Was the Lord of Shadows going to deal with him?
Søren stood in place and fell into deep thought. The sea breeze blowing in his face carried a hint of fishy smell. At a glance, he could see the fleet coming and going in the port of Mordor. This place was full of business opportunities and wealth. It could only attract those businessmen who pursued money because there were too many people moving around. Even if Søren had a large number of Rogues under his command, there was no way to cover everything. There were many eyes and ears in the periphery of Mordor City, and there might be believers of the Lord of Shadows among them.
Søren could only firmly control the inner city, and at most, he could only set up more informants in the area near the port.
Søren was not surprised that the Lord of Shadows was hostile to him, because there were too many conflicts between the two. Even if the Lord of Shadows did not want to deal with Søren, Søren would still have to fight with him in the future. Because the [Shadow] domain was also a shadow [Rogue] clergy, and because both sides were gods who mastered the same law. But now the Lord of Shadows seemed to have decided to take the initiative to deal with Søren while his foundation was not stable.
"I'll deal with whatever comes my way."
Søren stood in place and thought for a long time, but he did not think of a suitable way to deal with it.
Because the Lord of Shadows was the same kind of god as him, Søren had no way to grasp his whereabouts, and it was difficult for him to determine Søren's location. Because he was in charge of the clergy of [Rogue], Søren's church had trained many elite Rogues, but as a god who mastered the clergy of [Shadow], there were also many good Rogues in the church of the Lord of Shadows.
Their strengths were similar. Although Søren was at a disadvantage, it was not very obvious.
In this case, the best way was to wait for the Lord of Shadows to reveal himself first. At least he was safe in Mordor City. If the Lord of Shadows dared to attack him directly, Søren was 80% sure that he would stay forever.
However!
Søren had a fatal weakness.
That was Vivian. The little girl had not returned to Mordor City yet, and she, who was determined to face her fate, might not be willing to stay behind Mordor City all the time.
But at this time, he couldn't care less!
Søren was prepared to bring Vivian back himself. If she didn't agree, he would forcefully take her back. If the Lord of Shadows wanted to use her against Søren, then he would be in a very passive position.
Vivian was his lifeblood. He couldn't let her run around anymore.
Søren immediately prepared to bring Vivian back, but before that, he had to inform Gloria and Fallen Witch not to run around and pay more attention to the abnormalities in Mordor City. When the Avatar Crisis officially began, the Shadow Lord would not have so much energy to deal with Søren.
The reason was simple.
He would become a target to be hunted. After the Avatar Crisis officially broke out, a super BOSS of the evil camp, [Lady of the Night], would also appear in the mortal world.
This goddess of the evil camp had always coveted the priesthood of [Shadow].
The fragile alliance between the Shadow Lord and her only took effect when they used each other. At that time, both of them were in their God's Kingdom, and it was basically impossible to have a more intense conflict. But now that both gods had fallen to the mortal world, it was hard to say whether the fragile alliance agreement between them could be maintained. The Shadow Lord must be very afraid to see the Lady of the Night now, which was why he had been hiding. He might have the idea of accumulating strength to deal with the Lady of the Night by targeting Søren.
…
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The undercurrent of the material plane did not have much impact on the bottomless abyss. After all, the gods fell to the mortal world, and it was impossible for them to fall to the lower planes. However, the situation in the bottomless abyss had become more and more turbulent recently, mainly because many demon lords with priesthood and evil gods who had placed their God's Kingdom in the bottomless abyss had disappeared. Sauron heard a news from the mouth of the Ross Demons, that was, the [Blood Sea] in the bottomless abyss, which was the kingdom of the Goddess of Misfortune, had now been completely closed.
The evil merchants could not go through the [Blood Sea] to the lower planes, and could only go back and forth from other planes through the Styx.
The [Blood Sea] was closed.
The whereabouts of the Goddess of Misfortune was unknown!
The bottomless abyss was now in a situation where there were no leaders everywhere. Many of the weaker demon lords were not affected by the Avatar Crisis, and now they all stayed in the lower planes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, these demon lords fought with each other, wanting to improve their strength before these powerful demon lords returned.
Chaos spread.
In the third layer of the bottomless abyss, the [Forgotten Land], dozens of big and small guys who claimed to be 'demon lords' emerged overnight.
Gulumba Arena.
After such a long time of preparation, Sauron was finally ready to attack the interior of the arena on this day and completely conquer the remaining demons and goblins.
"Fire!"
With Sauron's roar, the battle broke out at dawn.
The reason why it took so long was that the demons in the bottomless abyss were too stupid.
Few demons knew how to use the heavy artillery sent by Sauron's body. He tried to train the artillerymen, but in the end, he found that the low-grade demons were too stupid, and the middle-grade demons were too reckless. These brainless guys would rather go up and kill people than stay behind and fire. In the end, Sauron had no choice but to let the Succubus who served him be the artillerymen. Succubus were very smart demons. After a period of training, these Succubus were soon able to use the artillery skillfully.
The overall strength of the material plane was not as good as the bottomless abyss, but the artillery still had great lethality here.
With the roar of the artillery, the Gulumba Arena was completely suppressed in an instant.
After three rounds of artillery suppression, the demon army under Sauron's command began to charge. On the side were the mercenaries from the demons. They were driven to charge bravely for the sake of profit.
The artillery fired six times, and Sauron waved his hand to signal the Succubus to stop attacking.
In the bottomless abyss, production was extremely low. Basically, ammunition could only be replenished from the material plane. The remaining ammunition had to be saved to deal with the enemy in the future.
Under the cover of the artillery fire, some demons had already rushed to the walls of the Gulumba Arena. At this moment, Sauron also pulled out a huge beheading sword. His body was burning with raging flames, and he flew directly to the center of the enemy's front line. There was a goblin demon warlock holding a scepter. He was originally the right-hand man of the demon lord, but now he had become the leader of the demon goblins.
"Master!"
"I'm here to give you a hand!"
A coquettish voice rang out. The lady boss of the Furnace Tavern also flew up at this moment. She was a high-grade Succubus, and she knew very well how to please her master. Now that the situation on the battlefield was completely suppressed, she immediately took the opportunity to show her loyalty.
The berserk demons rushed toward the entrance of the Gulumba Arena like a tide.
Sauron's body was burning with raging flames, like a sharp knife stabbing into the enemy's front line. He raised his hand and a flame whip gathered in his palm. The beheading sword spun 360 degrees and beheaded five to six demons. Then, with a swing of the flame whip, the flame whip wrapped around a goblin demon warlock and dragged him directly in front of him. The target was then engulfed by the raging flames around his body. In the blink of an eye, the target was burned into a piece of charcoal.
This was the orthodox fighting style of the Balrog. They loved to drag the enemy to their side and burn them to death with their flaming eyes.
"Burn them to death!"
"Let the flames purify everything!"
In the raging flames, another Balrog appeared on the other side of the battlefield. It had a pair of bull horns, a burly body, huge demonic wings, and bull-like hooves.
Sauron's ally had arrived on the battlefield.
It lit up the surroundings with raging flames, and then rampaged through the line of demons and goblins. Only when it was surrounded by a large number of enemies, would it use 'Greater Teleportation' to escape the encirclement.
The two Balrogs formed a pincer attack, and soon a large number of enemies died in their hands.
"The city wall has been taken!"
The berserk demons jumped down from the city wall one by one. The enemies guarding the city wall had all been killed. Now, the army of demons and goblins had shrunk extremely, almost holed up in the inner city of the Gulumba Arena.
The slaughter was increasing Sauron's power.
When he killed a Soul Judgment Demon, the accumulated demonic power erupted again, directly causing a new mutation in Sauron's body.
A row of data appeared in front of him:
"Ability upgrade!"
"Balrog form evolved into Balrog [Elite] form! … "
"You've mastered a new ability [Cleave]! … You've gained immunity to lightning, poison, and fire damage! … "
"Your ability [Summon Demon] has been upgraded! … "
"Your ability [Dominate Demon] has been upgraded! … "
…
A raging fire was ignited.
With a slight crackling sound from Sauron's bones, his body grew bigger again. Now he was close to four meters tall, and his weight had probably reached more than 3,500 pounds.
At the same time, his attribute page also changed.

…
The eyes of the entire battlefield were attracted by Sauron, who seemed to have advanced.
At this moment, he looked like a huge burning human-shaped flame, which made the temperature of the entire Gulumba Arena seem to have risen a lot. It was as if they were close to a hot lava area.
The aura of a demon close to the leader level spread.
Many demons and goblins were full of despair. They began to put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, trembling, "Evil and powerful Beheader – Sauron! … "
"We are willing to submit to you! We will serve you as our master! … "
Like a chain effect, after the first demon and goblin surrendered, a large number of enemies began to surrender. In the end, even the goblin Demon Warlock who commanded the battle put down his staff with a pale face. He looked a little uneasy and walked towards Sauron.
They had failed.
Now they could only pray that the other party would not kill them all. Otherwise, this group of demons and goblins would never recover from this setback!
