Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Rituals of the Evil God

"Wasn’t I just using a transformation potion to dress up a scarecrow earlier? Suddenly there was a strange sound behind me, and when I looked back, guess what? A gap opened up in the air for no reason, and then these eerie things broke through the gap and came out!"

Even though she had been chased by the Blood and Flesh Giant through half the forest, Rowena’s mouth did not stop. Holding a broom with both hands, she described the thrilling scene like a storyteller.

She did not forget to remind everyone, "Don’t think about fighting those ghostly things. My cutting magic is completely ineffective against them! We must find a way to lead them beyond the Empire’s boundary line!"

Ethan and the others exchanged looks. It was like the sun was rising from the west. It was hard to imagine a heavily wanted criminal in more than five countries was trying her best to rescue Ximu Town, using herself as bait to lure these blood creations out of the Empire’s boundary.

"But there’s a serious problem now!"

Rowena’s voice was urgent, and they could imagine the anxious expression behind the smiling mask. "My broom can’t fit all of you. Oh, Knight Commander, I just saved your life and gave you a ride on the magic broom, that’s 20 Gold Lions as the fee, don’t forget to pay!"

"You all go first, I’ll stay behind to cover you!"

The other side volunteered to leap off the broom.

During the conversation, the Blood and Flesh Giant had already approached the cliff. A hand covered with blood vessels grasped the edge of the cliff, followed by an uncovered face with red muscles and clear lines. The bulging eyes surveyed everyone.

The gun in her hand emitted a glaring silver-white beam that transformed into a streaming bullet, hitting the Giant’s face. However, the light ball was like a stone thrown into a pond, merely causing ripples before disappearing without a trace.

"It’s some kind of complex anti-magic barrier!"

Her pupils contracted at the sight of the unknown monster, wielding an advanced spell she had never seen before. The sword blade touched the Giant’s raised fist, leaving only a slight scratch that couldn’t stop the Giant’s heavy punch aimed at the ground. Although she dodged the attack, the light armor blessed by the Master was still burned through, leaving a hole.

The stinging heat tore open the skin on her forearm, leaving a shocking wound. Worse still, the wound cut off her ability to accumulate energy.

The wind pressure lifted her body, throwing it to the ground. Before landing, a pair of white wings held her form.

Turning her head, she saw the Frost Giant Bird that had appeared in the Imperial Capital not long ago.

But Ethan’s condition seemed no better. The rising ice spikes managed to delay the Giant’s descending punch but caused no damage, as the Giant’s monstrous hand shattered the ice spikes with a slight force.

Ethan’s face was grim. This was the first time since practicing Ice Arrows that he encountered a creature the Ice element couldn’t penetrate.

Magic immunity, physical immunity, and blood-red energy surging on the Giant’s body would burn nearby contact. The blood it occasionally dripped was a strong curse.

More terrifyingly, the Blood’s movement speed was incredibly fast; Rowena sped along on her magic broom, just barely widening the gap. She stopped to say a few words before the Giant caught up.

Such Blood and Flesh Giants, densely packed, practically uncountable; such numbers could completely flatten a battlefield!

Such giants...

How much proficiency can they provide?

Ethan lamented that the Ice element couldn’t penetrate the magic barrier of the Blood and Flesh Giant, which meant he couldn’t consume the experience they offered.

"Stop dawdling, Ethan!"

Impossible to defeat!

The other side pulled him back by the arm from behind. An unprecedented sense of defeat, she felt a rare fear for a certain creature, but in front of these Blood and Flesh Giants, they seemed as insignificant as insects.

Even if Ethan’s Fire magic could bring down a Blood and Flesh Giant, he’d eventually be overwhelmed by innumerable successors from the mountainside.

However, Ethan not only refused to retreat, he also shook off her hand, facing the Giant head-on.

He could faintly hear the cries of every piece of flesh on the Giant, making him realize it was an assembly of countless twisted souls, twisted to the point where their original outlines were indistinguishable—human, beast, demon. They were enduring unimaginable torture, their shattered consciousness burning endlessly in purgatory.

That highly corrosive blood was the cry of souls in despair.

It was in the distinct style of Bajatos. Bajatos resembled an abstract artist, enjoying breaking and twisting original objects before assembling them in an erratic fashion. But Bajatos’ art consumed biological souls instead of paint.

Honestly, Ethan couldn’t understand such avant-garde art, but he knew Bajatos might be able to watch him in some way right now.

It seems to be Bajatos’ way of declaring a commercial war has begun.

Bajatos’ masterpiece not only could win a war but could also easily destroy a town.

"Sorry, it was rash of me earlier; I spread some inaccurate rumors concerning you without verification."

The Blood and Flesh Giant stopped, looking down at Ethan, listening to his apology.

It proved the Evil God Bajatos still lived, existing in a deep level within the corrupted area, while rumors from Evil God’s Followers concerning the death of the God of Righteousness might be true.

The Ave and others behind him were speechless, thinking Ethan must be mad to try communicating with such twisted monsters.

At this point, could a mere apology solve anything?

To dispel the Giants this way?

Absolutely wishful thinking!

Ethan’s attitude was sincere. After speaking, he didn’t forget to bow to the Blood and Flesh Giant with only its head exposed before him. He disliked rumor mongers and absolutely didn’t want to be one himself. "I will clarify the rumors with my teacher later and inform her of your existence."

As he spoke, the Blood and Flesh Giant’s movements did slow down.

The bleeding eyes locked onto Ethan, the forced open mouth uttered murmurs incomprehensible, clearly transmitting into the minds of everyone present, as if it had always existed there.

The murmurs drove them mad, three of them instinctively covered their ears, yet to no avail.

That voice was everywhere, and what made them terrified was the itchiness that spread on their skin as if something was about to grow from beneath.

"But, that’s a separate matter."

Ethan suddenly changed his tone, "About the time I made a mimicry in the corrupted area to fool you, I don’t regret it at all. And if I get the chance, I’ll do it again."

All the murmurs disappeared at that moment, along with the unbearable itchiness.

They saw the light, instantly engulfing the Blood and Flesh Giant, and everything within sight.

It became the sole existence in this world.

"Additionally, thank you for your selfless sharing."

Only the holy and compassionate voice remained amidst the radiance.

Ethan watched as the Blood and Flesh Giant vanished in the light, its broken souls freeing themselves from their prisons, leaving only the hanging arm on the cliff.

This would be important research material.

"Ave, we must think of a way to—"

Ethan’s voice abruptly halted as he turned and saw a bizarre scene.

Ave and the others behind him made the same gesture, with hands clasped, eyes closed, and heads bowed devoutly.

They spoke in unison, "May the divine blessing descend upon each and every person."
