Chapter 218: The Great Sacrifice
Adès's fleet sailed to the volcanic island, slowly sailing south along the coastline of the island, he was fully engaged, constantly scouting the terrain, the island's towering crater blocked the western sun, although it was only evening, but the east coast of the island was already very dark, if it was in the cabin, even light the light, to see the objects inside.
Just when Ades was standing on the deck to observe that it was more convenient to land there, a strong energy storm suddenly erupted on the island, and then followed by spatial ripples, and Yunnie rushed out of the bridge and shouted to Ades on the deck: "Ades, this is a spatial ripple on the interdimensional plane, but the intensity is not too big, it may be that the demon is engaged in sacrifice!"
Magicians have always studied the intensity of spatial ripples, and some commonly used spatial magic, they can even guess what kind of magic it is just by spatial ripples, so Adès trusts Yunny's judgment.
Sacrifice?Ades thought of the two expeditions before and after, plus the small fleet and fishing boats that disappeared on the route, how many people did the demon capture to go to the volcanic island? This is not an accurate number, but the number of people is definitely not small, the first expedition alone, the fiefdom baron's fleet, there are more than a thousand people in the fleet.
This is a large-scale sacrifice? Ades's eyes revealed a trace of shock, this is not a joke, especially among the sailors, most of the people are believers with a certain combat effectiveness, whether they believe in the goddess of the sea or other gods, as long as they have faith, then sacrifice these people to the demon lord in the bottomless abyss, there is a great possibility to obtain unimaginable rewards.
It's the same thing that humans sacrifice thousands of demons to the gods, both sides are undying enemies, and killing the enemy will reward merit, and this reward is the most unquestionable. Even some gods who have a great hatred for the abyss, and what kind of demon they sacrifice have a fixed list of rewards.
But Adès looked up at the steep rock wall, where there was no place to land. He couldn't even find the ships that the demons had captured, so where were they? The cliffs are noticeably lower and lower the further south you go, and it seems likely that the place where the boats docked is to the south.
Now is not the time to hesitate, if the demon sacrifice is completed and the ability is strengthened again, then it will be even more difficult to defeat it, and the current sacrifice, in the end, the demon was defeated by the fleet of the Lord of the Storm and the goddess of the sea, and the forced sacrifice requires increased strength. Or were the followers of these two gods caught by demons and sacrificed directly to the Abyss Lord?
Adès turned back and shouted in the direction of the bridge: "Go south, be quick, we will do our best to find the port of this island." ”
Winnie stood outside the bridge, waiting for Adès's reply, and now that she heard what he said, she hurried back to the bridge and conveyed the order to the captain to go south.
The demon was hit hard, and the places where it was hit by those tiny stars were deep blood holes, and the stars exploded in their bodies. The muscles and bones of its body were blown to pieces, and it glanced at the knights, who were still far from the top of the stone steps, although the battle just now had the upper hand. But the demon knows that there are still many people who are only injured and not dead, and in the team of priests, they can be saved if they don't die immediately.
Sure enough, Kemble saw the demon fly away, O'Gavin fell to the ground, and many of his companions in the knights not far away were moaning in pain. He did not hesitate and stretched out his right hand. The scepter pointed at Ogavin, and a divine force field enveloped Agavin. Makes Ogavin float in the air, along with the arm that was removed by the demon, and also floats near Agavin's body.
The incantation recited in Kemble's mouth, the energy in the force field was transformed into a golden divine power, resonating with the divine power in Ogati, and the blood spurted out of Agavin's body also floated from the ground, turning into tiny runes under the action of divine power, constantly rushing into his body, his arm was pulled by the force field, and returned to the place where it was broken, and the golden light suddenly shrank and rose, emitting a dazzling light, and Agavin was completely healed.
This is a "healing fatal wound" and a middle-level priest who has self-detonated his divine power, the effect is very obvious, and the recovery speed is very fast, but the head of the regiment and O'Gavin are not happy, looking at Kemble's gray hair, the two of them showed sad expressions.
This powerful healing effect, which Kemble paid for with his life, is a pious priest who reveals his last rays in the world.
Ogavin walked briskly over to Kemble, muttering the deacon's name, "Kemble......"
Kemble nodded at him, looked at the wounded of the Knights, and said to Ogavin, "It's up to you next." ”
Agavin's eyes flushed, and he nodded fiercely.
Kemble walked towards the Knights, and every wounded person he passed by was pointed with a scepter, and the powerful "secondary rejuvenation technique" was powerful to "heal moderate wounds", constantly treating his injured companions.
And his body slowly shining, his lower limbs began to turn into divine light, blurring and decomposing into particles, to the center of the knights, his lower limbs have completely turned into a mass of virtual divine light, can no longer walk, his mouth is still chanting incantations, even the body begins to blur.
This is the sequelae of self-detonation of divine power, and it is also an inevitable result.
Eventually, his body turned into a large ball of light, and before he died, he used a spell to transform his body into a healing spell called "Soul of Mass Healing", and under the light of the ball of light, each injured person received the last gift of his death.
The ball of light slowly faded, and finally turned into a tiny light and disappeared, leaving the scepter that Kemble held before his death and the space container he had deliberately left behind, and the clothes and other accessories were all dissolved under the effect of divine power.
Under Kemble's treatment, many warriors and low-ranking priests got back on their feet, and a priest in the center of the Order picked up the relics left by Kemble and handed them to Ogavin.
Ogavin held the scepter left by Kemble, looked at it at a glance, his eyes were gloomy, more than twenty people, and now there are only fourteen left who can stand up and continue to fight, he nodded to the regimental commander, turned his head to look at the demon in the small square at the entrance, gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone in a low voice: "Avenge Deacon Kemble!"
The deputy group said next to him: "I pray for you and bless you. ”
Ogawen didn't pay attention to the state of the deputy regiment, at first he thought that the deputy regiment would not continue to fight, and turned his head to scold him, but when he turned his head, the body of the deputy regiment also had a thin layer of divine flames, and his hair was also gray, and his limbs began to gradually change color and lighten.
Agavin, who just wanted to boost everyone's morale, was suddenly speechless, this is the most loyal warrior in his sect, a devout believer in the Lord of the Storm, and he is going to die here at this time.
"Father, we may not be able to meet in the kingdom of God. The deputy said to Ogavin with a smile.
Self-detonation of divine power, not only will it die, but after death, even the soul will decompose with the explosion of divine power, and the form and spirit will be destroyed......
Agavin stepped forward and said sadly, "Don't worry, we won't meet in the kingdom of God, because I'm not going to go to the kingdom of God." ”
The deputy regiment did not reply to Ogavin's words, he remained smiling, and his body began to decompose, his body crumbling much faster than Kemble, and his body instantly turned golden yellow, and then with the breeze blowing, it turned into tiny particles of gold dust, which dissipated with the wind.
There are only thirteen left......
Ogavin put away the space container and two-handed sword left by the deputy regiment, walked to the side of the head of the knights, and said to him in a low voice, "Let's go!"
"Assemble the defensive array, for the sake of our companions, for the glory of the two gods, forward!" the regimental commander waved his double-edged axe, pointed at the demon in the small square, and led his men to the steps, ready to go up and fight the demon for the final battle.
The demon's body was hit hard by the explosion of the "Avatar Star", and now it can't be restored, don't think it's a simple thing, the demon's body's recovery ability is very powerful, even if it is a broken hand or foot, it can be restored.
But now this rare divine technique actually made its body's ability to restore fù ineffective, and even those tiny starlight decomposed into extremely small particles and were still raging in the body, making its combat power plummet to the level of a low-level demon.
Looking at the knights who were slowly approaching, the demon was a little afraid, if he was killed by them now, and his combat strength could not be restored, then he would die.
Its fist-sized eyes narrowed slightly, its pupils swelled and shrank, and its beaked head turned sideways to the large group of sailors who had been driven aside by the Quasdemon, and its heart was ruthless, the port project could not be taken care of so much, if it was brought up by humans, it would die, how could it take care of the project.
It stood in the middle of the square, communicating with the altar in the cave, and with a gesture of its hand, it pointed to the crowd that had gathered, and a magic circle appeared on the altar, and a very thin light extended from the altar into the air, disappearing into the ceiling of the cave.
The project of the port is divided into several parts of construction, before and after, the sailors, merchants, and slaves captured by the demon add up to more than 3,000 people, but some died due to fatigue during the construction, and some of the demon eggs were mutilated, and some more dangerous warriors with a certain combat power were killed by the demons, and now there are only about 2,000 people left in the port.
There were about 800 people in the group of people who were driven away by the demons near the altar, and these 800 people were crowded into an open space, and some of the people who had been lured by the demons to surrender were controlling the crowd, including some of the demons.
Outside the cave, with the finger of the demon, a huge magic array projected down from the air, enveloping the crowd hiding aside, the demon's mouth read out an unknown note, the magic array lit up at once, the suppression of energy began to form, and the people in the crowd began to feel restrained.
Ogavin kept staring at the demon's figure, and when the magic array projected down, he knew that something was wrong, and when the magic array erupted with powerful energy and the crowd was restrained, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up, that magic array is for sacrifice, and the demon wants to sacrifice that group of people !!"
