Lord of Spells from Faerûn

"Oh?" Shadow Dragon was a little surprised to hear Imrik's answer, "Another human who wants to pursue the power of the goddess."

According to the common sense of the Shadow Dragon, if you want to learn the secret art of shadow, you must connect to the Shadow Demon Network, and then you must accept the mission of serving the goddess. Therefore, in its view, since the mysterious mage in front of you wants to learn the secret art of shadow, , then they won’t become enemies.

"You can learn the secret technique of shadow, but you must first enter the temple of the goddess to be baptized." Shadow Dragon said proudly.

Imrik shook his head slightly: "No need to bother, I just need your magic knowledge."

Before the Shadow Dragon could refute, the mage raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Nine-ring evocation spell - [Extremely Effective and Powerful Expansion - Bigby's Shattering Palm].

The huge force field magic hand suddenly appeared and grasped the shadow dragon tightly. This sudden attack made the real dragon realize that the mage in front of him had evil intentions.

"Damn, wait a minute, even if I give you the spell model, you won't be able to use the Shadow Secret Technique without linking to the Shadow Demonic Network." Shadow Dragon said loudly.

Imric ignored it, and the locator of [Twilight Star] emerged from the void, bringing the shadow dragon that could not resist back to the demiplane. There is no sunlight in Earth's Lost City, so he must return to the demiplane to use [Slavery] to control this mature shadow dragon.

The process of control was not difficult. With Imric's current caster level, he could easily completely control the shadow dragon. At his request, the shadow dragon gave him all the knowledge he knew about the secret arts of shadow. Given to Imric.

After receiving the memory through the power of psychic energy, Imrik was teleported back to the Lost City of Earth. He still had to deal with the followers of Shar and had no time to digest the knowledge.

At this time, in the Lost City of Earth, the adventurers came to a place with strange scenery.

The underground world that should have been dark was instead shrouded in a hazy purple moonlight. In the huge cave, the adventurers saw a huge temple standing in the distance.

"Is this the temple of Shar?" Al, one of the four, was dumbfounded. "How on earth did they manage to build such a magnificent temple in such a short period of time."

The adventurers hid on the high stone platform. They could vaguely see that the temple was not completely completed. There were a large number of hanging ropes and stones around the temple. The lycanthropes were responsible for turning these raw materials into part of the temple.

"This number cannot be invaded head-on." The halfling thief judged, and this view was also endorsed by many adventurers.

"Take the path to the west," the monk said suddenly, "there are no troops there."

Everyone looked around and found that most of the lycanthropes were concentrated in the east. The temple in the west was in basically intact condition, with not only a huge ornate door, but also many glass windows. Except for a few lycanthropic guards at the gate, there were almost no troops.

Led by Al, dozens of adventurers quietly jumped off the stone platform. The cave was originally covered with a forest of stalactites, which provided them with excellent protection for their infiltration. They sneaked all the way and quietly arrived at the gate of the west temple. nearby.

"I'll take care of them," the halfling thief gestured to the guards at the distant gate.

The thief quickly approached the temple. The moonlight was blocked by huge rockeries around the temple. In the darkness, she could only rely on her own intuition and hearing to act. She felt the cold hilt of the sword slipping in his hand, her heartbeat quickened, and adrenaline rushed into her heart.

Suddenly, a guard appeared in his sight, and she quickly hid behind the stone pillar, cleverly avoiding the guard's attention. When she was sure the guard was gone, she emerged from behind the pillar and continued toward the door.

The halfling's small body was at home in the darkness. Like a shadow, she quietly approached the two guards at the gate, who were sleeping soundly.

This is a perfect opportunity! she thought to herself.

The thief drew his dagger, jumped hard, and stabbed the guard in the back. The dagger in his hand pierced the heart of one of the guards like lightning, and he didn't even let out a scream. The thief dragged the guard's body with his hands and quietly glanced at the sleeping guard next to him.

Fortunately, it didn't wake him up. The thief thought happily.

She repeated her old tricks, killing another guard again, dragging their bodies into the stone forest nearby and hiding them.

The people who observed the thief completing his mission from a distance also walked over in a swaggering manner. With the strength of many warriors, the door of the temple slowly opened with a heavy sound.

The adventurers held the weapons in their hands tightly, their hearts filled with vigilance and expectation. They know that this temple is a place full of treasures and dangers, and only bravery and wisdom can lead them to victory.

The monk followed in silence. Before entering, he glanced at the statue on the temple door. It was a graceful woman wearing a few strands of gauze skirt. The monk clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and stepped in as if he had made some determination.

After entering the temple, they found that it was a huge hall, with deep gems inlaid on the walls, shining with a faint light. There is a tall altar in the center of the hall, and a crystal clear purple gemstone is placed on the altar.

The adventurers were about to move forward when the monk stopped them.

"Wait a minute," the monk looked at the gleaming purple gem in silence, "Traps are the most common thing in Shar's temple. This gem is the energy source to maintain all the magic traps around it. Just walk in, you guys Death is certain."

"What should we do?" Al frowned and asked.

The monk once again took out a wooden staff, and the power of the shadow spurted out of his hand. A black beam erupted from the staff and hit the gem. The purple light shining on the gems immediately dimmed, and the many gems on the surrounding walls also lost their light, and the temple fell into darkness.

"It's okay now," the monk said.

The adventurers took out torches one by one and began to illuminate the surroundings. Al took a deep look at the monk. He felt something was wrong with the other party's sufficient preparation. This monk seemed to know the situation of the Shar Temple very well.

In the darkness, the light of the torch seemed extremely weak, and there seemed to be some kind of raging beast hidden in the shadow, quietly waiting for the arrival of visitors.

——

Outside the temple, just as the adventurers entered, many lycanthropes on the east side seemed to be summoned by some kind of existence. They put down their hard work one by one, picked up their weapons and prepared to enter the temple. But soon, uninvited guests blocked their plans.

"Roar!!"

The roars of various beasts came from the huge cave, and with a noisy running sound, a large number of magical beasts appeared in the stalactite forest near the temple on the east side.

"It's that legendary mage's herd!" There were panicked shouts from the lycanthropic crowd. Soon, they immediately regained their composure. Under the leadership of several leading lycanthropes, they relied on the rugged buildings of the temple to occupy the temporary fortification base.

The light of the purple moonlight is like a bright ribbon, spreading on the ground. Under this moonlight, the magical beasts became even more crazy and began to rush towards the lycanthropes in the temple.

These magical beasts have different shapes. Some are mud-like and as huge as a hill, as if ancient giant beasts have come to life; some are as strong as the wind, swift and flexible; some spit fire from their mouths, comparable to the [Fireball Technique]. The hot flames of the explosion drew arcs in the night sky; some of the claws were sharp and as hard as steel. They gathered in front of the temple door, bared their teeth and claws, and made a loud roar.

"Damn it, inform the high priest quickly." The leader of the lycanthropes said with a cold sweat on his face.

Imric looked down at the battlefield from high in the sky and felt something was wrong. The state of these magical beasts seemed wrong.

Under the attack of this group of wild beasts, the open space in front of the temple seemed to have turned into a battlefield filled with smoke. Stone shattered under the onslaught of the beasts, and the walls crumbled under their claws. And the solemn temple seemed to be in danger under the violent attack of these wild beasts.

The battle outside the temple alarmed the adventurers inside the temple, but they could no longer control so much. Their desire for treasure made them just want to go deep into the core of the temple as soon as possible to search for possible treasures.

After all, lycanthropes only have the power of fists and feet. Although this group of magical beasts are very crazy and have extremely low IQs, they are blessed with innate spell-like abilities. The originally huge lycanthropic army is reducing its numbers at an extremely fast rate.

Suddenly, a deep purple light shone from the temple. It was a mysterious force that seemed to have magical power. This ray of light was 30 feet wide, and all magical beasts that were illuminated immediately turned into shadows and disappeared in place, while those who transformed into beasts did nothing.

"The high priest has taken action!" the leader of the lycanthropes shouted, and then summoned his men to gather in the purple light to defend against the attack of the magical beasts.

These magical beasts want to enter the temple, but the area shrouded in purple light is the only way. They can only watch the beastman from outside the light.

"Interesting," Imrik raised his eyebrows. The effect of this spell seems to be very powerful. Similar to the dissociation spell, it can completely decompose the enemy. However, it can not only distinguish between ourselves and the enemy within the range, but the decomposed form also has the power of shadow.

"Shadow Demon's online version of advanced dissociation?" Imrik couldn't help but be curious.

Six-ring protection spell——[Advanced Dispelling Magic]!

Imrik threw a spell at the purple light on the ground, and a blue and green beam of light shot out from Imrik's hand. The moment the purple light was hit, it immediately flickered on and off as if it was disturbed. Soon, the lycanthropic people standing in the shadows were horrified to find that the purple light that should have been safe began to burn their bodies. The lycanthropic people's skin and flesh began to fall off and turned into the power of shadow.

Fortunately, the progress was not fast. The lycanthrope immediately realized that the spell had become chaotic and immediately withdrew from the purple light area. Imrik in the sky was also very surprised. [Advanced Dispel Magic] did not completely eliminate the effect of this spell, but made the spell confusing. This must be a spell that has reached at least the ninth level.

Nine-ring conjuration spell [extremely effective and powerful expansion—ultimate destruction sphere]!

The mage standing high in the sky tilted his magic power again, and a huge black sphere appeared at the gate of the temple. An extremely terrifying and void force was bred in the sphere. It moved slowly, and everything that touched the surface of the sphere instantly turned into ash.

The huge sphere slowly entered the purple light, and two powerful spells that were equally committed to turning everything into nothingness began to compete with each other for control. The surface of the destruction sphere was covered with a layer of purple moonlight, with traces of black. The space cracks also began to spread in the purple moonlight. The two powerful forces continued to push each other. The ground below them was continuously dissociated layer by layer, either turning into ashes or turning into the power of shadow. Soon , a huge pit appeared at the gate of the temple.

"Oh my god, what kind of power is this?" The lycanthrope leader was stunned. This purple moonlight was an advanced spell that only the high priest could release. It was a blessing given by the goddess herself, and it actually had the power to resist it.

The Destruction Sphere and the Purple Moonlight were still fighting each other, but this high-intensity battle seemed to have reached its limit. Imrik noticed with sharp eyes that the shape of the Destruction Sphere had begun to become void, and the Purple Moonlight also It became flickering again.

The lycanthropes and magical beasts are still staring blankly at this rare magic spectacle, but soon, they will regret their stupidity.

"boom!!"

The Destruction Sphere exploded in the purple moonlight. The nine-ring spell that was supposed to be indestructible and unable to be lifted actually collapsed completely. Huge arcane fluctuations rose from the Destruction Sphere, and a huge shock wave devastated nearby people. All the lycanthropes were removed, and the purple moonlight exploded. A purple round light enveloped everything around it, and a dull cry of pain came from the temple.

The explosion of purple light and destruction sphere covered half of the temple. After the explosion, a huge pit appeared on the spot, and the wood and stones that originally constructed the magnificent temple, as well as the surrounding creatures, all disappeared.

Seeing that there was no obstacle in the distance, the group of magical beasts in the distance immediately rushed towards the temple excitedly again, and this time, there were no lycanthropes blocking their progress.

"Damn beasts! Inferior Cave God, how dare you invade the temple of the great Night Goddess!" A delicate shout came from the temple, and a skinny beastly girl wearing a priest's robe emerged from the temple. Walked out.

"It's her!" Imrik was quite surprised to find that the lycanthropic girl who came out turned out to be the first group of lycanthropes found on the ship.

"It seems that Shar's followers had already begun to infiltrate at that time," Imrik knew in his heart, but what he was more concerned about was the other existence in the girl's mouth.

"The God of the Cave." Imrik couldn't help but retrieve the deeds of this god in his memory.

The god of caves, the lurker in the darkness, and the lord of the dry depths—Abrandor. This lizard-like god is a weak divine power. Are these magical beasts the work of the other party?

Imrik, who originally thought that these magical beasts were under the control of the madman Halaster Blackrobe, was quite surprised, but he did not expect that another god would intervene.

After learning this, Imric decided to change his strategy. Originally, he planned to kill the magical beast and then call for Suellen to come. Now he plans to wait and see what happens. If Abrandor really goes to war with Shar, then he will With Su Lun, we can safely enter the scene at the end.
