Chapter 112 Now that you are here, how can I let you run away?
After the magic circle absorbed the translator's body, it suddenly began to flicker as if there was a bad connection. Even its operation was a little stuck, as if it would go out at any time.
"Damn it!"
"Oops!"
Peeta and Zagros also cursed in their hearts. Peeta's flesh and blood during translation was absorbed by the magic circle, which caused errors in the operation of the magic circle. His flesh and blood contaminated other materials of the magic circle. Although he saved his life, the god Talba could not descend because of changes in the medium of the magic circle.
This god is not a good person and is usually moody. Previously, Talba obviously liked Huang Jue as a sacrifice, but now he is stuck and the duck in his mouth flew away. He doesn't know whether Talba will bear a grudge against him when he faces him again. Who knows, because of this accident, he may be the first sacrifice to die when he is summoned next time.
As for Zagros, the sudden stop of the magic circle must have alarmed Talba's body. He had half of his body squeezed out in a daze, but was suddenly pinched by the magic circle. Talba must have felt something was wrong and wanted to withdraw immediately.
"Now that you're here, how can I let you run away?"
At this time, half of Talba's body had already come in, and Zagros would naturally not let him go. The shadow under his feet stretched rapidly and directly reached into Talba's shadow. The moment Talba was touched by Zagros's shadow, he seemed to be fixed, and no matter how he struggled, he could not retract into the magic circle.
At this time, Zagros broke the rope on his body and walked towards Huang Ye and Peeta step by step in the horrified eyes of them.
Peeta broke free from the restraints of the magic circle the moment Zagros took action. Unlike Huang Ye, a mortal, Peeta's spirituality was much stronger than Huang Ye's, so what he saw was far more terrifying than what Huang Ye saw.
In his eyes, the Zagreus that was approaching step by step was like a bottomless abyss of death, and this abyss was filled with endless terror and despair.
Just one look at this terrifying existence and Peeta's eyes suddenly made a "pop" sound, and then his eyeballs exploded. He kept covering his eyes and began to wail, but even though he was blind, his soul still kept watching Zagros through some connection.
"Who are you! Who are you?" Peeta shouted while backing away. Zagros had no time to pay attention to him now. The right thing to do was to catch Talba first.
But even if he didn't make any move, his existence itself was a threat to everyone present. At this moment, Peeta knew that relying on himself would be a dead end, and now he could only pin his hopes on the god Talba.
He fumbled to snatch the Talba statue from Huang Ye's hand, and at the same time chanted scriptures loudly, as if he wanted to awaken the protection of the gods with pious prayers.
But now his god couldn't even protect himself, so how could he care about him? As Peeta kept praying, he didn't get any power. He simply gritted his teeth and swung the sharp part of the statue, stabbing his abdomen continuously. The blood kept flowing but was absorbed by the statue. He wanted to sacrifice his own flesh and blood to forcibly obtain Talba's power.
Talba naturally did not disappoint his expectations. As a creature born from faith, since the believers had held a special ceremony, he had to complete an equivalent transaction, especially now that Talba's real body was still in front of Peeta, and Peeta instantly borrowed a large amount of divine power.
Talba's power was constantly flowing through Peeta's body like a blade. The severe pain made Peeta temporarily forget the horror of looking directly at Zagros. Talba's power also temporarily gave him a new perspective. Peeta stared at Zagros, but he took out a pistol from his arms and aimed at Zagros who had his back to him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Peeta fired three shots in a row, but all the bullets penetrated Zagros' body and hit the opposite wall the moment they hit him. Peeta didn't believe it and fired a few more shots, but Zagros still seemed to have no substance.
He was not interested in these minions now. Instead, he stretched out a hand, grabbed one of Talba's palms, and began to pull his body forcibly.
If he had been hiding in the sea of faith of the believers before, half of him belonged to this world, and Zagros would have no way to deal with him for a while, after all, it could hide in the body of any believer.
However, once Talba's true form descended into the real world, he was reduced from a god believed in by all people to a complete S-level weird existence.
Weird, no matter what his form is, whether he is a god or a human, as long as he has a touch of weirdness, he is part of Zagreus' power.
Therefore, the moment Talba's body came into contact with Zagreus, Talba lost the power to resist, but the divine part of Talba still fought stubbornly, trying to hide again in the faith of all living beings.
The current situation is more like Zagros playing tug-of-war with all Talba's followers, and Talba himself is roaring loudly because of being constantly torn apart. Fortunately, this house has been covered by Zagros' power, and Talba's power is spreading out.
However, the current situation is not what Zagros wants to see. If it continues like this, Talba will probably be torn into two pieces, and then the statue of Talba will not be complete. Zagros' eyes turned, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at Peeta standing beside him.
The moment Peeta was stared at by Zagros, he felt numb all over. He no longer knew what kind of existence he was facing, so he turned around and ran away. It was obvious that this situation was no longer something he could solve.
Peeta can feel that his connection with the Talba statue is getting weaker and weaker, which means that Talba can't hold on for much longer, so he quickly escapes while there is still some power of Talba in his body. Who knows, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Huang Ye was also smart. He had been standing still to minimize his presence, but now when he saw Peeta start to run away, he immediately followed.
Fortunately, the new house was not big, and the two of them ran to the door in just a dozen seconds. The moment Peeta opened the door, Huang Ye saw the bodyguard outside and immediately shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Go and kill the people inside!"
When they saw the bodyguards rushing in, they turned around and ran out the door without saying a word.
"I can't let you get away!"
Zagrous glanced outside the door and found that they had run to the gate of the villa. Just as they were about to escape through the gate, Zagrous suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the outside of the door.
The next second, a strong suction force suddenly emerged, like an invisible giant hand tightly grasping Huang Ye and Peeta. Their bodies, which were originally running forward, began to move backwards involuntarily, and no matter how they struggled, they could not break free from this terrible force.
Seeing the open door in front of them slowly closing, Huang Ye and Peeta were instantly filled with despair. They tried their best to stop the retreat, but the suction did not allow them to resist and dragged them back into the house amid their wailing.
"Bang!" The door of the villa slammed shut after they were dragged in.
"Hurry, he can't leave the magic circle, we just need to break the door and get out!" Peeta glanced at Zagros and found that most of Talba's body had been pulled out, but Zagros itself did not move. He instantly knew that Zagros could not leave the range of the magic circle, so he wanted to break down the door and get out.
"What are you standing there for? If you don't want to die, hurry up and smash them together!"
Although Huang Ye didn't understand what he said, he could understand it from his gestures. He was about to find something to smash, but found that the bodyguards in the room were motionless.
"Are you fucking deaf? Why don't you…"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a series of inky black human shadows suddenly appear under the feet of the bodyguards.
However, these shadows seemed to have their own consciousness, and they performed various postures that violated the physiological limits of human beings in a slow and strange manner.
What's even more terrifying is that as these shadows kept changing their postures, the bodyguards' faces suddenly became distorted, and their faces were filled with all kinds of painful expressions. They wanted to howl, but Huang Ye saw that their mouths were already pitch black, as if blocked by a layer of black film, and their limbs began to involuntarily imitate the movements of the shadows.
