When Shade returned to the manor with little Mia, Luvia, and Tifa, the only big witches in the manor were Vanessa, who was responsible for updating the sand table in real time, and Miss Belindle, who was not very good at fighting.
The countess was relieved to see that Shade was safe, and exchanged glances with Luvia. The blonde opera singer saw Shade back in the study, and took the initiative to come over and hug him.
The smell of perfume made Shade twitch his nose subconsciously.
"Carina and the others are all in the city, so you don't have to worry."
"How is the situation now?"
In the thick white fog and night outside the window, you can vaguely see firelights rising everywhere in the city.
"The city is in chaos right now. We don't know the specific situation yet. But at least the church is still in control of the situation. Oh, Sister Devlin came back just now and went to the city again when she saw you weren't there."
Miss Belindel said, and Luvia suddenly asked:
"Joy Patton and Marilyn Hendel haven't arrived yet?"
"No, at least I haven't received the message yet."
The countess shook her head again, knowing the reason why Luvia asked this question.
The "Guardians of the Earth" have also not arrived yet, and Shade guesses that they will not come until the end.
"Shadow!"
After knocking on the door, Dorothy and Lecia walked in together. After returning to the manor from the boat, the two officially started today's Red Butterfly Day.
"I'm fine."
Shade smiled and responded to the blond and red-haired girls. Although Grace and Helen were still on the ship, they were ready for the "Chosen One of Space" to appear at any time.
In this way, balance, death, space, and the earth can all join in the next battle. As for Shade himself, in addition to the help of Burning Divinity and others, he will also [The Chosen One of Aiken Aura]
The arrow was brought.
[Star Trace] can fire this arrow. Of course, Shade cannot exert the effect of the arrow by himself. He must cooperate with others to unleash the power of the arrow to the greatest extent.
"Where is the bloated, dead body I need?"
Shade asked again, and the countess still answered:
"In the coffin in the basement, you can turn it into a toy and carry it with you."
This corpse is the material for the coming of the [Lord of the Blood Feast], but Shade must also have a strong desire for "gluttony" to call him, which requires the cooperation of the "mermaid".
As for calling the vampire god - [Vampire Duke Loair], Mr. Bernhardt will help prepare the ceremony and the required materials. When the time comes, he will appear at the appropriate location with the group of priests.
The only thing that needed to be prepared was the god's descending body. In the dream when the two met, the vampire god was vague about this, but it was not impossible for Shade to guess what he was going to do.
At this time, the one symbolizing the "red moon" among the three "moon slates" that were used as keys to the "Silver Moon Library" was quietly suspended on the table, and little Mia stepped on it "flying" with great interest.
Of course, only the "Red Moon Slate" is not enough, but Shade also has his own ideas.
"And your armor."
Vanessa suddenly asked:
"Sirius is looking at Emilia and Agelina now. Are you sure you want Emilia to keep wearing it?"
"Yes, the city god will come soon, and it may not be safe here. Iluna said that she doesn't like to wear armor, and my solar system power is not much. There is no need to wear it. Let it protect Emilia. She is very sensitive to the special light.
But there is no resistance. Although there is a high probability that she will not be needed to appear this time, safety comes first after all."
The witch of the earth nodded and said nothing more. Just as Luvia was about to suggest a divination for the next thing, the ground suddenly shook violently, and then the brightness of the "light pillars" connecting the earth and the sky outside the window suddenly became brighter.
The ground has been enhanced to an extremely dazzling level.
Thirteen light pillars rushed into the sea of stars, and a huge ritual matrix with them as the core was displayed in the night. Vanessa immediately went to see the sand table she made, and then everyone was surprised to see that in the sky above the Civic Square
, a giant gray stone building is appearing out of thin air.
"[Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site] is here!"
The giant gray stone building that appeared at this time was far larger than the two previous times Shade had seen. Compared to the sacrificial site, it now looked more like the floating sky where Lesia described to Shade where the Zarath Academy of Literature was located.
island.
"It's in the air, it didn't land!"
Luvia said softly, and Shade picked up the night watchman he just put down:
"Miss Belindel, you and Vanessa stay in the manor to protect this stronghold. If you need to retreat, don't go into the city, go directly to the ship. Luvia, you also stay here and keep an eye on Emilia and [Time of Time].
Flute], you know what I mean."
"What about us?"
Miss Writer asked, and Shade shook his head:
"There's no rush now. There's nothing you can do to stop the god from descending to this stage. If it gets urgent, I'm worried that the god will descend in a more terrifying way."
After all, [Dragon Eater] is bound to win this time.
"You wait for Grace and Helen to come back, and then decide for yourself whether to stay or go to the sacrificial site. You don't need to show up yet. But if you go there, you must meet up with me or Sister Devlin first. I don't worry about you, but don't
adventure."
The princess and the writer also nodded lightly:
"Be careful yourself."
So Shade packed up the things he needed to carry and went to the basement to turn the coffin into a toy and put it away. Little Mia stayed in the manor, and he would not take the cat to face the evil god.
Before leaving, he looked at the [Angel's Right Arm] again:
"Luvia, I have too many relics on me. This sword is left in the manor. If you can meet Priest Augustus, give this to him."
The girl with purple eyes asked worriedly:
"Is the priest all right now?"
"It's no problem. He figured it out after crying. Don't say it was me who said it."
"But how are you going to fly up there?"
The Countess asked:
"With the current height of the sacrificial site, you can't go up, right? Do you want to use a little unicorn? Or can I send you up? I can fly now."
"Let little Lianna stay to protect Emilia, I will go find Iluna."
General Shade finally confirmed that everything on his body was there:
"Don't worry about me, this time things will be resolved smoothly, just like before."
As he spoke and smiled, he waved to the girls who came to see him off. At this time, even the elf girl and the little princess were there. They just watched Shade turn and leave, and his figure quickly disappeared into the fog.
"I have a very bad feeling about it."
Agelina murmured to herself, and then suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her.
She immediately covered her mouth, then looked at her sister, only to find Lesia looking at Luvia:
"what happened?"
The purple-eyed girl shook her head:
"Wait until the divine descending ceremony in the sacrificial site begins. The witches who have gone out come back. Bella and I will also go to the sacrificial site together. At that time, Emilia, you take the little unicorn and Agelina to the boat.
, it’s safer over there.”
"Louvia, are you hiding something from us?"
Miss Writer asked, but only saw the unusually solemn expression on Luvia's face.
The moment the huge sacrificial site suspended above the city appeared, the church ring warlocks who stayed in the city had already launched an attack on it. The city defense ceremony, with the five cathedrals as the core of the ceremony, even broke out in the rain and snow at night.
Thousands of light cannons were fired to bombard the sacrificial site. However, due to the invisible space barrier covering the sacrificial site, they only shattered some rubble on the periphery of the sacrificial site.
And even without this layer of space barrier, it is not easy to enter the sacrificial site by flying. The giant dragons and gargoyles flying out from the ancient gray stone building have already blocked the environment that had been prepared to deal with the cultists.
Warlocks.
The intensity of the battle this time was much higher than the one that broke out in the city just now. Balls of fire bloomed in the night, and the screams and roars were particularly weird amidst the sound of wind, rain and snow.
"This time, the [Dragon Feast Order] probably took out their family wealth."
Iluna, who was riding a skeleton horse, said to Shade, who was holding her waist from behind:
"Although [Dragon Feast Cult] has always been considered a relatively powerful cult group in this era, after all, they cannot openly recruit believers, nor can they obtain a large amount of resources like churches and colleges. If they fail this time, it is estimated that the cult group will be
The probability will no longer exist.”
"This is the instruction of the god they believe in, and they don't want to do this!"
Shade threw the silver thunder in his hand and shattered the gargoyles flying towards them. Iluna also concentrated on not talking. At this time, the height of the two of them had reached the same position as the huge sacrificial site in the sky.
, which means they have to join the battle group.
"There is a space barrier outside, Shade, is there a way to get in?"
Iluna can feel the space barrier, and Shade can also feel it:
"Use the Night Watcher and the [Key of the Door] to barely open a gap. I'll hide it first, and you can find a way to get closer to the sacrificial site."
"no problem."
As soon as Iluna finished speaking, she felt the hands holding her waist disappear. Before she could react to what happened, the silver cat climbed up from her back to her shoulders, and then jumped in front of her.
The eighteen-year-old girl tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth from changing. She held the reins of the skeleton horse with one hand and pressed the cat directly into her coat with the other hand.
Then he raised his left hand excitedly and hit the sun gun, causing a golden thunder in the clouds and mist above Yuewan City:
"Help me open a way, I want to enter the sacrificial site, and the god summoning ceremony is about to begin!"
She shouted loudly, and then everyone, including the "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria Ingram, and the "Child of Light" Mr. Erlin White of the Church of Dawn, helped her bombard a short-lived path in the fog at night.
The passage allows the balanced chosen one to fly straight to the outer barrier of the sacrificial site.
