Mosen clearly saw the anomaly in that area as well, and he focused his attention on the energy level over there.
The war intent that had initially subsided due to various factors suddenly surged to a peak at this moment.
The terrifying war intent even caused the Mage Corps to halt its magic power transfer, and the tremors below gradually faded.
The Demon Swordsman's various beneficial magic was silently released, and his aura skyrocketed instantly, the intense pressure causing the Demon Lion to become restless.
The Mage Corps seemed to understand what their Legion Commander intended to do, and the magic power fluctuation flashed past, sending the floating ground swiftly towards the edge of the giant pit.
Beside him, Kami's gaze flickered, blocking Ernado who wanted to cast a spell, and gently shook his head at him.
"Roar~"
The Demon Lion let out a mighty roar, its demonic power overwhelming everything, carrying Mosen on its back as it leapt straight into the massive pit about three hundred meters deep and ran smoothly on the ruins.
Mosen's war intent grew ever stronger; the giant sword behind him trembled slightly, its terrifying pressure causing the smoke and dust to dissipate quickly.
In the instant the Demon Lion leaped, Mosen's aura finally reached its peak, and various increases along with the war intent in his heart birthed a towering but faint phantom.
He raised his sword, the phantom behind him synchronized with his actions.
Without any preamble, the ruins beneath the Demon Lion's feet solidified with a loud crash, and it exerted force, launching Mosen into the air.
Mosen's war intent behind the phantom became even more frightening, he raised the giant sword without uttering the name of the move but pushed his own magic power to the limit.
The Demon Swordsman's signature, the Silver Upper Tier's ultimate move [Celestial Demon Slash], was unleashed.
Carrying the colossal phantom, he plummeted fiercely, colliding suddenly with the blood-colored light shield.
Buzz~
A violent buzzing sound erupted, and the previously stable ground began to tremble again, the three-hundred-meter giant pit making the edges of the hole unstable, prompting many soldiers to retreat in an orderly fashion, expanding the encirclement.
One thousand five hundred men, seven hundred energy guns all aimed at the point of collision, while the rest gripped their giant swords or daggers, crouching low, ready to rush in for the kill after the fire suppression.
Powerful energy kept spilling out, solidifying the ruins on the ground with this strike.
The blood-colored shield before Mosen started to show some cracks, through which he could see hundreds of Blood Mages inside still reciting incantations, the copious blood almost filling the great hall within.
Mosen's war intent grew increasingly frightening, and the phantom behind him raised its sword once more, slicing down fiercely.
Boom!
A thunderous boom arose, the accumulation of power accelerating the shield's shattering abruptly.
Within the cracks, the blood inside began to gather, indicating that the people within had sensed the outside world and were attempting to disrupt or complete the sacrifice.
"Attach!"
Mosen growled low, the massive phantom behind him raised the giant sword high, abruptly collapsing upon slicing down, rushing madly into his body.
Buzz~
A strong buzzing sound emanated from Mosen's body, massive power seeking an outlet to flood out, swelling his body.
"Slash!"
Mosen growled low, the immense war intent in his eyes causing the giant sword to begin buzzing, he lifted the giant sword, delivering a strike so powerful that it made the space ripple.
Boom! Buzz~ Crack~
A great roar sounded, the blood color began to shatter, an endless stench rose skyward, seemingly reddening the clouds overhead, making even the snowflakes look somewhat crimson.
"Roar~"
A roar unlike that of a human sounded, and at the center of the sacrifice, a young Blood Mage in a blood robe suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, an absolutely evil terrifying aura flickering and disappearing, boundless divine power enveloping all of Dongwu City.
It was as if a mighty existence was about to approach, but was unwillingly rejected at the gate by an unknown force.
Yet that power was extremely reluctant, madly rushing towards the young Blood Mage.
"Roar~"
A crimson beam shot upwards, in front of the youth, a transparent crystal covered in cracks fell to the ground, endless blood tried to cling to the Treasure Pearl within it, but was firmly blocked by the crystal layer.
They seemed helpless, turning instead to follow the divine power's fluctuations, wildly rushing towards the young Mage.
Greater power burst from the young Mage's body, his eyes turned crimson, enduring pain he angrily growled: "Roar~"
Bang~ Crash~
With the arrival of the growl came a surge of immense energy, and at this moment the earth trembled, the aura roiled, everything but the Scarlet Sect was pushed away.
The blood-red shield, already punctured with a hole, shattered even further, the massive impact raising Mosen's war intent high but forcing him to retreat and narrowly avoid, pushed away along with the Demon Lion by the force.
Watching from the edge, a trace of solemnity flickered in Kami's eyes, the Blood Mage's power was ascending, unclear if it was due to using Ancient God Flesh...
If the Ancient God's Flesh truly merged with its believer, the consequences would be unimaginable...
"Always ready, you have only three chances, don't let him lose too quickly," she said softly to Ernado, she pulled out a device resembling a compass, walked to the edge of the giant pit, and boldly jumped down, disappearing into a passage.
Ernado's eyes were full of seriousness, though the plan was for him and Kami to enter together to search.
But now, the Blood Mage was about to reach the Golden Middle Tier, and only he and his sister could use the Will Clan's items, so he had to stay.
In the shadow outside the encirclement, a strange ripple flashed, it halted its advance, silently waiting in the corner for something.
"So strong?"
Baiyi murmured softly, swiftly opened a room, a panel scan quickly swept through all valuable items in the room, and finally took a Bronze Level weapon, quickly tapped the earpiece, then let go, and the weapon disappeared from its original place.
Baiyi quickly moved to the next room, it was now Golden Middle Tier, and still ascending.
If the Old City Lord didn't come out now, once it reached Golden Upper Tier, given Dongwu City's current capabilities, they might truly have to activate the Gundam at the East City Gate to overcome the crisis.
He began to abandon some low-value items, rapidly scanned through room after room.
Perhaps the actions of the Will and Apocalypse factions were too large, leading the Scarlet Sect members to run to the east, leaving the west vacant.
After traversing over ten rooms, one of the lenses in Baiyi's sunglasses abruptly stopped, his eyes full of contemplation.
The Scarlet Sect appeared to have centered around that casino, the underground of all buildings had been hollowed out, forming a small-scale underground city.
This indicated that the Scarlet Sect's presence in Dongwu City wasn't short-lived, merely those rich merchants didn't particularly care about the slum area.
As long as there weren't too frequent unnatural deaths, no one would care why there was a basement in a commoner's room.
Combined with some Inner City's wealthy merchant concealment and Adventurer's Guild's task models, allowing them ultimately to settle calmly in Dongwu City.
The worker bees in the sky began to ascend swiftly, and the map under the sunglasses grew increasingly clear.
Baiyi locked onto the sacrificial site, watching the surrounding buildings continuously from here, if this side only served as the members' residence, then the high-tier individuals wouldn't reside with ordinary members.
So... the Treasury wasn't over here.
If it were him, the Treasury's location would only be near the strongest's residence, with numerous traps arranged, so he must head east.
Thinking this, Baiyi decisively turned around, began shuttling along the map within the sunglasses.
At this time, the power of the Scarlet Sacrifice had already escalated to its peak, a low muttering arose.
"Blood will ultimately descend upon the world, Scarlet will cover the world, you group of godless pitiful people will pay a painful price for your disrespect to gods!"
The mighty presence of Golden Middle Tier descended with a roar!
