Chapter 235

Magic rituals focused on the axle, only by completing the axle ritual with certain entities with unique powers would one be able to borrow their power.

Most of the targets of these magic rituals were the remnant Evil Gods of the elves, and a small number of them were the Evil Gods of the outer realm. Only some special magic rituals would set the target of the same orbit to a special region of this world.

For example, the Unrepenting Abyss, the home of non-believers.

It was said that vengeful souls would regret not believing in God.

There were quite a few requirements to use the axle ritual of the Unrepenting Abyss. The first requirement was to be a non-believer.

After that, the most important casting material was the bones of non-believers.

Normal residents would have to report their deaths to the Sun Shadow church, unable to dispose of their corpses on their own. Their corpses would also have to be buried in the church's graveyard.

Those who died in other places would also have their own corpse guards to deal with them.

For this reason, it was quite difficult to obtain a real corpse, especially a corpse of a non-believer, so one could only try their luck in the sewers.

Using the bones of non-believers, one could form a connection with the dead souls in the Unrepenting Abyss and summon them out. However, the user would be cursed by the non-believer within, unable to rest in peace for the rest of their lives, eventually sinking into the Unrepenting Abyss as well.

Negri was very interested in the Unrepenting Abyss, so he investigated its origins and legends.

There were legends of the Unrepenting Abyss everywhere, but at the very beginning, it wasn't the grave of the non-believer, but the elven Heroic Spirit Burial Ground.

There would always be casualties in wars or invasions of other worlds, and some of the brave elven warriors would be buried in the Heroic Spirit Burial Ground.

When the seven Righteous Gods invaded the Moon Tree world, the remains of those slumbering in the Heroic Spirit Burial Ground were also awakened, but were still suppressed and cursed by the seven Righteous Gods. All those who did not believe in them would be trapped within.

After the non-believer died, their [Origin] would go to where it should go, while their remnant souls would be sucked into the Unrepenting Abyss and turned into dead souls. The remains of the elven warriors who managed to stand up would continue to fight without stopping, hunting down dead souls and everything in sight.

That place had accumulated too much resentment and madness, so it gradually became special. It was rumored that that place was shrouded in a fog formed by remorse all year round, and there was also darkness formed by despair. Everyone would lose their way in remorse and despair.

Through the Hermit Order's power, Negri had collected quite a bit of the bones of non-believers and created the Shade Attendants.

Their bodies were created from Negri's germs mixed with the bones of non-believers, while their souls were formed from the remnants of the Unrepenting Abyss.

In the Unrepenting Abyss, skeletons fought with skeletons, dead souls fought with dead souls, and the skeletons fought with the dead souls. The dead souls devoured each other. They were the craziest warriors.

At the same time, due to the environment of the Unrepenting Abyss, their souls were mixed with the fog of regret and the darkness of despair. They could hide in the dark and were difficult to detect.

When normal people used related magic to summon dead souls from the Unrepenting Abyss, because of the same path, they would also be corroded by regret and despair, as well as the frenzied battle emotions that never stopped. This was the curse of non-believers.

However, as Kathlyn had observed, Negri's soul was like black mud. Those frenzied emotions couldn't corrupt Negri at all. Instead, Negri had used this to form a contract with some of the dead souls.

Negri used magic to help them escape from the Unrepenting Abyss, while they became Shade Attendants and worked for Negri.

The dead souls themselves were very unique. Aside from a few abilities that could kill them, most attacks could only send them back to the Unrepenting Abyss, which made them almost immortal.

Coupled with Negri's germ body, they could form a considerable amount of combat power. Although they couldn't be considered top-tier, they were definitely difficult to deal with.

A large number of Shade Attendants shrouded in black smoke abruptly appeared on the battlefield, then fearlessly charged towards the defensive line. Most of their deaths were simply returning to the Unrepenting Abyss. Even if they could be killed, it would still be a form of release for them.

Most of the people behind Negri stayed behind. The third group of assault troops, under Kathlyn's command, fiercely attacked the third line of defense. Although there were knights and priests from other areas joining the defense, this line of defense was still slowly being broken.

"It seems that the reformists are smarter and more ambitious than I thought." Negri took advantage of the opportunity and swung his arm again. The bone blade clashed against the knight's sword, causing the bone blade to vibrate and give off a 'wu wu' sound.

The opposing Red Sun Knight's pupils dilated. As he heard the 'wu wu' sound, he appeared a bit confused, then with a flash of the bone blade, a straight crack appeared on his helmet, from which blood began to flow out.

Negri didn't pay any attention to the fallen corpse and swiftly broke through the defensive line. At this point, the majority of the Sun Shadow church's forces had been pinned down, making Negri's advance almost unstoppable.

The power of 'Impurity' and 'Error' flowed through his body, causing the Divine Technique defensive domain created by the Sun Shadow church to crumble bit by bit. At the same time, most of the priests were focused on taking care of the knights who were still fighting.

Negri leapt forward, the bone blade in his hand shattered into countless fragments that shot towards the group of priests. Like a chain reaction, the entire defensive line collapsed. A large number of Shade Attendants and members of the Hermit Order erupted at the same time, especially Kathlyn, who threw all sorts of magical tools at them like they were free of charge.

Negri walked towards a cave entrance, while the people of the Sun Shadow church were completely unable to free themselves and could only watch as Negri entered the interior of the church. A sense of fear and humiliation manifested in their hearts.

In the past, they had always lived within the church, the most powerful entity in the entire region, the other evil cults were nothing more than rats in the sewers.

Apart from the churches of other Righteous Gods, they were the top and noblest people in this world. But this time, their faces had been slapped swollen. An organization that had appeared out of nowhere had broken through three of their lines of defense, shattering all of their pride.

"Prepare to retreat, the battle is a success" The people of the Hermit Order were filled with excitement, the sense of accomplishment from successfully challenging the authority of the church had greatly satisfied them. However, they didn't let their victory get to their heads.

The main reason for their success this time was due to them taking advantage of a loophole, which was partially due to luck. If they didn't retreat now, when the behemoth that was the church fully mobilized and gathered all of its forces, the only thing that would await them would be complete annihilation.

Meanwhile, while the siege was on the verge of success, another siege was also taking place on the other side, which had also become dangerous. However, this time, the defensive side was Birosius, while the offensive side was the Sun Shadow church.
