Chapter 249: Remnants
At the bottom of the stairwell, a faint light shone through a door. The figure of the man standing on the last staircase shines strangely.
"If you're not afraid of death, come in, two guys who don't know whether to live or die." The voice of the Demon King came from behind the door.
Such a sentence made Dorothy stop. She already had a very bad feeling, and she didn't know why she was so obsessed with it. In fact, halfway through, she regretted it. Now receiving such a warning in front of the door has made her determined not to enter the door.
But the man who came down first did not have such a consciousness, and he walked in the door without the slightest hesitation.
The location of this basement is the deepest room underground, as seen from the perspective of the castle. It's not big, and it looks like it was built for some kind of ceremony. The magic circle is standard, the workmanship is very crude, and I don't know what it is made of, the candle burns, emitting a pungent smell. The most special thing is that there is an item suspended in the center of the magic circle.
Curious, Lin walked into the magic array, wanting to see things clearly in this dim light, and it was really impossible not to get closer. But...... Why is your face wet?
Reaching out and wiping it in the middle of the person, there was blood on his sleeve. When I wiped the wet part of my face, my fingertips were bloodstained.
Fen, who suddenly appeared in front of him, slapped his palm down on Lin's forehead and said, "Your eyes, ears, mouth and nose are bleeding, and you still want to stay here." Do you really want to blind yourself to death before you give up? ”
As soon as he picked up a man who was bleeding from seven holes, Fen walked out and said, "Let's go." Go up and see what you can make into a container and take this thing with you. ”
The man who was picked up rarely didn't raise a bar with the lich. This is because there are waves churning in the body, layering on top of each other, impacting every part of the body. His whole mind was on how to appease the turbulent force in his body, and he didn't care about playing tricks with a certain lich.
Because the stairwell was too narrow, Dorothy blocked the whole road. The strangeness of Lin's terrifying face shocked the noble vampire lady. For a moment, my mind was a mess.
In this regard, Fen was not polite, and shouted at the vampire who was in the way: "Don't hurry up and go up, don't be in a daze underneath." Otherwise, I'll step on your corpse and walk up. ”
Dorothy, who came back to her senses, walked up without hesitation. It was very difficult to say it, as if I had walked most of my life but going up, it was like going from hell to heaven, and I walked out of the spiral stairwell in a short time.
The two apprentices had already done the preliminary classification, and several large piles of things were sorted and stacked in a corner of the secret room.
The man who was carried out of the spiral stairwell was thrown to his apprentice.
Originally, Halumi and Kaya were concentrating on their tasks. The sudden interruption of course caused their dissatisfaction. But if you look closely, it's actually your own teacher. It doesn't matter if the person doesn't look good, but now on the bloodless face, the facial features are constantly pouring blood outward. Suddenly, the two of them were nervous and wiped their faces, and they were completely at a loss.
The restlessness in his body gradually calmed down, and Lin recalled his previous ...... No, he couldn't remember anything at all, he couldn't remember what he saw, he just knew that he stepped forward and wanted to look more closely, so he was tricked. If it weren't for the fact that another force in the body was born to contend with it, I'm afraid I would have to explain it here today.
In the dream, what should have been a lonely double-layered magic tower and a starry sky now has a lot of gray stumps. Some are hands, some are feet, and more are octopus-like tentacles. A fat man and a middle school student are both embarrassed, obviously after a fierce battle.
Looking at the things that had just been invaded, the fat house incarnation couldn't help but complain: "When will the tentacle demon also target men, could it be that the original version has been in and out in reality?" ”
Pushing the glasses, the second incarnation retorted: "As far as we know, there is only one system of tentacle demons that will move at men, isn't it." ”
Learning from his second incarnation, he pretended to push his air glasses and said, "It's definitely not the Japanese AE system, but it's ...... It can't really be that. Will there be a fandom? ”
"Yes. The indescribable existence ......" As soon as the second incarnation finished speaking, the only two people in the dream world looked at each other helplessly. It's a dangerous drop to be lost, and I really want to go back to Earth.
In reality, Lin, who had regained control of his body, gasped for breath. With a frightened expression, he looked at the lich who was rummaging through something, and asked, "What was that thing just now?" ”
"Oh, I just wanted to praise you for being lucky, not dead or blind, and now you are asking such a question again without knowing whether you are alive or dead."
"There's always something you can say, right?" Lin continued to ask helplessly. It's one thing to be confused and confused, and it's another thing to not even know what to guard against. And he had a faint guess about what happened to him.
Grabbed Halumi and let the dying man rest on Kaya's lap. Fen organized her words for a moment, and after making sure that what she could say, she said cautiously, "That's part of the Dominator." And don't think that it's just a part, it shouldn't pose any threat, the power of the Dominator is unimaginable. Even if it's only a small part, it's related to the original body. ”
Dominator, the name only appears in the Demon King Tikal's Domination, that is, in the early Dark Ages, the main force that slaughtered the Old Gods. But in fact, when someone first hears the name Dominator, the first thing that comes to mind is the myth of Crusu, which contains the old Dominator, a European and American version of a fantasy horror story.
However, the historical accounts of the rulers are quite scarce and unknown. So Lin didn't delve into it after reading it, anyway, it was far away from him, and it wasn't something that a little person like a magician could touch. But today I still ran into it, which is lucky? Or is it unfortunate?
This reminded someone of the lucky coin that Harumi tossed at the fork in the road. Is something broken? Otherwise, how could you encounter such a dangerous thing?
Obey the command, remove the required parts from a pile of useless magical equipment, and use shaping to change its shape. Harumi asked, "Sister, isn't the Dominator your ally?" ”
"They will not be allies with anyone except that they will form alliances with each other."
"And how did they help you get rid of the Old Gods?" Halumi asked. The girls also learned a lot about the bad deeds of the old gods from Fin's mouth. So they don't have a good impression of the old gods.
Regarding the girl's question, Fen said with some pride: "When your strength touches a limit and you can't develop, you will naturally look for some breakthroughs." And the best reference, of course, is those who are higher than themselves. And in the early days, I was not strong enough to slaughter the gods, or at that time, I had no clue about the gods at all. So I disguised the fragments of the Dominator that I had accidentally acquired as trophies. During an escape from the gods, pretending to fall inadvertently, the fragments of the Dominator entered the eyes of the Old Gods. And the power levels in different directions, as well as the existence of a power far higher than the power of the Lost Land, all attracted the greed of the old gods, allowing them to see the opportunity to break through. ”
"And then?" As soon as they heard the story, the two girls' eyes lit up and they asked questions again and again. Maybe they all listen to it as an adventure story, but in Lin's ears, this is a proper historical secret.
It's just that the people who listen don't have that self-awareness, and the people who speak don't care. So Fen continued, "I let out the news that a certain god had obtained the Ruler Shard, and that one was kind enough to be angry, loudly declaring that he had not received anything, and sending countless Heroic Spirits to hunt me down. ”
"Isn't it like the teacher said, trying to cover up."
"yes, I want to cover it up. In short, the other gods also took the bait, because the rumors were not fiction, but true. Therefore, in response to the snatching of the fragments of the Dominator, a divine war was launched between the gods, which was also fatal to them. No one wants to give up the opportunity to break through and surpass other gods so easily. And the gods to compete for are not only to take away the opportunity of other gods to advance, but also to fight for their own chance to surpass the gods. So the first result of my god-slaughtering cause came from the great battle between the gods. ”
"But sister, haven't you thought about using it yourself, and then slaughtering the gods after studying the mysteries of the Dominator?"
"At that time, hatred was clouded, and I didn't think about it so much. Fortunately, I didn't do that at the beginning. ”
"What's wrong?"
"The gods who study the power of the Dominator, not knowing which tendon went wrong, actually opened the barrier of the world and welcomed the true body of the Dominator, of course, those who are willing to come and can come. Then, everyone is finished together. ”
"Let's all finish together?" Harumi was puzzled by such a word.
"It's like the literal one, everyone is finished together." Fen emphasized it again before continuing, "All those who are contaminated with the power of the Dominator have fallen into varying degrees of madness, even me. And the group of gods who studied deeply became the first victims after the invasion of the Dominators. Those who can survive are some unknown gods who are not qualified to compete for the torso of the Dominator in the previous war. And these gods can't escape my butcher's knife. Eventually, all the gods enter into infinite reincarnation. Keep resurrecting, keep being hunted by me. ”
"And what about the invading Dominators after that?" It was Kaya who asked. She keenly asked about the powerful beings who had no place in history.
"The Dominator, though dangerous, is not evil. In other words, everything they have heard in history is actually just their instinct, but it is judged from the perspective of human beings. It's like you're walking down the road and don't care what bugs you step on. When a mosquito stops on your face, you will only slap it to death. Humans and gods are just like that for the Dominators. Therefore, when the land is overshadowed by the instinct of the Dominator, and all people fear Him and dare not speak of Him again, they naturally turn away from our world. ”
