Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 430

[Chapter 428 Sacrifice]

Chi La——

The vicious spike pierced through the flesh and blood, leaving another meaningless wound on this already scarred body, and the whispers and roars in the ears suddenly became excited Arise, the blasphemous creatures uttered a sickening clatter, as if triumphant at the blow.

Agatha raised her hand, and used her cane to push back the Annihilation Cultist who was covered in bone spurs and had almost completely lost her human form. There was a crisp and piercing snapping sound next to her ears.

The sound made her stunned for less than a second, and then she realized that it was the sound of her combat cane breaking.

The weapon that had been with me for many years was broken, and it had persisted to the last step in the face of the inexhaustible enemies.

“You have done a good job, Miss Gatekeeper,” said the disgusting, pretentious voice again, “as a sacrifice, although proper preparation activities can help the effect of the sacrifice ceremony, excessive exercise can be harmful. It’s not a good thing.”

Agatha held the broken cane and raised her head little by little, the dry blood made her only able to open one eye, and in the narrow and reddened field of vision, she was finally able to see clearly. The scene in the hall.

The weird shadowy environment faded away, and what appeared in her eyes was the center of the sewer that had been completely transformed into a sacrificial place. Dirty and profane symbols and erosion marks could be seen everywhere on the walls and corridors in all directions, like some kind of stalagmites or dry branches Something like that covered the roof above, and on the floor of the hall in front, there was a huge “pool”—that

used to be the ground, but at this moment it was corroded into a huge pothole, and the big pit was overflowing with water. A black, sticky thing like mud, the mud was slowly churning, and there were nauseating wriggling sounds one after another.

Countless Annihilation Cultists surrounded this hall. They, and the ghostly demons accompanying them, were like swarms of insects waiting around the stinking cauldron, murmuring prayers and maddened lows to the dark pool of mud in the center of the hall. Roar, and that pool of mud became more and more full and more active in this noise-like prayer.

This is a sacrifice site, and they are waiting for the final sacrifice, and the “sacrifice” in the minds of these lunatics is the gatekeeper of the Frost City State.

They also copied another gatekeeper before that, and now that gatekeeper is also arriving at a sacrifice site.

“What you think is an action of free will is actually just walking towards the predetermined stage. Don’t you think this arrangement is very…beautiful?”

In the middle of the black mud pool, the young man with short blond hair opened his eyes to Agatha. Opening his hands, he still has a handsome face, but his entire lower body has turned into a swollen and wriggling accumulation. At this moment, he is a kind of “tentacle end” that is extended and deformed by the pool of mud, with a disgusting expression. The way to simulate the appearance of human beings.

“Okay, it’s almost time, and you have adapted to the environment here, now step forward, the time for sacrifice has come.” On the edge of the mud pool, a limb like a

tentacles gradually rose, and it emerged from the mud. It grows out of the body, but its end gradually turns into a hard and sharp structure like a dagger.

The sacrificial tentacle, which took people’s lives, slowly moved towards Agatha’s direction.

But Agatha just looked at it quietly, and suddenly said in a low voice: “It’s almost…it’s at this position…”

She slowly stretched out her hand to her chest.

But in the next second, her movements suddenly stopped.

At this moment, she lost control of her body.

“I know what you want to do, some kind of action that…is not in our plan.”

In the suddenly dull perception, she heard the voice of the blond young man from the opposite side, and she tried her best to raise her At first, he could only see the opponent’s figure at the edge of his field of vision.

“But unfortunately, in order to prevent the sacrificial offerings from getting out of control, we have been preparing ‘safety measures’ from the beginning – haven’t you noticed? You have eliminated so many fakes along the way, and even eliminated a dozen of me Avatars, all of this… is actually just a little bit of binding you to this mirrored city.

“Do you feel that you are more and more able to perceive the location of this sanctuary? Do you feel that you can ‘smell’ more and more clearly the smell of us ‘heretics’? Have you ever thought about why there is such a change? “

It’s simple, you were one of us before you got here, ma’am. “

Agatha finally raised her head. In front of her, the sharp thorn was approaching her heart little by little, and her body was still unable to move. Until now, she finally understood the reason for

her journey. What is the sense of disobedience, and I understand why these cultists have sent so many cannon fodder to engage in “attrition tactics” with themselves in vain. Everything is

for the subtle pollution.

The next second, then The sharp spike pierced her heart without delay.

In the mud pool, the blond cultist raised his hands suddenly, and at the moment the gatekeeper’s heart was pierced, he prayed ecstatically: “The sacrifice has been offered!” ! The life of this saint will be the first step in the coming of the kingdom of our Lord! Shout the name of the Holy Lord and welcome the promised day! “

In an instant, all the cultists in the hall shouted, and those terribly deformed figures who coexisted with the devil fell into ecstasy, shouting the name of the Youshen Holy Lord in a frenzy, and some people waved the dagger they carried with them , crazily cutting through their own flesh and blood, pouring their own blood into the surging black mud in the center of the hall, and even the demons beside them fell into a frenzy, making all kinds of crazy howls! But just like

this Amid the frenzied howls, the black substance in the mud pool only surged violently for a few seconds before gradually returning to calm. The

blond cultist in the center of the “pool” finally noticed something strange, and he woke up suddenly from ecstasy. He stared in amazement at the pool that was returning to calm, and then looked at the sharp thorn that pierced the saint’s heart, and at the gatekeeper standing on the edge of the sacrificial field. The gatekeeper was scarred and pale

.

“…you have no life? ! “The madman finally lost his arrogance and demeanor, and pointed at Agatha in astonishment, “You…why are you a corpse? ! “

Agatha looked at him calmly, and at this moment, a smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“Although I didn’t understand your ultimate purpose before, as a gatekeeper, how could I not notice the violation and changes in my body…”

As she spoke, she slowly raised her arms, as if at random. With the failure of the sacrificial ceremony, she felt that this body was gradually returning to her control.

“After realizing that you guys were just trying to lure me to the gathering place, and realizing that this might be some kind of life-demanding sacrifice, I did one thing…” She grabbed the knife that stabbed

herself The sharp thorn in the heart, her fingers gradually exerted force, while strands of green flames flowed between her fingers, penetrating towards the thorn.

She raised her eyes to the cultist in the pool of mud.

“All heretical sacrifices are based on blood—I drained my own blood.”

“You…you know what I did!?” The lunatic’s eyes were wide open, and his finger pointing at Agatha trembled violently, “You …You…”

“It’s okay, it’s a trivial matter,” Agatha just smiled and shook her head, more and more flames were escaping from her fingers, “It’s good to be able to send the fire…” “

You What are you talking about…”

The cultist in the mud pool subconsciously opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, another deafening roar suddenly came from the other end of the assembly hall, and the earth-shattering movement instantly destroyed the last part of the sacrificial ceremony. The sustaining power of the power—

a gate in the depths of the meeting place, as well as a large wall next to the gate, were completely blown away by high explosives!

“Boom!”

The earth and rocks disintegrated, the cement flew, and the fragments of the gate and countless black strange substances mixed in it swept into the assembly hall like fragments of shells, and the few cultists closest to the gate were blown out on the spot , and the remaining believers exclaimed –

“They have broken through the gate!”

“Impossible! They haven’t been able to break through for decades… How could a group of phantoms break their own cycle!?” In the

center of the mud pool, the blond leader of the cult turned his head to look in the direction of the explosion in shock, but he didn’t When he saw clearly the figures rushing in from the opposite side of the Thorn Gate, a green flame soared into the sky at the edge of his field of vision.

He turned his gaze, and saw that the sacrifice that was supposed to be dedicated to the Lord Youshen had been wrapped in flames, and was burning fiercely in a terrifying spiritual body flame!

At the moment when the gate in the depths of the meeting place was blasted, Agatha finally broke free from the control of the sacrificial ceremony. In this extremely short period of time, she ignited the fire.

The fuel is herself.

The spiritual fire rises!

In the field of vision suddenly filled with faint green flames, Agatha saw a big hole in the wall opposite the “pool” had collapsed, and a group of people who looked like sailors, burning with the same green flames as herself, rushed into the hall.

The flames on their bodies resonated strongly with the kindling that was lit on their bodies.

Agatha smiled.

Knowledge entered her mind, and she already understood.

In the raging flames, she slowly opened her hands and raised them upwards as if to greet her.

“The fire is kindled.”
