At the bottom of the stairwell, a faint light shone from a door. It illuminated the figure of the man standing on the last staircase in an eerie way.
"If you're not afraid of death, just follow them in, these two guys who don't know how to live or die." The voice of the Demon King came from behind the door.
Such words stopped Dorothy. She already had a very bad feeling, but she didn't know why she was so obsessed with it that she followed her. In fact, she regretted it halfway through. Now she got this in front of the door.
The warning made her determined not to enter.
But the man who came down first had no such consciousness. He walked into the door without any hesitation.
The location of this basement, from the perspective view of the castle, is the deepest room underground. It is not big, and it looks like it was built for some kind of ceremony. The magic circle is standard equipment, and the workmanship is rough and not
The candle made of something I knew was burning, emitting a pungent smell. The most special thing was that there was an object suspended in the center of the magic circle.
Curious, Lin walked into the magic circle. He wanted to see things clearly in the dim light, but he couldn't do it without getting closer. But... why is his face wet?
He reached out and wiped the middle part of his body, and his sleeves were covered with blood. He then wiped the wet part of his face, and his fingertips were all covered in blood.
Fen suddenly appeared in front of him, slapped Lin's forehead with his palm, and said: "You have blood coming out of your eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and you still want to stay here. You really have to make yourself blind and die."
Are you willing to give up?"
Picking up a man who was bleeding from seven holes, Fen walked out and said at the same time: "Let's go. Go up and have a look, see if there is any material that can be made into a container, and take this thing away."
The man who was lifted up rarely quarreled with the lich. This was because there were waves churning inside his body, layer upon layer, impacting every part of his body. His entire mind was focused on how to appease this wave of waves in his body.
The power of turmoil, and not caring about talking nonsense with a certain lich.
Because the stairwell was too narrow, Dorothy who followed her blocked the entire path. The strange appearance of Lin's terrifying face shocked the noble vampire lady. For a moment, her mind was in chaos.
Fen was not polite about this, and shouted to the vampire blocking the way: "Hurry up, don't stay down there in a daze. Otherwise, it will be the corpse I stepped on that will lead you up."
Dorothy came back to her senses and walked up without hesitation. It was extremely difficult to say the words, as if she had walked for most of her life; but walking up was like walking from hell to heaven, and she walked out of the spiral stairwell in a short while.
The two apprentices have already made preliminary classifications, and several large piles of things have been sorted into categories and stacked in a corner of the secret room.
The person who was carried out of the spiral stairwell was thrown to his apprentice.
Originally, Halumi and Kaya were concentrating on doing the assigned tasks. The sudden interruption naturally made them dissatisfied. But when they took a closer look, they found that it was their teacher. It was okay to not look very good, but now that face had nothing to do with it.
On the bloody face, blood kept pouring out from the facial features. Suddenly, the two of them wiped their faces nervously and felt the wind, completely at a loss.
The restlessness in his body gradually calmed down, and Lin recalled the past... No, he couldn't remember anything at all. He couldn't remember what he saw. He only knew that he stepped forward to take a closer look, but he was tricked. If not
Another force arises within the body to counteract it, and I'm afraid I will have to explain it here today.
In the dream, there should have been a lonely, unfinished double-story magic tower and a sky full of stars, but now there were many gray stumps. Some were hands, some were feet, and even more.
Octopus-like tentacles. A fat man and a junior high school student both looked embarrassed, obviously after a fierce battle.
Looking at the thing that had just been invaded, the incarnation of Fat Mansion couldn't help complaining: "When will the tentacle demon also target men? Could it be that the original one has been in and out in reality?"
Pushing up his glasses, the second incarnation retorted: "As far as we know, there is only one system of tentacle demons that will attack men, isn't it?"
Following the example of his chuuni incarnation, he pretended to push up his air glasses and said: "It's definitely not from the Japanese h-game system, but... it can't really be that. Is there actually one in the Lost Land?"
"Yes. An indescribable existence..." As soon as the second incarnation finished speaking, the two people who existed in the dream world helplessly looked at each other. It is very dangerous to be lost in the world. I really want to return to the earth.
In reality, Lin, who had regained control of his body, was gasping for air. With a horrified expression, he looked at the lich who was rummaging for something and asked, "What was that thing just now?"
"Oh, I just wanted to praise you for being lucky. You are not dead or blind, but now you are asking such a question again without thinking about life or death."
"There's always something that can be said, right?" Lin continued to ask helplessly. It's one thing to protect oneself wisely; it's another thing to be confused and unable to figure out what to guard against. And for what happened to him,
, he had a vague guess in his mind.
After arresting Halumi, she let the dying man rest on Kaya's lap. After Fen organized her words and made sure that what she said was what she could say, she said cautiously:
"That's part of the Dominator. And don't think that it's just a part. It shouldn't pose any threat. The power of the Dominator is unimaginable. Even if it's just a small part, it's the same as the original one.
related."
Dominator, this name only appeared when the demon king Tikal came to dominate the world, that is, in the early days of the Dark Ages, he was the main combat force that slaughtered the old gods. But in fact, when someone first heard the name 'Dominator', the first thing they thought of was
It is a European and American version of the "Crusu Myth" containing the Old Ones, a fantasy horror story.
However, the records of the 'Dominator' are quite rare in history and are not detailed. So Lin did not go into details after reading it. Anyway, it is far away from him, and it is not something that a little person like a magician can come into contact with. But it is still there today.
It happened to me. Is this luck? Or misfortune?
This reminded someone of the 'lucky coin' that Halumi tossed at the fork in the road. Was the thing broken? Otherwise, how could one encounter such a dangerous thing?
Following the command, he removed the necessary parts from a pile of useless magic equipment, and then used shaping to change its appearance. Harumi asked: "Sister, isn't the Dominator your ally?"
"They will not be allies with anyone except each other."
"Then how did they help get rid of the old gods?" Hallumi asked. The girls also learned a lot about the evil deeds of the old gods from Fen. So they didn't have a good impression of the old gods.
.
Regarding the girl's question, Fen said with some pride: "When your strength reaches a limit and there is no way to develop, you will naturally look for some breakthroughs. And the best reference is of course those beings who are higher than yourself.
In the early days, I was not strong enough to kill the gods. In other words, I had no clue about the gods at that time. So I disguised the fragments of the ruler I got by chance as trophies. I escaped from the gods once.
, pretending to fall inadvertently, the fragments of the ruler entered the eyes of the old gods. The levels of power in different directions, and existences far higher than the power of the lost land, all attracted the greed of the old gods,
Let them see the opportunity for breakthrough."
"Then what?" Upon hearing the story, the two girls' eyes lit up and they asked again and again. Maybe they only listened to it as an adventure story, but in Lin's ears, this was a proper historical secret.
It’s just that the people listening didn’t have that awareness, and the people speaking didn’t care. So Fen continued: “I will release the news that a certain god has obtained the ruler fragment, and that person will be very kind and get angry and declare himself loudly.
I didn’t get anything, and sent countless heroic spirits to hunt me down.”
"Isn't this just like the teacher said, trying to cover up something is obvious."
"Yeah, it's a cover-up. Anyway, other gods also took the bait, because the rumors were not fiction, but true. So in order to snatch the ruler's fragments, the gods launched a divine war that was also fatal to them. No one
I am willing to easily hand over the opportunity to break through and surpass other gods. The gods who are competing are not only trying to take away the opportunities of other gods to advance, but also fighting for their own opportunities to surpass the gods. Therefore, I am the first in the great cause of killing gods.
This result comes from the battle between the gods."
"But sister-in-law, haven't you ever thought about using it yourself to study the secrets of the ruler before killing the gods?"
"At that time, I was so filled with hatred that I didn't think much about it. Fortunately, I didn't do that in the future."
"What's wrong?"
"The gods who studied the power of the rulers, and somehow there was something wrong with them, they actually opened the barrier of the world and welcomed in the true form of the rulers. Of course, those who were willing and able to come. Then, everyone was finished together.
."
"Everyone is finished together?" Halumi was confused by such wording.
"Just like the words say, everyone will die together." Fen emphasized again before continuing: "Everyone who has been contaminated by the power of the ruler has fallen into varying degrees of madness, even me. And those who went deep into
The gods studied became the first victims after the Dominator's invasion. Those who survived were some unknown minor gods who were not qualified to compete for the Dominator's torso in the previous war. And these gods escaped
But my butcher knife. In the end, all gods will enter infinite reincarnations. They will be resurrected and hunted by me."
"What about the invading rulers in the future?" It was Kaya who asked. She asked keenly about that group of powerful beings that had no mention in history.
"Although rulers are dangerous, they are not evil. In other words, all the things I heard in history are actually just their instincts, but they are all judged from a human point of view. It is like walking on the road and not caring about the steps under your feet.
No matter what kind of insect it is, when a mosquito lands on your face, it will just be slapped to death. Whether it is a human being or a god, it is just such an existence to the ruler. Therefore, it is the instinct of the ruler to be obsessed with it.
Shrouded in fear, everyone is afraid and dare not mention it again, so they naturally stay away from our world."
