Section 149 Guidelines

He moved on.

In the physical world, he is walking along the aisle, and in the spiritual world, he is walking towards the center of the castle.

In my head, the voice of sadism intensified. It was a warning, a condemnation, but Ashrufat was not afraid. Now that he has come this far, no matter whether he turns back now or not, the hostile relationship with the sadomasochism will not be eliminated. In that case, why not go all the way to the dark?

However, if the three gods are right, there is also a Guardian - and the final challenge of his war.

The voices of terror grew more and more urgent, and the blood god roared angrily, threatening to tear Ashruphat to shreds and imprison his soul in darkness forever.

Ashrufat didn't stop, but he slowed down a little. This is not out of fear, but out of prudence. He was ready for the Guardian to suddenly jump out and attack.

However, this did not happen.

In the material world, Ashruphat had come a long way along the metal passage, and he had always kept a straight line. In the spirit world, he had come to the center of the castle, along the city walls, to the highest point of the castle. There's a building there, the kind of building that is instantly recognizable, the most central building.

The Blood God's roar reached its limit at this moment, to the point that it slowed Aerufat even further. He was already holding a sword in both hands, ready to fight at any time.

Wait a minute...... Maybe...... The situation is not the same as it is said. Suddenly, a question occurred to Ashrufat. The Blood God is not the type to be good at intrigue and intrigue, and if he had a Guardian, then the Guardian would have come out to fight a long time ago. In this case, perhaps the gods were not right......

Then, maybe what lies ahead of him is the fear of himself.

He was going to have a face-to-face battle with the Blood God—the mere thought of that made Ashrufat feel a little wary in his heart.

The demons under his command - that is, the bloodthirsty ones he had seen before - had that level of combat power. So, what level of power does the Blood God, who dominates all these demons and claims to have the strongest force of the gods, possess in itself? Not to mention that this battle is still being fought in the Blood God's lair, and the other party occupies a favorable position.

The only thing I don't understand is why there are no other great demons here, but I think it should be the assistance of the three great gods who suppressed some of the power of the blood god. Just as the demons under their command appeared one after another, suppressing the demon army of the blood god. Otherwise, with the hordes of vending and bloodthirsty demons alone, it would be impossible for Ashrufat to come here.

In other words, at least in the eyes of the three great gods, they think that this battle can still be fought a dozen, even if the chance of winning is not high, but it is by no means no chance. Come to think of it, when suppressed, the blood god is not invincible.

Although Ashrufat had already experienced a hundred battles, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble when he wanted to have a face-to-face battle with a god (and one of the four evil gods). He found that some of them were actually longing for this battle of disparity.

In the material world, the passage has come to an end. Ahead is a closed door. It was also the first time in Ashrufat's journey that he had seen a closed door. All the rooms he had seen before were doorless, or rather, the doors were open. In the spirit world, he was already standing in front of the building, and the door in front of him was also closed.

The two worlds are now folded together, and the point of union is the door. Ashrufat instinctively knew that fear was waiting for him behind that door. Moreover, the guardian that the three great gods said may have been transferred away or something else, and it will not appear again in any case.

Ashrufat clenched his sword and walked forward, adjusting his breathing and mood as he went. He even paused for a moment to carefully organize all his equipment. Although the Chaos armor on his body was damaged (at the shoulder), it was still very good overall, and the magical cloak was already hanging on his body. The Withered Sword in his hand, though once used as a shovel, is still intact. Finally, there is the ring - all three great gods are with him.

He came to the door and clenched his sword. Fear was waiting for him, and it was obviously inappropriate to kick the door in, and it didn't look like it could be kicked open. Cutting with a sword doesn't seem like a good idea either. But if he refuses to open the door, he must dig a passage through it with his sword, just as he had done before.

Then he suddenly noticed that his ring was glowing.

He raised his hand and took a closer look. But this time, there seems to be something different...... That's right, it's the emblem. The emblems of Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh that he had seen before were glowing, and this time the emblems of the four evil gods, including the Blood God, were all glowing.

Ashruphat hesitated, and before he could decide what to do, the voices of the gods rang in his head.

It was no longer the sound of three gods becoming one, but three voices speaking at the same time. It was the gods congratulating him on his victory at the same time.

"My knight, you've finally succeeded......"

"Well done, Ashrufat......"

"Kid, you won!"

Ashrufat was stunned. Oh, by the way, the three gods had explained to him before that as long as he could defeat the Guardians, he would be able to force the Blood God to compromise. It was clear that the expected Guardian didn't exist, so once he solved the maze problem, the Blood God would make a compromise.

However, this is the end of it? The Blood God just compromised and admitted defeat? The victory came so easily that Ashrufat couldn't come back to his senses for a while. He looked at the door in front of him, hesitating whether he wanted to break in.

He looked at the ring in his hand again. At this time, the light on the ring slowly dissipated. But in the next moment, Tzeentch's mechanical, emotionless voice immediately came to his mind.

"Ashrufat," said the Lord of Deceit before Ashrufat could open his mouth to ask. "You've done your job. Now, it's time to make good on my promise to you. ”

"Isn't it all over yet?" said Ashrufat, a little surprised. Judging from the tone revealed by the deceitful lord, it was not that he was afraid that once he compromised, everything would be over.

"There's a little bit of finishing touches to go. "The Lord of Trickery admitted. "But it's a very simple thing, and there is no danger. ”

Tzeentch said so, but Ashrufat wouldn't have believed it.

"Now, do as I say. Tzeentch said. "Turn back, turn left at the intersection. ”

Ashrufat glanced at the door in front of him. Abuse is behind that door. The most powerful warriors and slayers, commanding the existence of countless powerful demons...... He shook his head, shooing the urge out of his head. As a general, you must not like to fight for the sake of fighting, fighting is a means, a means to an end, not an end in itself. This is also the root of the way, and to deviate from this root is to deviate from the right path. Even if you gain momentum for a while, you can only lose in the end.

It was as if someone had told him a long time ago, and although he had forgotten who told him, when and under what circumstances, he still remembered it.

If he broke through the door now and challenged the Blood God - then all his hard work in the Chaos Realm would be meaningless.

Ashruphat took one last look at the door, then turned around and left.

“...... At the second junction, turn left ......"

Tzeentch's guidance was effective, and after three turns and two turns, Ashruphat found himself in a room he had never seen before. There are a lot of strange machines in the room, these machines make a slight humming sound, and some small balls are mounted on the machines that can emit different colors of light, and the lights of various colors in the room are constantly shining.

In addition to this, on one side of the room, a whole row of blue columnar crystals is placed. These crystals are all suspended in the air, emitting a mysterious light.

“...... The first one on the left ...... "In my mind, the Lord of Deceit instructs." "Do you see that glittering blue crystal pillar? Destroy it! The will of the star will be free!"

Ashruphat hesitated, he didn't know if the Lord of Trickery could be trusted. But then he remembered Tarek's words. The Lord of Deceit is good at words and trickery, but he will never commit such a lowly lie that blatantly violates his promises. Of course, the premise is that you understand the multiple meanings of his words and do not fall into the trap of words.

Ashrufat raised the withered sword and slashed down. It was easy, the crystal was far more fragile than he expected, and all at once it turned into splinters and spilled all over the ground.

An image was crammed into Ashrufat's mind—outside in the temple of terror, Starcarved let out a scream and fell to the ground, his head in his hands, rolling and struggling on the ground.

"This is the inevitable price of liberation...... Don't worry, just make her a little uncomfortable for a while, and it won't affect other ......," Tzeentch explained in his mind.

"And this ......," the Lord of Trickery led Ashruphat to another corner of the room. "It's this machine...... This layer of metal is just a shell, pry open with your sword, carefully pry it open. Take your time, we have plenty of time. ”

Ashrufat complied. Now a bunch of incomprehensible things appeared in front of him. "Left...... That's right, it's the right finger you ...... This chip can be unplugged...... Pull it out...... Careful...... Pull it out slowly......"

Although the voice of the Lord of Deceit was still mechanical, Ashrufat clearly felt that the Lord of Deceit seemed to be very excited, and this thing called "Chip" should be something that the Lord of Deceit took very seriously.

He followed Tzeentch's instructions and pulled out the chip and placed it in his hand. The thing appeared to indicate a black, solid piece of solid that had no magical powers on it, no different from a small stone thrown on the side of the road. At least Ashrufat didn't see any special value in it.

"Now, get out of here!" Tzeentch instructed. "Get out, go forward, turn right at the second intersection right in front of you...... That's where you come in. ”

Tzeentch's voice was gone.
