Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 912: The Tail Ring, activated! (Please give me double the monthly ticket)
Miss Sprengel had already placed all the materials needed for the ritual here, and now she could use them smoothly -

She and the other two took up brushes and carved complex ritual circles on the ground with honey, then sprinkled it with a mixture of rubies, amethysts, red spinels, copper powder, ashes from the skulls of intelligent creatures, and the ashes left by dead demons.

When the honey glued them to the ground, he used wind magic to blow the unfixed powder aside.

Then Miss Sprengel took out some dried snake meat that had been soaked in mead.

The snake meat, which was as hard as bacon, had been coiled into a ring, with blasphemous words written on it in black runes - every snake's body was covered with exaggerated words praising depravity. The content was so explicit that it would not pass the censorship.

There were four such snake rings, and Ms. Maracia, Ms. Sprengel, and Dr. Levikühn stood in three of them, 120 degrees apart. Even Dr. Levikühn, who was sitting in a wheelchair, managed to stand up and walked into his own ritual ring.

The last snake ring was cut into three pieces with a ritual knife, which were staggered with the positions of the three people, like a three-sided leaky wall. In this way, the preparation ceremony of the tail ring was completely completed.

After all, the outer ring ritual is the core of this ritual, and the inner ring ritual is just a fire-starting device - used to connect the "stronger gravity" ritual with the Fallen Angels.

In a sense, the role played by this inner circle ritual is roughly equivalent to pinning the belt of the Fallen Angel to a rocket...

Miss Sprengel poured several barrels of mead soaked in venomous snakes on Master Walter.

Then she raised her hand and set a Winged One's Feather on fire.

The feather burned for an extremely long time, and the flame changed from red to a strange purple, and then to black.

Under Master Walter's horrified gaze, the feather burning with black flames floated up from her palm on its own and flew towards him like a butterfly.

"Um...wait...wuwu...I..."

His words became slurred.

Master Walter struggled hard, and two tears slowly welled up in his eyes.

And in his horrified and desperate eyes, the feather fell on him.

The honey wine was obviously just a low-alcohol wine, but at this moment it ignited like gasoline.

The pitch-black flames spread along with an astonishing stench, completely enveloping Master Walter in an instant!
Amidst the heart-wrenching roar, the pitch-black flames rose fiercely into a pillar of fire that reached the ceiling!
But the pillar of fire did not ignite the ceiling of the basement.

It condensed into a dark vortex at the top that was as deep as the abyss, and emitted a howling sound like ghosts and wolves howling.

The black flames began to spread on the ground, and the traces of honey were ignited one by one. The originally sparkling purple-red powder was burning with black flames. The edges of the flames were an ominous green.

When the entire magic circle was filled with black fire, a hurricane came howling.

Accompanied by the shrill screams of ghosts and wolves, Miss Sprengel recited loudly, as if to drown out Master Walter's voice:

"As it is above, so it is below; in this way the miracle of Taiyi is accomplished—"

As she spoke, Master Walter's screams subsided in the blink of an eye, and the fire man burning with black fire stopped struggling and twitching.

His chest was collapsed - there was a bloody bull's head roaring loudly, as if it was trying to struggle out of it.

——That is the Berserker that evolved from the Labyrinth Demon under the influence of the Rage Mark.

Compared to the pitch-black Labyrinth Demon, the bright red Berserker Demon is more in line with the concept of "rage".

Unlike Ms. Emma, ​​who indulged her desires and was therefore unable to seal the succubus within her, Master Walter strictly used the knowledge imparted by the Rose Tantra to suppress his own brand of rage, thereby causing his demonic incarnation to fall into a permanent sleep.

But he was infected with other sins because of this... He was not free after all, and he was unable to break free from the influence of the Fallen Angels until his death. After all, he turned into a new Berserker after his death.

However, Miss Sprengel only gave the newly born Berserker a stern look, and the bull head was forcibly suppressed by the spells chanted in unison by Ms. Marasia and Dr. Leviqun.

And Miss Sprengel was still chanting the secret words of the ritual in the "Tail of the Heart" :

"All things are originally Taiyi, and are created from Taiyi through differentiation!"

Miss Sprengel knew that it was the secret of the source river of the sacred number "one".

The source of creation - It is said that before He became love and beast, He was a sun. He created all things just like the sun shines on the earth and radiates light, without losing His own holiness and perfection.

That is the ancestral sun god, the master of the first source river, "Taiyi".

The miracle created by All That Is—

“The sun is the father and the moon is the mother, conceived by the wind and nourished by the earth.”

Miss Sprengel sang the secret words she had received from the emerald stone tablet, the Tantra of the Tail: "The source of all perfection in the world is here; its power is most complete on earth!"

As she sang, faint hymns replaced the shrill screams like ghosts and wolves howling.

It was dusk now.

Purple light was lit up everywhere in the entire star.

On a wall somewhere on a street, a purple light suddenly bloomed, and a purple "infinity" sign appeared, causing people to exclaim in surprise.

Under the setting sun, the lake turned golden, and suddenly a purple glow bloomed at the bottom of the lake. The light condensed into an "8" in the sky.

In a classroom of a certain school, the student on duty was sweeping the floor, and suddenly a vertical purple “8” appeared on the blackboard behind her, emitting a strange light that attracted her attention.

In the forest, in the valley, in the river, in the houses...

The Outer Ring Ritual of the Tail Ring is, in a sense, simple.

This mark must be seen and noticed by someone, and the person watching cannot see a mark in another place at the same time, so that the mark will be effective. And this mark cannot be destroyed before the ritual is completed - even if it is just a thin mark cut with a carving knife, or any part of the "Tail Ring" is cut off, it will be considered destroyed.

The number of such marks should not exceed three hundred and thirty-three.

The timer starts when the ceremony is officially activated——

If at the end of the ritual, at least eighty-eight brands are found and still exist, then the ritual of the Ring of Tail is established.

Miss Sprengel closed her eyes and felt herself connecting with one mark after another.

If someone were to use the energy vision to look down at the entire star from above, they would be able to see purple halos lit up and connected to each other, as if condensing into a constellation map, and gradually condensing into the shape of a bull's head.

That was the symbol of the Fallen Angels—the eyeless four-horned golden bull.

In the portraits and statues of the Fallen Angel, He always wears a strange helmet and is unwilling to show his true face.

The helmet is dark gold, has no eyes, and only the part below the nose can be seen. Where the horns should be, there are two spiral horns intertwined together. So from a distance it looks like two horns, but when you look closer you can see that it is four horns.

When his followers worshiped him, they would use the blood of their own people to smear the places where the "eyes" of the eyeless helmet should be, and draw a pair of eyes for it with blood.

——And so, the Fallen Angels “opened their eyes” and saw their prayers.

When Anna Sprengel closed her eyes and confirmed that the number of marks that had been confirmed and activated by her sight was far more than one hundred, she began to chant: "Divide the earth from the fire, extract the essence from the rough, and proceed with caution--"

That is the miracle called "alchemy". In the ancient ignorant era, it was Huan Tiansi who pioneered the miracle of alchemy and opened the prelude to the world's civilization.

"——Ascending from the earth and descending from the sky, gaining the power above and below!"

As Anna Sprengel's voice fell, an extremely terrifying pressure emerged.

The originally dim yellow sky in the evening turned into a pure and dreamy purple under the reflection of the purple light on the ground.

The dark golden clouds in the sky sank one by one and shrank into dark whirlpools.

They looked like they had transformed into dark suns in the purple sky!
The sun was completely obscured and the moon did not rise.

Countless deep purple thunders descended upon the world, like a carving knife cutting the land of Star Antimony into pieces of territory.

The ejected rock layers turned into sharp blades, spraying back into the sky from the position cut by the thunder, with a height of more than 100 meters.

Amid the exclamations, Miss Sprengel loudly praised the reputation of Huantiansi:

"——This way you can gain the glory of the world and stay away from darkness and ignorance!
"This is how the world is created, and this is how miracles can be achieved!

"I am the thrice-great Hermes, and I possess the truth of the threefold world!
"This is the Ring of Endless Success, the Endless Great Deed—"

As Miss Sprengel finished her recitation, the eighty-eight "Brands: Tail Rings" on the ground shone brightly at the same time.

In the eighty-eight dark vortices in the sky, clusters of purple light lit up one after another, and then rose up to the sky one by one and disappeared into the sky.

But in the distance that is invisible to human vision, they dim their brilliance and form a star map that can only be seen at night——

When the star map was born, a large number of empty stars suddenly appeared in the sky!

——Those stars are the balanced wall arranged by the Sand Clock with the remains of the sun!
However, this purple star map gradually became blurred and covered the stars in the sky.

Although the positions of the stars covered by this star map are only slightly different, when they are combined together, they form a completely distorted, new star map.

If you look at the stars in the night sky from somewhere else - such as Avalon, it will not be any different from before.

But if an astrologer looked up at the sky during the astronomical period... they would easily discover that the positions of the stars in the sky had changed silently!
——The wall between the dream world and reality was cleverly melted open!

In an instant, the vast power from the dream world poured down!

The dark flame suddenly expanded and burst.

The figure of the Fallen Angel appeared among them!

He was now four meters tall, like a young giant.

His upper body was covered in pitch-black armor - the armor was matte, not like metal but more like bones.

His body was extremely strong, with muscles all over his bronze skin. His hands were not as slender as those of humans, but had turned into ferocious claws - but even so, they still had the ability to grasp.

The long purple-black hair was tied into thin strands, draped down her back like optical cables. She wore a dark golden eyeless bull-head mask on her face, and the corners of her mouth drooped in displeasure.

He raised his hand slightly, and his huge yet slender right claw grabbed Miss Sprengel's shoulder!

The hooked finger of the thumb pressed against Miss Sprengel's neck.

With just a little force, he could cut Miss Sprengel's throat!

But Anna Sprengel showed no fear.

Instead, she looked at the Fallen Angel with a smile, stretched out her hands and made a hugging gesture in the air.

"……enough."

After a long while, the Fallen Angel stared at her and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to hear words praising snakes anymore."

After leaving the dream world, his voice was no longer overlapping and echoing. Instead, he spoke clearly and steadily, just like a normal human being.

After that, he put Anna down.

He looked down at the other two, with the corners of his mouth raised sarcastically: "Are these two... the sacrifices you tricked into getting?
"It seems that they are still suspicious of my appearance."

When they realized that the Fallen Angels had descended into the material world - and were not at all surprised by the situation, Ms. Marasia and Dr. Leviqun realized that something was wrong.

——They were deceived.

Or rather, they actually knew that they were being deceived... After all, the content of this ceremony sounded so tempting that people had to doubt its authenticity.

However, as a transcendent, they cannot sit idly by and let themselves miss this opportunity.

When the feasibility of the ritual is verified, they must go here and gather together. Just as the extraordinary people of the path of love cannot control their love that transcends the moral concepts of ordinary people, the extraordinary people of the path of dusk cannot resist the drowsiness from the depths of the path.

Now, they are relieved.

I was wondering where the trap was. It turns out it was here...

——The hanging heart finally died.

"My dear master, if possible, it is best not to kill them. They are all useful talents."

Miss Sprengel said calmly, "You are the ruler of the world, so you must have some subordinates, right? Demons may be able to slaughter a city-state, a race, or even a world, but it is difficult for them to govern a country. This is a common problem of phantom demons. They are too deeply influenced by the power of the Tao. Unlike living people... they are all complicated."

Ms. Marasia and Dr. Leviqun immediately knelt on the ground and swore allegiance.

"Oh... okay."

Fallen Angel looked at the two people, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He raised his sharp claws and said lightly: "Then I will grant you mercy."

A magic circle with the characteristics of winged beings appeared in front of the claws.

The mark of sin was struck, and a glow shone - their bodies turned into demons and then changed back to human form amidst their howling.

At this moment, he waved his other hand in the air.

Under this starry sky, the boundary between reality and dreams in the corresponding realm is blurred.

At this moment, right above the Fallen Angels - a series of purple portals opened in the sky.

The demon army is coming.
