Chapter 12: The Lord of Desire
The carnival had begun, and Arthur's eyes had been fixed on the altar, where the priestess was kneeling reverently before the altar with something sacred on her face.
This matter, at least for her, is sacred.
The pink light spread outward from the altar rings, no one cared, they were all immersed in their own world of sexual bliss, the light sprinkled on them made their movements more intense, and then more intense pink light emanated from them, returning to the altar.
The light on the altar went from a thin layer to a substance. Kira touches Arthur: "Hey, let's go!"
Arthur was staring blankly at the central altar, there was an unusually familiar aura coming from it, but it did belong to the demon, I don't know why, he suddenly wanted to see what would happen next? Demon Summoning? Demons like to come to this set, using human will to break the power of the realm, and returning to the main material realm has always been their goal, but it has never really been achieved.
"Now let's go up, that is, stop the evil sacrifice for the merit, and wait for her to summon the demon! Arthur said casually, but even he himself doubted what he said. Boom next to him agreed, he needed a fight too much.
At this time, Monroe suddenly took out a long dagger and slowly walked up to the altar.
Arthur exclaimed, "No, it's a sacrifice!" and rushed towards the altar.
But it was too late, Monroe with a relieved expression, raised her arms high, stabbed the dagger into her heart, and fell on the altar with a cry of extreme pain mixed with extreme pleasure, and the red light on the altar began to pour into her body, and at some point the eyes of the idol had opened.
Arthur was bounced out of the red light, unscathed, but helpless with everything that happened on the altar. He didn't expect this woman to be so crazy. Demons are generally in pursuit of their power, and there are very few believers who give their lives as much as they believe in the gods. But this devout sacrifice of one's own life can provide great power to break through boundaries and summon demons into the world. The stronger this power is, the stronger the summoned demons will be, and they may even be doppelgangers of the Lord of Desire.
The pink light condensed into a cocoon of light, enveloping Monroe's body inside. Suddenly, Monroe's eyes opened again. It's just that inside is no longer the light of man, but the gaze of God, or of the devil. Full of unbridled mockery. When the gaze moved to Arthur's body, between the eyes, Arthur felt that the sense of familiarity was stronger, and the doppelganger of the Lord of Desire was also stunned, and then looked away, and more light radiated from her body, no longer only in the tower, but the whole city began to be affected by this light.
Arthur looked at the demon and whispered, "Kira." We seem to have kicked the iron plate! We are really doppelgangers of the Lord of Desire. It's just that she doesn't seem to be able to move yet. It probably takes a little time to get used to the mortal body. ”
"What then?" said Kira, clenching the dagger at her waist. The intense red light was affecting him as well.
"Let's make such a big noise. Abel didn't know for no reason. What are we afraid of with the dragon in the battle?" Arthur said as he summoned the mud pill. Rushing towards the altar again. The mud pills gradually emitted a yellow glow. Fuse Arthur into it. Wait until the light fades. A tall earth giant appeared in front of everyone.
Ever since the communication of the earth elemental realm. This trick fits together. It's already easy to use. The elements are not affected by the light of desire. Contains a yellow glow. Arthur punches the light cocoon.
But the massive punch only sent ripples through the light cocoon. Once again, the Lord of Inner Earth Desires turned his gaze to Arthur. With a gaze that can be called gentleness. Arthur's head hurts. Countless images squeezed into the head.
That's Monroe memory.
A very old-fashioned plot, but the tragedy is still a tragedy repeated a thousand times. Monroe, who was originally a noble lady, met a bard and eloped with him to the city, and then the money she brought out ran out. Then betrayed and betrayed by the man he loves the most, the pain and despair to the end is indulgence and curse, and it is no longer even a curse for a certain person, but a curse for the city, a curse for the whole world, and a curse for the gods. Life is already a kind of torture for her, only by immersing herself in desire to get a moment of peace, so there is no fear of death, maybe choose to die, return to the arms of the Lord of desire, is happiness!
But her curse can finally be realized, and the whole city is crazy for her, and the streets are full of random **** people. The light of desire continues to condense towards the light cocoon from all corners of the city, and the light cocoon is getting thicker and thicker. Arthur's fists were useless in the cocoon of light, which was so flexible.
A clear dragon chant came from the top of the tower, the sunlight poured in, a big hole broke through the top of the tower, and a huge silver figure fell from the sky, elegantly spreading its wings to stop the momentum, making the tower dusty. It was Abel who was the lord of the city. It was only then that Arthur was sure that she was a female dragon and that she was not very old. The huge body more than ten meters long gives people a slender beauty. The silver scales shimmered silver in the sunlight at the top of the tower.
glanced back at Arthur, his silver ball-like eyes with only a thin black pupil in the middle. was emitting an indifferent light, but the words that came out made Arthur cry and laugh, "Your three hundred gold coins are in vain!"
The Lord of Desire in the Cocoon of Light seemed to feel threatened
The red eyes met with Able, and a silver dragon's breath surged in, and the altar was melted by the dragon's breath in an instant. It's just that the light cocoon is suspended in the air like that, and the red light trembles violently, and the lethality of the dragon's breath to this energy barrier is huge.
The Lord of Desire groaned, and the cocoon of light shattered into countless pieces, reuniting behind her, a pair of beautiful wings of light, and she swirled up in the tower at great speed, rising into the sky through the large hole left by Abel at the top of the tower. Able followed, soaring, but not slowing down at all under his massive body.
Arthur helplessly said to Guila beside him: "It seems that only the merit of surveillance is left!, but although this is only a clone, it can be regarded as a demon lord who can be counted in the abyss, and it is better than catching a dozen thieves." ”
Gila sighed, this kind of power was not something they could deal with, the desire to become stronger had never burned in his heart so much, maybe this was what his father thought!
The ordinary people in the tower are unaware of these changes, and each is immersed in the world of desire. Arthur lamented that this mission was not in vain, at least he could see the gorgeous scene of thousands of people fighting, what he didn't know was that there were no more than a thousand people now. Rather, tens of thousands of people, almost everyone in the City of Art, except for a few who have been protected by magic, have become a paradise of desire, and these abundant desires are constantly providing power to the Lord of Desire flying in the sky.
The chant of the dragon resounded in the sky, and magic continued to hit the pink figure, but the Lord of Desire only paused for a moment and continued to fly, not in the slightest in love, but also did not fly out of the confines of the city. So two figures in the sky swept across the sky, but because the small figure was more flexible, the big one could never catch up with her.
As they chased and fled, they circled the city, but returned to the top of the tower, and the Lord of Desire suddenly hovered, as if unaffected by any inertia.
Able was flying at high speed, but he didn't have time to react.
The first counterattack of the Lord of Desire began.
Arthur, who was about to walk out, suddenly turned around, and Abel's huge body fell again at high speed, only this time it was not as graceful as last time, because she was trampled on. The petite body of the Lord of Desire stepped on Abel's dragon head and fell into the tower.
In the dust, the Lord of Desire was suspended in the air, and Able shook his head and stood up unharmed. The strength of the dragon's body can be seen.
Able raised his head and looked angrily at the suspended Lord of Desire, but the Lord of Desire's gaze was always faintly mocking, not unlike the lustful gaze of her believers. The altar, which had been completely burned by Abel's dragon flames, suddenly began to appear with a magic array, and Abel happened to be on top of the altar.
The Lord of Desire, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "The desires of many people are not as good as those of the same dragon! Very pure, unpretentious. This huge voice echoed in the tower, but it was delicate like a woman in love talking to her lover.
Able exclaimed, "You were setting up a magic circle just now!" but her voice was no longer as firm as it had been before, and her eyes were dyed crimson like silver balls. She only now understands that the other party's intention to go around the city is not just to collect desires more conveniently.
Able struggled to break free from the magic circle, but a pink glow had begun to spread over her, a thin layer that kept a dragon from moving. The incarnation theory of the Lord of Desire is even worse than Ebel's, but tens of thousands of years of combat experience is not comparable to Ebel's little female dragon born in peacetime.
A thin pink thread passed through the struggling Abel to the Lord of Desire, who looked intoxicated, as if savoring the taste of Abole's desire, and Abel struggled more and more powerlessly.
At this time, Hona threw the big sword in his hand, and the target was the Lord of Desire in the air, but before he could get close, he was bounced away by an invisible force. Countless hailstones fell from the sky, but the target was not the Lord of Desire, who was suspended in the air, but Abel on the ground. It was Arthur's fourth-level druid spell "Ice Storm", and Guira's "Purifying the Heart" also hit Abel at the same time.
The pink glow on Abel's body immediately faded, and his eyes shone again. It wasn't the power of the Lord of Desire that trapped her, but her own desires that were lured out by the magic array. The stronger her desire, the tighter the entanglement, and this spell was designed to deal with a powerful creature like her.
The Lord of Desire once again turned his gaze to Arthur and said softly, "Are you still going to be my enemy for this stupid dragon?"
Arthur's heart softened, and the ice storm was immediately interrupted. But then I felt a pang in my heart, the charm of this lord of desire was too strong.
Seeing that the pink light on Abel's body began to thicken again, Arthur was helpless, and under the huge difference in strength, no strategy could work. But Arthur is strange that the Lord of Desire does not strike at him, although it is probably only a blow that can send him to heaven. But she has always tolerated everything Arthur did, and Arthur seems to feel this way, so she will repeatedly attack this powerful enemy who can easily kill him.
"God says, 'Desire is sin!'" an old voice suddenly sounded in the tower.
