How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It was because of the existence of this magic circle that they did not dare to use magic and abilities to avoid being discovered. Moreover, this magic circle could protect the interior of the theater, all the areas covered, and block any magical or physical impact and damage.

Fortunately, although the effect is powerful, it is not without loopholes.

The drawings provided by Victoria showed that this magic circle had several blind spots in the theater, one of which was where he was now.

He took out a small bundle of detonator-shaped explosives from his waist, set up the device, and used the mechanical mouse to push it, along with some strong combustible materials, deep into the ventilation duct.

Leave the work area, take off the waiter's clothes, return to the fourth floor of the theater, and come to the rest platform on the left.

Nina, who had trapped the guard with her unique skills and charm and was happily communicating with him, saw Ed and waved, "Brother, I'm here."

"Thank you, my friend, for helping my sister."

As he worked with Nina to perform the play to the end, Ed's gratitude seemed very sincere.

"No, you're welcome."

"It's a pleasure chatting with you, Mr. Guard. If you have time, you can come to see me at No. 37 Canary Square, Xicheng District." Nina smiled slightly and suddenly reached out to hug the guard.

"Cough cough."

Ed couldn't help but cough. Although that was his identity, his frowning expression made him look like a brother who couldn't stand seeing his sister having close contact with other men.

"Sorry, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Nina stuck out her tongue, waved to the guard, and quickly followed Ed in front of her.

Although the beauty's embrace was fleeting, the guard could still feel the soft touch. Coupled with the imaginative words, he couldn't help but drift away in his mind and didn't notice that the key on his waist was returned to him.

In other words, he had no idea how many times the key had passed through his hands from beginning to end.

"Nothing went wrong, did it?"

"Ah."

After the performance, Ed returned to his calm state. After a brief reply, he left a message on the communication device indicating that both of them had completed the mission.

It was like opening Pandora's box, and members of the Thieves' Club left the same message one after another.

These intermittent messages are like actors behind the scenes of a stage. As long as everyone is ready, the performance will begin at the right time.

Yes, from the time Nina got the key to the time Ed installed the explosives and returned, it took less than ten minutes, and this time was just when the theater show was about to begin.

The oval dome of the Black Swan Theatre overlooks the people passing by on the street. It is a high point where you can take in all the surrounding low buildings, and naturally you can also hear the opening of the play.

"Pfft, this theater really knows how to name itself."

Satasia looked at the title of the play displayed on the ticket in her hand, which was "Burning Heart", and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then it seems that I need to help you set up the 'stage' again."

He casually threw it to the side, jumped down from the edge of the ceiling, and set up a special magic ritual according to the description on the blueprint given to him.

Weakens the aura of magic and increases the power of magic.

Coupled with Satasia's own lord-level rank, an "artificial explosive" with far more terrifying lethality than those installed by the members of the Thieves' Department is being quietly activated above the Black Swan Theater.

Inside the theater, following the announcement of the show's opening, all the audience members entered in an orderly manner along the aisles and took their seats.

Waiting for the show to begin.

Among them was Theodore, a senior officer of the City Guard Corps, who sat in the VIP seats on the third floor with his friend Lei Luo, also a senior officer but working in a different department.

Not only does this place have the best view of the stage, but it also offers a panoramic view of the theater below and other audience members in the seats, fully demonstrating the extraordinary status and identity.

Coupled with the Black Swan Theatre's own fame, VIP tickets for each performance are often hard to come by.

They also used connections and some tricks to get these two seats, which were not only of great price but also of great value.

At this moment, looking at many familiar and famous figures in Berghead sitting around him, Theodore couldn't help feeling a little proud, as if he had also integrated into the upper circle.

"This show is really extraordinary. It can attract so many big names."

"Is that Mrs. Crawleys?"

"The commander of the Third Legion, I didn't expect him to come here too."

"Leiluo?"

Theodore realized that he seemed to be performing a one-man show and turned his head away.

But before I could ask, the other party spoke first.

Lei Luo looked around the theater with a slightly solemn expression, "Theodore, do you feel that the temperature here is a little unusual?"

"You mean it's hot? It's normal for so many people to gather together."

Theodore remembered that his good friend was particularly sensitive to heat, and smiled in comfort.

Lei Luo shook his head, still looking troubled, and did not agree with his friend's explanation.

After all, even ordinary theaters would have magic circles to cool down the room. How could the Black Swan Theater, as the most famous theater in Berghead, not even consider this?

And most importantly, for some reason, he vaguely thought of all the unusual events that had happened in the city during this period of time.

"I hope it's my illusion."

Lei Luo comforted himself in his heart.

Theodore next to him was confused, but seeing that Relov didn't say much and the actors on the stage had already appeared, he didn't pay too much attention and concentrated on enjoying the show.

The story told by Liehuo Ranxin is based on the real event of "The Venus Mutation" a hundred years ago. It starts with the love between a young boy and a girl from two big families, and vividly presents the great disaster of the empire from their perspective.

Just from the huge amount of money the Black Swan Theater spent on publicity, one can see how excellent the script is, and in fact this is the case.

Not only are the props on the stage authentic, but each actor's acting also perfectly showcases the character's role, not to mention the excellent special performances and lines full of profound meaning.

Chapter 173: Flames Sweeping

Just the depiction of a few scenes at the beginning captured the attention of all the audience in the theater and completely immersed them.

Or rather, it's not just the audience, but also the actors on the stage.

In this almost real scene performance, it seems that he has forgotten his identity as an actor. As the scenes gradually transition, it seems as if he has really returned to the event of "The Transformation of Venus" a hundred years ago.

Experience firsthand the devastating disaster that empire suffered and the grand epic of the rise and fall of history.

"Ruth, where are you?"

"Ruth, please promise me that you will be okay!"

Roderick, the actor who played the male lead, shouted loudly.

He had forgotten that he was just an actor and was completely immersed in his role, worrying about his lover being in danger.

The feeling of worry turned into motivation, prompting him to keep moving around in the building engulfed in flames, looking for his lover.

It was hard to tell whether the fine beads of sweat on his forehead were due to running or the heat.

Even Roderick himself couldn't tell, because he was about to pass through a door frame that was burning with flames, but he retreated back because of the scorching temperature.

"We should find something to block the flames."

Roderick looked around, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

No, there doesn’t seem to be such a scene in the script?

Because the hero here breaks into the room directly and does not retreat at all because of the fire. The purpose is to express the hero's selfless heart for love and his tenacious character.

During the rehearsal, there was clearly nothing wrong with this scene...

Wait, scalding hot?

Aren’t these flames the effect of the magic circle? How could they possibly reflect the temperature?

unless……

Is this real flame!?

When this thought suddenly popped up in his mind, Roderick stepped back in horror, but was quickly frightened away by the burning feeling behind him. No matter where he was, he seemed to be surrounded by flames.

It's not a prop flame, but a real flame!

"It's on fire! Help me, get me out!"

The quiet atmosphere in the theater was suddenly broken by the terrified shouts on the stage, and all the audience who were immersed in the performance were also interrupted.

When they returned to reality from the performance, they either looked at each other in confusion or cast doubtful glances at the stage, having no idea what had happened.

on fire?

Isn't the effect of this stage performance taking place in a fire scene?

Get him out?

Isn’t the purpose of the male protagonist coming here to save people?

"The flame performance is so realistic. How much did it cost? I can almost feel the boiling temperature from here." Theodore marveled and fanned it with his hand as if he wanted to dispel the illusory heat.

But he soon noticed the shocked expression on his friend's face.

Then Theodore was completely stunned.

The next moment he saw that the flames on the stage spread out like a raging fire dragon, igniting the stage curtain and engulfing all visible objects around, dyeing them with warm colors.

"on fire!"

"Run!"

I don't know who shouted, but the audience finally reacted and left their seats one after another, fleeing in all directions, turning the originally quiet theater into a bustling market.

Because they found that not only the stage, but even the inside of the theater was emitting burning flames.

The orange flames blended into a raging fire, just like the disaster that happened on the stage a hundred years ago, engulfing the theater in the vast dust of history.

Although the crowd was in chaos, many people remained calm.

They are all people who have certain self-protection abilities or problem-solving abilities.

Among them are Theodore and Lei Luo.

"Lei Luo!"

Theodore shouted to his friend, waved his hand to remove the whole set of seats underneath and use them as shields to help him resist the rapidly spreading flames.

Long before the former reminded him, Lei Luo had already started chanting magic spells. He joined the army as a battlefield mage. As a senior officer, he was also a wizard who controlled the ice system.

Years of combat experience allowed him to naturally judge his current situation, so he planned to use a small magic that could be cast quickly to extinguish the surrounding flames and resolve the imminent crisis first.

However, as the short spell ended, the cold frost fell.

Both Lei Luo and those who had confidence in their friends' abilities were shocked.

Because after the ice and frost came into contact with the flames, they instantly melted and condensed into water vapor, and then were quickly melted away by the scorching temperature. The series of changes all happened in a very short period of time, as if they had never happened from beginning to end.

Or rather, it was not just Lei Luo and his group, but also the others in the theater who wanted to stop the fire from spreading.

The same ice method as Lei Luo, or the earth method of burying the fire with rocks and soil, the fire method of suppressing the fire source from itself, or the theater guards who rushed over to rescue, found that their methods had no effect at all.

Although magic and abilities have a mutually restraining effect, there is obviously only one explanation for this situation.

"This is not a natural fire, but a man-made magic."

Lei Luo's face darkened, and the caster was much stronger than them.

He immediately thought of his previous speculation that this situation must be deeply related to the previous case in Berghead.

"hateful."

Theodore kicked away the chair in front of him that was engulfed in flames, "We have to get out quickly. Lei Luo, I'll cover your back."

Lei Luo nodded and cast magic to protect the two of them, or to help the people around them to retreat slowly. Although he could not suppress the spreading fire, he could at least slow down the speed of the flames in front of him.

"Theodore, let's cover their retreat to the hall. This theater may not be saved, but the Black Swan Theater is protected by a magic circle, so there shouldn't be too many casualties."

Lei Luo was not too worried because he knew the layout of the Black Swan Theater. This defensive magic circle was set up by Count Baroque with great effort and was driven by enchanted energy.

No matter how big the fire is, as long as there are enough magic crystals to charge it, it can be completely resisted.

However, just as he finished speaking.

Several violent explosions were heard from every corner of the theater.

Boom boom boom——

In the eastern part of Berghead and Maglan Street, there was a constant stream of people. However, this seemingly lively and peaceful atmosphere was broken by a series of explosions the next moment.
