Broad World

When the Duke of Silver Shield was immersed in joy, a bard took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into his mansion, and abducted Shi Ji with sweet words. The two took all the gold coins in the house and fled south to Amn. Now the only direct heirs of the Silver Shield family that can be found are Henry's wife and his two children.

The Terminator quickly killed all the doppelgangers in the house. As for those who turned into nobles and wanted to escape, they were all shot to death by the army's crossbow arrows. Commander Corey had already received an order that no one who ran out of this mansion would be left behind. Two hundred barbarian guards quickly took over here, and other soldiers drove to the headquarters of Flame Fist to support the Duke's private soldiers who had not yet captured the castle.

Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Henry handed over the command book to Corey, and brought the Terminator and Sandyr directly to the Thieves Union in the city. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of blood. On closer inspection, it has been slaughtered by Sarevok and his cronies.

According to Robert's information, Henry quickly found the secret door leading to the underground labyrinth. It can be seen from the messy footprints on the ground that Apodell and others have already chased them in. He didn't want to miss the wonderful duel between the two sons of Baal, so he immediately let the Terminator lead the way, and he and the sorceress followed behind.

Walking along the passage in the maze, various forks soon appeared. In order to save time, Henry directly used the "Summoning Monster Staff" to explore the way. The whole labyrinth was much larger than he had imagined, and when they found the exit, the staff that stored a hundred rounds had been exhausted. All kinds of undead creatures and traps along the way were settled by the Terminator, and the two spellcasters kept enough spell slots to prepare for the upcoming final battle.

Through the deep passage. They came to a small island surrounded by a huge underground lake. Most of the houses on the island are dilapidated. Only the temple in the central area still maintains its original appearance. A large amount of negative energy gathers here. All kinds of undead creatures wandered back and forth, looking like they were in the underworld.

Henry unceremoniously ordered the Terminator to clean up all the undead creatures. These guys with strong negative energy are rich in experience points, there is no reason to let them go. Looking at his rapidly increasing experience points, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face. Since the energy of the two elemental pools has been drained in a row, as long as the level of the Sarevok mage is killed, the level can be increased by another level.

The undead creatures were quickly wiped out by the invulnerable Terminator, and even Sarevok who stayed on the road to intercept the mercenary team was killed. Just when Henry was about to push open the gate of the Temple of Baal, Apodel finally led everyone out of the maze and appeared in front of him panting.

"It's really slow. I'm considering whether to leave you guys behind. Go in and get rid of Sarevok." Henry said, looking at these embarrassed teammates with a smile on his face.

Apodel wiped the sweat from his face and cursed: "It's all these damn mazes and traps, which waste too much of our time. Where's Sarevok? He won't run away?"

Henry pointed to the dilapidated Temple of Baal in the distance. "Don't worry, he is in your father's temple. All the undead creatures and mercenaries around were killed by my men."

Apodell glanced at the sign on the temple with a complicated expression, and took a deep breath. "It's time for Sarevok to embrace his destiny, and of course mine. None of you will interfere in the battle between us for a while. This is the destiny between me and him."

"Don't worry, we will only drive away those annoying flies around you. Come on, don't make Salovek wait too long, and Baldur's Gate still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with." Henry walked thousands of times and pushed open the heavy door, and made a gesture of please.

Apodel drew out his two swords and swung them a few times. Then he nodded to his teammates and strode in. The others followed closely behind him. Once inside the Great Hall of the Temple of Baal. Everyone was stunned. The ground, walls, and pillars here are all dark red. This is not an ordinary paint. They are all dyed red by the blood donation of intelligent creatures.

"Sure enough, you all came after me. Especially you, Apodel. Now let's understand, as long as you kill you, you can gain more divinity. At that time, all the people here will not be my opponent." Salovek's cold voice echoed in the hall, pulling everyone back from the shock.

Apodel looked at his brother silently. After entering this temple, he found that all the anger and excitement disappeared. My mind is now like a calm lake, without any waves at all.

Sarevok was startled when he saw this change, he waved to the four men behind him, and saw them all knelt down and prayed loudly, after a while, a faint barrier of divine power appeared on Sarevok. He proudly drew out the two-handed sword behind him, and slowly walked down the altar.

"The divine power of our dead father fills this temple. I have used these powers to reform myself while you are investigating. These four are the first believers. I have sealed their souls and Baal's stain in my body. Protect me and keep me from any harm. It is time to end this family dispute, my brother."

Salovek opened the prelude to the final battle with an extremely fierce sword. Henry ignored Apodel, who was struggling to resist, and focused on the four puppets who had lost their souls. He knew very well that if he didn't kill these guys who provided power first, he couldn't break through that layer of divine power barrier.

"Leave Sarevok alone! Kill those four believers first. Otherwise, you will never be able to harm him."

After hearing Henry's words, the others immediately gave up on Sarevok and changed their target to besiege. Without hesitation, Shandier cast the ninth-level magic "Spell Smite" on one of the mages, and saw a brilliant light fly over, instantly stripping away the protective magic on the mage's body. Minsk took the opportunity to rush forward and pierced his heart with a sword.

To everyone's surprise, the heart-broken corpse did not fall down. I saw a red divine power descending from the sky and pouring on the corpse, all the flesh and internal organs began to fall off, and within a few seconds it became a skeleton warrior. It held a two-handed giant sword formed by magic in its hand, and cut a big hole in Minsk's armor at once.

Henry didn't give the skeleton warrior a second chance to attack, and immediately fixed it in place with the third-level magic "Undead Immobilization Technique", followed by Minsk and Khalid rushing over to smash it into bone fragments. Seeing that one of his disciples died, Sarevok immediately left Apodel and wanted to rush over to deal with a few spellcasters first.

It's a pity that he underestimated Henry's insidiousness. The Terminator slammed out from the side and knocked it to the ground. Apodell hurriedly caught up and attacked back and forth. With the help of the legendary creation of the Terminator, Apodell easily held back Sarevok's footsteps.

Shandier used "Spell Smite" again without hesitation to strip away another mage's protection. Aimon saw the opportunity and shot a magic arrow, piercing his throat. Unsurprisingly, the corpse turned into a skeleton warrior again. Since they had already gained experience this time, everyone quickly dismembered it into pieces of bone.

Seeing his believers being killed one by one, Sarevok waved his two-handed sword angrily and shouted: "Ah! I am not reconciled! Why did my plan fail?! Isn't it me who is mentioned in the Alando prophecy that he will inherit the throne?"

After Henry killed the last skeleton warrior with the seventh-level magic "Big Fireball", he replied with a sneer, "You still want to inherit the god position with your half-baked level? You can't even control your own desires. Even if you temporarily become the God of Slaughter, it's just to provide nourishment for Barr's resurrection."

"Let your people back away. Now that the barrier of divine power has disappeared, the next thing should be between me and him." After speaking, Apodel took a deep breath and stood in the center of the temple.

Henry nodded, and asked the Terminator to put away his weapon and stand aside. The others also surrounded the city and watched the duel between the two sons of Baal. Salovek sneered and glanced at his brother and said mockingly: "Are you pitying me? Don't pretend! Your body is bleeding from the blood of the murder god. Come, embrace it like me, and inherit our father's career!"

Apodell shook his head calmly. "I'm different from you. I have a loving adoptive father, a happy childhood, and these partners who accompany me through life and death. I have many precious things, so I don't long to inherit my father's throne. Come, let's make a final settlement."

"It's ridiculous, you don't understand this world too much. Whether it's wealth, family affection, friendship, or love, all of these must be based on power. Only power is eternal! It is the only one!" Sarevok roared and launched the attack first.

Henry, who was standing aside, heard this sentence and agreed with it from the bottom of his heart. This is also one of the reasons why he would rather help Apodel than Sarovuk. Because same-sex repulsion, everyone hates guys who are very similar to themselves. Because they know what you are thinking all the time, they can easily deduce your plan.

No one is willing to share their secrets, especially a lonely traveler like Henry. He even maintains a certain degree of wariness against his own mother, sister, wife, and even children, not to mention someone as ambitious as Sarevok. But Aberdell is the complete opposite. He is very simple without much scheming, and always trusts his friends around him. Henry felt very relaxed when he was with him. Because this person never takes the initiative to doubt anything, even after experiencing so many betrayals and tribulations, he still maintains a pure heart. (to be continued..)
