The cave in front of their eyes was the final destination of these little demons moving the bodies.
Upon seeing this, Leonard Churchill noted several monsters with sickle-like hands skillfully skinning humans, then soaking the skins in blood brimming with magical power.
Several skinless Pishtakos were gathering around the blood pool, occasionally pulling out a human skin to try on themselves.
If it doesn’t fit, they just switch to another one.
It’s as if they are trying on their own “clothing”.
Even for someone with Leonard’s mindset, the sight of this bloody spectacle was enough to make him draw a sharp breath.
There were many “humans” here.
No one cared about one more.
Leonard didn’t bother hanging around in this bloody, stinking cave.
The skinned human bodies were suspended and transported into the depths of the cave by a rudimentary pulley system.
He followed in that direction.
They were already in very deep underground.
Leonard also knew that he was getting closer and closer to the crux of this alternate dimension’s core plot.
The path had been unimpeded so far, but there were guards along this corridor.
Spotting several large demons as guards, Leonard went straight up to them without showing any sign of fear.
The big demon squad leader wearing leather armor saw a human approaching and thinking it was one of their own kind, did not raise the alarm. Instead, he spoke: “x&% ¥ #@...”
That was the demon’s language.
Leonard couldn’t understand a word of it!
But he could guess, it was probably something like “keep out of restricted areas” or “who are you”. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Leonard didn’t understand, nor had he any intention of answering.
His eyes flashed fiercely, and he slapped the big demon leader across the face.
With a “slap”, the big demon captain was left stunned.
Now looking at this flesh and blood altar in front of him, it couldn’t be any more familiar to Leonard.
“So, these demons also worship the same Silver Moon Deity?”
Gazing upon an altar hundreds of times larger than the one he had seen in Sinless City, Leonard suddenly realized something.
The history of the old gods is far older than human knowledge could fathom.
He had previously thought that the Silver Moon Sect was an external religious belief passed down from the Taren Dynasty.
But now it seemed, the origin was even older.
The same Silver Moon Deity sacrifice ceremony, appearing in this alternate dimension.
As if the illusion and reality were connected.
Seeing this, Leonard had a vague hunch: this alternate dimension is not a fabricated fiction.
Instead, the will of the space had cut out a real historical segment from the river of time, tweaked it a little, and formed these alternate dimensions.
This “Delaney Kingdom Civilization” seen now, was a civilization much older than the Taren Dynasty which had perished three thousand years ago.
It was an ancient civilization that had disappeared in the river of time.
Leonard had read sporadic mentions in some texts that there were several Dark Ages before the Taren Dynasty, when humans and gods and demons coexisted.
“How truly fascinating...”
A thought flashed through Leonard’s mind, as if he had taken a momentary journey through the vastness of the historical river.
Each ancient civilization, like dust in the river of history, was countless.
Through the medium of the alternate dimension, he, with a hyper-dimensional perspective, saw an ancient civilization that had disappeared.
This made him have more reverence for the mysteries of this world.
And more curious.
He had thought this world was a young girl veiled in one layer of mystery, but it turned out to be layered upon layers.
Before Leonard had time to ponder, the familiar Enlightenment emerged again: “You have listened to the Demonic Whispers from the abyss, exemption from mental chaos, you have touched the ‘Old Days Relic'”.
As soon as the content of the Enlightenment appeared, he saw strands of black thread in his vision converging on each other.
Then they solidified in a corner of the altar.
Seeing this, Leonard couldn’t be more familiar with it. He muttered in his heart, “I thought after the Silver Moon Sect was wiped out, there would be no more chances to interact with the Secret Cause Spirit Medium....”
