CHAPTER IX
It was a fully enclosed underground chamber, with granite walls, the same texture of the ceiling and floor, and the two stainless steel gates, all engraved with dense magical symbols, supported by these magic, this secret room could withstand the full impact of a giant dragon without any damage, and on the only passage to the outside world, at least twenty mechanical golems were led by five mages to guard the exit day and night, and before them, at least fifty magic traps turned nearly a kilometer of passage into a path of deathγ Except for the gods and the owner of this place, there is no free entry and exit here.
But the purpose of all this is not to defend against foreign invasions, but to intercept the creatures that may escape from the chamber.
Tenth-Order Mage Carson stood beside the magic circle in the center of the secret room with a solemn face, and behind him, Rhaegar was curiously observing the summoned demon who was firmly bound in the circle by the magic symbol.
That's a treacherous.
Even in the Demon Realm, this demon is known for its cunning and erudition as an absolute undesirable object, their greedy nature makes them lustful for any treasure that does not belong to them, and their profound knowledge and shrewd mind provide them with the tools to obtain these treasures, in short, the role of this demon in the Demon Realm is the equivalent of a liar in this world.
The demon roared in a low voice, showing his white fangs from time to time, and at the same time as he was summoned, the demon began to impatiently hit the force field formed by the surrounding magic array, trying to break the barrier that restricted his freedom, although this kind of demon is not known for its physical strength, the impact of the demon that is two and a half meters tall and weighs five hundred pounds is still full of shocking power.
However, both Carson and Rhaegar knew that this was just one of the tricks used by the Tricksters to make the summoner think he was just a reckless man and lose his guard.
"Sarud. Carson called out the demon's name in a long, strange emphasis, while injecting a trace of energy into the magic circle beneath his feet.
A flash of lightning appeared in the clearing in the center of the magic array, and quickly wrapped around the demon's body like a vine that grew attached to a tree, and the high-voltage current suddenly caused the demon who was showing his muscle strength to convulsively fall to the ground.
"Three times or five?" Carson said calmly to the struggling treacher, "Won't you come out in a more civilized way?"
The demon, who had managed to get rid of the entanglement of electric light, cursed and struggled to get up from the ground, but never collided with the force field again.
"I'm busy," said the demon impatiently, "Tell me, what's the matter this time? Is it that one of your pretty little mages is out of order, or is it that you are powerless?"
Another flash of lightning burst out of the ground, this time with much more power than the last time, the demon was knocked down by the lightning and could not stand up for a long time, but this did not stop him from laughing wildly.
"Enough. The mage shouted in a low voice as he raised the staff in his hand, "In the name of the scepter, I order you to stop. β
The effect of this sentence was clearly greater than the threat of electric shock, and Sarud stopped laughing, his angry eyes unwillingly looking at Carson who was holding his staff aloft.
"Damn," cursed the Demon, "may you and your abominable scepter be with the fire of hell forever!"
"Introduce you to my student, Rhaeggar. Carson didn't pay any attention to the other party's attitude, and directly explained his intentions to the other party, "He has some problems, after an attack, some kind of magic hurt his soul, causing him to lose almost all of his memories except magic. β
"Soul-damaging magic?" was a topic that immediately aroused the interest of the demons, whose greatest hobby besides deception was the study of all kinds of strange things, especially the souls of various creatures, which greatly enriched their knowledge and made their deception more sophisticated, and also became one of the reasons why the demon lords were able to tolerate this race for a long time - as hateful as it was, you have to admit that the knowledge of these guys is very useful a lot of the time.
Two green rays of light shot out of Sarud's eyes, pointing directly at Rhaegar standing behind Carson, who had already learned through the magic array that these were just two detection rays, and Carson did not stop the demon, and under his signal, Rhaegar could only stand in place and let the light fall on his body.
The spirit hiding in the flesh clearly felt the spiritual power from the light, this demon known for its deception obviously has a deep study of spirit and soul, and the power as thin as a silk thread turned into a huge net after entering Rhaeggar's body, enveloping the latter's soul in its entirety, and began to explore and study it carefully.
"He was badly injured. Half an hour later, Sarud withdrew his mental power and said to Carson, "Although there are very few spells that harm pure souls, as far as I know, there are some spells that can still indirectly damage the souls of the living through attacks on the flesh, and it is clear that your students are being attacked by one of these spells. β
"Can you repair this damage?" Carson asked, "Or, find out what kind of spell he was damaged by?"
A mocking smile appeared on the demon's face: "It seems that our great mage has a problem, but this is understandable, except for the vanished gods, no one knows much about the soul - except for the great Sarud. Unfortunately, I can't find out what spell hurt him, unless you're willing to let my spirit into the depths of his soul, but that would make him an idiot forever, and it's clear that you're having to bring him to me. β
The demon's eyes were filled with schadenfreude: "But his injuries are not incurable, but it will take quite a long time, and besides, he will suffer a lot. He looked at the old mage who bound him: "This kind of pain may kill him, of course, maybe not so severe, at most it will only make him uncomfortable for a while, it all depends on his luck." β
Carson knew the cunning demon in front of him, and even under the constraints of his scepter, he would try his best to mislead others or confuse his opponent's mind with inexplicable or even inconsistent words, but to him, such a trick had no effect.
"I command you in the name of the scepter," Carson held the scepter in his hand again, "to the best of your ability, to heal the wounds on the soul of the person in front of you as soon as your ability allows, without leaving any side effects or adverse reactions, and until he recovers, you must respond to his summons every day to come here for healing until the time of the summoning is over." β
There was a look of extreme disgust on the demon's face, but he couldn't break the scepter that recorded his oath, and Sarud was forced to bow his head, "I will carry out the scepter's orders. The demon said reluctantly.
