Send Me Back to the Eygut
Amon's current situation was his own doing. He had awakened too many souls and freed them. He couldn't help but ask himself, "If I had known this would happen, would I still have done what I did?" The answer was yes. He would still have done what he did. He couldn't just watch the souls of his father and Mayor Dusti be imprisoned in the Underworld.
While he was thinking about this, Amon was also using detection magic to check the void around him. When he saw someone suddenly appear not far away, he hurriedly turned around. The gatekeeper of the Underworld, Neti, emerged from the darkness with a black mist-like chain in his hand. He said coldly, "Amon, please hand over your soul to me and become the eternal servant of His Majesty the King of Hades."
Neti's voice was cold, without a trace of human emotion. It didn't allow Amon to resist. However, just as the Gatekeeper of the Underworld approached, before the black mist-like chains in his hands could fully unfurl, he suddenly let out a strange cry of terror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He turned around and disappeared into the shadows, running away faster than he could fly.
He saw Amon take out three scrolls and throw two of them to him. There was also a grey scroll in his hand. Amon's decision was very simple. If he wanted to escape, he should try his best to escape now. If his soul was imprisoned by Neti, he might never have the chance. The most powerful means he had were the three unmarked high-level magic scrolls left behind by Nero.
Nero used these three scrolls as repayment, which showed how precious and powerful they were. Amon thought that he wouldn't have to use them for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would have to use them so soon.
After passing through the seven gates of the Underworld and seeing Kella, Amon judged that he hadn't gone anywhere else. He was still in the huge cave. It was unknown what kind of power Kella had used to set up a strange magic formation that made everyone who entered this place feel as if they had entered another world. It must also contain some kind of extremely brilliant spatial magic and message magic.
The silver-white scroll with a slender axis left behind by Nero was called 'Space Turbulence'. It could break the seal of the space barrier and was the best means of escape when trapped in a divine space. However, the casting of Space Turbulence would produce countless spatial cracks, which could hurt the caster himself. Therefore, it was a very dangerous high-level magic.
The other scroll with a golden shaft was called 'Information Annihilation'. It could disrupt the sealed information of divine spells and was a destructive divine spell. High-level information magic combined with spatial magic could not only be used to store and transmit information, but could also be used to create all kinds of disguises and traps. "Information Annihilation" was used for destruction.
The effect of these two scrolls was just right for the environment Amon was in at the moment. When he took out the scrolls from the bone under his ribs, he also took out the gray scroll with unknown effects, but he didn't throw it out. Neti, the gatekeeper of the Underworld, seemed to know his stuff. When he saw Amon take out these scrolls, he knew that something was wrong and quickly ran away. Amon didn't know which scroll he was afraid of.
'Information Annihilation' could disrupt the illusory world created by the magic, and 'Space Turbulence' could help Amon escape from the divine space, but he didn't know where he would be taken. With his current ability, he couldn't completely control these scrolls, and he might be torn to pieces by the countless space turbulence. But Amon had another way to protect himself.
Unfolding the two scrolls, Amon took out the bone from his clothes and unfolded it into an invisible ship in the endless void, entering the strange space.
"Information Annihilation" broke out, and there was chaos everywhere. He couldn't sense anything. Then "Space Turbulence" broke out, and the world around him seemed to be torn into countless pieces. The invisible ship took Amon through all kinds of messy forces, and he didn't know where he was going. Even Amon himself didn't know. No matter where he went, it was better than staying in this gloomy Underworld, where his soul was imprisoned.
He disappeared and escaped from the world of the Underworld.
… …
In the depths of the cave, in the huge underground palace, Kella's voice was as loud as thunder, "Neti, you can't even stop a fifth-level sorcerer! You let a living person escape from my Underworld … What angers me most is that, as the gatekeeper of the Underworld, you stepped aside to let him pass!"
Neti, who was always shrouded in shadows, stood in front of Kella and replied in a trembling voice, "My great queen, guess what I saw in his hand? He took out a 'Tiamat's Wrath' and was about to use it. "
Kella was taken aback, "What? Tiamat's Wrath? Who can make such a scroll? And who is willing to make such a scroll? "
Neti cautiously reminded, "The mage of Eygut, Nero. He can make such a scroll. Haven't you heard of him, Your Majesty?"
Kella frowned, "I've heard of him. He's a genius in the human world. Did he really make such a scroll? But this man died more than thirty years ago. How could Amon know Nero at such a young age? When he came here, I saw that he couldn't have a scroll with him. Besides, using Tiamat's Wrath is suicide, not escape. I can feel it clearly. He didn't use it. "
Neti explained, "He just held it in his hand and didn't use it. Instead, he used the other two scrolls — Information Annihilation and Space Turbulence."
Kella scolded, "Of course I know what happened in my realm. It was indeed the effect of these two scrolls. Amon is gone."
Neti's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of angering the queen again, "The Information Annihilation made it impossible for you to detect him, but I'm afraid he was torn into pieces by the Space Turbulence."
Kella roared, "If he really wanted to kill himself, he could have just used Tiamat's Wrath. If you didn't run fast enough, you would have died anyway. Why use the two scrolls? He obviously wanted to escape from the Underworld. There's only one thing I don't understand. He brought the scrolls in, but I didn't notice the gatekeeper of the Underworld. What do you think? "
The queen's angry eyes were as terrible as the Space Turbulence. Neti took a step back, "Mourrin. It must be Mourin's doing. Only a god can do that. She hates you for humiliating her and wants to embarrass you. She must have colluded with Amon."
How was that possible? Mourin was not with Amon when she left, so it was impossible for her to give the three scrolls to Amon. Amon's three scrolls were suddenly taken out from his body, seemingly out of thin air. As the master of the divine realm, of course, Kella clearly sensed it. But before she could figure out what was going on, the Information Annihilation broke out and Amon disappeared into the Space Turbulence.
But from Neti's point of view, Mourin was the only plausible explanation. The biggest doubt was left to Kella herself. Now there was another problem. If Mourin really wanted to exchange someone for Amon, the Queen of the Underworld would not be able to do so.
… …
Even Goddess Mourrin did not expect that as soon as she left the Underworld, Amon would escape without a moment's delay. When Mourin reappeared outside the cave in the canyon, she had restored her dress, golden crown, ornaments, and staff. She looked back at the entrance of the Underworld and said bitterly, "Kella, my sister, I will remember today's humiliation, and I will repay you sooner or later."
Just as she was about to leave, she sensed an inexplicable spatial fluctuation coming from the depths of the Underworld. She cursed again, "What the hell are you doing now? Imprisoning Amon and causing such a huge commotion? Are you trying to make things difficult for me? Fine, I'll send someone in exchange for Amon!"
Her figure disappeared from the canyon, and after some time, she reappeared somewhere in the Assyrian Highlands. This was within the borders of the Kingdom of Assyr, a vast and desolate plain shrouded in clouds and mist. Glaciers and snow could be seen everywhere. Mourin walked forward, waved the ivy staff in her hand, and entered a wonderful world that mortals could not see.
The vast grassland spread out like an undulating carpet of green. The trickles were so clear that the bottom could be seen as they meandered between the hills. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, flowers bloomed, and among the flowers was a beautiful palace, from which came the sound of dancing music. Who would have thought that there was such a wonderful place in the depths of the Assyrian Highlands? If the gods did not open the door, even mortals would not be able to find a trace of it.
Mourin quietly walked into the palace, passed through the cloisters, and entered a very luxurious hall, where the music came from. A beautiful girl was standing in the middle of the hall, swaying and dancing. She was wearing a light muslin dress, and her top just happened to cover the highest part of her chest. As she danced, her alluring breasts were faintly discernible. The lower part of her dress was very short, and a gold chain was tied around her bare waist, on which hung a tear-shaped pendant. The pendant kept hitting her raised hips, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
There was a reclining chair in front of the hall, which was originally the seat of the goddess, but now there was a man lying on it. The man had fair skin, looked very young, was quite handsome, and his facial features were like perfect marble carvings. He was holding a glass of wine in his hand, and was enjoying the dance of the girl in front of him.
"Shubra, Dumz, what are you doing?" The goddess suddenly appeared in the hall and asked, her voice revealing a deep chill.
Shubra, who was dancing, heard the voice, turned around and threw herself at Mourin's feet, and said with surprise and joy: "My great goddess, you have returned from the Underworld!"
Mourin said coldly: "Of course I'm back, do you want me not to come back? I didn't expect that my maid would seduce my husband while I was away! "
Shubra took two steps forward, opened her arms, and said with tears in her eyes: "No, goddess, you misunderstand … It was your husband Dumz who said that you had gone to the Underworld, and your sister would not let you come back. … He asked me to offer a beautiful dance and serve him sincerely, and he would think of a way to save you. I'm telling the truth, goddess, I can't lie to you! "
The man sitting on the chair had already jumped up, a little panicked and embarrassed, and tried to show a friendly smile: "My dear goddess, I'm so happy to see you back, I was just thinking of a way to save you!"
Mourin pointed at the beautiful maid and said: "This is your idea? Very well, then go and save me. The Queen of the Underworld wants me to send a man that I have loved to be Hades' servant, and that man is you! "As she spoke, she had already raised her staff and pointed it at Dumz.
"Mourin, you've gone too far! As a goddess, you can do whatever you want? … You lusted for Gilgamesh and was rejected, but you made Enkidu fall in love with you … How many men have you loved in the past, and then hurt them? I just asked an elf maid to dance a little, and I have to suffer such a cruel punishment! "
Dumz also showed an angry expression, and loudly scolded Mourin. Suddenly, he threw the wine in his hand at her. The wine turned into a golden mist, and the entire hall was shrouded in golden smoke. With a light shout from Mourin, the smoke condensed into countless tiny ice droplets and fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.
"Just a dance? Would I do such a thing? I'm not only punishing you for betrayal, but also for the crimes you committed during the betrayal. "Mourin's figure appeared from the smoke, but Dumz was already gone.
At the same time, he turned into a snake and slipped out of the hall and the palace. He quickly left the strange god's cave and disappeared among the mountains of the Syah Plateau.
Mourin's anger had not subsided, and seeing Shubra still kneeling in front of her, she shouted: "My elf maid, why didn't you escape with Dumz? Are you still loyal to me?"
Shubra's tears did not stop: "Great goddess, Shubra has always been loyal to you, you should know that."
Mourin's anger faded a little, and she slowly nodded: "Yes, I know that this is Dumz's betrayal. Take my staff, go to all the divine realms that belong to me, take my divine servants Shara and Taku, and capture Dumz. Take him to the Underworld and give him to my sister Kella in exchange for a man named Amon. "
The elf maid reminded: "Goddess, Dumz is your husband after all."
Mourin coldly said two words: "Ex-husband."
…
Amon probably never dreamed that he would be so "lucky" that Mourin actually ordered people to capture her escaped "ex-husband", and planned to send him to the Underworld in exchange for him. And where did Amon go at this time?
He entered the invisible ship, and the space turbulence erupted. In the chaos, he was violently hit and pulled by the turbulence, as if he was passing through a torrent of water. He was in a trance, and he did not know how much time and space had passed, and he did not know where he was. Fortunately, there was the protection of the strange space transformed by the bone, otherwise Amon would have been torn to pieces by the space turbulence.
A huge shock came from all directions, and Amon almost fainted. Then the invisible ship stopped, and everything finally calmed down. He actually appeared in a world under a starry sky. The invisible ship was stranded on the edge of the water, and he did not know whether it was a lake or an ocean. In front of him was the shore, and there were shallow weeds growing between the mud. Looking further ahead, there was an endless desert.
What is this place? How did he appear here? However, Amon did not have time to think. He immediately jumped off the ship, waved his hand to retrieve the bone, and rushed to the shore of the lake. Because he saw a cat, lying on the shore of the lake, very weak and dying. It was Schrödinger, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"This is the Syah Desert, the border of the Anunnaki. I know you have the scroll and the bone, and can escape from the Underworld. I used all the power I could gather to bring you to this place. Go southwest, take me back to Eygut … "
This was what Schrödinger wrote on the ground with its claws. It was very messy and messy, and it should not have finished writing. Its claws hung limply in the soft mud. The cat was lying unconscious on the wet soil on the shore, its fur stained with mud and had lost its original luster. So it was it that "brought" Amon here. What an indescribable miracle.
Seeing the words on the ground and looking around, Amon suddenly recognized this place. He had seen it in the magic images shown by Yoon Nam-na. The landslide caused by the flood had cut off a tributary of the Euphrate River. The river had changed its course through the swamp and converged into a huge inland lake in the northern depression of the Syah Desert. He was now standing on the southern bank of the lake. From here, through the desert to the south and then west, one could reach the border of the Cape States of the Empire of Eygut.
From the valley where the entrance to the Underworld was located to the southern bank of the lake, it was thousands of miles away. Amon had escaped from the Underworld through the spatial turbulence and appeared directly here. Amon did not know whether it was the space of the Underworld or Schrödinger's power, but the cat could not explain anything to Amon now.
Amon remembered that Schrödinger always liked to sleep. Was it always gathering power? But this time, it had used up all of its power to bring him here.
He picked up Schrödinger gratefully and used the bone as a staff to cast almost all the healing magic he knew. Light flickered by the lake, gathering from all directions and the sky onto the cat in his arms. But Schrödinger was still unconscious. It seemed that he would not wake up for a while.
Amon was worried, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at the message left by Schrödinger. The magical cat should be fine. It just needed some rest. Before it passed out, it left a message for Amon to take it back to Eygut.
Amon's original plan was to go to the Cape States to return Nero's relics after leaving Arcade. This time, he was able to successfully escape from the Underworld thanks to Nero, who had left behind the scroll. So, he decided to take this cat to Ejypt. He still had the customs clearance document signed by Drick.
According to Crazy 'Ole, this cat was "stolen" from the Temple of Isis. Now the cat wanted Amon to take it back to Eygut. Did it want to go back to its hometown?
Amon felt strange. Schrödinger could run from the Euphrate Valley to Duc, and now it could cross the desert and come here. If it wanted to go back to Eygut, it could. Why did it need him to escort it?
