[Vol. 5] Chapter 135: Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill!
It’s an interesting question, but right now, Violet cannot give a clear judgnt or answer, nor is this a good ti for deep thought or research.
The thunder outside continues to crack and shake, accompanied by the proud roars of the dragon.
Through the perspective of her avatar, Violet can grasp the situation on both the inside and outside simultaneously, so she is not worried about the little dragon facing an overwhelming enemy and falling into danger or a tough battle.
Although the true identity of this enemy remains unclear, the fact that they can counter the 8th-tier magic ?Roar of the Holy Fla? from a distance, even with the aid of forbidden power, indicates they are certainly not so common weakling.
Since the last battle against the Goddess of Withering in the Sky City, the little dragon hasn’t had a chance to stretch her wings, so it’s a good opportunity for her to hone her skills.
That said, the outside situation is ultimately just a distraction. Although there is a fierce exchange in the skies, it does not have a decisive impact on the overall situation.
Ti to get moving.
“Alright, let see… what exactly you are.”
Looking at the blood-red seals that had been nearly purified by the divine flas, now exposed and unprotected, the black-haired girl pondered briefly before choosing to hold the ?Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart? as a dium and gently placing it against the surface.
“Boom!!!!!”
A colossal wave of intent surged forth!
?Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill!!!!!!?
?Slaughter is the supre path of the world, the ultimate principle!?
?Annihilate everything, exterminate heaven and earth!!!?
This intent was not mad but pure and radical. Just listening to its voice, the girl seed to visualize a blood river stretching for miles, with mountains of bones, a fierce and deadly aura that threatened to extinguish all life!
Unfortunately, at its core, it was just an intent.
“…Is that so.”
As if completely unaffected, the girl calmly raised her weapon, her expression reflecting a mont of enlightennt and contemplation.
Originally, Violet intended to first use ?Information Detection? to see if she could uncover any information before destroying the focal point here.
After all, since there was resistance and it could provoke such drastic changes in the outside world, it ant these blood-red seals were definitely linked to so powerful entity behind the scenes.
But unfortunately, that unreliable ?Information Detection? was once again t with resistance and rejection, even triggering a counterattack of the sa intent just now.
However, through this, the priestess confird the true identity of the other party.
The four great monarchs of the Demon Realm, with Sluthel, the Demon Lord of ?Slaughter?, representing the path of “Killing”, ranking second in power among the demon lords, just behind the strongest and most mysterious Demon Lord of ?Chaos?. His ferocity and killing intent far surpass those of the other three monarchs.
Even though Violet had never seen this lord of slaughter in person, nor had she ever interacted with or fought him, such a pure will for killing could not simply be created by soone who has rely killed a few people or is accustod to warfare. It could only be attributed to a “Principle”.
Could the mastermind behind the incident in the St. Bergen Mountains be the Demon Lord of Slaughter among the four demon lords?
This seems entirely plausible.
It’s important to note that the demons rampaging on the eastern battlefield were primarily from this monarch, who delights in war and invasion. Since he learned that the forces led by the Bright Light Saintess in the west were joining the battle, it would be perfectly normal for him to set a trap at the ?Wall of Heaven? checkpoint on their inevitable path.
In fact, there had been a significant amount of demonic activity in this area, with scenes of bloodshed and corpses everywhere, aligning perfectly with the notion of ?Slaughter?.
Not to ntion, just monts ago, Violet had personally clashed with so of the intent emanating from the opponent. Although both sides retreated after just a touch, it seed sufficient to draw a final conclusion.
But… is it really so?
The golden divine fire spread downward, instantly enveloping the entire array ford by the gathered blood, vaporizing the blood and erasing the seals. The towering blood-red light finally dimd and disappeared before the girl, leaving her in deep contemplation.
After all, she still hasn’t figured out what the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross? is for, or why it was specifically unleashed in the St. Bergen Mountains.
To put it bluntly, for a mortal to activate a forbidden spell, it would undoubtedly require a national effort, an expense that no small faction or short-term endeavor could manage. The wars within the Holy Empire, including the deploynt of the Bright Light Saintess, had only begun in the past month or two.
Rather than being specifically targeted, it seems more like two separate events happened to coincide, leading to opportunistic utilization.
Of course, it’s also possible that the demons deliberately chose this mont, just as the forbidden spell was nearing completion, to launch their invasion. If that’s the case, the significance of the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross? becos quite intriguing.
Additionally… although Violet hasn’t t the Demon Lord of Slaughter, she can reason that the ?Law of Killing? is not the sa as the ?Law of Blood?. While the Lord of Slaughter is indeed warlike, it doesn’t an that every action he takes is related to blood.
To be honest, until just now, the primary suspect in the priestess’s mind was actually…
This suspicion has yet to fade.
Well, it’s best to first address the most pressing issue at hand, as this incident is far from over.
After the recent encounters and exchanges, Violet has at least gained so understanding of how this forbidden spell, the ?Blood of the Inverted Cross?, operates.
Yuna previously ntioned that to halt the ritual represented by the blood-red pillars, at least half of the foundational points must be destroyed, and this is likely correct.
However, that doesn’t an it’s the only way.
These blood-red pillars are actually a conduit, born from the gathering of a significant amount of blood. They consolidate the power within the seals, forming a so-called core, which then operates collectively, absorbing more blood from the surface and gathering more strength to achieve the currently unclear ultimate goal of this forbidden spell.
That core, however, is not located here.
Theoretically, as long as the aggregate that embodies the power of the forbidden spell can be found and dealt with, the entire spell can be terminated more swiftly and conveniently, though the difficulty would undoubtedly increase several fold compared to clearing the foundational points.
Fortunately, for a certain priestess, this is not entirely impossible.
Thus, the vast sea of soul power, known as SP, has spread like a tide.
“Hmm? This is…”
As if witnessing sothing unexpected, a look of surprise quickly appeared on the girl’s face, along with a pleased smile that often accompanies newfound interest.
“I didn’t expect to see an old friend in a place like this. Hey… it seems that the mysterious group performing the rituals before really was…”
With a wave, she dispelled the golden flas that had accomplished remarkable feats, turned, and left the now truly “empty” cave, heading towards the mountains outside.
