Chapter 54: The Lost Aidan

Diablo was not angry for long after being sealed, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Aidan's actions not only did not make the seal very strong, but gave him the opportunity to erode Aidan's will. Diablo was creating all sorts of nightmares for Aidan every day, and this powerful warrior thought he could subdue the Dreadlord with his will, but he still underestimated Diablo too much. It didn't take long for Aidan to become delirious after the nightmares, and he only vaguely remembered that he had to go to the East, where his brother was still alive, and he had long forgotten that it was his brother's corpse that was revealed when Diablo was defeated.

Diablo took advantage of the hollowness in Aidan's heart, induced him to gradually lose himself in the pain and unwillingness of losing his loved ones, and instilled in him the will to go to the East. As everyone knows, there are no relatives of Aidan in the East, and some are just Diablo's brothers.

Along the way, Aidan, or Diablo, did not walk fast, he knew that Andariel would buy him a lot of time, although those hateful humans were very strong, especially the Liszt who seemed to awaken the power of Nephiten, but Andariel had great power, she was the best at mental torture among all the demon kings, although she was a demon king, but not much weaker than Diablo and these demon gods. For his former lover, Diablo is still very relieved. Now Diablo is not thinking about rescuing his brother quickly, he is thinking about the battle not long ago, in that battle, although his strength is only seven or eight points, but he was completely suppressed by Liszt, who finally broke out his strength, and he has no power to fight back at all, which is a point that shocks him very much. Although he and his brother discovered that humans possess incredible power in the War of Original Sin a long time ago, even the Triune Cult they controlled at that time was uprooted by a human named Udisian, so that the Cult of God that fought against the Cathedral of Light has gradually been forgotten. Diablo was deeply jealous of the immense power hidden in humanity, and he knew that even if he freed all his brothers and gathered the armies of hell, he would not necessarily be able to resist this power! After all, in the human world, demons are still subject to the World Stone. And thinking of the kind of desperate power that destroyed the world, Diablo didn't dare to say that he was sure to win the battle in his heyday.

Therefore, Diablo prepared a two-handed plan. One is to rescue his brother first, and then gather the legions of hell to attack this human world, and preferably corrupt the world stone, so that the demons can exert their strongest power. The second is that after everything else has failed, he intends to use his minions to secretly implement another set of his plans, as long as the plan succeeds, Diablo believes, then both the earth and the higher heavens will be destroyed in his anger!

In the evening of this day, Aidan came to a ronin camp on the other side of the Taimo Mountains, his figure was hidden deep in the dark robes, and his once strong palms were slightly exposed in the sleeves, but now, he dragged his long sword weakly, rubbing the blade on the ground against the ground, making a piercing wail, in this quiet night, attracting the attention of many ronin.

Aidan felt too tired, and he needed a drink of ale to get some rest. He had a feeling that he might not be able to suppress the hateful King of Fear. The strangely dressed Aidan attracted the attention of many people in the tavern, and the originally noisy voice gradually lowered, and people looked at this strange stranger who exuded an ominous atmosphere, and they didn't know why, they were a little worried.

Aidan sat down in the corner, he didn't have time to pay attention to the suspicious gazes around him, he was almost unable to hold on, he felt his body begin to lose control, even the hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble, a strange feeling emerged from his heart, as if his soul was being repelled by his body, as if he was no longer the owner of this body.

On the side, Hans, who was originally a little surprised, saw that this strange stranger began to tremble, thinking that he had some strange disease, so that he was sneaky and did not let people see his miserable appearance, he couldn't help but relax, and began to laugh: "Look at that guy, he must have some terminal illness and become an ugly monster!" Otherwise, hide your head and don't show up, hahahaha, I said that guy over there, let's see what you look like, and let's have some fun too, how about it? With that, Hans began to laugh again, despite the dissuasion in the eyes of his companions.

Aidan could no longer feel all the sounds and images of the outside world, he struggled against the demon's will, but his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and he now regretted that he should not have taken such a risk in the first place, so that now Diablo might reappear in his body. Slowly, Aidan could no longer feel his right hand, as if he had never grown it, and the sword in his hand was thrown aside, and Aidan fell to his knees in pain, as if struggling with pain. Hans was even happier by Adam's misery, and while laughing, he pointed to Aidan on his knees to his companions and said, "Look! That poor ghost, hahahaha, he's going to be finished......"

Before Hans could finish speaking, Aidan slammed to his feet, raised his hand and knocked over the table in front of him, shattering the wine glass on it. Hans and the others on the side thought that they had provoked this stranger, and they hurriedly silenced him, and even Hans, who was laughing wantonly, looked at this strange man who exuded a cold aura, and put away the smile on his face with some fear.

But, to everyone's surprise, Aidan did not take revenge on Hans, and he raised his head in pain, revealing a distorted face that had been covered by the hood, and let out a miserable wail. His soul was expelled from his body, suspended in the air, and countless rays of light shot out of his body, knocking over the charcoal-burning brazier, and then, to everyone's horror, a scene that terrified everyone - terrifying demons began to emerge from the burning flames, as if in response to someone's call, and the burning skeleton also brandished its bone sword and began to slaughter the people of the tavern. Hans hurriedly drew his sword from his waist and jumped onto the table, engaging the skeletons, while the others, some rebelling against the demon's tyranny, most were panicking and trying to escape. But the burning flames blocked all the way out. Soon, almost all the people who had nowhere to flee were killed by the demons, including Hans, who had just been mocking Aidan wantonly, also fell under the skull's sword. However, at this time, Aidan seemed to regain control of his body, and his soul began to return, and with it, those strange lights began to return to Aidan's body, and all the demons began to gradually disappear in the flames and return to their burning hell. Eventually, Aidan stopped struggling as if nothing had happened, only the raging flames and the corpses of the people, silently telling of the terrible things.

In this tavern, there is also a living man, Mariov. He had been lying in the corner, watching it all in horror. Marlouf had fled here from Tristram, where he had seen terrible demons emerge from the depths of the church, wantonly killing his friends and loved ones. Since then, the demon has been his nightmare every night, tormenting him. He didn't know why these demons, who tortured him every day and every night in his dreams, followed him here and didn't let him go, and if he continued like this, he felt like he would fall into madness.

Under Marlof's frightened and bewildered gaze, Aidan slowly turned sideways, gently called his name, beckoned to him, and began to turn and walk towards the outside of the tavern. The burning flames seemed to actively avoid him, and did not affect him in any way. Looking at this strange and terrible person, Marlov didn't know why, and involuntarily took a step and responded to Aidan's call. He wanted to follow this weird man, even though there didn't seem to be any reason to do so. But what Marlouf didn't know was that the rest of the year would be a hellish trip that would torment him for the rest of his life.
