Chapter 82 Victims (Fifth Thank You to the Golden Alliance Under the Sycamore Tree)
After feeling the light dimm, Lumian quickly opened his eyes.
The black robe worn by the "Invisible Man" lay on the altar, its surface covered in scorched marks, but it did not stop, trying to stand up again against the golden flames created by Valentine.
The transparent faces, including Raymond, continue to disappear and reappear, as if the destroyed "future" has returned to the "present" where nothing happened.
Seeing this, Ryan immediately shouted:
"Squat!"
Lumian bent his knees without hesitation and squatted down.
If it wasn't too late, he even wanted to lie directly on the ground.
Leah and Valentine were not much slower than him, and also squatted down.
At the same time, Lane inserted the "Sword of Dawn" in his hand into the center of the altar and into the black robe.
Silently, the giant sword of light disintegrated into countless fragments, turning into a brilliant morning storm in the altar, tearing everything apart and destroying everything.
When the hurricane formed by the light subsided, Lumian looked up and saw that the entire altar was one-third shorter, and the thorn symbols, candle oils, and black robes all disappeared, turning into powder and floating in the air.
This trick is so strong...... Lumian wanted to sigh like this yesterday afternoon.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Lia stood up and turned in a circle in place, the four small silver bells on her veil and boots jingling again, not soothing or intense.
"There are hidden dangers." She reminded Ryan and Valentine, and then muttered to herself in confusion, "The altar is gone, where does the danger come from?"
As she spoke, Valentine created golden flames that floated in mid-air and shone around.
At the edge of the basement, there was nothing else except stacked human bones and a few pieces of sheepskin, and the ceiling was simple and simple, not even a chandelier.
Lumian said "hey":
"No extraordinary characteristics?"
"Maybe it was sacrificed." Ryan said simply, "It may also be that they didn't accept many 'gifts' at the beginning, and their strength was not strong, so they could only catch ordinary people as sacrifices, and wait until they had good extraordinary abilities, such as this time, before they started targeting extraordinary people."
It can be seen that they are no strangers to the phenomenon of receiving "gifts".
Ryan then said:
"There is no other discovery at the moment, let's leave, there is no need to confront the hidden danger."
Lumian didn't react, and looked around again, looking for such a thing as a secret door from the subtle traces.
The answer is no.
He led the way ahead, leading Lia, Lane, and Valente along a safe route to the basement exit.
Just came out and returned to the narrow and steep stairs, Ryan suddenly snorted in pain.
His body flew up by itself and slammed into the side of the brown wooden door in the basement, causing obvious vibrations to be felt in the staircase area.
"Poof"!
Ryan's chest seemed to be pierced by an invisible spear, revealing an exaggerated wound, which caused his whole body to be nailed to the wall, and blood flowed out.
If he hadn't reacted extremely quickly, moving his waist and twisting his body in an instant, this would definitely pierce his heart.
And Lia, who always had her "spiritual vision" on, couldn't find the attacker at all!
It's like Lane is being punished by the gods.
Before they could find the source of the problem, Liya's expression with a smile instantly distorted.
Her arms folded backwards on their own.
With a click, her bones broke and her arms hung limply.
Immediately afterwards, there was a noticeable depression in her abdomen, as if she had been hit by a huge fist, which made her unable to help but take a step back and hit the wall on her side.
Valentine, who had not yet climbed the stairs, screamed.
The ribs on his chest were broken inward one by one, as if someone had been hit hard with a giant hammer.
A bloody wound appeared on Leah and Valentine's abdomen and chest, which penetrated their bodies and inserted into the stone wall.
Lumian was a little stunned, dazed by this inexplicable change, and happy that he seemed to have not been attacked by this strange attack.
That black thorn symbol protects me? As soon as he flashed such a thought, he suddenly felt that he was pushed by an invisible force and leaned against the wall on the side of the stairs.
In his "spiritual vision", there was nothing in front of him.
Thinking of what happened to Ryan and the others, Lumian immediately moved his body to the side.
The severe pain instantly filled his mind, the skin on his right chest burst, the flesh and blood bloomed, and he could vaguely see the lung lobes inside.
Lumian only felt as if there was an additional substantial rod-like thing there, piercing himself and nailing it to the wall.
As his bright red blood flowed, Lane filled the area with spots of dawn, effectively dispelling evil and deciphering illusions.
However, the four of them still couldn't see anything.
Bang!
Ryan's chest was hit invisibly with a hammer, and it was deeply sunken inward.
While Lia's veil and the small silver bells on her boots echoed violently, the nails on her hands were pried open one by one by an invisible force, pulled out, and stained with blood.
This unspeakable pain made her unable to control her expression anymore, her face distorted and frightened.
Valentine opened his hands and directly let the divine pillar of light that fell out of nowhere fall on him.
The sun's light burst out, purging all evil and igniting Valentine's body.
But under the light of the "sun", his hands suddenly stretched back uncontrollably, pressing against the wall.
Two blood-colored holes immediately appeared on his wrist, and they were nailed to the wall.
When the light subsided, Valentine's face was scorched and darkened, and his skin was being peeled off inch by inch, peeling off abruptly.
Seeing what happened to them, Lumian couldn't help but feel pain for them.
I don't know if the black thorn symbol played a role, he was relatively not so miserable, but he was constantly slapped by an invisible force, one left side, one right, one left, one right, one on the right, making his face red and swollen, his teeth loose, and he couldn't speak.
When a new round of attacks was about to come, Lumian's eyes flashed and he saw a wilderness.
In the distance are mountains, and in the near is the wilderness of green grass.
Two devil-like creatures with horns pulled a conch-like dark red open-top carriage and quickly came to Lumian and the others from a distance.
Sitting in the car was a woman wearing a fresh green dress and a flower laurel crown, her long brown hair was pulled high, her brown eyes were bright and watery, and her temperament was majestic and noble, just like Mrs. Puaris, who had matured a lot.
She kept her promise to help a little? Lumian was surprised at first, and then delighted to find that he and the others were no longer attacked by the invisible force.
For some reason, he never felt that the person in front of him was Mrs. Puaris, or that it was not exactly the same as Mrs. Puaris, she was like an unnatural product of Mrs. Pualis stitched together with some kind of will.
In comparison, Lumian prefers to call this "Lady of the Night".
Unlike when they met on the other side of the world, Mrs. Pualis held an oak branch with mistletoe wrapped around the top of the root in one hand and a small bowl made of green emerald in the other.
The small bowl had a shimmering liquid.
Mrs. Pualis dipped the oak branch in the liquid in the emerald bowl and sprinkled them on Lumian and the others.
After she sprinkled it three times in a row, Lumian found that the wound on her chest began to heal rapidly, the redness and swelling on her face quickly subsided, and she no longer felt like she was nailed to the wall and couldn't move.
Lia, Lane, and Valentine were also completely healed, and they couldn't see the cruel injuries they had just suffered.
"What attacked us?" Lumian spoke with the mentality of asking without losing anything.
Mrs. Puaris, who was sitting in the dark red carriage, said in a condescending manner:
"You are a little bit of a 'sufferer' aura, fortunately only a little, otherwise you will have to consider restarting."
"The breath of the 'sufferer', what is this?" Lumian glanced at Ryan and the others, and found that they were also puzzled.
Madame Pualis replied softly:
"That's all I know."
"Then do you know what happened to the dead wizards and owls in the cemetery?" Lumian asked.
Madame Pualis glanced at him:
"If I had known, things wouldn't have turned out like this, I originally planned to run this place as my 'territory', but now I have to leave."
Operate into your territory? Lumi was shocked and felt that falling into a cycle didn't seem to be entirely a bad thing:
"If Madame Pualis really achieves her original goal, Aurore and I don't know what number of children we will have now!
"Compared to this ending, it is not so difficult to accept that being caught in a cycle can be destroyed at any time.
"At least die innocent!"
Madame Pualis glanced at Leah and the others, without saying a word, and let the two devil-like dark creatures pull the conch-like carriage towards the depths of the wilderness.
When her figure disappeared from the eyes of Lumian and the others, the wilderness disappeared.
At this time, they found that they and the others were still in the basement, half on the stairs, approaching the wooden door.
If it weren't for their blood and fallen nails still on the ground and walls, they would definitely have thought that they had just encountered a real illusion.
"Let's leave first." Ryan quickly came back to his senses and ordered Valentine, "Dispose of the traces we left behind."
Valentine nodded and summoned illusory golden flames that burned blood and nails.
All the way back to the church, the four were not attacked again.
I don't know if that bit of "sufferer" aura was consumed clean, or it was removed by the liquid spilled by Mrs. Puaris.
Lumian was about to leave here through the side door when he suddenly saw the priest Michelle of the Dungeon Hall. Gary Gu was standing outside the room where several sleeping servants were placed, staring inside in a daze.
This guy came back with a full stomach? Lumian was just about to dodge, but Michele, who had curly brown hair and a handsome appearance, suddenly turned her head sideways and saw them.
Ryan was staying over to knock this guy out, Michelle. Gary had already asked with an unusually enthusiastic smile:
"Are you here to pray? Do you need to confess?"
Everyone else in this church has fallen, but you care about confession or not? Lumian looked at Michele as if he were looking at a crazy person.
Compared to last time, this guy's abnormality is clearly revealed!
ps: I want a monthly pass for the fifth watch~ Well, there is the first update tomorrow at 0:50.
