Blood-red light sprayed from the ground into the night sky, forming a strange red light column that illuminated the night of Tobesk. Thick blood mist gushed in all directions, and in just a few minutes, the entire city was engulfed in blood mist.
People fell into a deeper sleep in the sweet smell of blood. The moon was obscured and the starry sky no longer twinkled. Only the ring sorcerers who realized something was wrong at the first time could barely stay awake in this rapidly spreading blood mist. However, the mental pressure of the saint's imminent full appearance directly impacted the extremely sensitive senses of the extraordinary people, and no one could hold on for too long.
In a rural cemetery in the suburbs, Mr. Copps stood in the darkness at the door of the gravekeeper's hut, carrying the coffin on his back, quietly watching the red blood mist dissipate;
At dawn, the church was emitting a holy light to drive away the blood mist. The clergy hurriedly organized a prayer ceremony, and the choir sang in a panic. No one noticed that the elderly and highly respected priest Augustus was standing alone at the door of the church. The holy white light around him gradually drove the blood mist away from the church.
At Schneider's Psychological Clinic, the unlucky middle-aged doctor who left the banquet under the guidance of Shade, huddled in the corner of the bedroom with a hideous face. The black flames enveloped him, preventing the blood mist from approaching. The ground and walls where his body touched were covered with corrupt green mold, and the black shadows and the manic flames protected him.
In Old John's Antique Shop, the old shop owner exuded a brassy glow all over his body. He sighed and looked at the night sky that was gradually covered by blood mist. He wanted to step out of the shop, but suddenly froze and looked towards the direction of the city center:
"Damn it, I'm really getting old. Am I dreaming now? Can anything more outrageous happen today?"
In the center of the blood-red light column, that is, around Count Maupassant's mansion, groups of blood crows were flying in the blood mist. Countless strange flesh and blood monsters, in indescribable twisted postures, came to the human world with the blood mist. The twisted creatures roared and rushed out of the manor, fighting with the ring magician team of the Orthodox Church near the mansion in the blood mist.
Fortunately, they only emerged from the mansion, otherwise there would be no living people in the city within a few minutes.
Iluna Beas didn't know why things turned out like this. She said goodbye to Shad and Luvia, and quickly rushed to the vicinity of the mansion to reunite with her team. She also submitted clues about the existence of the second and third God's descent containers.
Captain Moody Robinson immediately sent someone to inform the team in the mansion, and he and other members of the team comforted her. Even if there was a vessel for the descent of God, the ceremony would still not be able to proceed smoothly as long as the "grand banquet" itself was destroyed.
Almost at the same time as their conversation, the arrest operation in the mansion officially began. As the first blood light flew out from the third floor and flew towards the city, more and more blood lines were connected with certain points in the city with the mansion as the center.
Thousands of citizens scattered across Tobesk who had long been drinking the discounted milk from the Silver Parrot Milk Distribution Company had their blood drained out in an instant and died in their sleep, thus forming a grand feast to sacrifice to the evil god. Thus, with the shaking of the earth and the howling wind, the blood feast officially began, and the blood mist engulfed the entire city.
Iluna Beas didn't know why things turned out like this. It was obvious that the action of breaking into the ruins tonight was the most dangerous, and the church's capture of the cultists should be foolproof, but she knew what she should do.
The blood mist engulfed them, and the monsters that appeared in the mist made the team unable to pay attention to what was happening in the mansion. The girl with short brown hair gritted her teeth, left the team and ran towards the mansion.
A golden life ring appeared behind her, and then the life ring spun at high speed, turning into a scale in the golden light. No one had time to pay attention to her, and the luster of the golden scale made the indescribable creature crawling in the blood mist subconsciously stay away.
She crossed the street smoothly, feeling her headache getting stronger and stronger, and gritted her teeth as she broke into the mansion.
Iluna Beiyas knew that she did not have the power to fight against God, but the power of the chosen one would definitely have some impact. Entering the manor meant sacrifice, but someone had to do it at this time.
The blood mist in the manor courtyard was thicker than outside, and unconscious guests fell to the ground in groups. As the young girl got closer and closer to the mansion, even though she hadn't seen or heard anything yet, her body was already trembling instinctively.
She knew what was on the third floor, knew what she was going to face, and understood the consequences of doing so.
But someone has to do something. Even if she becomes the so-called "chosen one", Iluna Beias does not think she will become the so-called savior. But from the knowledge she has gained, she vaguely knows her power and can slightly influence the saint, so she came. She may die, but she still came.
On the first floor, guests fell down in groups, which vaguely reminded her of the wheat harvesting scene she had seen in her childhood when she lived in the countryside.
On the second floor, Mr. Hog Rundle, the thirteenth ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, was inserting a broken ritual sword into the floor with the few people who could stay awake at this time. She knew that it was a level 0 relic that could restrict the range of movement of the saint for a short period of time. It seemed that the current situation was not the worst.
The blood mist became thicker and thicker, and the footsteps became heavier and heavier. The ability of the golden balance formed by the life ring behind her to resist the blood mist was getting weaker and weaker, but the girl with long brown hair still endured the mental and physical pain and came to the third floor.
Finally unable to bear the pressure, the second-ring sorceress fell on the carpet. It was a blood-stained carpet, and blood would seep out with a light touch. The strange red color seemed to imprison millions of souls.
She fell at the stairs, her limbs completely out of control, the blood in her body seemed to be boiling, and the headache almost made her scream, but she still raised her head with difficulty and looked towards the third floor.
This should have been a layout of corridors and rooms, but at this moment, a long table covered with a snow-white tablecloth was placed in the open banquet hall. Countless human mummies wrapped in white cloth hung from the ceiling, like lambs to be slaughtered.
Ding Dong~
The crisp sound seemed to explode directly in my head, and the banquet began.
On the empty table, silver and gold objects containing fresh human organs appeared one by one. In the bloody fog, the sweet smell of food wafted out.
At the far end of the long table, a slightly blurry figure in a red suit was elegantly manipulating a knife and fork, enjoying the food on the table.
She closed her eyes, and blood started flowing out of her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth at the same time:
"I understand. It has not yet fully descended. This is the evil god..."
“Evil God!”
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in front of her eyes, and the 13th ring warlock, Mr. Hog Rundel, rushed up from the second floor. The middle-aged man also had blood coming out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth, but he still held the dazzling golden sword and ran past Miss Beias. The light of the Sunshine Sword made Miss Beias, who was also a believer of the Sun God, feel happy, but the middle-aged man just passed by Miss Beias and suddenly stopped.
The golden sword in his hand disappeared, and he entered the bloody banquet hall. He walked uncontrollably to the table full of food, pulled out a chair and sat down, motionless.
Iluna is gathering strength:
"Mr. Rendel's appearance means that the relics downstairs can now play a role... This is the power of God... Shade..."
She lay on the carpet. Maybe only a few seconds had passed, maybe decades had passed. Suddenly, a whistling sound came from the window, and then more than a dozen figures broke through the outer wall of the banquet hall in the holy light and rushed in. The high-level ring warlocks of the Five Gods Church in Tobesk Diocese, including the Dawn Church, the Creation Church, the Sun Church, the Peace Church, and the Nature Church, appeared almost at the same time. Iluna knew some of them, but she saw many of them for the first time.
They gathered together and broke into the blood feast. For a moment, Iluna thought she almost heard the sound of dozens of different sublimation words being chanted. The strange white holy light enveloped these people who knew they would sacrifice themselves. The unfolding of the sublimation words caused the holes in the wall to be smashed, and the spatial anomalies superimposed on each other almost covered the bloody banquet hall on the third floor.
They were destined to sacrifice themselves, but even if they could delay the coming of the righteous gods for a second, it would be a victory for mankind. This was just like the limited number of times they had faced the coming of the evil gods in the past. They had already made a mistake once, so they could not hesitate this time.
“Ahem~”
The figure sitting at one end of the long table, manipulating the knife and fork, coughed, and all the words of sublimation stopped. Just like the thirteen-ring warlock, they were swallowed by the blood mist the moment they entered here, and all lost the ability to control their bodies, and stiffly went to find their seats.
"No!"
Iluna struggled to get up by holding on to the ground, and people finally noticed that there was another person here.
“God should not be on earth.”
The one-eyed girl spat out blood while speaking. She did not dare to look up at the illusory figure at the end of the table, but her words were unusually strong:
"The balance of the material world has been broken by you."
The golden scale behind him rose to the top of his head, and the golden glow actually allowed the high-level warlocks of the church to temporarily restore their ability to move.
"Iluna?"
"Beas?"
"The chosen one actually showed up!"
"Oh God, is the Whispering Verses real?"
The lights of various magic, spells and divine arts flickered, but the power of God still suppressed everything in this bloody banquet hall.
After briefly breaking free from control, the people at the long table only retained the ability to speak. They closed their eyes and lowered their heads, on the verge of consciousness and coma, unwilling to perceive anything around them.
The one-eyed girl with long brown hair got up stiffly and silently pulled out a chair beside the long table covered with a white tablecloth.
The sound of the chair back being pulled was not harsh, and she sat down as well.
