Chapter 274 Nelly's Resistance
"Sacrifice, sacrifice." Neri no longer cared about Panis's relentlessness to despise her again. When talking about the sacrifice of the evil god, the female knight would be filled with negative emotions. The war between the two sides made a large number of innocent people pay blood and life. This was simply the most shameful thing in her life. Whenever she thought of those souls who struggled in despair and eventually broke down, her heart would be filled with pain. She always believed that although those people were not killed by her, their deaths were inseparable from themselves. This perception has not changed until now. Therefore, when Panis mentioned the sacrifice again, the female knight said in extreme depression: "You guessed that, since more than thirty years ago, they have been using the method of living sacrifices to try to transmit energy to Danakus in order to awaken him from his sleep."
"It started so early?" Panis frowned and murmured in a low voice: "It's earlier than I thought."
"It's that early." Neri said bitterly: "It's just that in the first twenty years, they didn't offer sacrifices so often, at most two or three times a year, and some years have not even been there. In the past ten years, the number of times has begun to gradually increase, and it's more and more. But the previous year, there were twenty-four living sacrifices, which was almost as close to the sum of the first twenty years."
"Have you ever thought about why?" Panis asked, rubbing his chin, "There should be a reason for this obvious change."
"Of course I thought about it, but of course I didn't think it out." Nelly said in annoyance: "How could I think of the answer to this kind of thing?"
"Uh, okay, you said it without any concealment." Panis scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "What did you do? Just let them try again and again?"
"Of course not, I have been fighting against them." Neri shook her head vigorously and said, "Whenever they hold a sacrifice, I will use divine power to create a barrier to block the power they teleported through sacrifices, so that these powers will backfire on themselves and severely damage all sacrificers. Sometimes the power of sacrifices is too huge, and the power of backfire also increases, and it can even directly retaliate the person who performs the sacrifice to death."
"Well, no wonder." Panis suddenly realized and nodded, "No wonder in the City of Innocence. From the scene, all sacrifices failed and there was a backlash. At that time, we thought that the gods who were the target of sacrifice had fallen and the power of sacrifice had nowhere to go. It turned out that you were fighting them."
"That's all later. I just said that in the first twenty years, the frequency of sacrifices was not that frequent. For their sacrifices, I only need to sense them and hit back head-on. The rest of the time did not have any impact on me. In addition to dealing with their sacrifices, I still have enough time to transform the world and continue my work." Obviously, Neri didn't want to continue talking about the topic of sacrifices at all, and did not miss any opportunity to change the topic: "During this time, I have basically completed the transformation of the entire world, and the lives of the undead have begun to get on the right track. I... don't stare at me like this, I really don't want to mention the sacrifice."
"But this is an unavoidable question," Panis sighed, "because you can guess as you said before, this question has been bothering you since."
"Oh, yes." Neri covered her face with her hands and rubbed her face hard, saying as if she was moaning: "They have never given up on living sacrifices, and not only are they getting more and more frequent, but their methods are getting more and more cruel."
"The crueler the way, the stronger the victim's soul will burst out when it collapses." Panis nodded and said, "The increase in the number of sacrifices they offered is likely because as time goes by, the strength of the divine servants has become stronger and stronger. Not only have they absorbed more necromancers who were originally believers of the betrayer Mobis, but they have also tempted more people who fear death to become corpses, and further transformed many semi-god monsters and turned them into half-life and half-dead monsters. With these leaps in strength, they have more opportunities to perform a large number of living sacrifices as weapons to attack you. Even as you said, twenty-four sacrifices were made a year ago, and this was just a completed sacrifice. If you just responded passively, they would have more and more sacrifices, until you could no longer block the powerful power generated when these souls collapsed."
"Maybe you're right, but I didn't know this at the beginning." Neri sighed and said, "I don't know how to stop them. In addition to constantly bounce back their sacrifices, the existence of the divine barrier prevents me from causing direct harm to them."
"But you still fight back after all, aren't you?" Panis said softly: "Although it's been a long time, it's not just that you've been passively enduring it, but trying to stop their sacrifice, right?"
"Ha, it's true that I can't hide it from you." Neri smiled bitterly, "I initially tried to let the six undead destroy their sacrificial rituals, but the undead's actions were too inconvenient. Moreover, the undead mages, including the three archbishops of the gods, have a natural restraint against undead creatures. Even if they are six demigod undeads, unless they use sneak attacks, it will be difficult to kill the same number of undead mages who are one level lower than that, and will expose themselves, so this method is not effective, so I changed to another method."
"Does your method be to throw the problem to me?" Panis said helplessly: "This is really a good idea."
"Hehe, I've been discovered." Neri said with a smirk, "You have recovered at that time, and of course the problem of difficulties can be left to you. I know you went to the Capital of Knowledge, so one of the undead asked to tamper with the information of a sacrifice at the risk of being discovered and pointed the target at the Capital of Knowledge. Once the sacrifice results, as long as you are in the Capital of Holy City, you will definitely feel something. So you don't worry that you can't find it, nor do you worry that an originally innocent person will become a victim. I know that as long as you see this, you will continue to investigate and you will definitely find the conspiracy of the believers of Danakus."
