Chapter 368: On the eve of the duel with the Apostles
Ophelia repeated the message Camille had told her from the coat of arms, "I'm in the belly of the mainland...... I'm in the belly of the mainland...... I think Marcel-sama must have been referring to the inside of the Celestial Veil Behemoth's body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I just knew a path that could lead to the inside of the body of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, and Lord Marcel must have left a clue there. ”
"But we don't even know if Marcel is still alive. Camilli said. "I'm reluctant to say that, but you know that escaping Lotus's psychic attack doesn't mean he won't encounter other dangers. ”
"I know the forbidden spell. Ophelia explained. "It's a secret technique that separates the soul from the body, and only the Blue Shinrikyo's secret organization, the Blood Purification, knows how to use it. Mistress Marcel must have had his intentions in doing so, as the consequences of this occult technique would result in the user's soul and body never merging together. ”
"In that case, then I think Marcel must have been hiding in the belly of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth for something, do you know more about it?" asked Camille.
"It's a forbidden place for the Blue Shinrikyo cult, and even the Bishop isn't allowed to enter it, so we know very little about what it's going on. It may be clear what is going on in that only by confirming it with your own eyes, but considering that Lotus has not been eliminated yet, it is not yet time. Ophelia tried to keep herself calm, though she longed to meet the Marcel who loved her so much.
"Well, I think Freya and Carl will be back in two days, and then we'll have the final result. ”
"Thank you so much for your continued help and hope that Lotus will get the punishment it deserves. ”
"It will. Camilli said uncertainly, though Ophelia didn't hear it.
Twilight falls, in every sense of the word. The adventurer's constant message of being turned into an octopus monster by Lotus has not stopped for some time, so much so that the attack on the Apostle has been greatly hindered. Entrenched in the second spine, Lotus did his best to once again expand the area of his psychic attack, so that any creature that came near it would eventually end up turning into an octopus.
By the time Freya and Carl rushed back to the West Coast, the attack on the Apostle Lotus had come to a complete standstill, and no one would try to use their lives to see if they would turn into an octopus, given that the specifics were clear. Although, to a certain extent, the Adventurers League was able to purge a large number of Rotes as a resistant, as well as various monsters.
With only four jamming transmitters, it was destined to make a difficult choice, but almost no one could guarantee that four people would be able to get rid of Rotus, so everyone was very cautious on this point. In the end, two fellows from the Demon Realm stepped forward - Mirna and Uma felt compelled to face Lotus, not only for the answers they wanted, but also to put an end to the incident.
"Listen to me, you may be confused, but I must say never to try to question the power of the apostles, even if they are in a weakened state. As you can see, Rotus, who is too weak to move, is able to wipe out an entire religious group with a psychic attack. Without jamming launchers, we wouldn't even have had a chance to get close to Rotus. Uma patiently explained to the crowd, knowing that the guys in front of him were not megalomaniacs who would get carried away by a brief victory, but he felt the need to give them a warning.
"Good luck, sweethearts!" Warhammer's mouth made it clear that he didn't belong to the quarter.
"Well, there are two jamming transmitters left. Marcos said he thinks everyone has the right to make a choice.
"I'll go, just for the answer. Maffeo reached out and took a jamming transmitter over.
"Are you sure?" confirmed Marcos.
"I'm sure I'm here to help you. I'd say you've done enough, so I've got to make myself look a little more useful, or I'll feel guilty. Maffeo spread his hands, and on the surface he didn't care, but his serious tone and the content of his words betrayed himself.
"Well, there's one last one left. Marcos shifted his gaze to the last jamming transmitter, and he thought, it was time to make a choice.
Just as he was about to reach for the jamming transmitter in his grip, a voice from the door of the warehouse interrupted his movements. "Hey, Marcos, how about a holiday present for Finn Stark, also from Wille?" it was Finn, who stood in the doorway, smiling.
"Fian?" Marcos looked at him in surprise.
Finn took two steps forward and walked into the warehouse, not paying any attention to the strange stares of the few people who hadn't seen him yet. "A bracelet studded with technology I've never seen before, I can't think of a better gift. ”
Marcos wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled. He then picked up the last jamming transmitter and threw it at Fin. "May the gods bless you. ”
"What's the matter, did your long wandering make you believe in Remidia?" Finn laughed, tucking the jamming transmitter into his pocket.
"We're going to help you in every way, so happy hunting. Marcos didn't respond to Finn's ridicule, but said to everyone in a serious way.
"Remember, people who don't interfere with the transmitter should never go near the range of the marked Lotus psychic attack. Uma gave one last warning.
"It's going to be a lot of work. ”
Twilight in every sense of the word really came, and then the moonlight shone on the earth, shining on the back of the messy blond hair. Maffeo sat alone on the roof of the warehouse, spreading his greatsword flat in front of him, watching the traces of the sword that had been forever left behind in the previous battles. He smiled, coldly, like the bleak moonlight.
Without a word, he came behind Maffeo and tapped him lightly on the head with the hilt of his knife. "My faithful servant. A teasing voice came.
"Don't make a fuss, Marcos. Maffeo looked back and said angrily.
Marcos walked around half of Maffeo's body and sat down next to him. "Is everything alright?"
"Are you serious? Then I would say that since the apostles appeared, nothing has ever gotten better. Maffeo's tone sounded like a complaint, but at the same time a little bitter.
"Finn went back, back to his insignificant little inn. Marcos didn't follow Maffeo's words, he stretched, and then lay down, his hands resting on the back of his head. "Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to make a decision?"
"I always have to face what I don't want to face, whether it's to get an answer or to keep the apostles from bringing disaster here, I have to make a choice, don't I?"
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
"Okay, but remember, don't lose your life. ”
"I'm not going to lose it. Maffeo replied in the affirmative.
