Chapter 870 372: In the Shadows
Just as the cultists were slowly discussing.
Karut suddenly trembled all over, lines of blood streaks covered his entire body.
Seeing this scene, all the cultists surrounding him stepped back instantly, leaving a large space.
At this moment, beside the bonfire, except for Karut, there was only another figure shrouded in a black robe standing still.
The others were all vigilantly observing from the periphery.
As the bloodstains spread, a pair of great and sharp horns grew from Karut's head.
A long, bloody tongue licked its own cheek, and a bloody and sulfury scent spread out.
Staring with a pair of orange-yellow vertical pupils, the eye of the demon looked at everyone present.
Everyone took a slight step back.
The pressure from those eyes left people a bit terrified.
They could feel that the being suddenly possessing Karut was a powerful existence.
It was very likely the Evil God Karut worshipped.
Now it seemed, it was no evil god. Clearly, it was an immensely powerful demon.
After a glance around, the demon, using Karut's body, looked at the shadowy figure in the black robe remaining across from him.
"Nightmare!"
A mass of black smoke gathered on the black-robed figure, wrapping around him, forming a bizarre armor.
"So it's you, you damned demon. You're still not dead? Truly lucky.
You damned half-breed mutt."
Faced with Nightmare's insults, the demon was not angry at all.
It didn't behave like the irritable and quick-tempered demons from the Abyss. Instead, it seemed like a devil from Hell.
"Nightmare, I know you're still angry over past events, but you can't blame me, can you? You can only blame yourself for being an idiot."
"What! You damned..." This statement clearly enraged Nightmare.
"Enough, I have serious business to discuss with you. I hope you won't act as foolishly as before." The orange-yellow demon's pupils fixed on Nightmare.
Nightmare continued to curse a few more times before calming down.
"Speak. You must have thought of some disgusting scheme to stop that wretch's resurrection ritual, right?"
"Haha, consider yourself clever."
"Isn't your Nightmare Realm just the opposite of where we are now? I need you to saturate reality through the link I provide at a specific time.
Inverting reality, dragging the area surrounding me into your Nightmare Realm."
"Dragging into the Dream Realm, hahaha, quite a scheme indeed. You want to use my Nightmare Realm to link a stronger Abyssal Teleportation Gate?" The pitch-black eyes on the armor stared at the demon and asked.
The demon nodded, not hiding its plot.
"Of course, simple and direct, isn't it?"
"Alright, now get lost."
Hearing this, the demon chuckled twice, then concealed its form, and the changes on Karut began to fade back to his original form.
At the same time, the nightmare armor on the black-robed figure also dissipated.
An Evil God, a demon, thus reached some kind of dreadful agreement.
Seeing both sides restored to normal, the figures surrounding them regrouped and gathered around again.
Karut twisted his neck, looking at everyone.
"Now, are you willing to join this plan?"
"Alright."
"I'll join."
"..."
It seemed that the exchange between those two powerful and evil beings just now gave them confidence. Most of these cultists joined this plan targeting the Flower Fairy.
This was the only chance left before the Flower Fairy's resurrection.
The reason they came here was nothing more than their unwillingness to give up.
...
Sound of Dawn soon sailed to the closest distance to the Land of Fragrance. Alka patted the Sound of Dawn, and after bidding farewell, they boarded the Swallow Ship heading towards the Land of Fragrance.
And Sound of Dawn also sank to the sea bottom under the sunlight, waiting for Alka and the others to return.
Alka and the others, riding the Swallow Ship, spent only a few days before they were about to reach beneath the Land of Fragrance.
Sitting on the deck, Pororo said curiously, "On this journey, we didn't encounter a single demon, it seems most of the demons around here have been cleared up."
Hearing this, Jason beside him said, "Didn't you shut off those energy supply channels at the Life and Death Boundary before? Without more teleportation gates bringing in more demons, surely the remaining demons won't take long to be cleared out."
Besides, without the pressure from the front lines, both the Church and the Flower Child people have more power to clean up the chaos at the rear.
Soon their ship encountered knights patrolling around.
These knights greeted Alka and the others, did a slight check, then let them go, chatting for a while.
"Is it my illusion, or does it feel like the number of patrols has increased?" Chadite asked in confusion, looking at the approaching Land of Fragrance.
"It's not an illusion, there are indeed more, and there are also many people from the Holy Mother Church in the patrol teams." Alka said beside him.
They naturally did not know the specific reasons.
However, the group didn't continue towards the distant Land of Fragrance, but instead returned to their camp outside the Land of Fragrance.
After a simple clean-up, the group went in to rest.
Alka and Chadite went towards the Land of Fragrance to prepare to understand the current situation.
