Someone had moved the grave!
In this world, people respected the dead. Normally, they should not be disturbed after they were buried. This kind of behavior was prohibited by the laws of every country. This was also one of the reasons why people on the continent were against necromancers.
"There are necromancers around. It seems that necromancers are here!" Suhlen sensed a very weak necromancy aura.
"Sir, should we open it?" Luen asked hesitantly.
Suhlen nodded. "Open it."
Necromancers had appeared in this cemetery. This was not good news. The few of them were very fast. It did not take long for them to dig up one of the graves that had been turned over. When they opened the coffin, it was empty.
"Necromancers!"
"This disgusting aura is definitely necromancers. I still remember their aura!" Luen said with a gloomy face.
Suhlen's face was also a little ugly. He decided to give these people the harshest punishment for daring to cause trouble in his territory. He did not want a large number of necromancers to appear in his territory.
"Necromancy detection!"
A light flashed. There were no necromancers around, but the necromancy aura pointed him in the right direction.
"That direction!" The group set off in that direction. They passed through the cemetery and soon arrived at a forest. Luen continued to follow. Soon, they found a very hidden cave. There were lush vines on both sides of the cave. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to find the hidden cave at all.
"Don't come close!" A barbarian warrior wanted to approach the cave, but he was stopped by Suhlen.
"There are hidden sentries outside!" With the help of the strategic map, Suhlen easily found two hidden sentries hidden in a tree and under the vines. The two red dots on the map were glowing purple.
Suhlen pulled Luen and pointed at the vines, then at Luen. He left the one on the tree to Luen. The two of them each took care of one of the hidden sentries.
This was Luen's old profession. He couldn't compare to the Barbarians in frontal combat, but he was better than all the Barbarians combined. Unless the Barbarians understood the ultimate meaning of the Assassin's Creed and killed all the witnesses, he wouldn't be discovered.
After casting an invisibility spell on himself, Suhlen's figure disappeared in an instant. Soon, there was a slight sound, and then there was no more movement. At the same time, Luen arrived at the target location.
Throat Cut! Backstab! Kidney Shot!
Three consecutive strikes were unleashed in an instant, and the sentry was killed before he could even make a sound.
After clearing out the hidden sentries, Suhlen led everyone into the cave. To his surprise, the cave was unexpectedly large. Suhlen touched the rock wall and found traces of magic on it. The cave was not naturally formed. It should have been expanded by magic on the basis of the original cave.
The air in the cave was not turbid. After Suhlen cast a group invisibility spell on everyone, they began to go deeper into the cave. There were not many forks in the cave. After taking a few wrong turns, they finally came to a place similar to a hall. The hall was not small, about 500 square meters. The most eye-catching thing was a building similar to an altar in the middle. There was a blood pool in the center of the altar, and there were several smaller blood pools around it. There were more than a dozen bright red hearts on the altar.
At this time, the blood pools were full of blood, and the whole hall was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Blood sacrifice!
Seeing this scene, Su Lun immediately thought of blood sacrifice. Blood sacrifice became popular after the Witch King Era. At that time, many gods accepted blood sacrifice. Through blood sacrifice, they could quickly increase their divine power. Many gods would ask their followers to perform blood sacrifice. Among them, the desert gods liked blood sacrifice. The desert gods might need thousands of slaves for a blood sacrifice. When they held a grand sacrificial ceremony, there might even be tens of thousands of sacrifices.
However, later on, many gods found that although blood sacrifice could quickly increase their divine power, the side effects were very big. The resentment of the dead was also absorbed. This resentment was very difficult to remove. Once it accumulated too much, it would have a serious impact on the gods. Just like the desert gods, although they prospered for a while, they soon declined and finally disappeared completely.
Later on, the gods gradually rejected blood sacrifice. Only some evil gods and demons liked blood sacrifice. Of course, some primitive tribes also liked to use blood sacrifice when worshipping ancestral spirits. Now, even many gods of the evil alignment had stopped this primitive way of sacrifice. Of course, the Queen of Spiders, Lolth, still occasionally performed blood sacrifice.
Just like the Drows who believed in the Queen of Spiders, these Drows liked to fight among themselves. A city would be divided into eight families, and then these families would fight among themselves. Until now, there was no Drow Kingdom in the Underdark.
Even when they attacked the surface elves, they were spontaneously organized city by city. There was no hope of winning, but they still enjoyed it.
On the altar, a priest who looked a little old had a cruel smile on his face. He held a dagger with a blood groove and came to the front of a captive. The captive seemed to be under the control of a spell because he didn't react at all. With a cold light, the captive's chest was directly cut open by the sharp dagger. Blood gushed out crazily and flowed along the rocks on the altar.
The crowd below became very crazy. When the blood seeped into the surface of the altar, some kind of evil and strange power also appeared. The faces of the believers under the altar showed frenzied and intoxicated expressions.
The leader of the priests raised his dagger and dug out a fist-sized heart that was still beating. The hot heart was carefully placed next to the altar. The priest did not stop, and then went to the second sacrifice.
Blood sacrifice was a form that was difficult to satisfy the evil gods. If they could not provide a strong sacrifice, then they had to rely on numbers to please the evil gods. Often, a bloody sacrifice would last for a long time. Only when the evil gods were satisfied would they give power to the believers. If they were not satisfied, they would anger the evil gods. At that time, they would take the lives of the believers to make up for the sacrifice.
Suhlen looked in front of him. In his eyes, he could clearly see the rich blood-red light above the altar.
Evil god!
The evil god of chaos!
Although Suhlen could not be sure of the strength of this evil god, he was sure that it was the most chaotic and evil thing.
"I can't wait any longer!" No matter if it was a demigod or a false god, they were all very dangerous to Suhlen. However, that evil god was not here now. The prime material plane was not that easy to enter, and he could not let these people finish the sacrifice before making a move. After all, after the sacrifice, their strength would increase greatly, and that would be even more troublesome.
"All troops, raise your spirits!"
"Group haste!"
"Group enchantment weapon!"
"Boost morale (advanced)!"
"Curse (reduces enemy's defence)!"
Rays of light shone from Suhlen's body, and then the barbarian guards were all covered. The barbarian guards' strength increased by a level. Their fighting spirit soared, and they rushed forward like a whirlwind.
"Charge!"
"Whirlwind Slash!"
Dozens of barbarian guards charged at the same time, erupting with an aura like a landslide. The exaggeratedly shaped axes in their hands instantly swept up a storm of attacks. The outermost followers did not even have time to react, and were directly beheaded on the spot.
The moment Suhlen used his spell, the leader of the priests had already sensed it. However, he never thought that Suhlen would move so quickly, and that the barbarians would be so reckless, not giving them any time to react.
"Damn it, activate the warriors of darkness!"
A few spellcasters in long robes immediately used their spells. In a breath's time, a dozen figures covered in the aura of death rushed out from the corner of the hall. These figures were not slow, and they directly met the barbarians who were charging forward.
However, in the face of the barbarians who had activated their berserk mode, these warriors of darkness were still forced to retreat despite their strength.
Suhlen followed the barbarians, and with a sweep of his Purple Dragon Halberd, he directly beheaded an evil god follower that rushed forward, and then began his slaughter.
Although Bladestorm was a Sword Saint's specialty, other melee classes could imitate it as well. For example, Rangers could dual wield their weapons and cast Advanced Haste. They could also perform a similar attack with perfect dual wield. However, the damage was far less than a Sword Saint's. Another example was the Berserk Barbarian.
They had about 50% of the power of Bladestorm, but it was not too difficult for Suhlen. With his Blitz talent, Greater Haste, and his proficiency in spears, as well as his powerful stamina, Suhlen could easily achieve this state.
Suhlen's body was wrapped in lightning, and in the next second, he appeared in front of a priest. That priest did not even have time to cast a spell before he was killed by Suhlen. The Purple Dragon Halberd swept back and forth, quickly clearing out the surrounding warriors, and then directly pouncing on another priest wearing a mask.
These priests had a strong negative aura, as well as some strange chaotic energy, which made Suhlen very vigilant. They were the biggest threat to the barbarian guards.
Corpses fell one after another like grass being cut down, and the evil god followers who had already reacted began to frantically counterattack.
"War Roar!"
"Roar!" A deafening roar suddenly exploded. The space in the underground hall was limited, and in this environment, the power of War Roar was even greater.
Everyone felt their minds go blank for a moment. The barbarians were fine, as their Constitution was high enough, and they quickly recovered, but the evil god followers were not so lucky. Half of them were killed by the roar just now.
