Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 52:
In the darkness, the [Black Sun] believers were obviously buffed and had a field advantage.
Lin, on the other hand, suddenly felt her view being restricted.
The current situation was already very unfavourable for her.
Whoosh whoosh!
Lin felt two gusts of wind coming from the front.
Without thinking, a blood-coloured wooden staff appeared in her hand out of nowhere, and she swung it.
Bam!
The end of the staff seemed to have hit someone, causing them to scream in pain and fall to the ground.
“Activate!”
Lin held the Flesh Scepter and smashed it into the ground!
Boom!
The entire building began to tremble as if it had a life of its own, transforming into a terrifying beast.
The other believer who tried to attack it was swallowed by the soft ground, leaving no trace.
After activating the entire building, Lin was still in the dark, but she could still see the fluctuations of life.
One of them was incredibly large, burning with intense black flames!
“Is that a strange creature?”
The priest felt an intense sense of danger and tried to run, but his legs had already been swallowed by the ground.
The ground that used to be there had now turned into a swamp!
Not only that, but a piece of newspaper that had fallen to the floor of the room suddenly flew up and covered his face. It pressed down so hard that he felt suffocated.
His hands desperately tore at the paper, but what had been thin paper was now like the skin of something, tough and full of life.
This made it impossible for him to concentrate and cast any spells or abilities.
Bam!
The black field was also dispelled, allowing Lin to see the unlucky guy she had hit earlier.
He was lying on the ground, his belly bulging like a woman who was ten-month pregnant.
Not only that, but there were lumps of flesh all over his body, making him look terrifying.
But Lin only glanced at him briefly before launching her attack, her target being the controlled priest!
Black flames erupted from the priest’s body, as if he wanted to resist, but it was already too late.
Puff!
The end of the Flesh Sceptre became extremely sharp and pierced his heart.
Lin roared. Countless tentacles seemed to have grown from the end of the Flesh Sceptre, boring into the priest’s body and greedily absorbing his spirit, flesh, and blood.
Not long after, there was nothing but a skeleton where he stood.
Boom!
The believer, screaming on the ground, exploded as well. Insects crawled out of his body and were swallowed by the activated building.
“Quiet!”
Lin waved her sceptre to dispel the activation effect.
She looked at the flesh scepter with a look of obsession on her face.
“This is the ability of a powerful object? I feel that if I have it, I can even fight the High Priest. This is… This is my treasure! ”
Lin’s expression gradually became infatuated.
At that moment, a thin thread stuck to the sceptre and pulled hard.
The sceptre flew out of Lin’s hand and fell into a black box, which abruptly closed.
Lin immediately became extremely depressed, and there was even a hint of danger in her eyes.
Then she closed her eyes. “Thank you, Olivia…”
“I feel like this strange object is a bit scary. If you keep it for a long time, your desire to monopolise it will swell to an unimaginable degree, causing you to kill anyone who tries to stop you from possessing it.”
Olivia appeared at the side and picked up the black box.
“I know… I’m trying my best to control myself.”
Lin closed her eyes. “However, I’ve gained a lot from today’s battle … ‘Activation’ is indeed a very powerful ability, perhaps it belongs to the level of the High Priest… With the Flesh Scepter, my revenge might be carried out much sooner”
Olivia frowned. She could sense that Lin was still affected, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
She thought for a moment and then said: “You should pray to our Lord.”
Although the influence of the Flesh Scepter was a natural change, the Spirit of Falsehood might also have the ability to purify this kind of corruption.
“Of course, after every battle, I will offer the spoils of war to our Lord”
Lin was the most devout of the believers, so she immediately began to pray:
“Spirit of Falsehood that wandering in the unknown, absolute neutral existence, silent observer!”
“Please hear the prayers of your believer, please cast your merciful gaze upon us!”
“Your believer has won another battle, please allow me to offer you the spoils of war!”
…
Unknown to Lin, Aaron had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning of their battle.
“The spoils of war are quite good, the spirituality of a ‘Dark Chaser’ might be able to last two more days in the real world before it dissipates…”
In the real world, Aaron’s body was like a leaky bucket, with spirituality constantly leaking out, and if he used any kind of spell or ritual, the process would be even faster.
Theoretically, the more spirituality there was, the longer it could last.
“But I can’t use it now, maybe I can let her keep it for now and sacrifice it when the time is right.”
“Besides, there’s another one…”
Aaron’s gaze turned outside the building, to a shadowy spot.
This spot looked quite normal, but in his vision he could see a monster lying on the ground!
Its body was that of a black dog, its entire body burning with black flames, but its head was that of an old man, with wrinkled skin and a large number of tattoos.
At that moment, its black eyes stared unblinkingly in Lin’s direction.
“The beast of darkness… The High Priest!”
“He’s so cunning … Through divination, He knew there was something going on here so he sent a priest while its main body hid in the shadows using a team as bait?”
“Lin and Olivia didn’t notice, if it wasn’t for me he would have succeeded.”
Aaron couldn’t help but feel a little lucky.
If he hadn’t paid attention during this time, he might have seen the Light of Salvation suffer heavy casualties the next time he visited the Dream World!
He thought for a moment, then made a mystical connection with Lin.
“Even my own mysterious energy unit must go through this connection before it can interfere with reality… Who knows how long it would take for that powerful being to transform.”
Aaron sighed inwardly, then used a bit of energy to convert what he had seen earlier into an image and sent it to Lin and Olivia’s minds.
“This is …”
Lin’s small face suddenly tensed, but she didn’t say anything, looking at Olivia beside her.
Olivia’s expression was solemn as she nodded.
“Praise the Lord…”
She finished her prayer as well, and the two of them walked out of the building together.
They didn’t seem to be on guard at all as they approached the shadow.
Suddenly, Olivia opened the black box that sealed the ‘Flesh Scepter’, grabbed the handle of the scepter and pointed at the shadow, “Activate!”
The next moment, the shadow wriggled and reached out countless tentacles to grab the beast of darkness, as if it had a life of its own!
The Flesh Sceptre could not only activate physical objects, but also some concepts, such as… shadows!
