Chapter 545: Will Rand also have the opportunity to save Bolan?
In theory, the Mother Goddess only accepts living creatures as sacrifices.
These offerings, which were supposed to be offered to Grand Prince Vladimir, were theoretically dead objects.
In fact, it is not just the Black Goat Mother who accepts only living creatures as sacrifices. Almost all evil gods only accept living creatures as sacrifices.
Rand is a master of sacrifice, and he is very sensitive to things like sacrifice.
Grand Prince Vladimir did something unknown to him that caused the sacrifices to remain in a state of stasis for a short period of time after they were sacrificed.
In short, although it has been sacrificed, it has not yet been truly used, and at least for now it will still be regarded as a living creature.
This kind of sacrifice in a strange stagnant state may only be used to open up a passage and may be rejected by the Mother Goddess, but it doesn’t matter.
That's what Rand can exploit.
He didn't need these sacrifices for anything, he just needed to prevent them from being used by Grand Duke Vladimir.
At this time, Grand Duke Vladimir did not know what was happening.
He could only feel that the advent ceremony, which had been proceeding steadily, had stopped.
Grand Duke Vladimir, who had been arrogant and felt that everything was under control, suddenly became shrill, like a rooster with its neck strangled.
"What did you do?"
Grand Prince Vladimir asked sharply.
"I'm just making cause and effect work." Rand had no intention of explaining the reasons for everything. The opponent on the other side was a demigod, and maybe there were some means to reverse it all. It would be bad if he explained and gave the opponent a chance to turn the tables.
"What is causality?"
"The villain dies because of talking too much."
Ellie was the only one present who understood what Rand said, because Rand would occasionally tell Ellie these jokes.
For example, the villain died because he talked too much.
Therefore, in such a serious situation, hearing Rand's outrageous answer made Ellie couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Grand Duke Vladimir already knew that Rand was playing a trick on him.
The projection that had arrived in the main world ahead of time in front of everyone stopped talking, and stared at Rand standing on the altar with his scarlet eyes.
"I'm going to kill you."
Grand Prince Vladimir uttered a piercing scream.
Rand exhaled softly. The Mother Goddess really rejected this sacrifice. But it didn't matter. Grand Duke Vladimir would never have the chance to use these sacrifices.
Now He is coming by force.
The consequence of this forced arrival may be sudden destruction by the rules of the main world.
But Grand Duke Vladimir could no longer bear to stay in that burnt and smelly place of Purgatory.
The White King Bolan and the Archmage Ellie would naturally not let this evil demigod succeed.
Frost and magic raged and expanded in this land that already had a bit of a purgatory quality.
The body of Grand Duke Vladimir that squeezed into this main world was emitting a bloody mist that seemed to drown everything.
A huge, sharp palm stretched out and hit everyone, bringing with it a bloody mist and stirring up a strong wind.
But it is still blocked by ice and magic.
Grand Duke Vladimir is indeed a powerful demigod, but he tried to descend by force when the passage had not yet been opened...
As a result, he was unable to exert much power at this time.
The one who is trying to stop this evil demon on Rand's side is precisely the strongest human being, the White King, Buran Kalant.
Ms. Bolan's coldness was about to freeze this land, which was gradually becoming like purgatory, into a frozen soil that was no different from the rest of the North.
At least Grand Duke Vladimir, who was trying to descend, could feel some of the chill in it.
Rand is ready to provide support at any time.
Even if Grand Duke Vladimir had a thousand tricks, it would be difficult for him to use them in this situation.
Theoretically, the operation was almost successful. Rand remained on high alert and prepared to deal with emergencies, just to avoid any mistakes.
And at this moment.
Grand Duke Vladimir, who was frantically trying to squeeze into this main world, suddenly stopped.
He had realized that everything was truly lost.
He struggled before only because he was too unwilling to accept it.
He has been preparing for His coming for thousands of years.
But now he was stopped by a black-haired young man who came out of nowhere and was probably not even a fraction of his age.
He prepared so many backup measures, yet almost all of them failed.
The originally chaotic and noisy battle scene suddenly became quiet.
He knew He could not come.
but…….
The scarlet eyes stared across the barrier of the world at the three people standing in the front, one man and two women.
"Then come and keep me company." Grand Duke Vladimir's malicious voice filled the world.
The passage he just squeezed out was not wide enough for him to descend, but it was wide enough for the three people in front of him to come to Purgatory together.
As for whether the three people in front of them are willing to come to Purgatory, that is not up to them.
This place is already in the process of a sacrificial ceremony leading to purgatory.
This young man named Rand, through some unknown means, was unable to use the remaining sacrifices.
But as long as he, a demigod, is willing to pay the price, he can still choose three mortals as sacrifices to enter purgatory in the ceremony.
Rand, of course, has been keeping an eye on the battlefield.
When Grand Duke Vladimir realized that it was impossible to force his arrival and decided to give up on silencing the battlefield, Rand became even more tense, ready to interfere with the sacrifice or initiate the blessing at any time.
Therefore, Rand responded immediately.
Grand Prince Vladimir's meaning was clear.
He wanted to capture Rand, Ellie and Boran and punish them in Purgatory.
The way of using it is also obvious, which is sacrifice.
Rand himself is exempt from sacrifice.
But he needed to protect Ellie and Berlan.
Just like Ellie couldn't bear to lose Rand and Berlan, just like Berlan couldn't bear to lose Ellie and Rand.
So did Rand.
Fortunately, Rand always likes to make full preparations before doing things.
[Name: Moonlight Type: Ring
Ability: Incarnation]
This is the artifact of the Azure King.
The White King gave the artifact to Rand because he was worried about his safety.
And now it seems to have finally come in handy.
Obviously it can only be used on yourself, and obviously it can only be used once in a short period of time.
All we can say is that Rand is thankful that he has reached his higher level, and that his essence is a [foreigner].
Ellie and Berlan's bodies shattered and then reshaped.
The only one who disappeared from this world because of Grand Duke Vladimir's revenge was Rand.
Only Rand's clothes were left there.
A lady with ice-blue eyes present at the scene immediately turned pale with fright. She had never shown such a panicked expression since she became king. To be precise, even before she became king, she had always appeared tough and determined.
The other lady with ice-blue eyes was not too worried. She probably knew what was going on. She was very clear about Rand's evil identity and her abilities. She patted her on the shoulder, feeling the colder weather around her because of a certain lady, and said comfortingly, "He has a strange resistance and will be back soon. Don't worry."
At this time, Rand was face to face with Grand Duke Vladimir.
The Rand in front of him is a true demigod, an ancient vampire, the Scarlet Moon, and Grand Duke Vladimir.
He was dressed in aristocratic clothing with an ancient style, and his eyes were full of malice and sarcasm.
"You are so great, Lord Rand. Are they all your good friends?" Grand Duke Vladimir hated Rand the most. Since Rand was captured, it would be fine to let the other two go. "Are they worth sacrificing yourself to save?"
The White King's magical disguise was naturally invisible to Grand Duke Vladimir.
"Five." Rand uttered the word calmly.
"Then, Lord Rand, you have ruined my plan and forced me to continue staying in this disgusting place, Purgatory. Are you ready to neither live nor die?" Grand Duke Vladimir mocked maliciously, "Don't even think about committing suicide. I won't let a toy like you die easily."
Rand had no interest in communicating with Grand Duke Vladimir, but he still said in a steady tone: "Three."
"There's no use playing dumb."
"two."
Grand Duke Frankimir was silent.
He now really doubted whether Rand had any other way to continue disgusting him.
After all, this Rand who appeared out of nowhere always disgusted Him as expected for no apparent reason.
"one."
Nothing happened.
Grand Duke Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Rand with sarcasm and amusement: "Now let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve..."
"zero."
Rand disappears into purgatory.
There was no one in front of Grand Prince Vladimir.
It was as if Rand had never been to this scorched and hot land of Purgatory.
Naturally, Rand left all these to Grand Duke Vladimir alone.
I'm sure Grand Duke Vladimir would like these features of Purgatory. After all, he has enjoyed them for thousands of years, right?
Rand returned to the capital of the Wisteria Kingdom, which was filled with blood mist and blood stains.
A warm body rushed over and hugged Rand tightly, as if something he had lost was miraculously returned.
Rand was familiar with this, it was Ellie, his wife.
Rand scratched Ellie's nose and said, "You know I can come back, why are you still so worried? Unlike your sister, she is calm even though she doesn't know."
The figure that had pounced on him quickly let go, took a few steps back, and became cold and serious: "Ahem, it's nothing, the matter is settled, we can go back first."
Rand felt that this way of speaking was not very like Ellie, but after having just experienced "losing Rand", it was normal for her to feel a little uneasy, so Rand did not care much.
"Wait a minute, there's one last thing." Rand said.
"What?" Ellie asked again.
"Those sacrifices," Rand explained. "I need to mourn."
The Mother Goddess did not accept these sacrifices, but such a huge amount of sacrificial energy can still do a lot of things. And since Grand Duke Vladimir has taken some detention measures, not all gods are so picky and will not accept them.
Maybe the Apostle of Scourge, the God of Struggle, or the "Blood of Nurturing" would like it?
Rand didn't know.
But Rand did not intend to make a sacrifice.
As he had originally thought, Rand had no interest in human sacrifice, nor in the nourishment that these human sacrifices would provide.
In fact, even if the Mother Goddess accepted the sacrifice, Rand would try to keep the Mother Goddess's gift here after stopping Grand Duke Vladimir's conspiracy.
Now the sacrifice of power is just because the Mother Goddess doesn't want it, and Rand has no intention of "using" it.
Rand was well aware of the consequences of choosing the path he would take.
These sacrifices, numbering in tens of thousands, would not be his choice.
This world is not like the immortal cultivation worlds in the immortal cultivation novels that Rand had read in his previous life, which required one to cultivate one's mind or something like that.
But Rand didn't want to follow the path of a cultist.
Let the power of these "unknown effects" of sacrifices dissipate like this. Rand will not allow this power to be used by some hidden cultists to cause anything.
Rand snapped his fingers, which was his standard disguise for releasing the sharing of desire, but now he was not activating the sharing of desire. He was just watching the stagnant sacrificial power dissipate on the altar.
After a long time, when all the feeling disappeared, Rand reached out his hand and inserted it into the ground.
The ground cracked, and the altar rooted in the earth was pulled out by Rand's great strength. Rand looked at Ellie and Bolan who had been watching this place and said, "Now it's over, let's go."
[Blessing 8: Rand’s Eternity]
Will N disappeared and turned into Blessing 8, and it seemed that the blesser was Rand himself?
Rand didn't pay too much attention to it. He still had a lot of chores to deal with, so he would study this ability later.
"There's something." Ellie, Bolan, and Rand were walking at the front of the horse team. Bolan came closer and spoke in a low voice.
Rand felt that the way Bolan spoke was a little strange, a bit like Ellie. Considering that Ellie's previous behavior was a bit strange, Rand looked at him a little strangely, no way...
"What's going on?" Rand asked.
"I'm Ellie, and she's Bolan." Bolan covered his face and explained helplessly, "I know you may not believe it, but that's it."
Rand fell silent and said, "I really don't believe it. Please prove it."
Rand actually believed it very much, but he had to rule out the possibility that Berlan was persuaded by Ellie to act in front of him.
"Bolan" came over and whispered something that only Rand and Ellie knew.
Rand fell silent, asking some tricky questions that were unlikely to be communicated in advance, but they were all answered.
Rand came to "Ellie" again and asked some things that only Rand and Bolan knew, and then asked some tricky questions.
Now it is basically confirmed.
Ellie and Berlan swap bodies.
It's a ghost.
It should be that when he was facing Grand Duke Vladimir before, he forced a foreigner to use [Moonlight] twice, which caused some mistake.
【Moonlight】 has now been reduced to ashes due to excessive usage.
What should we do now?
Rand looked at "Bolan" and then at "Ellie". The current situation was a bit like the "Prince" and "Princess" of the Takagi Kingdom, except that Ellie and Bolan really exchanged bodies.
