Laveya stood there, searching for a way to run. George loomed menacingly behind her while Maurice stood to her right, his bow fully drawn and aimed at her. Lavinia and Allen stood to her left; their eyes were full of malice, and Petronella was poised to unleash her amnis at any moment. Standing directly in front of her was the Knight of Rounds, Birawa, who had callously killed other High Priest before.
'I see, this party is a suitable party to fight High Priest Allester. That means he's not that good at predicting who will come to attack the region.'
The table has turned. Laveya now had nowhere to run. The only troops she had were six, and then the one holding The Cloven Grail that kept sucking the blood of the dead.
Rather than paying attention to the conspicuous Cloven Grail, Petronella looked at the red book with a silver chain that Laveya was holding.
'So that's the Cursed Gospel that each high priest has,' Petronella guessed.
'Birawa must have invited me to the party so I could analyze that book.
A book that can make you use demonic mana. By using demonic mana, she can use the demon's curse and also nullify many things related to mana.
The book made her run away from the angels' surveillance.
Surprisingly, all the books are armacar. I wonder what kind of cores the devil made to make those nine books.'
Laveya suddenly burst into tears.
"I want to give up..." Laveya said.
"I want to die..."
"But if I die here, I won't be able to become one with Milord."
"So sorry...
I won't die here..."
Laveya immediately opened the book, and the sheets of the black book quickly flipped randomly. The black sheets glowed red.
"Abare Serpent Draconis," Birawa said, advancing towards Laveya while brandishing his sword. Meanwhile, Maurice shoots a god's blessing in the form of an arrow at Laveya.
"Lava Bursts!" shouted Petronella at the same time as Birawa, spewing lava-shaped amnis fire that shot directly at Laveya. The six people behind Laveya advanced, covering Laveya with their bodies. In return, they were the ones who received the attack, then
-BAM
They instantly exploded.
The explosion created a mist that made them unable to see Laveya.
"Did she run away?" said Maurice.
"Petronella! Keep attacking with your amnis! Maurice and George, stay ready! If she comes out of there, catch her!" Birawa ordered.
The fog slowly dissipated.
The silhouettes of the two people left after the explosion were visible.
It was Laveya and the cup holder.
Laveya stabbed the cup holder with her knife while the book flew above her, still glowing red.
"Book of Legis: Summon Satan," Laveya said with a smile and a happy cry.
"What did it say?!"
"Summon Satan?"
They then realized that the grail was already empty, and no more blood was flying on it.
-TIK TIK
There was blood dripping down.
It came from the sky above.
Everyone immediately looked up at the sky.
"Wh-what the HELL IS THAT?!" shouted Lord Barkaley.
Suddenly, everyone was silent, like the calm before the storm. The screams of soldiers pierced through the air. Their cries echoed through the night as they witnessed an otherworldly terror unfold before their eyes. A massive eye loomed in the sky, piercing through a portal from another dimension. It oozed with blood, like a grotesque beast thirsting for its prey.
"My lord, I have come for you. I offer you all the human blood that we have taken for five years."
-SPLASH
Unable to look away, they watched in horror as a massive, unfinished hand with long black nails slashed through the air and plunged into the eye from behind. The hand looked like an unfinished hand, with no skin and only rudimentary muscles, causing blood to spurt gradually from around the hand, like a severely burned hand. The sound of tearing flesh and shattering bones echoed throughout the desolate battlefield. Blood spewed from the wounded eye, pooling around the hand like a macabre offering to the entity lurking in the sky, but it's truly not the angels.
The soldiers were frozen with terror, unable to comprehend the monstrous abomination they had witnessed. The hand twitched eerily, as if alive and hungry for more destruction.
"See you again, everyone," Laveya said.
The hand slowly caught Laveya, and the dumbfounded Birawa immediately realized that Laveya would run away using it.
"Petronella! Attack that hand!"
Petronella prepared to draw amnis fire and aimed it upwards at the portal where the hand appeared.
"Exploding Sun"
A huge fireball appeared in front of Petronella's amnis.
Then it shot quickly into the hand.
-BAM
ƥandasnovel·ƈom But it was useless. Petronella's exploding sun did not affect the hand at all. The hand slowly entered the portal.
"Damn! She got away!" said Birawa.
Birawa said that without realizing that everyone was currently in a strange state. As he looked around, he could see that his party members had headaches; some soldiers were scratching their own faces until they bled, the sheer brutality of the scene left them traumatized; all of them seemed to get a mental attack from seeing that horrible figure.
"Then the reason I'm stunned is not because of my carelessness but because of a certain effect given by that hand!" thought Birawa.
"Phoenix Scream," muttered Lavinia, drawing her fire amnis.
The 100 meters around Lavinia glowed, bringing everyone back to their senses. Some of them were forced to sleep by this amnis to recover their mental state.
"Thank you Lavinia," Petronella said.
"Instead of that, what was that? What was that hand?"
There was no mistaking that Lavinia's phoenix scream had wiped out the effect of the mental attack. However, the fear and horror Petronella felt when she saw those eyes being torn out by that huge hand still lingered in her mind, so Petronella's face still looked scared and tired.
"Summon Satan... The reason for Daemon Servus to collect human blood for that grail is to summon Satan back to the world. I don't know how they did it.
It could be that we just saw the process of summoning Satan. And because she didn't have enough blood, they were only able to summon his hand."
"Then just now..."
"We saw the figure of a fallen angel who defied God and created a war with the angels 1000 years ago."
