Chapter 264 Star Prism

Since the end of his slumber, Cassius had not felt this threatened for a long time. Even the newly born Balor Flame Demon was just a little troublesome in his eyes.

But now, this call from the void made him feel a great threat.

"It's time to see the truth behind all this."

After a moment of silence, Cassius thought so.

If the other party really had the ability to get rid of him, he could have taken action during the battle just now, and there was no need to lure him over.

And with the current strength of the Red Dragon, the only ones who could prevent him from escaping were the demon lords with divine powers in the abyss, but these beings were rejected by the material world and it was difficult for them to appear in the main material world in their true form.

The existence behind that definitely had interests for the Red Dragon, otherwise he would not have cultivated it into a world boss in his previous life. And he might be able to use this to stage a drama of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, and take the power that should have been given to "Cassius" from the existence behind that.

Thinking of this, Cassius folded his wings, pressed them tightly against his torso, lowered his head slightly, and carefully entered the passage.

This place is spacious for many demons and fallen giants, but it is a bit too narrow for Cassius, but this is the only passage leading to the depths of the nest.

Fortunately, his dark vision can see everything clearly, and his light golden pupils flicker in the darkness.

Finally, he entered the deepest cave.

The cave is full of unclean black and red blood, twisting worms, and acid that corrodes everything.

However, this is not all.

"This is."

The red dragon's eyes revealed a rare surprise.

I saw a 20-face prism suspended in the center of the cave, each face was engraved with chaotic runes, and countless dark yellow lights shot out of it.

The black chaotic fog permeated around it, and those tiny particles kept moving irregularly, making a harsh scream, just like a small abyss.

"Astral Prism."

Casius whispered the name.

In his eyes, this twenty-sided prism is a portal to the Astral Plane, but it is temporarily infected by the power of the demon.

Astral Plane.

A familiar name.

It is a pure spiritual world, a silver void between all true planes.

It is boundless, mysterious, and dangerous. The warships of the Githyanki, the "Astral Pirates", often drift around with the silver stream and launch raids on various planes, but they are only a tiny part of the Astral Plane.

There are bigger and uglier things here - astral beasts, astral whales, and floating islands formed by the corpses of dead ancient gods.

Even powerful and mysterious planeswalkers regard this plane as a transit station that is best left as soon as possible.

They often skip the exploration step and prefer to use magical devices to complete this step. The most direct way is through the Astral Conduit or the Color Pool, which can rush a person directly from the Prime Material Plane to any outer plane.

"Star Realm?"

If it is not necessary, Cassius would never want to enter the Star Realm at this stage. With his strength, he can already have a foothold in the Star Realm, but he cannot deal with unknown dangers.

"Come on, this is the inevitable destination."

"Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, accept it all."

The low call came from the Star Realm Prism again, but this time the voice was stronger, almost like a wave, continuously washing the red dragon's mind.

"No..."

"Can't be affected by this voice."

The red dragon shook his head, his pupils flickering.

Even if you are greedy for power, you can't do it regardless of everything.

After thinking for a while, he summoned [Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye], and spit out a raging fire, and personally made a dragon-shaped incarnation made of flames.

The powerful will of the dragon sorcerer distorted reality.

The illusory dragon eye was embedded in the eyes of the incarnation, becoming its eyes to observe the outside world, and also becoming the connection channel for the red dragon to control these spell flames.

"Open it."

Casius only mobilized a little will, and each rune on the prism shone with the faint light of stars, and the gate to the astral world slowly opened in front of him.

Under his control, the incarnation of the flame element roared with a hot wind, and then went straight into the passage.

Through the [Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye], Casius saw that behind the door was a rainbow-like tunnel of light. After an imperceptible long distance, until the surrounding vision was blurred, he finally passed through the last portal and came to this deep void - the astral world.

"Is this the astral world..."

Casius's flame incarnation stood on the dark rock and muttered to himself.

In his previous life, he was just a mercenary wandering in the main material world, and had not accepted a high-level cross-dimensional mission. Until now, he had seen this magnificent scene.

- Surrounded by endless void, silver turbulence flowed in the darkness, dotted with countless twinkling stars. This was not just a light source, but also a portal to other planes, or a projection of some outer space.

There are huge islands floating in the void. They may be the bodies of giant beasts in the star world, or even the remains of forgotten ancient gods - their origins have long disappeared in the dust of history and are unknown.

The familiar voice came again, and this time it has become extremely clear.

"The fire of revenge is burning..."

"Embrace the abyss..."

"Come on..."

Casius's incarnation followed the sound and floated over.

He shuttled between floating islands one after another and finally found the source of the sound.

On the floating island with a diameter of nearly 10,000 meters, a three-meter-tall humanoid creature was tied there. The spread wings, ferocious horns, and exposed red skin all showed its identity - a Balor Flame Demon from the abyss.

This demon had three pairs of wings on its back, but they were asymmetrical. The twisted body was entangled in heavy chains, and its hands and feet were nailed to the stone. The surroundings were filled with complicated and mysterious magic runes.

The entire floating island seemed to be a huge prison, just for imprisoning this demon. Broken rock fragments floated around the floating island, and there were huge cracks thousands of meters long, as if a fierce battle had taken place.

The demon in front of him was not as big as an ordinary Flame Demon, and was even a little skinny, but it exuded an extremely dangerous aura all the time. As long as the seal is slightly loosened, the nearly solid fog of the chaotic abyss will leak out.

The demon was suspended in the air, with his head lowered.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed the arrival of Cassius, the Balor Fire Demon raised his head, the fire of revenge burning in his deep eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The trajectory of fate may change, but the end of the road has long been anchored and cannot be easily changed."

"This is both the destiny of the world rules and the final choice of the will of the abyss."

"Cassius, my most perfect and destined contractor, you are still here."

"Nice to meet you, I am the vengeful monarch-Jezalslak, the Balor Fire Demon from ancient times, the former lord of the abyss, and your future partner."
