Chapter 170: Choice
Almost as soon as Cremar's first spell took effect, Kerryben and the more perceptive priest sensed the loosening of the barrier, and by the time the couple who had been forcibly matched together had unanimously decided to part painfully because of the second mage, they had been able to pinpoint the source of the screams and fires—the essence of the structure torn by the Obligar from the shadow plane shaking unpleasantly— It is part of the Shadow Plane, like a small piece knocked down from a huge magnet, the Shadow Plane has always pulled it, and it itself longs to become one again with the split Being, and if it were not controlled by the Obligation, it should have disappeared from the main material plane on the sixth day of its birth, like those otherworldly vortices that arise from the shadow plane and connect to the main material plane.
Now the power that shackles it has somehow weakened, and the cry of the plane far exceeds the attraction of the main material plane towards it, and it is like a pompous, naïve and naïve playboy by nature, leaving behind the tree monster and running to the arms of "mother" without any nostalgia.
With the departure of the shadow essence, the gloomy mansion was restored to its original state, the sun shining into the room, although the air was not so fresh, but walking in it could feel a cool breeze blowing through its cheeks, some of the shadow creatures that had just been dragged in here timidly jumped into the place still covered in black shadows, and some of the more evil creatures, like a hellcat who was confronting Kerriben, were frightened by the blinding sunlight that suddenly poured down on it, and it literally jumped high, its silver-gray body hair standing up like a crossbow arrow, in a roar of rage, pounced on the most vulnerable of the men—the Reverend Ilmort who had lost Gavin.
Instead of flinching or panicking as Hellcat had hoped, the young priest rushed forward with courage and determination, clutching his hammer as they slammed into each other. The light of magic shrouded them brighter than the sun, and the hellcat hissed and screamed, the stinger in its tail making deep marks on the hard stone ground—while the priest of Ilmot prayed aloud as he kept striking its head with his hammer wrapped in adamantite gold.
The Hellcat squealed in chagrin and twisted its body—it resembled the cats of the other plane and its own plane that loved to enslave human servants, only ten times their size, its silver-gray fur shiny and silky, and its steel-like muscles burst out with a force that even orcs might not be able to resist, and that it was now used to escape. The young priest of Ilmot felt only to be pushed away by a tremendous force, and his hand was empty, and the hammer fell to the ground, smashing a precious alabaster.
Kerribben's arrows caught up with the evil creature, and it wailed into the darkness, its dripping blood seeping into the white marble floor, and soon seeping into it, forming a dark brown stain that a priest tried to wipe with his foot. They found that it was like the original pattern of the stone, and it did not move at all - they decided to leave it alone for the time being, anyway, when the devil was expelled, the mansion would definitely be completely purified. Maybe they'll be burned down.
A priest from Cranvo stepped forward to examine the young priest's wounds, and he was not unharmed, the sharp claws of the Hellcat scratched his face, one of which was only a finger's width to destroy one of his eyes. And the underside of his chest, near his heart, was scratched by its powerful hind legs. The flesh was turned open, revealing Bai Sensen's ribs and tender entrails wrapped in a membrane—the priest of Kranvo bowed his head in silent prayer and cast a powerful healing spell.
Kerry had opened a closed door by this time, and as soon as it opened, a fishy smell that would make even the filthiest orc hide his nose greeted him, and the Ranger immediately closed it, but the hallway was already filled with the disgusting smell.
What's inside?' Creanvo priest asked in silence.
The Chapel in Tampas, where the armor and weapons of warriors were on display, but had been contaminated, and the elves replied in simple sign language—in fact, the elves' keen vision allowed him to see a lot, and out of hatred for the family's ancestors, the devil not only destroyed the temple, weapons, and armor, but also smeared the entire room with the blood of his descendants— Two limbless female bodies were nailed to the center of the altar, a sharp sword broken in half pierced into their lower halves, their chests cut open, and all their entrails were dug out and replaced by a litter of white maggots.
The devil also deliberately placed a precious fluorite on their foreheads to illuminate their faces, and what made people frightened was that there was no fear or pain on those two faces, but with a strange smile.
The elf quickly tried several more rooms, and finally found a small room that had been used for storage, full of abandoned furniture, very cramped, perhaps because of this, it was not occupied by the devil and those who had been confused by her, they killed several giant insects in the shadow plane that had gathered here, and Kerry opened a dusty curtain and spread it on a chair, "We will get back to you soon." He promised.
The young Reverend Ilmut nodded, his wounds were all healed, but he could feel a sharp stinging in his abdomen and face with every step he took, unable to move quickly or speak coherently, he knew very well that it would only be a burden for him to follow them any longer, so he did not object to the Elven Ranger's arrangement, but sat down peacefully with the help of Reverend Cranvo.
Priest Cranvo gave him several scrolls for defense and healing, as well as a slender whistle that the followers of the god of death would use to summon crows, the whistle made a sound that was inaudible to ordinary people, but the priests and elves of Cranvo could hear it, and if he was in danger, blowing the whistle would get help, and those defensive scrolls were enough to support him until they arrived.
The young Reverend Ilmoth was still a little frightened when the door was discreetly closed again, he had heard many terrible stories about the devil from his traveling brothers, and it was not so uncommon for the devil to give priority to those who could not be left alone for various reasons, but he could not ask them to separate one to accompany him, because now that he was gone, there were only two Clänvo priests and elven rangers left in the team, and they did not know how many vicious and cruel monsters they had to face.
He would even feel anxious when they weren't leaving. Fearing that the delay in his wounds would put his brothers and companions in a fatal predicament, and as they departed, he could not control the thought of their company, and the room was very quiet, and the remains of the great worms were in the corner of the side, and the elves burned them to ashes to prevent them from coming back to life, and the smell they emitted was not strong, but cold as if it could penetrate into your bone marrow, the priest shivered, and wrapped himself in a curtain— A ray of sunlight shone in through the barred window. Looking warm, he cautiously moved over, the warm and bright light made him feel much more at ease.
He sat like this, almost drowsy, and when a loud bang woke him up, he almost broke the scroll in his hand.
But then he heard his name called out with joy, though it became a little staccato by because he was still coughing—and the young Reverend Ilmort could immediately hear that it was another older brother's voice.
"Why are you here?" asked Pastor Ilmot, who was forced to form a group with the thieves, "-are you hurt?"
"Yes," said the young priest happily, "has been treated—but not yet able to act, at least not to join the fight." ”
"Did you find Gavin?" his brother asked.
"We saw the flames. The cry was heard," said the young priest, "it was from the atrium, but I don't know if Gavin was there." ”
"Even if he's not there," Gülen said, "he'll go there—it's back to normal." I don't think the priest of Ilmort would have fallen into such a way as to get lost in a mansion with only fifteen rooms. Of course, if he hadn't been killed by the endless stream of monsters, the thief added in his heart.
The older priest glanced at the thief: "...... I must get there too—" he hesitated, "will you stay? and take care of my brother, and if we are going to face a devil, then a mortal can hardly do anything...... I'm sorry. I don't mean to take it lightly, but you know, there are gaps that can't be bridged with skill and experience. ”
Gülen had been thinking about this since the beginning. He wasn't a mage, he wasn't a priest, was he really going to face a devil? He felt that he had done a good job - he didn't run far, he stepped into this dangerous place with them, and he saved a priest of Ilmot.
But he, too, had fought a half-dragon mongrel, and had secured a valuable loot for himself - Cremar had only taken a spell book from the dimensional bag, and the rest had been given to the thieves—expensive gems and shiny gold coins.
The only person in this forced team who would give a false word to the thief Gülen was probably the dark-haired half-elf mage, Gülen didn't know what had won his favor, but he knew that the mage was not the kind of good old man who was willing to put up with a fool or a coward, he was just a seemingly kind, but in fact more ruthless than any of them.
Useless things are discarded. (To be continued......)
