Chapter 988: Sacrifice
Barty didn't mean to answer, he didn't even look at the stormy attacks of the dragons in front of him, but he opened his mouth and recited the incantation.
It was the first time anyone present had heard of the spell cast by the Wood Elves, but no one from the Elementals or the Dragons could understand what he was saying—the most likely could only be some kind of language that was exclusive to the demons.
And the five dragons naturally would not wait for him to finish the spell before making a move, Rubens was the first to rush forward: since he knew that he had been attacked by demons, he was completely out of the way at this time, and a large number of spikes quickly appeared on the surface of his huge body under the effect of "Earth Protection", and when he collided with Barty, these cones condensed by the earth element poked at the other party's body fiercely, but the bite that followed him hit a thick shield, and more than a dozen dragon teeth even broke on the spot for this.
Looking down, Rubens found that his attack had no effect at all, and the opponent was safely hiding in a spherical shield, without even changing his posture.
Barty stood there at this time, the countless magic crystals in the carapace on his back emitting colorful light, and this scene confirmed everyone's guess: his body was actually an alternative magic circle.
Kardashian, Iskal, and Stica's spell attacks continued to explode on the surface of the shield, and the three of them used all the tricks at the bottom of the box at this time, and the entire sky was lit up by the light of the continuous explosion. However, apart from making the shield tremble, Barty didn't take any damage at all.
If it was just a shield that relied on those magic crystals to cast, this kind of defense was not reasonable at all, but several dragons, who were top spellcasters, quickly felt the familiar aura on the surface of the shield...
"Damn, this can't be the 'Divine Domain' too, right?!"
Obviously, if it was only below the demigod level, even the dragon lord in front of him would not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the five of them. Only gods who surpass demigods and have the ability to make rules can inflict a "forbidden demon" effect in a certain area - the same as the "Divine Domain" summoned by Panda a few hours ago!
Their elemental attacks do not explode the moment they touch the shield, but are simply neutralized. Rubens' claw strikes and bites are even more flawless, as he is immune to almost all attacks when protected from God's Domain.
The five dragons were helpless in the face of the demons in front of them. But the other party's chanting of spells never stopped, Kardashian stopped casting, looked around, and suddenly found that the wood elves who had been climbing were being pulled by a strange force...
The reason why I say "pulling" is because these wood elves did not want to come over by themselves, and there were many corpses of wood elves on the ground that they had just killed, and they were all rolling towards Barty's location as if they were being blown by the wind. And those living wood elves, many of them were dragged down from the edge of the platform and above, and after landing, they still wanted to resist this force, but whether they grabbed the trunk of the tree on the ground or tried to lower their bodies, they were finally dragged by the powerful suction...
As soon as the wood elves touched the shield beside Barty, they split into a piece of minced flesh with a "snort" sound. Their bodies were crushed by invisible power in an instant, and the hedron left in their chests shimmered and stuck to the shield—in just a dozen seconds, hundreds of hedrons were attached to it, and Barty inside the shield shone brighter and brighter.
"He's offering sacrifices! Stop those sacrifices!"
With the help of the system, Luo Di immediately recognized the form of the other party's spell. Speaking of the skill "Sacrifice", Roddy actually has it himself, but he has only used it once when facing an ancient beast. And when it was confirmed that the other party would "sacrifice", Roddy immediately confirmed another thing: behind Barty, it was not as simple as a "demon", but indeed involved a certain god.
This is because only believers make "sacrifices" for the gods they worship.
Before that, no one had ever thought that "demons" also had gods to believe in, but after hearing Roddy's shout, Kardashian and the others certainly understood that this was not a good thing. However, their shield attacks were ineffective, and they had to stop the approaching Wood Elves.
In a flickering light, frost spells, earth power, vines, flames, and walls of crystal magically trapped the Wood Elves in place. Because the noise was so loud and the impact of the explosion was so violent, everyone present did not pay attention to the roar overhead.
The dragons are desperately trying to stop the other wood elves, and this method really hinders Barty's spell casting process... In the end, as if realizing that he could not gather all the wood elves in front of him, Barty in the light stopped chanting the incantation, and with a roar, the shield originally composed of the divine domain instantly collapsed inward, and Barty's figure slowly stood up in the smoke of the elemental martyrdom.
This time, his changes were beyond the imagination of the dragons.
The pieces of magic crystals that had just been quickly absorbed in the "sacrifice" disappeared along with the original ones on his back. All the power seems to have been given to the unknown god in this sacrificial ritual.
Barty's body silhouette still looks like some kind of mutated orangutan, but the gods' feedback has directly raised his height to about fifteen meters, and at the same time, the back of his body is carrying a large number of dense tentacles!
The new dark red scales and bone spurs shone in the light of illumination, and most importantly... He seemed to have recovered his consciousness from his original "puppet" state, and was looking down at his hands in surprise.
"It's... That's what I want..."
Barty felt the surging power in his body, and his body was already twice as tall as the platform where Roddy was next to him, because of the presence of countless tentacles, the volume was even much larger than Rubens.
He turned his head to see DeWitt and the others on the platform with terrified faces, but Barty wasn't interested in cleaning up the reptiles right now. He lifted his right arm and looked to his side—the former Wood Elf village chief found himself able to control tentacles like fingers...
The outstretched tentacles quickly wrapped around a giant tree on the ground, and as Barty clenched his right fist, the trunk of the five people hugged made a seeping "rattle" sound under the twisting of the tentacles.
The giant tree was wrung out of the juice by him like a rag, and the tentacles loosened, and it became a pile of cracked fibers on the ground.
"Ha, haha..."
He suddenly began to laugh maniacally. The long-desired "power" finally came to an end, causing Barty to ignore even the five dragons around him, where he was venting his emotions.
However, the dragons were not interested in seeing him behave, and Rubens raised his hand to directly cause the ground under Barty's feet to collapse for a while, and slammed into the opponent as he lost his center of gravity!
