Chapter 32: The Taboo (8)
Qiu hugged the baby and stood under the door of the church wrapped in heavy and deep ice, and did not move forward, because Qiu did not know what would happen under the passage in front of her, and no one dared to say that she and the baby could be guaranteed at the same time at this moment, so Qiu could only stay here to protect the baby in her arms, leaving Luo Mu and Sirius to face everything alone.
Luo Mu glanced at Qiu, Qiu looked at Luo Mu deeply, and said softly, "Come back alive" Luo Mu nodded, Qiu looked at Ci Ruisi again, Xi Ruisi's face was as usual, and he waved his hand.
Luo Mu turned around and walked towards the huge statue, Sirith followed behind him, Luo Mu knew that at this time, it was simply unrealistic for him to let Sirius stay here with Qiu, countless experiences told him that at this time, Sirius would never listen to him, and Luo Mu didn't bother to say more.
Luo Mu and Sirith's footsteps stepped on the smooth ground of the church, making an extremely crisp sound, the church is not big, but perhaps because the huge tornado vortex in the sky obscured the sky, resulting in a little dim in the church, Luo Mu and Sireth are neat benches on both sides, the corners of the benches have been polished smooth, it can be seen that when Capeln is still alive, there should be many people coming to pray in this church every day.
Luo Mu walked to the statue of Nergale, raised his head slightly, and looked carefully at the head of the statue, all the portraits and statues of Nergale in the palace were smashed by the angry King Capeln, maybe this statue is the last statue of Nergale in the world.
The statue's gaze looked out of the church, full of compassion, her head covered with a scarf, her body dressed in a rich fringed robe, and the snake body below her did not feel out of place in the slightest, as if she should have been.
Capeln's carving is extremely exquisite, the statue is carved lifelike, Luo Mu can see that Nergale's face can be easily recognized as similar to the royal bloodline, Capeln's royal family, Luo Mu in the long corridor of the palace, basically saw it on the portrait, and the Nergale in front of him at this moment is the last.
Luo Mu looked deeply at Nergale's face, then lowered his head, just below the statue, a neat downward staircase was in front of Luo Mu.
Walking closer, Luo Mu could see that the passage did not seem to be dark, and there were not bright gems inlaid in the walls on both sides of the downward wall, which brought a dim light to the passage, but at least he could see the steps and routes clearly.
Pastor Luo exhaled, in this situation, it is impossible not to be apprehensive, no one can predict what kind of situation Luo Mu will be in after walking down the stairs, Frodice is indeed the strongest one among all, but there is no problem with his choice, even if Sean fails, those soldiers are still some distance away from the church, if for such a long time, everyone has not solved this demon, then it means that they can't solve it with Ben.
And the soldiers at the door are obviously not inferior to those in the fortress, and they are not close to the church, Frodik's task is to make them not cross the thunder pool one step, and now the situation is already the most optimal configuration, and the burden of saving everyone is once again on Luo Mu's body, this line of work is really nine deaths.
Cyris felt Luo Mu's mood, she gently held Luo Mu's hand, Luo Mu turned his head sideways, he saw a pair of firm eyes, Cyris eyes seemed to be saying a sentence "I'm with you".
Luo Mu gently shook Siresi's hand and then let go, without saying anything, he walked down the stairs.
The staircase is integrated with the wall, carved entirely out of stone, and the edges of the staircase have been polished so smooth that it can be seen that people have walked up and down here every day for at least 100 years.
The stairs were not long, and soon, Luo Mu came to the end, and when he stepped out, Luo Mu and Sireth came to an empty underground stone chamber.
The stone chamber was very dim, only a few gems on the surrounding stone pillars that were the same as those in the passage emitted a faint light, but this underground space didn't need light, because just a few dozen meters in front of Luo Mu, in the center of the stone chamber, a huge hell crack was constantly releasing dim yellow light, and countless currents were splashing extremely unsteadily around the hell crack.
In the center of the stone chamber is a huge hollow that is bottomless, and the hell crack is floating in the air, the hell crack is about ten meters high and more than three meters wide, just in the hell crack, Luo Mu can clearly see that a huge black snake that can't see the whole picture at all is entrenched in it.
Each scale of the black snake is the size of a plate, not to mention the snake body, even the huge snake head, which can't be put down in this hell crack at all, just above the center of the hell crack, Luo Mu can see a blazing yellow vertical pupil, just as Luo Mu and Xi Ruisi came out of the passage, the blazing yellow vertical pupil instantly stared at the two of them.
The pupils were the size of a human head, and the look in the vertical pupils was cold and greedy, as if everything in this world would eventually be its meal.
But this is not the first demon Luo Mu has seen, so Luo Mu has already been mentally prepared, he looked at the lower end of the hell rift, where there is a face embedded in the snake body, and that face is none other than Nergale.
Nergale's body has completely disappeared, and has become one with the demon in the crack, leaving only her face on this body, Nergale's face is covered with pitch-black veins, it seems that it will not be long before the last part of Nergale's humanity, and the last remnant of humanity, will also be completely crushed and eaten by this demon.
And right in front of Nelgal, at the edge of the cavern closest to the crack in hell, a man was kneeling on the edge of the hole, stretching his arm forward, his body trembling violently, his hair was dry grayish-white, but it was almost waist-long, it was predictable how long he hadn't moved here, he was dressed in a priest's outfit.
The priest's clothes were still white, and it could be seen from this clothes that the priest should have been a relatively strong person in the past, but now he was completely thin, and the previous clothes looked loose on his body, Luo Mu couldn't imagine what a broken body was shrouded under this clothes.
The priest trembled, and kept cutting his wrist with a knife, and the priest's exposed arm was as thin as wood, with a dense knife cut that he could not count at all, and there was no whole piece of flesh on his entire arm, which looked chilling, one scar was tired of one scar, and countless wounds opened and healed, so that the priest's arm was almost squeezed with the last drop of blood.
The priest squeezed his arm hard, but the wound on the arm that had just been separated was white, and not a drop of blood came out at all.
The priest trembled violently, and as he desperately squeezed the wound he had just cut, he screamed, "Wendell, Wendell, where are you?!, this knife is not deep enough!"
The terrifying and strange picture in front of them made Luo Mu and Cyris only feel a chill rushing to their heads from behind them, Luo Mu couldn't help but feel a thrill, at this moment, the sound of high heels trampling on the ground suddenly came from the other direction of the stone room, Wendell was still wearing a nun's costume, but the boots on his feet were low-heeled boots that belonged to a swordsman.
"Yes, yes, I'm coming," Wendell's voice was gentle, and she held a brand new silver knife in her hand, which she answered as she handed it to the priest.
The priest couldn't wait to grab the knife in his hand, and then slashed at his arm!
The brand-new knife was extremely sharp, and it directly cut a huge wound on the priest's arm, which was more than ten centimeters, and finally a small stream of blood flowed out of the priest's arm, and then dripped on the surface of the black snake's body, on the face of Nergal.
At the moment when the priest's blood came into contact with Nergale's face, the face suddenly became hideous, and the whole face suddenly became distorted, as if she wanted to open her eyes hard, but she couldn't open them anyway, and the giant snake also instantly churned violently in this hell crack, and the priest's blood once again awakened Nergale's remaining humanity, and Nergale was snatching the dominance of this body again!
Luo Mu looked at the two people in front of him, and the black snake that was tumbling violently in the crack of hell, and suddenly a burst of sadness rose, all this is really a curse, and no one in it can be left alone.
Luo Mu sighed lightly and said, "Why bother to do this?"
Hearing Luo Mu's voice, the priest turned his head abruptly and looked over, and Luo Mu's pupils also shrank slightly, the priest's entire face was almost extremely atrophied, almost only skin and bones remained, and there were almost no eyelids in the deep eye sockets, but this made those eyes even more prominent, the priest's eyes, one was normal, and the other had completely turned into a blazing yellow vertical pupil like the demon!
The priest looked at Luo Mu and the two of them deadly, but Wendell did not turn his head, but gently stroked the priest's back, and said, "Even if all this will come to an end after all, but before this end, he belongs only to me, right?"
Luo Mu looked at Wendell and asked, "What exactly did Igniz promise you?" Luo Mu knew that Wendell had definitely been in contact with Igniz's people, because when Luo Mu first came here, Wendell had said "Welcome to the Holy Ruins", Wendell knew that this was Capeln, but she called this place the Holy Ruins, obviously, she thought that Luo Mu and the others were also Igniz's people at first, and the name of the Holy Ruins should be Igniz's name for this place.
Wendell shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what they promised, and this world shouldn't exist anymore, but I really can't bear him"
"The love of a priest and a nun is taboo, I don't blame him, I am willing to bear everything for him, even if I will become a sinner in the whole world"
Wendell chuckled, she gently stroked the priest's back, and then gently hugged the priest, the priest's body was already thin and could not sit on the ground at all, he could only rely on Wendell's body, the priest's consciousness had already been exhausted in the torture of these endless years, he only remembered to use blood to suppress the huge demon in front of him.
But even the reason for this he had forgotten.
Wendell laughed, and with a gentle push, he pushed the priest straight into the crack of hell!
As soon as the priest's body touched the scales of the black serpent, it was like being thrown into the lake, and it was directly swallowed up, and then Wendell jumped lightly, and also jumped into the huge hell crack, Wendell's body was extremely slowly integrated into the body of the demon serpent, and Wendell's voice echoed in the stone room, "This way... Such... ...... like this"
"So we can be together forever......"
