"Who on Earth opened the gate of Hell?"
When he walked with Wong to the center of the town, Steve saw a huge pentagram magic circle, all drawn with human blood. A corpse lay at each of the five corners of the magic circle, and the blood seemed to have come from these five people. Judging by the knives and guns in their hands, these five must have been bewitched by demons to stand here and commit suicide, and then their blood was used by the demons to open the gate of Hell.
"Wong, you go back first and gather the mages to help catch or eliminate the demons that have escaped. I will hurry and close the gate here. Based on the coagulation of the blood here, the incident must have happened about ten hours ago. There is a hidden barrier around here. Whoever came might be a lord of Hell. Call the high-level mages over; the others should stay quietly in Kamar-Taj."
Steve told Wong to hurry back. Understanding the severity of the situation, Wong did not hesitate at all, directly opened a portal, and went back to call for help. After Wong left, Steve cautiously observed his surroundings. If it was an entity capable of using magic, then according to ancient books, this guy was at least at the lord level. Of course, the actions of an evil mage could not be ruled out. Since arriving here, Steve had had a strong premonition that a very powerful guy was right here, and hadn't left yet.
"Come out! I see you."
Feeling that things were getting more and more wrong, Steve shouted at the surroundings. He had initially hoped the other party would come out, but it was just a bluff. Unexpectedly, less than five seconds after he said those words, a demon with a pair of giant horns slowly walked towards Steve. This guy's lower body was that of a goat, its upper body was that of a burly man, and it had a pair of pitch-black bat wings on its back. Its face was extremely ugly, looking as if it had been forcefully pieced together from a smashed statue.
"A mage of Kamar-Taj, not bad. Today, let me play with you."
Facing Steve's look of being on high alert, it said very calmly. Unlike its strange appearance, its voice was very magnetic, just like a middle-aged uncle. Its words caused a flash of caution to appear in Steve's eyes. A guy like this who could speak was definitely a high-level demon. That such a guy could actually cross the two realms and come to the human world meant that either there was a problem with the barrier, or someone had already figured out another method.
"Demon, tell me, who exactly summoned you?"
His hands moved rapidly, and two circular magic circles appeared on Steve's hands. He looked cautiously at the high-level demon in front of him. He had to ask about this matter; it concerned what kind of attacks humanity would face in the future. Steve decided he must capture this demon to ask more things.
"Stop talking nonsense, human. Let's fight!"
Facing Steve's inquiry, it had no intention of answering. Its goat hooves began to scrape the ground, a long spear appeared in its hand, and with a voice inconsistent with its image, it launched an attack, charging towards Steve.
