Chapter 58: Faith I
Karoff is shown with his back to Silver, so the expression on his face is not visible, but he is carrying another person in his hand.
Judging by the costume, the guy appears to be a priest, just in a coma.
Rob raised his eyebrows, he could see more things, this priest who was around fifty years old, his strength should be above the eighth order, and such strength was at least the bishop level in the church. But now he is carried in Karov's hands, like a chick waiting to be slaughtered.
The elven sword in Karoff's hand slashed through the priest's chest, and blood flowed down the blade, dripping onto the altar, and was immediately swallowed and absorbed by the black stones.
Silver trembled with fear at the sight in front of him, and the joy of meeting someone else vanished.
After thousands of years of tireless propaganda and careful maintenance, the Church has a good reputation everywhere and has always played a righteous role, and those who oppose the Church are undoubtedly on the evil side.
What's more, how the black altar in front of her looks so wicked, Silver's body trembled, obviously trembling, she had given up the intention of asking for help from the people on the altar, and instead prayed in her heart that the other party would not notice her, and carefully stepped back, I don't know if her prayer was successful, and the other party did not look back.
"He's found you. "Luo Budao, for a master like the Crimson Sword, it is impossible for ordinary people to approach this distance without noticing.
The old man nodded, "When I think about it later, I also think that he deliberately let me hide aside, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of hurting me. ”
Karov on the altar stood silently, the priest who had been cut through his chest suddenly woke up, desperately struggling to escape, but he was no match for the enemy at all, as he lost more and more blood, his expression became more and more frightened, and there was even a hint of begging in his eyes, but his Karov was not moved at all.
It wasn't until the priest fell into a coma and his body began to spasm involuntarily that Karov tore a sleeve from the guy's robe to wrap it around the wound, poured him a healing potion to make sure he couldn't die, and then left it alone.
At this time, Silver also found a place to hide, hiding behind a large rock, and only showed her head to secretly observe the movement on the other side of the altar.
Karov lit a fire on the altar, and the flames, like the stones under his feet, were black and pulsed along the cracks in the stones.
"Your father seemed to be reading something, but I don't understand it, it's not human language, but it's not like elves and dwarves, it's more like some strange syllables that don't make sense. The old man recalled.
- The Word of God.
These two words immediately popped into Luo Luo's head.
In the one-day spiritual world that Matata had created, she had heard Rob speak the word of God, similar to Silver's, but the girl didn't have time to think about it, for she noticed that the sky over the valley began to change gradually, and the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds around her began to converge towards the center. In the face of this abnormal natural weather, Karov did not raise his head at all, and still chanted intently on the altar.
Unfortunately, the magic crystal can only record images, not sounds, and even Rob can't restore what Karif is talking about, so he can only barely judge that he is performing a dangerous ritual.
And the vision of the sky overhead became more and more obvious, the original white clouds turned blood-red, rolling and roaring like a wave of blood, and the whole valley began to shake, and the altar made of Arkenser was full of cracks, and black stones continued to roll down from it.
Even Silver's hiding place was affected, and the old man was obviously worried about the apocalyptic scene in front of him, and between the whole world and the world, perhaps only the figure on the high platform remained calm.
He stood there like a stone pillar.
Even if the sky fell apart in front of him, he was unmoved.
Nothing could stop him from completing the ritual, and Karov finished the last syllable, slicing the palm of his left hand with the blade of his sword, and as his blood fell into the black flames, everything around him suddenly fell silent.
But at this time, Luo Luo, who was silently watching all this, felt extremely uneasy in his heart for some reason.
The next moment, I saw that the blood cloud split from both sides, and a golden light shot down from the clouds, enveloping the entire valley.
A huge palm sticks out of the crack in the clouds, followed by half a head, and something is poking out of the crack, and because the gap in the clouds is not large, it seems to be struggling to burrow.
The first sight of the thing was like falling into an ice cellar, and an instinctive shudder welled up from the depths of her soul, and at this moment there was only deep awe in her head, and there was no resistance left.
However, Karov on the altar raised his head and looked coldly at the thing.
And the thing also noticed the human below, the eyes of the two converged, and the faces in the blood cloud showed a look of surprise, as if it didn't expect that only one person greeted it.
Silver was already amazed at the man's incredible courage, but what happened after that was completely beyond her knowledge.
I saw that the man held his sword, his knees slightly bent, as if he was under tremendous pressure, the power accumulated by more than thirty years of hard cultivation roared between every inch of bone and muscle, Karov urged them with all his strength in an almost savage way, and every vein of his blood was swollen and twisted as a result.
This reckless release of power took a terrible toll on his body, and in a short split second, two ribs were broken because they couldn't withstand such a violent force, and his calf bones were cracked all over the place.
The wound on his palm, which was not too deep, burst open completely, and the blood stained the faith in his hand, but he had no intention of stopping.
Lolo trembled at Rob's grip on the small hand.
Karoff's momentum was growing at a terrifying rate, but compared to the behemoth above his head, his figure still looked so small. It's like an ant showing off its muscles in front of an elephant, not because the elephant is holding it up, but because it doesn't notice the ant's self-conscious behavior.
The same thing will have a completely different interpretation in the eyes of different people, the elephant has stepped on the ant nest, for the ant this is tantamount to a collapse, but for the elephant it will not remember this incident at all, will not remember how many ants died because of it, those things that are important to the ant, in the eyes of the elephant is just a joke.
Because those small beings are so humble, their lives are so short, even if they don't have that kick, the ants will still die in a few days.
So when one of the ants stands in front of it, it doesn't and doesn't care to know what the other person is thinking.
