The world of beauty drama begins with the surrender of Jason

Chapter 395: Madonna Lily, the Giant Beast Appears

The withered flowers are quietly suspended several centimeters above the ground, seemingly unwilling to be bound by the earth, yet having never truly left, revealing a sense of loneliness and purity.

Milky white holy light overflowed, filling the surrounding space with a faint sense of peace.

Zhu Mingyao suddenly looked up and his nostrils flared slightly.

With so many refugees crowded together, plus fighting and turmoil, one can imagine the air quality inside the supermarket.

However, the sour stench of the monster's body fluids, the burnt fire, and the choking dust stirred up by the battle had now dissipated without a trace, as if quietly enveloped by an ethereal and quiet power, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.

"It's not an illusion. The fragrance of flowers is real..."

Bai Ziyuan took a few deep breaths, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Pure energy distorts reality to form matter, what a powerful method."

Extraordinary people use their spirituality to control the power of heaven and earth. They can certainly control water and fire and call down wind and thunder out of thin air, but most of those effects are just the product of the combination of magic power and the vitality of all things. The spell will dissipate as soon as its effect ends.

However, if one wants to materialize it semi-permanently, a huge price must be paid and it cannot be done without a powerful person.

I tried several techniques to collect the petals, but they disappeared without a trace, like flowers on a mirror and the moon on water.

Zhu Mingyao's brain raced and he took out a six-sided crystal stone that was as clear as glass. It was exactly the gift that Grom, the owner of the witchcraft shop, gave him when he was shopping in Orleans last Halloween.
——White crystal for exorcism after being baptized and blessed with holy water.

A dim silver light flashed on the crystal, and the thin, pure white petals trembled slightly, as if they sensed the faint holy power with a similar aura. They then swayed twice reservedly and lazily floated into it.

Then it suddenly collapsed, turning from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and became a strange-shaped mark like a stick figure.

"It's getting more and more confusing." Bai Ziyuan said with a bitter smile, full of complaints: "It seems that just finding a botanist is not enough, we need to add a runeologist."

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later." Zhu Mingyao spread his hands casually, not intending to waste any more time on this topic.

At this moment, an anxious voice interrupted.

"Gentlemen... excuse me for interrupting you, but are you discussing this flower?" David handed his son to his wife who had regained consciousness and came closer, rubbing his hands.

After the thrilling scene just now, David knew very well that these two mysterious young men in front of him were his family's only hope to escape, so he treated them with great courtesy.

"Based on my twenty years of experience in still life painting, it should be a... Madonna lily."

He is quite confident in his expertise and speaks confidently:

"Pure white flowers have been regarded as symbols of purity, loveliness and majesty since ancient times. During Easter and Christian ceremonies every year, the Roman Catholic Church uses lilies of the valley as a specific decoration to symbolize greatness and holiness. People send them to each other to express good wishes, and its most common use is to worship the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus."

David paused for a moment and added, "In religious studies, the Madonna lily has another meaning. It represents purity among the seven virtues."

Church, ritual, holiness... several sensitive words that seemed to be related kept circulating in Zhu Mingyao's mind, but before he could figure out what they were, his eyebrows suddenly raised and a strong pressure rose in his spiritual sense.

The earth shook slightly.

Another click.

The vibrations were getting closer and stronger, and the old woman's crazy words before her death flashed through his mind.

"The Beast is coming..."

……

"Huh, huh."

A bald man was running madly, with flashing and jumping lightning crisscrossing under his feet, splitting the air blocking his way and increasing his speed to the limit.

"Asshole! Didn't those officials guarantee that there wouldn't be any overly powerful enemies here? That's complete bullshit!"

The wall tiles shattered into red debris, and the man ran through a house in front of him in a panic.

"Cough cough!" After wiping the dust off his face, he was just about to raise his eyes to identify the direction when a huge black shadow that looked like a stone pillar suddenly fell down. He only had time to utter a quick curse before it disappeared from there.

The [Stone Pillar] floated away, leaving a flattened meat pie lying in its place. The bald man, who had a strong supernatural power, died without any resistance.

Xin stepped on a living person to death, but it seemed as if he had stepped on an insignificant ant. The black shadow continued to move, swaying, and followed by a mountain-like haze.

Right in front of the haze, large groups of flying monsters such as scorpion tails were swarming like locusts, sweeping through human buildings along the way. Hidden places such as basements and attics were filled with screams from time to time.

A monster composed entirely of grayish-white flesh membrane sensed the breath of living creatures. Its flat body, like a kite, opened the glass window and rolled towards an old couple who were shivering and hugging each other.

At the critical moment, a golden-red flame flew across the sky like a miniature meteor and blasted it into a fireball.

"This road doesn't work!"

As the words came, bright light illuminated the white mist, and layers of hazy blue waves appeared out of thin air. The water pipes in front of and behind the surrounding shops and houses burst at the same time, and streams of water merged into the waves, making it seem both real and illusory.

Countless monsters shaped like insects, pterodactyls, kites or other forms were all fallen into an ice cave at the slightest touch. Their bodies were covered with thick frost and they fell to the ground like stones and shattered into pieces, but they were frozen stiff.

Zhu Mingyao turned over and jumped onto the tallest roof nearby, looking into the distance with awe. Even though it was covered by fog, the opponent's powerful aura still made people secretly frightened. A head-on battle would probably affect a very wide area.

So he left Bai Ziyuan to guard the survivors, and he took the initiative to attack and block the front.

As the earth trembled, in the thick and misty fog, a giant and eerie shadow gradually emerged from blurry to clear.

The man was at least a hundred meters tall, with his head and upper body half floating and half sinking in the haze. Only a dozen long fleshy tentacles hung from his mouth, like a beard.

His huge body is almost like an even-toed ungulate creature. If I have to describe it, it's like a combination of a rhinoceros and an elephant. His brown-grey skin is covered with wrinkles and ravines, and is engraved with deep and strange lines, like sparse clouds. It carries a sense of both ethereal and solemnity, and seems to be about to collapse at any time and merge into the vast mist.

Six giant legs like stone pillars supported the deformed body, which was covered with dense honeycomb-like holes, with many worms as thick as arms crawling in and out.

Where the legs meet the chest and abdomen, strings of large and small purple-white ovals hang there, with a thick, oily sheen floating on the skin, just like the abundant fruits in the golden autumn season.

A large number of its followers were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the giant beast stopped cautiously, showing its considerable wisdom.

An ancient and vague spiritual thought exploded in Zhu Mingyao's heart, turning into a few scattered mutterings.

Get out of the way...give me...meat...die...
