Elias launched a [Magic Missile], instantly killing the grotesque and repulsive fish.
"Fish don't have four mouths; this clearly isn't a fish, but a monster."
Ignoring the hunter's shocked expression, Elias gazed upstream towards Blackwater Town.
It seemed that the evil force had revived.
Four years ago, the cultists in Blackwater Town worshipped a dark deity known as the "Fertility Mother Goddess," whose powers were related to "life," more specifically, "fertility." The cultists hoped to awaken the Mother Goddess through their rituals, transforming the dense forest into a breeding ground for her offspring.
Blackwater Town was the final checkpoint of the first round. Elias's team had only cleared out the cult and disrupted the ritual, but they hadn't addressed the root issue. The soil for the dark deity's propagation still existed.
