Lord of Arcane

Chapter 805 We Are Companions
Immediately after the first one fell, these Ozobaine superiors who drank the holy wine of divine grace all fell one after another, except for Marucis who was still standing on the steps of the altar.

Her indifferent eyes swept over the fallen drows one by one, and finally stopped on a strong woman. She snorted coldly and said:

"Sharina, stop pretending! I know you didn't drink the holy wine just now!"

Seeing that her disguise was broken by Marusis, Sharina knew that there was no chance of a sneak attack, but she didn't care, got up from the ground calmly, and calmly arranged her clothes and accessories.

Then he looked at Marucis with some doubts, and asked:

"Why do you do this? Don't you fear God's punishment if you dare to make trouble at the mother god's sacrifice ceremony? Or are you already fallen?"

"Fallen? God's punishment?"

Marucis looked at the puzzlement in his former opponent's eyes, and the smile on his face grew stronger, "How do you know that what I'm doing now is not under the instruction of the mother god!"

"Impossible! How could the mother goddess do this?!"

Although Sharina had already guessed this possibility, she was still frightened by this possibility. If even the mother goddess is unreliable, then she——

Thinking of the worst possible situation, Sharina immediately became vigilant. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a senior mage in the family who fell to the ground and survived, and Marucis was staring at her on the steps of the altar, she would have wanted to go straight away. It's gone.

"what on earth do you want?"

After asking, Sharina stared fixedly at Marusis, as if she would strike immediately if something went wrong.

And on the altar steps.

Marucis didn't pay attention to Sharina's nervousness, she chuckled, put her hand into the wine jar containing the holy wine again, and released a cloud of dark holy power from it. said:
"The oracle is here, and all opponents will be destroyed!"

"oracle?"

Hearing this word, Sharina immediately turned her gaze to the cloud of dark holy power in Marusis's hand, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mother Goddess is going to attack the surface?"

But immediately, she reacted, "The Mother God didn't intend to kill us, you deliberately misunderstood God's will!"

Sharina herself is not a priestess of the goddess, but as a senior mage, she knows that the oracle is not a specific and definite order, but a vague divine will!

Different interpreters can perceive the oracle and interpret different meanings. Generally, there are only differences in details. Misunderstandings like the current general direction are very difficult to happen.

But at the same time, Sharina also knows that once this happens, it must end with a comprehensive compromise by one party, and she does not want to compromise.

She looked at Marucis tenaciously, not wanting to lose any momentum.

However, Marucis didn't take it seriously, and gave the final answer:

"It is true that the Mother God did not intend to kill you, but the Mother God did not let you refuse divine grace either! Sharina, drink the holy wine, from now on we will be the most caring sisters in the sect! If you don't drink it, not only will you die today, None of your family will survive!"

"Holy wine?"

Sharina immediately understood that it was the mother god who wanted them to die, and the so-called holy wine was just a means of control. What is the difference between them who lost their freedom and death!

"What on earth do you want? I can lead the family members to leave Ozobene and never come back! In the name of the Mother Goddess!"

As soon as these words came out, Sharina's momentum suddenly weakened a little.

"Disrespecting God's grace, and still want to swear in the name of the mother god? I think God's punishment should be on your head!" Marucis said disdainfully.

"I'll give you a moment to think about it, should you drink this holy wine or not?"

After finishing speaking, Marucis pointed to the timing stone pillar not far away. In an instant, the original magic on the stone pillar receded and was reset for a period of time.

……

Below the altar.

Sharina looked in the direction Maruccis was pointing at. At this moment, the timing stone pillars were all activated, but at the same time dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sharina knew that the other party didn't give her much time to think about it, and the fading timing stone pillar seemed to be urging her to die, which made her heart flustered.

How can I do?Sharina glanced at the family member who participated in the sacrificial ceremony with her, the high mage who was still on the ground, and cursed a fool in her heart.

Then there was a look of determination in her eyes, she looked at Marucis on the opposite side, and said calmly:
"Maluxis, let us leave, or I will immediately cause an earthquake and collapse Ozobaine!"

The consequences of collapsing Ozobaine are too terrifying. Once she does this, judging from the unstable magic net environment in the Underdark, even high-level mages may not be able to escape from such a devastating disaster.

In other words, Sharina gambled that Maruccis would not be able to bear such consequences.

Regarding this, Marucis just smiled slightly, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, "You can try it and see if you die first or I die first."

"..."

Sharina remained silent. In fact, she herself could hardly bear the consequences of collapsing a giant void. At the same time, she also knew that she might not be able to collapse Ozobain at that moment.

There is a senior mage like her standing next to her, how can she let her calmly cast spells to destroy!
There was a flash of struggle in Sharina's eyes, she stared at Marucis tightly, and asked, "Are you really going to force me?"

"time up!"

"what?"

Sharina subconsciously looked at the timing stone pillar. At this time, the stone pillar was completely dim, and under the dark vision, it almost melted into the surrounding background.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly came to her heart. Sharina said badly, and was about to cast a spell to escape, but suddenly felt powerless, and even her mind was dizzy.

She only had time to say "You're cheating" before she collapsed like her previous companions.

At this time, Marucis on the altar really breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her hand, and a group of priests mixed with mages came from outside. Said frantically:

"High Priest, everything is fine outside!"

"Okay, let's start the ceremony now!"

……

After the mysterious ceremony, the Ozobain superiors who had fallen to the ground one by one stood up one by one in the square.
The senior mage who was about to question him before seemed to be still thinking at that moment, and continued to ask, "Marusis, what do you want to do?"

But as soon as the words came out, he was stunned, as if thinking of something, his face became extremely ugly.

But at this moment, on the steps of the altar, Marucis's face was obviously tired, but her spirit was extremely excited. Looking at the people below who seemed to have realized something, she announced loudly:
"Everyone, from now on, we are companions!"
