Chapter 947 Black Sun Ritual
Osaka.
In the sky above the ruined city, Lin Qiye slowly sheathed [Zhan Bai], letting out a long breath as weariness appeared in his eyes.
He looked down at the city below, where black sword marks intertwined to form a large circle about two kilometers in radius, with intricate patterns spread throughout the circle, creating a dizzying sight.
This was Lin Qiye’s first time drawing such a large-scale magic array, and also his first time truly using a “forbidden spell.” In [Merlin’s Forbidden Spell Codex], this was one of the few forbidden spells that Lin Qiye could currently use.
“That should do it…”
Lin Qiye muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Heidu and the other two caretakers dragged the bodies of two corpse beasts back to Lin Qiye’s side, following his instructions to place them, along with the two corpse beasts just slain by Youri Takeshiro, at the center of the forbidden spell.
Although these corpse beasts were created by Red Moon contamination, they still contained large amounts of divine power residue, making them perfect fuel for this forbidden spell. As for the remaining Red Moon power within them, as long as it wasn’t used for dimensional summoning, it wouldn’t cause significant negative effects.
Lin Qiye returned to the McLaren, lightly tapped its body, and the pixel-constructed vehicle quickly disassembled. A heavy silver stele fell from the chassis with a dull thud.
The stele was only about a meter in length and width, but was made of an unknown material that made it incredibly heavy. Its surface was covered in dense, mysterious symbols that looked like celestial writing.
So this is the [Heart of Purification]…
Lin Qiye placed his palm on the surface of the stele and infused his spiritual power into it. The mysterious text on the stele’s surface instantly lit up.
A holy and pure aura immediately emanated from the stele’s surface, like invisible ripples rapidly spreading from the ruins, extending toward the entire “human circle” at an astonishing speed.
In an instant, the corpse beasts that had descended across the “human circle” seemed to sense something, suddenly turning their heads toward the direction of the [Heart of Purification], their blood-red eyes gleaming with disgust.
They opened their mouths and roared angrily, then abandoned the ruined city and the desperately fleeing crowds, rushing rapidly toward Osaka!
As consecutive roars echoed from the distance, Lin Qiye, standing at the center of Osaka, narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the horizon, three corpse beasts were approaching from different directions, trampling through the broken city like raging beasts.
The corpse beasts were distributed at different locations, at varying distances from Osaka. From the moment the [Heart of Purification] activated, endless waves of corpse beasts would surge toward this location one after another.
Watching the three corpse beasts rapidly approach, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his eyes tinged with magical light.
He opened his mouth, and obscure, deep chanting emerged from his throat, echoing above the ruins.
As the chanting rose, the massive magic array in the city center began to light up along the black marks on its periphery. Streams of deep red magical light converged toward the center, outlining a huge spherical form hovering above the city.
As magical light poured in, the massive sphere became increasingly solid, gradually evolving into a black sun hundreds of meters high, suspended beneath the dim sky.
A terrifying wave of energy suddenly descended!
Forbidden spell, [Black Sun Ritual].
“What is that?!”
“A sun! A black sun!!”
“God, what’s happening to this world? First monsters, now a black sun…”
“Hahaha! Let it all be destroyed! Let everything be destroyed!”
“Look! Under that black sun, there’s a deep red figure standing!”
“…”
The appearance of this black giant sun immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Osaka. Even some distant cities could see the light emitted by this miniature sun, fear and worry appearing in their eyes.
Lin Qiye’s chanting became increasingly urgent, and the magic array carved into the ruins brightened to its extreme.
The next moment, the surface of the black sun suspended in the sky suddenly contracted, and a grotesque deep red vertical eye opened, emitting an eerie red light!
Lin Qiye finished his chant, his face slightly pale. He calmly extended his hand, pointing at the three rapidly approaching corpse beasts in the distance.
“Destroy.”
Boom–!!
A terrifying deep red beam burst forth from the vertical eye, instantly piercing through the void and landing in front of the three corpse beasts. A horrific explosion erupted, the red light turning the distant sky blood-red.
As the light dissipated and dust settled, the bodies of the three corpse beasts had been blasted to pieces, disappearing completely.
One attack had instantly killed three “Limitless” realm corpse beasts.
Before the people who witnessed this could exclaim in shock, Lin Qiye turned his head toward two corpse beasts charging from the west and calmly said:
“Destroy.”
The vertical eye on the black sun’s surface rapidly turned toward the corpse beasts’ direction, shooting out a deep red beam that once again instantly killed two corpse beasts attracted by the [Heart of Purification].
“Destroy.”
“Destroy.”
“…”
As Lin Qiye’s calm voice continued to sound, the black sun hanging above his head became like a tireless destruction battery, frantically shooting out deep red light, killing the waves of corpse beasts coming from all directions.
Killing “Limitless” realm corpse beasts required only one shot; only a few suddenly appearing “Klein” realm corpse beasts needed three to four shots.
Every time a corpse beast was killed, Heidu and the other two caretakers would quickly go to collect the corpse beast’s remains, piling them back at the center of the magic array, recycling them as fuel for the forbidden spell to sustain the [Black Sun Ritual].
Although Lin Qiye himself was only at the “Limitless” realm, with this pre-arranged forbidden spell array and the corpse beast bodies containing enormous energy as fuel, the number of corpse beasts dying at his hands was rapidly climbing!
Just as Merlin said, mages excel at positional warfare.
The combination of [Heart of Purification] and [Black Sun Ritual] turned the center of Osaka into a death mill for corpse beasts.
But Lin Qiye knew clearly that this seemingly advantageous situation wouldn’t last long.
As long as the Red Moon’s contamination continued to corrode the Yata Mirror, corpse beasts would keep descending endlessly, and the rate at which [Black Sun Ritual] killed them was far slower than their descent. As time passed, the number of corpse beasts simultaneously attacking this location would rapidly increase.
Once this number exceeded the load capacity of [Black Sun Ritual], it would only be a matter of time before this place was breached by the corpse beasts.
