221: Summoning Ceremony

Summoning Ceremony

The scroll looked to be yellowed. From its appearance, it had many years of history. However, what was surprising was that even after such a long period of time, it had not been weathered. From this, it could be seen how unique this scroll was.1

Pierce looked at the scroll again and activated his hint system. Soon, the golden red words appeared in front of Pierce again.

[In front of you is a scroll from hundreds of years ago. It was written by the pope before he died. The secret stored in it comes from the final cover of this shelter. If possible, I suggest that you completely decrypt this scroll first. Only then will you have the chance to find the final entrance!]

Pierce's expression changed slightly. After all, he did not know how many times this had happened, but he hated this feeling!

Ever since he came to this dark world, the entire world had been a trap for him, making him constantly search for things!

However, after seeing the hint from the hint system, he felt that this was the last time. Hopefully…

He was so close to his reward that he had no intention of giving up, so he reached out and grabbed the scroll.

Because the scroll was pressed down by the Pope's corpse, Pierce had to move the corpse first. The corpse was very light, and it scattered on the ground with just a touch.

The scattered bones stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground. Frost, who was standing behind him, frowned and looked at the dust below. The frost element in her body quietly activated!

Frost elements instantly spread from her feet to her surroundings. A layer of frost instantly condensed on the wooden floor, and even the dust above was frozen.

There was even a trace of coldness in the air. The breath of Pierce and the others turned into a white mist, showing that the surrounding temperature had fallen greatly.

Staring at the cold frost element, Pierce picked up the scroll covered in frost. Fortunately, this scroll was not completely frozen by the frost element. Otherwise, he would only obtain an ice cube.

As the scroll fell into his hand, Pierce began to size up the scroll that had existed for hundreds of years.

The entire color of this scroll was yellow. There was even scattered ink on it. Around the scroll, there were even a few holes that were opened, as if it had suffered some damage at the beginning.

Pierce was not curious about what kind of attack the scroll had suffered in the past, or the language it was written in.

He did not know the language but he had the hint system to help him with it. He knew the previous town was named Calamity Town town through it after all.

He shook his head at the naming sense. How could a normal town give itself such a disastrous name? It was simply abnormal.

The greatest hope of explaining all of this was the scroll in Pierce's hand, so he slowly opened it.

As the scroll opened, a yellow page about the size of an A4 paper appeared in front of Pierce. As expected, the words on it were written with the same language as the name of the town outside. Pierce had already activated his hint system.

Soon, the floating red words appeared in front of Pierce and translated for him.

[Glory Era 38 years. From the Town of Deves, branch of the Royal Church: Delos Wickel.]

[We could have never imagined the changes brought by that summoning. The gods in the heavens seem to have abandoned us. Countless people are being killed crazily by those monsters that came from the depths of hell. We can only struggle at death's door and hide underground to continue our lives. The only thing we can do now is to activate that forbidden summoning again. We hope to use this to search for the final method to deal with those monsters…]

From the first two paragraphs, Pierce gained some understanding of this world.

It seemed like these bishops from the royal church were curious about some taboo things and summoned them. The things they summoned were the monsters that attacked them.

Moreover, there was such a monster in every church, and the monsters distributed in every church were not evenly matched in strength.

For example, the hunchback that appeared in the red fog. In Pierce's opinion, the monsters they had encountered in this dark side were not as powerful as the hunchback.

Moreover, the nun they encountered was also very weak.

Pierce had a rough understanding of this situation.

The leaders of every church participated in the summoning ritual. Unsurprisingly, the gate they opened led to hell, allowing the monsters to enter this world.

Pierce couldn't help but pay more attention. These people had summoned the gate to hell, and had not closed it.
