In the dark cave, Ren held a shield and cautiously explored forward. The immortal torch in his hand could only barely illuminate a three-meter area around him.
Angelica and Leolina looked at the torches moving in the distance, and their hearts couldn't help but lift.
In the entire cave, except for the sound of Ren's footsteps, there was no other sound, and it was as silent as a ghost land.
The suffocating atmosphere lasted for a long time, until it was suddenly broken by a sudden scream.
Ren looked towards the source of the sound, and by the light of the fire, he could vaguely see a little bit of cold light falling towards him in the darkness.
Those are arrow clusters shot by enemies in the dark!
Facing the rain of arrows, Ren squatted half-crouched and raised the spiked shield diagonally above his head, placing most of his body under its protection.
"Doo doo doo!"
The next moment, Ren only felt that the right hand holding the shield suddenly sank, and a series of impacts came from the shield.
With the help of the protection of the shield, Renn withstood the wave of arrows unharmed.
"High Priest, please give the order!"
This group of stone blind barbarians is so poor that they have nothing more than crudely made stone crossbows and stone spears. Their armor is limited to an animal skin that barely covers their body. Only a +1 mithril chain was found on the chief.
The armor shirt made the three of them feel a little better.
The four-foot-long sword instantly passed the priest's neck with a shrill whistle.
"Do it!"
When Ren heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the scroll to the female mage.
In battle, give priority to killing the spellcaster. This is Ren's instinct as a player!
"clang!"
Ren shouted loudly and launched a white-hot strike. The long sword in his hand slashed twice in an instant, forcing the Stoneblind Barbarian chief to retreat. Then he turned around, and the tip of the sword drew a strange arc, diagonally passing by the woman.
The mage's shot severely wounded the throat of the stone blind barbarian warrior.
Leolina walked to Ren's side and said:
"A group of idiot slaves who were ruthlessly abandoned by their masters and still dream of returning to their master's arms. How did your Majesty fall in love with you brainless guys!"
Angelica threw a few plant seeds in the direction of Ren, and then used [Entangle].
Although he couldn't see the enemy rushing toward him, Renn could sense the enemy's movements through his hearing.
Crazy growing thorny vines sprang out from the ground, binding more than three-quarters of the enemies in place!
Plan passes!
Ren raised the corners of his mouth slightly, opened his mouth and softly spat out a syllable, activating a magic spell [Detect Evil].
"Damn bastard, how dare you despise the bravery of our Stone Blind Barbarians!"
"High Priest?!"
Ren's mocking of the illithids was even more hateful to them than slandering the "God of Strife". Even the originally calm Stoneblind Barbarian High Priest became angry at this time.
Eight meters!
Behind the huge rock, the Stoneblind barbarian chief, whose body was covered with scars and tattoos, maintained his last trace of reason, looked at the tribe's high priest, and gritted his teeth.
In the distant past, mind flayers, or illithids, once established a huge empire spanning multiple kingdoms and worlds, and enslaved countless races through their psychic talents. Many of these enslaved people were humans.
, among them are the ancestors of the Stone Blind Barbarians.
"Go and let the infidel who dares to blaspheme our Lord and God pay the price he deserves!"
Since the caster wearing armor will affect the speed of casting spells, this +1 mithril chain mail shirt fell into the hands of Miss Ranger, and she wore it happily.
"Boy, I will twist off your head, extract your brains, and offer them to the great Mind Flayer as a sacrament!"
However, the arrow wound on his right shoulder caused his movements to lag for a moment.
Seeing Quaraco being killed, the Stone Blind Barbarian chief's face twitched violently, and then he made an unexpected move.
——Powerful attack!
——The Holy Slash!
Amidst the raging fire, the screams suddenly stopped.
Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, the smooth stone arrows cannot break through the +1 enchanted full-body armor that Ren was stripped off from the bald priest!
After seeing the opponent's arrow rain, there was no movement again. Renn carefully poked his head out from behind the shield and shouted loudly in the direction of the arrow rain:
"Stupid underground creatures, thanks to your hard work, you didn't even hurt grandpa's hair! If your original master, the mind flayer, saw this scene, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would make your brains into food! Come on, you guys.
If these eggless idiots have the ability to challenge me, they might be able to relax my muscles and add some fun to my boring adventure!"
After killing an enemy with one blow, Renn let out a low shout and took a step forward to slash him horizontally!
——Cut with the trend!
The opponent threw away his weapon, covered his neck in pain, and staggered to the ground.
In addition, Renn also found a scroll from the dead Stoneblind Barbarian High Priest. Although the text on it was written in Common Language, due to the weird grammar, Renn took a few glances and felt that
Somewhat dizzy.
The mind flayers used their powerful psychic powers to change and distort the minds of these enslaved people, and gradually transformed the beliefs of these groups, eventually worshiping the illithids as blasphemous creators.
Since these stone blind barbarians all spoke the common language of the mainland, Renn understood the meaning of their words clearly and decided to add another fire to them.
"Let me do it."
Calculating the distance between the opponent and himself, when the stone-blind barbarian warrior at the front came five meters away from Ren, the paladin who was standing silently finally made a move.
The female mage pointed her scepter towards the flames of the immortal torch, and a huge fireball formed in front of her, and then hit the enemies trapped in place like a meteor!
——Extremely effective fireball technique!
"I have undergone simple training in interpreting documents, so I should be able to understand the meaning."
Following the chief's words, all the stone blind barbarian warriors drew their weapons.
"For the tribe, for the great God of Strife, and for our master!"
With the blessing of the super magic scepter, the damage of Leorina's fireball spell was fixed to a maximum of 36 points. In addition to the tribal chief who is a warrior, and a female stone blind barbarian who is an inaugurated barbarian, all stones within the range are affected.
All the blind barbarian warriors were killed instantly with one blow, and even Priest Quaraco, the high priest of the tribe, was blown to pieces and suffered serious injuries!
"Kill them!"
The high priest of the tribe, the priest of the [God of Strife], Quaraco, sensed the expressions of the tribesmen, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the opponent's melee class rushed directly into his own crowd, Quaraco, who had escaped the disaster, clenched the Holy Emblem of the [God of Strife] in his hand and was about to cast a divine spell.
The God of War and Chaos allows his followers to use strategies when facing the enemy, but also encourages believers to launch attacks directly. However, if they do not make any positive response to the enemy's provocation, they will lose the attention of the god.
and gifts.
However, when cleaning the battlefield, the three of them all turned into bitter faces.
Ren roared, then raised the shield in his hand to his chest, strode towards the stone blind barbarian at the front and launched a charge!
The paladin started charging and rushed towards the remaining enemies. In the middle of the journey, he used the inertia to jump suddenly and hit Quaraco's head with a [jump chop]!
As a believer of the [God of Strife], when facing provocation, there is no word to back down, otherwise it will be considered as lacking the courage and courage to defeat the enemy.
boom!
The blazing fireball fell in the middle of the Stone Blind Barbarian warriors in the blink of an eye, and the sudden eruption of flames engulfed all four Stone Blind Barbarians in the center.
But the support from Miss Ranger has arrived!
Quaraco, who was severely injured by an arrow, couldn't help but let out a scream, and his spell-casting movements were deformed due to the severe pain.
"High Priest, please allow us to kill that bastard!"
Seeing the sword light coming in front of him, Quaraco's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to raise the mace in his hand to block it.
At this moment, Miss Ranger and the female mage emerged from their hiding places.
After a successful attack, Renn threw the immortal torch in his left hand upwards with all his strength, then rolled and jumped to hide behind a rock not far away, while blocking the spiked steel shield in front of him.
"ah!"
As the tribe's high priest and chief were killed one after another, the fighting spirit of the remaining three Stoneblind barbarians instantly fell to the bottom, and they were quickly killed by the three Rennes.
Failed the concentration check and failed to cast the spell!
"good!"
However, Ren's invincible jump attack was stopped by the tribal chief with his weapon in the lightning and flint. However, the paladin's blow still caused his jaw to crack, and traces of blood protruded from his eyes, mouth, and nose.
"This guy's mouth is so vicious!"
Then the magical scepter in the hand of Leolina, who had a frosty face, emitted a heart-stopping light.
An ugly head rises into the sky!
However, before he could take a few steps, Miss Ranger bent her bow and shot an arrow through his heart.
In order to make up for the disadvantages of being a human in a dark and lightless environment, Renn prepared this spell for himself before entering the copper mine.
Through divine magic, in Ren's perception, bright red light spots were swarming towards his location!
Fifteen meters!
Ten meters!
For the Stoneblind Barbarians, the Mind Flayers are still their belief, and they never plan to serve their illithid masters again.
In the end, with the cooperation of the Githyanki, gray dwarves and other enslaved races, the rule of the mind flayers was completely overturned, and the huge territory of the mind flayer empire also fell apart. Some humans who believed in worshiping the mind flayers fled to
The Underdark.
This set of actions can be described as smooth and smooth, and it is obvious that the paladin has made sufficient plans in advance.
Seeing a series of extremely vicious words against the stone blind barbarians and [God of Strife] believers spouting out of the mouth of the paladin, Leolina covered her lips with her hands in surprise. If it were her own words, she would probably
He would be so angry that he would fly up on the spot!
Sure enough, in the next moment, bursts of angry yells and curses burst out from the darkness.
Under Ren's loud voice, the taunting skills up to 12 points gained full power.
In the following years, generations of lightless life forced these human believers to learn to rely on other senses to survive. Over time, their eyes and eyelids gradually withered and closed, leaving only empty eye sockets covered with skin, and eventually degenerated into today's
Stoneblind barbarians.
With the permission of the tribe's high priest, a dozen stone-blind barbarian warriors who had already suppressed their anger roared and rushed towards the paladin in the darkness. With their blind sense and keen sense of smell, they were able to escape in the rugged cave.
It's like walking on flat ground.
——Heavy shield slam!
With one blow, the stone-blind barbarian warrior fell backwards wailing as if he had hit an indestructible rock. His companions behind him were unable to dodge and were knocked into a gourd on the ground.
What kind of poor guy is this!
Suffering such heavy losses, with only six people escaping, Quaraco's nose was almost crooked with anger!
If the tribe suffers such a big loss, his voice among the three priests will also be greatly reduced!
Before the other party could react, Ren had already thrown the red-hot shield into the dimensional bag and took out the enchanted sword.
At this time, with a faint sound of a bowstring, an arrow flew out of the darkness and instantly penetrated Quaraco's right shoulder.
He dropped the giant ax in his hand and turned around to flee deeper into the cave!
After the fireball shrunk slightly toward the center, it exploded with greater violence, and everything within a radius of five meters was instantly engulfed in blazing flames!
As time went by, these enslaved humans spontaneously formed a fanatical cannibal culture, and respected the mind flayers' brain-eating as a sacramental ritual. The illithids ordered their worshipers to kidnap other intelligent creatures.
Make sacrifices, and then let the believers dispose of these lifeless corpses after sucking the brains of the victims.
After carefully reading the text in the scroll, the look in Leolina's eyes gradually became serious.
"The priest named 'Quarako' wrote in this scroll that in this temple, a powerful force is growing. This force can be used as the final resort of the Ebon Society, but more evil is needed.
to nourish it.”
The female mage read word for word:
"His scroll mentioned the 'Faceless One'. He hoped that the other party could provide more worms, and said at the end that the Ebon Society's goal will eventually be achieved, and the sealed Kaivos will return.
Ascend to the throne of God and become the thirteenth new god, opening up a new era for his believers!"
