Chapter 16: Are You Sure?

And the presiding officer of the summoning ceremony, because of the position, will have a greater probability of being chosen by the demon - whether it is eaten or chosen.

Of course, the presiding officer of the ceremony still has the possibility of being spared, unlike the sacrifice, which is depicted with a summoning pattern, and there are only two options: death or signing a contract.

Joyce had never had any problems presiding over ceremonies before, as he had never succeeded in carving a true summoning pattern.

It's also interesting to say, because Trandon forcibly wrote down the relationship between the patterns, and some of them went wrong, and the result was wrong, and that pattern was the pattern used in the summoning ritual that really had a chance of success—yes, there was a probability of success, not a certainty of success.

There are one reasons for whether it can succeed or not, one is whether the summoning ceremony and the power of the contract can be transmitted to hell, and the other is whether the demon will choose to respond.

As for those sacrifices, it is irrevocable that part of the soul is consumed to open the passage for the demons to pass through, and the other part is food for the demons.

The only thing that can be changed is the probability of being eaten by demons.

According to Arnold, although the demon's hobby is to devour souls, he is also extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and if everyone's souls are similar and there is nothing to attract the attention of the demon, the smell of blood is an important choice mark.

It's as if people have just woken up in a daze and have two plates of food in front of them for him to eat, and when both dishes are similar, they will instinctively choose to eat the plate that smells better.

Therefore, among those sacrifices, the rulers of the island, the materials of the patterns on their bodies were mixed with blood, so that these people could not escape the fate of being eaten by the demons casually.

As for Joyce, the demon fanatic, he didn't become a sacrifice - neither Sumo nor Tlandon could give him any chance to fight back, although Joyce had always been quite cooperative.

However, the nobles of Trandon had a plot and decided to let Joyce see the ritual of summoning demons before he died, which was considered to be the fulfillment of his wish before he died.

In Trandon's words, this is the mercy of the strong and the superior for the weak. Even if it is an enemy, it is the pride and bearing of the nobility to fulfill their wishes before death if they can.

Su Mo naturally gave negative marks to this forced pretend, but he didn't bother to interfere, and let Trandon realize his aristocratic pride and bearing. With Joyce's three-legged cat skills, he and Arnold will definitely not be able to make any waves.

"Whew-"

With a long breath, Lady Lisy walked to the middle of the summoning array and began to chant a complex spell that was completely incomprehensible - it was provided by Joyce.

According to his words, it is sure to increase the success rate.

Of course, Trandon was skeptical, he didn't recite any spells at all, he just drew a summoning array out of dirt and blood, and then succeeded in summoning the demon and completing the contract.

It's just that he didn't choose to stop Lady Liz from doing this, what if it really worked?

While reciting a spell she didn't understand, she crouched down and finished the final strokes of the summoning array, and Lady Liss stood up again and closed her eyes.

The person who completes the summoning array is the presiding officer of the summoning ceremony.

From now on, everything that happens is out of Lady Lise's control, and everything will be left to fate.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Mrs. Lisy felt a sudden tightness and pain in her waist, as if she was tied by an invisible rope, and her body suddenly soared into the air, and then she fell out of the summoning array.

The moment she flew out, a black glow emanated from the pattern of the summoning array.

"You can interfere directly." Su Mo, who was next to the summoning array diagram, flicked his fingers and said secretly in his heart.

Mrs. Lisi suddenly flew out of the summoning array, but it was not the power of this summoning ceremony, but Su Mo continued to refine the concentric locks, forming a thin line that was almost invisible, like the thickness of a fishing line, and pulled it out.

Su Mo did not object to Tlandon's behavior of letting Lady Liz preside over the summoning ceremony and let fate decide her life and death. But this does not mean that Su Mo will not interfere in any way.

Pulling Mrs. Lisy out of the formation diagram when she finished it was something that Su Mo had decided to try from the beginning.

Of course, if there is no way for outsiders to interfere with the formation when the formation is completed, then wait and see what happens.

Lady Lisy was neither eaten nor became a demon master, which is the best-case scenario.

If Lady Liz becomes the owner of the demon, then Su Mo will kill her at the first time and will not give her any chance to fight back.

The demon cannot be killed, but it is undoubtedly not difficult to kill its master, directly end the contract, and let the demon return to hell. For Su Mo, who has modern firearms, it is a fairly easy thing to do.

Raise your hand, pull the trigger, it's that simple.

Unless the demons were close enough to catch a bullet in an instant, which was impossible in Arnold's case. Or, the demon directly uses his body as a meat shield in front of his master.

However, Su Mo's firearm is not a flintlock pistol with a loud sound in this world, and the deterrent effect is far greater than the actual power, and there is no big problem in penetrating the demon's body.

Lady Lis, who was aware of the life she had picked up, did not linger too long, and after a short moment of confusion, despite the pain in her body, she got up and stood diagonally behind Tlandon, firstly to show her submission and secondly, she felt that this position was the safest.

The black light had already enveloped the entire summoning array and everyone inside, like a huge curtain.

Including the demon Arnold, he couldn't see what was going on inside.

Su Mo tried to kick out a small stone, but was blocked by the light curtain.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for the results." Su Mo said to Trandon.

"If it's not one of us, kill him as soon as possible." Trandon gave the order callously.

Su Mo nodded, in fact, even if Tlandon didn't say it, he would do it.

Arnold next to him moved his hands and feet, and the tight clothes were almost torn, but fortunately this was not real clothes, otherwise they would have been broken.

However, Su Mo has changed into a black dress of this world, and he looks like he is in charge of a few things.

As time passed, the light curtain began to disappear, and the figures inside could be faintly seen.

"Huh?" Arnold over there let out a puzzled sound.

As a demon, of course, his eyesight was much better than that of humans, and when the scene in front of the others was still hazy, he saw that there were a full eight figures in the light curtain.

Seven of them were about the size of an adult, and the other looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

"It is! It turned out to be this demon! ”

Before the light curtain could completely dissipate, Joyce suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What is this demon?" Trandon turned to look at Joyce, who looked like a sheep.

"This demon is called the Seven Sins! It's clearly documented! ”

Joyce said in an excited tone, "He's the same demon that once appeared. Different from ordinary demons, this demon will directly appear in seven human forms when it comes to the world, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, lust, and gluttony, representing the seven original sins of human beings! The most terrible demon of all! ”

"How scary?" Tlandon looked at Joyce and frowned.

Judging from the description of Joyce, a demon expert, the demon summoned this time will be much more powerful than his "Sebas" and Arnold.

"You know, the demons we see now remain in human form, not what they really are at all. Maintaining the human form, the demon's power will also be reduced, and once the demon releases its original form, it will be countless times stronger than their human form. Joyce stared at Trandon with a burning gaze, "And the demonic power of the Seven Sins is too strong, so strong that a human form is simply not enough to contain his terrifying power, and he must take on seven postures to barely disperse his power!" ”

Trandon's eyes narrowed, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

That demon called the "Seven Sins" is really powerful to this extent, right?

Only by dividing the power into seven points can you maintain the human posture, then...... His strength is at least seven times that of ordinary demons, and at least seven times that of Arno and Sebas (Su Mo).

"Quick! Sebas......" Trandon immediately turned his head and wanted to give Su Mo an order.

It's just that the follow-up order was not said, and the place where Su Mo was standing was already empty, and then slightly deceived his gaze, and Trandon saw Su Mo sitting on top of the "crowd pile", and next to him was Arnold with a disdainful face.

"Seven sins? Are you sure these guys are going to be powerful demons? Su Mo jumped off the pile of seven people stacked on top of each other and looked at Joyce, who was stunned.

When Joyce was suddenly excited, when he began to tell that the Seven Sins were powerful, Su Mo and Arnold had already rushed towards the demon that was divided into seven.

Joyce's words, Su Mo and Arnold could not have fully believed it.

Whether this special demon that was summoned was as powerful as Joyce said, naturally he had to try it himself to find out.

As for the result, Su Mo directly punched the guy standing in front and knocked the three people behind. Arnold opened his arms and "tied" the other three people into a ball and threw them out.

Before the four guys who had time to stand up could figure out what was going on, there were three more of the same unlucky guys.

The man who was crushed at the bottom let out a cry of pain. The guy at the top wanted to get up, but he was stomped on his back by Su Mo, who jumped up.

Then, as Su Mo sat down, the seven guys suddenly became extremely quiet.
