Chapter 217 The Divine War Part 4

The continuous rumbling vibrations from below made the rocks tremble violently. The ground became unstable, and people could hardly stand upright. Far away on the peaks, dark red blood water overflowed like boiling soup, spreading down along the steep rock walls. The blood waves surged wildly, like scorching lava burning the mountain body. Wherever it passed, white mist rose and spread into the gray sky.

“Quickly go.”

The dancer’s low voice came from ahead. A faint golden light shone around her as she clasped her hands together in prayer: “Now, there’s still time.”

I felt my scalp tingle.

“Is that… the Goddess of Sin…”

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through my mind. I wondered if I had failed, if the destroyed blood beads were fake, if I was too late…

The next moment, the dancer’s shout snapped me out of my daze.

“Quickly go! Take the branch of the White Tree, go!!”

Buzz—

The dazzling golden light of the divine miracle poured down from the endless sky and the falling ashes, illuminating the scorched trembling earth instantly. It revealed the wolf demons hiding in the dark corners, crouching in fear, not daring to move.

Rumble rumble rumble…

The huge and muffled rumbling continued. Countless large rocks suspended in mid-air began to crash down one after another. In the scene that seemed to shake heaven and earth, I saw the dancer in a red dress leap forward. Her white feathers spun and wrapped in golden light, soaring up into the air, rushing toward the peak.

What does she want to do…

“Hold on!”

I shouted loudly, spreading my flame wings, black fog billowing out. There was a loud explosion underfoot as I charged up into the gray sky like a cannonball, flying past the eerie gazes of countless demons, chasing the dancer’s figure towards the shaking peak.

Buzz buzz buzz…

The humming of the divine miracle kept coming from the sky, drowning out the roaring wind. I chased for about a hundred meters when the dazzling golden light almost completely blocked my vision. My eyes stung so much I couldn’t open them, so I raised my hand to shield myself. My flight slowed down, and soon the dancer disappeared into the golden light.

Where did she go…

Damn it…

Who can tell me what’s happening right now!!!

A huge rock fell from above. I dodged it, feeling uneasy. In the devouring light, I struggled to flap my wings, my tiny figure continuing to ascend until I quickly flew over the high rock peak and paused in suspension.

It’s so hot…

The airflow blowing against my face was already warm enough to feel.

I raised my hand to block the golden light above, squinting one eye as I looked through the swirling steam above the rock peak, down at the charred crater below.

The ash scattered by the wind looked like snowflakes.

Boom boom boom boom—

With four consecutive loud explosions, four massive beams of light rose from the peak of the already blood-soaked rock, surrounding the crater. The beams were square with sharp edges, and at the top, several thick golden chains extended outward, connecting the four beams firmly, like a warning line, instantly encircling the crater.

That’s the divine miracle the dancer performed… something like a seal… I’ve never seen anything like this before…

Gurgle gurgle gurgle…

In the crater, the dark red pooled blood formed a lake, the surface rippling like boiling water. Endless bubbles rose and burst, and the remains of flesh floated on the surface, gradually sinking. Then, a hideous arm suddenly emerged from the viscous blood!

!!!

I was startled.

That’s a human arm!

No! It’s human!

Bones!

But they were too big…

Too big!!!

The grotesque hand emerging from the blood lake, despite having the same structure as a human hand with five finger bones, metacarpals, carpal bones, ulna, joints, and proportions almost identical to a human hand, was at least fifty times larger!

No, a hundred times!!!

The enormous bony hand emerged from the viscous blood, then slammed down with a thunderous impact, creating a massive tidal wave of blood that exploded with a loud thud, splashing nearly a hundred meters into the air. The scorching air rushed towards me, my face turning pale as I squinted and held my breath in terror.

What… the hell is this…

In my vision, the four light columns surrounding the large pit were stained by the dark blood spattered by the giant bony hand, their once radiant golden glow suddenly dimming. The thick chains rattled violently, and in the next moment, a bloody head slowly surfaced from the blood.

“What…”

I noticed my voice trembling and took a deep breath.

“What! What the hell is this—!!!”

As if to vent the unease and fear in my heart, I clenched my fists and stared intently at the huge head, shouting loudly at the rocks below.

It was a human head.

No hair, no eyes, no nose or ears. It seemed to have been soaked in some kind of toxic liquid, with the blackened skull held together by strands of flesh, and the zygomatic bone and mandible connected by a disgusting translucent membrane, as if left exposed to the elements and gnawed by wild beasts, leaving only a small amount of flesh.

The empty eye sockets oozed thick dark blood like a waterfall, dripping down “splash splash” as the skull continued to emerge from the surface of the blood lake, flowing back into the lake. The dark red surface of the lake boiled more fiercely, the temperature in the air rising continuously. Then, when the skull fully emerged from the blood, it turned its head, opened its jaw wide, and let out a long, mournful howl.

“Buzz——”

It was a sound wave similar to the hum of a miracle, but infinitely sharper. The terrifying sound waves were clearly visible, spreading instantly from the skull’s mouth, shattering countless rocks around the pit, shaking the light columns and chains, and stirring up clouds of dust!

My face turned even paler, and I covered my ears tightly.

“Ahh…”

A horrifying, fearful emotion, accompanied by a deep-seated tremor I couldn’t explain, and a piercing shriek that almost burst my eardrums, pressed against my brain. I couldn’t hold back a scream, which I only heard for an instant before being replaced by a stronger hum.

The steam dissipating at the peak, like clouds, vanished abruptly in the sound wave’s vibration.

In a daze, I seemed to see that woman.

She was standing on the rock at the edge of the large pit, about a hundred meters away from the enormous, corpse-like thing. Dark red blood surged beneath her feet, submerging her ankles, and the surging blood dyed her silver hair red. The dancer swayed unsteadily, like a small boat in a blood-red storm. The bright golden light transformed into flowing rays, emanating from her body and continuously feeding faith power to the four trembling light columns.

But the color of the light columns continued to fade due to the constant erosion by the blood, gradually becoming transparent.

In the blood lake, the enormous corpse revealed its shoulder blades wrapped in membranes, its chest exposed with only ribs, and its dark red heart contracting and beating in the hollow chest cavity, making a “thump, thump” sound, as if striking a bell, deep and powerful.

“【Abyssal Language】Human… beings…”

It slowly turned its skull, a red glow flashing in its pitch-black eye sockets as it looked at the dancer.

In the next moment, the terrifying giant hand emerged again from the blood, carrying a howling gale and viscous blood, and slammed down abruptly towards the rock where the woman stood.
