Chapter 138: You’ve done something wrong, old man!
Originally, he was so frightened by the dazed people that he wanted to kill them directly, but he is just an ordinary old man now, and he has a premonition that disaster will befall him if he takes action.
Since he couldn't take action, and seeing that the other party outnumbered him, he had to leave here out of fear. As a result, he walked around for a long time, and somehow he ended up back behind the crowd. He tried to walk in the opposite direction, but ended up back to where he started. He was unfamiliar with the place, and for safety he had to expose himself.
Seeing that everyone wanted to attack him but was stopped by Li Ming, he snorted in fear, "Humph! It seems that you have also sensed that once you attack, we will all die. Let's put our own things aside for now. I'm telling you the truth. I just tried to get out of here, but I couldn't. You have more people, see if there is any way!"
Li Ming and Wei Changhai looked at each other in natural disbelief. They avoided fear and pulled the others to discuss something. Then they split into two teams and walked in opposite directions. Sure enough, five minutes later, they gathered together again.
"I told you that you couldn't get out. By the way, are you missing someone? Where's that weird woman from before?"
Li Ming and his friends had already noticed that Karen was missing. After all, everything that happened now might be related to her.
As they were discussing, the sky suddenly darkened. The originally bright sky became extremely dim in the blink of an eye, as if it had turned from day to night in an instant, catching people off guard. At this moment, a hymn suddenly came from afar. The sound was ethereal and beautiful, full of sacredness.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the singing, but they quickly realized, "It's Kailin!"
So, everyone immediately ran towards the location of the singing. For some reason, this time, everyone did not go back to the starting point like before, but successfully walked out of the endless wasteland.
When they followed the singing and found Karin, they discovered that she was still kneeling in front of the altar praying. Just as they were about to step forward, five skeletons suddenly emerged from the ground. They were the five that were summoned by fear before.
"So you're still here! Hurry up..." Fear thought the skeletons were his saviors when he saw them. Since they were not given bodies, it meant they were not affected by this place. As a result, just as he was about to run over, suddenly! A bone knife with a flash of white light chopped down his forehead. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been chopped into two pieces.
"How dare you devour my master!" He stepped back in fear.
At this moment, a black flame suddenly lit up in the eyes of the skeleton that was waving the knife at him. He looked at it with fear and dared not make another sound.
When fear retreated, the skeleton put away the bone knife again, but still blocked the way with the other four. It seemed that anyone who dared to take another step would be hacked to death.
The others also saw that these five skeletons would not let anyone pass at this time. The ghost baby took advantage of the number of people and directly started the taunting mode:
“Oh my! I spent so much effort to summon the power of my Lord, and now it is used to help others. I won’t tell you who broke my defense!”
"You!" He was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, but unfortunately he was the only one here and he didn't dare to do anything.
At this time, Li Ming saw that the ghost baby seemed to know something, so he asked: "Okay, do you know something? Do you know Kailin? It seems that Kailin is here to save you! Who is the master you are talking about? Can you tell me?"
The ghost baby raised his eyebrows and ignored Li Ming, looking at Fear provocatively, "Hey, this matter is a long story, you won't understand even if I tell you, anyway, old man, you are guilty!"
Fear's heart was beating fast, but he still said stubbornly: "What can happen to me? I am loyal to the master! But you, colluding with humans, do you want to betray the master?"
"You know whether you are on the side of the master or not. I am sure you were discovered when you ate the first A-level monster. That was when the master was in seclusion and had no time to pay attention to you. Guess who asked me to come?"
"That dog!!!" Fear was truly terrified at this moment, because he had never seen Zagros take action, but he was almost killed by Dahei's roar, so he was very secretive about it from him.
"A dog?" What kind of dog could frighten a top-level A-level weirdo? Li Ming had a strange sense of familiarity at this moment. For some reason, he suddenly thought of his next-door neighbor Huang Jue, but then he shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind. It should be just a coincidence!
At the same time, Kailin finally finished the whole ritual process. She showed a relieved expression on her face, but more of an excitement and anticipation that was difficult to conceal. She clasped her hands together, whispered a mysterious spell, and then slowly opened her eyes, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"Praise to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld!" With Karin's final low moan, suddenly, the offerings on the magic circle began to flicker with faint light, and then some of the offerings disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, a goddess whose face could not be seen clearly slowly appeared in front of the altar.
That figure exuded an incomparable pressure, making everyone present feel an irresistible force. Then, a majestic and emotionless female voice surged from the bottom of everyone's heart, as if it was a call from the abyss, making people shudder: "Tell me your wish!"
This voice seemed to not enter everyone's mind through their ears, but emerged directly from the depths of their hearts. It carried an irresistible majesty, making everyone's heart seem to be pressed down by a heavy mountain, and their breathing became heavy. Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the altar, their eyes filled with awe and fear.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world was immersed in a solemn atmosphere. No one dared to speak easily, for fear of angering this mysterious and powerful being. Only the sound of Kailin's heartbeat echoed in the silent air.
Karin faced the altar devoutly, with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, looking solemn and dignified. She said in the most sincere voice: "Eternal Mother of Death, please listen to my prayer!" Her voice was full of awe and earnestness.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes firm and focused. She stared at the altar in front of her, on which was placed the statue of Zagreus, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere. She took a deep breath and continued, "Eternal Mother of Death, please take back the power that my Lord Zagreus has scattered here! Let this land return to its original order."
Kailin's words were full of power and determination, as if she had already put her soul into them. Her voice echoed in the air, carrying an irresistible charm. As she prayed, a powerful energy began to gather around her, forming a huge vortex. This energy gradually became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow up the entire space.
At the same time, all the images around them were instantly shattered, and the originally clear scene suddenly became blurred, as if torn apart by a powerful force. Everyone's eyes were dark, and then a dazzling light flashed, and everyone felt dizzy. When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had returned to the monitoring base.
The wasteland where he was originally located disappeared, replaced by the familiar torn environment of the monitoring base. Everything around him seemed so real that he couldn't help but wonder if everything he had just experienced was just an illusion.
The ghost baby and fear returned to their original strange appearance. They stood quietly in place. However, at this moment, the five skeletons summoned by fear suddenly underwent strange changes.
The five skeletons summoned by fear suddenly emitted a mysterious green fluorescence. Then, thin and strange vines quickly emerged from the ground like mushrooms after rain.
These vines seemed to have life, spiraling up along the skeleton's frame and tightly wrapping around it at an astonishing speed. As the vines continued to spread and wrap around, the skeleton remained motionless, as if it was restrained by an invisible force.
Then the vines quickly blossomed and bore fruit, which flew into the hands of the goddess in front of Karin as soon as they ripened. The entangled skeleton and vines silently turned into ashes and drifted into the air.
At this time, the heart of fear screamed wildly, impossible, this is impossible, in his heart or all the weird hearts, the most powerful in this world is definitely their master, but he did not expect that an existence that appeared now could eliminate the power of death. However, he ignored the words that Kailin had recited Zagros as the master.
Seeing the skeleton in front of her turn into ashes, Kailin couldn't help but swallow her saliva, then slowly turned her head to look at the offerings that had not yet been used up. At this moment, a faint but tempting thought emerged in her mind: "Maybe, I can make another wish?" However, almost at the same moment, she shook her head vigorously to drive this idea out of her mind.
Last time, Dahei took the price of her wish, but what about this time? If she really made another wish, the remaining offerings alone would probably not be enough to pay the corresponding price.
Therefore, Kailin took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and told herself not to be greedy anymore. Thinking of Dahei's warning, she didn't dare to relax at all, and her movements became extra cautious. She carefully took out the crystal dagger.
Next, she only needs to use this dagger to destroy the lines of the magic circle. Once the magic circle is incomplete, the altar will automatically close.
But when she was about to draw the line, a sigh came from somewhere, and then the shadow of a black wall suddenly appeared on the altar in front of her, looming like a phantom.
When this shadow appeared, Kailin's dagger could not penetrate the ground any further, as if it was blocked by an invisible force. She stared at the scene with wide eyes, her face full of astonishment, the dagger in her hand trembling, but unable to move forward any further.
Suddenly, beads of sweat rolled down Kailin's forehead, and her face turned pale as paper. What on earth was going on? Why was it like this? Why was it different from what Dahei said?
She originally thought that everything would go smoothly if she followed Dahei's instructions, but now she was caught in such a weird situation. She couldn't help but start to wonder if she had done something wrong.
She tried desperately to pull out the dagger, but found that it seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground and could not be pulled out no matter what. The shadow of the black wall quietly floated above the altar, exuding a mysterious and magnificent atmosphere.
Just as she was struggling, a slender white hand suddenly appeared, and like a phantom, it penetrated her palm and took away the crystal dagger.
Kailin looked up in astonishment, and then she realized that it was the phantom she had summoned before. This phantom should have been illusory and looming, but at this moment it suddenly became real. Her figure was clearly visible, no longer blurry.
The phantom was dressed in a white gauze dress, which wrapped its graceful figure lightly and elegantly. It wore a pomegranate crown on its head, which complemented the white gauze dress and looked particularly beautiful. Although the phantom's face was still blurry and people could not see its specific appearance, the breath it exuded was as harmonious and pleasant as spring. This breath gave people a feeling of warmth, comfort and tranquility, as if they were in the embrace of nature.
"The Queen of Hell!" Kailin was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her eyes widened with disbelief. She could never have imagined that she would actually summon the Queen of Hell's consciousness.
She couldn't help but think of the luxurious offerings that Dahei had given her just now, and secretly wondered in her heart: "Could it be that Dahei had added some rare treasures to that bottle of offerings?" However, even so, she didn't dare to believe that she could really summon the consciousness of the Queen of the Underworld. After all, the Queen of the Underworld was a legendary existence, so how could she be worthy of the Queen of the Underworld's consciousness?
However, everything in front of her told her that this was not an illusion, but a real thing. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She couldn't embarrass her boss. What a shame! She didn't forget what the current priest's job was. Could it be that the tomorrow of this world was not an infected body, but because she summoned the Queen of the Underworld, it directly led to the destruction of the world? ? ?
"Haha, you think too much. I am just a trace of consciousness that has descended. Once I leave the underworld, I will be the God of Spring. So there is no need to worry that my power will cause the destruction of the world." Persephone explained in a gentle tone, as if she had seen through Cailin's heart.
After hearing this, Kailin felt relieved, but she couldn't help asking, "I thought I just summoned a little bit of your power, but I didn't expect it would attract your attention?"
Persephone smiled and replied, "I just sensed a familiar power calling me, I didn't expect it to be a crazy woman, and these two, how come they also have the aura of Zagreus?"
