Mysterious Valley, people inside were coming and going in a hurry, preparing various things.
Most of the people living here are Hundred-Eye Cult personnel, and they are excited because this is an unprecedented grand ceremony. Hundred-Eye Cult's hundreds of years of treasured resources have been moved out and occupy the entire valley. The giant magic circle with a diameter of about five kilometers is being adjusted. A person in dark red robes is constantly adjusting to make final preparations for tonight's ceremony.
Outside the valley, the army of Anti people has also gathered. Their banners are fierce, but before they arrive, the overwhelming momentum has filled the entire wilderness.
"Castle"Aspect Power, the cornerstone of order, is also the exclusive "Aspect Power" for many national armies, and many have "Castle" "The soldiers of Aspect Power unite together, just like stone bricks laying Castle, building a magnificent curtain and a moving wall that suppresses the power of other Aspect Power.
The horn blew slowly, and the array composed of Anti Soldier kept moving forward. They were like rolling boulders, slowly but unstoppably.
In the valley, high-ranking believers scolded their subordinates.
"How is the agitation developing in those towns? Why does Kachis still ignore it, or even refuse to detach troops for rescue?"
"Sir, we have mobilized and launched rebellions in 26 towns, and some have even achieved victory. However, the Anti general ignored the messenger who reported the intelligence and forced the army to attack."
"Doesn't he want all these Regas cities and territories? What a madman!" He cursed through gritted teeth.
"What about those towns now? If they succeed, ask them to send people over immediately for support."
"Sir, even if those cities succeed in launching independent rebellions, they will still suffer many casualties. I'm afraid it will be difficult to separate their forces..."
"These are not things you have to think about. All you need to know is that without reinforcements, we will all die here this time."
"Go, interfere with them, block them, and delay their attack."
"Yes."
From a hidden slope on the side of the valley, a group of Hundred Eyes cultists walked out quietly and were about to set off. But before they had gone far, screams came from the woods.
A cultist slowly fell down while holding his neck, with dark red blood spilling from his fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, more believers were killed in the woods. Some of them were unaware before they died, and some were discovered but still could not avoid the attack.
More than ten seconds later, the team that came out to interfere in the harassment was annihilated by the invisible blade.
After it was over, a figure in a short black cloak appeared in the hazy light and shadow. They were masked, holding non-reflective short blades and continued to move forward, following the secret passage that the believers came out of, towards the interior of the valley.
Anti's army advanced slowly, and the trees along the way were filled with dark red flags. During this period, all the traps set by Hundred-Eye Cult were knocked down and cleared.
On the hillside, the eleven Dim-Sight Evil Eye activated their abilities, and the invisible force field spread. The soldiers who invaded the foot of the valley suddenly had their vision dimmed, and could no longer see things ten meters away. Even their own palms became blurry.
This kind of visual suppression made many soldiers panic, and the advancing array also became turbulent.
With the help of visual suppression, several deep purple rays of light Penetration rushed straight to the camp behind the military formation, where there were Kachis's commanding flags and high-ranking officers watching on horseback.
After the light dissipated, about 5 officers melted and died in the rays, while the remaining officers also hurriedly opened the curtain and merged with the military formation.
Layer after layer of white curtains spread and appeared, isolating the core of the general formation. If you wanted to attack the figure inside, you would probably have to penetrate seven layers of wall-like gray and white curtains. With this weakened layer by layer, the deep purple rays could not even penetrate a thin piece of paper.
Unable to hinder the advance of the army, the believers in the valley were mobilized one after another. They took up crossbows and swords to attack Anti Soldier approaching at the foot of the mountain.
But these actions were extremely weak in front of a tight military formation, and could not shake the iron wall-like army at all.
Hundred-Eye Cult's front line was compressed step by step, leaving corpses in dark red robes along the way.
In the rear, Kachis was riding on a war horse observing all this with a telescope.
"Indeed, your Cultist methods have made it difficult for people to guard against, deluded people, and ambushed and attacked, all of which have caused us huge trouble."
"But so what, in front of the unrivaled army, everything is just an insect-like struggle." After saying this, he felt a sense of refreshment that he had not seen for a long time.
During this period of time, he was held accountable and questioned by the Anti Kingdom one after another because of his inability to wipe out Prince Jabs. If he could not solve the problem within three months, Anti Kingdom would send someone else to take his place.
Fortunately, his spies finally discovered the location of these rats. Now the army he has mobilized will gradually bulldoze these annoying guys. Everything is so wonderful.
"Sir, Split-Axe City has a messenger coming." A messenger came to him in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Kachis frowned.
"He said that Split-Axe City is in urgent need of assistance. There is also a rebellion there, and the streets are full of Regas armed men."
"I have nearly 1,000 people in Split-Axe City, can't they solve this problem?" Hearing this news, Kachis felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.
Of course he knows what these Cultist are up to, constantly causing rebellions and commotions, causing him to divide his troops and unable to concentrate on dealing with them. If he follows the opponent's rhythm and separates his soldiers to rescue them one by one, it will be like those who are fighting fires everywhere, never stopping.
Besides, His Majesty has no patience with him anymore. If he divides his troops and goes back at this time, even if he saves Split-Axe City, so what?
"Tell them to find a solution on their own and hold on until three days later. I will personally lead the army back to clean up those bugs." Kachis ordered.
"Yes." Knowing the general's determination, the messenger had no choice but to go back and inform the Split-Axe City messenger.
In the valley, Jabs looked at the giant magic circle where countless people were busy, followed by the only remaining loyal guards.
"Now that the army outside is pressing on the border, it is possible to break through the defense line at any time. Are you sure that tonight's ceremony can change the situation?" He asked the Baiyan Cultist beside him.
At this time, Prince Jabs already had some doubts about the effectiveness of the ritual. If it was really so powerful, then why didn't all the countries on the continent adopt it and still cultivate and train the army?
"Your Highness, please believe that we have all our belongings and everyone's lives at stake at this moment, and we will not make such a joke with you." The believer's words temporarily dispelled Prince Jabs's doubts.
After snorting coldly, Prince Jabs took the people away and went to the heights of the valley to continue observing the fighting situation.
The sky was getting dark. At this time, due to light problems, the woods at the foot of the valley became dim. The complicated environment slowed down the progress of Anti's team. Under such circumstances, Hundred-Eye Cult breathed a sigh of relief and thought that it could be postponed until tomorrow.
However, Kachis had already expected it. Under his order, many supplies were transported to the front line of the military formation, and torches were lit under the night. Burn's firelight was like stars in the sky, illuminating the surrounding valley brightly.
Not only that, in order to interfere with the magic circles and rituals in the valley, bursts of flaming arrows were thrown out and fell into the valley, causing flames to sweep across. Many believers were burned in the sea of fire all over the sky, crying.
At this moment, the situation was almost extremely bad. Prince Jabs looked cold when facing the firelight below. He turned around and asked Knight beside him to look for Princess Musa.
"Get ready to take my sister and me away. We can't stay here any longer."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Inside the chaotic valley, the leader of the sect walked quickly forward with a group of black-robed figures. They stepped directly into the sea of fire, and the invisible air flow overflowed, blowing out the surrounding firelight.
At this time, extremely thin rays of light shot out from the rock walls around the valley, exposing the box Penetration placed in the array, revealing the items stored in it.
There are scales with precision scales, hourglasses that determine time periods, and silver particles that represent weight scales.
Among them are amber encapsulating Insect Moth, flowers and plants sealed in glass bottles, and fossils of ancient fish.
Among them are solidified red blood, the teeth of ancient giant beasts, and the incomplete and precious Dragon Scale.
Among them are golden Burn Fire Seed, ice frozen for thousands of years, and Sixth Era corpse powder.
Among them are the silvery tranquil lake water, the enchanting black water lilies, and the film of alien beasts that flicker and fade like phantoms.
After that, Beholder on these mountain walls focused their rays to the center of the array, and a strange meteorite was concentrated by many deep purple rays and slowly floated up.
It slowly became transparent from a dark appearance, and the overflowing energy flowed in it, until it finally fully bloomed, and the bright light spread across the square.
The strange and strange aura swept across the valley. When it touched the military formation outside the valley, the layers of gray and white curtains also deformed and melted, as if they were being dissolved.
Losing the protection of the curtain, Hundred-Eye Cult's Beholder locked onto the high-ranking officer in the middle of the military formation, and melted it with deep purple rays Penetration night. This caused chaos in the advancing military formation, and many flames were ignited and spread in the forest.
From behind, Kachis looked at this scene with an expression on his face, Distortion. His eyes turned several times, and finally he took out a special black hound statue from his arms.
"For the sake of my ancestors, I will use this to safeguard the glory of my family." After saying this, he threw the statue in front of the surprised eyes of others.
The black statue emits black brilliance in the air, then falls to the ground and turns into invisible black flames that spread on the ground.
"Since I no longer have the protection of "Castle", I will let you know the reputation and glory of my Hellhound Family."
He took out the dagger and cut his wrist. A large amount of blood flowed out and fell into the black flames below. The flames suddenly became lifelike, forming a vague outline of a hound.
"Not only have you mastered the ritual, I also have the ritual secrets passed down from generation to generation in my family." Kachis said through gritted teeth.
Then, he had the corpses dragged from the battlefield and thrown into the fire.
The black flame suddenly surged as if it had received nourishment.
[Feast Ritual·Purgatory Black Dog](Nightmare·Dead Ember·Blood Law)
"At the end of Seventh Era, the protracted war with Alien Star left the earth full of corpses and maggots. Many creatures had nowhere to bury themselves. The exposed skeletons were shocking. In order to rejuvenate the earth and appease the creatures in the world, he took charge of "Dead Ember "The monarch, under the instruction of all Hour, summoned black hounds from the sea of fire. They emitted sulfur-like black flames and ran across the earth, devouring the flesh, flesh and corpses on the earth, preparing to reshape the world."
-
Conditions: This ritual requires a large number of corpses (Dead Ember) to create conditions for the birth of Purgatory Black Dog, the breath of despair and fear (Nightmare) to shape the black dog, and the bloodline (Blood Law) that made an ancient agreement with Purgatory Black Dog as a catalyst.
-
Minutes: After the ritual is successfully launched, Purgatory Black Dog will walk out of the fire. Their strength depends on the corpses swallowed by the flames and the negative emotions that permeate the air. Once these black dogs appear, they will continue to devour any corpse they see and transform them into new Purgatory Black Dog until the black fire in their bodies The flames Burn are all gone. In addition, if the owner of the blood as the catalyst in the ceremony knows the history of "Funeral Feast" at the time of Seventh Era, and the more similar the environment is to that year, the stronger the effect of the ceremony will be, and he can guide these black dogs with his own will to start actions.
-
Effect: From the black Dead Ember flames, black dogs from purgatory are summoned. They will burn and devour the bones they see, and eliminate the remaining traces of "Alien Star". (It has strong resistance to Alien Star, and the black dogs' flames restrain other "Dead Ember" creatures)
The flames made a strange whistling sound and kept twisting and turning. Finally, a ferocious black dog jumped out of it. It was about two meters tall, with a slender body and a long and narrow head. Its appearance made people shudder.
When these black dogs emitting flames walked out, their blood-red eyes looked around, and then rushed to the battlefield, gnawing at the corpses there. The soldiers were frightened by these black dogs, and fled in all directions. Some were even swept by the flames of the black dogs, and their whole bodies Burn stood up and ran on the ground crying and howling.
As the initiator of the ritual, Kachis has a certain influence on these black dogs, but he cannot control it precisely. After all, his bloodline is also very weak. Now he is Ninth Era, which is already too far away from the legend of Seventh Era.
More than a dozen Purgatory Black Dog are running on the ground. Their strength is "Second Level·Dead Ember", but this is just the beginning.
Many corpses turned into food and nourishment for the black dogs. They ran around the battlefield like a grand feast. Whether it was the corpse of Cultist or the corpse of Anti people, even those figures that were ignited by their flames and were not completely dead became their food.
In just a few minutes, ten Purgatory Black Dog turned into fifty Purgatory Black Dog, and the number is still rising.
Driven by Kachis's full force, these black dogs Impact ran toward the interior of the valley, flexibly jumping over obstacles and rocks. Even if they were penetrated by Beholder's rays, they would not die immediately, but would only become weak.
Many members of Hundred-Eye Cult were knocked down by these black dogs. They were wrapped in flames and melted while crying and wailing. The atmosphere of despair and fear filled the air, and then they transformed into new Purgatory Black Dog.
The Beholder on the mountain wall kept shooting, but it still couldn't stop the spread of these Purgatory Black Dog. Their number had expanded from the original ten to nearly a hundred now.
The frightening barking sound is running through the valley, and wherever it goes, the black flames spread, everything will be destroyed in the sea of fire, and everything will be turned into a feast for the hounds.
