Chapter 475 Flame Demon Karl

At the moment when the ceremony started, Aiwass felt as if his throat was blocked by something.

He couldn't speak at all, and even had difficulty making a sound.

It was like a dream in which he lost his ability to speak.

If he tried to resist the effect of the ritual array, he would only suffocate himself if he tried to speak.

And it was obvious that Aiwass was not the only one who was restrained. In addition to Sherlock, who was already in a coma, the other three who were awake also fell silent instantly.

...Group silence?

Aiwass knew that with so many teammates guarding him... he probably didn't need to worry about General Carl, who was alone.

So before General Carl arrived, Aiwas walked to the window, raised his head, focused on the ritual above his head, and carefully studied and analyzed its effect.

The ritual arranged by the fifth-level transcendent, I obviously couldn't stop it without transcending the level of the path. But I can see if there is any part that can be used.

The scarlet runes formed three concentric disks in the sky—three spells were written in the language of the Herasl Empire mixed with the Elven language.

From the outer circle to the inner circle, it rotated clockwise, counterclockwise, and clockwise at slow, very fast, and fast speeds.

The blood-colored runes rotated like a millstone, making a humming sound that became louder and louder like a machine starting up.

If the words were roughly analyzed, they could be translated as:

“We worship Hengwo, the god of the holy number of one, the god of death and rebirth, the god of long-term ignorance/We respectfully invite the bloody celestial being, the celestial being of eternal feast, the celestial being of endless desire/We respectfully invite the amber celestial being, the celestial being of remembrance, and the celestial being of inscription.”

“Those who live long and yearn for death must be the king of kings.”

“Bound: Those who have existed for more than 119 years are prohibited from leaving here; Chaos: Those whose flames are higher here than others; Inscription: Silence.”

—This is not any existing ritual.

It was a trap specially set for Shafiya by General Leo Karl, the fifth-level demon incarnation, in order to catch her!

This kind of range ritual usually does not have the function of enemy identification. In other words, any ritual with enemy identification will be much weaker because it is not absolute enough.

The more absolute the requirements of the ritual are, the stronger the binding force will be. Just like the terms of the contract.

Therefore, the best way is to add a condition that just covers the other party and does not affect your own results as much as possible.

This ritual is to pray for power from Hengwo, Xuetiansi, and Lingbo, so that people with a lifespan of more than 119 years old cannot escape from this place.

Whether it is General Karl or the strong man of the Dusk Path, they are just ordinary humans. Even Queen Xingti is the same-although she is the immortal son of the moon, she is not too old. Even if you count her lifespan as a human, she is only a little over a hundred years old.

As a half-blood elf, Shafiya is just over 120 years old this year. Therefore, this restriction will only take effect on her. In other words, this number is the line drawn for her based on intelligence.

If the line is reached, the ritual will have the strongest suppression power on her.

At the same time, this ritual array also increases the half-level priority of the "fire" category ability - it cannot penetrate the upper layer of protection, but it can always overwhelm the opponent at the same level. Shafiya does not have fire-type spells, and she is best at counter-attack and binding spells.

So she can't get the buff effect of this ritual at all, but will be silenced instead.

When everyone is silenced, the law mage who relies on language components to launch attacks will suffer the greatest loss - at least much more than the demon incarnation.

- No escape, flame penetration, group silence.

If there is only Shafiya here, this is simply a trap for a sure kill.

In the timeline of the game plot, this may be the cause of Shafiya's death - she can send Isabel out, but she can't escort her to the Church. Those griffin knights didn't dare to chase her... So it can only be that she just let Her Royal Highness escape safely, and then she turned back and got into the trap.

But in this world line, the situation obviously won't develop like this.

After General Carl issued the threat, he didn't appear immediately.

About ten seconds later, an abnormal heat suddenly came from the Queen's bedroom.

The surrounding space gradually became hot and distorted, and the plants in the room gradually emitted white smoke and withered quickly.

Then came the papers.

They all emitted green smoke, turned black, curled up, and turned into ashes.

Then came the gauze, which broke through black holes in the middle. Like a spider web, it was burned by the flames that ignited instantly.

Then came the wooden floor and bed, with pieces of charred spots floating on it.

The sunlight in the sky became more dazzling and blazing, and the increasingly strong heat made the air evaporate and distort. The entire glass island exposed to the water outside became scorching yellow, surging with earthy yellow vortices, gradually evaporating and drying up, the green plants withered and yellowed, and the air began to have a stronger and stronger smell of sulfur.

Shafiya took a deep breath and clenched the staff in her hand.

——For Her Majesty the Queen!

——For Avalon!!

She silently chanted in her heart, and a silver-white glow ignited from her eyes. A silver-white ring emerged from the depths of her originally deep blue pupils, and her long curly light golden hair moved without wind.

Those people who had become confused by the abnormal phenomenon calmed down again.

Silver-white circles appeared in the depths of their pupils, and a clear instruction emerged in their minds:

Stay away from the Temple of Silver and Tin!

The silver triangles on each street lamp emit a sacred silver-white glow in the daytime, reflecting the glory of authority. They are like triangles, making crisp sounds in an orderly manner, like signal towers one after another, constantly spreading Shafiya's will.

If you look down at Avalon from above at this time, you can see a circle of khaki-colored drought marks spreading outward from the center of the Temple of Silver and Tin.

The Temple of Silver and Tin itself is on the island in the middle of the lake, and the deep blue lake where it is located, as clear and transparent as a gem, has turned khaki. And the flow of people poured out like ants before the rain, separating black thin lines in an orderly manner and leaving.

Neither Shafiya nor General Carl used any spells.

This is an abnormal phenomenon naturally induced when the fifth-level extraordinary person resonates with the power of the path.

The next moment, a piece of the wall reinforced by the preservation technique suddenly bulged and changed color. This wall, which could withstand the full-strength attack of the fourth-level extraordinary person and was stronger than steel, now curled like burnt and bent steel.

Then, it finally broke completely!

Countless flames rushed in with a roar, surging like a tsunami.

——Karl was very cautious and did not try to enter from the main door. Instead, he directly surrounded the entire bedroom with scorching flames!

His golden pupils were burning, and the clothes on his upper body were completely ignited by the flames.

His right fist was clenched, and his arms with abnormally swollen muscles were extremely large. Even thick to a somewhat discordant degree. The bulging blood vessels on the forearm and the back of the hand were flashing with purple light belonging to the path of transcendence.

On the old body, there was withered, wrinkled skin and clearly visible muscles. He had scars all over his body, and those scars were like wounds caused by being pierced by a burning sword.

At this moment, all of Old Carl's wounds were like passages, like doors that were open.

Golden-red flames flowed out like body fluids, flowing like liquids, crawling on the walls like living things. From those wounds, you can still see the deep red, ember-like flames.

——That was the power of the Flame Demon that was constantly drawn out of his body.

If it was fully released, the power of his self-explosion would be enough to destroy the entire Glass Island.

Even if he had not awakened as a demon... relying only on borrowing power from the demons in his body, he could be called an absolute strong man.

But when Carl broke the wall and stepped into the room, the cruel smile on his face suddenly froze, and he was stunned for a moment.

...Why are there so many people?
