When the information was received on the top of the mountain, the witches on the mountainside also learned that the sealing ceremony would start earlier.
"A powerful ring warlock with a sword?"
The witches did not choose to enter the interior of the mountain to guard the seal, but waited on the cliff where the passage entrance was located. Miss Aurora held the roll of parchment and looked at Granny Cassandra in surprise:
"This won't be"
"should be."
The old witch sat by the fire, and on the other side was Sister Deveryn. The burning flame is the primordial fire, as long as this bonfire exists, the abnormality in the narrow space will not affect them.
The followers of the Witch and the nuns of the Spiritual Order are currently scattered around, preparing for the next round of undead onslaught. Sister Devlin suddenly looked up at the sky, and the two great witches also frowned and looked up.
You can vaguely see the huge black shadow above the dense fog becoming clearer and clearer, and then you can see that it is a titan-like skull made of densely packed dead souls, looking at them.
Thousands of howling souls trembled irregularly. As the skeletons gradually became clearer, their terrifying expressions were reflected more clearly in everyone's eyes. No matter how courageous a person is, he can't look directly at this terrible scene, but the two witches don't care at all.
The brows of the skeleton can be seen vaguely, inlaid with a human being with a body. Miss Aurora squinted her eyes to observe, and then snorted from her pretty nose:
"Joy Barton. It's really old-fashioned. Do you think that the accumulation of quantity can defeat quality?"
She raised her hands and clapped twice:
"Girls, get ready."
She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers, twelve golden **** of light spun around her head; Granny Cassandra picked up the crutch on the ground and stood up, a huge and strange shadow trembled under her feet; Sister Divelin Reaching into the bonfire in front of him, he drew out the lime sword.
Standing up, she grabbed the tiny scythe as icy shards of silver floated through the air. If you look closely. The appearance of this scythe is exactly the same as when Joey Barton used the "Death Scythe", the huge shadow behind him swung the weapon in exactly the same style.
The nun flicked her right hand in the air, and the lime shell on the surface of the angel-level relic [Ash] peeled off. As cracks appeared on the surface of the body and clothes, the afterglow of the first fire flickered on the two weapons.
The battle on the mountainside broke out earlier than at the top and foot of the mountain. Perhaps in Joey Barton's opinion, witches are easier to deal with than Orthodox Church. He is only a one-ring warlock, and not even a core member of the "Truth Society". Naturally, he doesn't know what the [Witch Council] represents, let alone a twelfth-level witch who is also a twelve-ring warlock. mean something.
In the natural church at the foot of the narrow mountain, Xia De is still carefully exchanging information with Iluna; on the cliff on the narrow side of the mountain, the witch who inherited the power of the fifth era and the nun who guards the original fire join hands to fight against the appearance Joey Barton; around the big crack on the top of the mountain, with the rumbling sound, the ancient souls hidden in the mountain are being awakened by the inspiration of the mountain.
The fog filled the air, like an illusory curtain that was about to be lifted. Xia De, who was by the campfire, stared at the flames in front of him, and for some reason, he thought of the fourth candidate for death mentioned by Luvia.
He originally thought that the unknown candidate was a vampire, and that Armand Bernhardt came to Fort Midhill to help the other party obtain the status of the chosen one. But thinking about it now, maybe the big plan of the vampires really has nothing to do with the chosen ones and the narrow space. But even so, there is a possibility that the fourth candidate, who has not yet appeared, will appear in this final battle.
"The fourth-ranked candidate has almost nothing to do with the description of the poem, so the inherited power of the ancient gods is almost undetectable. But what is certain is that he or she must also have some characteristics and the first-ranked Joey Barton Similar... Could it be the eyes that see through death?"
If Luvia showed up at Fort Midhill, Shad even thought she might be the fourth candidate. Those purple eyes definitely have the power to see through death. But judging from the current situation, Luvia is obviously not
"Then who could it be? Has the other party been involved in this matter? Does he know the content of the ceremony? Before the ceremony begins, he needs to kill a person who has been resurrected from the dead."
Subconsciously turning her head to look at Iluna, the seventeen-year-old girl also looked at Xia De, and even winked at her playfully.
Under the light of the bonfire, Xia De saw her left eye glowing bright gold for a moment. This is not Iluna's original eye, her real left eye has been sacrificed during the ceremony of balancing the chosen one. Her current left eye is a gift given by Xia De with the power of divinity when she "burned her divinity and turned into a god" for the first and last time.
This eye is very beautiful, and because it is a divine creation, it has many complicated functions. And because that eye was supposed to be sacrificed to the ancient god, the replacement eye was actually able to exert the power of [Balance] better than Iluna's real right eye. Sometimes Xia De even felt that maybe one day, Iluna would be able to directly see the traces that he could only see with [Echo of Blood] without using spells and thaumaturgy.
Thinking of this, Xia De frowned:
"The result of Luvia's coin divination at the time was that by the time Iluna arrived in Midhill Castle, there were at least four candidates for the election in this city. As of um... there will be such a thing"
He looked at Iluna. Although the seventeen-year-old girl is not as beautiful as the witches, she is quite beautiful among non-witch groups. Even more because of his youth, he has a special youthful feeling that Miss Galina and Miss Aurora don't have.
The outsider still remembers the morning when he first met Iluna. He had just been in this world for a few days, and he was going to pick up "Peter's Pet Store" in Purple Iris Lane, which is very close to the Saint Teresa Square. Little Mia ran into Iruna at the door of the store.
At that moment, he seemed to feel that all the light around him dimmed, and only a ray of light shone on Iluna. However, none of the first candidates for the elect that I met after that, whether it was Darkness or Joey Barton, had such a strange feeling.
Grain
Seeing Xia De staring at her all the time, Iluna asked with some embarrassment, Xia De shook his head, and continued to stare at the flame in front of him:
"I thought of some strange things, just guessing. Anyway, it's better to solve the problem of Joey Barton first."
Twenty minutes of rest time is enough for Xia De to recover his physical strength and spirit by the campfire. When he stood up again, he felt that his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
I wanted to take a look around the church while I still had time. Just as he was thinking about how to persuade the high-ring warlocks in the church to allow him to take a look in the basement, he heard a dull but clear bell ringing from the depths of the white mist outside the church.
Everyone put down their work and listened carefully. It was nine consecutive bells. And after the bell rang, all the ceremonial supplies and ceremonial traces prepared for the sealing ceremony inside the church shone with a golden glow. On the wall at the end of the main chapel hangs the holy emblem of the God of Nature—two overlapping leaves, spreading miracle elements into the church, and outside the church, the white mist stirred up.
"here we go"
Iluna said softly.
Xia De frowned and looked towards the door of the church, his keen senses made him perceive further changes in the narrow space. The Whisper element, even inside the church, almost overwhelms the Miracle element. And farther away, he heard the roar of ancient evil beasts, and the rumbling sound of the ground, indicating that something was coming.
In the real Fort Midhill area, the major earthquake that had been notified in the newspaper in advance came as scheduled. With the rumbling sound of Mount Xikale as if it was about to crack, Midhill Fort shrouded in white mist was under the devastation from the mighty force of nature. Boulders are collapsing from the top of the real Mount Sikal, billows of black smoke are emerging from the mountain pass lake, the lake is boiling, and the extinct volcano is being reactivated.
Loof Lane, House of the Blind.
Sister Michelle stood in front of the window on the second floor, leaning on the window frame to feel the vibration of the building itself. There were still many people standing behind her. After Xia De left, there were quite a few ring magicians who came to seek help. Sister Michelle knows everyone's concerns, and she has them too. Sister Daveline had foretold what was to come, and she knew better than anyone how dreadful the night to come would be:
"This extinct volcano is finally about to erupt."
Santa Carla Avenue, Cassandra Auctions.
The old witch's young apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, comforted the staff who hadn't left the auction house in the foyer on the first floor, and organized the ring magicians left by the witch to prepare for the possible undead that would appear next. The severe earthquake made everyone's face look bad, but at this time, three strange figures appeared outside the auction house. They were three middle-aged men with pale complexions, and one of them was holding a thorn with a ruby embedded in his hand. A scepter, one wears six gemstone rings of different colors, and the other holds black and white double guns. They all look noble:
"Excuse me, Miss Grace White, is Miss Helen Black here? Here are their invitation letters."
The slums in the south of the city, Spider's End Alley.
The flower seller who had been bought by Shade at one time, together with her parents, brothers and sisters, huddled in a dilapidated house with air leaks, her eyes were closed and she was shivering in the earthquake. There was a howling wind outside the door, and something huge was moving slowly in the depths of the white mist, leaving a huge black shadow on the window.
This is the slums of Fort Midhill, the shelter of the proletarian poor who live in the city. No one can help them tonight but themselves. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the middle-aged man with a scruffy beard who was not tall, holding the only kitchen knife in the house, stopped in front of the family:
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you, Mary, Jenny, Dennis and little Harry."
Sikar Mountain, dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
The Royal De La Rion Army stationed in the Xical Mountain area has already found the positions that each team needs to protect in the forest. The fifty-member team led by Captain Lades is building fortifications and is responsible for protecting the A silver stake in the forest. The silver stake was inserted into the soil like a nail, and the intricate patterns on the surface made the young corporals wonder about its value.
Captain Ladds wore a cold cloak and stepped on his leather boots, looking at the foggy forest at night, and then looked down at the carrion corpse on the ground whose head had been blown off.
He held the amulet sent by Xia De in his hand, and even the sudden earthquake did not disturb the middle-aged man's thoughts:
"I always feel that something unbelievable will happen tonight. Is the dead resurrected? It turns out that the story is not a lie, and there is really legendary magic."
Church of the Five Gods.
The earthquake did not interfere with the ceremony that had been planned for a year. All the ring warlock teams who stayed behind in the real world were dispatched ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to enter the urban area to eliminate the undead who had become stronger again. Inside the church, along with the old priests called from all over the Old Continent, as well as the local earth ring warlocks, in the resplendent main hall of the church, wearing uniform white robes to participate in the prayer, five golden beams of light broke through the white mist from the church, Extending to the top of the head, the holy emblems representing the five righteous gods appeared under the starry sky in the dense fog at night.
A golden glow enveloped the entire city, making the real world of Mount Xikar seem to be illuminated by the city below the mountain. The sealing ceremony "Scar of the Holy Tree" has officially begun.
In the narrow natural church, the ordinary priests who were protected to enter the narrow space are praying in low voice around the bonfire in the center of the main chapel, and the ring magicians who are hurrying are holding spell-casting materials and their relics in front of the door And in front of the window, watching the constantly stirred white mist.
Hundreds of brass life rings appeared together, but the steam fog did not affect the vision too much. No one spoke, and everyone was waiting quietly.
The main part of the sealing ceremony is in reality, and the narrow church does not need too many additional ritual steps. What they have to do is to resist the attack of the undead hitting the death gate before the ceremony is officially completed.
The final battle is about to begin.
