Chapter 251: The Key to the Shadows
Seeing this sword, Elise and Nadia were stunned, they were both seeing this sword for the first time, and the latter did not even know that this sword was actually the main culprit that caused the conflict between Jenn and Alexander. It's no wonder, just because the sword is so ugly that it looks like it was dug out of a pile of coal, and the hilt and scabbard are covered with layers of iron lumps that look like they have failed to fire. No one is surprised that this thing was found out of a pile of scrap metal, so what role could it play here?
Only Enoa's eyes lit up when she saw the sword, and then she immediately smiled and looked at Jenn in front of her.
"Master, are you going to hold a ceremony here?"
"That's a good opportunity, isn't it?"
Hearing Enoa's words, Jenn smiled and nodded, giving her an approving look. Sure enough, only Enoa understood his thoughts, and looked at the two wide-eyed goods now......... Especially Elise, Jenn said that after going back, it seems that he will "educate" her well.
In fact, the reason why Jenn chose to unlock the seal of the Shadow Moon Sword at this time was not a whim, in fact, the reason why he chose to go to Casalans in the first place was precisely because of this "plague land". It is not for nothing that the Sword of the Shadow Moon is called a pseudo-artifact, although its power is indeed powerful, but there is a rather troublesome element -- the Sword of the Shadow Moon was born in the shadow plane, to put it bluntly, it is a key to open the lock of the passage of the shadow plane, and the consequence of this is that if Jenn wants to awaken the Sword of the Shadow Moon, he must find a lunar eclipse night where no one is around. Otherwise, the moment he activated the Sword of the Shadow Moon. A large area around this artifact will overlap the shadow plane, which means that the monsters of the shadow plane will run out of the dark world and run around. and attack the wielder of the Shadow Moon Sword. Jenn, on the other hand, must fend off their attacks until the Shadow Moon Sword is reactivated. until it is reconnected to the shadow plane.
It is precisely because of this that he wants to find a quiet and no-man's land. Otherwise, if you build this kind of plane on your own territory, it will be no different from those nobles who summon demons. After all, the Shadow Plane is not friendly to humans, and many of the shadow creatures in it are also from the evil camp. That's why Jenn wants to find a place to activate the Sword of the Shadow Moon when he comes to Casaranth, the so-called Dead Dao Friend Immortal Poor Dao, even if something happens to it, it won't affect the Eagle Plateau anyway, right?
It's just that I didn't expect the Order of the Mother of Chaos to give Jenn such a good opportunity, if the shadow plane is opened in the projection of Nicholas's stomach, then of course there will be no problems. Not only do you not have to worry about those shadow monsters coming to attack. It is even possible to use the interlacing of the two planes to drive Nicholas out. After all, it is not Nicholas's real body that has descended here, but the projection, the impact brought by the dual-plane projection is unbearable even for the ancient evil gods, anyone can imagine what it would be like to suddenly feel someone pour a bottle of ink into your stomach when you are eating and drinking, and at that time, Jenn and the others will naturally be safe.........
Of course, Jenn didn't elaborate on the ins and outs of this to Nadia, he only told Nadia that it was an interesting magic weapon that he had stumbled upon at the auction and could be used to open the Shadow Plane, as long as it could open the Plane Portal. Then the projection of Nicholas can be forced to leave the main plane. If you don't go to the doctor if you eat a bad stomach, it will only be worse, and Nicholas will not understand this truth.
It's just that there are still a few troubles.
"The time to open the shadow plane can only be when the eclipse begins, and there is no need to think about activation, but after that. There is a good chance that we will face a tough battle. ”
As he spoke, Jenn looked up and glanced overhead. Outside, you can clearly hear the sound of "gurgling" like the squirming and digestion of internal organs. You don't have to look closely at Jenn to guess that Nicholas is slowly but comfortably digesting the entire Kassandra building. Perhaps the previously hard buildings had now turned into melted cheese and butter, crookedly absorbed into the blood-red devouring realm. Even without the Evil Eye. Jenn could see that the large patch of bright red jelly-like thing was moving slowly but unsteadyly, rolling and enveloping all the qiē inside. Then the scene of peristaltic absorption.
Although he had seen similar records in the records, Jenn would never want to be one of them.
"Shadow creatures will come to us for trouble, you need to be extra careful, the entity's obstruction is of little use to them, so we must take care of the magic protection as soon as possible. Although the 'messengers' of Nicholas outside will also weaken the shadow monsters to a certain extent, we better not put our hopes too much on those guys. And ........."
At this, Jenn paused, and then he stared at the three of them with a stern expression.
"You must remember that the area where the shadow plane opens is random, and even I don't know where it will connect, so you must follow my orders, no matter what you are asked to do, don't ask, just do it."
Jenn's caution is not unreasonable, the shadow plane also has a powerful ruling class, and the strength of a shadow lord itself is not far from that of a high-level demon clan, in this case, if the shadow plane opened by Jenn happens to be connected to the bedroom of a certain shadow lord, you can imagine how big the trouble will be next. Jenn didn't want to fight against Nicholas and at the same time have to deal with some Shadow Lord, these half-dimensional creatures are cold and ruthless, and have little to do with either side. Even if Jenn was the son of the Demon King, he didn't think that the other party would show mercy to his subordinates because of his status.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The "gurgling" of internal organs outside became louder and louder, echoing in the silent cellar, and at this moment, Elise had already drawn a magic circle to activate the dimensional passage in the open space in the middle of the cellar according to Jenn's instructions, just waiting for the night of the lunar eclipse.
That's right, for them. The only thing we can do now is wait.
Scarlet Day.
The old bishop stood on the altar. Look out at the world shrouded in bright red. Behind him, there was a crawl on the ground. Worshippers and knights praying in low voices. The thick smell of blood in the air was disgusting, but the intoxicated expressions of these people were as if they were enjoying the ultimate aroma.
It was sunset, but the whole of Kassandra was still shrouded in a bright red blood, the red was so striking that it had condensed and transformed into a thick mist, enveloping the entire outer city. The old bishop knew what they were doing, and now that the ritual had reached its most crucial point, the Mother of Chaos was absorbing the qiē she had once been born into, and it would restore the forsaken Mother Goddess to its rightful power. One day, she will return to her godhood, and at that time she will be by her side as her most humble and faithful believer, witnessing the destruction of all things again.........
Thinking of this, the old bishop's eyes narrowed, and when he thought of that exciting scene, the old man even felt his heart beat a lot faster. His thin body began to tremble involuntarily. He knew that it would not be long before the inner city would fall completely, by that time. All of them will return to the embrace of the Mother of Chaos. By the time the sun rises again, the whole of Casalanth -- no, the whole Klein continent. They will all tremble at the great miracle of the Mother Goddess!!
"Whew..................!!"
And at this time, suddenly. An eerie sound came from afar, pulling the old bishop, who had been in a frenzy, back to reality. He opened his eyes. Looking ahead in disbelief, he saw that the red fog that had been rolling and spreading seemed to have been pierced by something at this moment, and suddenly retreated, and then a deafening roar sounded.
"Boom!!"
A thunderous roar rolled out into the sky, and for a moment the believers opened their eyes and looked around in horror. They did not know what had happened, nor what was the present situation, for this was not what the Bishop had told them before, and for a time many people became uneasy.
"Silence, silence!!"
Looking at the commotion of believers behind him, the old bishop frowned, and he opened his hands to signal the panicked believers to calm down. Then the old bishop turned his head and looked at the place where the sound had come from, and if he remembered correctly, the place where the voice had come from before must have been the square district. Could it be that those intruders are the devil? He originally thought that the other party had been completely absorbed by the Mother of Chaos, but now it seemed that these guys were not so easy to deal with.
But before the old bishop could think anything more, a sudden change occurred.
A jet-black pillar of light rose into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the originally bright red barrier suddenly changed color, incomparable, and the cold darkness and shadow shrouded it. Even the altar where the old bishop was standing suddenly shrank with the fluctuation of this dark shadow, and the next moment the light became more and more gray, although the flames were still burning in the sacrificial brazier, but the world in front of everyone became illusory and unclear, and the rich dark shadows became more and more conspicuous in the light. As far as the eye can see, I can only see the reflection of people, the reflection of buildings, the shadows on the earth, and all kinds of shadows seem to be intertwined and superimposed on each other at this moment, forming an indescribable, strange existence full of heaviness and three-dimensionality.
Seeing this scene, the old bishop was stunned for a moment, he stretched out his hand and put it into the shadows, but he felt a chilling cold and stinging sensation coming from his palm, it was as if he had put his hand into a basin of ice water, but the problem was that in front of him, it was only a dark shadow.
It's just a shadow...............
"Ahh
At this moment, a scream sounded, and the old bishop looked back, only to see that almost at the same time, a slender claw stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the arm of a believer not far behind him, and then the next moment, a black shadow flame suddenly erupted, enveloping the unlucky man in it, and then saw the believer's body twitch suddenly, and then flipped to the ground. His face was pale, and even between his eyebrows, he could see the snow-white frost, as if he had been frozen to death.
At this moment, the crowd behind him also began to make noise, people screamed and cried backwards, and the knights drew their swords and pounced in this direction. Immediately after, they noticed that the shadows around them suddenly began to tremble like ripples on the water, and then one by one, dark figures walked out of it.
The door to the shadow plane is open. (To be continued......)
