Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 78 Some things always need someone to do

A deep murmur sounded suddenly.

Biting cold mist gushed out from above the statue.

In the shadow of creeping horror, it seemed that something was about to emerge.

"You two get out of there!"

Marguerite stood on the altar and cried out.

"Damn it! I can't move my legs!!!" John's face was ugly, and he realized that there was a layer of cold air on his legs, and layers of frost were floating on the leather shoes stained with cow dung.

"Me too!!!" Reiner's pupils kept shrinking, and he tried to beat his legs with his hands, but it didn't work.

The cold breath filled the lungs of the two of them, and their complexions gradually turned pale.

Breathing became a little difficult, and a large amount of cold air gushed out from between the mouth and nose while panting.

The frost fell suddenly, and a layer of frost gradually appeared on the eyebrows and hair of John and Reiner.

Their bodies were trembling, and their hands were hugging their sides, trying to get a little warmth.

"Aesop, get them out of here."

"give it to me!"

In the dark shadows, a deep voice sounded.

A scarlet pupil emerged from the darkness.

Behind the pupils, a huge black octopus demon nearly 5 meters high wriggled its huge body and crawled from the rock barrier.

Rhodes stood on Aesop's head.

Looking solemnly at the blurred shadow above the statue, it seems that in the shadow of the barrier, a group of twisted and weird phantoms are squirming, and a large number of huge black scales cover the terrifying creature.

The violent black tentacles rolled up the bodies of John and Reiner who had already fallen into a frozen state and came to Rhodes.

Rhodes pressed the necks of the two for a moment, confirming that the two were still alive.

"Xiuji, take them out of here."

"As ordered!"

Xiuji fell from Rhode's waist, turned into two thick arms, carried John and Reiner, and was escorted down to the tentacle ladder by one of Aesop's tentacles.

At this time, Margaret was picked up by Aesop's tentacles and came to its head.

She looked solemnly at John and Reiner who were being escorted out of the underground cave.

"Rhode, the current situation is a bit bad. There was an accident in the summoning ceremony. Although his main body has not been summoned, part of his body has passed through the subspace and is about to come!"

"Ah."

"You get out of here first."

Rhodes whispered.

"This time, I'm dragging you down again."

Margaret's tone was low, and she felt like a waste at the moment.

"No, your performance is good enough. It was purely because this idiot caused this accident for his own selfish desires, which made things out of control."

Rhodes pointed to the head of Herbert whose mouth was locked by Aesop's tentacles.

"What are you going to do with him?"

Margaret glanced at Herbert, the other's appearance was really hard for her to accept.

"You confirm the authenticity of this manuscript."

Rhodes did not answer Margaret's question, but handed his notebook to Margaret.

Margaret skimmed through it at breakneck speed.

"Matches with West's share, true."

"Well, take it away, you leave here first."

"it is good"

Margaret hesitated for a while, and finally did not choose to be brave, but she still wanted to try to persuade Rhodes to let him leave with her and let him stay here alone, she was worried.

"Come out of here with me, I can let the people from the authority come over to deal with the follow-up matters."

"No, when they rush over, time will be too late. The town of Harlow will disappear completely, and even this place will become a place of eternal winter, a taboo area that humans cannot set foot in."

"But you are alone, I don't worry." After getting along for a long time, Margaret had complicated feelings for Rhodes. Such complicated emotions made Margaret say these words subconsciously.

"Some things always need someone to do."

Rhodes shook his head, and turned to face the blurry phantom floating above the statue.

Rhodes, who has long regarded himself as a member of the remnants of the old era, will not allow the demons to descend and occupy the human living area.

Besides, he is not stupid, he has a certain degree of certainty in choosing to stay here, and even if he is unable to cope, he can easily evacuate by relying on Aesop.

Moreover, Robert's notes recorded how to deal with this kind of situation. He only needed to seal part of his descending body. The mezzanine of the medicine box had always stored the tools needed for the seal.

"Rod."

Margaret looked at Rhode's back, and the scene in front of her was like what she experienced in a dream, although the location and time were changed.

She didn't even remember what Rhodes, her husband, had said to herself in the dream, but Margaret remembered Rhodes in the dream, and she resolutely turned and left, facing the demon hidden in the deep sea above the sky.

"Aesop, send her away."

"As ordered."

"His Royal Highness Princess of the Golden Lion family, the master asked me to see you off."

Aesop's words seemed quite respectful.

Although it is usually a bit confusing, there are still some things that can be clearly distinguished.

"Okay. You. You stay safe."

Although Margaret wanted to stay, she knew that staying here with her own strength would only get in the way and even become a burden for Rhodes.

"Ah."

Rhodes watched as Aesop's tentacles sent Margaret to the cave, and at the same time brought Xiuji back.

Only then did he squint and look at Herbert beside him.

"Mordiggian, god of ghastly bones, king of ghouls.

Legend has it that it lives in the underground temple of Zuerbaha in the continental city of Zuoshik and feeds on corpses.

His appearance will bring eternal winter and freezing cold, which is recorded in the tomes of the ghoul sect.

Herbert, what you summoned is Him, right? "

Rhodes questioned in a low voice to Herbert, who was rolled up by a black tentacle beside him.

"The summoning ceremony was interrupted, and He was very angry. This is the anger of the ghoul king passing through the cracks in the subspace! Hahahaha! You will all go to hell!!!" Herbert's eyes were red , to vent their emotions.

He looked at the fuzzy phantom above the statue, and his whole head fell into a trembling state.

He looked quite crazy, as if he had entered a special state.

"Aesop, tell him to shut up and give him to Margaret, she knows what to do."

"As ordered!"

Aesop's tentacles pierced Herbert's mouth and directly pulled off half of the other's tongue, making him unable to speak anymore.

At the same time, a black tentacle led Herbert out of the hole and handed Herbert into Margaret's hands.

At this time, Aesop suddenly felt a wave from the subspace, and it whispered what he felt at the moment.

"Great master, I can feel that part of the opponent's body is passing through the subspace."

Its scarlet pupils looked at the wriggling phantom on the statue that was gradually becoming real, feeling a little worried.

As the avatar of Abyss Lord Isogda, Aesop naturally knows Mordiggian, the king of ghouls.

Like his main body, Isogda, he belongs to the level of a great demon.

It is precisely because I know the strength of the other party that I feel a little worried. Although this time it is only a part of his body, and the level should only be the strength of a second-level demon, but after all, it is different from the general class like myself. The other party belongs to the special class. Wait for the devil.

The intensity should be one level higher than your own.

Rhodes didn't think too much at the moment.

He looked at the property panel in sight.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 10】

【Spirit: 5】

[The Power of Sin: Unlocked (unlocked after the total attribute reaches 50)]

After dealing with the unnamed village incident last time, until now, because of Aesop's power of sin generator, the attribute points have already accumulated 10 points.

To seal part of Mordiggian's descending body, the opponent's state must be weakened first.

As for how to weaken it.

Rhodes added 10 attribute points to his physique.
