Chapter 35: Infiltration
"So what are we going to do now? Just wait for backup?"
Elle asks Charlotte with a lack of interest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How is that possible!" Charlotte rolled her eyes back, "listen! I have only one request for you - all actions are under command!"
As it stands, it is impossible to determine whether the call for help was successfully conveyed to Aven. It stands to reason that it is the right choice to withdraw from the underground labyrinth to seek reinforcements at this moment.
However, once it does, it means failure. If the opponent's Abyss Summoning Technique is really successful, then Lucerne will inevitably fall into a bloody storm.
Charlotte is determined to use her mind to find a way out of the situation.
"Let's go back to the Tactical Theater from the beginning!" Charlotte decided.
"Huh, you're the one who wants to escape, and you're the one who's going to return now! What the hell are you thinking! Stupid Charlotte!"
Elle bared her teeth and asked.
Charlotte rolled her eyes, "Keep up!"
He didn't bother to explain too much to the stupid El.
There are reasons for such a choice. The more powerful the circle, the more demanding it is.
Just like when Sylvia used to reverse the six-pointed star circle, the conditions were so harsh that six people related to Lu Sien, the Lord of Time, had to be gathered to act as nodes for the spell to take effect.
He recalled the human crucifixion head he had seen in the Tactics Arena, and immediately realized that it was one of the key points in the Abyssal Summoning.
In other words, destroying that node would frustrate the plans of the Annihilation Society.
And......
"They wouldn't have thought I would dare to return to the Tactics Arena!"
Charlotte thought so and acted immediately.
He cast an illusion invisibility spell on himself, cautiously following the passage in his memory.
Along the way, he met several groups of black-robed Annihilation Society members. The madmen were fanatical, and they escorted blood-stained sacrifices like pilgrims to the central hall.
The nobles who were originally high in the sky were now drooping their heads and were sluggish. Some of those who lacked energy fell to the ground, weeping like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, the cultists were unmoved, dragging heavy chains, treating these Gu worms who had triumphed from the side hall as if they were livestock.
Whenever this happens, Charlotte hides in a dark corner, holding her breath and forcing herself to calm down.
Of course he has the ability to save them, but then what?
He will be immediately discovered by the annihilation of all things, and then fall into the dilemma of being surrounded and suppressed. At that time, the whole city of Lucerne will be plunged into a hell of chaos!
After dodging another group of disciples, the tactical deduction hall was not far away. At this moment, there was a faint commotion around the corner ahead.
"Let go of me!" someone shouted angrily, "You lunatics who deserve to go to hell! maggots smell of sulfur!
"Wait, the Great Sanhedrin of Erosa will punish you! All that awaits you will be a holy burn at the stake!"
"Hahaha! find out your condition, stupid pig!" the cultist replied with a sarcastic laugh, "before that you will be offered as a sacrifice to the great Lord of the Black! you should be honored, shouldn't you?"
The voice of the curser was familiar, and Charlotte poked her head out of the corner to find that it was an old acquaintance, Alec Corey. This guy is like a reckless man who doesn't know what is going on, struggling under the grip of the cultists.
Charlotte had thought that he would die in Kathryn's Gu Worm Sacrifice, but she didn't expect him to become one of the few 'lucky ones' who stood out.
"Whew!"
Alec spat at the cultist who was pinching his chin.
"Since you feel so honored, why don't you become a sacrifice to the Lord of Darkness!"
"You, you ......"
The leading believers were dumbfounded and had nothing to say.
"Gollum ......"
Elle couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a laugh.
"Who!" roared the cultist.
Alec looked expectantly into the corner.
Charlotte glared at Elle fiercely, covering her mouth and retreating into the shadows.
The four cultists escorting Alec glanced at each other, and the leader nodded at one of them, who held a torch and drew his sword from his waist to the corner.
The shadows of the people cast onto the earthen walls, and in the flickering firelight, the shadows were like devils.
The cultist stretched the torch forward and peered into the shadows, and the unexpected presence in front of him made him blink his eyes.
"What's wrong?" the leader asked aloud.
"W-That...... Captain!" the cultist asked suspiciously, "Did Lord Kathryn invite the young girl to the bloody feast this time?"
"Huh?"
Everyone, including Alec, looked surprised.
"You're not stupid, are you?" or are you making fun of me?" the leader was furious, "believe it or not that I'm making you a sacrifice?"
"But, but there really is a noble young girl here!"
The cultist responded loudly in an aggrieved tone, and he turned his head viciously to reprimand. "Hey, little girl, get out of here!"
In the shocked expressions of everyone, a silver-haired Lori with a double ponytail moved out crying.
She was wearing a blue and white aristocratic dress, rubbing her eyes with her hands, and her immature shoulders were constantly shrugging, looking both aggrieved and frightened.
"There are really aristocratic young girls...... "The leader of the Adam's apple stirred, "Those nobles who should go to hell really know how to play!"
It seems that he took Elle as a plaything brought into the venue by some nobleman.
"Do you need to report to the chief?" asked the congregation, expectantly.
"Are you an idiot!?Is a young girl called an anomaly?" the leader laughed, "Bring her here! Maybe we'll have some fun when we're done!"
His subordinates laughed happily.
"You brutes, don't you even spare such a small child?" Alec struggled, "Run, little miss! these people are crazy people who deserve to go to hell!"
"Shut up, you pig!"
The leader kicked Alec to the ground, and the corner of the latter's mouth oozed a terrible froth of blood.
Actually shot at such a small aristocratic lady! It's just a bunch of beasts!
Although he likes to have fun and provoke trouble, Alec is not the kind of pervert who will shoot at young girls (the pervert is you! He glared at the Red Sect and gritted his teeth as he watched the Annihilation Society, hating his powerlessness more than ever.
"Very good, little girl, put your hands down! Let me take a good look at you!"
The poor young girl approached the leader, and before his eyes, the young girl, who kept shrugging her shoulders, obediently lowered her little hand that was rubbing her eyes.
To everyone's surprise, the little girl's delicate and picturesque face was actually an excited smile.
"Suffocate, suffocate Al-Elle!Poofhahaha!A bunch of pigs and dogs are not as stupid!Send the great Elle to hell!"
The little girl's hands were stretched out, and all kinds of brilliant magical brilliance bloomed from the white palms.
In the next second, a rainbow-colored torrent engulfed the cultists!
"What's wrong with this, what's wrong with this world? Is it that I can't keep up with the times? Or are there too many monsters in this world?"
Alec was dumbfounded, and he noticed that Elle was approaching him.
"Wow! No, don't come here!"
"Hmph, where did that stupid guy who wasn't afraid of rape go?" Elle pouted with her hands behind her back.
“…… Little Miss, look at your age first! This is beyond common sense!"
"Hmph, what's the age, Miss Ben is better than your grandfather's grandfather...... It's big!"
"Alright, is this the time to care about this, it's time to destroy the nodes of the circle!"
Alec looked up.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle!?
