Chapter 30: Lanevus, Pregnant!
Late at night, in the square in front of the inpatient building of the Tingen City Mental Asylum.
Lanevus casually placed his fiancée on a table in the square, letting her beautiful face come into direct contact with the cold surface.
"This is equivalent to an altar."
He pointed at the table.
"this,"
He pointed at Lu Ze and said, "It's like a sacrifice."
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!"
There was a sound of hurried running from the other side of the square, and a man who looked like a mental hospital guard ran over and shouted.
Lanevus paused, glanced at the guard, and then put on a sincere smile. "Ah, I'm so sorry. My fiancée suddenly fell ill, and I rushed in to save her."
"Then hurry up and get her inside. There should be a doctor on duty." The guard heard him say that, and seeing that the girl looked unconscious, he relaxed his vigilance a lot. "I'll show you the way."
Before he could finish his words, Lanevus rushed up to him swiftly and plunged a gleaming dagger into his heart.
The guard was completely caught off guard by the other party's attack. His face was distorted, he twitched a few times and then died.
"puff."
Lanevus pulled out the dagger, and blood spurted out from the wound, splashing all over his face and body.
"Why didn't you wait for me to make a move?"
Hood Eugen looked furious. "You've caused so much trouble, and you still think it's not troublesome enough!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry. He's the one who disturbed my fun," Lanevus said with a casual laugh, pointing at the guard's body. "Since it's such a coincidence, let's use him as a sacrifice."
Lu Ze didn't expect that the unexpected guard would block the knife for him.
The night wind blew, and his heart grew colder as he watched the two men prepare the altar. Lanevus enlarged the guard's wound, causing his blood to pool on the ground. Hud Eugen constructed a spiritual wall, isolating himself from the outside.
"Here, hold it high."
Lanevus handed the gas lamp to Luze. Luze feigned bewilderment, then obediently took it and held it high above his head. The orange light illuminated the area around the table. On the table lay the unconscious blonde girl, and beneath it lay the bleeding body of a guard.
"I'm going to wake up my fiancée and use your powers to hypnotize her."
He then addressed Hood Eugen.
Seeing the latter nod, he patted the girl's face. His hands were stained with blood, and the girl's pretty face had a few horrible bloodstains.
"Well, where am I?"
The girl woke up in a daze, but when she opened her eyes she heard a crisp sound of bells, and immediately became dazed again.
"Megose, my dear fiancée, it's me."
Lanevus whispered in the girl's ear in the sweetest tones of a lover, smearing the deceased's foul blood on her face. "Look, aren't we in bed at home now?"
Lanr Us
The girl's name seemed to be Megose. When she heard her fiancé's voice, a happy smile appeared on her confused face, "I love you so much."
"I love you too."
Lanevus dipped his hand in blood and quickly drew a sinister and frenzied pattern on the tabletop. It was a magic circle used to summon the evil god. Hude Eugen stood nearby, listening to Lanevus's sweet talk and watching his men's actions with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Luze glanced at the magic circle out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to find that Lanevus had drawn it so quickly and accurately. The magic circle had three centers: Lanevus, the caster; Megose, the receiver; and the final one, naturally, the true creator of the Advent, represented by his holy emblem.
"Are you ready?"
Seeing the magic circle drawn with blood gradually taking shape, Hood Eugen's tone was filled with tension.
"alright."
Lanevus finished the last stroke and jumped to his proper position. He then leaned over to Megose and said, "Dear, I want to have a child with you."
His tone was very emotional, but his eyes did not fluctuate at all.
"Lanevers, I'm willing to do anything for you."
Poor Megose had no idea that she was hypnotized and smiled shyly with a dazed look in her eyes.
Seeing Lanevus's mouth curl up in mockery once again, Luze stood up and prayed loudly in Hermetic:
"The Lord who created everything,
The Lord behind the veil of shadows,
The fallen nature of all living beings."
The world grew dark and silent. The blood on the magic circle became an incomparably bright crimson, especially the holy emblem representing the true Creator. The simple rose, drawn with a single stroke, seemed almost alive, swaying under the gaslight. The body of the deceased guard slowly blended into the darkness, vanishing without a trace.
Lanevus pulled an iron box from his bosom and removed the spiritual wall that sealed the box. A resentment so heavy it felt tangible emanated from the box.
"It's a ritual, a collection of extreme emotions from the ghetto."
He explained to Hood Eugen with a smile, but the latter just pursed his lips with a pale face and said nothing, with a few drops of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Don't be nervous."
Lanevus remained surprisingly relaxed at this moment. "The ceremony will go smoothly."
He placed the box on the Holy Emblem of the True Creator and opened the lid. Black resentment surged out, dispersing in all directions. But before the black energy could dissipate, a blood-red glow suddenly lit up from the magic circle, drawing the black energy back. The black energy gathered and gradually formed a shape.
It seems to be a human figure.
The figure turned his head slightly, scanning everyone with seemingly nonexistent eyes. Perhaps it was Lu Ze's illusion, but that gaze lingered on him for a moment longer.
boom!
Lu Ze's brain felt the shock again, but fortunately the tide had appeared in advance and blocked most of the shock. There was no doubt that this phantom came from the real creator!
Seeing the shadow, Hood Eugen took a step back in shock, but still held the bell tightly.
"here you go."
Lanevus praised him, then looked at the shadow whose details were unclear and continued chanting in Hermetic:
"May the mercy of God be ever present on earth, and may God bestow His grace upon the pure maiden, bringing forth a holy offspring."
Along with the prayers, the black figure made another move. He raised his arm and extended his index finger. A pure and corrupt light flew out from his fingertips and slowly drifted towards the lying Megose.
Lu Ze sensed extreme danger in that glimmer of light. There was no doubt that it was a bit of divinity from the true Creator!
Megose was still immersed in a beautiful dream, calling out her lover's name, completely unaware that disaster was about to befall her.
"God's gift!"
Lanevus stared at the ray of light with greedy and excited eyes, watching it fly towards his fiancée with anticipation.
The ceremony, the ceremony is about to succeed!
At this moment, Lu Ze moved without warning.
With a swish, he pressed his fingers on the magic circle, stained them with the blood of the magic circle, and drew quickly and accurately. With just a few strokes, he changed the original pattern of the magic circle and swapped the positions of the caster and the receiver.
Lanevus was just gaping open-mouthed, waiting in ecstasy for the divine power to descend upon his fiancée, when he suddenly saw the ray of light turn a corner and fly into his mouth.
With a gulp, he swallowed it unconsciously.
The next chapter, The Road to Pregnancy, is a grand series!
