There is no doubt that the death of a large number of cowards forced the demons to abandon their original plan to first occupy the entire sewer and then use it as a base to launch attacks on the ground city.
Because no matter at any time, the cowards are always the most important component of the demon army.
Even a lord who has very high requirements for his army will ensure that his subordinates have at least two-thirds of the total number of cowardly demons to consume the physical strength and spell-like abilities of the opponent's high-level demons.
Of course, as long as the cowards can survive the continuous battles and receive the blessing of the Abyss, they will have the opportunity to evolve into a more advanced form.
Although the chance of such a lucky few getting the opportunity to evolve may not even be one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, it is the only way for low-level demons to climb up.
It is said that Orcus, the Undead Lord and one of the three giants of the abyss, slowly evolved from a lowly worm to the pinnacle of all demons.
This is completely different from most other demon lords who are already very powerful and advanced demons from the moment they are born.
His rise is an inspirational example in the abyss, motivating generation after generation of demons to climb up desperately.
Unfortunately, the cowards who invaded the Athkatla sewers this time were unlucky and met Zuo Si, the chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.
As a result, not only was there no chance of evolving into a higher form, not even one of them survived.
As the terrible plague spread and expanded wildly along the smelly underground pipes, in just a few hours or so, the entire sewer was completely turned into a forbidden area for all living things.
Be it the thieves who managed to escape from the demonic massacre, the black market vendors who sold stolen goods, or the ubiquitous rats and insects, all died in this round of indiscriminate attacks.
In order to prevent the plague from spreading to the surface, Yvette, the highest leader of the Church of Talona in Amn, personally led the priests to cast the unique magic of the goddess of poison and disease at each exit.
When Shane VII led the members of the Masked Mages Guild to lower the magic eyes for observation and detection one by one, the leaders of the six-member council that held the highest power in Amn, the major temples and churches, the Knights of the Burning Heart, the Shadow Thieves and other forces all clearly saw what was happening in the sewer.
Whether it is the "holy ball of physics" raging in the narrow passage like a meat grinder, or the bloody scene formed after being minced by it, it makes many people feel strongly uncomfortable.
Some women with poor psychological endurance even vomited on the spot.
Having long been accustomed to all kinds of torture and interrogation, Ailan Linville couldn't help but whistled and teased in a half-joking tone: "Don't you think this thing is awesome? Its flying speed is even much faster than riding a horse. If you encounter it in battle, I think the best result would be to commit suicide first, at least that way you can die quickly."
"Are those flying and self-rotating iron balls the result of some kind of magic?" a member of the six-member council asked with narrowed eyes.
Shane VII stroked his chin and answered with interest: "I think it should be the effect of magic.
However, there is apparently no record of this in the library of the Masked Mages Guild.
I figured he either used some original spell that had never been seen before, or invented a new enchantment technique.
I have to say, this idea and creativity is really eye-opening.
Especially in large-scale wars, it can definitely inflict unimaginable damage on the enemy.
Even demons were powerless against this, not to mention the armies of mortals.
I guess if you see this thing rushing into a square formation and killing people on the battlefield, the enemy will collapse in a few minutes."
"Can the Masked Mage Guild create such a magical weapon?"
An army commander wearing full body armor was visibly moved.
Because he knew very well what the scene would be like when these powerful iron balls wreaked havoc on the battlefield.
In particular, the impact on the morale and psychological defenses of enemy soldiers is far stronger than fireball, lightning and even death cloud.
Shane VII shook his head slightly and said, "No. As I said just now, these iron balls contain many original spells and magic item making techniques.
Unless Soth is willing to tell us the answer, we won't be able to learn anything even if we get one or two samples.
What's more, compared to these iron balls that cause purely physical damage, the plague that permeates the sewers is the most terrifying.
Don't you feel strange that so many cowards disappeared out of thin air?"
"You mean... those demons died from the terrible plague and returned to their home in the abyss to be reborn?"
A solemn expression suddenly appeared on the face of Weatheran, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Burning Heart.
This is the case when dealing with demons with strong immunity and adaptability, so what if it is used in other densely populated areas in the continent of Faerun?
In fact, he was not the only one who thought so. Many people around him also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"That's right! According to my calculations, if the demons want to occupy the entire complex sewer network of Athkatra, they will need at least 50,000 cowards and thousands of mid-level and high-level demons.
But now, except for the underground of the temple area where a large number of demons are still active, only the shopping mall area has some remnants, and the sewers in the other several urban areas have been cleaned up.
In other words, Soth alone killed at least 50,000 cowards and hundreds of high-level demons.
His title of Son of Plague and Man of Destruction is indeed well-deserved."
Sean VII gave a meaningful answer.
In his opinion, Zuo Si was simply an extremely terrifying humanoid strategic deterrent weapon.
Coupled with its powerful arcane and divine spellcasting abilities, as long as it is willing to help him deal with Ivyklathasagran "Sharpfang", this ancient blue dragon king will surely die in his hands.
But it doesn't matter. As a half-lich, Shane VII has almost unlimited time to wait and look for opportunities to persuade the other party to join this feast of revenge.
As the magic eye spread throughout the sewer, the people present soon saw the serious consequences caused by the raging plague.
Those rats that were supposed to be carriers of the plague were now dying in large numbers from the terrible plague.
In particular, the farther away from the exit, the denser the concentration of their corpses.
In some dark nests, the remains of thousands of rats, cockroaches and other unknown small insects are densely packed together, forming a thick, terrifying black covering.
After seeing this scene, many women who had just vomited immediately ran to the corner and continued to vomit yellow-green bitter bile.
It was not until the Magic Eye searched the entire Askatla sewer area at a rapid speed that a masked wizard could not help but exclaimed: "It seems that Lord Soth has successfully cleared out all the demons except the temple area. It's really unimaginable speed and efficiency."
"Does that mean we can rush in and close the portal to the Abyss?" Grand Commander Weatheran asked impatiently.
"Of course you can, but what about the plague that permeates the sewers? I can't guarantee that you, the holy warriors, can be immune to this power bestowed upon your chosen people by the goddess of poison and disease, Talona, just as you are immune to other diseases." The masked wizard spoke with a strong sense of uncertainty.
As we all know, the paladin possesses the special ability of "divine protection".
No matter whether it is ordinary diseases or supernatural magical diseases such as lycanthropy and corpse decay, they cannot have even the slightest impact on it.
But what if plague and disease also come from God? Grand Master Weatheran was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he wanted to lead the Knights to charge in and drive all the demons that threatened the city and the lives of innocent residents back to their home in the abyss.
On the other hand, he also had to ensure the survival of the Knights Templar and not allow the paladins to suffer too many casualties all at once, which would cause them to fall into a period of weakness for a long period of time in the future and make them unable to fulfill their duties of punishing evil and promoting good and upholding law and justice.
Many times, these two goals are in conflict with each other.
Just when Grand Master Witheran was hesitating, Yvette, the highest leader of the Church of Talona, finally stepped forward and said with a slightly smug tone, "Don't worry about this. The great goddess has granted a new spell that can make a person immune to the plague and poison for up to two hours. With the number of our priests, we can maintain an elite team of no more than a hundred people to enter the sewer."
"What!"
"Really?"
Two members of the six-member council stood up from their chairs excitedly.
Yvette nodded without hesitation: "Of course! So the most urgent task now is to mobilize and organize an elite team to enter the sewers of the temple area and join Lord Soth who is clearing out the demons."
"It takes a wizard to close the portal, so I will bring fifteen wizards with a certain spellcasting level."
Sean VII was the first to come forward and make his position clear.
Although according to his original idea, he would rather send other high-ranking members of the Masked Mage Guild to die.
But considering that this was an opportunity to get closer to Zuo Si and also to feel the latter's power and abilities up close, he decided to join.
Soon after, the Knights of the Burning Heart, various major temples, and city guards all sent out their strongest forces. Even the Shadow Thieves Guild sent the legendary assassin Arcanis Gass to join them.
Of course, as to whether this Arcanis Gass is the real one or just a substitute, only the top leaders of the Shadow Thieves know.
After all, Arcanis Ghaz is a true legend in Amn.
Stories about him and those poor souls who had offended the Shadow Thief and died inexplicably in assassinations had long been circulating in the streets and alleys here.
If you carefully trace the source of the rumor, you will find that after the Shadow Thieves were banned and expelled from Waterdeep and came to Askatla to develop, the story of Arcanis Ghas began to spread everywhere.
Calculating the time, his age has long exceeded the upper limit of human lifespan.
Although the Shadow Thieves have always publicized that Arcanis Ghas was chosen by the God of Thieves, he has gained a nearly infinite lifespan and will never age or die naturally.
But anyone with a little common sense knows that the name Arcanis Gas does not appear on the list of voters of the God of Thieves.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that Arcanis Gass does not refer to just one person, but represents the member among the Shadow Thieves who has the strongest assassination ability.
If the previous generation Arcanis Gass died, another person would be immediately nominated to succeed him.
In addition, in order to increase the sense of mystery and deterrence, each band of Arcanis Gas has several substitutes.
When there is a need to confuse the enemy or to carry out a suicide mission, the Shadow Thieves' high-ranking officials will send out a substitute.
However, this substitute does not know that he is an imposter, so even if he is caught or captured, he does not have to worry about leaking important information and intelligence.
Just like that, an elite team composed of thieves, warriors, paladins, mages, priests and other professions, after being blessed with divine magic, entered the sewer from one of the entrances.
At the same time, in the basement of the Mage Tower on the other side, under the instruction of Zuo Si, Wilmes assembled an army composed of Dead Eye Tyrants, Mummy Warriors, Orcs, Goblin Werewolf Zombies, various golems, as well as powerful subordinates like Korgan, Rhett, Tabby Cat Man, Alena, Sun Elf Magic Archer, and the Death Killer that was created not long ago.
Looking at this army, which was unprecedentedly powerful in both size and quality, the red dragon could not help but spray a large number of golden sparks from his nose excitedly. He grinned and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "If only this army really belonged to me..."
"Don't dream! Even you belong to the master."
The strange object rudely interrupted Wilmes' beautiful fantasy.
Since the addition of the mind flayer and the new elder brain, it has learned a lot of psychic knowledge and skills from them, so it is no longer the novice who used psychic power roughly.
Now, the red dragon's thoughts and emotions are completely controlled by the strange object. It has no privacy or secrets from the former, and even its occasional physical desires can be sensed clearly.
"Damn it! Are you going to deprive me of my right to fantasize?" Wilmes cursed in a low voice in frustration.
"No! I'm just reminding you that you'd better accept your identity and position as soon as possible. Otherwise, the master's patience is not infinite. Don't forget what happened to that fellow being imprisoned by you."
When saying this, there was no emotion in Qiwu's tone.
But precisely because of this, the red dragon is particularly afraid.
As Zuo Si's power increased rapidly at an unimaginable and unreasonable speed, Wilmes began to realize that he was not irreplaceable.
Her only advantage was that she had known Zuo Si earlier, and they could barely be considered "friends in need."
Moreover, as time went by, he gained more and more benefits from the other party. In fact, Wilmes no longer had the strong resistance he had at the beginning, and gradually came to accept his current identity.
However, Red Dragon's arrogance and conceited character made her unwilling to admit the cruel fact that she had actually become Zuo Si's subordinate and pet.
To put it bluntly, he is just stubborn and won't admit it verbally but his body is still honest.
Soon, under the leadership of Wilmes, the army split into two groups, one group marched towards the temple area, while the other group went straight to the secret base located underground in the Woking shopping mall area.
From Erinikas's "good sister" Badi, Zuo Si has obtained the complete structural map of this place, as well as the locations of a large number of mechanisms and traps, intending to sweep away all the valuable things there.
In particular, there was a copy of the results that Erinikas had achieved in his research on the Divine Saints over the past year or so, which was kept in a secret compartment in the bedroom.
In fact, in order to prevent those guys on the ground from knowing the secret, Zuo Si deliberately did not approach the shopping mall area.
Moreover, Erinikas' secret base has many defenses set up, and it is difficult for ordinary magic eyes to find the hidden entrance.
After the confirmed team had begun fighting with the demons entrenched in the temple area, Zuo Si cast a teleportation magic and instantly appeared next to the red dragon.
Looking at the fierce battle scene ahead, he immediately asked, "What's the situation inside?"
"At least fifty six-armed snake demons, more than twice as many seducers, and a large number of berserkers, Flos, and cowardly cannon fodder. Obviously, the things in this secret base have attracted the attention of the demons. They have used some kind of spell to block the invasion of the plague, so the resistance is very fierce. At this rate, the low-level undead will be consumed in ten minutes."
Wilmes stated directly what he observed.
Since high-level demons possessed extremely powerful strength, she didn't dare to rush up and breathe dragon breath and engage in close combat like she did with other enemies.
If you do this, you might be torn into pieces alive by the six-armed snake demon and the berserker demon that rush over in a few minutes.
"In that case, let the undead retreat and we will launch a general attack."
Having said that, Zuo Si directly activated the card in his hand.
moment!
Several of the most powerful summoned creatures currently on hand, including Cursed Black Guard Warren, Dragonborn Knight Davian, and Eye of the Elder, appeared out of thin air.
Wilmes undoubtedly sensed the dangerous aura emanating from these people and monsters, and immediately took two steps back subconsciously, asking in an uncertain tone: "Are you planning to attack by force?"
"Right. I don't want anyone to know I was here, so this has to be fast."
After saying that, Zuo Si made an attacking gesture to his summoned creatures.
In just a second, the Cursed Black Guard Warren rushed out at lightning speed like a mad dog with its reins released, swung the cursed Infernal Sword in his hand, and began to kill the demons wantonly.
Since his power comes from the devil in Baator, he can exert 200% of his combat power when dealing with his mortal enemy, the demon.
Especially the powerful cleave, when dealing with those low-level cowards, it can often kill all targets within the reach of the surrounding two-handed giant sword in an instant.
Even in a head-on collision with high-level demons such as the Berserker and the Seducer, it is not at a disadvantage at all.
Likewise, the Eye of the Elder began to unleash the power of its long-range turrets, continuously pouring deadly magic rays onto the demon, and occasionally using the high-level spells it had mastered.
In just a few minutes, the demon guarding the door was forced back.
"Master, I have to quickly deal with these tough enemies first, preferably by attacking them from the front and back. Do you know if there are any other entrances to this base?" David asked in a low voice.
Due to repeated blood strengthening using the corpse of a red dragon, his eyes flickered with an orange-red light like the flowing magma of a red dragon, and at the same time, traces of scales could be vaguely seen under the skin on the surface of his body.
As long as Zuo Si gave an order, this extremely loyal warrior would immediately transform into a strong and fearless red dragon, or a half-human, half-dragon form.
Most importantly, after the transformation, Davian will inherit all the fighting skills of a knight and use the body of a dragon to perform them.
Therefore, if he were to fight against an ancient dragon without a professional level, the latter would definitely die.
"I happen to know of one, a place specially designed for Badi to enter and exit freely. And the purpose of the frontal attack is simply to attract the devil's attention and facilitate our subsequent infiltration operation." Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a playful expression.
Apparently, controlling the Vampire Queen allowed him to gain access to many of Erinikas' secrets.
She even knew exactly how often the other party satisfied his physiological needs, and whether the object was a tree spirit, water fairy, succubus, succubus, or a clone of the elf queen Alistar.
In this secret base, Erinikas, with her powerful spellcasting ability, built a huge harem that would make countless men envious and jealous, and used it to vent her own twisted desires.
As a wizard, you can be cold, evil, cruel, do whatever you want, and kill anyone who dares to offend you, but you cannot control the desires in your subconscious mind.
Otherwise, once someone takes advantage of this, they can easily kill him.
Zuo Si had read in some books in Candle Castle that there was once a powerful wizard who always liked to go to certain shops that provided special services at night to "rescue" fallen women.
His enemy discovered this, so he used transformation magic to transform himself into a blonde, blue-eyed girl who suited the enemy's taste best. Then, when the two of them were fighting fiercely and reached the climax, he decisively stabbed a poisoned dagger into his eye.
Therefore, the saying "lust is a sword hanging over your head" is not just a casual remark in the continent of Faerun.
Especially the various transformation magics that can easily change appearance and even gender are definitely the nightmare of old perverts.
Because you never know whether the opposite sex who makes your heart beat fast is a big man who picks his toes, or an old man with gray hair and beard, or he is not a human being at all, but a shapeshifter or something like that.
Under the leadership of Zuo Si, an elite team quickly bypassed the front entrance and used a teleportation rune that originally belonged to Badi to enter the base from a secret portal on the other side.
As a result, just after the teleportation, he saw a group of tree elves and water fairies, with only a few pieces of cloth covering their vital parts, hiding in a completely closed room and shivering, obviously frightened by the massive invasion of demons.
There are not many furnitures in this room, just a big bed and various creative little toys placed on the bedside.
Some of them even made Zuo Si, a person from modern society on Earth, exclaim, "What fun!"
Obviously, this is where Erinikas vents his desires.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that he really gave 100% trust to his good sister Badi, and even allowed her to enter and exit such a hidden and private place directly.
"You... who are you?"
A water fairy stood up suddenly, releasing an amazing charm that could not be described in words from her body.
If it were an ordinary person or a weak-willed adventurer, he would be charmed in a matter of minutes, fall madly in love with her and be willing to do anything for her.
But unfortunately, there was not a single ordinary person teleported in this time.
There is more than one divine power in Zuo Si's body, so this low-level charm would not have any effect at all. Instead, he took this opportunity to look up and down at the other person's golden-proportion figure and the exquisite face that was said to be able to blind people.
The Dragonborn Knight who has obtained the powerful power of red dragon blood has extremely high magic resistance, and naturally cannot be disturbed by the charm of a mere water fairy.
As for the others who were teleported in, they were basically either Death Eye Tyrants or Death Killers. As undead, they were immune to all forms of charm and control.
In the end, the poor water fairy found that her abilities were completely ineffective against these terrible intruders. She immediately curled up in a corner with the other tree fairies and water fairies and began to cry, as if waiting for a terrible fate to come.
"Master, what should we do with them?" David couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Well - we can't just leave them there. They saw us, and we'll be exposed when Erinikas comes back. But killing these beautiful creatures of nature is a bit too cruel, so you know..."
Zuo Si gave a look to the summoned creature that had followed him for the longest time.
The latter immediately understood what he meant, and walked straight to the tree elf and the water fairy, and punched them one by one, knocking them all out without mercy.
Zuo Si instantly activated the power of a planeswalker, and made these concubines of Erinikas into biological cards and packed them up and took them away.
After doing all this, he gave orders to the Death Killer to walk at the front of the team.
According to the base plan provided by Badi, this place is no longer just the sewer of Athkatla, but has formed multiple small and independent demiplanes under the transformation of Erinikas.
They are connected to each other through specific portals.
This means that before obtaining the portal rune stone, even the demons can't expect to get close to the most core areas.
The place where Zuo Si is currently located is exactly where Erinikas rests, entertains and relaxes. As long as he is careful not to touch those magic traps, he will not encounter too much danger.
After passing through several rooms decorated in a distinctly elven style, as well as a small garden filled with trees and various plants, the team soon arrived in front of a huge circular portal.
“Prepare for battle!”
Zuo Si reminded without turning his head, and then activated the portal rune stone.
The next second...
Astonishing energy quickly flowed along the magic lines on both sides into the metal door frame made of mithril.
Not long after, the passage between the two portals was opened.
Through the hazy image, one can vaguely see that on the opposite side, a dozen high-level demons are gathered together to discuss how to activate the portal.
As a result, when the portal opened, they were all stunned.
While his opponent was stunned, the Death Killer rushed over, grabbed the nearest elite succubus, opened his bloody mouth full of fangs and bit down hard.
Snap!
“Aa…
With a scream loud enough to pierce the eardrums, the succubus was easily killed and swallowed.
The six-armed snake demon nearby reacted quickly and immediately launched an attack waving six weapons, trying to kill this terrible monster.
But unfortunately, perhaps in the eyes of mortals the six-armed snake demon is a very powerful demon, but in front of this horrific undead creature made from the heart of Baal, the god of murder, her combat skills and spell-like abilities are completely useless.
Especially the [Blade Barrier] surrounding the body, which couldn't even penetrate the hard stratum corneum on the surface of the Death Killer's body.
Even if the six weapons in his hands occasionally get cut or two, they will repair themselves in a very short time.
On the contrary, every time the Death Killer attacked, he could tear off large pieces of flesh and blood from the snake demon's body.
By the time other demons joined the siege, she was already dying and unable to move. Her snake-like lower body was torn and bleeding, and even some of her internal organs and bones were exposed.
"Go! Kill them all! Don't let the portal close!"
A six-armed snake demon who seemed to have the highest status and was the largest in size gave orders to other demons in the language of the Abyss.
"What a coincidence, we thought of the same thing." Zuo Si responded in the same Abyssal language.
Almost at the same time, the Dragonborn Knight Davian jumped directly over the portal and came to the other side. He raised his shield and knocked down a Soul Judge that looked like a wild boar walking upright. Then his body and armor expanded rapidly, and in less than a second he turned into an extremely huge red dragon.
Just as the demons were stunned, he slapped the nearby demons with his dragon wings, knocking all of them several meters away, then opened his bloody mouth and spewed out a deadly breath of fire.
Boom!!!! The bright and dazzling white flames instantly enveloped the entire not-so-spacious passage.
Most of the demons didn't even have the chance to cast teleportation magic to escape before they were swallowed by the raging flames.
Due to his very high combat professional level, the power and duration of Davian's breath are far more terrifying than those of other red dragons.
The melting did not stop until large areas of the ground, walls and ceiling began to melt.
As for those unlucky ones who were within the range of the dragon's breath, they were basically either sent back to their hometown in the abyss, or most of their bodies showed signs of black carbonization, and they were only one step away from being deported.
But the six-armed snake demon who was suspected to be the highest-ranking one sensed the danger in advance and successfully escaped using advanced teleportation techniques.
Zuo Si obviously didn't care about this and was interested in picking and choosing those demons who still had a breath left.
After a while, he had a few more creature cards in his hand.
Thank you for the gift from the abyss! Obviously, Zuo Si was the most direct beneficiary of the big fuss that Badi made this time.
Whether it was the mana brought by slaughtering a large number of demons, or the various high-level demons that could be made into cards, he benefited a lot.
Not to mention that they can also raid this secret base and pack up everything valuable here.
In just a dozen minutes or so, Zuo Si cleared out all the magic items, materials, scrolls, and weapons and equipment stored in the warehouse by Erinikas.
If things like the portal were not impossible to dismantle, he would probably not let go of the portal either.
By the time they had fought their way into Erinikas's most private chambers, the value of the spoils had far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
You have to know that when they were exiled, Erinikas and Badi had basically nothing on them.
But after coming to Askatla, the former, with his powerful spellcasting ability, accumulated such an astonishing wealth from scratch in just less than two years, which is enough to prove how terrifying the speed at which a legendary wizard acquires wealth is.
However, it is unknown how much of this wealth was obtained through legitimate transactions and how much was obtained through trickery and robbery.
"This room... looks really creepy."
Seeing the furnishings in Erinikas' room, Davian immediately couldn't help but give his own evaluation.
He said this because the room was densely packed with various body parts.
Placed at the head of the bed were two embalmed arms and hands, and under the bed were two severed slender thighs.
As for the body without limbs and head, it lay in the middle like a doll.
The head was hung on the ceiling above, and some kind of necromancy magic was cast on the two eyes, allowing them to move back and forth like a living person.
"Please... please! Kill me! Don't let me endure this endless torture any longer."
The lips on the head suddenly began to move and speak.
"Do you know who you are?"
Since its appearance was well preserved, almost the same as when it was alive, Zuo Si could easily recognize that it was a replica of the Elf Queen Alixing, no different from those in glass jars outside.
"I... I don't know! Master... Horrible master! Cruel master! Just because I said something wrong, he turned me into what I am now. Please, give me a quick death. I really don't want to live this way."
The replica struggled violently like crazy.
Her struggle would cause her separated body, arms and legs to twitch as well.
"If you tell me where Erinikas hid his most precious notes, I will help you get rid of it." Zuo Si calmly put forward the conditions.
As someone who was very knowledgeable about necromancy magic, he knew very well that the replica in front of him had actually died a long time ago.
But Erinikas cruelly used necromancy magic to keep him alive and ensured that his sensory system could function normally, in order to torture him and make him feel a pain worse than death.
This is one of the reasons why Necromancers are so notorious in Faerun.
If you fall into their hands, even if you are just a corpse, you will experience torture that is a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times more terrible than death.
What's more, Erinikas is not a mage specializing in necromancy.
"Behind the wall! But the master has set up a powerful protective magic on it, and only he can pass through it."
The eager replica didn't hide anything and gave the answer directly.
"wall?"
Zuo Si turned his gaze towards the place where the clone was looking and subconsciously stretched out his finger to touch it lightly.
moment!
An astonishing amount of negative energy gushed out from inside.
If it weren't for the voter's ability to have a permanent [Anti-Death Barrier], he would probably have suffered some injuries.
"A trap plus a magic barrier unique to elves? A secret door that can't even be detected by magic vision and true seeing? That's interesting."
Zuo Si was obviously interested and began to try to crack it using the knowledge he had mastered.
After about half an hour, he finally broke through the barrier which was so complicated that it looked like a small maze.
After the illusion and force wall cast on the wall disappeared, a small space only big enough for one person to stand was finally revealed.
The basic notes on the table are undoubtedly Erinikas' most valuable asset.
Without saying a word, Zuo Si immediately picked up the book on top and flipped through it, and found that it was a record of research on saints.
In his notes, Erinikas elaborated on his understanding of the divine spark and divine power.
He also made it clear that he had already glimpsed the biggest secret of becoming a god from a mortal.
But the problem is that the Saint of Amaunator is too weak to support himself in completing the next series of experiments.
So he urgently needed a new experimental subject, a divine creature that was healthy, strong enough to endure cruel torture.
Unfortunately, due to having lived in an isolated forest for a long time, Erinikas didn't know much about the outside world and had no idea what was going on, so he finally approached Zuo Si for a second transaction.
There is no doubt that this notebook's research on creatures like gods is still very superficial, but it gave Zuo Si many ideas for dealing with the incarnations of gods.
Just as he had guessed before, God is a 100% pure spiritual being, so if you want to truly kill a God, you must possess equal spiritual power.
To put it in a more understandable way, one must reach the same level of thought and philosophy as God.
Normally, only fellow gods can do this.
However, the Abyss, which represents the chaotic evil of the multiverse, and Baator, which represents the lawful evil, seem to possess similar abilities. The Abyss Lords and Devil Dukes who hold the title of godslayers are the best examples.
Fortunately, defeating an avatar or saint is much easier than killing the god himself.
As long as one can counter the divine power to a certain extent, then fighting against the incarnation of God is essentially no different from fighting against other powerful creatures from other planes.
Ultimately, it's a confrontation between energy and energy.
Whoever possesses greater energy will win the battle.
The reason why the founder of the Cult of the Dragon was able to make the Lord of the Dawn, Lathander, bleed was because he used the silver fire remaining in his body.
Similarly, the reason why he was killed instantly by the opponent was that he was just a mortal after all.
Ordinary one to nine ring magic alone can hardly pose any threat to the battle incarnation that possesses amazing divine power.
And Losander would not give him the opportunity to cast more powerful legendary magic.
In addition, the Lord of Dawn also possesses a portion of the sun's priesthood, and is naturally very restrained against undead creatures such as liches and dracolichs.
The final defeat is not worth making a fuss about.
But Zuo Si was different.
Not only does he possess abundant divine power in his body, but he can also use the abilities of a planeswalker to continuously draw energy from the magic network and the earth veins.
Coupled with the incredibly powerful divine impact scepter, it shouldn't be difficult to kill an incarnation of a god.
