Chapter 95 The ritual of sacrifice
Because of the experience the first time, You Xuan was well prepared this time. He half-squatted and landed steadily on the ground.
A pungent smell hit me in the face, and the air seemed to carry a damp and musty smell. The surrounding walls were eroded by time and were mottled. Spots of water spread on the walls, forming abstract and strange patterns.
It was completely different from the lush green forest environment when I landed last time.
"Is this also the spirit world?"
You Xuan looked around and when he turned around, he saw the silent magician holding a magic staff and guarding him vigilantly.
So he thought about it, then walked forward and reached out to try to pinch that snow-white face.
Yeah, it’s still the same feel.
"Sure enough, we're back to the elf world." You Xuan pondered.
Silent Magician: “???”
How did my face become a testing device?
She pouted for a moment, then quickly went back into her deck.
You can also return to your own card in the spirit world, but the spirits here are usually physical. Although they can also be materialized in reality, it requires extra energy.
Even a powerful elf like Ultraman (Xin Yuxia) in the late tenth generation can only be active for a few minutes in reality. Well, it sounds quite normal.
So You Xuan asked the Chaos Warrior again: "Is this still the same Elf Realm as before?"
The Chaos Warrior shook his head. "No, it's not the world I'm familiar with. But I can feel that the same evil is spreading in this dimension. This is also a world poisoned by the power of the evil god."
"Olihagang? Here?"
As expected, Oliha Gang's snake has a huge appetite. Not only does he set his sights on the present world, but he also has his eyes on countless dimensions of elves.
"However, the barrier between this dimension and the dimension where you duelists are located has been weakened a lot due to the invasion of the evil god." The Chaos Warrior said, "If necessary, I can break through the barrier and return to reality at any time with my power."
You Xuan felt a little relieved. Since he could get out at any time, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, it was the legendary Great Opening that opened up the world and mastered the power of Dimension Slash, so it was reliable. With the Great Opening, it seemed that there was no need to worry about getting lost in the other dimension in the future.
He remembered that Yubel, who was the boss in the later part of the anime, also had a very strong spatial ability. Even when he only awakened one hand, he could easily drag the entire Duel Academy to another dimension. He wondered if the spatial ability he had opened up would be able to fight against him.
"Are you leaving?" asked the Chaos Warrior.
"Don't worry." You Xuan stood up.
After all, we have come.
And according to the picture before the teleportation, although Judai's two AFK roommates were outside the light, Judai should have been teleported with him. I don't know if it was because he and Judai were the only ones standing in the pattern on the floor of the room, or if it was related to the fact that they were both duelists with spirit powers.
It would be better to first look for Judai to see if he is nearby.
She stood up and took a few steps, and when she turned around, she almost scared him.
He saw the body.
The bodies of the warriors in armor and their bloody swords were thrown aside. There were also the wizards whose robes had turned into dry bones and their broken staffs were thrown aside.
A large number of corpses were piled here.
Then I heard voices coming from behind, and someone was shouting towards me.
"Huh? There's actually a fish that slipped through the net!"
"The ritual sacrifice!" someone else shouted, "Stop!"
The two men ran over. You Xuan looked closely and saw that they were two walking skeletons, wearing armor, holding swords and shields, and wearing helmets on their heads.
The two skeleton soldiers ran a few steps hurriedly, and then slowed down as they got closer.
Because they found that the sacrifice seemed to have no intention of escaping.
"The sacrifice in the ceremony, are you talking about me?" You Xuan asked.
"Of course, who else could it be?"
You Xuan was thoughtful. If the point they teleported to was not far away, Judai might be there.
"Okay, then lead the way, let's go, where is the venue?" You Xuan said.
The skeleton soldiers looked at each other.
It’s getting exciting. Why does today’s sacrifice seem a bit more positive?
But that certainly saved them a lot of trouble. Two skeleton soldiers sandwiched him in the middle, one in front and one behind, apparently to prevent him from escaping.
But they soon discovered that their concerns were unnecessary. The sacrifice had no intention of running away and was even a bit talkative.
You Xuan asked casually, "Ritual. Let me guess. Is it a ritual of offering sacrifice to the great god Olihagang?"
The two skeleton soldiers shuddered violently and turned their heads to look at him in shock.
"Why did you say that name?" One of the skeleton soldiers was surprised. "How did you know the name of the great true God?"
As expected, they were all the subordinates of the scoundrel. The taller skeleton soldier was even more shocked and looked at his shorter teammate: "Brother, this guy could be a believer of our true God."
"Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible." The dwarf skeleton was also confused, but still waved his hand, "Although I don't know how he knew the name of the true God, there is no trace of the blessing of God in him."
Gao Skull nodded, but there was still some doubt in his eyes when he looked at You Xuan.
"Your work must be difficult, this place looks pretty bad." You Xuan continued to chat, "Oh, by the way, did you see the other sacrifice? He's a human like me, with a jellyfish head and a red uniform, and likes to shout when he speaks."
Two Skeletons: “.”
Unfortunately, the two skeletons were too stupid to reveal more information. After passing through several doors, they came to a dark, huge and damp hall, like the entrance to the underworld. Thick moss covered the walls, and in the center was a huge circular altar with creepy sacrificial items.
The ground around the altar was painted with intricately patterned magic circles, each position of which was inlaid with glowing gems, emitting a faint and cold light. Several huge pillars supported the dome, and the pillars were engraved with ancient spell patterns.
Many skeleton soldiers similar to these two were lined up and scattered around. You Xuan noticed that there were also some captives, all of them were covered in dust and shackled.
On the altar in the middle, there stood a priest in a gray-black robe, with eerie white bones beneath his hood. The black mist on his arm transformed into a device similar to a duel disk.
Opposite it was a blond warrior wearing armor, also wearing an object similar to a duel disk in his hand. He was half-kneeling on the ground, holding his chest and spitting blood.
"That's it! The souls that lose in the battle ritual will become food for the gods!"
The white bones shouted.
"I will use my own direct attack! The attack of the 'King of Bones'!"
The phantom separated from its body formed an incarnation, and the white bones in black robes flew up. A dense bone tower rose from the ground, and the magic power gushing out from it was like a whirlpool of undead that submerged the warrior opposite.
"Ugh!"
The warrior screamed and fell backwards. A green light burst out from the altar, and his soul was pulled out of his body, following the spiral of green light and disappearing into the sky.
You Xuan then recognized the priest who presided over the ceremony. It was actually the White Bone King.
The Bone King is a one-star Undead monster belonging to the Bone Deck.
The sacrificial ceremony has to be carried out by playing cards. This is too Yu-Gi-Oh!
This method seems a bit risky. If the duel is lost, wouldn't it be funny if the priest was sacrificed?
"Another soul sacrificed to the great God."
The mark of Olihagang appeared on the Skeleton King's forehead, and green light burst out from his empty skull eyes.
"Carry it away, next one!"
Another soldier in shackles was brought onto the stage. You Xuan observed that each prisoner would be shackled by the skeleton soldiers before going on stage. Only after the shackles were shackled did a burst of golden light condense on the arm, transforming into a form similar to a duel disk.
"Be thankful. God only likes to enjoy the souls of warriors who died in battle. Therefore, you are all granted the opportunity to fight for your own survival."
The Skeleton King raised the duel disk and said sinisterly.
"Of course, the ending is actually predetermined."
"Damn it, stop being so arrogant."
The warrior gritted his teeth and unfolded the duel disk.
After watching one more fight, You Xuan became convinced.
The Skeleton King was indeed using his own "Bone" deck.
The opponent it faced was not very strong. The deck itself was not very powerful, and there was no special Fate attribute. The level was probably about the same as the average level of ordinary duelists in the outside world, and even worse than the students of the Duel Academy.
If the opponents are all like this, it is obviously unlikely that the Skeleton King will be defeated.
However, after watching for a while, You Xuan had an idea of the level of this Bone King Priest.
Maybe there is some power of destiny, but it is not too strong. And knowing the deck used by the opponent in advance, it should not be difficult to win.
In just three or two moves, the second man was defeated, and his soul was sucked into the air along with the green light rising into the sky.
The Skeleton King: "Next!"
The two skeletons, one tall and one short, who were responsible for escorting You Xuan were turning around to escort the sacrifice up, but they were stunned when they looked at his original position.
Where is the sacrificer?
When they looked up again in confusion, they were shocked to see that the sacrifice they were responsible for had actually climbed onto the altar on its own after the previous sacrifice.
Skeletons: “?”
This development made the believers in the room a little stunned, and they all cast inquiring glances at the tall and short duo. It was as if they were asking, where did you find such a sacrifice with such strong subjective initiative?
The tall skeleton opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping for a while before he could not help but said to the short skeleton beside him: "He is indeed a believer in the true God!"
And in order to make the ceremony a success, he was so determined to sacrifice himself.
The high-ranking believer reflected on himself and felt that he could never match such a firm belief. The back of You Xuan on the altar suddenly seemed much taller in his eyes.
Even the Skeleton King was a little bit stumped when he saw this scene. It was You Xuan who unfolded the duel disk. After waiting for a while, he saw that there was no movement from the other side. He felt a little impatient: "Brother, are you going to sacrifice or not? If not, I will leave."
The Skeleton King: “.”
