Chapter 899: Leopard Change

 “Get out of the way, Algard!”

Duanmu Huai jumped up and raised the war hammer in his hand high towards the altar in front of him. And hearing his roar, Algard also hurriedly stepped back. Then Duanmu Huai roared angrily and slammed down the altar in front of him.

 “Boom!”

The flashing war hammer hit the center of the altar directly, colliding with the erupting pillar of fire. The next moment, the pillar of fire that was originally sprayed out quickly spread and exploded, followed by a scream that sounded like a scream and completely dissipated. The altar in front of him was smashed to pieces by Duanmu Huai.

 “Uhhhhhhhhh!”

 However, things did not end there. At the same time as Duanmu Huai took action, the surrounding guards who were originally responsible for guarding seemed to have been contaminated by the magic elves. Their eyes were radiating dazzling magic light, and their whole bodies quickly began to dry up. In the blink of an eye, , each of the relatively strong young men turned into mummy-like monsters. They waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards others.

 For a time, there was chaos all around.

"What exactly is going on?"

Seeing the scene in front of her, Agnesphia was also shocked. She held the magic sword in her hand and didn't know what to do for a moment when facing the soldiers rushing towards her. Fortunately, she then waved the rotating warhammer like a whirlwind. Sweeping through, the guards around Anisphia were swept away.

“Anesphia, go check the situation in other places immediately! Let’s wait until the matter here is resolved!”

 “Ah, oh...!”

After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Anisphia recovered from the shock, then hurriedly took out her magic broom and rode on it, then soared into the sky and rushed towards the Union Army camp not far away. .

At this moment, the entire altar has become a mess. Almost all the nobles have mutated into subspace monsters under the control of magic elves, and the guards are not much different. Only a few people, including Duanmu Huai, are still safe.

 “Drink————!”

Algard roared and drew out the long sword from his waist, and slashed it head-on at the guard in front of him. However, when the sharp sword hit the guard, he saw it hit the hard steel and was bounced away. . On the contrary, the guard in front of him was not moved by Algard's attack at all, and waved his weapon directly towards him - and then an invisible thread flashed past, and Oji sat on Duanmuhuai's shoulder. Silk's right hand opened slightly, and the silk thread that turned into a spider web suddenly tightened, instantly cutting all the surrounding guards into pieces.

 “Lumiel, what are you doing?”

 “I can’t control the magic elves, they are completely beyond my control!”

 “What a waste!”

Hearing Lumiere's answer, Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. Lumiere was just a great elf in name only. If those magic elves didn't have self-awareness, maybe she could still Use elf magic, but since those magic elves have self-awareness, then... Lumiere is basically just a polished commander.

 “What a clever person, protect others from leaving the altar! Evacuate downwards first!”

 “Okay, big brother!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Zhen Ji Ling nodded vigorously. Then she faced the guards blocking the way in front and threw out the grenade in her hand. With the explosion of the grenade, icy cold air instantly overflowed, turning the guards into ice cubes. Then Zhenjiling quickly took out the shotgun from his waist, aimed forward and pulled the trigger hard.

 “Boom!”

Under the bombardment of high-explosive bombs, the guard's body, which was strong enough to withstand long sword attacks, exploded directly, and the real Ji Ling also quickly waved his hands to Euphilia, Algard and others behind him.

"follow me!"

 “Roar ah ah ah ah!!”

Here, Zhenjiling was covering the others to quickly evacuate the altar, but over there, the nobles who had completely mutated into subspace monsters obviously would not let them leave. Soon, only a noble monster with a body as fat as a bed bug was seen. It suddenly opened its mouth, and a huge fireball shot out from its mouth, blasting in the direction of Zhen Ji Ling and others - however, this powerful fireball hit the hard black armor the next moment, and then completely dissipate.

 “Come on, **** of the warp!”

Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and stared at the mutated nobles and guards in front of him, with fanatical flames shining in his eyes.

 “It’s time for you to taste destruction and death!”

 Sure enough, beating is the most enjoyable thing!

While Duanmu Huai was confronting the monster at the altar, the entire Northland Fortress was completely in chaos.

"how come………"

Across the fortress and looking at the battlefield below, Anisphia was also shocked. At this moment, the entire Northland Fortress and even the Union Army camp had turned into a nightmare scene. Not only the nobles, but in fact many soldiers and guards of the Union Army have also turned into strange mummy-like beings. Only a handful of adventurers have not been affected by the magic elves and are fighting desperately at this moment - but even I'm afraid they can't stop such an offensive. Not to mention, there are also their comrades and companions among them...

 Is this the purpose of magical elves?

Looking at the scene in front of her, Anisphia clenched her fists. She remembered that Duanmu Huai had warned her before that magic elves were definitely not a good thing. In fact, Lumiere also said the same. But Agnesphia didn't actually take it too seriously at the time. The reason is also very simple. Agnesphia cannot be affected by magical elves, nor can she conclude an elven contract, so even if she wants to do something, she can't do anything.

At this moment, Anisphia glanced around subconsciously, and then - her eyes widened in surprise.

"how come………!"

"boom!"

 Heavy gunshots echoed in the corridor. Facing the power of interstellar technological weapons, even the guards enhanced by magic were as fragile as tofu. The real Ji Ling held the shotgun tightly with both hands and stared ahead. Behind her were Algard, Euphilia, Lumiere, and warriors and magicians from the Adventurers Association.

The group of people rushed through the corridor as fast as possible and arrived at the door on the other side. Then Zhenji Ling opened the door and rushed into the room.

"Roar---!"

At the same time that Zhen Ji Ling entered the room, the guards standing on both sides of the corner shouted, raised their spears, and stabbed Zhen Ji Ling hard. However, at the same time, an arc of light flashed, and the piercing spear was blown away by Zhen Ji Ling's shield. At the same time, Zhen Ji Ling pulled the gun bolt hard again and aimed at the enemy.

 “Bang bang!”

With the violent explosion, the soldiers in full armor were immediately blown into pieces. At this time, other people rushed in and quickly closed the door.

"What exactly is going on……?"

"Now how to do?"

"The situation is not good." Algard walked to the window and looked outside, only to see the whole camp filled with roars and screams.

"I really didn't expect that the magic elf would do such a thing... No, although I had expected it..."

Muttering to himself in a low voice, Algard clenched his fists.

 “What is going on? Your Highness Prince Algard?”

At this moment, the representative of the Adventurers Association who came back to his senses also looked at Algard in surprise.

"Why does such a problem occur? Is there something wrong with the ritual? Or is it the devil's fault?"

　　　…………”

Hearing the other party's question, Algard hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

“This is not something done by the demons, and there is nothing wrong with the ritual... In fact, this is what the magic elves did!”

"What?"

 Hearing Algard's answer, the representatives of the Adventurers Association were shocked.

"What is going on? Magic elves...don't magic elves protect the Kingdom of Paretia?"

Facing the questions raised by the adventurers, Algard was unable to answer for a while, but at this moment, another voice sounded.

"In fact, those magic elves are just pretending to protect humans. In the final analysis, they are just the same inferior existence as the demons."

With these words, the originally closed door opened with a bang, and then Duanmu Huai, covered in blood, strode in. Seeing Duanmu Huai's appearance, everyone hurriedly took a breath of air.

"Mr. Judge, those nobles..."

“A bunch of low-level subspace monsters can’t stop me.”

 Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"I know you have many questions in your heart, but there is no time to explain the specific situation now. It is enough for you to know that magic elves are actually the same things as the demons, trying to destroy humans, and now we have fallen into their trap. "

"this………"

"Oops!"

At this moment, Lumiere seemed to have thought of something and screamed loudly. And her cry also startled everyone.

 “What’s wrong? Lumiere?”

 “I just remembered!”

At this moment, Lumiere also looked pale and clenched her hands.

"The activation of the Great Barrier will be connected to the Royal City Barrier! In other words - when we activate the Great Barrier in the North Fortress..."

“Will the barrier of the royal city also be activated?”

“Yes, originally because the barrier of the Northland Fortress was closed, the connection between the two sides was also terminated. But now the great barrier of the Northland Fortress has been reactivated..."

  “Speak to the important points.”

“...The people in the royal city may also be infected by the magic elves.”

"What!?"

 Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Algard's face turned pale.

“You mean, the nobles who stay in the royal city will also be transformed into this kind of monster?”

"I'm not sure... because the big barrier has been completely destroyed by Mr. Inquisitor just now, and the connection only lasted a few minutes. If you are not very sensitive to magic elves, maybe it won't be too affected. But. It’s hard to say that someone like Miss Euphelia who is extremely sensitive to magical elves and has outstanding qualifications..."

"Oops!"

At this moment, Algard's expression also changed drastically.

 “The Ministry of Magic...!”

 “That’s not good————!”

However, at this moment, Anisphia suddenly rushed in from the window. If Duanmuhuai hadn't caught her with quick eyes and quick hands, Anisphia would have had a close contact with the pillar in front of her in the next moment.

 “What’s wrong? You’re in a panic.”

 “Demons!”

Facing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Anisphia brought even worse news.

“I just discovered that the demon army has appeared outside the Northland Fortress!”
