Chapter 44: Cruel Rituals
Everyone cautiously descended into the forest, and all of them released their minds to probe everything around them.
Suddenly, Eddie raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop, and then said softly: "There is a beginner 2-star magician in front, judging from the breath, it should be a black magician." ”
Eddie's current spiritual power has become extremely powerful because of the white light cluster and magic crystal, so he discovered the magician in advance. And the other party is only a beginner 2 stars, and Eddie can perceive everything about the other party with a sweep.
Everyone was a little surprised, and the young Baker was the first to ask, "Aren't you only a beginner 4-star, can't you lie to us?"
Maika motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said softly, "It's normal, some people are born with extremely great mental power. ”
The crowd nodded in understanding. After all, the rating of stars is not based on the total amount of mental power, but according to the department and proficiency of the magician. If Eddie was a single-line magician, he would definitely be a beginner 6-star by now. And now Eddie has three more series, and the fact that he has not dropped to 3 stars shows that his original strength is strong.
Then Maika said, "Let's sneak up and follow the man, maybe we can follow him to the altar." ”
After that, everyone quietly followed behind the black magician, and with everyone's beginner-level 6-star spiritual power, the black magician didn't notice that someone was following behind him.
The Dark Mage also seems to be a very vigilant person, and has turned back several times to see if he has been followed, after all, the location of the altar is very important.
But the realm of the people who followed him was far beyond him, and he couldn't see anything at all. It is said that if a mid-level mage does not want a no-level mage to see him, even if he stands in front of the other person, the other party will not notice it.
After following the man for nearly an hour, the five of them saw a low wall made of stone, and through the low wall was a strange structure made of several stone pillars, with a high platform in the center, and a staircase leading up on each side.
"That must be the altar, right?" Raymond asked softly, "Are you going to deal with that person first?"
Raymond was eager to try, but Maika said, "Don't startle the snake yet, anyway, a 2-star magician is not even a problem in our eyes." ”
Raymond had no choice but to give up and approach the altar with the others to observe the situation inside.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen black mages in black robes standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the high platform, and the later black mage did not communicate with anyone after entering, but also looked directly at the high platform.
Maika counted the number of people and said, "The four beginner-level 5-star are all here, and there are also eight or nine miscellaneous soldiers, but the leader of the beginner-level 6-star has not yet appeared. ”
"Then let's wait. ”
The group then looked at the altar, and after waiting for about ten minutes, a clod of earth suddenly opened on the right side of the platform. Then out of it came five black-robed low-level black mages, but each of them had one in their hands.
"No! It's not ordinary people, it's all white magicians. Shall we make a move?" said Raymond suddenly.
Maika's expression also changed after seeing it, and he hesitated for a while and said, "Wait!"
Immediately after that, a person walked out from behind the many black mages, who was the leader of the first 6 stars.
Placing the five white mages neatly on the ground, the five black mages walked down the steps into the crowd and turned to look at the high platform.
The leader on the stage looked at the people in the audience, smiled, but made a cold voice: "You have done a good job, we can also sacrifice the blood of five magicians for our great dark god, and the god cult will be proud of you!"
The dozen or so people below immediately shouted excitedly: "Great God of Darkness, Great God of Darkness! "It's all a brainwashed momentum.
The leader above let out a terrible laugh, took out a knife and stabbed the first mage lying on the ground to death.
At this time, the five Eddie were also surprised by the leader's decisiveness, and they all wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Maika.
Maika was also full of resentment, and said, "As a white mage, you must have the consciousness of dying at the hands of a black mage. Didn't you find the barrier near the high platform? not only will we not be able to save them if we rush out now, but their deaths will be meaningless. When they finish their sacrifice and chant the ceremony, then we will rush out to catch them off guard!"
Raymond's fists clenched at this moment, they had also destroyed the Dark Magic Altar before, but they had never been in time for the sacrifice. This time, watching the black magician persecute his compatriots, he will inevitably be angry.
Philip was expressionless, restraining himself from anger. And Baker was also indignant when he saw this scene, and there was no longer that kind of relaxation on his face.
But everyone understands that sacrifice is inevitable in the fight against the dark arts. Besides, if they act rashly and let a few dark mages go, there will be more persecution.
Eddie was also angry at the moment, and he secretly vowed not to let go of any of the dark mages.
His eyes converged on the high platform again, and at this time, the leader of the 6th star had already slit the throat of the second person.
Third, fourth......
The anger of the Eddie Five had risen to the extreme at this time.
The last one, Eddie silently apologized in his heart, this kind of watching his compatriot die at the hands of the dark magician, but he couldn't stop it from making him feel guilty.
Maika patted Eddie on the shoulder, which he also thought was too cruel.
Eddie felt the strength in his shoulder, looked at Mika, and said, "I'll bury them all!"
With that, he continued to look at the altar.
All five people's blood flowed out and then to five thin channels. Along the channel, the blood all converged in the same place.
It was an evil figure, somewhat like a pentagram, but a distorted pentagram with a pair of eyes in the middle of the figure.
Blood flowed to the pentagram, filling the entire eye according to the ravine, and the originally black stone was now stained black by blood. The distorted pentagram was dyed red along with the eyes.
Like opening eyes, those eyes are blood-red. For a moment, evil, gloomy, and horror must not be enough to describe the pair of eyes. The owner of this pair of eyes may be the legendary god of darkness.
Whether gods existed, Eddie didn't know, Mika didn't know, and even Eddie's mom didn't tell him if there were gods in this world.
Only the Cult of the Light and the Cult of Darkness firmly believe in the existence and greatness of the gods.
After his eyes were lit up with blood, the leader shouted an old saying!
The dark mages below also shouted in response at this moment.
Then there was silence inside the altar, everyone closed their eyes, and then everyone was silently saying something.
Eddie knew that they were already beginning the chanting ritual, and that the sacrifice would not be completed until the ritual was complete.
Looking at the crowd with their eyes closed, Eddie couldn't help it, the elements were already surging around their bodies, ready to go.
"Kill!" the five shouted in unison, and then the attack magic in their hands blasted towards the group of low-star black mages at the bottom of the stairs.
