The man's shrill screams echoed in the small room, accompanied by the wails of young children and the begging of young women for mercy.
They shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to attract the attention of the people around them, but these sad voices were blocked in this hut by some kind of power. Even if there were pedestrians passing by, they could not hear the slightest lingering sound.
Everything gradually fell into silence. After a dying cry, only the dull sound of the knife cutting through the flesh came from the hall.
Finally, even the sound of cutting ends.
Several people in black robes silently moved a mutilated body of a man to the magic circle in the hall. This magic circle was outlined with mercury and black soil, with traces of sulfur and saltpeter, among which Full of blasphemous words, a strange and majestic force, as if the evil power that can distort everything in the world is slowly flowing through it, as if a prayer of extreme depravity is being recited.
[Dead man, your soul will be mixed with blood and mud, immersed in the cold earth, and will sink for eternity without relief.]
Blood gurgled out from the wounds on the corpse, and then turned black under the power of the magic circle, turning into brand-new blasphemous words. The twisted face of the deceased seemed to be cursing, but no one in black robes was moved by this, they were just silent He watched everything feverishly, then took out the internal organs from the corpse and placed them around the magic circle.
After the man, came the woman, and after the woman, came the young child. Finally, even the unswaddled baby's body was taken, and the black robes placed it respectfully in the center of the circle.
The pure and confused soul is the best sacrifice.
When everything was over, the people in black robes also stopped moving. They stood quietly around the magic circle, watching with expectant eyes. Bright red liquid was still dripping from their hands, and blood splashed on the floor, dripping.
And living up to their expectations, the magic circle composed of black blood was gradually lighting up with a strange black-red light.
"Plop."
A heavy heartbeat sounded in the center of the circle.
"Wow."
In response to the heartbeat, mixed with mercury and saltpeter, black blood began to slowly flow in the magic circle.
"Plop."
Another black-red light flashed, and a clearer and heavier heartbeat sounded. The blasphemous words seemed to come alive, twisting and turning on the edge of the magic circle, and the corpses and internal organs placed in sequence were slowly deforming under a certain force.
Amidst the heavy and excited breathing of the man in black robe, the floor creaked, and even made a noise like fingernails scraping hard against the blackboard. A crazy chant that did not sound like a human voice began to vaguely sound in the void, as if Praising all that is filthy and evil.
"Is it going to succeed?"
Finally unable to bear it anymore, a man in black robes made a voice. The voice was as harsh as the cry of an eagle and owl, with a trace of enthusiasm for finally achieving his goal. His body was trembling with excitement.
"No."
Another older, harsher voice sounded: "Not even close."
In the laboratory of the Royal Mage Association, Joshua was preparing to take over the Double Blades of Order from Brandon.
This sacred pair of swords undoubtedly comes from the sage. According to the blond swordsman, this is a weapon given to the first saint by the sage to destroy monsters in the void. Just like the azure orb, it should contain sacred power. Power, as long as the conditions are right, can explode with unimaginable power just like when it fought against the Jiyi Huangshen.
Compared to Joshua, Brandon did not really awaken the weapon in his hand. He only vaguely felt the inheritance in these two swords. Even so, the swordsman benefited a lot from it. When Joshua asked Brandon for a weapon, he also wanted to use his stronger power of order to try to communicate and help the swordsman inherit his legacy.
However, just when he was about to touch the scabbard of the double-edged sword, Joshua suddenly withdrew his hand.
He turned his head and looked to the left, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce the void, and he noticed something.
"I'm sorry, Brandon, I might have to keep you waiting for a while."
After being silent for a while, it seemed that he was doubting his feelings, but in the end Joshua made a decision. He said calmly, but his calm voice contained an anger that could make the dragon tremble: "I have something wrong."
After speaking, he turned around decisively, with the corners of his clothes flying, and walked quickly towards the door of the laboratory. While the three people present were in a daze, a voice came from the door: "Ying, Lin."
"Follow up."
The boy and the girl were a little confused at first, but the silver-haired girl was the first to understand what her master meant. She agreed excitedly, and then pulled her brother and ran towards the door, leaving only a confused Brandon holding his hand. The twin blades of order, which were emitting a faint white light, stood in place.
"what happened?"
After wondering for a while, he planned to follow him out, but the swordsman still couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What happened? Why are you all out?"
It was at this time that he noticed the radiant weapon in his hand.
"Strange, I just put the crystal back into the sealed cabinet... Why?"
On the edge of the imperial capital, in the unnoticed streets and low-rise bungalows, there are figures of black cats walking around.
Because of the previous explosions, most of the people wandering the streets have returned to their homes. The patrol team passed by here, but rarely paid attention to it. It is late at night, and they still have heavy investigation tasks to do. Go and complete it, and the priority here is undoubtedly the lowest. If you can take a look at it, you are doing your duty.
Not to mention being distracted by a certain wooden house that was a little dilapidated and even the paint was starting to peel off.
In the house.
The sacrifices continue.
The people in black robes all raised their right hands in unison.
In their left hands, they all held a sharp knife with yellow human grease on it. Before, it was this knife that was used to cut the body of the owner of the house. It cut the man's throat and dug out the woman's body. The eyeball then peeled out the child's heart and placed it in the center of the circle.
Now, it is used to slit its master's wrist.
With a tacit understanding, they cut their own blood vessels, and hot blood spurted out immediately. Following the pulse of their hearts, the people in black robes prayed loudly to the unknown existence in strange and evil languages. Their expressions were fanatical, almost Crazy, and as they chanted, the blasphemous words rotating in the circle became faster, the aura of depravity became more intense, and the walls began to emit a dizzying scarlet light. The smell of sulfur filled the air. This little The wooden house seemed to be turning into a purgatory on earth.
But under a certain force, all of this was completely isolated, and the outside world could not detect it at all.
The strange heartbeat sound became louder and heavier under such fanatical sacrifices. The corpses in the circle had completely turned into mummies, and all the blood and water flowed out, turning into a foul-smelling black Liquid, this liquid flows in the array like a living thing, as if it is condensing into a black and huge heart.
Success!
It's going to work!
Finally succeeded!
Witnessing this scene, the people in black robes all showed ecstatic smiles. Due to the seal of the last era, the connection between the abyss and this world is extremely weak, almost non-existent. For them, every summons is a heart-stopping experience. Their gamble, failure, all preparations, and even their lives will turn into flames, just like the church members who failed not long ago. In fact, it is not that those people have hidden deeply enough, but because the call of failure has already killed them. His soul and body burned together, turning into a ball of meaningless sparks.
No matter how rigorous the search is, it is impossible to find someone who does not exist.
But if you succeed, you can open a small opening in the seal.
The summoned monsters are actually not important. The most important thing is that one small mouth after another accumulates. The holy seal will gradually be broken open by the desperate wails of humans, until it finally fails completely, allowing the gate of the abyss to be reconnected to this world.
A man in black robes lost too much blood, and his skin began to turn pale to the naked eye, but his gloomy eyes were extremely fanatical, staring straight at the gradually forming heart in the center of the circle, who was he muttering in his mouth Chaotic prayers that no one understood, occasionally accompanied by excited cheers.
Life has long been unimportant to these brainwashed people. What they crave is the ultimate evil and chaos. Chaos comes to the world and returns everything to its original barbarism. For this, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. , the black robes were in danger of being exposed at any time, taking advantage of the last moment when the search would not reach the edge of the city so quickly, to make a call like a gamble.
And now, success is just around the corner.
The heartbeat became heavier and heavier, but suddenly, the world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and a suffocating uneasiness spread in the hut.
Then, a violent explosion sounded from the distance, roaring closer. When the people in black robes looked at each other in confusion, a silvery white light was like a meteor, breaking through the roof of the small house like piercing tissue paper. It shattered the attic and floor, solid wood and rocks, and then with a roar of gold and stone, it turned into a silver sword and inserted straight into the magic circle in the hall.
There is a red luster flowing on this silver-white sword, and the thick fighting spirit mixed with the power of order forms a sacred pattern. It flashes like a line, purifying everything around it. Due to the insertion of this sword, the ground The magic circle above seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. Amidst the sharp noise, black smoke rose up. The evil light quickly dimmed, and the blasphemous runes stopped turning.
"what happened!?"
"attack!"
"We've been discovered!"
"How is it possible? This is a magic circle formed by the power of the evil god. How could we be discovered?!"
Shocked by the unexpected attack, the men in black robes immediately panicked.
Just when the magic circle was broken, the ruler of the empire who was resting in the royal study of Morlai Palace suddenly stood up suddenly.
"The blasphemous magic circle...the power of the evil god, these damn cultists, actually blocked my perception!"
He was furious, his dark golden hair almost stood up, and his clear-cut face was full of disgust and hatred. Israel turned his head and said in a deep voice to the Archmage who also sensed the evil aura beside him: "Teacher, send me I'll go...wait."
Not only His Majesty the Emperor, but Nostradamus, who was about to teleport directly, also showed a surprised expression. Their eyes seemed to penetrate the void and saw that scene.
"Really... Haha, he has passed."
The white-haired mage was stunned for a while, and then a smile appeared on his originally cold face.
Beside him, His Majesty the Emperor's face also slowly changed. He was angry, surprised, and confused, until finally, he also laughed in a low voice: "Then let him go."
And in the cabin.
Accompanied by the panicked actions and shouts of the cultists, the door was violently blasted open. Among the flying wood chips and stone flakes, a cold light flashed, and another giant ax was thrown out, streaking through the atmosphere like a flying star, completely killing everyone. Broken the magic circle.
"I said."
came a voice.
"You should be quiet."
I originally planned to lay out a few chapters, but since some people said they wanted to see a fight on Christmas, I'll stay up late coding for you.
I heard that there will be double monthly passes at the end of the month...
