Chapter 2578 The Depth of the Netherworld
Physical attacks can have an effect on demons, which is a great thing for humans. Although the strength, speed and destructive power of dogs after being possessed are higher than those of humans, even if humans wear armor, they are not as strong as canine teeth, but humans can still fight back.
Of course, if you want to fight the demon dog alone, you must train your body to the extreme, otherwise ordinary people can only rely on numbers and courage to fight demons represented by demon dogs.
Another way is to pray that you will never meet a demon in your life, so that you don’t have to face the demon and won’t be eaten.
In this world, there are religious organizations such as the King’s Court, which preach that there is only one true God and spread stereotyped wrong common sense, which will gradually make people not believe in demons and cannot see demons. Although not believing does not mean that they do not exist, one day the demon will be in your face and they will have to believe.
At this time, Duran and Denise encountered the cannibal demon dog and were immediately happy, because they were numb from chopping bad guys and finally met a demon.
Using physical attacks, Duran directly urged the horse to charge and hit the demon with a mechanical horse, which immediately knocked the demon ten meters away.
The demon was also knocked unconscious, but he was not dead. Duran continued to charge and drew out the long sword behind him, drawing the trajectory of the full moon, and cut off the dog's head in one round.
Cutting off the head is an effective way to exorcise demons.
"The lowest level beast ghost is really not difficult." Duran expressed dissatisfaction. He didn't want to think about which demon in this world would be difficult for him.
Demons also have levels. The lowest level is the beast ghost possessed by the vengeful spirit, which can only control other people's bodies and only enhance some abilities. The higher level is the apostle, who usually obtains power through the Overlord's Egg and the God's Hand. The apostle has special abilities, and his body will also undergo great changes. He gains the ability to transform and his attack power can be comparable to that of the army.
Above the apostle is the God's Hand. The God's Hand is the embodiment of the will of some higher beings and the channel for higher beings to interfere with the world. There are five of them, corresponding to the fingers.
Above the God's Hand are gods and demons, and above them is the abyss.
Beast ghosts, apostles, God's hand, gods and demons, abyss...
This level is divided according to the depth of the netherworld. The real world where humans live is only the surface of the world. After death, people will enter the depths of the world, that is, the netherworld. The shallowest layer of the netherworld is the area where the dead souls wander. This area is also the space that magicians can enter when they wander in the spirit world. It is also the space that the vengeful spirits must pass through to enter the real world, connecting the real world.
The second layer is the extra-dimensional space where the God's hand is located. The apostles trade with the God's hand here. The third layer is the space of gods and demons, the fourth layer is the abyss, and there may be a fifth and sixth layer, but this is already a depth that human self-consciousness cannot understand.
Humans know very little about the abyss, because humans know that there is such a depth, but people who have entered have never come back, so there is no information.
Humans mainly wander around the first and second layers, and borrow the power of the elements in them a little.
There are four elements in this world, water, fire, earth, and wind. In the first layer, there are elemental spirits corresponding to the four elements of the real world. As long as you cooperate with the elemental spirits, you can control the four elements in the real world. This is also the main attack skill of the magician.
Duran and Denise both use physical attacks, so they don't use the four elements. After all, if the four elements are used, the demons will be even more difficult to beat.
There is only one demon dog, and it will be gone after the fight, which is not fun at all.
"There should be apostles around this lowest-level beast ghost." Duran said.
This is a reasonable guess, because beast ghosts usually appear in places where there are a large number of abnormal deaths, because there are enough corpses to parasitize. In addition to war, plague, and famine, the sudden appearance of a large number of abnormal deaths is caused by apostles. Apostles are like human lords. Generally speaking, apostles will occupy their own territory and control a large number of beast ghosts for hunting.
Denise nodded: "Let's go. If there are apostles, we can find the Overlord Egg."
"The key to the law of causality, the inevitable choice of fate." Duran was a little impatient.
The Overlord's Egg is a very magical thing. It is the key to open the dimension. It is not that you can open it just by wanting to. You must go through considerable emotional fluctuations, and you must have the determination to sacrifice humanity, and of course, sacrifices are indispensable.
So once it is opened, the law of cause and effect is activated, which is the will of fate. The Hand of God will travel through time and space to fulfill the wish.
The Hand of God ignores time and space, and so does the Overlord's Egg. They are satisfying people now, people in the past, and people in the future.
Duran and Denise explored. There was a dilapidated manor in front of them, and the demon dog ran out of the manor.
You can tell it's haunted at first glance, and there are many vengeful spirits waiting to be possessed. After the vengeful spirit is possessed, it becomes a beast ghost, and there are several ways of possession. One is to possess corpses and animals, and the other is to seduce living people. Once there is a flaw in the living mind, it will be possessed by the vengeful spirit.
The vengeful spirit is afraid of the day, so the beast ghost hides in the shadows during the day and only comes out at night.
Denise and Duran thought this manor was really good. Although it was ruined, it was known that the owner must have taken good care of it when he was alive.
"Why don't we just use this place as our base camp?" Duran said, "Sometimes we have to do some research."
Denise naturally had no objection: "Then how do we deal with the apostles inside?"
The two men dismounted and walked into the manor, and found that the dusty hall was filled with specimens of various prey heads. It was obvious that the former owner of the manor was a noble who loved hunting, so there were many hunting dogs in the manor.
Unfortunately, the current owner of the manor has also become prey, because in the center of the most conspicuous wall, there is a girl's head hanging. It is obvious that the apostle is using his own way to show his love for the lady of the manor, and made her head into a specimen, just like all the animal heads in the hall.
The apostle who lives here must have been a member of the manor before, otherwise he would not think of treating the daughter of the former owner of the manor in this way.
"Putting out the heads of prey to show your bravery?" Denise obviously doesn't like this practice. A truly brave person will not kill.
Only those who are not brave enough will show their bravery by killing prey.
A truly brave person may never have the opportunity to show it in his life, but as long as there is a chance, they will definitely rush to the front line. This is true bravery.
Killing these animals just to show off yourself and use life to highlight yourself is a big mistake.
The blood-red eyes in the shadows stared at the two people, just like a hunter waiting for the prey to relax, and then the demon dogs would pounce out to hunt the two people.
Duran knew at a glance that there were a large number of dead people here, and their corpses were gnawed clean and hidden in the side hall. He said: "Listen, apostles inside, you have been surrounded by us, commit suicide on the spot, otherwise we will not be polite."
A short and ugly man walked out of the shadows. He was the breeder of the manor hounds. Because he loved the lady, he had to use the Overlord Egg in the end and sacrificed the lady.
He came, surrounded by red-eyed demon dogs, and said fiercely: "I am the one who surrounded you."
