Chapter 437 Ceremony
Sofia shivered as she hid behind a dark, earthen slope.
What exactly is the purpose of that group of suspicious-looking people?
But no matter what, once Sofia is discovered by them, she's sure to suffer the consequences.
However, if Sofia chooses to run away now, she is very likely to be discovered by the other party.
Staying here without making a sound until the other party leaves will increase Sofia's chances of safely escaping this danger.
However, Sofia still prepared one instant-death reel and one empty reel in advance to deal with any possible attack.
Fortunately, those people didn't seem to notice Sofia's presence.
Instead, they began to communicate in a language that Sofia couldn't understand.
Suddenly, Sophia noticed a change in their tone, as if they were chanting something in unison.
Then, a strange purple light bloomed in the night sky, and a vague, terrifying figure slowly materialized.
It was a female worm covered in short tentacles, bound by several huge chains.
The skin of the dried insect was covered with cracks, from which a sticky liquid constantly seeped.
Suddenly, the maggot opened its small mouth and let out a rough roar like a tiger's howl.
Sofia couldn't help but tremble.
What is this terrifying and blasphemous thing?!
Sofia forced herself to calm down and carefully observed the purple glow.
Only then did I realize that the more peripheral the area, the more blurred the outline.
And the chains gradually disappeared into the night.
Sophia thus concluded that the strange, giant maggot did not descend directly into the air; it was merely a projection. But what were these people trying to do by summoning the projection?
Sofia discreetly observed the crowd, only to see them all kneeling with their faces turned towards the maggots, muttering something under their breath.
It's like a prayer, or perhaps a visit.
The maggot, however, carefully examined these people with its many eyes covering its body.
Then came another loud roar.
Then, the liquid seeping from the maggots began to condense and flow down into the maggots' brains.
The tentacles also began to wriggle, as if trying to exert force.
The enormous chains rattled and shone with golden light.
Those were more than just chains! Sophia immediately realized that some kind of supernatural power, like a seal, had been applied!
To Sophia's even greater surprise, the liquid that the sister worm had condensed began to drip.
As it fell, it actually crossed the dimensional barrier, and in its physical form, passed through the light curtain and landed on the group of people.
Sofia realized that this might be some kind of ritual.
And that maggot-like creature might be a powerful deity.
Even with limited power, it was still possible to achieve miracles that amazed Sofia!
The crowd below the purple light raised their hands, trying to catch the liquid.
But what followed was a series of agonizing screams.
Those liquids are serving those people.
Sofia saw their bodies begin to rot, and a plume of black smoke rose from them.
Then, even the bones began to crumble and disintegrate.
At this point, they couldn't even let out a scream.
Just as Sofia was suppressing a strong urge to vomit because of this shocking scene, she noticed something strange.
The liquid did not flow directly to the ground, but instead formed the same number of fluid spheres as the dead, engulfing their remaining remains.
Then, the liquid began to turn black and expand—
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the liquid shattered like foam.
Several small worms emerged from the foam.
They have pale, dry skin, and the wrinkles on their bodies resemble horrifying wounds.
Those short tentacles wriggle incessantly, using them to climb forward.
Behind them, however, lay a sticky green trail.
This scene is truly disgusting.
But those who survived began to laugh, even burst into laughter.
They knelt down again and bowed deeply to the purple projection in mid-air.
Cheers, gratitude.
Sofia couldn't understand their specific words, but she could sense what they were trying to say.
In their eyes, those people were not dead.
It is evolution.
They evolved into the offspring of their gods, and into beings of a higher dimension.
A fanatical believer picked up one of the maggots.
It stretched out its long tongue, covered in white coating, to lick the maggot's skin.
But accidentally, it licked off the white skin of a larva, revealing red flesh and blood, and a thick juice gushed out.
The stench quickly reached Sofia's nose.
After that, the group started chanting something again.
This time, Sophia saw the light screen of the insect in mid-air gradually fading away.
Sofia understood that the actions of this group of madmen were finally coming to an end.
Then they will leave.
Having thought of this, Sophia let out a long sigh.
However, it was this small action that caused the almost vanished projection of the evil god to turn its countless eyes, oozing yellowish pus, toward Sophia.
Just one glance was enough to make Sofia want to scream.
She attempted to tear off her own skin, dissect her internal organs, and to torment her own soul in the most cruel way.
Sofia felt herself going insane; her mind was being corrupted.
Only one desire arose in her heart: to become one with those disgusting maggots.
Fortunately, the light barrier completely dissipated.
Sofia emerged from the pollution before suffering a complete mental breakdown.
However, she still couldn't calm down.
She felt those effects were profound and intense.
Sofia knew that a huge wound had been torn into her soul.
Sharks are said to be able to track their prey by their blood, and Sofia was marked by that evil god.
This wasn't just Sofia's suspicion; look, those larvae were waving their tiny antennae and slowly crawling towards Sofia.
The remaining believers also looked over.
Oh no! We've been discovered!
One of the believers raised his finger and shouted something, while the rest rushed toward Sofia.
Sophie, under pressure, didn't have time to think and turned to run away.
Have the enemy caught up yet? What will happen if we get caught?
Sofia didn't know.
Until, a viscous liquid quickly caught up with Sofia and adhered to the ground.
Sofia, on the other hand, felt her steps become incredibly heavy; she could no longer escape.
Sofia turned around and saw the approaching crowd and maggots.
His face was deathly pale, and his heart was pounding wildly.
We must fight back! We must!
She had three instant-death reels, but that wasn't enough.
Area attacks must be used.
Sophia took out a scroll containing the Small Fireball spell and opened it.
A small fireball flew forward.
When the fireball touched the object, it burst into a violent flame.
At the same time, she also heard a scream.
But now is not the time to be frugal!
Sofia pulled out a second card, and another fireball flew out.
Then came the third and fourth ones—
All eight reels were used up, and a wall of orange-red fire rose in front of Sophia.
Is that enough...?
Just as Sofia was thinking this, despair came unexpectedly.
Suddenly, a person emerged from the flames, passed through the wall of fire, and appeared in Sofia's field of vision.
Ignoring the burning sensation in his body, he gently patted his burning hair with his palm and continued walking towards Sofia.
Immediately afterwards, the sister insect also passed through the wall of fire.
More believers, more sissies—
Their faces wore only greedy and maniacal smiles.
