Chapter 2: The Underground Temple
“Púréa!”
An obscure incantation, echoing in the night sky.
In the square, the area with the highest concentration of rats.
A large patch of sticky black grease suddenly appeared on the ground.
The rats are stuck in the grease and will fall after crawling two steps, covered in grease.
A young man named Andy, his red hair fluttering in the wind like a raging fire.
Early Tier 2, Fire Elemental Warlock.
Before Ingres' birth, he was once considered the most likely to join the Randolph family and marry Pamela.
Even Andy himself thinks so.
Now the situation has changed.
Pamela can't decide on her husband.
However, the elders of the family, as well as herself, don't mind that she has a few male pets to play with in addition to her formal spouse.
Just like her aunts and aunts.
Sitting in a harem surrounded by beautiful men is a kind of enjoyment.
Andy needs to prove that at least he still has the value of being a spare tire.
This team mission is a good opportunity to work hard.
Towards the rats, cast 2 rings of "Fuel Technique".
Andy's hands are stretched forward, and his five fingers are fanned out.
Fiery magic surged in his palm.
“úré!”
Spit out a spell that symbolizes "searing".
Andy's ten fingers spew flames together!
Ten slender pillars of fire five meters long, together forming a cone-shaped fan, swept forward.
The grease was ignited everywhere, and it turned into a sea of fire.
Numerous giant rats were trapped in a sea of fire.
The flames rushed to the body, ignited the grease, and burned mercilessly.
The dying giant rat reverts back to human form.
Rolling in the fire, wailing in despair.
……
“Carir!”
The third member of the investigation team, Duke, casts a 1-ring "ice-making spell" on a group of rat-men.
Under their feet, the flat ground creates a smooth surface of ice.
The nezumi focused on shooting with a crossbow, not noticing the changes in the ground.
Suddenly, I noticed that the soles of my feet were slippery, and I fell on the ice one after another.
Duke sneered and drew his saber and activated his atavistic transformation!
Two months ago, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the first rank of "White Dragon Warlock".
Awakened the "Ice Crafting Technique" and the Tier 1 "Atavistic Transformation".
Pale dragon scales, slowly clinging to Duke's body.
The hands also turned into a pair of hideous and sharp dragon claws.
Duke, who is half a dragon and half human, strode onto the ice.
In his atavistic form, he can walk freely on smooth ice, as if he had a suction cup on the soles of his feet.
The nezumi who fell on the ice had just been able to get up when they were choked by the pale dragon claws.
Poof!
The claws pierced his throat, blood gushing out.
Duke stuck out his long, forked tongue and licked the hot blood from his hands.
A pair of cold vertical pupils, flashing with a cruel and bloodthirsty light.
……
Angel stood with Alan.
Just like when I was on the boat.
“Alcar!”
A handsome young man with a sickly face, dressed in a black robe, chanted a mantra softly.
Angel raised his hand to point at the rat colony.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
Brilliant rainbow light erupted from his sleeve, forming a cone-shaped wave, and pushed forward horizontally.
Under the shroud of the "colorful spray", the giant rats fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
A very small number of particularly strong ones barely fainted, but they were also shocked and temporarily blinded.
Genius boy Ingre, how high is his mental power?
On the way to Magic Stone Island by boat, Alan was curious, and with the help of the gluttonous system, he deduced Angel's attributes.
The results of the calculation left him speechless.
Attributes: Physique 8, Agility 16, Spirit 28
A newly promoted Rank 1 Warlock, this spiritual attribute ...... Isn't that a bit outrageous?
It's not just outrageous, it's just outrageous!!
Eren fused the blood of the poison demon, ate special ingredients, and took supplements like crazy, and now he only has 21 spiritual attributes.
21 spiritual attributes, as far as a Tier 1 Warlock is concerned, it is actually very good.
The question is, who are you up against.
Ingres, this little demon, is really too rebellious!
The higher the mental attributes of a warlock, the more lethal and controllable the spell will be.
The 1-ring spell "Colorful Spray" is a typical field control magic.
The group of giant rats on the other side, who have fallen for Angels' spell, don't expect to rely on their own willpower to resist mind control.
Wait for death!
Take advantage of the rat colony to be intimidated by Angels' spell.
Alan pulled out a vial of acid.
Use it as a spell casting material to cast a "water control spell" on the rats.
Rain patterns!
The acid in the bottle quietly evaporates.
At the same time, a drizzling acid rain fell in the night sky, all of which fell on the rats.
It's like taking a sulfuric acid bath.
In the blink of an eye, the rats were all corroded to a blur of flesh and blood.
There was a snorting sound all over his body, and sour white smoke came out.
collapsed in the acid, kicked his legs one after another and lost his breath.
A dying giant rat, finally freed from the shock, struggled to crawl out of the acid-ridden area.
Blood flowed all over his body, and a scarlet rut trail dragged out behind him.
Angel slowly raised his right hand.
Pale and slender fingertips, five purple balls of light emerged.
1 ring "Magic Missile", about to be released.
Eren raised his hand to stop him.
"It's not worth wasting magic on a dying mouse."
Angel was slightly stunned.
He has too much magic to use up, and he doesn't know what "waste" is.
Allen's next sentence successfully convinces him to give up spellcasting.
"Keep it for now, I'll be useful."
"yes, okay." Angel nodded, "You get busy first, I'll help the other teammates deal with the cultists." ”
Angel turned and walked over to Duke's side.
Alan followed the system prompts and walked over to the dying giant rat.
Remove two syringes and reagent bottles, and collect saliva and plasma.
Didi –
"Exposure to 'bubonic plague' germs (level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Exposure to 'pneumonic plague' germs (level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Warning! Exposure to the 'Zoomorphism (Rodents) Virus (Grade 5 Infectious Disease)!! ”
Allen's virus resistance is level 4.
Full immunity to all types of plague.
But...... Bestiality is actually a level 5 virus!
Even he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Put away the virus reagent bottle, stimulate the magic in the palm of your hand, and completely crush the needle contaminated with the beast virus and throw it into the fire.
From now on, Allen can synthesize "plague" germs and "bestiosis" viruses through his own venom glands.
In particular, the "bestiality" virus has greatly increased his anti-virulence strip.
There is still a little bit left before the virus resistance can be upgraded to level 5.
At this time, he received a system prompt again.
"Detect the smell of special ingredients!"
Alan smiled.
Magic Stone Island is really a treasure of feng shui!
……
In the battle in the square, the winner is already known.
Seeing his subordinates rushing into the streets one after another, the cult leader couldn't hold back.
Pulling at his throat, he urged the other cultists to hurry up and send it.
Oiling the soles of your feet and turning your head away!
A puff of smoke ran to the dock warehouse and opened the door to enter.
Crates are stacked in the warehouse, and there is a musty smell in the air.
In the corner, there is a very hidden iron door.
The cult leader ran to the iron gate and pulled out the key.
Crunch –
The iron gates were open.
Inside the door, there is a staircase that extends underground.
The cult leader covered the door and walked down the stairs quickly.
At the end of the stairs, there is an underground chamber.
The sacred weapon of the Beast Cult is enshrined in the secret room.
The sacristy is a statue placed in a stone niche.
A one-foot-tall statue made of what appears to be some kind of skeleton.
Over time, it has a yellowish ivory color.
The body is rat-headed, sitting cross-legged.
The styling looks a little weird.
The cult leader carefully pulled the idol out of the stone niche.
As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind me!
The leader of the cult turned his head in amazement.
I saw a tall and sturdy young man, holding his shoulders, blocking the door of the secret room.
"Little bastard! Get out of here! ”
The cult leader holds the idol in his left hand and wields a dagger in his right hand.
Trying to scare away the teenager blocking the door, he ran away.
Alan scoffed and strode closer.
"Kill you!!"
The cult leader's eyes were red, and he stabbed Allen in the heart with a knife!
Hound pace!
Dodge the dagger with ease.
Allen slapped his "bursting palm" in the chest, causing the cult leader's sternum to collapse and fly upside down.
Bang!
Like a painting, flat on the wall, slowly sliding down.
Blood is spat in the mouth, and the pupils are dilated.
Alan stepped forward and picked up the Bone Carving Statue.
He followed the system prompts and tracked all the way.
Accidentally discovered this underground temple.
This strange statue of the god is a special ingredient.
But......
It's not just special ingredients.
Eren is not an Beast Cultist.
I don't understand the religious significance of this statue.
However, when he touched the idol, he inexplicably felt his heart beat faster.
The blood all over his body seemed to be boiling.
When the ogre bloodline first awakened, it had a similar feeling......
Is it ......?
Alan opens the system page to check the changes in his bloodline.
Sure enough.
The very thin beast human blood in his body is subtly resonating with this idol worshiped by the beast cult.
