Chapter 129: Live Sacrifice of the Small World!
The drizzling rain began to turn sticky and dense, quickly becoming a downpour.
And Ta Ke, amidst this rain curtain, slowly expounded.
"You don't have the ability to perform the large-scale demon hunters' exorcism sacrifice ritual, do you?"
Ta Ke said slowly.
"Yes!" Andelie nodded.
"Moreover, you also said before that you can cleanse through the sacrifice of dark beings and the forces of depravity, distortion, and sin, thereby continuously obtaining ever-stronger light power, right?"
"It seems you haven't been lacking in probing my abilities from my teammates during this time."
Andelie smiled, but it seemed to tug at his wound, his smile slightly distorted.
"If that's the case, then that's enough."
Ta Ke glanced at the position of the Otherworld Gate Layer Realm.
"How is the Dark Sun power inside that Otherworld Gate Layer Realm Small World?"
"It's intensely strong and astonishing, truly like a small shrine of the Dark Sun Church; I really want to ignite it with a holy fire."
Upon hearing that, Andelie straightaway shook his head.
"That's right." Ta Ke said slowly.
"Andelie·Fan, the time has come to test your true skill."
"What do you mean?" Andelie·Fan blinked slightly, not quite grasping what this steam wizard meant.
Ta Ke took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"I need to unleash your demon-hunting sacrifice ritual's ability, to perform a live sacrifice of the entire Otherworld Gate Small World."
"Burn them all to death!"
"A live sacrifice of the whole small world? Burn them all to death?"
"I'm a demon hunter; what do you think I am?"
"Moreover... is this something a demon hunter like me could do?"
Andelie's eyes twitched violently.
"This wizard Ta Ni Lu's ruthlessness once again refreshed his understanding."
After a moment's thought, Andelie shook his head.
"Impossible... even if you bring me back through teleportation, I simply don't have enough time to set up the ritual."
"Moreover... my sacrifice ritual's power cannot possibly cover the entire world."
"We don't need to go back." Ta Ke said lightly.
"You also don't need to channel your power to the whole world."
"You only need to initiate the ritual; I will help channel the light-containing demon hunter's holy light power there to meticulously cleanse each person."
"That's impossible!"
Andelie retorted.
"Although you wield light-system wizardry, that only shows you have some light affinity."
"If your sequence lacks a strong and pure light essence."
"The demon hunters' holy light will burn you."
"The first to die will be only yourself."
Ta Ke exhaled lightly.
"You say... is there a possibility."
"Light... is actually part of me."
"What?"
Andelie startled violently, looking at Ta Ke in disbelief.
"But seen, within Ta Ke's roaring steam sequence."
"Holy Angel's Light, blazing forth!"
Otherworld Gate Small World.
Numerous Dark Sun Church guards, herders, under Fei Lai Er, the Ma Ke Pai dispatched, holding torches and hand lamps, to illuminate every corner of the Otherworld Gate Small World.
They wanted to drag those three fellows out.
But soon, the result that made them jump with rage appeared.
The Otherworld Gate Small World had absolutely no trace of those three fellows.
In other words, those three fellows, after destroying the magic teleportation array and the Otherworld Gate, simply slipped away.
Having finished the destruction, they fled directly.
What was left for them was a scene of ruin, scattered with broken remnants.
What angered them most was that the wizard destroyed six teleportation gates, plus the layer realm passage exit.
Even the Otherworld Gate itself, not knowing what happened, was struck by that wizard's single-shot spell-like magic and rendered inoperative.
The massive doorframe of the Otherworld Gate clearly still had energy, and was even still maintaining operation.
But in fact, it no longer functioned.
In other words, those three or four hundred people were all trapped here.
Trapped inside this giant coffin.
If the teleportation gate is not quickly repaired, or the layer realm passage not stabilized, delaying the major affair at Black River Valley.
These people, even if they don't die, will be flayed alive.
"Huh?"
A spellcaster on a rooftop, using Eagle Eye Technique to perceive the surroundings, suddenly noticed something.
He raised his head and looked up.
The next moment, intense, blinding exorcism holy light burst forth.
The spellcaster who had just reached third stage by relying on Dark Sun power used his Eagle Eye Technique to gather the exorcism holy light, directly performing a powerful exorcism on his eyes.
Sizzle!
Accompanied by the hissing sound.
The third-stage spellcaster covered his eyes, collapsed to the ground, and wailed.
Charred thick smoke continuously seeped out from between his fingers.
"My eyes… my eyes…"
The exorcism holy light guided by the exorcism ritual.
Not only does it possess strong light attributes, it also has the ability to strongly purge, dispel darkness, distortion, impurity, evil, and mutation.
It is innately endowed with an unparalleled restraining power against Dark Sun dimensional power.
Normally.
Exorcists contend against Dark Sun transcendent beings.
Then it depends on whether the power of Dark Sun or light is stronger.
If Dark Sun's power is stronger, demon hunters will likewise be slain.
But now, the situation is completely different.
What descends now is not the power of André's fourth-stage demon hunter.
But rather, in the vast ages of history, the immense will of demon hunters coalesced, giving birth to the powerful "Demon Hunter Holy Spirit" power.
The powerful Demon Hunter Holy Spirit power guided by the ritual needs only a trace to inflict massive damage upon Dark Sun power.
As the intense Demon Hunter Holy Light shone above the firmament.
Fear began to brew, spread, and then rapidly surge within the Small World of the Exotic Realm Gate.
Large numbers of Dark Sun believers, herders, Dark Sun fallen, and Dark Sun guards, under the illumination of the Demon Hunter Holy Light, billowed black smoke rose from them.
"Damn it… hurry and hide."
"Watch out for the exorcism holy light in the sky."
"Shameless demon hunters only do this kind of sneak attack; if you have guts, come out and fight face to face."
"Once I get out, I'll march straight to Saint Roland, you foolish demon hunter—you've successfully enraged me."
Curses and clamor rose and fell with the ascent of the holy light.
However, many members of the Dark Sun Church had no choice but to hide everywhere inside buildings, in places where the heart-pounding exorcism holy light could not reach.
A second-stage devout believer of Dark Sun.
After bathing in the exorcism holy light, just a few steps in, he could no longer endure.
He struggled to climb forward.
"Great Lord… save me…"
As he crawled, the second-stage devout Dark Sun believer was, by the purifying power of the holy light, evaporated of his flesh-and-blood body and preternatural constitution sustained by Dark Sun, even his skeleton quickly cracking and shattering.
At this moment, large numbers of Dark Sun fallen roared, struggled, and were angry, wanting to flee but having nowhere to go.
They ran about in a frenzied, dazed manner.
As they ran, they were ignited.
Thereafter, in the scorching of the holy light flames, they despaired, struggled, and died swiftly.
One after another, grotesque, twisted fallen corpses lay there, bizarrely appearing within the Small World of the Exotic Realm Gate.
At this time, only those transcendent beings who had hidden could escape disaster.
But the steps of exorcism purification have not ended.
Indeed, it could be said to have just begun.
As the Demon Hunter Holy Light gradually intensified.
The air began to fill with a scorching power that awed the Dark Sun Church's transcendent beings.
That feeling is like being in a crematorium, sensing the temperature gradually rising.
It scorches the flesh, but torment the soul!
…………
Meanwhile.
Outside the Small World of the Exotic Realm Gate.
André, who had opened the exorcism ritual, had already felt a large amount of source energy experience feedback to himself.
Large amounts of bewildered soul origins also continually rose through purification at the altar.
Even the dying wails before death continually rang in André's ears.
The deathly wails faintly evoked a resonance in André Fan.
It made him involuntarily recall his teacher's instruction to him: "Demon hunter, you must have a heart of redemption!"
"What we're doing—isn't this a little too cruel?"
André looked at Taku beside him, who was drawing the exorcism power into the Small World of the Exotic Realm Gate, and spoke softly.
"Even if they have devoted themselves to darkness, we should forgive their souls rather than torment them like this."
Taku seriously thought about it, then looked at André Fan!
"Why not end the ritual now? I'll send you in, you tell them, and see if they'll accept your redemption."
Andre, whose silver pupils constricted slightly, took a deep breath and said.
"You hold on, I'm going to increase the ritual intensity!"
"Burning them all to death is the best salvation for their souls!"
