Godly Base

162 – Sacrifice

“Your majesty!”

Alfev smiled miserably and belched blood essence from him mouth, and the blood essence turned into a black snake that blocked his right side.
At the same time, he retreated sharply.

The Steel Beast stepped forward, sliced apart the black snake formed by Alfev with its blade, and then slashed Alfev.

A twisting spirit force membrane appeared on Alfev.
As if the scales of a snake, the spirit force membrane deflected a greater portion of the force.
The Steel Beast’s slash only left a bone deep wound on Alfev’s body.

A tail as sharp as a sword catapulted out, stabbed Alfev in a wound the Steel Beast sliced open, and split him in two.

Alfev’s eyes dimmed, and he trembled and died.

Saham III’s eyes flashed with a pained shade, and he crushed a red crystal.

A mysterious magic array appeared in the royal palace and radiated light that enveloped Saham III.

A statue of the Lord of the Night flew out from Alfev’s corpse and fell into Saham III’s hand.

Saham III disappeared with a flash of light.

Specks of red light appeared on Hanani, Hasna, Celine, and Selim and circled around them.

In the next moment, Celine’s group of four and the Souleaters carrying them were shrouded by red teleportation light and disappeared from this place.

Hasna’s vision blurred, and then she found herself in a spacious underground palace.

In the underground palace, there is a 10 meter tall statue of the Lord of the Night emanating an evil charm.
Under the statue, there is a huge pool of blood.

Saham III smiled coldly and pulled the trigger of the spirit gun, Blue Dragon, repeatedly.

Blue beams slammed into four Souleaters and blasted them apart one by one.

The enchantingly beautiful queen Celine begged, tears streaming down her face: “Your majesty, for the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, I implore you, please let our children go!”

Selim shouted: “Royal father, stop! Stop now.
It’s still not too late.
Our family can leave the Reio Republic and go into hiding.
As long as we keep a low profile, Flameguard won’t find us!”

“Celine, I can’t stop! I want to break the curse placed on our line.
I want to gain strength and longevity.
For the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, I will show you mercy and won’t make you watch what’s going to happen next!”

Saham III sighed slightly and shot Celine in the head, blasting his wife’s head apart.

Hasna’s beautiful eyes flashed with disbelief, and she screamed shrilly: “Mother!”

Hanani pleaded softly, a look of despair and fear on her face: “Royal father, don’t do this.
I implore you.
Please stop.
We are your children.”

“You should rejoice.
Once the curse on our line is lifted, our family will gain great power.
Nothing will be able to stop the rise of our country.”

Saham III’s eyes fell on Selim, and he asked with a mild smile: “Selim, my excellent son, for the sake of our family, you will surely sacrifice yourself, right?”

Selim shouted sternly, tears streaming down his face: “Saham III, you are not my royal father! You are a devil! You are a wretched devil!”

“Unfortunately you can’t understand my greatness either!”

Saham III’s eyes darkened, and he shot Selim in the head.

The palm sized statue of the Lord of the Night opened its mouth and sucked dry Selim’s blood essence, turning him into a desiccated corpse.

Upon seeing this scene, Hanani’s pretty face twisted with fear, and she pleaded loudly, “Royal father, don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!”

Saham III smiled and said, “Hanani, don’t worry.
You are the saintess I have chosen to serve our lord.
While Hasna is the vessel for our lord’s resurrection.”

Hanani felt slightly relieved, but then a sense of guilt welled up inside her: “To actually feel relieved, I’m really the worst.”

“Saham III, from today on, you are no longer my father.”

Hasna glared at Saham III and spoke while enunciating each syllable, tears of blood sliding down her face.

“Hasna, you should rejoice.
Our lord, a mighty god, will be reborn through you.
You will be the glory of our family.”

Saham III smiled lightly, and then silently recited an incantation and pointed at the statue of the Lord of the Night.

The statue of the Lord of the Night opened its mouth, and golden blood containing sacred aura flowed into Hasna’s body.

Hasna screamed miserably, trembled uncontrollably, surged with blue veins on her milky-white skin, and frothed from the mouth.

Boom!

“Stop!”

Along with a roar, an elevator fell apart, and the Steel Beast rushed out from the elevator.

“Shu Feng? You’re a step too late! Ha-ha-ha!”

Saham III laughed, and then took out a blue box and channeled spirit force into it.

Black smoke emerged from the blue box.
The black smoke condensed into a 10-meter tall black giant inscribed with mysterious runes and emanating an evil aura.

Black light radiated from the blue box and flowed into the the statue of the Lord of the Night.

The pool of blood churned and turned into a mist of blood that flowed into the statue of the Lord of the Night.

As if it came to life, the statue of the Lord of the Night diffused a strange, evil, and mysterious feeling.
A ray ejected out from its forehead and landed of the black giant.

The black giant spread the fingers of its hand, and a black barrier appeared.

Ding!

The Steel Beast in its second stage form slashed at the black barrier with a blade, and a terrifying noise rose.
A crack appeared on the black barrier, and then closed quickly.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The extremely fierce Steel Beast frenziedly slashed at the black barrier, and cracks appeared on the black barrier one after another.

“Shu Feng, your summon is quite strong! It’s a pity, but in order to lift the curse on our line, you can’t even imagine the depth of arrangements that our family has set up in this country!”

Saham III smiled frostily and waved his hand, and a blue key turned into a stream of light and fused with the statue of the Lord of the Night.

There was a flash of light within the statue of the Lord of the Night, and a black beam rose into the sky.
