The knight in the abyss

Chapter 458
"That sounds like a very reasonable request." Brutal poked his nostrils, "Most giants are idiots who are self-righteous and do evil. Isn't this Kostchurch known as the king of frost giants? I think he is an idiot The king is almost there!"

"Kostchurch is indeed a demon, but he was not a giant when he was a mortal." Karaline shook his head, "He was just an ordinary human being."

"A human?" Lancelot raised half of his eyebrows, "Then how did he become a... demon giant?"

"Kostchurch is one of the few abyss lords with a clear history. Before becoming what he is now, he was born in an ordinary tribe of barbarians. Apart from his severely deformed appearance, there is nothing special about him. But For his ugliness, women spurned him, family abandoned him, tribe rejected him, and the only thing that kept him alive in the wilderness was the growing anger in Kostchurch."

Karaline took a sip from his homemade cup. This ceramic cylindrical cup is actually a magic item, which can keep the liquid inside at a suitable temperature for drinking.After moistening his throat, the scholar continued to introduce the origin of this abyss lord:
"The dangerous wilderness did not kill him, but made the barbarian stronger. When he decided to return to his former tribe, no one could stop him from doing what he wanted. His brutal murder He killed the woman who had spurned him, and seized the chieftainship in a way too bloody for a barbarian tribe-by popping the head of the previous chieftain alive with his twisted arms. All who tried to resist him To my horror, there seems to be no upper limit to the damage that Kostchurch's terrifying body can take, and he can always respond to his attacker with multiplied anger."

"How is this possible?" Little Isa immediately questioned, "Could it be that... like me, he actually became a vampire?"

"No, but your guess is correct." Kara Lin showed an encouraging smile to the little girl, "Actually, during those years in the wilderness, he was adopted by a special existence—Babaya Ga, yes, it is the famous mother of witches."

The audience all exclaimed in unison, only Lancelot looked confused. He scratched his head and asked in puzzlement:

"This Baba Yaga... is she famous?"

"Hasn't Baba Yaga ever been harmed by Baba Yaga in your world?" Kara Lin looked at Lancelot with a look of surprise, "Maybe she didn't use that name... Have you ever heard about a girl with an ugly appearance and a weird temper?" , but has a witch who is as omniscient as a god? It is said that she likes to fly on a huge cauldron instead of a broom, and lives in a hut with chicken legs?"

"That is too impressive. If I have heard similar legends, I will definitely remember it." Lancelow shook his head, "Maybe the world I came to is a bit special. For a long time, I thought elves were only Creatures that exist in fairy tales..."

"Well, most agree that Baba Yaga is the strongest of the female spellcasters. She has a close relationship with all kinds of hags, and some even worship her. Apart from Kostchurch, her There's another famous adopted daughter, Tasha..."

"I also don't have much impression of this name." Lancelot found himself scratching his head again, "Did she also become an abyss lord?"

"No, but she successfully kidnapped an abyss lord, and gave birth to a demigod son with him." Kara Lin shrugged, "Now her name is Igwilf, and people call her 'Witch Queen', Graz'zt, the 'lord of darkness', maintains a complicated love-hate relationship with her. By the way, she wrote a tome called Demon Chronicles, which is full of information about the abyss lord and... Gossip, Many of these have turned out to be true."

"Wow... this one is too tough." Brutal turned to look at Lancelot, "Brother, you have to work harder..."

"Speak well!" The human knight who was listening with gusto lost his face, "It's too far away, this Babaya..."

"Baba Yaga."

"Sorry, Yaga Yaga...how did she make Kostchurch so powerful?"

"She gave Kostchurch a special necklace: the outermost was a frost giant's skull, inside was an ogre's skull, inside was a human, a halfling...and inside was a Quasai The skull of a demon, and in that skull was a black diamond, a magical container that could store the soul of a mortal. Kostchurch kept his soul in that gem, and from then on any harm to his body would be irreversible. His life."

"This sounds very similar to the Lich's method of immortality." Aramir interjected, "As expected of the greatest witch in legend, Baba Yaga's method sounds better than those great arcanists who turn themselves into skeletons They're much smarter."

"But the price is that the subject will gradually transform into a demon, is it really worth it?" Kara Lin shook his head slightly, "As a side effect of immortality, Kostchurch's body grew bigger and bigger, and eventually turned into a demon. What it looks like now. With terrifying strength and immortal body, Kostchurch's tribe finally became a kingdom, and the anger and hatred in his body did not weaken with the growth of power, and finally became the most powerful person in the entire multiverse. One of the cruel kings."

"Let me guess, this tyrant was defeated later, but his body was reborn in the abyss." Lancelow tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "It must not be some unknown person who can do this. Seniors."

"Actually, we have only seen a hero who accomplished this feat not long ago." The scholar laughed, "It was 'Whirlwind Wrath' Gwen Harviv, the two consorts of Queen Era, who ended the lives of mortals in Kostchurch One. She discovered the secret of Koschurch, destroyed the gem, and let the soul of the tyrant return to her body, so that she could be completely killed by her. After being reborn in the abyss, Koschurch The soul full of hatred and anger made him immediately obtain the power of the lord level, able to conquer the No.20 third floor of the abyss, and turn that level into what you saw before."

"But it's a demon now, I remember that giants have their own gods." Brutal tried to recall the history he learned from the priest when he was a child, "How did it take the faith of those frost giants?" ?”

"By offering immortality as a reward." Karaline said softly, "In the Iron Ice Field, creatures will not age and die naturally. Frost giants who swear allegiance to the Prince of Wrath will be allowed to live on that level. In fact, some Shrewd mortals will also secretly use this feature, provided they can not be found, otherwise they will understand what a stupid mistake they have made in order to live forever."
