Chapter 187: Herathan

Herathan's current state is actually very strange, although with his rank and lifespan, it is not a problem at all to survive until now.

But when he entered the mysterious sanctuary of his dreams, he was aided by a mysterious "sage".

The Sage gave him the Heradic cube and helped him avoid the guards in the underground dungeon of the palace, which had not yet been sealed.

Of course, all this help did not come without a price, and the Sage's request was for him to retrieve the Talasha's research notes on the gap between fantasy and reality, which were hidden in the main hall of the teleportation point of the mysterious shelter.

However, after entering the mysterious shelter, Heraldson soon realized that the so-called "Sage" himself could not enter the place at all, so he was greedy and conceived of the idea of monopolizing the treasure land.

So, he manipulated the portal of the mysterious shelter to prevent the Sage from looking for other legendary powerhouses to come in and deal with him, and then cut off the connection with the Sage, officially betraying the Sage.

However, what he didn't expect was that the "Sage" had long seen through his greedy, despicable, and capricious character, and it was precisely because of his greed that the "Sage" found him.

Also in order to guard against his greed, the "Sage" unknowingly moved his hands and feet on him when he came into contact with him, and if he dared to betray the "Sage", then this little hand and foot would become his talisman.

Herathan's punishment soon followed, first by the strange way of being retracted by the Sage, and then his human body soon began to mutate, with long, pointed, disgusting appendages growing on his back and nauseous octopus tentacles growing from his waist.

Large scales began to grow on his face, and his tongue forked, becoming more like a snake's letter.

As time passed, more terrible changes occurred to him every day, not only making his body more and more disgusting and ugly, but also completely changing everything about him;

Herathan was desperate to get out of the shelter and ask for help, but the moment he activated the portal from the waypoint and left, the punishment fell directly on him.

Just as the world was resisting him, the world in which he used to live had become an outsider completely.

The will of the world has eliminated him, no longer recognizing his identity as a resident, and only the incomplete rules of the sanctuary can allow him to avoid the punishment of this world.

So, he took refuge in the sanctuary, which had been built to connect the real world to the ancient tomb of Tarasya, under the guise of "sanctuary", had now become his sanctuary.

However, after paying such a big price, Herason is not without gains.

At least he was relieved when he found the Talasya's Void Research Notes in the Vault's teleportation hall.

Despite being unable to open the tomb due to the lack of a key, Herathan found a lot of research in Talasya's notes about the crack in the tomb and scattered clues about the demons.

It was through this research that he found a way to open a portal to hell in the space where the mysterious sanctuary was located, and summon demons for his servitude.

In the days that followed, in order to avoid being disturbed by someone from the outside world who inadvertently broke in, he ventured into the underground prison by dropping several hell portals into the underground prison.

Although it is very likely that the monsters that come out of these portals are of any type, and their strength will be reduced to the projection level by the complete world rules of the outside world, because of the continuous number and the sensitive location of the palace prison, this place was quickly sealed as he wished.

As a result, Herathan was able to begin research on the Sanctuary Waypoint and a replica of the Tomb Key to Tarasya, who is now completely less human, but still hopes that there will be a way to lift this "curse" in the tomb of Tarasia, the greatest legendary mage of mankind.

The mutation in his body has brought him countless pains and made him live in torment all the time, but this mutation has also brought him some benefits.

The main benefit is that his feeding organs are now gone, which means that he can continue to live even without eating.

His skin was also smooth and had the ability to absorb energy from the air, which was all he needed for his daily life.

These mutations changed him, not only physically.

As he began to adjust to his horrific and grotesque body structure, his mind began to move closer to the monster.

Herason now feels that there is nothing wrong with having the same body as he is now, being able to adapt to changes in the environment, and helping him to study without sleep.

On the contrary, he began to think that normal humans in the outside world were aliens, he felt that they were ugly, stupid, and had a complicated physiological structure, which was completely inconvenient for him.

Therefore, when Xue Hua and the mage Ryan first entered the mysterious shelter, Herathan, although surprised, did not pay much attention to it.

Because in his opinion, there was just something wrong in his backyard, and two low-level creatures came in.

He was confident that his minions would soon be able to wipe out the two rat-like creatures, and maybe catch them and give him two more toys?

However, then things turned out completely unexpectedly.

Instead of being wiped out or captured quickly, these two tiresome "low-level animals" are making a big fuss in his back garden.

Forget about the one who jumps all over the ground with the mage's teleportation skills, sooner or later he will run out of ammunition and food.

But the other one, with a strange summon and his own minions, was tough and had the upper hand.

He had long regarded the mysterious shelter as his territory, and Xue Hua was naturally very annoyed by such recklessness on his territory.

Moreover, Herathan was also very interested in the swarm, and the combat power of these hideous and weird-looking creatures was really a bit unexpected for him.

Especially the huge monster that flew in the void and looked like a giant whale in the sea, it was simply a moving firepower platform!

So Herathan decided to take it upon himself to capture Xue Hua and force him to hand over his summon for him to study.

Of course, as a summoner, his personal appearance is not to personally go into battle to fight the bayonet with the swarm, his current physical condition has mutated to the point that it is difficult to even stand up, and it is better to put the bayonet fight for a while.

By his own involvement, he personally controls his minions against the swarm, and if necessary, casts some of his newly researched summoning spells.

Under Herathan's personal control, the number of swarms of insects was significantly larger than the number of tides that were swarming towards Mage Ryan.

However, due to the command of Adjutant Isha and the Worm Mothers, the swarm also easily guarded the platform they were on without any pressure.

Soon, Herathan gathered the ghoul kings on another platform next to the platform where the swarm was located, where he unleashed a spell strike on the swarm's flanks.

However, his move just allowed the worm mothers to seize the opportunity.

The worm mothers quickly ordered the toadstool to cast inhibition spores on the platform, and then asked the Heavy Artillery Governor to activate the main cannon, directly incinerating the hundreds of ghoul kings gathered on the platform.

Realizing his tactical mistake, Herathan did not dare to allow the already small number of ghoul kings to approach the front line, but instead dispersed them, allowing them to stand in the corridors around the platform guarded by the swarm and launch a harassing attack on the swarm.

Sadly, however, this tactic was once again countered by the Worm Mother, who used the saboteurs as a counter-emplacement, and under the guidance of the King Bug, quickly and accurately killed the ghoul kings, and in less than a moment, the saboteurs inflicted no less damage on the horde than the heavy artillery governor had just fired from the main gun.

And most crucially, Herathan's two tactical strikes against the swarm with the King of Ghouls not only caused him heavy losses, but also had no effect.

All of the Ghoul King's fireball skills were blocked by the Nano Locust Shield released by the host of the swarm.

"These damn low-class animals! How dare you?! ”

Herathan howled in exasperation, his vocal organs now flattened, verucous nose as he had no mouth.

"You forced me! Destroy the Mage Guard! Destroy this group of invaders for me!! ”
