Chapter 155: Territory
"Territory!" Hearing this word, Malthus and I couldn't help but be taken aback, maybe many people who don't know about magic can't understand our surprise at the moment, and even think it's a bit of a fuss, but in fact, there is another explanation for this word in the wizarding world, for the demons, the so-called "territory" is similar to a kind of enchantment, unless the caster himself agrees, no one wants to enter or exit, and the stronger the spellcaster's mana, the greater the power of the enchantment, and some high-level enchantments can even trap angels and demons, Of course, if that alone wasn't enough to surprise me, after all, it's easy for a high-ranking demon like Gragon to do that, and what really makes me feel is the method needed to establish a "territory"...
"So the fire... It's a "blood sacrifice"!" I was surprised.
"That's right, I feel inexplicably excited when I think of the painful expressions of those people at that time." Gragon smirked, and seemed genuinely happy about it...
"Bastard, you've deprived dozens of innocent lives just for this!?" I can't help but be furious when I see Gragon's shameless attitude, in fact, the so-called "blood sacrifice" is to exchange human lives for the control of a certain space by the demons, in other words, the so-called "territory" is based on the soul of the deceased, the more lives sacrificed in the "blood sacrifice", the more painful the process, the stronger the power of the "territory".
"It's just a fair deal, and I didn't bring it up in the first place..."Gragon spread his hands, showing that he was also forced to helplessly.
I couldn't help but be slightly stunned when I heard Gragon say this, thinking of the summoning array I had just seen on the ground, and the words that Gragon had said at the beginning, I suddenly realized that the whole thing was far more complicated and even more evil than I expected: "... Did someone deliberately summon you in exchange for eternal life?"
"That's right, and he's a priest, ironic, isn't it?" Gragon said triumphantly.
"Why did he do it? That's an apostasy." Although the general situation is consistent with our previous speculation, it is still strange to say it from Gragon's own mouth, although I also understand how tempting eternal life is for human beings, and even though the clergy are already mixed, what is it that would make people dare to do such crazy things in the face of the world's condemnation?
"Reason? It's been too long for me to remember a little clearly, it seems to be to save a group of dead children, right? Human beings are really stupid creatures to sacrifice their lives, honors, and even souls for the sake of people who have nothing to do with them. It's incredible." Gragon touched his chin as he spoke, as if he was genuinely puzzled by the matter.
"Of course, because you're a bastard in the first place." Although Gragon's account is quite brief, it can still make people understand the whole story, it seems that in order to save a group of children who died prematurely for some reason, the local priest was forced to risk the world's condemnation and use the summoning array to find Gragon, intending to exchange his soul for the resurrection of those children, although the relationship between the priest and the group of children is not clear, this kind of burning is indeed a bit stupid, However, I could not bear to criticize this sacrificial priest, much less to ridicule Gragon.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, in the end I "granted" his wish, and the guy and his beloved children turned into zombies and wandered in this church forever... He should have thanked me. Haha."
"Bastard!" Although I know that this guy Gragon has no bottom line, when I hear this, I can't help but be angry, what does this guy think of humans!? What do you think of people's hearts!? The thought that the rumored wails that echoed in the church late at night might have been made by someone who had turned into a zombie, and my anger could not be contained, so I jumped in front of Gragon and punched the guy in the chin, Gragon didn't seem to expect me to strike so suddenly, I didn't have time to defend at all, I was sent flying on the spot, and fell heavily on the rubble, and also overwhelmed my two accomplices, because it all happened so suddenly, Almost everyone else present, including Malthus, was stunned, not even a single person who stepped forward to stop me...
"Hehe, I'm actually angry about this kind of thing, you kid is really getting more and more useless..."To say that Gragon is a high-level demon after all, even if he is facing me, he quickly got up from the ground, only to see it gently touch its chin with its hand, and a sneer of disdain appeared on its face, and it seemed that nothing had happened.
"And even the fists have become so weak, let me teach you how to hit someone!" Gragon's voice did not fall, suddenly the big hand was raised, I only felt a heat wave hit, I knew that something was wrong and hurriedly opened the protective shield, almost at the same time Gragon's fist had arrived, at that time I felt as if I had hit a wall directly, the whole person flew out of the ground, thanks to Malthus's quick reaction on the side, saw that the opportunity was not good and hurriedly flew forward to catch me, which did not let me fall on all fours, even so the huge momentum still made the two of us take seven or eight steps backwards to stand firm, This shows how powerful Gragon's punch is.
"Cut, it's pretty fast." Seeing that he had not knocked me down, Gragon pouted in dissatisfaction, and then swooped down on us, despite its huge size, but its movements were unusually fast, and in the blink of an eye, the fist like a water tank appeared in front of me again. Before I could react, Malthus had already used his housekeeping trick "Crossing Over", which instantly teleported the two of us into the air before the fist could make contact with my nose...
"Damn, you know what to do!" Seeing that another blow fell into the air, Gragon couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and opened his mouth to spew out a burst of flame at us, you must know that it is a "magic fire" that even the gods can burn, just now if I and Malthus are not on the spot, they will not be turned into charcoal on the spot, I am afraid they will also become barbecue, so the "Dream Demon King" saw that the situation was not good, so he repeated his tricks, and took me to "cross" again, but this time it was different from before, and I felt as if I had hit some mollusk halfway, and the whole person was bounced back, When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the ceiling of the church was actually in front of me, and it was clear that it was full of holes, and I could even clearly see the midday sun outside, but we couldn't get out of it, and at the same time I could clearly feel a powerful magic around me.
"If you want to get out of here, you can't get out of here unless you take me down first!" Gragon laughed wildly on the ground, and at the same time the attack on us became more ferocious, and since he couldn't get out, Malthus had to take me around the inside of the church, and the scene was really like fighting mosquitoes...
