Chapter 615 Abyss Sacrifice
Night falls and the bright moon is in the sky.
The surroundings were gradually falling into darkness, and Enzo and the other three were still riding forward. Due to the discovery of the Gluttony Totem before, Enzo, who seemed leisurely and content along the way, also had a thoughtful expression on his face.
The outline of a small town appeared in the distance.
"That's Hongfeng Town." Enoch pointed forward, but then a puzzled expression appeared on his face and said, "I lived here for a while a few years ago."
"I remember that although Hongfeng Town is just a small town, due to its geographical location, it is almost the same size as a city. It is very prosperous at night, but what is going on now? There is not a single ghost."
"Is it too late?" Kelly asked next to her.
Enzo shook his head and lowered his eyes slightly. From the outline in the shadow, it could be seen that Hongfeng Town was very large. As Enoch said, it was almost as big as a small city.
Such a small town has at least 100,000 residents.
However, the current Hongfeng Town is as quiet as a ghost town, with almost no sound coming out. This is obviously illogical and even a bit strange. It will never be like this even at night.
"What happened?"
Enzo murmured to himself, but his expression was very calm. As a fourth-level all-spiritual wizard, his perception ability reached a terrifying level when he was in the wizarding world. Even though he was still a long way away from Hongfeng Town, Enzo could feel it. Yes, this kind of town exudes an extremely strong aura of the abyss.
"Is it the Gluttony God again?"
Enzo frowned slightly, and some inferences emerged in his mind. The abyssal aura emanating from Hongfeng Town was very similar to that on the Gluttony Totem Slate, so there must be some connection between the two.
"Another wizard seeking death?"
Enzo was confused and thought, "Or maybe some stupid civilians, in order to satisfy their desires, chose to sacrifice to the Abyss Demon God, thus triggering a large-scale abyss incident?"
"Even the mark of the Gluttony Demon God appears!"
"What is going on with the Northern Parliament? Doesn't the Parliament always care about matters related to the abyss?"
Enzo looked at Hongfeng Town in the distance and frowned slightly.
The town in the darkness was in deathly silence. The strong aura of the abyss was as thick as a fog that could not be dissipated. There was almost no breath of living people in it, which meant that almost all the residents of this town were dead.
Hongfeng Town is a relatively prosperous town even in the Xingtong Kingdom.
All the 100,000 residents here died overnight, which is already a large-scale incident. As the territory manager, Crow Phantom should come to deal with it as soon as possible. If it cannot be solved, it will be reported to the Northern Council.
Parliament has always attached great importance to matters related to the abyss.
"so troublesome."
Enzo shook his head and looked a little unhappy. He originally thought that after returning to the wizarding world, he could relax for a while, but now that he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Although he is in the wizarding world, Enzo does not have to be too afraid of even the sixth-level Gluttony Demon. If the opponent dares to release his power into the wizarding world, the council will take action as soon as possible without Enzo having to do anything.
However, Hongfeng Town belongs to the Xingtong Kingdom after all.
And the Star Pass Kingdom is the territory of the Crow Phantoms. As a member of the Crow Phantoms, Enzo should go and explore when encountering such a thing, otherwise it will be unreasonable.
"Lord Enzo, do we need to take a detour?"
Next to him, Enoch asked cautiously. Even if he was only a first-level wizard, he could feel the anomalies in Hongfeng Town in the distance. Enzo could be fearless about the abyss and the Gluttony Demon, but he was not.
Even if the sixth-level Demon God of Gluttony does not come to the wizarding world in his true form, he can easily kill Enoch by sending a clone or even a projection. For a first-level wizard, the most correct thing to do when discovering such a large-scale abyssal event is to report it. to Parliament.
"No need." Enzo shook his head.
Now that we have met, there is no need to retreat. After all, Enzo is also a fourth-level all-spirits wizard, and there are two planes as support behind him. Coupled with the local advantages of the wizard world, even if the Gluttony Demon God comes, the opponent may not be able to defeat him. Could pose too great a threat to him.
After saying that, Enzo turned over and jumped off the horse.
He whistled lightly, and the black horse suddenly turned into a squirrel, looked around blankly, and then scampered away.
Kelly and Enoch looked at each other and jumped off their horses.
Enzo strode towards Hongfeng Town, and the two of them followed closely behind. The ghost town was getting closer and closer. Enoch took out his wand vigilantly and cast several defensive spells on himself.
Gulu!
Before approaching the gate of Hongfeng Town, there was a sound in the darkness. Enzo looked over indifferently and saw a strange figure crawling out.
It seemed to be a ghoul-like human being.
"Hungry...I'm so hungry!"
A wailing sound came from a man with disheveled hair, wearing tattered clothes. His legs and hands were extremely slender, but his belly was as big as a drum. He put one hand into his mouth and kept chewing, biting until the bloody flesh was blurred but he didn't care. regardless of.
"Human...human?"
Enoch was stunned for a moment, feeling the man's aura, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. As a first-level wizard, he was very sure that the creature in front of him was a pure human civilian and not a ghoul.
"Have you been infected by the breath of the abyss?"
Then, Enoch frowned. The man with a big belly was in obviously abnormal condition. He kept moaning in hunger, and his body also exuded a faint aura of the abyss. This situation obviously meant that he had been infected by the aura of the abyss.
"Cage of dirt!"
Enoch paused the wand in his hand, and on the ground not far away, yellow soil surged into a cage, trapping the pot-bellied man in it.
"Tell me! What happened in Hongfeng Town?"
Enoch looked at the pot-bellied man with a cold and serious tone. He might have behaved very humblely when facing Enzo, but as a formal wizard, when facing ordinary civilians, he was like a high-ranking emperor.
"Hungry...I'm so hungry!"
The pot-bellied man did not answer Enoch. He still had a painful expression on his face. He chewed his palms hard. It seemed that he still couldn't satisfy his hunger, so he lay down on the cage made of soil and started to eat in big mouths.
Kelly's face turned slightly pale.
After all, he was only a second-level apprentice. He had just embarked on the wizard's journey, and Kelly had never seen such a strange scene. The man's abdomen continued to expand, almost exploding, but he still continued to eat desperately.
【
】
"Are you affected by the power of gluttony?"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face. The state of the pot-bellied man in front of him was obviously influenced by the Demon God of Gluttony. In the history of the wizarding world, there have been many similar cases.
In the Second Age, wizard civilization has not yet risen.
The war between gods and demons continued to spread in this world. At that time, the Demon God of Gluttony was already one of the seven deadly sins of the abyss. Wherever the terrifying power of gluttony touched, all living creatures would be affected.
There was once a tribe that was affected by the Demon of Gluttony. Everyone was devoured by the desire for hunger and became the puppets of the Demon of Gluttony. No matter how much they ate, they would always feel hungry.
"It's hopeless." Enzo shook his head.
Creatures affected by the power of gluttony have almost no possibility of relief. Although Enzo is a fourth-level wizard, it is still very difficult to break the power of this sixth-level demon.
The man in front of him was just a civilian, not worth Enzo's energy.
So Enzo raised his finger.
The dark light penetrated the middle of the big-bellied man's eyebrows, and the painful expression on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a feeling of relief.
Enzo thought.
The soul of the pot-bellied man turned into a point of light and fell into Enzo's palm. He felt the energy of the soul and instantly obtained all the memories of the man's lifetime.
After a moment, Enzo opened his eyes again.
"A sacrifice to a fallen wizard?"
Enzo murmured to himself, but his eyes became more solemn. From the memory of the pot-bellied man, Enzo knew everything that happened in Hongfeng Town. This was a plan carefully planned by the fallen wizard, with the purpose of destroying the ten people in Hongfeng Town. A sacrifice was performed at the cost of thousands of residents.
Just like what happened in Giethoorn.
The fallen wizards who appeared in Hongfeng Town chose to make deals with the Abyss Demon in order to achieve certain goals. Through the power of the altar, the breath of the Gluttony Demon was released into the wizarding world.
"It's simply seeking death!" Enzo's eyes grew cold.
It is a generally accepted iron law in the wizarding world that those who trade with the demons of the abyss will not end well in the end. However, in order to satisfy their inner desires, there are always people who break this iron law like moths flying into a flame.
It has been two epochs since the rise of wizard civilization, and the only one who can truly control the Abyss Demon God is [Fallen Supreme] Bushura, the fallen wizard king who has reached the seventh level of strength. Not only did he betray the wizard world, It also caused great losses to the demon gods in the abyss world.
Today's fallen king Bushura is already the top existence in the multiverse.
Whether it is the demon god in the abyss world or the supreme beings in the wizarding world, they all have murderous intentions towards Bushura, but they are helpless. The existence of a seventh-level life form is already the most powerful life in the multiverse. No one can fall easily.
"Lord Enzo, what should we do?"
Enoch clenched the wand in his hand and couldn't help feeling nervous. It seemed that Enzo had decided to intervene in the affairs of Hongfeng Town, which meant that they might face a battle.
The opponent is naturally the minions of the Gluttony Demon God.
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from the distance.
Under the cover of night, groups of green flames appeared. In Hongfeng Town, more than a dozen monsters lying on the ground crawled out. They were twisted in shape, like wild beasts. Their teeth and claws were very sharp, and their abdomens were astonishingly large. .
"Gluttony?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
After one hundred thousand residents of Hongfeng Town were sacrificed, the aura of the Abyss Gluttonous Demon God has infected this area. The civilians were infected by the abyss' aura and became slaves who were always hungry. They killed and cannibalized each other under the devouring desire.
After experiencing hell-like fighting, Hongfeng Town has become a ghost town.
Nine-tenths of the civilians have died, their souls fell into the abyss and were swallowed by the Gluttony Demon. However, some civilians persisted until the end, but were transformed by the breath of the abyss and became the minions of the Gluttony Demon.
The minions of the Gluttony God are all called Gluttony Demons.
They were originally ordinary humans. They absorbed the power of gluttony but survived, and turned into a ghoul-like form. Their individual combat power exceeded that of the Sky Knights, and they were only a hair away from the level of first-order life forms.
A total of fifteen gluttonous demons appeared.
Among them, there is also a residual food demon, which is an elite among the gluttony demons. Its strength is comparable to a first-order life form. It is not only physically powerful, but also full of aggression.
"Hungry...so hungry!"
"Eat them!"
The gluttonous demons crawled on the ground, their bulging bellies dragging on the ground. They had obviously eaten a lot, but they still felt hungry. This eternal desire was the root cause of them becoming the minions of the demon god.
"Back off, Kelly!"
Enoch waved his wand and summoned several stone monsters to protect Kelly. He himself looked at the gluttons with a serious face.
A dozen gluttonous demons may not pose a threat to Enoch, but the remaining gluttonous demon is a bit tricky. Its powerful body can block the attacks of most magic spells, and its sharp claws may even break through Enoch. defense.
Next to him, Enzo turned his head to look at Enoch and frowned slightly.
"Uh...sir?"
Sensing Enzo's displeased gaze, Enoch was a little at a loss. Then, he saw Enzo shake his head, casually raised his palm, and lightly snapped his fingers. Invisible magic fluctuations suddenly appeared. Spread like a tide.
In an instant, more than a dozen gluttonous demons exploded simultaneously.
The remnant food demon, which had reached the first level of life form, was also pressed to the ground by the invisible magic power, and was crushed into a pulp.
Enoch was stunned.
After a long time, he suddenly woke up. The man next to him was a big shot. Enoch was still doubting whether Enzo's strength reached the level of a third-level wizard, but now he has completely given up this idea.
"Third-level wizard, definitely third-level!"
Enoch swallowed and roared in his heart: "Even the most powerful second-level wizard cannot kill the Cannibal Demon so easily. The use of this kind of energy already involves the rules of the world!"
"Oh my god, who is this guy?"
"Fortunately, we are not enemies, otherwise this lord could easily kill the Food Demon, so if you are willing, it would be absolutely easy to use that terrifying power on me."
Enoch was still frightened. Looking at the blurry flesh and blood on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling. His eyes looking at Enzo became more awe-inspiring, and at the same time, he felt a little ashamed in his heart. With such a strong man beside him, he faced When he was a gluttonous demon, he actually acted like he was facing a powerful enemy, which was really ridiculous.
