Chapter 227: Thirteen
The pieces of flesh that once constituted the horses were poured into neat rings, and apart from the main ring, Lothar found other patterns and patterns on the ground after carrying them. Without exception, the lines extend from the main body of the ring, meandering and spreading like the branches and leaves of a tree, forming three faintly recognizable but inextricably linked figures. Cheese stood on one of the three figures, and finally looked at the pattern he had drawn where there might be hidden dangers, the urgency of the situation was not a reason to act blindly, and the more times like this, the more caution and caution were needed.
Finally, after repeatedly confirming the integrity of the circle, the mage nodded, he looked up at his companion waiting for instructions, and reached out to the other of the three figures, "You stand in that circle over there." Lothar, put your axe away from the pattern on the ground, I don't want to ruin my work because it has been scratched by a witch hunting knife. ”
The Count shrugged, stuck his tomahawk in place, and walked up to the ring that the grey robe was pointing to, without even asking Cheese what the ring was for. You must know that it is not impossible to put it on other spellcasters, and use this kind of magic circle to sacrifice others other than yourself in exchange for life. However, everyone present knew that Cheese would not do that kind of thing, he was a proud gray robe, nothing would make him have to give up his companions, and when some people reassured themselves that there was no way, the mage would choose to find a better path, and he had been doing it.
"You'd better hurry, that thing is getting closer to us. The cat fairy followed into the circle and glanced at Aleiel in the distance. As a goblin, Kairas knew the way of doing things for human spellcasters, and he would tell them not to believe a word that came out of the caster's mouth, no matter who he was dealing with. Until the appearance of Cheese, he was a little different, he knew how to think about others.
The other two, of course, did not hesitate. Even though Atta had had a brief encounter with the caster during her previous trip, the girl who saw the world with kindness still hadn't set up a complete security system for herself, and she didn't know how to guard against others or why she did it. As for Batu, the one who has eaten the flesh and blood of his war horse is a brother who can be entrusted with life and death, and there is nothing to doubt or worry about. He understood what Aleigh was, and because of this, he had been so desperate that he wanted to meet death without resistance, but now, that thought was long gone.
As his companions entered the circle, Cheese was no longer silent, his hands began to wave in the air in a certain rhythm, and a sound that seemed to be chanting came from his mouth, and even with his eyes closed, the glow of magic shone through the cracks in his eyelids. And as he snorted, the flesh in the circle in the center of the circle began to tremble, as if they had the illusion that they were still alive. The blood, flowing along the disembodied veins, rose from the pit and into the ditch where the circle was formed on the ground, making the atmosphere eerie. The smell of blood began to permeate, gradually bringing out a faint smell of sulfur.
The Earl blinked, he was sensitive to the smell of sulfur, which had been stressed by the demons of the Great Battle of Vale six years ago, and he instinctively began to search around for traces of the abominable presence. Of course, he didn't find anything, because the demon was just about to appear. The pieces of flesh that had piled up and trembled began to grow that should not have been done again, some were hairs, some were teeth or claws, and even some of the flesh had tentacles and carapaces that only insects would have. The few people who witnessed such a scene quickly understood what Cheese was going to do.
"Is that really good? I know a lot of wizards have this ability, but—" But those pieces of meat were Batuu's horses after all, and Atta didn't finish his words, as the falconer himself raised his hand to signal that she didn't have to say any more. Batuu, who did not speak, but there was not the slightest waver in the expression on his face, and the fact that the cheese ate the horse meat he handed him was enough to explain that it was all about it.
The grotesque sights in the pit continued, the pieces of flesh expanding further after developing their first features, only slowly, apparently because the piece of horse meat that was the core was too small. So how can you increase the speed? The limbs sticking out of the larger pieces of flesh grab the smaller ones and force the latter to come closer to themselves, blend in, and become one. In this cruel way, they are able to stretch out more limbs. Soon there was no more than just a pile of flesh and blood in the pit, and as the smell of sulfur became stronger, thirteen demons were summoned here.
"Babble!" An indecipherable sound poured out of the demons' mouths, and the members of the team could feel the anger of the demons without knowing anything about them. Why are they angry?
"I know you think I've lied to you. Cheese's voice was a little hoarse, and the long spell had put a burden on his throat, "But at the end of the day, you're like a fish lured by bait, and you don't think twice about jumping on the hook when you smell something fishy." Well, it's okay to be caught, isn't it?"
"You, yes, regret it!" roared at the mage with the strongest sulfur smell of the thirteen demons, its slender torso asymmetrically covered with double-digit arms, each of which was topped by a clawed and weapon-held palm, but the number and thickness of the fingers on those palms were not uniform. As for the regret it says, it naturally refers to the fact that Cheese deceived the demons, and the demons do not die in this world, and their dissipation here only means that they return to the place where they came. Therefore, the hatred of the devil can last for a long time, and deceiving the devil for a while is a dangerous act that will bring disaster to future generations. And most wizards who do so can't wait for future generations to pay their debts, and angry demons can always use their little-used heads to find the omissions in the summoning and kill their summoners.
The question is, after Cheese's own study and reference to his peers, especially the curse crows who are proficient in this way, is it really possible for these demons to find loopholes? The magic circle symbolizing control in the three magic circles trembled slightly, and the demons were full of unwillingness, but they still knelt on the ground to show their submission to the mage who summoned them. Cheese nodded, and he casually pointed at four of the thirteen demons, and the four immediately jumped out of the pit and fled into the distance without looking back. As for the remaining nine, they were not so lucky, and the gray robe pointed at Aleie in the distance, even if there were 100,000 reluctance, under the pressure of the control circle, these demons could only jump out of the pit and face the approaching natural disaster.
"Okay, so we'll have more time to do other things. ”
