458 The Nightmare Approaches
"Hey, have you heard that there is a curse of cultists in New City (Morning Star City)!" A well-dressed drinker boasted to others.
"Ha," a drunkard next to him smiled contemptuously, "Someone has suggested to Lord Barkufu of Xueman to choose another location to rebuild the new city. But if they just don't listen, what can the people below do?"
"Who said no? This Balkufu is really stupid. It's better to let me be this lord."
Another drunkard interrupted, but this man was dressed in rags and smell of alcohol and sweat. As soon as he finished speaking, he was driven aside by several people. The drunkards had seen too many times, and after drinking some wine, they felt that they could do everything. If they were really capable, how could they not even afford a decent piece of clothing?
However, after driving away the sloppy drinker, the first person who spoke slapped his companion again: "That's Balguf, not Balguf!"
"Hey, it's almost the same," the other man rubbed the back of his head. "But Balguff is lucky. I heard that he had returned to Xueman City before the curse broke out, but he escaped."
"It's a bitter taste for those people in the new city, but speaking of it, the bitter taro wine in the new city is really hard to drink..."
As the two chatted, they didn't know where to talk about the topic, but they didn't notice that the faces of the travelers around them became worse and worse.
"Sure enough, it spread out." Yisu rubbed his temples and breathed weakly.
"Yes, it spread out."
Lina and Anna also nodded together, obviously they had already thought about what this "curse" was.
Perhaps, it is not wrong to call the disaster of New Morning Star City a "curse", but it is definitely not the curse of a "cultivist", but it comes from a more terrifying existence - a demon god located in the realm of annihilation, the god of dreams and nightmare, Valmina!
However, it is not right to say that this is a "curse". After all, a demon god is not idle and cursing a group of mortals. This is at most a little attention from the demon god Valmina, but even if it is just a little attention, it is not something that mortals can afford.
Perhaps at the beginning, this trace of attention only carries a tiny bit of Valmina's will, but when this trace of will comes to the present world and is contaminated with mortals, and after being contaminated with Valmina's attention, it will independently attract the corresponding rules of the present world to reshape Valmina's "priesthood" - the plunder of dreams and the spread of nightmare.
It is like a vicious cycle. Valmina's will plunge mortals into a nightmare, and the nightmare provides this will nourishment for growth. When this will gather enough power, it will spread with the contact between people, and eventually reconstruct it in an entire area, or copy a pseudo-priesthood, which ultimately makes this area a pseudo-demon realm similar to the nightmare swamp.
It's like that house of fear in Marcas City.
Even the altar and magic artifact that serves as energy channels are ready. The corrupt skull of the demon artifact and the altar that worships this magic artifact are located on the top of the mountain not far from Morning Star City. Moreover, the rules contained in the corrupt skull are the same as Valmina, so the energy channel constructed is naturally larger and more stable. Moreover, the altar built by Valmina's believers is not comparable to that of the small altar in the House of Fear.
Adding up the two, it is simply too simple to build a pseudo-demon realm that envelops the entire Morning Star City.
"In other words, the correct process to complete this plot is not to make a choice between sacrifice and corrupt skulls like in the game, but to completely destroy the altar and seal the corrupt skulls with their strong power. At least, a single legendary strong man is absolutely unable to seal the corrupt skulls alone."
Yisu sighed and made the final summary. Lina, Anna and Carl also took a breath, and a cool air rushed straight up to his head along his back, as if his sleepiness had been dissipated a lot.
Destroy the altar and seal the corrupt skull?
Judging from the ending of Xuemancheng in the first cult attack, Auston stole the Ebony Blade, if he did this, he would eventually face the attack of the demon god, which was even more dangerous. After all, in the first two examples, one of them only built a "pseudo-altar", while the other one had a knowledge of the demon weapon. It was not like this time, both the demon weapon and the altar were included.
Maybe, the last one facing a demon god's clone is possible.
What is the concept of the devil's clone?
You should know that the simplest sentence for the definition of mythical realm is: the devil comes to the world, which is a myth!
In other words, the clone of the demon god who came to the world must be in the realm of mythology. The difference is nothing more than the stage between the first entering mythology and the peak of mythology.
"This is not something we can interfere with." Lina looked at Yisu solemnly: "Yus, we need the support of Silent City."
"I should say this?"
Yisuda joked and stood up: "Let's go, go to Shadow Blade's office in Mosal. At least, there will be a good night's sleep tonight. I feel like I can fall asleep at any time."
"Me too."
Anna yawned and stood up with Lina, or in other words, she was hanging on Lina, with one eye closed and the other half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.
"Then let's go!"
Carl said weakly, and he was almost exhausted. In the past few days, the three spellcasters, Yisu and the three spellcasters, could still take advantage of the twenty minutes of each meal and rest, and meditate for a while to recover their energy. Carl, Little Botton and Silvi could only rely on their will to hold on.
Even Bolton had already fallen asleep once when he approached Mosal. At that time, he suddenly fell into the snow. If Bolton hadn't followed Silvi, he might have been trapped in the nightmare and frozen to death.
Fortunately, Little Botton was in a nightmare and was swept by Carl for a while and then woke up with retching, but his spirit became even more depressed.
The group was about to leave the tavern, but they heard the drinker just now saying, "Hey, you all heard about it, the strange phenomenon in the new city a few days ago."
"Of course, isn't that what the curse is causing?"
"No, no, no, it's not that simple," the winery shook his finger mysteriously: "I found out from my cousin's second aunt, her elder brother-in-law's second aunt. You all know that she works under the lord, that's..."
"Speak serious!"
