Chapter 18 The real back-up plan!
For this matter, almost one-third of the core members of their sect are here.

Although the Abyss Sect has the largest number of members among many cults, the number of people who can be called backbones is probably the smallest among all cults.

After all, their beliefs have destined them to be large in number, mixed in quality, and severely divided.

Fortunately, everyone is still willing to fight together for true salvation.

But in any case, the losses this time were too severe.

The loss of almost one-third of their backbone means it will take decades for them to recover.

Moreover, the serious losses this time will definitely affect the sect internally, so that even if they still have spare strength, they will be unwilling to continue cooperating because of the lesson learned this time.

After all, they are a group of scattered individuals.

This is very bad news for him, a pure believer in the abyss.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he still has one last chance.

The old man, who looked like a simple farmer in terms of temperament and dress, stood up and noticed that there was an extra person behind him.

The other person was wearing a tall black top hat and had a walking stick tucked around his waist.

He looks very elegant, a rare classy gentleman.

I saw that the old man had noticed me.

The other party immediately took off his hat and saluted.

"Dear sir, I think I must send you away as soon as possible. As you can see, all your companions have failed."

"And Her Majesty the Queen has also noticed some minor problems."

"So, please leave this country with me as soon as possible."

The old man smiled and said:
"Leave the country or leave the world?"

In the eyes of these parasites, the sect's plan has completely failed.

Then there's no point in keeping this troublesome guy around.

After all, everyone says it is cooperation, but in fact it is just a matter of each taking what they need and trying to get the skin of a tiger.

Having come to this point, there is bound to be a fallout.

The gentleman's expression did not change at all, he just put on his hat.

As he straightened his hat, another heavily armored knight nearly three meters tall jumped up from the bottom of the mountain.

But there was no sound when it landed.

"It would be great if you were willing to understand our difficulties and give up resistance!"

The gentleman chuckled, and the stick of civilization in his hand had unknowingly turned into a deck of magic cards.

The heavily armored knight, who had been silent since his appearance, also silently drew out his greatsword.

Just as the old man expected, now that it has come to this, he might as well turn against himself!

Killing him would not only remove the evidence of collusion with the cultists, but would also allow him to claim that he had defeated a high-ranking figure in the cult.

But in response, the old man smiled and shook his head:
"My companions have failed, but I haven't. You are an Apostle of the Mystic Law, so you will help with the last part."

As the old man stomped his feet, a complex ritual that was so large that it almost covered the entire mountain emerged.

Looking at the summoning spell at his feet, the gentleman said with a little surprise:
"What an ancient summoning ritual."

"This is a very primitive spell. We have hardly ever used it in our sect. It is said that the great Finn was summoned by this spell."

This is an ancient magic trick to summon demons, there is no doubt about that, but the gentleman still doesn't quite understand one thing:
"Summoning demons requires a large amount of precious materials to build the door and a huge amount of spiritual flesh and blood as a temporary anchor. But here there is only an ancient spell as a beacon, without these two necessities!"

The silent knight stepped forward slowly.

The old man still smiled.

There was no intention to resist, nor any intention to explain.

Upon seeing this, the gentleman and the knight both understood at the same time.

Here is one thing that satisfies both of these conditions—himself!

Although he is a cultist, he is a demigod.

It is undoubtedly enough to use the flesh and blood and life of a demigod as the elements to construct the door and the temporary anchor for the devil to appear in the world.

"What a lunatic." The gentleman couldn't help but say this, and the staff of civilization returned to his hand instead of the magic card.

"My master meant to deal with you immediately, but since you still have the courage, I can represent my master to continue the contract."

The knight said nothing, but nodded slightly.

For both families, the way to maximize their benefits is to continue the contract and allow the old man to summon successfully.

The Deer Family, represented by the Gentleman, needs the Demon Lord's heart, and the Lion Family, represented by the Knight, needs a sufficiently shocking turmoil and achievements belonging to the Lion Family.

The old man shook his head at the gentleman and said:

"I'm not crazy, I'm just seeking true salvation."

"Incomprehensible."

The gentleman still couldn't understand the cultists' thoughts, but it was not that he couldn't understand sacrificing oneself for one's beliefs.

He couldn't understand why the other party clearly knew that the ultimate goal of both his and his two families was to kill the devil who appeared in the world.

And you have to persist in the summoning ceremony.

In the past, it could be said that if a demon lord and his demigod of the Abyss Sect were determined to escape, they should have a chance to break through successfully.

But now that he, the demigod of the Abyss camp, is gone, why would he still want to summon a mortal demon lord?

I can't understand it, but I have no reason to object.

The monster was dead. Although the young queen was high up, she was not as irresistible as the monster. Especially now that the queen was powerless to intervene in the southern border.

And when I think of the horror of the Great Purge.

Even though he was a demigod back then, he was trembling with heart.

He remembered that he was almost turned into a sealed object or a potion and kept in the study of the great dictator.

The gentleman couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and forced himself to observe this ancient ritual carefully, ready to assist in the completion of the ceremony.

The old man did not intend to refute. He just said to the knight behind him:
"There will be a lot of noise in a while, why don't you find the right time to attract their attention first?"

The knight nodded slightly in agreement.

Like the gentleman, he could not understand the old man's behavior, but he had no reason to object.

The Lion family needs all of this to happen so badly!
As time approaches the number 666.

The three official demigods in the city were also becoming increasingly uneasy, their spirits warning them.

But they have already searched the entire Suras several times.

There is nothing else at all!
The ceremony outside the city had completely covered the hillside with the help of the gentleman.

I saw the old man take out the mithril dagger and look at me.

The knight nodded slightly in salute.

Although he is a cultist, his courage in sacrificing himself for his faith deserves his respect.

After saluting, the knight disappeared on the spot.

A moment later, an unimaginable roar erupted from the side of Suras City facing the imperial capital.

Even those who were far away on the opposite side noticed the considerable vibration coming from under their feet.

The three demigods in the city rushed over there almost immediately.

But after a while, one demigod remained in the city, and only two set off.

And on this side of the hill.

After taking a longing look at this beautiful world, the old man cut his wrist with the mithril dagger without hesitation.

Sprinkle your own flesh and blood on this huge ceremony.

The gentleman took off his top hat and threw it towards the sky. The huge invisible hat covered the top of the mountain.

Cover up the evil.

Hide the blasphemy.

The bells of depravity and chaos will ring here!
