Chapter 148: The 4-Armed Snake Demon and the Vientiane Card

Soon, the 'poor' demon lay dying in the cage;

Seeing this, Steve did not relax his vigilance at all and still looked ready for battle.

Although he didn't know the properties of the four-armed snake demon, he was relatively familiar with the advanced level of the four-armed snake demon, the six-armed snake demon;

Old Pete said that the six-armed snake demon is one of the demons in the abyss whose killing efficiency is second only to the Balrog.

In addition to the three attributes of strength, perception, and intelligence, the other three attributes of the six-armed snake demon are legendary attributes;

In the words of the system: The six-armed snake demon's agility, constitution, and charm are all at 20;

Moreover, she is not far from being a legend in three attributes;

The most important thing is that the six-armed snake demon has an excellent spellcasting ability, the most difficult of which is [120-foot teleportation] (about 40 meters).

Obviously, this four-armed snake demon does not have the ability to [teleport]. Otherwise, given the nature of demons, they would never be able to stay in the cage peacefully.

To be honest, Steve didn't know much about demons;

In addition to the knowledge that most people know, he also knows that the Styx Contract cannot bind the soul of the devil.

That's right, every demon born in the abyss will eventually be reborn in the abyss no matter where it dies;

Except for a few mages who are proficient in [Soul Binding], normal professionals are theoretically unable to kill demons.

The unique connection between demon souls and the Abyss also makes these demons unaffected by most contracts;

However, there are exceptions.

The [Alliance with Other Worlds] Contract is one of the few contracts that can restrict demons;

Because this kind of contract has no witnesses;

Most deeds have witnesses;

For example, the Styx in "The Styx Contract", the source of order in "The Order Contract"...

These contracts all have one thing in common: absolute binding force and a witness to the existence of the origin of the multiverse.

The Abyss is the source of chaos in the multiverse, and is no less powerful than any other existence. Demons are actually part of the Abyss.

Therefore, if you want to control the devil, you have to rely on the [Alliance with Other Worlds] contract which is controlled by your own willpower.

He stretched out his spear and poked the four-armed snake demon's twitching tail. Seeing no reaction from her, Steve turned around, took out a torch, and prepared to carefully examine the stone chamber.

In the light of the fire, all kinds of strange decorations appeared in Steve's sight;

The bones were cleaned and tightly packed, the human skin was intact, and there were murals of blood vessels and nerves of humanoid creatures;

Of course, there is also a whole wall of strong cages;

From the various strange bones and chitinous shells in the cage, it can be seen that many powerful monsters were once imprisoned here;

These monsters were most likely the research targets of the necromancer;

However, these monsters could not survive the erosion of time, except for the demon that had no lifespan at all;

Muttering to himself, he searched the place carefully;

Then, Steve, who was still quite professional, found a small square groove behind the mural of the blood vessels and nerves of humanoid creatures;

Removing the mural and bringing the torch closer, Steve carefully removed the only thing in the recess - a card;

This is a card with all kinds of strange curved patterns painted all around. The material is unknown, but it has a warm ivory texture.

In the center of the card, there is a blank space, as if something had been drawn there before;

Holding this playing card-sized card, Steve carefully examined it for a long time before he found a trace of familiar memory from his complicated memories;

"This thing... seems to be... uh... the Impermanence Card?"

As the pattern in his memory gradually overlapped with the pattern on the card in front of him, Steve threw the thing away without thinking, as if the card was hot.

The Vientiane Cards, a set of extremely magical cards invented by an unknown person. Each card in this set has various magical abilities that can affect the material plane;

Some will cause you to lose part of your memory forever, thus causing your career level to be lowered;

Some will give you a lot of secrets about your profession, allowing you to increase your professional level uncontrollably;

Some of them will make a guy you don’t even know feel hostile towards you;

Some simply give you attributes...

All in all, this deck is quite dangerous, but it also comes with unimaginable opportunities.

According to some mystics, the birth of the [Impermanence Card] is related to the long-lost goddess of fate.

Looking at the [Impermanence Card] lying quietly on the ground, Steve became unusually conflicted.

This thing is really powerful. It can give you wealth, experience, attribute points, territory...almost everything you can think of.

But once you are chosen to be punished, there is no place to cry.

In fact, it is not just Steve. Ninety-nine percent of people will fall into endless self-torture when facing the [Impermanence Card];

And once they start struggling, they will eventually open this card;

Only a very small number of people with extremely clear minds and no distractions can restrain their greed for the [Impermanence Card].

Obviously, Steve is not this kind of person with a very clear mind and no distractions;

On the contrary, he was decisive and even a little reckless most of the time.

Without thinking too much, he bent down to pick up the card on the ground, put his index and middle fingers together, and gently stroked the blank area on the card.

At the same time, he entered the virtual state with great alertness.

The next second, a breeze blew by.

In the flickering light of the torches, nothing happened.

Seeing this, Steve hurriedly looked down at the card in his hand, and the next second, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

On the [Impermanence of All Things] card, an image of a wretched thief with his face covered, his back hunched, and a package on his back slowly emerged.

"Gah! Thief card!"

[The Thief]: Summons a legendary thief from a distant and unknown world. The thief will stay by your side for 3 seconds.

In these 3 seconds, he will steal everything you have!

No wonder Steve couldn't see anything. The thief was an advanced rogue class with the strongest stealth ability. Even if the thief stood in front of him, Steve might not be able to see him.

However, Steve has already activated his virtual form, and even the items on his body have lost their collision volume. Otherwise, leaving here naked would be his final fate;

For a legendary thief, stealing a person's life in three seconds is as easy as crossing the street in the early morning.

Da da da...

Time flies, three seconds pass in a flash;

With a huff of anger coming from nowhere, the [Thief] card lost its effect;

Inside the room, Steve looked at the cards in his hand that had lost their effects and sighed weakly.

“I am still an un-African!

Never mind, I'm lucky I didn't get killed."

...
