The Road of Sacrifices sprawled before me, a grim and twisted path, littered with the remnants of lost souls and shattered ambitions. The air was thick with the scent of decay and damp earth, and the cries of lurking creatures echoed through the mist. Yet, amidst the gloom, I found a new thrill—a spell of delicious, chaotic power: Mind Corruption.
With a mere whisper and a flick of my fingers, I could weave confusion into the minds of my foes. The charm twisted their thoughts, and soon enough, they would see each other as enemies. It brought a wicked smile to my face. As I drifted along the road, I found a cluster of creatures, vile and violent, huddled around their spoils. I cast my spell with practiced ease, watching as one among them turned on his kin with bloodlust in his eyes. Within moments, the whole pack was embroiled in a deadly skirmish, and I stood back, watching the chaos unfold like a beautifully dark performance. Their snarls, their desperate attacks—it was as if I were the conductor of a twisted symphony, each strike, each scream a note of delicious discord.
With each step, I left ripples of havoc in my wake, the creatures tearing at each other, unaware of the true puppet master who pulled their strings from the shadows. It was… amusing, to say the least. For a brief moment, the Road of Sacrifices had become my playground.
But my delight was short-lived, for at the path’s end, a greater challenge awaited: the Crystal Sage. I had heard of this sorcerer, a master of illusions and arcane power. As I entered the clearing, he greeted me with a barrage of crystal shards, dazzling and deadly. His form flickered, splitting into mirages that filled the space around me. The first strike was a test—his way of measuring my strength. I felt a shiver of thrill. Here, at last, was an opponent worth my focus.
I matched each of his illusions with precision, dodging the attacks with calculated grace, keeping my mind sharp as I unraveled his tricks. Mind Corruption was of little use against such a foe, so I relied on raw power and timing. The duel was brief, intense, and satisfying. With a final burst of energy, I shattered his last illusion and drove him to the ground, the glint of his crystals fading as his form dissolved into dust. The Sage was defeated—on my first attempt. A small victory, but a sweet one nonetheless.
As the mist settled, I turned my gaze to the distant spires of the Cathedral of the Deep. A new destination, another dark path to tread. With Mind Corruption as my weapon and newfound confidence, I walked forward, eager for the next chapter in my journey. Let the Cathedral wait—I was coming, and chaos would follow in my wake.*
