Chapter 157 The Gate of the Abyss
Chapter 157: The Gate of the Abyss
The Port of Amprados was once the third largest port city in the south, with more than 50,000 permanent residents and thousands of ships. A large amount of goods were transported from here to all parts of the world, and fresh seafood also came ashore from here, radiating the surrounding cities.
But this is all the glory of the past, and now it has a more familiar name - the Gate of the Abyss.
This place has become the bridgehead for the Abyss World to the human world, and the base camp of the Abyss Monsters. At the original port, a huge magic array was shrouded in thick fog and appeared and disappeared. This magic array is the legendary gate of the abyss. Every once in a while, the magic array produces violent fluctuations, and a large number of monsters surge out of the thick fog, which means that a new batch of monsters are teleported to the human world.
Relying on this magic array that is constantly operating day and night, the number of abyss monsters in the human world is increasing, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger, constantly squeezing the living space of human beings. If this continues, the abyss monsters will completely occupy the entire human world, and the time for extinction of other species is not far away.
The monsters transmitted at one time by the Gate of the Abyss are not measured in quantity or volume. If they are just low-level monsters, they can teleport hundreds or thousands at a time. However, if they are high-level monsters, such as monsters such as taurens, double-headed dogs or iron-winged dragons, they can only teleport three or five at a time, so the number of high-level monsters has always been small.
As for the Lord of the Abyss, there are not a single top monster like the Abyss Demon. Their strength is too strong and the Abyss Gate cannot afford to teleport over. Fortunately, this is the case. The top mages of humans have been almost assassinated. If these terrifying existences of the Abyss Lord level arrived, humans would not have the ability to resist at all, and they would have been destroyed long ago.
Another strong fluctuation, and another new group of monsters were teleported over. But what made the monsters nearby stranger was that for a long time, nothing came out of the thick fog. This was obviously an abnormal phenomenon. For a moment, the monsters nearby stretched their necks to see what was going on.
After a while, there was finally a change in the thick fog. A slender figure slowly walked out of the thick fog. It was a human-shaped creature with a very human-like appearance, but the eyes were not white, and the whole body was black. The ears had no auricle, but were just a circle of thread-like concave inward.
His skin was extremely pale, with no trace of blood. There were some fine marks on his face, as if it had been cracked and quilted up, looking weird and evil.
The aura of this creature was mediocre and its body was extremely thin. In the eyes of the abyss monsters, such creatures could only be reduced to food. The monsters entrenched nearby made a commotion.
When these abyss monsters appeared in the human world, occupied the place, and ate all the residents of the city, they expanded in a row. There was no clear strategic goal between them, but what really drove them was hunger.
Abyss monsters that only know how to destroy but do not produce, after eating all the food they can find, they will look at their same kind of people. They have been here in the abyss for tens of thousands of years, and big monsters eat small monsters.
These monsters entrenched near the Abyss Gate are because a batch of monsters are transmitted here every once in a while, and food is easy to obtain, so they will entrench here without leaving. This newly emerging creature is obviously the best-tasting food from its appearance. Most monsters have low intelligence levels, and their way of judging strength is intuitively based on each other's breath. This creature that does not feel the powerful aura is obviously not the kind of powerful existence they understand.
Several nearby monsters took their ideas to this creature, but they never thought that even the iron-winged dragon could teleport three or four heads at a time. Why did only a slim humanoid come here this time? Is this creature more terrifying than the three or four heads of the iron-winged dragon?
The corrupt jackal is a cunning monster, eating almost everything. It immediately blocked the humanoid creature, grinning and showing sharp teeth.
It thought the other party would show a panic expression, and then it would take this opportunity to directly break the other party's neck. It used to do this like this when it was in the abyss. Unfortunately, this humanoid creature had no expression of fear at all. Instead, it stared at the corrupt jackal, and its dark pupils flashed through the eyes, like the eyes of a poisonous snake. At the same time, the humanoid creature also opened its mouth. Compared with its face, its mouth was very wide, with its corners grinding to the base of its ears, revealing its fine and sharp teeth.
At the same time as the humanoid grinned, a terrifying aura burst out from his body, as if there was a giant abyss hidden inside the slender figure.
The corrupt jackal's face changed suddenly, his eyes almost fell off, his butt was clamped and he suddenly opened away.
Not only the corrupt jackals, but also the abyss monsters that were entrenched around at the beginning, shrank aside collectively. Zhan Zhanji shrank his head and didn't even dare to look at this humanoid creature. The aura that burst out at that moment was really terrible, and it was not at all a level that these monsters could match.
After looking around for a week, seeing that no one felt challenging his majesty, the humanoid creature put away its own breath, regained its harmless appearance when it first appeared, and walked slowly out of the town.
Oak bed, velvet quilt, rush pillow, magic lampshade, and a very ordinary noble room. Alex lay peacefully on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was completely gone, he would not look like a dead person at all. No one would have thought that he was still frozen in the crystal coffin not long ago.
The slightly pale skin was full of elasticity. Although it was not as sporty as a woman, it was at least considered pampered. The shiny hair and nails made him look so vivid.
Lilith stood aside, and several times she couldn't help but want to reach out to touch her lover, but she didn't dare, because the most obvious difference between Alex and living people is the cold body temperature. Every time she touched, she reminded Lilith that the person in front of her was a dead person.
The Immortal Sacrifice depends on the strength of the sacrificed soul. It takes five to seven days to complete. At the beginning, Gris had already consciously enhanced Alex's soul, but no matter how strong it is, it will take at least five days. These five days are the most critical moment for the fusion of the soul and the **.
Obviously, the underground ice room was not the most suitable place, so he was transferred to the laboratory lounge.
The person responsible for transferring Alex was Alagon. When he heard Gris came back, he threw down the students of the Knights Academy who were training and rushed over. Alex's reincarnation was a huge impact on the entire human world. In the past, birth, old age, sickness and death were a law of nature that could not be violated. Only the most evil death wizard would betray his soul and the ** and pursue the so-called eternal life.
Those reincarnated mages are eroded by the immortal aura and will eventually wither and become the ugly, dirty and rotten corpse witch that can be seen everywhere in the dead world. No one will like a ** corpse, just as if they don’t like the death mage.
But if this corpse witch lived like an ordinary person, was not dirty or decayed at all, and there was nothing different from her life? I guess there would definitely be many beautiful women who would rather die immediately, so that their appearance could be kept at the most beautiful moment and would never age.
And such a corpse witch will not be unacceptable.
However, it is still a taboo to turn from a corpse into an undead creature. Even with an identity and status like Alex, he cannot do whatever he wants. Even if he is resurrected, he may have to live in the future in his future. Therefore, this matter cannot be known to outsiders, and those who know must be the ones they trust the most.
The laboratory was originally the forbidden area of the academy. After Alagang came, the family knights quietly added the guards here. It can almost be said that even a fly could not fly in.
"That's all? He might really wake up in five days?" Lilith's question was repeated many times. She had been by her entire sacrifice process and did not see any particularly difficult places. She could not believe that she could resurrect a person who had died for six or seven years so easily.
Gris nodded. The most difficult thing about the immortal sacrifice is not the process, but the soul fire. If he is not an immortal creature himself and is unique, otherwise he would have to collect the soul fire that is enough to resurrect Gris, at least he would have to stay in the cemetery for a month. The breath of death there will dissipate when the sun shines. When it gathers again, it is already midnight. To collect enough soul energy in such a short time, it can only be accumulated day by day.
The most difficult part has passed, and the whole process naturally seems simple. In fact, whether it is Lilith or Alagang present, he can clearly feel that something is indeed growing slowly in Alex's body. No matter what it is, it means it is definitely not a change that a dead person should have. Lilith is just caring and being confused.
Realizing that Alex would be able to be resurrected in the near future, Alagon returned to his usual heartless appearance, and hugged Gris' shoulder and asked, "Gris, I heard you were sucked in by a hole, where did you suck?" When Gris was forced to send away by the Summoning Law, he was still looking for the ivy. He only heard Lilith describe the scene later.
"The Death World." Gris said concisely.
"What kind of world is that?" Alagang's curiosity was enormous.
