The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 235: 229 Feeling Better

Chapter 235: Chapter 229 Feeling Better@@@@

“All right!” the Scholar immediately did as told, reaching into the Howard utility bag behind him. Without any searching, he pulled out the first scroll his hands touched, which was the Enlarge Spell for humans. This was also a 2nd-level spell, with Arcane Runes written in ink mixed with iron filings.

The pale blue aura of the Transformation System’s magic lit up again, instantly flowing into Bruto’s body. In the blink of an eye, the Dwarf’s body rapidly grew taller and larger until he was almost twice the height of Lancelot, with a width more than four times as great.

“How does that feel?” Kalalin asked, smiling at the Dwarf now in Giant form, “Comfortable?”

“For... my... beard!!!!!!” The enormous Dwarf took steps forward again, but he stopped after less than ten feet.

“Moradin!!!!!!!”

Bruto loudly called out to his creator, as if the call itself granted him strength. The Dwarf’s waist suddenly bent forward. The chain was pulled two feet further, and the Giant Skull Demon let out a piercing scream, which then abruptly ceased.

The limits of flesh were finally broken. There came a ‘pop’ sound, like a champagne cork being released, and the Demon’s entire brainstem was pulled out from its massive skull, scattering on the ground like spilt milky oatmeal porridge, leaving white brain matter everywhere.

A terrible blast of mental energy exploded, a phenomenon unique to the death of creatures with powerful psychic abilities. Any creature with a frail will within range would have turned into an idiot from this impact, but fortunately, the Succubus Paladin had activated her Guardian Halo ahead of time, filling everyone’s minds with strong positive emotions, successfully withstanding the psychic storm.

The Dwarf collapsed to the ground, exhausted, his body quickly returning to its original size. His outburst had used up all the magic’s power, causing the spell that would have lasted a little while longer to expire prematurely, but Bruto’s chin-shaven face still showed a relaxed smile. He answered Kalalin,

“Yeah, that feels better now.”

“Yikes! This thing is really cold!” Koula quickly withdrew his hand, but then reached out again, this time lingering longer. “It doesn’t seem to have anything special.”

Seeing that there seemed to be no harm, everyone gave the divine artifact a feel, especially a scholar researching the Abyss, who touched the black sphere from top to bottom, making one wonder if he had a special fondness for spherical objects.

Lancelot also reached out his hand, feeling an icy chill as if the artifact was entirely made of metal and had been left outside on a snowy day for a night. Just as the Lords of Withering had claimed, apart from absorbing the surrounding light, the divine artifact appeared to have no other effects.

In their ears, there was no echo of the dark whispers or tempting calls that many legendary tales spoke of, as if it was really just a slightly odd bead.

Subconsciously, Lancelot tried to put a bit of the Abyss’s spiritual energy into the artifact in his hand, and to his surprise, the Eye of Sarizdon immediately responded. His vision blurred, and before him appeared a vast crevasse.

His vision was now at a very mystical angle. He could see clearly not only the overall structure of the crevasse but also the details of any part of it. In fact, he immediately recognized Kai-Oine and Mogrondale City beneath the Skeleton Tower. Clearly, he had inadvertently triggered the artifact’s effect, presenting before his eyes the entire structure of the Great Abyss.

Lancelot’s gaze swept down from above, and he saw hundreds of portals of various shapes, some surrounded by giant metal fortresses housing vast armies of demons, while others seemed long forgotten, with nothing around them.

It was unfortunate that, apart from the two portals leading to the Realm of A Thousand Eyes and the Well of Darkness, he recognized none of the other portals. He could only quietly take note of their appearance and later find an opportunity to identify each one.
