Scales of Eternal Order

Through this tour, Ques has mastered some basic information about the camp.

Currently, there are only a few alien mercenaries in the camp. They gather together like a group, looking like thugs who have been coaxed to Baator Hell from unknown planes to find “opportunities” Gang. In addition to the barb demon guards who patrolled the camp, there was also a hellhound raised by the chain demon. In addition, thousands of bloated demon cannon fodder were kept in captivity in the corner of the camp-a change that was punished and tortured for negligence. The devil in the form of blindness, deafness, and stupidity is habitually scorned by other Batzu as “devil”.

All of the above are all forces that can be put into combat in this camp at this stage except for the chain demon commander and the Ques entire group.

Although Chain Demon has repeatedly promised that before the start of the blood station, this camp will be filled with mercenaries from other planes, and the overall strength of the camp will be greatly improved. But how can you believe the words of the devil?

Walking to the well-prepared resting area, Ques immediately withdrew from the chain demon and arranged to act as the guard of the barb demon of his servant “Monarch Army”, and called the ogre brother into his tent. Although the tent is not high enough, the ogre will not deform the spell, so they can only sit cross-legged on the ground, but fortunately the area of ​​the tent is large enough that the three-headed ogre sitting together does not appear crowded. Seeing them sat down, Ques released an anti-detection magic to ensure that they were sitting cross-legged on the ground even when no one was listening.

“Although I have not known each other for a long time, I believe you are trustworthy enough,” Ques paused and organized his own words: “Actually, you may have more or less heard of the upcoming outbreak. The cruelty of the war. To be honest, if the dragon’s nest is bound by the contract, I don’t want to get involved in this war at all. I want to conceal this point, although it may be a little cowardly and not honorable.”

Looking around the Ogre three brothers who were quietly listening to their own words, Ques continued: “I hope I can hold on for two years until I can freely exit the war and live back to the original world. Of course, it takes some luck. But I I believe that the better way to achieve this goal is to work hard to obtain more intelligence information, learn faster to improve my own strength, and find some trustworthy partners.”

Talking Ques stretches out This is the blessing gesture of the Ashes World gladiators before the life and death struggle: “I hope I can get this honor.”

“Watch and help!”

“If the enemy is dead, I will live!”

“Fight to the end!”

……

Bottomless Abyss 470th and 19th layers, this plane It is called “Sour Mist Canyon” by the Tanari demons.

The atmosphere here is a mist of acid vapor, continuously supplemented by underground volcanic eruptions, and the volcanic eruption left a scene of complete destruction. A huge winding canyon splits the vastness of this plane. Earth.

Originally, this layer was ruled by a Ballow Flame Lord named “Talchem”, but later his status as a Demon Lord was overturned by another powerful demon. The reason why he was subverted was an attempt to master power that was far from his qualifications.

As a demon, it is understandable to try to gain stronger power because of nature. However, in order to grab his power, Talchem ​​boldly and recklessly used the remains of the Demon Lord Obiris that he had found that had fallen in an unknown age to fuse wildly with the weak abyss worm with all the genetic information of the Tanari demon. Experiment, the purpose of the experiment is to create a new kind of creature with both demonic characteristics.

If Talchem ​​succeeds, then he will become a powerful demon lord with the strength of the “demon creator”, and even have the opportunity to win the supreme honor of the demons-“Evil Demon King” “Children”.

For this magnificent goal, the Barro Balrog Lord almost exhausted all his wealth. In order to focus on the experiment, he even gave up the evil Demon Sect group that believed in him on the material plane that had been laid out for countless years before.

No matter where you are, even in the abyss, as long as you persevere in it, you will always get something.

This difficult experiment that lasted for hundreds of years finally succeeded, but it was the experiment itself that succeeded. Talchem ​​suffered the biggest failure since its birth.

No one knows the exact information about the reason for the failure, but one of the most widely circulated claims is that Talheim was careless and selected the wrong experimental materials.

An evil spellcaster with memories of previous lives turned into an abyss worm after falling into the abyss. After successfully combining the essence of the remains of Lord Obiris, he became a brand new demon. It is undeniable that the design of this experiment is ingenious and the results are very satisfactory. This experimental creation that Talhem had placed strong hopes on was strong enough and possessed a certain amount of wisdom.

However, it may be a bit too powerful. This brand new demon has a strong power to match its creator as soon as it appears. All the methods that Talchem ​​carefully prepared to enslave the experimental creation have failed.

The huge worm defeated and swallowed his maker, and built its own lair on the castle that originally belonged to the demon lord. This demon creation became the fourth in the abyss with incredible speed The new lord of Baiqi 19 layers.

The title of “Worm Tyrant” was quickly learned by other demons in the abyss.

As the material for synthesizing this giant beast-the predecessor of the abyss worm-that evil spellcaster, perhaps just a crappy mage before his death. But after experiencing Talchem’s experiment, he—if he could still be called himself, at the moment the experiment succeeded, he possessed a powerful force that was far beyond his reach.

The worm tyrant has tenacious muscles similar to Obiris. These muscles form a huge body that stretches like a mountain. This body not only contains powerful physical power that can surprise any demon, but also stores amazing spell power in every link of the body, which can be used for this huge monster to cast spells on its own instinct like a warlock.

The concept of “spell position” [Note 1] that restrains the caster from continuing destructive power has no meaning for such an existence. Without any preparation, as long as the worm tyrant is willing, the frantic torrent of spells can easily shred any creature that dares to face it.

This newborn demon lord quickly adapts to his new career as a demon, and gradually follows the development trajectory of a demon to adapt to the rules of Bottomless Abyss. Perhaps it is the legacy of its birth experiment, this slightly wise ominous beast easily completed the work that his maker took hundreds of years to complete-creating a new demonic race.

Of course, this kind of creation does not want to create a new species out of thin air like the “heart is higher than the sky” Talchem. The creation of the worm tyrant is simple and rude but more efficient. He uses his own flesh and blood. Easily multiplies “acid fog worms” covering the entire layer.

The size of these original worms is far from comparable to that of their creators, generally only a few feet long, but the life force of these small things is amazing. Acid mist worms can survive by covering the entire layer of acid mist. Ingesting sulfur-rich sour gas through breathing, and then expelling the digested gas suitable for other creatures to breathe, an astonishing number of worms even transformed the entire plane’s environment!

Although the underground volcano continuously erupts and emits new acid gas, the acid mist still envelops the entire plane, but the strong acid flowing in the river here has been greatly diluted, and some of the strong adaptability Plants began to cover the originally barren land.

These changes have made this plane “livable”, and many, various Tanaris and other creatures have migrated from other abyss levels to the modified abyss Four hundred and seventy: 19 layers-the original “acid fog canyon”.

Originally, it was impossible for the weak Tanari demons to enjoy the fat abyss worm in unlimited amounts like the high-level demon, but the Tanaris who migrated to this plane were unable to I found an alternative food that was very similar to the Abyss Worm in terms of taste-Acid Mist Worm. This discovery made them ecstatic, so more demons began to try to sneak into this place that was similar to “paradise” for them.

However, the roles of prey and hunter sometimes change. The worm tyrant used his own flesh and blood to create a new demonic race to cover the entire level, and he didn’t want to make a free canteen for other Tanari. As more and more different kinds of Tanari appeared at this level, demons gradually became food for worms, and quickly turned the upper and lower levels of the original food chain. Only then did the “Illegal immigrants” realize that Acid Mist Canyon is not a free canteen, but a huge trap.

As the fresh Tanari demons were preyed and swallowed by acid mist worms, these new Tanari demons with certain characteristics of demon worms began to evolve themselves, and finally two forms of evolution were Stably inherited, they are “Firewalker” and “Scourge Worm Group”

“Firewalker” is a huge acid mist worm, the largest size can grow to be comparable to an adult The giant dragon, within the body, has a structure similar to an airbag, which can inhale air to adjust the density of the body to fly in the air. You can also spray compressed gas to all around through the large and small air holes of the body to change direction and move at high speed. The gas that the “burning airwalker” violently ejects is extremely hot and flammable, forming a flame shield that burns forever around the body. Normally, they appear to be floating in the air, like a boat on fire floating on the sea. Once the prey is found, it will pounce on like a rocket. The target they are staring at will not only face a violent collision comparable to a siege hammer, but also suffer the double torment of acid and flame.

The evolutionary thinking of the “Scourge Worm Group” is exactly the opposite of that of the “Fire Walker”, abandoning the powerful evolutionary route of the individual. The worms formed a kind of weird aggregated creature by abandoning the individual. Its body composed of thousands of worms has no fixed form, and drips with strong acid continuously. The birth of the “disaster worm group” has a certain chance. At first, only a few acid mist worms tenaciously parasitized in the bodies of some Tanaris. They consume the body of the host to survive and reproduce. This behavior that damages the host’s body will As a result, it gradually becomes weak and becomes more easily captured by other acid mist worms. If the will of this host is strong enough, it may only be corrupted by the worms instead of being completely digested. The corrupted will will condense the flesh invaded by the worms and aggregate into a brand-new “disaster group”, each born ” “Scourge bug group” can randomly retain some of the host’s abilities during his lifetime.

Each Burning Skywalker and the Calamity Swarm are the favored heirs of the Worm Tyrant. They are the most trusted family group of the Demon Lord, and the undisputed food chain on the plane of Acid Mist Canyon. The topmost creature. The other Tanari demons can only survive the terrifying level of the “kitchen” that was originally considered to be a “canteen”, trembling with fear, under the rule of two ethnic groups. In fact, unless the Tanaris who came to this plane were parasitized by worms voluntarily or involuntarily, they would only be swallowed up by the swarming worms and demons immediately.

The Will of the Ancient Abyss, which has the most tolerant attitude towards chaos and evil, has accepted these two new high-level demons, and they have indeed strengthened the power of the Abyss in a sense. The worm lord who created two powerful demons naturally received the reward of the abyss. Although the will of the abyss did not give it more powerful power, it gave it another ability that it lacked-the ability to think.

Ordinary demons don’t need to think. How to survive in the abyss is the only thing they need to worry about. But being a demon lord is different. These powerful demons not only have to face the coveting of the lower demons under their rule, but also face various malicious conspiracies from other demon lords of Bottomless Abyss.

Being able to think, be able to find out and fill vacancies, and be able to formulate more evil conspiracies, is a required course for a qualified demon lord. Before possessing the wisdom of thinking, the worm tyrant was like a wild beast who had just turned on spiritual wisdom, fighting with instinct, creating dependents with instinct, and manipulating powerful spell power with instinct. There is no doubt that it is powerful, but it is too single and too narrow to deal with more and more complex challenges.

But after gaining the ability to think, everything is very different. First of all, it is not satisfied that it can only cast spells like a sorcerer. The primordial and crude spell power cannot exert its full strength. After careful thinking, it came up with a solution to this problem.

Through all means of deception, bluffing, lure, etc., the worm tyrant has attracted many creatures with superb spell skills to come to its country, and it humbly asks these “Teachers” in the language of the soul. Improve your knowledge of spellcasting ability. In order to gain valuable knowledge, the worm tyrant became extremely generous, almost responsive to these powerful spellcasters, and regarded it as an investment.

Investment requires a return, and the demon lord’s investment requires an excess return. After the worm tyrant has gained enough knowledge to go further than all its “Teacher” spells, this greedy worm without the slightest hesitation recoups its previous investment-just like the creation of it Like Talhem, it ruthlessly swallowed the spellcasters who were previously regarded as guests.

Among them are the human archmage, the king of fairies, and some other demons… But the one that brings it the most rewards is the various evil dragons that are born with strong demon magic creatures. Due to eating too many giant dragons, its powerful body has even evolved again. Scales grow on the surface of its ring-shaped body, and the originally sticky and fat tongue inside the huge mouth full of barb-shaped teeth is kinked, and a huge dragon head and many appendages have grown. It named it-“Dragon’s Deputy”

Relying on “Dragon’s Deputy”, the worm tyrant has the ability to communicate with words, which facilitates it to convey more and more complex evil plans ; With the “dragon’s vice body”, it can use some spells that originally required language and special gestures to guide without any hindrance… The worm tyrant is very happy to see this change of himself, and it even gives this “dragon’s vice” The unique name of “body”-to commemorate the creator of the worm tyrant, he named it “Hemtal”.

ps [spell position]: This is a characteristic setting of dnd, which is different from the “blue bar casting” mage profession in many other games. The number of spells of dnd mage is strictly limited, everyday All needs to rely on 8 hours of sleep to re-memorize some spells that will be used on the 2nd day, as long as a few are particularly powerful or special exist to exempt this rule. This setting is first to balance the mage and other professions, and secondly, it is convenient for players to calculate damage and so on when running a group (after all, the human brain is not a computer). The specific rules are more complicated, and there are some differences in each version, so I won’t introduce it. Interested friends can search for it by themselves, which is quite interesting.
