After making up his mind, the old officiant told the deacons some necessary things and took off his shirt.
He began to draw magic spells on his old and shriveled body with the refined chicken blood. He had drawn these spells countless times, but it was the first time he drew them on his own body, so he looked a little clumsy. After realizing this, he sighed in regret for his lack of preparation. Then he asked the deacons to come and help him.
The deacons were very surprised. They knew the purpose of these spells, but they never expected this to happen. However, in the Church of the Evil God, the orders of the superior were absolute and could not be questioned. So soon, the old officiant's chest and back were covered with scarlet magic spells, forming a strange magic circle.
After trying to run his magic power through the circle, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you remember what I told you?" he asked.
The deacons nodded.
"Very good. Later, you will pray to the Lord together and let him decide who will succeed him. My shallow wisdom is not enough to see the future clearly, but you must remember that only by dedicating your body and mind to the Lord can you transcend death and obtain true eternity! "
The old man smiled, and his smile was full of satisfaction.
"You see, I am the best example."
After saying this, he faced the shrine, held the wooden staff tightly with both hands, and stabbed it into his chest.
The enchanted hardwood was harder than steel, and the sharp tip pierced through the skin and flesh like a spear, straight into the heart.
Blood gushed out and soaked the wand. The black stain turned into scarlet runes, floating in the air. It was a poem written with magic words, a song of praise to the Evil God.
The old officiant, who was fatally wounded, did not collapse. Instead, he became more energetic. As if he did not feel any pain, he smiled and opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug something.
He smiled happily, as bright as the sun. For the deacons who were used to seeing him gloomy, it was an incredible miracle.
Then, his body quickly withered, and almost in the blink of an eye, he turned into a rotten piece of wood.
"My Lord, I'm finally going to your kingdom …"
Accompanied by an inaudible murmur, the withered body that no longer resembled a human began to crumble from the top of its head, turning into ashes. In the time it took to say a single sentence, accompanied by the sound of the wooden staff falling to the ground, the old officiant had already turned into a pile of ashes, without a trace of his existence left.
However, the shrine in front of him emitted a dazzling red light. It was as red as blood and as deep as the sea.
The oldest of the deities took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He walked to the front of the shrine, raised the holy emblem, closed his eyes, and chanted a spell. The other deacons stood in a circle around the shrine and chanted in unison.
The statue on the roof emitted a dazzling red light, and an intense evil aura rose, causing people's hearts to tremble and their limbs to go soft.
Sui Xiong naturally noticed this aura and could not help but frown.
Although he didn't know anything about the "good camp" or the "evil camp", it was the nature of all living beings that people of different principles couldn't work together. This evil aura was so strong that it immediately made him, a good person, feel disgusted.
"These bastards! They obviously have such a powerful skill, but they have been hiding it … "
Staring at the statue fiercely, he was secretly on guard, but his hands did not stop and continued to fight in the army of skeletons.
But the next moment, he found that he had made a big mistake.
The statue emitted a dazzling red light, but the target was not the skeletons, but — him!
When the red light was emitted, Sui Xiong had already accurately judged its direction, and he subconsciously dodged. He was strong and responsive, but he forgot one important thing — his body at the moment was not a human, but a giant jellyfish. With the speed of a human, he was indeed able to dodge the red light, but the body of the giant jellyfish was too huge. Even if he flashed a few meters in a flash, he still did not have time to dodge, and was hit by the red light.
When the red light hit him, a strange power came out of nowhere. It was vast and majestic, and it was filled with an awe-inspiring majesty. Along with this power, there were more chaotic and fierce thoughts, as if thousands of people were angrily shouting at him, asking him to kneel down and surrender.
Although he still knew little about this world, his intuition told him that he must not surrender at this moment, or he would be doomed eternally!
Of course, Sui Xiong's intuition was right. The magic he was under was called "Enslavement Magic", a powerful magic unique to the evil gods. This magic had great restrictions, and could only be used near a holy residence that was under the special attention of the gods. It also had a great cost, and had to sacrifice a pious officiant to communicate with the Holy Kingdom and use the power of the gods to force the target to surrender. But the power of this magic was also great. If the target could not resist the vast pressure from the Holy Kingdom, his mind would be twisted, and he would become the loyal servant of this god.
For human powerhouses, the effect of this spell wasn't obvious. Which powerhouse hadn't walked out of countless hardships and hardships? Which strong person's road was not paved with countless blood and sweat? Although the majesty of the Holy Kingdom was strong, the will of those strong people was by no means ordinary, and it was not possible to use this magic to tame them.
However, for those giant creatures that grew up with talent and time, and lacked a strong heart, this magic was very powerful and difficult to resist.
In the churches of many evil gods, there were several giant creatures enslaved by them, as their strong fighters.
What the old officiant of the White Leaves Village wanted to do was to use the enslavement magic to brainwash the powerful giant jellyfish, and make it a fighter for his church.
As long as he had this fighter, his church could use violence to defeat the other churches nearby, and completely rule this area.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, and he could really be called a ruthless person!
His sacrifice was not in vain, and at this moment, Sui Xiong, who had been hit by the magic, was in the biggest crisis since his time-travel.
The huge pressure from the Holy Kingdom made him dizzy, and his whole soul was trembling. More than once, he had the idea of surrendering, but he suppressed it again and again. But although he was able to suppress this thought that did not belong to him every time, this thought would definitely become stronger the next time.
In the spiritual world, there were stormy waves, and he felt like he had become a small boat, floating in the waves of countless voices that forced him to surrender, and could be beaten and sunk at any time.
"This can't go on!"
He was shocked and angry, and subconsciously used a life-saving method.
The magic nucleus in the giant jellyfish's body suddenly shook, emitting dazzling cyan and white light, and the jellyfish's huge body suddenly turned cyan and white, as transparent as a gem. Unimaginably powerful magic power gushed out, turning into a solid shield, and firmly blocked the bewitching power. The magic power and the divine power crazily collided, making countless terrifying explosions. With these explosions, endless cold air was emitted, and in the blink of an eye, it spread for miles around. The next moment, no matter flesh and blood, skeletons, plants, rocks, or steel, all tangible things that came into contact with the cold air were solidified in the ice formed by the cold air. More than half of them became fragile because they could not bear the cold, which was beyond the limit of the human world. It could be imagined that when the ice melted, they would all turn into powder.
Those roaring voices in Sui Xiong's mind stopped abruptly, and the vast pressure quickly weakened. Before it dissipated, Sui Xiong roared, exerted his strength, and broke the pressure into pieces.
Until then, he finally had the leisure to look around and see what had happened.
What he saw was a desolate scene.
The whole village and all the farmland and open space around it had been frozen, and even a large area of the forest in the distance had been frozen. In the cyan and white ice, everything was silent, without any vitality. Although the statue on the top of the stone house was still shining with red light, the red light was rapidly weakening, and soon disappeared without a trace.
He was silent for a while, sighed deeply, and took the cold air back into his body and stored it in the magic core.
In just a short time, more than 30% of the ice magic power that had been stored for a long time had been consumed.
And the effect of this blow was to turn the whole village into a dead land.
Not only were the people and animals killed, but even the skeletons hidden deep underground were not spared. At this moment, the bright moon was still in the sky, but there were no skeletons coming out of the ground. The two sides that had been fighting desperately not long ago had now fallen to the ground and turned into wreckage that could no longer move.
"This is … completely different from what I expected!"
Sui Xiong smiled bitterly and lowered his head. The giant jellyfish's body trembled slightly, and it was floating in the cold air that had not completely dissipated.
After a long time, when the sun shone on the earth, he suddenly woke up and stepped toward the stone house.
Intuition told him that all the answers could be found there.
The village was not big, and he walked to the stone house in two or three steps. The giant jellyfish naturally could not get through the narrow door, so Sui Xiong chose to demolish the house.
Several tentacles grabbed various parts of the roof, and then exerted force together. The solid roof shook a bit, separated from the wall, and was lifted up. Everything in the house was also revealed in front of him.
Sui Xiong glanced at the lifeless girls in black on the ground, sighed, and focused his attention on the shrine.
It was still intuition that made him understand that this shrine was the key to the problem.
He put the roof aside and stretched out a tentacle to touch the shrine.
Before he touched the shrine, a fierce and cold will came out of nowhere and stopped in front of him. This will was the same as the one that wanted to enslave him last night, majestic, cold, and arrogant.
Sui Xiong snorted coldly, and without waiting for the will to take any practical action, he suddenly launched the ice magic power. This time, the coverage of the blue and white cold air was very small, and it only covered himself and the shrine.
As expected, the will was stopped by the cold air. At the same time, Sui Xiong rolled up his tentacles, entangled the shrine, and pulled it up from the ground.
Seeing that the shrine was taken away, the will was furious. Thick dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, and there was an endless murderous intention, like a thick fog covering the earth.
Although he didn't know the origin of this guy, his strength was really powerful. The sky and the earth changed color even before the official attack, and its power was extraordinary.
Sui Xiong had no fear in his heart, and the ice magic power became more and more condensed, and several magic power condensed into sharp blades. He also had a nest of anger in his heart. Since this guy dared to find trouble with him, he should be prepared to be stabbed by him!
Both sides were ready to fight, and it seemed that the conflict would break out at any moment. But before they started fighting, a golden lightning cut through the sky, and tore the dark clouds into pieces. There was also an old voice laughing in the dark, and it was full of hearty laughter.
The fierce and cold will was shocked and angry at the moment, and naturally did not want to be attacked on both sides, so it had to retreat resentfully. And the warm and heroic will spread toward Sui Xiong, turned into a golden light, fell on the ice magic barrier, and penetrated.
This golden light contained infinite vitality, and it made his fatigue disappear. His originally heavy heart also relaxed, and even the magic power that he had consumed before was replenished.
The golden light disappeared in a flash, and only the old heroic voice was still echoing in the air.
That was a language that he didn't understand, but it revealed a clear and unmistakable message.
Kindness and encouragement.
