Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Tia had no doubt that the elf, influenced by both the Unsheathed Blade and the Prophet, was deceiving her as he deceived his ghostly companions.

Therefore, she made more than one contingency plan.

It's never wrong to be cautious.

The druidic rituals mastered by this body took effect, and Tia's index finger slowly began to harden and become woody.

The smiling doll Jasmine froze when she saw the fingers closing in on the mirror, the fingers that seemed about to shove into her mouth.

Chapter 288 People Laugh When They're Speechless

Beside the ammunition rack outside the crew quarters, Ye Haifa gasped for breath, coughed violently, vomited a large pool of blood, and then collapsed with a thud, leaning on a long military knife.

So close!

Although Londel's extraordinary skills were superb, his physical body was only at Sequence 5, and he was also seriously injured.

So the Grand Knight Commander's idea was simple: find Londel, and then at the cost of his own life, banish him directly from the Nightmare, letting Londel know what it means to shatter the cult's dream with a single blow. "Sir, I am an Anzu."

This is true.

Ye Haifa noticed Lundel while exploring the upper deck. After confirming the presence of the evil aura, he relentlessly pursued him down the gangway to the lower deck.

Not far from the stairs on the lower deck are the gun emplacements, and further on are the ammunition racks and the makeshift gunpowder area.

The makeshift gunpowder area was filled with boxes of gunpowder. Ye Haifa had poured a lot of seawater on it to prevent the curse from burning and causing an explosion when the Hammer of Judgment was used.

Further ahead are the crew quarters and the captain's quarters, which are also the places with the strongest evil atmosphere and spirituality.

Ye Haifa's spirits lifted, and he headed straight for the captain's cabin.

But as soon as he stepped into the crew quarters, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound of wind rushing through the air.

The sounds were annoying and chilling. Before Ye Haifa could investigate the source of the sounds, he heard a "whoosh" and a grayish-white shadow flashed past him. A claw more than a meter long and as hard as steel pierced his right shoulder, pinning him to the wall.

Only when the holy light explosion forced the opponent back did Ye Haifa get a clear look at the enemy's full appearance—

Endless shadows enveloped the entire cabin, with gray shadows crawling out from the walls, hammocks, weapon racks, and storage boxes. They were of different shapes and paths, and although they all had the characteristics of spiritual beings, they also possessed different human supernatural powers.

Each of these shadows possesses at least Sequence 8 extraordinary power, and their numbers are likely in the hundreds or thousands.

For a moment, even the well-informed Ye Haifa couldn't help but shout "blasphemy," as if he had entered the "Land of Shadows," the afterlife world passed down by the clans of the Great Ice Plains.

Meanwhile, under the cover of the shadows, Londel was leaving a dormitory and heading to the captain's quarters.

Ye Haifa was already feeling a chill run down his spine. So many Sequence 8 shadow spirits in such a small space as the cabin was a challenge even for him.

But when he actually attacked Lundal:

—The group of shadows unexpectedly retreated.

That's right, retreat.

It was as if he was deliberately sent to kill Londel.

But just as he was about to kill Ronder, and the hammer of judgment had struck the bullseye, crashing down on Ronder's head with overwhelming force, the shadows silently pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

It was only then that Ye Haifa realized something.

In this nightmare, the real enemies are probably not just each other.

Is it possible for anyone to leave alive after this ceremony?

"Knight Commander, your injuries are quite severe."

Just then, Tia's voice came.

The warm, gentle aura, imbued with the distinct characteristics of sacred wood and the impression of the Crimson Cup, caused Ye Haifa to cough up blood and raise his head.

From the direction of the sound, Tia drew her sword, ready to stab Ye Haifa in the liver to give him blood.

Ye Haifa said with all his might, "No need, Director. I know my own injuries; I'm afraid it's very difficult to save me."

Tia then put away her knife. Abdullah arrived late, bringing Tia the mercury, sulfur, sea salt, and a small mirror that she desperately needed.

She took the mercury test tube, tossed Ye Haifa a bag of holy salt, and asked, "Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. Knight Commander, I need to know your entire combat experience just now."

Ye Haifa took the salt, set up a Red Cup Holy Seal, and, barely managing to speak, managed to say a few words.

Upon hearing that ghosts were involved, Tia knew that this matter was not simple.

Abdullah whispered, "Sir, should we charge in now?"

“No need—” Tia revealed her fangs, having anticipated this, “Those ghosts are waiting for me. They won’t let Londel open the hatch.”

Ye Haifa glanced at Abdullah, then weakly opened his mouth to remind Tia.

He had already noticed the unusual quality in Abdullah's voice.

Seeing his relief and peace of mind as he was dying, and his suspicion, fear, and unease as he set up the Crimson Grail Seal, even to the point of wanting to interrupt him.

Although Abdullah was a failed prophet, he was still a prophet, and he immediately noticed Yahhaifa's little movements, his palms instantly sweating profusely.

But Tia just nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Abdullah became even more nervous.

Tia said, "Abdullah, help me prepare the ceremony."

"As you wish..."

You seem very flustered.

No...no...

“I can tell, Abdullah.” Tia patted his shoulder, speaking in a tone that was almost commanding yet friendly: “But I trust you. Help me prepare the ceremony!”

Abdullah was stunned for a while, then immediately sorted out all the necessary ceremony materials and handed them all to Tia.

Tia immediately set up the Trinity in her hand, opened her mouth and bit down. After a series of crunching sounds, the enamel and dentin were completely bitten through, exposing the pulp.

He then reversed his grip on the dagger, stabbed it into his finger, and pulled it upwards, the fingernail flying up bloodily.

The pain instantly transformed; under the influence of adrenaline, Tia felt as if she could punch Brigitte into Brigitte sauce.

He then stabbed himself in the liver with the dagger, but did not pull it out. He would only pull it out to bleed when he needed to use it.

This is using the Passion Path and the Red Cup Seal.

Both of these rituals were rituals of the Holy Grail, which Ye Haifa knew, but the Trinity only felt that they were familiar and did not recognize them.

Before he could think any further, the great knight exhaled and closed his eyes.

Abdullah's movements also faltered.

But the next moment, he was stunned by Tia's actions.

The girl poked a finger into the bronze mirror, making a small dent, then clenched her fist and with a loud "bang," the bronze mirror shattered into pieces.

Outside the open cannon door, the moon rose high, and its light quietly appeared, falling on Tia's back.

Tia raised her head, her long hair falling down, bathed in the moonlight.

Pick up the pieces.

Blood splattered.

.......

Not far away, the captain's cabin.

A snap.

Just as Lundell was realizing that these ghosts might not be benevolent, they gave him a pleasant surprise.

They didn't seem to specifically stop him from opening the captain's cabin.

This left Lundell somewhat bewildered, followed by a jolt, trembling, and intense excitement.

I got a Sanctuary for free!

Even the Twin Serpents themselves don't have a sanctuary yet!

These ghosts actually weren't lying to him.

Londel was overjoyed. He quickly ran to the captain's cabin and searched around before immediately spotting the secret manual whose spiritual energy was so intense it was almost explosive.

It's buy one get one free!

They also gave me a secret manual.

No wonder the Nightmare Quest mentioned that there were secret manuals within the nightmares; were they meant to be given to the heir?

The cryptic text used a ritual seal, and the sealing method was very sophisticated. When Lundal opened the first page, there was a line of handwritten ancient Arabic script.

It is written as:

Hold this secret text and be the successor to the sanctuary I created, the great prophet, the head of the house of wisdom, and Jeremiah the Transformer.

Rondel reached out to pick up the secret text.

There was no reaction at all.

There were no unusual phenomena.

There was no hint of the ouroboros from the nightmare.

There was no notification from the apostles that the ceremony was over and we could ascend.

Everything was as usual.

Rondel didn't understand what was going on.

Turn the page.

Lundl paused for a moment when he saw the line of text, didn't react immediately, and then laughed a few times.

People can laugh when they are extremely speechless.

Because this page says:

Those who possess this secret text must not stain their hands with blood. Those who possess this secret text must not commit murder. If any of these actions are violated, the preceding page is void.

Chapter 289 The Sixty-Six Great Sulph

The ghosts' voices seemed both near and far, their mockery never ceasing.

"He believed it! He actually believed it!"

"Londel, what are you thinking? How could we possibly give you a secret manual?"

"If we could get our hands on the secret manual, we would have taken it long ago!"

Londel only now realized the cunning nature of the Nightmare Quest.

The normal promotion ceremony involves points, with each task having a corresponding number of points.

This means that each task corresponds to a reward.

Everyone, including Santis, was misled by this conventional thinking.

The conditions for inheriting the Sanctuary are not the fourth mission, "gaining control of the Captain's Room"!

Instead, they must simultaneously complete three nightmarish missions: "without killing a single person," "gain control of the captain's cabin," and "possess the secret manual!"

Jeremiah successfully used wordplay to completely mislead them!

Worse still, Ye Haifa was presumably dead just before he picked up the secret manual.

Thinking of this.

The archbishop threw down the secret manual, laughed several times in anger, and dark green spores swirled around him, creating a cloud of dust.

The spore dust swept over a radius of several meters.

The ghosts cried out in terror, "Poison Dust! What are you doing, Londel?!"

These Hermetic miniature rituals, known as "Hermesian Dust," serve no other purpose than to suppress spirituality. Any ritual performed by a supernatural being or spirit tainted by the dust will be greatly weakened.

If the spirit is too weak, it may even be directly dispelled by these poisonous dust.

Most supernatural rituals are ineffective against these ghosts, but this toxic dust will still work on them; once they come into contact with it, they are doomed.

Rondel said with disgust, "I've seen through you all, you disgusting soul scum of unsheathed blades! Believing in you was the biggest mistake I ever made!"
