Chapter 3651 Despair
"We are ready," said the big-red skin man. "Finally," said Governor Moraz and moved with the rest. All seven of them took the position in the center and began to move, or rather dance, strangely. "The ritual," I muttered in my heart.
The ritual is an important part of the sacrifice to the Asear Vajaras. Without it, their power couldn"t be invoked. The method to cast a ritual could be anything, dance, music, or murder, but it needed to be something.
The last time, the ritual was inside the temple, where we needed to kill each other; here it was, this strange dance.
The dance looked like; it was being done by the ghosts. Their movements were eerily smooth, but felt jarring at the same time, that I wanted to look away. I didn"t, because I couldn"t do anything. I had done what I could and now the only thing I could do was wait.
I hate this feeling of powerlessness, but there is nothing I can do about it. The enemies are far stronger than me. The only thing, that gives me peace is that me act with foresight.
I had sent the message to the Prime Volsnorth. The moment, I had sensed the invisible crystal in the light.
I kept sending it over and over with every invisible crystal, I found. I had sent hundreds of such messages and got a reply from the first one, within a minute.
It was a single-line message, but it made me feel relieved.
I would have been completely relieved if the hidden being had responded, but there was no response. Not even a single word, which is unlike the last when hidden, guided me through the steps.
It is the only reason I am even alive.
I may have survived that time, but it would be hard for me to survive this time. Even if I was able to send the message, it would take a long time for Prime Volsnorth to arrive.
The power hadn"t just come to them but seemed to spread through the whole formation and the symbols covering us. In a moment, I felt the seals on me getting tens of times stronger.
Now, even if I want to break them, it will take hours.
Though it wouldn"t have happened, seeing every ghostly movement they are making is transmitting more energy into the symbols.
The symbols on the bodies of the four had also started to glow brightly by the seconds.
Hun!
A few seconds pa.s.sed, when suddenly my expressions turned worse. The symbols lit up across my body and they started projecting themselves into my body, soul, and energy.
I know very well that once the complete symbols are projected inside me, I will be dead. It will start to eat my soul and will burn my body and energy to strengthen its connection with the world.
It is how the race operates and why they were so hard to find. Seconds pa.s.sed and, with seconds, their movements would become more ghostly, and more brightly those symbols would s.h.i.+ne. Making more of them project inside me.
Soon, half of them had projected inside me and the speed they were projecting themselves. It wouldn"t take more than a minute and a half for all the symbols to project inside me.
Once that is done, even the Prime wouldn"t be able to be me or anyone else from their clutches.
Despair couldn"t help, but fill my heart, and asked my clone to prepare for the measure I had created for this scenario.
It will kill me, but it is still better than, letting the Asear Vajaras have my soul. Its sunday with more chapters. Hope you all enjoy them and vote.
