Chapter 419: The Tentacles of the Old Evil God
Freya and her clergy have discovered something terrible in the underworld, and it is the culprit that led to their eventual trapping. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was the Old Dominator, the nightmare of the deep sea, the water of the Old God, a tentacle of Cthulhu.
When the Templars said this, a fear on his face could not be suppressed.
It is the body of a real, part of the oldest deity in this world!
He remembered what had happened to them when they had just discovered this short, human forearm-length tentacle on top of an ancient altar in the heart of the dungeon.
In an instant, all the power of spells and divine spells was dispelled, and the will of the old gods, represented by the tentacles, instantly invaded everyone's heads, pulling them into a long and terrifying nightmare.
Legend has it that Cthulhu is the god of nightmares. The reason why the original creatures had nightmares was because of the existence of this god.
Even if it has been destroyed before the incalculable age, even if this tentacle is only the most inconspicuous of its countless tentacles, even if the tentacles have been sleeping underground for countless years, it still has terrifying power. Even if it is unmanned, the power that is simply released spontaneously is enough to pull anyone who sees it into an endless nightmare.
It stands to reason that the group of priests who are pulled into the nightmare must be the result of the group's annihilation. Even if there was a fourteenth-level genius paladin like Freya among them, even if all the clergy in this priesthood group had an average professional level of seven or above, how could the power of mortals be compared to the gods who once dominated the entire world?
They were destined for eternal torment in nightmares. However, a diamond on Freya's body, blessed in the Basilica of the Holy Child, saved them.
The divine power sealed in the sapphire was quickly stimulated after sensing the breath of the old gods, and the priests were pulled out of the boundless nightmare in time.
Freya then decides that she wants to bring out this evil tentacle and bring it back to the Holy See, where it will be purified.
However, this is the end of their life.
Despite the blessing and suppression of the Sacred Diamond, Cthulhu's tentacles could not further erode their spirits. But the power of the diamond is not endless, and two days after the priests left the dungeon, the power of the sacred diamond waned, and the power of Cthulhu's tentacles leaked out.
The power leaked out will not make the priests fall into a nightmare directly, after all, the power decay of the sacred diamond is not serious, but it will make those faceless ones 'smell' this breath
That's the big deal!
Those Faceless Ones are essentially a kind of life formed by the materialization of the power that Cthulhu's tentacles have been revealing for thousands of years, and their perception of this primordial power is very keen.
Originally, the priests, who were only three days away from leaving the underworld, were pursued. They fought their way all the way, but in the end they were trapped a day's walk from the exit.
Freya and the others held tentacles, and after attracting the attention of most of the Faceless Ones, they sent a team to break through and report the news, and in the end, the only one who escaped alive was the young Templar in front of him.
For the fact that these priests are likely to run into trouble in the underworld, Dane has long been mentally prepared. Even, he deliberately fooled Freya and asked her to take those priests to the underground world, which was not malicious.
If something happens, in fact, Dane doesn't matter at all, what does it matter if he dies? The Holy See is looking for trouble? Push it to those faceless ones in the underworld, there is a kind of your Holy See who will come to purify the underworld, Dane raised his hands and feet in agreement. Anyway, the Faceless Ones are real.
Even, at the beginning, after hearing the Templar's plea for help, Dane had no intention of sending a rescue.
However, this time the matter involves Cthulhu's tentacles, and Dane has to think about it a little more.
There is no doubt that it is a fetish. If that thing could be obtained by oneself, if nothing else, and sacrificed to the temple, how much value would it be? Come to think of it, even a bunch of Faceless Heads could be exchanged for a reward from the gods, so what could it be like a piece of the body of the Old Dominator?
The reward was so high that Dane couldn't even imagine it!
His heart was moved.
Crucially, when he summoned Eslor to ask her opinion on the matter, the priestess gave Dane another explanation.
This tentacle is the key to the emergence of the Faceless, an evil race formed from the power that spills out of this tentacle of Cthulhu. If this tentacle can be purified, then these faceless beings underground will be self-defeating, and all of them will die out on their own!
Well, that adds another reason for Dane to go to the underworld and do something.
These faceless ones were originally to be cleared out by him, but because there were too many of them, the difficulty of cleaning them up was too great, and the cost was relatively high, so since he came to this island, he had no time to deal with them for a long time, and could only set up a defense line at the entrance of the underground world.
But now, he has such a chance to clear them.
Coupled with the value of the sacrifice mentioned earlier, Dane decided to take the initiative and go to the underground world to fight, and by the way, save the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky.
After agreeing to the Templar's request, Dane began to rally his army at great speed.
With this in mind, he quickly decided on a team to go to the underworld.
Eslor and Cecilia, these two high priests must be brought. Easterling, a mage who has been promoted to level ten, also has to bring it. And Finn, the new Grand Druid, just brought it with him.
In addition, there is the army.
A hundred Templars, a large group of White Wolf Guards, a large group of Elven Rangers, plus a large group of Nightblade Panther Cavalry, and more than twenty drawn mages made up the team of this underground expedition.
The entire army was only a thousand men, but Dane had no intention of bringing more men.
In fact, it was these people that Dane was reluctant to bring. The Ranger and Nightblade Leopard Cavalry are good to say, and there are troops themselves returning from the mainland, and some of them are stationed in Orinedu. But the White Wolf Heavy Infantry needs him to get it from the White Wolf Fort through teleportation.
To go to the underworld to fight, you shouldn't bring too many troops with you. The complex environment of the underground is destined to be unsuitable for the battle of large armies. An elite force of 1,000 people is almost the limit.
