Bright red blood seeped into the gray slate in the dark and flowed along the indentations carved by the sword. The blood was not absorbed by the soil and dust. Instead, it seemed to be endowed with life. It was like a snake that coiled around a few powerful lines. The black magic circle was quickly filled with the red liquid. Haku's chanting became louder and louder.
When she got up, a gray scroll flew out from her hand. It was suspended in mid-air by an invisible magic. The simple sheepskin slowly unfolded in the direction of the rolling wooden scroll until it reached the ground. The scroll was filled with ancient words and complicated patterns. Brando could not recognize the words, but he knew that it was a high-grade scroll.
It was a high-grade magic circle ritual scroll.
One of the characteristics of magic arrays was that they could be cast in advance. Most of the rituals and materials for the magic array could be prepared in the form of magic arrays. For example, almost 90% of the steps for this magic array had been prepared in advance in the ritual scroll. Bai only needed to complete the last step. Otherwise, with her ability, she would not be able to cast a high-grade magic circle on her own.
The value of this ritual scroll was not lower than the Awakening scroll. In addition, from what she said before, she should have another Awakening scroll. Brando could not help but sigh at the depth of this woman's heritage.
When the scroll flew out from Haku's hand, she let out a low cry and pointed a finger. An invisible ripple shot out from her fingertip and hit the pile of rubble in the middle of the hall. The rubble collapsed to the sides and revealed an altar. When Brando saw the altar, he suddenly understood why Lorison did not let him get close to it.
So it wasn't because of the War Slate, but because his wife was sealed underneath. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but curse his bad luck.
The altar in front of him was made of marble and was carved into a hexagonal shape. Its cross-section was diagonally cut, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror. There were some sealing spells engraved on it. The gray altar seemed to have a long history. The surface was damaged and covered with scratches and dirt. The damage was old and new. Some looked like they were eight or nine thousand years old.
Some were caused by the falling vault, while others were unrecognizable.
When the altar was revealed from the rubble, the whole hall resonated with Haku's chanting. Brando frowned. Allium Japonicum looked like it was nothing out of the ordinary. Andrique looked up. The vampire princess seemed to be able to see the invisible Lines of Law in the air. Her eyes were shining with silver light. Whoosh!
After a moment, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared on the altar. Brando could vaguely see that it was a woman. She wore a black dress, and her face was covered with a layer of sadness. It looked like Lagas Lagas Lagas Lagas Lagas she was.
At this moment, a book appeared out of thin air above Haku's head. The cover was pitch black, and the words were glowing. Brendel recognized the appearance of Mavekart's Grimoire at a glance. It was obviously another copy of Mavekart's Grimoire, and he was secretly shocked. Amman had already turned into ashes. His fake Book of Mavicaert had fallen into his hands.
After absorbing the experience, it had already become a pile of trash. This woman had gotten another one from somewhere. Her ability was really shocking.
Looking at this scene, he was even more afraid of Haku. She had the ability, the means, the wisdom, the prudence, and the patience. This woman had all of them, but she had to use them for evil. She was such a beautiful woman.
As soon as the Book of Mavicaert appeared, the atmosphere in the round hall changed. Other than Brando and Allium Japonicum who were still indifferent, even Sir John Lorison used his bony hand to grip the hilt of his sword. The Book of Mavicaert was an ancient evil item. Even if it was a fake, the terrifying power it exuded was enough to make him, a Saint, resist.
Andrique and Mephistopheles looked solemn, ready to attack at any time. Hipamira held her scepter and stood behind Brando, secretly protecting her lord.
However, Haku did not even look at them. She frowned. It was obvious that it was not easy for her to complete this step. "The ultimate truth of everything, the ultimate form of all things. With one, with the extremity, I will temporarily borrow your name and exercise your authority." She suddenly let out a low roar that did not sound like her voice. This low roar was majestic and cold, like rolling thunder.
It echoed in the hall. Brando felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before. However, at this moment, the Book of Mavicaert above Haku's head moved without wind. It flipped open, and a few dark energy ribbons extended from it, entangling Lagas' soul in the hall.
Lorison 'soul saw this and let out a low roar, holding his sword with both hands and slashing towards Haku.
"Stop!" Haku's voice returned to its hollow and hoarse state. She roared, "If you don't want her to completely disappear!"
Lorison was slightly stunned. In this moment, the dark energy ribbons had completely wrapped around Lagas, forming a black cocoon of light that floated in the air.
Lorison 'soul stared at the cocoon of light, the flames in his eyes burning fiercely. He turned around and looked at Haku with a questioning gaze. "Calm down," Haku replied.
The undead Knight hesitated for a moment, then put away his sword with a creak. However, he still guarded beside the cocoon of light. The atmosphere in the hall was a little strange. The War Slate floated high in the air, suspended under the sunlight from the dome. Below the slate, a few people surrounded a huge cocoon of light. The cocoon of light shrunk and contracted as if it was nurturing life.
However, no one spoke. Only Haku's incantation could be heard in the darkness.
At this moment, Brando felt someone touch his hand from behind. "She's activating the power of the Book of Mavicaert." Bai Jia used her fingertips to write on his palm. Even though it was a long sentence, it was as if they had telepathy. Brendel understood her meaning immediately. She then wrote, "It's not just to extract the power of the Dark Orb.
It's power. " Haku's hand was cold, and her fingertips were soft and smooth. His heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed her hand and shook it lightly to show that he understood.
Allium Japonicum did not remind him anymore and retracted her finger. Brando felt the touch on his hand disappear. For some reason, he felt a sense of loss.
But he was not surprised by Bai Jia's reminder. The Madara woman in front of him was not as simple as she seemed. She took a roundabout way to reach this point, and it was obvious that she had calculated meticulously. She would definitely not do useless things. Since she had done so much, then she must have a certain degree of confidence in her heart. If he was at this moment …
If he felt that victory was in his hands, he would undoubtedly be digging his own grave. Therefore, even without Haku's reminder, he knew what he should do.
Of course, Allium Japonicum's magic was far better than his. She could clearly tell what Haku was doing, but he could only guess what she might do based on his intuition and understanding of her.
At this moment, a majestic force rose in the round hall. This force was emitted from the fake Book of Mavicaert.
Under everyone's gaze, an invisible force lifted Haku from the ground and suspended her in mid-air. Although half of the female Undead Knight's face was still exposed outside the broken mask, her golden eyes had recovered. She let out a long breath and pointed at Brando. Brando frowned slightly.
He felt as if the blood in his body was burning, as if it would turn into steam at any time. However, it only lasted for a moment, and everything calmed down as if it was an illusion.
"Eh?" Haku was slightly stunned, and her expression instantly turned ugly.
"I see." Brando naturally would not treat the abnormality in his body as an illusion. "Blood Boiling Spell." This was White's other power. He had heard that there was an evil druid that could control the power of life and water. The water here included blood. Blood was 75% water, and if one were to combine it with water, they would be able to control it.
If the water in the body evaporated, the person would be no different from a dried corpse. This was a power that Haku had never displayed before. She was the Lord of Life and Death, and the God of Death, Qiuka, was named after her.
Unfortunately, since he knew that his opponent was a Tree Herder, he would definitely be on guard against this. Tree Herders were a branch of Druids, so how could they only know Necromancy Spells? Moreover, this woman was well-prepared. How could she forget to bring fresh blood for the sacrifice? Therefore, when she suggested using his blood for the sacrifice, he was already on guard against this.
Allium Japonicum had obtained the Silver Bloodline of the Bugas in his previous life. Before she left, there was no more outstanding spellcaster than her, so it was too easy to guard against her magic tricks. Moreover, he had Andrique by his side. In terms of Blood Magic, she was a true master.
"Vampire?" Haku finally recognized Andrique's identity, and also understood where she had overlooked. "You're a human, but you're in cahoots with the Undead!" She scolded in exasperation.
This made Brando feel very helpless. He thought that this woman was probably the one who had the least right to say this. She was the Undead Lord of Madara, but she was also in cahoots with humans. What right did she have to scold him? It was as if only the magistrate was allowed to set fires, but the commoners were not allowed to light lamps. However, he did not intend to waste his breath on this woman.
He had expected her to go back on her words. He pulled out the Halran Gaia that he had prepared earlier and shot toward Haku who was in mid-air.
At the same time, the Undead Lord Lorison finally reacted. Although he had to let Haku find a way to free his wife's soul, this did not mean that he would be biased toward this woman. In fact, from his standpoint, he admired Brando more. He knew that Brando had already made a huge concession by allowing Haku to obtain the Blood of the Dark God.
How could he tolerate this woman playing tricks in front of him? He was furious, let out a roar, and slashed his sword toward Haku who was in mid-air.
However, Haku had already understood that she would not have another chance if she failed. In fact, she was already very weak. She was relying on the power provided by the Book of Mavicaert to support her to cast these spells. However, this power could not be maintained for long. She knew why the Book of Mavicaert was called an eternal evil. It was different from Amman who was addicted to power and could not help himself.
Unlike the idiots, Haku was smart and rational. She immediately stopped after her attack failed. At the same time, she cut off the connection with the Book of Mavicaert.
A black hole expanded behind the female Undead Knight. She sighed and stared at Brando like a venomous snake, "The next time we meet, it will be your death, human."
Brando immediately understood that she wanted to use the power of the Book of Mavicaert to open a portal and escape. However, he would not give her the chance. At this time, he had already made up his mind to kill this woman. His body flashed, and he used the power of Flash Strike Sword Art and Time Elemental Powers. His body was continuously teleported in space, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to Haku.
He was close to her.
Bai Leng snorted, and a circle of black waves immediately appeared in front of her. However, Brando already knew that she was prepared. When his body hit the protective shield, it shattered like an illusion. "Nine Luminaries Sword Art!" At this time, Haku had already understood what trick Brando was using. Her expression changed greatly, and when she looked back, she saw the latter.
He had already appeared above the light cocoon, holding the sword with both hands and slashing down.
"No —!" Haku let out a roar.
Brando had already guessed Haku's purpose. This woman had done so many things before for nothing more than the Blood of the Dark God. Therefore, she would definitely not give up this thing easily. Otherwise, wouldn't it be useless? Therefore, he did not intend to attack Haku from the beginning, and Haku had indeed made up her mind to use herself as bait to attract his attention.
Once he fell into these traps, although it would not be life-threatening, she could take advantage of this time to put away the Blood of the Dark God and escape calmly.
At this moment, Brando's sword slashed down and cut the energy belt in mid-air. Haku suddenly lost the connection with the Blood of the Dark God and lost the opportunity to attack first.
This meant that she had only two choices left.
Either she gave up the Blood of the Dark God and immediately left through the teleportation gate, or she gave up the opportunity to escape and stayed to snatch the Blood of the Dark God.
In Brando's heart, there was a glimmer of hope that this woman could stay. Otherwise, if she escaped, there would be endless trouble in the future. This time, he won because he was more familiar with this woman, and the other party's understanding of him was only superficial. Once she really regarded him as a troublesome enemy, then it would be his turn to feel it.
It was troublesome. He did not want to live in danger all the time, not to mention that there were other people around him. This woman was unscrupulous and could attack the people around him at any time.
However, Brando also knew that this hope was very slim. With Haku's character, she would definitely put self-preservation first. If she could not snatch the Blood of the Dark God, she would have another chance in the future. However, if she did not leave, she might even lose her life here. He believed that this woman would not be unable to think clearly about which was more important.
However, just as he thought so, he was surprised to see Haku stop the opening of the teleportation gate, turned around, and rushed towards the light cocoon in the center of the hall.
"You deserve to die, human!" When Haku made this series of actions, she squeezed out these words from between her teeth. The golden flames in her eyes burned fiercely. It could be said that at this moment, she had truly fallen into a frenzy.
Seeing this scene, Brando could not help but be stunned. There was only one thought in his mind: Is this woman crazy?
