Chapter 292: The Desperate Mages

Nikorei’s heart was in her throat as she watched the Gates of Hell slowly open.

“Why? Why did the Gates of Hell Open early?”

Nikorei was a little confused. According to ancient records, the Gates of Hell would only open after half a year to a year.

The opening of the Gates of Hell was really thanks to Quentin and Flanders.

Their battle had released a huge amount of energy.

Logically speaking, this energy would naturally dissipate in this world.

Coincidentally, there was a Gates of Hell near where Quentin and Flanders were fighting.

The energy from the battle did not even have time to dissipate before it was absorbed by the Gates of Hell.

After absorbing a certain amount of energy, the Gates of Hell began to slowly open. However, this energy was unable to support the full opening of the gates.

Therefore, the gates only opened a crack that was more than ten centimeters long.

Although the crack was small, it was enough for the small creatures inside the Gates of Hell to pass through.

Countless hell bats flew out from the crack in the middle of the gates.

How could Nikorei allow the creatures of Hell to invade the Blue Planet? She immediately cast a fire spell, Explosive Flames.

The hell bats died in the explosive flames, but the damage from the explosive flames was not limited to that.

Even if the dead hell bats were already dead, their bodies would turn into fireballs and continue to ignite the other hell bats.

For a moment, the door of hell was covered in flames. The high temperature seemed to have burned the Gates of Hell Red.

The creatures in hell did not care about what was happening outside. They rushed toward the crack of the Gates of Hell Like a tide.

After burning for three days and three nights, not a single bat from Hell escaped. They were all burned to death.

Nikorei’s magic power was almost exhausted. All the mages in the Mage Association had already exhausted their magic power.

Without the support of their magic power, their condition rapidly declined. They were not much stronger than ordinary people.

Seeing that the mages under her were exhausted, Nikorei’s heart finally softened.

She felt that she should let the mages rest for a while. There were still a few bottles of magic power recovery potions in Nikorei’s bag.

But she did not dare to use them lightly. These potions were used to deal with unexpected situations.

In the end, Nikorei had underestimated the Gates of Hell. Ever since it opened, it had never stopped spewing out hell creatures.

Now, it was spewing out hell locusts. These hell creatures were smaller and more terrifying.

Even if a locust came out, it would quickly lay eggs and hatch.

Within three days, it could turn into a tide of locusts.

Hell locusts ate whatever they saw. They did not care about meat or vegetables.

Nikorei looked at the hell locusts and made a decision. She took out a magic potion and drank it.

After fifteen minutes, her magic power had completely recovered.

Nikorei felt better. Maybe she could last until tomorrow.

“All of you go back to the association and rest!”

“You can’t help anymore! If you stay, you’ll only lose your lives.”

Nikorei did not want the mages who had followed her to the gate of Hell to die.

“Leader, what did you say?”

“Yes, we will live and die with you!”

“I will not leave!”

“Master, I’m leaving. My fiancée is still waiting for me. I’m sorry, everyone.”

…

If one mage left, there would naturally be a second one…

Nikorei chased away all the mages and decided to guard the gates of Hell to the death.

After Flanders recovered, he had been wandering around the Gates of hell for the past two days.

He wanted to enter the Gates of Hell to take a look, but Nikorei had been guarding there.

Flanders did not have the chance to enter the Gates of Hell, but he was not in a hurry. He had patience.

Seeing the mages leave, Flanders had a plan in mind.

What good value! These were all fear points that could not be missed.

The mages from the Mage Association came to the edge of the Black Swamp and entered a golden wheat field.

“Stop! Something’s wrong!”

“Why is there a wheat field? The Black Swamp is completely bare!”

“Oh no, it’s the scarecrow!”

Someone said the scarecrow, and fear immediately grew in everyone’s hearts.

[Fear Points +8,000]

[Fear Points +12,000]

[Fear Points +6,000]

…

Looking at the increase in fear points, Flanders frowned.

The fear points were too low!

No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Flanders decided to pull in the net!

He put down a few guardian scarecrows and entered the Domain of Fear.

From now on, there was no need for Flanders to care. The Guardian Scarecrow would kill all the mages in the Domain.

As Flanders advanced to grade-a, his guardian grass also became stronger.

In the past, the Guardian Scarecrows could only use three skills, which were the tier-1 Night Cut, Demonic God’s Body, and Fear.

Now, the three skills that the Guardian Scarecrows used had all been upgraded to tier-3.

A rank wasn’t a free upgrade. It represented a powerful strength. The kind that was powerful in all aspects.

Flanders was floating above the Domain of Fear. He could not help but laugh out loud as he watched the wonderful performance of the Guardian Scarecrows!

The strange laughter, coupled with the strange expression, was really terrifying.

It was a pity that no one saw Flanders’s current appearance. Otherwise, Flanders would have to reap another wave of fear points.

The mages in the Domain of Fear were still unable to walk out of the Domain.

They were in despair!

“Mommy! I’ll never see you again!”

“Lilith! My fiancée, farewell!”

“Little Peter! Daddy will never see you again. You have to grow up bravely!”

“Scarecrow, come out! Come out and fight!”

…

Rattle!

Terrifying laughter sounded throughout the realm of terror. The Domain of Fear had a bonus effect.

There was already a mage who could not hold on anymore. He had collapsed!

At this moment, these mages did not have any mana in their bodies.

Even so, they were still running non-stop.

[Fear Points +5,000]

[Fear Points +10,000]

…

Flanders keenly noticed that the fear points were getting lower and lower.

Could it be that under the constant state of despair, the fear points would get lower and lower?

Flanders decided to conduct an experiment. He opened up a small opening in the Domain of Fear.

The mages’ strong desire for survival prompted them to seize the opportunity immediately.

All the mages headed toward the opening in the Domain.

The Guardian Scarecrows were constantly chasing after the mages, just like driving a flock of sheep.

The small scarecrows formed a strong contrast with the tall mages.

If they charged out, they would survive!

It was as if there was a ray of light guiding them in their hearts.

Their bodies, which were already exhausted, had hope as support, and their bodies were filled with strength again.

[Fear Points +20,000]

[Fear Points +22,000]

…

“What a wonderful taste!”

When the mages were about to reach the edge of the gap in the domain, the gap disappeared.

Flanders was intoxicated. There was fear mixed with a glimmer of hope, and the glimmer of hope mixed with a glimmer of luck.

Flanders decided to play with them. The gap disappeared here and appeared there again.

Hope, fear, despair, and luck played in the minds of the mages.

Some mages broke down!

“Scarecrow, kill me! Kill me!”

“You demon, you really should go to hell!”

“Oh God! Quickly take this damn demon!”

…

When Flanders heard these words, he felt that these words were praising him.

“Eh! The Gates of Hell can be entered!”

Before Flanders left, he left behind a scarecrow to monitor the Gates of Hell.
