The sealed object has actually been activated. I thought it would be launched when the crowd gathered at the memorial site, but I didn't expect the cultists to take the first step. And the scope of influence is so large, what a terrifying thing it is...
Griffith was swaying on his horse, powerlessness and despair making his mind go blank.
Local residents and tourists remain unaware of this. Regardless of the rapid and shrill sound of the trumpet or the falling ashes from the sky, only extraordinary people can listen and watch.
Unable to understand this scene, Amber held her head and almost rolled off the military horse.
…
"The prologue has begun..." On a hill overlooking Hepu Town, a thin painter who once had an acquaintance with Griffith was painting the scroll in front of him carelessly.
Crazy towns, twisted monsters, and a group of figures fighting next to an altar-like object at the foot of the mountain.
"Did you create this vision?" Medicius asked respectfully from the side, "Your power is unimaginably powerful!"
"No, this is the power of the sealed object," the painter shook his head, "I just painted the scene that appeared in my mind. I can't stop it or change it. This feeling is very bad."
"I understand, Mr. Madman, then we will act according to the future you drew." Medicius's expression became more and more respectful, he slowly stepped back, turned around and said to the people around him, "Everyone, it is 10 a.m. : 15, soon, the future predicted by the Creator will arrive, take the confinement crystal, and we will look for traces of the Queen."
After Medicius withdrew, several attendants around him also bowed and left. Only Anjiao, who had a calm and resolute temperament, couldn't help but look at the artist's paintings again.
On the scroll with the calm and peaceful Hepu Town as the center, black swirl-like lines are growing and spreading, and countless black faces and blood-colored pupils are twisted in indescribable gestures.
In the corner of the scroll, there seems to be a white, clear figure being surrounded by a whirlpool of pain and terror...
Seeing this chaotic painting made the heavily armed Reef frightened. He hurriedly closed his eyes, turned around and ran away.
"Hey~ don't you plan to see me finish painting before leaving?" The artist's eyes trembled slightly, and he said softly in a decadent and bleak tone, "Why don't you be mentally prepared to see your own end?"
…
"Amber, go back to the Church of Holy Grace! Activate all available powers!" Griffith shook the blonde girl's shoulders, gave her the authorization from the former enemy committee, and shouted almost at the top of his lungs, "The cultists' The sealed object has been activated, so stop the memorial ceremony immediately! If the citizens don’t listen, then set up a trebuchet and shoot at the open space outside the memorial ceremony to disperse them!"
"Okay, okay, I've recovered! Stop shaking!" Amber grabbed Griffith's arm and shouted, "What about you? Where are you going?"
"I'll go find Elodie and take her to the Holy Grace Church for refuge." After making sure that the girl listened to his words, Griffith turned around and whipped the horse, "We'll meet at the entrance of Cang Yue Mountain! Drive!"
The trainee knight clamped his legs, and the horse galloped like a gale, carrying the rider on its back and galloping towards the villa on the hillside by the sea.
Not even a soul was seen along the way. Griffith quickly crossed the flat, neat cobblestone road and arrived at the residence of Dr. Zion's family.
It must be okay! Griffith felt nervous and even began to hallucinate - as if he had entered the living room, Elodie was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, drinking a coconut, and the unshaven doctor was writing a report.
"Doctor, Elodie!" Griffith shouted as he rushed into the villa.
The empty living room responded to him with silence.
Griffith was even more uneasy. He held the sword in his hand and the ice energy swirled around him. He rushed up to the second floor like a gust of wind and found that there was still no one there. There were several dresses on Elodie's bed.
Griffith's mind went blank for a while, and he rushed downstairs and opened the laboratory door.
Dr. Zion’s daily busy laboratory is a mess. The test tubes and petri dishes that were full in the past have been emptied and scattered on the ground. The precious books and notes are piled in the sink, which have been burned to nothing but ashes.
Several clay pots were rolling around on the ground...the orchids grown in the pots for testing had withered, and powdery dead branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground.
In a conspicuous place on the desk, there is a note, with a line of words written in wet ink on the cover of the note -
"Drug Experiment Records and Final Treatment Plan".
"Griffith, the situation has reached a point of no return.
"Although you are in an urgent mood, please read my notes carefully. I rarely keep a diary, so the content is not long. The notebook will be burned within fifteen minutes after you read it.
"I was extremely guilty and devastated, but reality forced me to take immediate action."

"March 15, 1441,
"Elodi's condition is getting worse. She is getting weaker. Treatments and prayers are of no use. We don't even know the cause. I can no longer continue my work at Homemon Watts and I have expressed my concern to Tabery. Principal En submitted his resignation, but has not yet received approval.
"I suspect this is related to the legendary and mysterious Neopolis syndrome, but there is a lack of research data and evidence."
"April 1, 1441,
"The reply from Neopolis came, and the results were disappointing. Neopolis syndrome is too ancient, and the existing records are almost mythical, fragmented and worthless."
"June 6, 1441,
"A friend of mine who was studying at Homemonworth came to visit me from the southern continent. I was surprised that there was a fierce battle going on there, and I didn't know how he crossed the sea area.
"He described to me a magical lost world that has no trace in any literature. In a huge basin, in a hot and humid forest, there are ancient troll ruins. There are many huge creatures living in the forest. Like the descendants of the legendary dragon, ruling that world together with the strange and ferocious giant insects.
"I was not interested in his story at first. Elodie's treatment was the only thing I cared about. However, a specimen he brought out quickly changed my opinion.
"The thing looked like dry stems and leaves of a plant, or a small section of octopus tentacles. He mysteriously told me that this thing has extraordinary vitality and is a ladder to eternal life.
"The strange thing is that I couldn't remember his name after he left, and his image only left a vague shadow in my mind. But I clearly remember what he said, and the specimen was also left in my laboratory. inside."
"June 11, 1441,
"The specimen actually showed signs of life. I thought it had completely withered. But as long as it comes into contact with the nutrient solution, its sliced tissues will become alive.
"It's even trying to break through the wall of the petri dish. I have to tighten the seal."
"September 16, 1441,
"I have conducted detailed research during this period, and I can't remember when it started. When I came back to my senses, the research materials were already piled up in my warehouse in Laboratory 13 of Homemon Watts. If I let The principal knew that I had taken up so many supplies without reporting them, and I would definitely be expelled.
"I didn't want to do it. Elodie's condition has reached its final stage, and this specimen and my experiment are the only hope.
"September 27, 1441,
"The animal experiments went very well. I suspect that the specimens contain unknown extraordinary properties. Even animals treated with the test drugs can quickly heal injuries and diseases, replacing dead parts with new organs and tissues, even if they are already dying.
"Some experimental subjects have developed rare mutations, and their organs and limbs have become astonishingly active. Even cutting off their heads and destroying their hearts cannot completely kill them.
"The experimental subjects will have bloodthirsty impulses, but this can be easily solved. I suppressed them using the same methods used to deal with naturalized vampires, and the experiment was extremely successful. I am really a genius.
"I have no time to wait. Although no one understands the cause of Elodie's illness, as long as we can provide new vitality and metabolism to her declining body, the problem will be solved. Her illness is too special, and I have neither time nor search. Without others to test it with, I had no choice.
"The test animals need to be disposed of."
"October 3, 1441,
"I succeeded!"
"October 5, 1441,
"This is all amazing. Elodie has completely regained her vitality, and is healthier and more beautiful than before! I can even detect that her spiritual energy is awakening and surging, and she will grow into an amazing extraordinary person.
"I'm taking her away from Homemonworth. Tiberion is going to take this little angel from me."
Griffith silently flipped through the short notes. There are no new records after October 5th, except for a passage from Dr. Zion, which seems to have been written just now.
"Griffith, for some time now I have had some unfounded premonition that I would lose my Elodie, and I could not stop it. I told my sister this worry, hoping that through her I might Knight Brandon asked for help. They carefully studied my concerns, but could do nothing, and the kingdom ordered them to move to a new territory in the south.
"Before leaving, Shivros came to visit me and conveyed my sister's opinion. They had a premonition that some kind of danger was coming, and if an unforeseen situation arises, I can ask you for help.
"Just now, I noticed that some kind of terrifying sealed object was activated, and all my samples fell into uncontrollable madness at the same time.
"Immediately afterwards, my nightmare became a reality. Elodie was possessed by something terrible and left me unstoppably. I am not a coward, nor am I a weakling, but in In front of that terrifying existence, I crawled on the ground like an insect.
"I destroyed the experimental records. This horrific property cannot be spread. I must leave and find a way to suppress this madness. I cannot be officially imprisoned.
"Please protect Elodie and seek support from Miss Alandel's family."
…
After parting ways with Griffith, Amber quickly rushed to the Holy Grace Church to warn, and then rushed to the scene of Hanami's memorial service to provide support. If something happens there, she can act immediately.
There were very few people in Hepu Town, which is usually very peaceful. After returning from the city, they went to Sheng'en Church. It was almost noon, and the residents either went to the memorial site to set up stalls or went there to have fun.
Just when the situation was so urgent, Amber unfortunately lost her way. She couldn't even find a patrolman on the empty streets. We can only go in the direction of Cang Yue Mountain.
She turned a corner and suddenly smelled a strange smell of blood.
Amber walked around cautiously and came to the door of a private house. There, the wooden door of the small courtyard was smashed open, and several white-feathered chickens circled around the door and on the street in fear. From time to time, they glance at their own chicken coop in the yard, and then shy away a few steps, as if there are terrible beasts squatting there.
Amber rushed in fearlessly. Neither beasts nor cultists can stop the Chosen of Thunder and Storm.
In the small courtyard, chicken feathers, scraps of meat and blood were scattered all over the floor, all the way to the chicken coop. Outside the chicken coop, there is also a strange rooster.
Amber glanced carefully and found that the rooster's neck, head, and body had shriveled up unnaturally, shrinking into a small ball like an orange that had been forgotten to dry in the cupboard. Although the rooster's body was torn and chewed to pieces, there was too little blood...
Amber's azure eyes sparkled, and her usual lively and sexy temperament disappeared, replaced by the repressed and cold temperament in the distance on the sea before the storm came. Long golden hair floated in the air, and blue arcs exploded in the air.
She cast her gaze towards the messy chicken coop and took a step forward. The moment her boots landed, the air rippled, as if a storm was about to come.
There were sobs coming from the front...
A girl with a charming and familiar back view is kneeling in the chicken coop. Her long hair is tied into a long ponytail and she is wearing a close-fitting white dress. She knelt in the filthy chicken coop, covered in bloody chicken feathers. The girl was holding something in her hands, sobbing and making a beast-like biting sound.
"Elodie? Is that you?" Amber was stunned for a moment, with countless assumptions flashing through her mind. The most likely one made her shudder.
The biting sound suddenly stopped, and the girl slowly turned her head. The big, beautiful and smart eyes in the past were like wild beasts, flowing with scarlet light and terrifying madness.
Amber subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but before she could clearly see the situation in front of her, there was a loud noise from the adamantine gauntlet. Then, a series of combo attacks came like lightning, exploding streaks of fire on the sturdy gauntlet.
"Bang!"
Amber jumped back, broke through the wooden fence of the yard, came to the street, and distanced herself from the enemy in front of her.
A cloud of blood mist followed, and Amber quickly raised her knees to block it, and the heavy blow knocked her back several yards.
"Cough, cough..." A girl in a white dress emerged from the blood mist, twitching and curling up in front of Amber.
The Elodie she was familiar with had become something she was unfamiliar with.
The girl blooming like a flower was shrouded in a distant and ancient aura, and endless terrifying power was emitting from her body. Around her, flowers, grass, white-feathered chickens and small insects grew and twisted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then withered into fragments that flew away in the wind in an instant.
The arc of lightning whirling and roaring around Amber dissipated. She felt that her power was greatly suppressed, and every move was extremely difficult.
"Kill me, quickly!" Elodie said in great pain, "Please, before it's too late! I can't suppress it."
