The Lord of Ashes

Hercules was a little confused about the demon appearing in his area of ​​​​faith and killing people, but he was not completely confused about it.

In the history of Faerûn, the demons from the three levels of purgatory have broken out of purgatory more than once and brought disaster to the entire main material world.

Why does the word devil have a higher reputation in Faerûn?

Even many gods have suffered from each other, and these extremely destructive creatures have also left relatively serious wounds on the continent of Faerûn.

It is said that the scale of the saint's catastrophe a hundred thousand years ago was greater than before, and the demons were the culprits.

It is not incomprehensible that a level three demon breaks out of purgatory and comes to do evil in the area of ​​his belief.

After all, those demons are famous for their warlike and murderous nature.

If they come out to cause destruction, what reason do they need?

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏The only thing that made Hercules a little strange was that he only saw a third-level demon lord and did not see other demon creatures under his command.

Hercules' doubts went away as quickly as they came.

If this third-level demon really rushed out from the far west, it must be extremely eye-catching as it leads the demon army.

The Faerun Continental Army currently stationed near Purgatory in the Far West all come from the God of Justice of the Justice League and several other high-ranking gods.

In fact, including the Wings of Nature, there are also troops stationed there, but the number is not large.

These legions fight against the demons of hell all year round and are the most elite legions of believers in Faerûn.

With these legions of the main material world stationed on one side, the demons in the depths of purgatory have not broken out for at least 30,000 years.

The caution hidden under the rough appearance of Hercules made it secretly pay attention to Thain who had started the Balrog transformation for a while.

In just a short time, Thane killed another 20,000 of its people.

——The attached killing effect of fire magic is really more suitable for killing low-level creatures than other magics.

From this we can also see that God’s love for the people is still false after all.

At least Hercules loves himself more.

After confirming that Thain had no other helpers and roughly judging the opponent's strength.

Finally unable to restrain his greed, Hercules took action!

The gods of Faerûn rarely come to the main material world, but it does not mean that they cannot appear in the main material world.

During the Saint's Catastrophe, the gods will indeed be greatly restricted, but it's not yet the Saint's Catastrophe.

Like a golden meteor streaking across the sky, Hercules flew straight towards the Fekmos Canyon.

Some people noticed the appearance of Hercules and the golden meteors streaking across the sky, but most people didn't care.

It is not a strange thing for gods to come to the main material world.

Especially as the saint's catastrophe is approaching, it is not unacceptable for Hercules to come to the main material world and make some plans in advance.

In every saint catastrophe, there are almost gods who plan something for themselves.

There are even cases of beings with moderate divine power who quietly descended into the main material world to avoid the catastrophe of the saints.

The only thing that is slightly surprising is that Hercules seems to have moved too early.

On the eve of the Holy Catastrophe, the period when the gods of Faerûn were really active was from 100 to 50 years before the Holy Catastrophe started.

…

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏Fekmos Canyon.

The golden meteor directly penetrated the light red energy shield outside the canyon and descended into the canyon.

After the golden light dissipated, Hercules Knox, holding a giant axe, exposing his upper body and solid muscular chest, and wearing only a pair of animal skin shorts, appeared in front of Thain with his eyelids twitching.

The true appearance of the Hercules Knox is very close to the totem statue in the center of the canyon.

The only difference is that as the original figure, Knox's aura and biological pressure are obviously far greater than that of a totem.

Even though he is a "castrated version of a god", Knox is a powerful creature classified as level four in the astral power level.

Perhaps the gods with weak divine power in this world are probably classified into the early stage of the fourth level, but that is also the fourth level!

After arriving, not only Thain was looking at Knox, but Knox was also looking at the demon.

Somehow, when I looked through the divine light screen from a distance, I didn't find any clues.

But when Knox actually came to this canyon, Thain, who maintained the transformation of the Balrog in front of him, gave Knox a very different feeling from the demons he had seen before.

What exactly is the difference, Knox can't quite explain.

But it's definitely different! This is God’s intuition. Don’t doubt a god’s seventh sense.

However, at this time, Knox only discovered that Thain was different, and did not notice the approaching death crisis.

After staring at Thain twice, the god raised his gaze and looked at the sky.

Unknowingly, the light red energy light curtain above Fekmos Canyon that had just been broken by Knox was repaired again.

This newly repaired energy light curtain gave Knox an uncomfortable feeling.

But compared to these feelings, Knox's mind at this time was more attracted to the artifact funnel and blood essence directly above the canyon.

This is at least a mid-grade artifact, and it is also the most direct reason why Knox came to the main material world this time.

You know, the giant ax in Knox's hand was upgraded into a low-grade artifact because it was integrated with part of the law of power.

"Hey, hey, you demon from purgatory, how dare you attack and massacre the people of Hercules."

"I will use my ax of power to chop you into two pieces to comfort the souls of my believers who died in vain!" Hercules held the ax in one hand, pointed the ax blade straight at Thain, and roared.

The fierce momentum of Hercules made Thain, who was maintaining a flying posture in the sky, unable to help but stagnate.

Thain vaguely felt that the sharp edge of the blade had scratched his cheek.

He touched it with his demonic hand, and a trace of blood with a molten-like burning sensation flowed from the center of his brow.

No wonder fourth-level creatures are called gods. Creatures of this level are really not something ordinary people can mess with.

It was also the appearance of Hercules and the arrival of himself that caused the remaining gray-brained apes in Fekmos Canyon to be in an extremely fanatical and excited state.

Several gray-brained apes had a streak of white light emerging from their bodies.

This is a sign of the power of pure faith, marking that this Hercules has several more fanatical believers.

Including the blood-colored light curtain in the sky, there are also the murmurs and praises of souls at this time.

These souls were all transformed from the gray-brained apes killed by Thain. Since the blood-colored light curtain has never dissipated, they have not yet returned to the kingdom of Hercules.

"Spider Queen, should you take action..." A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Thane's mouth, but before he could finish his words, the bright silver spider ring suddenly erupted with a burst of divine light.

Of course the Spider Queen is ready to take action!

Unlike Thane, who was extremely fearful of Hercules, the Spider Queen was full of confidence and contempt.

"Haha, the gods of this world seem to have developed an extremely advanced mode of using the souls of believers."

"In addition to the value of the Hercules itself, this method of reusing souls also looks pretty good." The beautiful shadow of Spider Queen Rose gradually solidified in the radiance of divine power.
