Chapter 490: Hymn to the Soul
Cross knows very well that now on the Silent side, including the clown and others, as long as even one person can move freely, as long as he comes over and gently grabs the tail of the refined copper snake, Cross and the refined copper snake will not escape the fate of being assimilated by the combination of the sheepskin scroll.
In order to protect everyone, Celent used the rune light belt to trap everyone, but at this time, it became a double-edged sword, and none of the trapped people had a way to get out of the entanglement of the rune light belt to help him. Celent himself was also in a torment, and he was eager to solve the immediate problem as soon as possible, and hurried to search for Alfie's body. Because the original parchment scroll made it clear that the soul resurrection spell only worked on people who had just died.
When Celent realizes that time is pressing, the Parchment Scroll tells him that there is nothing he can do about it, and that all the Parchment Scroll can do for now is to protect his body from the erosion of divine power, and the rest is left to himself.
Without the help of external forces, it seems that Celent wants to fuse and digest all the two divine powers, which is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, but Celent is helpless about this, the only thing he can do is to use the knowledge of the soul gods that the parchment scroll has just forced into him, and digest the erosion of the soul divine power on his body bit by bit.
However, this was only a palliative solution, and as Celent continued to learn more about the soul god, he found that the immediate task was to find a suitable shelter for the soul power that was flowing through his body.
The entire dungeon fell into a deathly silence, except for the occasional sound of the refined copper snake rubbing its body against the ground, and the stalemate continued without the slightest sign of being broken. No one knows when the key to breaking the deadlock will be.
Celent had communicated with the Parchment Scroll more than once, so it was better to let Cross go first, so that the Parchment Scroll could free up his hand to untie the rune ribbon. Although it is possible to lose the chance to merge the fragments of the Soul Chapter, at least Elfie's body can be found in time for Slent to revive him with the Reinvention Charm.
In Selent's opinion, nothing is more important than resurrecting Alfie, but for the Sheepskin Scroll, he is unwilling to give up this great opportunity to merge, so he chooses to ignore Serente's suggestion.
Celent was so anxious that every minute of delay now reduced Alfie's chances of survival. But he couldn't do anything with the sheepskin scroll.
The people trapped in the rune light belt had long since given up the struggle after discovering that there was no way to fight against the soul divine power emitted by the divine inscription on the light belt, even the clown. Years of captivity have brought about a major change in the mindset of the Sanctuary Assassin, who knows how to advance and retreat, even if his personality is still insane. After learning that it was the soul divine power that controlled him, he wisely chose to forbear for the time being. For an Assassin, patience is never lacking.
The Joker, who had completely relaxed, watched the other people's performances with interest, and he noticed that the grief caused by Alfie's death had only affected the paladin the most, and that Celent even showed signs of what Coughren called the collapse of his faith.
As for the others, it seems that they quickly came out of that sad atmosphere. The old dwarf was unsurprisingly drunk again, even though his soul was trapped by the rune light belt, and the movement of his body might cause the soul and body to be separated, but the old dwarf didn't care at all, and still kept pouring wine. The clown reacted suddenly, their current state of soul and body out of sync was very similar to that after being drunk, probably the drunken old dwarf did not realize this danger at all.
Rebecca was closing her eyes and thinking about something, the soul divine power, a power system that had been extinct in the mainland for a long time, seemed to bring her a lot of shock and trouble.
The great Troll Warrior and the little beast tamer Katie were there frowning and teasing, not knowing what kind of code language they were communicating.
As for the most unlucky one, Coughren was the most unlucky, his face was particularly ugly, and he knew at a glance that he was suffering greatly. As a former cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, the clown estimated that among the people present, except for Vincent, the soul divine power was obviously the most unkind to Coughren, allowing him to enjoy special care. The clown estimated that he must have some secret treasure from the Holy See, so his body did not show symptoms of being eroded by divine power like Celrent.
At this moment, the clown suddenly heard a faint singing voice coming from nowhere, which seemed to act directly on the soul of the person, making him feel a soul trembling. The clown thought he was hallucinating, but when he saw that everyone else had confused expressions on their faces, he was sure that the heart-warming singing voice really existed.
"Did you hear a kind of singing that didn't exist?" Rebecca asked, opening her eyes and asking in confusion.
"Yes, yes, you heard that, too?" Zambit immediately chimed in.
"This song is so beautiful~" Katie showed an intoxicated expression.
As he spoke, the singing began to grow clearer and clearer, lingering in every inch of space throughout the dungeon. The melody of the song always gives the clown a sense of déjà vu, but the lyrics are in a language that the clown has never heard before, and the well-informed clown even feels that this language does not belong on the continent of Eliad.
The Joker can be sure that he has never heard this song before, and the melody of this song has a unique magic that makes people unable to extricate themselves from it as soon as they hear it, and in the blink of an eye, everyone present, including Cross, is captured.
Along with this unheard of magical melody, an ethereal lilac mist began to fill the entire dungeon, and from time to time there flashed a bright light like stars, which made people deeply enchanted.
"Boss, does it sound like a hymn we've heard before?" Planck, who had not spoken, asked suddenly.
"Yes, this song is very much like a sacred hymn!" the clown looked at Kofren, whose expression was even more anguish after hearing the song.
When Planck reminded him of this, the clown immediately realized why he always had a familiar feeling about the song, that they had been imprisoned on the Holy Mountain for a time after they had been captured by the previous Pope. During that time, the trio could hear the Holy See's choir singing the famous Holy Hymn almost every day.
After being brainwashed by the sacred hymn for a long time, the sacred hymn that was like a natural sound to others was like a magic sound to them, and the three of them all hated it.
The mysterious song that now appears in the dungeon is not the same as the melody of the sacred hymn, but the use of rhyme suggests that both are supposed to have been written by the same person.
"It's ...... From the Cult of Souls...... Praise the ...... of the God of the Soul Hymns to the soul. Coughlon spat out a few words with a hideous expression.
