Chapter 164 - 160 Blood Sacrifice!
Chapter 164: Chapter 160 Blood Sacrifice!
Lower City District of Bright City, Mingzhu Street.
Kaiser was somewhat restless, not knowing why, but he always had a bad premonition. Yet, this morning’s communication had no issues at all; the people left in charge of the three strongholds had all responded normally to the messages.
Even Petar had complained about being too bored.
Moreover, due to the commotion caused by Marion, Kaiser had specifically reined in the actions of the All Beast Church, temporarily halting the transfer of prepared magic beasts into Bright City.
It could be said that Kaiser had almost completely ceased all actions of the All Beast Church, just wanting to get through this sensitive period.
In his view, he had been so low-profile that there shouldn’t be any more problems.
...
But just then, he suddenly received a message from a Divine Envoy.
“One-third of the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony Array has been destroyed.”
What!
Kaiser was so shocked he couldn’t speak, and without taking time to verify the authenticity of the Divine Envoy’s information, he hurriedly sent inquiry messages to the people stationed at the three secret rooms.
Tash and Angelo quickly replied, reporting no abnormalities, but Petar from Golden Lily Lane was nowhere to be heard from, without any response.
Kaiser knew that something had happened to Petar.
He did not harbor a sliver of hope because the message had come from the Divine Envoy.
As the only person in the All Beast Church in Bright City who could receive the oracle of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, Kaiser naturally did not doubt the source of the Divine Envoy’s message.
At that moment, the whole room fell into silence; Kaiser sat quietly at a desk filled with intelligence documents, his face gloomy, seemingly weighing something in his mind.
Bang!
Kaiser suddenly stood up, kicking the walnut desk in front of him. The flying brownish-yellow papers seemed to declare the arrival of the final battle.
Taking out a communication device, Kaiser transmitted a message to everyone involved in the plan.
“The base at Golden Lily Lane has been discovered, Petar is missing, the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony Array has been destroyed!”
“Proceed as originally planned, initiate the plan!”
“Let my Lord’s fear envelop Bright City!”
Having reached this point, Kaiser no longer wanted to think about why his plan, so carefully hidden, had been detected by the kingdom.
Since it had come to this, let it begin!
Always composed and wise, Kaiser’s mouth revealed a hint of a crazed smile, which gradually spread across his entire face.
“Finally…finally no need to endure any longer!”
“My Lord! Great My Lord, Kaiser offers you blood and death, may your name envelop this land!”
Taking out a pure black Magic Wand, Kaiser listened to the gradually rising roars of beasts and the terrified screams of people outside the window, his face revealing an extremely delighted smile.
“How wonderful!”
“This taste of fear!”
With a manic smile, Kaiser gripped the Magic Wand in his right hand and forcefully swung it, shattering the entire street-facing wall of the room.
Slowly floating in mid-air, countless dark auras gathered around Kaiser, spreading the aura of fear, death, and chaos wildly into the surroundings.
Seventh-tier Divine Skill “Mark of Fear and Death”!
All the civilians who came into contact with the dark aura emanating from Kaiser seemed to encounter the most terrifying thing in their lives, their mental states collapsing instantly. They fell to the ground like dying fish, writhing and screaming until their last bit of strength disappeared, leaving behind only self-mutilated, unbearable corpses.
Floating directly above Mingzhu Street, Kaiser, who reveled in the fear of the people, was indeed one of the top powerhouses in Bright City.
Gold Level “Fear Sacrifice”!
Kaiser looked down at the street below; he knew that Tash and Angelo had already summoned and released all the Magic Beasts into the densely populated streets of the Lower City District as planned, and all members of the All Beast Church were also killing frantically amidst the chaos, staining the Lower City District crimson with blood.
The more bloodthirsty, the more excited these mobs became.
Since they are followers of the Evil God, how could they be normal people?
—————–
When a large number of Magic Beasts appeared on Mingzhu Street and Faise Street, the arrangements made by Bevis beforehand came in handy.
After quickly sending a prominent signal, several soldiers dressed in civilian clothes on Mingzhu Street and Faise Street bravely charged toward the incoming Magic Beast Group.
They weren’t Bevis, nor were they Audis.
They were just nameless Bronze Rank and Silver Rank warriors!
At that moment, they were willing to rush towards a Magic Beast Group much larger than their numbers, even though their figures were dwarfed by the massive bodies of the beasts, and even though they knew they were facing almost certain death, they were willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of buying just a little more time!
The glory of Feis Kingdom shall never fade!
Bright City will not tolerate you scum defiling it!
…
The Golden Lion Knights, who were pre-positioned in the Lower City District, also quickly rushed towards Mingzhu Street and Faise Street, knowing that they couldn’t delay even a second.
Bevis and the others also split into two teams, each heading in the direction of the signals sent out, while Audis did not join them but met with the Royal Mage Corps, who were waiting in the center of the Lower City District, preparing to set up a large Magic Array once the Evil God Avatar descended.
The Magic Beasts released by the All Beast Church ruthlessly slaughtered the panicked civilians before the arrival of the Knight Order, and the plain-clothes soldiers at the scene could only stop a very small portion as they fought for their lives.
The All Beast Church had specifically chosen Mingzhu Street and Faise Street to place the Blood Sacrifice Array because these areas are the busiest and most crowded in the Lower City District of Bright City.
It made it convenient for them to conceal the transportation of Magic Beasts and was also the ideal place for a Blood Sacrifice.
In just a few short minutes, hundreds had already lost their lives in the attacks by the Magic Beasts and the All Beast Church, thick blood filled the streets, and the incessant screams were maddening.
Within the sharp claws and fangs of the magic beasts, ordinary civilians had no chance to resist. Various kinds of Magic Beasts began their frenzied slaughter like wolves entering a sheep pen, leaving the entire street area colored only in shades of crimson.
Along with the ongoing slaughter, more and more blood was drawn into the Blood Sacrifice Array, countless civilian souls and tangible auras of fear also gathered in mid-air, and thick black clouds covered the sky, wrapping the entire Bright City in darkness.
However, before the situation could escalate further, the Golden Lion Knights finally arrived at the scenes of the Blood Sacrifice, attacking the Magic Beasts that were mercilessly slaughtering civilians.
A group in white robes also arrived soon after, with priests using Divine Arts and paladins in their Holy armored gear revealing their identities as members of the Dawn Church.
Shrouds of Divine magic descended upon the Golden Lion Knights, and the paladins, armored with Holy auras, stood shoulder to shoulder with them facing the oncoming horde, while the Mages specifically assigned by Audist were also unrestrainedly casting devastating group spells on the Magic Beasts.
And naturally, the Gold Level Magic Beasts were dealt with by Human powerhouses.
At this time, the advantage of the human army finally became apparent, and as the front lines advanced, the beasts began to be pushed back.
