Chapter 407 No one can escape
Little Red Man Lorraine poked his head out of the blood pool, cautiously observing his surroundings. Terra held his hand silently... and together they looked around.
Both were coated in a layer of blood plasma in the viscous pool of blood, which became a natural disguise.
The blood pool bubbled continuously, with a slightly warm feeling, not too hot, more like a hot spring... Behind me, many werewolf servants fell in one after another, they were all still alive... no, it should be said that they were all still intact, in fact, they had long been possessed by the vengeful spirits controlled by Lorraine, and only their shells remained.
As long as the most important female werewolf leader is unharmed, the Bloodfang werewolves transformed into Shadow Soul Eater werewolf puppets will not escape Lorraine's control.
They were secretly ordered by Lorraine to lie dormant in the Blood Pool Altar... so as not to attract the attention of the humans chanting incantations around the altar.
However, Lorraine had no idea what the purpose of this blood pool was...
When he noticed a platform above the altar, and a familiar figure staring at him from there, the other person had already begun chanting a spell.
......
"You've finally arrived, guest from afar."
Mayor Boone had long, gray hair and wore the robes of a Twilight Cultist, which were purple with gold trim and more prestigious than those worn by the ordinary cultists kneeling below.
Lorraine noticed that Mayor Bourne's originally wrinkled face had regained its youthful appearance, as if he was enjoying the influence of the blood pool... He was bathing in the faint blood mist of the blood pool, a smile on his lips, his face full of intoxication.
Without opening his eyes, he spoke to Lorraine. The voice Lorraine heard did not sound like a human throat; rather, it was like a surround sound system, resounding directly in his mind.
"I knew you would come here eventually, bringing the sacrifices we need. The prophecy foretold everything: the Blood God will descend upon the mortal realm once more. Not only the Blood God Hakkar, but all the ancient demigods, those omnipotent, immortal creators who were suppressed and imprisoned, will one day break free..."
Born let out a hearty and excited laugh.
Ignoring his nonsensical words, Lorraine looked up and noticed that several familiar faces were hanging on the wall above Bourne's head... around the blood pool, densely packed at intervals.
High in the sky, human bodies are bound by chains, their hands and feet nailed to a special torture device...
This is a strange tower-shaped altar.
Chains and strange statues were everywhere, each with a different expression of terror, all reaching out towards the center of the altar... seemingly yearning for something, or perhaps fearing something...
The offerings on the walls were all living people who had been captured.
Most of them appeared to be male human soldiers, with a few seemingly residents of Hillsbrad Foothills, men, women, and children... Lorraine then realized that the pool of blood he and Terra were in was formed from the blood of thousands of living people or other humanoid creatures...
At least a thousand people have disappeared near the jade mines in the Hillsbrad Foothills...
They are all here!
The mayor of Bonn captured them all and offered them as sacrifices to the ancient god. Lorraine wondered how this seemingly insignificant village nobleman had managed to do it.
What sent chills down his spine was that many of the sacrificial offerings on the wall were still alive, groaning in pain...
Among the acquaintances Lorraine spotted was the first of them all—the arrogant and vengeful Prince Garin of Stromgarde... He was now listless and his face contorted. He was hanging right above Mayor Bourne's head.
Garin led nearly two thousand men from Stromgarde to besiege Mayor Bourne's Jade Mine in Hillsbrad, but now he's hanging on the wall, his blood being continuously drawn...
Beside Garin, not far away, hung Lieutenant Leylein, the Sword of Tranquility, a former Silver Hand paladin with whom Lorraine had fought several times... He was severely injured and unconscious... His slightly rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive.
Britney, the Holy Paladin and disciple of Leon, was also hanging...
Brancard, the mayor's loyal servant and a highly regarded page, was also hung on the wall...
Others, whose names I don't know but whom I've met at the banquet, including human officers and minor nobles from the town, were hung up one by one with instruments of torture similar to lute hooks... their blood flowing into the blood pool at the altar...
Anyone with even a little bit of strength seems to still have a shred of life left...
Lorraine and Terra were discovered, and they loosened their grip on each other's hands, each preparing for battle. Estimated Mayor Bourne's location, Lorraine decided to take down the strange old scoundrel first.
While Mayor Bonn continued his mystical pronouncements and praises of the ancient gods.
Lorraine unleashed her invincible Tide Charm charged attack directly at Mayor Born... Shockwave! Almost simultaneously, Terra also released Arcane Impact... Arcane energy barrage shot straight at Mayor Born on the platform.
Get started first!
Serves you right for talking nonsense...
The shockwave had enough range, and Mayor Bonn was positioned high above. Even if their attacks couldn't kill him outright, they would at least knock him off the platform... Lorraine noticed what appeared to be a rift in the abyss below the altar...
Even if you drive the town mayor into a crack in the ground and he falls to his death, that's fine...
Faced with Lorraine and Terra's sudden attack, the mayor was not surprised at all... He continued to chant strange incantations that Lorraine could not understand, letting the shockwaves carrying the power of thunder and storm tides come.
The shockwave struck him, creating a ring of energy that seemed to have blocked Lorraine's attack.
The shockwave made the prisoners on the tower wall sway, the iron hooks piercing their limbs and bodies causing excruciating pain. Prince Garin was the first to be hit, letting out a howl like a wild boar...
That wasn't all; Terra's arcane attacks followed in quick succession.
Five arcane strikes were launched at Mayor Born's Void Shield, but the red Void Shield remained completely undamaged.
The mayor calmly closed his eyes and continued chanting...
Lorraine heard Mayor Bourne's words echo in her ears, "My nephew, you killed him. He was the last thing I had left in this world... I told him to leave, but he never listened. I told him not to know our secret, but he always lingered at the gates of hell."
"Our mission is to welcome the day of twilight, the day when all things will perish... and we, as servants of God, will be immortal!"
"You can't hurt me until I complete the ritual. If you still want to test our strength, let them play with you... Don't die too quickly, I don't like hearing beg for mercy... This foolish prince who betrayed his own father, I said he would suffer in the flames of hell, this is just the beginning..."
As the mayor whispered eerily, Lorraine and Terra noticed that several believers closest to the altar stood up.
These men are familiar to me; they were the human targets Undercity had specifically chosen to assassinate during the Battle of Hillsbrad Foothills: the commoner Wilkes, the scribe Horace, the farmer Raine, the farmer Gaz, the miner Hackett, the blacksmith... the tailor... the fisherman...
