Chapter 334: The Dark Abyss (VI)
Three golden arrows of light pierced through the darkness in that instant, piercing through the palm woven by the magic, causing it to disappear in an instant. Then the three arrows of light stood in the corner of the altar, forming an equilateral triangle, and then the dazzling barrier of light joined in an instant, turning into a pyramid-like barrier, enveloping the fragments of the Death's Shadow Gate.
"Who is it!!"
Seeing that he was about to succeed but was cut off halfway, Verona also shouted angrily, raised his head and looked in the direction of the arrow of light, and then he saw more than a dozen lights and shadows falling from the sky and rushing in the direction where they were. Seeing these lights and shadows, Verona's eyes widened in surprise, he originally thought that it must be the damn undead creature who stopped him, but ......... Who are these guys?
The Doomsday cultists on this side looked extremely surprised, while Tilis on the other side opened her mouth wide and looked at the figures falling from the sky in disbelief. Unlike Verona, Tilis recognized these people of light from the sky almost immediately—they are members of the "Elves and Treasure Chests" adventure party. It's just that unlike what Tilith remembers, the adventurers at this moment are wearing golden armor, holding all kinds of weapons that have never been seen before, and their whole bodies exude a dazzling and sacred aura, if it weren't for Tilis's familiarity with the appearance of each member of the group, I'm afraid she would not have imagined that her companions would appear in front of them in such a state.
"Regimental ........."
Either way, it's always nice to see your companions again. Therefore, Tilis also hurriedly stood up and tried to call their names. But before Tilis could scream. I saw that Jenn beside her pulled the girl down, and then covered her mouth.
"Hmm......... Not............ Mr. Jenn? ”
Faced with Jenn's sudden move. It was also frightened that Tilis was taken aback, and she instinctively struggled for a moment. Then he looked at Jenn suspiciously, not understanding why he would stop him. Sensing Tilis's gaze, Jenn just smiled and whispered in Tilis's ear.
"I advise you not to make a noise, Miss Tillise, that is not your companion anymore, and I am sure that if you attract their attention, we will be in great trouble next."
"For. Why? ”
Hearing Jenn's words, Tillise was full of doubts, but she still bowed down obediently, and then asked. In the face of Tilis's inquiry, Jenn quickly gave an answer.
"Quite simply, because they're not the people you know anymore, and of course, from the looks they are no different from the companions you know. But it's just appearances. On an inner soul level, they have nothing to do with you. ”
"I still don't understand this..............."
For Jenn's answer, Tillise was still confused. But the next moment, what Jenn said immediately made her sober up.
"You are the priest of the Silver Maiden. Miss Tillise, then you should know what it means to be possessed by the Holy Spirit. ”
"Possessed by the Holy Spirit!?"
Hear here. Tillise was taken aback.
As a qualified priest, Tilis certainly knows what it means to be possessed by the Holy Spirit. Although theoretically it would be necessary to go into a long story. But in fact, there is only one effect, and that is the act of the priest praying with guò pious prayer, summoning the messengers of the gods located in the land of the sky to descend to earth in the form of spirits and attach themselves to the physical body. This can be regarded as the "ultimate ultimate" for the priest, because the Holy Spirit attached to the priest will burst out with extremely powerful power, and this situation usually only happens in battles with those great demons or demon kings. However, for Tilis, deep down she was full of confusion.
"Why do they ............... the regiment commander"
It's no wonder that Tillise thinks this way, and in general, the possession of the Holy Spirit is only possible for the most devout believers. But Tillise knows exactly what happened to these people in the "Elves and Chests" group, many of whom may have their own beliefs deep down, but not much respect for the gods. How could they possibly summon the Holy Spirit in such a situation?
"It's forcible arrival."
And Jenn, who was next to him, had obviously seen through Tillise's deep doubts, so he quickly gave an answer. Jenn, the son of the Demon King, must have known much more about this matter than Tilis, in fact, he had already guessed the cause and effect of the whole thing the moment he saw those spirited adventurers. But Tillise was obviously not as knowledgeable as Jenn, on the contrary, when she heard Jenn's answer, the girl's face suddenly turned pale.
"How could it be ...............?"
Forced to descend.
Of course, Tilis understands the meaning of this word, and the so-called forcible advent is a ritual that uses the recipient as a sacrifice and sacrifices their soul life to summon the xenomorphic being. Of course, the people who do this kind of thing on the main plane are usually cultists, and only they will take those reluctant living sacrifices and summon demon kings or other messy things at the cost of their lives and souls. As for the gods, they don't need to worry so much, for the simple reason that when the time comes to the crisis, there are always people who voluntarily come forward and sacrifice their lives for the sake of justice or fairness or truth -- so for the gods, they don't need such means.
But for now, maybe we have to add "most of the time".
"I knew there must be something wrong with that sunglasses there, and now it seems that it is so, the cultists came to look for something underneath, but they didn't find that there was a sunglasses seal on it. So after they touched the seal, the sunglasses were immediately activated. And the luck of Captain Steve and the others was obviously very bad, so they were selected by the sunglasses as a sacrifice for the possession of the Holy Spirit who guarded the seal. ”
"How could it be ...............?"
Although she didn't want to trust Jenn's judgment, Tillise had to admit that what he said was the truth. This made Tillise feel very sad in the depths of her heart. Since she was a child, Tilis has heard a lot of legends about the Nine Sages, in her heart. The gods are amiable and sacrosanct. and gently guard the survival of each people. But now, what happened before her eyes turned Tilis upside down, and the thought of those high gods doing such terrible things like the devil made Tilis feel sad and painful. She used to be so convinced that every god would be gentle with their people and would do everything for the sake of their people, but why would she do such a thing? Ignoring the wishes of others and forcibly taking their bodies and lives, isn't that what only those evil demon kings do? The sun god Amun-la was one of the greatest of the Nine Saints, so why would he do it?
If Jenn knew what was going on in Tillis's mind at the moment. Will definitely scoff at this. Only humans would wishfully think that the gods must be towards humans, and the demon king must have come to destroy them. In fact, human beings themselves belong to the gods and demons belong to the existence of "whatever you want", to put it bluntly, human beings themselves are just toys placed on the sand table of the Klein Continent, and then they are fought over by the gods and demons, this one says "I like this toy, I will put it at home, leave it to me", and the other one says "You put it at home for two seconds and forget it." Give it to me, I have a lot of dolls here, and it's more fun for everyone to be together."
Although the two sides fought fiercely, there was no toy. For both sides, at most, it's just a different way of playing.
And the reason why the gods are friendly to humans is that to put it bluntly, it is only after they take the toy from the demon king. In order to express to the demon kings, "I will do what I say, and I will take care of this doll if I say that I will take care of this doll." Then clean it up every day, rest and sew it up. And when it comes to a pinch, no god is stupid enough to protect a group of toys with his own life. The reverse is pretty much the same.
And just as Tillise was struggling with her heart, the battlefield below began to become chaotic.
Although there are restrictions on the constraints of the plane, the Holy Spirits who forcibly descended to obtain the body through Guò still showed great strength, and those adventurers who were originally only elite Cheng Dù were almost all three-star level strength according to the classification of Jenn's dungeon, even higher than Elise. And the one who is attached to Captain Steve seems to be a sword-wielding archangel, and his strength has directly entered the four-star legendary realm.
But the doomsday cultists they are facing are not good at stubble, the doomsday cult is a "ruining plan" in various planes, plus the elites of the doomsday cult who can come here are the elites of the doomsday god cult, and the strength of the two sides is almost the same. And the black robe at the head of the battle with Steve was even more formed, and from that black robe, Jenn could also feel the powerful dark magic aura, it seemed that it should be a high-level demon who belonged to a certain plane in the lower realm.
Of course, it is not only the Doomsday Cult and the guardian Holy Spirit who are fighting, the dark monsters that have been suppressed again are also ready to move at this moment, it doesn't care who is the Holy Spirit and who is the cultist, in the eyes of these dark monsters, those who break into their territory are enemies. So I soon saw those dark monsters condense and roll again, attacking both sides.
For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic, and the Holy Spirit needed to protect the seal and repel the attacks of the darkness and cultists. The Doomsday Cult is here to snatch the seal, so naturally there is no reason to stop here. The dark monsters, on the other hand, don't care about anyone, just kill them all anyway.
As for Jenn, he took Tilis and Aina to hide from afar to watch the play. Now he was more and more sure that the fragments sealed here were not unusual, otherwise, there would be no need to use the sealing method of the Holy Spirit Possession - you must know that even when sealing some demon kings, there would not be such a big battle. If there is nothing wrong with the fragment of the Shadow Gate of Death, then Jenn doesn't believe it even if he is killed. Now Jenn was very glad that he was cautious enough, otherwise, neither the Holy Spirit nor the dark monsters would be something he could deal with lightly. And that's not all...............
Thinking of this, Jenn raised his head and looked ahead.
The icy and biting chill of death, I don't know when, has gradually spread. (To be continued......)
