Chapter 278: Seeking the Way
"Hey, hey, hey, hey. ”
The strange and sharp laughter echoed in the whole small world, the torn space gap had not yet been completely calmed down, the golden net and sparks were still faintly visible, the toad squatting in the center of the magic array, with a blue-black tongue hanging from its mouth, its bulging eyes were half-squinted, staring in the direction where the gold was, and the voice was the same as his tongue, full of slimy and lazy taste, which made people feel itchy all over their bodies when they heard it:
"Hey...... The ewe has landed in the 'right' place...... That... To speed things up a bit, wow. ”
With that, one of His eyes 'grunted', turned back to the front, and landed on the two witches in front of Him. Colma's eyes rolled, and there were a few more strands of white in her hair, and the whole person was like a medicine that had been sugar-coated, exuding a bitter breath from the inside out. Elena still held the silver knife in one hand, half of her body stained with bright red sheep's blood, which contrasted with her long, burgundy wavy hair, revealing an eerie beauty.
The toad's other eye purred and turned in the other direction, aiming at a witch outside the magic circle and the black cat beside her.
To be precise, his attention was mainly on the black cat.
"As a lead...... Advent Rewards...... Now, say what you want, wizard. ”
The toad grunted in a slimy voice, his eyes showing cruelty and greed, but that didn't mean he would break the rules set by the Engagement Circle. According to the rules, while receiving the corresponding sacrifice, He will also fulfill the wishes of the sacrificer.
"The Great and Hidden Existence ......"
"The ...... of the gods who wander in the depths of the starry sky"
"I am here to dedicate my body, my soul, all my ......"
"Pray to You ......"
"Pray, show the way for the trickster......"
Colma's voice was hoarse, but her tone grew firmer. As a wizard who had reached the registered level, she already had enough insight not to expect a limited contract to cost an outer god too much, she only hoped that she could sum up all her hopes in a succinct sentence before the being had exhausted the last of her patience.
"You are not 'the black goat of the forest that gives birth to thousands of offspring'," a faint but very sure voice from Colma's other side interrupted Colmar's words, and cracks appeared in Yelena's white mask, but her eyes were still clear, and after hearing Colma's prayer, she gritted her teeth and repeated, emphatically, "You are not the goddess of darkness and abundance!"
The giant toad looked down at the two witches, not seemingly intending to say their names, but just 'hehe' and let out a series of strange and piercing sneers.
Colma, who was prostrate on the ground, was silent for a moment, did not look up, but raised the copper plate in his hand a little higher, and the 'jelly' stained with spiritual blood on the plate squirmed wildly, changing all kinds of appearances, but it was never fixed, like a soft mud monster.
The witch repeated the previous prayer in a dry but firm voice:
"The Great and Hidden Existence ......"
"The ...... of the gods who wander in the depths of the starry sky"
"I am here to dedicate my body, my soul, all my ......"
"Pray to You ......"
"Pray, show the way for the trickster......"
......
"Hey, hey...... What a greedy and cute mushroom. The toad's laughter was mixed with muffled sounds, making it especially difficult for the witch trying to hear his words clearly. His parables are also very peculiar and terrifying:
"You offer sacrifices and pursue desires...... Hey hey ......"
"Life, wealth, fame, power...... Hey hey ......"
"Other mushrooms are very greedy and have very low requirements......"
"Your greed is small, but your demands are big...... Hey. ”
"Seeking the Way for a Crowd of Dooms......"
Different voices were intertwined, as if dozens of people were speaking together, but they were reverberating and merging together, making people feel a feeling of chest tightness and palpitations.
The toad looked into the eyes of the witch beneath him, and lifted his eyelids slightly, so that the gaze in his eyes flowed a little more, as if he wanted to see more clearly, to see what kind of soul was so greedy in front of him.
Colma's body trembled slightly under the gaze of the outer god, but the copper plate in his hand did not move at all, and he lifted it a little higher. To her horror, Elena found that Colma's arms had been completely unbound from the joints, and were being held up by a twisted force.
She tried to scream, but only the thoughts in her head were still flowing slowly.
"Sacrifice...... I took it. ”
"The way you asked..."
"Here you go..."
The toad's blue-black tongue shot out like a spring, and it was heavily imprinted on the forehead of the witch's soul, leaving a black, tadpole-like snaking trace.
The witch's spirit went into a trance for a moment.
A magnificent voice echoed in her spiritual world:
“...... There are many paths to transcendent power...... You don't have to go all the way along the widest river...... Sometimes, narrow and winding curves are the right 'road'......"
“...... Sacrifice in exchange for the power to cast the spell......"
“...... It's fair trade......"
"It's also an ancient power. ”
At the same time, an irresistible force spread out of the void, firmly binding the witch's soul and body, and began to drag it towards the depths of the void.
The witch's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a hint of horror and anger in her eyes: "I haven't left them a way yet! you can't take me away!!!
The huge toad crouched in the shadow of the ornate arch, its eyes narrowed into a slit at some point, and the sight of the witch was full of amusement and boredom:
"Hey, hey...... There is nothing sacred about the covenant. ”
"The road has given you ......"
"The appetizer is over. ”
Before the words fell, the magic array that had been quiet trembled violently, the air around it trembled, and the entire small world trembled as well. The sun and moon hung upside down, the forest stood upside down in the void, the sun buried the earth, and the moon shone brightly yellow, hanging honestly behind the great toad, replacing the crumbling arched door.
It's like an eyeball, overseeing everything in this world.
After finishing the 'work' that he had been summoned, the uninvited guest was finally freed from the shackles of the magic array above the rules, and was given room for further movement.
Always staring at the other eyeball of the witch and the black cat outside the array, he slowly and laboriously raised his heavy eyelids, and slowly opened them, like a smaller moon, exuding a luster that made everyone's hearts chill.
