C18 All Who Draw Fire

Just as he had promised David, Solomon did not bring any guards or troops from Royal City.

He only brought the people of Israel, who were holding the reed flute, and the priests who were playing the horns, out of the city and came to the eastern side of the Hidden Luo Knot, near the Boulder Altars.

But they could only go near the altar.

From the core of the Sanskrit Limestone Altar, the world within a radius of three hundred meters had turned into a sea of fire that humans could not approach.

The outermost part was a wall of fire about five to six meters wide and more than three meters tall. The wall of fire rotated clockwise, forming a huge ring that was slowly expanding.

And inside the wall of fire were several pillars of fire that reached into the sky. The fire pillars revolved around the altar in reverse clockwise direction, and there was almost no gap in the middle... Only hunters with excellent eyesight could see from the gap that they were tightly clinging onto the altar. Adonijah, who was completely drenched from the heat.

The sky several kilometers away from the altar was filled with dark clouds. Those dark clouds were like whirlpools as they spiraled downwards and collapsed. At the very center, they were connected to the fire pillar in the middle of the altar.

The dark clouds were as thick as the earth, and the pure black clouds could not see the sun. The sun, which was emitting heat waves, fell to the ground. From the outside, it looked like the sky and the earth were upside down.

When the citizens of Israel saw this scene, they trembled and did not dare to take half a step forward. Some of the timid ones even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sun in fear.

"People of Israel, if you kneel before Bari, you will be guilty!"

Solomon only shouted at the top of his voice.

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

They saw Solomon roll down from his donkey, wearing a white robe and walking towards Adonijah.

He stood outside the fire wall and shouted at Adonijah who was inside, "Come down, Adonijah!"

"You swear you won't kill me!"

Adonijah was sweating profusely. He was leaning on the pillar of the altar and was about to collapse.

Once he loosened his grip, he would fall into the flames and burn into ashes.

Solomon raised his right hand and shouted, "I swear to the Lord that I will not use my weapon against my brother Adonijah! The blade in my hand will not come to him. Anyone with a blade in their hand is in the Israel. Don't hurt him."

"Swear to the Lord that it is useless!"

Adonijah hesitated for a moment and shouted again, "Swear to Bari!"

"How dare you!"

The Prophet took out his scepter and shouted angrily, then slammed it heavily onto the ground.

His eyes were filled with burning anger - - - that was not a description, but a real fire burning in his eyes.

Two extremely hot flames formed a ray of light and shot out from his eyes. Just staring at the flames would cause people's eyes to hurt.

That burning gaze swept forward with a loud bang, and the air became distorted and blurry, expanding outwards.

However, the instant that fiery light was about to reach the altar, a large cluster of flames rose from the ground, entangling themselves like a vortex, dispelling that scorching light in all directions.

Meanwhile, a white light also lit up within the Abyssus' eyes - Four illusory wings of light rose from behind her, the earth in her eyes beginning to swiftly disintegrate. A deep gully swiftly extended towards the Boulder Altar from before her.

The disintegrating power collided with the power of the flame vortex and then disappeared. However, under the gaze of the Demon God Paimon, large cracks appeared on the wall of fire.

Although the two attacks didn't hurt Adonijah in the end, the divine power that Solomon displayed stunned him on the spot.

Didn't they say that the gods of Israel had abandoned them?

Could it be that Solomon also... worshiped the devil god?

However, just as Adonijah was in a daze, the flame shadow that appeared from the altar greeted Solomon in a friendly manner.

"Solomon, I recognize you."

A joyful voice came from the flame and lightning. "You have David's ring on your hand. I saw how you dealt with Joab... I like your style. Do you want to be my priest? I can give you the blessing of fire and lightning. Give Israel a fertile land."

"Bari, no, you are Barras this month."

The Prophet took back his burning gaze and said with a frown, "I remember that before you fell, you were the Sun God of the Finkian people, the God of War of the Barbens... but you had nothing to do with the Israel."

"There will be one in the future, Fraulos."

A laughing voice was heard. A slender human figure wearing a blood red full-body armor and holding a giant hammer suddenly jumped out of the fire pillar, causing an uproar among the people of Israel behind Solomon.

His helmet turned into flames and disappeared, revealing his dark brown hair that was like a storm. His horns were raised high, and his brilliant golden pupils were as brilliant as the sun. His face was as beautiful as a woman, but his facial features were full of aggression.

Including her sheep like hooves, her height was close to two meters. And the giant hammer in her hand, which was as tall as her, was filled with an extremely powerful deterrent force.

If she could look at her face that was similar to a human's, it would probably greatly reduce her fear of Bari. However, her face was full of flashing lightning, ordinary people could not look directly at it.

As a top level Demon God, Bari also had many appearances. In March, she would appear in the form of a cruel female warrior. At this time, she should be called Barras.

"Be careful... Solomon!"

The Prophet said nervously in a low voice, "Although Bari is the strongest Demon God, the secret treasure is useful."

Then he raised his voice and said, "Barras! I wanted to ask before... If you don't stay in Babilun, what are you doing in Israel? "

The Prophet, Natan, stared at Balas without fear." You are not welcome here! "

"What does that have to do with me? I am here to look for Yannna, Fraulos."

The corner of Barras' mouth curled up, and he said without fear, "Garbo told me that her name as a Demon God was Astaroth, and she was born in Israel. Have you seen her before? "

"I haven't seen her..."

... "Bari, no matter where Goddess Inana is, I don't care. This is my country."

Seeing that the Prophet was at a complete disadvantage in front of the aggressive Barras, Solomon suddenly interrupted, "Leave the altar. Or let me banish you from here. "

As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, he raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, then lightly punched at Baras.

Before Solomon's fist could hit Balas, her body suddenly trembled, and instinctively jumped backwards. Before she landed, she raised the giant hammer in her hand, and abruptly swung it towards the ground.

At that moment, the sky collapsed.

Violent lightning fell from the sky and struck Solomon's body.

However, after the lightning strike, Solomon was still unharmed.

"Wait, Solomon?"

Balas frowned and was about to speak. A brilliant light shone in Abisha's eyes again. The wall of fire in front of Baras collapsed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Baras glared at Abyssus angrily, then turned around and jumped into the thundercloud. The collapsed dark thundercloud instantly returned to its clear state, and Baras also disappeared without a trace.

The people of Israel, who were almost scared silly by the huge thunder, immediately cheered and cheered when they saw that Solomon was fine. They saw Solomon sending Bari flying with a single punch, bathing in the lightning, but he was still unharmed, and even expelled the devil god. Then, they praised Solomon in a loud voice.

The flames and thunderclouds dissipated. The only thing protecting Adonijah was the three twisted pillars of fire that surrounded the altar.

Solomon spread his hands and walked forward fearlessly. Everyone held their breaths again and looked at Solomon.

"You should see -"

Solomon's face was solemn, and his voice was shaking. "I walk on the path of righteousness! Therefore, neither fire nor lightning can be hurt! "

After he finished speaking, he stepped into the pillar of fire that pierced through the sky. The three pillars of fire continuously stirred Solomon, but he was still standing there unharmed.

Seeing the miracle, the crowd cheered again.

Adonijah was completely paralyzed on the altar.

"Adonijah, come down!"

Solomon suddenly shouted angrily.

That voice was like thunder, causing Adonijah to panic. He fell down from the altar and landed beside Solomon's feet.

The fire pillar that could only blow Solomon's clothes was merciless to Adonijah. The burning flames ignited his body in an instant, burning his skin in the blink of an eye. The dark red flames gradually lit up inside his body, and his bones and muscles collapsed.

"Z-Solomon!"

A miserable scream came from under Solomon's feet. Adonijah, who was burned into a fire skull in an instant, grabbed Solomon's calf and cried loudly, "Help!"

Before he could finish his words, he was burned into ashes. The right hand that grabbed Solomon burned at a visible speed, turning into flesh and blood, bones, and then dissipated.

Even the scratch marks were burned away by the flames, leaving no trace behind.

Solomon was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his expression and announced with a solemn face, "You should see what happens to Adonijah! Anyone who attracted the fire would be burned. Those who worshiped Bari would be burned to death by Bari. "

His voice was wrapped in flames, and there was a strange echo in his voice. "Only those who are righteous can walk in the flames of the devil. They will not be burned!"

" I will expel Bari here! "

Solomon sang loudly and waved his right hand three times.

His ring touched the fire pillar three times. The three fire pillars dissipated into thin air, leaving only the distorted hot air behind.

As a result, all abnormalities were eliminated. The Limestone Altar returned to its original state.

Solomon slowly stretched out his right hand and prayed to the people who were staring at him with widened eyes, "God bless Israel -"

The people were shocked by the continuous miracles and did not realize that anything was wrong. Then, an unprecedented fanatical shout burst out from the crowd. "God bless Israel!"

"God bless King Solomon! God bless Israel!"
