Chapter 1481 427: Sponsorship from the Demon King
Thomas' caravan began to move.
Along with them, the refugees following Carian started to move as well. They circled the caravan's wagons and then knelt to pray outside the circle, waiting for a miracle to occur.
The soldiers wearing green turbans stood at a distance watching with eyes filled with suspicion, unease, or expectation.
They hadn't even realized that just ten minutes ago, they were bandits committing crimes under the guise of justice. Now, they had become the "pilgrims'" guards, fulfilling a holy duty they had never envisioned for themselves.
Meanwhile, inside a carriage, Luo Yan withdrew his magic wand, dispelling the light gathered at the tip.
What he had just cast wasn't a Platinum Level spell, but a Diamond Level AOE spell he recently mastered — "Radiant Brilliance."
Its primary function was to summon a massive orb of light and hurl it fiercely at the enemy.
Unlike the fire element AOE spell "Heaven-Burning Flame" with its wide range, or the earth element AOE spell "Meteor Fall" which has concentrated output, the light attribute AOE spells usually come with the ability to recognize friend from foe, enhancing output against undead units while preventing casualties on one's own side.
Yet, considering most players in the Great Graveyard are undead, this magic would be useless to Lord Demon King.
Luo Yan recorded the effects of the casting in his notebook and captured it with a recording crystal, planning to upload it later as a 'big feature' on the "Catastrophe OL" official website.
Taufun lying on Sarah's lap yawned, smacked his lips, stretched lazily, and said,
"That guy is Chaos' Apostle, right? Why go to all this trouble, why not just kill them all?"
Luo Yan smiled slightly.
"It's just an experiment."
"An experiment?"
Seeing Taufu's puzzled expression, Luo Yan nodded gently.
"The corrosion of the Eternal Hunger Claw is unique, not corroding one person, but everyone. I want to see if I can get these lost boys to turn back."
The "Iron Bull" Brennan was far weaker than Arist, having only just broken through the Gold Level, reaching the threshold of Platinum Level.
Eliminating him wasn't difficult, including those soldiers behind him with pallid faces. However, resolving the chaos corruption of the Twilight Province wasn't that easy.
According to records in the Padric family library, famine is just one inducement born from Urgos' corrosion of the Eternal Hunger Claw, its root causes lie in boundless desire.
Killing Chaos' Apostle would not make the chaos corrosion disappear, at most it would transfer from one person to another.
Actually, it's not just chaos; all faiths are like this, which is one of the reasons why Hell and the Imperial forces can never conquer each other.
Whenever one side's battle lines penetrate the other's heartland, what awaits them is never an enduring victory, but endless trouble.
When the prophecy of doom comes true, heroes chosen by the divine will spring up like mushrooms after the rain, each one bearing an incredible legend.
They are the Chosen of the gods and the chosen ones by the people.
Seeing Luo Yan brimming with confidence, Taufu teased.
"And then make them your followers?"
"Why not?"
Facing Taufu's teasing, Luo Yan's smile didn't change, candidly admitting his ambition.
"After all, they themselves don't know where they are heading, just like the Sister they follow. Rather than becoming fertilizer buried in the ground under chaos' temptation, why not follow me?"
"At least my goal is clear, I only want their faith."
...
The preparation for the ritual was complete, all was done as Mr. Colin instructed.
Thousands of followers knelt around the convoy, offering solemn and devout prayers to their divine within.
Infected by that atmosphere, some soldiers with green turbans instinctively crossed their chests, silently reciting "Saint Sis above," temporarily embracing the Holy Light and repenting.
No offense intended—
We just thought you were already dead, never expected your grace to still envelop this land.
Standing in an open space surrounded by wagons, Carian watched Mr. Colin approaching and nodded respectfully.
"Sir... according to your instructions, we have completed the ritual preparation. What else do you need me to do?"
She has apparently already regarded this Mr. Colin as the embodiment of Saint Sis, just as Thomas considers her the 'Holy Daughter' chosen by the divine.
"You don't need to do anything, just watch."
As he spoke, Luo Yan stepped to the center of the open space formed by the wagons, holding a slender magic wand in his hand.
As he raised his hand slightly, the hard earth and stones beneath his feet seemed imbued with life, tracing indented tracks under the guidance of his wand.
They weaved like silver snakes moving through the grass, winding and twisting, connected head to tail, intersecting into layers of runes and geometric shapes, finally imprinted onto the ground alongside a sudden burst of green light!
Done!
Seeing the completed magic array, a hint of a smile appeared on Luo Yan's face. He then took a demon crystal from his bosom and placed it at the center of the teleportation array.
At the moment this demon crystal was placed, the surrounding air contracted as if it had been boiled.
Luo Yan took a step back, raised his index finger slightly, and a scroll and a feather pen appeared out of thin air, writing a few lines in the air before folding themselves into an envelope, which landed at the center of the teleportation array.
