Cthulhu Gonfalon - Chapter 110

Chapter 110
In The Ash Forest, Sui Xiong’s rage fire soared up to the sky . He and the Devil King Shadow were in a big fight . The Ice God Power and the negative energy crazily attacked each other, making the cloud and wind change color . Black air filled up the sky while ice and snow scattered all over the ground . Only the remaining impact of the powers from both sides had turned the area in its range of more than ten miles into an eerie frigid ghostly area . Only looking at the sight made normal people feel cold as if everything was about to be frozen inside out .


Rhodes panted intensely . He felt that his heart and lungs were about to freeze . His breath also brought along ice crumbs .
Of course, this was a delusion, and the one who was capable of doing this was not him but Snowflake .
Snowflake’s situation was far from fine . Her ice fire, that she had used her full power to launch, had been beaten by the Devil King Shadow . She also had internal injuries, and barely managed to use her magic to protect lucky exploiters to help them escape with her, which made her wounds become more severe . At this moment, she didn’t even have strength to stand up, but could only lie on Gerrard’s back, letting him carry her and run away .
A moment ago, Gerrard had also been hit by a serious move, but his skin was rough, and his recovery ability was frightening . He was really a freak who was like "A small injury? Rub a little bit of saliva, then it will be fine" . At this moment, while carrying the battle-ax, which had been broken in half, he grabbed Palin, who had just been injured on his leg when fighting with the black shadow soldier . On his back, he also piggybacked Snowflake, whose face was even paler than Rhodes’ and mouth was full of ice crumbs and foaming blood . He led everyone, whose hearts were filled with fear, and struggled to run away together in a hurry . Sometimes, he would stop to fight with the black shadow soldiers who were flooding over to chase them, to buy some time for people to escape .
Only he could do this kind of thing .
"Rhodes, you lead everyone and keep running!" He spent a little bit of time to shout out to Rhodes, "I will block your back!"
Rhodes really wanted to argue with him, like "You are more important than me" . But Gerrard was clearly not the type of person to listen to other’s right words or consider pros and cons . Judging by the kind and plain face of this giant, he must be a stubborn wildcat . Therefore, Rhodes had no choice but bite his lip and lead everyone to keep fleeing .
"Don’t stop!" He tried to withstand the pain in his chest, which happened every time he spoke, to shout loudly, "Run with me! We have to leave the battlefield . Even a small impact left from the battle between a God and the Devil King is enough to kill us!"
Under his instruction, the lucky survivors hurriedly ran away, using all their might to run as far as possible from the battlefield .
The place, which was used to be a temporary village, now had been turned into a pile of ruins . Due to the soaring rage inside, Sui Xiong was too lazy to think of the problem "why did the Devil King Shadow suddenly attack" . He took out his abilities, waved his tentacles nonstop in the wind, and launched magic nonstop, swearing to beat this damned bastard and make it die miserably! Extremely miserably! Inhumanely tragically! Unimaginably tragically!


Due to the fact the he had put his entire mind into the fight on this side, he even ignored the situation of his avatar on the other side . After all, the fight between Sarah Heim and Tim Thrall was just a war of attrition . It was not strange that they would fight with each other for ten or fifteen days . And his friend was way stronger than that punk, who was neither alive nor dead . Hence, he didn’t need to worry about that at this moment .
Right after him and the Devil King Shadow were fighting intensely,under the body of Tim Thrall, who had been oppressed by Sarah Heim, there emitted a strange black light . The black light spread out everywhere, and immediately formed into an enormous magic formation, covering itself and Sarah Heim, as well as Sui Xiong’s avatar, which had been all along watching the fight from the side .
Sui Xiong immediately sensed something was not right . However, he could clearly feel that the activated magic formation was a large-scale transmission magic, which would transmit the three of them to a distant place------maybe it would be the God Kingdom of an Evil-God, or a trap that had been prepared beforehand, or something else . . . no matter what it was, it would not be a good place!
Due to his slow reaction, when he was aware that the situation was not right, it had been too late for him to stop the transmission . However, the transmission wasn’t completed yet . There was still a way for him to save it .
Hence, he decided very quickly . He immediately opened the spirit channel with Lei, used Lei as a coordinate, and penetrated his powerful God Power into the transmission magic to try to deviate the target destination to Lei’s location .
In fact, deviating toward the original object would have been a little bit more realistic, but the distance was really too far . . .
The distorted transmission magic issued an ear-piercing explosive sound . After a while, a flow of muddy water rose . Three giant creatures had been transmitted to a shallow sea area . Sui Xiong immediately used the navigation spell . He then discovered that the current location was not far from Garles city, around thirty-five miles away .
"Not bad, still didn’t fall into the trap!" He let out a sigh of relief, split his energy to give the avatar full power, and urged his God Power to turn it into flow after flow of rapid cold torrents, attacking Tim Thrall .
The current situation was not appropriate, he had to quickly finish the battle on this side, and then he could rest assured!
Right now, both the original form and the avatar of Sui Xiong fell into the fighting state . In the square in the center of Garles city, a big sensational play was slowly exposed .


The Exploitation Ceremony was divided into three parts . The first parts were the parades of the churches and organizations, preaching doctrines, spreading God’s grace widely, or showing talents . . . Of course, violently throwing was also allowed . It didn’t matter how stupid people with money played, as long as they were happy and satisfied .

After all, the groups gathered in the center square, the city lord would start the ceremony . After that, the priest of the Harvest Goddess’ church would read a prayer . At this moment, the Harvest Goddess would send down God’s grace to cure all the pains of people presenting here .
After praying and blessing, ten girls who were chosen in advance, would pick the best bay leaf’s grass which was preserved by the magic from the shamans . After that, they would hold a public auction to sell ten bouquets of bay leaf grass, which was claimed to be ’the flower of Garles’ . The entire money collected from this auction would be dedicated to the great goddess who had granted everyone such a treasure - the Harvest Goddess .
As the only son of the city lord - Joseph, also the one with the highest possibility of becoming the next heir, Shane didn’t need to join the first parading phase but sat in the center position in the square . Behind him was a bunch of subordinates, who were fully armed with extraordinary weapons . There were all kinds like soldiers, shamans, priests . . .
Due to having mighty power, Lei was arranged to sit behind Shane, where he could strangle Shane with just a hand’s reach . As for Lady Teague, she was arranged to sit at the back because she insisted on sitting next to her daughter . Frank on the other hand wanted to follow his teacher, but he was chased back by Lei . Besides, Lei was Stelle, who dressed in full body armor, disguised as a priest .
Stelle dressed up and put on makeup nicely to coordinate with the fun atmosphere of the ceremony . But when considering the possibility that a big war might happen, she shouldn’t be too eye-catching . Therefore, she couldn’t help but settle for full body armor----in this case, everywhere were people in full body armor, an overly beautiful woman was too conspicuous .
"When fighting, please pay attention to them a little bit . " Lei instructed .
Stelle smiled, used her right hand which was wearing a metal glove to pat on the solid chest armor, "You can rest assured about my working style . "
Therefore, Lei smiled while nodding, heading to his seat .
Right now, the one he could rely on was Stelle, or maybe it could be said like this . . . . even though she was not reliable enough, he had no other choice now .
Seeing the scene becoming more and more boisterous, he couldn’t help but worry, couldn’t stand but ask, "Young master Shane, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing special . Nothing worth mentioning . " Shane was still the same, smiling gently and humbly, lowering his voice to say, "You’ll find out very quickly . "
"I think I should know beforehand . " Lei said, "So that when everything happens, I can handle it well . "
Shane shook his head, "You don’t need to prepare any special reaction . You just simply need to fight . Aren’t you the best in fighting?"
"But I hate fighting! Especially fighting without knowing why!" Lei angrily said .
"I also don’t like fighting . Fighting is too dangerous . But I don’t have any other choice . " Shane gently said, "You also don’t have a choice . We are two people who are tied in one rope by fate and are falling into the water . If you don’t want to die of drowning, then you have to try to pull me up . "
"Punk!" Lei slightly growled in anger . He resented that he couldn’t take out his sword to give this rascal a stab .

Time flew by very quickly . All the parades of the organizations had already gathered in the center square . Following them was a crowd of people like surging tides who quickly jammed the entire square, so even a drop of water couldn’t trickle through .
Seeing a sea of people, Lei couldn’t help but be startled------if a fight really happens in a while, blood might flow like a river, and corpses might pile up everywhere!
"Can we not fight?" He sighed, then advised Shane, "You see, there are many people here . If a fight really happens, then it will be very tragic!"
"It is pointless to say that to me . I am not the one to decide to fight or not . " Shane smiled then answered, "Maybe you feel that you are very strong . But to me, you are just a chessman that can be used freely . As for me, a grand existence on a high level, I am a chessman that can also be freely used . As a chessman, you and I just need to implement the order well . Thinking too much is helpless to us, and it can cause us more pain . "
"Are you perhaps willing to be a chessman, let people use you? You still want to risk your life for them?!"
" . . . I won’t be a chess man forever . " The smile on Shane’s face disappeared . His voice became very solemn, "Sooner or later, there will be a day when I become a chess player!"
"Survive through today first, and then talk about everything else later!" Lei angrily said, "Normally, ambitious people like you will die halfway . "
"Knights fight for their friends; will there be many people who can live that long?" Shane beamed a smile again, "It is all the same . Therefore, we should try to survive together . As for you, it is for your high-minded goal, and as for me, it is for my selfish goal . But no matter what it is, we only have hope if we survive . "
" . . . It is such a pity that you are not a fortune-teller!"
Shane smiled but didn’t open his mouth . However, there was an extremely tiny sound which almost couldn’t be heard ringing in Lei’s ear .
"Who told you that I was not a fortune-teller?"
Lei rolled his eyes, dropped his jaws, this is clearly not low-level magic! Not to mention, during the magic-casting process, there was not any dark power fluctuation . It was clearly accompanied by a superior magic technique!
Shane, this guy is not a swordsman . He is basically an unimaginably mighty caster!
