Chapter 81 The Guangyao Society
The aura of terror is everywhere.
The entire huge cave trembled under this force.
The appearance of the terrifying and huge demon lord Demogorgon caused all the Kuo-Toa and Ixi Rays to stop fighting, with disbelief mixed with deep emotions. The eyes of deep fear were forced to look past him uncontrollably.
The powerful arrival of the demon lord seems to be shaking the entire dark area, and the irresistible power is also shaking everyone's fearful heart.
The demon lord in front of him roared up to the sky, as if he was venting the anger accumulated over thousands of years.
An unstoppable force ran directly through the small town of Slobudo, where the Kuo Tao fish people lived, causing everyone's hearts to tremble, and some even lay on the ground shivering.
The Demon Prince Demogorgon!
As the most direct manifestation of the will power of the Abyss, Demogorgon’s story is completely the most inspiring counterattack of a loser in the multiverse.
In that era when the master of the bottomless abyss was the demon Obiris.
The first and last ruler of the Abyss - the Queen of Chaos, who defeated the then-demon prince - born from the original Chaos and the evil Prince of Insects, Obox Obo, thus gaining the undisputed title to the Abyss of domination.
After gaining dominance over the Abyss, Queen of Chaos began to plan a war that would drag the entire multiverse into chaos and destruction.
For this war, the Queen of Chaos created the tanar'ri, a new type of demon spawned from evil mortal souls.
Although they are weak, they have unlimited growth potential.
More importantly, their number is endless.
The demon prince Demogorgon was the first Tanar'ri created after Chaos.
It was just the original Demogorgon, weak and ugly.
So the Queen of Chaos abandoned Demogorgon as a failure in disgust and left it to fend for itself.
The result can be imagined. Chaos, the ruler of the bottomless abyss, was overthrown by the elemental army from the wind elemental plane, and was beaten to his lair by the thorn-loving angels from the upper plane.
During this great change, the Tanar'ri demons overthrew the rule of the Obiris demons and became the new masters of the Abyss.
At the same time, Demogorgon also made a strong appearance, defeating the twelve most powerful Tanar'ri demon lords at the time, and became the third generation demon prince. [Remarks: Volume 3 of "Demonology": The Origin of Tanar'ri]
A poor loser with nothing, after living in poverty for a while, suddenly became invincible, married Bai Fumei, and started his life from then on peak.
This kind of plot is simply a model of pretentious and slap-in-the-face counterattack writing.
As one of the three giants of the Abyss, Demogorgon’s strength is unquestionable.
As a reborn person, Brian naturally knows a lot about the many demon lords in the abyss.
Not only did he know the past of the demon prince Demogorgon, but he also knew his future very well.
Looking into the distance, there is a terrifying monster with two heads that looks like a baboon. It is running towards the altar with the water of the dark lake flowing.
Brian pulled the sword mage beside him and turned away without hesitation.
Because Demogorgon has two heads, he has been consuming strength in the struggle against himself for a long time.
Because He has two heads, one is crazy and the other is rational.
And each head wanted to control the other, Amur controlled Demogorgon's left head, and Hesladi controlled the right head.
Each head cannot control the other, nor can it kill the other without dying itself.
At the same time, both heads firmly believe that the disappearance of one of them will not only not lead to their own death, but will also make him stronger.
So, these two heads have been fighting each other for countless years.
Unfortunately, most of the attempts failed.
However, he finally came up with an extremely crazy method.
That is to use the radiation energy of the ley lines surging in the underdark area to descend one's own incarnation, trying to absorb unprecedentedly huge energy from the main material world.
In the name of 'Father of the Deep Sea' Li Mogugen, he made the Kuo Tao fish fight each other, and then let another of his followers, the Ixi Rays, use the power of death and blood. , you can see it by letting your incarnation descend into the Underdark.
Demogorgon's plan has been prepared for a long time.
It didn’t start three years later as Brian knew it well.
Despite this, he knew that Demogorgon's plan not only failed, but also failed completely.
Demogorgon's power naturally allows him to have all kinds of lovers.
The two most famous ones are the former Succubus Queen Sami Amore and the current Succubus Queen Mecantheut.
Sami Amor first fell in love with Demogorgon, and then was successfully taken over by Melcanshut, a mistress, and imprisoned in the 'Well of Darkness' on the 76th floor of the Abyss.
The rise of the succubus queen Malkanthet allowed her to rely on her close relationship with the demon prince, which led to her strong rise in the bottomless abyss.
But this is where the upheaval happened.
Three years later, the demonic catastrophe caused by the spider wizard suddenly made the Succubus Queen notice Demogorgon's plan for the main material world.
If the plan succeeds, Demogorgon will use this extremely huge energy to merge his dual personalities into a unified whole.
Once this great goal is accomplished.
There is no doubt that Demogorgon will no longer be just the 'Prince of Demons', but will become the 'King of Demons'.
When the Succubus Queen learned of the Demon Prince's plan and the possible consequences, in order to protect her status and power, she betrayed her ugly and terrifying lover without hesitation.
So, as the catastrophe broke out in the Underdark.
The Succubus Queen Malkanthet secretly controls a group of legendary adventurers from the material world, and quietly sneaks into Demogorgon's hometown in the Abyss.
Just when Demogorgon was concentrating his strength and putting his plan in full swing in the Underdark, his hometown was stolen by adventurers with the secret assistance of the Succubus Queen.
Otherwise, the catastrophe in the Underdark would not have ended so easily.
As for whether Demogorgon died because of his crazy plan, Brian didn't know until he was reborn.
He only knew that with the end of the catastrophe in the Underdark Region, the Succubus Queen, who did not descend into the avatar and cleared the dungeon of the Underdark Region together, became the biggest beneficiary.
".Blood, death, killing. Crazy!"
Demogorgon rushed from the dark lake to the altar. He roared and murmured to himself crazily.
During the process of marching, His tentacles were like snakes, twisting wildly, randomly lashing out at the surrounding Kuo-toa fish and Ixi rays.
The moment the tentacles that shot through the air came into contact with the Kuo-Tao fish-man, it was as if it was being slapped on soft tofu, and masses of bloody and fleshy minced meat erupted.
This caused countless Kuo Tao fish and Ixi rays to flee frantically.
Demogorgon danced his tentacles, roaring and laughing like a maniac.
The terrifying sound made the fish and rays who were closer to him instantly focus all their attention on Demogorgon with their fanatical eyes.
While shouting ‘Li Mogugen’, they worshiped crazily. "The avatar is occupied by a crazy head?" Seeing the irrational demon lord and fish-man, Brian had a doubt in his heart.
The Underdark is filled with a special magical energy that the drow call leyline radiation.
This arcane power of unknown origin can be traced back to an ancient elven magic cast by the dark elves when they were exiled from the earthly world.
Under normal circumstances.
The energy radiated by the ley lines and its own attributes will be used by the drow and other races in the Underdark to defend their settlements or perform magic.
However, as the spider wizard completely awakened the energy radiated by the earth's veins, the entire underdark area was suddenly filled with a wild surge of magic, causing any underground or surface residents who stayed in the earth's radiation area for too long, they would undergo three levels. saving throw against madness.
If the test fails, you are likely to fall into temporary, long-term, or permanent madness.
Because of this, the Underdark has become a realm of madness and chaos that the demons of the abyss are familiar with, and in disguise they have become an accomplice of the demons in spreading madness in the Underdark.
So, when Brian saw such a crazy Demogorgon for the first time, his first reaction was that the other party was probably also affected by the radiation of the earth's veins, which caused him to become so violent and violent. Crazy and bloodthirsty.
But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that the leyline radiation at this time was only triggered, and it was not as terrifying as when it completely broke out three years later.
"In other words, the autonomous consciousness of this incarnation is likely to be occupied by Demogorgon's crazy thoughts." Brian guessed the thought that made him secretly frightened.
If this is the case, Demogorgon was stolen by a team of adventurers, causing the plan to fail. It is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Vaguely, Brian, who has lived in two lifetimes and is familiar with future history, has already guessed a terrible fact.
“Let’s go!”
He glanced at the sword mage beside him, quickened his pace and ran towards the dock without looking back.
At this time, the appearance of the demon lord made him dare not use the teleportation spell at all.
Otherwise, the surging magical energy is likely to attract Demogorgon's attention.
Being targeted by the incarnation of a demon lord, being able to die happily is the greatest mercy for him.
Having self-awareness, he would not challenge the opponent without overestimating his own capabilities. He could only recite one sentence secretly in his heart: 'Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty. ’
When his strength grows, he must follow the legendary adventure team, or drive the floating city to demolish Demogorgon’s lair.
"Roar!!!"
At this moment, the demon lord Demogorgon seemed to feel that the pursuit was not enough, and once again tilted his two heads back and let out two huge roars mixed together. .
The earth was tearing apart and roaring, and the roaring sound filled the whole world.
The stone walls of the huge cave rippled like calm water being broken; the stones cracked, dust with debris spewed out from the cracks, and large rocks fell from the rock walls.
“Boom!”
Like a landslide and a crack in the ground, whole pieces of rocks and stalactite pillars fell from the cave roof, violently hitting the Kuo Tao fish and the Ixi rays. The powerful impact blew them away like fallen leaves.
The gravel and dust caused by the impact also filled the huge semi-dark cave, blocking their sight.
The moment I heard the roar.
Brian, who had run away long ago, was still frightened by a wave of fear.
This fear was more terrifying than anything he had seen in his nightmare. He felt his whole body shaking and his hands and feet shaking.
Although the sword mage Hesaya standing next to him was a little stronger than him, his face was also pale, and heavy cold sweat flowed down his delicate face like wax tears.
Although the roaring sound temporarily shocked Brian's ears and mind, as a psion, he still retained a trace of clear consciousness.
With a thought, he concentrated hard and used the "mind blank" ability that increased the will save.
Then he suppressed his physical discomfort, squeezed out the last bit of strength, took out a handful of silver powder, and sprinkled a ring around him and Hesiah.
——"One-ring spell: protection from evil!"
As he murmured powerful spells from his mouth, the silver powder beneath their feet shone like stars in the dim cave.
At the same time, a nearly invisible magic barrier surrounded him.
A soft and clear radiance seemed to bloom from his soul, soothing all kinds of severe pain and fear, and gradually stabilizing Brian's consciousness.
Protect from evil.
The simplest first-level spell, but such a low-level spell, under the current circumstances, helped them resist Demogorgon's chaotic aura and roar.
As a wizard, Brian knew very well that spells did not have to be advanced to be very useful.
The effect of "Protection from Evil" is to fight against all kinds of evil forces.
This power even includes the evil aura of the gods, enhancing their saving throws.
At this moment.
Brian didn't need to look back, he could guess what kind of miserable end the Kuo-toa and Ishi rays that were running around like headless flies behind them would be after Demogorgon's killing. .
Originally, he planned to take this opportunity to go to the high priest's room to steal all the gems and wealth, but seeing this situation, he thought it would be better to save his life first.
After all, Demogorgon was focusing on smashing these Kuo-toa fish and Ixi rays at this time.
His attention has been on these timid creatures fleeing from him.
This gave the two a rare opportunity to escape.
Just when the demon lord was about to disappear from the sight of the two, Brian suddenly discovered that a pale teleportation circle suddenly appeared in the open space in front of him.
"Gods have mercy, we have finally caught up." A voice of joy came from the magic circle, and a figure wearing a gray robe stepped out.
As the figure continued to move forward, the bone fragments inlaid on the gray robe collided with each other, making a clattering sound like blinds.
"It is indeed the incarnation of Demogorgon."
A tallest figure said, "What a cunning demon. He actually used this trick to attract our attention to the insect. Fortunately, he responded in time, otherwise, all the little fish people here would have been killed."
"What's the point! Stop this guy quickly, don't let him continue killing like this. ." As the figure gradually approached, a guy with an outline that looked like a Kuo Tao fish man quickly urged.
"Drive Demogorgon back to the Abyss." The gray dwarf, carrying the pickaxe on his shoulder, said in a hoarse and low voice from deep in his throat.
"Hiss, hiss"
The troglodyte carrying a long bow stretched out his long scarlet tongue, greedily sucking in the cold air.
When these five strange combinations ran past Brian and Hesiah, only the man in a gray robe of bone fragments turned around and used two stars that jumped out of his empty eye sockets. The pale will-o'-the-wisp glanced at the two of them in surprise.
Then, he quickly took out a black-covered spell book and ran in the direction of Demogorgon.
"Brian, is the mind flayer lich that looked at us just now?" Hesiah retracted her gaze, came to his side, and asked quietly.
"Yes, they are people from the Illuminating Society." Brian nodded slightly and said to her, "They come from a legendary library in the Underdark called 'Future and Past': the Engraved Valley."< br>
