Chapter 730: The Deception and Redemption of Assac I
(The first update is completed, today is the end of the month, and another month has passed, and the groomsmen have worked hard to update and hope that everyone can like and support!)
In the center of the Hidden Temple, the wails and whispers of the dead rise and fall in the depths of the heart of the Dead City, where stands a throne made of bones.
Above the throne was a large skeleton draped in black robes with a rust-red skeleton.
In the palm of the skeleton's hand was a huge dark brown staff that was several people tall, and it shone with a divine light that made people's hearts feel dead and cold.
This skeleton didn't look like the soul fire burning in its eye sockets like other undead creatures, and it didn't have any aura of power in its body, as if it were a dead thing.
But anyone who knows about the situation in Casselli's lowest prison and the city of the dead can guess the true and terrifying identity of this skeleton, which is none other than the ancient god of death, Naraku.
After Assas and Tanobos entered the area of the City of the Dead, the terrifying skeleton did not react, as Tannobos said before, during the time of sleep, for some reason, this flesh harvester did not have a strong sense of the outside world, as long as he did not deliberately expose himself in front of him, then he was basically able to sneak in and out.
However, this changed as the waters of the River Styx crossed them towards the center of the Dead City, passing through the location of the Hidden Temple.
The moment the colorless river flowed through the Hidden Temple, a scarlet flash suddenly flashed in the eyes of the huge skeleton as if an electric current had generated a spark.
Then the sound of the rolling mechanism bearing that seemed to be the opening of the secret room sounded, and the giant rust-red skull joints that were originally like dead things began to move, and the scarlet soul fire in the skull suddenly ignited like gasoline, and the silent howl accompanied by the cold and crazy death intent suddenly overwhelmed the entire city of the dead underworld, and all the creatures in the realm of death immediately followed and howled.
No matter how sleepy the god of death is, after all, this is also the realm of the former superior god, and after the powerful power of the comparable superior god of the river Styx invades the core of his realm, there is no induction, then it is estimated that it is really not far from falling.
Assath didn't know that someone else was involved. It's just that he was unlucky, and as soon as he entered the city of the dead underworld, he was discovered by the god of death, Naraku!
"There's no choice but to find Edimachus first, and then break out of the city of the dead together!"
Yasas had an open-minded tone, and Tannobos had to do it on the surface, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
The rooms attached to the Temple of Concealment were numerous and often changed owners, and Assas could not guarantee that Edimachus was still imprisoned in the room he knew.
But he could only take advantage of Naraku's recent awakening to take the risk and try it. Fortunately, the location of the target has not changed over the years.
When Assas broke all the way to the depths of the Dead City, came to the familiar stone chamber again, broke the outer gate defense, and saw the figure inside who was imprisoned in the center of the stone chamber with iron locks, even if he was tortured endlessly, his eyes couldn't help but turn red with excitement.
"Edimachus!"
Hearing this, the figure in the center of the stone room slowly turned around, but there was a hint of madness and despair and a struggling smile on his pale face.
"Damn Miraku, what did you do to Eddimacus?"
Asace shouted Edymachus' name in disbelief. But Edimachus, however, seemed to hear a faint voice far away, and was slow to react.
At this time. A strange smile came from the other side of the stone chamber, and a shriveled demonic skeleton with evil eyes flashing with evil aura, surrounded by the aura of death, walked towards them.
This is the most powerful demonic undead priest in the city of the dead underworld, Dark Miraku.
"His Royal Highness Grant was right, you have real feelings for Edimachus, and one day you will definitely come to rescue him, the problem is that the Dead Hell is not the Overworld. The great Highness Naraku has awakened, and you and your immortal companion have lost the opportunity to leave, and I don't know if you regret it. My dear Royal Highness Prince Asas!"
has the realm of demigods, but it can use the power of the true gods it believes in, especially in the home environment of the city of the dead, at least it can fight against the lower gods, and Miraku also knows that he has too many enemies and a bad reputation, and many righteous gods are eager to destroy themselves completely, which is why even as the messenger of Naraku, it has the means to get the opportunity to leave the prison plane of Casseli, which other beings dream of, but it rarely leaves here.
In the face of the Dark Miraku, the immortal demon priest, Tan Nobos, who is a powerhouse at the lower god level, doesn't care so much, and what he is afraid of is the god of death, Naraku.
And Assas's attitude towards Miraku was extremely hateful, seeing his beloved being tortured like this, he could hardly recognize himself, so that the fallen prince wanted to dismantle Miraku's bones into pieces, put them into the fire elemental plane, and accept the burning of endless lava.
"I'll deal with this guy, you go wake up Eddemachus, and then break out together!"
Tannobos, fearing that Assath would be stimulated by this and become emotional, would affect his plans, and immediately diverted Assas's attention after meeting Miraku.
And this trick did work for Assath, and concern for the safety of Edimachus took the upper hand in Assas's heart, overpowering the hatred for Miracu, so that the fallen prince did not make any impulsive moves.
Tannobos, the undead demon lord, then fought with Dark Miraku, a demon priest who voluntarily degenerated into an undead lich.
is also a powerful existence in the immortal realm, even if it is said that regardless of the real strength, in essence, Tan Nobos still has the upper hand.
Compared with an undead creature like Miraku who has degenerated into a lich the day after tomorrow, Tanobos, a powerful half-undead and half-demon creature created by a powerful creator like Oscar, has a more advantage, not to mention that Tannobos himself is also an undead demon lord at the lower god level.
Although Miraku can use the power of Naraku to achieve the combat power of the lower gods, its immortal body has no advantage at all in front of Tannobos, and Miraku's insidious and cunning tactics are completely inferior to Tannobos's powerful experience honed in countless years of life-and-death battles in the abyss.
So as soon as the two sides started, Miraku lost ground with one move and began to fall into disadvantage.
Assath came to the imprisoned Edhemachus, breaking his shackles while recounting the past between them, trying to awaken Edymachus's true sober will.
Speaking of the origin of Epimachus, many people in the multiverse who know something about the history of the celestial realm or the abyss must have heard of the existence of this fallen angel and demon king.
As one of the Big Three of the Abyss, not only does he possess the power of a comparable superior god, but the Fallen Sovereign's perverted preferences are more famous than his powerful power, and it can even be said that it resounded across the multiverse.
Grant's favorite thing is to lure the righteous creatures who hate evil to fall, which is no different from the hobby of other demon lords, but the terrible thing is that compared to those demons who like to use their lives, Money and power are used as bargaining chips for temptation, Grant is more inclined to incarnate as a righteous person, win the favor of the target, and then lead the other party's will to waver step by step, if the process does not go well, he will also use the most important existence in the target's heart as a threat, and finally make the target choose to fall willingly, and often most of the time, those victims will not be able to resent him as the initiator.
Anyone who knows anything about the past will shudder at the fallen monarch's manipulation of people's hearts.
As the most successful case of the Fallen Monarch, Grant is still proud of the fact that he successfully seduced Edimachus, the most powerful warrior in the Celestial Realm, and the leader of the celestial creatures who almost wiped out the ancient demons.
Even the incarnation of the Succubus Queen to seduce the ugly Koschurch is not comparable to the achievement of making Eddie Macus fall.
And if this alone is not surprising, because other powerful demon monarchs have also done similar feats, and although Adimachus, who has been favored by the gods of justice, is as powerful as a true god, after all, he has not reached the level of a superior god, and he is not the best among them.
However, the story is far from over here.
Reduced to a demon lord, Edimachus did not abandon his past glory and resentment towards the fallen monarch during his exile in the abyss, and in order to gain more power and take revenge on Grant, the leader of the former celestial creatures who is still strong relies on his unique charm to gather a demon henchmen in the abyss world.
Leading this rampaging demonic army, Edimachus relied on his familiarity with the Upper Realm to successfully invade the Heavenly Mountain Plane, where celestial creatures live.
The celestial creature army of Heavenly Mountain reacted in time and repelled the demon army, but it also paid a great price, and the angelic race of Heavenly Mountain was forced to tear apart a piece of Heavenly Mountain area polluted and occupied by demons from the material structure of the original plane, and throw it into the bottomless abyss.
This large chunk of dimensional matter falls in a layer within the bottomless abyss called the Cranial Occipital Domain. The fallen Adymachus quickly incorporated the Fragment of Heavenly Mountain into the Cranial Occipital Domain.
In this way, he became the Demon Lord of the plane, gaining near-infinite power and becoming a Demon Prince in the process.
Edymachus ruled the Cranial Occipital Domain for many years, shaping it from its ruins into a vast demonic empire, and its power was restored to the peak state of the median god supported by the gods for a time.
Even after being defeated by Grant's machinations, he still had some kind of success, being the second celestial fallen creature ever to be below the Fallen Monarch Matthews.
