As the two claw-like palms slapped together and made a crisp sound, the Bone Demon couldn't help but praise loudly: "Wonderful! It's so wonderful!
I didn’t expect that when I come to the main material plane, I can meet such an interesting mortal like you.
Especially a soul that is full of wisdom and so dazzling, it is quite rare and precious even in hell.
Now that the words have been said, let me tell you what you need to do to open the passage to the bottom of the tomb.
See that altar behind me?
What you have to do now is to offer a sacrifice!
It can be a noble paladin, a loyal servant, or a potential betrayer deliberately placed beside you...
In short, you just need to dig out the heart of one of them and then follow the instructions in the note to complete the entire process."
"Potential betrayer?"
Zuo Si keenly grasped a key word.
The Bone Demon smiled cruelly and nodded: "Yes! With your mind, you should already know the answer, right?"
As he spoke, his eyes stared directly at the half-orc Rhett without any concealment.
The latter pointed at his nose with a blank expression and asked: "You said I would betray? Why didn't I know?"
"Hehehehe! You are just a manipulated chess piece, a tool to be used. What makes you think you are qualified to know the truth?" The Bone Demon mocked unceremoniously.
Obviously, as a mid-to-high-level devil, he looked down upon the orcs in front of him.
He didn't even show the slightest interest in his soul.
Rhett's face suddenly turned ugly.
Because the devil's words suddenly gave him a very bad premonition.
After being lost in thought for half a minute, the barbarian warrior finally woke up and asked in a slightly angry tone: "What did those bastards from the Long Ding Chamber of Commerce do to me?"
Although Rhett's intelligence attributes are not high, he is often easily carried away by anger and bloodlust.
But it doesn't mean that he is mentally retarded or an idiot.
After calming down and thinking for a moment, he immediately noticed that there was a gap in his originally coherent memory not long ago.
"It's simple! They leave a seed in your brain."
The devil stretched out his long, thin fingers and tapped his huge, deformed head.
"As long as you activate it at a specific time, you will immediately become another person, the person they want you to be.
Admit it, miserable mortal, you are a prop specially prepared for this game just like me.
The only difference is that I know a little more, and my subjective consciousness is not controlled by magical power.
But you...
Your end is already determined.
Either become a sacrifice here, or go to the bottom of the tomb and become a despised betrayer, and eventually be killed and become a lifeless corpse.
The freedom you long for and imagine has never existed from beginning to end."
The Bone Demon grinned, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. His weird expression made it unclear whether he was sarcastically or mockingly...
"No!!!! I'm going to kill you!"
Rhett instantly became furious, and at the same time his body and mind seemed to be on the verge of entering a violent state at any time.
But before he could really go berserk, Zuo Si, who had always remained invisible, finally took action.
I saw him directly activating the scroll in his hand.
The next second...
The dazzling red light directly hit the orc.
Before the latter even had time to react, he immediately stopped all movements with his hands, and his eyes revealed unconcealable shock and fear.
Because Rhett found that his body, spirit and will were completely under Zuo Si's absolute control at this moment.
Even if the other party gives an almost suicidal order, he will execute it without hesitation.
"Five-ring magic [controls humans]?"
The bone demon recognized the spell to control the orcs almost instantly.
It is different from the low-level charm magic of [Charming Humans].
[Dominate Humanity] not only allows humanoid creatures affected by magic to regard the caster as an ally.
Instead, it is 100% complete control through spiritual connection.
Unless the target affected by the spell has a strong will that is ten times or even dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, it is basically impossible to break free.
And the duration of [Dominate Humanity] is one day for each casting level.
This also means that if Rhett remains under control, the previous plan of those who wanted to control him through magic such as suggestion will go bankrupt.
After all, a person who has been completely dominated will not have the corresponding execution ability even if he receives strong suggestions.
"Look, the hidden danger of betrayal has been eliminated."
Zuo Si spread his hands as if he had done something trivial, and continued to talk to himself: "No matter what the mastermind behind the scenes did to Rhett, he can't do anything like betrayal now.
At least not until [Domination of Humanity] is lifted.
Do you think I would be unprepared when I realized there might be a spy in my team?
I have made more preparations than you can imagine!
Most importantly, I hate playing games under the rules set by others.
Especially in this situation where sacrifices and trade-offs must be made.
In addition, when I mentioned sacrifice just now, you should have missed one person, and that is yourself, right?
If Aroline represents holiness, Rhett represents betrayal, and my two men represent loyalty, then you represent deception.
As long as I kill you and dig out your heart and put it on the altar, the entrance to the deepest tomb will be opened."
Using control spells to control teammates who have been charmed by the enemy is an inspiration Zuo Si got from playing games in the past.
Although using it in reality may cause the controlled person to have negative emotions, it is still much better than being controlled by the enemy.
What's more, he still has too few means to dispel magic.
In addition, my own spellcasting level is too low, and it is almost impossible to take advantage in a head-on confrontation with high-level spellcasters. I can only use such "evil" swords to take the wrong side.
"You are indeed an interesting mortal. But are you sure you want to do this? I won't sit still and wait for death!"…
The bone demon slowly raised the strange weapon in his hand, which was made of unknown animal bones and exuded an evil and twisted aura, and assumed a posture ready to fight.
"What gives you the illusion that I will fight a devil head-on? Because there is a young paladin in the team?"
Zuo Si asked with a sneer, while taking out the [Magic Card: Strengthen] and immediately activated the spell effect stored inside.
Instantly!
The Bone Demon felt that the binding circle under his feet suddenly became several times more powerful than before.
The huge and skinny body can’t even stand!
He fell face down to the ground with a plop. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from the overwhelming terrifying power of the restraining circle.
On the other side, Zuo Si was not idle either.
He quickly signaled the soldier to take out a few silver-shining mithril ingots from his backpack, as well as about two to three hundred similarly shining silver coins.
Then, under the control of his hands, these metals were quickly stretched and gradually turned into several short javelins glowing with cold light.
Mithril serves as the main body, while sterling silver serves as the coating covering the outside.
When the javelin was made, Zuo Si directly handed it to the two people with the highest strength attributes in the team, the soldier and the half-orc Rhett.
After getting it, without saying a word, they directly aimed at the Bone Demon who was firmly restrained on the ground and threw it hard.
Poof! Poof!
With splashes of acid and blood, the sharp spear tip tore the skin and penetrated deeply into the devil's body, which looked like only skin and bones were left.
Especially the silver plating on the front end of the javelin instantly blocks its powerful regeneration ability and continues to cause secondary damage around the wound.
As creatures from the lower planes, both demons and devils hate and fear metal like silver.
To them, this thing is like a poison.
Realizing that Zuo Si wanted to stab himself to death with these silver-plated javelins from a distance, the bone demon immediately used all his strength to raise an arm, and at a distance of less than half a meter from him, he used his spell-like ability to create a magic weapon out of thin air.
