Chapter 435: -183- The True Ritual
"Bad news! It’s a Corruption Ceremony! Stop him quickly!"
Seeing the black-red glow spreading around the Black Dragon, Yulster’s expression changed instantly.
Sebastian’s demeanor also became grave.
As an Elf who had lived for hundreds of years, he was not unfamiliar with the "Corruption Ceremony."
It was an evil Divine Art created by the Blood Demon Duke Yabaton, capable of assimilating those with gaps in their souls into His fanatical Believers.
Those assimilated would become Undead Creatures, stripped of all emotions, with nothing left in their hearts but fervor for the Blood Demon Duke.
Their strength, too, would be greatly increased due to the corruption and the fall...
However, such an evil ceremony was quite troublesome to carry out.
Especially for corrupting those powerful beings, which often required lengthy preparations and day after day of prayers to congeal the power of the Blood Demon Duke.
Not only that, but the Caster also had to find a suitable magical container as a tool to activate the Corruption Ceremony, and this container not only had to possess strong Magic Power but must also be pre-imbued with the Divine Power of the Blood Demon Duke.
"It’s the core of the Divine Statue from the Ancient Hall, he actually used the core of the Divine Statue from the Ancient Hall as the activating container for the Corruption Ceremony! He has been preparing for this ceremony from the beginning!"
"Damn it, the Black Dragon has always been solitary and cruel, almost impossible to have any gaps in its soul, and it has extremely high magic resistance..."
"To heed the Blood Demon Church is one thing, but how could she be corrupted so quickly by the ceremony?!"
Yulster was both shocked and skeptical, while Sebastian said solemnly,
"It’s the injury..."
"She has always had an injury!"
"We can’t worry about that now, we must stop his ceremony at all costs, we cannot allow the Black Dragon to be fully corrupted, that would become an unstoppable Monster!"
Yulster spoke rapidly.
After saying this, he and Sebastian charged towards the Black Dragon, one after the other.
However, as they were about to reach the Black Dragon, a Blood Demon Priest blocked their way.
His eyes were blood-red, and his body emitted an evil and insane aura, with dark red Magic Power flowing continuously around him.
At this moment, his aura surged as well, and his right arm, which had been cut off, regrew with barbs and Scale Armor, much like a Demon.
The three of them quickly engaged in battle, and for a time, Sebastian and Yulster, fighting together, were actually held off by the Blood Demon Priest!
"It’s Fallen Demonization, the people of the Blood Demon Church are all lunatics! They have no regard for their lives!"
Yulster said with an ugly face.
And just in a moment’s gap, the Black Dragon’s corruption was completed.
"Roar—!"
A deep roar pierced the air as the Black Dragon spread its sky-covering wings and took off again.
She was enshrouded in black-red smoke, her Scale Armor was bristling with barbs, looking more ferocious and terrifying than ever.
The oppressive terror came at them like a tsunami, as she bent her dragon’s head down and unleashed a massive and fearsome Dragon Breath towards the two.
For the first time, Yulster, who had always been in control, changed color:
"Bad news! It’s a corrupted Dragon Breath! Dodge quickly!"
They both rapidly retreated, narrowly evading the dragon breath’s assault.
However, when they lifted their heads again, the Black Dragon had disappeared from the sky.
The two of them froze, then an unprecedented sense of crisis welled up inside them.
Almost simultaneously, they turned around to defend, but what greeted them was a horrific surge of force.
Somehow, the Black Dragon had already appeared behind them, her tail spiked with barbs, delivering a whip-like strike that sent them both flying...
Under the unstoppable force, Sebastian and Yulster were sent flying like kites with their strings cut, crashing through countless trees.
And when they fell to the ground, even with their Blazing Sun Level physical constitution, they had already suffered no small injury under the dual effects of the impact and the force of corruption.
The Black Dragon slowly landed, looking down upon them with sanguine eyes that held nothing but madness.
The Blood Demon Priest came before the two of them.
His eyes were blood-red, his expression ferocious, and within that ferocity, he bore a mad smile.
The power of the fallen surged unrestrained, and it seemed that any moment he might collapse under the dark magic power, yet the Blood Demon Priest didn’t care, instead he cackled madly,
"Crimson Blade, and the Earl of the Nais Bloodline, you... cannot stop the coming of my lord!"
The coming of my lord?
Wasn’t it supposed to be a breakout through the corruption of the Black Dragon?
Yulster and Sebastian were simultaneously stunned.
However, at this moment, they witnessed the already corrupted Black Dragon suddenly starting to convulse.
A black and crimson glow spread once more around her, and the blurry Divine Statue that had integrated with her suddenly flew out by itself.
No, that was not the real Divine Statue.
It was just a shadow.
The shadow emitted a misty glow, shining on the ground, and soon a complex and mysterious Magic Array began to slowly emerge with the Black Dragon at its center.
Still clutched in the dragon’s claw, Nisi was stunned when he saw that Array, blurting out almost subconsciously,
"Shit! A Divine Descent Ceremony Array! You bastard actually engraved the Divine Descent Ceremony Array into the Divine Statue!"
"From the beginning, you never planned to perform the Divine Descent in the ruins, but instead intended to use the Dragon Vein power of Odosia as a conduit!"
"You chose not her as your vessel, but her!"
Hearing Nisi’s words, the Blood Demon Priest gave it a surprised look and then smiled at Yulster and Sebastian,
"I must thank you for further weakening her power, especially you, of the Nais Bloodline, for thoroughly opening the rift in her heart..."
"Rest assured, I will remember your contributions with gratitude and leave intact corpses for you all."
Having said that, he picked up the Blood Rod again and began to chant a spell, with rising and falling intonations.
A deep glow bloomed on the Magic Array on the Black Dragon, and a breath of ancient vastness began to slowly spread through the void...
The scent of the fallen kept rising, with black and crimson light piercing the sky.
Feeling the increasingly terrifying pressure, Nisi’s black face was almost turning green:
"Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
"Since it’s not me, let me go already!"
However, when everyone thought that the Divine Descent Ceremony was about to begin with the corrupted Black Dragon at its center, the black and crimson light unexpectedly shone upon Nisi.
Nisi: ...?
"Isn’t it... wasn’t Odosia supposed to be the vessel? How did I become the center of the Array?"
With an expression that was both mocking and serious, the Blood Demon Priest glanced at him:
"Lord Nicholas, when did I ever say that Odosia was the vessel for my lord?"
Both Sebastian and Nisi suddenly had strange expressions on their faces.
"Hold on, I mean... Mr. Priest, are you sure you want to choose me? And without the Blasphemy Cross?"
Nisi couldn’t help but say.
"There’s no need to stall for time any longer, Lord Nicholas. My lord will remember your contribution,"
the Blood Demon Priest said with a smile.
After he spoke, he waved the Blood Rod, and a tremendous force of corruption surged towards Nisi.
However, just as that force of corruption entered Nisi’s body, a burst of crimson radiance exploded on him suddenly...
