Stray

After isolating Telaranea mind network, Nemo and Oliver retreated to the corner together.

This time it wasn’t because of their aversion of the Sage of the Abyss himself, but the scene in front of them was too weird. Aging, death from starvation, and a long-dried up corpse; any of these factors would make it significantly more difficult to obtain the memories of the dead. After all, no one could make the dead speak. The complexity and tedium of the matter was comparable to recovering the contents of a book from a pile of burnt-out paper that had been reduced to ashes.

Telaranea was very careful.

In front of them, he took a little flesh from the demon’s eye inside his body and used it as material for the magic array. After disposing of the purple flesh, the demon took out a dragon breath stone dagger and inserted it into his arm without hesitation.

In order to prevent the wound from healing too quickly, Telaranea didn’t even pull it out. Black blood with a faint redness kept gushing out from the wound and dripped to the ground.

The Sage of the Abyss ignored it.

He carefully smeared the magic array with his own flesh and blood. The decayed floors, furniture, and walls quickly became bloodstained and was painted with weird symbols. The headless mummified body was placed in the corridor, while the decayed head full of eyes was placed in the center of the array.

The superior demon worked tirelessly, and the massive blood loss made his skin turned lime gray. In contrast, as the array became complete, the smile on Telaranea’s face became more satisfied.

The entire scene was extremely morbid. If they added a few candles, this was a perfect setting for a cult festival.
