Chapter 508: Cultists
The small world, under Alka's control, opens a portal to the outside.
Connecting to the outside gate, another Tower of Trials flew in from the outside. Then, under the control of Arka, it was placed next to the previous Tower of Trials.
Arka could feel what kind of abilities the towers of trials were connected to each other when the two towers of trial were close enough.
It seems that the twelve towers and the set will have other functions after that.
Arka watched this scene, nodded in satisfaction, reopened the portal, and walked out alone.
Looking at the Guardian of the Church of Our Lady in front of him.
"Thank you for your help."
The captain of the knights at the head also nodded immediately, and crossed his hands.
"Everything is the will of Our Lady, may Our Lady bless you."
"May Our Lady bless you."
After some exchange, Arka and the others went to the harbor and left by boat.
The second Tower of Trials is located directly on an island controlled by the Church of Our Lady.
After all, all islands with Towers of Trials can be considered signpost islands without any island chains.
So from the beginning, it was under the control of the Church of Our Lady, and this Tower of Trials was only open to everyone.
As long as you have a certain strength, you can use it, so it is still famous here, and it can even be said that this is a kind of talent training base for the Church of Our Lady.
So Arka, they just came all the way, put away the tower and left directly. There is no obstacle in the middle, and it is exceptionally smooth and comfortable.
Above deck, Arka looked at the intelligence booklet in his hand.
I couldn't help but sigh: "The next tower may have to solve the problem by force." ”
The third tower is one of the three forces that are unwilling to peacefully hand over control of the tower to the Church.
"Let's hope that the problem can be resolved in a more peaceful way." Xia Daiti said beside him.
The first two towers are collected in a very peaceful way, like a tour. In addition to being constantly in a hurry to make people irritable.
But I have to say that the Boundless Sea is indeed too big.
The journey of the first two towers took them nearly half a year.
Almost all of the time was spent on the road.
And the reason why it took such a short time from the World Scar to the two towers. It's all because these two towers are relatively close to each other, in addition to being close to the scars of the world, plus the speed of their ships has increased, so it is only within half a year.
Even the next tower won't be far away, at least it is guaranteed that all three towers will be collected within a year. But then it's more troublesome.
At this time, Arka is holding the latest information from the world's scars.
"Hasn't the demon started a big counterattack yet?"
Hearing Xia Daiti's question, Arka shook his head.
"According to the intelligence, both sides should still be accumulating their strength. The demons still maintain their most basic offensive strength, and have no response to the advance of the defensive line.
But all the scout teams are basically not allowed to get close to the core area of the Demon Zone. And I can feel the abyssal aura getting heavier and heavier, even if there is already a dream realm suppressing it.
It is self-evident that the demons are drawing power, and now the situation of the world scars is more tense. ”
Arka said something about the in-service.
"These ships are supposed to be carrying the supplies and some personnel that the world needs for Scar, right?" Juanlu said as he looked at the ships that had crossed by the Sound of Dawn.
They had just left the port.
These ships have a distinct symbol of the Church of Our Lady, and it can be judged by the depth of the draft that these ships are almost full of cargo, and many people can be seen on them.
Most of these people are relatively strong.
It seems that the Church of Our Lady is transporting support to the front.
Looking at this scene, Julia sighed silently: "I hope our trip goes smoothly and we can go around and go back as quickly as possible." ”
Even though I prayed in this way, even if I went around the circle, it took me as little as 10 years.
And all the time wasted along the way is on the road.
Even though the Sound of Dawn was already controlling the wind and water elementals, it was speeding across the sea.
But the speed of this acceleration is only the time it takes for them to hurry, from more than ten years to about eight or nine years.
With the voyage, I gradually came to the vast sea area where no one was around.
Arka enters the small world.
However, the area he came to was the Gobi on the edge of the world.
A huge condensed dark cloud overhead, with electric flashes on the surface.
The entire area was filled with active thunder elementals, and Arka's hair had begun to float straight up as soon as he arrived.
Even the central Tower of Thunder has been renovated by them, but now it has completely become a Tower of Thunder.
It converts the surrounding mana into active thunder elements, stimulating the activity of the surrounding elements, making it easier to coalesce together.
The active thunder element produced even caused some small stones on the ground to float in mid-air.
You can see the back of the dark clouds, a spatial rift is open all the time, and Alka's thunder card is still attached to it.
With a two-pronged approach, the current state of thundercloud development is getting better and better.
Arka floats up.
A cloud of thunder elemental beings made of dark clouds and lightning floated down.
A new thunder tribe has been created, and some of the power of the clouds has been mixed in.
These thunder elements are cloud-shaped, and their surfaces are covered with electric light, and as they move, they can also see their elongated electric tails.
The dark clouds only play a wrapping role in the shape of the core thunder element, making the thunder element float, faster and more labor-saving.
By the way, the long-range caused by the attack is farther away, and it may also be able to play a defensive role when attacked.
This is also the appearance of Arka's special blend over the years.
Speaking of which, it can no longer be called a complete thunder element, it can be called a thundercloud element.
Of course, it is still essentially based on the thunder element, but with a more useful appearance.
It is equivalent to adding a layer of armor with strange functions.
Looking at the development of the thunder element in front of him, Arka nodded, and he felt the electric light sensation from his fingers.
It seems that it is impossible to be a pet.
Even if the thunder element itself does not want to attack, the lightning that comes with it will cause those who want to touch it to be shocked.
Not to mention that Alka's strength had already reached the seventh stage, and he could still feel this tingling feeling, which was simply an attack for a slightly lower-level person whose body was not strong.
Ordinary mortals are more likely to be able to feel the thunder elemental sting their skin when they get close to here.
"Go, go back."
Hearing Arka's words, the thundercloud drifted towards the dark clouds above him.
The size of this thunder element is the size of Arka's head, but this is the largest of the entire thundercloud tribe, and it belongs to the position of the leader.
There are only a dozen elements in total in the entire Thundercloud Tribe.
More of them are still in an embryonic state of fusion growth, and it will take more time to completely let the whole deficiency grow.
Take your time, Arka is not in a hurry.
……
The sound of dawn galloped across the sea, the wind whipped behind the ship, and the whole ship swept across the sea like a yacht. The bow of the ship cut through the sea, forming two curtains of water and splashing up in both directions.
Under the control of the current, although the boat is speeding quickly, the overall experience of the sound of dawn does not have any bumps, but is very stable.
Alternating between the two, the sound of dawn is like a sports car on the sea.
All that was left was a long white mark.
"There's a ship?" At the top of the canopy, there is a tree house woven of vines.
Jason was in the treehouse, looking into the distance with a telescope, and couldn't help but say.
"Raise it up."
Hearing this, the branches under the entire treehouse began to grow, and the entire treehouse began to stretch out into the sky.
The height of the tree itself is eight or nine meters, and the top is more than 10 meters. As it extended, it came to a height of twenty or thirty meters.
Jason in the treehouse can now clearly see in the distance from such a high height.
The crystal-filled telescope saw a sailboat approaching in their direction, slanted ahead. So no matter how fast the sound of dawn is, there is a good chance that the two will collide together.
However, to Jason's surprise, they were able to meet other ships around such a vast sea area, which can be described as fate.
As he looked closer, Jason sensed something was wrong.
"Just be informed, a ship is approaching, and something is wrong."
A tinkling sound appeared on the ship.
In a few moments, all the people on the ship gathered.
By this time, since the two ships were close to each other and not slow, when they reached the deck, they could already see the black dots that were heading towards them in the distance.
Soon the figure of the black dot is getting closer and closer.
"Something is wrong, get ready for battle." Jason's voice came from above everyone's heads.
At this time, everyone could see the appearance of the ship from a distance, and why Jason would say something was wrong.
The entire ship was a dark red color, as if it had dried up with blood.
The stern is a pile of dry bones with sharp horns.
The three erected masts were hung with black sails, and the black color outlined the ship's logo in white.
The whole sign is like a child's graffiti, and it is unusually evil and weird.
Some of them look like skeletons, but they're a little different.
But overall, the ship has completely shown that it is not a normal merchant ship.
Later, when they got closer, they saw some decorations on the ship, all kinds of dry bones attached to the side of the body, and even the hanging corpse could be seen on the side of the ship.
Many of the corpses were mutilated, even peeled off to reveal flesh, and most of the corpses were rotting and swollen.
Seeing this appearance, Arka had no desire to communicate with this ship at all.
"Ready!"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
"Attack!"
The sound fell, and one cannon after another protruded from the side of the hull, but the shape of this cannon was also made entirely of vines.
But what came out were one fireball after another, a concentrated elemental cannonball.
Under the autonomous control of the Sound of Dawn, the shot was very accurate, and smashed into the enemy's ship in an arc for a split second, instantly igniting.
Something sharp and piercing came out of the bow.
Then a spear pierced by the condensed hurricane instantly smashed through the bow of the enemy's ship, revealing a deep hole.
After the enemy received two attacks, a faint blood-red shield was raised.
A golden light flashed in Arka's eyes as he looked at the sailboat in the distance.
"Break their masts and incapacitate them."
Hearing Arka's words, thunder flashed.
This time, it was a dense burst of electric light that hit the enemy's blood-red shield.
But apparently, although the Voice of Dawn has good attack power, these attacks are not very strong when combined.
Simon made his way to the top of the stern and took control of the space cannon to fire at the enemy.
The gray energy mass smashed directly on the shield, breaking the shield in an instant.
Their naval attacks were too accurate.
Then a large number of lightning strikes passed, instantly hitting the enemy's three masts, and they burst into flames.
Controlling the flow of water to rotate around the enemy, he loses his ability to move and stops completely with the slow rotation of the current.
"Lean over and stay alert."
With that, everyone prepared for battle, and the sound of dawn slowed down and slowly leaned towards the enemy. Shields have been raised to defend against enemy attacks.
As they got closer and closer, the situation on the ship was also revealed in front of everyone, so that everyone couldn't help frowning, and enough disgust flashed in their eyes.
On this deck, it's like a slaughterhouse.
The ship's sailors, dressed like pirates, were fighting fires.
Seeing that Arka and the others approached, the two figures jumped directly towards their boat, trying to jump.
Looking at the two figures in the air, Arka frowned.
Reach out and shake it.
The arms composed of two currents of water protruded from the surface of the sea in an instant, holding the two figures firmly in the palms of the current.
The ice-blue card appeared, and the water immediately froze into ice, making the two unable to move at all.
The elements, as well as the ropes formed by the fog of dreams, were tied to the two of them.
Two chains of souls shot out of Lucilia's hands and bound them together, binding their bodies and souls together.
In this way, their souls can be prevented from escaping.
The scene on the ship had already caused everyone to knock the people on this ship into the same situation as the cultists, so they were afraid that the two who jumped up could be disguised by the Abyss Demon.
Controlling his two arms, he lifted the two who had jumped in front of him, and Arka looked at them.
"The thick abyss aura is really a group of cultists."
And the two cultists in front of them were also painted with all kinds of evil runes.
The strength is also the level of the first four stages, and the other is the consummation of the four stages. After a closer look, these two should be the two strongest on the ship.
For them, it's a little minion.
Seeing this, Arka turned to the others and said.
"There is not a single cult map left, let's see if there are any people on the ship who have been caught by them."
Nodding, Bororo and Jason jumped straight onto the enemy's deck.
Simon and Urullius followed.
The rest remained on the Sound of Dawn.
Then came the screams of the cultists. In the face of these cultists, everyone doesn't know how many scars they have killed in the world, and they have a strong ability to distinguish and kill without mercy.
As for the enemy's retaliation, there is no point.
"Say, is it a coincidence or is it coming towards us specifically?" Alka asked.
This is important.
If it's a coincidence, that's fine, but if it's specifically coming towards them, then there are some questions worth pondering.
Arka involuntarily thought of the Devouring Mouth.
The two cultists who were caught did not have any change in their expressions, and looked at Arka listening to his question, and suddenly their expressions showed evil.
Shouted loudly.
"For the destruction of the world, for the abyss!"
As soon as they finished speaking, gray and black flames directly ignited on the bodies of the two of them, and in the burning fire, there seemed to be a blood-red color.
The flames were scorching the bodies of the cultists, and even their souls.
It was part of some kind of ritual, and they were ready to die.
In just a few seconds, the two cultists were burned to ashes, and the treasures on their bodies fell.
Fell to the deck below.
At this moment, the corpses, blood, and bones embedded in the entire ship began to move, as if they had formed some kind of ritual.
The blood melted from the corpse.
And the enemies they had just killed were also turned into blood at the beginning of the ritual.
Those who have not yet had time to be killed by them are also wailing and melting as they run.
Seeing this, everyone jumped out of the ship.
Lifted by the clouds controlled by Ulullius, it floated around the ship. The Arka on the Sound of Dawn also watched this scene, ready to fight at any time.
"This ritual can't be stopped, it's already embedded with this ship, and it's ready to be activated at any time." Urullius said.
Then, in the formation of scarlet blood, a pool of blood began to appear. Pools of blood began to bubble on the deck, and the entire ship seemed to be covered in a layer of blood.
A demon emerged from the pool of blood, and the scarlet pool of blood seemed to turn into his red skin.
"I smell blood, mortals offering your souls for me to eat your flesh.
Hello Click! ”
As he came out of the declaration, there was that strange shrill laugh like a jam.
A demon whose strength has reached the apex of the sixth stage.
For these people who are performing the ceremony, it is indeed worth the amount of energy and life they have expended.
However, when he completely emerged from the pool of blood, he saw Arka and the others gathered around the ship.
The whole demon immediately stood in place, as if frozen.
Apparently he recognized Arka and the others.
Without hesitation, the body began to tear and seemed to be engaged in suicidal activities.
However, at this time, the blood pool changed again, and the demon actually followed the previous humans, turning into blood, and his wailing could be heard.
These people were not made by Arka, but they were part of the ritual, and there was a hidden part of the ritual.
It's weird and evil.
This time, the thicker pool of blood turned into a round worm maw full of sharp teeth, what a familiar way.
For Arka, they are all too familiar.
A demon emerged from the maw.
"Well, guys, it's been a long time."
