Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 354: Demons and Summoning Circles

The Holy Inquisition is the product of the struggle between the Holy See and black magic. Especially in the Middle Ages, the Holy Inquisition played an important role in the war between the Holy See and witches. However, in order to stabilize the dominance of religious power in Europe, the Holy Inquisition also played a role in safeguarding Religion is sacred and inviolable, and has killed many scientists. Later, as the royal power gradually became stronger, the Holy See slowly retreated into the background, and the Holy Inquisition also slowly faded out of people's sight. However, this institution has always been retained, but now many countries do not have it at all. I don’t know the existence of this organization. Only the heads of state of major countries have the right to know about this organization.

However, after the end of the world, the leaders who came to power were basically deputies, and they all temporarily replaced their predecessors who turned into zombies. They would not know the existence of this organization through normal channels. If some of the Paladins here did not get out alive, this The Holy Inquisition will really be buried in history.

Now Li Yuanhong is standing in front of the gate of the most mysterious institution in the world. It is a very weird gate. The gate seems to be an old tree, but this old tree actually has eyes and mouth. Seeing this image, Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the Mouth of Truth in Roman Holiday. The folding door was really similar to the Mouth of Truth, except that the one in the movie was a round stone plate, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.

But now it doesn't matter what material the folding door is made of, because the door has been opened, and the face on the door has turned into a dead face. Li Yuanhong even saw a few traces of blood on the corner of the door's mouth.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuanhong knew that a creature had entered the door. Now Li Yuanhong must be careful, otherwise he might be attacked by the creature hiding inside the door if he is not careful.

Li Yuanhong carefully opened the door. With this pull, Li Yuanhong realized that the door was very heavy. If he hadn't evolved to level 20, it would be really difficult to pull the folding door.

The door opened a crack, and Li Yuanhong got in. As soon as you enter the gate, the interior immediately becomes bright. The power supply facilities here are still functioning, and it seems that there is no apocalyptic disaster happening here at all. Everything here looks so clean and tidy, there is no trace of dust on any items, but the air is filled with... The strong smell of blood made Li Yuanhong even more alert.

Li Yuanhong immediately turned on the invisibility function on the armor and put on a masquerade cloak to isolate the smell on his body. At this time, Li Yuanhong was equivalent to a transparent person. Without master-level investigation methods, it would be impossible to detect Li Yuanhong's existence.

Li Yuanhong explored forward cautiously, and even Li Yuanhong released several spider robots to explore the way.

The Holy Inquisition is a large area. It is not only a place where religious relics are stored, but also a research institute for many demon-killing weapons. There are many weapons left over from ancient times to deal with demons. However, the magic energy of the earth before the end of the world was too much. The results of the research here are very thin, so there is no progress in the research results here. Instead, many strange things have been researched, such as the holy gun, which fires mercury bullets and is specially used to deal with vampires and werewolves, and the holy gun. Crossbow, this crossbow arrow contains holy water, which is specially used to deal with evil consequences and evil spirits.

So many weapons are actually not very effective against the invading alien creatures now, because the lethality of these weapons is too low and they cannot break through the evolved zombie skin, let alone the alien demons coming from the portal.

When Li Yuanhong walked outside the weapons room, many weapons were scattered on the ground. It was obvious that these weapons were used to resist outsiders, but looking at the warheads and bows and arrows scattered on the ground, it was obvious that these weapons had no effect on the intruders, and There were blood stains everywhere, but Li Yuanhong didn't see the body.

Li Yuanhong continued walking inside and came to a door similar to the Mouth of Truth, but this door was also like death. The door was open, and Li Yuanhong stepped into the door.

As soon as he entered the gate, Li Yuanhong saw a long corridor. There were many displays on both sides of the corridor. There were skulls of ancient gods, mummies of lich women, ashes of evil spirits and other evil objects and holy objects. Anyway, Li Yuanhong had never seen Li Yuanhong before. He walked to the end of the corridor and finally saw a hall. At this time, the hall was filled with the smell of blood. There was a stone platform in the middle of the hall. There was an offering table on the stone platform. There was a book in the center of the offering table, a book with a black cover. Li Yuanhong guessed that this was the Book of Devil.

And around the altar table, there are corpses, bloody corpses. Judging from the clothes on the corpses, they should be the guards here, that is, the Paladins. The number of corpses is no less than 300, and there are countless rat corpses. No wonder the blood here is so strong. .

Outside the corpse is a circle of magic runes and crystal nuclei placed around it, and in each of the eight directions of the magic square, there is a red-skinned monster sitting there muttering words, as if reciting some spell. Outside, there are about twenty little red-skinned monsters holding short forks standing guard. These little monsters are only about one and a half meters tall, with two small horns on their heads, eyes as big as copper bells, and big noses and mouths. Two large fangs sprouted from both sides of the big mouth.

If it was before the end of the world, Li Yuanhong would see this kind of monster, he would definitely be so scared that he could not walk. This is obviously an evil spirit from hell. But now, Li Yuanhong has seen too many monsters of all kinds, and now this kind of monster is no longer available. Nothing.

At this time, as those sutra-like incantations continued to be chanted, the magic circle finally changed. The blood on the corpses began to gather, converging on the center of the magic circle, forming a red vortex, and the blood of the corpses continued to pump out. As time passes, the color of the vortex becomes darker and darker, and the eye of the wind in the middle of the vortex slowly turns black, like a devil's eye, slowly opening, like a road leading to the abyss, slowly extending.

At the same time, the Demonic Codex facing the eye of the wind began to emit magic fluctuations. As the blood energy above gathered, the Demonic Codex's magic fluctuations became more and more intense. Li Yuanhong knew that this formation had reached a critical moment. No matter what, , you cannot let the other party complete this magic ritual, otherwise something bad will definitely happen.

Although Li Yuanhong didn't know what this magic circle was for, he knew that in order to destroy the magic circle, he could only find a way to seize the devil's code and destroy the ritual. But in order to get the devil's code, he had to cross those Guards, Li Yuanhong didn't want to force his way in, and Li Yuanhong didn't know whether these little devils could see through his invisibility. Li Yuanhong didn't want to take the risk.

So Li Yuanhong quietly sneaked back to the entrance of the corridor, released two machine gun robots from the space, and then ordered them to find a way to lure out the little defensive devil inside. Then Li Yuanhong jumped up, jumped to the roof, and climbed on the roof. , waiting for the robot to lure those little devils away.

The two robots went to kill the inner hall. At this time, the little devils heard some movement in the corridor, and a few little devils came out to see the situation. The robots didn't care and opened fire.

The bullets were thrown at these little devils like a torrential rain, and bullets were flying everywhere in the hall. Those bullets hit the little devils, but they did not kill them. They only made the little devils retreat continuously, except for the two in front. The little devil was unprepared and was shot in the eye and a bullet into his head, so he fell to the ground and died.

As soon as the two little devils died, the little devils behind them exploded and noisily threw fireball magic at the two robots. However, these fireball magic attacks were very close, within a range of five meters, and did not explode the two robots at all. Moreover, although the robot's bullets cannot break through the defense, they are very painful when they hit the body, making these demons whine and scream like killing pigs.

In the commotion outside, more than a dozen little devils rushed out from inside. With reinforcements, these little devils became bolder, so these little devils, holding small steel forks, rushed towards the two robots.

The robot had already received Li Yuanhong's order, and instead of resisting desperately, it retreated while fighting. It led these dozen little devils out of the treasure storage room at once, and there were less than ten guardian devils left.

At this time, Li Yuanhong quietly came down from the roof, and then entered the inner room invisibly. He looked around and found that although these little devils were still defending, the focus of their defense was still on the side of the door, near the wall inside. , there was no defensive force at all, so Li Yuanhong followed the corner and slowly dived inside.

After a long time, Li Yuanhong came to the corner. At this time, the magic circle had reached a critical moment. The magic fluctuations in the devil's code had reached a critical moment, and the little devils guarding the surroundings all looked nervous. They stared at the door, fearing that someone would disturb them, but they didn't know that someone had already sneaked in. The little devils who were chanting the spells were sweating profusely and looked tired. Obviously, these spells were very easy on the mind.

Li Yuanhong saw that the time had come, and no one would notice him anymore, so he stood between the two demons who were chanting spells, stretched out his palms, and pointed at the demon code. Li Yuanhong wanted to use the magic he had learned to retrieve objects from the air. Since learning this magic, Li Yuanhong has not used it much, but he did not expect to use it today.

As Li Yuanhong's magic unfolded, the devil's code was attracted by Li Yuanhong's magic, and the magic fluctuations in the code interfered. The little devils who were chanting the spell did not notice it at first. Later, their chanting was also interfered with, which made They were alert, but they thought that the level of the creatures they summoned was too high, so this phenomenon occurred. These demons just became more immersed in chanting spells, and did not think that this would give Li Yuanhong a chance.

Li Yuanhong and the code stalemate for about a minute, and finally Li Yuanhong gained the upper hand. If it were not protected by the magic layer outside the code, I am afraid that Li Yuanhong would have had the code in his hands by now, but that layer of magic fluctuations was not for The resistance to Li Yuanhong's telekinesis magic was only stimulated by the magic energy of the magic circle, so the resistance was not strong. Therefore, Li Yuanhong's telekinesis magic was used to successfully obtain the code.

Those little demons who were chanting the curse suddenly disappeared. As the code disappeared, the layer of magic outside the code suddenly exploded, directly knocking out the demons who were chanting the curse around them. The people who were exploded fell onto their backs, and several little devils Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. The blood of these demons was not red, but yellow-red like magma.
