Fires spread across the town, black smoke billowed up, and a sacrificial ceremony was taking place. Even if you were not there in person, you could imagine the bloody massacre that was going on.
"Damn it, the sacrifice has already begun."
Veronica gritted her teeth and shouted at the slide, "The Death Walker is in town. We missed him. You two should quickly find an exit and climb up. I'll go and rescue him first. I'll leave the car to you."
After saying that, Veronica took a deep breath, clenched her fists and punched forward.
With a loud bang, rubble and powder flew everywhere, and in the dust, a big hole was torn in one of the castle's outer walls.
Veronica jumped with Monica in her arms, falling from a height of five meters, splashing a large amount of mud and water when she landed.
Her feet moved like the wind, and she rushed towards the town of Cafno at an extremely fast speed. After a few breaths, her figure was covered by the oak forest.
High in the sky, the moon seemed to have descended some distance and became larger than before. A flickering orange-red color appeared on its bumpy surface, as if there were flames dancing wildly.
…
At the bottom of the slide, Wayne sat up using his hands to support his stiff muscles. As he fell, he hit the wall and his head was buzzing.
Lights and fires lit up on both sides of the passage, guiding the way until the corner at the end of the passage.
Wayne found himself sitting on William, who was lying on his back with his legs spread out. From his high vantage point he could see the shyness on William's face.
You're blushing like a bubble teapot!
Wayne's scalp was numbing because of the show. He stood up cursing, closed his eyes and thought about Veronica's figure and face, and finally dispelled the psychological shadow that William had brought to him.
Before Wayne turned around and climbed up, he heard Veronica's voice. His head was still a little confused and he didn't hear clearly what the other party said. He only knew that there was a loud bang and the slide was blocked.
Wayne tried twice, but the inclined slide made it difficult to gain leverage. Every time he tried to push the stone away, he would slide down due to the reaction force.
He said to William unhappily: “What are you standing there for? Help me!”
William nodded repeatedly, standing behind Wayne, rubbing his hands and preparing to push his butt. Seeing Wayne's gloomy face, he scratched his head honestly and said, "If you feel embarrassed, I can be in front and you can push me instead."
Please have some common sense. Can I push a big golden retriever weighing more than 200 pounds like you?
No, you scheming 1, don't even think about touching my hand with your butt!
Wayne gave up the idea of returning the same way and frowned, "William, I didn't hear what Veronica just said clearly, did you hear it?"
"She said the sacrifice has already begun and the Death Walker is in town. She's leaving first, so we need to hurry over there."
William took a deep breath and said, "Wayne, you have to be prepared. Saving people is the most important thing. I'm afraid we won't be able to remove the curse this time."
Wayne nodded. He knew that things had their priorities. He then complained, "I know she was in a hurry to save people, but saving the two of us wouldn't take much time. Now we can only bite the bullet and move on."
"It doesn't matter. Let's raid the Death Walker's lair to prevent him from having other plans." William was not worried about Veronica. The descendants of dragon blood had strong physical output. As long as Veronica was willing, she could beat the Death Walker into a picture in one sight.
On the contrary, capturing them alive is more troublesome.
"That's true, but I..."
Wayne hesitated to speak. If this was a horror movie, acting separately would be a taboo.
"With my protection, you'll be fine." William patted his chest and made a bodybuilding pose.
Wayne's face turned even darker. It was late at night and the castle was empty. It was useless for him to shout at the top of his lungs.
He picked up the rubble on the ground, threw it forward to ask for directions, tried several times to make sure that there was no mechanism triggered, and persuaded William to walk in front.
"Veronica said that the Death Walker is in town, we are safe..."
William muttered to himself and took one step forward and then another. Wayne was too cautious, which made him a little panicked.
"It wouldn't go wrong to be careful."
Wayne gave a reminder and there was no unusual prompt from his supernatural senses, which meant that the castle was safe, at least for now.
The two men walked along the torch-lit road. After several turns, Wayne smelled the scent of alcohol. He waved to William, and the two men walked into the bunker warehouse to look for something useful.
Perhaps there was only one warehouse inside the castle, with wine and some daily necessities piled together. Wayne did not find a crowbar, and William only found a flashlight.
It's not very useful, they have flashlights on them.
The good news is that Wayne filtered the smell in the air and confirmed that there was only one living person in the castle besides them. The person who swept the grave was Mike, who returned to the town of Kafuno every year.
"Why does this guy come back every year, just to visit the graves?"
Wayne talked to himself, following the smell in the air and soon found the exit from the passage.
The mechanism activated the stone gate, and the two came to a platform high up in the castle. It was square and very wide, facing the castle gate. It was obviously built with military use in mind.
It was night, there were no stars, and the giant moon overlooked the earth, making everyone who looked up feel depressed.
The weeds in the center of the platform were cleared away, and an inverted triangle symbol was outlined with black ink. Puffs of black smoke curled up and twisted into black arms that swayed in disorder in the air.
The arms were of different sizes, belonging to adults, children, men and women, and hands of all sizes stretched towards the sky, as if trying to pull the moon down.
The terrible scene made Wayne feel angry. His desire to destroy was magnified bit by bit, slowly eroding his calm rationality. The speed was very slow, but it had already caused him discomfort.
William had the same feeling. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dazzling light burst out from his eyes. Under the guidance of magic power, the sun's light spread all over the platform.
His whole body was bathed in light, and his strong body and determined expression made him look invincible.
But Wayne sensed something was wrong. The moment William dispelled the death ritual, the supernatural sense that had not moved for a long time issued a sharp warning.
A black arm emerged from the black fog and transformed into a monster covered in black.
Humanoid.
The surface of the body was like a black poisonous snake entangled and moving, every part was twisted, and at the position of the eyes and mouth, the gray cavity spiraled down like a bottomless pit.
This monster was a head taller than William, had no neck, and its torso and limbs were as strong as a man one second and as thin as branches the next. It had no stable body shape.
William has now turned into a little light man, with white steam rising from his body. The rolling heat waves oppress the black monster, causing it to wail incessantly.
Without a three hundred rounds of fighting, William smashed the monster into pieces with one punch, then raised a ball of light with both hands and pushed it straight towards the twisting tentacles.
The black tentacles swarmed down and wrapped William completely.
Like butter meeting a hot knife, screams came one after another, making people's eardrums sting and gums sore. Wayne, who was closest to him, was dazed and dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
When he came to his senses, the ringing in his ears was still there and his stomach was churning. He lowered his head, but didn't vomit anything.
Light defeated darkness, and William successfully interrupted the ceremony. The light on his body rapidly weakened. He threw out the cans in his waist bag and used the last bit of magic power to activate the small props. The wildly growing green plants submerged the inverted triangle symbol, eliminating the possibility of restarting the ceremony.
The magic props were made by Veronica. Although William could not use the power of the goddess of nature, due to the alliance between the three goddesses, his magic power could inspire the magic props made by the naturalists.
The rapidly growing vines took root in the brick and stone ground, forming a towering bulge. William's magic power was exhausted, and his energy was also greatly depleted. He slipped and fell directly.
Bang!
"Wayne, you're so cruel. I thought you would catch me." William said aggrievedly.
"What are you thinking about? Don't you realize your own weight?" Wayne said he was helpless. He did want to, but he was afraid of being crushed to death.
He stepped forward and helped William up, and the two of them walked down the castle stone steps to the garden. From afar, they saw a shadow floating above the tombstone.
Wayne knew that the other party couldn't hurt him, but he was still a little scared when he passed by.
What if she suddenly scares me?
William answered this question. When he passed by, he suddenly yelled at the ghost, scaring the cowardly ghost back into the ground.
Take advantage of the ghost's unpreparedness and scare it!
Wayne said he had learned something and would try it next time. William said proudly, "Look how spoiled they are. We were afraid of alarming the Death Walker before. Otherwise, how could I, a believer of the Sun Goddess, be frightened by a few ghosts?"
No need to explain, it's not shameful to be afraid of ghosts.
William's words made sense, but Wayne saw their truest selves. The fact that a magician can easily eliminate ghosts and the fact that a magician is afraid of ghosts are two different concepts, and the two are not contradictory.
The two men left the manor step by step, walked through the mud to find the blue car. Wayne started the car, turned on the headlights and drove straight to the town of Cafno.
The fire was still spreading, but God didn't give me face and stopped the heavy rain.
This time there was no need to worry about alerting the enemy. Wayne took the corner at the fastest speed. The tires slipped and drifted for a distance, scaring William so much that he let out a scream.
Soon, a blue car stopped in front of the town. Wayne's heart was beating wildly, and his supernatural senses sounded an unprecedented alarm.
Danger!
Deadly dangers are everywhere!
"Wait a minute, something is wrong..."
Wayne called out to William who was rushing forward. He took a deep breath of the air, his scalp numbing as he said, "We are too late. There is no smell of living people here. It's all the stench of corruption..."
It was so corrupt that it looked like it had been dead for a long, long time and had just been dug out.
"Why don't I smell it?" William was confused.
At this moment, a figure rushed towards them. It was Veronica. Behind her was a town in flames, and shadows with twisted limbs and strange, stiff movements.
Veronica's face was covered in dust. She told Wayne and William to get in the car quickly, and she sat in the driver's seat, started the car and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, where is Monica?" William asked hurriedly.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car. There's no time to explain."
Veronica urged anxiously, but William's expression became more and more indifferent. He violently opened the driver's door, and the tip of his fist emitted a circle of faint light, and he smashed it hard at Veronica's little face.
With a snap, Veronica's neck was broken and half of her face was shattered. Under the fresh skin were dry, tight black and gray muscles and yellow, brittle bones.
"Veronica won't abandon Monica. Don't try to fool me."
William dragged the counterfeiter out of the car, and Wayne took out a crowbar from the trunk. He gave each of them one, and after a few clanging battles, he successfully disassembled the fragile counterfeit into parts.
Not far away, a large number of fragile items slowly approached, and the full moon in the sky seemed to have dropped a little...
