Act 101 Crushed ambitions
The endless mana and faith surging in the body were shattered by the terrifying green coercion. οΌοΌ
The feeling of weakness of depleting mana, the feeling of being crushed, the feeling of fear that had accumulated in his heart, these emotions burst out in an instant, intertwined into a terrible darkness, and almost drowned Amber's consciousness.
In the abyssal darkness, only that terrible green eye remained, like a burning flame.
"No, you can't be an enemy..."
Amber gritted her teeth, sweat dripping down her hair.
The Lord of the Sunken, no, the Lord of the Sunken Demon is a monster that cannot be defeated, there is no doubt about that.
She has faced desperate situations many times, but she has never fallen into the abyss. At this moment, she deeply realized that there was no point in struggling in the abyss.
Bang!
At the tip of the broken staff, the gem dimmed and shattered, a crisp sound echoing through the silent passages.
Blood spilled from the corners of Amber's mouth, and as her consciousness sanctuated, she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
Thump.
Soon, only the Sinking Demon Lord and the half-demon Merman who were silent on the side were left with their eyes open at the moment.
"The pros are invincible to demons, and to be honest, I'm quite surprised."
Tang Ze looked away from Amber and turned to Merman on the side, his dark green eyes sparkling, "I'm very interested in the three little monsters you brought..."
β...β
Merman nodded a little nervously, then looked up tentatively, dodging Tang Ze's gaze and said, "This is actually very simple, honorable lord. Just as you easily suppressed me with great force, these human professionals are just weaklings to me. β
"Oh."
Tang Ze nodded slightly, Merman's words still won his approval.
Of course, it's not the sycophant part that agrees, but the part where "strong is the truth".
In the struggle between humans and demons, strength is absolute, the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated, which is normal.
"So, talk to me about Black Food."
Tang Ze moved his gaze disappreciatively, his gaze sharpened in an instant, and when he heard the word "black food", Merman's demonic pupils shrank significantly, obviously startled.
Black food? How does it know it's from Black Food?
Merman felt chills all over his body, the chill flowed all over his body, he didn't know anything about the monster in front of him, but the other party had already probed all over his home, this feeling made people feel aggrieved to the point of fear.
Rumble!
Before Merman could speak, it was unimaginable that a heavier weight than the previous coercion fell on Merman, his head hit the floor tiles and splashed debris, and while he was dizzy, Merman heard the sound of the stones around him trembling.
Because the pressure of the monster in front of him was too strong, the floor tiles of the entire passage were trembling, which was so terrifying.
Is this the real coercion of this monster?
Merman exclaimed inwardly, and he could clearly feel that the evil breath around him had fallen from this terrifying coercion.
The floor tiles were covered with a thick black mist.
Those two humans could have been directly crushed into pulp under this kind of coercion? The thought flashed through Merman's mind, and he didn't have the energy to care about anything else, just to stabilize the tremors of his body and do his best.
"Okay, okay."
Merman struggled to speak, knowing he had no choice, his voice distinctly pleading, "I'll tell you everything, everything I know!" β
As he said this, the terrifying coercion lessened a lot, and Merman felt his body lighten, and his hands were on the ground, and he raised his head buried in the bricks, and the demon's pupils were full of struggle.
"To the point, I don't listen to."
Tang Ze was concise and to the point, examining Merman in front of him.
β...β
However, Tang Ze found himself not getting a response.
Merman didn't say a word, tilted his head, the demon's eyes slowly turned light purple, his dark pupils dilated again and again, and some thin bodies made a rattling sound, and he stood up with the coercion.
βsllojnοΌsdinniγβ
Merman seemed to have undergone an unknown change in his body, his light purple eyes did not have any sparkle, and he mechanically chanted spells, and his body began to swell strangely.
β...β
In the face of Merman's changes, Tang Ze did not say much and re-released the coercion that had been withdrawn.
Click! Rumble!
Merman's legs exploded in an instant, splattering blood, and his tilted head slammed to the ground, but it still twisted with difficulty and slowly, dripping with blood, and almost aimed at Tang Ze's face.
βAhοΌAhοΌAhγβ
Merman opened his mouth with difficulty, uttering a few meaningless syllables.
It is clear that Merman, while ambitious, is just a puppet of the Black Food.
The curse of this mysterious cursed monster didn't want Merman to leak his secrets, so he became like this.
Bang!
Tang Ze's eyes lit up, the green magic pattern flashed away, Merman's body exploded to pieces, and the fragmented flesh surged into a blood mist, trapped in a circular cage condensed by coercion.
At the same time, Tang Ze's spirit of perception felt a strange power gushing out of the blood mist, seemingly connecting some distant corner of the territory of Aranok.
However, this peculiar power carries with it an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have been exposed to this strange power somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Huh?"
Tang Ze's eyes widened slightly, and a light purple phantom detached from Merman's body, looking like a four-limbed demon in hideous armor, his light purple eyes turned, and finally faced Tang Ze.
Haughty, and a deep voice sounded.
This demonic phantom seems to be the demonic language used, but Tang Ze can understand what it wants to convey through powerful perception.
"You'll regret it, no one can thwart my plans."
"Whoever it is, there will be a price."
"Henous, remember my name."
"Tremble, poor worm..."
The phantom dissipated after saying that, it had no self-consciousness, it was kind of like a magic mirror, a video or something.
"Henous?"
Tang Ze's green eyes flickered for a while, and then he showed a look of surprise.
He remembered that when he was investigating the mysterious ruins in the Black Umbrella Canyon, he had chased and killed a lilac phantom that called himself Henous, and then resurrected beneath the ruins, a "monster dungeon", and sent him to death with arrogance, and finally crushed by him.
It seems that Henous still wants to take control of the Lv30 storm beast of the "Behemoth Dungeon", which is comparable to Andariel's combat power, and then sweep through Alanok. It's just that the storm beast is no match for him, and in the end it has become the skeleton at the feet of the Demon Lord.
"I see."
Tang Ze kind of figured it all out.
Although Black Food is a human organization, it is obviously supported by demons, and it may be the lilac demon phantom, Henous, who supports Black Food and manipulates the half-demon Merman, and sets up a shocking conspiracy in Ru Gain and Gena City.
In fact, Henous's combat power is okay, but as a demon king-level, the demon lord of the terrifying nuclear bomb walking in the world, Tang Ze is too powerful.
It's like Andariel walking out of the cathedral at the beginning of Diablo 2's game and directly leading his troops to eradicate Rog's camp.
If you don't make sense, there's no need to be reasonable.
To put it simply, when he was farming monsters in Black Umbrella Canyon, he may have accidentally pinched one of Aranok's big conspiracy demons to death, and by the way, he broke the huge layout that shrouded Alanok, so thinking about it, Henous's arrogance and conceit may make sense.
After all, it has planned such a huge game, and it is normal to be arrogant and conceited.
"It's pathetic."
"No matter how cunning the tricks, they are still extremely vulnerable to absolute power."
Casually glancing at Merman's disfigured corpse, Tang Ze couldn't help but sigh.
Henous's defeat was not without reason, but after his ambitions were shattered, it was a ghost to show Tang Ze his arrogance again.
The rest is simple.
Tang Ze pondered for a while.
Now that the head of the black food has been cleared, it will be difficult for the conspiracy to continue to operate, as for the chess pieces buried all over the human city, just leave it to the human professional to clean up, Tang Ze will ensure that history will go like a game, so he will break the demon's conspiracy against the human race, but he will not help the professional like a nanny.
For now, due to Merman's incursions, most of the Canduran professionals have withdrawn to the ground, the professionals of the Professionals' Home have been killed by his men, Amber and Seniore are unconscious, and the situation is a little too chaotic.
β... It's really useless to be a professional. β
Not even a half-demon can deal with it, so how can we talk about sealing the demon king of Aranok, Duriel, and rescuing the archangel Tyrell? Tang Ze couldn't help but think of it, but he quickly snuffed it out.
After thinking about it, the current situation of such a weak professional has something to do with him.
Originally, the professionals who came from Canduras should have been a vast army, all composed of elites.
But they bumped into the Demon Lord again and again, defeated and fought repeatedly, their strength continued to shrink, and they even became the nourishment of the Demon Master...
"The task of sewers still has to be solved by professionals in Canduras."
Tang Ze was a little irritable, he had to do this in order to make sure that history went as the game progressed, but he couldn't pick any of the Canduras professionals to complete the task at the moment, he really couldn't help it.
Shout.
Suddenly, a light disappeared in the corner, Tang Ze's eyes froze, and the dark green armor on his body swelled out countless green lights, these rays of light were woven into thin threads, and they rushed to that corner in an instant, and soon, a group of frightened soul bodies was dragged out, and they were dragged directly to Tang Ze.
"My lord! My lord! You are the supreme god! β
"No offense! No offense! β
This is an old man who looks like a mage, constantly kowtowing to Tang Ze, Tang Ze recognizes him, this old man is the soul body attached to Amber's body, it seems that he should have a good background, maybe he is still a mage of the same era as Ta Laxia.
"Oh, I know you, the amulet on that girl."
Tang Ze's heart moved, he thought of an idea, and looked at the soul body in front of him with an interested gaze.
"Huh... You don't look like your average demon... In fact, there are many demons in the War for Original Sin who have also helped humanity..."
The old mage smiled dryly, nodded nervously, and tried his best to soften the atmosphere.
"Yes, I'm trying to help these professionals."
"You're a good candidate."
Tang Ze smiled hideously, and in the frightened gaze of the old mage, Amber and Senior, who were unconscious, were held up by an invisible force and gently placed on both sides of the old man.
"Well, on behalf of the professionals, I thank you, sir."
The old mage noticed that Amber and Senior's injuries were gradually recovering, his pupils shrank, and then he saluted Tang Ze respectfully.
Although he was nervous about the kindness of the terrifying monster in front of him, he had seen the unrivaled power of the Demon Lord before, and he knew his situation very well, except for compromise, there was only... Compromise.
"I don't need to be grateful."
Tang Ze said lightly: "I have a task for you, human mage, these professionals are too weak and need support." β
"That's right."
The old mage nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "You're right, they need support. β
β...β
Tang Ze was speechless for a while, but he quickly ignored the old man's funnyness and continued to say calmly: "You should understand that they are here for the 'Rodament of the Sewers', and only by eradicating this sewer monster can they gain the trust of the royal family." β
Wordless shock spread in the old man's heart, he was shocked by the terrifying information grasp of the monster in front of him, and then he quickly came back to his senses and said respectfully: "I understand, my lord, you will assist the professionals in killing Rodament..."
"Huh."
Hearing the old man's response, Tang Ze chuckled, making the old man stunned.
"No need for help."
Tang Ze's green eyes flashed with terrifying fire, "Just prove it." β
As soon as the words fell, the doubt in the old man's eyes had not yet formed, and a cold and sharp outline appeared in the dark passage, and the dark gold scarab beetle quietly appeared, appearing beside Tang Ze, and fell to the ground respectfully.
At the same time, a large, hideous, bloodstained head rolled to the ground, and it was the head of "Rodament".
β...β
The old mage man stared blankly at the huge head, and even though it was a soul body, he still felt his throat dry.
Sure enough, this is the brutal nature of monsters.
He was afraid of the brutality of the monster in front of him, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.
"I get it, I'll tell them that the sewer mission has been solved."
The old mage said in a deep voice and saluted respectfully.
"A little more."
Tang Ze smiled a little more hideously, "The battle was fierce, all the professionals in the homes of the professionals died, and in the end, the professionals of Canduras turned the tide and ended everything. β
β... Okay, as you wish. β
The old mage bowed his head deeply, not daring to make contact with the flaming gaze of the Demon Lord.
"Very well, I would love to see the growth of professionals and hope that they will not be destroyed by pedantic traditions."
Tang Ze left a word, turned around and disappeared into the darkness, the dark gold scarab glanced at the old mage coldly, and also followed Tang Ze's footsteps and left.
For a long time afterward, the old mage remained stiff.
The sight of the cold red compound eyes almost cut him into several pieces.
If his soul could sweat, he would definitely be sweating.
"It's horrible... To be with the darkness and against the darkness, what is the misfortune... Or..."
The old mage was silent for a long time, looking at Amber and Senior, who were unconscious, with mournful eyes, and then his eyes fell on the huge head of Rodamant, who was lying quietly on the ground, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't imagine what a terrifying being like the Demon Lord was planning, and he didn't want to imagine it.
