Chapter 96: ...... with home delivery

Seeing Douglas's gesture, Father Schultz did not immediately express his position, but looked sideways at the young blood siblings.

And Antina and Antonia, who suddenly became alert, actually didn't know what was going on. It seems that what makes them nervous is not some movement or smell, but a premonition from the depths of the spirit.

This premonition is inextricably linked to danger and death in the memories of the two, but it is difficult to describe to others...... The siblings looked at each other silently, and Antonia slowly raised her hand, hesitated for a moment before drawing a symbol.

Diagonally downward, to the right, diagonally upward, a triangle, and then, a small cross is drawn below the bottom edge.

This is the symbol for sulfur in alchemy.

Although Douglas did not distinguish it at a glance, Father Schultz knew its meaning very well - in the classical occult fields such as alchemy and alchemy, the foundation of the Mother Earth Church is very rich.

He nodded slightly, then extended his arm to signal that Douglas could move.

Seeing that the priest chose to take the initiative to probe it, a thick black mist spread behind Antina, and many palm-sized illusory bats conjured out, silently flying and extinguishing all light sources in the underground rooms and corridors, without even setting off half a wisp of airflow.

The underground light source is for teammates like Douglas who don't have the ability to see dark, and for the Bloodline, leaving only the dark environment illuminated by moonlight is the best environment!

She also took a few Unreal Bats to Jessica's room, where she was taking care of Annes, to remind her teammates that things had changed and that they were ready.

Antonia stepped out of the door calmly and silently, slowly approaching the spiraling staircase. His hands were slightly raised in front of him, and his long, sharp and slender nails stretched out, faintly flashing with mysterious patterns and symbols.

With the help of Father Schultz's solid arm, Douglas easily opened a vague door emitting a soft blue light on the nearly three-meter-high ceiling, and sent himself to the first floor of the Harvest Church.

This location corresponds to the washroom on the first floor. Douglas adjusted the charms and bullets to make them easy to access, and left the building with a bend and through the wall, and sped along the golden faΓ§ade to the gate with plant-like reliefs.

Douglas scrutinized it and found that the door appeared to be closed, but the metal lock was badly damaged, and the deadbolt was simply gone, leaving some burn marks on the surrounding metal.

Someone did come in...... The "apprenticeship" route can be ruled out. Being able to manipulate such a hot flame is possible for "Hunter", "Witch", "Secret Prayer", and "Demon", and these ways are also very advantageous in hiding their tracks...... He quietly opened an illusory door, silently entered, and quickly glanced at the prayer hall, which had little furnishings except for rows of benches and pulpits.

In the wee hours of the morning, although there were some candles left in the hall, the range of illumination was quite limited, and the crimson moonlight flowing in the shadows blurred the outlines of things, and Douglas carefully distinguished, and knocked on his vision, but found no human figures or anomalous traces.

Antonia they feel wrong? No, the spiritual intuition of the Extraordinary cannot be easily denied...... The strings of vigilance in Douglas's heart tightened a little more, and he stretched out his hand and grasped it weakly in front of him.

Layers of milky white mist suddenly evaporated, and in an instant, it spread and filled the entire hall, making the air damp and heavy, and the light of the candles and moonlight even more hazy.

He guarded the gate and waved his arm again, creating a not weak air flow out of thin air, and squeezed the fog backwards with a "hula", clearing out a small area with unobstructed vision, and then large or small bright and dazzling light clusters were thrown into this area, tearing apart the shadows and tearing them apart.

Fog and flashes, the former targeting the "witch"-like optical stealth and the latter targeting the "secret prayer" with the ability to hide with shadows, alternately "clean" all the corners of the hall. Other higher-end hiding methods that will not be simply ruled out, Douglas didn't think about it at all, first, he couldn't stop it if he considered it, and second, if the infiltrator had this kind of ability to come without a shadow, he would have done it a long time ago, and there was no need to wait at all.

The "Master of Tricks" Douglas, who was close to digesting and had drunk potions twice, had a much stronger grasp of various types of spells than before, and although the damage was still so touching, the church's tactical positioning for him had always been to create opportunities with interference, rather than solving problems alone. Creating such a step-by-step posture is just to put some pressure on the hider and force the other party to respond, and it is certainly better to force the other party directly into the corridor to face Antonia.

However, after such a "touch", Douglas was stunned and did not find any movement, as if the operation just now was a battle of wits and courage with the air.

At this time, Father Antonia and Father Schulz, who had come straight up from the ground, also came to the hall, and the latter still held the "Nightmare Candle" with a pimple on the surface.

Before Douglas could speak, his eyes suddenly became confused, and he vaguely saw that the images in his memory overlapped with reality, and he saw that all his actions had just been repeated strangely like rewind.

The feeling came and went quickly, and after a sudden awakening, Douglas nodded to himself when he saw Antonia help extinguish the "Nightmare Candle" in Father Schultz's hand.

This is, this is using the "Nightmare Candle" to confirm that I am not an enemy fake? Hey, the priest really has a work ethic, he has seen it all, but he doesn't even watch a little more...... Douglas's tense body and mind gradually relaxed, and he walked closer to the two.

Halfway through, he caught a glimpse of a small metal object under the bench reflecting a faint crimson moonlight, and he turned his head sideways to take a closer look, and saw that it was an octagonal angular silver coin.

On the upward side of the coin, a raised pattern depicts three blood-stained spears pointing towards the sky.

It is the emblem of the Einhorn family, and it is the anti-counterfeiting pattern on the Fersak coin.

Douglas's eyes froze, and his heartbeat seemed to miss half a beat.

How can there be a coin of Vrsack here......

As the thought crossed his mind, the ground shook with the sound of a dull explosion that caused the silver Fursack coin to bounce and fall, and Douglas staggered and staggered.

Antonia, who had a particularly keen senses, had a premonition before the explosion sounded, and immediately turned into a whirlwind composed of countless illusory bats and swept towards the road to the underground; As a "cultivator" who is closely connected with the earth, Father Schulz's face sank, and he squatted down on the spot, pressed his hands to the ground, and whispered: "O merciful mother goddess, you are the source of life......

As he chanted, Douglas, who had just stabilized his figure, was surprised to see a strong spiritual light burst out from the huge life emblem hanging on the wall!

The emblem of springs, ears of wheat, and babies seemed to come to life, and the pale green illusory spring swept down with a roar, and the ground it flowed on, whether it was a rocky floor or a wooden bench, quickly decayed and disappeared, becoming nutrients for the moist earth; As soon as the images of ears of wheat and plant branches and leaves hit the ground, they grew wildly, and the tangled roots dug deep into the soil and spread downward.

And the abstract baby sucked on its fingers and let out a crying moan.

The sound was extremely small, but it seemed to sound directly in the mind, and there was no way to get rid of it. Douglas listened to this voice, and a tender desire for protection gradually surged in his heart, like a mother who can't help but hold her crying child in her arms and kiss and comfort him.

Douglas sincerely felt that anything that made children cry in fear was wrong, like a pest in a wheat field that gnaws at grain, like a leaf that wastes nutrients when it is cold, should be expelled and uprooted!

However, the silver coin of Fursack in front of him constantly evoked another emotion in him, the anxiety and uneasiness of a frightened bird of a man with many secrets.

Between the hedging of two emotions or desires, Douglas barely kept his mind clear, quickly reached out and grabbed the silver Fusak coin and stuffed it deep into his pocket, and then also rushed to the underground entrance, pulled out the revolver in his hand, followed the guidance of spiritual intuition, and quickly filled the magazine with a "purification bullet" carved with a series of symbols such as the sun and the masculine in gold.

Douglas turned his gaze with some concern as he passed Father Schultz, who was half-crouching on the ground, and saw that the priest pressed his palms to the ground, his muscles bulging, and his exposed skin gradually creeping up to an earthy brown. From the perspective of the spiritual vision, it can be seen that the priest is trying his best to urge the spirit, and the lush vegetation around him almost completely covers his body, showing a protective posture.

Sensing Douglas passing by, Father Schultz raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Fight me three minutes." ”

The priest's still steady and mellow voice made Douglas's uneasiness in his heart lessen a little, and he solemnly responded: "Good! ”

He no longer hesitated, and jumped down directly from the ground through a "door"!

The hot air, filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, instantly dried his short hair, which was slightly drenched with sweat. Douglas puffed up the "wind technique" with all his might, and while the "door" he had opened had not completely disappeared, he exchanged a wave of clean air coming in, barely keeping his breathing smooth.

At this point, the church's underground structure had been destroyed to the point where it was unsightly untouched, partly because the roots of the plants that had taken root downwards in a rage had easily crushed the rocks, and partly because of the intruders who kept throwing fireballs of sulfur to expel the plants.

As if sensing Douglas's gaze, the guy turned his head slightly, clearly showing his smiling green eyes under the cover of gray hair in the constantly exploding light and shadow.

With just one glance, Douglas immediately recognized the other party!

It was a demigod who was promoted to the "devil" in front of him and destroyed most of the city by himself. Townsend!

He jerked up the muzzle of his gun and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang!

Five pale golden bullets shot out one after the other, dragging the tail of flames.

However, in the eyes of true demigods, these metal bumps are as slow as caterpillars wriggling. With just a glance at Aven, the bullet was drowned in the brilliant blue flames and melted into a puddle of molten iron.

Seeing that guy's comfortable appearance, Douglas subconsciously stretched out his fingers, and then realized that the "wriggling hunger" was not around!

No, even if you're around, you can't help it, the last time you relied on the "Storm of Light" to fight, this guy was the fifth sequence, and now he's a demigod...... Douglas thought with a calm that surprised even him, and at the same time turned his head to look around, but did not notice Antonia.

They may be buried under the rubble, but these plants should be under the control of the priest to be able to recognize friend and foe, and even if they are buried, there is hope of survival......

Against the demigods, any mistake is enough to kill his teammates hundreds of times, and there is no chance of winning a head-on battle......

Father Schultz said that it would only take three minutes......

The Bloods still have hidden powerhouses in Beckland, as well as the Night and Storm Churches, and with their speed, it won't take too long to arrive......

Douglas slowed down, his arm holding the gun slowly hanging down, the muzzle of the gun pointed to the ground.

He stared at Evan and couldn't help but ask, "Are you...... Coming to me? ”

"Not exactly."

Evan replied as he sideways dodged the sudden burst of thick vines. All the roots of the surrounding plants were tightening and curling around the guy to crush it, but surrounded by the blazing blue and nearly purple flames, Aven was not bothered by this, but walked leisurely as if he was walking in his back garden.

When he turned around completely, Douglas saw Marlene, who Evan could pick up with one hand and lean on the former's shoulder.

Her body looked thinner in Aven's arms, but her eyes reflecting the light of the fire were wide open, watching everything in front of her with interest.

The devil grinned, and said in a good mood, "You already know each other, right?" She's mine...... Well, in layman's terms, my goddaughter. ”

Marlene let out a "huh" and looked up at Evan and then at Douglas, wondering why the two knew each other.

She noticed that the young man who had helped and deceived herself suddenly slumped a little as a knife when he heard the answer, as if he had unloaded something extremely heavy.

Douglas didn't come closer, he also glanced at Marlene, but his eyes were fixed on Evan for a moment, and he asked in a low voice, "How did you find me?" Did she tell you? ”

"You can say yes, you can say no."

Ai Wen touched his chin and explained generously: "Starting from 'demons', depending on the race or the object of sacrifice, we will obtain different unique abilities, and when we reach the demigods, this ability will be further strengthened. And I, I'm the 'Demon of Connection'.

"The so-called 'demon of connection' is a transcendent perception of all kinds of connections, which is even more than divination. The fact that you have helped Marlene is a kind of connection, although it is rather weak, but it seems to me that your actions have had a considerable impact on Marlene's life, which is too conspicuous and too clear. ”

The Demon of Connection? Haven't heard of this ability...... Douglas questioned while taking what Evan said as true: "But I will help Marlene, you will be on the same train as Marlene, Marlene met me again in her first attempt at revenge, these things happened in two or three days, do you think this coincidence can also be explained by your 'connection'?" ”

"'Coincidence'......" Evan laughed, his voice more in line with his approach than that unremarkable face, it was a very elegant and heavy voice, with an innate ability to be convincing, "The audience approach is indeed a troublesome opponent, but it can be seen that you are only trying to stall for time when you are talking to me about this now." ”

"No, if you can see the connection in me, you know that I really know an 'audience.'" Douglas's heart sank, and he watched as Evan suddenly began to pace, but his mouth did not stop.

Evan had walked around the neighborhood a few times, busy driving the sulfur flames to scorch those crazy plants, and lowered his head as if searching for something, and said casually, "Of course, I can see, and even see that the young lady is a real demigod. But does that matter? You've known other demigods since you were in Vrsack, and if you could have used their powers, you'd have rushed up to stop me. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you doing? Unable to refute it, Douglas could only sigh secretly and try to change the subject.

Evan was right, speaking was probably the only thing he could do in front of the demigods - as for calling Amon, Douglas had whispered the name of that one when he jumped off the ground, and received no response, which was even expected by him, and Amon's attitude had always been that Douglas would never do anything superfluous while he was still alive.

Now, as long as Evan is willing to continue the conversation, even if he says a few more words or a few more seconds, he will earn it!

"Don't you ask why I'm coming to you? This should be the most important thing to you. ”

The latter was quite cooperative with him, and did not seem to be afraid of what he would face after the delay, although the plants that filled the underground space had become visibly more and more swollen and manic, and several times had to break through the barrier of sulfur flames, Aven only pressed Marlene's head in his arms with one hand and covered her ears, and then opened and closed his lips, spitting out a demonic voice like a viper: "Die! ”

The swarming branches of the plants suddenly cracked and peeled off, and the black, reddish viscous liquid spread over their wounds, rapidly decomposing and decaying the plants, turning them into a handful of ashes with an indescribable smell.

Then, as if having found a place, Aven stopped on a sloppy stone slab that had fallen to the ground, and the ring of brimstone fire around him gradually widened, driving away the plants and revealing small patches of unconcealed ruins.

Looking at Aven's actions, although Douglas was puzzled, he had a faint feeling of uneasiness brewing in his chest, especially when he checked his memories and found that the place where Evan was standing seemed to correspond to the part of the common room underground.

There was Anise, another girl who had been brought back with Marlene, and Jessica, a colleague of the "Cultivators" who was in charge of taking care of the former......

Douglas's heart beat heavily, as if he thought of something, and immediately shouted: "You ......"

"Shh Evan put his finger to his lips and smiled at him, "It's okay, if you don't ask, I'll tell you too, just as I repay you for saving your life." ”

As he spoke, his body twitched a little, his muscles bulged a little, his black coiled horns came out from under his gray hair, and his slime-hung wings slowly opened, transforming from a human to an inhuman form. Marlene, who was picked up with one hand, had already raised her arm, closed her eyes and covered her ears as the godfather asked, not looking or listening.

"I am the 'Demon of Connection'. When I was promoted to demigod, I saw that there would be a battle between you and me, and I ...... Eventually, you'll be killed. ”

The devil's voice rumbled, as if a thousand mouths were saying the same thing, and the disorganized voice caused Douglas, who was about to rush forward, to stagger, and blood oozed from his nose, ears, and eye sockets.

The loud voice exploded directly in the depths of his mind like the sobbing of the baby before, and it was difficult to resist, Douglas half-knelt on the ground and trembled violently, watching Evan jump on the spot a few times like a child, and his feet that had turned into sheep's hooves smashed the stone slab on which he was standing, and the ground was further dented downward.

In the sound of tooth-aching squeezing, a sudden stream of warm blood gushed out of the crack like a spring, reminiscent of the water jets pouring out when a balloon filled with water bursts.

One after another, the pillars of blood were squeezed out of the cracks as Ai Wen trampled on them, and they splashed on the ground with a warm fishy smell, like a dripping rain.

Douglas's pupils dilate, as if he wanted to take the scene deep into his mind.

Aven's words continued, the sound of the iron scraping as if he was laughing, and the malice overflowing between the words was more turbulent than the blood flowing: "What a nasty ending, and when I'm unhappy, it's used to making others even more unhappy." This is just the beginning, my friend, next time you will change those two bats, you can see that you like them better. ”

As he spoke, he stopped trampling, and the gravel under his feet was completely soaked in blood, gurgling and bubbling.
