Chapter 2464: The Sacrifice Site Arrives
When Shad returned to the manor with Mia, Luvia and Tifa, the only witches left in the manor were Vanessa, who was responsible for updating the sand table in real time, and Miss Belindel, who was not very good at fighting.
The countess was relieved to see that Shade was safe and sound, and exchanged glances with Luvia. When the blonde opera singer saw Shade coming back to the study, she took the initiative to hug him, and the smell of perfume on her body made Shade twitch his nose subconsciously.
"Carina and the others are in town, so you don't have to worry."
"How is the situation now?"
In the thick white fog and darkness outside the window, you can vaguely see fires rising in various places in the city.
"The city is in chaos right now, and we don't know the exact situation yet. But at least the church is still in control of the situation. Oh, Sister Defulin just came back, and when she saw you were not there, she went back to the city."
Miss Belindel said, and Luvia suddenly asked:
"Joey Patton and Marilyn Handel haven't arrived yet?"
"No, at least I haven't received any news yet."
The Countess shook her head again, knowing why Luvia asked this question.
The "Guardians of the Earth" haven't arrived yet either. Shad guessed that they would come only at the last minute.
"Shad!"
After knocking on the door, Dorothy and Lesia walked in together. After returning to the manor from the boat, the two officially started today's Red Butterfly Day.
"I am fine."
Shade smiled and responded to the blonde and red-haired girls. Although Grace and Helen were still on the ship, they were ready for the "Chosen One of Space" to appear at any time.
In this way, balance, death, space, and earth can all join in the next battle. As for Shad himself, in addition to the burning divinity and the help of several others, he also brought the [Arrow of the Chosen One of Aiken Ola].
[Star Trace] can fire this arrow. Of course, Shade cannot exert the effect of the arrow by himself. He must cooperate with others to maximize the power of the arrow.
"Where is the bloated and dead body I need?"
Shade asked again, and the Countess answered again:
"It's in the coffin in the basement. You can turn it into a toy and carry it with you."
This corpse is the material for the advent of the Lord of the Blood Feast, but Shade must also have a strong desire for "gluttony" to call upon Him, which requires the cooperation of the "mermaid".
As for summoning the God of Vampires - [Vampire Duke Laoel], Mr. Bernhardt will help prepare the ceremony and the necessary materials, and he will appear at the appropriate location with a group of priests at that time.
The only thing that needed to be prepared was the body of the god. In the dream when the two met, the blood-sucking god was vague about this, but Shade could guess what to do.
At this time, the one that symbolizes the "Red Moon" among the three "Moon Slates" that serve as the key to open the "Silver Moon Library" was quietly suspended on the table, and Mia stepped on it and "flew" with great interest.
The "Red Moon Slate" alone is certainly not enough, but Shade also has his own ideas.
"And your armor."
Vanessa suddenly asked:
"Sirius is looking at Emilia and Ajelina now. Are you sure you want Emilia to keep wearing it?"
"Yes, the city will be in danger soon. It may not be safe here. Iluna said she doesn't like wearing armor. I don't have much solar power, so there's no need for her to wear it. Let it protect Emilia. She has no resistance to special light. Although it's highly likely that she won't be needed this time, safety comes first after all."
The Witch of the Earth nodded and said nothing more. Luvia was about to suggest another divination for what would happen next, when suddenly the ground shook violently, and then the brightness of the "pillars of light" connecting the earth and the sky outside the window suddenly increased to an extremely dazzling level.
Thirteen beams of light rushed into the sea of stars, and a huge ritual array with them as the core appeared in the night. Vanessa immediately went to see the sand table she made, and then everyone was surprised to see that a giant gray stone building appeared out of thin air in the sky above the Civic Square.
"【Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site】is here!"
The huge gray stone building that appeared at this time was much larger than the two times Shade had seen it before. Compared with the sacrificial site, it now looked more like the floating island where the Zalas Academy of Literature was located, which Leicia had described to Shade.
"It's in the air, it hasn't landed!"
Luvia said softly, and Shade picked up the night watchman he had just put down:
"Ms. Belindel, you and Vanessa stay in the manor to protect this stronghold. If you need to retreat, don't go into the city, go directly to the ship. Luvia, you also stay here and keep an eye on Emilia and Ocarina of Time. You know what I mean."
"What about us?"
Miss Writer asked, and Shade shook his head:
"There's no rush now. If the gods come to this stage, there's no way to stop them. If we push them too far, I'm afraid that god will come in a more horrible way."
After all, the [Dragon Devourer] is determined to win this time.
"Wait for Grace and Helen to come back, and then decide whether to stay or go to the sacrificial site. You are not needed yet. But if you go there, you must meet up with me or Sister Devlin first. I will rest assured, but don't take any risks."
The princess and the writer also nodded slightly:
"Be careful yourself."
So Shade packed up the things he needed to take with him and went to the basement to turn the coffin into a toy and put it away. Mia stayed in the manor, and he would not take this cat to face the evil god directly.
Before leaving, he looked at the [Angel's Right Arm] again:
"Luvia, I have too many relics on me. This sword is left in the manor. If you can meet Father Augustus, give this to him."
The purple-eyed girl asked worriedly:
"Is the priest all right now?"
"It's okay. He figured it out after crying. Don't say it was me who said it."
"But how are you going to fly up there?"
The Countess asked:
"With the current height of the sacrificial field, you can't get up there, right? Do you want to use the little unicorn? Or should I take you up there? I can fly now."
"Let little Lianna stay and protect Emilia. I'll go find Iluna."
Xia De finally confirmed that everything he had was there:
"Don't worry about me, this matter will be resolved smoothly, just like before."
As he spoke and laughed, he waved to the girls who came to see him off. Even the elf girl and the little princess were there. They just watched Shade turn around and leave, and his figure quickly disappeared in the fog.
"I have a very bad feeling."
Ajelina muttered to herself, and then suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her.
She immediately covered her mouth and looked at her sister, only to find that Leicia was looking at Luvia:
"what happened?"
The girl with purple eyes shook her head:
"Wait until the God's Descent Ceremony in the sacrificial field begins and the witches who are out come back, and Bella and I will go to the sacrificial field together. Then, Emilia, you take the little unicorn and Ajelina to the boat, it will be safer over there."
"Luvia, are you hiding something from us?"
Miss Writer asked, but she only saw the unusually solemn expression on Luvia's face.
As soon as the huge sacrificial site floating above the city appeared, the church ring sorcerers who stayed in the city had already launched an attack on it. The city defense ceremony with the five cathedrals as the core of the ceremony even erupted thousands of light cannons to bombard the sacrificial site in the rain and snow at night. However, due to the invisible space barrier covering the sacrificial site, it only shattered some rubble outside the sacrificial site.
Even without this space barrier, it is not easy to enter the sacrificial site by flying. The giant dragon and gargoyle that flew out of the ancient gray stone building have already stopped the ring warlocks who were already prepared to deal with the cultists.
The intensity of the battle this time was much higher than the one that just broke out in the city. Balls of fire bloomed in the night, and the screams and roars sounded particularly strange amid the sounds of wind, rain and snow.
"This time, the Dragon Feast Cult probably took out all its wealth."
Iluna, who was riding a skeleton horse, said to Shade, who was hugging her waist from behind:
"Although the Dragon Feast Cult has always been considered a relatively strong cult in this era, they cannot openly recruit believers, nor can they obtain a large amount of resources like churches and colleges. If they fail this time, it is estimated that the cult will most likely cease to exist."
"This is the instruction of the god they believe in. They don't want to do this, but Lei Qiang!"
Shade threw out the silver-white thunder in his hand, smashing the gargoyle flying towards them. Iluna also focused and stopped talking. At this time, the height of the two of them had reached a similar position to the huge sacrificial site in the sky, which meant that they were about to join the battle.
"There is a space barrier outside, Xia De, is there any way to get in?"
The spatial barrier that Iluna could feel was naturally felt by Shade as well:
"Using the Night Watchman and the [Key to the Door], we can barely open a gap. I will hide first, and you find a way to get closer to the sacrificial site."
"no problem."
As soon as Iluna finished speaking, she felt the hands holding her waist disappear. Before she could react to what happened, the silver cat climbed from her back to her shoulders and then jumped in front of her.
The eighteen-year-old girl tried hard to suppress the expression on her face. She held the reins of the skeleton horse with one hand and pressed the cat directly into her coat with the other.
Then he raised his left hand excitedly, and fired a shot of the Sun Gun, causing a golden explosion in the clouds above Yuewan City:
"Help me open a path. I want to enter the sacrificial field. The God-summoning ceremony is about to begin!"
She shouted loudly, and then everyone including the "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria Ingram and the "Son of Light" Mr. Ellin White of the Church of Dawn helped her blast a short passage in the night fog, allowing the balanced chosen one to fly straight to the outer barrier of the sacrificial site.
