Alliance
A large number of guards had been moved to watch over the ceremony. The lax guard allowed the devil hunter to sneak inside easily. When he saw the sacrifices on the altar, a disturbed look appeared in his eyes. 'Blood sacrifice?
'Poor followers. Only our Lord truly cherishes us, even if we worshippers make mistakes he kindly gives us his guidance...' A sense of superiority surfaced in the hunter's mind as he compared himself to these people. Comparing this sacrifice with the methods of the Giant Serpent Church, his devotion actually grew a bit. His faith stat would've grown by a few points if such a thing existed.
*Wooooo—* The sacrificial ceremony reached its peak at that moment, the heart of the altar pooling with blood. An indistinct silhouette walked out of the boiling blood, with a human head but the body of a lion.
"Ukekelu! The mighty Ukekelu has descended!" The old shaman bowed in agitation as he started chanting prayers, followed by the other worshippers.
"..." Ukekelu lowered his head, looking at the shaman as he spoke in an unknown language. It caused the shaman's expression to change immediately.
"The Lord says there is a spy here. Guards!" The guards that looked like ravenous wolves immediately howled out.
'Not good, I've been found!' The devil hunter squatting in the grove felt his heart freeze, and he prepared to break out and escape.
"Ugh!" However, bright light burst forth from the giant snake emblem on his body at this moment. He soon lost consciousness, his body taken over by a great will.
"Lord of Debanks Island, the Giant Serpent sitting upon the throne... Welcome, Your Majesty Leylin!" The human-headed lion hovered in the air, releasing a few howls. The old shaman retreated alongside his guards, leaving the place to the two.
"Mm. Long time no see, Your Highness Ukekelu." Leylin found it sluggish to move around in this body, like a huge elephant who'd been squeezed into human armour. However, that didn't matter much. His conscient was only borrowing this body, so even if it perished he'd only lose a vessel and some divine force. It wouldn't be much.
The demigod in front of him was a part of Leylin's alliance. Legendaries had their own circle in the prime material plane, and the same naturally held true for demigods.
Unfortunately, numerous demigods were placed in an awkward position. Not only did they have lack gods willing to protect and promote them, the divinity within their bodies clashed with specific other gods that caused delays in their ascension. They'd formed cliques of their own to help each other for this very reason.
Poison Scorpion was one such god, and so was Ukekelu.
"If you've come to the marshes yourself you must have important matters to discuss..." Ukekelu said as he sharpened his claws. He was quite envious of Leylin's following and his distance from the mainland. Even more importantly, this person had begun preparing for ascension before even becoming a legendary; his schemes were shocking.
"Have you heard about Poison Scorpion?" Leylin directly revealed the purpose of his trip.
"The Church of Protection... Those lunatics!" Ukekelu's face grew unsightly at the mention of the topic. Helm's church was clearly the nemesis of all false gods; just its mention would be such a powerful deterrent.
"Poison Scorpion has already fallen. Either of us could be the next target..." Leylin's soft words caused Ukekelu's face to darken. Between the two of them, he was both an easier target and a closer one.
Looking at the other party becoming restless, Leylin revealed a confident smile. "We have to come up with countermeasures."
"It'll be easier to have Helm fall than have him abandon his duty, and both are impossible." Ukekelu was clearly aware of his own position.
