Don't call me evil god

Chapter 154 It is common sense that there are cultists near the altar

When Pete received the message, he did not delay:

"Brandon succeeded. Trust the Lord's guidance and step into the gray fog!"

"He's in there! And he needs our help!"

After saying that, Pete took the lead and stepped into the gray fog!
Brandon's message couldn't be clearer.

There are enemies in the Misty Valley! We need their help!
……

When Pete stepped into the gray fog, he also felt as if he was being swept by something.

As a tier 3 mage, his perception is more sensitive than Brandon's.

This feeling made him feel inexplicably familiar.

Just recall it for a moment.

"It seems very similar to when we went through [Past Glory]?"

“It seems a little different?”

Pete wasn't so sure.

As he passed through Past Glory, he also had the experience of something sweeping across his body, but it was completely fleeting.

It was almost the same this time, except that the physical sensation was a little more obvious.

Before Pete could continue thinking, he had already walked out of the range of the gray fog unexpectedly.

The scene in the valley suddenly appeared before him.

“…God ​​of knowledge!”

Pete subconsciously made an exclamation that was almost exactly the same as Brandon's.

A strange crystal building several dozen meters high stood in the center of the valley. It was obviously wrapped in thick gray fog, and the sunlight from outside could not shine in. However, the bright and soft light radiated from the building itself became the largest light source in the valley, making the environment even appear somewhat brighter.

The building looks seamless in appearance, as if it was carved from a single piece of naturally occurring crystal.

On the exterior surface of the building, neatly arranged patterns occasionally have circuits of different colors light up and go out, one after another, constantly alternating, adding a unique beauty.

It was different from the eerie and depressing atmosphere of the dark forest outside.

The environment in the valley, apart from this miraculous building;
Other places can only be described as desolate and dilapidated.

The flat land is covered with mottled yellow soil, without even sparse low shrubs or tenacious weeds.

The cracked loess seemed to have not been moistened by rain for a long, long time. The soil was compacted and cracked. The devastated scene formed a very sharp contrast with the magnificent crystal building in the center.

At the bottom of the crystal building there is a tall entrance which is currently closed.

Brandon and a guy in a black robe were fighting not far from the entrance.

To be more precise, it was Brandon who was being beaten unilaterally.

Pete was shocked.

"There are people in the Misty Valley?"

They came here under the guidance of the main quest. Pete believed that the God of Knowledge would not lead them here to die, so they dared to step in.

Why did this guy dare to walk into the gray fog?
Pete was 100 percent sure that the black-robed figure in front of him was an enemy.

Because the information in the opponent's status bar on [The Secret of Everything] directly revealed his true colors:
"Twilight Infusion (Evilization)!"

After the Bloodfang Gang members who were corrupted by the evil god, this was the second evil state that Pete had seen.

No need to think about it.

Even if we don't know his specific identity, at least we can be sure of one thing:
This guy believes in evil gods!

This is enough.

Pete even felt it was a little outrageous:

"As long as there is an altar, will there always be cultists nearby?"

"This can't be a rule!"

When he was tricked by the group of black-robed people in Green Harbor, there was an earthen altar in the secret cave he was taken to. Those people were all cultists who wanted to make a big news;

When Bloody Roulette found the secret room, there was also a horrible altar inside, and two cultists who had committed suicide were also next to the altar; this time in the Misty Valley, they were looking for the altar of creation where the Lord gave guidance, but it turns out there were cultists in the valley as well!
The third time!
Are the cultists who believe in the evil god bound to the altar and refreshed or something? Why are there them next to every altar?

……

Pete observed the battle for a moment.

There was a reason why Brandon was beaten and fled in a panic by this guy who believed in evil gods.

The black-robed figure's attack method was extremely strange.

He is not like those Bloodfang Gang members who were once contaminated by the power of the evil god and mainly rely on brute force and pus corrosion, nor is he like the final mutated Dursley whose limbs turned into tentacles. These are still physical attack modes that can be avoided.

The black-robed figure just stood there motionless, and eight huge bloodshot eyeballs appeared around him out of thin air. Then, as the eyeballs stared, almost invisible black energy would shoot towards Brandon in a strange and curved trajectory.

After hitting the target, a non-physical black chain will be formed between Brandon and the eyeball.

Brandon will also have an additional negative status:
"The pain is increasing!"

When Pete and the others passed through the gray fog, Brandon had already accumulated 8 layers of negative status.

This connection itself does not cause any harm.

But when the black-robed figure used another method of attack - hitting Brandon with an invisible object in the air, Brandon would let out a violent scream if he was unable to dodge.

"Ow!!!"

Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, Brandon's legs went limp in pain and he almost fell down.

Whipping Brandon from a distance, the black-robed figure was still laughing:

"I can't open the door to the holy land. It must be because I failed to satisfy the Lord!"

"Become a sacrifice! Please my Lord with your pain!"

Noticing Pete's arrival, Brandon hurriedly reminded:

"Don't get hit by the eye gaze, this thing... ow!!! It will make you hurt more when you get hit!!!"

The black-robed figure also spotted Pete and burst into laughter in delight:
"Okay! Okay!"

“I didn’t expect that another sacrifice could pass the Lord’s test!”

"If I can offer two sacrifices to the Lord, He will definitely allow me to enter the holy land!"

Four of the eight eyeballs around the black-robed man immediately moved away from Brandon and turned to stare at Pete.

Pete tried to dodge but failed.

These black energies have a locking effect. Even if you dodge, you will be caught up and cursed with "increased pain".

[The pain you feel has been increased by 400%]

Then came the oracle reminder.

The pain is increased fourfold out of thin air, and any attack will definitely cause tremendous pain.

Pete understood instantly.

The opponent is not simply suffering physical damage, but mental torture!

Torture your enemies with ever-increasing pain!

Until the enemy has a mental breakdown or faints from the pain!

"That's it?" Pete raised his eyebrows.

He has found the weakness of this man in black robe!

In a fair 1-on-1 duel, cursing the opponent so that he suffers up to 8 times the pain when attacked is indeed a terrifying move.

But, when have the people from the Seeking Knowledge Sect ever played a one-on-one duel with their opponents?
Accompanied by the continuous surge of gray fog.

One, two, three...

The sect members following Pete all passed through the gray fog and entered the valley!

The man in black robe could no longer laugh.
