There were also countless complicated passageways in the massive cave. The black mist within the cave had been dispersed, but there was still dense black mist gathered in the passageways. Thus, Irina could only release a holy light barrier to envelop everyone while she continued to venture deeper into the cave using her perception of the source of the black mist.
Everyone was very fast. After about 15 minutes, Irina stopped. The Holy Light Barrier shattered, and the black fog in the passage dispersed, revealing the huge stone door at the end of the passage.
The black stone door was about 100 meters tall, and there seemed to be a huge mural carved on it.
Crassus let three fireballs fly near the stone door, and everyone could finally see the image carved on the door clearly.
"This!"
Everyone was shocked.
Terrifying scenes were depicted on the huge murals. Dragons were tearing and killing each other; forest trolls were twisting off the heads of their companions while holding half of an elf in their mouths; scarlet-eyed goblins were riding on orcs as they chased after a group of monkeys; the endless sea was dyed red with blood, and countless corpses of demons floated on the surface of the sea as they were torn apart and eaten by a school of terrifying fish …
In the center of the mural, there was an indescribable object as huge as a hill. The giant dragons were as small as mosquitoes in front of it, and countless tentacles were reaching out from the hexagonal seal on top of its head. Those tentacles were filled with crimson eyes that were shining with a demonic light, as if they were about to break out of the seal.
"What kind of monster is this?!" Crassus was also shocked, and exclaimed.
"There's actually such a disgusting existence in this world. Evil must be used to describe it." Irina also shifted her gaze away in disgust.
"This scene seems familiar. The scene we saw when we entered the cannibal island was similar to this." Julian narrowed his eyes, and raised his hoarse voice.
"This should be the Great Old One, or the devil. It's similar to the stone statue that the Hairless Monk found in the Urba Tribe." Meg also looked at the huge mural with a solemn expression. The scene in the mural was very similar to what Rex had described back then.
If the stone statue could be said to be the imagination of those believers, then this huge mural that had been passed down from ancient times must be a warning left behind by the person who sealed it back then.
"What lies in eternal slumber may not be death."
Meg saw a classic sentence in the corner of the mural. He had seen this sentence in many books recently. Perhaps it was some kind of coincidence, or some kind of necessity?
"In that case, he's locked in here now, right?" Crassus gripped his magic caster's staff tightly, and his expression became solemn.
"Come on, let's go meet this big guy!" Irina said eagerly.
"Aren't you afraid? If I remember correctly, you're most afraid of these long tentacles? "Urien asked as he turned to Irina.
.. Are you sure? "Irina's question............ the world............
"That won't happen. We still have something precious to protect." ..... mages.............................
The towering door seemed to be specially designed for giants.
Julian faced the door and closed his eyes. Wisps of frost quickly covered the door.
About a minute later, Julian opened his eyes. He raised his hand, and a few ice balls flew out, hitting different spots on the stone door.
Accompanied by a dull creaking sound, the huge door began to move backward slowly.
"Be careful!" Irina reminded. She raised her hand and cast a Blessing of Holy Light on each of them.
As the door opened, a thick black fog began to surge out from the crack of the door. It was accompanied by a dull murmur, like a demon from the abyss.
The black fog crashed into the Blessing of Holy Light and dispersed. Meg held his sword with both hands and slowly walked into the world behind the door.
The dazzling Holy Light destroyed the black fog and pierced through the darkness.
Behind the huge door was a spacious cave that was hundreds of meters tall. On an altar engraved with countless ancient runes, countless black chains were intertwined to bind a huge object that was as big as a small mountain!
The four of them raised their heads to look at this scene, and their eyes were filled with shock.
It was an extremely huge octopus. Countless tentacles stretched out from its body. Those tentacles were full of eyes, and each eye was suffused with a demonic red light.
A hexagram seal was suppressing its head. It flickered with a faint golden light as if it would be destroyed at any time.
"Keke …"
That octopus monster seemed to have heard the sound of the door opening, and it let out a strange roar.
Meg felt as if he was suddenly being stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Those eyes seemed to be all looking at them. One tentacle after another suddenly extended and surged toward the door.
This was definitely a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
Meg raised his sword and prepared to fight.
Crassus and Julian also held their magic caster's staff and magic wand respectively.
However, just as those tentacles were about to reach Meg and the others, a faint golden wall suddenly rose around the altar.
The tentacles hit the golden wall as if they had hit a wall of fire. There was a sizzling sound of corrosion, and those tentacles actually started to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That huge object let out a sharp cry, and the countless tentacles suddenly retracted.
"The design of this seal is quite reasonable." Irina smiled as she put away her magic caster's staff. She walked around the altar, and wondered, "Could this be that fellow's head?"
"It should be. Just a head is so huge. One can only imagine how huge its body is." Meg also put away his longsword, and sized up this octopus monster with a frown.
The tentacles were wrapped in brownish-green mucus, and the squirming tentacles were nauseating.
"Should we burn it with fire? Or freeze it? "Crassus asked as he stroked his chin.
Urien walked around the entire altar with a grave expression as he said, "Normal magic is completely ineffective against the black mist, so there's no way that it'll have much of an effect on him. He's not in a very active state, which means that this sealing spell formation is still effective. The safest way is to seal him again on top of this spell formation. This fellow's body contains extremely terrifying magic power. Once it is released, we will definitely not be a match for it. "
Crassus frowned as he stared at the octopus monster for a while. He nodded, and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you this time."
"What do you think?" Irina turned to look at Meg.
Meg agreed with Julian's words very much. This was just a head of the Great Old One that had been cut off and sealed for countless years, but standing in front of it still made him feel insignificant as if he was facing an eternity.
He had to admit that even if the four of them joined forces, they still had no confidence in fighting this fellow after breaking free from the seal.
However, he had a mission!
Sealing it again was just a delaying tactic. If they could not find a way to deal with these Great Old Ones, they would still break free one day and harm the world.
"I want to try slashing it," Meg said seriously.
