Chapter 209 Under the Real Sunlight

“There are actually tunnels in this kind of place.”

There were strange symbols painted on the walls. Ella took notes as she walked. These symbols had some divine power, rising and falling like the tides. This rise and fall obviously had some kind of pattern. No wizard would miss the opportunity to peek into the mysteries of divine power.

"These divine runes seem to be transmitting some kind of information to the outside world. The regularity of this is very obvious. When some long-range sound transmission spells are in operation, similar phenomena will also occur in the elements that make up the magic circle."

Ella recorded the rise and fall of the magic circle, and soon, a waveform with a certain pattern appeared on her notebook.

However, there are still some garbled noises on this waveform.

Ella followed Reinhardt and began to try to separate the clutter.

"It seems that these are messages coming from the outside world. This is indeed a more accurate message than what can be conveyed through simple prayers."

Reinhardt suddenly stopped and looked at Gregory at his waist.

Gregory had remained silent since entering the tunnel, which was unusual.

He is not a taciturn sword. Although he doesn't like to talk in front of outsiders, he talks a lot in front of old acquaintances like Reinhardt.

"Did you find anything?"

Gregory's current condition was not right, so Reintat pulled him out of the scabbard and was alert to the surroundings.

"Is there any danger nearby?"

When Gregory keeps silent, it usually means there is some danger nearby, but the danger has not yet discovered them.

But for Reinhardt, there are not many dangerous things on the continent now, as long as he does not go into those ancient ruins. There seems to be something in those ancient ruins that blocks the influence of civilization decline.

"No, there's no danger. Even though the guy inside is not weak, he's no match for the three of you if we fight."

Reinhardt also heard a voice not far away. That voice was directing the mobilization. It seemed that many people in the church were under his control, and they seemed to be rushing to other churches to take control of the people and supplies there.

"These words on the wall are the earliest 'runes' we imitated and made up based on ancient books to assist in prayer."

Some runes lit up, then went out.

"I understand. The flickering of these runes should be related to the information they convey."

Ella compared the waveform in her hand with the flickering of the runes on the wall, and quickly separated out some of the noise. Then she realized something.

"Since you can recognize these runes, does that mean..."

"Yes, I already know what happened outside."

Gregory sighed.

"The true sun has risen. There is no need to hide under the light of the false sun. Now, let us bring the true light to the world."

Gregory read out the information represented by the flashing runes.

"The real sun?"

Reinhardt had already carefully approached the door and made a gesture to Ella behind him. Ella nodded and began to prepare a spell.

"Have you forgotten what I said before? We modified some descriptions of the 'Sun' in the ancient books and used it to unite mankind. After all, having hope for the future is better than having no hope at all." Lininhart's hand gestures changed. This was a countdown. When the countdown was over, he would open the door and clear a path for Ella's spell.

"In the darkness that seemed to last forever, people heard the story of the sun and began to believe that the sun would one day appear. Under the scorching sun, the undead spirits that harvested human lives in the darkness, especially vampires, would be wiped out. This was the original appearance of the Sun God Cult."

As soon as Gregory finished speaking, Reinhardt kicked the door open, and then Ella's spell shot towards the center of the room. In that momentary gap, Reinhardt saw a figure in the room. He was wearing a church robe, and he was surrounded by several phantoms wearing similar clothes.

Then, an explosion was heard in the room.

"These people must have found some records from somewhere, which contained descriptions related to the 'sun'. This provided support for their heretical beliefs."

Reinhardt followed the spell and rushed into the room.

He didn't understand these things related to ancient history, but he knew that when people were killed, they would die. As long as all these believers were killed and they lost their faith, no matter what the "real sun" they were talking about was, it would slowly die out.

Just like the other gods who perished.

The person in the room now is obviously a high-level heretic commander.

"The intruders, the lackeys of the WeChat users, were able to sneak into this place."

The bright golden sunlight penetrated the flames produced by the explosion, enveloping them. The explosion seemed to solidify and was then swallowed up by the sunlight.

"Since we are here, let me let you enjoy the real sunshine."

Reinhardt felt a stinging pain. Every ray of "sunlight" shining on him was burning his skin. It seemed that something invisible was penetrating his skin and was causing his body to fall apart.

"Hold on, he is just a newly promoted high priest, he is no match for you."

The light of the spell fell on Reinhardt, blocking and reflecting the sunlight.

“You actually rejected His gift!”

The high priest in front of him had a look of disbelief on his face. The sunlight also fell on him, but he did not resist. His skin began to melt and his flesh and blood began to rot under the sunlight, but then, the flesh and blood began to multiply.

"Thank you, my Lord, for the gift and strength you have given me."

Deformed arms, heads, and eyeballs grew out of the flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, the high priest in front of Reinhardt turned into a monster.

"The sun will eventually drive away all darkness. Wherever the sun shines, it will be our human land. We..."

Reinhard could no longer hear the rest of the words. More flesh and blood had grown on the vocal cords of the high priest in front of him, and the only sound that came out was a meaningless murmur.

"Kill him. There is no way to capture him."

Gregory sighed again.

"This is the real sun. According to legend, it took the race called the Cave Dwellers countless epochs to finally extinguish the sun. They were able to walk out of the cave, defeat the civilization called the Sun Chasers, and become the new masters of this world."

The spell exploded the balls of flesh and blood, and the dragon claws cut through the "limbs" that stretched out towards Reinhardt, allowing Reinhardt to get closer to the high priest in the center of the flesh ball.

Then he used the sword in his hand to pierce the high priest's heart.

The sunlight that filled the room disappeared, and the room returned to darkness.
