Sauron's figure disappeared into the sky.
It was not until he had completely left the place that the others present were slightly relieved. At this time, the hesitant professionals came over to ask about the girl's well-being, although this kind of concern felt a little strange after the girl 'Cicada' signed a demon contract with Sauron.
"Ah!"
A slightly low cry of pain was heard. The professional closest to the girl 'Cicada' suddenly exclaimed, and then seemed to be scalded by something and quickly retreated backward. This was the place where Sauron first fought. Although the battle was over, the residual effect of activating 'Flame Host' was still there. Even the sand and stones were melted by the heat. It was conceivable that the temperature of the ground was very high. This professional did not seem to have any fire resistance, so his bare feet that touched the sand and stones were scalded red.
At this time, the other people near the girl realized that the temperature of the ground was quite high and could not help but stop three meters away.
"What's wrong?"
The middle-aged monk in the lead reached out and touched the ground, then quickly withdrew his finger and looked at the girl in front of him. "Cicada?"
The girl seemed to have noticed this too.
The temperature of the ground was gradually cooling, but it was probably more than 100 degrees. She leaned over and touched the sand that had begun to melt. The scorching temperature did not affect her at all. Although the professionals had strong physique, they were still mortals. They would still be injured if they reached out to touch the red-hot soldering iron, but they would recover quickly. The strong resistance brought by her physique was not enough to make her completely immune to such high temperature, so all the changes could only be related to the demon contract she had just signed.
"I don't seem to be afraid of fire."
The girl looked at her white fingers, closed her eyes, and seemed to be able to feel a force in her body. She could not help but mumble to herself. "There seems to be something else."
The natives were slow to perceive the power bestowed by others, but the ability bestowed by Sauron had begun to take effect.
…
Sauron was not a demon lord.
The demon lord's contract could increase the contractor's attributes when he obtained the ability. For example, a being like the Succubus Queen could increase a mortal's attributes by two or three points as if it was child's play. He felt that he should have given the girl the ability to be immune to fire, but he was not sure if he would give her other powers because she was a god.
This was because even the priests and followers of Sauron could receive the blessing of the divine power.
To put it simply …
This meant that the followers could access the domains of Sauron's main body. In the past, the most useful domain was [Rogue]. Rogues who believed in Søren could gain buffs from basic abilities, including Stealth, Lockpicking, Theft, and so on. Now, they could access even more domains, including [Tracking], [Evil], [Slaughter], and [Shadow].
Clergy domains were easier to access, which meant that [Wanderer] and [Tracking] were the easiest to access.
The other abilities belonged to the Divine Domain and could only be accessed by devout believers. The [Slaughter] Domain was probably the only ability that Søren couldn't determine its function because even Søren himself hadn't fully grasped it yet.
The wind howled.
The demon summoning time was not very long, and Sauron was not sure how long he could stay in the Eastern Kingdom, so he directly used 'Advanced Teleportation' to look at the nearby environment.
A barren desert.
As a Legendary-level existence, he could feel the violent power in the air.
The number of wizards in the Eastern Kingdom was very small, and the reason was related to the violent power. The disaster left behind by the Arcane Empire made many places here [Dead Magic Area] and [Magic Chaos Area]. Wizards were prone to mistakes and failure when casting spells. Coupled with the problem of inheritance in the Eastern Kingdom, most of the spellcasters here were sorcerers, and there were only a few wizards.
But.
There was also a very terrifying type of spellcaster here!
– Berserker.
A wizard who couldn't even determine what kind of magic he would release. They were very terrifying existences. In theory, they were the most powerful wizards, but this kind of combat power required absolutely enough luck.
If they were lucky enough, the Berserker could use the level 1 spell 'Reckless Incantation' to replace any spells, including all the legendary spells that they could master. (Note: At most, they could cast more than 12 legendary spells at once.)
This kind of wizard needed to hug the thigh of the goddess of luck, otherwise, they might play themselves to death.
The number of Berserker was very small.
The reason why they were mentioned was that Sauron seemed to have met one. The aura and fluctuations of their spells were very obvious, much stronger than other spellcasters.
A Berserker who lived in seclusion in the desert.
In Sauron's sight, a relatively special building appeared. The reason why it was special was that it was built on top of a broken piece of land. It should be a house made of 'Stone to Mud', and there were obvious warning spell traps around it.
There were many ruins in the Eastern Kingdom.
This used to be the core area of the Arcane Empire, and most of the places where the floating city fell were in the Eastern Kingdom. The terrible explosion caused the desertification and magic chaos area here.
He shouldn't casually disturb a spellcaster.
Especially Sauron, as a demon, could easily arouse the hostility of the other party.
But after glancing at the ruins in front of him, Sauron couldn't help but stop and slowly landed on the ruins.
The ruins were very large.
The ruins in the Eastern Kingdom were very large because many of them were cities.
However, the ruins in front of Sauron were slightly different. That was, on the broken wall exposed to the surface, he saw something amazing.
All-Night Language!
The ability of the main body was on the spiritual level, so Sauron could also read and understand all the words and words.
In front of him was not something left from the Arcane Empire, but something left from an earlier, more ancient era. The reason why it hadn't been weathered until now was that it was originally a temple.
The Temple of Death!
It served the god in charge of the [Death] clergy, because there was a symbol representing the Death God on the broken stone pillar.
"Which Death God's temple could it be?"
Sauron glanced at the mark in front of him, careful not to touch the warning spell here. It seemed that the Berserker regarded this place as his own place, and the two sides might fight.
Only a small part of the surface was exposed.
Sauron could perceive that there was a larger area underground, and the magic fluctuations were coming from below.
"Such an environment! It doesn't seem suitable for a wizard's life. "
Sauron glanced around and murmured, "Could it be that I met a Berserker who turned into an undead?"
Undead.
It was easy for a Berserker to make mistakes when casting spells. They could be poisoned, burned, petrified, and so on, so in order to further master the power of chaos, some Berserkers would first turn themselves into a Lich.
Of course, only those who were strong enough could become a Lich, and those who weren't strong enough could become a Necromancer.
This was equivalent to an extra layer of insurance.
If the spell accidentally backfired on oneself, even if the body was destroyed, it wouldn't really kill them.
Therefore, Berserkers in the form of an undead still existed.
The magic light suddenly became more intense!
Even Sauron could easily perceive the chaotic and violent power from the magic fluctuations coming from below the ground. He couldn't determine what the target was doing, but he could tell that the opponent was continuously casting spells.
With such strong energy fluctuations, they should all be spells of the Fifth Circle or above.
It seemed that the Berserker had lived here for a long time. There was a simple camouflage around, and there was a sand dune next to it. Most of the buildings should be underground.
"Which God of Death's temple is this?"
Sauron observed the ruins in front of him, trying to find some clues. He murmured, "The ancient God of Death has long retired, and the previous one has almost fallen. The current one shouldn't have abandoned his temple here."
"It can't be the God of Death of the Eastern God System."
"The gods of the Eastern Kingdom seem to have a part-time domain of death. Looking at the symbol on the stone pillar, it should be the orthodox God of Death."
The domain of death was very scattered.
There wasn't a single God that had truly grasped the Divine Domain of Death. Currently, there were two Gods that had grasped the core domain of Death. One was the God of Death, Nairo, and the other was the King of the Dead, Kelemvor.
The ruins in front of him shouldn't be related to them, so it could only be the previous God of Death.
If he went further, it seemed to have something to do with Søren.
Before that, there were the three Gods of Death. They were the God of Tyranny (the previous God of Fear), the God of Slaughter (the origin of the Sons of Slaughter), and the God of the Dead (the most aggrieved death).
The origin of the domain of slaughter was the domain of death.
Vivian's identity as the Son of Fear was, in fact, equivalent to another kind of Son of Slaughter, because the God of Fear also inherited part of the domain of death.
The timeline needed to be sorted out.
The first was the God of Slaughter. His fall led to the emergence of the Son of Slaughter, and then Søren's bloodline of the Son of Slaughter was born.
Then there was the God of Tyranny. He had fallen, but he was resurrected again. He continued to exist for a while after his successful resurrection. Finally, he died again around the time of the Arcane Empire. This time, he died more thoroughly. The one who inherited his domain was the current God of Fear.
The God of Fear changed the core areas from [Tyranny] and [Strife] to [Fear] and [Destruction].
Thus, he became one of the most powerful demons in the Abyss!
Then he died for some reason. Søren didn't know the specific reason. It might be related to another god, but it would be more troublesome to explain in detail.
Because that god was also a member of the Death God System, but he was a madman and had been sealed long ago.
The world called him the God of Murder, but he shouldn't have come out yet.
When the Avatar Crisis was at its strongest, he would really show up, because the outbreak of this crisis helped him to break free from the seal.
The Dread Lord died.
Then the Son of Fear appeared, the source of Vivian's power.
To some extent, the relationship between Søren and Vivian was really inextricably linked. The Son of Slaughter and the Son of Fear both came from the Death God System.
"Whose temple could it be?"
Sauron looked at the ruins in front of him and quietly left a space waymark here. The time of the demon incarnation was almost up, and he was afraid that he would soon return to the Abyss.
If he wanted to figure out the secret here, it was estimated that only his original body could do it, because there was a powerful spellcaster here.
However.
Sauron still guessed that it might have something to do with the last of the three gods of death, the God of the Dead – Mirko.
Because this guy had left the most ruins!
And before the Eastern Kingdom became the present desert, it used to be the most prosperous area in the whole material plane. If the continental shelf hadn't collapsed and split into the southern island countries, the Amazon jungle, the outer islands, and so on, then this place used to be the center of the continental shelf.
