Don't call me evil god

Chapter 372 Twin Nicole
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes.

Even if he were beaten to death, Pete couldn't believe that Winnekes, the old butler in the castle who had served the Countess loyally for many years, was actually an "illusion".

"Isn't this right?"

The battle was over, and Gale, who was standing beside them gasping for breath with his hands on his hips, was also confused.

"Don't they say that illusion magic can only "tamper with cognition" and that everything is fake and will not actually appear in reality?"

"What's the matter with Winnekes?"

The doubts of the two also represent the reactions of most believers present.

Don't mention anything else.

The believers who died and returned to the altar of creation and were lying on the ground expressed their dissatisfaction.

Can your illusion kill people?

The most that can be done by tampering with cognition is to create the illusion that a person has been killed, but the real person in reality will still be alive and well.

But this is obviously not the case now.

Those who died in the battle were truly dead, and their destiny points for resurrection were deducted. They were all getting dressed at the Altar of Creation.

The illusion has real lethality, even an illusion with the strength of a 4th-level stealth fighter!

If the so-called illusion magic is so powerful, then there is no need for us to believe in any other gods. We might as well just believe in the illusion goddess instead.

……

When Winnekes' fallen "body" disappeared, one thing was left behind.

A brass key with an antique shape and a strange feel.

Brandon walked forward, bent down and picked up the keys.

"Is this the key to the dungeon that the young master named Petunia mentioned?"

"You'll know after you try it."

The entrance to the dungeon had already been discovered by the stalkers who had sneaked into the castle to explore.

It was also there that they encountered their first attack by Winnekes.

This time I went to the room on the west side of the castle again. When I reached the partition door, there was no new attack, nor did a new old butler appear.

This made Pete feel greatly relieved.

One dangerous opponent like Winnekes is enough.

There were more than 100 knowledge-seeking believers who believed they were quite capable and participated in the attack on the Countess's Castle.

This group of people are undoubtedly the best among the current believers, at least in terms of rich combat experience.

Those who were not very good at fighting, felt that they were not strong enough and would not be of any use if they went, basically stayed in Chim Town, helping ordinary people in Ceylon or clearing out lone monsters wandering in the wilderness in the surrounding areas.

result.

Of the more than 100 believers, only 22 survived the Battle of Winnekes.

This is the data that Pete has specifically counted.

The old butler Winnekes is like a ruthless screening mechanism.

Those who are not strong enough and lack self-protection, even if they can escape the test of a group [Sleeve Arrow Storm] by chance, will not be able to cope with the second or third rounds that will follow.

Those who can stay here at this moment are undoubtedly the elite among the elites in the Church of Knowledge.

The most outstanding group of people in the pioneering strategy team.

Only they can defeat a dangerous opponent like Winnekes.

Of course, it is still extremely difficult to fight against.

If they were asked to fight again right away, even if they could win, Pete estimated that they would probably have to lose another 5 or 6 people before they could win.

It is impossible to solve it perfectly without any damage.

Fortunately, according to the information provided by Petunia, they should be not far from completing the goal of this operation!

The next thing to do is to use the key to open the dungeon, rescue Nicole Ceylan who is imprisoned inside, and then stop the Countess with her help!

Pete held the simple brass key and approached the partition door reinforced with the rune secret lock. As expected, the strange aura on the key began to resonate wonderfully with the magic lock on the door.

"Click" sound.

The several rune patterns that were wrapped around the partition door like chains slowly disappeared.

The blockade was lifted.

The partition door creaked open in front of everyone, as if being pulled by something. Behind the door appeared a dark stone staircase leading underground.

"Lumos!"

Pete raised his hand and chanted a ball of light called [Illumination], then gently cast it downwards.

The bright light emitted by the light ball seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness. Although it could illuminate the environment, it could only light up a small part of the area around it.

There was still darkness beyond.

"Let's go! Go down and rescue Miss Nicole."

The decree from the God of Knowledge was for them to stop Countess Ceylon in order to save the Goddess of Illusion.

Rescuing Nicole Ceylan is an indispensable step.

The shield warrior took the lead again.

He was followed by Brandon and two other fighters.

Together they form the front line of the team, ready to respond to any danger that may arise in the dark dungeon.

Mages such as Pete and Gale were in the middle of the team to provide support.

The last ones left were the priests led by Miranda, and the rangers who were there to cover their retreat and provide protection.

The stone steps extending downwards were not very wide, only enough for three people to pass side by side.

The mages chanted the [Illumination] spell and cast balls of light to provide illumination for the team.

The steps are not long.

In less than a minute, the situation in front of the leading soldiers suddenly became clear.

They had entered a spacious underground stone chamber.

There are no cell compartments or torture instruments commonly seen in dungeons here, so it looks very empty.

Deep in the stone chamber, one can vaguely see a young girl kneeling on the ground. Her arms are bound and pulled up high by the iron chains hanging on both sides. She lowers her head and the expression on her face cannot be seen clearly.

Brandon was delighted to see this.

Although he had never met Nicole Ceylan.

But it didn't look like there was anyone else in this dungeon.

Isn't this what they are looking for?

"Ms. Nicole, is that you?"

Brandon called out tentatively.

The girl with her head down shook her body slightly, as if responding to the sound.

"Don't worry, we're here to get you out!"

Brandon added, and was about to go forward to see how to untie the chains that bound the girl.

The moment he approached the girl.

The other person's lowered head suddenly raised up.

"Fack! What's going on!"

The expression on the girl's face frightened Brandon so much that he stopped on the spot and cried out in horror.

Nicole Ceylan's face seemed to be split in half at this moment, with completely different expressions on both sides.

There was an evil smile on the left half of his face, while the right half was filled with anxiety.

It's obviously the same person, same face.

However, two completely opposite appearances appeared on it.

It's like there are two different souls existing in the same person's body at the same time.

The girl slightly parted her red lips.

The same voice spoke two sentences with completely opposite meanings at the same time.

"No one can interfere with Mother. Death here will be your inevitable end!"

"Heroes! Please, please help me!"
