No.194 Dagon
An eerie gibbous moon hangs high above the Devil's Reef, and the miserable white moonlight is the only source of light here. The rising moon shone on such an eerie mountain range, giving off a cold wind that swished in the shadows. Except for the sound of the sea crashing against the cliffs, everything here is eerily quiet.
The abominable fish-men hid in the middle of the sea mist, and the fishy stench from them spread throughout the valley with the wind, and the filth and uncleanness of the land were simply maddening.
Ye Yifan couldn't see those deep divers clearly, but the black pressure on both sides of the canyon was definitely not an illusion, because those weird white eyes, like thousands of ghost fires, looked at the strange and thick stone pillar.
With a slight probe, the fishy smell suddenly became stronger, and Ye Yifan had no choice but to lie on his stomach in the mud full of rotting corpses, quietly observing the situation.
When it saw Megumi Kama, it knew that its guess was correct. She had been caught by the divers long before she landed on Devil's Reef, and since there were no other ships nearby, she must have been dragged alive from the sea by the divers. Even after being treated like this, even being slapped by the cold sea for a long time, she showed no sign of waking up, and it seemed that she was greatly frightened.
If it were an ordinary person, in the face of such a strange scene, the San value would definitely be cleared, and Megumi Izuma, as a legend of TPC, would definitely not have much left even if she still kept her sanity.
As an ancient person, Ye Yifan would not lose any reason in the face of this kind of scene, even in the face of the old dominator. As the incarnation of Yogsothoth, its power has at least reached the level of the Old Dominator, but that power is completely used to awaken the origin power in the body, otherwise why not be afraid of the Old Dominator?
There are very few things that can affect its spirit, maybe only the outer god level can make it crazy, but there is forbidden knowledge and indescribable spells in the brain. As an ancient, Ye Yifan can rule a planet with this thing alone, and he doesn't need to be afraid of deep divers at all, what he is afraid of is that it will affect other people.
It is a great thing to be able to maintain human reason up to now, but it has come into contact with too many unspeakable things, and its own corrosion is increasing, and it can only pray for a solution before then.
Megumi Juma can't die, as her favorite senior, Ye Yifan must ensure that she survives! As long as this incident can be resolved safely and smoothly, it will be able to meet the predecessors of the True Horn Great Gu!
Thinking about how to solve Megumi Juma, she suddenly noticed that Megumi Kuruma had woken up and was looking around in horror, but the members of the Brut team still didn't react.
Megumi felt very cold when she woke up, and at the same time, there was a pungent fishy smell that filled the surroundings. She heard the sound of the sea crashing against the reef, noticed the strange light around her, and looked to the side.
With the help of that strange light, Megumi Kuruma watched the rushing stream lap against the cliffs, and the waves washed the roots of the huge monolith, and she realized that this strange light came from this stone pillar.
The surface of the boulder was covered with rough carvings and inscriptions, and it was the appearance of a deep diver, and suddenly Megumi realized that he was no longer in Innsmouth, but on the devil's reef!
Suddenly, Megumi noticed that there were four or five bound humans around her, she knew that those people were members of the Brut team, but fortunately she didn't see Ye Yifan's figure, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, which may mean that Ye Yifan was not caught by the group of deep divers.
Then Megumi heard a beastly noise, with hoarse sizzles, growls, and barks, but none of them resembled human speech. She realized that the strange creatures were right in front of her, but she couldn't help but look at them.
This move almost made her faint again.
The abominable filthy creatures poured through the sea mist endlessly, watching them flutter, jump, noise, and whisper. It was as if dancing the grotesque and sinister Kirishima in a nightmare, crowded through the gloomy moonlight in a completely inhuman manner.
Some of them wore tall crowns made of nameless white-gold metal...... Some were also dressed in strange robes...... There was also a monster leading the way in front of him, wearing a black coat with a terrifying bulge on the back, striped pants, and a felt hat buttoned over the ugly thing that was supposed to be the head.
Wearing human clothes even though he was not human, Megumi Kurama's every inch of mental peace and confidence in the world and the human mind remained intact came to an end.
As a TPC scholar, all the anomalies and horrors she had seen before could not be compared to this blasphemous, demonic reality, and she now wondered if she had a fever or was she hallucinated by the smell of fish. Otherwise, how could you see such a horrific scene!
The air was filled with their hoarse roars, and the ground trembled almost with their strange rhythmic steps. Where does the madness begin to dissipate, and where does reality begin again? Could it even be that the recent fears are just fantasies?
Megumi had almost stopped breathing, and all that was left in her mind was this hellish, crazy deformed scene.
Ye Yifan, who was on the hill at this moment, couldn't lie down, because the group of deep divers had already started the ritual, and it could feel that the sea water nearby was surging and boiling, and something terrible was surging towards this side.
Then Ye Yifan slid down the slope of the hill, using the bulge on the hill as a point of strength, and landed perfectly in front of the group of deep divers, and even posed a JOJO in a riotous manner.
The deep diver was stunned by this commotion scene, and Megumi Kuruma also noticed Ye Yifan, and the fear on her face dissipated a little.
When the group of deep divers saw Ye Yifan appearing here alone, they thought that this was a sacrifice sent to the door, and jumped towards it one by one like frogs. The smooth figure looked extremely terrifying in the moonlight, and even the bulging eyes emitted a ferocious light.
Only a handful of divers jumped over, and the rest of the divers still performed the ritual with their eerie dance moves and hoarse voices. The robed and crowned diver knelt down in front of the pillar, showing a strange display of adoration and fanaticism.
Faced with this kind of scene, Ye Yifan didn't feel afraid, the coercion belonging to the primeval was released, and his eyes were as deep as the void of the universe. The movements of those deep divers were obviously stalemate, and then they fell five meters in front of Ye Yifan.
For some reason, the group of deep divers felt fear from this human being, and they took a few steps back cautiously, but Ye Yifan didn't plan to let them go like that!
An ancient and obscure spell spat out from Ye Yifan's mouth, and the faces of the group of deep divers quickly became ugly, the already bulging eyeballs became even more protruding, and the mouth also spat at the foam, as if the lack of oxygen caused by the inability to breathe fresh air.
Then the divers collapsed on the filthy dirt in their struggles, and they were now literally flapping on the ground like stranded fish, but it wasn't long before they stopped moving.
The fishy smell of the dead deep diver is more grand, and there is also a rotting stench. This sight terrified the other divers, but for the sake of the ceremony, they still jumped towards Ye Yifan one after another, and as for those divers dressed as priests, they still knelt beside the stone pillar and chanted incantations as if they hadn't seen this.
Deep divers want to get close to Ye Yifan, even if there is only one of them, they can tear this damn human to pieces, but as long as they hear that obscure sound, they will have a hypoxic reaction, and then completely rot like the fish and shrimp buried in this land.
Ye Yifan chanted a spell and kept stepping forward, and with every step he took, a deep diver would die. It wants to kill the priests who chant the incantations, so that the entire ritual will be ruined and Cthulhu, the old ruler of the father god Dagon, will not wake up.
All of this was also seen by Megumi in the middle, and Ye Yifan could also notice her surprised gaze, but it had already thought of an excuse.
The identity of the primeval must not be revealed, even if Meguma can conceal this news, but the kind of espionage behavior of Zong Fujii cannot be guaranteed. If the bureau knows its primeval identity, then the relatively peaceful life will have to say goodbye to it completely.
So afterwards, Ye Yifan planned to say that he had seen the spell of expelling the deep diver in the basement of the church, because he had been to Miskatonic University and read the Book of Necronomicon, so he could understand those spells. It is also with the help of this spell that he can come back safe and sound, and destroy the cult rituals.
Even if Megumi didn't believe it, the boulder of the church had been destroyed, and she couldn't confirm it.
In this way, Ye Yifan approached the priest deep diver, the boulder and the intermediary Hui step by step. Although Megumi didn't know what was going on, she was glad to see those monsters defeated, but it was then that she noticed the mutation......
Tides rushed towards the pillars, and a series of ripples that were closer than the undulating hills in the distance. Then, another big wave hit the faces of the Brut players, and they finally woke up from their coma.
The group of priest deep divers suddenly stopped chanting, turned to their knees in the direction of the waves, and spat out an extremely strange but fanatical voice. In a trance, Ye Yifan understood their voices, and they were shouting: "Father... Dagon....... Dagon?! ”
Then, with the slight churning of the waves, a huge monster covered in gray and green and covered in scales rose from the dark waters. The ugly and massive body resembles a normal deep diver, but the claws are sharper and the face is more hideous!
"Uh-ahhhhh Yikes......!! ”
A sudden and terrifying scream made Ye Yifan almost stop chanting the spell and was torn apart by the deep diver who pounced. There was panic and fear in that scream that didn't seem like what humans had, and Ye Yifan realized that it was the woke up Brut team who made the scream.
Their eyes, which had been over the stone pillars and staring at the fishy sea, widened visibly. Out of fear, their fingernails had pierced their palms, and blood dripped down their fingers into the foul seawater. And when Ye Yifan's gaze bypassed the stone pillar in front of him and looked at the place they were looking at, he also froze in place motionlessly.
Megumi Kuruma turned her head to look at the faces of the Brut team that were melting from the stiffness of fear. They were flustered, their eyelids twitching, their gums chattering and unable to utter a word.
"W-......! …… Yikes! ”
An earth-shattering roar came from behind the stone pillar, a terrifying beast that made people's blood clot. Ye Yifan's gaze bypassed the stone pillar, and he also saw the reason that frightened the Brut team.
For in the midst of that sea stands the leader of the deep divers, the god Dagon the Father!
