87 Ancient Shelter

"Master, the demon fortress in the game is completely different from the situation in the dark world. In the game, the Demon Fortress is where the player appears, and then they just have to fight all the way. First in the suburban savannah, then in the Plains of Despair, slay the rebellious archangel Ejar, then use the Hellforge and Hammer to smash Mephisto's Soul Stone in the City of Divine Punishment, and finally enter the ancient sanctuary deep in the River of Fire to unleash Diablo, the Lord of Fear.

However, in the dark world, Archangel Tyrell leads his army of angels and the powerhouses of the human race to occupy the ancient shelter in the game, that is, the place where Diablo was sealed, resisting the invasion of demons and preventing them from opening the seal to release the Lord of Fear. The new Demon God, the Silkworm, gathered a large number of demons that came along the River of Fire and were born in the River of Fire and the Ancient Refuge, occupying the Plains of Despair and the City of Divine Punishment, and confronting the Angel Legions and humans.

This brings us to the Ancient Vault, which is not a cathedral in the game, but contains the Demon Fortress, the Plains of Despair, the City of Divine Punishment, the River of Fire, and the Sealed Land of Diablo, all of which together are a complete Vault. The cathedral in the game is nothing more than the place where Diablo was sealed.

Legend has it that it was a descendant of angels and demons, a separate space built by the ancestors of the first generation of humans, known as Nefarem, who were more powerful than angels and demons. There is no entrance to this independent space, and it can only be entered and exited by the summons of the archangel Tyrell, and Akara is one of the humans who has the power to call on the archangel Tyrell.

We had doubts before that why Andariel didn't take action personally, and even Camp Rog didn't have a record of her doing it herself, so it seems that this is the problem. One reason, of course, is the need to absorb the spiritual power that emanates from human fear, and the other reason is that she probably doesn't want to be an enemy of the archangel Tyrell too soon. As long as she really dares to destroy the humans in Rog's camp, Akara will definitely summon the archangel, although he will not necessarily come. And Tyrell's main purpose in the Ancient Vault is to defend against the Pawns, and it is impossible for him to personally deal with Andariel, what if the Pawns sense his departure, break through the defenses, and release Diablo?

This is perhaps the main reason why a relative balance has been struck here. ”

After an in-depth conversation with Akara, everyone learned the truth about the City of Divine Punishment, which of course was only what Akara said. Then, based on these truths, Rodney combined the plot announced in the game to tell what he had analyzed about the situation of the Ancient Vault.

"Because of the lack of information before, my analysis did not take into account the existence of the archangel Tyrell and the demon god Yishuer, but judging from the current situation, it is still the most ideal place for us to fight monsters and upgrade." Rodney said.

"Yes, I see." Liu Siyi nodded and said, "You also know that we will not participate in the war in the dark world until our strength is insufficient. As for what you said about the world created by the first generation of humans, it is better to say that it was created by an archangel who wanted peace. Without saying that, what do you think we need to do in this relatively balanced situation? ”

"Master, under the guardianship of Archangel Tyrell, the Sealed Lands possess a divine power that can withstand the destruction of most forces, which is why it has been able to exist in the River of Fire for thousands of years. The war between Tyrell's angelic legions and the demon armies of the Clothiers never stopped, with large-scale wars happening from time to time, and small-scale battles taking place almost every day. As the two giants of the Supreme Command, Tyrell and Eater are equally powerful, and they don't really fight to the death. Therefore, after we pass, the most we have to face is the level of power of the ashes. As long as we are careful enough, coupled with the power of various hidden artifacts, safety can still be guaranteed. Rodney analyzed.

"Okay, that's it, you go over first, and we'll get in touch when the time comes." Liu Siyi handed over the poisonous eyes to Rodney to use, and the two sides set a time to contact, and when the time came, they could go directly to it, which was convenient and fast.

……………………………………………………

"Is this the River of Fire, it's so magnificent."

In order to prevent Diablo from coming out of the Sealed Land, and also to fight against the demon army led by the Demon God Cloth, the Archangel Tyrell actually built this sealed place into a castle similar to the demon fortress in the game, named Angel Castle, which is guarded by the Angel Legion led by him and the strong men in the human race.

Pentagram Seal, as long as you open the five seals, you can completely release the King of Fear. Therefore, in order to protect these five seals, the construction of the Angel Castle is also based on the size of the seals.

The scope of the seal is not too large, it is about the same as the scope of the cathedral in the game, which was built by Tyrell as a city within a city, guarded by Tyrell and his guardian angels, and others are strictly forbidden to enter unless there are special circumstances. Beyond the seal is the Angel Castle where the angel legion and the human army defend against the demons.

The castle is about the size of the Forbidden City, the capital of the country, but it is full of Western features. The walls are depicted with various battles between angels, demons, and humans, and without exception, angels and humans have won. There are also images of angels and humans living in peace, full of longing for a better world. Of course, there is also the picture of the creation of the world by the creator god, and so on.

Liu Siyi appeared in the domain space within Rodney's poisonous eyes through the spatial passage, and was then released. Standing on the walls of this angel castle full of Western characteristics, looking at the castle floating on the almost endless river of flames, I can't help but sigh for this kind of miracle that can only be found in fantasy worlds.

The entire castle is shrouded in the divine power barrier set up by the archangel Tyrell, which can also show how powerful he is. Of course, the various attacks of the demons on the periphery will definitely consume these divine powers, and at this time, it is necessary for the angels and human powerhouses to launch a counterattack and kill the demons. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tyrell alone to protect the extent of a castle.

There was only one road in front of the castle leading into the distance, and not far away, angels and humans were fighting demons on a wide field of lava.

This path may be able to return to the Plains of Despair or the suburban prairie, or the City of Divine Punishment, but looking at the path of the River of Fire on the side, it is estimated that no one dares to go up. Besides, those places are now all occupied by demons, and it's useless to go. The greater role of this path is to assume the role of the demon army attacking the Angel Castle, after all, many demons and undead creatures cannot directly attack from the River of Fire due to their own attributes. On the far side of the road lies a gathering place of demons, some of whom are gathering their men and ready to attack again at any moment.

"Master, no wonder Akara said that only those who have reached the seventh order can enter the Ancient Shelter, and without the corresponding strength, they can't withstand the oppressive force of this world at all. Those who are only of the seventh order are estimated to be no stronger than the elites of the sixth order. Rodney said.

"Well, I feel it too, but it shouldn't matter, we are suppressed, and the demons should be similarly suppressed." Liu Siyi nodded and asked, "What is the task that Tyrell assigned to us?" ”

"Tyrell just opened the door to another dimension and brought us in, and we couldn't even talk to him other than to meet him at first. The person in charge of managing our human team is his assistant, an angel called Hader whose strength is also at the peak of the ninth order, but it feels stronger than ashes, doesn't it feel a little familiar?

Since we had just arrived here, we were not immediately assigned a combat mission, but asked us to familiarize ourselves with the castle as soon as possible. Rodney replied.

"Hader? I remember, could it be the angel in the game before entering the Ancient Vault? Liu Siyi asked.

"It should be, judging from the situation in Rog's camp, the two worlds must be related, maybe they are parallel worlds." Rodney replied.

"Well, these are not things we should care about, and if we come out like this, won't it make people suspicious?" Liu Siyike still remembered Andariel and Akara's abilities, they were able to instantly convey their thoughts to everyone's ears, and the same was true for the archangel Tyrell, if he found out about himself and the others, wouldn't it be very troublesome.

"No, although our ontology must have been seen through, with our strength, we should not be able to attract their attention. What's more, you're still a real human being, so don't worry. Rodney explained.

"Anyway, I'm still a little worried, but it's useless to think so much, it's better to improve your strength as soon as possible." Liu Siyi sighed.
