The channel at the bottom of the lake was dug directly out of the rock, because the person who built this channel was Ygrim. This channel is very spacious, enough to accommodate a big guy like Ygrim.
As Aaron gradually goes deeper into the passage, the light in the passage becomes darker and darker. Aaron can only use the faint radiance emitted by Truthguard to illuminate the way forward.
There were also several seaweeds growing in the passage that swayed with the water waves. There was a thick layer of dark green traces deposited on the stone wall below the passage. I don't know if it was Aaron's illusion. When he entered the passage, a faint smell of revenge lingered in his nose.
The second half of this passage slopes upward, and you can see that the exit is already above the water surface, and there should still be air left in the tomb.
As Aaron gradually approached the exit of the passage, the light emanating from Truthguard became brighter and brighter, which also made Aaron feel alarmed. Even if Zakajz had not yet awakened, there must be some Old Gods-type fish in the tomb.
"What the hell is this?" After Aaron emerged from the water, he saw a gentle uphill slope in front of him. At the top of the slope was an open door, and some dim light could be vaguely seen behind the door. However, Aaron had no time to pay attention to these at the moment. A group of monsters exuding an almost substantial black aura were wandering in front of him.
These little monsters are not very tall. When moving, they can only reach Aaron's thighs at most. They look like ugly monkeys. However, these monsters have wide mouths with jagged fangs growing out of them, making them look particularly ferocious.
As soon as these monsters saw Aaron, they immediately hissed and rushed in his direction. However, these little creatures were very weak and not very agile in their movements. After Aaron easily eliminated more than a dozen monsters, the remaining little monsters shrank into the shadows aside, cowering and not daring to get closer to Aaron.
"Do you want to completely eliminate these monsters?" Aaron saw that the little monsters did not dare to step forward. He looked back at Ygrim and asked him how he planned to deal with these monsters who were obviously from the shadow side.
Ygrim's face was very ugly, and the lightning shining on his body became a bit brighter. Hearing Aaron's question, Ygrim stared closely at the hall behind the door and said in a deep voice, "These things have a short lifespan. Don't worry about them. I'm sure there are bigger monsters inside. I didn't expect that it was just a dead body at first, but now it comes alive."
After Zakajz and Tyr died together, when Ygrim built the tomb, he took Zakajz's body as Tyr The trophies of were placed in the tomb together, but unexpectedly this monster had a tendency to recover, and Tyr's tomb was also occupied by Old Gods's minions.
"Come on, let us correct the mistakes of the past." Ygrim waved the oath in his hand to fulfill the oath, and strode towards the door, looking very angry.
Aaron hurriedly followed. Although Ygrim was powerful enough, based on Aaron's gaming experience, there were at least two monsters in this tomb that were comparable to him.
After all, they are all Highlord. There is no reason why anyone's artifact mission is simpler than others. The enemies they must face should be similar. Although the game and the various situations in reality cannot completely correspond to each other, they still have certain reference value.
"Damn monster!" Aaron was just thinking when he heard Ygrim roar and angrily rushed towards the door, followed by a burst of sharp blades slashing at the flesh and blood. Because there was no light source in the tomb, Aaron could only see the tall Faceless Ones fighting Ygrim through the dim light emitted by the shield in his hand.
This Faceless Ones is still above Ygrim in terms of size. It is very similar to the Faceless Ones that Aaron saw near Marris Stead that was transformed from a shadow priest, except that its size is much larger. Moreover, this Faceless Ones is not crazy. He is also mumbling some Shath'Yar that Aaron cannot understand. This kind of language is commonly used in the Old Gods camp. Just speaking it gives people a strange feeling.
"Zakajz is still alive." Aaron couldn't understand it, but Aaron knew someone who could understand this language. Xal'atath told Aaron What Faceless Ones said, "Zakajz is still sealed, and these Faceless Ones are trying to find a way to release it."
"It's pretty much what I thought." Aaron nodded. Thoradin's original attack caused serious damage to Zakajz. After thousands of years, Zakajz has not been able to break free., but it shouldn't be long before we get out of trouble. Aaron still remembers that the last part of the weapon battle's artifact mission is to use Thoradin's sword Strom'kar·War Destroyer to completely kill Zakajz.
"Death to you blasphemous monster." Ygrim roared angrily, and the Oathseeker in his hand flashed with a ball of electric light, piercing the chest of Faceless Ones who was blocking the way. After severely injuring the opponent, Ygrim quickly added a few more swords, and completely knocked this guy down.
Aaron walked forward and saw that Faceless Ones, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, had black blood gurgling outward from his wound, exuding an unpleasant odor.
"Aaron, use Holy Light to purify him." Xal'atath suddenly reminded him, "If you leave this guy here like this, I don't know how many Fleshbeasts will pop up later."
"Fleshbeasts?"
"They are those little guys you just killed a dozen." Xal'atath explained that most of the Old Gods monsters have extraordinary vitality, and even if they are cut into pieces, some secondary monsters will be born on their flesh and blood.
"That's it." Aaron was still wondering where those Fleshbeasts came from. Zakajz couldn't waste his energy on such a group of weak monsters on the bed tent, right? Now that I think about it, those little monsters should have been born from the corpses of these Faceless Ones.
Aaron put away the long sword in his hand, stretched out his palm, and pointed it at the huge corpse of Faceless Ones. A surging ball of Holy Light fell on Faceless Ones's body and turned into a ball of burning flames, quickly turning the corpse into ashes.
"Is this the power of Holy Light?" Ygrim looked at Aaron's actions and said thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, you are quite cruel to your compatriots." Aaron and Xal'atath said.
Xal'atath sneered, "Are they worthy of being my compatriots? Not to mention that I have switched to Holy Light now. Even back then, these guys were just my nourishment."
Aaron couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Xal'atath also called himself Old Gods. To her, Faceless Ones was just a bunch of useful tools. There was absolutely no friendship between compatriots.
After getting rid of Faceless Ones who blocked the road, Aaron and Ygrim entered the antechamber of the tomb. It was only after Aaron arrived at the door that they discovered that the door was not opened normally. There was an irregular hole in the door. Without asking, you knew it must be the good deeds of Thoradin.
"These filthy monsters, I swear to kill them all!" Ygrim roared angrily as soon as he stepped into the front hall.
Aaron followed closely and entered the hall, and immediately saw the reason that made Ygrim so angry: in the center of the hall was a stone platform higher than the surrounding ground. There were short round stone pillars around the stone platform, and a stone bowl was placed on each of the stone pillars. Each of the four stone bowls had a tentacle exuding a dark atmosphere that was constantly dancing.
Ygrim was so angry that he rushed towards a tentacle, and there was a faint sound of metal hitting the tentacle. The dark aura on the tentacle continued to surge, and a black light emitted from the top hit Ygrim. Then the other three tentacles also launched an attack on Ygrim.
Seeing this, Aaron held up Truthguard and rushed towards a tentacle. With Holy Light's help, it was much easier for Aaron to deal with these tentacles. Wait until Aaron After and Ygrim eliminated the four tentacles, the floor beneath their feet shook a few times, and a Faceless Ones, who was taller than the previous one, appeared on the central platform.
"Intruders will die!" As soon as this Faceless Ones appeared, spiritual power immediately shouted in the hearts of Aaron and Ygrim, and rushed towards them.
