Just when the incarnations of Bane and Thom died together in the Dragon Bay, they took the sea of ​​souls of their respective believers and rushed to the lower planes along the rushing River Styx, towards the Obscure Prison in the Destroyed Wasteland.

While they were in the underground city of Gishui City, Melkor, the God of the Dead, and Baal, the God of Slaughter, who were both 'gods of death', sensed the huge fluctuations of death energy at the same time, and raised their heads in disbelief.

Melkor, who was lying on the sacrifice and feasting, was stunned on the spot:

"How is it possible that Ben is 'dead'!"

The reason why he borrowed the power of the God of the Dead so neatly and lent Bane the power of the dead souls was that on the one hand he was indeed threatened by Bane, and on the other hand he also had his own plans:

Anyway, the slate in Ben's hand has been lost. It is better to simply use the other party's madness to attract the greed and hatred of other saints to Ben, so that he will be safe for the time being and have more time.

, to slowly build his kingdom of the dead and study the use of the stone slab in his hand.

But he never expected that Ben would not only fail, but also fail so quickly!

"No! I can't stay here anymore! I have to move to a safer base."

While Melkor was spinning blindly in the stone chamber like a frightened mouse, Baal, who was hidden in the shadow in the corner of the ceiling, took a deep breath and slowly pulled out two daggers from his waist, thinking the same thing in his mind:

‘We can’t wait any longer, why not just ask for the whereabouts of the stone slab directly. Anyway, Melkor has just spent a lot of divine power on the living sacrifice, and he should not be my opponent. As long as we get the stone slab, we can escape to the Eastern Continent.’

But just as Melkor was holding the bone scepter in his mouth and preparing to run away, and just as Baal was sharpening his sword at the 'rat', a group of rats swarmed into the stone chamber and chirped at Melkor.

"What? A large number of humans entered the sewers?" Melkor had just exclaimed.

A burst of acrid white smoke filled the air.

The group of rats dispersed in panic. Melkor's remnants of godly thinking and his pride as a god made him pause for a moment and inhale the strange white smoke.

The whole rat immediately stood up straight like a woodchuck, pinched its neck with both claws as if it was burning from the inside out, its scarlet eyes bulged, and then fell to the ground while wrestling.

The ground was frothing at the mouth, and the bottom was gushing. The whole mouse convulsed in pain, and kept squeaking:

"Oh despicable humans, they actually sprayed rat poison into the entire sewer!!!"

This unexpected scene made Bald who was standing aside a little stunned. He was caught off guard and took a breath. Although he was a little dizzy, it was not as exaggerated as Melkor's performance.

Barr was frightened and immediately glanced at the alchemy surveillance devices he had left at various intersections, and saw rows of human soldiers wearing white chemical protective suits that covered their entire bodies, with their backs

Wearing a device similar to a pesticide can, one hand kept pulling the manual lever compression device, and the metal nozzle on the right hand continued to spray out the strange white poisonous mist.

Wherever they passed, the rats in the sewer fell to the ground and twitched in great pain, and soon bid farewell to their short life as rats.

Barr immediately realized that this was probably an alchemical poison prepared by a pharmacist specifically for the strong metabolism of rats.

Obviously large doses have toxic side effects on humans themselves, but it is probably because Melkor spread the plague in the city of Kasui in order to obtain a large number of dead souls in a short period of time, which completely angered the owner of the city.

Therefore, we must spare no effort to eliminate these rodent pests, and at the same time find out the source of the trouble behind them, even at the cost of some health!

At the same time, he also realized that this was a rare opportunity!

But just as Baal was about to take action, the entire wall of the stone chamber exploded, causing Melkor to scream.

The smoke dispersed, and a suppressed angry voice sounded along with their footsteps:

"Oh, I thought the rumored God of Death looked terrible, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be a big rat? It's really ugly and funny."

As the two approached, they finally saw clearly who was coming.

It was none other than the faceless lord of the city, Khelben, and his wife Lyra Silverhand.

I don’t know if it was because the previous explosion blew away part of the smoke, but Melkor finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the visitor with his scarlet eyes:

"Who did I think they were? They turned out to be two favored ones of Mystra.

"But even Mystra is dead and the Magic Network has collapsed. Can you, the 'Magic Network Powers', still use any decent magic?"

Kelben, however, grinned ferociously, thrust the black staff in his hand to his side, pulled out a scimitar and said:

"To be honest, I was worried about this problem at first, but after all, I was a ranger for hundreds of years before I learned magic.

"Although I really don't seem to have much potential as a ranger, it shouldn't be a problem to kill a gutter rat like you."

These words with full sarcasm directly angered Melkor, who was already a little insane due to the alchemical poisonous mist, and deeply touched the pain point deep in his heart:

"Arrogant mortals! You are the insignificant and ugly mice! You are the ones!

"How dare you mock me, the God of the Dead!

“You are asking for death!!!

"squeak!!!"

Melkor's angry roar actually produced a sound wave that was like a substance, causing flying sand and rocks to fly.

Kelburn, who was worried about Laila's safety, did not choose to attack immediately, but held a knife in front of his wife, and soon saw a horrifying scene that made the hair stand on end.

Seeing that countless rats that had escaped from the poisonous fog seemed to have responded to the call of their 'gods', they started to gnaw at the rat bodies of Melkor and his companions. At a glance, they looked like a mosaic.

A squirming ball of flesh and blood.

"Oh shit, this thing seems to be getting more disgusting."

The disgusted Kelvin lowered his head and looked at the 'little broken knife' in his hand, and suddenly felt that his plan to eliminate rats was a bit disgusting.

Behind him, Laila, who was also unable to use any powerful magic, fired a few arrows one after another, but all of them were swallowed directly by the wriggling flesh ball.

Soon this 'evil sacrifice' finally came to an end, and a 'giant rat' with no hair on its body, just like it had just grown from the placenta, arrived.

Although it is a stunted young rat, its body length is close to the peak of Levi's body due to his divine power.

A rat as huge as a dragon appeared out of thin air in the sewers of Jishui City, so that the originally empty maintenance channel instantly became crowded.

"Okay, now let's continue." Melkor tilted his head and stared at the Kelben couple who seemed a little confused, speaking unclearly.

"Now how to do"

Laila also felt that their combat effectiveness was a bit weak when facing such a thing.

"What else can I do and run!!!"

Kelben, who was originally full of momentum, looked at this evil-god-like thing, and immediately took Laila's hand and ran away like crazy.

While running away, he shouted towards the end of the empty sewer:

"The plan has changed! Everyone retreat! Fall back! Evacuate the underground city!

"Goddess! Lord Wojin! Haven't you arrived yet? If you don't come to our Jishui City, it will be over!"

The two of them ran like this for who knows how long. Then they turned another corner, and a huge hairless thing rushed out from behind and hit the stone wall of the sewer, causing the entire sewer and even the entire Jishui City to tremble.

.

The movement caused by this was too great. Finally, a figure wearing a gorgeous wealth sacrificial dress appeared in front, with her right hand on her waist, and a voice like the sound of nature sounded:

"Who is calling your noble, beautiful and powerful goddess of wealth?

"Oh, you two miserable little bastards, let me see what kind of evil is chasing you."

Kelben looked at the aura of the goddess and almost cried with joy. He took Lila and jumped directly past Wojin, and at the same time thanked:

"Ah! Thank you for the mercy of fate! Your Majesty Wo Jin! You have finally arrived as promised!

"Then I'll leave that monster to you first! I'll organize the manpower to find a way to kill it!"

Wo'jin looked at the backs of Kelben and the others, feeling a little confused. He wanted to reach out to retain her, but was afraid that this would damage her image as a goddess.

"Eh? Didn't you guys not help me? This is not the same as promised."

Bang!

As Melkor's hairless giant rat rushed out of the corner, spitting stars and roaring ferociously, he burst into Vol'jin's field of vision.

The corner of the goddess of wealth's mouth immediately twitched.

"Roar!!!"

Melkor, who had inhaled a large amount of poisonous mist, no longer had much sense in his eyes at the moment. Looking at Vol'jin who suddenly appeared, his eyes were full of greedy appetite, and he let out a roar like a storm, which messed up Vol'jin, who was dressed in fine clothes.

The bun is crooked.

"ah!!!

"Kelben! Laila! Wait for me!

"This rat is really disgusting and scary!

"Help!!!"

The Goddess of Wealth was frightened to tears by this terrifying scene that she had never seen before. She cried bitterly and ran away in the direction Kelben and the others left while weeping bitterly. She kept throwing things from her sleeves with her eyes closed.

He took out a large number of gold coins and threw them at Melkor using divine power as a weapon.

Melkor's head was covered with bangs and bangs, and the ground was covered with smashed gold coins.

"Don't come over here!

"So disgusting!!!"

It's a pity that this method of attack does not seem to be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.

Melkor couldn't help but roar as he was hit by this goddess, inhaling more rat poison, and his speed became faster.

It's a pity that this coin-throwing goddess doesn't seem to be very sensitive to direction, and it became even more so after becoming a saint. It took several detours before she found the right direction.
