Mysterious Valley
The charred flames surrounded the hounds and ran around, devouring the corpses they saw along the way. Their footsteps left behind Burn flames on the ground.
The entire valley, as far as the eye can see, is filled with Burn flames, and from time to time there are the sounds of barking dogs and struggling howls.
A large number of low-level members of Hundred-Eye Cult died, and things were not easy for Anti. Many soldiers were ignited by the flames before they could exit the valley, and finally fell in it.
In the center of the magic circle in the middle of the valley, the strange meteorite bloomed with rays of light. The lines and trajectories transformed by these lights were clearly visible, piercing through the obstacles along the way.
Some Purgatory Black Dog were shot, with multiple small holes instantly piercing their bodies, which slowly healed after a long time.
Then, these rays began to wander, and like precision carving knives, they drew more complex patterns on the ground. These patterns had extremely delicate geometric aesthetics, and were as neat as design drawings, layer by layer.
Half an hour later, layers of magic circles outlined with blue lines rose up, forming seventeen layers of huge and complicated magic circles, and the patterns on each layer were also different.
At this moment, the aura of "Alien Star" filled the valley like a strong wind, making the flame of Purgatory Black Dog who was chasing the Hundred-Eyed Cultists dim and swaying like a candle.
Facing this majestic magic circle that was gradually rising and about a hundred meters high, Kachis at the foot of the mountain could only look up, with an inexplicable fear spreading in his heart.
He couldn't imagine how powerful this set of magic circles and rituals would be after they fully exerted their power.
Definitely interrupt their ceremony!
But at this time, Purgatory Black Dog's power has been unable to break through the gradually increasing personal suppression of "Alien Star".
Seeing this, Kachis gritted his teeth and took out a dark red dagger from his arms. The tail of the dagger had the outline of a double snake emblem, which was strange and mysterious.
This is the sacred object of "Twin Snake Cult". Although it is powerful, as he is used as a general of the Anti Kingdom, if it is exposed, he will be attacked and ostracized by countless people.
But at this time, I can't care so much.
Kachis lightly scratched his chest with the dagger, and traces of blood seeped out and were absorbed by the dagger. Then he once again summoned the three most powerful Purgatory Black Dog in the valley.
In this special world, the goal of all beings to become stronger is to sublimate their destiny and improve their rank, but there is not the only way to achieve this goal.
In its ancient era, when the mysterious knowledge had not yet been fully explored, and in an environment where many lives were brutally chasing to become stronger, many different ways of advancement were born. One of them was to merge the lives of the same species with each other, connecting Fate Card to form a powerful new life.
The most famous person who advanced in this way was "Two-Headed Giant Snake" and "Heikuis" who were enemies of "King of Ancient Barbarism". Later, Twin Snake Cult, who worshiped Heikuis, also mastered the taboo secret method of merging life.
After absorbing the blood of Kachis, the dagger appeared a mysterious red color, and then Kachis let the three-headed "Third Level·Dead Ember" Purgatory Black Dog step forward.
Suddenly, the dagger passed quickly, and the heads of three Purgatory Black Dog flew up, and then their bodies melted in the blood.
Invisible black flames ignited from their bodies, and then kept changing. The eyes of the three floating hound heads also lit up with orange light.
After that, the three heads were thrown into the black flames burned by the body again.
The fire continued Distortion, exuding a burnt and hot breath, and a special heartbeat continued to spread from the flames.
Kachis gasped, manipulating this weird fusion ritual, constantly adjusting the powerful monster that was gradually brewing in the sea of fire.
Ten minutes later, a black front foot stepped out of the flames, then a second, a third, and a fourth.
Above the black hound's feet, three ferocious heads were raised. Their eyes were red, and black smoke spilled from the gaps between their teeth. When they opened their mouths, a dark red and terrifying stream of fire spurted out, burning the ground into a glass-like appearance.
Three-Headed Purgatory Hound (Level 4·Dead Ember); fuse three Purgatory Black Dog of the same level and species to complete the advanced life. Burn is surrounded by immortal flames, fierce and powerful.
The nearly six-meter-tall Three-Headed Purgatory Hound rushed out of the flames and rushed towards the complex Ritual Array rising in the distance. Its speed was getting faster and faster, and its shape was like an elongated flame, leaving a long red flame tail in the dark night, so eye-catching.
On the ground, Purgatory Black Dog followed them one by one, forming a sharp wave of fire. As they ran, they turned into the flames of Distortion, and merged with the Three-Headed Purgatory Hound, making their size grow little by little, and the flames on their bodies became more and more blazing.
The originally scorched flames were now like the blazing red sun, racing across the valley. It twisted the air, and the breath brought by its running burned the entire valley. All the beholders in its way were ignited and turned into fireballs, burned into black coals and ash.
Even though there is no obvious concept of high flame temperature in "Dead Ember" Aspect Power, as the son of "Blazing Sun", when Aspect Power reaches its extreme, it will still reappear a bit of the terrifying power of Blazing Sun.
Inside the valley, black and red sparks were swaying, shaking the aura of the "alien" coming to the world. The originally magnificent blue magic circle was also shaking and distorting at this moment.
Outside the rising silver-blue light fog Beacon, the giant Three-Headed Purgatory Hound that had expanded to nearly forty meters continued to Bite block the isolation barrier. The black flames that erupted between the teeth burned and melted, causing holes to slowly appear in the blue barrier membrane.
If Three-Headed Purgatory Hound is unable to resist at this time and is allowed to rush into the inner side of the magic circle and destroy it, Hundred-Eye Cult's hundreds of years of hard work will be ruined.
"Your Highness, it's your turn to take action."
In the magic circle, Jabs looked up. Outside the blue barrier, there was a forty-meter-high giant Three-Headed Purgatory Hound, which gave people a terrifying sense of oppression like a mountain, as if it could cover the entire night sky. Burn looked at this scene. At this time, he could no longer move and his legs were shaking.
"Are we sure we want to fight against this terrifying beast?" His face was pale and his voice was trembling.
"Yes, Your Highness, there is not much time left." The believer looked eager and grabbed Jabs's hand, dragging it into a star position in the magic circle as if forcefully pulling it.
"Please stand here and recite the prayers according to the words above." The two believers handed him a board with what he wanted to do already written on it.
"This." Jabs still wanted to hesitate.
"Please hurry up! Otherwise we will all die here." These believers ordered again sternly.
Knight, who was behind Jabs, was shaken when he saw this scene. He wanted to step forward to protect Prince Jabs, but he also felt that if the ceremony really couldn't be carried out, he and Prince Jabs would both die under the suffocating and terrifying flames.
Prince Jabs, with trembling fingers, held the cardboard and read the words on it with a trembling expression.
"I, Jabs, the forty-seventh generation heir of the Regas Kingdom, the lord of the yet to come kingdom, the blood descendant of the pioneer Regard, declare here."
"I am willing to use the oath and glorious promise of my ancestors, and the foundation of the kingdom and all the people as a guarantee, to give the legitimacy of this ceremony, and I am willing to take over the ceremony at the cost of the entire kingdom, raise Beacon, and guide the wandering life. He will use this land as the cornerstone and descend from the stars of eternity."
With each sentence of this prayer, Prince Jabs's face became paler. Until the last sentence ended, several halos of light suddenly spread on the rising Beacon light pillar, spreading towards the distance in the sky.
On the dark night land, this beautiful halo streaked across the night sky above the cities and towns that Regas passed by, and then the shadows of castles symbolizing the cornerstones and territory emerged one after another.
Although Anti Kingdom ruled this territory, just one or two years was not enough to completely erase the traces of Regas, and there are still many people in this land who believe that only the descendants of Knight King Regard are qualified to become their kings.
The performance of any ritual has its own price, or it can be said to be like a scale. Only when the price on one side is sufficient can the same reward be obtained.
When Jabs recited that prayer, it was equivalent to putting the final prestige and legitimacy of the Regas royal family on the table as a sacrificial response as part of the ceremony.
Demon Pact-Maker uses this as an anchor point to maintain the life of a "Alien Star" of the same level in this world without being rejected by the world.
So if a higher level, more powerful being from another world comes, what are the anchor points and price required? I am afraid that only one country can bear and maintain it.
The virtual images of "Castle" condensed over these towns turned into quicksand, slowly gathering into the diffuse halo, while the Beacon in the center became brighter and brighter.
Levitation's seventeen-layer magic circle began to rotate, like an ancient and mysterious gear lock, slowly opening the dusty door.
The pattern of the first layer at the bottom changed and turned into sixteen pillars supporting the palace and dome, each of which was engraved with floating Beholder creatures and derived tentacles.
Then the pattern on the penultimate layer changed and became an arched dome covering the magic circle. Stars flickered on the dome, outlining unknown creatures.
The pattern changes on the penultimate layer are Doomsday Codex part by part from Levitation, declaring the inscription of truth to crack the world.
The pattern on the fourth to last floor changes. Eleven statues of Knight dressed in Swan Armor stand. The spears they hold gather together and light up the bright lights.
The patterns on the fifth to last floor change, and ancient dynasty flags stand tall. Behind them, there seem to be countless creatures shouting in the long river of history.
Facing the changing patterns, magnificent haloes shot down along Beacon and poured into the earth. The air waves washed away, crushing and flattening the entire valley. The broken rocks flew in the strong wind and air waves, causing Anti Soldier who had not yet left to panic and dodge. From time to time, some people were hit and turned into powder and blood foam.
Halos spread across the land one after another, and strange blue patterns began to appear on the ground with a radius of nearly ten kilometers. If viewed from the sky, these patterns outline a slowly opening eye.
In the center of the array, Prince Jabs knelt on the ground. The aura on his body changed drastically, and countless free "Alien Star" Aspect Power gathered together, causing it to float slowly and then merge into his body.
The previously condensed "Castle" level quickly dissipated, and the new "Alien Star" level gradually condensed, but this process was also accompanied by Distortion and the mutation, his eyes gradually turned into a strange purple, and his hair seemed to be alive, slowly floating like tentacles. Under the skin of his body, there seemed to be insects crawling, causing it to gradually expand, revealing ferocious and uncoordinated muscles.
Such a rough infusion of power left him unable to control it, and he didn't know how to control it. He could only let this power swim around in his body, fill it up, and finally turn into a rough ability.
Prince Jabs was seven meters tall at this moment, falling slowly like a giant. Then its blazing purple eyes stared at Three-Headed Purgatory Hound outside the barrier, and bright rays shot out from it, penetrating the forty-meter-tall giant beast and creating two huge holes.
The black dog howled, and its own flames covered Distortion again, filling the hole, and then spurted out charred flames, pouring in along the hole in the barrier that Jabs shot through.
These flames traveled around, burning the original believers around Jabs and melting them into moving fireballs.
In the sea of fire filled with the breath of death, Jabs waved his arms, bringing the cold star wind to disperse the surrounding black flames. At this time, he took a deep breath, then further expanded his body, and then opened a pair of eyes on his shoulders, chest, arms, and palms.
These strange blue and purple eyes locked on the black dog Bite that was spitting flames outside the barrier. Then, the bright light hit Three-Headed Purgatory Hound, making him be Penetration like a hedgehog.
The light dissipated, and the huge beast was riddled with holes. It slowly collapsed and turned into flowing flames, then condensed again and turned into the ferocious howling Three-Headed Purgatory Hound.
The sea of fire was still there, flooding the outer perimeter of the complex array in front of him. When the valley collapsed and shattered just now, a large number of Anti Soldier were killed. Their corpses once again filled the body of this giant beast, making it even more powerful.
The aura of despair and fear filled the wilderness, turning into nourishment for this giant beast. Looking at the red eyes, all the believers in the circle were frightened, and even suffered a mental breakdown, falling to the ground and dying.
The ceremony is still going on, and at this time, Prince Jabs in the formation and Three-Headed Purgatory Hound in front of him are locked in a stalemate.
A team covered in black cloaks rushed out from the rocks and ruins. The leader held a beautiful and delicate figure and shouted at Jabs inside the magic circle.
"Open the barrier and abandon the ritual or we will kill your sister, Princess Musa."
On a dark horse, this member of "Mist Blade Squad" held the tied Princess Musa, pinched the opponent's neck with one hand, and held a dull dagger in the other hand, aiming at the princess, threatening Prince Jabs inside.
At this time, Princess Musa was filled with tears, looking at his brother who was no longer in human form, and the scene that shattered everything, as if Nightmare could never wake up.
Everything has changed. Even if Regas returns to the country in the future, will it still be her family? Is this what she wants as the Regas royal family?
Princess Musa felt endless sadness in his heart, pitiful for his brother and pitiful for his own powerlessness, he could only watch all this happen.
However, Jabs in the magic circle can no longer hear her voice. In other words, at this time, he is no longer Jabs, but another different life.
Facing the threat of this Mist Blade Squad, his blazing eyes flashed with light, and the dazzling rays directly hit the opponent's position. If this member of Mist Blade Squad hadn't been vigilant, he would have melted and penetrated him with just that one blow.
"You!"
They worked hard and sneaked into the valley to catch Princess Musa. They thought it would be a useful trump card, but they didn't expect it to be completely ineffective now.
Seeing Jabs continue to attack, the members of this team simply abandoned the princess and fled in all directions.
Their figures turned into mist and dissipated as they ran, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect, but the pair of eyes on Prince Jabs's shoulders could still see through the outline of their movements. Several deep purple rays of light flashed through, turning these Anti's elite scouts into ashes.
"Damn it!"
Knowing that he could not escape the attack of the ray, a member of Mist Blade Squad turned around and threw the dagger at Princess Musa who fell on the ground.
Seeing that this dagger was about to kill the last normal bloodline of the Regas royal family, a faint deep purple light shot out from a distant place, hitting the thrown dagger, causing it to fly in the air, and finally landed on the charred ground beside Princess Musa.
This unexpected ray attack caused the two parties to shift their attention to a hill in the wilderness.
A strange horse-riding team appeared, with the leader standing holding a spear. Her face was illuminated by the sea of fire, and her delicate hair brushed past her ears and floated gently in the sky.
