The sky is already bright, but Aiwass has not returned yet.
Isabel had a busy day yesterday and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she was freed from possession. After waking up today and just after eating, she used the Tantra of the Puppet Face to attach herself to the Great Guardian again.
Only then did she hear the information about the meteorite hitting the giant tree last night from the Great Guardian and Ligeia. She also learned about the loss of contact with Aiwass.
This made Isabel feel a little heavier.
She was not worried that Aiwass would escape or be in danger - she had absolute trust in Aiwass. Isabel believed that Aiwass was delayed by something at most.
This young and resolute queen is now simply worried about whether she can successfully complete her mission.
...She is not the real Aiwass after all.
Although the fifth-level artist has been able to imitate the power of the fifth-level path... but it is only the fifth-level, which cannot solve the problem at all. Whether it is dealing with the demon army or fighting the Fallen Heaven Division, she is probably unable to
Don't do well.
Once something goes wrong...those soldiers are innocent lives.
The lives of these people now rest on her shoulders, and the strong sense of responsibility makes Isabel feel particularly heavy.
However, she did not reveal her uneasiness.
After a slight adjustment, "Aiwass" walked out with his head held high and a smile on his face.
Her eyes shone with light—the green light of the path of beauty, but through the filter of illusion, in the eyes of others, it turned out to be the same golden-red color as Aiwass.
"——My soldiers, have you seen the giant tree over there!
"Look up and look, that giant tree carrying the meteorite is the miracle created by your great Pope!
"The despicable enemy wants to attack innocent people, tear the sky apart and make the earth roar. However, even this conspiracy will be shattered, and all innocent people will be protected!"
"Aiwass" was full of energy and declared loudly: "We will win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!!"
After defending all night, the soldiers whose enthusiasm had almost subsided were once again aroused.
The attacks of demons do not stop when night falls. Rather, they become more intense.
After all, demons do not need sleep, and dark magic will be more active at night. Moreover, demons who all have dark vision will have an advantage when fighting against human soldiers without night vision.
However, soldiers must sleep - especially spellcasters.
It’s not that you have no energy because you don’t sleep, but that you need to replenish your mana through contact with the dream world. Even the soldiers from the Black Hawk Principality, those “hunters” and “warriors”, they all need mana. And during the decisive battle,
It will definitely be during the day, even at noon, when the sun is at its strongest, so at least at that time they have to fight.
So these soldiers could only take turns sleeping in batches.
By taking the alchemical mixture and compressing it to three hours of forced sleep in the tent, they can take turns replenishing their mana. This will cause the awake soldiers to bear more pressure.
Even if there is the protection of a high-level transcendent, it will be of no avail - because these demons are used to consume their mana. Even if a certain area cannot be defended, it does not matter if the sleeping high-level transcendent is awakened urgently... that will only make things worse.
They will retain less mana the next day, and if they continue to harass them for several days, anxiety and fear will easily overwhelm the soldiers whose spirits have already been polluted.
——Fortunately, there are children of the moon who also don’t need sleep, can also gain ability gains at night, and can recover mana by preying on demons.
If Aiwass hadn't decided to bring along these hated Moon Children, their morale might have collapsed on the first night.
And these Children of the Moon have also gained initial recognition from people with their strong fighting power at night.
When they first knew that they had to mix with these "vampire monsters", many soldiers felt dissatisfied and even fearful. No one knew whether they would attack them in the middle of the night and suck them dry. That is because yesterday
In the evening, His Majesty the Pope personally came to each camp to soothe their anxious hearts and vouch for them, so that they dared to sleep peacefully.
But once the war actually started, this discrimination, vigilance and hostility quickly dissipated.
The battlefield is a roaring meat grinder. It will mince limbs and mix spirits.
On the battlefield, teammates are only divided into "awesome teammates", "reliable teammates" and "idiot teammates" - and the Moon Child, whose individual combat ability is obviously much stronger than that of the devil, is one of the "awesome teammates" that they can trust with peace of mind.
The sense of security with the backing of these people dissipated a lot of tension and gave birth to friendship and trust.
For the Children of the Moon, this is also a novel experience.
Although the children of the moon generally regard themselves as "higher creatures than humans", and therefore have a kind of unity and pride based on the ethnic group. However, they are parasitic on human society after all, and will inevitably be affected by the evaluation of human society - even if
A person does not think that someone's opinion is right at all, but as long as he hears similar comments, he has actually been affected and changed a little.
Words can kill.
From this perspective, it is inevitable that the Children of the Moon will eventually form a group perception that they consider themselves "superior". Because of the birth and predatory mechanism of the Children of the Moon, people will eventually fear and reject the Children of the Moon, and the Children of the Moon
It is impossible to ignore the impact of this kind of cognition and public opinion on oneself...
Therefore, they will directly attack those people who are wrong and label those who reject the Children of the Moon as "stupid lower creatures", thereby ignoring the impact of this view on themselves as much as possible. Belief in Xue Tiansi
, is actually the radicalization of this idea - as long as I don't recognize the existence value of those people at all, they will have no influence on me.
——But in the final analysis, it is just self-deception.
When a person repeatedly emphasizes "I don't care about your opinion," he has actually broken his defense.
There are very few children of the Moon who are born with pure blood. The vast majority of the Children of the Moon are the "zero generation", that is, children of the Moon transformed from humans, elves or werewolves. They have complete "memories of the mortal period"
, it is impossible to be completely immune to the influence of public opinion in human society.
...and now, it is the first time that they are accepted and recognized by humans. When they are no longer hunters, but as protectors; no longer as the excluded, the warned, and the hated, but as the trusted ones.
When they were accepted by their companions, it was inevitable that there would be wavering people among the Children of the Moon.
Although most children of the moon still dismiss this kind of "acceptance", and even weave a logical chain in their hearts that conforms to their world view. But there are already children of the moon who are hesitant about their own blood-sucking behavior.
——When the Children of the Moon truly realize that the people they prey on, suck blood, and kill are actually their "same race," they will inevitably feel guilty. After all, the Children of the Moon are not a naturally evil race like demons. They just "have more desires."
"Exuberant" human beings do not become bloodless and tearless blood-sucking demons by becoming children of the moon.
The first and oldest Children of the Moon - those who believe in the Eternal Self, adhere to the "Code of Dedication", that is, they can only absorb the blood of those who voluntarily donate.
But in this case, the Children of the Moon race would not be able to spread at all, and would even slowly die out. The seniors of the Children of the Moon in the past were aware of this problem, so they became independent as a "higher race", thus allowing the younger generations to
Ignore this problem as much as possible.
But after all, they do not have their own culture. After all, they are still attached to the human race, and they are not even reproductively isolated from humans at all - even the identity of the children of the moon can be partially inherited through inheritance. From this perspective, they can actually only be regarded as a kind of people.
They are just a special type of human being. They are similar to those with super powers among humans.
Now, Aiwass has thrown this problem to them again, so that the Children of the Moon must face up to this problem.
——If we are really the same species as human beings, then the blood-sucking trip...
The few awakened Sons of the Moon hesitated and thought of the vast mist they had seen a few days ago.
Speaking of which, Wu Tiansi... used to be the protector of the Son of the Moon.
Thinking this way, they hesitated in their hearts.
But the moment they felt guilty about their blood-sucking behavior and doubted the racial education they received.
At the same time, they heard a somewhat unfamiliar but gentle voice:
"My children, I am glad that you realize this..."
That is exactly Wu Tiansi’s voice!
——Oh my god, Tiansi is here in person!
These lucky children of the moon were almost trembling with excitement!
When had they received such treatment before?
There is no need to say anything about Heng... No matter it is Xue Tiansi or Yan Tiansi, it is impossible for them to have time to deal with ordinary sons of the moon like them. The few who heard Xue Tiansi's voice basically scolded or ridiculed them.
.It is even more impossible to have such a gentle attitude, as tolerant and kind as a mother.
Without exception, they all changed their beliefs and accepted the power given by Wu Tiansi.
That's a new ability called "Atomization"!
This ability replaces the power of their bat form, allowing them to atomize. This bypasses many of the inherent flaws of the Moon Children, and even makes their thirst for blood much lighter.
And this is just the first step.
Wu Tiansi promised that if they can further repent of their past sins and kill these fallen demons, they can gradually transform into new lives that are also immortal but do not need to suck blood!
——Isn’t that a perfect person!?
They're excited about it.
In the legend of the Children of the Moon, the so-called "perfect man" is the Son of the Moon who has lost all his shortcomings. He must suck blood to survive, and naturally this must be included in the shortcomings - they are now stepping on the blessed holy soil,
They briefly experienced the beauty of being a "perfect person". Because of this, these children of the moon did not feel the uncontrollable thirst for blood that could make people lose their minds.
There is no need to suck blood, there is nothing regrettable about it.
Just like some extraordinary beings don't need to eat, they don't make people constantly hungry, but they continue to be satisfied; some people don't need to sleep, and they don't feel constantly sleepy, but are always awake. Although they don't suck blood, they seem to be full.
As clear as blood and feeling comfortable all over.
But now, Wu Tiansi promised them that this will be the norm in the future!
Even if you leave this land, you can get rid of the blood-sucking curse!
This can be said to be quite tempting to these children of the moon who are aware of the "sin of blood-sucking"!
And Wu Tiansi encouraged them to strive for more Children of the Moon to come to his side - this made the Children of the Moon look at each other, quietly looking for "similar people" in the crowd. When they saw familiar faces looking at them
, they will show a knowing smile together; and they will also feel sorry when they see their friends are still ignorant.
——If possible, they also hope that their friends can come to "their side".
These "good fallen" Sons of the Moon have increasingly stabilized the situation. These "Children of the New Moon" who have initially gotten rid of the flaws of the Sons of the Moon, actively lead mankind to expand outward - no longer fishing, but doing their best to
Even risk your life!
So after the sun rose, the battle situation got better and better. The Sons of the Moon became the main force in the battle, and the mages also realized that the Sons of the Moon had changed from passive defense to active attack, and began to assist the Sons of the Moon in the battle.
The mages with these wisdom paths provide overall command, and the increasingly excited Sons of the Moon continue to repel the demons - and feel their bodies becoming free little by little!
That is a more fascinating experience than blood-sucking!
Every time you kill a demon, you will feel that your body becomes lighter and your mind becomes clearer!
The attacks of these "Children of the Moon" became more and more fanatical and exciting.
Gradually, their movements and movements brought up a thin mist. The hazy white mist covered the entire battlefield without knowing when, and the demons began to be directly strangled by the invisible white mist before they landed.
One after another, the "Children of the Moon" began to master the use of mist.
And with them at the front, resisting the most brutal charge, the human soldiers also showed unprecedented resilience!
As more and more soldiers woke up, their strength was gradually replenished. The soldiers gradually recovered their mana, and the front began to fully advance outward!
When they started to push outward, it was overwhelming!
The increasingly fanatical "Children of the Moon" began to shout - their depraved emotions were transformed into fighting intent, and their strong killing intent was integrated into the devil.
The demons were confused and were repelled by these children of the moon.
In the end, the demons couldn't bear it anymore and called for help.
So when the sun rose to its highest point, the situation changed——
Swarms of flies all over the sky accompanied the arrival of the plague.
