Chapter 20: The Lamb to the Slaughter

Walter Tye's teleportation spell didn't take him to Naström, but to his former shelter, right in the depths of the store. No one was able to teleport directly to the city itself, and while most of his equipment was moved deeper underground, there was one exception.

"You look terrible, human." When the necromancer enters his prison, the demon Bailey taunts him. He was the only one, and the furniture had not yet been moved to Nastrón. "What, some adventurers bully you......"

The demon froze because he realized that he was not facing a person.

Because after meeting Haier, Tye's health is depleted, his emotions are confused, and the mask of humanity has slipped away. The Goddess's wound somehow temporarily disabled his [Death Mask]'s Pe

k, which gave him the appearance of life.

His true immortal body was now exposed to everyone, which frightened the arrogant demons.

Because Tai looks hungry.

The skinned, crooked fingers of his left hand slammed the demon's head against the back wall. “[Lifed

ai

] ! (The Anko) roared and starved.

The demon let out a scream as his years were being stolen at an accelerated pace; He drained the power of his life to repair the damage of the gods. While Tye only takes a short time to recover from her flaky skin, the touch of the goddess is not so easy to erase; His body, his soul, longs for more. His flesh burns with a hunger that can only be quenched by the consumption of life itself.

When Walter Tye finally regains his human appearance and sound mind, he finds that his wounds have healed and Bailey has been sucked dry and died. Even for someone like him, the pressure was too much; The corpse had aged for thousands of years, and the demon's flesh had rotted into dusty old bones.

Your HP and SP have been fully refreshed. [Bailey, the underground demon my soul has been added to your [Death Coach].

When Tae calmed down, he looked at the demon's fossil bones in disgust.

It's a meal he can trust. He had to find another source of food.

Tay immediately cursed his impulsive reaction and vowed never to lose control again. He hadn't had such episodes in years, and they always took him back to his early years, when he was nothing more than a voracious predator wandering the night. Although [Anko] is a powerful undead creature, this incident reminds Tae that his current form is a flawed intermediate stage towards perfect immortality.

Curse that goddess and her cursed touch. Not only did she treat him like a beast to be hunted for her pleasure, but she could also hijack his [Nagelfa]. Can she stop it? No, even the goddess is not omniscient, and she cannot concentrate all her energy on one person. Although Tay's great cause eventually defeated her, he was not her only enemy.

However, the mere fact that she could lift his spell infuriated him. As he expected, the eighth echelon was not enough. He needs to upgrade his spells to level 9, or even level 10, so that he can create a magic that even Hel can't break.

Tremors and sirens from below brought him back to reality.

Summoned to him his [Forsaken Mask] and equipment, including his [Black Scepter of Apophis], the mage cast necromancy [Ghost Form] to make him invisible. He made his way through the stone wall to the cavern on the second level, where he found the vampire rats moving east in swarms.

"What happened? He asked the animals, which telepathically connected themselves to the mind of the necromancer.

Many-swarm's swarm mind sent him memories and real-time images, and throughout the second layer, the undead army clashed with the Calamity Cult. As Tai had predicted, [the ant-headed lion] dug the passage and let the other intruders, the gibberish madmen with torches and pitchforks, slip in; The lunatics use the two main passages to invade the dungeon, mostly from the east.

Apparently, they triggered his [Runes of Madness] and various magical traps that pitted the weak-willed [Antlion] against their humanoid manipulators. This made it easy for the invaders to find the orcs, who held the line until Hagen came to reinforce them.

In another cave, Sbuk slaughtered a pack of wolves and snakes the size of a horse, fighting alongside the undead warriors in packs. The mummy bled a lot and turned red all over. What do these cults hope to accomplish by sending these weak people to their end?

Unless they send the weakest army to test the defenses first, leaving the strongest servants for later?

If so, they misjudged Tye's defenses. Or maybe his plan was successful, and they thought that the necromancer was gone, and the undead would no longer be able to raise their offspring. This also explains why they are now attacking this area; A full-scale assault on a dangerous dungeon that is often raided by adventurers will draw attention.

This is confirmed by the new vision of another rat that went deep into the tunnel. Originally, these corridors led to the forest of Brocksaryad and an entire cult camp.

More precisely, the invaders set up in the wettest places of the forest, in muddy and dense vegetation; Stay away from prying eyes. What a messy party! Some are admirers or slaves of humans whose will has been shattered by charismatic magic, but most are monsters. Serpentine or amphibian humanoids, a flock of winged harpies, giant goblins (Bugbea

s), praying mantis and beasts, animated trees, some ogres......

They even had a twelve-headed hydra with green scales, locked up like a pet. What a great gift, just when Tay was looking for it.

Despite this, many colonies counted that there were at least 200 hostile creatures in the area. Why didn't anyone notice this small army quietly entering the area without raising the alarm? Tay felt powerful magic at work, even through the eyes of his rats. Witch's magic.

A large gathering of witches.

The rat turned to a witch's hut in the middle of the camp and rested on four legs. The necromancer identified it as a rare house mimic, a monster capable of transforming into the shape of a walking house.

The devotees all wore strange thorn pendants with two snakes intertwined into an S-shaped symbol, which he knew was the symbol of Loki, but one of the snakes was designed to represent the Midgard serpent, Yomon Gandall; The other reptile has a wolf's head.

"Can you come into the hut?" Tay asks the hive mind of the mouse.

"There is no invitation," it replied, "not so much words as feelings."

Then stare at that area, remembering the scent of each creature for later use. Don't reveal your location. ”

After the medium's contact is over, the necromancer moves towards Hagen's location, and more cultists will arrive soon.

"[Hell Gaze]," Tay began to cast a spell on himself, his eyes turning into fiery red pits and symbols appearing on his skin. "[Elemental Veil], [Fallen Ward], [Death Siphon], [Rune Skin], [Rune Reflector]."

[Hell's gaze] allows him to see through visions and intimidate those who meet his gaze; [Elemental Veil] protects him from elemental attacks, while [Fallen Refuge] increases his stats. [Death Siphon] will drain the lives of those who have died near him, while [Rune Skin] will increase his damage resistance, and [Rune Reflex] will send weak enemy spells to the sender.

Through the tunnel, Tye enters a large mine, similar to the one his decoy used to fight Princess Avalon. A second wave of terrible cultists invaded the underground hall through the corridors, only to die at the hands of the defenders. Hagen and Duke formed the vanguard, while the orcs pierced the enemy with arrows. Goblin leader, the Bone Eater of the Ear of the Gods, bestows her Bone Bow [Mind Seeker] with fire magic and incinerates any cultists who slip away from the undead elite.

"Thirty?" Hagen asked, his mace disintegrating a human worshipper in a burst of dark magic.

"Count it yourself." Duke replied, disemboweled, and a werewolf screamed and ran out of the tunnel.

At the back of the mine, one of Tai's alchemical cauldrons spews gas-producing slime at enemies, but to no avail. Unlike human adventurers, these fearsome cultists have an unnatural ability to recover and safely inhale gases......

Or they have the antidote of the Academy. He needs to dissect a bit to be sure.

"[Death X]," Tay floated in the cult and killed seven people on the spot, leaving the rest startled. His arrival boosted the morale of his army, and their battles intensified.

However, this joy was short-lived, as a tsunami of black thorns broke through the tunnel, shattering the stones and forcing his soldiers to disperse.

"Terrible wilting." Tai's spell evaporates the water from the thorns, instantly turning the plant into dry dust. However, this widened the tunnel, sending a new wave into the mine.

This new unit, made up of animals and half-animals, is even more impressive than the previous ones. A group of brown-haired goblins are attacked with short swords and daggers, along with eight wobbly zombies. A pack of pythons, centipedes, mutant crabs, and an agile panther cover them behind.

"Like they say, it's your funeral!" Kurakan commented, waving his scepter in the biting cold, then crushing a youkai's face. Meanwhile, Tay is smiling under the mask. It's been a long time since he's cast his arcane arts, not like he did to princesses...... He didn't have to back down.

Tay casually uses his [Undead Mastery] skill to enslave the mindless undead, and he pits them against their living allies before supporting his troops with instant death spells. Driven by hunter instincts, Duke killed the Panther with a precise attack, while the slimes held back the vanguard and the goblins remained behind.

"Apparently the druids are doing the trick," Ty thought as he observed the composition of the enemy army. Maybe a [black magician] or [mind] magic expert, considering some cults seem to be [obsessed]. He knew that the Calamity Cult often used spells to break the will of others, brainwash them, and make them worship their masters.

They were all done in a short period of time, and Tye nonchalantly completed the last bug of Death X.

"46?" Hagen suddenly asked Duke, who was surrounded by corpses.

"Forty-two," the bloodied zombie lord complained.

“51”。 The undead looked at the leader of the orcs, the "fateful" bone-eater, who proudly raised her bow. “51”。

"There are hundreds of people up there, and their troops are better," Tye said. Not to mention, absolute numerical superiority. "Blow up and denounce these tunnels. I'm going to go out on the water and scatter them. ”

"People?" Kuone asked, surprised.

"Alone." Tay confirmed, then floated across the ceiling. If a witch assembly is involved, he can't risk sending his army into a magical firefight.

Fly to the surface of the water and make your way through the woods like a ghost. He felt some kind of magical barrier holding him back, but he easily crossed and surrounded the cult camp.

The necromancer raises his scepter and summons one of his deadliest spells. "An Enhanced Storm."

A huge flaming cloud exploded in the center of the camp, burning everything in between. The sheepfold turned to charcoal-burned ashes, the men turned into burning skeletons, and the monsters fled as the flames devoured their flesh. Panic spread throughout the camp, and the believers either fled screaming or tried to put up a futile resistance. Tye uses his magic to protect himself from the flames, and he lands in a ruin, blasting everyone with lightning.

He felt his SP reserves degrade at an accelerated rate, and activated his [Bloodletting Ring].

You can draw 300 HP to heal yourself or fuel spells.

He can do this by using his [Blood Curse] Pe

k to drain his own life, but with Bailey's death, he can no longer easily regain health.

The elephant-sized hydra broke its chains, and unlike the cowardly cultists, it rushed straight into Tye's flames. The necromancer looked up at the monster and looked it straight in the eye. "Gorgon's gaze."

The Hydra turned into a stone statue, and Tay kept it for later use.

When the smoke cleared, the camp turned into a gray-white desert, and his fire spread through the surrounding woods.

Only the witch's hut was intact, blocked by the swirling magical wind. "Fuck off, witches." Tai warned. "Before I burn your hut on fire"

For a moment, he seemed to get no answer; So the necromancer raised his scepter.

As soon as he spoke, the wind blew through the swamp, with maddening whispers and strange sounds. The words tried to become ingrained in his mind, even bypassing his natural resistance to this curse.

[Charm] and [Crazy [Denied] Forbidden Robes].

Out of nowhere, the sky darkened, and the rain fell to extinguish his furious flames. Steam covered the swamp like a faint white mist, making it look very ominous.

"Naughty lich." The door opened, and an old woman's voice came from inside the room. "You're going to burn down an old and frail witch's only house?"

If anything, Tay has to admire their sense of drama.

As he suspects, the inhabitants of the lodge are a witch assembly of three witches, each with its own horrors. The first was a three-meter-tall half-giant, hunchbacked, a terrifying figure with blue skin, glowing yellow eyes, long, sharp teeth, and claw-like fingers. She was dressed in a bloody wolf skin and wore two bracelets made from a child's fingers on both hands.

The second is a green-skinned woman, younger than her companions, but no less terrifying; Her long fingers crackled with lightning, and her long black hair fluttered in the wind. She wore a shabby midwife's gown and smirked at Tae with her green, rotten teeth.

The final member of the trio was a scrawny, gray-skinned woman with scratching bloody claws on her fingers and goat horns peeking out from beneath her long black hair. Fierce and terrifying, she wears a robe made of fairy skinning and a sparkling ruby on her forehead.

This giant is a [Grendel], a greedy child-eater; Lightning user [Cailleach], Storm Witch; Tai recognizes the last one as the Night Witch, the most dangerous of all, with the power to control dreams. Each one is a formidable opponent, but at the same time the creatures of the three races become stronger as they form three groups, combining their magic to produce various effects.

For example, manipulating the weather.

"You may be old, but you're certainly not weak," Tye said, and the trio confronted him with hunger, vigilance, and curiosity. "Black Annie, Greentooth Jenny, the last one must be the Dream Eater."

"Oh, what a well-educated young wizard." Black Anne, the hunchbacked witch, fainted with joy. "He'd heard those stories."

Greentooth Jenny giggled and said, "All the stories are scary, and they're true."

"I didn't know you formed a witch society, though." The necromancer replied that he believed that these murderous witches acted independently. At least judging by the heads of the royal bounty, they did. "I didn't know you were allied with the Cult of Calamity."

"Oh, we don't ally with anyone." The Night Witch giggled in disgust, her teeth sharp like wolf's. "We always lead and sometimes we serve."

As he suspected, each one represented a different catastrophe. It is likely that the Storm Witch served Jomongander, Grundel Fenrir, and the last Loki.

"The Cataclysm has a huge and terrible magic, and to learn it, we have to bargain." Black Anne rubbed her hands together and explained. "Maybe we can make a deal. You want to learn more than you know, and we have to set up shop in this place too. Our oath of never betrayal. ”

"You think I'm a naïve peasant?" Knowing their reputation, Tai replied; Although the reviews of opening the store bothered him. Why was the first group to try diplomacy the only one he couldn't trust?" This place belongs to me. Leave or die. ”

"Maybe we don't." The smirk on the face of "disgust" was even greater, like a wolf sniffing weakness. "You welcome our son."

Their son?

It can't be......

"Three mothers." Tay narrowed his eyes behind the mask. "Medlot once told me that he was raised by three mothers."

"It's us, though he rejects the path that the trio has set for him." "But he came back after he died, for what he missed in his lifetime. The child will always return to the mother. ”

"Does he know who I am?" Tay asked, his fingers gripping the scepter.

"Loathly's card told us what time we arrived," Je

Y said in a rough voice. "We see your true face and your black heart in the stew. No teeth, no warmth. There is only darkness. ”

They know.

Knowing this information must be a powerful divination, especially if he doesn't know it. Tai had to assume that they could spy on him anytime and anywhere.

"I only allow you to enter Maderot, but for you, there is no salvation." The necromancer said, collecting his magic. "If you see my face, then you must take this knowledge to the grave."

"We're going to take the secrets with us, but not to Hellheim," Jenny warned.

"We're going to boil your rotten meat with salt." Black Anne licked her lips.

"Unless we come to a deal," Lossley said, "to share this tree, to share its power and pain." ”

They know too much.

Still in his [Oniform] state, Tye pointed his scepter at them and unleashed a powerful fireball in their direction. The dominatrix clasped their hands together, and a wall of power bounced in front of them, holding the cannonballs in place.

"Rude child, didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders?" He laughed desperately as the thunder echoed in the sky. A massive lightning bolt fell on the necromancer, and black, thorny vines emerged from the ashes. "Blackthorn Lee!"

Nature itself was also opposed to Walter Tay.

To protect yourself from lightning, A

Kou used [Spirit Shield] to kill all the plants around him, although his spell didn't hurt the witch. However, more thorns popped up, combining with the shape of a humanoid golem.

“Deathlo

D Aura!" Tai unleashed a massive pulse of necrotic energy around the area, and the corpses of the incinerated heretics turned into mindless undead. The walking corpse and the thorn golem engage in a battle to the death.

Fit.

The witches made more use of the magic of their witch group, and the clouds shone with magic. The thunder was deafening, and the whole forest trembled.

"[Blizzard], [Acceleration Acceleration]." As his speed increased, the necromancer unleashed an arctic whirlwind from his ghostly fingertips, freezing plants in its path and piercing the witch's shield. Since the witches may be too high to use instant death spells, Tye will kill them in a difficult way.

Jenny the Storm Witch was the first to react, erecting a rotating wind barrier around the witch group to protect them from the ice and snow. While it worked, it also forced her to break the shackles of the witches' gathering, thus breaking the magical bond between them.

While being protected, the Night Witch sped herself up in disgust, and the third member of the trio rushed straight towards Tye. She tossed the skeleton and golem aside with great force, foaming at the wolf-like mouth and glowing with a curse in her nails.

Tay used his ring as an extra reserve, and before Black Anne could touch him, he used his informability to fly above her, her hands grabbing the air. "Kiss me, child!" She laughed at him, and the necromancer spewed a ball of fire into her face.

When Loathly turns into a raven and hunts him down in the sky, Je

Y tries to summon a powerful air element. Unfortunately, Tye activates his scepter's abilities and changes the direction of the spell while enslaving the target.

The charm test is successful! You (the summoned [Primal Air Elemental] who is captivated!)

A powerful, living tornado appears near the witch's hut, sweeping bones and ashes into a whirlpool; However, it attacks the surprised summoner and throws Greenfang Jenny into her own house. The building let out a scream, and the door turned into a large mouth, engaging the air elementals.

The rain became poisonous, killing swarms of trees while huge thunderbolts rained down from the sky. However, they don't seem to attack at random, instead focusing entirely on Tai. The necromancer summoned a shield of fire around him, fighting off Lothley's ravens as he struggled to dodge the lightning.

On the ground, Black Anne throws arcane projectiles at him, perhaps hoping to hit Tai when he is invisible. Instead, his [Rune Reflector] will attack the direct sender.

"I'll teach you to dance, kid!" The ravens could not get close to him, and they fused into disgust, but she was now riding a black flying horse with fiery hooves; Unlike Thai, the unnatural weather did not affect them. The Night Witch tried to dispel his protection, but the necromancer negated her attempt with a [Counter-Spell]. However, relentless attacks from all sides forced him to be on the defensive, and in addition to acid rain, the storm began to pile up magical hailstones.

You damage with the passive voice [frost] and [acid].

Realizing that he couldn't stay this way forever, Tay unleashed a [Psychic Burn] at Loathly, turning part of his life force into a howling ghost. The Enchantress and her mount dodged the attack, but it gave him plenty of breathing room to surround her. "[X] Death!"

When "Disgust" ignores the attack, her mount is instantly killed, falling along with his rider. On the ground, Jenny manages to kill her own elemental, even though it destroys the animated house before dying. By this time, all the golems and undead had killed each other, and she could rush towards Black Anne without hindrance.

Tye flew over the two of them and released a fireball between them, separating them. He had to stop them from casting spells en masse. Jenny's fingers crackled with lightning, and Black Anne formed a shadow ball in her hand.

"Blood golem." Sensing the Storm Witch's blood flowing under his control, Tye telepathically moved the liquid—along with all of Jenny Grinter's teeth—into the path of Black Annie's attack.

The Hunchback Witch's eyes widened in horror as her shadow struck her allies instead of their intended targets and undermined her own lightning spells. "Sister!"

"Toxic Rainbow!" Taking advantage of her surprise, Tay uses his scepter to fire a rainbow-colored ray at Black Anne, hitting her forehead. The witch let out a roar of pain as magic blinded her and poisoned her flesh with supernatural venom. The necromancer then focuses his full attention on her rampaging ally, manipulating her body like a doll.

"Sister, you-" Jenny tried to shout a warning, but Tye forced her to shut up, ordering her to attack her allies.

"You want to hold hands, don't you?" The necromancer taunts them, then forces the witch to move her fingers. His blood doll grabbed her fellow witch by the head like a piece of fruit and shoved her thumb into her eyes.

The Storm Witch struggles with mind control, but Tye forces her to keep holding her screaming ally. He felt warm blood running down his hands, as if the witch had become an extension of his own senses.

After surviving a car accident, this hurried night demon runs to rescue her sisters. "[The curse of perfidy]."

A powerful curse hits Tay head-on, disabling his invisible abilities and flame shield. He loses control of his flight and crashes headfirst into the ground, his control over Jenny fading away. The Storm Witch loosens her allies and whips up a gale.

Briefly reasserting his control over his Blood Doll, Tay casts [Slice Wound] on her before she can cast a spell. The Storm Witch's skin was covered with wounds, and blood gushed out of all the holes; She burst into tears and coughed up bile in pain.

Unfortunately, this leaves his door open to Loathly, who splashes him with acid balls. The substance burned through his robes and skin, and the two casters engaged in a throwable duel.

"I can't see...... Black Anne screamed, covering her blind face with her hands and rushing towards Tye. But I can smell you!"

Her claws pounced on his mask, and under the planche of disgust, Tye could only raise her scepter in self-defense. Black Annie's hand knocked his wand flying, and then her fist shattered half of his mask, sending him flying backwards.

The necromancer's back hit the remains of a thorn golem, and by the time he got back up, the witches had regrouped.

"It's time to spank, lich!" They roared at once, magic flowing through their bodies, gathering in the ruby on the nasty ghost's forehead. "Ruby's gaze!"

The ruby turned into a crimson eye and shot a deadly beam through Tai's chest. His magical protection was immediately dispelled, and light entered from one end of his body and came out from the other. The pain spread to his torso like a black hole flowing out of a smoke-like darkness instead of blood.

[Reduces a lot of damage] Kiss of Help].

Walter Tye was flushed with anger when he heard the news, and his pride was hurt.

"One more time, sisters." The Witch Order reluctantly. "[Rub—"

“[Bloodspell] !”

A powerful primordial arcane force pushed the witch trio back, and a crimson aura swirled around the enraged Walter Tye. "Crimson lightning!"

His fingertips unleashed a red bolt of lightning on the dominatrix, forcing them apart. Only Greentooth Jenny was not harmed in any way because she has natural immunity.

"[Pain Spell]," the necromancer cast on Jenny, magically forcing all her nerves to explode at once. The only witch immune to lightning fell to her knees, and the necromancer decided to treat him the way he would. "Crimson lightning!"

This time he shot two arrows with both hands, one arrow knocking the "nasty" away, and the other arrow knocking "Black Annie" to the ground. The wind ravaged Tye, but he didn't care, and blew Black Anne away with a thunderbolt.

"Crimson lightning!"

And then another, which makes her blood boil.

"Crimson lightning!"

Then another, until her dead smoking body stopped moving.

Like the embodiment of death, [Anguchi] turned to his next victim. Using [Blood Puppet], he telepathically brought Greenfang Jenny into melee range, forcing her to open her mouth, and shoved his left hand down her throat.

“[Muspelflame] !”

The fireball exploded in the witch's mouth, burning her to ashes. Tay tossed the charred body aside and focused on the last victim.

Battered by the tragic deaths of her sisters, the Night Witch still seems determined to hold her ground, her ruby glittering.

A stream of magic spread through the air, and Tye glanced at the corpse of the dead witch. Black Anne and Greentooth Jenny come back from the dead, turning into green, hot ghosts that hover their remains.

Succubus.

"Undead, against me?" Me?" Thai's dark laughter echoed through the storm. "Undead in control."

The charm test is successful!

You [smit] [Jenny Greenfang] and [Black Annie].

Their free will is shattered, and the two ghosts turn their attention to their sister and suddenly hit her with lightning and shadow balls.

"It's your turn." Tye said to Lossley, taking the scepter back into his hand as Lossley struggled to fend off his witch group.

Cowardice overcomes the desire for revenge, and the Night Witch slams Ruby with her bloody fingers. "Dream Hope!"

A bright light illuminated the gray-white clearing, and Tai's red lightning only hit the ground. The storm dissipated, and the magic in the air dissipated.

The last witch escaped and fled back to her master.

After capturing the survivors and collecting the corpses for future feeding, Tay ordered a denunciation of the tunnel, dragged the petrified Hydra underground, and inspected the cult camp. Unfortunately, this magic duel ruined everything worthwhile.

"Chief, there's a hole in your chest," Kuone said, as they waded through the ashes. "Just saying."

"Gather the surviving congregations for a [life-draining] meeting." Walter ordered, his mood still bad. This should heal him, although he will need to find a longer source of food.

"Well, if you're lucky, they'll learn their lesson." Duke said contemptuously.

"I doubt it," Tai replied with a frown. While the victory somewhat relieved him after Hale's visit, he knew it was only the first battle of a much larger conflict. At least they can resurrect the dead to gather information and replenish defenses.

Congratulations. Defeat [Dark Trinity Witches] in a caster fight, and you can gain two levels in [Mage]. You have obtained the [Spell Tattoo] class Pe

k。

+40 sp, +1 ski, +4 i

t, +1 cha, +2 lack

[Spell Tattoo]: You learn how to carve magic [Spell Tattoo] on yourself and others, giving them extra magical abilities.

He finally made it to level 60. His old mentor, Asclepius, would be proud of him.

As for the old witches, he tied their souls into small, grotesque dolls and hung them on his belt before they could be freed from his [undead master]. Once he captures the last member of the witch group, he can add her to the collection, perhaps using their innate magic.

The necromancer must find her as soon as possible. Every second of her life increases the risk of her revealing his identity to the world. As for what she said about Medero......

"I don't want to say that, but we have to assume that Medlot will not be the ally I expect it to be," he told his elites. Tay had a gut feeling that the destruction of the Pale Serpent had made his old friend worse. "The cultists will attack again, and this time they won't underestimate us."

"I guessed it a long time ago." Hagen nodded. "Chief, we need to talk about something else."

"Definitely. The necromancer nodded. Most importantly. "I also need to work on Nast

o

d; The situation you have reported to me is worrying. ”

There are two months left until the next confluence meeting.

They better make the most of them.
