Chapter 212: Nezumi
Shepard didn't care about the fleeing cultists, he casually stuck his big sword on the ground, and walked to the altar with a step, he didn't worry about someone stealing it, not to mention the heavy weight of the two-handed sword and the height of others, the positive energy and order power contained on it were not something that those cultists who believed in the abyss of chaos could touch.
The leader of the cult who was nailed to the pillar still had his last breath, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and Shepard sneered, "Since he is not dead, it is great. ”
With a bang, the head of the cultist leader was blasted with a punch, Shepard released his fist and grabbed it, and the black twisted soul was then extracted from the body, and before the abyss could attract the polluted soul away, he opened the vortex and threw the corrupted soul into it, and Apche would place the filthy soul in the flames of the underworld and calcine it to nothingness as punishment.
Dealing with the leader of the cult, he turned his head to look at the corpses on the ground, and sighed helplessly, the sacrificed girl even had her soul ingested into the altar, if the altar was destroyed, then the souls of these vain dead people would also be destroyed, but he had to do it, but before that, there were still two surviving girls who needed to be rescued.
Waving his hand to break the [Human Confinement Technique] on the girl's body, the girls who survived the catastrophe couldn't help crying bitterly, venting the fear and despair in their hearts to their heart's content, tears couldn't stop flowing out of their eyes, Shepard didn't bother them when he saw this, only let them cry to their heart's content.
After a long time, the two girls stood up with each other's arms, walked up to Shepard and thanked her, and the half-elf girl's voice was still choked: "Warrior, thank you for saving us......"
Shepard looked at the two, the human girl is just a human girl, the half-elf girl may be because of the half-blood, she has the special temperament of the elves of the old continent who are close to nature, and her appearance is quite sweet, he shook his head and said: "It's nothing, what's your name?" ”
The half-elf girl said, "My name is Qiu Lixi," and the human girl also said, "My name is Mia." ”
Shepard nodded and was just about to speak, when he suddenly looked down at the altar, and then said to the girls: "Qiulisi, Mia, you go down first, find a place to hide, I don't tell you not to come out." ”
The two girls were startled and hurriedly ran down the altar in a panic, and Shepard watched the two go away, and also took a few steps back from the altar, looking up at the tall blasphemous column.
At this time, the pillar had begun to shake slightly, and the blood in the lines on the ground flowed along the pillar like a living thing, and streams of blood gathered around the pillar, converging into a huge eye-like rune.
The blood in the eyes composed of blood was still flowing, and gradually the deep luster filled the gap between the blood flows, and the ghostly eyes appeared in front of him, the light flickered for a moment, and a deep voice sounded: "Who is it...... Summoning the Great Lord of the Corrupt and Swamp......"
Shepard's eyes flickered, the unfinished ritual actually got a response, it seemed that something was wrong, and the presence of this voice seemed to be a little weaker, his eyes rolled, and he replied in a respectful voice: "Lord of Corruption, Lord of the Swamp, you ......" He looked at the corpse of the cultist who was not yet cold on the ground: "Your humble believers sacrifice blood and souls in exchange for your pleasure. ”
Wild laughter sounded from his eyes: "I tasted, ah, sweet blood!" And the taste of virginity! This fragrance of the soul fascinates me...... But why didn't the soul reach my table?! Why! Are you deceiving the great lord, I will let you die and rot in the swamp! ”
The doubts in Shepard's heart intensified, and he continued to respectfully, "Great Lord, this ...... We don't know why the feast for you can't make you imagine......"
The deep voice on the other end paused, and said helplessly: "You fools and waste...... Get out of the way! I will have my messenger retrieve your sacrifices for me!" ”
Shepard retreated, quietly watching the ghost light on the eyes get brighter and brighter, obviously the existence on the other end has increased the investment of power, the gurgling sound of blood flowing is extremely clear, the ghost light shines like an activated magic array, after a while, a portal that is no more than a meter long opens, and a slimy tentacle monster is scared from the portal, this thing is about the same length as an octopus, but the size is about the same as a human, and a loud voice sounded in the viscous body: "Humble baba!" Not yet kneel before the messenger of the Great Lord! ”
Shepard suddenly laughed: "You have stepped into the main plane so boldly, not even at the epic level, who gave you the courage to step into this strange place?" ”
The viscous octopus-like monster trembled, and its voice seemed to be extremely atmospheric: "Paddle! Humble humans! You are rude to the messenger! The Lord will make you rot and wail in the swamp! ”
Shepard didn't bother to talk nonsense with it, waved his hand, and his fingertips flew out of the flame rope as thick as a forearm, wrapping the octopus in the blink of an eye, the mucus on the octopus's body was roasted by the flames, and it was quickly dried, and the mucus-wrapped skin dried and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the octopus immediately screamed.
Shepard laughed and said, "Lucky fool, I don't know what kind of shit luck you have taken to let these scum take you as an object of worship, but your good days are over, repent in the flames." ”
The octopus screamed as it was burned, and as the flames grew hotter, its originally loud voice turned into a wail, and at this time it shouted: "You have hurt the Great Messenger, and the wrath of the God of Killing will come upon you!" ”
"God of Killing?" Shepard's face changed, he grabbed the octopus with a move of his hand, tore off the skull, and did not hesitate to consume divine power to torture the fallen soul of the octopus, and said sharply: "Say!" Where did you know that?! ”
The power of transcendent divine power and the power of the rules broke the octopus's fragile will in an instant, allowing the wailing nether creature to tell everything it knew without concealment.
"I am the servant of the great Son of Slaughter......"
"Although the resurrection of the God of Killing has failed, there is still one heir left in the abyss...... The master said that the god of tyranny had returned, and he must hurry up......"
“…… These are the believers of the master...... The master killed the demon lord of the 639th floor of the abyss, the king of the corrupt swamp, these were originally the followers of the slime monster......"
“…… The master was discovered, and many demons were hunting him down, but I was the only one who stayed behind to continue to gather these beliefs...... I can also secretly strengthen myself......"
Burst.
The useless octopus was tossed haphazardly into the fire, encased in flames along with its still-burning wreckage, while Shepard looked up at the mark of the god of killing hidden in the twisted runes on the pillar.
"If not preconceived...... Even I ignored the mark, it seems that this Son of Slaughter is very extraordinary, maybe it is another Son of the Plot. ”
"The god of tyranny has returned to the throne for more than a hundred years, Mirko has completely fallen, I originally thought that Baal would have been cold for a long time, but I didn't expect that there are still remnants of blood, this last one can really endure and live, and has been in the abyss for hundreds of years without being discovered, nor has he died in an accident."
Shepard turned around and walked to the edge of the altar, looked at the space hidden underground, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that this cult has become active because of the guidance of the Son of Killing...... Killing the demon lord to seize territory, and using chickens and eggs to expand his influence, whether it is combat power or thinking, it can be called outstanding. ”
Shepard stepped down from the altar step by step, thinking as he walked: "Find an opportunity to reveal the news to the Church of the Gods, as for them to take care of it, it's not my business, I originally thought it was just a small cult to help them destroy it, but I didn't expect to fish out a big fish, this guy is so gloomy, it is impossible to only do it at Baldur's Gate, since those watchers are willing to clean up, then I can also set off as soon as possible." ”
"Hah! I'd love to see the god of killing come back to life, what would be the reaction of the gods of the Old World, indulging demons and demons to develop human believers, don't I understand? Isn't it that the churches below want to extort benefits from this, and the gods can also use this to make the believers more religious, this method is too bad, I am waiting to see the day when you can play it, don't let me down. ”
After stepping down from the altar, he didn't see the two surviving girls, and Shepard didn't pay much attention to it, so he casually found a direction and left here.
……
The sound of treading water was far and near in the sewers, and the figure of a panicked girl smeared forward in the darkness, occasionally passing by a place where the sky could shine, and a little light fell on the face, revealing a sweet and lovely, somewhat elven face, which was the half-elf girl who disappeared around the altar.
Hearing the sound of Suo Suo approaching from the darkness behind her, the half-elf girl Qiu Lixi crawled forward in a panic, even forgetting the filth and stench of the sewers.
Not long after the girl's figure left, a rickety figure passed through the darkness, and by the light of the sky, it was a humanoid creature like a mouse.
……
"What sound?"
Shepard, who was looking for an exit in the sewer, suddenly turned his head, and looked to the right at a passage that was nearly half flooded by sewage, and there were three forks at the end of the passage in the dark vision, and at this time, there was a burst of sound from the fork, staring for a while, an emaciated figure suddenly pounced out, snapped and fell to the ground, and then stumbled into the sewage, so as to be submerged by the sewage.
A strange cry was faintly heard, and the emaciated figure groped its way forward in the darkness, and its body trembled at a visible amplitude for fear or fear.
A bright light appeared out of thin air, and with a light source, the girl who was not in the water blinked her eyes blankly, and then ran towards her side like a frightened rabbit, shouting as she ran: "Help! There are rat people chasing me, and there are a lot of rat people...... Help me! ”
What made the girl desperate was that the figure stood there in such a daze, neither approaching nor retreating, as if she was scared silly, and the voices of the rats behind her became louder and louder, and the girl who finally escaped death today experienced the most escape from death in her life, and at this moment it feels as if she has used up all her luck, but before the last moment comes, there is still a light of hope in her eyes.
