Chapter 559, Fight for the King of Hades!
Waterdeep has a lot to boast about, but few places are as central to so many legends as the Black Rod Tower.
As the residence of the archmage Kelburn Aurosan, the tower often had to receive visiting princes and nobles and famous explorers, and people from all over Ferren always came to seek Kelburn's advice on politics and magic, so the Black Rod Tower had neither doors nor windows.
In this way, when the apprenticed mages and young and bored adventurers saw the tower's undulating appearance, they would retreat. However, after a few glasses of mead, Kyleburn is happy to admit that he hid the portal only because he liked the mystery it brings.
When the warm light of dawn stains the horizon red, what happens on the dome of the tower will give rise to new legends and rumors. A powerful spell far beyond the abilities of Kelburn and most mortal mages mages masked the strange flashes and shouting spell-casting sounds here.
The powerful and intricate magic that Kelburn had cast on the tower had failed to detect the dangerous intruder, and the unaware archmage was counting the results on the front lines of the Moon Sea.
Even if Kyleburn had dissolved the spell and happened to spot the mysterious intruder, he wouldn't have believed his eyes.
The god of thieves - Meske.
Musk is alone drawing arcane runes on the skulls of four flying dragons.
When the work was done, the god of thieves placed the vicious skull in the center of the carefully carved compass on the ground, aligned the four directions, and examined the three thick candles in a semicircle again, well, they were still burning, and they were still facing the trapdoor that opened from the inside out.
He picked up a vial of spider blood and began drawing an ancient rune that was said to have existed long before the fall of the mythical city of Mistrano, or before Waterdeep became a minor trade war on the border of the northern tundra. His hands trembled as he finished his work, but neither the drawing nor the effect of the runes were affected.
Good, good, very good.
The god of thieves, Meske, completed the final step of the sealing ceremony, and sat down in a circle of candles, waiting for the arrival of the deceased.
The god of thieves did not participate in this great struggle, nor did he appear at the call of the pantheon, he had his own business to do.
Mesk, who has the Conspiracy Priesthood, and relying on this priesthood and his intense kleptomantism, the God of Thieves discovers that Shirek is secretly writing a book that has the power to change the order of the entire multiverse.
This is really pleasing to the god of thieves.
What could be more pleasing to the god of thieves than infiltrating Ciric's stronghold and stealing the artifact, which symbolizes the apex power of the multiverse?
Not at all!
But before that, Musk must find a way to control Kozf, the god of thieves knows that the city of discord is raging, Aaron and Shirek are engaged in a final showdown, this is a golden opportunity, and Kozf knows the key to entering Shirek's realm through the noisy air tunnel.
A deafening roar drowned out the rest of Maxke's confident words, and let fear seep deep into the marrow of the gods.
Waves of chaos swept over gods and mortals, and the apparition of Mesk stumbled back, leaving the protective array, his hands clasped tightly over his ears.
Kozf had overwhelmed him before he could scream.
The Chaos Dog slammed into him, dragging him away from the candles and protective runes, as the roar continued, disrupting any thought of escape or defense in the storm of sound.
The dog's breath turned into a corrosive acid mist in the cold winter air, dripping on Maxke's face and chest, and flesh running down his bones.
"Come out, Meske," Kozv's voice rumbled, "face me yourself, coward." ”
The apparition of the god beneath the Chaos Dog vanished without a trace, and Kozf discovered that it was an illusion.
The Ancient Evil's previous battle with Aaron had consumed so much strength that Kozf was weak and hungry, and he was anxious to get enough energy.
Maiske, a bold god, actually used himself as bait!
"Hunger dulls your senses." Standing in the center of the tower, Meske said very gracefully, "I need to borrow your power, Chaos Dog. ”
The scales and arcs of the candle circle are dazzling, more dazzling than the dawn of the Shining City.
The patterns begin to close. Engulfing Kozv like a fishing net, the unbreakable knot sealed the grid above the dog's head, and the remaining skulls fused together to form a delicate lock.
The God of Conspiracy turned to face the Chaos Dog, "We should have used this against you last time, Kozv, but pathetic good people like Mystra refuse to accept mortal sacrifices. ”
Musk erased the runes with his foot, destroying them was the final step of the trap, and a bright red flame struck the last candle, forming a puff of smoke at the top of the tower, hovering like the palm of a giant's hand.
It folded into a fist around the roaring and struggling Chaos Dog, dragging him into the candle.
"Ciric!" As he disappeared into the wax prison, Kozv shouted, "Revenge for me!" ”
"Oh, he'll give it back, but not to me." Maxke laughed: "Oh, Kelburn, you did a good job, you did a good job, you actually relied on the power of silver fire to temporarily control the Chaos Demon Dog, very good, this is Mistra's will, as long as you go against Ciric, you are a good voter of Mistra!" ”
The Lord of Shadows squinted his eyes at his work, and it was good, everything was perfect. When the protective spell is lifted, Ciric discovers that his loyal dog has been ambushed...... Musk smiled, and the Prince of Lies would immediately show his displeasure to Mystra and Santilburg.
The finger of the God of Intrigue twisted the candle in his glove, and the mystery he left behind at the top of the Black Rod Tower would puzzle the wise men and streets of the Radiant City for decades, and its effects would soon be revealed in the realm of the gods.
As for Mystra's anger, this naturally couldn't be hidden for too long, and the black rod would know what was going on as long as he communicated with Midnight.
But Maiske was sure that he had the means to appease the third generation of the Goddess of Magic.
Because the man's soul is in his hands!
Musk picks up the candle that sealed Kozf, the Chaos Dog.
This candle will open the way for him to travel from the Noisy Void to the core realm of Cirek.
…………
Aaron landed outside the City of Discord.
Sixty thousand Chaos Demons and 120,000 Chaos armies are attacking the City of Discord.
The City of Strife is burning.
Flames swept through the strange skyscrapers of the horizon, and heavy clouds of smoke pressed against the ruins of the city, obscuring everything that came into contact with them. In the furnace-like heat, the River of Dread began to boil, steaming hot.
Above the broken bricks, the Sadistic Chosen Kur-Crowns is confronting a dozen undead monarchs.
More than fifty skulls and an equal number of broken and deformed weapons piled up in front of Kuhl-Crownus, warning the monarchs of Hades to be careful, and although the Sadist God in front of him seemed to be slow in his heavy armor, he proved time and time again that the equipment was far less in the way it seemed.
So the undead monarchs slowly climbed up the brick and metal wreckage, but their caution did nothing.
A legendary undead monarch braver or more reckless than the rest of his companions stabbed at Guangus, and with a wave of his hand, the flaming axe split the tip and shaft in half with a wave of his hand.
Then he lunged forward, and the undead monarch's ribcage shattered with a thud, and broken bones rolled down the hill like stones from the eaves.
Other undead monarchs used the sacrifice of their comrades as a signal for siege, but Hades' weapons were as vulnerable to armor forged from the Brass Forge as a wooden toy.
Crowns turned, and an axe and sword swept across the bodies of the besieging enemies like windmills, bones shattering, and skulls falling from empty necks.
The undead monarchs guarding Hades retreated, and Crowns stopped and looked out over the battlefield.
Hordes of ghosts roamed the square, some armed with swords, clubs, or barbed whips snatched from the demons, while others used sundries as weapons.
The horrefuge of the Chosen of Sadism was the disgusting discovery that there was no blood to be shed to slay the enemies of Hades, only the skull was still intact, which greatly weakened his interest in conquering the place.
The golden light flickered, and Aaron fell from the sky.
When the flaming Golden Law slammed into the ground, a powerful blast of fire spread around it, burning everything around it, whether it was the ruins of buildings or the undead creatures that inhabited it, leaving only the blackened shadows of the ground to show that they had once existed.
The bone dragons in the air noticed the new uninvited guest, they turned around, concentrated all the ashes dragon breath on their bodies and fired at the Golden Law Behemoth, but the dragon breath was evaporated the moment it hit the Golden Law Behemoth, and the giant beast ignored the bone spirit fire rain pouring towards it and rushed forward, and the bone dragon also raised its claws and waited for it, and the existence beyond the laws of physics was thus on the upgraded version of the ultimate creature of the realm.
It didn't take long for the victory to be decided, and under the roar of the Golden Rule Behemoth, shattered bones rained down like drops.
As the Golden Rule behemoth slammed into the bone dragons, the bone dragons staggered to their stomachs and fell to the ruins, and Draconion made a cut in the surface of their bodies, pouring his own hot breath into it. With a wail, Aaron set fire to every part of the bone dragon's body, and the undead's body began to swell and heat up, then exploded with a loud bang, sending the remnants of tissue flying everywhere.
"His Royal Highness the King of Gold." The Sadistic Chosen Curl Crowns came to Aaron's side: "We are winning this war. ”
"Blood Killing Band, Skull Crusher Warband, Death Bringer Warband, all advance!" Seeing that Aaron didn't answer, Guangus continued, "Kabanha has captured the Raven Fortress, and this false god is about to be cornered!" ”
Aaron waved his hand contemptuously, attacking the City of Discord is only a means, not an end, even if he does capture Hades, it is not easy for him to become the Lord of Hades, because the core priesthood he has set for himself is [Chaos], not [Dead].
Now that he has mastered [Strife] and [Kill] is halfway there, what he should have done should be to go to the bottomless abyss to hunt Rose's spider head.
However, he couldn't let Ciric go, otherwise Ciric, as a powerful god, might stab him in the back at any time.
Therefore, the purpose of this battle is to solve the threat of Shirek and make him lose most of his power, as long as Jaeger realizes that Shirek cannot control and defend Hades, and the god of the end of all things will naturally have other options.
As for Aaron himself...... He looked at the Chaos army around him.
He knew that the moment he became a god was also the moment when he officially turned against the four gods of chaos!
…………
The Prince of Lies sat motionless on his throne of bones, allowing the outside world to reach his ears.
The battle cries of the Chaos Demon Army could already be faintly heard in his throne room, and Jaeger standing in front of the throne was silent, and the mummy was unaware of the chaos outside.
The master and the servant remained silent for a long time, and Ciric's expression was always cloudy, sometimes manic, sometimes resentful, sometimes low, sometimes excited, and he clutched his sword, the Sword of the Calamity.
The sword had been with Him since the beginning of his adventure, and after the loss of Midnight, it was His beloved.
"Your Majesty." Finally, with a terrifying skull cannon bombarding near the throne room, Jaeger finally couldn't help it: "You should go out to meet the enemy, although Aaron Salian and his Chaos army outside are strong, you are still a powerful god." ”
"Enough!" Jaeger's words made Hiric furious, and the Lord of Hades screamed madly, and the catastrophic unsheath was put on Jaeger's neck: "You are not qualified to command me! I am the Lord of Hades!! ”
"Yes, you are the Lord of Hades, but that's why Hades needs you so much." Jaeger hung his head.
"It's a conspiracy, isn't it?" Ciric frantically grabbed Jaeger's chest and pulled his mummy head in front of him, "Why don't you fight?" You want to trick me into fighting so that I can subvert my power here, I know, I know, you all look down on me! They all look down on my origins! Look down on the crown that AO gave me!! ”
"No one looks down on you, Your Majesty." Jaeger trembled and said, "I'm just humbly reminding you as a servant that as the owner of the crown, you should have this responsibility!" ”
"That's what AO ordered! Not me! Nothing has the right for me to obey any laws made by false gods other than me! Hirek was so tired of such words that he sneered, "One more nonsense, and I'll nourish my Scourge Sword with your mummified blood!" ”
Jaeger stopped talking.
Ciric coldly searched in Jaeger's eyes, and found no dissatisfaction or disdain for the time being, so he threw Jaeger to the ground.
The sudden feeling of vertigo forced Ciric to fall back to his throne, the King of Hades had lost two crowns, he was afraid, he needed to wait for the avatar to get something that could turn the tide of battle.
The Shri Sutra.
