Chapter 508: Cultists
The small world was under Alka's control and opened the portal to the outside.
Connected to the outside gate, another trial tower flew in from outside. Then, under Alka's control, it was placed next to the previous trial tower.
Alka could feel that when the two trial towers were close enough, some kind of ability connected the trial towers together.
It seems that the twelve towers will have other functions after they are collected.
Alka looked at this scene, nodded with satisfaction, reopened the portal, and walked out alone.
Looking at the Knight Guardian of the Holy Mother Church in front of him.
"Thank you for your help."
The leading knight captain immediately nodded and crossed his hands.
"Everything is the will of the Virgin Mary. May the Virgin Mary bless you."
"May the Virgin Mary bless you."
After some communication, Alka and his companions headed for the port and left by boat.
This second Trial Tower is located directly on an island controlled by the Church of the Virgin Mary.
After all, all islands with Trial Towers can be considered landmark islands without any island chains.
Therefore, it has been under the control of the Holy Mother Church from the beginning, and this Trial Tower is open to everyone for use.
As long as you have a certain level of strength, you can use them, so it is quite famous here. It can even be said that this is some kind of talent training base of the Our Lady Church.
So Alka and the others just came all the way, put away the tower and left directly. There was no obstruction in the middle, it was unusually smooth and comfortable.
On the deck, Alka looked at the intelligence booklet in his hand.
I couldn't help but sigh: "The next tower might have to use force to solve the problem."
The third tower is one of the three forces that are unwilling to peacefully hand over control of the tower to the church.
"I hope the problem can be solved in a more peaceful way." Xia Daiti said beside him.
The collection methods of the first two towers were very peaceful, just like a trip, except that the constant rushing made people irritated.
But I have to admit that the vast ocean is indeed too big.
The journey to the first two towers alone took them nearly half a year.
Almost all the time was spent on traveling.
The reason why it took such a short time to get from the World Scar to the two towers was because the two towers were relatively close to each other, and they were also close to the World Scar. In addition, their ship speed was increased, so it took only half a year.
Even the next tower is not far away, at least it is guaranteed that all three towers will be successfully collected within a year. But after that, it will be more troublesome.
At this moment, Alka was holding the latest information from World Scar.
"Hasn't the demon started its counterattack yet?"
Hearing Xia Deti's question, Alka shook his head.
"According to the intelligence, both sides should still be accumulating their strength. The demons still maintain the most basic offensive strength and have no response to the advancement of the defense line.
But all the reconnaissance teams were basically unable to get close to the core area of the demon area, and they could feel the abyss aura getting heavier and heavier, even though the dream kingdom was suppressing it.
It is obvious that the demons are absorbing power, and the situation in the world scar is quite tense now. "
Alka talked about some changes in the intelligence.
"These ships should be carrying the supplies and personnel needed by World Scar, right?" Juanlu said, looking at the ships that passed by the Voice of Dawn.
They had just left the port.
These ships all have obvious symbols of the Church of Our Lady. Judging from the depth of their draft, it can be judged that these ships are almost fully loaded with cargo, and many people can be seen on them.
Most of these people are quite powerful.
It seems that the Church of Our Lady is transporting support to the front line.
Looking at this scene, Julia sighed silently: "I hope our journey goes smoothly and we can make a circle and rush back as quickly as possible."
Even though we pray like this, it still takes at least 10 years to go around once.
And all the time wasted along the way is spent on the road.
Even though the Sound of Dawn was already controlling the wind and water elements, it was galloping quickly across the sea.
But this accelerated speed only shortened their journey time from more than ten years to about eight or nine years.
As we sailed, we gradually arrived at the vast and uninhabited sea.
Alka entered the small world.
However, the area he came to was the Gobi Desert on the edge of the world.
There was a huge concentrated dark cloud overhead, with lightning flashing on its surface.
The entire area was filled with active thunder elements. As soon as Alka arrived here, his hair began to stand on end.
Even the central lightning tower was repaired by them, but now it has completely become a thunder tower.
It can convert the surrounding magic power into active thunder elements, stimulate the activity of the surrounding elements, and make it easier for them to gather together.
The active thunder element generated even made some small stones on the ground float in the air.
On the other side of the dark cloud, one can see a space crack that is always open, and Alka's thunder element card is still attached to it.
With these two approaches, Leiyun’s development is getting better and better.
Alka floats up.
A ball of lightning elemental life made up of dark clouds and lightning floated down.
A new tribe of lightning elements has emerged, mixed with some dark cloud power.
These lightning elements are in the shape of clouds, with their surfaces covered with lightning, and long lightning tails can be seen as they move.
The dark clouds mainly serve to wrap the core shape of the lightning element, allowing it to float, making it faster and more labor-saving.
By the way, it can also make the attack's range farther, and maybe it can even play a certain defensive role when being attacked.
This is also the appearance that Alka has specially formulated over the past year.
Actually it can no longer be called a complete thunder element, it can be called a thundercloud element.
Of course, the core is still the thunder element, but it has just changed into a more useful appearance.
It is equivalent to adding a layer of armor with special functions.
After looking at the development of the lightning element in front of him, Alka tapped it and felt the hemp and electric light coming from his fingers.
It seems that it is impossible to treat it as a pet.
Even if the lightning element itself has no intention of attacking, the lightning it carries will cause anyone who wants to touch it to be electrocuted.
Not to mention that Alka’s strength has reached the seventh stage, and he can still feel this tingling sensation, which is simply an attack for people of a slightly lower level with a weaker body.
Ordinary mortals are more likely to feel the lightning element stinging their skin when they get close to here.
"Go, go back."
After hearing Alka's words, the thundercloud floated towards the dark clouds above its head.
The size of this lightning element is about the size of Alka's head, but it is the largest one in the entire Thundercloud Tribe and belongs to the leader.
There are only a dozen elements in the entire Thundercloud Tribe.
Most of them are still in an embryonic state of fusion growth. It will take more time to fully grow the entire system.
Take your time, Alka is in no hurry.
…
The sound of dawn galloped across the sea, the strong wind sprayed behind the ship, and the whole ship quickly passed through the sea like a yacht. The bow cut through the sea surface and formed two water curtains that splashed up to both sides.
Under the control of the water flow, although the boat was running fast, the overall experience of the Sound of Dawn was not bumpy but very stable.
As the two alternated, the sound of dawn was like a sports car speeding on the sea.
All that was left was a long white mark.
"Is there a boat?" At the top of the tree canopy, there is a tree house woven with vines.
Jason was in the tree house, looking into the distance with a telescope, and couldn't help but speak.
"Raise it a little."
After hearing this, the branches under the tree house began to grow, and the entire tree house began to extend into the sky.
The tree itself is eight or nine meters high, and the top is more than 10 meters. As it extends, it reaches a height of 20 to 30 meters.
Jason, who was in the tree house, could now clearly see the distance from such a high altitude.
The crystal telescope saw a sailboat heading towards them, and since it was diagonally in front of them, even if the Dawn Sound was fast, the two would likely collide.
However, what surprised Jason was that they were able to meet other ships in such a vast sea. It could be described as fate.
As he looked more closely, Jason sensed something was wrong.
"Notify me that a ship is approaching, and it's not right."
The sound of ding ding ding appeared on the boat.
After a while, everyone on the boat gathered together.
At this time, because the two ships were close to each other and their speed was not slow, when they came to the deck, they could already see the black spot coming towards them from a distance.
Soon the black spot was getting closer and closer.
"Something's wrong, get ready for battle." Jason's voice came from above everyone's head.
At this time, everyone had seen the appearance of the ship from a distance, and why Jason said something was wrong.
The entire ship was dark red in color, and looked like dried blood.
The stern was a sharp angle formed by a pile of dead bones.
The three erected masts were hung with black sails, with the ship's logo outlined in white on the black.
The entire logo looks like a child's graffiti, extremely evil and weird.
Some of them look like skeletons, but they are a little different.
But in general, this ship has fully shown to everyone that it is not a normal merchant ship.
Afterwards, when everyone got closer, they saw some decorations on the ship, various dry bones stuck to the sides of the body, and even corpses hung on the side of the hull.
Many of the corpses were mutilated, some with their skin peeled off to reveal their flesh, and most of the corpses were already rotten and swollen.
After seeing this appearance, Alka no longer had any desire to communicate with the ship.
" Prepare!"
Alka said this, raising his right hand.
"attack!"
As the voice fell, cannons extended from the side of the ship one after another, but the appearance of these cannons was also completely made of vines.
But what was fired out was one fire bomb after another, which were concentrated elemental shells.
Under the autonomous control of the Voice of Dawn, the shooting was very accurate. It hit the enemy ship in an arc and ignited it instantly.
Something sharp and piercing emanated from the bow.
Then a spear formed by the hurricane pierced through the enemy's bow in an instant, leaving a deep dent.
After the enemy was hit twice, a faint blood-red shield rose up.
There was a golden light flashing in Alka's eyes as he looked at the sailboat in the distance.
"Break their masts and render them incapable of movement."
At Alka's words, thunder roared and flashed.
This time, dense electric lights directly hit the enemy's blood-red shield.
But it is obvious that although the Sound of Dawn has considerable attack power, the damage caused by these attacks combined together is not very strong.
Simon came to the top of the stern deck and controlled the space cannon to fire at the enemy.
The gray-white energy ball hit the shield directly, destroying the entire shield in an instant.
Their naval attacks are too accurate.
Then a large amount of lightning struck, instantly hitting the enemy's three masts and setting them on fire.
Controlling the water flow to rotate around the enemy, the enemy lost the ability to move and completely stopped as the water flow slowly rotated around him.
"Stay close and stay alert."
As they spoke, everyone prepared for battle, and Dawn's Voice slowed down and slowly moved towards the enemy. A shield had already been raised beside him to resist the enemy's attack.
As they got closer, the situation on the ship was revealed to everyone, making them frown and with enough disgust flashing in their eyes.
The deck looked like a slaughterhouse.
The sailors on the ship, dressed like pirates, were putting out the fire everywhere.
Seeing Alka and the others approaching, two figures jumped directly onto their boat, wanting to board them.
Looking at the two figures in the air, Alka frowned.
Reach out and shake it.
Two arms made of water streams suddenly emerged from the sea surface and held the two figures firmly in the palms of the water streams.
An ice-blue card appeared, and the water immediately froze into ice, leaving the two unable to move at all.
Ropes formed by elements and dream mist bound the two people.
Two soul chains flew out from Lucillia's hands and bound the two people, binding their bodies and souls together.
This will prevent their souls from escaping.
The scene on the ship had already made everyone think that the people on the ship were as bad as the cultists, so they were afraid that the two who jumped on board might be disguised abyss demons.
Controlling the two arms, Alka lifted the two people who jumped down and brought them in front of him, looking at them.
"The strong smell of the abyss, they are indeed a group of evil cultists."
The two cultists in front of him also had all kinds of evil runes painted all over their bodies.
One of them was just entering the fourth stage, and the other one was just reaching the perfection of the fourth stage. After a careful look, these two should be the strongest ones on the ship.
To them, they are just minions.
Seeing this situation, Alka turned to the others and said.
"All the evil cults want to kill them all. Let's see if there are any people on the ship who have been captured by them."
Nodding, Pororo and Jason jumped directly onto the enemy's deck.
Simon and Urulius followed closely behind.
The rest stayed on the Voice of Dawn.
Then came the screams of the cultists. Facing these cultists, everyone had no idea how many they had been killed in the World Scar, and they had a strong ability to distinguish them and killed them without mercy.
As for the enemy's fight back, there is no point.
"Tell me, is it a coincidence or is it coming specifically for us?" Alka asked.
This is important.
If it was just a coincidence, then it would be fine. But if it was specifically targeting them, then some questions are worth pondering.
Alka couldn't help but think of the Devouring Mouth.
The two captured cultists didn't show any change in expression. They looked at Alka listening to his questions, and suddenly an evil look appeared on their faces.
Shouted loudly.
"For the destruction of the world, for the abyss!"
As soon as they finished speaking, gray-black flames ignited on their bodies, and the burning flames seemed to have a blood-red color.
The flames burned the bodies of the cultists and even their souls.
This was part of some ritual, and they had been preparing to die.
In just a few seconds, the two cultists were burned to ashes, and the treasures on their bodies fell to the ground.
It fell to the deck below.
At this time, the corpses on the deck, the blood, and the bones inlaid on the entire ship began to move, as if forming some kind of ritual.
The bloody water from the melting corpse.
The enemies they had just killed also turned into blood when the ceremony began.
Those who had not been killed by them in time also melted while wailing while running.
Seeing this situation, everyone jumped off the ship.
Under the control of the clouds controlled by Urulius, they floated around the ship. Arka and the others on the Voice of the Dawn also watched this scene, ready to fight at any time.
"This ritual can no longer be stopped. It has long been embedded in this ship and is ready to be activated at any time." Urulius said.
Then, a pool of blood began to appear in the formation of scarlet blood. The pool of blood on the deck began to bubble, and the entire ship seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.
A demon emerged from the pool of blood, and the scarlet blood seemed to have turned into his red skin.
"I smell blood, mortals, offer your souls so I can eat your flesh.
"Ha, ka, ka, ka!"
Along with his declaration, there was also a strange, sharp laugh that sounded like a stuck shell.
A demon whose strength has reached the pinnacle of the sixth stage.
For those who perform the ceremony, it is indeed worth spending so much energy and life.
However, when he completely emerged from the pool of blood, he saw Alka and others surrounding the ship.
The entire demon immediately stood still, as if stunned.
Apparently he recognized Alka and the others.
Without hesitation, the body began to tear apart, seemingly in a suicidal attempt.
However, at this time, the blood pool changed again. The demon turned into blood like the humans before, and his wailing could be heard.
These people were not created by Alka and his men, but were part of the ritual. There is a hidden part to the ritual.
It's really weird and evil.
This time, the thicker pool of blood turned into a giant round worm mouth full of sharp teeth. What a familiar way.
For Alka and the others, it was all too familiar.
A demon emerged from the huge mouth.
"Well, everyone, long time no see."
