Chapter 38: Summoning Ritual! |
“Anyway, Senior Beatrice and Senior Karen, thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what I would have done.”
Lilith thanked them sincerely.
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances.
From Lilith’s reaction, they could naturally tell a few things.
That only made them even more surprised.
Originally, they had thought that the reason Lilith and Vivian had achieved such dazzling results yesterday was because the two had worked together.
Now it seemed that was not the case.
Everything yesterday had been Vivian’s accomplishment alone.
That made the two of them even more curious about Vivian.
Hearing Beatrice’s question, Lilith looked at the black-robed men lying on the ground and suddenly thought of something.
“Right! Vivian too—she must have been followed as well. She might already be in danger.”
As she spoke, Lilith’s gaze became anxious. “Senior Beatrice, Senior Karen, you have to save her!”
Looking at the panicked Lilith, the two were somewhat speechless.
They really wanted to say that she probably did not need saving from them.
But in the end, they said nothing of the sort, and instead had Lilith take them to find Vivian.
......
Meanwhile, on Vivian’s side.
“So why did Lord God come here?!”
Vivian had arrived at a familiar place.
More accurately, it should have been called the place where the nightmare began.
The utterly familiar abandoned little building covered in moss.
The filth and disorder on the ground were plain to see.
Different from yesterday, there were now several collapsed buildings here, as well as a giant pit, with quite a few scorch marks nearby.
Clearly, this was the place where they had killed those people from the Death Church yesterday.
“Ahhh! Lord God, why did you come here?!”
Vivian had absolutely no fondness for this place.
Yesterday’s experience here made Vivian instinctively want to stay far away from it.
But clearly, Lord God did not seem to think so.
“Wuwuwu, Lord God, I don’t want to come here!”
Vivian screamed madly in her heart.
After the experience of lifting the seal earlier, Jiang Chen worried that summoning the BOSS might also cause the same kind of disturbance.
So he needed to find a place with no one around.
Since Jiang Chen was unfamiliar with the map, he could only choose this place.
After looking around and confirming that there was no one nearby, Jiang Chen took out the Sacred Artifacts.
“This one is 5%, this one is 6%...”
As he took out the Sacred Artifacts, Jiang Chen counted silently.
It did not take long before he had gathered a full 100%.
Rubbing his hands together,
“This should do it.”
“I wonder what kind of good stuff will come out.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen slowly moved the mouse and clicked summon.
In the next moment, a layer of black light attached itself to the surface of those Sacred Artifacts, and then they visibly melted into black liquid.
Immediately afterward, the liquid, filled with an evil aura, began to outline a profound and mysterious magic array.
At the same time, an even deeper aura spread out from the magic array.
Almost at the exact same moment, those nearby whose strength had reached a certain level sensed something, and their gazes all turned toward Vivian’s direction.
.....
“So what exactly are you doing, Lord God?!”
She broke down, truly broke down!
What had Vivian just seen?
Lord God had actually started an evil summoning ritual in broad daylight, in full public view.
This is bad, seriously bad!
Lord God, could you at least hide it a little, damn it!
Clearly, Vivian had misunderstood something.
What was happening before her made Vivian think that Lord God was preparing to summon some evil thing to do bad things.
But the problem was, Lord God’s actions were far too brazen!
You may be a god, sure, but there are so many churches of righteous gods here. If you do something like this here, are you really not afraid of getting jumped by the other gods?
And Vivian really wanted to say one thing—if Lord God wanted to court death, could he please not drag her along with him?!
Yet just as Vivian felt that she was about to be treated as a heretic....
Several black-robed figures appeared behind her at some unknown time.
“Miss Vivian, our master invites you to come with us.”
“We hope you will cooperate properly. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that we won’t do something excessive.”
Whose subordinates are you people, to be this brave?
Hearing the voices from behind, Vivian was a little speechless.
No, seriously, you few—did you not see what Lord God was doing?
She felt that what they should be worrying about right now was how to escape with their lives after seeing what was happening here.
But instead, they were actually making threats.
Vivian’s evaluation of this was that they were truly brave.
Sure enough, hearing their voices, the Evil God turned around.
“Who sent you?” The cold voice came from the girl’s mouth, without the slightest trace of emotion.
“You are not worthy of knowing my lord’s identity!”
The black-robed man at the front looked proud as he stepped forward. “Right now, all you need to do is obey orders and come back with us obediently.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Just as the black-robed man was about to continue speaking, he seemed to notice something.
“Wait! What are you doing?!”
Clearly, he had also noticed the magic array behind Vivian.
At this point, it was impossible not to notice it.
Because around the entire magic array, the dark aura had nearly condensed into substance.
Immediately afterward, a humanoid outline formed from dark aura walked out of the magic array.
“Vivian Violet!” A venomous voice came from the figure’s mouth, and the figure itself looked extremely horrifying.
No, seriously, did I dig up your ancestral grave or something? What kind of grudge is this?
Vivian could also hear the malice in that voice, and the fact that it could call her by name so directly made it obvious that it had come for her.
So, Lord God, what exactly did you summon?
At this moment, Vivian more or less figured it out—Lord God did not seem to be summoning one of his own subordinates.
......
The newcomer was naturally Fiona, the Deep Sea Witch, who had already formed a grudge against Vivian.
For Fiona, Vivian’s stunt last night had been no different from mocking her right to her face.
That naturally made Fiona harbor deep resentment toward Vivian.
After all, being taunted to her face by a little worm was something Fiona could not tolerate, so she had been thinking of ways to get revenge.
Just as she was still racking her brains over it, well, what a result.
That familiar aura had come again.
And this time it was even worse than before.
It was actually a summoning ritual.
That made Fiona instantly furious. Not only had the other party mocked her right to her face, they actually dared to summon her over too.
This was already naked provocation, complete disregard for her, the Deep Sea Witch.
How could Fiona possibly endure that?
Although her true body could not descend, this type of summoning ritual could allow part of her consciousness projection to descend.
To be safe, she had even used an extremely precious magic item as a vessel, all so that her projection could exert the greatest possible strength.
“So, have you decided how you want to die, Vivian?”
