The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 244 Seraph, Malchekid!
"I heard it, I finally heard it, a revelation from the stars."

"As expected, the stars never abandoned me!"

Inside the smelly, messy, and shabby little house.

The Star Sorcerer Hudson smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at the magic circle of stones arranged in a star pattern in front of him and began to chant a frenzied incantation in a low voice.

Over the past decade or two, he has repeatedly performed rituals to receive blessings from the stars and has gained ever greater power.

Even Hudson himself didn't know how powerful he was now, but it was clearly far greater than the respected mages he usually saw.

Unfortunately, his magic system seemed to be very different from that of ordinary mages, and in order not to expose his special abilities, he could only pretend to be an ordinary person.

As the magic circle in front of him lit up, Hudson was engulfed by the dazzling starlight and disappeared from the spot.

……

Inside the military camp in Eldoron.

Elian was gazing at the shimmering light on the mirror.

—This is exactly what the sorcerer Hudson saw!

Now that this strange man who believed in the stars had been discovered, Elion had naturally made preparations over the years.

Elian had long ago secretly implanted the "soul imprint" into the sorcerer's soul.

Just like what they did to Princess Leah.

At this moment, inside the military camp, the dwarf priest Bagg, the silver dragon Frostsnow, the sun elf princess Lia, and many others also looked at the scene reflected in the mirror.

The dazzling light faded from the mirror, and what Hudson saw also appeared in the mirror.

It was a vast seaside, with snow-white waves crashing against the beach.

Not far away, there were floating eye demons surrounding their matriarch like stars around the moon.

"As expected, Hudson went to see the God of the Eyes."

"The Star Sorcerer, the God of the Eye, and possibly even the Mind Flayer fleet."

"This is a collaboration among multiple Outer God forces!"

"What exactly are they trying to do by getting together like this?"

Elian's thoughts drifted, and he realized the seriousness of the situation.

……

Upon seeing the Great Matriarch, the Eye Demon Goddess, who resembled a giant, floating sphere, a fanatical expression suddenly appeared on Hudson's face.

Are these creatures from the stars, from beyond this world?
It's so solemn and beautiful!
The sorcerer, a believer in the stars, immediately revealed a fawning smile and knelt on the ground:
"Praise be to you, the embodiment of nightmares, the manifestation of nightmares, the creator of the most perfect creature in the world."

—This is the information revealed to him in the "Starry Sky Revelation".

The First Mistress glanced indifferently at the insignificant mortals below, her enormous, ugly eyeballs blinking:

"Stop talking nonsense and go do what you're supposed to do."

Hudson bowed to the giant eyeball in the sky, said nothing, and walked towards the magnificent seaside.

There, hundreds of Star Sorcerers had already gathered.

Among them were orcs, goblins, kobolds, and a few humans, elves, dwarves, and giants.

They were mortals from different regions, drawn by the stars over the past decade or two, who had recently received celestial guidance and arrived at this seaside. Each of them shared a face as fervent as Hudson's.

Hundreds of sorcerers drew a giant magic circle on the beach, and danced and sang frenzied songs around it.
"Only the stars can offer us salvation."

"Please save us, visitors from the stars."

"A more advanced, civilized, and intelligent race, destroy this ignorant world, dominate and guide us, and create a great nation!"

"..."

A cacophony of songs in many different languages ​​echoed across the beach, the sea, and the blue sky, harmonizing with the sound of the waves.

Hudson joined the group of sorcerers, dancing and singing wildly with them, channeling their life force into the magic circle.

As the power of each sorcerer was incorporated, the magic circle drawn on the beach began to glow with dazzling starlight.

It was as if a gate to the starry sky was slowly unfolding.

—The sinister, secretive, high-cost rituals that borrow the power of higher beings—these are the strengths of warlocks! ...

"These people look like lunatics. What are they doing?"

Is this some kind of cult ritual?

Princess Lia frowned as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Even just listening to this frenzied song, she could feel the blasphemy within it!

Elian remained silent, merely observing the ritual reflected in the mirror, and based on his knowledge of occultism, he deduced:
"Don't worry, it looks like this is a ritual that will last for a very long time."

"To complete this, it would have to be done every day, and it would probably take several years."

The dwarven high priest Bagg stood on tiptoe, carefully examining the mirror on the table, and asked Elian beside him with a serious expression:

"What will happen if this ritual succeeds?"

As a priest, he casts divine spells based on intuition, and his understanding of magical knowledge is far inferior to that of a mage.

Elian carefully examined the runes, symbols, and arcane signs within the magic circle, analyzing their underlying principles.

If other mages of this era lacked understanding of the ritual magic of the Star Evil Sorcerers, they probably wouldn't have been able to discover any valuable information.

But Elian was different; coming from the future, he had already witnessed many sorcerers' bizarre and sinister rituals.

Elian narrowed his eyes:

"This is the gateway and bridge to the stars."

"Once this ritual is completed, we should be able to summon certain things from the stars directly to the earth."

"My elven friends should remember that there is indeed a threat in the starry sky that is heading towards our world."

Things in the starry sky?

A threat heading towards our world?
Upon hearing Elian's hint, the elves present all thought of the same thing.

—A fleet of mind flayers from the stars!
Seymour was startled:
"Wait, wait, Your Majesty Elion, do you mean those Mind Flayers?"

"Is this ritual related to those octopus-headed creatures with psychic abilities?"

Back then, the Mind Flayer kidnapped Princess Leah and displayed strange psychic powers, but it left him with considerable psychological trauma.

Moreover, the Mind Flayer who was captured and interrogated mentioned that a powerful fleet would arrive in the future!

El-Erian nodded:

"I initially suspect that it is related to this."

He did not want to reveal his knowledge of the Outer Gods, but only used hints to make the elves make connections.

Mind Flayer...

Leah clenched her fists slightly, recalling the green dragon with the deformed brain on its back, and those strange octopus heads.

Ugly floating eyeballs, mind-controlling octopus heads, and malevolent spellcasters... Are all these bizarre, deformed, twisted, and blasphemous things in the same group?
"What Mind Flayer? What are you talking about?" Lady Silver Dragon, Frost, and the others looked slightly bewildered.

Just as Leah was about to give a brief explanation about the Mind Flayers, she saw the scene in the mirror change.

……

The Great Matriarch, the Goddess of the Eyes, flew above the shimmering starlight magic circle, opened her blood-red maw, and spoke to the mysterious being possessing her:

"Alright, stop possessing me. Come out now, Seraphim."

"This is a collaboration between the two of us, so don't even think about slacking off. Hurry up and finish your task."

"Malkekid!"

Then, a pure white humanoid figure slowly separated from the Great Mistress's body.

The pure white figure gradually solidified, revealing its original form.

He was a robust man with pure white wings, radiating a divine glow.

The instant he saw the angel's face, Elian recognized the mysterious man's identity—

One of the three highest-ranking angels in Avangard, who once belonged to Corilon, the Crown King of Avangard, and was later given to his wife Alois by Corilon.

—Seraph, Marchekid!
