This sudden scene made Mackintosh's eyes widen, and he froze for a while before realizing what had happened.

"Who!?"

In a roar of rage, scarlet corpse poison like a mist seeped out of his body and rushed towards the bridge of flesh maggots above his head.

"Bang Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a rain of worms in the air, and a large number of maggots stiffened and fell, and they twisted into black worms when they landed.

However, even so, the meat maggot bridge is still in the air, the scale is not reduced, and the tumbling is not stopped.

- But it is maggots that spontaneously divide and multiply to fill the void of death.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Mackintosh's face grew angrier, and skull-like decapitators emerged from his body, trying to attack the sudden maggots.

"Ding—"

Unexpectedly, a crisp bell suddenly sounded in his ears.

This made his face change drastically.

This was a reminder he had set aside to prevent himself from falling into the glory of the inhabitants of darkness and forgetting to perform the send-off ritual.

Suddenly, his face became cloudy.

According to the law set by Niyogda, at this time, the gift of human sacrifice has been fulfilled, and it is impossible for the dweller of darkness Niyogda to perform a second blessing.

Now, even if he killed the mysterious thief, he couldn't change the course of the ritual.

Or rather, by the time the maggots stole the fruits of his ritual, it was all over.

Thinking of this, he stared at the fleshy maggot bridge with bloodshot eyes, and countless vicious thoughts flowed through his heart.

Eventually, however, he raised the ring cross and aimed it at the Dark Dweller Niyogda, preparing to recite the Brilliant Viraj incantation and perform the send-off ritual.

What remains of reason tells him that it is a foregone conclusion.

The best thing for him to do now is to make mistakes and follow them step by step.

Banish the dweller of darkness Nijogda back to the crimson abyss as soon as possible, or all present will be reduced to His food.

Including himself!

For the sake of a mistake, to bury the future, he is not so stupid.

However, just as he opened his mouth to chant the spell of the glorious Virageh, a dazzling scene occurred.

I saw that the huge mouth that had descended the gift suddenly cracked, re-decomposed into countless twisted black tentacles, and then with a "boom", it suddenly retracted into the spatial crack at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

All this happened so fast.

By the time Mackintosh reacted, the palpitating aura of terror had quickly subsided and retreated into darkness.

Even the spatial cracks that covered the earth closed silently, and the earth was still intact.

"It's-"

Mackintosh jaw-dropping!

He only felt his heart beating like thunder, pounding and pounding against his eardrums.

The Dweller of Darkness Nijogda actually left on his own initiative?

How is this possible?

I don't know how many times the Night Banqueters have sacrificed, and this has never happened?

Could it be that there is an even more terrifying existence approaching, so he will avoid the edge?

The thought of this possibility made Mackintosh's heart skip a beat.

He knew that it was not surprising that any summoning ritual could cause an accident and attract the eyes of passing spirits and even gods.

Thinking of this, he glared at the maggots in the sky with resentment.

As his heart moved at will, his body suddenly went limp, turned into a puddle of foul-smelling pus, and escaped through the gap in the wooden platform, into the dark passage that had been prepared long ago, and escaped.

All that remained was a robe with a hood that had lost its owner, stacked on a wooden platform.

At this moment, Li Shenzhi was dumbfounded.

He looked at Mackintosh, who was rapidly leaving, as Macintosh did when he saw the Dark Dwellers.

This, this escapes?

In other words, he is also ready to directly destroy this part of the clone to avoid the war!

Why did you run away all of a sudden?

Could it be that the master of the Sheriff's Department is here?

Li Shen's heart moved, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

After all, he had already issued a warning that the murderer might be in the farm.

Then it is very likely that the Sheriff's Office will investigate along this clue.

Thinking of this, he did not dare to linger any longer, and frantically drove the maggots into the earth and fled.

It is worth mentioning that when the maggots fell into the earth, he also spewed out a blazing flame to incinerate the dead maggots on the ground into ashes.

In addition, in order to prevent being followed to discover the real body.

He simply abandoned the doppelganger and drove it to flee into the River Tame and feed the fish.

After making sure that every maggot was destroyed by the fish, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The moonlight is like water, and the stars are shining.

In the apartment at No. 22 Lister Street, Li Shenzhi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

The transition between movement and stillness made him feel in a trance.

At this time, he could clearly feel that Langdon's body had undergone subtle changes.

There was an extra force in him.

To be precise, it's more of an authority, like a siren's tear.

【Power of Ashes】

- The cage of the soul, the sigh of the embers of life, the last relic of existence.

That is, it has the power to make the ashes stand up and dominate the corpse dust.

However, this is not the case for all ashes.

The ashes need to meet a prerequisite that the soul has not completely dissipated.

The more souls remain, the stronger the ashes become.

If the soul is intact, the resurrected ashes will have all the strength and wisdom of the deceased, as long as they do not exceed the upper limit of the power of the Dominator.

In other words, if Li Shenzhi controls the ashes of a double embedder, then the power of the ashes of the double embedder will reach the maximum power of Langdon at most, unless Langdon also becomes a double embedder.

In addition, the ashes, also known as corpse dust, have another wonderful use.

- That is, it can block the perception.

This is shelter from the dead.

The stronger the ashes of the deceased, the stronger the shielding effect.

"Is it any wonder that black-robed man named Mackintosh went to great lengths to gain this power?"

"This is equivalent to a copy of the living corpse, huh? And it's the more secretive kind. ”

Li Shenzhi was amazed, and his heart became more and more hot.

At this time, he didn't know that even a living corpse made by a lich could not retain the full power of the deceased.

In order to test the power of the ashes, Li Shenzhi pondered for a while, separated a part of the maggots, ran to the sewer, and caught a few mice back.

He carried a rat in his hand, and a blazing flame burst out of his hand, which ablated upward, and roasted it into a handful of ashes in the rat's oily blood.

And then...... And then there was no then.

The soul of the rat is too weak to remain.

Li Shenzhi burned more than a dozen of them without believing in evil, but he didn't succeed once.

"It seems that low-level creatures have no qualifications to become servants of the ashes at all! That's right, even if the rat soul is retained through special techniques, this low-level creature is difficult to drive, after all, the intelligence is too low. ”

"I heard that witches can create an artificial slave called a human-faced mouse, with the appearance of a rat and a human mind, and if there is a chance, you can transform a few to try."

Li Shenzhi thought to himself secretly, but when he thought of the power of the ashes binding to Langdon, he suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart.

The stronger Langdon's body is, the more reluctant he is to abandon it!

Hopefully, the mighty forces can delay the arrival of decay!

However, the preparations that need to be made must be completed as soon as possible.
