Chapter 16: The Projection from the Void

Like the Domon he encountered at the temple before? Like Cardo, according to the setting of "Eternity", "demons" are creatures that are taboo in the human world, humanoid sisters, and the undead world, and they believe in evil gods and are born synonymous with chaos and destruction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Therefore, even in the holy war period of ancient times, no one in the hostile human and undead camps threw an olive branch to the demons, and it can even be said that the two sides worked together to drive the demons out of this world.

Against this backdrop, the demon species are definitely quite rare in the entire world of Eternity - even if, according to the Vortex of Roots, the demons will have a relatively active period in the last few expansions, but right now, it's definitely not the time for them to appear.

Because of this, the necromancers didn't expect that they had just entered the cave where the snow spiders were entrenched, and the "Demon Creature Detection Force Field" attached before would directly trigger the alarm!

… Could it be that these snow spiders blocking the way to the cross hill are also devil's tricks? If this is the case, then the exploration of the Mostima Abyss will probably be very difficult.

- Putting aside the current swarm that could overwhelm everyone at any time, the existence of the "demon" itself is an insurmountable mountain for players with an average level of more than 30!

Think about it, Domon at the bottom of the Moria Mine? Cardo only had a remnant soul left, occupying the body of the giant spider to survive, but even so, when the rain was cold, the yellow sky was falling, and the entire elite team faced this monster, they could only choose to use the power of the "Thunder Mark" and the convenience of the second layer portal of the abyss to achieve the results.

Now that the staffing has been changed to second-tier teammates like Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart, what are their chances of winning if they suddenly encounter a real demon in the cave at this moment? The answer to this question should be very clear even if you think about it on your toes...

So, to choose a retreat?

Careful consideration of Yu Ruhan's failure to give the order at the first time to detect the effect of the magic actually reflected his hesitation, according to his previous character, if it was obvious that something could not be done, it was his style to turn around and leave, but the current changes were different.

The reason is also very simple, seeing that the seal against the demons has not been broken, and the demons that can appear in the abyss at this stage are extremely rare. This thing, from the bent over the giant spider of Domon? It is evident that Cardo can be called the "Demon Orphan", and in this case, the possibility that they will encounter demons in the Mostima Abyss before the relevant plot is activated has been invisibly reduced.

Taking a step back, even if the two sides really had an encounter here, then the demons that appeared would probably not be in their heyday - the abyss's hatred of demons had already been seen when they first entered the second layer of the Aazazel Abyss, so it was really hard to imagine that there would be a fish that had slipped through the net of the holy war to run rampant here.

Finally, and most importantly, while the "Demon Creature Detection Field" does give a response, the "Shadow of Death", a key transfer item for the deceased that Yu Yuhan has been carrying, has not changed at all.

This item, which originally resembled a claw demon head, was obviously the work of a demon, and it was even able to block the breath and help Yu Yuhan to sneak into the cross mound safely at a lower level, but even such a precious magic item did not react to the demonic creatures that were close at hand, which was undoubtedly very abnormal.

… In the blink of an eye, when all these thoughts turned in the necromancer's mind, his gaze became firm again, and even, because of the appearance of this demon-like creature, Yu Zhihan's exploration of the snow spider's lair had a new eyebrow.

- Magic tricks? Constant light source!

As a magic trick that doesn't count towards the skill list, the mage who had only learned it through the Red Crusader trade with a scroll didn't hesitate to raise the Spiral Staff of Annihilation and launch a dazzling spherical light source to the top of the tunnel... In the blink of an eye, the expansion of the field of vision made the people who had gone deep into the snow spider's lair more clearly distinguish the situation in front of them.

Putting aside the insect carcasses and excrement that covered the ground, a terrifying and bloody sacrificial mural on the rock wall of the cave ** that was slightly wider than the entrance and entwined with cobwebs immediately attracted the attention of all players.

… Yu Zhihan is just a professional gamer, and he can't appreciate the deep meaning of this lifelike mural from an artistic level, so he focuses more on the content of the picture depiction and expression than on the amazement.

To put it simply, it is clear that the description is a ritual for summoning!

The Elder Warlock, who possessed forbidden knowledge, offered a flesh and blood sacrifice to an existence in the void in an attempt to summon him to a world known to everyone, but in the process, the summoned circle seemed to have some unexpected change, and instead of the target he originally expected to recruit, the summoner was used by a demon hidden in the dog-headed hawk's beak, giving him a chance to escape.

… At this point, it seems that the rain and cold can finally connect the whole story.

Obviously, the ancient warlock with the ability to summon other creatures from the void is no ordinary mage, whether the character in the mural is the high-level dead man "Gordon" thousands of years ago, or this is just a relic found by Gordon, the only thing that is certain is that the "research project" of "Void Summoning" must be inseparable from this "lone star" The dead man, or rather, this is part of his magical research.

Combined with the demonic storyline in the mural, it's no surprise that the detection field against the demonic creature reacts here.

Of course, the answer to all these questions about how Gordon ended up and whether the demon was really summoned to this world is not only vague in "The Vortex of Roots", but even the mural in front of him is not explained through the mural...

Instead, at the end of the eerie frescoes, in a depression in the middle of the cavernous passage, was a clearly polished circular altar.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized that after the previous insect war, the corpses of these monsters were arranged a little strangely-the twisted stumps seemed to be forcibly fused together by some invisible force, and the closer they got to the altar, the more bloody they became, but they couldn't find a trace on the stone platform in the center of the circular altar.

Don't...

Rain into the cold: "All retreat!" ā€

After a series of clues before, the necromancer almost immediately reacted to the true meaning of this, and before he had time to explain, he only had time to remind the members of the Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart, and a dazzling red light immediately emitted from the pure white stone platform!

-- The insects that were slaughtered and the flesh and blood everywhere may have been part of the sacrificial sacrifice, and now, the altar full of blood is finally completing its unfinished mission...

Unknown life is about to descend from the void!
