Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 364 Half an Hour
Actions speak louder than words. When Nosier split the cage and fell directly from the sky to him, Nasius was already mostly convinced by Nosier's behavior.

"It seems that you believe what I said is true."

Noshir spoke to Narcissus, and the angel smiled.

"Actually, I still feel like I'm dreaming, but since this is a rare beautiful dream, I won't try to confirm the truth of this dream myself."

Noshir smiled.

"Considering a life of being imprisoned and tortured for at least 50 years, you are ridiculously optimistic."

After saying this, Noshir began to observe the surrounding environment. He did not forget that in addition to the angel of salvation, there should also be the firm creed that binds the souls of all Eltoril people.

But when he looked around, apart from the scarred angel in front of him, there was only a bunch of incomprehensible instruments inside the iron ball, and the contract that should have been stored here was completely gone.

"How could it be? This is impossible. That thing must be here. Apart from Zariel, only Haruman and other high-ranking officials knew that the contract was placed here. Haruman saw her put the contract into the Banyang with his own eyes. Zariel had no reason to lie to him. Now that I can't see it at a glance, it can only mean that the thing is hidden in some special dark layer. In this case..."

Nosier frowned slightly, and thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. He had to verify his guess. The method of verification was very simple. The angel in front of him was the best witness. At this time, Nasius also responded to Nosier's teasing.

"Since I fell into the cage, time has no meaning to us, and this kind of pain and torture is not worth mentioning to my God. As a follower of the suffering God, I will not shirk my responsibility."

The high-ranking priests of Ilmet will understand a truth, a god-given creed, that is, the essence of one's own spirituality is more important than the health of the mortal body. The believers who understand this truth will undergo a transformation, allowing them to truly endure great pain like the gods they believe in.

It was because of this that Nasius was able to maintain his spirit even though his body was tortured and riddled with wounds.

"Ah, I have heard of the name of the God of Suffering, one of the three great saints of justice. Although I may not believe in Ilmet, I know that you who walk on this path are indeed worthy of respect. So take this as a manifestation of respect. This long-lasting torture should also end. Today, this beautiful dream will come true."

Noshir took his great axe from behind, then walked slowly to the front of the angel, staring at the instruments that restrained him.

"This dark blue sheen, ah, yes, absolutely yes, these are shackles made of pure fine gold. Tsk, if I hadn't obtained this axe, I really wouldn't be able to do anything about it, but now..."

"I don't have the key to these shackles, so I'm sorry, you'll have to bear with me for now." "This moment of pain is nothing compared to 64 years of torture, so come on."

Noshir nodded, took a deep breath, then hid the power of the bear totem and replaced it with the sharp eyes of the wolf totem.

Under the influence of the totem power, Noshier saw through the relatively weak points of these chains and torture instruments, and then he quickly chopped down, slashed horizontally, and chopped fiercely!

The chains made of refined gold were extremely tough, but under Noshir's invincible blade, only four strikes were enough to completely cut off a chain! Three strikes along the gap were enough to break the torture device on his body! Under his continuous fierce attack, after only two minutes, Noshir cut off the last chain that bound him!
The tall angel fell to the ground in despair, and could only support his body with his hands. The weakness brought by the long-term torture even made him unable to stand up by his own strength.

Noshier wanted to help, but Nasius stopped him. After a few violent gasps, the tall alien god servant in front of him finally recovered a little.

Perhaps it was because of the powerful recovery ability of the celestial creatures, or perhaps it was because of the blessing of the God of Suffering, Nasius showed extraordinary resilience, and he actually stood up by his own strength!
Although the body was shaking all the time, when he silently raised his hands in front of his eyes, observing his hands that were rubbed bloody by the heavy shackles, and then reached behind his back, one by one removing the iron hooks that were digging into his flesh and bones, and finally showing a smile as if he was relieved, Noshir felt a long-lost shock.

And when he finally removed all the shackles that were oppressing his body, Narcissus finally stood up straight. The tall angel cast his eyes towards Noshir, his expression revealing relief, tenderness and gratitude.

"The nightmare of 64 years finally came to an end today. It's all because of you, Noshir. I can't express your kindness to me in words. You saved me, but I still doubted your intentions before. I am very sorry about this."

Noshir came back to his senses and shook his head, wanting to say it was nothing to worry about, but Nasius spoke first.

"Please believe me, Noshir, I really want to express my deepest apologies to you right now, but the moment my chains were freed, Zariel, my fallen colleague, must have known that I was out of trouble. If we don't leave Hell quickly, no matter you or I, or the entire city below, I'm afraid we will suffer unimaginable disasters. We must leave here quickly."

Noshir's expression immediately became serious.

"Zariel will be able to sense what is happening here? Are you sure about this? As far as I know, that thing is probably tens of thousands of kilometers away from us. According to your experience, if she senses what is happening here and rushes here at full speed, how long do you think it will take?"

Narcissus shook his head.

"It won't take long. This is Avernus, the territory that my corrupt colleague has managed for hundreds of years. If she is determined to return here at full speed, I estimate that it will only take her less than half an hour to do it."

Half an hour! Damn it, why did time suddenly become so tight?
