V5.Chapter 102

Zoro's figure disappeared into the sky.

After he left here completely, the others present breathed a sigh of relief, and the professionals who were hesitant at this time came to greet him, although this kind of concern was felt after the girl 'Cicada' signed the demon agreement with Zoro. Kind of weird.

"what!"

A slightly muffled cry of pain sounded, and the professional who was closest to the girl 'Cicada' suddenly exclaimed, and then he seemed to be scalded by something, and quickly backed away. This land was originally where Sauron fought. Although the battle was over, the residual effect of his activation of the body of flames was still there. Even the sand and stones were burned and melted. One can imagine the temperature on the ground. is very high. This professional does not seem to have any flame resistance, so that the bare feet of the sand and stones are hot and red.

At this time, the other people who were close to the girl noticed that the ground temperature was quite high, so they could not help but stop three meters away.

"What's wrong?"

The middle-aged warrior monk at the head reached out and touched the ground, then quickly withdrew his fingers, staring at the girl in front of him and murmured, "Cicada?"

The girls seem to have noticed this too.

The temperature of the ground was gradually cooling down, but it was probably more than a hundred degrees. She leaned over and touched the sand and stone that was beginning to melt. The scorching temperature had no effect on her. Although professionals have strong physiques, they are still mortals in nature. If they reach out and touch the red-hot soldering iron, they will be injured as well, but they will recover quickly. The tough resistance brought by her physique is not enough to make her completely immune to such a high temperature, so all the changes can only be related to the demon contract she just signed.

"I don't seem to be afraid of fire anymore."

The girl stared at her white fingers, closed her eyes and seemed to be able to feel a force in her body, and said to herself, "There seems to be something else."

The aborigines are slow to perceive the power bestowed by others, but the ability bestowed by Sauron has already begun to take effect.

………………

Sauron is not a demon lord.

The contract of the demon lord can increase the attributes of the contractor by the way when obtaining the ability. For example, for an existence like the Queen of Succubus, raising two or three attributes of a mortal is like playing. He felt that he should have given the girl the ability to be immune to flames, but he was not sure whether he would give her some other powers because of the god's body.

Because even the priests and believers of Sauron's body can obtain the gift of divine power.

simply put.

That is, believers can access the domain mastered by Sauron's body. The most useful vocation domain in the past was [Wanderer], and rogues who believed in Sauron could obtain the blessing of other basic abilities. Including stealth, lock picking, theft, etc., and now they can access more areas, including [Tracking], [Evil], [Killing] and [Shadow].

The priesthood areas are easier to access, ie Rogue and Tracker are the easiest to access.

Others belong to the divine realm, and must be accessed by devout believers. The [Killing] realm should be the only ability that cannot be determined, because Sauron himself has not fully grasped the understanding.

The wind howled.

The demon summoning time is not very long. Zoro wasn't sure how long he could stay in the Eastern Kingdom, so he directly used the 'Advanced Teleportation Technique', ready to take a look at the surrounding environment.

A barren desert.

As a legendary existence, he can feel the violent force escaping in the air.

The number of wizards in the eastern kingdom is very small, and the reason is related to these violent powers. The disasters left over from the Arcane Empire period have made [Dead Demon Zone] and [Magic Chaos Zone] appear in many places. Wizards are prone to mistakes and failures in casting spells. Coupled with the inheritance problem of the Eastern Kingdom, the most spellcasters here are the warlock families. . There are very few wizards.

but.

There is also a very scary spell caster here!

Mad Mage.

A wizard who can't even determine what kind of magic he will unleash, they are very terrifying beings. In theory, they are the most powerful wizards, but this kind of combat power requires absolutely enough character to be able to do it.

With enough character, the mad mage can replace any spell, including all epic spells at his disposal, with the one-level spell 'Reckless Spell'. (Note: At most 12 legendary spells can be cast in one memory.)

This type of mage needs to hug the thigh of the goddess of luck. Otherwise, you may kill yourself.

Mad mages are few in number.

The reason why they are mentioned is that Sauron seems to have encountered one. The aura and fluctuation of their spells are very obvious, much stronger than other spell casters.

A wild mage who lives in the desert.

A relatively special building appeared in Sauron's sight. The reason why it was special was that it was built on a dilapidated area. It should be a house made of 'fossils for mud', and there were obvious warning spell traps around.

There are many ruins in the eastern kingdom.

This was once the core area of ​​the Arcane Empire. Most of the places where the floating city fell were in the eastern kingdom. It was the terrible explosion that led to the desertification and magical chaos here.

A spellcaster should not be disturbed casually.

Especially as Sauron is a demon, it is easy to arouse the hostility of the opponent.

But after taking a look at the ruins exposed on the surface in front of him, Zoro couldn't help but stop and slowly landed on such ruins.

The ruins are very large.

The ruins of the Eastern Kingdom are huge, because many of them are cities.

However, the ruins in front of Sauron were a little different, that is, on the broken wall that exposed the surface, he saw something remarkable.

All night text!

The power possessed by the ontology is at the soul level, so Sauron can also read and understand all the words.

What is in front of you is not something left over from the arcane empire period, but something left over from an earlier and more distant era. The reason why it has not been weathered until now is because it was originally a temple.

Temple of Death!

Serve the gods who are in charge of the priesthood of [Death], because there are symbols representing the gods of death on the broken stone pillars.

"Which god of death would it be?"

Zoro glanced at the mark in front of him, and was careful not to touch the vigilance spell here. It seemed that the mad mage regarded this place as his place, and it was possible that both parties might make a move.

Only a very small part of the surface is exposed.

Sauron could sense that there was a larger area underground. Spell fluctuations are passed from below.

"Such an environment! Seems unsuitable for wizarding life?"

Zoro glanced around and murmured, "Isn't it because I met a mad mage who transformed into a dead man?"

Undead.

Crazy Mage is prone to mistakes in casting spells, possibly poisoning, burning, petrifying, etc., so in order to further master the magical power of chaos. Some mad mages turn themselves into lich first.

Of course, a Lich with sufficient strength is a Lich, and a Necromancer with insufficient strength.

This is like an extra layer of insurance.

If you accidentally cast a spell that bites you back, even if your body is destroyed, it won't really kill you.

Therefore, this type of mad mage in the form of the dead still exists.

The magic aura suddenly became more intense!

Even Sauron could easily perceive the chaotic and violent power of the magic fluctuations coming from the ground. He could not determine what the target was doing, and could only judge that the opponent was casting spells continuously.

Such strong energy fluctuations. They should all be spells of 5th level and above.

It seems that this mad mage has lived here for a long time. There are simple camouflages around, and there is a sand dune next to it. Most of the buildings should be underground.

"Which God of Death is it?"

Zoro observed the ruins in front of him, trying to find some clues. He murmured: "The ancient god of death has long since retired, and the previous god of death has almost fallen. The current god of death should not abandon his temple here."

"It won't be the death god of the Eastern gods."

"The gods of the Eastern Kingdom seem to be part-timers in the field of death. The sign on the stone pillar should be the orthodox god of death."

The priesthood of death is scattered.

There is no god who truly and thoroughly masters the priesthood of [Death]. At present, there are two gods who master the core field of [Death], one is the god of death - Naraku. The other is the king of the dead - Kelanwo.

The ruins in front of them should not have anything to do with them, so it can only be the last god of death.

If it goes further, it seems to have something to do with Sauron.

Because before that, there were three gods of death, and they were the god of tyranny (the previous god of fear). The God of Slaughter (the source of the Son of Slaughter), and the God of the Dead (the most suffocating death).

The source of the priesthood of [Killing] is the priesthood of [Death].

Vivian's identity as the son of fear is actually equivalent to another kind of son of slaughter, because the god of fear also inherits part of the death domain.

The timeline needs to be sorted out here.

The first was the God of Slaughter, whose fall led to the appearance of the Son of Slaughter, and then the bloodline of the Son of Slaughter of Sauron.

Then there is the God of Tyranny. He once fell but was resurrected again. He who was successfully resurrected continued to exist for a period of time, and finally died again during the period of the Arcane Empire. This time, he died more thoroughly. What inherited his priesthood is the current fear. God.

The God of Fear transforms the core domains from [Tyranny] and [Strife] to [Fear] and [Destruction].

As a result, he became one of the most powerful demon gods in the bottomless abyss!

Then he died for some reason. Sauron didn't know the specific reason. It might have something to do with another god, but if he explained it in detail, it would be more troublesome.

Because that god is also a member of the god of death, but he is a lunatic and has long been sealed.

The world calls him the [God of Murder], but it shouldn't come out yet.

When the catastrophe of the saint is the most intense, he will really appear, because this time the catastrophe broke out and helped him break free of the seal.

The dread devil dies.

Then came the appearance of the Son of Fear, the source of Vivian's power.

To a certain extent, the relationship between Sauron and Vivian is really inextricable. The Son of Slaughter and the Son of Fear both originated from the God of Death.

"Whose temple will it be?"

Sauron stared at the ruins in front of him and quietly left a space beacon here. The time for demon incarnation is coming, and he may soon return to the bottomless abyss.

If you want to understand the secret here, it is estimated that the main body can do it, because there is also a powerful spellcaster here.

but.

Sauron still guessed in his heart that it might have something to do with the last of the three gods of death, that is, the god of the dead, Melkor.

Because this guy has the most relics left!

Moreover, the Eastern Kingdom used to be the most prosperous area in the entire material plane before it became the current desert. If the continental shelf was not collapsed and split into southern island countries, Amazon jungles, overseas islands, etc., then this used to be the center of the continental shelf. .
