Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 474 The End
Standing on the ground with scratches left by the sudden stop, Noshir looked back at Shaflock who died with his eyes open.

Noshier knew that this guy must have been full of doubts before he died, wondering why he could see through his true nature at once, but the answer to this question was actually very, very simple.

The power of the wolf totem, the most fundamental source of power in this wild heart, gives Noshir this ability.

Because the Wolf Totem allows Noshil to see through weaknesses, and the specific manifestation of this ability is that it gives him an alternative energy vision. Under this vision, the phantom created by Shaflock is completely an energy entity in Noshil's eyes, and there is a world of difference between him and his original body.

So when Shaflock tried to trick him with illusions and underestimated him, to the point where he dared to fight him head-on, his defeat was already inevitable.

"Uu——"

Taking a deep breath of pent-up blood, Nosher shook off the blood on the giant axe, splashing a tragic bloodstain on the ground, and then slowly walked towards Shavlock's body.

And when he finally approached Shaflock's body, Noshier didn't hesitate at all. He raised his hand and swung the axe, instantly chopping off Shaflock's head, making this veteran strongman from a hundred years ago completely offline!
"Hmm? There's no reaction at all. It seems like he must have really died before. It's really strange. Logically speaking, the vitality of such a strong man shouldn't be so fragile."

Noshir scratched his head, puzzled, but this was indeed what happened. There was no fake death, no sneak attack, and no second resurrection. This antique from more than 2 years ago once again welcomed the long sleep called death. But of course, as Shaflock had said before, even if his body was dead, his soul would always remain in the kingdom of Baal and continue to participate in the endless and far from peaceful murder feast.

"Shaflock Ankif, a respectable opponent, I sincerely hope that you can live happily in your own god's kingdom, but since you have disappointed the God of Murder, I think I must put a big question mark on this possibility."

Thinking of this, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Noshir's mouth. He seemed to realize why Shaflock died so quickly. If he guessed correctly, at the moment when Shaflock's defeat was already decided, the King of Murder had secretly made a move and completely took away Shaflock's life and soul.

As for why this happened, Noshier had witnessed the ritual performed by Shaflock before, but the ritual was completed too quickly and did not conform to the usual ritual process, so he boldly speculated that this might be because Baal provided help in secret.

But even though the gods had personally stepped forward to offer a helping hand, Shavlock was defeated almost instantly. Such a poor performance must have angered the King of Murder, and Shavlock's days would definitely not be easy in the future.

'Rest in peace.'

An insincere blessing flashed through Noshir's mind, and then he immediately looked around.

At this time, everyone had dealt with their opponents. The only remaining Death Knight was quickly reduced to ashes by Scar's Holy Slash and Mizora's Arcane Missile Storm, and Karak also smashed the heads of those blasphemous assassins one by one.

Seeing that the battle was completely over, Noshier finally lifted the transformation form that was a great burden on him. Although this state was powerful, it was not perfect. He needed to spend some time to completely perfect it. Fortunately, in the future, he should have a long period of free time to slowly improve his power system.

Now that the main brain has been completely destroyed, Catheric Som is no longer a threat, and Shaflock has died completely in front of him. Noshir has already eliminated most of the dangers in advance.

Gotash and the evil thoughts that had luckily survived were not worth mentioning at all in the short term, and during this time, he could finally give himself a long vacation. There was no imminent crisis, no secret conspiracy, nothing for him to worry about, only peace and tranquility.

He will have plenty of time to improve his strength, count his wealth, welcome endless honors, and fully enjoy the magnificent scenery of the coastal city of Baldur's Gate. Such a future is really something to look forward to at the mere thought of it.

Karak came to Noshir's side at this time, and then glanced back and forth between Noshir and Shavlock.

"It's unimaginable... Soldier, this is Shaflock! Since I just learned to walk, this guy's name has always been my shadow and nightmare. Before I met you, I never imagined that one day I would face this legendary figure! I never thought that anyone could defeat him again! But now... Oh! We are going to become new legends!!!"

Noshir smiled when he heard this, and this time his smile was genuine.

"We have always been legends, Karak. We have been known as legends since the moment El Toril returned."

"Ha, don't flatter me. That thing was all your credit from beginning to end. At most, I participated in the last scene of your great adventure and played a supporting role without even a name. But this time is different! Karak Yamen's name will also appear in the poems of the bards. If I have descendants in the future, those children will know that their great-great-great-grandmother was once a great hero!"

Great-great-great-grandmother and the like, this is a bit too far into the future, Nosher thought so, but looking at Karak who was grinning foolishly, he did not interrupt her fantasy at this time because it was out of place. After all, Karak's dream was still possible to come true.

"So, is everything over?"

Scar also picked up the Shield of Gargauth that had fallen to the side, put it on his back, then walked silently to Noshir's side, used holy healing to heal the wound on his right arm, and asked this question while looking at the body of Shavlock.

"Yes, it's over, probably. But there's an old saying that goes, the end of one journey often means the beginning of another. Maybe we have completed most of the mission, but there are still some details waiting for us to modify and participate in."

"Haha! You're right! We still have a lot of work to do!"
