Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 11

After making a decision, the old officer took off his hat as he spoke to the deacons about the things they should and should not have done. Then he started drawing talismans on his old and withered body with specially distilled chicken blood. He had drawn spells many times, but since this was the first time he had drawn a spell on his body, he was a little awkward. He became irritated and sighed when he realized this, and felt very sorry for the lack of preparation, so he asked his deacons for help.

These deacons knew what this spell was for, and how dangerous it was, so they were very surprised when they saw this all happening. Because in the Evil God Church, people at the lower levels had to follow orders given by people at the higher levels, they had no choice but to follow his orders. Immediately, on the attendant's chest and back, many deep red spells were drawn, and the spells formed a strange magic array.

He tried to perform the enchantment by practicing magic on the magic array, and happily nodded when he discovered that it worked.

“Do you remember what I said?” Ask.

The deacon nodded.

“Good. Then, all of you should pray to our Lord and let him decide who will be my successor. Unfortunately, my limited knowledge prevented me from seeing the future. You must all remember that you can only survive death and become immortal for eternity by dedicating your body and mind to our Lord! ”Thin and withered man began to smile with satisfaction.

“See, I am the best example.” Then he turned to face baldacchino, while tightly holding onto the wooden stick “sacrifice”, and pierced his own chest with it.

That enchanted hard stick was even harder than iron or steel. Its sharp end, which was like a spear, instantly pierced through its skin and pierced through its heart. Blood spurted out and splashed the magic wand, then the red stain became a red line that spread into the air in a circle. The phrases and sentences written with magic words were actually paeans for the evil god.

Even though the old officer was severely injured, he still did not fall, and instead his mood increased as if he did not feel any pain at all. He opened his arms, and made a hugging posture. He laughed loudly, and his laughter was as bright as the sun. To the deacons accustomed to his gloomy face, this was an incredible miracle. Then, his body began to wither rather quickly, and became dead wood almost in the blink of an eye.

“Yes my Lord, I can finally go to the world where you live ..” Comes a whisper that is too weak to be heard. His body is too deformed to be recognized. Starting from the head, his body began to disintegrate and turn into dust.

In a short time, the old attendant had already become a pile of dust, as if he had never existed in this world before. Baldacchino who was in front of the pile of dust started to dazzle in a red light, which was as red as blood and unfathomable as an ocean.

Among the deacons, the eldest took a deep breath, united himself, and walked to the front of the baldacchino. He then lifted the sacred emblem, closed his eyes, and began to whisper the mantra, while the other deacons stood around baldacchino in a circle and sang the paean song together.

Then the statue on the roof started to glow red, at the same time, a strong negative energy appeared, which was very frightening.

Sui Xiong immediately sensed this, and frowned. Although he did not believe the so-called “Kamp Baik” or “Kamp Jahat”, he, as a good person, was indeed disgusted with his strong and negative energy. There is a saying, “Do not strive to work with people whose path is not your path.”

“B *stards! Has a very strong tactic, while all this time they only kept it a secret .. ”He glared at the statue and secretly watched it, while fighting against the skeletal troops.

Soon, he discovered that he had made a huge mistake. The statue sent out a dazzling red light, which targeted not the skeleton, but him!

As soon as the red light appeared, Sui Xiong already knew which direction he was heading. He dodged it unconsciously, or thought he could do it. Although he had great strength and was extremely agile, he forgot about the very important thing— His body does not belong to a human, but a very large jellyfish. If he ran at human speed, he could easily dodge the red light, but because the body of the jellyfish was too big, even though he had already moved several meters in the blink of an eye, it was because the body of the jellyfish was too big, he did not manage to escape from it in time and was hit.

After he was hit, he felt a strange energy coming out of nowhere, and it was extremely overwhelming and terrifying. Accompanied with energy was an irregular and fierce will, as if thousands of people were shouting at him and asking him to kneel and give up. Although he still did not know too much about this world, his instincts told him that he should not give up, otherwise he would be cursed for good!

Sui Xiong's instincts were right. The spell he was under was called “Thrall”, which was a powerful magic tactic only Evil Gods could practice. Practicing this magic was severely restricted, meaning that one could only practice it around Hallows that were given special attention by gods. However, this tactic also had to be paid dearly: faithful officers had to be sacrificed to establish a relationship with the Kingdom of God, and then the enemy could get to his knees with the power of God.

This magic is indeed very powerful; once a person who is hit fails to face the great pressure of the Kingdom of God, he will become a faithful servant of God.

But the effect of this tactic is not so obvious in tough men, as every strong man has gone through many hardships and shed blood or sweat on their way to success. The kingdom of God is wonderful, but the will of the tough men is still something. So, trying to tame them in this tactic was highly unlikely.

But to the large, mentally weak beings who had used all their energy to make themselves stronger, this magic was not something they were capable of fighting against.

Within the many Evil God Churches, there were many great creatures that were enslaved and fed to become their powerful helpers.

The old officer in White Leaf Village intended to practice the urge to brainwash the big jellyfish and make it a church helper. Once he succeeds in doing so, his church can defeat other churches in the surrounding area, and then he can rule the entire region. To do this, he did not even mind sacrificing himself. He is a tough guy! The old officer's sacrifice actually paid off.

In the world of his own mind, there were already terrifying waves and terrifying waves. He felt he had become a small boat floating in the sound waves that forced him to surrender, and he could be defeated and drown in the water at any time.

“I can't go on like this!” He was frightened and angry, and subconsciously practiced a life-saving magic tactic.

The gemstone inside his huge jellyfish body trembled heavily and began to dazzle in a bluish-white light, instantly, his entire body started to dazzle and became transparent like a gem. Meanwhile, an incredible magic energy erupted and became an actual solid shield, which firmly kept the attack outside. Sui Xiong's magical energy and God's energy collided violently with each other, constantly creating an extremely frightening explosive sound. At the same time, the cold air continued to spread out and instantly seeped several miles. As long as they have the actual shape, no matter what they are – people, skeletons, grasses, trees, rocks, irons or steel – once they touch the cold air, they were all frozen inside the hard ice, changing from the cold air. Notably, more than half could not bear the extreme cold that the human world had never known before, and became extremely weak and fragile. One could imagine that when the ice started to melt, they would all turn into powder.

The raging sound in Sui Xiong's mind suddenly stopped, and the overwhelming pressure also weakened. Before finally disappearing, Sui Xiong howled and attempted to shatter the pressure into pieces.

Now he finally had time to look around to see what had happened. What he saw was a gloomy sight.

The entire village, all the farmland and open ground had already been frozen, even the forest was far away in the distance. Everything covered in the bluish-white ice was fixed, silent and lifeless. Only the statue on the roof of the stone house was still flaming red, while the red light gradually weakened, and in a short time, it disappeared as well.

He was silent for a while and sighed deeply, then he started absorbing the cold air back into his body, and stored it in the gemstone. He discovered that the cold energy he had stored for such a long time had been consumed by over thirty percent in such a short period of time. Only one step turned the entire village into a dead land.

The animals, humans, and even skeletons were buried deeply underground, and had been completely destroyed. The moon was still shining in the sky, but no more skeletons came out from the ground. Not long ago, the villagers and skeletons were still in a big fight. Now, they were all lying on the ground as the rest of their lives.

“This ... really can't be trusted!” Sui Xiong lowered his head and forced a smile in silence. His huge jellyfish body trembled and floated in the cold air that had yet to fully float.

After a long time, when the sun rose, he suddenly woke up in shock, and walked towards the stone house. He had a hunch that the answers to all these strange events could be found inside.

Since her village was not that big, it only took two to three steps for her to walk to the stone house, and since her jellyfish body was too big to enter, Sui Xiong decided to tear down the house.

He grabbed the roof with his tentacles and struggled to pull it. The roof of the company shook slightly before separating from the house. He picked it up and looked inside the house, and now everything was revealed in front of him.

Sui Xiong glanced at the lifeless girls in black, sighed, and then focused on baldacchino. Still, he had a hunch that this baldacchino was the key. He placed the roof on the side, and grabbed one of his tentacles to touch the baldacchino.

Before he even touched it, a violent and cold willpower appeared out of nowhere, and prevented him from moving forward. It was the same as the determination that tried to enslave her last night, grand, cold, and cruel.

Sui Xiong humped and activated cold energy before that willpower defeated him. This time, the bluish-white cold air only enveloped a small area of – only himself and baldacchino.

That determination was completely guarded by the cold air. At the same time, Sui Xiong rolled up his tentacles and snared the baldacchino, trying to pull it out of the ground.

Seeing that the baldacchino was about to be taken away, the determination suddenly became furious. Meanwhile, thick clouds appeared in the clear sky, and the inexhaustible power of killing instinct enveloped the ground like a thick fog.

Sui Xiong did not know where this willpower came from, but it was indeed powerful, and a great change had occurred both in the sky and on the ground before even starting the attack.

But he's not afraid at all. The cold energy condensed quickly, and became a sharp blade. He felt as if there was a fire in his heart, and thought that since that determination was asking for trouble, it should also have realized that it would be pierced once or twice as a result!

Both he and determination had prepared to fight, and the conflict would begin at any moment. But before they took action, a golden lightning rod struck the sky and tore through the dark clouds. Meanwhile, the sound of an old man's laughter sounded, which was very pleasant.

The cruel and cold strength of determination was both frightening and furious, but not wanting to get caught between the two fires, it enraged him. The warm and heroic will power spread towards Sui Xiong, and became a golden light that fell on the cold energy barrier and began to seep in. That golden light was extremely powerful, and it refreshed him, comforted him, and even replenished the energy he had spent before. Immediately, the golden light disappeared, with only the beautiful voice of an old man still echoing in the sky.

Although he was unable to understand the voice, he could feel that the voice was conveying a clear message — kindness and encouragement.
