Chapter 60: The Devil's Trail
The wind howled, and the icy north wind blew Fianna's long hair into a hunting sound. She opened her small mouth and struggled to spit out a large mouthful of white mist.
Despite the magic of "Resist the Cold", the nights in the Northland were still bitterly cold, especially when she rode on a giant beast like the Ferocious Lion.
The ferocious lion flies on all fours and runs very fast. The huge wind gang scratched Fianna's skin with a trace of blood.
"Nana, are you alright?" asked Zod, who was sitting on the head of a ferocious lion.
"Ah, it's cold! when are we there?" asked Fianna, shuddering.
"Well, it's almost there. The Ferocious Lion will follow the cursed aura to find the caster, which should be just ahead. ”
With Zode's words, the ferocious lion stopped outside a dense forest.
This is the outer edge of the Yongge Forest, surrounded by a sea of reckless forests, and there are almost no people in sight. And right here, a lonely old house was built here.
"Here...... I feel like I've been here before. Fianna seemed to remember something when she saw the dilapidated house in front of her.
"By the way, this is Uncle Daniel's cabin in the woods. I remember coming here when I was a kid......"
"Oh, so you know him, huh?"
"No, Uncle Daniel is a very withdrawn man, he never gets close to people, and even his people don't want to communicate with them. He built this cabin in the woods here alone, refusing to have contact with everyone...... As a child, I was still encouraged by my companions to come and take risks......" Fianna recalled.
"Oh, a withdrawn and dark human. I seem to smell blasphemy. ”
This cabin in the woods is not large, and you can see all of it from the rough windows. Although it was dark in the house, it couldn't stop the cats' eyes.
Zuo De saw that it was a mess of household garbage, and on the floor in the middle of the room, a large five-pointed star circle was lit with low candles.
An old man with gray hair was bowing his head and slashing his wrist with a dagger. Blood spurted and splattered into the circle, only to disappear as if it had been swallowed by it.
Devil's Pact Ritual!
Zode quickly recognized the true face of this strange circle. He wasn't interested in the old man, but he was much more interested in the summoned devil.
If there is any evil creature in the world of Astor that can compete with demons, it is undoubtedly the demons in the six layers of hell.
Legend has it that the original devil also originated from the abyss. But ever since the Devil Monarch Asmodeus tore through the abyss and established Hades in the midst of chaos, an endless war between the devil and the devil began.
In fact, with the exception of the core level of the Hell "Nether Heart", the other five layers of Hell were all torn from the abyss. These five super planes originally belonged to the Abyss, and countless demon lords were born in them, and there were even demon princes. However, the Devil Monarch led his invincible army of demons to slay all the demons inside, shaking the foundation stones of the plane, stripping them out of the abyss and anchoring them in the underworld.
Three hundred years ago, the eighth layer of the Abyss, the "Desperate Wilderness", was occupied by the devils and became their sixth layer of the Hell "Steel Fortress". Eight hundred years ago, the fourth layer of the Abyss, the "Gray Illusion", became the "lava swamp" of the underworld...... And so on, every time the devil wins, it always takes away the richest super plane in the abyss. And the war to snatch these super planes is the "bloody war" between demons and demons that has lasted for countless years.
No one knows how ambitious the Devil King is, or maybe he wants to swallow up the entire abyss.
In the abyss, there are countless ways to please the will of the abyss, but killing the devil or destroying the devil's plan will always get the highest priority.
As the leader of the Third Legion, the Legendary Demon knows more about the devil than most creatures. And Zuode, who inherited his memory, is therefore full of curiosity about this regular creature.
"Stun him, I'd like to see what kind of guy dares to perform such an evil ritual under the noses of the elves. Zode commanded. Completely forgetting that he was also summoned by this kind of ritual.
Daniel is an ugly-looking old man, hunched and one-eyed, and lame, no wonder he turns into a withdrawn and strange old man, this kind of shady human being is the easiest to attract the attention of the monsters of the lower levels.
And now, under the influence of magic, the old man was sleeping on the floor, and his bleeding arm was naturally out of the range of the ritual circle.
Suddenly, the candle on the pentagram began to vibrate violently, and a large black fog began to emerge from the circle.
"Who is it, dare to disturb the bloody ritual of the great Duke of Hades, Mammon!" the thick fog gathered together and slowly condensed into a terrifying devilish figure. It had a goat-like head, scarlet eyes, and a snake-like tongue full of sharp serrations. A pair of thick sharp horns bent over the head, painted with mysterious runes.
This devil's virtual body is tall and mighty, full of terrifying pressure. It was staring at Fianna with those terrible eyes.
Fianna was overwhelmed by this sudden change, and she instinctively wanted to cast a spell, but under this tremendous pressure, she recited several spells incorrectly, and the spell failed. Fianna was so frightened that she almost cried.
"Is that you? I'll dig out your heart and squeeze it into sweet wine. But you won't die right away, I'll keep you in a box and let you wail in pain for hundreds of years......"
Hearing the devil's words, Fianna's face turned even pale, her hands and feet were weak, and she seemed to fall to the ground at any moment.
