Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 433: Dusk Omen

Chapter 433: Dusk Omen
Just as Wayne was adapting to the surging power, the highest mountain in the western continent, Mount Brittany.

The entire Brittany mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, but there are few dense jungles on it, and more towering churches built on the mountains.

From the eastern foot of the Brittany Mountains all the way west, there is a church every ten kilometers or so.

These churches are made entirely of brightly colored red crystal, as beautiful as rubies.

The symbol of the Red Moon Church on the church - a red moon emitting a strange light, illuminating the entire church bright red.

If you look down from a high place, you can even see that the Brittany Mountains are dyed the color of the red moon.

The clergy of the Red Moon Church live here!
At this moment, at the highest point of the Brittany Mountains, the magnificent church standing on the top of the mountain is called "Megdalena".

This church is built with countless huge red crystals, each of which is engraved with complex alchemical runes and sparkles with deep red light.

Under the glow of the red moon at night, these crystals look like red streams of light, making the entire Magdalena Cathedral more gorgeous, like a burning flame.

Entering the church, there is a spacious hall with a red carpet in the middle. On the altar at the deepest part is a huge holy book, and its cover is inlaid with a glowing red moonstone.

Before this holy scripture, the head of the Red Moon Church, Kimberly Lloyd, dressed in a red and gold striped robe, stared coldly at the archbishops in front of her.

"Archbishop Edras Korda, Saint Mirjam Roman, and the two knights of the Silver Moon and Fantasy Knights disappeared without a trace."

"Who can tell me what happened on Red Moon Island?"

The handsome faces of the archbishops were also confused. They looked at each other, and the leader, Patricio Calvo, stepped forward, knelt on one knee and said:
"Chief Kimberly, we don't know much about what's happening on Red Moon Island. If we want to find out more, I'm afraid we need to arrange for more people to go there."

"We have to send people," Kimberly said calmly, with a face as beautiful as a painting, full of indifference: "But I think if we arrange for the archbishop or the saint to go, the result will be the same."

"That's right, what the leader said is correct, and this is what we are worried about."

"Besides, now that the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' has begun, the great Lady Red Moon has already issued an oracle, asking us to defend the Western Continent and wait for the follow-up to unfold."

Another archbishop agreed, "So I don't recommend going to investigate Red Moon Island now."

"Then you won't ask about the disappearance of Edlas Korda and others?"

"Missing? Bishop Patricio, with your ability, you should not be so naive. If they hadn't had an accident, it would be impossible for them not to contact the Magdalena Church for two days in a row."

Patricio glanced sideways, then looked up at Headmaster Kimberly in front of him and said:
"I apply to go to Red Moon Island to investigate this matter!"

"you?"

Kimberly frowned, turned around and looked at the Holy Scripture, her long robe fluttering, revealing two plump, crystal clear legs.

"The secrets of a great being are hidden on Red Moon Island, and they must not be lost. Your power alone is not enough to investigate there."

"What does the headmaster mean?"

"I will go to Red Moon Island myself!"

"What?! You want to go there in person? No way!"

Seeing that the chief was going to the deep sea to investigate the Red Moon Island incident in person, several archbishops hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"It's too dangerous. The deep sea is not just about Red Moon Island. There is also the crisis of 'Deep Sea Doomsday'. People from the Dusk Sect and the three major wizard schools are there. If you go there in person, I'm worried..."

Before Patricio could finish, Kimberly interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "I have made the decision!"

"After I leave, Magdalena will be left to you to guard. Make sure there are no mistakes."

"I'll let you know after I finish investigating Red Moon Island."

Seeing her determination, several archbishops looked at each other and couldn't help showing a sad expression.

The leader of the Orthodox Church is different from those in the Evil God Sect. A clergyman like Kimberly is not only the most powerful clergyman in the Red Moon Church, but more importantly, she can get in touch with Ms. Red Moon at any time.

Many critical moments, such as the advent of an oracle or when the Red Moon Church faces a life-and-death crisis, require the head of the church to be in charge of the Magdalena Church.

"In addition to what I just told you, we must also arrange for appropriate personnel to go when the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' spreads to the Western Continent."

Kimberly turned her back to the crowd and looked towards the ruby-encrusted holy book and altar not far away, saying:
"The people affected by this 'Deep Sea Doomsday' will be people that our Red Moon Church can easily recruit."

"You must focus on this matter, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Cult Leader!"

Kimberly waved again, indicating that they could leave first.

After the entire church was empty, Kimberly turned around and looked at the empty red-carpeted corridor, her clear eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"confusion……"

"Chaos is coming, Hongyue can't hold on any longer!"

Kimberly was filled with murderous intent, her entire figure blurred and she had already left the Magdalena Church.

……

Thick dark clouds gathered over the entire Cordo Sea. Wherever storms and waves hit the sea, deep-sea species and mutant species appeared everywhere.

After midnight, the red moon emerges.

Even dark clouds cannot block the bright light of the red moon.

Countless deep-sea species were swept to the surface of the sea by the raging waves. The moment they were illuminated by the red moon, their entire bodies began to horribly deform and transformed into terrifying deep-sea mutant species.

Those ships struggling on the sea are now resisting the attacks of deep-sea mutants while trying to survive on the bumpy and swaying ships.

"Damn it, we're almost at Alexei Island, hold on everyone!"

"We must hold on. We only have 500 kilometers left. I can already see the lighthouse of Alexei Island!"

The captain's roar was drowned out by the sound of huge waves, and the roaring deep-sea mutant waved its tentacles and swept towards the ship.

Except for a few people who tried hard to protect the light of the Dawn Candle, the rest of the crew members on the deck gritted their teeth and persevered, bursting out the little remaining original power in their bodies to repel the deep-sea mutants one by one.

"Roar--"

"Damn, here comes a big one!"

The people on the boat couldn't help but despair, looking up at the deep-sea mutant above them, which was so huge that one of its tentacle was bigger than the boat.

"I really don't want to give up. It's almost there, it's almost there..."

At this moment, a ray of light came in an instant from the direction of Alexei Island and cut the tentacle in half.

The tentacles fell as dark green blood splattered.

boom!
The tentacles were blocked, and the people on the boat were still screaming in despair, but in a trance they saw a goddess in platinum armor.

"You, continue sailing towards Alexei Island!"

A cold voice was heard, and it was from the "heroic" Saint Xizi Sepulda of the Church of Dawn. The sword she wielded was burning with the glory of dawn. The dazzling light cut through the night sky, and several deep-sea mutants around her turned into fragments and scattered in the deep sea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Saint!"

The captain was relieved and quickly controlled the ship to continue heading towards Alexei Island.

"Great, saved!"

"It's Her Majesty the Saint of the Church of Dawn!"

"grateful……"

Such a scene took place within a thousand kilometers of the sea area near Alexei Island. Not only Xizi Sepulda, but also Carly and Melbelle led the Blasphemous Knights to guard one direction and try to guide the ships fleeing in the deep sea.

The same is true for the two saints of the Storm Church, Freedom and Lei Ming.

Ever since Wayne agreed that both the Dawn and Storm Churches could preach on the island, the four saints left Alexei Island to guard the four directions.

Any ship that could get close to Alexei Island was found and rescued by them.

When these people docked at the temporary port, in addition to being grateful for being alive, their favorability towards the Orthodox Church soared.

At this time, it was the turn of the church clergy who stayed behind at the port to appear and preach the doctrines of their respective churches to those who had survived by chance.

The effect is obvious. Many people have accepted the Covenant of Storm or Dawn and are determined to believe in the great gods!

"Damn you bastard woman!"

However, at this time, some people on Alexei Island were not in a good mood.

For example, Mitra.

While she was gritting her teeth and cursing that woman Claire, she was reading and categorizing the intelligence transmitted by various parties.

Ubley and Old Jack beside them lowered their heads, looking at the information in their hands with serious expressions, and did not make any comments on Mitra's curse.

They knew very well that whoever spoke at this time would be scolded.

"that……"

At this time, Ubli raised a piece of parchment and said, "I have a strange piece of information here..."

"bring here!"

Mithra snatched the parchment fiercely and started to read it, his angry face showing a stunned expression.

"A large amount of blood appeared in the western sea area?"

"Blood...what kind of information is this?"

"Take a look below," Ubley pointed at the bottom of the intelligence, "there is a photo there. It looks to me like an island of corpses."

When Mitra saw the last part, his brows furrowed and his expression instantly became serious.

She was very familiar with the scene in the photo.

Once, she went to the Cult of Desire with the Archbishop of the Cult of Desire to participate in a sacrificial ceremony.

I remember it was the same at that time. The people of the Cult of Despair prepared a mountain of corpses, stacked countless corpses together, and drew a sacrificial magic circle that was stained scarlet with blood.

"Is this a certain being that is initiating a sacrifice... in the deep sea?"

Mitra thought for a moment and recalled what Wayne said about the Twilight Cult setting up a sacrificial ceremony in the deep sea.

"Twilight Cult?"

"Their sacrificial ceremony is about to begin!?"

Ubley and Old Jack looked at each other and said, "No way? I remember Wizard Wayne said that the Twilight Cult will open the gate two days later."

"And the sacrificial ceremony they prepared was on the island, but the one in the photo was made up entirely of corpses, with not even a reef underneath..."

"No! It is precisely because of this that I suspect that their sacrificial ceremony has begun!"

Although Mitra's strength is not much different from that of Ubli and Old Jack, as a follower of the evil god sect, she has witnessed many of the evil god sect's horrific methods.

Just like the mountain of corpses in the photo, it is the node of a ritual formation.

The reason why she thought of the Twilight Sect was because the blood flowing around the mountain of corpses had spread to cover the surface of the sea, and a strange mark formed by a gray light could be vaguely seen.

——It looked very much like the symbol of the Twilight Sect that she had seen before!
"It must be the Dusk Cult! Quick, Ubli, take this information to find Legend Salvatore. Old Jack, go to the Guards and pass the information to Pavla, and ask her to notify those saints."

Mitra arranged without hesitation: "I will go and get everyone on the island to take action!"

"be quick!"

"clear."

The three of them acted separately.

……

When Mitra and others noticed that something unexpected was happening in the deep sea again, Vaklav quietly appeared on Alexei Island.

Soon after, Velosa and Ragnar arrived.

The three of them gathered quietly on the tavern street on the island.

"It looks like He plans to take action tonight." Waklav changed his clothes and drank beer, but his eyes were looking out the window, as if he could penetrate space and see an extremely distant place.

"should be."

Velosa curled her lips and said, "I noticed it when I was rushing here. The sacrificial array set up by the Dusk Cult has a rotten smell. Even the alien space cannot isolate the strong and pungent smell!"

"'Fate' has abandoned McAllister," Ragnar's eyes showed the scale mark again, and he could vaguely see a few pictures in his sight. He smiled and said:
"Luckily, it turned out to be safe!"

Waklav remained noncommittal. He didn't think that the false god could cause any trouble with him in the deep sea.

Even though Salvatore had warned him before that someone was going to deal with him, he remained confident.

"Wizard Ragnar, is this all you saw? Do you know His specific location?" Velosa said with a stiff smile, looking thin and shriveled, "You are also the 'Favored One of Fate', how come your ability to predict is so much weaker than that of the Sea Raven Clan's Venerable?"

"The Raven Clan..." Ragnar thought of this name, and the connection between 'Fate Divination' and that clan emerged in his mind. He shook his head and said, "Their inheritance comes more from blood."

"Don't worry about the sea creatures in the deep sea,"

Seeing the two of them having an unfriendly exchange, Vaklav interrupted and said, "I only care about when the Twilight Cult will start the sacrificial ceremony, and where they will start the ceremony!"

"Give me a little more time!" Ragnar sighed helplessly, turned around and was about to cast the fate divination spell again.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Velosa and Vaklav looked towards the dark clouds in the west at the same time.

Suddenly saw——

The red moonlight at night disappeared!

There was no sign, and no changes occurred in the deep sea, but the red moon in the sky disappeared...

"It seems that you don't need to cast the 'Fate Spell' anymore!"

After waiting for a few seconds, Velosa saw a strange light in the distance.

After the red moon disappeared, a dim light appeared!

"Wizard Vaklav, what now?"

"Keep looking for the location of their ceremony!"

"it is good!"
