Chapter 36: The Night Without Light (Seeking Reading)
The change in the night sky caught everyone's eyes, and it was as if someone was stirring the waters of the starry river.
The brilliant stars were stretched into one line after another, and then the galaxy seemed to finally be unable to claim to be able to hold on, and it directly shattered, and a piece of pure darkness appeared in the night sky.
"That's what you've been waiting for?"
A monk in a red robe looked at the old man in front of him, the first seat of the Dark Moon Sage, a person who was still loyal even if he was not watched by the Void Moon.
They used to be good friends, but everything changed a hundred years ago.
"The false starry sky forged by the false gods, even if it can obscure the light of grace for a while, will eventually be broken."
The old man's robe was like night, covered with stars of various colors, and on his chest was a bright moon.
While the two of them were talking, all the concepts related to fire in this world collapsed at this moment, although this time was not long, but it meant that there was something wrong with the god who controlled the power of fire.
Immediately after, a golden meteor pierced through the darkness and came towards the world, and after that meteor was an endless river of blood that followed like tentacles, as if to hold the golden meteor in his hand.
Are you kidding.
The cardinal hurriedly flew into the air to help the meteor get out of the predicament, and he was not the only one who thought so.
At this moment, the apostles and above in this world moved one after another, and the legend didn't even have room to interfere.
They all understood what the meteor was.
It was the Godhead that Volcan, the god of fire and forging powers, had thrown into this world, and it contained the faith of all his followers.
Once this Godhead is seized by the evil gods, then all its followers can be converted into His followers along the way.
It's just like the Church of the Luna, except that Vulcan is different from Juno.
Although the moon god Juno has gradually risen in the orc court, the mainstream belief of the orcs is still the god of war, so the crisis of the year is still under control.
This time, Vulcan is the mainstream belief of the dwarves, and once it is taken over by the evil gods, then there will be a country that believes in the evil gods in this world.
At that time, the strength of the cults of all parties will be able to join the group to keep warm, and the whole world will once again return to that bloody dark age.
But......
"Old friend, why don't you talk for a while after a long time?"
The cardinal's path was intercepted, and he was not alone.
The Church of Blood, Golden Dawn, Sneering Theatre...... At this moment, all the cult organizations with names and surnames sent strong men to block the attack and go to the damaged place of the canopy.
It stands to reason that with the current situation of cultists cowering in dark corners, the strong among them will definitely not be able to match the strong of the major churches and countries.
At least in numbers, they were at an absolute disadvantage, but this time the cultists were clearly in a state of being at ease, and they were not trying to defeat the enemy, but only to delay the time to give the Blood Lord a little time.
"Is the strong above the apostles coming to stop us, and the legend is disturbing our rear with a bunch of miscellaneous fish?"
The cardinal understood that the events in the so-called town of Montenegro were merely attracting the attention of the Church of Light.
This kind of thing must have happened in other countries, and everything is because the forces of all parties have no time to care about that godhead.
Of course, it is not powerless at this time, there is a person who does not belong to the forces of the parties, and at the same time has enough strength.
"You're going to let Leon fall?"
The demigod Leon, who does not belong to any force, and who can appear anywhere at any time, such a person is simply a time bomb for cultists.
Every time they give them a big fight when they want to live.
It's okay to do it once or twice, but this guy has destroyed the sΓ©ance rituals of the cultists at least a dozen times, not to mention the cultists, even the evil gods feel that this is almost compelling.
It's time for him to rest.
"He's the strongest demigod, and in this age when the gods don't come, who can let him fall? Of course, if he were to die himself, that would be another matter. β
Will Leon face the evil god head-on?
Anyone who knows Leon knows how proud that man is, and now that all forces are unable to get close to the soon-to-be-captured godhead, he is the only one who can move freely.
It's not that if you don't go, you'll be laughed at, but the demigod really wants to know how he's different from a true god.
A streamer of light rose from the north, and none of the demigods who didn't have long eyes tried to stop them.
No one knew how much demigod blood the man had on his hands, and they were curious about how big the gap was between the demigods and the true gods.
Here it comes.
The golden light cut off the tentacles stretched out by the river of blood, and the strongest demigod held the godhead of the god of fire in his hand, completely ignoring the surging river of blood behind him, just quietly playing with this godhead.
"Tsk~ It's useless."
Leon saw through the essence of the so-called Godhead at a glance, which was just a transit point for gathering faith to reserve faith, purify faith, and link believers.
Although the strength of the gods requires the assistance of the godhead, this is not the reason why the gods are strong, so this is something that is not important to Leon, so ...... Smash it.
A crack appeared above the Godhead, and the power of faith in it began to drain away, returning to this world, and a roar of anger was heard behind Leon.
The medium through which they had come to infect believers and corrupt them was now crushed by Leon in such a wasteful way.
You know, it's not an easy thing to let a god fall.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet."
Leon stretched out his other hand, and those scattered starlight began to converge towards his hand, facing the tentacles of the river of blood that almost completely surrounded him, he completely crushed the godhead in his hand, and at the same time, more dazzling light burst out from his hand.
The tentacles of the evil god were directly smashed, and the seemingly impenetrable tentacles collapsed directly under the starlight, and the fragments of the godhead scattered from the gap.
In an instant, it disappeared from everyone's perception.
β¦β¦
"It's finally here."
Doris watched the starlight in the sky dim at this moment, and the flames spreading in the town dissipated at this moment, and she understood that the time had finally come for Carter to make her wait.
Then her vision was obscured by the blood.
Anna didn't know what the Lightless Night was, or what Doris's purpose was, but she knew that something was going on and that it was clearly not on her side.
Then the answer is simple, kill each other before Doris completes her plan, then everything is settled.
Just as the Blood Blade was about to cut Doris's neck, the earth collapsed, and Doris fell directly into the endless abyss, and in the abyss, a creature with a huge hideous mouthpart broke through the ground.
"Buy me time, Drill Worm."
"Roar~"
The Driller had been summoned by Doris to head underneath the church, and now that the time was ripe to finally break through the ground, the purpose was only to delay Anna's pace.
"Anna, do you want to protect those children?"
The malicious words lingered in Anna's ears, and she couldn't understand why Doris was so obsessed with the children in the church.
Joshua had told her that the more panicked she was, the calmer she became, but the Drill Worm didn't intend to let her go.
"Give it to me...... Get lost. β
Anna was furious.
The blade of blood sliced through the smooth and sturdy skin of the Ground-Drilling Demon Worm with the Sword of the Branch, and even drew the opponent's blood to counter the Earth-Drilling Demon Worm.
However, the loss and injury of this blood was not taken into account by the Driller Worm at all.
Its excellent resilience caused it to ignore all of Anna's attacks and go crazy to delay Anna.
Even a person who doesn't know how to fight can see that Anna is in an absolute advantage, but Anna's pace is indeed delayed.
"Welcome, Lightless Night."
Doris pulled out a test tube, and in the tube there was a river of stars flowing through it, as if it were a splash of color taken from the night sky, and any senior clergyman knew that it was not a good thing.
It was the sealed barrier, the Nightless Night.
"Po~"
The cork on the test tube was removed, and the calm "night sky" inside the test tube rushed directly out of the test tube, covering the entire sky.
This vision was immediately noticed by members of the Predator Brotherhood outside of Black Mountain, and the Lightless Night was the signal for the ritual to begin.
They drew their weapons, and the chill characteristic of metal weapons began to spread, and the sacrificial offerings in the sacks seemed to sense something.
They struggled violently, but they couldn't stop the Grim Reaper from approaching.
Blood flowed out of the sack and soaked the earth, seeping into the river, flowing along the engraved mark Doris had prepared, but it was not enough.
Blood, not enough.
So they swung their knives at themselves, and when the blood of the last of them dried up, the dark red lines began to light up, and a strong smell of blood began to permeate the lightless night.
The smell of blood apparently irritated the local guards and the Templars who had just returned.
"Where's the smell of blood?"
"I don't know, and the torches were extinguished inexplicably, and the fires in the town ......"
"What about Captain Adolf? ...... the hell he is?"
"Wait, who's coming?"
β¦β¦
The smell of blood made everyone nervous, which made them uneasy, and sharpened their senses.
Although they did not come close to the side, they did not know who was fighting, and they did not dare to peep at the battle over there, but they did not let their guard down.
In such a situation, I naturally found a figure walking slowly.
"Don't worry, it's me."
Doris walked up to the Templars, who were obviously relieved by her presence, and although Adolf was not there, the presence of a Grandmaster Templar was undoubtedly a pinnacle for them.
"Miss Doris, were you fighting the cultists just now?"
"How's the battle going? If you need us, please ask for it. β
"Do you know where Captain Adolf is?"
β¦β¦
Doris smiled as the knights approached unsuspectingly, as she pretended to think.
"Adolf? I'll send you to him. β
At some point, Doris came behind the knights, the icy summer wind across their necks, and then the heavens and the earth swirled, and red rain fell in their last vision.
"No matter how many times you look at it, it's so beautiful, and the way blood gushes out of your skull."
Doris laughed, and the fact that she had to maintain a clumsy female knight personality on weekdays left her little time to devote herself to her wailing.
Now let her vent.
"Doris."
There was a roar behind Doris, and at the same time, there was the wail of the Drill Worm, although the sound was getting closer and closer, but the more anxious the other party was, the more it proved that they could not come to stop it in a short time.
"Don't worry, Anna, there are enough sacrifices for the advent ceremony, and there is no need for those children for the time being, but fear is my lord's favorite dessert, and I will prepare it for it."
For the few elite guards in front of her, Doris nailed them to the wall like a cross with little effort.
Blood was pouring out of their wounds, but there was no way to stop it.
"Sure enough, the Grandmaster is still quite valuable."
Looking at the "artwork" she made, Doris felt that it was not herself but the town that had the problem.
But all the problems will end today.
"Jessica, you're here."
kicked open the door, and the bloodied Doris Mo said that she was a child, and the adults on the side were all excited.
However, before they could react, the sudden gravitational force from the ground directly pressed them to the ground.
Although she has been deflated, Doris is indeed a genius who has two days off in magic and martial arts.
"Come, offer dessert to my lord."
Doris snapped her fingers, and countless thorns rose from the ground, which skillfully avoided the mortal wound, but when the warm blood began to flow, fear inevitably began to creep in.
As for Jessica, who was the target, she was too scared to speak at this time.
"Don't be afraid, it is your supreme honor to be the vessel of the coming of the Son of God."
Doris's mouth snapped, and then a stream of red light emerged from the ground, the Advent circle she had secretly set up these days using her position as a Templar.
At this time the sacrifices have been offered, the lightless night as a barrier, the containers have been placed on the altar, and fear has been served as a dessert.
"Come down, Son of God."
Above the pitch-black sky, a blood-colored point of light appeared, and then its growing crimson blood remained.
Among them, there was a pillar of light that enveloped Jessica and Doris's bodies.
It was the preparation for the coming of the Son of God and the reward given to Doris.
Although the process was tortuous, and it could even be said that it was not smooth, but Doris did complete the Son of God's advent ceremony, so the reward should not be less.
"Strength, start to come and go, and soon I'll be ......"
"Will you be able to get out of my grasp?"
The banter words came to Doris's mind, and she would never be mistaken, it was Carter's voice.
The voice of the Darkmoon Sage.
