The blood-spattered cloths, jars, eggs and other items and the strong fishy smell that filled the air did not change the expression of the parish priest, Guillaume Bennet. He turned his body and looked towards a certain place in the church, and the figure of Lumian running frantically was reflected in his blue eyes.
The parish priest's eyes then became lighter, blurring to the point of seeming transparent.
In his eyes, complex mercury symbols appeared one after another around Lumian, they were like small rivers winding around themselves, and Lumian himself seemed to be running in an illusory river composed of these symbols, with ripples, and in front of him were more blurred tributaries.
Guillaume Bene stretched out his right hand and grabbed a mercury symbol around the target through the air.
Lumian pressed hard with his right foot, preparing to fling his body toward the stained glass in front of him and crash out of the church.
Just then, his feet slipped and he was unable to exert his full strength.
His body flew up in an awkward posture.
With the sounds of bang, splash and crack, Lumian smashed the stained glass depicting Saint Sith, but failed to penetrate through it and stopped inside the church.
Several cuts and scratches immediately appeared on his body, and bright red blood quickly flowed out.
At this time, the shepherd Pierre Berry, who chopped off Ava's head with an axe, locked onto Lumian.
He still had a gentle smile on his face, but his blue eyes were filled with ferocity, as if a seal in his body had been unlocked at some point, revealing his true self that had been hidden.
Pierre Berry grabbed the axe and strode towards Lumian.
With every step he took, his body seemed to grow taller and stronger. Although he was still the same size, he had the aura of a giant.
Lumian was leaning against the broken stained-glass window with his back to the cruel shepherd.
He had just recovered from the pain of a heavy fall and stab wound, and was about to use his hands to push himself up and roll out of the church when he suddenly felt extremely dangerous.
There's someone behind me... Lumian had a flash of thought and continued to hold down the window frame full of broken glass, ignoring the pain of the wound and the flow of blood, as if he was about to roll out.
This action was just a cover. He quickly retracted his body, retreating instead of moving forward, and fell backwards.
boom!
An axe struck the window frame in a sweeping motion, leaving only shards of glass, and detached it from the wall and flew out of the church.
Lumian fell backwards and rolled over, narrowly passing by Pierre Berry's feet and avoiding this extremely violent attack.
He did not feel relieved or happy about this, because he was forced back into the church, and the fastest escape route was completely blocked by the shepherd Pierre Berry, who had shown obvious changes.
Although Lumian had read many novels, he never had the naive idea that he wouldn't be hit as long as he kept rolling. As soon as he passed by Pierre Berry, he immediately supported himself with his elbows, exerted force on his waist, and bounced up.
He glanced around and found that except for a few like little Guillaume, the rest of the young people seemed to be affected by something. They all lost their minds and turned into lunatics.
They ignored Ava's headless body and the blood splattered all around, and shouted happily:
"Send the 'Spring Fairy' away!
"Send the 'Spring Fairy' away!
"… "
Little Guillaume and a few others were also completely dumbfounded. They stood there, staring at Ava's wide-open eyes with a slight smile, without moving a muscle.
Their faces were filled with fear, panic and disbelief, as if they were having an impossible nightmare.
Although Pierre Berry was still as tall as before, he gave Lumian the illusion that he was not much shorter than the dome.
The shepherd's attack missed, so he quickly drew back the axe, turned around, and chopped at Lumian who was not far away. However, before Lumian could stand firmly, he ran forward and successfully avoided the attack.
Dengdengdeng!
Lumian made full use of the hunter's speed and agility, running wildly in an arc.
Target: The parish priest!
His experience told him that at this time he must catch the leader among the enemies. No matter how others treat him, he would just beat him and show a fierce attitude of either let him go or both of them die together.
Only in this way can we create miracles in extremely unfavorable situations.
Shepherd Pierre Berry did not chase after Lumian. He stood in front of the wall without the window frame, holding a bloody axe, and stretched out his left hand towards the target figure.
The entire church suddenly became dark, and it was even darker around Lumian, with a deep and gloomy atmosphere.
This depth seemed to have its own vitality and began to sway gently.
It seemed to be just a curtain, behind which were hidden many pale, dark, strange arms, ready to reach out.
In the eyes of the parish priest Guillaume Bennet, which faded to almost transparent, Lumian's figure was still submerged in the illusory river composed of complex mercury symbols and shimmering with waves. In front of him was a similar but more illusory thing or tributary that seemed to symbolize the future.
After a period of trying, Guillaume Bennet's right hand finally grasped the key pattern composed of multiple symbols.
As long as he reverses it, all of Lumian's efforts will be rendered ineffective, and his future destiny will be rewritten.
Suddenly, the priest's eyes froze.
"ah!!!!"
He suddenly screamed, his eyes closed tightly, and bright red blood and turbid tears flowed out.
Amid the screams, Guillaume Bennet's body swelled up, as if someone had poured a large amount of gas into him.
Swish!
His white robe inlaid with gold thread could not bear it and quickly broke into pieces.
His skin had been stretched to the point of being nearly transparent, revealing the strange marks that had previously been hidden by his clothes.
There were black things resembling seal marks one after another. They were connected to an indescribable world and brought an extremely terrifying atmosphere.
This atmosphere instantly filled the church, and the young people who were still seeing off the "Spring Spirit" fell into a state of extreme fear. They either ran around the sacrifice, or knelt on the ground, or crawled on the ground, not daring to look up.
Little Guillaume and a few other people who were already frightened fainted directly. Their bodies were wet and there was a foul smell.
The shepherd Pierre Berry was about to use his secret technique to catch Lumian, but he dropped his axe, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and stopped moving.
The only one who was fine in the entire church was Lumian.
He was actually also affected and felt an abnormal tingling in his head, but compared to the mysterious voice that could directly put him into a near-death state, this breath was still a far cry.
In addition, he also felt a burning sensation in his chest, which he suspected was caused by the black thorn chain symbol that stood out, and perhaps also the blue-black symbols that looked like eyes and insects.
Lumian did not bother to check his physical condition or understand why he suddenly had the advantage, and continued to run towards the parish priest Guillaume Bennet.
Whenever an opportunity arises, don’t let it go!
As the distance got closer, he could clearly see those black marks that looked like seals:
They seem to be composed of a combination of unique text and strange symbols.
Scanning his eyes quickly, Lumian found something familiar.
A black symbol like a thorn emerged from the left chest of the parish priest Guillaume Bennet and went around behind him!
It was exactly the same as the one on Lumian's chest, only a lot lighter.
"He has it, too?"
Lumian's heart was shocked.
“Is this the root cause of the abnormality in the village
“Why did I have it, and when did I have it
"… "
Thoughts quickly flashed through Lumian's mind one after another, but they did not affect his actions.
He ran to Guillaume Bennet, stretched out his right arm and wrapped it around the enemy's head.
Then, without stopping, he went around behind the parish priest.
With a click, Guillaume Bennet's head "turned" in a different direction, facing his spine.
Huh... Seeing this, Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest trouble has been solved. I have to go home quickly and escape with my sister. The rest will be left to those three outsiders!
At this moment, Guillaume Bene, who was supposed to be dead, opened his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Buzz!
It was as if Lumian's head was split in half by an axe. The intense pain prevented him from even screaming.
Everything he saw shattered in an instant and became extremely dark.
He lost consciousness.
… …
pain!
It hurts!
Lumian sat up suddenly, opened his eyes, and rubbed his head.
He then saw the wooden table in front of the window, the tilted chair, and the wardrobe and small bookshelves on both sides.
He was familiar with all this.
This is his bedroom.
"Was I rescued by my sister? How long was I unconscious? What was the situation in the church?" Lumian didn't have time to think too much. As soon as he remembered what happened, he immediately turned over and got out of bed, covering his head, and rushed out.
Soon, he found Aurora in the kitchen on the first floor.
Aurore was wearing a light blue dress and was preparing dinner carefully.
“Aurore! Sister, run!” Lumian shouted, “The parish priest and many people in the village have gone crazy. They killed Ava at the end of the celebration!”
He was not sure whether his sister knew what had happened. After all, there were many ways to rescue, and it did not mean that he had to go to the scene, so he simply told her the key points to avoid wasting time.
Aurore turned around and asked in confusion:
"celebration
"The Lenten celebration?"
"Yes." Lumian nodded vigorously.
Aurore smiled.
“The story just now was really well-written. In just two sentences, it outlined a strange incident that made people feel scared involuntarily.
"But next time you make up a story, please do some research. Lent is still a few days away."
“…” Lumian was stunned.
