, demons might still break through. At this moment, Crescent Moon Queen couldn't afford to take this risk."Demons are invading! Everyone, quickly evacuate. It's too dangerous with so many people; demons might target us!" Soon, numerous mages used amplification magic to spread the news of the demonic invasion.
"Oh God, demons are invading!"
"Quick, go home! There are too many people here."
On the square, the crowd began to stir.
"Demons are invading no wonder the capital is in chaos. What should we do?"
"Stay here for now. We can't leave; let's assess the situation first," the Protagonists inside the group quickly reached a consensus.
Despite the decision of some Protagonists to leave the capital, the risk of leaving now was too great. They had already seen the soaring demonic energy, and demons were everywhere outside. Was it worth going out to certain death?
While many people were evacuating, these Protagonists moved toward the grand cathedral. On the other side, several Villains were closely watching them, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Meanwhile, outside the capital, demon armies had already charged from multiple directions.
"Sacred Cross Slash!" A sweet voice rang out as a bright sword light appeared, sweeping away many demons at the forefront.
"An angel!" A powerful demon narrowly avoided her attack.
"You won't be proud for long!" The demon sneered.
At the same time, within the capital, beneath a mansion, an underground space completely sealed by a magic circle.
Hundreds of people, wearing red robes, stood in a blood-red hexagram formation, holding hands. They recited eerie words that sounded extremely strange. If one looked closely, their wrists had already been cut. The hexagram formation, colored in blood, was illuminated by their fresh blood. Finally, their blood lit up the entire hexagram formation.
These hundreds of people were extremely weak, but their faces displayed fanatical devotion. They were the fanatical assassins cultivated by several Duke-level Villains.
After the hexagram formation lit up, the blood-colored light filled the entire underground space, creating an eerie atmosphere. Then, these hundreds of people, with their last strength, bit off their own tongues and fell down. The blood-colored light in the hexagram formation suddenly intensified.
"Haha, the passage is open." In the Abyss, in front of the Long Nail Demon God, an evil magic circle had also lit up. This figure, already clad in pitch-black armor, wielded a peculiar weapon. A glance at it would terrify any child. He laughed and charged into the magic circle. Behind him, a dense horde of demons roared, following him into the passage.
"Boom!" In almost an instant, the Long Nail Demon God appeared in that underground space. His body had barely emerged when everything in that space shattered with a resounding explosion. All the bodies, all things, were completely disintegrated between his demonic aura and the laws of the World of the Gods.
Nothing could withstand the collision between his demonic aura and the laws of the World of the Gods, except for the evil hexagram formation itself. Immediately after, the entire body of the Long Nail Demon God burst out of the shattered space.
"Boom!" This time, the massive mansion seemed to have been hit by a nuclear bomb, instantly exploding.
"Hahaha!" The colossal demonic body of the Long Nail Demon God emerged, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire capital.
"Demon God!" The angel outside the capital sensed the powerful aura, turned around, and saw the towering figure of the Long Nail Demon God. Her face instantly changed.
"Little angel, isn't this surprise thrilling?" In front of the angel, the powerful demon she had almost killed revealed a sinister smile.
"Why would a Demon God directly descend into the capital?" At this moment, in the Holy See headquarters, Bishop Ferren's face also changed drastically.
The aura of the Demon God was overwhelmingly powerful. As he appeared in the capital, those who accidentally looked at the Long Nail Demon God were almost petrified. Directly staring at a God had severe consequences, not something to be taken lightly.
Crescent Moon Queen had already started praying, showing no signs of panic.
On the other side, the Long Nail Demon God had already lunged forward. The place of his descent was still about ten kilometers away from the Holy See headquarters, but everyone felt a suffocating sensation. However, this distance was nothing for him; he was closing in on the headquarters in the blink of an eye.
He rushed through, disregarding the magic circles on the way. His target was the Holy See headquarters, where the most devout followers of the Crescent Moon Goddess were concentrated. He aimed to capture all these followers whose souls were purer than ordinary people, as they were the best nourishment for him.
Behind him, a large number of demons followed suit, charging towards the Holy See headquarters. These demons did not cause chaos in the capital; instead, they followed him towards the headquarters.
"Quick, pray! Open a passage for the Goddess!" Inside the temple, numerous temple maidens were conducting a summoning ritual. However, Crescent Moon Goddess had just performed a wide-ranging blessing, and summoning another angel or her personal descent required time. The time available, although not too long, was still not enough!
