Arcane Journey

Chapter 100 The Fasting Feast of Pleasure

In the narrow tunnel extending in all directions, there was a faint sick light emitting one after another, illuminating Brian's way forward.

Just when the two were about to walk out of the tunnel, Brian suddenly made a stop gesture to Sisaiah.

The two hid in the shadows together, looking out of the tunnel with their probes.

Although Brian could see nothing but cold rocks and shimmering fungi, every now and then he heard noises in the air, like some kind of high-pitched clucking. Voice.

"It's the quasimoth among the demons of the abyss." Brian met the sword mage's puzzled gaze, and told her his discovery through telepathic voice transmission.

Quassai can also be called 'imps', very similar to the imps of Baator.

They are most likely to serve chaotic evil-aligned spellcasters, as advisors, or as spies.

In its true form, a quassemo is about 2 feet tall and looks like a tiny humanoid with horns and bat wings.

In addition to being able to cast invisibility spells on themselves at will, they also have the supernatural ability to transform various small animals.

Apparently, some powerful dwarven scholars of Dilro have domesticated some quasses as their familiars.

In the Vortex Tunnel, these little devils can just use the network of narrow passages in the cave to transmit information between the various territories, as well as reconnaissance work.

From the sound of playfulness in the air, he judged that this place should be a playground for these little devils to sneak in.

Brian signaled Hesaiah to hide here and not to move rashly. He took out a pinch of mica powder, threw it into the air outside the tunnel, and murmured a spell.

——"Second Ring Spell: Flash Dust!"

In an instant, in the dim twilight environment, a cloud of golden particles shrouded the area where the invisible little devils played, and the five little devils were outlined with shimmering outlines by the golden dust particles.

The little demons, who were blinded by the gold dust, screamed in unison, and fled in all directions like a flock of frightened birds.

The moment the two demons turned around, they hit the hard stone wall on the spot, and fell to the ground with bloody heads.

The other two collided with a soft mushroom handle, and the last one just met the volley sword controlled by Brian, and the blood spilled on the spot.

Three cold lights flashed.

Of the remaining four little devils, three were beheaded by Brian, and the last one was deliberately left alive by Brian and trampled under his feet.

"Who is your master?" Brian asked coldly, "Where are they hiding and what is their purpose?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, mortal." The little devil rolled his cunning eyes and said to him fearlessly:
"My lords are the chosen ones of my lord Graz'zt, Salis Silversong, and they have restored an obelisk. The fear and darkness of my lord will soon be upon you. Tremble, little mortals .”

Saris Silversong?
When Brian heard this familiar name, his deep eyes couldn't hide his surprise.

"Scared, petty mortal." The little devil said proudly, "Unfortunately, you are already late, so cherish the remaining minutes and seconds."

Sisaiah on the side frowned, and she noticed the change in Brian's expression.

This familiar look made her realize that he might have encountered a problem, or that what the arrogant little devil said was true.

Saris Silversong?
She secretly repeated the name of the little devil's master, and found that both the surname and the pronunciation of the name indicated to her that the little devil's master was probably an elf.

Did he know the elf?
Hisaiah looked at Brian who had just recovered from deep thought.

"So, your master is a golden elf from Evermeet Island."

Brian smiled and looked at the arrogant demon at his feet, "If I'm not wrong, then your name is Several, I'm right."

"How do you know?"

The arrogant little devil finally stopped pushing and looked at Brian in surprise.

"Looks like it's really the same person." Brian put away his smile, didn't answer its question, and chose to end the demon's life.

Without much explanation, he signaled the sword mage next to him to go, and then walked straight to the deepest part of the vortex tunnel.

After going uphill for a while, they came to a spacious cave.

Brightly lit here, you feel as if you are in the sun, the ray radiation and the soft light of phosphorescent fungus intertwine, illuminating the naturally formed rock face steps of the central terrace of the cavern.

Brian noticed that the reason why the light was so bright was more like some kind of composite natural phenomenon.

It comes from phosphorescent fungi that grow on stone walls and is enhanced by the repeated emission of natural crystals.

Inside the bright cave, there was no one there. The most conspicuous thing was an obsidian altar surrounded by black air, on which stood a red dragon egg that had turned dark red.

There is no doubt that this red dragon egg is the one that Argotus lost.

The strange changes in the dragon egg are proving to Brian that the demon lord Grazter is definitely planning to use the dragon egg to create an evil red dragon with both the power of the abyss and the blood of a real dragon.

At the same time, directly behind the obsidian altar, there is also a 50-foot-high obelisk.

The smooth black metal surface of the tower tablet is not complete, it seems that an obvious gap has been cut out in some way, and some kind of obscure and mysterious runes are engraved on the surface.

Through the mysterious knowledge he has mastered, Brian sees that this mysterious obelisk has the function of absorbing magic power and radiation from the earth veins.

It's not that he imagined that through this tower, he would spread the evil power of the demon lord and drive the residents of the entire city of Odus into madness.

Thinking of this, he looked at a cave in the deepest part of the cave.

Indistinctly, there were also some obscure and evil eulogies coming from inside.

at this time.

A Dillo dwarf wizard came out of the deep cave. He stood by the obelisk, stroking the surface of the tower tablet with his hand.

Suddenly, a flash of light was emitted from the obelisk, which stimulated the soft light radiating from the veins around the cave to expand instantly.

At the same time, the dark aura lingering on the obsidian altar suddenly became a little more dignified.

Seeing this situation, the dwarf wizard Dilo quickly picked up a sheepskin scroll from the ground, screamed excitedly, and then rushed towards the secret room deep in the cave.

"What should we do next, break in?" Hesaiah looked away from the disappearing Dilo dwarf wizard, and looked at Brian beside him.

"There is a demon lord's elect inside, which is definitely not something we can deal with." Brian glanced at the obelisk thoughtfully, and said to the sword mage, "Now is not the time to show up, let me do some scouting first. "

After finishing speaking, he took out a bottle of mind resistance potion he got from the gray dwarf alchemist, drank it in one gulp, and obtained 10 will saves that only lasted 2 minutes.

Then, he summoned his psicrystal, and through the mind link ability, let it look at it instead of him, and transmit the picture to his mind all the time.

Brian signaled Sisaiah to protect himself, then closed his eyes, transmitted his consciousness to the psicrystal, and manipulated it, drifting silently towards the depths of the cave.

After a trance.

He saw a sacrificial room inside, and the lighting torches on the ledges gave off a dim purple light, creating an unreal atmosphere.

Even if he didn't have a sense of smell, he could still feel the smell of incense and blood mingling in the air.

Evil graffiti is carved into the surrounding stone walls, depicting a creepy abyssal demon spreading tyranny and seducing mortals to their corruption.

Despite the poor lighting provided, the group of people lying around the altar is clearly recognizable.

They were disheveled, their bodies were entangled with each other unabashedly, and they uttered obscenities frequently.

Brian found that, except for the Dilro wizards killed by himself, all the remaining wizards of the Scholars Council gathered here.

Half of the wizards have reached the third level of strength.

He couldn't help secretly thanking himself for not rushing in with Hesaiah
Then, he locked his eyes on a huge obsidian altar in the middle of the hall.

There were piles of bones beside the altar, and a carcass on top of the altar made him stare straight at him for an instant.

This is a naked elf.

She was lying on the altar of Graz'zt, bound by chains, and her plump body was fatally alluring, making people's desires high.

The sweltering air seemed to stick to her skin, making her sweat profusely, and her plump chest rose and fell rapidly with her rapid breathing.

At this moment, the Dillo dwarf wizards under the altar got up one after another and surrounded the huge obsidian altar.

In an instant, the chant sounded.

"Sa, Grazte, Saza, Saza, Grazte, Saza, Ruo Saza! Saza, Ruo Saza!"

The obscene chants, as low as ghosts, seemed to come from the bottomless abyss of the distant evil plane, echoing in this sacrificial room full of corruption.

"My Lord Graz'zt, come down!" On the altar, the female elf bound by iron chains gasped heavily: "My Lord Graz'zt, come down... Enjoy our lives, come down, enjoy us."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Gradually, the darkness became deeper and the temperature continued to rise and the air became more dull. Brian began to realize that a pair of white eyeballs glowing with green light seemed to be looking down in the darkness.

This feeling made his sanity a little blurred.

As a rational wizard, he who never knew what fear was, suddenly felt the panic in his heart.

This feeling made him unable to think, as if all his strength and confidence were dissipated at this moment.

Brian looked startled, quickly controlled the psicrystal, used "space sliding", and escaped from the sacrificial room as quickly as possible.

However, to his disbelief, even after leaving the sacrificial room, a projection that made him breathless for a moment still appeared in his mind.

He saw a solid black chest and a pair of strong ram legs. The devil's face was sharp and angular, as firm and handsome as an elf prince, and mixed with the unique brutality and evil of a murderous maniac.

The demon appeared condescendingly in the entire sacrificial room, floating in the air before the eyes of the female elf.

I saw the phantom of the devil stretching out its strong arms, as if asking for power from the darkness, and had achieved a certain wish.

Hot flames spewed out from the body of the demon phantom, filling the evil sacrificial chamber.

All the Dillo dwarf wizards who were kneeling deeply on the ground looked shocked, obviously not expecting this situation at all.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!  …"

The cultists screamed in despair, all reduced to ashes in the flames.

With the death of the cultists, the phantom of the demon became more solidified.

"You are mine, Saris Silversong." The demon phantom looked down at the pair of female elves on the altar: "Accept my brand, accept the truth."

When the demon phantom suspended a six-fingered palm above the ketone body of the female elf bound by chains.

There was a clear trace of fear in her expression, and she flinched from the touch, but her body couldn't help twisting in response to desire, as if longing to be touched again.

…………

Brian regained consciousness, seeing a series of code-like Will saves appearing in his retina one after another, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he actually witnessed with his own eyes an evil ritual in which a demon lord transforms a servant.

In this regard, he can only secretly rejoice that he evacuated in time, and he also drank the mind resistance potion in advance, and even upgraded the "mind blank" ability to the highest level.

Otherwise, the people who eat melons are likely to be burned to death by the hot fire of desire.

"go!"

After calming down, Brian's expression froze, and he immediately opened a portal, dragging Hesaiah and disappearing in place.

"Where are you going?" The sword mage who came out of the portal looked at Brian suspiciously.

"After the evil ceremony is over and the projection of the demon lord disappears, we'll go check it out." Brian looked at the position of the obelisk and said to her solemnly.

Today, the obelisk is undergoing an evil ritual for the demon lord to transform his servants. If they enter rashly, they will die.

Therefore, he could only wait patiently for the ceremony to end, and then deal with the female elves, destroy their altars, and take away the red dragon eggs.
