Chapter Ninety-Three: A Song of Ice and Fire
"That's what you said, the magic ritual that can help me break through the bottleneck?" Looking at the white altar in front of her, the corners of Queen Caterina's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry.
At first glance, this altar may seem to be fine, but if you look closely, you will see that there are magic lines underneath it, and you don't know where it leads. Although Caterina is not a magician, as a disciple of the sage Ernst López, she is not ignorant of magic. She only looked at it for a moment, and then she saw through the true face of this altar.
Isn't this just a sacrificial altar? It's just that the sacrificial place is placed somewhere else, and the power obtained from the sacrifice is pulled over with the help of magic patterns.
As soon as Liu Daoqing looked at his wife's expression, he understood that she had seen through the truth, laughed dryly, and said, "This is really useful!"
"I'm sure this will work, but you're not afraid of getting into trouble?" Caterina sighed, "to help me break through to the legendary realm...... What are you going to sacrifice?"
Without waiting for Liu Daoqing to answer, she carefully observed those magic lines, and the more she looked at it, the worse her face became.
"The sacrifice of life, the sacrifice of life...... It's all a sacrifice of life! How many people are you going to kill!"
"Killing isn't really a big deal, is it...... If you kill some people, you can give birth to a legendary powerhouse, who is willing to kill—"
"The sacrifice itself is the biggest problem!" Caterina shook her head, "which demon king is responsible for accepting the sacrifice and bestowing power?"
"There is no demon king. ”
Caterina glanced at Alfien who suddenly came out suspiciously: "If there is no Demon King, who will receive the sacrifice, who will give the power?"
"Power is produced by sacrifice. Alfiin explained, "This magic array is directly transmitted to you the power of sacrifice, without going through any other link in between. ”
Caterina frowned, but her expression was much more softened than before.
The biggest problem with the Blood Sacrifice Method is that it involves the Demon King of Hell, and once the Demon King is involved, it will not be a good thing - this is a well-known truth.
But if the Demon King is not involved, it is just killing. Killing people is naturally not a good thing, but as Liu Daoqing said, if you just kill some people, you can give birth to legendary powerhouses, and there are many people who are willing to accept this condition.
At least Caterina herself, it's not really unacceptable.
This doesn't even need to hurt the innocent - the kingdom of Erantz is so big, and there are quite a few felons who are executed every year. After saving up for a few years, how can you make up a round of sacrifices? Compared with the sacrifices, it is a high-level peak who is qualified to accept the sacrifice, which is seriously insufficient.
So she hesitated, but couldn't help but ask, "Is it really just a sacrifice, or is it ...... Just killing?"
"It's really just that. ”
Caterina was silent for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.
She didn't ask who was to be sacrificed, nor did she ask how she needed to operate it, but just followed Liu Daoqing's guidance, changed into a robe that could help stabilize the energy in her body, walked to the altar, and lay down in the center of the magic array.
A moment later, streams of light of different colors flowed along the magical lines and converged into the altar. They swirled in circles along the magical lines on the altar, and at the same time they continued to stir, and at the same time, they fused and merged, and gradually they merged completely, no longer distinguishing from each other.
On this altar, many layers of filtration were arranged, which could continuously filter the life energy obtained from the sacrifice, and finally when they merged into Caterina's body, they were extremely pure, and there was no longer any impurities.
Katrina's body shook, and the fighting spirit that had already reached the peak of the high rank suddenly erupted, turned into raging flames, and rose into the sky.
At this time, people began to speak in the chat channel.
[Sage of Tara Khan: What a surprise, the loss of experience points is not much. 】
[Librarian: That's because you didn't pay attention to the status bar, click on it to take a look, there is an extra "sacrificed" BUFF in it, all attributes are temporarily reduced, and the duration is unknown......]
[Happy little eggplant: The attribute has not dropped much, and it has not even dropped much since the lack of sleep. 】
[Librarian: The problem is not here, but as long as this buff is there, we can't be a second sacrifice.] 】
[Happy little eggplant: Alas, will it be a second sacrifice? Who else wants to break through the legend?]
[Librarian: If this method works, we can actually do it often.] Paladins such as Panda are no longer good, but those like Yunero who don't care about the good and evil camps can quickly rush to the legend through this method. 】
[Sing if you want: I wanted to make this suggestion before, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.] 】
[Reckless Earth Canteen Administrator: No, no, anyway, we are so strong, even if we don't rely on sacrifices, we can still step into the legend!]
Pandas, who are unable to act as sacrifices or accept sacrifices due to their profession, are currently patrolling the altar as security guards. Seeing everyone's conversation in the chat channel, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the traversers are all immortal, if they can really sacrifice others casually to break through the bottleneck, I am afraid that there will be some bad effects.
He wasn't sure what the impact would be, but no matter how he looked at it, such a thing as "harming others and benefiting oneself" should not become the norm.
Just as he was thinking about this somewhat esoteric question, he suddenly felt a powerful momentum rise behind him.
Looking back, I saw that in the fighting qi that rose like a pillar of fire, a lot of water vapor suddenly appeared.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help but ask.
The Templar Roland, who was also on patrol, shook his head: "I don't understand, isn't Caterina's fighting spirit of fire attribute?
In the blink of an eye, someone in the chat channel was already asking this question and had an answer.
The answer to this question is the "two-legged bookcase" harmony, he thinks that it should be that Caterina has absorbed too much life essence from the water attribute dragon, which has changed her own attributes, and the bloodline that tends to the water attribute and the fighting qi that tends to the fire attribute cannot be well integrated, which produces this strange phenomenon.
"Will there be trouble?" asked Liu Daoqing anxiously.
"Theoretically speaking, the cultivation of the fire attribute Dou Qi by a person with a water attribute will not have any substantial danger in addition to getting twice the result with half the effort—after all, the Dou Qi is generated by the person himself, and in the process of cultivation, he will inevitably change with his physique and become adaptable to himself......
"But her current fighting spirit is strengthened by sacrifice!"
“...... It should be no problem, after all, the sacrifice first strengthens herself, and then through herself as a medium, and then strengthens the fighting spirit. To put it bluntly, it's equivalent to directly prescribing her a plug-in like '60 years of penance'......"
As she spoke, the breath rising from Caterina's body became more and more violent, and the dense water vapor continued to grow, revealing a chill from it, and finally turned into countless ice flowers, fluttering and falling from the sky......
