Chapter 355 Ancient God Contract: Summoning the Seraph
Smoke billowed, and the sound waves ceased. After the violent explosion, the pale giant hand had vanished, replaced by the Blood Earl Yulan - Blood Red, who had quite a grudge with Anthony-Black Sparrow and Jia Na.
"Wu Taz's sacrifice target is actually you?"
The moment Yulan - Blood Red appeared, Anthony-Black Sparrow also emerged from the Law Domain, transforming from a phantom into a solid entity, flying through the air to face Yulan - Blood Red.
"Thanks to you, that fool Wu Taz was willing to sacrifice his soul fire to me—I was able to be promoted to Blood Marquis, also thanks to you."
Upon seeing Anthony-Black Sparrow again, Yulan - Blood Red no longer had the same embarrassment he had when his clone first descended upon the Primary Material World.
Not only had his strength broken through from Blood Earl to Blood Marquis, comparable to a second-level Wizard, but the personal arrival of his main body also made the oppressive aura around Yulan - Blood Red far surpass that of Anthony-Black Sparrow.
"What exactly is your goal?"
Looking at the arrogant Yulan - Blood Red, a hint of confusion appeared in Anthony-Black Sparrow's calm eyes.
He truly couldn't understand what the Dark Sun Church's elaborate scheme this time was for.
As early as a year ago, Wu Taz-Dark Sun, with the help of an insider in Black Bone Forest Academy, first descended upon the Primary Material World, and was then jointly suppressed and killed by Anthony-Black Sparrow and Losia-Haige.
Later, Yulan - Blood Red feigned an attack on Jia Na, actually luring out Anthony-Black Sparrow, and cooperated with Blood Red Warlock to complete the attack.
Subsequently, he set up the pretense of a God Descent Ritual, trapping most of the Wizards in Turin City, while Wu Taz-Dark Sun took the opportunity to hide his identity, infiltrate White Coral Academy, and secretly spread a plague, completing his divine power recovery by absorbing the Life force of ordinary people.
If Anthony-Black Sparrow hadn't successfully reincarnated and secretly locked onto Wu Taz-Dark Sun's soul aura, tracing him back, Wu Taz-Dark Sun would have truly succeeded in completing the Revival Ritual.
Finally, just as Anthony-Black Sparrow was about to suppress and kill Wu Taz-Dark Sun again, leveraging the Magic Tower's amplification advantage, the latter resolutely sacrificed his soul fire to initiate a summon.
And the object he sacrificed to summon was none other than the Blood Earl Yulan - Blood Red, who had recently been severely injured by Anthony-Black Sparrow, then secretly ambushed by Jia Na, and subsequently powerfully sealed by Grace-Eva.
He truly couldn't figure out what the purpose of Wu Taz-Dark Sun and Yulan - Blood Red's painstaking efforts to descend upon the Primary Material World was.
If it was merely to seek revenge on Anthony-Black Sparrow, then their goal would have been achieved when Blood Red Warlock attacked him with a palm, there would have been no need for such a roundabout approach.
If it was to destroy Turin Wizard Gathering Place, then the God Descent Ritual launched by the Dark Sun Church this time should not have been merely a summoning of Dark Sun Apostles. "My purpose, naturally, is to represent the great Holy Lord and punish you filthy crawling insects!"
With that, Yulan - Blood Red, who had been smiling a second ago, sneered and raised his hands the next second, summoning thousands of bats to attack Anthony-Black Sparrow and the residents of Turin City behind him.
"Forbidden Bronze!"
Watching the black bat swarm flying like a dark cloud in the sky, Anthony-Black Sparrow immediately opened his Law Domain.
In an instant, countless bone claws, formed from skeletons, extended from behind Anthony-Black Sparrow, like pale chains from the netherworld, reaching out to grab Yulan - Blood Red, preparing to drag him into the Undead Domain.
Seeing this, Yulan - Blood Red, who already possessed the strength of a second-level Wizard, showed no fear towards Anthony-Black Sparrow's offensive.
Just as the dense bone claws passed through the bat swarm and were about to grasp Yulan - Blood Red's body, a strange blood-red thick mist surged out from behind him.
Like blood-red giant pythons, it swept across the entire back mountain, carrying an unparalleled stench, corroding Anthony-Black Sparrow's undead bone claws.
"Drip—drip—"
As the battle between Anthony-Black Sparrow and Yulan - Blood Red grew more intense, Professor Wu Taz, who was maintaining the protective barrier in front of everyone, was like a candle in the wind, blood constantly flowing from his mouth and nose, dripping onto the ground.
And behind the protective barrier, affected by Yulan - Blood Red's Disease Law, the people of Turin City were already on their last breath. The heavy death qi, like a dull knife with a sharpened edge, scraped against everyone's necks, slowly torturing them to death.
"Jia Na, don't waste your strength on me anymore—cough cough!"
Unlike other ordinary mortals, besides the plague brought by the Disease Law, Wizard Apprentices like Vivian, more or less, showed symptoms of contaminated mutation.
Even if they immediately took Purification potions, the continuous contamination power still incessantly eroded the bodies of all extraordinary beings, and had even spread to their souls.
It was precisely because of this that under the dual blow of plague and contamination, even a bloodline warlock with a strong physique like Vivian could only half-lean against the bushes, her face ashen.
"Oh—"
Milky white light continuously emanated from Jia Na's hands, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't completely purify the contamination on Vivian's body; instead, even her own body began to show symptoms of contaminated mutation.
"Cough cough—forget it, Jia Na."
Raising her hand and grasping Jia Na's slightly cold hands, Vivian's original pained expression eased slightly, but then, an indescribable sadness, like a mist, attached itself to Vivian's light-colored pupils.
"If I could have another chance, I would definitely cultivate even harder—cough cough!"
"Vivian, don't speak now—"
"No, I must finish."
Wiping the blood foam from her mouth that had overflowed from severe coughing, Vivian continued to hold Jia Na's hand and whispered:
"Then, I want to become very strong, very strong—strong enough to protect my father, my clan, and…"
my friends."
"Alright, Vivian, if you waste any more energy talking, you might really die."
"Cough cough—don't I die if I don't talk?"
"Of course not."
Saying that, Jia Na gently put down Vivian's hand, and at the same time, scattered the plant essence in her hand, which had run out of magic power and turned into powder, onto the ground.
"Because I won't let you die."
A milky white light rapidly bloomed from Jia Na's hands once again. But this time, the light was no longer confined to Jia Na's hands; even her body, illuminated by the light, outlined a brilliant golden silhouette.
"Oh, wise sage hidden beyond the river of time, please, under the witness of the eternal starry sky, cross the corridor of space and time, and answer my call—"
