Happy Life
Auto-translated
Returning to the gods, I found them in a bad mood. Arguing, insults, suspicions – it was all as usual, but it wasn't entirely clear what it was about.
"Another prophecy, Master, one of those that predicts the doom of all living things. A certain Ashur will come and destroy everything. And it also says that one god is in league with him and is planning something against all the others," Zizix told me.
"Where did you hear all this?"
"From our prophet, Mitros, Master."
Hmm. I wouldn't mind if the gods forgot about me for a while and focused on another problem. Perhaps I could even benefit from the situation and avoid the fanatical wrath of Persephone. However, given the new threat, she was less concerned with minor incidents and even offered me a job. It seemed she wanted to forge an alliance with Stratos, who was currently remaining neutral. She claimed that Pyro was the god-"traitor." Not wise. He is the most straightforward and honest of them all. Stratos himself suspected the god of death. Perhaps. But I didn't care, and no one was interested in my opinion.
Pyro, with whom I had established a working relationship, sent me to Elysium, in the domain of Persephone, whom he was offended with for her baseless accusations. This land is known for being the habitat of trolls, and it has been guarded since time immemorial by Yogo, an elderly mage with whom I would have to deal. Well, let's see.
At first, everything went well. I admired the nature, listened to the birds singing, and placed manaliths on the mana sources, occasionally kicking the little creatures that got in my way. Then I saw a troll for the first time, and it suddenly jumped out from behind a hill with a howl. A slight panic overcame me when I saw that the wounds inflicted by my warriors healed faster than they appeared. And it, lumbering and waving its arms, was heading straight for me. A very unpleasant situation. I had to unleash all my meager arsenal of spells to stop it. So, I decided to increase the number of flamethrowers.
I also found troll dwellings, and this discovery almost turned out to be fatal. I had to burn everything down.
I continued on my way, fending off ambushes. Somewhere nearby, Yogo's altar loomed, but he himself was nowhere to be seen. He only appeared after I destroyed his outpost. And he attacked from behind, quite sneakily. I left a few cultists on the front line, firmly binding them to a manalith, and teleported to the site of the attack. There I met Yogo. A frail old man, very energetically casting spells, running so fast that you couldn't keep up with him. Well, I didn't chase him; instead, I simply ordered an attack from the air, and I helped my mechanoids in the battle with his warriors. The battle was very intense and swept across half the sector. The fire pincers (bugs, not a tool :)), with their shots burning Yogo's mana, worked well. Finally, we pushed the enemy back to the altar, where he had nowhere to run, and he met his end there. There were no others willing to repeat his fate, and from the City of Fire, Pyrobore, the Ambassador Buta himself arrived with a retinue of cultists and Festus, who took command of the conquered territory. Pyro was so happy that he offered me his blessing, which I gladly accepted.
We will fight more!
1) My new assistant is a fire pincer. When I was playing with air and fighting fire, it was very unsettling to suddenly receive a swift beam from nowhere, like from a railgun, knocking me back several meters and depriving me of a third of my mana. An advanced unit, it requires two souls instead of one to summon.
2) A battle near the base. It's unclear what's happening; all you can see is that I'm in a fire shield. And somewhere to the right, Yogo is running around and causing trouble.
3) His underhanded tricks didn't save the old man, and his shell was destroyed. The strange, semi-transparent thing to the left of me is his spirit, which will become invisible in a few seconds and run to the mana source to be reborn.
4) His altar, covered with pagan symbols. To the left, you can see an enemy creature tied to a manalith. Bound creatures greatly increase their stats, receive good regeneration, and the manalith cannot be destroyed while they are alive. One bound creature can take down three ordinary ones without straining.
5) I started building a manalith, and a troll that had been hiding behind the rock suddenly jumped out and started beating me up. That was underhanded =[br][/br]
6) I finally managed to capture Yogo in the frame. A funny little gnome in a cap, either sitting on one ostrich leg or it being part of his body... His little machines are chasing him. This is happening under the roof of his altar.
7) I sacrificed one monster and thereby desecrated his altar. You can observe the gruesome process. Even the roof shook.
