The Chaos Demon Dog guessed correctly, the Lord of Shadows' main purpose was to contain the Chaos Demon Dog so that he could not hunt down his divine incarnation.

In front of this ancient evil thing, his own deity is easy to suffer if he is not careful, let alone the incarnation of divinity, and he is unable to carry out the task of containment at all.

His divine incarnation has gone on a mission to rescue the Shadownest.

The Shadow Masters Guild is the key to his rise in the largest church organization in Faerun, and he can't sit idly by and watch being uprooted.

When Marcus, the Lord of Shadows, made up his mind to entangle the Chaos Dogs.

Instead, it was the Chaos Demon who roared angrily.

As the lord of the thieves, Marcus is naturally a role model for the entire Pheren thieves, and the way the thieves fight has been turned into an art by him.

If he was bent on dodging, it would definitely not be easy to get into his body, at least not because the Chaos Demon Dog couldn't.

But every time the Chaos Demon Dog turned around and prepared to hunt his divine incarnation, he would catch up and give him an incomparably silky backstab sneak attack combo that would hurt him to the bone.

At one point, even one of its hind legs was removed.

The advantages and disadvantages of ancient evil things are very obvious.

Their unique origins give them an innate ability to terrorize, and they are often born at the top of the food chain.

However, this unique background will limit their development, making their growth more difficult than ordinary creatures, and at the same time, it is also restrictive.

At least the Chaos Demon Dog can't learn some new abilities like most otherworldly creatures, let alone change its size and appearance.

As a result, his attack methods are relatively scarce, and there are only a few moves back and forth.

Once you get to the bottom of it, it's easy to be targeted.

Although the Chaos Demon Dog looks like a dog, his intelligence is actually very high, and even most mages are ashamed of themselves in front of him.

He quickly changed his tactics, no longer chasing the Lord of Shadows all over the world, he squatted at the gate of his divine kingdom and put on a posture, I can't hunt your divine incarnation, and you don't want to get out.

The Chaos Dogs didn't know what was going on, but one thing was certain.

That is definitely a matter that is extremely unfavorable to the Lord of Shadows, and must be resolved by him personally or by sending a divine incarnation.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend.

As long as Musk is unable to use all his strength, the likelihood of his failure will increase significantly.

Musk, the Lord of Shadows, is also full of helplessness, since being targeted by this vicious dog, he can't do anything.

As long as his true body leaves the kingdom of God, it is light to be hunted down by him, and he is afraid that he will sneak into the kingdom of God and steal his own prayers.

If a god can't even protect the invokers in his own kingdom, then he is already close to the godfall.

Not only will the believers on earth turn away from him on a large scale, but even those who pray may find other ways out—seek refuge in other gods.

When there is no one in the kingdom of God, it will also be the moment when it is broken and falls.

The Dogkiller Sword, a weapon forged by the High Council of Gods of Feren with the Goddess of Magic, was forged specifically for the Chaos Dogs.

It is dedicated and powerful, dealing triple damage to the Chaos Dog, and whoever wields it is immune to the chaos damage unique to the Chaos Dog.

Although this sword still can't completely kill the Chaos Demon Dog, it will greatly extend his resurrection time, from the original twenty-four hours to one year.

If you use this sword to pierce the heart of the Chaos Demon Dog, and then combine it with the corresponding magic circle, you can imprison it.

This is how the High God Council of Faeron used this method to seal the Chaos Demon Dog in the Abyss of Wind Roar.

After Ciric freed the Chaos Dog, he disappeared.

One thing the Lord of Shadows is 100% sure of is that the sword is not in the hands of Ciric, the son of lies, because when he unleashed the Chaos Dog, he took the form of the Divine Sword and followed Ciric.

The moment the Dog-Killing Sword was pulled from the corpse of the Chaos Demon Dog, it triggered some kind of alarm device, and it disappeared into the Endless Void in an instant.

This was done in order to prevent the sword from falling into the hands of the Chaos Dogs.

After all, the person who went to free the Chaos Demon Dog was either his servant or the person who asked for him.

Either way, the Chaos Demon Dogs have a high chance of getting this sword from them.

Among them, the probability of returning to the Goddess of Magic is the highest, as the sword was forged by her own hands.

However, the chance of random teleportation is not small, after all, the Dog Slayer is the masterpiece of the first generation of the Goddess of Magic, Mystra, and the Goddess of Magic has changed for two generations, and the rules of magic have changed dramatically, adding countless variables to it.

Musk naturally hopes that it is the second type, if the canine sword has returned to the hands of the goddess of magic, the possibility of wanting to get it from her is almost zero.

He knew his reputation among the gods of Faeron, and before the conspiracy priesthood was stolen by Ciric, he, the god of conspiracy, was quite competent, and he did not do anything less in Faeron, and successfully gained a large number of enemies for himself.

Although he has not directly offended the goddess of magic, he has offended the god who is good with him, and as a good god, he will definitely not treat himself.

This is a matter for the future, and the most important thing now is to find a way to curb the expansion of those Scheming Lady believers.

This will also shake the foundations of one's own faith.

"It's too much of a deception." The news that the incarnation of divinity came back from the front made Musk, the Lord of Shadows, change color.

The shadow divinity that the goddess of strategy took away from her hands, she did not actively absorb it, but was given by her to her chosen people and poured into a manor.

It's just that the lady of strategy doesn't look down on these shadow divinities, and a mortal doesn't put his shadow divinity in his eyes, which suddenly makes him angry.

This is contempt, naked contempt.

Even God can't completely get rid of man's bad roots.

Previously, he was worried that his shadow divinity would be stolen, and now he was angry that the other party looked down on his shadow divinity.

"Destroy him and reclaim the Shadow Divinity!" The Lord of Shadows has issued a new command to his divine incarnation.

Although the gods and the incarnation of divinity do not share memories, it does not mean that the two parties cannot communicate instantly, especially if they are in the same plane, they do not need divine power at all, and many ordinary magic can do it, such as Larry's telepathy.

When the Shadow Lord's divine incarnation arrived at the Shadow Nest, the other party no longer knew how many times he had smashed the shadow shield with that high-level artifact.

Not only are the shadow shields riddled with holes, but the Shadow Nest is also in ruins, three of the twelve shadow towers have been blown down, and the remaining nine are struggling to support themselves.

The other party's army of shadows has been killed, and they are playing hide-and-seek with those shadow thieves in the shadow nest!

It's just that this hide-and-seek is very deadly, and those shadow thieves who are found have to pay with their lives.

What angered the Lord of Shadows the most was that the souls of the slain Shadow Thieves did not go to the Fallen Shadow Underworld, waiting for themselves to send an oracle to pick them up, nor did they go to their own kingdom.

Instead, it was all stolen by the manor not far away.

For a deity, this is the worst of things.

The more angry he was, the calmer the Lord of Shadows became, and his divine avatar did not appear immediately, but hibernated in the shadows, watching coldly, waiting quietly.

He doesn't look down on him just because he's a mortal.

The other party is not only the chosen of the Lady of Strategy, but also the blasphemer of the immortal goddess of vengeance, the destroyer of the primordial temple of Moandor, the god of decay and depravity, and the destroyer of the divine incarnation of Mara, the god of hunting.

It is a fluke for a person to succeed once, and he succeeds twice, three times.

That's definitely not a lucky one to explain, but it does have the ability to match.

Especially since there is a true god behind the other party, who has just destroyed one of his divine incarnations not long ago.

As he observed, the Lord of Shadows couldn't help but wonder.

The Lady of Strategy's chosen attack methods were indeed a bit extraordinary, but the abilities that belonged to the high-level artifact itself had nothing to do with him.

From beginning to end, the aura exuded by the other party was no higher than that of a quasi-legend.

The only thing worth mentioning is that there is divine power in his body, and there is more than one.

One of them is still very unfamiliar, and there is no matching god in the entire Faeron God System.

It seems that the legend is true, this young mortal named Gavin is using his power to forge a new kind of priesthood.

If he can rely on this new priesthood to become a mortal, this will definitely open an unprecedented precedent in the Pan-Faeron God Department.

Become the object of emulation by countless mortals.

At that time, it will not only bring an unprecedented impact on the world, but even the pattern of the pan-Faren god system will change accordingly.

If it were the other place, Musk would definitely be interested in putting a few bets on this young mortal and conspiring a few conspiracies.

But now, he no longer has this patience and ability, and he can't afford to lose.

In the eyes of the Lord of Shadows, Gavin in the air could be said to be full of flaws, even with four berserk winds guarding him.

Musk is confident that he only needs a lethal sneak attack to send it away.

But could it be a trap?

It is impossible for the other party not to know that the Shadow Master Guild is its own church organization, and it is likely that he will send a divine incarnation to support.

The divine incarnation or deity of the goddess of strategy wouldn't be equally dormant somewhere, just waiting for herself to be sent to the door, right?

Or rather, the attack on the Shadow Nest itself is a trap.

It is to hunt for more divine incarnations of oneself and further weaken one's power.

The more the Lord of Shadows thought about it, the more it became possible.

Because the other party obviously has the ability to order the Shadow Legion to launch a full-scale attack, but it has not done so for a long time.

It is obvious that he is delaying time, in order to wait for the arrival of his divine incarnation.

"Why haven't you come yet? This Lord of Shadows is a little too inefficient! Gavin in the air was equally anxious.

He hadn't launched an attack for a long time, and he was indeed waiting for the divine incarnation of the Lord of Shadows.

The other party is the existence that Quan Faren is best at assassinating, and even Yamen Khan was hit hard by his blow.

If he had become the target of the other party, he would definitely not have run.

He must be trapped before he can do anything.

Think about it.

My plan seems to be a little too much for granted.

Who is Marcus?

Lord of Shadows, God of Thieves, God of Former Conspiracy.

The fact that he was only seized of the priesthood does not mean that his style of conduct has changed.

He is still scheming and cautious.

Maybe he arrived early, but he just noticed his trap and was watching coldly!

Gavin said loudly while throwing down the war marauders again at a shadow tower: "Lord Musk, since you don't care about the life or death of your own believers, then you're welcome and take them all, Dream Labyrinth!" ”

Since there is no way to trap the enemy directly, then keep him out, so that he has no way to interfere with his war in the Shadow Nest for a short time.

With Gavin at the center, an emerald glow swept across the surrounding shadows.

A towering shadow of a large tree appeared behind Gavin.

Who else is not the dragon oak mother tree.

This is the trap that Gavin has carefully prepared for the Lord of Shadows.

If the Lord of Thieves attacks him, the spell hidden in his body will be triggered immediately, and he will be sent directly into the dream labyrinth.

This is a brand new ability that has been unlocked by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

The totem dream realm of the Lyselman Kingdom was fully opened, bringing a huge amount of conceptual divinity to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, allowing him to directly gain a firm foothold in the dream realm priesthood and enter the ranks of demigods.

There is only one step away from officially becoming a god - condensing the godhead.

The reason why he didn't do this now was not because the dream realm was not divine enough, but because the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was in a special situation, mixed with Gavin and the Lord of Virginia.

Once the Godhead is condensed, it is very likely to have an impact on them.

Both of them chose to be on the safe side, suppress this matter, and accumulate more according to the original plan.

Since the Lord of Shadows refused to fall into the trap, Gavin chose to unfold the Dream Labyrinth Technique, enveloping the entire battlefield.

If the Lord of Shadows wants to intervene in this war, he must first pass through the outer labyrinth of dreams.

Sure enough, there are traps.

The pride in the heart of Musk, the Lord of Shadows, sank before it had fully risen.

Because the entire battlefield disappeared from his eyes, and in its place was an emerald green mist.

Not only was the fog cut off from his vision, but even his connection with the believers in the Shadow Nest.

He guessed one thing correctly and he guessed one wrong.

The enemy did prepare in advance, and it was a trap tailored for him, and the other party actually set the trap on his body, if he had attacked it before, whether he could kill the other party or not, he would have been hit, and this fog was no longer covered by the battlefield, but himself, no one knows, what awaits him inside.

What he guessed wrong was that the enemy's methods were far more numerous than he imagined, and he could even adopt a change of tactics to directly isolate him from the outside, and there was no way to intervene in this war.

"It's not so easy to stop me, I'm the master of thieves, as long as I want, nothing in this world can trap me." The Lord of Shadows snorted coldly, he wasn't someone to give up so easily.

Focusing on the emerald green mist, breaking the trap is a necessary skill for every thief, as the patron saint of all thieves, Musk is naturally the top player in this area, whether it is a physical trap or a magic trap, he has it all at hand.

If the opponent makes a move in advance, it is equivalent to putting himself in the upper hand.

The more the Lord of Shadows perceived, the more he felt that there was an incomparably familiar aura in this emerald green mist, and he couldn't help but whisper: "This is a dream breath, and it is also a dream with divinity, could it be that Layla has come back from the dead?" Came to me for revenge? ”

Layla is the goddess of trickery and illusion of Faeron, who once presided over the two major priesthoods of deception and illusion, so she has a series of titles such as Guardian of Liar, Mother of Illusion, Lady of Deception, and Guardian of Deception, but the most commonly used honorific title is Ms. Mist, which means that she is ever-changing, like Mist, and cannot be seen clearly.

The reason why the word once is used to describe it is because she has fallen into the gods.

This matter is inseparable from Musk.

Because of the clergy, Musk and Layla were once the closest allies, after all, thieves, illusions and deception have always been inseparable.

However, in the turbulent years, the Lord of Shadows, in order to gain more power, mercilessly sold the Lady of the Mist to Shiric, and slew her at the Black Feather Bridge in the Feather Valley, using the god-killing sword he incarnated.

Musk, who was still the god of conspiracy at the time, made his calculations crackle, and although Ciric was powerful at that time, he was only a mortal.

Lady Mist's illusion and deception will naturally fall into his hands—when he recovers from the Sword of God, it is only natural that the world will attribute the credit for killing Ms. Mist to him.

These two priesthoods complement each other with his Thief, Conspiracy, and Shadow Priesthood, becoming the cornerstone of his own journey into medium divine power.

No matter how close the allies are, how can they be stronger and more real?

In fact, not only was Musk behind the killing of Layla, but a series of actions by Ciric in the turbulent years were all subtly guided by the god-killing sword he incarnated to fulfill his duties as a god of conspiracy and gain more power.

His plan wasn't perfect, but the only thing he hadn't thought of was that.

The god Io has a bigger plan and layout in Faeron, he not only took advantage of the theft of the fate tablet to launch a major purge of the Faeron god system, but also directly changed the laws of the gods in the entire Torel plane.

Under the changes of this big pattern and big tide, Musk's small conspiracy and small tricks were directly crushed, and his fruitful conspiracy results not only achieved Ciric, but even his own conspiracy priesthood was lost and became the trophies of the other party.

Others don't know, but Musk, who used to be an ally of Ms. Mist, knows very well that Layla has used illusions as a springboard to start entering the dream realm before the fall of Godfall, and has made good progress.

This is also the area that he fears the most and covets the most, if he can get involved in dreams, he even has the opportunity to get involved in powerful divine powers, because the conspiracy he has compiled can be instilled into the world through dreams, and can even extend to a new priesthood - dream theft.

Now that he feels the familiar atmosphere, Musk, who is a thief, is naturally the first person who comes to mind is Ms. Mist. (End of chapter)
