Chapter 43: |
“Huff huff… The ability to transform into blood makes one immune to physical attacks. How annoying.”
Mas sat next to Lin, panting heavily. “But as a Burning Son, not only do I control real flames, I also have the flames to burn spirits.”
“This time, it’s all thanks to the strange item given to me by the high priest!”
Mas picked up the black stone, his face suddenly filled with fear and horror.
There was a price to pay for using strange items!
He had used the ability of a high-ranking dark chaser, and the price was flesh and blood rich in spirituality!
“Luckily, those two idiots are dead. Their flesh and blood is enough to satisfy the requirements of the ‘Light Devouring Stone’!”
Mas muttered to himself. He saw that the patterns on the stone had turned into a large mouth full of sharp teeth. He immediately moved the cultist’s body, which had been pierced by the sharp blade, to cover the top of the stone.
Crunch, crunch!
“Not enough.”
Mas immediately retreated to move the headless body.
Not that he didn’t want to ask Rem and the others guarding the back door for help, but it wasn’t good to be seen treating his subordinates like this.
He moved the two corpses and watched as the ‘Light Devouring Stone’ devoured the flesh and blood of the corpses and returned to its original form. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and prepared to retrieve the strange item.
At that moment, he suddenly yawned. “Wait… why is there so much powder in the air…”
Mas’ thoughts became more and more blurred. He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, unconsciously wanting to activate the strange item.
But it was too late.
In the void, some invisible threads had appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around his neck, strangling him violently.
Poof!
Mas’ headless body fell to the ground. The stone in his hand rolled some distance away, but still didn’t move.
Thud thud!
Footsteps shook the ground. Olivia walked over, picked up the Light Devouring Stone and checked Lin’s condition. “Luckily, she’s fine…”
She took out a small metal bottle and poured some medicine into Lin’s mouth.
“I …”
Lin struggled to wake up. “Where’s the Burning Son?”
“He’s dead. I’ve also taken care of the two cultists guarding the back door … Barnard is watching them. One of them, Calvin, was quite cooperative. He told me directly that Mas was carrying a strange item. That’s why I’ve come to help you. ”
Olivia said.
Lin looked at the corpse next to her and couldn’t help but be silent: “You want to recruit [Black Sun] believers?”
“Yes. My master may be able to awaken their free will as long as they are not too deeply polluted…”
Olivia searched Mas’ body and found some spiritual materials and a black book.
She slowly read the name of the book, turned a few pages and then closed her eyes. “Some of the mystical knowledge in this book is very useful. After you learn it, you can offer it as a sacrifice to the Lord … Hmm, be careful when you read it, it has a slight spiritual pollution …”
Lin on the other hand looked at Mas’ body and gritted her teeth: “I want to sacrifice the dark spirituality in his body to my Lord!”
…
At Blackstone Manor.
Aaron put his hand on the burning candle and silently felt the change in temperature … A warm feeling spread in the palm of his hand. It was warm, but not scorching, and there was no painful burning sensation.
A moment later, he withdrew his hand and carefully examined his jade-like palm. He noticed that there were no scars on it.
“Is this the power of the dark Spirituality?”
Aaron murmured in a low voice: “It doesn’t seem to be of much use, except for allowing me to escape from fire…”
After successfully stopping the Burning Son’s team, Olivia and Lin returned to the department store branch and sacrificed the Burning Son’s spirituality and the contents of dark’s Secret Manual.
If Olivia hadn’t stopped her, Lin would have offered the Light Devouring Stone to Aaron.
However, Aaron decided that even if the other party wanted to offer a sacrifice, he would not accept it.
After all, whether it was spirituality or knowledge, they were all immaterial things.
Compared to tangible things, there were bound to be some differences, and this was an area he had yet to explore.
“I wonder if the so-called strange objects can break through the barriers of the world …”
Aaron murmured in a low voice.
According to Olivia, the so-called strange objects were the combination of spirituality and real objects. They often had many unimaginable abilities.
Most of them came from the successful or failed sacrificial activities of cult groups and secret organisations.
It could be said that there was a lot of coincidence involved, and it was difficult to create at the moment.
More importantly, it was very dangerous!
Even if it was just carried, it would be constantly and easily contaminated and corroded!
Not to mention, every time it was used, the strange objects would cause extremely strong negative effects that had to be smoothed out using various methods.
Otherwise, it would definitely backfire on its owner!
“However, the price is very high and the power is very great… This Light Devouring Stone is equivalent to half of a ‘Dark Hunter’… The Black Sun Cult has lost so many people and an important item. They will definitely continue to investigate, right?”
Aaron felt a bit helpless.
As a god, he could not personally tell the two women how to resist and how to hide.
Furthermore, Lin clearly had a deep hatred for the Black Sun Cult. When she heard that her enemy had arrived, she immediately began to take revenge in the name of cleansing a god’s territory. This made Aaron feel a bit helpless.
“Even with Olivia, we might not be able to hold her back… Not to mention that Lin has found out about Eyke’s death…”
In fact, Aaron had already guessed that Eyke would not have a happy ending.
But this news would definitely upset Lin.
“I can only let her take revenge in the future … She’ll send herself to her death if she leaves now …”
Aaron rubbed his forehead.
“Lord Aaron, scholar Albert requests an audience!”
At that moment Daly came back in and asked for instructions.
“Looks like there’s something else …”
Aaron waved his hand and Daly quickly left. Not long after, the plump Albert came in and bowed. “Lord Aaron, regarding Knight Iman, Raven of Sotos Castle has responded. The Count has approved of your actions and has ordered the Knights of the Upper Green Forest to capture the people on the list.”
“This was expected. What else …” Aaron looked at Albert, who refused to leave, and asked with a smile.
“There is also unconfirmed news. The Count intends to make you Char’s godfather.”
