Chapter 347: Evil God's Vessel
It was still early morning, but Duling City was directly enveloped by a thick layer of darkness, making it impossible to see anything.
“Damn it, it’s dark sun!”
Looking at the completely vanished sun in the sky, Harry’s eyes were instantly filled with terror.
“Captain, Nina is dying!”
Hearing Fleece’s words from the side, Harry forced himself to calm down.
“What happened to Nina?”
“She was bitten by a bat just now and has been running a high fever.”
“Let me see.”
Saying that, Harry tore open the clothes on Nina’s shoulder and looked at the festering, pus-filled wound.
“She must have been poisoned by a Vampire Bat’s blood, which led to a plague—”
“Captain, look at her neck!”
Although Nina had been on missions outside for years, she still had a small amount of elven blood, so her skin remained very fair.
At this moment, on the back of Nina's fair neck, a layer of grayish-black fuzz, like bat fur, rapidly grew out, and in a short while, the fuzz had already extended from the back of her neck to her chest.
“This is dark sun contamination! Quickly, get the Purification potion!”
Upon hearing this, Fleece immediately took out two test tubes containing white-gold liquid from his In arms and handed them to Harry.
Harry, who had received the Purification potion, immediately poured one of the liquids onto the sore on Nina’s shoulder,
while the other was carefully poured into Nina’s mouth.
“Phew, she’s saved.”
Looking at the grayish-black fuzz gradually receding from Nina's body, Fleece couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
However, looking at the blush on Nina’s face caused by the high fever, Fleece still frowned slightly with concern.
“The Purification potion is only useful for contamination; to cure her plague, a Wizard’s treatment is still needed.”
Hearing Harry’s words, Fleece nodded heavily, then took the unconscious Nina from Harry’s hands, took out the medical kit found in the tavern room, and carefully bandaged the wound for his half-sister.
At the same time, above Duling City.
Except for the injured Anthony-Black Sparrow and Professor Uta, who remained at White Coral Academy, Grace-Eva, Mary-Margaret, Lily-Meg—almost all the Wizards of White Coral Academy had arrived in Duling City, standing in mid-air.
Not only White Coral Academy, but also Losia-Heigo from Black Bone Forest, White Bone Sage Gu Shan-Laifu,
and the twin Wizards of Mist Tower, Elder White Crow and Elder Black Crow, seven Formal Wizards, were gathered in Duling City at this moment, jointly casting a seal to prevent the spread of the contamination power.
“These pests from the Dark Sun Church, they actually went to such lengths to destroy Duling!”
Although she was cursing fiercely, Losia-Heigo’s hands did not stop for a moment, continuously casting the Blood Law, condensing chains of water to seal the constantly cracking shadow fissures around them.
“Bang bang bang bang—”
Unlike Losia-Heigo, who was constantly bickering, Grace-Eva was like a phantom moving through the city, using her Blood Law’s natural advantage against Vampire Bats to detonate blood and massively harvest the lives of the Vampire Bat swarm.
“Elder Black Crow, have you two still not found that human pregnant woman?”
After Losia-Heigo finally sealed off a shadow fissure, she impatiently asked Elder Black Crow, who was wearing a black cloak and a black crow mask, in a loud voice.
“The swarm tells me she is not here at the moment.”
Elder Black Crow, who was controlling the swarm to conduct a carpet search for Ilianna’s whereabouts, still hadn’t found any clues about Ilianna after searching for a long time.
“What about underground?”
“Not underground either.”
This time, it was Elder White Crow, who was standing next to Elder Black Crow, who responded to Losia-Heigo.
“The God Descent Ritual of the Dark Sun Church began its planning a year ago. And the aura of that human pregnant woman has long been concealed by the dark sun, so it’s impossible for us to find her so easily.”
The speaker was Gu Shan-Laifu, who was casting the sealing barrier in conjunction with several other Formal Wizards. And this was the most intuitive feeling in the heart of every Wizard present.
“The success of the God Descent Ritual, in addition to requiring a suitable vessel, also requires the souls of a large number of living beings for sacrifice. Now that we have moved everyone to the academy, the God Descent Ritual cannot succeed—”
“What if only a Dark Sun Apostle descends? An Apostle doesn’t need that many deaths.”
Regarding Gu Shan-Laifu's words, Losia-Heigo still habitually retorted.
The descent of an evil god indeed requires a large number of living souls as ritual nourishment to succeed. However, if an evil god's Apostle descends, only a suitable vessel and a small amount of flesh and blood souls are needed.
Just like a year ago, when the Dark Sun Apostle first descended upon the Turin Wizard Gathering Place, it was through the blood sacrifice of the flesh and souls of several unfortunate Wizard Apprentices from Black Bone Forest, using one of the Black Wizard Apprentices as a vessel to complete the God Descent Ritual.
However, because the ritual was discovered by White Bone Sage Gu Shan-Laifu during its execution, he forcibly disrupted it.
Even though the Dark Sun Apostle ultimately descended successfully, its strength was less than one-tenth of its original.
It was precisely because of this that, with the cooperation of Anthony-Black Sparrow and Losia-Heigo, the cleansing of the Dark Sun Apostle was completed relatively easily.
The Wizards, who thought of this possibility, exchanged glances, and then their gazes locked onto the remaining few foreign mercenary groups in Duling City. “Roar—accompanied by a roar that pierced the sky, a vast power of contamination, like magma hidden beneath a volcano, erupted from within a tavern.
“It appeared!”
Grace-Eva, who was closest to the target location, almost instantly moved to the sky above the tavern where the anomaly occurred after hearing the roar.
But when Grace-Eva saw the elk pattern on the tavern door, her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.
“It’s that tavern from last night—could it be that the human pregnant woman Jia Na mentioned has been hiding in this tavern all along?”
Elk Tavern was where Jia Na had taken Grace-Eva to investigate clues yesterday.
However, from yesterday's investigation results, there were no other living things in this tavern except for a corpse whose soul had already been absorbed.
“Help, Wizard!”
Before Grace-Eva could think clearly, a heart-wrenching cry for help came from inside the tavern.
Seeing this, Grace-Eva immediately used the Blood Law’s blood explosion ability to clear away all the bats around the Elk Tavern.
Then, she, along with the other Wizards who had already arrived, flew into the tavern.
“Grace, is that the human pregnant woman you mentioned?”
