"They're still continuing their ritual?" Vale narrowed his eyes as he saw the cultists weren't bothered by the intense battle just now.
He couldn't help but respect them a little for being too focused on their jobs. However, their actions have to end. Although he had no idea about the ritual they were doing, it could not be good…
As he was ready to approach it, he suddenly heard the voice of his Dark Spirits!
"Stop! It's dangerous…"
"Do not approach them!"
Yvaine and Lotus warned at the same time!
Of course, Vale was worried after hearing this, so he immediately halted his steps.
He had no idea why they reacted like that, but he knew that he had to listen to these Dark Spirits. Although he had become an Immortal, the beings of the Spirit World were still mysterious for him.
"What's going on? Can I only attack them from a distance?" Vale asked.
This time, Lotus appeared beside him and communicated with him through telepathy.
"They're inside a huge defensive magic circle. Their ritual seemed to be related to the Abyss Realm…" Lotus said.
"What? Then that's the more reason I have to stop them!" Vale replied.
"You're space magic heavily relies on that broken Arcana… You basically have no knowledge about it. If you enter their space, they might force you to enter the Abyss Realm instead. Once you enter that Realm, you will be facing Demon Saints that have their full strength while you were suppressed. Do you like that to happen?"
Vale was stunned as he heard this.
"There's no way I'd want that to happen…" He immediately responded.
"What do you I do then? Can I just use my Divine Lightning?"
"That's possible… However, I can tell that they have already opened the Abyss Realm and were simply waiting for an opportunity. If you're too close, they might try and bring you inside the Abyss Realm instead." Yvaine responded.
These words made Vale step back a little.
If the Abyss Realm was opened, then he would expect thousands of Demonic Beings to pour out of it! Furthermore, he didn't want to enter the Abyss Realm as well!
"I don't think this is the only entrance they created. Similar to the Spirit World, they must've opened numerous paths for their invasion ." Lotus said as she seemed to have realized what Vale was thinking.
"I suggest that you stay as far as possible when attacking them… You can use the Curse or the Divine Lightning…" Yvaine suggested.
Apparently, the two Dark Spirits had indeed saved Vale's life just now.
The Cultists weren't just minding their own business all this while and they were actually monitoring the battle.
As soon as they confirmed that the two Demon Saints were defeated, they were getting ready to send the Immortal to the Abyss Realm!
Unfortunately for them, Vale suddenly disappeared and they had no idea where he had gone to!
However, as they felt relieved that their lives were spared, they saw dark clouds gather above them… Then, without being able to guess what was going on, a bolt of lightning descended!
Boom!
The lightning almost killed the cultists!
However, because of their advanced preparation, the lightning didn't hit them; it only hit the space above them!
Whom~
Because of this attack, the hidden crack was finally revealed!
It was a crack in space that led to the Abyss Realm!
***
"So it was that thing…" Vale muttered softly after seeing the tear in space… It seemed that it was previously hidden by an illusion a while.
Since his True Sight wasn't active before, he didn't notice it hidden a while ago.
Anyway, Vale didn't stop after revealing the crack.
He continued to attack the Cultists with his Divine Lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He wanted to stop their ritual and prevent more Demonic Saints from entering this realm. The Invasion might still happen but he at least wanted to lessen its intensity.
However, all his attacks were being led to the void!
It seemed to be a bottomless hole, and whatever attack he sent might just be sent to the void!
After some hesitation, he used his Presence Shift to get closer since his other spells doesn't have a long-range at all.
This time, Vale decided to use his Crimson Plague!
The Cultists were caught off guard by Vale's attack!
It was a spell that could infect and weaken the enemies with a deadly disease!
Vale hadn't used this Spell because of how dangerous it could be if it spread.
However, since his target was isolated, he doesn't have to worry about the possible spread of disease to ordinary people.
After all, it was a spell that could spread and multiply with every contact. It was a spell that could cause pain and suffering to anyone who caught it!
Vale then used his control over the Shadows to create a hole in the defensive barrier of the Cultists…
As soon as he created a small entrance, he used the Crimson Plague to affect one of the Cultist's bodies. He used his Shadow Soldiers to create chaos for the Crimson Plague to spread.
"Aackk!"
Soon, one of the Cultists felt a sharp pain in his chest and then a burning sensation in his veins.
He looked at his body to see if he was wounded, but he was not! Instead, he saw a crimson mark that was spreading across his skin.
lightsΝοvel Slowly, he felt his strength and vitality draining away!
As he tried to suppress it with his Arcane Energy, something worse happened!
He felt his organs and tissues rotting away and his mind and soul fading away!
"A Curse!"
He screamed and writhed in agony, attracting the attention of the other Cultists. They saw his condition and felt fear and horror.
They tried to help him or avoid him, but it was too late.
The Crimson Plague had already spread to them through the air...
They all felt the same symptoms and the suffered the same fate.
