Chapter 499: As Strange as That Old Man
Xingluo nodded and left the demon's mansion without saying a word, while Gracis looked down at the cursed object impatiently. This weapon was forged from Stygian Iron and Shadow Steel, emitting a deep black light. The surface was covered with faint fluorescent patterns, as if the stars were twinkling in the dark night. The shape of the weapon was similar to that of an ancient longsword, with a sharp and slightly curved blade, and the blade was engraved with complex runes and taboo symbols, which glowed faintly in the dark. The sword was about one meter long, with a moderate blade width, and could be used for both slashing and stabbing. The hilt was made of Shadow Steel, which felt comfortable to hold, and was wrapped with bone bands made from the remains of undead creatures. These bands carried the breath of death and corruption, and felt cold to the touch. The edge of the blade was extremely sharp, as if it could easily cut through the soul. The blade was inlaid with an evil eye, which came from a creature of the abyss, and from time to time it flashed an evil red light, which made people shudder. In the center of the sword, there is a transparent crystal container, which contains soul fragments. The soul fragments emit a faint blue light, as if countless souls are struggling in it. Part of the edge of the sword blade is covered with venom from highly toxic creatures, which is dark green and has a faint pungent smell.
The blade emits an intense dark glow when the spell is activated, and the runes and forbidden symbols on the blade light up, increasing the power of the curse. There is a small crystal bottle at the base of the hilt, which contains the Tears of Pain. These tears release intense emotional energy when the weapon is used, increasing the power of the curse.
This cursed object looks extremely evil and dangerous. When it is activated, it exudes a strong dark aura. It seems to come from the depths of hell and carries a powerful curse. Whenever someone holds it, they will feel a cold and evil force passing from the hilt to the whole body. This sword is not only a powerful weapon, but also a work of art full of taboos and mystery.
At this time, Gracies looked at the cursed sword and couldn't let it go. He kept playing with it. He really liked this cursed object. Cursed objects are something that humans want to avoid, but for demons, they are handy equipment. This is the strongest cursed object made by Xingluo in this layer of the abyss, the cursed sword. He originally wanted to ask Gracies's opinion, but the other party didn't seem to be interested in this. As long as the equipment is easy to use, it doesn't matter what it is called. This is very different from the Flame Hammer Magic Shop opened by Xingluo. Those nobles wished that their weapons had unique appearance and domineering names. Xingluo couldn't help but sighed when he thought of this. He knew that he still had a long way to go. The next step was to see whether Gracies would fulfill his promise, otherwise he would have a tough battle to fight.
After getting used to this cursed object, Gracies felt much better. For the devil, the method of leaving this abyss is a secret, but it is not something that cannot be told. Since the other party can make such a powerful cursed object, his strength is estimated to be not bad. He does not want to break up with him now. Maybe he can still use the other party in the future.
"This is the way to leave this abyss, and also the way to contact me. Since you already know my real name, it will be more convenient to contact me." Gracies seemed to be in a good mood and spoke in a light tone.
Xingluo was excited, but his facial muscles were perfectly controlled, without revealing any flaws. He smiled and said, "Okay, the deal is done. See you later."
Glacis looked in the direction where Xingluo left and muttered, "See you later? What does that mean? Why is he talking so strangely like that old man?"
After Xingluo left, he returned to the hotel room in the city. He had lived here for a long time and had been paying for it, so he naturally kept it. Although it was a world of the abyss where the strong preyed on the weak, it was rare to secretly rent out a place that others had bought to make a second profit. Xingluo looked at the familiar room and felt happy. He took out the parchment scroll given by Gracies from his arms and read it carefully.
The Abyss, in the eyes of outsiders, is a multi-layered plane full of demons and evil creatures, each with its own unique characteristics and rulers. Everyone may enter the Abyss in various ways, such as through portals, magic, or the summoning of demons. The method of leaving each layer of the Abyss to go to different layers usually requires specific magic, portals, or the help of demons. Xingluo is most interested in portals. After all, he is a space magician. For others, space teleportation is something they want to avoid, but space magicians like Xingluo think this is the most suitable way for him. There are natural or magic-created portals in the Abyss. These portals can connect to other layers of the Abyss or completely different planes. But not every layer has them. For example, the plane where Xingluo is located has no natural portals, and there are no artificial portals either. This makes him a little depressed. If there are really portals, he only needs to find these portals and activate them to leave this layer of the Abyss, even if it costs a little magic core.
There is also a unique kind of wizard or warlock who has the ability to cast specific magic to travel through the planes, such as the "plane teleportation" spell, which can move them from one plane to another. This magic requires a unique spell, which is actually recorded in detail, but the first requirement is that you must have a talent for space magic. Xingluo couldn't help but raise his mouth when he saw this. This cursed object is worth making. Not only does it provide a way to leave the plane, but it also gives you a new magic spell. However, Xingluo didn't stop there, but continued to read down. In addition to the above two ways to leave, there is a third way, which is to get the help of demons and trade with demons in the abyss in exchange for help moving from one layer to another. This method is usually accompanied by risks, because the demon may have its own purposes and often do not abide by the agreement. Strictly speaking, Xingluo used this method, but Gracies also fulfilled the agreement. As for how the demon helps others leave, it is estimated that the first method is used, taking the other party to a certain portal, but the location of the portal is not written on the parchment, which is a bit intriguing. Could it be that Gracies does not want him to leave this layer of the abyss, or is it really as he thought before, there is no portal at all on this layer.
