Angel was shocked to realize that she had forgotten such an important thing.
No, it should be said that she had not carefully considered the reasons for "Demoness Sect"'s hatred of Female Witch before. Instead, she naturally thought that "Primordial Demoness" Cheek would tear down other people's umbrellas after being caught in the rain. She wanted every Demoness who was promoted to a high position to experience all the extreme emotions she had experienced.
It wasn't until Angel met Roselle on the island deep in the Fog Sea and heard him tell the secret of Cheek's killing of his own daughter that he discovered that "Primordial Demoness" did not simply hate Female Witch, but was worried that something terrible might happen if they were allowed to advance.
According to Krismona's narrative, Angel can determine that this change occurred before and after Four Emperors War, or even after the fall of "Blood Emperor" Alistar Tudor. In order to avoid the appearance of a female Mirror Person, Cheek even killed her daughter with her own hands and integrated the remains into the seal of Fourth Epoch Trier. Beyonder Characteristic took it away and made it into Sealed Artifact. Residual Soul was divided into two parts, making it impossible to resurrect her by any means.
The vigilance and fear of Mirror World and "Great Terror" made "Primordial Demoness" use the top power of Pathway to spy on the master of Pathway every time Demoness was promoted, unless it was shielded in a place like Underground Catacombs that had the power of God to protect and seal it.
Of course, when Angel looked back on the process of her promotion, she found that she did not feel any prying eyes from high-ranking beings. This was probably due to the blessing of Evernight Goddess and Adam, two beings who had been plotting a plan since she time traveled. She was on the verge of losing control several times during her promotion. It was probably due to the influence of these forces secretly wrestling with each other.
But Helene...
Helene Switching Pathways was promoted to "Despair" Demoness and became the real Female Witch at "City of Exile" Molora inside, and the Church of Knowledge Archbishop Hella Berg there is almost consistent with the name of "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Herabergen.
The various actions of this Archbishop indicate that he is either the God or the favored one of God. Whichever possibility it is, it means that God of Wisdom is focusing on Helene, which will effectively block the induction and prying eyes of "Primordial Demoness".
Therefore, Helene, this Female Witch, has not yet been discovered by Cheek or "Great Terror" deep in Mirror World? Krismona eagerly asked "not to promote Demoness of Unaging". In fact, he asked me to prevent Helene from continuing to be promoted?
Angel frowned, and felt that such an idea was a bit like treating Primordial Demoness as an idiot. The latter had descended into the body of "Affliction" Demoness Lisa. He had already seen Helene with his own eyes, who owned Hunter, Demoness Dual Pathways's Beyonder also saw the scene where she was given the power of "Unaging" and resurrected from the mirror. You should be able to guess the ending that Helene must Switching Pathways if she doesn't want to lose control and mutate afterwards.
Unless He had forgotten this matter, "Demoness Sect"'s habit of hunting down Female Witch might have come to him long ago... Angel smiled mockingly to himself, thinking that this matter was simply impossible.
Maybe it's because Helene is too far away from digesting "despair" and completing the "Unaging" ceremony?
Angel Another guess popped up in his mind, but then his eyes narrowed and he realized that he had made a big mistake Error.
She has been using her experience of being promoted to "Unaging" as the standard, but in fact, among the Card of Blasphemy sealed in "City of Calamity", many of the Promotion Ritual about Demoness Pathway are forged and customized for her!
The real "Unaging" Promotion Ritual needs to find his own Mirror Person, enslave him, make him fall in love with him, or reconcile with him.
This does not require a long time, or the "preferential treatment" of being a time traveler.
Helene Just need to digest the despair Potion in the battle between the Southern Continent and the believers of "Primordial Moon", and then get a special gift of "Unaging" If you have sex, you can try to promote Sequence 3 as Female Witch at any time, attracting "Great Terror" that both Cheek and Krismona are afraid of.
No wonder Krismona is so anxious, but how did He know about Helene? Did "Primordial Demoness" Cheek already know, but just didn't have time to deal with it, or did he ignore this "accident" for some reason?
Angel had so many thoughts in his mind that he had the urge to immediately return to the ground, grab Helene and drink "War Bishop" Potion into her.
On the one hand, this comes from the Charm influence of "Catastrophe" Demoness Krismona that has not completely subsided. On the other hand, Angel himself also has a fear of the deep secrets of Mirror World under the exaggeration of the other party's narrative.
The power that makes even a True God fear must come from "Sefirah", and may even involve the personality of Great Old One. And this power that may destroy the world can be easily triggered by a Saint promotion?
Angel took a deep breath, calmed down, and decided to put this problem behind him and deal with it after Underground Catacombs finished exploring. After all, there is still some time before Helene has digested Potion from Sequence 4, and whether Sequence 3 jumps back to "Hunter" or continues to be "Demoness" is entirely up to her as a boss.
Tracy at best... She made a joke in her mind, bypassing "Krismona Night Pillar" with a smooth surface and so dark that it seemed to absorb all light, and came to the mottled stone steps behind it that marked the entrance to the fourth floor.
The bottom is as dark as the third floor where Angel is currently located, like the entrance to hell, but in Angel's Dark Vision it is not much different from other tombs. At best, it is tidier, without densely packed skeletons in the corners.
This shows that there are very few people entering the fourth floor to bury the dead. Is it the influence of some kind of power, or... everyone who entered has disappeared?
Next time, bring Fors and let her collect materials from the field and write a book "Angelica and the Death Empire"...Angel pursed her lips and walked along the stairs through the rock wall full of human head reliefs and stepped into the dead silence of the fourth floor of Underground Catacombs.
As soon as she stepped into the tomb passage surrounded by ancient stones, Angel felt a cold breath enveloped her, causing her body temperature to pass away quickly, and her thoughts became Slowing like that of an old man who was dying.
Is it the power of dusk and death... "River of Eternal Darkness"?
Angel guessed the source of the power, and at the same time used the power of "War Bishop" to ignite a circle of purple flames around her. However, this high temperature did not give her any warmth, but instead gave her a weird feeling of Spirituality disappearing at an accelerated rate.
This is wrong. Even I, Angel, can feel discomfort obviously. Ordinary people will die on the spot even if they step on the fourth floor with one toe... The higher Sequence is, the more obvious is the perception of this power?
If Angel has realized something, he no longer tries to raise the temperature nearby. Instead, he unbuttons the first button of the woman's shirt and touches the special mark of "War Bishop" in the valley on his chest, strengthening the connection with Sefirah "City of Calamity".
In an instant, the suffocating and cold feeling that almost drowned her like a tide disappeared without a trace.
Only Sefirah can fight against Sefirah... This sentence came to Angel's mind again.
There is no doubt that this death and the power of Eternal Sleep are the biggest factors that prevent the official Beyonder from entering the depths of Underground Catacombs. High Sequence is more vulnerable to The impact of Sefirah, or even direct pollution, Low Sequence was unable to deal with these anomalies. Instead, college students and tourists holding candles had the opportunity to enter the place and view the skeletons Fourth Epoch buried here.
Angel looked up and found a series of black lines indicating the direction. This means that the fourth floor is open to the public like the upper three floors. However, the influence of Sefirah still exists. Even ordinary people will feel uncomfortable because of this and rarely come to this depth.
She looked around and found awkwardly that she didn't know which passage led to "Samaritan Women's Spring". The road signs only pointed to tombs with different names.
Fortunately, she was prepared when she heard the name "River of Eternal Darkness". She reached out and grabbed a handful in the air, took out the feather that was condensed from the characteristics of Sequence 4 "Undying" and stained with the blood of Mr. Azik from Mirror World, and let it float in the air.
The feathers did not fall straight down due to gravity, but slowly fluttered as if being lifted by some force, and then flew in a certain direction until they were blocked by an ancient mottled stone wall.
In that direction... This is just a piece of "Death" and Pathway's Sealed Artifact. They are all attracted by the power of Sefirah and float away on their own. If Sequence 4's "Undying" walks into the fourth floor, I am afraid it will directly lose control and become a prisoner of the power of Sefirah...
Angel watched helplessly as the feather clung to the wall, then took it off, found "Hidden Holy Emblem" and put it on again. He continued to move forward along the side passage, letting the feather fly into the air again from time to time to indicate the direction, and slowly approached "Samaritan Women's Spring" relying on the weak induction of the holy symbol on his wrist.
The passages here are different from those on the upper three floors. There are no skeletons piled randomly on the roadside. They look very neat. The entrances to the ancient tombs are also closed, making the originally spacious and huge Underground Catacombs look like a maze of narrow passages.
While twisting and turning, she didn't encounter any visitors holding candles. The passage was as quiet as death, with only the sound of her footsteps and the occasional friction of feathers against the stone wall.
Swish, swish.
She held up White Candle, which emitted faint light, and deliberately did not move lightly, trying to induce some abnormality.
Unfortunately, apart from the floating feathers, not even a Zombie appeared.
This gave Angel a guess: all the ghosts in this tomb, Zombie, have been attracted and swallowed by "River of Eternal Darkness".
And I was heading in that direction... She stood silently for a moment, catching up with "Wings of Death" which was floating faster and faster, and soon came to a tomb with a half-collapsed wall.
As she expected, the passage here was littered with many shapeless pale bones, like the corpses that slowly crawled here because they were unable to open the tomb door with their own strength and could only gather at the door until they turned into real withered bones.
And the "Wings of Death" was rubbing against the half-open stone door.
It seems that this is it... Angel put away the feathers, pushed open the crumbling stone door, and walked into the huge tomb chamber.
There were several skeletons scattered inside, and there was an upright coffin in the corner. The rotten coffin boards were randomly placed aside. Inside the coffin stood an old man wearing a blue long-sleeved top and yellow trousers. His face was deeply wrinkled, and his exposed skin was covered with brown patches that looked like corpse spots.
If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slowly, Angel would have almost thought he had encountered a corpse that had just been placed in the tomb.
It's very similar to the watcher who guards the inside of Chanis Gate in Saint Samuel Cathedral. It has been eroded by the power of Eternal Sleep... I don't know if it is because of "Wings of Death" "'s power, he regarded me as a companion and did not wake up... Angel quickly judged the other party's state and did not disturb the old man guarding here. Instead, he followed the direction of the scattered bones and came to a gentle slope downward.
Skeletons of various ages are denser here, some are mottled and weathered, and some are still hanging with dried flesh. They all lie down or kneel towards the depths of the gentle slope, as if they are worshiping something.
From that direction, an illusory crashing sound came.
The sound of water... is "Samaritan Women's Spring"? Angel was not surprised, but instead became more vigilant.
She first recited Honorific Name of "Fool" Klein, and informed "Worm of Spirit" who was on duty above Gray Fog about the situation here. Then she prepared for battle, then walked past the dead who were attracted by the power of Sefirah and walked down the gentle slope.
The sound of the water became clearer and clearer, and the kneeling skeletons gradually became complete, and one could even see the shape they had before birth. However, there were not only humans with two hands and two legs, but also monsters with bone wings on their backs or two extra pairs of arms growing from under their ribs, or monsters with a vertical gap between their two eye sockets.
These are the Incomplete Mythical Creature Form of the three Pathways controlled by "River of Eternal Darkness"...Angel was thoughtful, feeling increasingly uneasy.
It wasn't until the slope became gentle that a huge underground cavity appeared in front of Angel.
In addition to more and denser skeletons, there was only a pond-sized spring in the center. The spring was surrounded by dark things like silt, and pale water surged inside.
Inside the water flow, black hair like water plants floated randomly, and the interior was shadowy. Countless figures tried to climb out, but their movements were Slowing.
At the edge of the spring, a white figure stood among the skeletons. Her black hair was shawl, her eyes were dull, her face was beautiful but lacked vitality. She was the Krismona that Angel had just seen.
It turns out that He is back here... No, Krismona just said that his "fallen part" was lingering next to Samaritan Women's Spring, couldn't it be this one?
Angel's thoughts were spinning, but before he could make any move, the "Krismona" turned his head suddenly and looked here with his blue eyes, full of malice.
Wow——
The pale water in the spring retracted into the dark hole in the center, along with the black hair and the figure trying to climb out. Almost instantly, only the sunken area washed by the water and the hole like a black eye remained in the center of the cave.
This...Samaritan Women's Spring ran away?
Angel opened his mouth, unable to believe his eyes.
But the next second, spring water that was even dimmer than before gushes out of the black holes, and black hairs gush out like Distortion worms, followed by figures lingering at the bottom of the water, trying to climb out of the spring.
Angel saw a rotten corpse wearing a golden crown, a calm woman with pus, and a skeleton with oily feathers. They had ferocious expressions and stretched out their hands to grab Angel. However, because they were submerged by the spring water, they moved as before Slowing.
But among these monsters, there is another figure who is surrounded by them, like an emperor. His face is full of traces of decay, revealing the metallic bones underneath. His long dark red hair is hanging behind him, and his eyes are black with a hint of blood.
His body was ignited, covered, and burned by intense colorless flames. Yellow magma-like liquid was constantly dripping, and was extinguished by the surging spring water.
Angel recognized that figure, it was Historical Projection that Antigonus had summoned.
He, no, He is "Blood Emperor" Alistar Tudor!
