The clouds gathered more and more, and gradually filled the sky. And it gets thicker and thicker, as if it is pressing towards the ground in the sky, and it feels like the sky is about to fall down, crushing everything on the ground.

The inhabitants of Raccoon Town were terrified, slumped on the ground and shivered, even the two young men who had been educated as occultists - they were not even as good as the others, the others were just trembling with fear, but they had even begun to foam at the mouth and dig at their facial features with their hands. If it weren't for the pandas and others who found out quickly and tied them up in time, I was afraid that they would be able to pick out their facial features and die miserably.

The traversers were the only people standing at the festival venue, frowning and looking at the sky.

"It's a boss coming!" said Redding, the lionman, "and it looks mighty." ”

"It's not mighty, woo, you only know until you fight!" said the wolf orc Corainne unconvinced.

The panda's brows tightened, and he felt as if he had seen the scene in front of him somewhere.

The sky was dark and cloudy, and the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, as if they were going to crush everything on the ground......

Suddenly, an electric light flashed in his heart, and it rang.

Isn't this the "dream within a dream" I had before!

But he didn't become relaxed because of this sudden realization, but was shocked.

Why did I foresee the scene that is happening now in my dream in advance?

At this moment, he heard more than one person exclaim, "Isn't this what I dreamed of!"

The panda looked down, and all the people who let out an exclamation were people with high perception attributes.

He was slightly stunned, vaguely guessing a few points.

"This guy has been around the place. Alfien, perhaps the last full-fledged folklorist in the world, replied, "but for a long time he had been in an 'unmanifested' state, with little effect on the human world. That's why I haven't told you about it. ”

"Wait, can you feel His presence?" Panda asked in surprise.

"Of course, I'm a folklorist, so I have to be able to sense the existence of various 'anomalies' before I can negotiate or fight. ”

"That'...... You understand what this ritual is all about?"

Alfiin sighed: "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand." ”

She looked at her companions, whose faces were covered in the words "I'm curious" and whose eyes were almost sparkling, and explained, "Actually, Raccoon Town isn't really able to resist pollution with just a few spells. In the world of folklorists, if you can't borrow power from a being, then a spell has no power. In other words, the force that Raccoon Town uses to fend off pollution is this ...... How can I call it 'Fallen Cloud' - Raccoon Town's power against pollution is its power. ”

"In other words, this celebration is actually a sacrifice to it?" asked the panda.

"That's right, it is also an evil god after all, and if you want to use its power, of course you need to sacrifice. Alfien nodded, "The reason why the festival is held regularly is actually to borrow its power through sacrifices to consolidate the effect of resisting pollution. ”

She paused, looked at the venue carefully, and added, "In the process of sacrifice, not all of the 'power' generated will be taken away by this 'fallen cloud', and some of it will overflow. These spilled forces can first purify the land, and secondly, they can enhance people's physical fitness – hence the layout of the venue. ”

The panda nodded slightly, finally understood.

"That's not right!" Kazune asked, "Because of us, Raccoon Town's resistance to pollution has increased considerably. Even without the power of the 'falling cloud', it can resist pollution and allow residents to live safely. Why did the village chief hold a sacrifice at this time?"

Alfien smiled, his smile full of mockery: "Because he can't help himself." The power of the Fallen Cloud is not so easy to borrow, and if you borrow power, you have to keep the contract. The content of the covenant must have included regular sacrifices. ”

She looked at the village chief's mangled body lying on the ground, shook her head, and said, "I originally thought that he would be able to exert abilities beyond his own level by the effect of study and special practice, but now it seems that he is not at all. It was only with the power of the Fallen Cloud that he was able to perform rituals that were beyond his own capabilities. ”

"So now that the village chief has been hacked to death by us, and the ritual has failed, what should we do next?" Xingzhao asked.

"What else can I do?" Alfiin sighed, "Someone broke into the place where the sacrifice was made to you, destroyed the sacrifice, and killed your priest. What would you do if you were a 'fallen cloud'?"

Panda laughed: "That's easy, this is exactly what we're good at!"

The traversers also burst into laughter, gossiping and talking.

"After saying so much, isn't it still a monster!"

"I don't understand the reason, anyway, just kill that 'falling cloud', right?"

"I love this choice!"

"Seconded!"

“+１！”

“+２３３！”

Some people also sighed: "If you think about it carefully, this 'falling cloud' is also quite weak, not to mention the benefits in hand, and we will be hacked to death by us......"

"What's the matter? do you sympathize with it?" asked the man next to him, wide-eyed, "when did you get sick with the Virgin?"

"No, I mean, the boss who sent it to the door like this, please give me three or five groups, and stand in line in turn, I like this situation so much!"

So everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere was very happy.

The inhabitants of Raccoon Town were completely unable to comprehend the sudden relaxed atmosphere and high emotions of the traversers, and their eyes widened with confusion.

The panda asked Sean, who rushed to the stage, to help the girl who almost became a sacrifice down, and at the same time kicked the four young people on the stage who were helping to perform the sacrifice to the stage like lightning, and then pulled out a sacred dagger and pointed it at the slowly falling sky.

"In my dream, I incarnated as Pangu to cut you, I don't know this technique in reality, maybe I want to disappoint you. But don't be too disappointed, try this trick!"

The dagger in his hand suddenly lit up, becoming as brilliant as gold in the sun, and then he bowed his body slightly, and with all his strength, he threw the divine dagger that had become bright into the sky.

"Say hello and welcome!"
