Chapter 438: The Mage's Journey to Hell (Part II)
According to Little Devil Fanny, no one knows what kind of legendary creature the Minalos Worm is, and it's only because it's been sliding through the swamps of the third level of Hell and looks a bit like a worm that it was named.
It resembles a large purple worm, covered in an ivory-like white carapace, and a rough, tumorous head with a bony horned crown that extends behind it.
The Minaros Worm may appear in various places in the swamps of the third layer of Hell, but those places must be kept away from several cities and fortresses. It does not actively attack ordinary mortals who approach it, but it likes to devour any infernal creature that dares to stand in its way.
According to legend, the Minalos Worm is immortal and cannot be truly killed, at least until now, the devils have not found a way to actually destroy it. While it is true that you can forcibly kill it by force, it will not be long before it will still appear in the swamp as before, wriggling endlessly in sewage and sludge.
A living, non-Infernal mortal who wishes to receive the power boost from the Minaros Worm must first approach its head head-on unarmed, and then raise his hands at his sides in a harmless gesture of pleading.
The Minaros Worm will then lean its head over and sniff you to determine if you are a true mere compliment. The devils and other infernal creatures of Hell will be swallowed up at once, disappearing into the worm's mouth full of sharp teeth.
Once detected, the worm will lower its mountain-like head and open its mouth in silence for you to enter. Rest assured, the Minoros worm will never bite you when you walk in, and you can safely walk all the way into its stomach pouch, surrounded by the acidic mucus secreted by its stomach pouch.
If you are able to survive the entire digestion process of the worm, it will be quickly excreted from the body. At this time, you will be a strange cocoon, and as you endure severe pain and tear open the tenacity film wrapped around your body, you will find that one aspect of your body has been strengthened, whether it is strength, agility, or other aspects, depending on which aspect you are best at.
"Do you want to go, Master Mage?" asked the little devil Fanny, "although the Minoros Worm is very large, it is still extremely small compared to the entire three layers of Hell. And it's used to haunting the inaccessible world, so it's not easy to find. However, there is always a way to find it at the registry, and if you want to go, you need to make a reservation in advance. By the way, each person can only be strengthened once in their lifetime, and when you do, the worm will not let you into its body again. ”
"What would happen if I didn't resist the digestion of that big worm?" asked Krees.
"There was no consequence, it was just digested. The little devil guide said, "It's food scraps, that's all." ”
"Can magic resist worm digestion?"
"It seems like it can be. "Some people feel that they can't get through it, so they will use a hidden weapon to pierce the worm's stomach pouch to escape, but this will also make them lose the possibility of strengthening." None of the participants who did not use their bodies to fight the worms' digestive system did not seem to receive that special reinforcement. ”
I see, should I go and see it? He felt that his small body would most likely not be able to resist without magic, but Barrett should. And didn't that guy also gain a little bit of the troll's regenerative ability, which couldn't be more suitable for use here.
I just don't know if there will be time and opportunity to do it when Barrett is released from prison. But anyway, Krees made a mental note of the matter.
......
Since Krees was not familiar with the city of Dis and the entire Bato Nine Prisons, there was no place that he really wanted to go. He just wandered the streets, letting the little devil guide explain to him some of the functions of architecture and some "interesting facts" that happened in the city.
"It's the 'Court of Arbitration' in the City of Diss. "It is responsible for mediating all disputes between the devil and the devil, and between the devil and other visitors, as well as for all kinds of contracts with different opinions." The arbitral judge there is called 'Gazil', a stubborn and unique devil who scrutinizes the contents of the contract, listens carefully to the arguments of both sides, and then eats the losing party with insufficient arguments......"
"'Luck Counts' is a small casino run by a halfling with purgatory, but since most people are used to betting in the Arena of Dis, business has been deserted. ”
Moving on, "This is a clothing store, and the clothes inside are made of various demon leathers, the most popular of which is the cloak made of the skin of the 'Shadow Demon', which is reasonably priced, and allows the wearer to have a certain degree of stealth in a dim or dark environment. The little devil pointed to a shop called 'Waste Utilization'.
"Of course, the most expensive one is definitely the coat made of the skin of the Barlow Flame Demon, and there is still a trace of 'Flame Aura' left on that clothes, which can cause a small amount of fire damage to all living beings around it. This isn't easy to use in Hell, though, as most of us have fire immunity. ”
"Quick, Master Mage, flash to the side and don't get in the way. The little devil hurriedly advised Krees, "Duke Beavant, the 'Rebel Pursuer', has come from over there, and we had better stop where we are and wait for him and his servants to pass." ”
After the Duke had passed, the little devil continued in a low voice, "Duke Beavant's cruelty is obvious to all in the entire Bato Nine Prisons, he is responsible for hunting down those who disobey the will of the city lord, and he has never missed a beat. ”
Turning right towards the guide, "This is the home of the Plane Consortium 'Glitter Glass', and a hotel for plane travelers, so if you don't have a place to go at night, you can spend the night there." "Pointing to a castle-like building, the little devil guide said, "Although it is very expensive to stay there for one night, they can use the credibility of the consortium to ensure your safety." ”
"Of course, if you want to experience the 'hell' accommodation, the hotel on the other side called 'The Throbbing Heart' is the one. It's opened by three mire wives, if you have something special ......"
"No!" Kreese denied.
"Don't worry, Master Mage, I'm not done yet. The little devil continued, "Hehe, you may not know it, but those three mire women have very amazing transfiguration abilities, and can transform into any woman you can imagine, anything!"
Krees choked the little devil by the throat with a force field spell volley, and dragged it in front of him, "Your job is just to lead the way and introduce, if you speculate about my thoughts for no reason, I will let you feel why the entire multiverse is afraid of spellcasters." He let go of the spell and let the little devil fall to the ground.
"Yes, Master Mage, yes!" said the little devil, panting on the ground.
After a little further to the left, Fanny stopped in front of an area enclosed by a sandstone wall. A lot of lush greenery extends out from the walls, giving the city a different and bright hue of dark red.
Somewhere in the wall is a magnificent door inlaid with gold and silver threads, and there is a faint burst of music and laughter, giving the whole area the feeling of an oasis in the desert.
"It's called 'Carnival Paradise', and it's a place for tired travelers to rest and play. The little devil pointed to the fine gate and said, "I see that you are a little tired from this journey, so you might as well go in and rest." ”
Krees had a feeling in his heart that the ultimate goal of this seemingly well-behaved little devil in front of him was to lead him to this seemingly comfortable place in front of him. The devil couldn't ask for more.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the little mage's face, "You're right, I'm really a little tired." Okay, just listen to you, let's go in and see. ”
