Chapter 142: Crazy Faith (I)
When Riel arrived at the village of Morolo, the first thing he saw was a mass of scarlet light converging into a hemispherical huge barrier, enveloping the entire village, and the strange blood-colored light was constantly throbbing regularly, as if the organs of some kind of creature, and between the beatings and movements, the flickering light continued to spit out from the barrier and was absorbed into it.
If it was not bad, this thing was the enchantment formed by the five-star magic that Riel felt, but now that he looked closer, he could clearly feel the astonishing amount of manpower hidden between the enchantments and the circulation.
Riel tried to decipher the composition of the enchantment, but found that the internal structure of the enchantment was quite amazingly complex, and the whole body was completely integrated, so he couldn't find a place to start.
“…… Forget it, sure enough, the technique of dismantling the enchantment is not suitable for me, and a guy like me is still used to another method. ”
As he spoke, seven golden-red fireballs ignited around Riel, and the six wind tentacles behind him quickly formed, which was obviously because Riel couldn't find a way to break the enchantment in reverse calculation, and planned to directly and violently demolish it!
"Listen up, the people inside, I don't know why you arranged this enchantment for what reason, but I don't want to know Lu Dao, I'll give you five minutes to open the enchantment, otherwise, I'll get in by myself!"
Originally, Riel didn't want to be so polite, but this enchantment gave him a very bad premonition, because what he had learned was not enough to get in touch with something as advanced as five-star magic, so Riel couldn't be very accurate about what the enchantment in front of him was, but judging from the clues he had observed so far, it seemed to be a ......
…… Sacrificial Circle!
That's right, it's a sacrificial circle, demarcating an area through an enchantment, and then designating a certain number of sacrifices within the area. Then, as long as you activate the circle, you can directly convert the sacrifice into mana to supply the enchantment.
And if you want to support the operation of a five-star great magic, it is definitely not the lives of one or two people who are sacrificed!
Riel had lived in the village of Morolo for two months, and had some friendship with the hundreds of residents in the village, so how could he stand by and watch them being used as sacrificial materials?
So, after judging the general activation principle of this enchantment, Riel no longer had the heart to talk to the person who arranged the enchantment inside. Sacrificial Circle, even if Riel now slaughters all the people who activated the circle inside, ordinary people will not accuse him of being ruthless, but will applaud his actions, after all, the so-called Sacrificial Circle...... It's something that's been "taboo" by the Magic Association for a long time.
In the central square of Morolo Village, Rare's voice reached the ears of Marcus and his party word for word, but naturally, they simply ignored Ryel's words after making up their minds to fight to the end.
"It's time, get ready to replace the 'sacrifice'!"
Marcus gave the order. Several subordinates around him also responded immediately, almost as soon as the words fell, the five crystal pillars immediately shone brightly, and the villagers who were sealed in the crystal pillars convulsed and spasmed all over their bodies, and their bodies aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few breaths, they changed from a middle-aged man in his thirties to a pile of white skeletons.
The remnants of the life force drained were detached from the crystal pillar, and at the same time. Several men held up the five "sacrifices" that had just been selected from the villagers on the left and right, and escorted them in the direction of the crystal pillar.
I just saw the tragic image of the person who was sent into the crystal pillar. How could these men who knew how to be treated obediently accept their fate? They resisted and struggled like crazy, and the strength was so great that they even had to get out of the grip of the people who escorted them, after all, the explosive power of human beings in the moment of life and death is very amazing, if ...... It's not an external bonus.
Seeing that one of the men broke free of control and began to run for his life as if he were crazy, the two black-robed men who were holding him snorted coldly in unison. A black snake tattoo appeared on their faces, and their right eye changed into a bright yellow snake pupil, and when this change was completed, the black-robed man flew up and jumped, and with a rise and fall, he was blocked in front of the fleeing man. Then, without waiting for the other party to react, he punched the opponent in the lower abdomen.
The body strengthened by accepting the curse of the demon king is a powerful force that ordinary people cannot fight, and it only takes one blow to make the man who escaped lose all his resistance, and his face is pale and he collapses to the ground, and is set up left and right by the people who follow the helper, and continues to escort him in the direction of the crystal pillar.
"You damned beasts, the great gods will not spare you demons who deserve a thousand swords, you will definitely be punished by heaven!"
Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the man who was escorted could only let out a hateful curse, but after listening to his scolding, Marcus turned very calmly and bowed deeply to him and the others who were about to be sent to the crystal pillar.
"I know that you can't understand what you say, but this is the will of the great Mother Goddess, the Mother God needs your life as a sacrifice for 'coming', this is the supreme glory, rest assured, although you will also die once, but when the Mother God comes and reshapes the world, you will definitely be reborn in the new world, the great mother goddess will not forget your sacrifice, and you will definitely be happy in the new world."
If Marcus's words were just pure mockery, then the men who were escorted must have heard the disdain in his tone, but the problem was that when Marcus said this, his tone was extremely sincere and natural, which proved that he really believed everything he said.
"You ...... This group of incomprehensible madmen!! ”
The desperate man was still sent into the crystal pillar, and in the face of the words he shouted after being sealed in the crystal pillar, Marcus only showed an extremely reverent smile.
"Can't you understand? Of course...... Of course, you who have not been baptized by the radiance of the Mother Goddess will not be able to understand the greatness of the Mother Goddess, but it doesn't matter, it will be ...... soon Soon, soon the Mother Goddess will come to this world, and when the time comes, everyone in this world will ...... All can be bathed in the light of the Mother Goddess! ”
Faith is one of the purest forces in this world, and it only tests whether you have a deep "belief" in your heart, so that the Pure White Church can compete with magic and magic, and become one of the most transcendent forces on the continent.
But...... Faith is also one of the most dangerous forces in this world, and when a believer is completely lost in his own faith, he will gain an unimaginably large amount of power, but he will also be completely lost in this power and become a fanatical person who is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.
After resealing the crystal pillar with new offerings, dozens of members of the Dark Truth Society, led by Marcus, stood in a circle around the crystal pillar in the center of the square, and all of them silently bowed their heads and began to mumble to themselves.
"The tribulations of the world are our bread, and we have gone through tribulations only to go to the paradise on the other side......
A roaring purple light erupted from the crystal pillar again, and the condensed light gathered into a beam that soared into the sky, and was immediately devoured and absorbed by the blood-colored light after touching the barrier outside, and this process lasted for about two or three minutes, after which everyone raised their heads in unison and let out a shout.
“…… Praise be to you...... The supreme Mother Goddess! ”
Rare waited for the other party's reaction outside the barrier, and there was no movement for four or five minutes, and just when he couldn't wait any longer, a cloud of blood-colored light suddenly burst out from the scarlet barrier!
The condensed light converged into a giant snake that was nearly thirty meters long even when it was coiled, and its scarlet eyes swept around, quickly focusing on Riel's body.
"I see, is that your answer to my proposal? Since that's the case......"
Seven golden-red fireballs instantly lined up in a row, piercing into a burning flame spear, and with a snap of Ryel's fingers, the burning flame spear spun out, directly hitting the giant snake's seven inches!
Of course, it was impossible for the giant snake to stand and wait to be beaten, and Riel moved it to attack synchronously, and its raised upper body retreated slightly, and then quickly poked out, and at the same time passed by the whirling flame spear, the open mouth of the snake expanded to an exaggerated size of nearly one hundred and thirty degrees, and it had the intention of swallowing Riel in one bite.
For the rapidly approaching Shekou, Riel took a light step back, and the six wind tentacles gathered behind him were handed out simultaneously, rolling up a gust of agitation and fierce wind, and at the same time, the Flame Spear, which had already missed, actually turned around in mid-air, and took the head of the giant snake from behind!
The flame spear hit the target accurately, and the shattering flames wrapped most of the snake's head inside, for the destructive power of this three-star magic, Riel is still very confident, the power of this giant snake fluctuates around HR3, for the current Riel, it is not a powerful opponent at all!
Sure enough, the burning flames shattered most of the snake's head, and the giant snake's body twitched weakly twice before it began to gradually decompose, this time, Riel was even more sure that the five-star magic enchantment in front of him could only be released with the help of the particularity of the sacrificial circle, and in itself, the amount of manpower to release the circle was not strong, and even ...... It's still very weak.
"This level of parallel five-star magic, look at me to break it!"
Riel, who successfully repelled the giant snake, was full of confidence, and the previous six wind tentacles instantly fused into one, and at the tip of the tentacles, a dense cloud of wind elements began to quickly converge!
“…… Well, break it for me! (To be continued......)
