My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 117, Section 116: The Demon Race, Annihilated! Celia is shocked.

Royal capital, residence.

"Thump."

A dull, soft sound did not come from the outside, but from within the chest.

Celia instinctively pressed her hand to her chest, abruptly stopping her conversation with Ashley.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and an unprecedented, intense feeling of palpitation surged up without warning.

It seems something important is subtly changing. "—Miss Celia, what's wrong?"

Ashley watched with concern as the other person's expression changed instantly.

Celia took a deep breath, trying to calm her inexplicable palpitations, while silently spreading her senses outwards.

The mansion, the garden, the streets—everything in the capital seemed to be as usual.

"It's nothing."

She gave a reluctant response, just as she was about to steer the conversation back to the disappearance of the fourth prince!

In that instant, a familiar yet extremely faint magical fluctuation, like a candle flickering in the wind, suddenly entered her perception range!

It's Gu Yuan!

The feeling was like a glaring red dot suddenly appearing on a previously smooth and blank map.

What alarmed her even more was that, before this, the area had given her an unnatural feeling of "nothingness".

Her senses were completely blocked by some kind of force.

"?!"

Celia's thoughts were instantly interrupted, and she found the source of her earlier palpitations.

Something had been lurking near the capital all along, and she had been completely unaware of it.

What unsettled her most was that the magical energy fluctuations belonging to Gu Yuan had become extremely weak, as if they might be extinguished at any moment.

"Why are you so weak?" She suddenly stood up from the sofa, her face serious.

"Miss Celia, you—"

Ashley also became nervous.

Her gaze unconsciously followed Celia's eyes to the window, but was mercilessly blocked by the layers of buildings, and she could see nothing.

Celia had no time to explain; her entire focus was already on the task at hand.

She sensed invisible tendrils that rapidly spread in the direction from which the fluctuations originated.

She "looked" at the area outside the city that had once been completely empty.

However, just as her senses were about to reach the core, Gu Yuan's aura vanished completely, like a candle flame being extinguished.

Seria's doubts suddenly intensified.

Disappearance? Is it death, or—

Rewind one minute to the beginning, in the wilderness of the royal capital, at the center of the battlefield.

Smoke billowed, and the air was filled with the mingled scents of magic remnants and blood.

The earth was covered with cracks, and the once lush forests were completely destroyed, forming a huge circular open space.

"cough-

Gu Yuan leaned on his cane and coughed violently, his chest burning with pain.

"It really burned out."

He stared at the four broken pieces of the replica divine sword and the head of Lefold that had been completely severed by the wand, let out a long breath of foul air tinged with blood, and collapsed to the ground as if utterly exhausted.

Ashes drifted in the wind beside him, carrying the desolation of the battle's end.

"One-tenth of my magic power remains."

"My fighting spirit has been almost completely drained."

"He's only unleashed his ultimate move three times."

3

Three all-out attacks, each only managed to cut through the surface of the opponent's skin, with the outcome primarily decided by magic.

Gu Yuan had to admit that when facing certain extremely powerful individuals, magic was the key to bridging the gap in power.

Feeling the emptiness and weakness within his body, Gu Yuan remembered that there were still four months until the final change of the Two Realms Gate.

The threat of the demons hangs like the Sword of Damocles.

Time is still of the essence.

He struggled to sit up, put his wand away, and glanced in the direction where Livale had thrown the fourth prince.

As I walked over, what came into view was the remaining half-kneeling body of Livale.

Gu Yuan's eyes darkened slightly: "You—"

Livale's only remaining eye moved with difficulty, and his voice was broken and fragmented:

"You're back. It seems—Reveldi has finally fallen to you."

"Even that—replica of the divine sword—couldn't stop you?" A bitter smile played on his lips. "—You win. The barrier—is about to dissipate—"

"Nammenlos—will—know—"

He coughed up the last of the bloody froth, his voice growing weaker and weaker: "Don't—stop—and don't let the weak—kill you..."

The moment his words fell, as if to deliver his unfinished last words, Livale's remaining body finally reached its limit. Like a sandcastle in the wind, he completely collapsed, turning into a last handful of ashes and dissipating into the world.

A sense of desolation spread through the air.

Gu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then raised his head, his gaze piercing through the sparse trees to see the twisted figure in the bushes not far away.

The fourth prince's neck was tilted at an unnatural angle.

Yiyi is beyond saving.

hum!

Just then, a powerful and familiar sense swept across the area like a tidal wave!

Gu Yuan's barely relaxed mind tightened again. It was Celia!

The moment he looked up, he immediately realized how bad his condition was.

His magic power was depleted, his fighting spirit was exhausted, and his body was on the verge of its limit.

If it were to fall into Celia's hands now, even with the Ring of Domination, there would be no guarantee of safety.

With a thought, his remaining magic surged, and his figure immediately vanished from the spot.

However, just as the spatial fluctuations were about to subside—a flash of light—Gu Yuan's figure returned once more.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the fourth prince's cold corpse. The next moment, the two figures disappeared into the distorted air. He was powerless to deal with the battle marks scattered all over the ground.

However, as long as it is not directly related to the real identity of "Gu Yuan", there is still room for maneuver.

About ten minutes later.

Celia, with Ashley by her side, rushed to the last marked location in their senses as quickly as possible.

However, the sight that came into view made even the well-informed archmage gasp in surprise.

The scene was scarred, the earth cracked, and the charred marks intertwined with the lingering, violent magic that told the story of the fierce battle that had taken place not long ago.

A sizable camp was completely destroyed, and all of this happened right under her nose!

"The work of the demons!"

She instantly realized that the scale of destruction and the residual magical characteristics were beyond the capabilities of any ordinary force.

But another, even more alarming problem then arises:

What is their goal? Is it to punish Gu Yuan, who opposes them?

So what about Gu Yuan? What role did he play here? Is he still alive?

Recalling that moment of palpitation and the extremely faint fluctuations in Gu Yuan's energy, an unbelievable guess entered my mind.

Could it be him?

How could one person annihilate all the enemies here and destroy this demon stronghold?

When did he acquire this power?

Subconsciously, Celia glanced at the Domination Stone Ring disguised as an ornament on her ankle, the cool touch making her feel a strange, indescribable restlessness.

An unease, a sense that things were about to spiral out of control, mixed with worry about Gu Yuan's current situation, surged into my heart.

then.

Celia looked up abruptly, her sharp gaze sweeping across the ruins:

"We must find him as soon as possible!"

"immediately!"

To confirm its power.

To confirm whether he had truly grown to such a terrifying degree.

If all of this were true, then Celia felt a chill in her heart, already able to imagine the outcome of her futile attempt to escape.
