Chapter 168: Abyss Demon
In the end, in the cage, all the human slaves fell, their souls were bound in the air by the magic array, their flesh and blood were devoured by the dark power, large and small white bones were stacked in the cage, under the light of the double moon, all this in the magic array seemed so weird.
The Black Rock Orcs who were watching near the magic circle were also quiet at this time, and an atmosphere of unease spread among them, and Croft had to send his descendants to calm their emotions around.
Although he also felt that Grudan's magic was too evil and weird at this time, he still didn't resist the greedy desire in his heart, "Hold on for a while, as long as you use Gruudan to break the castle in front, you can put other things aside first." ”
What Croft didn't notice was that at the beginning, Gruudan was chanting the guidance spell in a low voice in orc language, and after all the human slaves died, he changed to a language that the orcs present did not understand, and Grudan was getting louder and louder, and in the end, he was almost shouting the incantation.
Suddenly, above this "Summoning Magic Array", a huge spatial crack appeared out of thin air, and two fierce giant claws with green flames poked out of this spatial crack, and then they tore left and right, and this huge spatial crack was torn into a huge spatial door by them.
Croft could even see the other side of the scene from this space door: the dark red earth, not a single grass grows, green evil energy flames dotted the empty wilderness, and even, he can smell a trace of sulfur, which is the smell of the air on the other side of the space door.
With the help of Gurudan, the space door that was torn open by the inexplicable creature finally stabilized, and a four-hoofed creature with a huge body came to Gurudan through the space door, and when the creature stepped on the ground, several careful orcs found that the ground it was stepping on was slowly desertifying.
Gruudan said in demonic language, "Respected Abyss High Lord, your humble servant is here to welcome you to the Continent of Stellan!"
This abyss demon said unceremoniously: "Don't talk nonsense, the fluctuations that I forcibly tore apart the space have been shaking endlessly in the spatial level, and the powerhouses of the Strands Continent will soon know the reason for the spatial shocks, hmph, you don't have much time, tell your purpose quickly!"
Gruudan humbly lowered his head and said in a more deferential tone: "Great Abyss High Lord, I sacrifice these lowly human souls to you, just to let me go further on the path of warlock and break the shackles of promotion that bind me!"
Yes, Gruudan never built this "Summoning Magic Array" to summon more Hellfire golems, he was just using Croft, using him to build this altar, and summoning the Abyss Demon on the altar, he was going to make a deal with this Abyss Demon, a deal that would only benefit him.
Poor Croft, he doesn't understand the demon language, and naturally he doesn't know what they're talking about, and he still naively thinks that Gurudan is "working" for him, "Why is there only a big guy, and it's not the kind of magic puppet of that day, it's like a powerful intelligent creature, well, but looking at its size, it should be able to easily break through that castle." ”
Croft would not have thought that if this Abyss Great Lord really wanted to let go of his hands and feet here, well, let alone the small Silver Pine Castle, the entire Golden Moon County would also be destroyed by the aftermath of his battle.
After hearing Gurudan's request, this abyss demon first opened his mouth and directly swallowed the human souls bound in the magic array into his stomach, and then continued: "These sacrifices are not enough, if you only have these sacrifices, I can only promote you to the next level, and in the future, you will never be able to advance again, hmph, these sacrifices can only let you get this reward!"
Gu Rudan thought to himself, "Wouldn't it be that I can only be a sixteenth-level demonic warlock in the future? In the Shadow Church, a sixteenth-level warlock can only be a bishop, right? No, no, after paying such a big price, but I can only be promoted by one level and solidified at the sixteenth level, then the Inquisition of the Shadow Church will still come to hold me accountable for my failure!"
"Although he will not be executed immediately, he will not have any freedom in the future, but he will become the servants of those big men and stay in the church forever. Gurudan thought unwillingly, "Well, there are not enough sacrifices, so as long as there are enough sacrifices, there is still a chance for this matter to turn around! Fortunately, before the construction of this altar, I kept a little bit of a backhand!"
"Honorable Abyss Grand Lord, what do you think of these strong orcs around you, if I sacrifice their souls, their flesh and blood, to you, can you give me a 'light' warlock path, a path to promotion without hidden dangers or bottlenecks?"
The abyssal demon glanced up and swept around, and then felt the maximum range of the altar under his feet, "Counting these sacrifices, it's almost enough, but I don't make much money, after all, I also have to transform the energy of the sacrifices into the purest evil energy to satisfy the desires of this greedy orc in front of me." ”
"However, the next Abyss War is about to begin," the Abyss Demon calculated in his heart: "If I can train him to be a pioneer pawn in the Strandne Continent, perhaps, I will get unexpected gains in the future Abyss War! Well, I like this kind of creature that will do anything for the sake of strength, tsk, this second batch of sacrifices is his kind!"
In Gurudan's expectant gaze, the abyssal creature finally nodded and said, "Okay, although the number of sacrifices is still a little worse, their souls are much better than the quality of the first sacrifices, I, Sauron Soyah, the High Lord of the Demon Abyss, accept your trade request!"
In order to squeeze the power of this magic circle as much as possible, when Gurudan chanted the spell again, Sauronsoya also input his own power into the magic array, and as the spell progressed, the human bones scattered in the huge cage were also controlled by an invisible force to rebuild a small human bone altar in the center of the magic array.
It was only at this time that Croft realized that something was wrong, and he gathered a group of the fiercest warriors of the Black Rock tribe and led them towards Gurudan, but it was too late, and before they could take a few steps, a mutation protruded.
