Chapter 13 Black Buddha Mother
"The Buddha Mother is compassionate, saving all sentient beings..."
"Stop, stop with the talk of saving the world. Look at yourself first. Is this how you should save the world?"
A rotten, bloated lump of flesh stood upright, its lower body sprouting countless hands and feet, like centipede legs, supporting its body.
The upper body was even more gruesome; the head had disappeared, leaving only a giant mouth full of sharp teeth, constantly secreting disgusting mucus.
This is the sorcerer's current form; as alluring as she was before, she is now as bizarre as she is now.
Although she was riddled with bullets by Modi, the sect leader behind her was clearly unwilling to give up on her, or perhaps he wanted to teach Modi a lesson.
A massive curse was poured into the sorcerer's mutilated corpse, turning her into her current state.
Sensing its overwhelming aura, Mo Di's expression turned solemn.
He felt a sense of oppression emanating from this lump of flesh, much like Devialet's; without a doubt, it was a monster with superhuman strength.
If converted to the martial arts system of this world, it would be equivalent to a martial artist at the Innate Realm.
"ah--"
A sharp roar came from the mouth of the centipede, as negative emotions such as the hatred of death and the pain of losing his son exploded in his heart.
Even though he was a master of emotional regulation and had the Wendigo bloodline to enhance his mental resilience, he almost couldn't make it through.
"I can understand the pain of losing a person, but what about the grief of losing a child?"
Modi dodged the sweeping attack of the centipede with a backflip, calmed his emotions, and his eyes became serious.
"If it weren't for you, that baby would have become a sacrifice I offered to the Buddha Mother, and was eventually made into a ritual implement to nourish my child, but now it's too late."
The centipede wriggled its limbs and lunged at Modi, but was smashed away by the latter's sword.
"Oh, I see." Mo Di slung the greatsword he had taken from the Ling Group over his shoulder, his expression unchanged.
"So what? That baby deserved to die? I've been a sorcerer for quite some time now. How many people have you sacrificed for this during that time?"
"Ha, do you even remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?" the Thousand-Legged Worm sneered. "To be able to serve the Buddha Mother is their honor..."
"Don't speak words that insult my intelligence in front of me, you ignorant fool."
The giant sword swung out again, smashing the charging centipede to the ground. Blood mixed with the mucus oozing from its mouth, gradually forming a stream.
"Since you say it's an honor, then I'll send you to see your Buddha Mother." Modi's face turned slightly cold as he swung his greatsword and smashed the centipede that had just risen back into the ground.
"This specially made alloy greatsword from the Ling Group is quite useful; it's suitable for dealing with monsters of this size."
With his superhuman physical abilities, he could not only wield a giant sword that was almost as tall as him, but also wield this solid alloy block as if it were his own arm.
"Without realizing it, I've already stacked meat to this extent."
Like bouncing a table tennis ball, the centipede rose up again and again, only to be knocked to the ground by Modi time and time again.
"This guy is too tough." After fighting for so long, he hadn't achieved anything except for squeezing the juice out of it.
Rising from the ground once more, the centipede was already furious. Its body swelled with disgusting pustules, beneath which dark shadows surged.
As the abscess burst, the dark figures, no longer restrained, rushed out all at once.
"Insects?" Modi raised an eyebrow.
Those dark shadows were actually flying insects that swarmed toward the nearest enemy after leaving their mother.
After that, naturally, they were all burned to death by the spell [Blood Flame Barrier] he cast.
One after another, the insects rushed forward, but after realizing they couldn't cause any damage to Modi, they changed their strategy and flew out of the basement.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" Mo Di curled his lip, and blood mist seeped from the pores of his body, quickly covering the passage between the basement and the outside world.
Like moths to a flame, the insects that rushed into the blood mist spontaneously ignited with blood flames until they were burned to ashes.
"Although the amount of blood replenishment is not much, the quantity is large." He praised the centipede for giving him a blood pack.
To express his gratitude, he specially took out his exorcising weapon, the Gatling gun, intending to reward it with some seaweed and egg drop soup.
The kind without cauliflower and soup.
Flames erupted, exploding into bursts of blood.
Modi poured all the bullets he carried into the centipede's body, turning it into a blood-red, flame-covered beehive.
"It's still alive? Its regenerative ability is a bit over the top, or is it due to a curse within it?"
Through the [Etheric Vision], he observed that the curse within the Thousand-Legged Flesh Worm had not decreased, but rather increased.
Its origin can only be its sovereign.
"You cannot kill me, I am protected by the Black Goddess!"
The curse, while granting powerful regenerative abilities, also drove the centipede even more insane.
The sounds it makes now are no longer recognizable as human voices, but more like the roars of wild beasts.
Another wave of curses surged forth, and once the Thousand-Legged Flesh Worm had fully recovered, it recklessly bit at Modi.
Modi abandoned the Gatling gun, which was now out of ammunition, and dodged to the side, letting it chew the Gatling gun into scrap metal.
"Looks like I'll have to ask the teacher to possess me." He sighed, and the Page of Devialet was activated.
A denser mist of blood gushed from his body, and his figure completely disappeared into it, replaced by gusts of biting cold wind.
The temperature plummeted, the blood on the ground froze into ice, and even the centipede was covered in frost.
A sense of crisis arose in his heart, and his beast-like instincts prevented the centipede from making any rash moves. He tried to figure out the enemy's location.
But the obstructive layer of blood mist continued to impair its perception.
The giant sword, burning with blood flames, swept across, and before it could react, it was cut in half at the waist.
The granulation tissue at the wound grew rapidly, catching the half of the body that was about to fall off, but the ensuing blood flames also ignited fiercely.
This was not the blood flame that accompanied the previous bullets, but a cursed fire that was even more difficult to extinguish, formed by combining Devia's extraordinary power.
It not only burns flesh and blood, but also burns curses.
The cursed fire burned fiercely, yet it gave the centipede a chilling sensation that went straight to its bone.
The frigid temperatures originating from Wendigo were constantly draining its energy and making its flesh and blood more fragile. With just a light sweep of the greatsword, it could shatter its body into pieces.
It was powerless to do anything about it and could only passively endure Modi's attacks.
The accumulated injuries further diminished its rationality, and in its impotent rage, it became ferocious, dragging its massive body and rampaging through the basement.
It has to be said that this actually worked; although the basement of the Xu family manor was spacious, it inadvertently cornered Modi against the wall.
Modi remained silent, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. He shouldered his greatsword, approached the thousand-legged worm, and slashed down with it.
If the Page of Ed made him determined to kill Devia, then the Page of Devia infected him with Devia's madness.
Countless bloodthorns sprouted from the ground, simultaneously entangling him and the centipede.
His skin was torn by thorns, and the pain and bleeding became the perfect conditions for him to cast his spell.
[Burning Blood], [Painful Echoes], [Blood Pleasure], [Bloodthorn Entanglement]...
With the blessing of Devia's Page, even without spellcasting materials, he could instantly cast some spells that Devia had mastered.
The combination of numerous apprentice-level and extraordinary-level spells caused his stats to escalate repeatedly, allowing him to cleave the Thousand-Legged Flesh Worm in two with a single sword strike.
"Got you?"
On his other hand, which was not holding a sword, blood surged and solidified into an icy claw, which reached into the body of the centipede and grabbed an embryo that was beginning to take on a human form.
"puff."
With a burst of power from the ice claws, the embryo was crushed, and cursed flames ignited, burning away the escaping curse.
The centipede, split in two, let out a mournful cry, which Modi could barely make out.
"My...child..."
These words became its last words. With the death of the embryo containing the most curse, the centipede ceased to move.
The cursed fire continued to burn, and Modi stared at the rotting flesh in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
"An unborn demonic offspring—this is the child she spoke of?" Suddenly, he felt a sense of absurdity. "How many people did she sacrifice for this thing?"
It's unclear, but judging from the etheric echoes that have been lingering in this area, there are at least thirty people involved, and there are probably more sacrifices made outside of this location.
"Black Heavenly Mother..." Modi's heart skipped a beat as he realized that a gaze from an unknown source was fixed on him.
He was overwhelmed by intense malice, and a massive curse swept over him, but it was burned away by his protective curse fire.
"What, seeing that your henchmen can't beat me, you're planning to take matters into your own hands?"
He made a sarcastic remark and controlled the cursed fire to fight against the curse.
The two remained deadlocked for a while, but in the end, the curse reserves of the Black Heavenly Mother were superior, and the blessing time of Modi's pages was also nearing its end.
"This is difficult."
Modi clicked his tongue, and the upgraded version of the [Hair Loss and Skin Shedding] ritual, the [Blood Puppet Substitution] ritual, came to mind.
Thinking of this, he grabbed a blood-stained knife and mercilessly sliced off a piece of his own thigh flesh.
The missing part of the body quickly regenerated, and the piece of flesh was then transformed into a flesh and blood doll.
"Alright, teacher's power is truly impressive. It even eliminated the steps of drawing magic circles and preparing materials, and directly completed a ritual."
Once the flesh and blood doll was formed, it began to function, absorbing all the curses from Modi onto it.
The gaze of the Black Goddess slowly dissipated, and he felt a sense of relief. The blessing of the Page of Devia also disappeared at the same moment.
He absorbed the blood mist that permeated the basement back into his body, where it was stored as blood energy again.
The remains of the centipede on the ground were also included in the Bloodstained Book.
【The Evil Sorcerer - Li Lejia】
"It's actually a sorcerer, not the monster she transformed into?"
Modi glanced at the page, then took out a walkie-talkie and told someone to come down and clean the floor.
Outside the basement, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time filed in, and they couldn't help but shiver as they felt the lingering chill of the place.
"Hiss, it's so cold, and the smell of blood is so strong."
Long Yutian sneezed for the first time in a long time and rubbed his hands together.
After he settled the baby, he did consider bringing in reinforcements, but the blood mist blocked the entrance, leaving him unable to advance or retreat.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Modi was safe and sound.
