Chapter 866 Sacrifice Ceremony
As he chanted, the dark red light in the dark pyramid began to flicker more rapidly, but at this moment, huge dark purple inscriptions suddenly appeared on the surface of the pyramid, blocking the entire pyramid like a chain.
That was the seal left by Emperor Phoenix, the last emperor of the ancient magic empire, at the cost of his own life. It not only sealed this sub-body, but also sealed all the information and concepts that 'Him' left in this world.
At this point, Gray Mist looked around and saw that everyone had given a prepared response. Then, a ritual short blade that looked like black crystal appeared in his hand and suddenly stabbed into the center of the girl's chest.
"Using blood as a guide, the seal is lifted!"
In an instant, the girl's blood gushed out from the wound and flowed onto the altar below her.
The sleeping girl suddenly showed a look of pain, as if she was enduring some great torture.
As a professional, such injuries would not be directly fatal to her, but as the crystal dagger continued to devour her, her life was already on the countdown.
Like a key, sensing the power of the girl's blood, the countless dark purple runes on the dark pyramid began to gradually disintegrate.
Boom boom --!!! But at this critical moment, the defense at the entrance of the cave was suddenly penetrated by some powerful attack, and a huge sonic boom echoed throughout the underground cave.
"What?!"
Startled by this sudden scene, several marquises looked towards the entrance at the same time. Even Gray Wu, who was presiding over the ceremony, was attracted for a moment.
The next moment, Landon, with the dark power of decay lingering all over his body, rushed out of the cave first and appeared as a brave hero of justice. The other members of the brave team and a large number of elite members of the Spark Resistance followed closely behind, including an avatar of Avis disguised as a member of the resistance.
"It turns out that you are the mastermind behind this! Marquis Winter! Give up! We have discovered your evil plan!"
The huge altar lit with countless scarlet candles was too conspicuous. Lanton saw Marquis Winter and the incarnations of other marquises standing in the center at a glance. He also saw Lannie lying dying in the center of the altar, with the fire of anger in her eyes almost bursting out.
He once swore in front of the teacher that he would protect her, but now the girl has become a tragic sacrifice and her life is in danger, which makes him almost crazy.
"Lani, hold on! We're here to save you!"
"Calm down, Randon boy, those are all ninth level! And that pyramid! What is that?!!"
The Dark Crow in Landon's spiritual space was frightened by the scene in the dungeon. Landon was too weak to feel anything, but he could clearly sense the horror in the field.
Landon just rushed over foolishly, and ended up dead, even with his power to protect him! On the other side, several marquises frowned at the sudden appearance of Landon and others, and looked at them with some confusion.
This shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, the outside world is currently guarded by the Door in the Pupil and the people of the Alien God Cult, and even presided over by a ninth-level being.
How could these rubbish that were not even at the ninth level break in here? But the next moment, several powerful auras appeared, solving the doubts of the marquises.
[Star Guardian], [Heart of Darkness], and [Ash], the three strongest royal guardians at the ninth level, suddenly arrived at this moment!
In addition to the three royal guardians, several other ninth-level warriors who were originally affiliated with the royal family also appeared here at this moment, looking well prepared. The defenders outside had obviously been held back by strong men of the same level.
Upon seeing this, the brows of several marquises relaxed, and they thought they understood the truth of the matter. These small characters who rushed in first were just scouts, and the ones behind were the real masters behind the scenes.
"Winter, Anrita, Draka, Anderson, Beshim, Cuijing... you colluded with the ninth rank of the Federation to start a civil war in the empire with the intention of releasing the evil god. Now, I declare in the name of treason that your titles of imperial marquis will be revoked!"
At this moment, the leader of the three guardians, [Gray], who was dressed in a gray hooded robe, spoke calmly and directly deprived a group of marquises of their titles.
"Deprive us of our titles? Tsk—"
Hearing this, the marquises looked at each other, and Marquis Draka couldn't help but sneer.
It's already this time and you're still talking about this. When the dark doomsday comes, the Gloria Empire will no longer exist. What's the point of having titles?
At the same time, they also looked at the person with the Door in the Eye standing beside them.
Since we are allies now, we naturally have to share the pressure of the imperial royal family.
The two sides were at odds with each other, and after a few high-sounding words, the royal guardians finally took the initiative to attack, with all kinds of strange rules attacking the altar and the huge magic circle on the ground.
As time goes by, the seal is gradually being broken, and continuing to delay will only serve the Marquis' wishes.
As for Landon and others who wanted to rescue people, no one on either side of the confrontation took them seriously. A layer of scarlet spherical light curtain covered the entire thirteen-story altar, desperately delaying time while blocking Landon and his group outside.
As a protective formation presided over by the Ninth Order himself, this protective light curtain is enough to resist the rule attacks of the Ninth Order, not to mention the existence below the Ninth Order.
Seeing the appearance of the royal guardians, Landon realized that he was being used and had inadvertently become a guide.
But he no longer cared at this moment. The power of the imperial royal family was attracting the attention of the marquises in front, which gave him the opportunity to save people.
"Everyone! Use that move! Lend me your strength!"
Without further hesitation, Landon looked at his companions. They immediately understood his intention and quickly stood in special positions, forming a mysterious magic circle, gathering their own power and the power of the energy storage magic devices prepared in advance on Landon.
With the help of everyone and Dark Crow, he struggled to pull out a broken sword as black as night from his chest. The tip of the sword was shrouded in the terrifying power of the rule of withering, and even the space it touched began to show unstable cracks.
"Withering of all things!"
The next moment, Landon roared, and the black broken sword in his hand instantly chopped the light shield! Under the impact of the withering power, the scarlet rule shield shattered like glass, and this scene caught the Marquis's party off guard. Landon took the opportunity to dodge and rushed to the high platform, snatching the unconscious girl away, and then disappeared in a flash under the power of the Dark Crow.
Several marquises looked at the gray fog with some confusion. Even with the pressure from the royal guardians, the other party was clearly capable of stopping the little guy who just used strange power, but seemed to deliberately let him go.
"Don't worry, the ceremony will not be affected."
Gray Wu glanced at the unsealing magic circle. At this moment, the magic circle was still functioning normally. He just needed Lanny's blood as a medium to lift the seal. It was not a real sacrificial ceremony. The blood he needed was enough.
Landon is the son of destiny, so it would be easy to cause trouble if he was forcibly stopped at this time. Besides, Landon has other functions, but there is no need to tell these irrelevant people about it.
Therefore, although Landon rescued the people and escaped, the ritual itself still worked normally. As the dark purple seal runes on the dark pyramid gradually disappeared, a creepy feeling as if being targeted by a natural enemy gradually rose in the hearts of all the beings in the field.
