Theopharan's airspace didn't come out of nowhere, and when Sindora was negotiating with the king, Belvede naturally skipped his shift, and he found some unknown accounts in Theopharan's library. Theopharan, one of the first to be expelled from the imperial capital, found a secret passage to the lower levels of the North after a unsuccessful search for Hero.

But that secret passage leads not to a beautiful new home, but to a trap.

When Theophalans descended the secret passage to the underground, a giant black tentacle monster awaited them. The current location of the royal city of Theopharan is the core of the monster, and the entire underground passage was created by it. The monster's tentacles are everywhere, and the hidden paths are actually the channels for its prey.

Any monster and human who has gone astray with too much good intentions has become the belly of the monster.

Theophalam's book describes the monster as follows:

The most evil monster of all time.

A mountain-like body.

Thousands of tentacles.

There are no facial features, and at the core is an eye-like object.

Any creature touched by the tentacles will be petrified.

Based on these clues, Belvede tried to reconstruct the monster's appearance, and as a result, he pieced together an ugly and disgusting monster, and he was glad that he didn't have to deal with it.

"Oh, wait a minute, you're saying there's a monster living beneath our city?"

The Shadow General was skeptical.

He had participated in the First Demon Tide War as a mercenary, and he and Baifeng were the ones who had witnessed that history, but at least in the battlefield of the Imperial Capital, he had never encountered a monster like it. The thought that the city he was familiar with might have been built on a monster that would quietly prey on humans made Ei's heart feel a little chilly.

"Have you never wondered who dug up those forks in the underground waters?" Belvede asked him.

"Who would know that it has been a slum since the establishment of the imperial capital, and no one will pay attention to their movements. ”

"So even if these homeless people are preyed, no one will find out. Lin Qiu suddenly realized.

"What you're talking about, that's not the point at all. Belvede interrupted Lin Qiu and Ei's discussion about monsters.

The appearance and origin of this monster are not important, as it was killed by Theophalan's ancestors long ago.

However, the hunt for this monster also cost Theopharan very much, and most of the people were killed and wounded, and in order to deal the final blow to the monster, the patriarch and several top assassins had to enter the interior of the monster and disintegrate it from the inside. ”

At that time, it was still the most prosperous days for Theophalan, most of them were elites who were good at hunting monsters, but killing this monster consumed most of their combat power, and the patriarch and elite assassins died with the monster, which shows the strength of this monster. However, it was precisely because of the heavy blow to Theofaram that the tone of later dovish sovereignty was set.

After defeating the monsters, they plan to establish a kingdom in this airspace with the focus on cultivating and recuperating.

Then, the problem arises.

The monster left behind a magic core.

If no one inherits the power of the Core, over time, this monster will be reborn and make a comeback, and its existence will once again become a hidden danger for Theophalan, but on the other hand, at that time, the sealing technology of the Temporal Seal was extremely closed, and most of it was still in the hands of the Church, and Theopharan, who was expelled from the imperial capital, did not possess this ability.

In order to nifle the threat in the cradle, the new patriarch sealed the core in a secret place with the power of the clan, and warned no one to approach it.

"Since they don't have the ability to seal the magic core, how did Goeben get this power?"

"That's the most interesting part. Belvede said, "He ate the core." ”

"Eaten?"

Rao is well-informed shadow was also shocked to close his mouth.

He had seen a lot of reckless people, but it was the first time he had heard of a person who was so reckless that he could directly eat a king-level demon core.

"Ordinary people like him will not only be supported by the power of the demon core and die, but also use their own flesh and blood to nourish the demon core and give birth to new monsters. However, Goeben's physique is extremely special, not only was he not blown up by the demon core, but he also fully accepted its power...... But that's nothing, the world is full of wonders, and it's only reasonable to have one or two freaks once in a while, but you might be in trouble. ”

"What's the point in that?"

"It's normal that you don't know, after all, the engraving has been improved beyond recognition...... When I came back, I secretly looked through your information in the church, and the seal in your body should be the 'Fourth Order Seal'. ”

Lin Qiu nodded noncommittally.

"Very well, for the sake of your understanding, I'll compare you, Alyssa, and Goben-Azouk. ”

The ultimate goal of the improvement of the seal is to allow the power of the monster to better integrate with the human race, but this process is also a process of the gradual suppression of the power of the monster.

Because when the ancestor Bishop Xia Noya was studying the engraving with the Holy Maiden, he thought that it was impossible for the manic power of the monster to be perfectly integrated into the human body, so they divided the power of the monster into four sections through some means, and when the subject's strength adapted to a range, they went to unlock the seal of the next level one by one. The reason why it is called an imperfect seal is simple, because if the subject is unable to adapt to the power of one of the zones, or if a mistake occurs in the process of unlocking the seal, he will immediately be corrupted by the power of the monster and become a sub-demon.

Evera has proven this with his own example.

So after a series of improvements, the seal in Elisa's body was born. In order to avoid the knight being counterattacked by the mark, when the power was implanted in the knight's body, they had permanently removed the most violent part of the seal, which was almost no different from the seal of the four knots in the early stage, and its stability was that as long as the knight's consciousness remained, he could not be counterattacked, and the shortcomings were also shadowed - removing the most violent part also meant strangling the upper limit of the seal, and the knight who passed this seal would never be able to touch the threshold of the domain level.

Goben-Azuk, on the other hand, is different from Lin Qiu and Alyssa.

Eating the magic core is actually a "perfect fusion" that the previous bishop Xia Noya thought was impossible.

From the moment he ate it, Goeben received the full power of the monster...... To translate in words that you can understand, it means that he has perfectly unlocked the third-order 'Four Knots Seal' from the beginning, and unlike you, since you have the possibility of being eroded by monsters, there is a time limit for liberating the third-order, and Goebon can maintain this state as long as his consciousness remains. ”

"You can understand that Goeben has become that monster now. ”
