-120- True Holy Emblem
The taunt from the maiden made the face of the boy named Gunnar sink.
He didn't say anything more, but snorted coldly, and the pale blue light on his body erupted again, swinging his sword and slashing at Astrid.
"Big sister!"
"Be careful!"
Astrid's companions let out a barrage of exclamations.
Astrid looked stunned.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her body, and hurriedly raised her sword to parry.
Gunnar sneered.
The pale blue light converged on the edge of his sword, wrapped in violent magic and reckless madness, pressing towards the girl!
"Boom......!"
There was a loud roar.
Astrid only felt an irresistible force pressing down, like a falling mountain, directly on her body.
Almost instantly, she was smashed to the ground again, and she couldn't help but spurt out another mouthful of blood.
Totem Power ......
Unlike the Holy Light that favors the priests in the Divine Court, as the source of extraordinary power for many tribes in the North, one of the oldest "power of faith" in Miria, this transcendent power that blends faith is simply not something ordinary transcendent can compete with.
"Astrid, you've lost."
The boy came to the maiden and looked at her condescendingly.
"Cheat! You cheat! You actually used the power of totem in the honor challenge, you are cheating! ”
Looking at Gunnar, whose whole body was shining brightly, the young girl next to the old woman said angrily.
The teenagers who followed Gunnard sneered:
"Cheating? Before the challenge, I didn't say that I couldn't use the power of totems! Besides, Lord Gunnard uses the power of the totem, and she can use it too! ”
"Oh, we forgot, you are hypocrites who take ridiculous legends for totem worship, and you have no totems that can provide the power of totems!"
The teenagers were triumphant.
However, the expression of the Marquis of Vladimir on the side was not good-looking.
The power of totem is the most commonly used transcendent power for most transcendents in the north since ancient times, but being able to use the power of totem means that the other party has not given up totem worship.
Noticing the gaze of the Marquis of Vladimir, Gunnar saluted him and said respectfully:
"Lord Marquis, please forgive me for using the power of totems in battle."
"The conversion I speak of to the great God is not false, but only ...... Our high priest has said that our Linhai tribe has its own totem and does not conflict with the belief in the gods. ”
"The great god has always been tolerant, his old man allows the true gods to become his slaves, and our high priest has also communicated with the totem spirits through witch sacrifices, and our totemic spirits are willing to submit to the gods, and are fully qualified to become the slaves of the gods!"
Listening to Goonard's words, the face of the Marquis of Vladimir did not look much better.
And on the side of the Marquis of Vladimir, Sebas also had a strange expression.
As a family member of the Great True Ancestor, he has always wanted to pass on the beliefs of the True Ancestor to the Northland, and he has done his homework on many beliefs in the Northland.
Unlike the true god beliefs in other parts of the continent, the totemic beliefs in the Northland actually have no gods at all, or ...... Those who sustain the "faith" are not true gods.
No, it would be more accurate to say that they may have once been gods, but after being hunted down and suppressed by an unnamed terror being in the era of the Blood Moon Era, they have long since lost their godhood and become supernatural beings who can only maintain a small number of beliefs.
Some totems are even worse.
Because he lost his strength and initiative in the connection of faith, not only could he no longer rely on faith to gain power, but in turn he became a "blood bag" borrowed by the totem tribe with extraordinary power, and was raised by the northern tribe through "blood sacrifices".
The high priest of the Linhai tribe said that his totem spirit was willing to surrender to the god lord, whether it was the meaning of the totem spirit or the meaning of the tribal priest, to be honest, it was not certain.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Sebas.
He looked at the girl on the challenge field.
"It's still a little bit ......"
Feeling the breath of the girl's body, he said secretly in his heart.
Challenge on the field.
Listening to the taunts of the teenagers, Astrid's fists clenched.
She's in a bad state.
Under the two heavy blows, her whole body was in severe pain, and her brain was a little drowsy.
She felt that her ribs should be broken, but she didn't know how many were broken, and there should have been many fractures elsewhere.
But now she doesn't care about any of that.
She stared at Gunnar surrounded by light, her eyes full of anger.
Not being able to get a response from the totem of faith is a pain that the Free Tribal Alliance has always suffered.
Without the protection of the power of the totem, the Free Tribal Alliance has always been at a disadvantage in the competition with other tribes in the North.
However, the faith of the Free Tribal Alliance brooks no blasphemy.
Able to persevere in the midst of suffering again and again, and to survive in the harsh environment of the North, the Free Tribal Alliance has always relied on its firm belief and pious belief in the savior.
The great savior is not a fabrication, although most of the texts have been lost in the long migration of the tribe, but Astrid knows that in the temple at the core of the alliance, there are still sacred relics that record the deeds of the savior!
As a devout believer, she could not tolerate the other party's blasphemy against the gods!
"No...... I haven't lost yet! ”
I saw Astrid grit her teeth, forcibly operate the source force, and once again struggled to get up with the support of the source force.
She drew a totemic symbol on her chest with a shudder, and then raised her short sword tremblingly, pointed it directly at Gunnar, and staggered:
"Goonard, the glory of the gods...... No desecration, take back ...... Your blasphemy against our Lord! ”
Seeing her crumbling appearance, the boys of the North who followed Gunnar laughed:
"Hahaha...... Retract the blasphemy against our Lord? ”
"Look! She's still holding on! ”
"Astrid, don't be obsessed, your savior doesn't exist!"
"Our spirits are willing to follow the great gods, and we are already believers in the Holy Court, but you hypocrites who are not capable of doing anything want glory?"
"Blasphemy? Your ignorance is the greatest blasphemy against the gods! ”
The teenagers looked at each other with mockery, causing the other side of the teenager and girl to look at each other angrily.
Looking at the smug young man, at Gunnar with a pale blue glow all over his body, and at the Marquis of Vladimir with a frown, Astrid bit her lip.
Taking a deep breath, her gaze became firm.
"I'm sorry, father...... I still can't watch these people blaspheme our gods. ”
"For the glory of the Savior, daughter...... I had to be willful for a while. ”
She muttered.
After finishing speaking, I saw her expression solemn, and the source power on her body suddenly surged again!
The transcendent aura suddenly rose, and her pale blue eyes were quickly dyed with a crimson halo.
Seeing the girl's sudden change in pupils, the surrounding teenagers let out a series of exclamations:
"This ...... This is the blood spirit burning of the Free Tribal Alliance! ”
"Is she crazy! Actually use the blood spirit to burn! ”
Blood Spirit Burning ......
If there is no reason why the Shelter Free Tribal Alliance without the power of totems has been able to hold out for so long in the harsh northern border, then the biggest hero should be this transcendent spell that only the bloodline people of the Free Tribal Alliance can learn.
This kind of spell that burns extraordinary blood and soul and instantly bursts out with powerful combat power is the hole card of the transcendents of the Free Tribal Alliance!
Of course, the price is also dearly.
At worst, the life span will be greatly reduced, and the extraordinary strength will be completely lost, and the worst will die directly on the spot.
The surging source power exploded, and Astrid's gaze was resolute.
However, just as she was about to completely ignite her transcendent blood and soul power, an indistinguishable sigh rang in her ears:
"If His Great Majesty sees His followers die in such a way, I think ...... He will not be pleased. ”
"Who?!"
Astrid looked up.
However, no one else seemed to hear the voice except her.
Their stunned eyes focused on the girl's body, and they seemed to be still surprised that the girl had directly used the life-fighting forbidden technique with a high probability of death.
"Don't look for it, I'm talking to you from the bottom of your heart now, and no one else can hear me."
"Hehe, this is one of the bloodline gifts I have received from the Great Crown, and it is also a gift from my lord."
The mysterious voice sounded again, with a lightness and indifference that was different from that of the people of the North.
A mysterious rhythm that is difficult to describe in words blows.
The next moment, Astrid was shocked to find that the transcendent blood and soul power she had just tried to ignite had quickly subsided.
"Who are you? What did you do!? ”
Astrid said in her heart, shocked and angry.
The mysterious voice sounded again, this time, mildly and kindly:
"Don't be angry, I just don't want to see His Majesty lose such a devout believer."
"Miss Astrid of the Free Tribal Alliance, have you ever thought about it...... Perhaps it is not that the great savior no longer provides refuge, but that ...... You've long since broken off the true Sacred Emblem lineage? ”
Hearing these strange words, Astrid became more and more vigilant:
"You...... Who the hell is it? What do you want to say? ”
The mysterious voice chuckled:
"I am a dependant of my lord and a propagator of my lord's glory."
"Miss Astrid, I respect you for your faith in our Lord, but it is a pity...... You're trying in the wrong direction. ”
"Take a closer look with your heart, take a look...... What should the emblem under the crown look like? ”
The mysterious voice was ethereal, echoing in Astrid's heart.
With the other party's words, Astrid only felt that the totemic mark of the savior in her heart had suddenly changed!
The broken branches gradually close, and the broken patterns slowly recover.
Crimson brilliance shone, and a familiar emblem of thorns and roses slowly popped through Astrid's mind......
A kindness and throbbing that comes from the blood, from the soul, rises in the bottom of Astrid's heart.
