Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 114 Nyarlathotep (Two in One)

"Great master, the summoning ceremony has begun."

In the golden coffin, Rhodes received a message from Aesop.

"Ah."

"Xiuji, get ready, the battle has begun!"

"No!"

Rhodes pressed his hand on the coffin board.

The powerful force brought by the 20-point physique suddenly exploded on Rhodes' left arm at this moment. The originally normal muscles swelled instantly at this moment, and the high-density forearm muscles twisted and swelled more than doubled.

Arms pressed against the panels of the golden coffin, forcing it outward.

There was the sound of crunching metal squeezed.

Distorted syllables floated in my ears.

A glimmer of light gradually appeared in the dark space.

In Rhodes' line of sight, a gray-robed figure gradually emerged.

under the hood.

Pale pupils bulge out from the sockets.

His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.

When will the sacrifice used for summoning be able to open the golden coffin by itself?

Of course, the doubts in the other party's heart were not answered.

All he got was a cordial sympathy from old London everyday.

"Hello."

At the same moment, in his sight, the coffin board of the golden coffin was broken, and a black hand ax came oncoming.

puff!

A sharp hand ax was embedded in his head.

Rhode kicked him to the ground.

At the same moment, the other fifteen gray-robed men around, including the newly appointed high priest standing in the center, all looked towards the side where the movement came out.

Their expressions also changed at the same time.

The worst thing happened.

There was an accident in the summoning ceremony.

"Damn it! Hurry up and grab that human!"

The angry High Priest growled.

He didn't want the first summoning ceremony held in his own name to be hindered, and he didn't want to lose face because of it.

The fifteen gray-robed men around got the order and rushed towards Rhodes.

At the same moment, the group of murlocs who were prostrate on the ground were also summoned by the high priest.

They rushed towards the altar in groups.

Old Jack's eyes widened, trying not to blink, he didn't want to miss any moment of the miracle.

Rhodes stood beside the gray-robed man who was killed by him.

With a calm face, he looked at the gray robed man and half murloc rushing towards him like a black tide.

A smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.

His figure gradually disappeared on the spot, and the next second, the heads of the two gray-robed men rushing towards him flew up instantly.

Dark green juice splashed out from the headless neck.

All the people rushing towards him were startled by Rhodes' move.

They were stunned for a moment, as if they were wondering how their companion was killed just now.

Rhode raised his head calmly, and slowly stroked the hair scattered on his forehead to the back of his head with his left hand.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

With his right hand, he threw the hand ax aside and threw the murloc who was about to rush up the altar.

"Xiuji, stop them."

"As ordered!"

At this moment, the black hand ax turned into a huge wriggling amorphous asphalt demon Shoggoth, and rushed towards the group of murlocs.

Rhodes slowly pulled the red tie around his neck with his right hand, loosened the sleeves of the white shirt, and turned them up.

With a vigorous and upright body, he walked slowly towards the high priest standing in the center of the altar.

A gray-robed man came back to his senses and rushed to Rhode's side. Just as he was about to chant in a low voice and tried to use a spell, a thick black tentacle instantly fell from the wall of the underground cave and swept him away.

Amidst the screams, the rest of the gray-robed men fell into a state of shock and panic when they saw this scene.

Even the high priest looked at the scarlet pupil emerging from the shadow behind Rhodes with an expression of unwillingness.

The human in front of him can control two demons.

Enough to show its special features.

"Your Excellency, I have nothing to do with you, why do you want to stop the summoning ceremony of our Dagon Church!"

The high priest tried to stop Rhodes with words.

"You released those parasites in the Thames, right? Why are you trying to use human life to summon demons?"

Rhodes has a calm face, and his tall body can only be looked up by the high priest.

"We don't want to, but this is the tradition of the Dagon Church, and we can only follow the tradition."

"Since this is a tradition, it means that you are outdated. There is no need for an outdated church that is unwilling to change."

Rhodes glanced at the dozens of black tentacles hanging down on the left, and the group of gray-robed men who could use spells had been gathered by Aesop.

On the right side, all the murlocs rushing up to the altar were blocked by Xiuji on the steps of the altar, and they couldn't break through the huge black shield erected by Xiuji at all.

"Your Excellency, the summoning ceremony has already begun. Even if you kill them all, it will not be able to prevent the coming of the Lord."

The high priest looked at the ugly posture of his subordinates with a stern face. At this moment, he knew that the strength of the human being in front of him was beyond his ability to compete. He could only sacrifice their master to try to deter the human beings in front of him.

"Are you talking about Dagon's descended body?"

Rhodes, who had experienced the interruption of Mordiggian's summoning ceremony, naturally knew what the high priest said about the coming of the Lord.

"He is invincible. The great Lord has the ability to control sea water. His power can easily crush you. You shouldn't provoke our Dagon Church."

The high priest looked dignified because of Rhodes' words.

Because the other party obviously knew that after the summoning ceremony was interrupted, the main body of the Lord could not descend, and at most only part of the descended body could come.

Moreover, looking at the other person's expression, there was even a faint expectation.

Did he feel that he could rely on his flesh to contend with the Lord?

The high priest could not imagine how an inferior race like human beings could fight the Lord.

"Humans are actually not weak, perhaps, you can feel it."

The moment Rhodes' words sounded, a strong palm pinched the high priest's face.

His body completely lost its balance at this moment, and as his head was forcibly squeezed into the golden floor tiles below, the body of the high priest also fell heavily at this moment.

Rhodes withdrew his hand and calmly looked at the high priest in front of him.

"Who is that old man who just left?"

According to the information provided by Aesop, just now on this altar, this person and that old man seem to have completed the transfer of identities, and the sign of the transfer is the ring worn by this person on his thumb at this moment.

"I am the High Priest of the Dagon Church, and he handed over this position to me!"

The young high priest seemed to be a little mad emotionally due to physical trauma.

His pupils moved left and right, looking at Rhodes with a strange look.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and a layer of black lines suddenly appeared on the opponent's neck, and he noticed a slight change in the opponent's body.

An aura of madness was rising from the opponent.

"kill you!"

A beast-like roar suddenly sounded from the opponent's mouth.

A thick black tail floated from the hem of the opponent's gray robe and swung towards Rhodes.

Rhodes calmly let go and stepped back.

At the same moment, where he was originally, his tail flicked, and a crack appeared.

"Damn it! Get out of my head!"

"I am the high priest! You can't control me!"

The young high priest in front of him suddenly hugged his head and roared madly.

He got up, fell to his knees, and kept hitting the ground with his head.

"Get out of my body! NO!"

"You can't corrupt me!!"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person's posture. Obviously, some kind of mutation might occur in him.

Rhodes pulled out the M500 from his waist.

The gun was aimed at the opponent.

He was going to get rid of the opponent before the mutation happened.

The black mist demon crawled, ready to move.

Bang bang bang!
The violent bullets rushed towards the young high priest accompanied by the attack of the black mist.

The black mist demon bit the opponent's body.

The pitch-black bullets exploded several wounds on the opponent's body.

"Roar!!"

In a low growl.

A strange scene suddenly appeared.

The opponent's body changed drastically at this moment.

After the black mist demon's bite smashed half of the opponent's body, it seemed to have accelerated the changes in the opponent's body.

A thick dark black arm slowly protruded from the opponent's upturned and opened mouth.

There was a constant creaking sound from twisted joints.

Dark ancient characters are engraved on the arm.

"Cough ho."

The young high priest stretched out his hands, trying to stuff the arm back into his mouth and throat.

But he was stopped by that arm.

Accompanied by the twisting sound of skeletal muscles.

His spine split apart in a weird way as if it had been hit by a 100 mph steam car.

The body is forcibly stretched.

The ever-diverging pupils represent the dissipation of the opponent's consciousness.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes. Obviously, what the old man did just now is changing the young high priest.

He remembered Aesop telling him that the old man tattooed a large number of ancient characters on the young man's heart.

Mutations are still going on.

Rhodes glanced at the Dagon statue in front of the altar.

A wriggling blur looms in front of the statue.

He pouted.

Obviously, the great demon named Dagon will descend on part of his body later like Mordiggian.

These big demons don't know what to do recently.

Like this kind of summoning ceremony, which was blocked at the beginning of the game, there was obviously no need to come, because the sacrifices they obtained were not many, and even the sacrifices passed through the subspace were only a very small number.

Could it be that like Mordiggian, he was beaten up by that old man?
The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched, guessing maliciously.

Harsh chant seems to be able to lead people into the muddy swamp.

The sound of insects biting and chewing rot, which constantly filled the ears, echoed on the altar.

Just a few seconds.

The young high priest, who was still somewhat human, was transformed into a strange and ugly giant with a conical head and a large number of tentacles attached to his body, making a sharp howling sound.

On the black arm in its throat, a large number of dense black pupils stared at Rhodes, and the corpses of the gray-robed people around were rolled up by the tentacles and sucked onto its ugly body.

An unspeakable monster.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

Some similar creatures are recorded in Robert's notebooks.

The cone-shaped head can absorb limbs and corpses, and at the same time, there is that strange sound that seems to be able to disturb people's hearts.

For this kind of demons, Robert called them the residents of darkness.

"Oh, great master, I know who that old man is!"

At this moment, after seeing the demon in front of him, Aesop suddenly realized the identity of the old man.

"That old man is definitely possessed by the great demon. My main body has had contact with it. The other party is a representative of chaos and often haunts disasters."

"Where there is disaster, He will come to that area."

There was a serious emotion in Aesop's words.

Rhodes rarely saw it like this.

"Who is he?"

"Crouching Chaos, Emissary of Demons, Demon with Many Faces—Nyarlathotep."

When Aesop pronounced the name, his body suddenly trembled.

At that moment just now, it seemed to be aware of a trace of will.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

He had seen this term more than once in Robert's notes.

This thing is hailed by Robert, the scumbag old man, as the existence of the devil among the devils.

His existence often foretells destruction and disaster.

Could it be that the disaster is coming from the deep sea that exists above the sky?
Rhodes pressed his temple.

Think so much to do.

Even if the sky falls, there will be tall ones to hold it up.

He is optimistic about his family's one-acre three-point land.

Right now, it is better to get rid of this dark resident first.

"Xiuji, come back."

At the altar, the group of murlocs had been completely eliminated by Xiuji.

Rhodes summoned it.

"No!"

Xiuji squirmed and came to Rhodes' side.

"Turn into a sword."

Xiuji attached to Rhodes' arm and turned into a long black sword.

Rhode's figure flickered and came to the side of the dark resident who had swelled to nearly 4 meters. The other party was still in a happy state of absorbing the corpse, and did not notice Rhode's arrival.

Rhodes pierced the opponent's body with a sword.

"Roar!"

A deep growl sounded.

The waist and abdomen of the resident of darkness were injured. It squirmed its tentacles, and its sticky and twisted body attacked Rhodes.

Rhodes drew his sword, his figure flickered again, and he came behind the residents of darkness in a few blinks of an eye.

Rhodes pulled out the M500 and stuffed the muzzle into the wounded part of the opponent.

The black mist demon crawled beside Rhodes, glaring at Rhodes with disgust.

Bang bang bang!
The violent bullets completely exploded in the body of the resident of darkness.

"Xiuji, Shield!"

In an instant, the long sword in Rhodes' hand turned into a giant black shield to envelop Rhodes.

A large amount of sticky black juice fell to the ground along with pieces of shattered flesh and tentacles.

It's like it's raining.

Rhodes stood under Xiuji's shield, quietly watching the countless pieces of meat wriggling slowly on the ground.

They try to come back together.

A black tentacle stretched out from the side, wrapping around a demon core.

"Great master, this is the demonic core of the inhabitants of darkness."

Aesop flattered.

Rhodes didn't expect to get unexpected gains after killing the residents of darkness.

He ejected the M500 magazine, inserting the core into the mechanical circuit.

The black mist demon roared, and the black mist above his body became thicker again.

It glanced at Aesop, and seemed to show an encouraging look.

Rhodes mouth twitched.

Under the blessing of the demon core, the black mist demon has gradually recovered some strength, and its state is no longer as dull as before.

Rhodes was looking forward to how strong the black mist demon would be after filling the mechanical circuit.

The squirming pieces of flesh also stopped completely as the demon core was confiscated.

On the contrary, the heart, which was probably tampered with by Naia, remained intact.

Rhodes thought for a while and asked Xiuji to put it away.

Although it is not yet clear what this thing does, it does not prevent him from doing some research in the future.

Take care of everything.

Rhodes adjusted his state, preparing to face the coming Dagon coming body.

On the golden stone pillar, Old Jack, who had witnessed everything from beginning to end, never stopped praising the goddess.
