Chapter 78: How to Kill a Demigod

The moment the spell left her finger, Angel felt a dangerous aura that made her tremble in front of her, from the "Calamity Charm" made from her blood.

But in the next moment, this aura disappeared completely, and the surrounding dark caverns seemed to be dyed with a calming color, and a faint glow emerged.

Feeling the cold touch of the "Hidden Emblem" on her right wrist, Angel knew that she had been pulled into the nightmare hidden by "Pierce Turner" on the island of Parra, maintained by multiple residents.

In front of her, the man in the trench coat who had appeared in Leiden's dream of digging for gold reappeared, his face still hazy, but his tone was completely different from last night, showing a metallic texture.

"After leaving the dream, you will take off all the magical items on your body, enter my body, become one with me, and then, with my dream, leave the island of Para and return to ......"

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were giving orders to his subordinates.

"Will I?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Angel's mouth, interrupting "Pierce's" words.

“…… Wait, are you still awake? ”

The latter's shrill voice like a metal scrape asked in dismay, and subconsciously moved his footsteps, away from the sneering Angel.

"Maybe it's because my 'Secret Emblem' came from an angel rather than a saint, and besides, the third spell I threw just now wasn't 'Sleeping'."

Angel raised her right hand and once again showed the out-of-control "Night Watchman" the emblem that would keep her awake in her dreams, rather than rejecting all dreaming abilities.

This is also the fundamental reason why she doubts the identity of the other party.

In Beckland, she has been asked by night watchers to dream and psychic several times, and each time this hidden emblem can keep her awake in the dream and cope perfectly, but if the role of the emblem is only to resist dreaming for no reason, it is like holding a large sign that says "I have a problem", which does not play the role of hiding her identity at all.

In this case, as a high-ranking deacon of Sequence 5, how could Pierce Turner, who had even taken the Sequence 4 "Night Watch" potion and was almost promoted to the rank of demigod, be blocked from the door by the Hidden Emblem?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party pretended to say that "he can't break through the secret emblem", but in fact, he was paving the way for a certain conspiracy, such as at this time, and when he really believed in "good Pierce" and tried to get close to his body and end his pain.

If this is indeed the case, then the other party's purpose of inviting him to kill him is very suspicious, a demigod, even if he is completely defenseless, can he really be easily killed by an extraordinary person in the middle sequence?

Will...... This high-ranking deacon, who claims to be fighting against the evil Pierce, is actually ...... The evil one?

And the one who obstructed the dialogue several times at critical moments was the real one, the Pierce who wanted to end it all?

With her thoughts, the emblem of the crimson moon on her wrist shimmered with the glow of night, and the hazy colors around her faded into a dark cavern.

Directly below her, the "Pierce" piece of flesh, which had also returned to her real body, let out the same high-pitched cry as in her dream, moving her bulky body, tearing cracks out of the rotten skin, and tufts of yellow and white feathers stretching out, desperately avoiding the trail of the falling "Calamity" spell in the air.

He also sensed the dangerous aura emanating from this spell, which was enough to make his demigod-like body die directly, even though it was contaminated!

At this moment, among the rotten flesh torn by the violent movements, a slightly thin arm jerked out, and with its yellow-green juice and rancid smell, it slowly but firmly met the black piece of iron, and grasped it in his hand.

"No—"

The roar with the sound of metal grinding came to an abrupt end, and the entire mass of "Pierce" festered and collapsed almost in no particular order, from the arm that touched the spell of "Calamity" to the torn pieces of flesh.

It is not the appearance of decay on the surface after half a year of internal strife that has gone through loss of control and reorganization, but the real "destruction" of each cell from the inside out.

"Poof—"

With a muffled sound, the huge lump of flesh cracked, like a puddle of pus that had been punctured through the skin, rushing to the low-lying part of the pit, and quickly solidified into a dark red filth.

Even the stench that was still wafting before is completely gone, as if it never existed.

Seeing this piece of meat with demigod properties die under the "calamity", Angel breathed a sigh of relief and put down the "Good Luck" revolver in his hand.

When she saw that "Pierce" was able to move and almost dodge the falling spell, she was ready to attack first and then take the opportunity to escape the mine.

Without a team of well-prepared official extraordinaires, she couldn't have come back here.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the only remaining trace of conscience in Pierce's body actually urged his arm to take the initiative to catch the "Calamity" spell and complete the fatal blow.

That's right, this is just the only remaining trace of the "original Pierce", after losing control in the promotion half a year ago, the flesh here, in the nightmare of Para Island, I am afraid that all that remains is the crazy senior deacon. He weaves dreams to expand his range of actions, tricks the punishers into concealing the truth about the mines, and even pretends to be his conscience, intending to lure Angel here and leave the island with the help of her body.

If it weren't for his deliberate disguise, in order to let Angel let his guard down, he lied that he couldn't break through the "Hidden Sacred Emblem" to pull her into a dream, Angel might really believe this statement.

Of course, the outcome may not make much difference, as the "Hidden Emblem" provided by Ms. Arianna will still be able to prevent Pierce from manipulating her dreams, and the slow-moving piece of flesh will not be able to break free from the shackles of the mines, and he will face a complete sweep from the substitutes.

Waiting quietly in the cavern above, until the dark light of the stars gradually condensed into a cloud of obscure objects, Angel manipulated the silk thread, pulled it out of the filth, and hung it in the air at his fingertips, carefully observing.

It was a night emblem stained with yellow oil.

It combined with the tainted "Night's Watch" properties to form a seal, and just looking at it through the air, it made her feel like she was almost in the dark, falling asleep, but mixed with a little crazy whispering, and even made her itch all over her body, especially her right hand, which hung through the silk thread.

On the back of that hand, fluff began to emerge, and one of them was particularly long, which turned into a curled feather under Angel's dark vision!

Looking at this strange scene, she felt that the pores of her whole body were itching, as if feathers were about to emerge from it.

Not daring to delay any longer, she immediately took out the iron bullet box she had brought with her, filled it with the contaminated emblem, and sealed it with a simple spiritual wall.

This isolates the contamination a little, but it doesn't last too long.

To take this time bomb with you and bring it back to town is to put other people's lives at risk.

After thinking for a moment, Angel quickly built a spiritual wall with holy night powder, lit sacrificial candles, set up a simple altar on the spot, and recited the name of the fool.

“…… Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom. ”

Breaking open a few Star Crystals to create a "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" and using the spiritually rich material as a sacrifice, she quickly received a reply from Mr. Fool and presented a bullet box containing the tainted "Night Watch" seal.

"Mr. Fool, this tainted trait comes from a certain Night Watch Sage who has failed to be promoted and has fallen into madness, please use your power to preserve it for the time being until I have a chance to return it to the Night Church. As compensation, I will collect more of Russell the Great's diary for you, as well as possible rewards for the Church of the Night. ”

Such...... I specifically mentioned the Night Church, mentioning that this is an extraordinary characteristic left over from the Night Watcher, and Mr. Fool should agree to keep it for me, right?

After bowing her head and praying for a long time, Angel felt a breeze blowing within the spiritual wall, and she looked up to see that the bullet box on the ground was gone.

She praised the fool in her heart with relief, removed the spiritual wall, looked at the handful of fluff on the back of her right hand, which had stopped growing, but was still quite conspicuous, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, sighed, packed the candles, used the wind to blow away the holy night powder, returned to the main passage of the mine, and quickly left the place.

As for the filth formed by the demigod bodies at the bottom of the cave, she didn't dare to touch it, and even taking back the seal in the air made her body have a certain abnormality, and if she jumped directly into the cave, she might end up with the former senior deacon Pierce Turner, and this kind of thing should be handled by the substitutes.

……

Byam, who was in the distance and rarely slept well, but was awakened from his dream by the sound of illusory prayers, quickly came to the bathroom, entered the kingdom of the Fool, and obtained the bullet box offered by Angel during the "sacrifice" ceremony.

Listening to the prayers in his ear, he opened the bullet box in disbelief, poured out the Night Emblem among them, pinched it to his fingertips and looked closely, the almost fatal pollution of others was unusually quiet above the gray mist, and even the oil stains on the outside became dim.

Is this the result of the extraordinary properties of the Sage, that is, the demigod?

What happened on Para Island, why did I receive a letter from Angel just the day before yesterday, saying that she was fine on Para Island, and today she offered a demigod-level seal?

She...... Can you already kill demigods?

Resisting the urge to click on the crimson star representing the "Queen" and ask it directly, Crane looked at the "Poseidon Scepter" inlaid with cyan sapphire from the fallen "Poseidon" Kavituis in his hand with some melancholy, and suddenly felt that this powerful magical item was not fragrant.
