Chapter 440: The Spread of Cults
The Eye Demon, the nightmare of all adventurers on the continent of Faeron, is not much worse than the dragon in terms of lethality and destruction. Almost everyone knows that this is an extremely dangerous monster, capable of killing with their eyes, and their personalities are completely distorted, so ferocious and cunning that even the mad mage Effig, who wrote the Eternal Sacred Codex, does not dare to peek into all the secrets hidden behind these creatures.
You must know that this book is called a horror masterpiece, and it is all about the Effig Guรฒ artifact "Ebony Magic Mirror" to see the real world in real life. Among them is the Age of the Flood ruled by the benthic devilfish (an ancient evil creature that existed at the dawn of the universe, a species born from the blood of the "Scarlet Queen" Paises, Paises), a world completely different from the conventional cosmic system, where even the gods were in danger of going mad after traveling to that world. The chaos is filled with countless strange and powerful creatures, far from being comparable to ordinary creatures in the main material plane or even the outer plane.
He travels into the depths on his own, conversing with dangerous psychic sages and evil bodysnatchers, observing and studying creatures such as the Beholder, the Armor, and the Ability Worm, which occupy a large part of the tome. The forbidden text recorded on it makes even the gods tremble involuntarily when they see it.
Even such a crazy person would not dare to reveal the true secret of the birth of the Eye Demon, which shows how twisted and terrifying this creature really is. They were first born in the outer planes, and their ancestors were a primordial species with abilities comparable to those of the gods, and "Great Master Mother" was the only name given to her by the outside world.
There is no doubt that all the Eye Demons are the offspring of the "Great Mastermother". Occasionally, a particularly long-lived individual will appear among the hundreds of Eye Demons, known as the Eye of the Elder. Where does its amazing longevity come from? It is still hotly debated. The Eye of the Elders themselves believes. This shows that they have inherited the purest bloodline of the Great Mistress.
This particular individual not only possesses all the abilities of a common Eye Fiend. And also awakened the warlock talent. Every Elder's Eye has a Warlock level of no less than Level 6, and the longer you live, the higher the level will become, and even one or two Legendary Warlocks will pop up. When performing magic, they temporarily close their main eyes to concentrate, but the small eyes around them can emit deadly rays as usual, and they are arguably one of the most dangerous monsters in the entire main material plane.
At least one Elder's Eye, and perhaps the Nest Mother's, plus an entire group of Eye Demons, are the real enemies that Henry will face on his mission. Even as a legendary mage and druid. He didn't dare to let up any of them. After all, there are not many legendary professionals who have died under the eye demon rays, especially if they are hit by a large number of magic rays, even the protective magic may not be able to hold on.

After making all the preparations, the group of three walked along the bustling streets towards the headquarters of the Knights of the Most Ardent Heart in the eastern part of the temple area. Along the way, they saw many blind people standing on the side of the road and loudly announcing to passers-by:
"The blind eye shows us the right way! Destroying those eyes allows you to see things you've never seen before......"
"Curl up before the terrible gaze of the Blind Eye arrives! Bow and dig out those two horrible things in your eye sockets, or you'll be thrown into the pit of the unbelievers! โ
โโฆโฆ The great god is spreading the truth, and he will make those false gods shout wildly under the blind gaze! โ
"Blind eyes are the saviors you fear! It is the fire that illuminates the way to salvation for all! Listen to me, you who are unbelievers, and you should tremble at the knowledge that you have the privilege of worshipping the Blind Eye! โ
"I used to be a believer in the false god Heim, but now I've found the truth. Gouge out your own eyes. That's the only way to go. โ
These guys are like crazy, and every time they see a passerby, they will gather around and preach feverishly. It's like the priest of Shirek, the prince of lies. Covering his mouth, Aemon asked, "Oh my God! It's just terrifying, they actually ...... He actually gouged out his own eyes. โ
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a cult. I've never seen a god force his followers to gouge out their eyes, not even an evil god. As she spoke, a look of disgust appeared on her face. She hated this deception the most, and she longed to pull out her two-handed greatsword and slay all these damn blind people.
Henry probably glanced at it, and found that the entire temple area was full of such blind people, and there were no less than two hundred of them. No wonder the major temples and knights can't sit still, if they continue to develop in this shape, I'm afraid that the whole city will fall in another two months, and it will be too late to clean up when the time comes.
He frowned and said to the two girls, "Don't look at it, hurry up and go to the headquarters of the Knights." Our time is running out, and this cult must be eradicated immediately. โ
"That's right, you see, there's another guy over there who gouged out his eyes." As she spoke, Sheena gestured to a young girl not far away. Under the bewitchment of the blind people, she forcibly gouged out the eyeballs with her fingers, and the two black hole sockets looked eerie and terrifying.
When Ammon saw it, he couldn't help but shudder and muttered, "It's terrible...... It's horrible......"
The bloody scene made the hearts of the three people heavy. They didn't say a word along the way, and it didn't take long for them to reach the door of the Knights. I saw two huge sword-wielding statues standing in the river on either side of the main entrance, and in the middle was a bridge made of stone slabs. It is a huge three-story building, one of which is submerged in the river, and only the upper two floors are really usable space.
Just as everyone was about to push the door in, a black-haired girl suddenly rushed out from the side of the road, blocking everyone's way. She bowed deeply to Henry, and said in an unskilled lingua franca, "Hats off, son of God." โ
"Son of God?!" Henry suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" I'm not a son of God. โ
The girl looked left and right, and asked in shock, "How come?" Aren't you called Aberdell? โ
Henry shook his head slightly and explained, "Of course not. Aberdale has been imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison, and we're trying to find a way to get him out. But if you're looking for only the Son of God, there's still one here, like this pink-haired girl next to me. She is also the heir of Baal, the god of killing. โ
He had already discovered that the black-haired girl in front of him was not an ordinary human. It can be distinguished by the color of the pupils and the slightly pointed ears. It should be the Asmo Protoss, a humanoid intelligent life in the upper plane. They are usually in the good camp and rarely appear on the main material plane unless they have some mission.
Hearing that there was another son of Baal present, the girl hurriedly patted her chest and regained her composure. She wiped the beads of sweat from nervousness on her forehead and bowed again. "I'm very sorry, but my name is Selilev, an attendant of the god of justice, Tyre. I am seeking your help. โ
Ammon's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Help?" Me? Oh my God, this is incredible. Is there anything I can do to help? โ
Selly Love nodded solemnly. "Of course, I'm hunting down a fallen priest named Koseva and need your help."
Speaking of this, the girl paused slightly, as if to recall something, and after more than ten seconds, she came back to her senses and continued: "Before I came out on my mission, a priest of the temple told me to go and find an heir of Baal. It is with him or her that you will be brought to Cosseba. The Son of God is an instrument of fate. Whether or not his or her time ruins miรจ will depend entirely on his or her final choice. โ
"Wow! Is this some kind of prophecy? Am I or Aberdale going to be the Demon Lord of Evil? Ammon asked, his eyes lit up. It was clear that her outrageous curiosity had been mobilized again.
Seileph's face turned a little red as she was stared at, and she stammered, "No...... I don't know, I just paraphrased the pastor's exact words. Dear Son of God, can you keep me around? โ
"Of course I'm fine, but unfortunately I'm not the leader of this team. So if you want to stay, it's best to ask him. As he spoke, Ammon gestured to Henry, who was standing in the group.
"May I stay?" Selly Leph asked quietly. She looked so nervous that her breathing became rapid.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was less than one and a half meters tall, Henry couldn't help but sigh. He patted himself on the forehead and said, "Yes, but I have to ask two questions first." First, where are you from? Second, what will you do? You know, we're an adventurous team, and we're ready to fight monsters and bandits at any time. โ
"I come from the realm of Tyre, the god of justice, a heavenly mountain full of light and warmth. As for the battle, don't worry, I'm a level 10 knight, and I can chant his holy name at any time during the battle, and there will definitely be no retreat. With that, Selly Leph stood nervously in place, looking like an elementary school student waiting to hear the test results.
"Okay, I agree with you to stay, but you have to obey the command. Especially when dealing with evil creatures, you can't do it without my orders, don't you know? Henry stern warned. He didn't want someone to sabotage his assigned tactics and rush up like a rogue villain.
Seilelev patted her chest and promised, "Please rest assured, as long as it does not violate the essence of goodness, I will obey every order." โ
Henry smiled and nodded. "Then I welcome you as the team leader. By the way, Seileph, how old are you this year? โ
"It's an honor to have your approval. I've just had my birthday and I'm fifteen years old. As she spoke, a smile appeared on the girl's face.
"Fifteen? The gods are above, and you're still a kid at all. Sheena cried out in surprise. She couldn't believe that the priest of the God of Justice would let such a young girl come out alone on a mission. You must know that there are many evil people in this world waiting for the opportunity to lure those young and undetermined holy warriors to fall.
