Chapter 563: Codeword Code Gets Cramps OTZ
"Wait," Sivi suddenly realized something strange in the other man's words.
He looked with some alarm at Cerberus, who had quieted down and was lying on the ground like a big dog, and asked suspiciously, "The plane of hell?" Isn't it an abyss? β
There is no such thing as a 'hell plane' in the myths and legends of humans in this world, although there are some monsters with the word hell in their names, such as the Hell's Two-Headed Giant, the Hellland Lava Worm, and the Hellfire, but most of them only come from the abyss (Hellfire is from the fire elemental plane).
Even Cerberus, a monster known as the Three-Headed Dog of Hell, is mythological only the forerunner of the Abyss's attack on the main material plane.
"Of course not." "The conceptual level of hell," "is much deeper than the abyss." Probably because he relaxed, the two heads on the left and right of Cerberus also participated in the conversation, and the three heads took turns to reply.
"But the myths and legends of mankind, and all the literature that has been handed down from that era, do not mention hell." Sivi still couldn't believe it.
"That's rightfully acted." "Because hell is the only way to this world." "It's in my stomach right now."
Probably feeling too tired to speak, Cerberus leaned on his front paws, obviously closing his mouth, but the thunderous words still exploded in Sivi's ears.
For such an ancient boss who has lived from the beginning of the Age of Mythology to the present, the psychic dialogue in which the magicians of this era have not been able to develop a workable theoretical system is just a small trick that is not worth it......
It's just that Mao wants to divide it into three paragraphs like when he speaks, so it's not a matter for Xiwei to care about.
"You mean, after that fight between you and Holgros. Did you just swallow this dimensional passage? β
Sivi asked cautiously, keenly aware that he seemed to be unwittingly beginning to come into contact with some of the great mysteries of the Age of Mythology.
"Holgros?" "Who's that?" "I haven't heard of it."
The three dogheads, whose eyes had already narrowed, all said that they were completely unaware of the human hero who was famous for defeating it.
"It's the human you knocked you back when you first came to the main material plane." Sivi considered his words, and instead of defeating, he used a more gentle repulsion.
"Coming to the main material plane at the beginning?" "You're kidding." "And it's not funny at all."
"No, it's not a joke, don't you remember it anymore?" Sivi said a little depressed.
The battle between the strongest battle mage, Holgoros, and the three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus, kicked off the Abyss's assault on the main material plane in disguise. It's just that there were still a lot of advance monsters at that time, and there were even small groups of monster legions in some places, and all kinds of battlefields were wonderful, in comparison, Holgros not only failed to win a big victory, but the battle scene was not like some places that destroyed a city or something just by the aftermath.
In addition, Cerberus disappeared after this battle, leaving only the current pile of high-level cannon fodder monsters with the name of the three-headed dog of hell. Therefore, the first scene of this mythical era has also been forgotten by the vast majority of people. If Xiwei didn't have LV6 mythology, it is estimated that he would not know the allusions in the road.
"When I first came to the main material plane, humans had not yet been born!" "The whole land is covered with volcanoes and tall ferns, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and sparks." "Monsters are on the rampage. And they're all really scary guys. β
All three heads paused. Then the head in the middle continued: "Even at that time, I had to flee back to the hellish plane. β
Sivi's mouth opened wide. I don't know what to say.
He originally thought that he had overestimated the age of this big dog enough, but he didn't expect to underestimate it - in his previous life, this thing is a monster that has lived from the time of dinosaurs to the present! It's not cockroaches, total-finned fish, or elacanths, which are just living fossils with similar physical characteristics to their counterparts of that era. Rather, it is a living fossil in the true sense of the word, which is counted in 100,000 years!
In an era when even humans don't exist, how long will Nimana have to be far away......
If you look at it this way, sleeping from the age of mythology to this era can really only be regarded as a nap in the afternoon.
In addition, it turns out that the ancient main material plane is such a terrible place, even this guy has to run away with his tail between his legs.
For some reason, Sivi's mind came up with the cone-shaped object that suddenly appeared on the fourth floor of the Tower of Grinding, in the Battle of Taliecid, the last major battle...... How strong and weak would the ancient creatures of the main material plane be compared to the monsters in the cones?
These thoughts only flashed through Sivi's mind like a wandering mind.
Soon he stabilized his emotions: "So did you fight a human before swallowing the plane passage?" β
"No, as soon as I came out of the passage," "I swallowed the passage whole," "Of course there is a reason for that." β
At this point, the three heads of Cerberus said in unison, "But I can't tell you yet." β
It is true that at present, Sivi neither fully believes in it, nor has he promised to help it, let alone prepare to sign a contract with it. Of course, there are many things that cannot be discarded.
"Alright, let's put Holgross aside for now."
Sivi patted his head and said with a bit of a headache, "Can't you move after swallowing the plane passage?" β
Recalling the battle just now, he soon found that Cerberus had basically never really stood up, and the only time he stretched out his claws was because he was embarrassed and angry by Sivi.
"No, it was okay at first." "I was also in a fight with a lot of things in the beginning." "At that time, the Geographical Plane Passage was able to give me a lot of power."
The three-headed dog of hell smacked his mouth, as if he was nostalgic for his scenery at that time.
"But then it suddenly changed." "The plane passage is starting to expand, probably because the things inside are trying to escape. Who knows. "Anyway, it was only at that time that I was a little uncomfortable with the expansion channel."
When Cerberus finished speaking, the cold sweat on Sivi's head was even more.
- It turns out that in the age of mythology, the power of hell seemed to be mixed up, but because the only entrance was eaten by Cerberus, he had to give up and remained unknown until now.
You must know that the large-scale invasion of resisting the abyss in the mythological era of the Dao Dao has almost exhausted all the strength of humanity and its allies, and if there is another hell at that time, the final result is really unpredictable.
In other words, this thing indirectly saved the entire main material plane!
Sivi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his emotions.
He quietly pulled open the mission panel of the academy system. It was found that there was indeed an extra task to help the three-headed dog of hell take out the dimensional passage.
Oddly enough. This task is grayed out and unreachable.
"So how can I get the plane passage out of your belly?" Turning the panel off, Sivi asked Cerberus again.
"Don't worry, you're still weak." "Yes, very weak." "It's too weak to accept."
"Even if you know how to take out the passage." "You're so weak." "I can't do it."
"So it's a priority." "It's about improving your strength as soon as possible," "until you're strong enough." β
The three heads sang and harmonized, and Xiwei was a little crying and laughing.
Dare to say that a great magician is weak. Probably only these old monsters of the living fossil level.
All in all, since this task does appear on the task panel of the academy system, it means that what Cerberus said is not a lie made up in order to get out of trouble, but a fact, and the reason why he can't take it is probably because he can't complete it with his current strength.
"What are you going to do after that? Do you want me to send you back to where you were before to continue hibernation? β
He asked tentatively, "Although it's spring now......
"No need." "I'll stay here with my body." "You're more at ease, aren't you?"
Cerberus replied, his eyes narrowing again, as if he were going to fall asleep at any moment.
"Also," "The contract method of the equal contract," "You don't need me to teach you, do you?" β
The equal contract is actually one of the interdimensional summoning magic, in fact, in today's space magic is lackluster in the magic world, it has been lost, but this magic is still recorded in the magic book panel of the academy system, and all Sivi needs to pay is a skill crystal (he has saved a lot of this thing).
The Equality Pact is somewhat similar to the Dragon's Oath, but the contractors have very few means to bind each other, and there is no way to get the amount of power that the other party can give back. The only good thing is that the mana that needs to be consumed by the summoning is borne by both parties, and it is generally not too much to be shared......
It's just that there was still something wrong with Sivi when he made a contract with Cerberus, and the rank of the three-headed dog of hell was much higher than Sivi, so that Sivi, who smashed the equality contract to the full level with a skill crystal, still failed more than a dozen times before barely succeeding in the contract.
"Then you just rest here slowly, I'll leave first. If you have any questions, please contact me through the contract. β
Just as Sivi was about to leave, Cerberus stopped him.
"I have been asleep for thousands of years, and I have been banished from my homeland." "Now you've broken into my world," "You're killing yourself!" β
Sivi: "......"
"Oh, sorry, I think I said the wrong line." "You know, because we've been asleep for so long, we occasionally have something strange in our heads." "For example, the projection of information from the otherworldly realm and the like."
The three dog heads all looked embarrassed in the face of Xiwei's cold gaze.
"Ahem, sleeping too long will cause us to be completely ignorant of the current situation in the world." "The asymmetry of information can make us make wrong judgments." "Therefore, it is also very important to see the current world with your own eyes."
Xiwei frowned slightly: "Do you mean that you want to go out?" β
"Of course not, I will never go back on what I said." "Don't underestimate the self-esteem of the three-headed dog of hell, human!" "I'd be glad if you would bring me some snacks."
The other two heads looked at the one on the right hand who asked for a snack, and their faces were full of helplessness.
On the right-hand side, the head hangs its head. They didn't even go on until their ears drooped.
"Anyway, our ontology doesn't want to get out of here." "We have a better idea than that." "If there's meat, I think I'll like you."
"Enough, shut up for me!" "The glory of Cerberus, how can you ...... here" "Wait, wait, I'm joking, don't bite, do you want to be Ottrus (a two-headed dog with a viper's tail, an abyssal creature. Defeat level 23)! β
Looking at the three heads that suddenly started playing. Xiwei suddenly felt a subtle sense of powerlessness - was he just frightened by these three unsuccessful guys......
"I'm sorry to interrupt your entertainment, but can you tell me what you think?"
"To put it simply, we'll project a doppelganger and go out with you." "She uses her perspective to understand everything in the outside world, and she can draw strength from us. To help you to a certain extent. "Because it's just a doppelganger of our projection. It doesn't matter if you die. β
"I'll ask first. What is the strength of your clones? β
Sylvie was the first to ask the question he was most concerned about.
"The strength of her is not conclusive," "It only has to do with the level of support we have." "As you know, there will always be a lot of difficulty in transmitting force through space."
This kind of answer can't be used as a reference at all.
Sivi frowned slightly. There was some embarrassment about their proposals.
Although he has signed an equal contract with it, the other party is still an incomparably powerful and vicious three-headed dog of hell. Its doppelganger strength will definitely not be too weak, what if Xiwei can't control the other party outside at that time? Can this time-bomb-like guy really get out of the water?
"There's no need to think about it." "Yes or no." "You just have to answer briskly."
Seeing that Sivi seemed to be lost in thought, Cerberus whispered.
Of course, even if it was whispered, its thunderous noise still scared Sivi.
"Okay, but you'll have to make sure that doppelganger is obedient."
After the last, Xiwei gritted his teeth and agreed.
His decision apparently pleased Cerberus, who even wagked his tail slightly in goodwill.
And then the way the doppelganger appeared made Xiwei frown.
At first, he was going to try to learn something, but the thing didn't use any magic at all, and spat out a little girl in a princess dress, with long chestnut hair, pointed fox-like ears on her head, and a long tail behind her buttocks......
Say good about the projection peat!
Before Sivi left with the beast-eared girl named 'Helo' by Cerberus, he suddenly asked on a whim, "What is your strength in Hell?" β
This time, the left and right heads didn't speak, and only the head in the middle that had just vomited answered.
"In the first sixteen floors, no one is my opponent."
βTimothy Ion. The Cliffs of the Western Continent β
The civil strife in Timothyne's Dark Alliance has come to an end, and the remnants of the radicals are no longer able to make any waves. On the contrary, although the human resistance army has not changed much openly, there are more and more people who secretly support them.
The vampire princess is not in her castle now, but has gone to the abyss, and even Asacher, who has just returned from the crusade against the radicals, does not know what to do.
The Great Demon, who was considered young among the demons, was in the main hall at this time, patiently awaiting the return of his master.
The main hall is not very large, and unlike the living room used to receive guests, it is not open, and there is no need to clean it, everything is taken care of by alchemical items.
Because there are a lot of precious things in it, the collection that was used to store things before has been replaced by a collection called Xiwei. The human males of Adric had set foot on it, and it was no longer a secret, as evidenced by the van Eris Magic Mirror that had disappeared before, so everything that had been stored inside had been moved here.
"Asacher...... Asashel ......"
An eerie, demonic nightmare voice rang in Asacher's ears.
But he just closed his eyes and ignored the creepy voice.
"Asacher...... Asashel ......"
The voice continued, but the young archdemon still ignored it.
He knew where the voice came from. It was a long-necked flask, and the flask contained a black orb, and the orb was wrapped in a layer of colored particles that made up organs such as hands and feet, and were struggling to escape from it. It's just that the beaker is obviously mixed with some strange magic, and no matter how hard the black ball tries, it can't escape from it.
If you want to classify the things in the main hall into precious grades, the top one is precisely the black dome jade in this long-necked flask.
"Asacher...... Asashel ......"
"You're enough!" The grumpy demon stood up and kicked the priceless chair before turning away. Anyway, when the vampire princess returns, there will be violent fluctuations in mana. Come back and greet you then. Otherwise, listen to this thing calling his name again. He felt like he was going to go crazy sooner or later.
"I know what you're thinking...... But she won't accept you...... Won't ......"
As he walked past the flask, the eerie voice finally changed, into an eerie tone that made Asacher's body tremble.
"Shut up! You goddamn monster! Shut up! β
He turned and snarled at the flask.
No one else will come here anyway.
The horned girl who is still leading the army to fight against the rebels will not, and the people in the castle will not. Those who are afraid of Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia. Neither will those who are afraid of Assachel.
That's why he was able to take off his usual disguise. Yelling at a flask like a rude human farmer - even if the contents of the flask are of extraordinary value.
"The person she cares about most right now isn't you...... She doesn't like you...... She doesn't have you in her eyes at all......"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! If you go on, I'll ......."
"What do you want...... Drop me......"
Asacher was stunned when he said this, and said in his heart: Yes. Even if the thing continued, he couldn't stop it. What else should I do? Drop the flask and set it free? Kidding, this is something that even the amazing boy in the human race managed to get with all his might.
Unless he was kicked in the head by a tooth, he would do such a brainless thing.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Asacher gritted his teeth and wanted to leave, but the voice seemed so magical that he couldn't even turn around.
"You have a chance...... Stronger, stronger than that human...... Let her know how powerful and powerful you are...... Only then will she look at you squarely......"
Getting stronger? Asacher sneered with disdain on his face.
It's easy to say, there are many people in this world who are desperately working every day in order to become stronger, but in fact, there are only a few who can succeed.
Even Asacher himself, the last time he returned to the River Styx, he spent a lot of time and experience killing a monster with similar strength to him, and although he gained a lot, he still did not improve in terms of strength.
"You've done it...... Just a little bit of help...... You'll be able to gain more power than you ever thought possible......"
"After all, it's for myself, huh, do you think I'm going to take the bait so easily?"
"You don't have the strength right now...... Without strength, there is nothing...... Why should you hesitate...... When you're strong enough...... Even she's just your vassal......"
"You just talk to yourself!"
Asacher finally turned around and walked briskly towards the door.
"Sooner or later...... You'll come back to me......"
And after walking out of the room and locking the door, Asacher leaned his back against the wall, looked at the dark ceiling, and muttered to himself, "Strength." β
- Morag. Adric College β
"What's going on under the Mochel Lassi River? Why would you be so alarmed to let the students come back quickly? β
In the dean's room, Sophia asked the old god in Sivi.
Not long ago, when another Siwei entered the barrier at the bed of the Mohs Lasi River, he didn't know what happened to the road, but he knew that at that time, he told the students to flee back to the academy quickly, and then the west of the road, who was temporarily staying in the college, immediately issued a second order, telling all the students to go out and evacuate the residents of Morag as soon as possible in the name of poison gas leakage. At the same time, a Level 3 Hazard Alert sign appeared on the student ID card of all people.
It was Edric's code words, signaling them to prepare for a fierce battle.
It wasn't until just now that Sivi had access to the commands and alarm signs that allowed all the students to stop.
Sophia, on the other hand, had been running around the streets before, helping the students to persuade and explain to the residents, and promising them a certain amount of compensation in the name of the professor.
After returning to Edric until Sivi lifted the alarm, she didn't care about resting and went straight to the dean's office to ask Sivi what was going on.
"Don't worry, soon you'll see the culprit of this incident."
Sivi smiled and soothed her, telling her to wait a moment.
It didn't take long for a crack to appear in the space, and another Sivi came out of it.
But what made Sophia almost squirt out of tea was that a little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, short in height, with animal ears and tail of the same color as her hair, hung on the body of Sivi like a sloth.
And that Sivi had a wry smile on his face.
"What's going on?" Sophia rubbed her temples and asked Sivi with a blank face, "I need an explanation." β
Knowing that this was a precursor to the girl's anger, Xiwei could only focus on what he had just done as soon as possible, and of course he saved a lot of things...... Like the hellish plane or something.
It's not that Xiwei can't believe in Sophia, but this kind of thing, even if he knows the Tao, it will only increase his troubles, and it is better to keep it in his heart.
"In other words, this kid is a clone of the three-headed dog of hell, and he was with you in order to understand the current situation in the world?"
Sophia asked with a little headache, "How can there be such a ridiculous thing?" β
"I think you should ask the god of fate about this."
Sivi shrugged his shoulders and replied with an extremely innocent expression.
"Okay, well, sooner or later I'll have a good talk with the god of fate. Before that, let me ask, Sivi, are you really not pedophilic? Sophia sighed, then asked with her eyes half-open. The tone sounded very unpleasant.
"Absolutely."
Sivi said, touching his chest.
"Then why are you still holding her?" Sophia looked at Helo, who was still hanging on Sivi's body, and the corners of her eyes jumped, if it was in the comics, she would have cross-shaped green tendons on her forehead.
"Superficial human beings, concubines, this is replenishing the power of hell."
Unexpectedly, the little girl who had been silent since just now suddenly turned her face back and said with a sense of superiority: "Stupid humans can't understand it! β
"Well, I'm human too......" Sivi interjected with a wry smile.
"But you have signed an equal contract with the body of the concubine, and the body of the concubine can use you as a channel to absorb the amount of power supplied by the body, and the more power you reserve, the stronger the body of the concubine."
Helo looked up at Sivi with a small face, and the ears on his head were still shaking, which made Sivi have an inappropriately cute expression on his face.
"Although I don't know what the strength of the Hell Dao is, but it is definitely not a good thing from the name, the quality of our academy is complicated enough, please don't continue to add negative impressions to us!"
Sophia hugged Hero and tried to pull her off Sivi, but the girl hugged Sivi like a koala, and no matter how hard Sophia tried, she wouldn't let go.
And then the one who made the situation even more chaotic came......
"Old, teacher...... The kid ......" Alice knocked off the tray with the teapot and cup in her hand with a clatter, and pointed to Helo on Sivi's body with a trembling hand, "Are you with those orc girls...... Love, the crystallization of love! β
"No, humans and orcs are reproductively separated." Sivi replied earnestly.
"That's not the problem!" (To be continued......)
