Chapter 116 Chaos Erupts
Just as expected.
I knew it, influencing the Gray Mountain Dwarves directly with such a method and causing them to fall straight into a negative status.
It's not merely because there is Demon's Blood within the Gray Mountain Dwarves; the reason is much more complex.
There must be a powerful entity connected to the Evil God nearby, to showcase the Evil God's power so completely.
Exactly like what happened the last time.
Such hidden curses and corruption are because a strong individual among the Dwarves has completely embraced the Evil God, leading to such scenarios.
Otherwise, the gaze of the Evil God would not fall so easily, and the battle would be straightforward with complete suppression; it's not that simple.
Having learned more detailed information from Eric's mouth, Kana roughly understood what kind of creature the cultists had summoned.
It's undoubtedly a demon.
However, given the current situation, is it possible to summon a demon directly?
Kana initially thought it was some powerful cultist-like entity, with roughly Level Six strength. Only through a ceremony, alongside the Demon's Blood in the Gray Mountain Dwarves, could such an effect be achieved.
To her surprise, it turned out to be a full-fledged Demon Summoning Ceremony.
But now it's only version 1.0.
Starting directly with a Demon Summoning Ceremony seems a bit excessive, doesn't it? We've already crossed versions here.
Kana criticized, but after all, this is the real world.
The world shouldn't be weakened to the extent that it's so easy for a demon to descend.
But this ceremony resembles a typical Demon Summoning Ceremony, unmistakable to Kana.
It's very iconic, in later stages players can draw it themselves.
Summon demons with Goblin blood, corpses, and skulls, suggesting that the summoned demon wouldn't be too powerful.
This answers that question because if it wasn't powerful enough, it wouldn't influence the Dwarves like this.
This implies that the summoned demon must be powerful, which requires adequate rituals and sacrifices.
It's not that Goblin's sacrifices are being underestimated, but they truly lack the power.
If they had that power, Goblins wouldn't become Evil God's followers but rather exclusive sacrifices for him.
They would have long been completely annihilated by those mad cultists.
Unless the number of Goblins is sufficient, only then could quantity lead to quality.
What truly influences it then?
Alyris and the others followed behind Kana, watching Kana wander aimlessly since leaving the dungeon.
Clearly, he was deep in thought.
At times like these, they couldn't offer any help and could only follow along in silence.
At that moment, Kana suddenly halted.
He realized he'd forgotten one crucial point, which was about the Blood Race.
One must know that the reason he came to Gray Furnace Castle of the Gray Mountain Dwarves at this time was to help them fend off the Blood Race.
If the Blood Race indeed attacks the Dwarves, then it must be acknowledged that this problem truly has its origins.
This assistance is absolutely essential, because if not for the Dwarves' help, the Blood Race wouldn't have targeted them.
But now, looking at the situation, the Dwarves don't seem to be attacked by the Blood Race.
However, from what was just learned from Eric, the large-scale migration of Goblins towards Gray Mountain already indicates that the Blood Race is clearing out creatures in the forest at the mountain's foot.
No matter the reason, this suggests that the Blood Race possesses this kind of military strength.
Given they're already clearing Goblins at the mountain's foot, they seem to have the intention of driving Goblins up the mountain to harass the Dwarves.
But they haven't directly engaged, which is quite odd indeed.
According to Kana's expectations, by their arrival, there should be numerous Blood Race patrol units already operating to harass within Gray Mountain.
After all, that is the standard movement pattern for Blood Race troops.
First, there are massive patrol units, composed of giant bats and ghouls, which are abundant and highly effective expendable units of the Blood Race.
But they weren't seen, yet logically should be there.
All these conditions combine.
The answer to the problem seems to have revealed itself.
Thinking about the Blood Race's style, it's reasonable that the soldiers of the Blood Race would become followers of the "Bone Skull Master."
To some extent, the Blood Race and these Evil God Followers share many similar lifestyles, and the connections are actually quite deep.
Additionally, it's crucial to know that the Blood Race surely has some kind of tacit understanding with the Evil God.
At least, under the current circumstances, the Blood Race wouldn't deliberately reject or destroy the Evil God's faith.
Thus, a group of Blood Race Soldiers that worship the Evil God takes responsibility for clearing the Gray Mountain Dwarves.
Moreover, considering their relationship and the deity they worship, it's perfectly reasonable for them to want to come here.
Since it is a summoning ceremony conducted by Blood Race cultists.
This group of Blood Race likely has the Stone of Creation, which is rather normal.
If at present stage, there is Stone of Creation assisting the ceremony's process, then a demon's descent is entirely possible.
Even if the ceremony's sacrifice is merely Goblins, it would surely succeed.
It seems that upon resolving this issue, another fragment of the Stone would be acquired.
Intruders cannot use the Stone.
However, these intruders can use the Stone as a medium to descend into this world with a more perfect form and ease of power.
