Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 183 Arrives, This Time for Real
The Cult of the Moon Mother was destroyed.

They were destroyed by the vampire clones they themselves cultivated, or rather... by their mouths.

All the believers, adventurers, and townspeople stared in disbelief at what was happening during the ceremony.

Visually speaking, calling it a "hellish scene" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Horror, gore, cult...

But at the same time, it is absurd and somewhat comical.

Pale, strong, zombie-like mutant vampires pounced on the priests and clerics who were once high above them, pinning them to the ground and opening their blood-red mouths to reveal dense, sharp fangs.

These variants have a much denser tooth structure than normal vampires. Compared to the common method of vampires using two fangs to open two eyes to suck blood, their method is much more efficient, truly a form of bloodletting.

Like the bottom-dwelling devil fish, it has a ring of teeth that grips firmly and cannot let go.

What a brutal predation scene.

If it weren't for the fact that they bit in such a subtle way.

Clearly, for the derivative beings who have lost their minds due to the attraction of blood, biting wherever there is blood is the most direct choice.

So naturally, the places they bite are...

Jia Xiu stared at the scene before him with a ferocious expression, feeling as if his reason had been corrupted.

You'll regret it if you don't watch it.

I regretted watching it for a year.

In addition, the vampires' bites come with an exciting enchantment that puts the priests in a strange, bittersweet experience.

The question of whether the pain of severe hemorrhoid bleeding or the enchanting effect of vampires sucking blood is stronger is now directly compared.

The conclusion is that they are evenly matched.

Most of their expressions quickly switch between ferocity and smugness.

As for why it is the majority.

Because of the high priest.

Jia Xiu stared in shock at the high priest who was very close to him. As his life force rapidly drained away, he could only look on with a satisfied expression.

Doesn't it hurt at all?

High Priest, you scoundrel.

The part of the plan that involved using pain to prevent the high priest from giving instructions did not all succeed.

But the results are about the same.

She's currently so engrossed in her opium addiction that she can't give any instructions.

The thirsty vampire clones were highly efficient; in just a few dozen seconds, the priest and high priest were reduced to near-mummified corpses.

Logically speaking, even if the blood is drained, it shouldn't turn out like this. Jia Xiu could only guess that the derivative bodies sucked too hard, sucking out other bodily fluids as well.

It only absorbed the appetites of a dozen or so people, which did not satisfy the long-starved derivative bodies.

It's unclear whether the local townspeople were simply too terrified to move, or too afraid to miss the rare sight of a vampire sucking blood from behind.

Surprisingly, they weren't too panicked, and didn't even run away.

Those who remained there also stared with ferocious expressions.

Don't they ever regret it?
They watched and discussed, "You said they're sucking from that place, don't you think the taste is off? What else might they suck out?"

"Sigh, what do you know? Do you think vampires have the same tastes as us? Maybe they just like this kind of thing, and if they suck out anything else, they'll just consider it as adding variety to the flavor..."

Jia Xiu overheard their discussion and realized that these townspeople were quite a group of people.

As the derivatives look up to find their next target, the ceremony is about to turn into a buffet.

Jaxiu remained calm and gestured to Mia and Ram, who were already prepared.

He certainly wouldn't allow these derivative beings to wreak havoc in the town.

The derivative beings are actually the previous batch of adventurers who were lured here more than a decade ago.

They were also victims.

Becoming this wretched state, enslaved for over a decade, lacking reason and independent consciousness, is a painful experience for them, one that will not find peace even in death. It would be better to send them to their release sooner rather than later.

Moreover, bringing so many UV flashbangs would be a waste if we didn't bring several boxes of them.

Mia and Ram took the box out of Big Yellow's mouth, opened it, and threw it. Following Jia Xiu's instructions, they threw it in a saturation manner. Since they had brought enough, they wanted to ensure that each derivative could "enjoy" the "warmth" of ultraviolet rays from multiple directions and angles.

I'll also provide these townspeople with ultraviolet sterilization services as a bonus.

In those days, ordinary people, especially those in small towns, had very poor sanitation conditions.

Surprisingly, the townspeople, who weren't afraid of the pounced creatures, became terrified and scattered in all directions when Mia and Ram threw small flashbangs at them.

Where the flashbang landed and rolled, the crowd immediately dispersed in an empty circle.

They still know fear.

Having just finished feeding, the offspring greedily sniffed the scent of fresh blood, preparing to hunt its next target.

Suddenly, I saw a strange thing rolling towards my feet.

Although they have lost their humanity and reason, they still retain curiosity in their remaining animalistic nature.

Curiosity about unfamiliar things is an instinct for most animals.

It picked up the flashbang with a puzzled look, tilted its head, looked left and right, and then made another, more animalistic gesture.

Put it in your mouth and chew it.

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but taking a bite to try it out is indeed how many animals perceive unfamiliar things.

Even humans are the same; babies often grab things and put them in their mouths, which is how they explore new things.

This derivative creature soon paid a heavy price for its insatiable curiosity.

As a derivative life form, it learned one last lesson: don't put everything in your mouth.

The flashbang held in his mouth exploded at that moment.

For vampires, intense ultraviolet radiation is no less than a temperature of thousands of degrees.

The entire head instantly turned into powder from the inside out, vanishing and dissipating.

Next comes the torso, then the lower limbs.

The enormous vampire clone was instantly reduced to dust, leaving only a thin layer on the ground mixed with the soil.

Dozens of flashbangs were thrown and exploded one after another, the crackling sounds echoing throughout the ceremony site.

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, one after another, the derivative bodies turned to ashes.

Jia Xiu discovered two new points of knowledge.

When fighting vampires, the damage from ultraviolet rays can be cumulative, and the body reacts more violently to ultraviolet rays than the body.

Because when they ambushed Priestess Samantha before, the clone that was accidentally caught off guard did not react as violently as it did today.

At that time, sucking a little blood could still save it.

Now, we don't even know where to begin to save these people.

A dozen seconds later, the ceremony fell silent. Under the effect of the flashbangs, the offspring died faster than the priests.

Jia Xiu sighed.

The Cult of the Moon Mother is gone, but his work is not completely over.

The purpose of coming to Chachdis Town has always been to help Bubu resolve the issue of the vampire mark and figure out how to reach the original vampire hiding plane.

Where is the high priest?

Is the high priest's mummified body still there?
We agreed that there were still many problems.

However, before he could find the high priest's body, a large number of the townspeople around him knelt down.

The adventurers, who had just escaped danger, followed suit and knelt down upon seeing the situation before them.

"May the gods protect us! Thank you, gods!"

The townspeople shouted in unison, their voices initially somewhat disjointed, but soon they became synchronized. A tremendous cry of "God bless us! Thank you, God!" echoed throughout the ancient castle.

Jia Xiu was stunned.

He noticed that the townspeople were kneeling as if they were facing him.

What's going on?
Did they treat him like a god?

From the perspective of the townspeople, what happened in those few tens of minutes was indeed a "miracle".

The Moon Mother Cult, which had ruled the area with bloodshed for many years, was about to carry out their terrible rituals again.

As a result, the sect's second-in-command at the sacrificial ceremony suddenly turned into a man.

Then, "holy light" appeared, and within the holy light, there was a vague, inhuman figure of a "big-headed god".

Next, the derivative beings that should have been under the control of the Moon Mother Goddess Cult collectively turned against her and began attacking the priests of the Mother Goddess.

Even more miraculously, these derivatives disappeared after something made a few noises.

How scary.

Each derivative seemed to be blinded by a bright light, covering its eyes in agony before turning into dust.

However, they saw nothing.

There was no bright light, nothing at all, just tiny things bursting open.

They're so powerful that their methods are invisible.

It was absolutely divine intervention.

From the townspeople's perspective, this was a case of a more powerful god dealing with the Mother Goddess, and the followers of the more powerful god defeating the followers of the Mother Goddess.

We don't even know what kind of temperament this "new god" has, so why don't we kneel down and pay our respects?

Will they be turned into mummies or reduced to ashes?

The change of religious sects is a crucial opportunity to show loyalty and piety to the "new god"!

Jia Xiu was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what these people were doing.

No, it's one thing for the townspeople to be raised in a cult atmosphere with gods on their minds, but why are those adventurers from outside kneeling down to them?

He hurriedly explained, "No, you've misunderstood. I'm not some god. I'm Jia Xiu, a student at Saint Delos Academy. I'm here to complete a mission."

mission accomplished?

Upon hearing Jia Xiu's words, the townspeople, quick-witted as ever, changed their tune immediately. To be fair, they were quite responsive when it came to religious matters.

May the messenger of the gods protect us!

Jia Xiu was speechless.

After the townspeople shouted passionately for two more rounds, he explained, "I am not a messenger of any god. This matter has little to do with gods. What you need to do now is to discard all the things that the Moon Mother Goddess Cult used to spread and then live your lives well."

Jia Xiu believed that even if his sect leader was truly a god, he only had a contract with the sect leader and was not a messenger of the god.

However, his words had the opposite effect once again.

The townspeople, whose minds were deeply influenced by religion, thought about it.

Make them discard everything from the original Moon Mother Goddess cult... that's so that new things can be spread!

Indeed, he is a god.

"We are the most devout followers of God! You, messenger of God, have saved us. Thank you, God!"

"I came here to investigate something. If you're going to thank someone, you should thank me directly."

"It was the gods who sent you, the great messenger, to our side! Thank you, gods!"

Jia Xiu covered his forehead, feeling a sense of powerlessness, a powerlessness that made it impossible to communicate.

However, flexibility and adaptability have always been Jia Xiu's strengths.

He thought for a moment, and since the townspeople here liked to talk about gods, he would just do the same.

Anyway, it's good that the town eventually returned to normal.

So Jia Xiu cleared his throat and adopted an affected, solemn tone.

He said, "I am Bishop Jash, the first archbishop under the Holy Light Church's Radiant Knight! I have come here on the orders of the great Radiant Knight to save you from your suffering. Follow the Radiant Knight, for He will bring you light and hope."

Most of this statement is nonsense.

The Radiant Knights are not yet proper gods, only demigods. They have no bishops under them and have not issued any orders. Whether they will bring light and hope is hard to say, but they will certainly bring some fun.

Despite his rambling nonsense, the townspeople bought into it.

They immediately chanted in unison, "Radiant Knight!"

Jaxiu continued, "Now, on behalf of the Radiant Knight, I issue the first divine decree."

The townspeople immediately quieted down and listened attentively.

"From this moment forward, the evil cult of the Moon Mother Goddess no longer exists. Any attempt to practice the doctrines of this cult will be considered a betrayal of the Radiant Knights. From now on, your only task is to live your own lives well. Alright, go home now. Starting tomorrow, everything will be alright."

This is an important part of the Glorious Knights entertainment idolization plan.

Although entertaining and abstract, it has positive energy.

The townspeople then dispersed.

Jia Xiu didn't forget the adventurers either, "Take a rest, you can leave tomorrow. The barrier blocking the road will be removed, and one of you has already received the blessing of the cult."

Mentioning this, the female wanderer who had previously received the blessing shuddered and became very flustered.

She was terrified that she would be treated as a heretic and executed on the spot.

"Um... Since the Cult of the Moon Mother has been destroyed, your blessing should have lost its effect. However, for your personal safety, I suggest you go to the Spellcasters' Association for a checkup. They offer a service to check the effects of unknown spells, and if it has research value, they won't charge a service fee."

Logically, if new offerings are not replenished and the old offerings are taken out of the stone coffin and buried, the blessings bestowed by the high priest should lose their effect.

That's why Jia Xiu said that to her.

After seeing the adventurers off, Jaxiu finally had time to chat with the High Priest.

"Holy crap, you're still alive."

Jaxiu was a little surprised to find the high priest.

She looked gaunt and emaciated, her youthful appearance gone, resembling an anorexic old woman, yet she was still struggling to breathe.

"As expected of the High Priest, his blessings are more advanced than others. He's still alive after all that. That makes things easier. Answer my question, and I'll make your death more comfortable."

With the full moon hanging high in the sky, Jia Xiu, looking down from above, seemed like a great demon "bullying" the dying old lady.

Jassiu brought Bubula over.

Do you recognize this mark?

The high priest didn't even look at it.

Having come this far, she had one last act of defiance.

"Why bother? Do you know anything about the original vampires?"

Jia Xiu asked again.

"I know..."

The high priest was barely breathing, but he still wanted to curse, but before he could utter the words, everyone present was stunned.

Jia Xiu frowned. He suddenly sensed a powerful magical force coming from the direction of the castle.

Bubu also reacted strongly.

"Boss, something really powerful has appeared."

The night sky was instantly tinged with red, and the oppressive aura emanating from the ancient castle was palpable.

Jia Xiu turned around in shock. Under the influence of his elemental affinity, the magical energy at the castle was about to explode.

what's the situation?
The high priestess's last voice came from behind her; with her last strength, she uttered her final words.

"It's true! Hahaha, the Mother Goddess, the legend of the Mother Goddess is actually true!"
