Chapter 28 Be quiet
The men's screams echoed through the small room, accompanied by the wails of young children and the begs of young women for mercy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
They screamed desperately, trying to attract the attention of the people around them, but these mournful voices were blocked in this hut by some force, and even if there were pedestrians passing by, they could not hear the slightest sound.
Everything gradually fell silent, and after a cry of death, only the dull cutting sound of knives cutting through flesh came from the hall.
In the end, even the sound of cutting ended.
Several black-robed men silently carried the corpse of a severed man to the magic circle in the hall, which was made of mercury and black earth, with traces of sulfur and saltpeter, and blasphemous words written in it, a strange and grandiose force, as if the evil power that could distort everything in the world was slowly circulating in it, as if it was reciting a prayer to the extreme.
γDead, your soul will be mixed with blood and mud, immersed in the cold earth, and will sink into eternal calamity, and there will be no liberation. γ
Blood gushed from the wounds of the corpse, and then turned black under the power of the circle, turning into new blasphemous words, the distorted faces of the dead seemed to be cursing, but none of the black robes were moved by this, they just watched everything in silence and fanatically, and then took out the internal organs of the corpse and placed them around the circle.
After the man, then the woman, after the woman, then the child, and finally, the corpse of the baby, which was not even swaddled, was taken and placed respectfully in the center of the circle by the black robes.
The innocent and misty soul is the best sacrifice.
When it was all over, the black-robed people also stopped moving, and they stood quietly around the circle, watching with expectant eyes, their hands still dripping bright red liquid, blood splattering on the floor, ticking and ticking.
And living up to their expectations, the magic circle composed of black blood is gradually lighting up with a strange black and red light.
"Poof."
The sound of a heavy heartbeat sounded in the center of the circle.
"Whoa."
In response to the heartbeat, mixed with mercury and saltpeter, black blood began to slowly surge and circulate in the circle.
"Poof."
The black-red light flickered again, a clearer and heavier heartbeat sounded, and the blasphemous words seemed to come to life, writhing and turning around the edge of the circle, and the corpses and internal organs placed in turn were slowly deformed under a certain force.
In the heavy and excited breathing of the black-robed man, the floor creaked, and even made a noise like rubbing his fingernails against the blackboard, and the void began to faintly resound a crazy chant that did not resemble a human voice, as if he was praising everything that was filthy and evil.
"Are you going to make it?"
Finally unable to bear it anymore, a black-robed man made a voice, which was as piercing as the chirping of an eagle owl, with a hint of frenzy that had finally achieved his goal, and his body was trembling with excitement.
"Nope."
Another, older and harsher voice rang out: "It's still a little close." β
And in the laboratory of the Royal Mage Society, Joshua is preparing to take over the Twin Blades of Order from Brandon.
According to the blonde swordsman, this is a weapon given by the sage to the First Saint to destroy the Void Monster, just like the Azure Orb, it should contain divine power, as long as the conditions are right, it can burst out with unimaginable power as when it fought against the Extreme Intention Aragami.
Compared to Joshua, Brandon didn't really let the weapon in his hand awaken, he only vaguely felt the inheritance in these two swords, and even so, it benefited the swordsman a lot. Joshua asked Brandon for a weapon, and he also wanted to use the stronger power of order in his body to try to communicate and help the swordsman get the inheritance.
However, just as he was about to touch the double-edged scabbard, Joshua suddenly withdrew his hand.
He turned his head and looked to his left, his sharp gaze as if he could pierce the void and detect something.
"I'm sorry, Brandon, maybe I'll have to keep you waiting."
There was silence for a while, as if doubting his feelings, but in the end Joshua made up his mind, and he said lightly, but there was a fierce anger in his calm voice that could make the dragons chill: "I, something's wrong. β
After speaking, he turned around decisively, the corners of his clothes flew up, and walked briskly towards the door of the laboratory, and when the three people present were stunned, a voice came from the door: "Ying, Rin." β
"Keep up."
The boy and the girl were originally a little confused, but the silver-haired girl was the first to understand the meaning of her master, she excitedly agreed, and then pulled her brother and ran towards the door, leaving only Brandon with a dazed face standing in place with the twin blades of order that were emitting a faint white light.
"What's going on?"
After being puzzled for a while, he also planned to go out with him, but the swordsman still couldn't help muttering, "What happened?" Why are they all out? β
It was only at this time that he noticed the weapon in his hand that was radiating light.
"It's strange, I just put that crystal back in the sealed cabinet...... Why? β
On the edge of the imperial capital, the streets where no one pays attention, the low flat rooms, there are black cats shuttling.
Because of the previous bombings, most of the people who roamed the streets have returned to their homes, patrols pass by here, but they rarely pay attention to this place, it is late at night, they still have a heavy task to complete, and this place is undoubtedly the lowest priority, can be seen, even if it is dutiful.
Not to mention the distraction of focusing on a wooden house that was a little dilapidated and even the paint was starting to peel.
in the house.
The sacrifice continues.
The people in black robes all raised their right hands in unison.
In their left hands they each held a sharp knife with the yellow grease of a human being, which had been used to cut the body of the housekeeper, severing the man's throat, gouging out the woman's eyeball, and stripping out the child's heart and placing it in the center of the circle.
Now, it's used to slit the wrists of its own masters.
At the same time, the tacit understanding cut their own blood vessels, hot blood suddenly gushed out, with the pulse of the heart, the black-robed people used strange and evil language, loudly prayed to the unknown existence, their faces were fanatical, almost crazy, and with their chanting, the blasphemous words that rotated in the circle were faster, the aura of depravity became more and more intense, and the walls began to emit a dizzying scarlet light, and the smell of sulfur permeated, this small wooden house seemed to be about to turn into purgatory on earth.
But under a certain force, all this is completely isolated, and the outside world cannot detect it.
The strange heartbeat sound became louder and heavier under such a fanatical sacrifice, and the corpses in the circle had completely turned into dried corpses, and all the blood and water flowed out, turning into a black liquid that emitted a foul smell, and this liquid flowed in the array like a living thing, as if it was condensing a black and huge heart.
It worked!
It's going to be successful!
Finally it worked!
Witnessing this scene, the black-robed people all showed ecstatic smiles, because of the seal of the previous era, the connection between the abyss and this world was extremely weak, almost nothing, for them, every summon was a heart-pounding gamble, failure, all preparations, and even their lives would be turned into flames, just like the failed parishioners not long ago, in fact, it was not that those people were hiding deep enough, but because the failed summoning had already burned their souls and bodies together, turning into a meaningless spark.
No matter how strict the search is, it is impossible to find people who are not there.
But if you succeed, you can open a small hole in the seal.
The summoned monsters are not important, the most important thing is that one after another small openings are piled up, and the holy seal will gradually be chiseled open by the desperate wails of mankind, until it finally fails completely, allowing the abyss to reconnect the door to this world.
A black-robed man's skin was visibly pale from excessive blood loss, but his gloomy gaze was extremely fanatical, staring straight at the heart that was gradually forming in the center of the circle, and his mouth was chanting chaotic prayers that no one understood, accompanied by an occasional excited cheer.
Life, for these brainwashed people, has long been unimportant, what they yearn for is the ultimate evil and chaos, it is chaos that descends on the world, so that all things return to the original barbarism, for this, even if they pay for their lives, the black robes bear the danger of being exposed at any time, taking advantage of the search will not be so soon to come to the edge of the city, to summon like gambling.
And now, success is at hand.
The sound of the heartbeat grew heavier and heavier, but suddenly, the world seemed to be silent for a moment, and a suffocating uneasiness spread through the cabin.
Then, a violent explosion sounded from afar, roaring closer, and as the black-robed people looked at each other in disbelief, a silver-white light burst through the roof of the hut like a meteor, shattering the attic and the floor, the wood and the rock, and then, with a loud sound of gold and stone, it turned into a silver greatsword and plunged straight into the circle in the hall.
On this silver-white sword, there is a red luster circulating, and the thick fighting spirit is mixed with the power of order, forming a sacred pattern, it flashes like a line, purifying everything around, because of the insertion of this big sword, the magic circle on the ground seems to have encountered a natural enemy, and puffs of black smoke rise in the sharp noise, and the evil light quickly dims, and the blasphemous runes are not turning.
"What's going on!?"
"Attack!"
"We've been discovered!"
Startled by the unexpected attack, the black-robed man present suddenly panicked,
And just when the magic circle was broken, in the palace of Morlai, in the royal study, the ruler of the empire who was originally resting suddenly stood up suddenly.
"Blasphemy Circle...... The power of the evil gods, these damned cultists, actually blocked my perception! β
He was furious, his dark golden hair almost stood up, and his well-defined face was full of disgust and hatred, and Israel turned his head and said in a deep voice with the archmage who also sensed the evil aura on his side, "Teacher, send me there...... Wait a minute. β
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 see that scene.
"Really...... Haha, he's gone. β
The white-haired mage was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his originally indifferent face.
On his side, His Majesty the Emperor's face also slowly changed, angry, surprised, and confused, until finally, he also laughed in a low voice: "Then let him go." β
And in the hut.
With the panicked actions and shouts of the cultists, the gate was violently slammed, and in the flying sawdust and stone chips, a cold light flashed, and another giant axe was thrown, slashing through the atmosphere like a flying star, completely slashing through the circle.
"I said."
A voice came.
"Be quiet, you."
