Chapter 97 Demon Servant


Chapter 97 Demon Servant

Xiseya pulled out the rune sword, and her light and graceful figure flashed before the patrolling Derro dwarf warrior.

“Pfft!”

I saw a cold light flashing through the mithril-shined blade in her hand, and a trace of despair-filled fear appeared on the shocked face of the Derro dwarf warrior, looking up Fall to the ground.

Another derro warrior raised his flaming sword in panic and fought back.

The rune sword collided with the black sword blade suddenly, and the derro dwarf warrior was suppressed by Xiseya's brilliant sword light and fell back one after another.

Brian caught a glimpse of the sword mage with flames and electricity leaping out of his sword blade, already facing his next opponent. He quickly appeared and attracted the attention of the derro dwarf wizard.

"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​​​my lord!"

The wizard who reacted promptly gave a cold shout when the first warrior fell, and his first reaction was to fight with The sword mage distanced himself and began chanting spells in an ominous tone.

The Derro dwarf wizard finished reciting the spell ferociously, and then moved his hand burning with black flames to Brian's chest.

——"Fourth Ring Spell: Flame of Darkness!"

In an instant, filthy magical energy spurted out, and scorching flames rushed towards him.

Brian, who was on guard for a long time, recognized his magic from the moment the other party cast his spell, and added a spell shield to himself in advance to resist this evil necromantic spell.

——"Astral Construct!"

The moment he successfully resisted the spell, he concentrated his mind, and with a thought, the volleying sword flashed with the light of light blue crystals. It shot through the darkness like mist, towards the derro wizard.

The Derro dwarf wizard looked shocked, immediately calmed down, and recited a spell quickly.

——"Arcane Missile!"

But Brian moved faster. In a flash of thought, he raised his hand and shot five magic energy missiles at the opponent first.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With five soft sounds, the five translucent force field missiles were all blocked by the flashing black light shield and disappeared immediately.

Seeing that his magic was ineffective, Brian deliberately showed a surprised look to attract the other party's attention.

After seeing this, the Derro dwarf wizard grinned crazily and was about to throw the black energy bomb he had prepared in his hand when he was suddenly disemboweled by the volley sword behind him without warning.

“Ah!!!”

He wailed and struggled, black blood gurgling like strong acid, corroding the hard surface into horrific scorch marks.

"Target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted."

"Experience points gained: 3000 points!"

…………

At the same time, the derro dwarf warriors on the other side also He was pierced through the chest with a sword from Hesiah.

The moment she drew her sword, she suddenly spun her elegant figure, jumped lightly, distanced herself from him, and successfully dodged the acidic blood spurting out from the deep wound.

Hesiah held the sword and vibrated lightly. The blade made a crisp low sound, and the dirty blood stained on the sword was instantly shaken away.

"What's going on?" She shook her long brown hair, walked up to Brian who was searching for trophies, and secretly asked her doubts in a frightened voice.

If she hadn't been afraid of the disgusting acidic blood splattering on herself, she would have killed the last derro dwarf warrior cleanly.

Although this acidic blood would not harm her much, if it really fell on her skin, she did not dare to imagine the disgusting scene.

“They have all been transformed into demon servants, so they have some characteristics of the abyss demon.”

After examining the body of the Derro dwarf wizard, Brian frowned, sniffed the smell of incense and carrion in the air, stood up and said to the sword mage, "Let's go, I suspect that the demonic ritual inside is about to begin. "

Hesiah nodded, followed Brian's pace without thinking, and walked towards the 'Holy Law Auditorium'.

Bryan and the sword mage carefully entered this huge stalagmite tower.

They quietly hid in the shadows of the hall, probed to observe the situation inside, and suddenly discovered with horror that in the center of the hall was a large pit with corpses and minced meat scattered everywhere.

The rich earth veins radiate energy and emit a sickly soft light that fills the hall, like masses of tangible dark mist slowly creeping along the walls of the pit.

This place looks more like a waste pit for evil experiments. The remains of the victims were eventually abandoned here and piled up together, so that they emitted a pungent rotten smell.

Brian also discovered that these corpses that had absorbed the radiation from the ley lines gradually began to show signs of spontaneous recovery.

"Brian, if we return to the surface."

Seeing this scene, the pale Hesiah felt her stomach twitching, and she forcibly looked away without paying attention. Looking at the corpses and minced meat in the pit, his right hand unconsciously grabbed Brian's arm, used magic to transmit the sound, and whispered in a trembling voice:

"I must find an idyllic farm with pleasant scenery, I'm afraid at least It takes a year of rest to completely dispel the horrific scenes seen in the Underdark.”

"Then I suggest you go to the Fairy Wilderness. It should be the most suitable place for you."

Feeling the huge strength hidden under Hesiah's slender and beautiful body, Brian raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Then he patted her soft little hand that was holding his arm tightly, and comforted her through telepathy:

"If you don't want to see it, don't force yourself, close your eyes, and just follow my footsteps. ”

What surprised Brian was that he just said it casually, and the aristocratic lady actually lowered her eyes and grabbed one of his arms with both hands. Her delicate body leaned against his.

However, fortunately, the strength of her hands weakened a lot, and the pain in his arms also disappeared.

Although the smell here was very strong, his keen sense of smell was able to capture the faint fragrance coming from Hesaya, and he even heard her slightly rapid breathing.

For some reason, he who has always been calm and rational, when he smelled this refreshing fragrance, he couldn't help but recall some charming ripples in his mind, and even his arms subconsciously wanted to rub it. Rubbing Heseya's soft body.

He looked startled and immediately realized that this was definitely not from his instinctive desire, but definitely from some evil demonic ritual.

In fact, he had already guessed the true identity of the demon lord spreading evil.

And it is also very clear that what this demon lord’s followers are best at is holding the depraved ‘Happy Empty Feast’.

This is a horrific ritual that completely transforms believers into servants of the devil.

For female characters, the Will save difficulty of this ritual is doubled.

Thinking of this, a wave of cold air came out of Brian's back. He immediately came back to his senses, secretly increased his vigilance, and turned his attention to the front.

The pit is 15 feet deep, and the window ledge overlooking the top of the pit is surrounded by sharp pieces of scrap metal, which seems to prevent creatures under the pit from climbing up the stone wall.

That’s exactly what happened.

Because he had noticed that there were seven zombies moving slowly in the pit, including three gray dwarves and four derro dwarves.

There is only one derro guarding the entire pit. He stands alone on the windowsill of the pit, ready to attack zombies trying to climb out of the pit with a crossbow.

There is a crack in the southeast wall of the pit, leading to a narrow passage. The entrance to this tunnel is also filled with disgusting fungi and visceral fragments.

Obviously, this must be the passage to the demonic ritual.

With a thought, Brian controlled the astral construct and suddenly appeared in front of the derro dwarf guard at lightning speed. Before he could react, a sharp cold light flashed across.

The Derro dwarf's body stiffened, and the crossbow slipped from his hand. He held his neck where blood was pouring out with both hands, and fell headlong into the pit.

Ignoring the screaming and struggling undead creatures in the pit, Brian led Hesiah straight into the passage filled with fungi and visceral fragments.

This is a large and spacious cavern, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur and waste chemicals.

The rich radiation energy of the earth's veins filled it, shining on the stone roof and stone walls, creating a strange spiral texture.

Brian looked away from these weird lines, because he felt that the longer he stared at it, the blurrier his vision became, and there was a faint desire to put one in his mind. A fireball, a crazy idea of ​​razing the entire cave to the ground.

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and reminded the sword mage beside him.

Then he saw a natural platform reflected under the campfire not far away.

Five derro dwarf wizards in black robes gathered around and sang evil carols, shouting out the name of the demon lord 'Graz'zt'.

In a fungus-covered grass next to the platform, pairs of derro dwarves were lying there disheveled.

Their limbs were intertwined without hesitation, and they made low moaning sounds intermittently along with the evil chant.

When Brian imagined the essence of the ceremony, he suddenly felt sick, and his stomach couldn't help but twitch and twitch. The sword mage next to him tightly wrapped his arms around him, clearly showing his purest disgust. On the delicate face.

Even so, Brian, who was hiding in the dark, did not rush to take action. Instead, with a calm and calm gaze, he endured the scene that made him feel chilly and uncomfortable, and carefully observed the progress of the ceremony.

He saw the magic circle in the center of the platform suddenly emit a burst of scarlet soft light, and the power of the spell gradually gathered on a derro dwarf wizard who was tied up in chains in the center of the ceremony.

The helpless derro dwarf let out a final scream, and with the clattering sound of the binding chains, his back suddenly arched away from the marble on the altar.

Then, a terrifyingly rapid change began.

A black bud slowly grew from the thumb of the derro's hands.

As the unclean chants continued to change, two long and slender black fingers snaked out of his hands like buds.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a sharp claw from the devil in the abyss.

His cry suddenly turned into a weird moan, as if he was caught in a tangle of pain and pleasure.

Seeing this, Brian finally understood that the three derro dwarves they killed in the 'Holy Law Auditorium' were most likely transformed through this evil ritual.

It reminded him of the conspiracy surrounding the derro.

After the demon lord came to the Underdark, the scholars of the derro dwarves gathered a group of apprentices through intimidation and lobbying, trying to spread evil chaotic rituals in the royal city of Aldus.

They also knew that the Stone Giant clan was the backbone of the Deep King's power, so they decided to inflict the madness of the Abyss Demon on them, and use this as the curtain for the sinister conspiracy of dedicating the city to the Demon Lord.

In other words, there is definitely another cultist settlement hidden in the entire Whirlpool Tunnel.

The ritual here is to transform the derro wizard into a demon servant, while the other is to corrupt the stone giant through a broken spire.

Brian carefully counted the number of derro dwarf wizards and found that there were only 12 wizards in total, and their highest strength was only around level 2 and level 10.

This made him realize that those Derro dwarf wizards who had reached the third level of strength were probably guarding the next altar.

After thinking about the problem, Brian patted Hesiah on the shoulder and motioned her to hide here and not show up. He could handle these cultists alone.

Hearing this, Hesiah hesitated for a moment, then cast a grateful look at him.

Although she couldn't bear to look at the obscene scene at the altar, she would also come forward if the lives of the two of them were at stake.

In fact, what really scares her is the weird aroma in the air.

The smell of blood and incense ash made her whole body unbearably hot. Beads of sweat continued to form on her forehead. Even her breathing began to become a little cramped. She always wanted to stick to Brian's body involuntarily. beside.

If she hadn't had strong self-control, she might have lost her mind.

Of course she knew what this meant, so she didn't dare to imagine what unspeakable changes would happen if she went too deep near the altar and was affected by that evil and obscene aura.

Brian took out his staff and emerged from the shadows.

——"Fireball!"

With a thought, he activated the spell in the staff cleanly.

A dark red fireball the size of an ogre's head, trailing billowing smoke, first hit the piles of derro dwarves whose limbs were intertwined in the fungus.

"Boom!"

The blazing light fire exploded, the high-temperature flames raged, and the violent impact was accompanied by a loud noise, making the entire cave shake faintly, and gravel poured down like raindrops on a group of people. The remains of a derro dwarf's broken arm.

The few who survived also spat out blood from their mouths and lay languidly on the ground, moaning in pain.

Seeing the experience prompt, Brian discovered that this fireball instantly killed six derro dwarf wizards.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the five derro dwarf wizards who were chanting carols around the altar all stopped singing and walked to the edge of the altar, preparing to pick up weapons and prepare to fight.

Of course he would not miss this golden opportunity. He took out five or six short crossbow bolts and waved the flaming rune staff.

——"Krugul Fire Arrow!"

In the flash of lightning, flaming arrows with tiny crackling sounds quickly passed through the air, accurately hitting the chest of each Derro dwarf wizard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The flaming arrows that hit exploded into a gorgeous magical flame with the dazzling light.

Although three derro dwarf wizards hurriedly held up a shimmering magic shield for themselves, they were still staggered back by the aftermath of the explosion.

Just when they were secretly thankful that they had survived and were about to cast spells to counterattack, little did they know that Brian had already controlled his astral construct to appear behind them through "space sliding".

A splash of acidic blood.

The three derro dwarf wizards all fell to the ground and died under the attack of Brian and the volley sword.

After cleaning up all the enemies, Brian took a deep breath to calm down the aura disorder caused by the continuous casting of spells, gave Hesiah a look not to act rashly, and walked straight towards the altar.

As he walked forward, he put away his staff.

Just when he was about to walk near the altar and prepare to destroy it, a teleportation circle emitting black energy suddenly appeared.

As the light of the magic circle quickly dissipated, a cultist with a human face and a cat-like appearance stepped out.

She raised her arm, revealing a white arm.

Immediately afterwards, without any casting or chanting of spells, an energy ball with leaping black flames was instantly released towards Brian.

——"Dimension jump!"

Brian was naturally aware of the other party's malice immediately, and used teleportation spells in time to avoid the sneak attack of the flames and distance himself from the other party. .

Brian, who stabilized his body, immediately took the opportunity to look at this uninvited guest.

He saw that the other party was a woman wearing a black cloak with exquisite curves.

She was probably naked under her thin cloak, Brian guessed.

When she lifted her hood, she revealed a wildcat-like face and long blood-red hair.

Her plump body arouses desire and has a fatal charm.

"I am Xinaya, the chosen one of my lord Graz'zt. Who are you, how dare you act so arrogantly here?" A cold light flashed in the woman's scarlet eyes, and she was locked on Brian.

"Who am I? Of course I am a person destined to dominate rather than obey." Brian looked calm and composed, looked at her mockingly, and said sarcastically: "You think so, the devil's lackey? ”

When Brian heard that the other party was the demon lord’s chosen one, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

However, it was not as scary as I imagined.

Because almost all the high-level followers of the demon lord Graz'zt call themselves the chosen ones, they are naturally not as scary as the chosen ones of the gods.

Moreover, through his sensitivity to magic and visual detection, he discovered that the opponent's strength did not even reach the fourth level.

It can be seen from this that she should have just become a slave of the devil.

And it was forcibly upgraded from the first or second level to the third level.

Hearing Brian's sarcasm, Xinaya was not ashamed but proud, showing an evil smile.

When she saw Brian's face clearly, her expression was startled, and then a touch of joy appeared on her face, "It turned out to be you. I didn't even go to find you, so I sent him to your door."
< br>

"Huh?"

Brian squinted his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.

He immediately understood that this demonic elect was absolutely proficient in mind reading. He must have stolen the memory from the derro dwarf Gip and learned that he was a gifted wizard.

A wizard like him is naturally the most suitable sacrifice or corruption target for the demon lord Graz'zt, which makes him secretly vigilant.

——“Psychic power level up!”

——"Mind is blank!"

Brian concentrates, mobilizes spiritual energy, and clears all short-term thoughts and distracting thoughts in his mind, thereby greatly improving his will immunity ability.

"Very good, it came at the right time."

The demon elect licked his lips with satisfaction, revealing two small fangs like a cat, "Admit defeat, mortal!"< br>
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian suddenly felt that Xinaya's suggestion spell was eroding his mind, like a thief's throat knife, trying to cut open his spirit.

Even though he had been prepared for it, he was still struck by this force and his face turned pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

He instantly noticed the light of consciousness that was the devil's chosen one, and understood what was about to happen.

After all, the master of the other party is a demon lord who is proficient in mind control. Naturally, the believers are given powerful dark powers such as mind reading and control.

Thinking of this, Brian slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

“Hehehe”

In the empty cave, a slutty smile echoed continuously, and the demon elect's crystal clear blood-red eyes were like star rubies, emitting a bright shimmer.

Her cat-like delicate face has a charming spring color, and the corners of her mouth showing small fangs hang in a seemingly sweet, but actually slutty smile.

As her slender jade hands gently untied the belt of the cloak, a pair of astonishingly plump breasts popped out.

Bloomingly, you can still vaguely see the bright red whip marks left on the ravines of the white and tender skin inside. Even the scarlet whip marks appeared on the inner side of her slender thighs that she raised. .

Brian's glazed eyes stared greedily at the unobstructed spring scenery, and he walked over step by step with a slightly stiff pace.

"Want to touch it? It's long, smooth, and tender."

The devil's elector's mouth curled up, looking at him playfully, holding his left hand and pointing it towards the whip mark on her inner thigh. Let it go.

The moment Brian touched her thigh, his eyes suddenly returned to clarity, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes.

At the same time, with lightning speed, his right hand took out a weapon with a gold-plated barrel from his arms, and pressed it directly against the soft and flat belly of the demon elect.

——"Ma Youfu Micro Meteor!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Eight explosions were heard in a row, and the devil's chosen body, which was being madly output, erupted with hot crackling sounds on its delicate body full of temptation.

Xinaya let out a shrill wail. Her abdomen was blown to pieces by magic, and the bones were visible. The white intestines flowed down with the blood.

She glanced at Brian in surprise, and immediately fell to the ground, scratching the floor and letting out a low roar.

Her alluring female body suddenly turned into a thick torso, slender thighs, and the hind legs of a lion, and her delicate and slender hands turned into sharp claws that shone with cold light.

Thick long hair also grew on her face, turning into a terrifying lion face.

The lion looked at Brian in horror, let out a low roar of protest, then turned around, jumped up, and distanced itself from him.

Brian was about to cast a spell to resist, when he suddenly noticed that the other party was dragging the dripping blood from her abdomen, turning around and running away again. His expression relaxed, he put down his movements, and watched her leave coldly. Go figure.

After all, he couldn't guarantee how terrifying a demon elect's deathbed counterattack would be.

This is also the reason why he did not continue to injure him after seriously injuring him.

——"Advanced Teleportation Technique!"

Just when the lion was about to be enveloped by the light of the magic circle and teleported away, the graceful figure of Xisaiya holding the rune sword suddenly appeared.

——"Lightning hook!"

I saw her left hand waved, and a crackling lightning beam twisted like a snake, and the probe shot into the disappearing portal. .

“Ah!!!”

Along with the painful wails from the portal, the leaping lightning hook of the electric light ensnared the huge body of the human lion and dragged it out of the portal, leaving it hanging off the ground and struggling wildly.

Hesiah was about to kill with her sword, but suddenly she was startled, as if she remembered something. She looked at Brian who was walking over, shook a strand of hair from her forehead, and smiled: < br>
"Although I don't know what this strange move of yours means, I always feel that it is more appropriate for you to complete the final blow."

After saying that, she put the ball in her hand He handed over the rune sword and concentrated on controlling the frantically struggling human lion.

Looking at the considerate sword mage, Brian took the sword and took the life of the human lion cleanly.

"The target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted."

"Gain experience points: 5000 points!"

…………

"Of course I'm very happy if you do this, but don't deliberately hold back because of this in the future."

Brian handed the sword to Hesiah and said to her with a deliberately straight face, "After all, no one can guarantee when the accident will happen."

"At least I can guarantee that I can control it perfectly. This lion, that's enough." Hesiah snorted and replied to him harshly.

Faced with this situation, Brian didn't know how to answer.

After all, Hesiah meant well to give him experience. It would be too merciless for him to reprimand her without knowing what is good and what is wrong.

“Okay, do whatever you want, as long as you’re happy.”

He said nothing and ignored the sword mage's angry gaze and the clanging sound of the sword being sheathed. He walked to the altar and began to search for loot while destroying all the magic circles engraved on the altar.

While collecting trophies, he unexpectedly found a book with pages made from the caps of a three-layered castle mushroom in a stack of books. The pages were filled with the crazy words of derro dwarf scholars.

And also describes three rituals.

The first one is through evil and bloody obscene rituals, which causes people to grow a third finger and gain demonic characteristics and power.

The second one is to plunge the entire city into irrational madness by mobilizing the chaotic energy radiated by the earth's veins.

The third ceremony made Brian unable to sit still.

This turned out to use the red dragon egg as a medium, injecting the power of the bottomless abyss into it, and finally made the demon lord Graz'zt take the form of hatching and descend his incarnation into the main material world.

“As expected.”

After reading the general process of the ceremony, Brian put the book away with a look of surprise.

In fact, when the Gray Ghost man stole the red dragon egg, he remembered that in the game world, the demon lord Graz'zt appeared in the church of the material world, a powerful abyss. red dragon.

An evil red dragon with both true dragon blood and the power of the abyss.

Thinking of this, he realized that he not only had to prevent the incident from happening, but also found a way to get the red dragon egg and make it his own.

As long as he finds a way to guide this red dragon to do good, it will most likely become the most powerful thug and mount when it grows up.

Then Brian saw a scroll stuffed into another book.

With a look on his face, he immediately opened it and checked it, and found that it was a letter written in broken dwarven language.

Nalak:

I want a lot of corpses! Stonespeaker Hegram has a trap. Trap trap trap. But Jeep is very cunning, and its body is still small! Jeep can hear them talking and then speaking there is a name mentioned and then Jeep hears the name and then Jeep writes the name and then gives you the name again so you have to give Jeep time. But you have to give Jeep a lot more bodies. A living corpse, Jeep wants to fulfill its divine destiny!

——Jip

"This so-called name is probably the real reason why Leawood was affected by the devil." Brian burned the scroll and nodded thoughtfully.

As for the corpse mentioned in the scroll, it is very likely that it is necessary for Jeep to try to perform some kind of crazy ritual.

A manifestation of the derro god Dikalaze himself—as a murderer incarnate.

He relied on bloody sacrifices to build a path of slaughter for his people in the Underdark to follow him to glory. It is possible that Gipp was under the illusion that any of his setbacks (including his capture and imprisonment) were 'divine providence'.

He wanted to try to use a strict set of killing rituals to summon this incarnation of the mad god to the material world.

The killing ritual seems terrible, but Brian is not worried at all, because Jeep's killing ritual to summon the mad god will definitely fail.

"Where should we go next?" Hesiah walked up to him cautiously and asked.

"Go deep into the tunnel and find a black broken spire." Brian said with a slightly solemn expression after sorting out his items.

ps: Dear bosses, please give me a monthly pass.
