Chapter 284: Between Rituals
"Bang", the door between the ceremonies, finally closed tightly, completely splitting the entire ceremonial and the world of the living in half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info stepped into the ceremony between the pannis, squinted his eyes at this familiar place, unconsciously showed a smile, and said softly: "Sure enough, as it was more than a hundred years ago, this place has not changed at all, everything is still the same, the only difference is the people standing here." ā
From the outside, between the ceremonies is a hall of six or seven hundred square meters, in the middle of the hall there is a solitary altar, several figures around the altar to pray, although the whole hall is spacious, but it still belongs to the category of rooms. However, once you enter the ceremony, once the door is closed, the surrounding walls and gates disappear completely, and the bounded interior becomes a dark space without borders, and the ground paved with white jade extends endlessly to all sides, and the borders are not visible from afar, even the roof disappears, and there is also a dark void above. If one walks around, they will find that even if they walk ten times the length and width of the original hall, they will not be able to touch the boundary of the hall, and the same result is flying upwards, and flying creatures can even hover at a height of several hundred meters without touching the roof. It seems that the moment the door closes, the whole ceremony enters another space, no wonder the two half-dead are so confident, thinking that after the door is closed, no one can enter the ceremony, and if they want to break through this kind of space opened up by relying on the power of the gods, it is indeed not easy to rely on human power.
Although there was no boundary around him, Pannis's position from the altar had not changed, and from a distance of tens of meters, Pannis could easily see the situation on the side of the altar. Slightly different from what he had imagined, it wasn't just two half-dead people standing around the altar, in addition to the two half-dead, there were also four people dressed as necromancers around the altar. The four necromancers are perhaps the only four Legendary Tier believers in Danakus, the four strongest of the necromancers, and it is obvious that they are placed here, both for their strength and for their loyalty. All are absolute yes. The four necromancers knelt at the four corners of the altar, ignoring Pannis's entry, their eyes closed and their mouths chanting incomprehensible prayers. Engrossed, as if all that was left of the world was the altar in front of him.
The two half-dead stood on either side of the altar, and since they were close enough, Pannis could already see their appearances. Unlike that meeting a hundred years ago, this time. The two half-dead had regained their appearance as when they were still alive, a man and a woman, both of whom looked similar to those of humans in their mid-thirties. For the Three-Eyed Clan, who have an eternal life, once they reach maturity, their appearance will solidify, and until they choose to end because they die unexpectedly and live because they are tired of life, there will be no change in their appearance, so they look like they are about thirty years old. It is the most common age group for the Three-Eyed Clan, and the two half-dead are obviously no exception.
At this time, the two of them, their skin was unhealthily pale, and their eyes were full of hatred, as if they wanted to bite Pennis in front of them, but there was a bit of joy in the hatred, and they seemed to be very sure, and they would soon see the despair on his face.
"Is this the final place of the ceremony?" said Pannis, ignoring the hatred between the two, squinting his eyes and smiling, "This altar looks like I've never seen before." Oh, you say, if I break it, will your ritual fail at once?"
"You can try. The male half-dead smiled and showed his teeth. He said gloomily: "As long as you have the ability to smash this altar condensed by my lord's divine power, maybe you can really destroy our ritual." ā
"It turned out that Danakus made the altar himself, is he planning to sacrifice it himself?" said Pannis, teasingly, "I'm not interested in swinging a sword at something blessed by divine power, it's just a waste of effort, but I think these four mages are still in the ritual." It doesn't seem to be like an altar that has been blessed with divine powers, but if I kill them in front of you, your ritual will be interesting, and I can't help but want to see it. ā
"It's really interesting. The female half-dead said in a sharp voice, "If you come forward two hours, once you kill them at that time, it will bring the entire ritual that you imagined, and even directly disrupt the progress of the ritual." Unfortunately, now that the ritual steps are over, as long as the sacrifices are in place, the final step will be automatically carried out, if you don't believe it, you can kill them, maybe after killing one, the ritual will be ruined. ā
"Since you've all said that the ritual has started to run on its own, what else can I gain by killing them but wasting time and giving you a chance?" Pannis shrugged and said......, "Am I that stupid?
Before he finished speaking, the figure suddenly flashed, and Pannis had disappeared in place, instantly appearing behind a necromancer, and the one-handed sword silently slashed at the neck of the necromancer who was prostrate on the ground. Almost at the same time, the two half-dead also moved, the two followed closely behind Pannis, no one stopped Pannis's attack, but deliberately paused for half a second before attacking him from behind, it seemed that the necromancer was really used as a decoy, giving Pannis enough time to attack the bait, and then they used the gap after his attack to achieve the results of the battle. However, Pannis's one-handed sword suddenly turned around halfway through the slash, the tip was downward, and the spine of the sword slapped against the dagger in the hand of the female half-dead. With a crisp impact, Pannis disappeared into the realm, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original position, as if he had not moved at all, and the two half-dead also stopped at the same time, blocking between Pannis and the necromancer who was regarded as the target, and the weapon in his hand disappeared into the thick black robe, still staring at Pannis coldly.
"Why don't you continue?" the male half-dead man smiled and said in a low voice: "Since you want to test, how can you not pay some price, you won't be reluctant to pay these costs." ā
"As I said just now, since you told me the answer sincerely, I am so sincere, of course I choose to believe you. Pannis played with the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "I said that I am not that stupid, and I will test it even if I know the answer, you don't think that I don't believe your words." ā
"Stop talking nonsense. The female half-deceased said in a hoarse voice: "The shame and hatred of more than a hundred years ago should be resolved today." ā
"Actually, I don't really understand your thoughts. But Pannis didn't mean to fight immediately, but asked unhurriedly: "Why do you have to open the door of death? If you just want to revive Danakus, it's just a private enmity between you and me, no, if you push back more than a hundred years, there is no personal enmity, and if he just wants to revive at that time, no one will even try to stop him, but why do you have to open the door of death twice and put yourself on the opposite side of all the creatures in the world?"
"Hmph, we belong to this world, of course we have to come back to this world. A part of the world originally belonged to us dead believers, you short-lived and filthy creatures just stole and polluted what belonged to us, if you don't open the door of death, will you obediently return everything to us?" And the hope of our lord is also to let his glory shine on the world again, if you want to achieve this goal, the only way to achieve this goal is to destroy you humble creatures and make the world a paradise for my lord's believers, so my lord will pass on his will to the believers just after waking up, and the two sides cooperate to open the door of death, but I didn't expect that the plan that was about to succeed was destroyed by a few of you stupid creatures. ā
"In the end, it is the contradiction between the living and the dead, and the ambition of Danacus to fight for faith, so it is no wonder that it is a contradiction that can never be reconciled. Pannis nodded thoughtfully, "But do you think the other gods will be happy to watch from the sidelines?"
"They ......" As soon as the male half-dead spoke, Pannis's feet suddenly exerted force, and lightning appeared in front of him, stabbing him in the heart with a one-handed sword, the male half-dead's face changed, and his body moved sideways as best he could, revealing the position of the necromancer behind him. Pannis's sword missed, but as if he had been prepared, he didn't even pause a step, holding the sword body and continuing to rush forward, drilling through the gap exposed by the male half-dead, the target still chose the same necromancer.
However, his attack failed again, and this time the two half-dead did not have time to stop it, but they were not in a hurry at all, and instead watched with a strange look as Pannis's attack got closer and closer to the target. However, just as the blade was still a few centimeters away from reaching the target, Pannis suddenly felt a burst of flexibility and stiffness from the sword, easily bounce his attack away, although he did not use all his strength to attack, but there is no doubt that this force is also very powerful.
"Hey, it turns out that they themselves are within the protection of the altar. Pannis immediately figured out the reason, pouted and said, "It's a waste of my time." ā
