Chapter 649 Support
Inside the chapel of the Church of the Holy Chant, on the large damaged floor, the huge corpse of the demon wolf was lying there silently. In its abdomen, which had just been cut open, a strange parasitic worm was lurking inside, using its tentacles to quickly flip through the book "The True Red Madonna" that it was entangled in, as if it was eagerly absorbing the knowledge in it.
"This is……"
After seeing this strange scene in the wolf's stomach, Vanya couldn't help but take two steps back in surprise. The parasite seemed to feel the change of external light stimulation. It temporarily stopped flipping through "The Red Madonna" and looked out of its stomach with its head covered with countless tentacles.
As if it sensed the presence of the enemy, the worm's tentacles stood up one after another, and then it let go of the entangled "True Red Madonna", rolled up its long body like a spring, and then suddenly bounced out of the body of the magic wolf, stabbing straight at Vanya, as if it wanted to kill Vanya or parasitize her.
Faced with such a situation, Vanya, who was originally a little surprised, could not help but look condensed, and then swung the sword in her hand at a high speed. In a few seconds, the parasite that was attacking her head-on was chopped into several pieces at once, and its fragments fell to the ground, twitching slightly.
"Miss Dorothea...what is this thing..." Looking at the piece of meat that was still squirming slightly in front of her, Vanya spoke with a little confusion in her heart, and Dorothea quickly responded to her.
"This looks like a parasite. It may be related to the Beyonder who was able to control mosquitoes. Take out the secret document and check it out now."
“Oh…”
Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya turned her gaze to the sticky and bloody stomach of the demon wolf in front of her. Then, despite the nausea and stench, she took out the "Red Madonna" covered with mucus. Dorothy also took a quick and rough look with the help of Vanya's perspective.
'The parasite just now should not be a product of the Wolf Blood Society. Judging from its nature, this thing is more similar to another branch of the Afterbirth Cult, the Filthy Order. In addition, the extraordinary person who can control mosquitoes and rats to spread diseases appeared in the werewolf team that appeared before. This time, not only the Wolf Blood Society should be involved in this action, but the Filthy Order also contributed.
'According to the intelligence we have obtained previously, the Afterbirth Cult is flourishing with the blood-eating method, and everyone sees each other as a feast. The relationship between the three sects of the Afterbirth Cult is not good. It is common for the sects to devour each other, and there has been no cooperation between them for several years. The last time the three sects of the Afterbirth worked together was during the Turbidity War several years ago.
'Now... the Filthy Order has actually begun to actively help the Wolf Blood Order to seize the True Red Madonna. Does this mean that the relationship between the three religions of the Afterbirth is easing?'
Dorothy thought about this in her mind, and then she focused her attention on the secret book "The True Red Madonna" which she had just roughly examined.
'This "True Red Madonna" made the Wolf Blood Society spend a lot of money trying to get it, and even sent out a Red Man and cooperated with the Filthy Order. Is this "True Red Madonna" really so important to them? What kind of content is recorded in it that is so attractive to the Afterbirth Cult? '
Dorothy wondered in her heart. After the incident with Cork, she had guessed that the "True Red Madonna" might be important to the Wolfblood Society, but she didn't expect it to be so important. If she knew at that time that the Wolfblood Society would mobilize such a force for the "True Red Madonna", she might have put more effort into deciphering the content above.
'Since this "True Red Madonna" is in the forbidden library of the Chant Church, not in the Holy Mountain, it means that the church itself is not aware of the value implied in this secret biography and has not paid enough attention to it. However, after this incident, the church has paid enough attention to this "True Red Madonna", and it should be sent directly to the Holy Mountain for deciphering. It will be impossible for the Afterbirth Cult to steal or rob those few pieces.
"But... just now I saw that you were a parasite, and it seemed that you were reading this book. If this parasite has the ability to transmit messages remotely, then perhaps the placenta has obtained most of the contents of "True Red Madonna". I wonder what the impact will be?"
Dorothy was a little worried. From the information she got from Vaughn, the Wolfblood Society had a method to roughly confirm the status and direction of the Red Madonna. However, Dorothy could not use the method of replacing the Red Madonna in advance to make the other party empty-handed. After the other party found something wrong, they would be alert and affect the overall situation. Now that the Afterbirth had obtained most of the content of the Red Madonna, it might cause some bad consequences.
However, these things should be a headache for the church. Dorothy thought that she would not worry about it. If this incident had not involved Vanya's evaluation within the church, she would not have considered taking action. After all, she could not bear to see such a vicious incident happen under Vanya's rule after only a few days as acting archbishop. This would have a great impact on Vanya's future career in the church.
"Okay, now it's time to get down to business. There are still some things to be done."
Thinking of this, Dorothy once again used the spiritual thread to manipulate the huge corpse of the magic wolf, and then spoke to Vanya's heart.
"Okay, Vanya, now quickly find a piece of cloth to cover the torn part of your clothes. We still have things to do next."
"Oh, okay." Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya looked at the large area of exposed skin on one side of her body, her face slightly flushed, and then she quickly prepared according to Dorothy's words.
…
Due to the powerful howls of fear from the Devouring Demon Wolf, the huge Cathedral of the Holy Hymns was now almost deserted. Almost all believers and church members had fled from here out of intense fear, and the vast building complex was completely silent.
In a small green garden in the church area, a faint sound was echoing in the silence. It was a difficult and painful gasp. The source of the gasp came from a patch of grass where there was a pit with splashing soil.
In the earth pit, Pritt's Rift Sergeant, Director of the Tivian Security Bureau, Harold Despenser, was lying on his side. His face was ashen, and he was trembling and gasping for air. From time to time, he would vomit and vomit a pool of blood. Ever since he was shot down by Duval, Harold had been lying here, suffering from a fatal illness. He wanted to struggle to get out of the predicament but to no avail.
Although Duval's pathogenic miasma comes from the mutation of devouring a Cretaceous-level disease Beyonder, his body is indeed at the Red Soul level, so the pathogenicity of this miasma exceeds that of the Cretaceous-level to a certain extent. Harold is a Beyonder of Storm Path, and his spiritual structure does not exist in the "Cup", so he does not have much additional defense against the harm of the disease.
Facing Duval's pathogenic miasma, Harold had no other good way to deal with it except the "cup" talisman that strengthened his physique. However, relying solely on the talisman could not completely offset the effects of the miasma. As the effect of the talisman wore off, Harold felt that his symptoms were getting worse. Now the effect of the talisman on Harold had almost dissipated. The reason why he did not immediately lose consciousness or even die from the illness was a mysterious force that had been continuously healing him. Harold felt that this force should be related to some self-defense mechanism of the church.
"Ahem... Damn it... Move... I can't fall down here..."
Harold in the earth pit supported himself on the ground with his hands, trying to struggle to stand up. Although he was dizzy and confused due to the pain, he knew that now was not the time to sit and wait for death. The dangerous monster was not dead yet and had much more mobility than himself. If he did not do something now, he would be killed if the monster found him.
Harold tried hard to stand up again or to use his abilities, but all his attempts failed due to the pain. The discomfort all over his body made it difficult for him to exert strength, and his dizzy mind made it difficult for him to concentrate. Harold knew that if he didn't do something, death would be waiting for him. He struggled hard but was powerless.
Harold didn't know how much time had passed in his unconscious struggle until he heard hurried footsteps not far away, and then he seemed to hear some words. Then he felt a sudden warmth over his body, and his extremely uncomfortable symptoms gradually eased in this warmth, and his chaotic mind became a little clearer at this moment.
"Your Highness, Your Highness... Can you hear me, Your Highness?"
