Chapter 21: The Awakened Sacrificial Maiden
"What kind of interesting plan is the king of despicable playing?"
An Ling lay flat on the bed, pondering the information that came out of the terrifying demon's mouth.
Among the demon kings of the abyss, the Despicable King is the only one who is known not for his great power, but for his cunning and cunning wisdom, and his actions are unpredictable.
But this time the king of despicability is against the earth, then he
It's not hard to guess what he's planning, what he's trying to do.
"Well, maybe the King of Despicable may have confirmed the fact that the gods are asleep and wants to plan to come to earth in person?"
An Ling touched his chin.
"It's a hurry, and the other demon kings don't know about it now, right?"
But where would he choose the place of his advent? Will it be Green River City? ”
Like An Ling, who directly relied on the holy sword, was reborn as a human being, and came to the world calmly and completely, it is only a special case.
Ordinary demon kings want to break through the barriers of world space and descend to the human world, but they need a rather harsh, difficult and complicated process. And generally only a part of the conscious soul can descend.
The help of intelligent beings on earth is indispensable, and the place of descent must also be in a densely populated city. And it's also unlikely to come completely,
An Ling could even imagine the horrific destruction of the unfortunate city chosen by the Despicable King.
"It's a pity that I don't know where it will be, otherwise I would have been involved!"
"I wish it was here in Green River City."
A smile tugged at the corner of An Ling's mouth.
If the King of Despicability happens to choose Green River City, then he can have a big meal!
……
As night fell, there was silence in the backyard of the church, and the old priest, after giving each of the guests a sumptuous dinner that had been carefully prepared, silently came to the room where Sheena was sacrificed.
After seeing that the priestess had not yet woken up, he sighed and quietly exited the room.
The night was still very long, and although there were a few more guests in the backyard of the church, it did not become more lively, and it was as deserted as ever.
In the clean and elegant room, Sheena lay quietly on the bed, sleeping quietly and beautifully. I don't see the slightest wounded soul.
"Hmm~"
Suddenly, the sacrificial girl sighed, her body glowed softly, and her expression seemed to change as if she had encountered some strange dream.
Countless pure light magic overflowed from Sheena's body, filling the room.
There was a flash in the air, and An Ling instantly appeared in front of Sheena's bed, looking around suspiciously.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the light escaping around him, An Ling twisted his nose, and was surprised by the changes that appeared in Shena.
"Is it the reason for the Holy Sword?"
He guessed.
Sheena forcibly casts a spell that tears her soul apart. He used the holy power on the holy sword to heal her injuries. Perhaps the Holy Sword Holy Power would have a special reaction to the souls of the clergy, so the scene in front of his eyes appeared.
And although the light magic in the room made An Ling very uncomfortable, he still chose to wait here for a while, waiting for Xina to wake up.
Time passed little by little, and the light on the girl's body was still undulating, and the extremely gentle and pure light magic was still overflowing.
Finally, after the last rays of light flashed on her body, the sacrificial girl on the bed finally slowly opened her eyes.
"Hmm~ Where am I?"
"In your room, we're back in Green River City, including the ladies of the Iris Adventure Party, everyone is fine."
"Anling?"
Xina was frightened by An Ling beside her, and then remembered what happened before she fell unconscious, blushed, and asked An Ling:
"Anling, have you been staying here?"
An Ling blinked and said:
"Almost, you forcibly cast a spell to tear your soul apart, and this situation has to be worrying."
"I..."
Sheena lowered her head and whispered:
"Sorry for worrying you."
An Ling spread his hands indifferently, and asked Xina curiously:
"Sheena, why did you do that at the time, that girl was just a stranger, and you could ruin your life because of it."
An Ling really doesn't understand this.
Hina curled her legs, hugged her knees, and whispered:
"I didn't think much about it, I just didn't want that kind of tragedy to happen anyway, Miss Maggie is a good person, she shouldn't have to suffer the painful tragedy of her 'Blade Companion'."
"Didn't think so?"
An Ling frowned, looking a little more confused.
Hina smiled softly and said:
"People can't always be smart, right, and it's understandable to be stupid once in a while."
"Stupid? Well~"
An Ling accepted this answer, and did not continue to say anything, but asked:
"You had some strange changes just now, do you have any feelings or impressions?"
"Change?"
Sheena pondered, then shook her head.
"I don't know, I just remember that I seemed to have had a very strange dream......"
Her eyes widened suddenly, her face full of surprise.
"Wait! Anling! There doesn't seem to be a crack in my soul, I'm fine! ”
An Ling pulled a clean smile on his face and said:
"Congratulations, praise the light."
Hina also immediately clasped her hands, closed her eyes and said:
"Praise the light, and thank the light for its protection."
"Great, Anling, I'm actually fine!"
For a long time, Sheena couldn't recover from the surprise.
Hina knows very well what the self-tearing of the soul will bring to herself, at worst she will become a fool, and at best, she will also face the sad situation of not being able to continue on the path of magic.
But I didn't expect that now, she didn't have anything to do, and she was really grateful for the protection of the light.
"Okay Sheena, since you're okay, just rest well, I'll go first."
Xina's joy An Ling can't empathize, if you want to ask, you've already finished asking, and An Ling naturally wants to leave.
"Wait a minute, An Ling!"
When Xina saw An Ling turn around to leave, she immediately raised her hand to stop him.
An Ling turned around and asked:
"What's wrong, Sheena? Anything else? ”
The smile on Sheena's face was put away a little, revealing some serious eyes, and said to An Ling:
"Yes Anling, I have one thing I want to ask you for help, the sooner the better."
"Just say."
Hina's eyes sank, and she said slowly:
"Through the events of today's day, that evil purple mist desolate village, that evil existence that possesses others... It made me realize that the vicinity of Green River City, or even within Green River City, could have been quietly infected by the power of the abyss. ”
"Green River City is in the midst of a hidden, evil horror crisis."
An Ling looked at Sheena and asked:
"What exactly is the terrorist crisis?"
Hina took a deep breath and said:
"That is the extremely powerful, terrifying existence in the abyss, summoned to descend into this world."
"Resisting and exorcising evil is the natural duty of our Holy Court of Light, and such a crisis is what we need to worry about and guard against the most."
