Chapter 972: Night Sacrifice (Three Watches~)
In fact, the abyssal rift that no one knew about in Jeno's mouth was actually the rift that the previous generation of War Star Spirit had ordered the Star Casting Dragon King to seal.
Worthy of being the supreme starry sky dragon, Aurelian Thor directly smashed a comet into the rift, killing the previous Panson while melting the void rift.
And now, they sit on top of the seal. The nearby ancient roads and stone formations are all built by the giant gods to strengthen the seal, and they are the real relics of the giant god civilization.
Jeno didn't tell anyone about these high-end things, because the giant god was just something he had to face alone, and he didn't want others to intervene and put him in danger.
As for why Diana came here to hunt the Void creatures, Jeno speculated that every giant god had a corresponding duty, and the Bright Moon Giant was responsible for resisting the Void.
This explains why the light of the moonstone can suppress the void, while the solar disk does not have this power. The giant stonehenge in front of him was also carved with the mark of the crescent moon, and every boulder was like this, and there was no mark of any other giant god.
Therefore, Diana, as the spirit of the moon and stars, has the responsibility to hunt the void.
After waiting for some time in the bright moonlight, Jeno finally saw a female warrior wearing moonsilver armor and flowing white hair walking towards the terrace.
She was alone, armed with a moonsilver scimitar, with a white crescent mark on her forehead, emitting a striking moonlight in the darkness. The night breeze whipped the thorns and scraped against her sleek armor with a slight scraping sound.
This is definitely the Bright Moon Star Spirit Diana no doubt!
"She's coming!"
Excited, Nami swung her fishtail and made a gurgling sound, and Jeno immediately put her index finger to her lips. Motioned for her not to alarm Diana, and let her complete the sacred night sacrifice first, and then they went up to talk to her.
"It's called politeness, isn't it?" Nami asked softly.
"Yes, it's the way humans get along, and you learn it very quickly." Jeno winked at her, "Shhh ”
Jeno and the others hid in the dark where the moonlight could not shine, and watched Diana sneakily as she came to the rocky plateau, looking down on the huge lake where Nami lurked.
The sound of the water had made her a little concerned, but after a few glances and no discovery, Diana followed the shattered ancient memories and turned to Stonehenge.
She could see the arc marks of the spiral on each boulder, exactly like the shimmering runes on her forehead.
A crescent moon with the tip facing upwards, half of which encloses a full moon, is the mark of the Cult of the Bright Moon.
Jeno watched her tighten her arms, then glanced around alertly, as if sensing something.
Diana didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but she knew that there was something here, something hostile but familiar.
It's not humans, it's bloodthirsty things lurking over there.
Diana walked to the center of the Stonehenge Circle and drew her scimitar. The pale moonlight pierced through the clouds and shone like a diamond on the blade. She knelt on one knee, her head buried in deep thought, the tip of her knife against the ground, the handle of her knife resting against her cheek.
She closed her eyes and felt with her heart.
The eye does not see, but the heart knows.
The momentum of a thousand jun is broken in an instant, and the speed of splitting the sky is in one fell swoop.
Diana slammed to her feet, the space between the boulders was torn apart, the air was squeezed and deformed, and three monsters screamed and lunged at her; These monsters have sallow flesh and white flesh, white bone armor and steel teeth and iron claws.
Dinosaurs.
In the shattered memories inherited from the astral plane, that's what the Star Spirits call them.
"Doesn't look like a Void creature? And like a beast? Cassadine didn't see the Void in them. But Kai'Sa didn't think so, and the moment the monster appeared, she felt a familiar pinprick on her skin.
She didn't see the void, but her skin thought it was, and the truth seemed to be obscured.
"Read on and you'll see." Jeno motioned for a few people not to make a move.
Diana lunged diagonally, dodging a bloody jaw. With his scimitar, he drew an arc on the top of his head and sliced the heavy skull of the first monster to his shoulder.
It is not surprising that Diana has such skills as the people of Lakore practice martial arts to resist the bandits and otherworldly monsters under the mountain.
The monster fell, and the flesh immediately began to reveal its original form. Black pus and blood flowed from the wound, and a purple color of bruised blood spots gradually appeared on the edges. The dead flesh turned pitch-black, glowing with a vicious purple light, and finally melted into a puddle of bubbling black mud until it was completely gone.
"Well, it's a damn void creature." Cassadine could now see that this was what the father and daughter had been hunting for years. "But why did they appear like that?"
Jeno didn't answer, for he didn't know much about it, and the battle in front of him had become white-hot in the blink of an eye.
The remaining two monsters pounced again, attacking simultaneously from both directions, hissing with the hostility of this world in their mouths.
Diana jumped over the monster on the left, and her scimitar slashed a crescent moon toward the monster's neck bone. As the Bright Moon Cult's sacred incantation sounded, the scimitar ignited with a white-hot light, blasting the monster to pieces from the inside out.
But when she landed, she was hit by the last monster.
The claws pierced her steel shoulders, dragging her wantonly. The monster's chest opened another mouth covered in slime and bit Diana on the shoulder.
She flipped the hilt, holding the knife like a dagger, and plunged deep into the monster's body.
The monster howled and let go of its jaw, tasting her blood a little before pounced again.
At this time, just as the dark clouds receded, the moonlight shone on the scimitar, and the blade immediately ignited a bright fire, and a wave of divine power poured into her body.
She used the executioner's killing momentum, accompanied by the power of light in the night sky, to slash downward, splitting muscles and bones.
The white light exploded, and the monster's body was torn apart, reduced to ashes with her hard blow.
The debris that had splashed on the armor was gone, and the divine power was withdrawn. Diana was the only one left on the mesa, her chest heaving and panting.
Silver streaks flashed on the boulders in the ring, and they had been freed from their place of hatred on the other side of the veil and were now beginning to radiate healing power. Diana felt the power permeate the entire field, seep into the rocks, seep into the skeleton of the world.
That's the purpose of the Night Rite, to unleash the Void creatures to kill, to fill the world that had been corrupted by them, to strengthen the seals, so that they never want to break through the Veil.
But no one has done such a thing for too long, and in the years when there is no Bright Moon Star Spirit, I don't know how many disguised void creatures have escaped. And these faults need to be repaid twice as much in the years to come, otherwise the seal will be loosened.
"Tonight's night sacrifice is done," she said. "This path has been sealed."
The existence of the moon is crucial to this world, the moonlight purifies the void, they are all good people, Diana doesn't know why the Sun Cult wants to exterminate the Bright Moon Sect.
"But there's always another night sacrifice." She said.
The words tugged at the wound, and the gushing blood made Diana hiss in pain. And at this moment, a stranger's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Looks like you need a little help, you're hurt, and I happen to have the best medicine for you."
