"This is a misunderstanding. Although I am the god of death for the Bakais, I am not only able to extradite the souls of the Bakais. That is my foundation, but it is not my only one. Otherwise, I would not come to ask you for help.
Remember me."
Bakai Frog Spirit began to talk about riddles, but Reed understood what he meant. Although the so-called masked gods of death had an obvious control range when they were created, the root of their abilities was faith.
Even if it's not Bakai, as long as there are still people who believe in Bakai's frog spirit, then he can maintain his existence. This is why he came to Reed with a face.
"Does this mean that as long as a creature believes in me, I can extradite him to the underworld when he dies?"
Reed thought for a while, this ability is dispensable for him. If he could enter the underworld on his own, he might be tempted, but these masked gods of death obviously do not have the ability to directly enter the underworld.
Except for the dead, no one can enter the underworld, and after the dead enter, they will completely dissipate and naturally cannot come out again. Therefore, the madman Sarn Uzul does still have two brushes.
"Sorry, I'm not in the habit of wearing a mask made of an intelligent creature on my face. You'd better find another way to do it.
Don’t you know that I used to be a member of the Kinkou sect? I won’t do such things that may affect the balance. Damn you, you are a useless god. Your destiny is to disappear.”
In the end, the price offered by Bakai Frog Spirit failed to satisfy Reed, so he once again rejected the other party's request, and even pulled out the "Killing Sect" for this reason.
There was no way, he had to pay the price of wearing such an ugly mask, and it was a mask that turned into a frogman, but in the end he could only get that kind of slightly useless ability. This was really hard for Reed to accept.
He felt that the price paid was not proportional to the gain.
And the most important thing is that the existence of this Bakai frog spirit is indeed of no benefit. His current role is just to linger and play hide and seek with the "vulture".
"Is this so..."
Bakai Frog Spirit murmured to himself. The light of hope in his eyes had gradually dimmed. It was obvious that Reed's rejection made him feel very disappointed.
"We are destined to meet again. I hope you can survive until then."
Reed no longer paid attention to the Bakai Frog Spirit that came up to him. He jumped directly into the endless abyss pit at his feet and came to the interlayer between the void and the Shurima continent.
Reed landed on the ground in the underground space. He had just stood firm, and the sleeping void creatures began to smell life and magic. They had been waiting for food for too long.
Those strange void creatures have terrifying chitin shells on their bodies. Their shapes and appearances are difficult to describe in words, and it is difficult to describe them with words that the creatures in Runeterra can understand.
If you have to describe it, you can probably only use "distorted" and "abstract", words that do not refer to specific shapes.
Because when they first entered Runeterra, these void creatures had no final shape. They were more like some kind of energy fluid. Their current weird shapes are the adaptive distortions that occurred after entering Runeterra.
Just like those void monitors under the Howling Abyss, they must adapt to the rules of the material realm after entering the material realm. This is not an irregular void, the rules of the material realm are very clear.
After entering the material realm, the energy body of the void biological fluid began to condense and turned into an extremely hard chitin shell. The appearance of the finally condensed body was naturally all kinds of strange. Although there were countless void creatures, there were almost no two.
are exactly the same.
"Buzz!!!"
Before those weird void bugs fully woke up, the whirlwind around Reed turned into a cold wind blade, scraping off a layer of the ground in the underground space. Before those void creatures had time to wake up, they quickly turned into
Purple smoke dissipated into the world.
Void creatures can indeed proliferate through the power of devouring magic, but only if they have the opportunity to start devouring them.
Reed's wind blade did not give them a chance. He chopped off their "hearts" accurately. Void creatures also have cores. Under their hardened chitin carapace, there is a heart that emits purple light.
's "heart".
"roar!!!"
An inhuman shout reached Reed's ears. The roar echoed in the mezzanine between the two worlds, and for a moment it was difficult to tell where the shout came from.
Several fish that had slipped through the net stood up. Their appearance was strange, with pale, dull faces with jet-black fangs and twelve eyes that emitted faint purple light, distributed in three different parts.
Their bodies have completely different numbers of segments, several arms, protruding spiked backs, and weirdly sharp long tails. Each one has distinct characteristics.
"Ahhhhhhh~!"
Before Reed could start to move, a long tailed scream sounded, which made him frown, because the scream came from above, from a familiar voice, and a masked frogman fell.
Come down.
"Ah! Saved! Thank you, Reed!"
Being dragged by a gentle breeze that rose from the ground, and landing smoothly on the ground, Bakai Frog Spirit thanked Reed with a smile.
"What are you here for? Looking for death?"
Reed was a little helpless. This guy seemed to be entangled with him, but he could actually understand it. After all, for this Bakai Frog Spirit, it was a dead word anyway. It was better to take a gamble on the option with the greatest chance of survival.
.
"I'm here to help you, what are you going to do? You're not going to the void, right? That's not where we should go."
Bakai Frog Spirit had a scowl on his face and said he wanted to help, but his words were full of fear of the void. Naturally, this god of death who has existed in Shurima for a long time knows the threat of the void.
After all, the decline of the Shurima Empire began with the Void War in Icathia. Queen Setaka and a group of outstanding Ascendants all died in this battle.
Most of the remaining Ascended Ones were contaminated by the power of the Void. From then on, the Shurima Empire's national destiny began to be gloomy. Although there were occasional resurgences in the process, it never reached its former power.
In Bakai Frog Spirit's view, if it hadn't been for the original war, the Shurima Empire would not have perished. Queen Setaka and the Celestial Warriors would have led the empire to continue to be great, and he would not have ended up where he is today.
