H . P . S . T Chapter 360: Full of Evil Taboos

Get ready for battle! Okegiga muttered, taking his spear out .

Looking at the slowly opening stone door, Evan focused preparing for an all out battle .

The next second, he panted and put down his wand . There was nothing in the other side of the stone gate .

At this time, the fallen Centaurs were all fighting outside, and did not expect someone to sneak in from the depths of the lake; the whole Temple of the Moon was empty .

Very well, our plan was successful . No one noticed that we have entered the Temple . Without hesitation, Okegiga turned straight to the left side of the passage . This way, human! We dont have much time to waste . We have to get to the top of the Temple before they discover us . Its our destination, where the evil rituals are going on .

Under the dim light of the torches, the ancient temple was full of mystery .

The mottled walls left only traces of years of erosion . Many Centaurs unique hieroglyphic ornaments and giant stone carvings stood quietly in the corners, covered with dust .

In the empty passage, only two peoples hurried footsteps echoed .

It was just like what Evan saw when he entered the Temple for the first time . Even after 800 years, the quiet temple had not changed .

However, he soon discovered a difference . As he passed through a huge round arched stone room, Evan noticed that the ground and the surrounding walls were covered with dark red paint .

Questions arose in his mind: What on earth are these fallen Centaurs doing?

Why did they smear their sacred Temple with red paint? This is quite unusual . He said to himself

Then, he realized he was wrong . These dark red liquids were not any pigments at all . They were all clotted blood stains . There had been a massacre here!

There were no corpses, no wreckage; only dry blood clots were left behind, quietly telling of the crimes that had occurred in this room .

Evan followed Okegiga in, his feet sticking slightly to the ground, making a slight tearing sound as he lift them .

Hiss, hiss, hiss

It sounded very disturbing, and the pungent smell of blood reached his face .

Evan felt nauseous, and he forbore himself from vomiting .

The fallen Centaurs are completely mad . They believe that the evil god can lead them to glory! Okegiga was also very uncomfortable . Following its requirements, they captured a large number of creatures and carried out massacres here . The evil god and its followers needed a lot of flesh and blood as tributes

Its crazy, lets move from here! Evan waved .

He tried to hold his breath and tighten his rib-cage, to keep himself from reacting to what he was seeing . He never expected to witness such a scene in the Centaurs Temple .

As Professor Trelawney said, the Dark Temple was full of taboos .

They moved forward quickly, across the room . The stone door opened slowly, and Evan took the lead . Then he stopped abruptly, staring at the corridor in front of him in disbelief .

On the ground not far away was the corpse of a water monster, the Grindylow .

It seemed to have been forgotten there by the fallen Centaurs . Its highly decomposed face was facing Evan . That face looked like that of a human being, and its expression was painfully twisted . The missing muscles seemed to have been eaten away by unknown creatures . Its bare eyes looked ahead with hatred!

Evan did indeed just kill one of these creatures, but this was way too brutal for him .

It was just to satisfy the killers momentary pleasure, or possibly more evil, to torture this Grindylows soul, so that it could never rest in peace .

This was the key to making Horcruxes . Through the torture before death, the soul becomes extremely unstable and easier to split, or absorbed .

Evans feeling of nausea grew stronger, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on his wand .

A golden flame emerged from his wand, burning the Grindylows body, in the hope that it would be able to rest in peace .

Thats only part of it . The crime youre about to witness is far beyond your imagination! Okegiga said coldly, with a repressed anger in his voice . The evil spirit has made the noble Centaurs degenerate into committing evil heresy, which can never be forgiven!

Evan nodded, and his mouth was full of bitterness .

He tried to calm himself down, as if it was not a big deal . He was determined to stop the evil god that was being summoned .

The circular room, all clotted with blood, seemed to be a signal . As Okegiga said, on the way back, Evan saw many unimaginable scenes .

The walls at both ends of the passage were painted with horrible monsters, swallowing flesh and blood with their tusks open .

As far as Evan knew, these devilish creatures never appeared in any magic book, as if they were of the Centaurs imagination and never existed in the world .

He actually hoped that it would be true, that these monsters were all non-existent . Otherwise he could not even imagine how to fight them . This was far beyond his knowledge and expectations .

What he saw and heard along the way gave him a new understanding of the Centaurs species .

In the words of the house-elf Dobby, if a house-elf was to become evil, then he would be bad and nonredeemable . This sentence was equally applicable to the Centaurs .

Centaurs didnt only love stargazing, Divination and archery .

These seemingly ruff magical creatures were full of unimaginable fanaticism .

Evan and Okegiga moved forward . Although they did not communicate, they both accelerated their pace unconsciously .

Hold on, thats really strange! Okegiga frowned suddenly and said . The Temple is too quiet . They would never leave it without a guard .

Although it was a secret assault, it would be a great joke if they were able to just rush to the top of the Temple and destroy the ongoing calling ceremony .

The fallen Centaurs would not be so stupid, and the extra challenge that Gryffindor posed to Evan would not be so simple . There must be something else waiting for them .

The fallen Centaurs are all fighting outside, if they cant just be here, they must have other defensive measures left behind . Evan analyzed .

He thought of the horrible statues he had seen in that room before, worm-like monsters with holes all over their heads .

Maybe we can Okegiga suddenly stopped .

He clenched his long lance and looked nervously ahead, as if something was coming .

Buzz, buzz, buzz

Evan was stunned, and wondered how there could be bees here, but he soon saw what it was . What he saw, was the furthest thing possible from bees
