Chapter 0167: Ceremony (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Unknown inn, in the room.
The perimeter has long been tightly arranged, sealing off anomalies and spiritual leaks.
The light of the spiritual fire shone brightly, dancing with the shadows, rising and falling like a tide.
The ordinary table was covered with various spiritual materials at this time.
Sulu looked solemn and stared at the burning face-snatcher in front of him.
It's not particularly powerful, but it's so cunning that it's hard to spot, let alone kill.
The fact that I was able to obtain two materials this time was completely acquired at my own premium, and a lot of things were exposed for this.
'But...... A real treasure map is enough to attract those big forces to do it, right? ’
The corners of Sulu's mouth curled slightly, and that was exactly what he was hoping for.
Wait until the next day, when the sun is gradually rising.
In his hand, there was already something like a human skin mask.
"Magical Item - Mask of the Facesnatcher!"
"Fortunately, I bought two materials, and yesterday's refining really failed once......"
Sulu looked at the only finished product left in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put it on his face.
The Mask Grabber is cool to the touch, not depressing, but seems to melt into its own skin, with a very comfortable feeling.
And that's not all.
Sulu came to a floor-to-ceiling mirror and pinched his facial features casually like plasticine.
"Sure enough...... With the addition of the Facesnatcher's perk, the newly revamped mask has the ability to be disguised, but its effect is limited! The first point, of course, is that you can only change your face, and there is no way to change your height and posture, and the second point is that there is a limit to change. ”
The performance of this mask is very strange, as if there is a limited amount of skin and flesh on the face, and you can choose to add it to the cheeks, nose, eyelids, and other organs at will.
However, when the total amount is exhausted, there is nothing that can be done, some of it will stand out, and some of it will decrease.
"Even so, it can make me a second person, and my hiding ability will skyrocket, and if I combine it with the ability of [Wanderer], I will be an incredible assassin!"
Sulu was quite satisfied, and suddenly, a thought in his heart moved, and his nose was elongated, and the skin color above his mouth changed, blooming a smooth silver.
In an instant, it was as if he was wearing the 'Raven Covering' from before.
"Yes, I'll call you 'Crow's Covering' in the future, but it's a pity that it's the second generation."
The first generation of masks, of ordinary materials, was damaged after resisting an attack, but the second generation of Raven's covering, although the defense was sacrificed, the camouflage ability was increased to the limit.
For Sulu, this is a more useful ability.
"The bureau has been laid out, but I don't know how many greedy jackals can be attracted in the silent forest?"
After Sulu cleaned up, he opened the curtains and looked in the direction of the Silent Forest, smiling without saying a word.
……
Western Commonwealth, Black Dead Society, Branch.
The dark green candle flame burned, and the surroundings were stained with a miserable blue light.
Many black shadows were reflected on the wall, as if countless demons were dancing wildly with their arms outstretched.
A large number of Black Dead apostles, draped in black robes and armed with various ritual utensils, prostrated under an altar, muttering different words in their mouths.
The entire altar is made of obsidian and is filled with intricate and mysterious symbols, each of which seems to contain an endless number of secrets worthy of a lifetime of study.
"President!"
A priest respectfully saluted in front of the president of the Black Death Society: "The ceremony has been prepared, and the Holy Maiden has completed the preliminary preparations. ”
"Very good, let's get started!"
The old man-like president nodded and put on a pitch-black mask.
There are many evil patterns on the surface of this mask, and in the middle of the forehead, there is a circle of moon rings.
He stroked the mask, stretched his arms indifferently, and automatically there were believers, draping him in elaborate and intricate sacrificial robes.
A puff of moonlight that came from nowhere suddenly illuminated the entire secret realm.
When a large number of Black Dead Apostles saw this, the frenzy in their eyes intensified, and they prayed loudly.
'Since the last time I obtained the Arcane Spirit, the recovery process of my Lord Moon Lady has been accelerating......
When the president of the Black Death Society saw this scene, he couldn't help but be very satisfied.
Step by step, he walked up to the altar and came to the very top.
I saw that in the middle of the altar, there was a crystal coffin, a stunning girl wearing only a plain robe, with an extremely delicate face, and her skin could be blown and broken, like a doll, was lying calmly in it, her eyes closed.
She's Beatrice, of course.
"The true carrier of the gods requires a body and extraordinary power of at least the legendary level......"
The president of the Black Death Society looked at this scene.
At this time, Beatrice, of course, did not meet that standard.
What she was doing was a master-level ritual that broke through the fourth order.
"The moon is the master of death!"
"My lord has the power of death!"
"I want to be close to my lord...... Death must be accepted and returned...... Become ...... Immortal! ”
In an aria tone, the old man recited a mysterious incantation: "In the name of the moon...... Come back to life! ”
The previous Beatrice was just a corpse made by accident.
At its core, it's still a corpse—even if it has some consciousness, is able to move, and even has supernatural powers!
And her career path is to reverse life and death step by step.
When you reach the fourth level, when you are at the master level, you must use rituals to completely resurrect this body, and it has the abilities that living people have such as heartbeat and temperature.
Only in this way can you truly be considered an [immortal]!
"Praise be to my lord!"
In the fanatical worship of many cultists, the sacrifices that had been prepared long ago were slaughtered in large numbers.
A trace of blood, climbing along the lines, soon occupied the entire altar.
The girl in the crystal coffin seemed to have absorbed the blood of the entire altar, and her body became slightly translucent, and a trace of blood could be seen flowing in the veins, giving her complexion a healthy rosy red.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Blood pooled everywhere, and eventually, her heart beat vigorously.
This step is achieved, which means that Beatrice has truly changed from a dead corpse to a living person, completely reversing life and death.
All bodily functions, even the fertility that was originally lost, have completely returned.
At this time, there is no doubt that she is a living person!
This is a state that even the holy water of the Church of Light cannot harm, because her nature has been completely changed.
'It is the miracle of our lord to reverse life and death!' ’
The president of the Black Death Society watched Beatrice slowly get up, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly in respect—not for her, but for the container for her soon-to-be-become goddess.
"Prepare a room for me!"
Beatrice said in an ethereal voice without a trace of impurity, "In three days, I will completely consolidate this state and curse the sinner who defiled my spirit!" ”
Even if it is a master-servant contract, once the gap is too large, it is still possible to be overturned!
