Upon hearing Chief Hume say those words, Ron knew that things were almost settled.
However, that's not enough. What if something unexpected happens?
While pondering the situation, Ron calmly managed his changing expressions, his worry turning into determination!
"To repay such a great being, why should I, Ron, fear death? But the nuns who came with me, Ron, also have their own relatives and friends among the humans..."
Hearing Ron's story, the old village chief Hume couldn't help but worry, fearing that the young human might change his mind: "We are extremely grateful for the efforts of our human friends. If any unexpected events occur, our Ghost Clan will not stand idly by!"
Okay, that's exactly what we need – the participation of the old village chief and his group.
Superhumans aren't so easily fooled; words alone won't suffice. Ron also wants them to experience some of the dangers firsthand.
Of course, with Rita around, that part of the danger was probably what Ron wanted to show the Oni.
The interplay of truth and falsehood, the presence of perilous situations, and the resulting biases can lead to a generalization.
The best deception is to have some truth to it, so that it can pass muster. By the time the Oni-men realize what's happening, Ron and the others will already be far away.
Thanks to the telepathic magic, Ron and Rita were able to discuss the details very easily.
"Alright," Ron said, seeing that things were progressing well, "then you must protect Sister Yara and me, old village chief. We are the key to our success!"
"Remember, old village chief, we humans are risking our lives. You must not distrust us when the time comes..."
Seeing that the old village chief Hume nodded firmly in agreement, Ron proceeded with the final finishing touches.
Let's recite a prayer from the Book of Memory, a prayer from the benevolent faction.
"..."
This is not the faith, righteousness, propriety, and purity that Ron invented himself. This prayer, also known as the doctrine of another religion, is a pure incantation-like form.
"..." The prayer was a bit long, but the general idea was that God loves the world, and people help one another without expecting anything in return, pursuing spiritual enjoyment...
Ron has taken to the very essence of the believers in the cult, and for Vivian's sake, he naturally has to put in a lot of effort.
Because such a benevolent religion truly existed in the world, the old village chief Hume became even more convinced.
Even though his persuasion was quite effective, Ron didn't dare to relax. The mind of a superhuman was simply too strong, and Ron himself was a master of the magic sword.
We can't give the old village chief Hume too much time to ponder; we must act quickly, taking advantage of the window of opportunity when he's too worried about the sacrificial ceremony.
An excessively strong emotion can generally impair judgment.
Before leaving, Ron added, "We need to get ready now. Old village chief, you should also hurry up and prepare the guards. Any delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances!"
Upon hearing that it should begin now, the old village chief felt it wasn't the best time: "Human friends, you've been working tirelessly all night to treat your people and haven't had a proper rest yet..."
"No, we can't rest now. If we delay, things might get irreversible on the spirit altar. Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, we're in good spirits! Let's hurry and resolve this. There's some urgent business in the human city too!" Ron replied calmly, his steps never faltering.
It looks like it's just a notification to the old village chief. Now, quick!
Hume was even more moved. Fortunately, the pastor of the goddess of healing had come this time, and the spirits could hopefully return to normal. That was wonderful!
In fact, the changes in the Oni race's spirit offering have been going on for several years...
Because of the long-standing mishaps during the rituals, the old village chief Hume was overjoyed to hear that there was hope of helping the spirit medium! (ˊ????? ? ?????ˋ)
Hurry, hurry, don't keep the humans waiting.
Ron's concluding prayer came from the teachings of the goddess of healing. O goddess of healing, I have used your credibility.
After a long period of busy work…
The central altar of the Oni tribe village.
Ron had already set up half of the magic circle around the altar.
At this moment, the old village chief of the Oni tribe arrived with five young men.
These five Oni warriors were quite capable; all five were burly and powerful, two of them bearing scars from battles with wild beasts, and the distinctive single horn on their foreheads remained prominent. Ron observed them closely, while also considering his contingency plans should things go wrong.
Well, so far it seems to be going well, within expectations.
The old village chief, Hume, led his men to observe quietly from further outside, marveling at the ingenious defensive magic array: 'The human pastors who have come this time are very powerful!'
After Ron's previous persuasion, Hume now has even more confidence in helping the human race become as strong as possible.
Meanwhile, the old village chief's attention was more focused on Rita, since Rita was the strongest person present.
And just then, taking advantage of the moment when the old village chief Hume was distracted by Rita, Ron also completed his final contingency plan.
Hopefully, these contingency plans will never be needed.
After a while, the composite magic circle was successfully set up!
Ron glanced at Hume, and the old village chief understood, ordering, "Guardians, you lot, protect our human friends at all costs!"
"Yes, village chief!"
"Understood, old village chief."
"Understood, Grandpa Village Chief!"
"..."
The five responded in turn, and they dispersed. There were six Oni-humans present, including the five young men and the old village chief Hume.
Ron and Sister Ara each presided over two magic array eyes, while six demons split into two teams to protect their respective human races.
Before the exorcism began, Ron telepathically communicated with Rita and Vivian one last time: "Darth, victory is certain! Do it! I'll take care of everything!"
Ron received responses from Rita and Vivian from afar. Rita remained calm and responded as usual, while Vivian secretly clenched her little fist, determined not to disappoint her young master.
After completing the telepathic communication, Ron turned to face Hume with a serious expression.
"It's about to begin!"
“Very well, human friend, your safety is in my hands!” Chief Hume replied firmly.
Everything is ready.
Ron looked at the sky; it was overcast but not raining, which was a good time.
Let's begin!
As Ron placed the high-grade magic crystal at the final node of the composite magic circle, the magic circle began to shimmer.
At the same time, Ron chanted the activation incantation: "..."
As Ron finished reciting each syllable, a magical shield rose up on the entire altar.
This magic shield is similar to the protective magic used in duels.
However, the magic array personally set up by the Master of the Magic Sword is far more than just a protective magic; Ron can also use this complex magic array to assist the main combatants in the battle.
The limitations on visibility also differ; those inside the formation cannot see the location of the formation's core, while the person in charge of the formation's core has a clear view of everything inside.
However, only the person in charge of the formation can see it; the demons guarding the formation's core cannot see what's happening inside.
Cleverly, Ron could then project this onto Hume at the opportune moment in the form of a spatial projection...
Formation complete!
After the last incantation is recited, the magic circle is activated and the next stage begins!
Being in the formation, people began to feel as if they were worlds apart. Unfortunately, Ron's understanding of space was not deep enough, and he could not achieve the same level as the divine kingdom. But this was enough.
Ron's achievement of becoming a master swordsman with the Void Crystal was well-deserved.
Before the formation was completed, Sister Yara should have been nearby, but now she seemed to be fifty meters away from Ron and the others.
The composite magic circle includes not only spatial magic but also water magic.
A mist appeared!
Ron had trained in the Misty Forest before, so he was somewhat familiar with this environment.
In the Misty Forest, some maze techniques are imprinted into the magic circle, but unfortunately, the power is still insufficient. It can only guide many outsiders to a certain location, but it cannot make them lose their way forever!
It's a real shame, but let's just make do with it for now. Ron might improve this magic circle in the future.
Formation name: "Multiple Void Shadows!"
The key to guiding enemies through the maze lies in the multiple projections and the almost infinite number of key points. If the enemy's knowledge of magic circles is insufficient, they shouldn't even think about forcing their way through.
Alright, let the exorcism begin.
Inside the altar, Rita and Vivian had already fallen victim to the spell and entered a dream together.
Getting too close to the altar will cause her to faint, but with divine magic, Rita has the ability to actively interfere with the overall dream, and she also faces the dream world together with Vivian.
Ron was curious about what was going on inside, but he was also aware of his own current strength and just wanted to avoid holding Rita back.
He looked towards Rita and Vivian's location, and his mental energy drew more ethereal figures to appear around them, creating a scene so realistic that it was difficult to distinguish between them!
In my dream, a bizarre battle unfolded, involving divine magic, time manipulation, and a mystical showdown.
In reality, Ron and his friends also began to encounter undead attacks!
"Village...Village Chief Grandpa...Undead...do they look like this?" Ron was amazed as the undead charged outside the formation! Since the old village chief Hume was right next to him, he asked him as well.
