Chapter 273: Quiet Moonlight

~7 min read 1,387 words

"What should we do now?"

The young seventeen-year-old girl sat down at the long table of the blood banquet. She had thought about what might happen to her when breaking into the manor, but this strange scene still made her at a loss.

"Don't worry, the unknowable-level relic 【Diesel's Sword】 is already being used downstairs. He cannot leave here for the time being. We will entangle Him, the church's god-summoning ritual is fast..."

Mr. Hogg Lundle, also belonging to the Sun Church, was also spitting blood; it should be said that everyone who could still maintain consciousness at the table was spitting blood. Blood stained the white tablecloth, but it made the blood and flesh in the gold plates and silver bowls on the table even more tempting.

Miss Lanina Green, a Tenth-Circle sorcerer also belonging to the Sun Church, was on Miss Iluna's left hand, and the elderly Eleventh-Circle sorcerer Mr. Modro of the Peace Church was on her right.

Dozens of people could not fill the seats at the long table, so footsteps appeared, and more and more figures walked up to the third floor with stiff movements and pulled out chairs to sit at the table. These were guests who had come to attend the banquet. Even if they were unconscious at this moment, being in close contact with a god, even if they could survive, I am afraid they would not be able to return to the normal human world.

Only opposite the blurry figure wearing a red suit, that is, the seat at the other end of the long table, was still empty, but the sound of the bell symbolizing the start of the banquet was getting louder and louder.

Outside the large hole in the wall broken by the church sorcerers to break in, was the wide street facing the manor. Strange phenomena appeared in the blood mist again, and golden Eleventh-Circle stairs rose from the ground. A woman whose face could not be seen clearly, with the destiny ring of an Eleventh-Circle sorcerer floating behind her, stepped onto the stairs.

"It's the Great Witch of the Witch Council!"

Iluna heard someone say in a low voice with difficulty.

For the first time, the blurry figure at the end of the long table stopped eating because of the appearance of mortals, but it was only for an instant. No one knew what happened; they could only see the golden stairs outside the wall hole collapse, and the woman climbing the stairs stopped stiffly in the air. But she actually didn't force her way into the banquet hall to pull out a seat, but vanished into the blood mist like a bubble.

This was the only sorcerer so far who could retreat unscathed. Of course, it was also because she had never entered the blood-colored banquet hall from beginning to end.

Time seemed to have been unable to affect this place. Blood-colored halos appeared on all items in the field of vision, and the urgent bell urged the blood banquet to start. The thick blood mist sent the smell of blood into everyone's nasal cavity, and the scarlet meat on the long table looked so tempting at this moment.

The blurry figure gradually became complete. The Saint was about to appear here completely. Clearly, the flesh only occupied the space of human size, but at this moment, it seemed to be everywhere.

Unconscious ordinary people had already started eating uncontrollably, and the splashing liquid and the sound of swallowing made Iluna feel nauseous instinctively.

"Iluna, close your eyes, it's okay, everything will pass."

Miss Green's voice entered her ears, but this kind of comfort was of no avail.

"Didn't die in the ruins, actually going to die in..."

She closed her eyes, but the swallowing sound in her ears stopped completely two or three seconds later. The wind and the surging mist stopped at the same time, and the mental pressure that made people dizzy actually disappeared briefly.

"Who is it this time?"

She knew there would be people sacrificing themselves one after another, but she couldn't imagine that such an anomaly was produced by which high-circle sorcerer. Dazzling light shone on her eyelids, making the pitch-black after closing her eyes become bright. She opened her right eye, and together with everyone who could still maintain consciousness sitting around the long table, looked at the street outside the broken hole, and then saw an astonishing scene—

In the night sky above the street, a large hole was broken in the blood-red mist. A huge silver moon wheel appeared, as if it were about to fall to the ground, projecting holy moonlight toward here from behind the blood mist.

The silver moonlight from the high sky shone on everyone's face, making the gold and silver tableware on the table reflect light, making the disgusting dishes on the table emit black mist. At the same time, the holy light also healed their spirits and drove away the blood mist. Even for an instant, the banquet hall that shouldn't have existed disappeared, turning back into the third-floor corridor of the manor where unconscious people were scattered.

Although the silver moon's suppression of the blood mist and the banquet hall only lasted for a few seconds, this still made the seventeen-year-old girl almost cry. Everyone felt another equally huge and ancient power coming, not the power of any Orthodox God, but it was equally great.

The wind blew the thick blood mist, and in the distance, there seemed to be a young girl's light singing praising something. Under that silver moon wheel, it was extremely quiet—

*Ding~*

A holy silver beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the figure standing at the end of the street, facing the large hole on the third floor of the manor.

That light was quiet and ancient, profound and holy.

No one knew when he appeared, but at this moment, standing in the silver beam of light was the Outlander Xia De Suren Hamilton, wearing a black cloth robe.

The light drove away the blood mist. Under the hood, Xia De, whose body edges seemed to be plated with golden light, looked up and stared at the Saint who had stopped eating at the end of the long table.

In the eyes of mortals, that was just a man wearing a red suit whose specific appearance could not be seen. But in the eyes of Xia De, whose divine power was gradually being transmitted to his whole body, the huge, squirming flesh and blood had already swallowed this manor; that mass of flesh and blood was the true body of the Saint.

He had not yet fully stepped in here, but compared to the Lake View Manor, He had indeed come.

【Outlander, the divinity is burning. I will control the power for you, be careful with everything.】

"Understood."

In the dark night and blood mist, he closed his eyes, his body floated upward leaving the ground, and the golden liquid in his soul dissipated silently.

The soul and perception were infinitely elevated at this moment, reaching a high dimension that mortals could not describe, but he could still feel that his physical body was just floating above the ground.

The blood mist on the road from the end of the street to the manor dissipated, and his entire body seemed to be melting into that silver sky light. Fine golden luster climbed along the texture of his muscles, spreading from inside his body to his whole body, and the infinite sense of power made "human" gradually sublimate.

The silver moon hung above His head, and the low and slow hymns of thousands of voices gathered together rang out from nowhere, praising His power, praising everything.

The sound of the hymn gradually grew louder, and the silver moon disk overhead bloomed with even gentler light. At this moment, Xia De seemed to understand everything in the world, but also seemed unable to understand everything.

Under the huge silver moon wheel overhead, He landed slowly. The originally tattered black hooded robe had already turned into a pure white robe.

The one who closed his eyes was the outsider, Xia De Su Lun Han Mi Er Dun.

The one who opened his eyes at this moment was a god walking the world.
