Chapter 396: Resurrection and Return [I]
The chanting of the incantation became more and more rapid and excited, and the pool of black ink-like water in front of Tang Bai became even darker. Like the sea under the wind and waves, the tumbling and shaking also became more and more surging with the rapid and passionate sound of incantations!
Suddenly, a black, ethereal figure formed like a black mist, churned out from the black pool water surging in the dark tide, as if inexplicably summoned in the air, hovering and wandering over the black pool water, and then meandering towards the direction where Tang Bai was.
The woman who was tied on the stone platform, wearing a Sonya necklace and a very similar to Sonya, saw this strange and chilling scene, her delicate face was covered with a deep look of horror, if it weren't for her speech, and her hands and feet were just bound, so that she couldn't scream, I'm afraid that most of the basement would be immersed in her screams full of fear this time.
got Tang Bai's reminder in advance, so that no matter what they saw, they had to stay calm and composed, and Lucien and Amelia, who couldn't make a noise to disturb, faithfully carried out Tang Bai's reminder. The rest of the people who were sacrificed were also bound hand and foot in advance, and their mouths were sealed with duct tape.
Lucien stared at the mist-like ethereal formlessness, watching it float in front of Tang Bai like a wisp of black mist, watching it stop and possess itself in front of the stone platform, watching it hover back and forth like air beside the woman who kept struggling on the stone platform.
The Bible of the Dead, which had reawakened and regained new vitality and strength with Anubis, was silently suspended in front of Tang Bai's eyes at an angle of forty-five degrees upward. The chanting continued, and Tang Bai had already raised a knife in his hand, and a dagger engraved with various incantations of ancient Egypt on his body.
The dagger is also a crucial part of the resurrection ritual, as it makes it easier for summoned dead souls to merge into new bodies without breaking in. The incantations inscribed on the blade of this dagger were a similar incantation of detention.
A dagger piercing a living person's body will not cause harm to the human body in the same way as a real knife. Its function is to directly extract and imprison the soul in a shell. The incantation engraved on the knife body, Tang Bai also made a small optimization and modification under the guidance of Anubis.
The optimized and modified alchemy spell array, in addition to retaining the original utility, has been more thorough in extraction and detention. Along with all the traces of memory recorded in the body, they will be brought out by the drawn blade along with the soul. This allows the resurrected soul to avoid the troubles and influences of the memories of the original owner of the body, and better grasp the new body.
The blade of the knife pierced into the lower abdomen of the woman on the stone platform, and the woman's eyes immediately became dull and dull at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person was filled with a dead silence. The moment the blade was pulled away from her shell, although there was not a single wound on her body, not a drop of blood flowed out, the woman had already lost her original vitality as if she had died suddenly.
And the black humanoid mist that had been circling around for a long time seemed to have finally waited for the time, and pounced on the corpse of the woman who still had a little warmth left on the stone platform. A thick mist surged along her facial features, submerging into the woman's body.
At this moment, Tang Bai's originally passionate recitation came to an abrupt end. Tang Bai took a step back slightly, watching the lifeless woman on the stone platform suddenly open her eyes, and wanted to lift up as if she had woken up from a nightmare.
Lucien, who was already a little agitated on the side, immediately looked at Tang Bai with an inquiring look.
"Lucien?" The woman struggling on the stone platform swept to Lucien, who was on the side, and her tone was filled with an indescribable surprise and trance, and she suddenly shouted.
Lucian's body trembled suddenly, his heart seemed to be pinched by a palm on it, his eyes were red, and he stared blankly at the woman on the stone platform who gave him a strong sense of familiarity. Especially when he met the woman's eyes, Lucien thought in a trance that he had returned to the time when Sonya was still alive nearly a thousand years ago.
"You can get out of here and have a good conversation. Of course, after the exchange, it is best to let her rest more, it will take a little time for her to really integrate and control this body with ease. Tang Bai used a dagger to cut the rope that bound Sanya, and said to Lucien, who was at a loss: "With the run-in degree between her and this new body now, it is difficult to even walk. So you can hold her and leave. When she has mastered the body thoroughly, her face will return to its original state. ”
When Lucien heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched his arms, and gently held the woman on the stone platform in the posture of a princess in his arms, as if he was holding a peerless treasure.
Unlike the sense of emptiness and distance that other women brought to Lucian, this body in his arms brought him an indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness. It seems that as long as there is this person in his arms, he has everything in the world. This feeling, Lucien only felt from her when he was holding her.
He threw the spell dagger he had used once into the black pool of water, and watched as a large, somewhat similar face to Sonya floated from the black water, and then sank in like a drowning and disappeared. Tang Bai took out another new dagger, knocked on the stone platform twice, and said to Serena on the side, "Now, it's your turn." ”
With Lucien's case in the past, Serena naturally no longer worries and doubts about whether Tang Bai can fulfill his promise. Hearing Tang Bai's words, Serena immediately picked up a man who was very similar to his father in terms of size, weight, skin color, and race, put him on the stone platform, and tied it with ropes.
Lucien was cautious and cautious, as if he was carrying a fragile object in his arms, and quietly left the basement with the resurrected Sanya, and Ruiz did not leave with Lucien for the first time. He felt that the current Lucien did not need his followers for the time being, but needed a little space to be alone with Sanya.
The consumption of holding a resurrection ceremony was somewhat beyond Tang Bai's expectations. If it weren't for the fact that he could borrow some of Anubis's power at will in this world, with his own words, even if he added Xiaolong, after several resurrection rituals, he would have been able to feel a tired and prostrative feeling.
According to Anubis, this is a process that must be gone through to get back to the top. When everything is not normal, consumption will naturally increase. (To be continued.) )
