Chapter 1881: 523 Purgatory Domain and True Dragon Fragment_2
It is said that this family still preserves a portion of their faith in the Supreme True Dragon.
Matthew had been skeptical when he first heard about it.
After all, in the years of turmoil under the Pentashade Dragon God Baruch, aside from a very few Astral Drakonids, the faith in the Supreme True Dragon had all but disappeared.
However, after seeing the totems on the demons accompanying Dragon Girl Sandrine,
Matthew realized that this familyâs preservation of faith in the Supreme True Dragon might indeed be true.
But, unfortunately,
âThe Ritual failed.â
âThe Supreme True Dragon did not heed her sacrifice.â
âI even doubt whether their faith was truly heard by the Supreme True Dragon.â
âHa, the offerings were all snapped up by some glutton from the astral world, but she seems to have no clue right now.â
Camelaâs sharp critique echoed in Matthewâs mind.
As a Legendary Priest who was almost extinct in this era,
Camela naturally possessed extreme authority in matters related to faith and sacrifice.
Sure enough,
It wasnât long before,
All the braziers on the square were extinguished at the same time.
The seven female devils circling around Dragon Girl also suddenly fell silent in unisonâ
They seemed to have been choked, no longer capable of their previous ease in chanting.
On the platform,
Dragon Girl Sandrine suddenly opened her eyes.
The next second,
A massive vortex opened in the space before her.
Then,
An indistinct black lump of flesh fell from the rift crack.
Sandrineâs body burst into orange-red flames.
The flames enveloped the black lump, and soon, sharp and painful screams emanated from within the fire.
The female devils surrounding the edge of the flames dispersed in time,
And the Purgatory Monks on the square also left under the dispersal of little devils and other middle-ranking demons.
For a moment,
The entire Underground Space became dark and silent.
Only the flames on the platform continued to fiercely grapple with the black lump of flesh.
About ten minutes later,
The black lump finally turned into a pitch-black stone.
The flames around Sandrine gradually faded away,
But she still bore some Light on her body,
Making her appear somewhat divine in the dimly lit Underground Space, while also laying bare the weariness on her face.
âSo thatâs how it is.â
âShe never intended to truly communicate with the Supreme True Dragon from the beginning; she merely used the Ritual to deliberately lure some astral Evil God to intercept, then baited them into falling for it, in order to obtain what she wantedâŠâ
Camelaâs voice became more animated.
And during their communication,
Matthew had already activated his Invisible Magic Ball and stealthily approached the platform; Lorraine, who was acting alone, had also arrived from the other side.
Sandrine silently secured the black object,
Then with sharp eyes, she scanned the surrounding area:
âWho dare to trespass the Seistan Familyâs secret Ritual?â
âYou have quite the nerve.â
âSeems youâre not ordinary thieves.â
Matthew had not intended to ambush,
So he emerged on cue:
âOf course, ordinary thieves wouldnât have the guts.â
âI apologize for our relatively impolite manner of approach, but we had no choice.â
âAfter all, getting an audience with you is not an easy feat.â
Sandrine looked at Matthewâs face:
âTiefling? Ha, clearly in disguise⊠Never mind, I canât be bothered to care.â
âI heard someone in the market district today inquiring about the Nine Prisons Document; I didnât expect you to come so quickly.â
âBut youâre not the first ones to look for me.â
âAnd my response is the same as it has been to those beforeâ
The Seistan family will not hand over the Nine Prisons Document to others.
Neither for borrowing nor sale.
Itâs absolutely impossible!â
âYou have desecrated the Ritual and blasphemed the sacred land; I should punish you.â
âBut Iâm in a good mood today, so Iâll give you a chanceâ
Leave now!
Donât let me see you in Blood Sand City.
Otherwise, my Dragon Fire will burn you to Ashes!â
Hearing this,
Lorraine couldnât help but whistle.
A smile appeared on Camelaâs face.
Only Matthew appeared rather solemn:
âYour threats are of no use to us; weâve come with sincerity, hoping to resolve some issues between us.â
âIâve heard of some matters, the Seistan familyâs trading caravan was wiped out just outside the city recently, barely saving the Nine Prisons Document.â
âDespite rumors blaming a Demon Lord, what really transpired you surely know better than us. The Kain Family and the White Devil Familyâs oppression of the Seistan has lasted for decades, and I greatly admire your courage and perseverance in standing alone.â
âBut in fact, the situation of the Seistan family hasnât improved; itâs even worse than before, isnât it?â
Sandrineâs tone grew colder:
âItâs not the place of a tiefling newcomer to meddle in the Seistan familyâs internal affairs.â
Matthew shrugged:
âNothing is absolute, a little more flexibility might just turn things around.â
âYou guessed correctly; we need a Nine Prisons Document for a certain purpose.â
âBut that doesnât mean we will be monopolizing it for too long.â
âOn the contrary, we will offer substantial sincerity for this cooperationâat least confident that we can change the dynamics of the Seistanâs underworld.â
Sandrineâs eyes narrowed to slits:
âYou only need the Nine Prisons Document for a one-time deed?â
âWhich Purgatory Lord do you plan on striking?â
Matthewâs eyelid twitched.
This female devilâs response was sharp indeedâ
Or perhaps,
Using the Nine Prisons Document to launch a stealth attack on a Purgatory Lord has already become common practice in purgatory?
