Chapter 349: Chapter 349

"Ritual magic, always so strange. But I feel uneasy about it," Du You said quietly, his heightened perception ability from his spiritual perception, made surrounding threats more apparent to him.

Even though the others were unaware of this, seeing such an eerie situation, none of them dared to treat it lightly.

Ritual sacrifice was a significant occupational category, even larger than mage profession, with many professions evolving from ritual sacrifices.

Therefore, there was often some connection between ritual sacrifices and words like ancient and mysterious. Everyone was clueless about the bizarre spells these eerie sacrifices could unleash, hence they treated such large-scale sacrificial activities with caution.

"The white human sacrifices will take some time to arrive, they’re in the next batch of ships, there are no white people in this batch. But the attack cannot be suspended, this is the order from the white people’s upper class."

"So what do we do? Join them? I certainly don’t want to get slaughtered," Du You rejected immediately.

This was a joke, he was here to seize benefits. It was very normal for him to risk his life in the Other World, but sacrificing his life was an absolute no. Xi Qianxue was in the same boat as him.

Zhang Yu spread his hands, "I do not want to be killed either, so we can just let those white people go. They have to execute the orders from their superiors. Let’s do this, we disperse the white people a little, at least they won’t all die at once."

Du You and Xi Qianxue looked at each other and nodded in agreement. This was the only option.

When Zhang Yu gave the order, the white human army began to scatter slowly, led by their brave warriors.

If it were a normal situation, the brave warriors would certainly lead the team, but this time, Zhang Yu forcefully ordered the brave warriors to hide themselves in the second half of the team. Even if there were any accidents, these warriors would not suffer heavy losses. With these people, the battle became much easier.

The difference was huge between a second-tier warrior and those who were only first-tier. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

When the white humans gradually showed up, the black humans stopped patrolling and began to gather. Both sides were loose in formation, more like partaking in a brawl than a battle.

Quite a few people couldn’t help but throw their spears, the outbreak of a massive battle was imminent.

"Let’s get started, we can’t wait any longer." The black tribal chief said from his position at the highest point.

The surrounding ritual sacrificers nodded in agreement, they hoisted several prisoners onto the stage and had them kneel in front of them, then the ritual sacrificers pulled out a dagger and slit the prisoners’ throats.

Surprisingly, the prisoners seemed to have entered a bizarre state and did not resist or even change color when their throats were slit, letting their blood flow into the large basins in front of them. One by one, the prisoners died and the large wooden basins filled up with their blood.

"With the blood of sin, awaken the power of your ancestors within the warriors."

The ritual sacrificers poured the blood from the large wooden basins into the immense pot, the fresh blood boiled, turning the water in the pot vivid red. The high temperature did not cause the blood to clot.

Du You could feel the power in their vicinity start to boil, one stream after another infused into the bodies of the black soldiers in front of him. In an instant, all the black soldiers started shaking, their bodies expanding rapidly.

In a short span of time, all the black warriors grew to over three meters tall, their muscles continued to inflate, tearing their skin and exposing their grotesque bodies.

Their entire skeletal structure had mutated, their teeth grew out, similar to beast fangs. Bone spikes burst through their skin, glinting with a cold light. Some dirty blood flowed down their skin.

"Their levels have increased, the people we brought may not be able to match them." Du You’s eyes narrowed.

The levels of these people had all reached level ten, some had even exceeded level ten, when initially they were merely at level five or six. The improvement was too drastic.

"This is an explosive improvement, regardless of victory or defeat, after this battle, these black people will definitely die, their life force is entirely drained. So, none of the targets of this magic spell are the true black elites."

Zhang Yu had been watching the black ritual sacrificers casting their spells for some time and he somehow managed to see the problem with these black people. "But before their life force is exhausted, their combat power is indeed frightening."

At this moment, under orders from the black upper class, the black people charged frantically. The white human forces were originally scattered, but under these circumstances, they had to regroup.

Seeing this, everyone’s brows furrowed.

Suddenly, Xi Qianxue lifted her Magic Staff. "Ice Shield." A hail shower fell sideways from the sky, not particularly damaging. The hail fell on the white warriors and instantly solidified. It was as if they had iced up, bizarrely the ice did not affect them, merely adding a layer of icy armor.

The attacking black monsters found it difficult to break the ice armor on their first hit, instead being frozen themselves.

The mutated black monsters seemed to have forgotten how to use weapons and threw them away, relying only on their fists. Of course, it could also be because of their enlarged body size that the weapons felt awkward.

"It’s my turn, Rage Spell." Zhang Yu pointed his finger and a refined red light was released. As the light exploded, it sprinkled down on the white warriors. The white warriors, who were initially intimidated, suddenly forgot what fear was.

With blood-shot eyes, they furiously started fighting the black monsters in front of them. Despite still being at a disadvantage, they successfully stopped the black monsters.

"I didn’t expect you to be a spellcaster, this type of enhancement spell is tough to find." Du You said.

"Yes, without good luck, I would not have found this spell." Zhang Yu was quite proud. Spellcasters have never been proficient at supporting. Just about everyone was the same.

Support magic was hard to convert into spells. The fact he came across such a spell, was enough to give him a high starting point within the army. Support Spell and other Support Magic could be stacked.

Du You thought to himself that this spell must be a dual-purpose one. If directly used in the enemy’s main force, without any enemies, these enraged foes would probably attack their own companions.
