Dark Shadow Shrine

Just like confirming what Orcus said, the system rarely gave a pertinent suggestion.

"According to calculations, your [Soul Conqueror] is not enough to imprison or transform Orcus's soul source. Forcibly imprisoning his soul will randomly break the confinement after 72 hours, liberate the prisoners inside, and erode your soul. "

"It is suggested that the method of destroying Orcus' soul origin is as follows..."

"Option 1: Be devoured by Doomsday Destroyer Beast or Demigod-ranked Mental Terror."

"Option 2: Be teleported to the good Outer Plane and destroyed by the gods there."

"Option 3: It can be destroyed by the high-level elf magic cast by the five sanctuary-level elf mages of Yongju Island."

Seeing the system's suggestion, Lei Wen was dumbfounded. As the enemies he had to deal with now gradually escalated, it turned out that the two semi-artifacts in his hand could no longer keep up with his pace.

It's time to think about upgrading.

It's just that, since artifacts are so easy to handle, they won't be artifacts but weeds on the side of the road.

After passing through the artifact in Raven's hand, including the bow given to Wallis, there are three pieces in total. Without the strong support of the Pale Plane, Lei Wen couldn't handle [Endless Plane Scroll]. This [Battle of Orcas] is even better. It is necessary to kill two top demon lords.

However, since it was done on purpose, Lei Wen naturally has that certainty.

"You don't want to surrender, do you? Then I'll give you a ride." Like the devil king, the abyss demon god and demon lord are all arrogant and unwilling to be subdued.

Unless you kill it directly like you killed Gracia before, you can't control it at all.

Lei Wen's lure to surrender just now was purely talk.

Raising his hand, he pulled the Soul Conqueror in his hand aside, and the terrifying power of the soul-type semi-artifact dealt the final blow to this kingdom of the dead.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

The gloomy kingdom of death faded rapidly, and the surrounding scenery gradually returned to reality. What unfolded around Raven was still the dark inside of the coffin.

The system notification keeps beeping.

The most critical one is: "You have obtained the soul origin (76%) of the abyssal demon god Orcas. For the powerful existences of the bottomless abyss, you are regarded as having captured the entire soul of this demon lord. Because of Orcas Si's soul resisted fiercely. After more than 72 hours, [Soul Conqueror] may collapse. Every hour, the collapse may increase by 3%"

Raven sighed.

Orcus in the previous life would use this +5 artifact staff to lure a human sanctuary mage a year later, in December 1317. He was half intimidating and half seductive. Let the hapless ghost bring his staff back to the main plane of Ultron, and use the power of the staff to activate the resurrection performed by his last loyal servant, the half-ogre Qua Namog surgery.

Although the hero from the main plane seemed to interfere with the ceremony at the eleventh hour, Orcus returned.

In this life, Orcas' plan was completely broken by Raven.

And because Lei Wen was so attractive, Orcas invested more soul origin in order to succeed in one fell swoop. The result was under Raven's plan. I lost my staff and lost my soul.

Of course, this is not the end.

Raven will be in trouble if he can't handle the shipment within 48 hours.

That kind of soul battle, even if you win, your soul will be eroded by the chaotic and evil habits of demons. It's so pitiful that it's hard to describe it with words.

Raven withdrew. He felt that Rose's curse sealed on the shadow guard Gracia would not be able to suppress it in a few hours, and he frequently pointed to Rose where the curse holder was.

It is impossible for Raven to let the shadow guard leave him too far away with the curse. This means that Raven cannot leave the Abyss without getting rid of the curse.

There was a bad smile on the corner of Raven's mouth: "Female spider, don't you like chain traps very much? Then, I hope you will like the gift I gave you."

Raven kicked the coffin boards flying. Blow up all the low-level undead outside.

It's a pity that Raven's death domain is only at the beginning. If it is the highest-level domain that has mastered the origin, no, even as long as it is a middle-level domain, there will be the power to command undead creatures, and even forcibly deprive their masters of control over the undead creatures.

It's a pity that now his death field can only bully creatures, not undead.

Having no time to play with these miscellaneous soldiers, Lei Wen directly turned his figure into a streamer and lightning. Fly away at high speed.

In terms of appearance and soul fluctuation, he is still a vampire nobleman. Unless instructed by the master, low-level undead dare not provoke Lei Wen at all.

In this way, Raven came to a river without any surprise or danger.

Styx!

"Ferrymen! Are all the ferrymen dead?"

Accompanied by Raven's stern drink. A dilapidated boat that seemed about to sink into the water at any time appeared on the foul-smelling and extremely turbid Styx. At the back of the boat, one was extremely skinny. The guy who looks like a mummy and is covered in black air is punting.

"I want to take a boat."

"Hee hee... what did I see? A living half-elf strong man? Not a demon, not a slave, a free half-elf strong man echoing in the bottomless abyss of chaos and brutality. Hehehe, it's so interesting, what is today Days, let me encounter such a good thing."

"Finished? Can you let me board the boat?" Lei Wen said lightly.

"Of course, the Ferrymen of the River Styx are willing to serve any existence, but existence other than demons requires an additional price. You—the living of the sanctuary rank, if you want to take a boat, please pay at least one sanctuary." Let's pay for the soul crystal of the domain powerhouse level."

Lei Wen is too strong, even if he deliberately suppresses his rank, he can't hide the fact that there are too many magical existences like the Ferryman of the River Styx. If Lei Wen showed the aura of being a demigod, then the ferryman would probably ask for a demigod soul for a price.

"Sorry, I won't pay a dime."

"Are you fooling me? Fooling the messenger of the Styx! I—the great ferryman!"

"No, I want to go to the 73rd floor."

The Styx ferryman was suddenly dumbfounded.

The well of darkness on the 73rd floor of the bottomless abyss.

It's a very special place.

There is an unwritten rule in the Abyss, sending any existence to the 73rd floor is free.

The ferryman got angry and stomped on the almost rotten boards of the ferry: "Free! Damn free! Well! You have to remember! If you want to come back from there, you have to pay double the fare! You touch That's the charge for any ferryman on board."

A hint of cunning flashed in Lei Wen's eyes: "If this is not the case, you swear by Styx to keep secrets from any existence, and you must not reveal that I have been to the 73rd floor by myself. If that is the case. If I want to take a ferry from the 73rd floor to any I have to pay three times the boat fare."

"Three times?" The ferryman's eyes lit up. In his opinion, the guys who are willing to go to the 73rd floor are fanatics with sick brains. Although they have no chance to come back, once this mysterious guy wants to come out.

That's triple!

In addition to the necessary fare for paying tribute to the Styx, you can also get an extra share.

No big deal, the Ferryman swore on the spot.

Lei Wen lightly jumped onto the ferry and sat down.

The ferryman propped up the boat slowly and quickly. With just a slight swipe of the oars, the ferry boat shot tens of meters like an arrow.

Styx is a magical existence.

It not only connects Baator Hell and the bottomless abyss, but also connects all levels of the bottomless abyss. Through it, one can go to any level of the bottomless abyss across planes.

However, it is possible to drive on the River Styx. With only this kind of ferry boat driven by a ferryman, any existence that tries to fly over or swim across the Styx will be ruthlessly swallowed, even true gods are no exception.

Slowly driving into the mist in the center of the Styx, without any special feeling, the scene in front of me transitioned naturally.

"It's here! Mysterious strong man, I don't know what you are doing on the 73rd floor, but I will look forward to the moment you come back from the 73rd floor."

Lei Wen smiled mysteriously: "You can look forward to it."

Say it. Raven jumped off the docked ferry boat.

The ferryman stared sullenly at Lei Wen's back before disappearing into the Styx.

In front of him is a plane full of rocks, and the entire plane probably will not exceed 10 square kilometers.

This is for an existence who is used to the super large space on each floor of the bottomless abyss. This floor is really too small.

The steel-like blue sun exuded a dim light, and a relatively vast plain was blocked by jagged rocky mountains all over the place. The curious pools near them were roughly obscured by it.

A path made of marble more than 3 meters wide connects all the pools one after another,

From a distance, those nearly 5-meter-high, evolved large bodaks silently and ruthlessly patrolled the entire level.

Bodaks are cold and vicious creatures. Bodak looks like a twisted, hunched human with a skull-like face and very long, thin fingers. Their skin is rough and gray without a hair growing on it. Their large eyes are pale and cold, and have no pupils.

They never stop to negotiate. Instead, they pounce directly on their enemies. They attack everyone they see, and though they are never in a hurry, their unwavering stride can capture the strongest heart. Whenever there is a chance. They will use their death gaze to bring down every unlucky ghost who dares to look at them.

By the way, there is a special super-elite version of Bodaz on the 73rd floor. Its death gaze is upon any living being. The immediate death rate is as high as 40%, very cheating, right?

It ignores grades.

Anyway, wandering aimlessly on the Marble Path is basically killing you.

In fact, the 73rd floor, named the Well of Darkness, is really used as a cage.

It houses the most detestable and despicable prisoners not just in the Abyss, but in the entire multiverse.

The ink-black liquid in the pool somehow binds the being immersed in it, preventing its escape and allowing only a simple telepathic connection, but this only serves to prove that the captive has not yet been released. erase its existence.

And Raven came here, of course, for one of the prisoners. (to be continued ~^~)

PS:  There are three updates today, and there will be another update in the evening. It is estimated that there will be 2 to 3 more updates before 1:00. This is a make-up after I had a cold a few days ago.
