Chapter 5: Deep Sea Soul Beasts
Whoa...
The pouring rain washed over the harbor in the darkness of the night, and Helo was dragged all the way down the central avenue.
His hair was messy, his raincoat was cut two or three times, and his hem was in tatters.
Even the short knife, Helo didn't dare to put it on his body because of its size, and casually threw it on the side of the road on a rainy night.
He was surrounded by completely mutated fish-man monsters, their slippery scales squeezing his body from time to time, causing him to smell foul as well.
Evil murmurs lingered in my ears.
"Kill them all, chop them up and feed them to the fish!"
"Fill the gap in the offerings of the deep sea... The souls of the dead in the depths of the sea will be satisfied! ”
"No... They killed Grimm and they want to kill us, and our homes will be destroyed by them! ”
Helo couldn't find the source of the sound, and in the middle of the monster herd, he was forced to accept these cold, evil, and inearable muttering.
Seeing that he was almost at the end of the avenue, there was no news of the magician from the fishman who was exploring the path in front of him.
Auntie asked Khlo instead.
"Helo, where are the sorcerers?"
Ever since collecting the rune nails, Herro has tried it, and whenever he infuses his weak soul energy, he always feels a hint of blockage, and the source of the blockage can also sense the direction in the dark.
The other hand hidden in the raincoat, the rune iron nail held was slightly hot, and from time to time it felt the direction of the blocking source.
Hearing his aunt's question, Helo pointed in one direction without hesitation.
Hearing this, the aunt's already ugly face was even more ugly because of the lock of her brows.
As a native of the port, she knew every inch of this place, and if it was an ordinary person, even if he hid in the drainage ditch, they would have a way to find and find people.
But the group of sorcerers didn't know how to block out her perception.
And Helo was so clear about their direction.
She also guessed that Helo must have reservations in order to save his life, and it was useless to force him to ask, could it be that he would deceive the uncles and aunts who raised him in the port?
After all, those magicians are outsiders, and who would help those despicable strangers instead of helping their neighbors who know their roots.
Therefore, she only treated Herlo the way she did before.
Imprisoned, not killed.
Although he was embarrassed, Helo was always very calm in his heart, constantly adjusting his posture, and waiting for the time to get out.
That's when it happened.
A loud wail came from a nearby dock, piercing through the rain.
"I'm going back, I'm not going to take part in the semester assessment, teaching assistant! Teaching assistants, where are you! ”
It's a sorcerer!
Helo could clearly feel the restlessness of the fishmen around him, but this sudden wail was obviously very strange.
When the aunt heard this, her expression became even more gloomy.
Only then did she realize that the sorcerers might have disrupted the [Deep Sea Sacrifice].
For the inhabitants of the port, this is a sacrifice, and if you prepare enough sacrifices, the deep sea will give them blessings, and of course the deep sea imprint on your body will become more and more profound.
And for the Imperial Warlocks... That's the [Deep Sea Regurgitation].
At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the role of the port was to serve as an outpost for expeditions into the deep sea, but even the magicians of the Grand Duke rank were defeated in the face of the forbidden realm of the deep sea, which could cut off the soul circuit, which slowed down the progress of the expedition for a time until it failed.
And [Deep Sea Retaliation] is the deep sea forbidden domain devoured too many sorcerers' souls during the Great Expedition, causing an offshore anomaly.
For the deep-sea system, this kind of mutation is of course the feedback of the deep-sea to them, which can make them further strengthened.
However, for the imperial side, this is undoubtedly a weakening of the empire's territory and its subjects.
It's just that most of the [Deep Sea Backlash] have no precursors, resulting in many times after disasters occur, the sorcerers of the town guard are late.
And those believers in the deep sea have already sensed the message from the deep sea, and they are full of fat in the sacrifice.
The sound that came from the dock just now was unfamiliar to Helo, maybe the other three male sorcerer apprentices.
Helo didn't know what terrible things had happened to the guy inside, but listening to the desperate tone, he could guess that something very terrible was probably going on in the dockyard.
Auntie also guessed, her brows furrowed, and the hand that grabbed Helo not only did not let go, but even pulled it closer.
A scream came out of his mouth.
The fishmen, who were already a little restless around them, seemed to have received some kind of order, and they all screamed and rushed forward.
"Knock"
Before the fish-man could figure out the situation.
The wooden door of the dock is open, no! It should be said that it is poured.
The heavy wooden door slammed against the blackstone pavement bricks, tearing apart,
At this time, a guy covered in blood ran out in a panic.
The majestic rain couldn't wash away the blood on his body for a while, and after the rain, he looked like a bloody man without skin.
The blood of the big pool flowed down the rainwater to the low-lying places, along the cracks in the stone slabs, and soon accumulated in a depression.
When the guy saw the large number of fishmen in front of him, he didn't have a trace of fear, but a kind of excitement and madness, and even the face covered in blood and water had more contours of his facial features.
"Fishman!"
The tone also became ecstatic, paused, and shouted with a pant: "Let's bury together, no one can escape, this time it is not only the [Deep Sea Retaliation], even the dean's prediction has been wrong." ”
Helo was not short, but behind the tall fish-man, he could only see some through the gaps, but now with the guy's nonsense, the fish-man in front blocked him tightly, and he could only listen, fortunately, his five senses improved, otherwise it would be really difficult to hear clearly in the rainstorm.
Dean?
Sounds like a sorcerer still has the ability to predict the future?
By the aunt's orders, the man was caught in front of him by a hideous fishman.
Helo looked at the blood stains on his body, and couldn't find the existence of the wound all of a sudden, and felt a little strange in his heart: "The rain has washed away for so long, and the blood on his body has faded a lot, but why can't he find the wound, could it be that the blood is oozing out of the pores?" ”
Is it human? Or is it a monster?
In the expansion pack on the official website, most of the creatures in the Sorcer's world have been conquered by the Sorcerer, but there is one creature whose soul essence is very similar to that of the Sorcerer, which leads to the fact that the Sorcerer cannot completely conquer them, and can only seek a way to coexist and cooperate.
There are no monsters, and some of them have been imprisoned and studied by those high-level magicians.
Then there is only the existence of soul beasts.
The aunt asked solemnly, "What about the rest of you?" What about the baronial sorcerer? ”
"Teaching assistants... He was gone, he was gone the moment it appeared, he must have left us in fear and fled back to the imperial capital, I said how could such a bad person be responsible for the assessment! ”
The man's eyes were full of anger, and when he spoke of the other companions, he seemed to remember something, and said with a cry:
"As for them... They're all dead! He's dead!
Originally, I thought it was just a small [Deep Sea Retaliation], after all, the port has always been under the jurisdiction of the Empire, and the ritual that used to be an outpost still exists, even if it is blocked by your lowly fishmen, there is no problem in completing this assessment.
But! But what is held up by the offshore tides is not a trash fish at all! That thing was just a tentacle, and it sucked Fani up! All of us have had our soul circuits cut off, and we can't use soul magic at all!
Its tentacles are everywhere in the deep sea, as if they are playing with us, let's play games with it? We can only run, you know how it feels to be in the rough black waters, something chasing you from behind! ”
His emotions grew more and more agitated.
But from his words, both Helo and his aunt were sure.
That monster is a soul beast from the deep sea.
A soul beast that can cut off the soul circuit of the sorcerer and hold the authority of the deep sea forbidden realm.
What are you kidding, this kind of thing doesn't belong to any party at all, people are chaotic and evil!
Believers stained with the mark of the deep sea?
That's what people usually eat as a snack.
Perhaps the sorcerers were more appealing to it, after all, it was an uncommon delicacy.
