Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 125 The Usurper Gargas

go to hell? That really coincides with my destination, but why is this guy so sure that he can break the seal just by going to hell?

According to the description on the panel, it is absolutely impossible for the seal of this shield to be broken from the inside without the influence of external forces. It is the same no matter where he goes. Even if he is a demigod, it will never be possible. After all, the panel does not even connect his demigod's body. Since the identity has been detected, it is impossible not to predict whether the demigod's divine power can break through the shield.

The panel said that the water of the Styx can only be used to break the seal, so the water of the Styx can only be used to break the seal. It is definitely not something that can be easily broken by just changing places.

"...Your situation is very rare, at least I have never heard of it, so I don't know whether what you said is true or false, but according to common sense, this kind of powerful seal that can seal an angel is definitely not just Can it be solved by changing the place?"

Oh, that's because you don't know how powerful I am, stupid mortal. My existence has long surpassed the imagination of ordinary devils. I only need to return to hell to replenish enough strength, and I will be sure to break through this damn side. Shield, and by then, my power will be strong enough to challenge the unknown Zariel and become the new Grand Duke!

Gargoth, who had attained divinity, thought so.

The former Gargas was directly ordered by the Lord of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus. He came to the main material plane with the mission of spreading the name of Asmodeus. The Lord of the Nine Hells asked him to spread Hell among mortals. The gospel, the doctrine of the Fall, used it to develop mortal followers for Asmodeus, and through the faith of these mortals increased his divine power.

However, all devils are cunning and ambitious guys, and Gargaoth is no exception. He saw a huge opportunity to improve his class in this mission, and thus came up with his own ideas.

Although he was restricted by the requirements of the contract to recruit believers and spread teachings for Asmodeus, he took advantage of his own body's advantage in the main material plane to disguise himself as Asmodeus among those mortals. Miracles appeared in front of believers, thereby intercepting the power of faith that should have belonged to the Lord of Nine Hells, and he therefore became a usurper.

However, the Lord of the Nine Hells appreciates this kind of devil with sufficient ambition and action, so although anger is certain, for Asmodeus, only interests are above all else. Since the situation is irreversible, how to use it efficiently? The aftermath of this incident became His first choice.

Therefore, Gargas concluded that after he had done this, as long as he sincerely admitted his mistake and expressed his loyalty through a contract, he would definitely be able to obtain the forgiveness of the Lord of Nine Hells. By then, having gained great power, I am afraid it would not cost him too much. After a while, he could naturally replace the Grand Duke of a certain level of the Nine Hells and become the new Grand Duke.

But now it's impossible.

If you return to hell immediately after gaining this power and kneel down to the Lord of the Nine Hells to accept the punishment, you may still be forgiven. By then, power, strength and status will be at your fingertips, but now it is impossible. Too much time had passed and he had lost the best chance to admit his mistake.

Time may wear away the Lord of Nine Hells' anger over this matter, but it is more likely to intensify. If he cannot make any achievements to impress the Lord of Nine Hells, what awaits him after returning to hell will be unparalleled. cruel punishment.

So for Gargas, there are too many facts that he needs to consider now. The only thing he is thankful for now is that he has indeed gained strength because of his ambition.

As long as this power is still in his body, he is enough to be called a demigod, so Gargas is confident that as long as he returns to hell, he can use this huge power to get rid of the shackles of this shield, but in fact superior……

"In fact, what you said makes sense. Maybe breaking the seal is not as easy as I thought, but going to hell is necessary. Only in hell can I find a way to break the seal. I can assure you of this. .”

Gargas said hypocritically. It was obvious that Nohir's reaction made him think that everything was under his control, but at this moment Nohir suddenly asked.

"You seem so sure we'll accept your offer that you think we'd risk going to hell for a shield we don't even know. Seriously, that's hell. I wonder where you're from. This confidence?"

Nohir suddenly asked back and choked Gargas. It seemed that this idiot still had a little bit of brains to come up with this question. It was strange. This guy should have used Fury when fighting before. Shouldn't he be a barbarian?

But despite his doubts, Gargas reacted quickly and responded immediately.

"Because you need me, and I need you." "I forgive your ignorant question, because you have not experienced my power now, so you say such stupid things,"

"But as long as you experience my power once, you will understand that you can't live without me. The help I can bring to you is definitely beyond your imagination."

Nohir nodded hesitantly after hearing this.

"What you said is so confident, but wait a moment, I want to discuss it with my companions."

After Nohir said this, he immediately pulled Sika out of the room. After coming out of the secret temple, he came to the ceremony room. It was not until here that Nohir opened his mouth to speak to Sika.

"He will never be able to sense us from this distance. What do you think of the current situation?"

"I don't really trust this guy. If I have to say why, I can only say it's because of my intuition."

The distrust is because the divine sense senses that he has evil intentions? No, this alone should not be able to sense the good and evil tendencies of a demigod devil.

"Is it just intuition? Can your divine perception sense whether she is good or evil, and whether what she says is true or false?"

Scar shook her head.

"I can't feel it, I can't feel it at all. Except for the obvious reactions of heaven and lower planes on the shield, I can't judge whether everything this guy says is true or false. I can only judge if it can be done to this extent. Her true form is indeed very powerful.”

"But although I can't tell whether what she said is true or false, one thing is very strange, that is, if it is true that what she said is sealed in this shield is an angel from heaven, then why didn't she choose me? Why does this paladin contact you as a shield bearer as soon as possible? This makes no sense."

Well, this is probably the only flaw exposed by Gargath. I didn't expect you to find this key point right away, but as a paladin, this suspicion is indeed very reasonable.

As a paladin, Ska will naturally attract the help of these orderly and kind-hearted creatures, and Gargoth probably wants to corrupt Nohir, so he has been focusing on Nohir. After all, if he chooses Ska As his holder, it would be almost impossible for him to do any tricks.

Because of the special abilities of paladins and the effect of divine blessing, they are equivalent to constant protection from evil on their bodies. Any influence from evil creatures will be greatly reduced on them. Whether it is disease or curse, it is very difficult to take effect on them unless The effect of the curse was far stronger than the cursed paladin himself.

However, for the current Gargas, he simply cannot release enough evil aura to affect a high-level paladin through the eight-layer heaven seal, even if he releases a huge amount of evil aura at once. After being filtered by the seal, The quality of these evil auras cannot break through Scar's divine blessing ability at all, not to mention that every paladin is a person of strong will.

If Ska held that shield, he would never be able to control him through the influence of evil aura, so he would put his main target on Nohir.

However, Scar does not understand the details of this shield. In the absence of key information, although this seems suspicious, it obviously cannot be used as decisive evidence to prove that this shield really has ulterior motives. Hill's eyes were different.
