Chapter 283 Blood Madness
In a standard black mass, the white gods will inevitably appear.
Ordinary cultists would vigorously humiliate the Father Carola during the Black Mass, dealing with those sacred symbols in the most filthy way.
Sprinkle blood on the holy scriptures to obscure the text; or make a statue of wax for the faceless god and step on the soles of your feet; or use sacrificial ritual vessels to kill people; push innocent people into the fire made of the holy scriptures.
The methods of blasphemy vary, but the theme remains the same.
Let the untouchable purity be defiled, let faith return to unbelief, let the light be covered by shadow.
Donna didn't know the origin of the Black Mass, but she was familiar with the legend of the Demon Lords. They were the masters of "hell" and the kings of the invisible ones. Ordinary people could be alienated just by hearing their voices, but only if they heard their voices. Only special creatures can directly hear their eternal whispers in the human world.
The devil eats emotions and can also eat memories.
The dark wizards harnessed the demons with low intelligence, and knelt down and prayed to those truly terrifying beings, using their mortal minds to exchange them for knowledge that was useless to the invisible ones.
For this reason, witchcraft is also called magic - mortals create witchcraft, demons collect witchcraft, and in turn teach it to other talented mortals.
For the invisible ones, mortal knowledge is not worth mentioning at all. They only need the emotions derived from life itself to further grow themselves, and all changes and movements of entities are unnecessary.
So, how can the fallen priesthood please the gods they once believed in by insulting them?
She asked Julius, but his school did not do much research on this. Only a master who was one step away from the immortal in Strass accidentally revealed a few words: "The wizard who performs the Black Mass will They were unable to drink the divine wine because they gave part of their souls to the Demon Lord, causing them to be permanently disabled.”
Divine wine is the alchemical name for mercury.
Gold, silver, and mercury are the three highest levels of wizard power. Only those who reach the upper three levels can extend their life span forever.
The Black Mass cuts off the right path, so most of the dark wizards who are willing to perform this ritual are those who are seeking fame and wealth. They have no intention of continuing to improve their strength and only want to enjoy the glory and wealth in the rest of their lives. The theory that the Black Mass is omnipotent, praised by these incompetent people, is naturally not credible, but it should be more than enough to stop Kuok's immortal body.
Although she failed to understand her initial doubts, Donna still further understood the nature of the Black Mass based on the information Julius subsequently provided.
Any witchcraft such as ritual or magic circle must have four key points - namely, defining the paradigm, establishing links, accumulating energy, and output or transformation of energy. Donna has redesigned the ritual steps enough to work according to these points, and she has used Clara's presence to create a "nested structure" to avoid the consequences of even the most dangerous aspects of the Black Mass.
Kuok will definitely die.
But at this moment, she is still thinking about another thing in her heart - where is the magic circle arranged by Chud Osmar?
Osmar once used the magic circle left by the ancients to perform the God Reaper Ceremony, extracting the power from the body of the leatherworker, and also took away the blood essence from Lazarus, who had just been transformed into a vampire, causing Barbara to He had to sacrifice his own strength to give blood for a second time.
After Osmar is dealt with, Donna is going to dismantle the magic circle to prevent anyone from using it in the future.
The ancient Dinon people used this magic circle to perform the Elisio ceremony and take away the life force of hundreds of people, but this does not mean that this magic circle can only be used to transform the God Reaver. Nesting magic circles can serve a variety of purposes, just as she used the nesting structure Clara created to be immune to the side effects of the Black Mass.
Treasure, thinking about the Dinon people made her think of this word again.
Schmidt has been chasing the treasure for many years and done a lot of research, but he didn't expect that all his work was in vain.
The place he thought was a treasure actually contained hundreds of victims from thousands of years ago. His efforts only allowed the Salvation Army to torture him half to death.
Donna recalled her excitement when she heard the word "treasure" and suddenly felt that she was a little ridiculous too.
"can we start?"
Clayton's question brought her back to reality.
The girl jumped down from the tombstone: "Mr. Lewis, is there anything else you want to take?"
"That's almost it," the priest answered her.
Due to the teachings of her mother Tritis, setting fire to a church was still very stressful for Donna. She was taking a deep breath when she suddenly saw Clayton turning his head and looking at an empty place with a straight face. .
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"There were gunshots."
Everyone in the cemetery fell silent. Sure enough, they heard some unusual sounds coming from a distance in the silence.
Not just one gunshot, but many gunshots and shouts whose content was unclear.
Perot thought of something and suddenly grabbed the shotgun nervously and ran out to see the situation, but then Clayton stretched out his hand and caught him back. The old man no longer obeyed their wishes, and he tried his best to break free from Clayton's grasp.
But he is only a human being.
The shapeshifter was just a very strong human during the day, but Perrault was far from strong. Clayton's arms went from behind his back to his chest, choking him hard, even if he used force until his whole body turned red.
"Knock him out," Clayton ordered Julius.
The wizard made a triangular sign again, and Pero twitched and completely lost the strength to struggle.
Clayton put the body aside and signaled them to start the ceremony quickly.
No matter who started the fight, he drew the attention of the locals to himself and bought them precious time. In this way, others might discover the smoke from the burning church later, giving them more time to evacuate.
They shouldn't waste such an opportunity.
"Come on." Donna reached out to Seranie, who withdrew her attention from Pero's collapsed body, and her slightly frightened eyes made Donna's heart throb.
"Help me again, Seranie." She said earnestly, wrapping Seranie's right hand up and down with her two palms, warm and kind.
Seranie hesitantly followed her and slowly stepped forward. Louis, wearing black clerical clothes, was already waiting for them at the back door of the church with the Holy Book.
Donna turned to look at Julius and reiterated what they had discussed.
"Wait until the sacrifice to the Father is over before lighting the fire. Remember the order."
"I always remember it." Julius answered her.
"Everyone, you don't have to be afraid of the dark." Louis turned his back to the tall church and read the scriptures in the shadow of the building: "The sun that went up the mountain went out, and a new sun will rise when you go down the mountain. Those who were killed by violence and those who killed people with violence, it is not too late to forgive and repent at the last moment."
The black mass began.
"You are crazy!" Osmar yelled.
He ran so fast that his voice seemed to fall behind him.
But it doesn't matter, these words were meant for the people behind him. The female vampire was chasing him relentlessly. She was so persistent and selfless, determined to satisfy her bloodthirsty desires, that she acted recklessly in public.
More than eighty people saw her trying to stab Osmar with a knife.
Two figures flashed one after another on the street.
The town's alarm bells had already rung because of them, and the bells attracted more and more people to the streets.
Barbara disguised herself before losing control of her desire. She now wore a white shirt and black pants, her hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, and a scarf wrapped around her face. No one could recognize her.
She followed the guidance of blood and caught up with Osmar, and was determined to tear him apart, skin him and swallow him into her stomach, and she would do anything to achieve this.
The people in the town thought it was just an ordinary fight at first. Someone tried to separate Barbara and Osmar, but the person who was knocked unconscious by a punch immediately let them know that this guy was not a good person.
They chased her and shot her without hesitation.
The lead bullet slowed down the vampire's speed, so that every time she almost caught Osmar, she would slow down a beat, giving him a chance to escape.
"Why? Why can't you stop?"
After Osmar's question, Barbara asked sincerely behind him: "I can taste the pain in your blood. In this case, why don't you give up your life and become one with me? Give me your flesh and blood, at least I will be happy."
"Damn vampire!"
Osmar roared again.
Even if the lead bullet hits the vampire, it will not cause much damage, not to mention the accuracy of those gunmen is also very worrying.
Unless it is the last moment, Osmar does not want to reveal his identity in front of ordinary people, but the pressure of the vampire forced him to gradually show his physical fitness beyond ordinary people.
He used his hands and feet, climbing and jumping on the walls and buildings like a monkey, trying to get rid of Barbara as much as possible, but Barbara always caught up quickly.
The distance between them was far and near, but never far away.
Amid shouts and alarm bells, two figures passed through the panicked pedestrians and the garbage piled up on the street. In front of them, a window on a house suddenly opened, and a drunken head poked out from inside, along with a standard rifle from the Salvation Army.
"Which one should I shoot?" the new representative of the hunters shouted drunkenly.
The man riding a donkey behind him also shouted in response.
"The one behind!"
Bang!
Barbara's chest suddenly had a bloody hole, and her body tilted and she took a few steps back before she stood firm.
But this was not a fatal injury. After she stood firm, she prepared to chase Osmar again, but a hunting knife hit her back at an inopportune time.
The female vampire turned her head impatiently, pulled the rider off the donkey, and bit his neck hard.
The blood quickly repaired her injuries.
Then she threw the extremely weak body aside and warned those who came to hinder her again:
"Don't bother me anymore, I almost ate him."
The people chasing from behind all stopped. They only saw the man who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman pushed the scarf and put his mouth to the rider's neck, and then the rider lost consciousness.
This horrible scene is unheard of.
All those who tried to stop the dispute finally froze and watched the two chase each other away again.
When they disappeared, a shout rang out from the crowd:
"Go and ask Father Louis!"
Now only the clergy knew how to deal with such a thing.
People immediately divided into many groups and headed in different directions. Some of them went to the church, some went to Father Louis's house, and some went to inform the mayor's son and other respected elders in the town.
Finally, some people still did not give up. They rode on their old donkeys and continued to chase, determined to subdue this strange person and Osmar together.
