Although Ivus doesn't know much about the Crescent Moon Ritual, he also knows that it's a PVP mode.

Everyone is an enemy of each other, and only the winner can be promoted.

The cost of the New Moon Ritual is much greater than that of the Full Moon Ceremony, and even if there is no penalty for failure, the material cost of the ritual is not low. Only those who are confident enough in themselves will perform the crescent moon ritual when they advance. In other words, it's hard to have a mix in this model.

The difficulty of the promotion ceremony will increase with the strength of the participants.

Before embarking on the second path, these transcendents had already come into contact with the upper echelons of society, and as powerful men, they had all kinds of secrets, intelligence, and resources at their disposal. At this time, if you go to the full moon ceremony, it is easy to take a group of newcomers who are difficult to cooperate with, and directly enter the ceremony where the difficulty is increased many times.

Therefore, after reaching the apex of the first path, the transcendents will often use the crescent moon ritual to promote their second path. The Crescent Moon Ritual is nothing more than killing each other anyway, so it doesn't matter if you increase the difficulty of the ritual.

When you are chased by a bear, you don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than the others.

So, who would be so confident?

- Except for the young and ignorant reckless, that is the senior transcendent who is promoted to the second path.

These people are the latter, and Ivas is going to play the former.

A newcomer who doesn't even know the meaning of "code name", because he is too lucky or too unlucky, he is possessed by the shadow demon and joins the noble red society - such an image.

The pseudonym "Aleister" actually has a special meaning. The meaning that only Ivas himself knows.

The name is a variation of the surname Alexander, and if you pronounce "Alexander" in the iris language, you can pronounce it like this, and then transpose it back to become Aleister. It so happened that Evas's instinctive impulse to transcend the path was inherited from his grandfather, whose surname was Alexander, and his mother was an iris nobleman.

This is also Ivus's own past...... A commemoration of biological parents who have been separated before they have ever met.

As for the Noble Red Society, it was Ivus's early move. It was his foreshadowing of future plans.

- He didn't recognize anyone else, but the old man, codenamed "Thunder", was obviously Inspector Gordon!

With him here to participate in the ceremony, it is tantamount to proving the existence of "Aleister". When Ivus attacks Lloyd's headquarters, the Shadow Fiend's origins become clear, and it is confirmed that he is from the Noble Crimson Society—at least no longer the "Shadow Demon Summoner who popped out of nowhere".

At this moment, another person immediately appeared on the chair beside Ivus.

He wears a very loose gray hoodie, and he can't tell the difference between men and women, or his age.

"I guess you're the one who adapts to the path."

Mr. Antlers was the first to speak: "It's still early, why don't we get to know each other?" I am Antlers, the ascender of the Twilight Path. ”

But at this moment, the other party did not say a word and did not move.

And the antlers continued to persuade with a pleasant face: "I think, you should be a newcomer. But you should know a little bit about the advanced ritual...... Are you also on the second path? On our side, with the exception of this Mr. Aleister, we are all veterans of the second way. We are all very experienced in advanced rituals...... We can totally work together.

"What should I call her? The...... Sir, or Madam? ”

The man in the gray hood tilted his head slightly, but remained silent.

He did not speak or look up, and there was no way to distinguish his face and features. I don't even know what his code name is.

Then came a sixth man—a man whom Ewass still knew. This is exactly what Mr. "Knight" from the last Full Moon Ceremony!

Obviously, he failed to be promoted last time, and this time he decided to be promoted again after only half a month of rest.

But the knight has clearly grown a lot from the last time he was promoted.

Unlike the Gray Hooded Man, Mr. Knight quickly agreed to half of them in the face of the Antlers' wooing.

"For the time being, we can work together to deal with the remaining three."

The knight said solemnly, "But since you will say so to me, I think you will say so to others. You should be inclined to cooperate with the strong man who entered the ritual in front of you compared to me who was pulled in later.

"So at that point, I'll be working with Mr. Aleister and this Mr. Greyhood."

Although the contents of the ceremony were not yet known, the knight spoke unreservedly about his judgment and plans.

It can only be said that the knight has grown partially, but not completely.

"But I'm a demon, boy."

The Shadow Fiend hissed back.

The knight just said seriously: "The identity of the outside world has nothing to do with the ritual, we are competitors, opponents and possible allies. So we should call each other by code names - Mr. Aleister, are you really not going to have a code name? ”

"Let's wait until the ceremony is over." Shadow Fiend didn't care.

After that, Mr. Antlers directly stated to the "knight" that his main path was authoritarian, and reported the other party's brigade and possible location, thus implying that he had a high status within Avalon.

The knight did not know that he had been taught, and repeatedly recited that "the identity of the outside world has nothing to do with the ritual". Although he was a little reasonable, at least he didn't report more information about himself, and he didn't completely believe in Mr. Antlers' persuasion, and he wasn't particularly resentful.

The knight apparently didn't want to talk to them about anything, and he also vaguely advised "Aless" not to continue the conversation with the Antlers. However, in the case that Ivas was deliberate, he was obviously not persuaded.

After persuading the knight twice, he stopped persuading him, and Ivas disguised himself as the character "Arest" to chat with Antlers, Red and Thunder, and through the careful question-and-answer of the three people's hearts and the improvisation of the shadow demon, the image of the character "Arest" gradually became clear-

The current "Aleister" is a young man who has been possessed by demons since he was a child. I used to study in the countryside, and after finishing junior high school, I went to Grey County. His parents were believers, but he himself believed only in the serpent father; When his father died, he inherited a modest inheritance and challenged himself to overcome nature by working throughout Avalon, climbing rocks and mountains, and was accepted by the local noble Red Society when he traveled to Garden City, near the glass island.

Now he has just joined the noble red, and he is not very clear about its purpose and philosophy. However, his "mentor" provided him with a path to promotion and taught him how to perform the rituals. It was the first promotion ceremony he had attempted—and the first time he had planned to do it was because of the boasting of his talent by his guide.

Very reasonable、Exceptionally vivid character design。 There is nothing wrong with the fact that this person does not exist.

Ivus had decided that when the ceremony was over, he would ask Lily to help him recall it and transcribe it and recite it in full.

They chatted for more than an hour, and the atmosphere of sluggishness and silence gradually eased. The knight gradually realized that the demon was not a villain, but a little arrogant - he did not use human materials, but was soaked in blood because of his clumsiness.

- Although the three people on Evas's left side did not believe this, he was sure that Mr. Knight should have believed it.

Because of this, the knight and Mr. Aleister, who is close to the age, also have a good conversation, and the silent gray hood has been gradually ignored.

While chatting, the remaining three also appeared one after another. They were apparently far away from the Glass Island, which is why they were dragged over by the ritual when they couldn't match a suitable transcendent nearby.

The atmosphere is completely different from the full moon ceremony. Neither of the three introduced themselves, nor even their own paths.

One of them was a man so thin that it was reminiscent of rotten wood. His back was slightly stiff, and his black hair, which hung down below his shoulders, turned into small curls like damp seaweed, and he buried his head and whispered something to himself.

The other was a monk. He wore a dark brown coarse cloth robe as rough as a rag, and when he came in, he folded his hands and said nothing.

Ivus already knew at this time that the antlers were the path of twilight, red the path of love, old Gordon the path of devotion, himself the path of transcendence, Lily in a gray hoodie was the path of adaptation, and Mr. Knight was the path of authority. In other words, the remaining three people should be balanced, beautiful, and wise.

Fortunately, there is a ninth person, who directly excludes a wrong option for everyone-

"Hello everyone, I am the 'King' of the Balanced Path, a veteran 'botanist'! If brothers and sisters need alchemical incense or essential oils, they can buy them from me, and I will give them a 20% discount on the market! Mainz can be delivered to your home free of charge within 20 kilometers, and foreign customers only need to pay half of the normal customs tariff, and it can be delivered within half a month! ”

As soon as the middle-aged man who looked a little depressed appeared, he immediately raised his voice repeatedly in a loud voice: "Hello everyone, can you hear me?" I am the 'king' of the balanced path, a very professional botanist......"

"-I'm annoyed!"

"Aless" whined loudly and rudely.

Although the others did not speak, their slight frowning brows also indicated their attitude.

But in fact, Ivas couldn't help but exclaim in his heart:

Surprised, it's the advertising brother last time!

He couldn't help but sigh at the miracles of the world, everyone's fate, and your kid's courage against the sky - you can meet and be seconds when you play a full moon ceremony, what gave you the courage to come to the new moon ceremony?

Anyway, it's all a second to meet, there's no difference, right?

And besides, wasn't it nine percent off last time, how did you change eight percent off this time? Running out of money lately?

If you don't have money, can you enter the crescent moon ceremony? Why don't you go to the full moon ceremony and do another set?

But what Aihuas didn't expect was that his goods were actually sold.

This is a circle of seats, and the ninth and first are right next to each other. And Mr. Antlers, who could get along with anyone, approached with great interest and whispered to Mr. King about the origin of his goods.

Listening to Mr. Antlers, he might want to buy a batch of alchemy incense - at least a large order of more than five hundred white coins, so excited that Mr. King trembled all over, and almost jumped from his seat to talk to Mr. Antlers in detail.

Ivus shook his head.

…… Incomprehensible.

Can this method of bringing goods really be sold?

Isn't this God's way of rewarding hard work?

At this time, the stone sculpture of the knight regained its color. It exuded a brilliant silver-white brilliance all over its body, and the golden holy sword in its hand was brilliant and bright.

【Ceremony participants, please be quiet】

A serious voice sounded from under the knight's helmet:

[This ceremony is presided over by me, I am a knight under the command of the Silver Crowned Dragon, Gawain]

Gawain's voice fell, and the space around him took on shape and color.

It's a gloomy and gloomy enclosed building, but everything around it is incomparably taller. The flowing sea of blood beneath them turned into a boiling pot of broth, and the white smoke in which they were in the pot steamed.

The surrounding buildings are huge, and the doorknob is at least ten meters above the ground; The handle is also extremely large, roughly estimated to be two meters long.

It was as if they had come to the land of giants, and it was as if they had shrunk to the point where they were shorter than cats.

The apostle had no intention of making small talk with them at all.

After arriving, he began to explain without pause.

[During the first promotion ceremony, I must explain to you the special rules of the crescent moon ceremony]

[This time, there are six advanced people who have multiple paths, but please note: in the advanced ceremony, only advanced path abilities and extraordinary items corresponding to the paths that you have made yourself are allowed to use]

[What you have experienced is not a story that really happened, but a script written by the Nine Pillars God based on history]

[The dream you use each time you advance will only be used once, and the content is all fictional, which is different from the development in reality]

[Therefore, you must also solve puzzles, search for items, defeat enemies, or survive to prove your abilities under the watchful eye of the Nine Pillars God]

[The ceremony is limited to one hour, and the ratio to reality is one to one]

[You must survive until the end of the ritual or complete the special victory conditions at the early settlement]

[Because this ceremony is a crescent moon ceremony, the kill reward points will be calculated, and the winner will be selected according to the points held from the highest to the lowest at the end of the ceremony and settlement; When all other ritual participants are killed, the ritual will be settled immediately, and if there are no special victory conditions, it will be lost.

[The winners of this ceremony are three, and there are special victory conditions]

[The special victory conditions for this ceremony are: "Sacred Relic Battle", "Crazy Killing"]

[Holy Relic Competition: There are powerful relics in this ceremony, and the holding of the holy relics will be perceived by other ritual participants in real time, and the holder of the holy relics will survive to the end and win directly regardless of the victory conditions]

[Killing Spree: If the surviving ritual participants at the end of the ritual are unable to achieve a point victory, but the number of kills is greater than the sum of the kills of the remaining survivors, they will win directly regardless of the victory conditions]

[The difficulty of this ritual is "Challenge", and dying during the ritual will cause weakness in reality for four to ten days]

[Separate statement: The dream of this ceremony is constructed by the 'Silver Crowned Dragon', and the script and bonus rules are in charge of the 'Snake Father'.] It has nothing to do with the witnesses of the ceremony, i.e., the person.]

Gawain said this, raising the blood-stained holy sword in his hand.

He solemnly read out the script for the ceremony:

[In 1320, a giant couple in the giant kingdom of Alctos captured nine humans as a reserve food for the winter......]

As the blade fell from its highest point, Ivas felt a strong dizziness.

The world in front of him distorted and dissipated, and the nine people sitting in the chairs disappeared without a trace.
