The Cornflower Witch Chapter 263

Life from beyond the stars is an existence incomprehensible to ordinary people. Not only does contact with them cause contamination, but even communication can lead to mental derangement and distortion.

The leader of this cult actually couldn’t understand the meaning conveyed by the other party at all. He could only imitate and repeat certain information according to the records within the cult.

Time passed by, and it seemed the other party finally gave up communicating and began to respond.

Numerous tiny insects slowly passed through the purplish-red mist, arriving in this unknown world. As soon as they appeared, they were repelled and suppressed by the world. These insects began to struggle and writhe, some directly bursting open, turning into blood mist. This blood mist then helped conceal the remaining insects, allowing a small number of them, guided by a pillar of light, to instantly cross an immeasurable distance from the edge of the world to the spell formation in the Three-pronged Forest.

During this process, many more insects shattered and died. Their remains were devoured by the surviving insects, leaving only five weak red worms slowly swimming in the spell formation.

Facing these five red worms, the cult leader let out a great sigh of relief, then refocused and commanded his cultists to act.

“The holy envoy has descended, begin the sacrifice. You all should also prepare.”

“Yes, my lord.” Several cultists with unique auras came forward. They were all members of the cult’s ‘Tier 2 Alien World’ faction.

At this moment, the previously unconscious fat man was once again awakened by a strange sensation. He opened his eyes and saw several strange red worms floating above his head, feeling terrified.

“Wh-what is this? Let me go! Quickly!”

“It’s too late, Lord Mayor.” A cultist stepped forward, held his head, and then precisely pierced the fat man’s heart with a dagger.

“You…”

The former mayor of Stream Valley City couldn’t speak at this moment. After his heart was pierced, a strange power flowed, slowly extracting his consciousness, soul, attribute, and fate disc from the wound.

Although he himself had no strength, because he became the mayor of Stream Valley City, under the blessing of ‘Royal Authority’, he gained the ‘Tier 4 Castle’ attribute rank. Under normal circumstances, ordinary Transcendent and assassins, just by getting close, would be suppressed by his ‘Castle’ attribute and be unable to exert their power.

However, after losing Stream Valley City, his attribute began to slowly decline. To maximize the value of this Stream Valley City mayor, the Hundred-Eyed Cult immediately began preparing for tonight’s ritual after settling in the Three-pronged Forest.

After all, a sacrifice with a Tier 4 rank like him was truly rare.

After being sacrificed, the ‘Castle’ attribute overflowing from his body was extracted and gradually transformed in the ritual, to be devoured by the five floating red worms. At this time, some cultists also willingly walked into the formation, plunged daggers into their chests, becoming sacrifices, dedicating their bodies and souls to the life beyond the stars.

These red worms devoured the continuously gathering blood-red mist in the spell formation, then expanded little by little. Their bodies became larger and rounder, like shallow pink flesh balls. At this time, their rank also reached ‘Tier 1 Alien World’.

Seeing that the time was ripe, several special cultists stepped forward. They slowly placed their hands on the flesh balls, and a strange wave spread, presenting a strange and alien consciousness in their minds.

At this time, they gradually communicated with it according to the secret methods passed down by the cult, and then little by little, established a connection.

When the connection between their consciousnesses slowly stabilized, they began to construct ability templates for the flesh balls before them, according to special runic marks, and guided the ‘Alien World’ power from the spell formation to transform their bodies.

These flesh balls then changed further, and their internal flesh and blood also began to change, growing complex internal organs. Their rank also slowly reached ‘Tier 2 Alien World’.

Thereafter, these special cultists nervously continued to control the growth and differentiation of the flesh balls. At this point, it was necessary to construct more complex and powerful fate disc abilities, and to establish a contract of shared life and death between them. During this process, these flesh balls expanded and grew, and the aura they emitted slowly surpassed that of the cultists in front of them. The pressure brought by their attribute rank began to make it difficult for ordinary cultists in the spell formation to breathe.

However, in the face of such a situation, many cultists became even more excited, as if they saw themselves becoming stronger as well.

“Ah—”

A strange wail came from the mouth of a special cultist. He knelt on the ground, his fingers covering his brain tightly, as if unable to bear the consciousness from the astral world. His face was distorted, and the gradually growing flesh ball before him also became strange, beginning to squirm unnaturally.

“He’s losing control,” a Tier 3 Demon Contractor muttered, then commanded the eyeball monster to target the struggling cultist.

“Wait a moment,” the leader stopped him, his gaze fixed on the struggling cultist.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the kneeling cultist continuously rolled and wailed. His fingers even dug into his own brain, as if he wanted to scoop it out to stop the invisible whispers ringing in his mind.

Seeing that the situation showed no signs of improvement, the leader shook his head slightly, then several purplish-red rays of light lit up, instantly piercing him through, turning him into a mass of perforated, shredded flesh.

At this moment, the flesh ball, which was still in the process of transformation, also disintegrated. It broke into fragmented bloody pieces and was devoured by the other four surrounding flesh balls.

In contrast, the other four flesh balls gradually stabilized at this time. Their rank slowly rose to ‘Tier 3 Alien World’, and their restless aura also gradually calmed down and became stable.

Half an hour later, a blood-red slit opened on one of the flesh balls, revealing a massive eyeball which curiously surveyed the world. Its pupil was a lavender purple, different from the blood-red eyes seen in the cult before.

Soon, the other three flesh balls also gradually took shape, transforming into ‘Tier 3 Alien World’ purple-eyed evil eyes.

“It’s a success.”

Seeing this, the leader breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he turned around and allowed the cultists to come forward, worshiping these four new evil eyes, and then kneeling before them, locking eyes with them.

The evil eyes, still imbued with the astral aura, gazed into the pairs of eyes before them, infusing a special kind of knowledge and power. Soon, the cultists’ eyes also became tinged with a faint purple.

Compared to the ‘Fuzzy-Eyed Evil Eyes’ which are skilled in offense, these ‘Purple-Eyed Evil Eyes’ possess stronger hypnotic and illusionary abilities. The cultists who imitate them and gain new abilities also acquire eyes with illusionary power.

While the ritual was taking place, outside the camp, the Anti army began its assault.

The Anti army’s previous stop for rest was merely a ruse, and the night ritual illuminated their destination. Under Katchis’s command, the army assembled, no longer searching, but directly plunging into the depths of the forest.

War began to burn in the night.
