Chapter Ten: Intimidation!
The Magic Suppression Prison is a very dangerous place.
Its challenge difficulty is still within the range of the High Priest, but it has far exceeded the endurance of others in the team.
Soren initially prepared two backup plans. The first backup plan was for if the enemy’s strength was not too formidable; in that case, Soren would descend as a divine avatar upon Holy Spirit Priest Milan. The second plan was for very dangerous enemies; if even the High Priest could not defeat them personally, then the High Priest would send a distress signal to Soren himself, and Soren would use the High Priest as a teleportation beacon to reach the battlefield directly.
Soren received the signal for the second situation.
The enemy had surpassed what the High Priest could handle, and the others in the team were even at risk of losing their lives.
The entire team was composed of elite forces from Modo City; the loss of any one person would be serious for Soren, so he hesitated not at all and directly opened a portal using divine power.
In the next moment.
Soren’s figure appeared in a deep sea.
Suddenly arriving in the ocean made Soren feel slightly uncomfortable, but as a deity, his adaptability to the environment was very strong, and soon he moved as nimbly as if he were on land.
Next to him was the High Priest, who served as the teleportation beacon.
At this moment, the others in the team were in quite a predicament, especially the giant who served as the meat shield, having even lost an arm.
“What happened?”
Soren furrowed his brow as he looked at the others present and said in a deep voice, “What kind of monster did we encounter?”
With a wave of his hand.
Accompanied by the radiance of divinity, Soren used [Greater Restoration] to heal the giant’s injuries, and soon he saw the severed arm regenerating at a visible speed. As a high-ranking deity, although Soren’s power had been greatly diminished due to the Saint’s Cataclysm and he could not use resurrection spells, if it was merely physical injuries and not d*ath, saving someone could be done in the blink of an eye, even if they were bisected.
“Son of Dagon!”
The High Priest, looking somewhat weary, slowly said, “My lord! Below, there is a true Son of Dagon! It possesses a very strong mental stance!”
“All the devilfish in this sea area are under its control.”
……………
A true Son of Dagon?!
Soren understood the situation upon hearing this and frowned slightly, saying, “I’ll go take a look; you all be careful following behind.”
He had encountered a Son of Dagon before.
But that encounter was with a bottom-tier existence, so it couldn’t really be considered a true Son of Dagon. The previous Son of Dagon merely inherited Dagon’s bloodline and physique; many of the special abilities possessed by Obsidian Demons were not utilized by that Son of Dagon at the time. Otherwise, winning that battle would have been almost impossible since Dagon is best at melee combat and mass killings. Since the High Priest mentioned it as a true Son of Dagon, then the demon below likely inherited significant power.
Dagon has many offspring.
As the most powerful aquatic Demon Lord, Dagon is an undeniable presence in the ocean domain, with descendants spread across many oceans in the multiverse, even in areas close to the River of Underworld, though those are much more dangerous. Some Sons of Dagon have even reached the strength of a ‘Lesser Demon Lord,’ and this one before him is probably a similar existence.
Since the High Priest feels dread, it naturally possesses domain power!
The seawater was shrouded in a violent arcane energy.
Soren could confirm that below was the Magic Suppression Prison, for such strong energy radiation is produced only in very few places.
As Soren delved deeper, images of devilfish started appearing around him. He had yet to see the Son of Dagon, but sensed a dangerous aura through his divine sense.
In the next moment, a row of data appeared before Soren:
“Entering Chaos Domain!”
“You are affected by the [Chaos] domain effect of the Son of Dagon! … All your saving throws receive a -2 penalty!”
……………
Sure enough, it possessed domain power.
At this moment, Soren also saw the gigantic shadow lurking in the deep sea canyon.
It had discovered Soren.
Then, another data prompt appeared:
“You are attacked by the [Nightmare] spell effect of the Son of Dagon! … Triggering willpower saving throw! … Saving throw successful! … You are immune to the effects of this spell!”
“You are attacked by the [Confusion] spell effect of the Son of Dagon! … Triggering willpower saving throw! … Saving throw successful! … You are immune to the effects of this spell!”
“You are attacked by the [Soul Branding] spell effect of the Son of Dagon! … Triggering mental saving throw! … Saving throw successful! … You are immune to the effects of this spell!”
A series of data prompts indicating immunity to spells appeared.
Soren couldn’t help but frown, secretly thinking that it was no wonder the High Priest and the others were unable to fight back; given the strength of the current Son of Dagon, it would be impossible for anyone but the High Priest to completely avoid so many control spells after entering the [Chaos Domain].
All control spells were ineffective.
The Son of Dagon seemed to realize that Soren was stronger than any enemy it had encountered before.
Then, it emitted a strange sound, and a large swarm of devilfish surged from the bottom of the canyon, numbering perhaps in the hundreds, all rushing toward Soren.
“Get lost!”
Soren looked at the dense swarm of devilfish, a golden radiance emerging in his eyes in an instant, followed by a furious roar directed forward.
——”Intimidation! [Divine Transformation]”
Soren’s roar created a wave at the seabed, and immediately all the devilfish rushing at him trembled, as if encountering something immensely terrifying, and fled frantically in all directions!
Intimidation successful.
Soren’s base skill of intimidation reached a terrifying 575 points, meaning that all creatures below the legendary rank could be dispersed by him solely based on his imposing presence. To put it in terms of data, this large group of devilfish was instantly frightened from red-named to yellow-named by Soren’s intimidation.
All deep-sea monsters controlled by the Son of Dagon were sent into a state of intimidation by Soren’s roar.
The plan to use numbers to exhaust Soren’s strength failed, and the Son of Dagon immediately launched an attack against him. Suddenly, gigantic tentacles surged from the canyon’s depth, writhing toward Soren from all directions.
——”Strangle!”
Facing the fearsome tentacles, Soren charged forward expressionlessly. Accompanied by a bizarre silvery light, all the tentacles were directly severed where he passed.
He was no longer the same as he was in the past.
As a deity with [Medium Divine Power], and equipped with artifacts, even against an enemy like the Son of Dagon, Soren could achieve complete dominance!
