Chapter 282 Black Mass in Progress
"Chud Osmar has offered thirteen bodies as sacrifices."
This was the first sentence Clayton said after he hurried back.
"We are going to hold a black mass." This was the first sentence Donna said after seeing him.
The two sentences were said at the same time, and Clayton didn't know which person's news was worse. However, the wizards quickly explained to him the reason for this matter, saying that this decision was not just made out of their dark interests, it had theoretical depth.
The black mass can break the immortal power in Quoke and find the source of this power, which may lead to the magic circle that Osmar is setting up.
And the only flaw can also be made up.
"Clayton, I remember you said that Clara's mission has not been completed yet."
Donna looked at Clayton with sparkling eyes, and the latter nodded reluctantly.
Joe Mani is still alive, so Clara is still suffering from the pain of not being able to satisfy her appetite. That is the punishment that the Holy Grail contract has set for her, and this pain comes from Baal, the Lord of Power. It takes a very high level of magic to create such a contract. It was the Spider Priest who personally planted the original demon into Clara's body.
Donna asked Clayton to sit down. She walked around restlessly in front of him, waving her hands and then describing her plan:
"The demon envoy summoned by the Black Mass carries his own mission, and this mission is also directly given by Baal. Its existence is very similar to the demon in Clara's body. I can first force Mr. Louis to link Clara's spirit together and let her be fixed in the soul layer where the demon grows. In this way, the demons born in the host because of the Black Mass ceremony cannot grow out, and the power and will of the Lord of Power will only be instilled into Clara's body."
The demon carrying the will of the demon lord is of course dangerous, but if it merges with Clara, who has a mind like a child, then those dangerous parts will not work.
The wizards have prepared everything, they just need a nod from Clayton.
However, the werewolf looked at Donna's red face due to excitement and couldn't make a decision immediately.
He didn't know much about demons, and he was not sure whether this could really eliminate the consequences of the priesthood.
He had only heard of these words, such as Lord of Power, Soul Interlayer, and Demon Envoy, and he couldn't understand their full meaning. Although Donna was so confident that she could accomplish this feat, it didn't necessarily mean that she really had the ability to complete the plan. He had also experienced the arrogance of this child before and didn't dare to trust her completely.
But Osmar had already gathered thirteen sacrifices for his unknown ritual, and they had to hurry up to stop him.
Just as Clayton was hesitating, the door on the first floor suddenly opened, and Clara walked in shaking Quoke's body. Everyone looked at her, wanting to know how things were handled.
"He's not dead." Clayton said suddenly.
Clara hummed in frustration.
If Osmar was dead, she wouldn't have to continue dragging Quoke's body.
"Where's Barbara?"
"Barbara said goodbye."
Clayton glanced at Pero, but the latter was also stunned.
"What did she stay for?"
"Barbara doesn't want you to know." Clara said.
Clayton Bello rubbed his face with his hands, he was very annoyed.
This seems to be a trivial matter, but they are in an extraordinary moment. If Clayton Bello is compared to a general, then Barbara is an army under his command. The army can fail in the mission, but it cannot be out of control. And it is a great shame for any commander to be unable to assemble his own troops.
And Barbara has always been a well-behaved guy. This strange change may be affected by something.
Osmar's ability is still unknown to them.
Pero proposed to go out and find his wife before the lieutenant made an unhappy decision.
This is not because he obeyed Clayton's orders unconditionally, but he was also worried about his wife staying outside alone. The head that was cut off and could still talk made him have a deeper understanding of the dangers of the outside world.
But Clayton refused him.
Pero was no more useful than Clara, and it was clear that flying birds could find targets on the ground more easily than humans.
"Donna, let your little friend go find someone," Clayton ordered.
Donna nodded, she stood up and opened the window, whistled at the big tree outside, and several birds flew down from it to wait for her orders.
When she came back from the window, Clayton had already made a decision.
"Pack up your things and go to the church."
If Barbara was still chasing Osmar, they'd better kill Quoke first during this time when no one was disturbing them, and remove his mind control ability, perhaps this could interrupt the unknown ritual.
And since Osmar had already escaped, he might guess that Quoke's head was with them.
If he turned around and falsely accused the hunters of performing an immortal witchcraft on Quoke, they would not be able to explain it even if they had a hundred mouths.
In order to reach the destination earlier, everyone had to temporarily abandon Mary Etta, and everyone secretly moved in the dark streets and alleys. This time they were to preside over a real Black Mass, and if they were caught during the ceremony, the consequences would not be as easy as Louis had experienced last time.
Donna plans to set the entire church on fire, and the thick smoke will attract others to come and check it out. They will not have much time to actually hold the ceremony - Clayton is already mentally prepared to turn against the locals.
Donna may not yet know the cost of such exposure, and Clayton doesn't intend to tell her.
Fear can make people perform poorly.
The sun was just right that day, and people lost their vigilance after the monsters and rebels were defeated. Many people also knew what happened to Louis. They no longer came to the church to seek comfort. Therefore, the door of the church was very deserted. The werewolf led the Teams can even walk in through the front entrance without being spotted by passers-by.
Of course, they are not that arrogant yet.
Detours and backdoors are the right choices for performing black magic.
They stopped in a cemetery sandwiched between two medicinal gardens and rested among the tombstones.
The wizards were all injured for different reasons, but they were in high spirits, and their relationship seemed to have never been so close. They sat down on the tombstone to discuss the specific details of the ceremony without any scruples, while everyone else was worried about the ceremony they were about to hold. This blasphemy worried me.
"I would like to ask you two for a favor." The priest pulled Perot and Selani aside.
"There are some very important books in the library and I want to get them out before the church is set on fire."
Perot nodded in agreement, while Selanie felt a little sad in her fear.
"Mr. Lewis, do we have to do this?"
This church is almost the most precious thing in Gevo. No one knows what the consequences will be if it is burned, but they at least know that they will definitely not be able to go to heaven in the future.
In such a terrible world, the only hope for people like her is the world after death, and now this hope is about to be destroyed for them.
Selanne regretted following Clayton's advice, just because she moved here and now had to get involved in this kind of thing.
Now these people don't want to see her. Although she is used to being isolated, her experience among civilians and among criminals is still different. No one here is willing to tell her the truth, and she doesn't know what's going on. , even Priest Louis is actually not that trustworthy, because he did not refuse other people's requests and agreed to celebrate the Black Mass for them.
Only the Fallen Priesthood can celebrate the Black Mass.
"It has to be this way."
The priest answered her in the affirmative, and then he looked at the pagans and inhuman things, pointed at them without any hesitation and asked Selanne: "Do you want to reject them?"
Clayton turned his head and pretended he couldn't hear their conversation.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Selanne glance at him quickly, and then nodded nervously.
The priest then asked: "Then do you dare to refuse them?"
Selanne shook her head.
"Then what you lack is only courage, not kindness. Heavenly Father will not blame you. It is me and others who preside over the Black Mass ceremony. You just have to do it."
These words made the prostitute feel better, and she asked puzzledly: "Then why did you agree to them?"
"Selanie, since you have seen that head, you should know that there are actually many evils in this world that are beyond mortal knowledge. Faith can only protect our souls, but not our bodies. If we want our worldly If life can continue in the face of this threat, then sometimes we must do something extraordinary. This Black Mass will not hurt anyone. The only thing we need to abandon is this lifeless church. This is it. That’s why I finally agreed to this plan.”
The priesthood used a complete set of logic to convince Selanie to cooperate.
Clayton stood aside and frowned slightly. The priest's cooperative attitude made him somewhat suspicious of its intentions, but he didn't say anything. These people with faith have some weird persistence. He doesn't need to understand, as long as he knows that this kind of behavior is good for him.
Now that the dangerous smell on the priest has dissipated, Clayton has a little more trust in him.
He turned around and found that his niece was taking off the bandage on her left hand, revealing the blessing seal given to her by the principal of Bracola. Those dark snake-like patterns were coiled around her wrist, and even detached from the body. , crawling in the air, linked to Clara's head like a chain, surging from time to time, as if there were invisible substances passing each other through them.
Very wonderful witchcraft.
Braccola's status in Creighton's mind was slightly elevated.
"That old unicorn is really not simple." Julius's voice suddenly sounded: "But if I were you, I wouldn't want to meet it, I would stay away from it."
Seeing Clayton turn his attention to himself, the wizard put down the incense burner and grinned: "The whole body of the unicorn can break the curse, just like silver. Its physiological structure is simply designed to kill you. Born from such a being, and this creature is aggressive by nature, and legend."
"Don't go too far." Clayton interrupted: "How do you plan to start this ceremony."
"We have already designed it, with position and timing as the main core. There are two sacrifices in the Black Mass. The first is to sacrifice to the Heavenly Father, and the second is to sacrifice to the Lord of Power."
