Chapter 29: The Return of Diablo

"However, hundreds of years have passed, and no demons have crawled out of the monastery, and I have not heard of any adventurers who have found soul stones inside, they are all just legends. Even if there was a demon god sealed there, he wouldn't run out on his own, would he? Kane didn't care, looking at Liszt, who was obviously in shock, he just thought that the child was frightened by the demon god.

"Don't be afraid, kid, the inhabitants of Tristram have lived here for more than two hundred years, some have been eaten by wild beasts, some have been captured by sheep-headed people, but none have been killed by the demon gods. In the past, rumors about the Demon God were popular in Canduras, but in fact, all the adventurers who arrived were disappointed. Kane reassured.

But this time was different. Liszt thought. If Lazarus' target is the legendary Demon God, then perhaps the sealed Lord of Dreads will reappear with the help of Lazarus' hand. Although he was already very strong, Liszt did not feel that his current self could fight against a demon god, even if he did not have the support of the forces of hell.

"Uncle Kane, can I trust you? I need to make sure you're not an accomplice to a cult or a demon. Liszt said solemnly, staring sharply into Kane's eyes.

When Kane heard Liszt say this, he knew that he must have some important secret to tell him, and he was also curious about what this young man from the East knew, so he said solemnly: "If your enemy is a legendary demon, child, you can trust me, because I am the last descendant of Hradim, and I also hope to help people fight against the legendary demon, but at the moment it seems that I have no chance." ”

When Kane spoke, Liszt exerted his mental power to the extreme, monitoring Kane's inner fluctuations. Kane is also a man with magical powers, but he doesn't close his heart. Unless Kane's psychic power far surpasses Liszt's, then in the absence of defense, any fluctuations in his heart cannot escape Liszt's heart.

When Liszt heard that Kane turned out to be the last member of Hradim, and that he had not deceived himself, he decided to tell Kane about the Archbishop and the Church of Curast. He needs Kane's knowledge to fight the darkness that may be coming.

"Uncle Kane, you know, the rest of our team is from Kurast in the East, the capital of Kegistan, where there is also the Sakaram Supreme Council, in the religious capital of Trivank. However, since more than a decade ago, the Supreme Council has become incredibly cruel and xenophobic, and many people have fled from it. You should be able to feel that I have the power of the mind and a sensitivity to any anomaly. This induction has saved me countless times in battle, so I'm convinced. In Kurast, I could feel the whole city exuding an aura of hatred, darkness and despair. And the Archbishop Lazarus from the Supreme Council also made me feel very uncomfortable, and he kept his heart closed all the time. ”

"You may not know that the reason why Tristram was chosen for coming to Canduras to establish the rule of King Leorik this time was the idea of the archbishop. And the reason why we want to rest in the monastery and intend to transform it into a cathedral of light is also proposed by the archbishop. I think his purpose was the monastery. Even he is a servant of the Lord of Fear! This time it's different, Uncle Kane! Just because adventurers can't find Diablo doesn't mean Lazarus can't! ”

Kane was stunned by Liszt's words, he opened his mouth wide in shock, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly rushed to the desk to look through the introduction of the Three Demon Gods that he had read these days, and when he saw the introduction of Mephisto, the King of Hatred, his face turned pale, cold sweat continued to break out, and his hands trembling as he flipped through the book.

Seeing Kane's appearance like this, Liszt also knew that things must have become troublesome, so he hurriedly walked up to Kane and asked, "Uncle Kane!" What did you find? ”

Kane stared blankly at the book on the table, and said in a trembling voice, "It's all true, Hell Demon King, it's coming back!" ”

"Uncle Kane, don't worry, we'll definitely have time to stop Lazarus!" Liszt comforted, "If the King of Dread wants to come back, it won't be so easy!" ”

"You don't understand, child, if it's as you say, why do you think the man who came to save the Lord of Fear came from Kurast?" Kane said with a wry smile.

"I've thought about this too, but I met a Trinitarian cultist south of Kurast before, so it's possible that the church has been corrupted by the cult, right?" Liszt pondered.

"If that's the case, it's fine." Kane sighed and slumped back in his chair, "Don't you wonder where Diablo's brothers, the Lord of Destruction and the Lord of Hate, were sealed?" ”

"What?! Could it be ......" Liszt stood up and stared at Kane, gasping for air.

"The most insidious and cunning of the Three Demon Gods, Mephisto, is sealed in Kurast! And the place where it was sealed was the prison of hatred under the current Cui Fanke! I'm afraid that the reason why the Sakaram Church has an abnormality must be that the King of Hates has corrupted the Holy See. Kane uttered the astonishing truth, "However, since Mephisto chose to send someone to rescue Diablo first, it means that the Hate King cannot escape the seal of the Soul Stone, and he must rely on his brother to liberate him completely. As long as we can stop Diablo, we still have hope! Kane pulled himself together and looked at Liszt and said.

"Then without further ado, let's go and see what Lazarus is doing, and we must not let him release Diablo!" Liszt urged.

With that, the two of them immediately set out and rushed anxiously to the monastery of Hradim.

While Liszt and Kane were still talking, Archbishop Lazarus excused himself and walked into the depths of the monastery.

Lazarus clutched in his hand the dark and translucent bead, which had been given by his master to guide him in the direction of fulfilling the sacred mission that his master had given him. The deeper he went, the more Lazarus could feel that a terrifying aura was spreading, his nerves were paralyzed by fear, and in the darkness, a terrifying whisper was constantly urging him, and all kinds of terrifying visions began to emerge before his eyes. He saw a vicious skeleton come out of the flames, sneering at him with a hideous face, and a prostrate demon crawling out of the ground, looking at him greedily with a bloody mouth.

Lazarus finally reached the end of the monastery, and although he had been destroyed by the boundless fear of his consciousness, the power of terror made him involuntarily do what changed the world.

Step by step, he walked up to the Soul Stone, which emitted a thick darkness, and stretched out his sinful hand......

Liszt and Kane, who hurried to the monastery, found Lazarus' guards and anxiously asked, "Where is the archbishop?" I've got something to look for him! The soldier knew Liszt, an incomparable and powerful man, and knew that his master Lazarus admired him, so he told the truth: "The bishop said that he wanted to wander around the monastery casually, and went in that direction. The soldier pointed out to Liszt and showed them.

Oops! Liszt and Kane looked at each other in panic, Lazarus must have gone to free Diablo! He must be stopped in a hurry! In order to be in a hurry, Liszt could only rush forward as fast as he could, and Kane was too old to follow Liszt's footsteps.

The further he walked inside, the more Liszt could feel a thick darkness and terror condensing, and Liszt could only resist the erosion of the terrifying illusion by using the power of his heart. Liszt took "acceleration" to the extreme, which was originally an explosive technique, but it was used by the anxious Liszt as a means of continuous acceleration, which caused a great burden on Liszt's body, but Liszt couldn't manage it so much, if the King of Fear broke through the seal, no one would be spared!

Finally, Liszt was nearing the end of the monastery, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of himβ€”Lazarus.

Lazarus' hand was held high, as if he were holding a stone that exuded intense fear. "It's a Soul Stone!" Liszt drew his father's bow as fast as he could, directly condensing the power of ice to form an ice arrow, which shot out at great speed.

The ice arrow struck Lazarus' hand, freezing his hand, but before that, he threw the stone to the ground.

No!!! Liszt shouted frantically in his heart, but could not do anything.

The soul stone that fell to the ground was shattered into pieces at once, and an incomparably terrifying force broke free from it, only to see, in the dark smoke, a hideous-looking monster slowly appeared, his evil head had twisted horns on both sides, five pairs of sharp barbs on his red back, and a long tail behind him, and his body was full of strong protruding muscles. As soon as he stepped on his iron hooves, the ground began to tremble. The evil breath he exhaled corroded the walls.

In the darkness, a terrifying roar roared! "I, Lord of Fear, are back!"
