Chapter 233: Demigod Ritual

Translator: Lonelytree

Lawrence suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air.

“Stop!”

Everyone’s symptoms instantly stopped.

“As I said, I just want to invite everyone to watch my performance.” Lawrence bowed slightly.

“My tolerance is very limited. Let’s not make each other unhappy, okay?” The audience was silent.

Even if there were a few adventurers among the nobles, they had also experienced the power of the Plague King’s domain at this moment.

They looked at each other. Some were gesturing to each other, while others were using secret tools to contact the outside world.

There was still a little chaos in the audience, but Lawrence turned a blind eye to it.

He asked a red-masked man to carry away Mrs. Jess’s body, which had been corroded beyond recognition by the poison.

Then, he turned around and walked to the trembling actors.

“Lawrence…My lord. ”

Brandon, who played the male lead, was also very discerning.

He immediately gave up his seat and apologized submissively,

“If you’re willing to play the role, this scene will definitely take it to the next level. Forgive my ignorance and arrogance in the past. Previously, I dared to point fingers at you…”

Laughing, Lawrence patted Brandon’s shoulder.

“No, Brandon, I’m actually very grateful to you. Although you love to mock me just like them, at least your guidance on acting has benefited me a lot.”

Brandon heaved a sigh of relief and said in a flattered tone,

“No, no, that’s what I should do…

But before he could finish, Lawrence lifted his neck, and the female lead beside him screamed.

“But you still have to die.” Lawrence said gently.

Brandon struggled in fear.

“W-why? I-I didn’t offend you more than anyone else. Lawrence, do you remember? In the past, I thought that you didn’t have any luck with women, so I specially introduced girls to you.”

Lawrence smiled.

“Are you talking about the girls you abandoned after getting pregnant?”

Brandon quickly explained,

“I did it out of good intentions. They’re all good girls. You can’t kill me because of this!”

Lawrence shook his head.

Even though you’re a scumbag who loves to have sex with underage girls and then get them to get an abortion, I really don’t hate you because of this. I just really, really need your face right now. After all, the audience below the stage is here to see you, dear Mr. Brandon.”

As he spoke.

Under Brandon’s horrified gaze, Lawrence’s hand quickly slid across Brandon’s neck as if it were surgery.

There was a piercing sound.

A piece of fresh human skin appeared in Lawrence’s hand.

Brandon screamed and fell to the ground.

Only flesh and bones were left on his face!

However, the audience was silent.

The Plague King’s domain had completely expanded.

A powerful force pressed down on everyone’s throats, rendering them unable to make a sound. They could only stare in horror as Brandon rolled back and forth on the stage!

Lawrence turned a blind eye to the man.

Brandon rolled a few rounds on the stage and soon fell into the shadows backstage. He was completely silent.

With a pounce.

The lights on the stage dimmed.

“Now, let’s continue our performance. You don’t have to be afraid. Just treat me as Brandon.”

Lawrence put Brandon’s face on, and he looked exactly like Brandon!

The actors had obviously not recovered from the huge impact, but under Lawrence’s tyranny, they could only brace themselves and start working.

When the fourth act began.

The voice-over stuttered and only regained its previous fluency after getting used to a few passages.

The lights lit up.

The time and scenery on the stage returned to the scene when the male lead, Duradin, and his party had just returned to the island.

However, this time.

All the actors looked distracted.

Lawrence was the only one who performed exceptionally well.

Everyone knew that he was a demon who killed without blinking.

However, as the plot progressed on stage.

Many of the audience’s consciousness gradually blurred.

They held their chins and began to enjoy the plot on stage with great interest. They did not notice the abnormality of the other actors at all!

In the first row.

Matthew looked at the stage thoughtfully.

“So, is this the real show tonight?”

On the data panel.

Hint: You are currently in the domain of the Plague King!

Equalized Perception: You have detected that the Plague King Lawrence has two major domains:

Domain 1 (Plague): Weak strength, at most at the level of “Profound”. Domain 2 (Performance): Powerful Strength, at least Master level.

Warning: You are participating in a Demigod (Advancement) ritual!

Demigods.

It was a special title that symbolized strength but was not completely related to it.

A powerful demigod might have power comparable to a god, and his level might be above level 28, which was in line with the identity and level of the ”

Divine Domain.’

As for the weak demigods, it was very difficult to define their limits.

In theory, there were demigods with a total level of a measly 1. The true combat strength of such demigods was about Tier 2 to Tier 3. The exact situation depended on their class, abilities, and other factors.

Just like how the level wasn’t the only determinant regarding one’s power.

It was the same for the divine personas..
