Chapter 278: The Crown of Thorns
It must be said that humans are extremely creative creatures, and they received the seed of power from the gods, and today, this seed has grown into a towering tree.
Even if Barbatos was a demon, he had to marvel at the immortal curse that Andy was carrying, and what a terrible and glorious achievement it was to allow a person's body to be immortalized in decay?
But despite marveling at Andy's curse, Barbatos had no other ideas, and all he had to do now was to get rid of these four damn guys as punishment for offending him.
To give up being a servant of the great demon Barbatos is to have the consciousness of death.
If it weren't for the fact that his strength was too badly depleted by waking up early, Barbatos would have had a lot of confidence that he would be able to use his physical strength to finish out these guys, but now...... It's all about curses.
There is also a price to be paid for the demon to release the curse, which is the rule that must be followed by the curse contract.
Barbatos' current power comes from the flesh and soul of humans it has absorbed over the years, and that's what it consumes to unleash the curse, which is equivalent to using others as sacrifices to complete its curse.
"You look like you're under the same curse...... Is it because they are afraid of death, so they will pay a huge price to protect themselves with this curse?"
Barbatos stared at Olivia, his tone sarcastic, but then seductive.
"How about I give you eternal life, give you strength, and be my servant?"
Olivia didn't answer, she knew very well what a demon was, giving herself eternal life, even if it was a god, there was a price to pay for wanting others to live forever.
When the soul becomes someone else's hand, and it becomes its servant, is it not up to it to have the final say?
Demons are the ones who love to deceive people, and even forge contracts.
Barbatos didn't care about Olivia's expression, its snake-like pupils twitched a few times, and he grinned at the sight of Jack and Sully, who were trying to open the stone wall.
"Greedy humans, do you still think about treasure in the face of death?"
Barbatos didn't know that the Demon Warlock had placed the Crown of Thorns in his collection in order to deal with it, of course, even if it knew, it wouldn't care, because the Crown of Thorns alone wouldn't kill it, it would only limit its power and protect the guys from being tortured to death by it.
What it didn't know was that the Demon Warlock had discovered its true identity in ancient texts and ruins, and had learned its true name when King Solomon summoned it!
The demon who once fought the Seraphic Seraphim, Barbatos, one of the Seventy-Two Pillars of Solomon.
Because there were no traces of the immortal curse on Jack and Sully, Barbatos didn't care much about the two of them, he was not afraid of any attack from humans other than those with divine powers, and he intended to end their lives with the most terrible curse in the eyes of Andy and the others in surprise, surprise, puzzlement, and fear.
Just as Barbatos was about to recite the incantation, the stone wall was opened by Jack and Sully, and after a smell of decay, Jack saw the crown of thorns on the only stone table in the collection room at a glance!
There was nothing else on the stone table, except for a crown made of thorny rattans, which looked like a child's work, but it was impossible to ignore the blood on the thorns at the top of the crown.
It was like blood that had just been sprinkled, and it exuded a warm smell.
And Barbatos's gaze also fell there.
The crown of thorns had an aura of disgust and fear on it, so when the stone wall was opened, Barbatos's gaze subconsciously fell on it.
"Is it the Crown of Thorns?~ My servant, it seems that you are afraid, afraid?"
A cold madness flashed in Barbatos' eyes, its so-called servant was the demon warlock, the wizard who had obtained demonic power from it, and he gave his soul to himself, but at that time Barbatos was still asleep, and the contract they signed could only be taken out of the abyss when Barbatos was stronger.
"But...... What if you only have the crown of thorns, and you know, the seraphs can't kill me......"
Barbatos thought proudly, but it still sensed a kind of danger, because the Crown of Thorns was one of the few holy objects that could completely destroy a demon, which was stained with the blood of God, and was a deadly poison to the demon.
After Jack opened the stone wall, without any hesitation, he stepped in and grabbed the crown of thorns on the table, the thorny thorns pierced his skin, and the blood flowed on the crown of thorns, but he fell down without any contamination.
Only the blood of God is qualified to remain on it.
"Andy, come on!"
Jack yelled and threw the crown at Andy.
Barbatos ducked aside in disgust, not wanting the thing to touch him, or it would be in great pain.
Andy felt a tingling sensation all over his body when the Crown of Thorns flew in, he hadn't felt pain for a long time before, but he felt it many times today, and the divine power was not a good thing for him.
After catching the Crown of Thorns, Andy felt as if he was about to die, the fiery divine power made him feel the pain of his flesh being burned, his hands squeaked, and Andy also showed a rare look of pain.
"Damn it!"
Andy cursed and threw himself at Barbatos to the side.
Barbatos, who is half-human, is also nimble, and when he sees Andy coming, he dodges away with a look of disgust and horror, but before he can take a few steps, he is held down by Jack, who is rushing over.
Jack's flesh began to show a large number of dark spots when it touched Barbatos's skin, and began to spread and fester.
"Hurry up! Oh shit, what's on this shit? It feels worse than the corrosive barnacles on David Jones' big octopus!"
Andy threw the numbing pain in his hand, clutched the crown, and slammed it into Barbatos' head.
"Wow~uh~"
Jack and Andy ducked to the side, Barbatos kicking on all four legs and covering his head with his hands.
The blood of the crown of thorns fell on its head, and the thorns grew wildly, piercing its skin so hard that Barbatos could not take it off, no matter how hard he tried.
The divine power in his blood seemed to scorch Barbatos to ashes, and a dark light burst out from it, carrying endless evil and darkness, Barbatos slowly transformed into a mist, and the Crown of Thorns still floated in the mist.
"Damn! I'll make you pay!"
Ask for a ticket.,Tomorrow will completely end the volume of the Sacred Sea.,The next volume will be the magnificent Central Sea chapter~.
