--------------------------------------

The wind howled.

The closer he got to the Reaper's Relic, the more Sauron felt the chaotic energy shrouded in the air.

Casting spells in the Eastern Kingdom requires a higher level of concentration. If the ability to focus on spellcasting is not enough, there may be a phenomenon of spell backlash. The exposed part of the Reaper's Ruins appeared in Sauron's line of sight. Before he got close to the entrance of the Reaper's Ruins, he felt a chaotic magical energy emerging from the depths of the ground. According to the markings on the map, this place has been occupied by an extremely powerful lich, who studies chaotic magic here, and the inside of the Reaper's Relic has always been shrouded in a wave of magical energy.

Lich.

This kind of monster that is almost at the top of the life of the undead is quite difficult to deal with!

Under normal circumstances, few adventurers are willing to face them, because even if the lich is killed, if their phylactery is not destroyed, these terrifying undead will be resurrected within ten days. Even if it is as powerful as a god, it is not easy to face a lich. Many prophecies cannot find the location of the phylactery. Unless it is some gods with special powers, it is difficult for someone to easily kill the Lich directly.

Sauron is one of the gods with special powers.

Because he has a very powerful domain - [killing domain], any gods who have mastered the domain related to death can directly destroy their souls when killing liches. Then let their life-saving phylactery become a useless waste. It is precisely because of this that some liches will serve gods who master death-related fields, and almost no lich will be so brain-twitched that they will actively provoke gods who master related fields.

A lich seeks the mysteries of death.

Although possessing enormous power unimaginable by mortals, in fact there is still a considerable distance between the lich and the gods. There have been many demigod liches in history, but so far only one has been able to successfully become a god.

That is the Lich God - Velsharoon (weak divine power)!

This lucky Lich God was originally a member of the ancient Red Wizards. Later, he got the guidance of the [Storm Lord] during his research, and was promoted to become a god by relying on his powerful divine power.

but.

The Lord of Storms was only planning to establish a god system at that time, and needed a god servant who could be driven and squeezed by him. For this reason, the Lich God was forced to seek cooperation and alliance from the [Mage God]. As a result, [God of Lich] successfully established a relationship with the goddess of magic, thereby avoiding the revenge of [Storm Lord]. This guy belongs to the grass in the gods, while climbing up the relationship of [God of Mage]. Using this to get close to the goddess of magic, while trying to please [Storm Lord] for his forgiveness, and then secretly show favor to [Lady of the Night] in exchange for more life-saving chips.

So far, he is worried that the [Storm Lord] will take back the bestowed power from him.

(Remarks: [God of Mage] has assisted the Goddess of Magic for a long time. He was originally the most powerful mortal mage, defeated [God of Prophecy] in a battle that lasted several years, and sent this The gods were imprisoned in the staff. Later, he served the goddess of magic, and was promoted to a god by the second generation of goddess of magic. As one of the important attributes of the goddess of magic.)

The relationship between the God of Liches and most of the gods of death is very tense, and they are regarded by many gods of death as potential enemies who may get involved in the priesthood of [death].

………………

hum.

A strange vibration came from deep underground. Then gradually subsided.

A powerful lich stayed in the Relic of the God of Death, and Sauron didn't need to guess what he was plotting. It must be the power related to the [Death] domain.

It's been here for decades, if not for the discovery. It's hard to stay that long near a dead desert shrouded in chaotic energies. You must know that the environment here is not suitable for magic experiments at all. If the probability of failure in magic experiments in other places is half, then at least it may reach more than 90% here. The external chaotic energy has affected everything, and the violent radiation of the death desert has formed a local tidal surge.

field of death.

As one of the gods who control the killing field, Sauron is almost certain to win this power!

—— "Shadow hides!"

Sauron's figure escaped into the darkness, and now he had to face the top lich as an undead creature, so even Sauron, as a god, did not dare to be careless at all.

Besides!

This lich has been entrenched here for decades. If there is really the power left by the god of death here, I am afraid that the enemy is no longer a simple lich.

Sauron suspected that the other party might have advanced to become—[Demigod Lich]!

——"Remove the trap!"

The entrance to the Reaper's Ruins is below the sand dunes, and before they got close to Sauron, they found an outer warning trap.

As the god of half-elves and rogues, such traps were not difficult for Sauron, and he easily dispelled the three trigger traps on the periphery.

——"Shadow Jump!"

The interplanetary phase shift helped Sauron avoid the first mechanism inside. Contacting this type of mechanism was too troublesome, and the structure on the surface of the wall had to be destroyed, which would easily alarm the liches deep underground, so It is easier to travel through the shadow plane.

—— "Dimensional movement!"

After entering the Reaper's Relic, it was dark. The undead did not need light, and the Lich did not set up lighting tools here.

on the contrary.

For decades, it has set up hundreds of traps outside, almost every three steps triggering a trap.

With a glance, Sauron found at least five trigger traps with [Finger of Death] and [Disintegration Art].

"Damn it!"

"This lich is really ruthless!"

Sauron stopped for a while at the turning point, and murmured: "If a team of legendary adventurers came here instead, maybe a few of them would die on the road just now."

"All of them are spells that trigger instant death judgment!"

"If you can't resist a little immunity, even a legendary professional will belch in an instant!"

Instant death trap.

This type of trap would be scary even for a legendary rogue to disarm. Because the rogue's immunity is not enough, if the trap fails to be dispelled, it may be instantly killed.

After passing through the 'death passage' arranged by the Lich, the number of traps began to decrease significantly.

However, there are more advanced warning devices.

If it weren't for Sauron being a god, when the trigger device alarmed the Liches below would not know. No wonder no one has thought of attacking it for so long. It is estimated that there are not many professionals in the Eastern Kingdom who can pass the first half of the journey.

"This is?"

After Sauron passed through the passage, his eyes suddenly brightened. This is a very wide hall surrounded by broken marble columns. Part of the hall has collapsed, and a lot of quicksand has accumulated there. There are many reliefs on the wall near the right, which are carved with some hideous undead creatures, which look like wars in the underworld, and the attendants of death holding a huge scythe.

"It really is the Temple of the God of Death!"

"It still looks like the god of death from the evil camp."

Reapers rarely have a good alignment. The current [King of the Dead] is just a neutral camp. You must know that he was a kind warrior when he was a mortal, and he was forced to change to a neutral camp after taking over the gods. Although the doctrine of the king of the dead is a bit biased towards kindness, but more often than not, he still maintains the neutral characteristics of the death domain.

"The god of death from the evil camp?"

"It seems that there are only a few of them?"

The reliefs on the walls provide Sauron with clues as to who the god of death is in this temple. The range suddenly narrowed a lot.

"Is it still the temple of [King of Bones]?"

Sauron carefully observed the surroundings, and murmured: "The scale of this temple should belong to the scope of the giant temple. The gods who can build such a large temple must at least be the gods of death with above-average divine power."

"Well then."

"There are very few qualified candidates. [King of Bones], [God of Murder], [Death God]-Naraku, [God of Slaughter], [God of Tyranny]..."

"The god of murder can be ruled out."

"After he was sealed because of madness, the church basically disappeared. The temple was almost destroyed."

"After all, his main enemy is the [King of the Dead]."

"[Reaper] - Naraku is still alive, if this is His temple, it is impossible to be abandoned, and it can basically be ruled out."

"【God of Slaughter】Don't think about it."

"His enemies are too many, it is difficult to leave such a large temple."

"Then the biggest possibility is [King of Bones] and [God of Tyranny]."

The Lord of Bones is Melkor.

The second generation of death. After his fall, Kelenvor took over the priesthood of death. The God of Tyranny was the predecessor of the Dread Demon God, and disappeared into history after being replaced by the Dread Demon God.

This temple has the greatest relationship with the two of them.

………………

Sauron walked through the passage on the first floor.

Along with the not-so-long stairs, a little bit of light began to appear in front of my eyes.

Some weird puppets appeared in Sauron's sight. They were wearing black metal armor and stood motionless in the corner.

"Skeleton guard?"

Sauron glanced and saw the bone frame under the armor. This is a bone guard with a challenge level of 12. The life made by high-level undead, most of them were powerful warriors in life.

"It looks like the temple of [King of Bones]."

Sauron walked around from the side, and after entering the second floor of the Reaper's Remains, some undead guards began to appear in front of him, and at the same time there were strange cauldrons at intervals.

The cauldron was full of dark green liquid, and translucent wraiths would emerge from it from time to time.

"Death boiler?"

"Is anyone extracting soul essence here?"

This weird Boiler Sauron has been seen in the temple of [Reaper] - Naraku in the past. It can extract the essence of the soul in a simple way, which is roughly similar to the way of raising Gu, putting a bunch of low-quality souls into it After cooking, you can finally get a high-quality soul, or a piece of soul purification.

Tempering the soul can only be done in the Temple of the God of Death.

There are thirteen boilers in total.

There are undead guardians nearby, and bones are scattered all over the passage on the side. Some souls will enter the pile of bones. After a while, a skeleton warrior crawled out.

"Fuck!"

"This place has become a production line for the dead!"

Sauron saw a portal through the fog in front of him, from which a strong power of death emanated. It was connected to a certain place in the underworld. This temple ruins had already established a passage to the underworld.

"So many souls?"

"Could it be that there is a [Soul Furnace] down there?"

At this moment, Sauron seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he murmured: "Isn't this the place where the group of adventurers found [Thousand Soul Heads] after the Holy One's catastrophe ended?"

In a flash!

A little memory that had been dusty for a long time flashed in Sauron's mind.

The time was about the third month after the end of the saint catastrophe. A team of legendary adventurers explored the death desert in the eastern kingdom.

They leveled three underground ruins in a row in the desert of death.

The most difficult battle was in the second death relic, where they encountered [Demigod Lich] and [Thousand Soul Heads].

In the end, they discovered the [Soul Furnace] left by a fallen god of death.

certainly.

The real discovery may be more than this, but what people released must be the most basic information. Basically, they will not tell others all the benefits they have gained.

"If it's really here!"

"I'm afraid I have to be careful next time! It seems that there is a little preparation to be done!"

Sauron stopped in his tracks.

The average occupational level of this group of adventurers in memory is about 22. They belonged to the top veterans who have experienced the intense battles of the saints. They all died three people when they swept here, and finally killed the demigod. The demon and the head of a thousand souls. Although Sauron is now a god-level combat power, he does not have much advantage over a team of legendary adventurers.

If you don't take it seriously, there is a real possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

"Demilich."

"The challenge level is level 21, master the legendary spell [Time Stop], this can deal with other legendary professionals, but it has no effect against yourself."

"Besides that, there are legendary spells such as Wishing, Gate to Another World, Howl of the Banshee, etc."

"It looks like it's time to summon a demon incarnation to assist in the battle."

"Thousand soul heads."

"The challenge level is level 20. Master fear aura, necromancy, dominance spells, etc. Half-spiritual creatures are composed of a large number of twisted souls. They are very difficult to kill monsters."

"It's a little troublesome!..."

Sauron frowned, and his figure stopped at a blind spot, lost in thought.

Two legendary challenge level monsters.

Even from the perspective of a god, that is a very troublesome enemy!
