Chapter 44: The Ritual of Demonic Worship

Like a cold wind blowing, he smiled, "What's the use of recognizing me? Originally, I had planned to kill you and cut off all clues, but you accepted the mission and went to the vast ice field, and it was difficult to determine your location, so it was delayed until now. ”

Without waiting for Yakov to answer, he laughed and said: "If you want to resent your Yakov boss, if he hadn't been involved in this matter, you should have enjoyed life well, now, even if you don't know anything, I won't let you go, cry, tremble, despair, and enjoy the last period of life!"

After the arrogant laughter, the outside of the cell became quiet again, and there was no movement, even if Yakov and the others insulted, ridiculed, and begged for permission, there was no response.

“...... I'm going to get out of the way, and one day I'm going to screw off all your heads and throw them to feed the ice bears!" Yakov didn't stammered a little shyly at this time, and gave full play to the warrior's "taunting" role, but gradually, only his voice was left in the entire cell, and the mercenaries who had cooperated with him before became quiet and silent.

After being looked at by a few strange glances, Yakov stopped "taunting" and looked around at the mercenaries who were unable to lean against the cell, and saw several pairs of cold and slightly hateful eyes.

His heart cooled, and his rough voice became low: "You resent me, resentful that I had involved you in the affairs of Sir Duda?"

"We didn't do anything, but we were caught and could die at any moment. Boss Yakov, do you think we will be unwilling? Will we be aggrieved and angry? At the very least, you want us to know what the Tao is for!" asked Yakov's deputy, Huque, bitterly, although he was still called Boss Yakov, but there was no respect in his tone.

"Why didn't you say you had offended Sir Duda, then I wouldn't have chosen to stay!"

"Bastard, do what you do yourself!"

"Enough! you're enough!" Anna screamed, her voice trembling with rage, "what did you say when Boss Yakov became a knight before? What did you say when he was willing to make us his knightly squires and butlers? Boss Yakov never thought of implicating us. It's just that Duda, this scoundrel is too hateful!"

She was so angry that tears welled up. I really can't accept that the mercenary team, which is usually harmonious and happy, will become like this!

"Is it really like Katrina's sister said, only in the most desperate and dangerous moments can you really see a person's character?" she subconsciously recalled a philosophical sentence that Katrina usually said - this is a sentence made up by Lucien when he applied "the time is the present" to the opera.

Anna's screams and accusations silenced the cell, and then. Yakov's muffled voice sounded: "It doesn't matter if you resent me. But. Is infighting at such times a preparation to give up hope of escape?"

"But there's a big knight ......"

"Sir Duda hasn't made a move yet, he's definitely even more terrifying!"

"There is no hope!"

Yakov said in a calm but firm voice: "Only after trying will you know if there is a chance to escape." Sir Duda's previous remarks were clearly intended to provoke us. I want to see the infighting in our despair and the ugliness of humanity in our hearts, and as far as I know, he likes to appreciate the despair and pain of others, so even if he dies, I will not let him be proud, do you want to die in the midst of his ridicule?"

"Well said!" said Sir Duda with a smile as he burst out outside the cell, "Yakov, I remember that there is a very beautiful lady in your ranks, prettier than most of the noble ladies, and you seem to like her very much?"

"What are you going to do?" Yakov gripped the iron railing with both hands.

Anna said angrily and fearfully, "It's nothing to do with Sister Katrina! she only joined us halfway through, and she doesn't know anything!"

"I like to destroy the 'things' they like a little bit in front of others, appreciating their expressions and reactions, and that's reason enough. Duda's laughter grew wilder when he saw Yakov and Anna's violent reactions, "Two adult werewolves have gone to get her, they are both strong, maybe she won't be able to stand it, hahaha." ”

"Bastard!" Yakov shook the iron cage into a clatter, his eyes bloodshot.

Anna shook her head in horror: "You are a demon, you are a real demon!"

Legend has it that demons love to kill and destroy the most.

"This is the greatest compliment for me. Duda was not at all annoyed by the insult, but was very proud, and then, with a smile, "By the way, I am in a good mood, so I have decided to advance your death time until now, so that you will not have a chance to escape." ”

Hearing this, the blood on the faces of the mercenaries faded, and the morale that had just been boosted by Yakov completely turned into despair.

............

The Shahran Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and the manors here are much larger than those around Lrentat, especially the quiet manors that seem to melt into the darkness in front of you.

"Sir Duda's estate has arrived. "On top of an evergreen tree, Viscount Calendia, in a black shirt and red coat, stood at the tip of the branch as if it had no weight, and the black cloak behind him swayed gently as the branch swayed up and down.

Katrina floated next to him, didn't say anything, and with a movement of mental power, a black and white vertical eye appeared in front of him, and the pupils of this eye were all composed of black magic patterns, which looked mysterious and weird.

She followed the magician's rules of action and tried not to engage in unprepared combat.

"Arcane Eyes?" Viscount Calendia looked sideways, and several illusory bats fluttered out of his body, sneaking into the manor with the "Arcane Eyes".

After a while, most of the scenes in the manor were displayed in their "eyes", such as open posts and secret posts, traps and ambushes, the number of enemies, their distribution, and their approximate strength.

"There are several places that are surrounded by mysterious forces that must be approached to detect what's going on inside. "Katrina never talked nonsense when she fought. Concisely explained to Viscount Calendia, and then, his body gradually became transparent and disappeared into the night sky.

"The guys patrolling and guarding outside can't detect ......us at all," Viscount Calendia said lazily and casually, his body slowly melting into the darkness, "By the way, be careful of the savage werewolf's sense of smell." ”

Those defenders and the most knight and priest levels were like paper paste in front of the two powerhouses who were close to the high rank, but it was a few wandering adult werewolves that made them even more vigilant.

The two soon entered the manor. Walking among a group of puppets, I came to one of the places surrounded by mysterious powers. The hall of the main house of the manor!

The faint fluctuations flickered, and Katrina used the "Spell Silence" technique to cast the "Secret Eye" again, allowing it to burrow through the gap into the main house.

............

An altar made of unknown materials appeared in the eyes of Yakov, Anna and others, and weapons such as swords and daggers were randomly placed on the ground.

The altar is pitch black. Hideous faces are carved on all sides. They have two horns on their heads. The face is distorted, teeth bulge out, and red blood is constantly dripping.

After the blood fell on a circle of complex runes at the bottom of the altar. A faint mist of blood rose up, emitting a bloody but sweet fragrance.

In the middle of the altar, a vague-looking humanoid statue was carved, but on its forehead were two pointed demon horns.

Its red eyes look very strange against the overall blackness, as if a glance at it will lead to a strong hatred rising in the depths of its heart, full of desire to kill and destroy everything.

Yakov, Anna and the others staggered to the open space in front of the altar, saw the dark statue, inhaled the sweet smell of blood, and faintly felt restlessness in the depths of their hearts.

Duda, who looked gloomy and arrogant even with his beard, smiled cruelly: "There are long swords, short swords, and daggers on the ground, these are your weapons, and your enemies are your companions, and whoever survives the last will let him go." ”

"Hmph, who would believe you, this demon-worshipping chaotic one!" Anna snorted, but she also quietly stepped on a dagger, after all, you need a weapon to escape.

Duda clapped his palms, and out of the corner came a sharp-toothed werewolf and a knight with a steady pace.

He laughed and said, "You can choose not to believe my words, but in that case, your opponent will be them, a total of twelve knight-level powerhouses, oh, one of them is a big knight, do you think the hope of defeating them is great, or is the possibility of my promise to be effective?"

Yakov looked at a middle-aged man with a two-handed giant sword, and his heart slowly sank, this is the great knight who captured him alive, also the blood of the "Frost Giant", but completely and completely crushed himself.

Can you defeat them and escape?" When Yakov and Anna couldn't help but feel a trace of despair, the other mercenaries were even more unbearable, and someone said in a trembling voice: "Sir Duda, Yakov is a knight, and all of us combined can't beat it!"

"Huck!" Anna glared at the deputy leader of the mercenary team.

Yakov's face turned slightly pale, and one of his best brothers was going to kill him in exchange for the hope of surviving?

"Don't worry, Yakov's bloodline power has been imprisoned by me, and he only has the strength of a high-ranking knight's squire. Duda smiled.

The faint blood mist is getting thicker and thicker, and many mercenaries have a bloodthirsty light in their eyes, yes, it was Yakov who caused himself to fall into this situation, and you can be relieved by killing him!

"Yakov, it's all your fault, if you feel guilty, don't resist and give us hope of living. Huck gasped and picked up a long sword.

With a clanging sound, the rest of the mercenaries also took up their weapons.

"No!" Anna shook her head and screamed in despair and desolation at the sight of their ugly performance.

Yakov looked at the mercenaries standing opposite him and fell into an unspeakable silence.

"Yakov, don't think about being a good person, if you don't survive, then I'll give Lady Katrina to my werewolf friends, they like such beautiful girls the most. "Duda added fuel to the fire.

Yakov made a holistic sound in his throat and picked up a long sword with difficulty.

A satisfied smile appeared on Duda's face, and the statue on the altar seemed to be a little clearer.

............

"Actually, I don't think those brainless werewolves know how to appreciate beautiful faces, for them, even females. Viscount Calendia leisurely retorted to Duda's words.

Katrina suppressed her anger and blessed herself with a mechanical mind, and said with cold and indifferent eyes: "It seems that Duda is the presiding officer of the demon worship ceremony, as long as you catch him, you can find clues." ”

"Well, there are no other strong people around, just two great knights. Viscount Calendia straightened his bow tie as if he were going to a banquet.

............

Anna shed tears of pain and despair, clenched her short sword in both hands, intent on fighting to the death.

Her mind was slightly dizzy from the smell of blood, and she seemed to be unable to control her hatred, and wanted to kill all the ugly ones.

Duda took a few steps back and stood in front of a door painted with strange patterns, then raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "The feast of killing and betrayal begins!"

A layer of blood light flashed from his body, and the lost strength of Anna and the other mercenaries quickly returned.

Anna raised her dagger and swung it at Huck in pain and hesitation.

No, can't kill each other!

Kill him, he's an abominable traitor!

No, don't!

In her desperate struggle, she suddenly heard a loud bang, and then felt the scorching heat, and the door of the hall was torn apart under a huge fireball!

"Lucien's big fireball?" Duda stared.

Affected by the sound of the explosion, Anna and the others stopped the fight that had not yet begun, and saw a handsome man with blond hair and golden eyes walk in the dark night outside the door, more handsome than any prince she had imagined, and next to him was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, bright and beautiful, and the two walked in like they were attending a ball.

"Sister Katrina?" Anna thought confusedly.

Yakov and others also couldn't believe their eyes.

At this moment, a series of black wolf shadows slammed into the two intruders - the werewolves were the first to react and use the "Evil Shadow Strike" because they smelled the most annoying vampire!

"Shadow Strike" hit Viscount Kalendia and Katrina, and the two shattered like mirrors.

"Huh. A chuckle sounded, and the shattered figures turned into illusory black bats, bringing a strong sense of slumber!

"Groove cake!"

"It's a trap!"

Werewolves fell with heavy eyelids. (To be continued......)
