Chapter 509: Tyrael’s Decision

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the lead of the three survivors, five days later, the Horadrim team headed to the Dreadlands and successfully stood in front of the black tower again.

This team could be regarded as the regular army of the Church of Horadrim. All the nephalem in the team were elite, battle-hardened warriors. The nephalem in Sanctuary were like this. After the influence of the Worldstone dissipated, the more they fought, the more they could stimulate their bloodlines and continuously obtain stronger knowledge and power from their bloodline inheritance. Although it wasn’t that the older they were, the stronger they became, they were definitely stronger.

After entering the tower, this elite nephalem army displayed a crushing momentum. The soft tentacles all over the tower were powerless to stop them. The barbarians and crusaders waved their sharp blades and cut these tentacles into pieces. The wizards burned these tentacles into ashes with a large number of powerful magic, and the strange poison of the witch doctors blocked the regeneration speed of the tentacles. They easily pushed all the way to the top of the tower and arrived in front of the octopus demon.

Sanctuary also had an ocean, but everyone had never seen such an ugly octopus or such a big one.

This octopus demon had a mouth full of densely-packed sharp teeth. The sharp teeth were divided into several layers in its mouth, and they were as terrifying as a rotating meat grinder. Hundreds of compound eyes were piled on its head, and from any angle, it looked like it was staring fiercely at you.

Dark power as thick as ink flowed around its body, and elemental powers such as flames, frost, and lightning kept flashing at the roots of its tentacles, indicating its extraordinary strength.

When the nephalem appeared in front of it, this terrifying octopus demon opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar. A disgusting stench gushed out from its mouth. Countless tentacles began to squirm, and the mucus on them made spiderweb-like threads. The next second, it attacked the nephalem.

The nephalem spread out and began to fight the octopus demon in small teams. The barbarians waved their axes crazily and charged at the front. The crusaders, paladins, and monks guarded on both sides. The demon hunters’ crossbow bolts flew out like rain from the rear and shot at the octopus demon’s eyes. The wizards waved their fluorescent staffs, and powerful meteorites smashed down…

Under this intense offensive, the solid black tower began trembling violently, giving people the feeling that it was on the verge of collapse.

“Strange. Although it’s a lord -level demon, it doesn’t look intelligent and can’t communicate at all.”

During the battle, the nephalem quickly discovered some strange places, so they couldn’t help communicating while they caught their breath.

“Not only that, but what’s even stranger is that such a powerful demon doesn’t have a soul!” a pale necromancer said. “At least I don’t sense the aura of a soul from it!”

As necromancers who used necromancy and dealt with corpses all day long, they knew souls the best. If they said that this octopus demon didn’t have a soul, then it really didn’t have one.

“I feel like this guy is an artificial demon!” A mage nodded in agreement.

“But who created it?”

No one could answer this question, but everyone’s hearts were gloomy because they all understood that creating a lord-level artificial demon meant that the creator had greater power.

Today, with the seven demon kings missing, the only one they could think of was the new demon king who had just descended into this world not long ago…

This strange octopus demon might be the test subject of the demon king. Was he already trying to create his demon army and preparing to destroy the world?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but increase the intensity of their attacks. After some effort, they finally cut this octopus demon into pieces and burned it into a pile of charcoal.

“Phew…” Seeing that the octopus demon couldn’t regenerate and finally died, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

They collected some of the octopus demon’s remains, preparing to bring them back for the wizards of the church to study and see if they could find any clues from them. After collecting them, they turned their gazes to the Kanai’s Cube placed on a shelf.

This cube was about the size of a washbasin, and some inexplicable patterns were engraved on the dark golden metal surface. At first glance, it indeed looked like Kanai’s Cube. But for those who had come into contact with the real Kanai’s Cube, they could tell at a glance that it was different from the real thing.

“It’s not Kanai’s Cube!” a wizard said after carefully releasing an Identify spell. “It’s tainted with some dark demon aura, but this cube itself does have some kind of powerful force. I can’t tell what this force is, but it’s definitely not

Kanai’s Cube. The runes on it are completely different from those of Kanai’s

Cube.”

“No matter what it is, let’s bring it back first!” a barbarian said casually. “I think that since this thing looks similar to Kanai’s Cube, maybe the demons want to imitate Kanai’s Cube.”

“Indeed, maybe this thing has the same effect as Kanai’s Cube. Let’s bring it back and let the church’s wizards test it!”

But someone suddenly said worriedly, “Wait, is it really good to bring it back like this? What if it’s a trap of the demons?”

“Anyway, let Lord Tyrael take a look first. He should be able to discover if there’s a trap!”

After discussing it for a while, everyone made a decision. They brought this imitation Kanai’s Cube out of the tower. The wizards summoned meteors again and completely destroyed the black tower, turning it into ruins, before opening a portal and withdrawing from the Dreadlands.

After the expedition team returned, the imitation Kanai’s Cube was quickly handed to the church. Worried about a possible trap, the church found

Archangel Tyrael and handed the imitation Kanai’s Cube to him to check.

Tyrael was very careful, so he checked very carefully. But after using various methods, he found that he couldn’t see anything at all.

Instead, during this verification process, Tyrael discovered the use of this imitation Kanai’s Cube.

This was indeed an extremely powerful alchemy item. It had the same principle as the real Kanai’s Cube, and it could transmute materials into powerful magical equipment. Although it was completely different from the alchemy formulas of Kanai’s Cube, its use was the same.

In short, this was an alchemical creation very similar to Kanai’s Cube.

After experimenting for a bit, Tyrael quickly stopped and didn’t dare to continue because he found that what this box needed during the alchemy process was… souls! It didn’t need too many complicated and difficult magic materials. It only needed souls during the process of making magical equipment. Moreover, the more souls invested, the stronger the effect!

“What an incomparably evil creation!” Tyrael said with lingering fear while holding the cube. “Now, I’m certain that it’s indeed something created by demons because no one other than demons would use souls as materials in alchemy!”

“Seal it!” Tyrael decided. “This thing must be sealed!”

No one questioned Tyrael’s decision. Although the wizards of the Church of Horadrim were wondering why they didn’t try to destroy this evil demon creation, they thought that it might not be so easy to destroy it, so they didn’t raise this question and agreed with Tyrael’s decision.

“No one can touch this thing!” Tyrael said. “You can obtain powerful magical equipment just by using souls. I’m worried that some people can’t control themselves and will secretly use it, so I have to seal it in a safe place.

“I’ll place it in the Tomb of Rakkis, where the Black Soulstone is sealed! ” Tyrael finally decided.

After hearing this decision, the wizard of the Church of Horadrim looked at each other. Their eyes were full of strange expressions, but no one questioned it…

Thus, the matter was settled like this.. This imitation Kanai’s Cube was sent deep into the tomb and placed in the same place as the Black Soulstone under

heavy defense…
