In the center of the altar, the mysterious and indescribable figure stared at Mark who was kneeling on one knee.
It wasn't seeing in the visual sense, but a higher-dimensional perception lock that froze Mark's soul.
There was no sound, no movement, a pure stream of information like a cold stream, pouring directly into the depths of Mark's consciousness:
【The offering... is acceptable.】
[Contractor...Satisfy your desire...]
The next moment, an indescribable torrent of knowledge rudely poured into Mark’s mind!
It was not words or images, but countless fragments of "rules" about the nature of ingredients, the flow of energy, the subtle control of heat, seasoning and soul resonance, which were directly imprinted on his soul.
They savagely tore open the boundaries of Mark's cognition and forcibly constructed a professional framework that was completely different from that of the clergy.
Intense pain swept over him along with the infusion of information. Mark groaned, veins popped on his forehead, and the old pain in his head was instantly drowned and covered by the new tearing sensation.
He felt as if his hands were being burned and reshaped by invisible flames. He could hear the subtle life pulse of the ingredients at his fingertips and smell the trace of energy being transformed under high temperature through his nose.
A brand new profession was engraved on his personal panel, occupying the empty space behind the original [■■Priest]. The handwriting was dazzlingly clear: [Soul Harmonizer].
This is no ordinary chef!
At the same time, Xiao Mu, who was trembling and floating in front of the unconscious Monica, suddenly let out a sharp "Mum——!"
Its pink body expanded and contracted violently, and colorful black light, holy light, and gray-blue undead magic on its surface clashed and flashed wildly.
The golden-red divine power of the Lord of Gan Shi that it had forcibly swallowed before was like a red-hot iron, rushing left and right in its body, almost bursting its fragile body!
The being on the altar seemed to just "glance" at Xiao Mu.
"Boo!"
There was a soft sound, like a bubble bursting.
The violent golden-red divine power, along with the sticky honey smell that was stained on Xiao Mu's body due to swallowing, was completely annihilated from its body by an invisible force, leaving no trace.
Xiao Mu collapsed instantly, like a ball of pink jelly softened by water, and fell on Monica's chest with a plop.
The pink eyeballs were half-closed, with only faint fluctuations. The light on the body was dim but extremely pure, with only the interweaving of its original black, white, and gray-blue light.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle but irresistible wave of thought swept over the unconscious Monica.
Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly, her cheeks, which had turned pale due to the mental shock, regained a hint of color, and her rapid breathing became steady and long.
The pure spiritual comfort from the higher being soothed her mental trauma torn apart by the torrent of forbidden knowledge, but did not awaken her.
After doing all this, the figure in the center of the altar seemed to have lost interest in this messy place.
The crack that was emitting colorful black light closed silently, as if it had never appeared.
The blue flames on the tops of the twelve bone-white candles went out at the same time, and the candles themselves, like dry bones weathered for thousands of years, turned into pale ashes and merged into the deep pure black under their feet.
The black circular area also quickly shrank and disappeared, revealing the dead woodland underneath, covered with grayish-white "icing".
The air, solidified with the smell of rotten pine resin, suddenly began to flow, carrying with it the smell of burnt and dead dust.
The cold night wind blew in, making Mark shiver.
He was gasping for breath, and sweat mixed with dust and dried syrup stuck to his face, making him look miserable.
The complex information belonging to the [Soul Harmonizer] was still churning in his mind, causing him to feel dizzy.
He forced himself to look around.
Monica lay peacefully on the cold ash ground like a sleeping beauty, with Xiao Mu lying on her chest, rising and falling weakly.
In the distance, there are countless huge dead trees that are as stiff as fossils, covered in a desperate gray.
Survived the disaster.
Mark forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
......
On the mound outside Maple Leaf Town.
Anna's emerald eyes stared at the area of golden-red light that suddenly went out.
The living forest was like hell one second ago, but the next second it was like being poured with an invisible basin of cold water. All the madly dancing giant shadows instantly stiffened and faded, turning into a dead gray!
The sickeningly sweet pressure and terrifying magical fluctuations seemed to have been cut off at the source and disappeared without a trace!
"Stop!" Anna stopped suddenly, her voice filled with disbelief and surprise.
Enzo stumbled while running, almost falling, and turned back angrily: "Why stop?! If we're any later, Mark and the others will be dead!"
"Look!" Anna pointed to the south of Maple Leaf Town, her voice tense. "That light...that movement...suddenly disappeared!"
Enzo looked in the direction her finger pointed, his eyes widening.
The area was now filled with a gray and dead silence under the dim moonlight, as if the devastating scene just now was just a collective hallucination.
"What the hell...what happened? Is that wild god...finished? Or did he eat and go to sleep?"
Just when the two were in confusion, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
The communication scroll in Enzo's arms suddenly emitted a weak but continuous magical fluctuation and vibration. It was used for internal communication within Mark's team!
Enzo frantically pulled it out and activated it. Mark's hoarse and tired voice, as if squeezed out of a broken bellows, rang directly in his head:
"Shorty...Shorty...Anna...come back...the church...is safe...for now..."
The voice was intermittent and extremely weak, but it conveyed the message clearly.
