Chapter 93: The Mystery of the Idol
Arthur's hand finally touched the statue of the Demon God, touched the vast, pure dark magic, and at the same time he felt the connection between more than a thousand stone pillars in the center.
Apart from this, there is no other exception.
"This statue of god is really just the core of the magic circle?" Arthur was a little confused.
"The eyes of the statue are closed." Arnold suddenly reminded.
Arthur's eyes, which had opened a slit before, closed again.
Arthur was completely confused at this time. He instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with this statue, but he couldn't find out what the problem was? Unless it was destroyed or it was stolen directly, the vastness of the statue, and the pure magic power would have great temptations for Arthur and Ashuh.
Arthur did not make such a reckless move after all. If he did this, he would not only make himself, but also make Arnold and the entire Zenaya family public enemies of all the dark magicians. And Rachel dared to leave himself and Arnold alone to protect the statue, as if he was not afraid that he would destroy it.
When Arthur was unable to escape the statue slowly circled, the battle in the magic circle had reached a new climax.
The strong men of the church had just destroyed dozens of stone pillars and ushered in the counterattack of the dark magician. The dark spear, condensed beast, hell fire, and necro creatures rushed out of the black fog wildly.
The Priest of Light covered a large piece of white light towards the black fog. The Punishment Knight released rounds of attacks under unified command. The powerful men such as Quinn, Fast, and Jenirida occasionally attacked the powerful dark magic, or suddenly rushed into the black fog and killed the sneak attacking dark magician, or suddenly released their fighting skills to destroy a stone pillar.
The church has discovered some secrets of magic circles and knows that the power of these stone pillars is closely related to the magic circles.
The attacks of the strong church and the destruction of the stone pillars will inevitably attract counterattacks from the strong dark magicians such as Rachel, Ragren, and Old Zach. A violent collision broke out instantly.
The collision between the two sides is always the result of the dark magician retreating to the black fog. After all, the Light Church has a huge advantage in high-end combat power. In addition, this is also related to the dark magicians' unwillingness to give out their cards and the hard work of the church's strong people. Their goal is to hold on to the strength of the church for another hour and wait for the final arrival of the demon god. That is the time to fight back.
During the rounds of collisions, the power of the church continued to push into the center of the magic circle, and stone pillars were destroyed. A dark magician was corpse-like battlefield, including many warriors and powerful men of the great magician level. The dead even included Rachel's younger brother, the dark magician Nehea.
Nehea was targeted because he had caused great trouble to the church and the Kildan military before using the "Reaper Carnival" and Jenirida rushed into the depths of the black fog and hammered Nehea at the cost of his serious injury.
The dark magicians are using their sacrifices to exchange for the opportunity to come the demon god, and in exchange for changing the fate of always hiding in the darkness and constantly escaping the church.
The dark magicians threw corpses on the battlefield, and the Church of Light did not even let go of their bodies, because they were worried that they would be burned out by fire by reincarnation or the secret method of corpses. However, the church was completely unaware that the soul in the corpse had been sucked into the nearest stone pillar as early as the moment the magician died.
In the center of the magic circle, Arthur and Arnold tried to change various methods but still couldn't find the secret hidden by the statue.
Just as the two were stunned at the statue of the Demon God, Ashu could no longer help but temptation and went forward to hug the statue. The statue of the five-meter high was held by the dragon's two front paws, which was just right. Then Ashu stretched out his huge tongue and licked the statue's face.
It's so disgusting! Arthur and Arnold stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. However, neither of them stopped Ashu. They knew that the aura of darkness and death had a huge temptation to the dragon, and letting him lick it a few times to enjoy it, it would not cost much the statue.
After licking a few times, Ashu began to absorb the pure dark magic power in the statue. Arthur still did not stop it. The statue contained so much dark magic power, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation when sucked by the dragon.
Because of Arthur's constant indulgence, Ashu regarded the statue as the object in his bag. After all, the posture of holding and sucking was too tiring. This guy wanted to pounce the statue and then lie down and absorb it. He tried to push the statue down directly with his claws.
The part of the statue of the Demon God buried underground was unexpectedly deep, but the powerful force of the dragon still pushed it in half, and Ashu then had to hit it again.
"Don't!" Arthur quickly stopped him and dug out the statue of the demon from the ground. In the eyes of the dark magician, there was no difference between destroying it.
Just when Ashu hit him again, a strong black light suddenly burst out from the statue of the demon god. This black light completely protected the statue, making Ashu not touched.
While the black light burst out, the statue's eyes were completely opened, a stream of life's aura appeared in the statue, and a soul was growing rapidly.
"Did the demon really awaken? He was awakened by Ashu?" The mutation in front of him still made Arthur a little confused.
"No, it's that demon!" Arthur quickly reacted. The soul grew too fast and gave him that familiar sense of oppression.
The demon clan has always been hiding in the statue of the gods. Before, it should have been hiding it in some way to avoid his own investigation. Now Asu is forced to jump out after destroying the statue of the gods.
"No, Ashu was not trying to destroy the statue of the god, but just push it down. That statue of the god cannot leave the magic circle!" Arthur instantly figured out most of the joints. The only thing he hadn't figured out was what he wanted to use the magic circle to do?
"Stop him quickly, that soul is devouring!" Arnold said hurriedly.
Arnold's words made Arthur realize the problem that Arthur had not understood before. The soul of a creature is the only one that cannot grow rapidly, unless it devours the souls of other creatures. Moreover, this behavior of devouring the soul poses great hidden dangers. Although devouring can make his soul grow rapidly, it is easy to cause his soul to become insane or even collapse because he cannot completely digest the devoured soul.
The souls of that demon clan are growing rapidly, and the only possibility is to absorb and devour the soul through the magic circle, and they must be the soul of the dark magician. As believers of darkness, with the same attributes, their souls are more likely to be absorbed and digested by the demon clan, reducing the risk of backlash to a minimum.
By this moment, all the puzzles were solved. Although the demon clan survived the explosion of space again, the demon clan, which had only one spirit left, was blown to pieces and was on the verge of collapse. If he slowly recovered through his own sleep, the process might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
The demon clan couldn't wait at all, and he couldn't wait either, so he could only choose a shortcut, that is, to repair it by devouring other souls and nourishing his damaged soul. The soul of the demon believer is the best choice.
Therefore, the demons used the special magic array to exhaust the last little power to lower the so-called oracles to the various magician families and gathered them here.
In the eyes of the demons, these dark believers have always been food-like existences. While gathering them here to provide themselves with soul nourishment, they also consumed the power of the Light Church. I'm afraid even Rachel doesn't know about this, and he is also hidden in the game.
