Hesiah pulled out the rune sword, and her light and graceful silhouette flashed before the patrolling derro dwarf warriors.

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed across the mithril-shined sword in her hand, and a look of desperate fear appeared on the shocked face of the Derro dwarf warrior, who fell to the ground on his back.

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 the sword's edge. He was already facing his next opponent. He quickly appeared and attracted the attention of the derro dwarf wizard.

"Who dares to trespass into my lord's forbidden area without permission!"

The wizard who reacted promptly gave a cold shout at the moment the first warrior fell. His first reaction was to distance himself from the sword mage 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 a spell, and added a spell shield to himself in advance to resist this evil necromantic spell.

——"Astral Construct!"

The moment he successfully withstood the spell, he concentrated his mind and with a thought, the flying sword flashing with light blue crystal light passed through the darkness like mist and shot towards the Derro dwarf wizard.

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

——"Arcane Missile!"

But Brian moved faster, and 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 shimmering 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.

When the Derro dwarf wizard saw it, he 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 any warning.

"ah!!!"

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

"Target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted..."

"Gain experience points: 3000 points!"

…………

At the same time, the Derro dwarf warrior on the other side was also stabbed through the chest by Hesiah's sword.

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 shook it gently, 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 kind of 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 steps without thinking, and walked towards the Holy Law Auditorium.

Brian 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 pieces of meat scattered around.

The rich leyline radiation energy and the sickly soft light emitted filled 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 all abandoned here and piled up together, giving off a pungent rotten odor.

Brian also discovered that these corpses that had absorbed the radiation from the earth's veins gradually began to show signs of spontaneous recovery.

"Brian, if we get back to the surface."

Seeing this scene, the pale Hesiah felt her stomach twitch. She forcibly looked away, not paying attention to the corpses and minced meat in the pit. She unconsciously grabbed Brian's arm with her right hand and used magic to transmit the sound.

Whispering in a trembling voice:

"I must find an idyllic farm with pleasant scenery. I'm afraid it will take at least a year of rest to completely dispel the horrific scenes I saw in the Dark Area."

"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 glanced at her, then patted her soft little hand that was tightly holding his arm, and comforted her through telepathy:

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

To Brian's surprise, he just said it casually, and the aristocratic lady actually lowered her eyes gracefully, grabbed one of his arms with both hands, and almost pressed her entire soft and delicate body against his body.

Fortunately, however, 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 Hesiah's body, 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 Xisaiya's soft skin.

Delicate body.

He looked startled, and immediately realized that this was definitely not from his instinctive desire, but must be 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 a depraved ‘fasting feast of joy’.

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.

This is 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 leading to demonic rituals.

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 through.

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.

Brian ignored the screaming and struggling undead creatures in the pit, and led Hesiah straight into the passage filled with fungi and internal organs.

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 moved his eyes away from these strange lines, because he felt that the longer he stared at them, the blurrier his vision became, and there was a faint desire in his mind to set off a fireball and destroy the entire cave.

Crazy thoughts razed 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'.

Next to the platform, in a patch of grass covered with fungi, pairs of derro lay disheveled.

Their limbs were intertwined without hesitation, and they let out low moans intermittently along with the evil carols.

Thinking of the essence of the ceremony, Brian suddenly felt nauseous, 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 converged on a derro dwarf wizard who was tied up in chains in the center of the ceremony.

The helpless derro 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 sprout slowly grows on 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.

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 derro conspiracy.

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 Giants were the backbone of the Deep King's power, so they decided to inflict the madness of the Abyss Demons on them, and use this as the curtain for the sinister plot to dedicate the city to the Demon Lord.

In other words, there is definitely another cultist settlement hidden in the entire vortex stone tunnel.

The ritual here is to transform the derro wizards into demon servants, 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 figuring out the problem, Brian patted Hesiah on the shoulder and told her to hide here and not show up. He could handle these cultists alone.

When Hesiah heard this, he 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 still 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 feel 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 side involuntarily.

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 got too close to 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, causing the entire cave to faintly shake, and rubble poured down like raindrops on the broken limbs of a group of derro dwarves.

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 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.

Naturally, he would not miss this golden opportunity, so 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 every derro dwarf wizard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The flaming arrows that hit exploded into a splendid 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 face stepped out.

I saw her raising her arm, revealing a white arm.

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

——"Dimension jump!"

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

Brian stabilized his body and 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 the 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 who is 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 chosen one of the Demon Lord, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

However, it was not as scary as I imagined.

Because most of 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 level one or level two to level three.

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."

"Um?"

Brian squinted his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.

He immediately understood that this demonic elect was absolutely proficient in mind reading, and 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 upgrade!"

——"The mind is blank!"

Brian concentrated, mobilized his spiritual energy, and cleared 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!"

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

After all, the opponent's master is a demon lord who is proficient in mind manipulation, and what he bestows on his followers is naturally powerful dark powers such as mind reading and control.

Thinking of this, Brian slightly curved his lips.

"Hehehe..."

In the empty cave, a slutty smile echoed continuously, and the demon elect's crystal clear blood-red eyes were like starry 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 amazingly plump breasts popped out.

Faintly, you can still vaguely see the bright red whip marks left on the ravines of the white and tender skin inside. Even the inner sides of her slender thighs that she lifted up have scarlet scars.

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 demon elect's mouth curled up, looking at him playfully, taking his left hand and placing it towards the whip mark on her inner thigh.

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 Chosen One.

——"Ma Youfu Micro Meteor!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Eight explosions in a row, the devil's elect was being madly output, and a hot explosion erupted from the tempting body.

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

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

Her alluring female body suddenly transformed into a thick torso, slender thighs, and a lion's hind legs, while 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 blood dripping from her abdomen, turning around and running away again. His expression relaxed, he put down what he was doing, and stared coldly at her leaving 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 Hesiah holding the rune sword suddenly appeared.

——"Lightning Hook!"

She waved her left hand, and a crackling lightning beam twisted flexibly like a snake, and shot into the portal that was about to disappear.

"ah!!!"

Along with the painful wails from the portal, the leaping lightning hook of the electric light trapped the huge body of the lion, and dragged it out of the portal, leaving it hanging in the air, struggling wildly.

Hesiah was about to swing her sword to kill, 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:

"Although I don't know what this strange move of yours means, I always feel that it is more appropriate for you to complete this final blow."

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

Looking at the considerate sword mage, Brian took the sword and neatly took away the life of the lion.

"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 perfectly control this lion. That's enough." Hesayah snorted softly and replied to him stiffly.

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

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, ignored the angry gaze of the sword mage and the clanging sound of the sword being sheathed, 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 fortress 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 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 actually uses the red dragon egg as a medium, injecting the power of the bottomless abyss into it, and finally allows the demon lord Graz'zt to hatch his own incarnation into the main material world.

"As expected."

After reading the general process of the ceremony, Brian put the book away, looking astonished.

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

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 inside another book.

His expression changed, and he immediately opened it to check and found that it was a letter written in broken dwarven language.

Narak:

There are a lot of corpses! There are traps in Hegram, the Stonespeaker. Traps, traps, traps. But Jip is very cunning, and he is still small! Jip can hear them talking, and then they mention names when they speak, and then Jip

Hear the name, and then Jip writes the name, and then gives you the name, so you have to give Jip time. But you have to give Jip a lot of corpses. Fresh and fresh corpses, Jip must fulfill his sacred destiny!

——Jeep

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

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

A manifestation of the derro god Dikalaze himself - as the murderer.

He relies on bloody sacrifices to build a carnage path for his people in the Underdark to follow him to glory. It is possible that Gyp imagined that any of his setbacks (including his capture and imprisonment) were 'holy'

God willing'.

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 seemed terrible, but Brian was not worried at all, because Jeep's killing ritual to summon the mad god would definitely fail.

"Where are we going next?" Hesiah walked up to him cautiously and asked.

"Go deep into the tunnel and find a black broken spire." Brian put his items in order and said with a slightly solemn expression.
Chapter completed!
