Chapter 1244: Chapter 1230: Sealing Crystal
Everyone cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
Afraid that a monster might suddenly jump out and launch an attack.
However.
At this moment.
One person’s skin suddenly began to turn red, as if being filled with blood. Lovka saw this and immediately had him retreat.
This was the Seed of Blood starting to affect his body.
If he continued to stay inside the church, he would mutate into a monster like that grotesque door before.
The member obediently complied.
Upon receiving the order, he immediately withdrew without any hesitation, executing perfectly.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
From the moment he entered the church, he had already noticed the disturbance in his internal energy, a special force that kept affecting his blood.
Like a blood manipulation spirit technique.
This was the Seed of Blood’s ability.
Others were affected to varying degrees, and it seemed the weaker one’s strength, the more severe the effect.
Everyone quickly searched the entire church.
Yet.
No trace of the Seed of Blood was found; instead, more people were being affected by its powers, reducing the once large group to just over ten people.
The others had already retreated.
Lovka and Joel stood to the left and right, conducting the final inspection of the church. The two had already visited the Sealing Object’s containment site, which was in the church’s repository, but found nothing.
The space was empty.
That seemed the most likely place for the Seed of Blood to be.
They searched the rest of the areas as well, but not only did they find no trace of the Seed of Blood, they didn’t even find anything else.
So.
The Seed of Blood was either inside the church or underground.
Only these two possibilities remained.
While Joel and Lovka were completing the final search, Baiyu turned his gaze towards the wall mural ahead.
It was a very exquisite mural.
Covering an entire wall.
It depicted a man covered in scars, slicing his palm, and the blood flowing from the wound coagulated into a blood orb, illuminating the dark path for a group of followers behind him.
This was clearly a mural with symbolic meaning.
It told of the Scar God sacrificing himself, illuminating the path ahead for those behind, with an air of martyrdom.
However.
Baiyu fixed his gaze on that mass of blood.
The blood didn’t look painted on; instead, it seemed like an actual clump of blood.
With a mindset to give it a try.
Baiyu gathered the Power of Destruction inside him and fiercely smashed it, directly obliterating the mural.
Joel and Lovka were stunned.
That was the Scar God’s mural. Attacking a deity of one’s faith, you could even say this person had apostasized.
Is this the style of the Scarred Church?
"I believe the Scar God will understand me."
Baiyu made a priestly gesture towards the two, smiled slightly, and seemed indifferent to this.
After the mural was shattered.
Sure enough, within the fractured wall, a mass of blood writhed continuously, exuding an enchanting aura.
The Seed of Blood!
The three of them instantly realized what this entity was.
Meanwhile, the others.
As soon as this mass of blood appeared, they couldn’t control the bloodthirsty desire within their hearts.
Lovka frowned, stomped hard on the ground with both feet, clasped his hands together, and softly chanted in Mystical Language: "Rock!"
The surrounding area instantly took on a yellowish hue, like a faded old photograph.
On the surface of the others’ bodies,
A layer of yellowish armor quickly covered them.
But this armor was more like a cage, enclosing these people together.
Lovka had considered this situation when he brought people in, and these weaker subordinates’ main role was to find the Seed of Blood.
Now that the Seed had been found.
There’s no further need for them.
Ensuring their safety is extremely important.
Once the others were covered by the earthen armor and turned into statue-like figures, the three exchanged glances and decided to proceed with sealing the Seed of Blood.
"I have a ’Sealing Crystal’ here, prepared earlier to deal with the Seed of Blood.
Both Captain Lovka and I have calculated.
To seal it.
Will take about five minutes.
During these five minutes, if it senses impending sealing, it will undoubtedly resist with all its might.
We need to hold out for five minutes."
As Joel spoke, he retrieved from his body a blue, cube-shaped object reminiscent of a Magic Cube, gently twisting it.
Upon the cube’s appearance.
The mass of blood suddenly writhed faster, seemingly extremely excited.
In an instant.
Numerous blood-red whips stretched out from all corners of the church, attempting to strangle the three.
The Seed of Blood sensed danger!
And.
It needed nourishment, and the three before it were perfect sustenance.
Whip after whip stretched forth.
Lovka’s entire body shook, earth creeping up the whips, freezing them entirely.
The whips reaching for Baiyu paused around him, as if searching for his presence.
In that previous instant.
Baiyu had already employed the Black Moon Secret Technique: Serenity.
This secret technique’s ability seemed lackluster when seen directly, but if the opponent couldn’t capture his location with their eyes, Serenity became quite useful.
It could shield his aura.
Making Baiyu seem like an invisible person at the sensory level.
And the Seed of Blood.
Clearly had no eyes.
The only eye it had already burst open on the door earlier, was blown by Baiyu with a punch.
Joel was holding the Sealing Crystal, continuously infusing energy, meaning the defense against the whips had to be left to Baiyu and Lovka.
He entrusted them with great confidence.
Because if the two failed, his life could be at risk.
Fortunately.
Baiyu’s Black Moon Secret Technique didn’t just work on himself; he also extended a Serenity Effect to Joel.
Thus, the church.
Fell into an eerie dead silence.
Yet at this time.
Baiyu suddenly felt a surge of desire to directly blow off Joel and Lovka’s heads and constantly worried whether the two would conspire against him.
This was the influence of the Seed of Blood.
Baiyu realized and directly suppressed this odd sensation with willpower.
He looked at Joel and Lovka.
Noticing their faces were equally grim, clearly affected by the Seed of Blood.
However.
The three of them restrained this impulse with willpower.
Time ticked by second by second.
At this moment.
The Sealing Crystal emitted an exceedingly brilliant light, completely enveloping the Seed of Blood.
But from the shadows.
A shadow suddenly shot out.
Directly rushing towards Joel, who held the Sealing Crystal.
