Eldritch Creature's Guide

After Samiel left the Qririth with Yvriane and Nefertari, they went to a safe distance, from which he planned to carry out the ritual to create Eldritch Spawns. When they were in the safe distance, Samiel singled Yvraine to stop, as he was going to activate the ritual.

This concrete ritual, fortunately, didn\'t require any kind of chant because the chant itself was already engraved in R\'Lyehian on each of the Wardstones, so the only thing which was left to Samiel was to activate the enormous city-sized Magic Circle.

Samiel looked around as he took out a small box-shaped magetech device, which was specifically designed by the Hall of Kadath to cast something which was called "Shroud" on the entire area to prevent anyone from seeing what was happening in there.

He threw the box-shaped magetech device high in the air, stopping approximately several kilometers above the Qririth City and breaking into hundreds of small parts, subsequently creating something akin to a dome around the entire Qririth.

"I am going to start the ritual... this may take some time... also, be on alert in case someone tries to approach the area. If such a thing happens, immediately kill. If it is a large group, inform me and I will summon my Undead Army to do the job."

Samiel instructed Yvraine, who was holding Nefertari in her arms and petting the Elder Wampus Cat, who in turn was greatly enjoying the attention she was receiving as she was napping after eating her fill of snacks.

Then, he looked at the Qririth while he conjured an Ice Trident, just for the sake of more effectively guiding his enormous magical powers into the ritual, as he muttered "Uaaah" which was a word for "start" or "begin" in the Eldritch Speech of R\'Lyehian.

Not even a second later, after Samiel activated the ritual, an enormous purplish-black magic circle appeared high above the Qririth, as it was covering the entirety of the city. The Ritualistic Magic Circle was created through countless words written in the Eldritch Speech of R\'Lyehian as it shone in an ominous light.

Not only that, but it also gave off a very disturbing feeling to anyone who was exposed to the light from The Ritualistic Magic Circle, even Yvraine, who was standing behind Samiel together with Nefertari, looked very uncomfortable while looking at what was happening in the Qririth. Ironically though, this was only a start because nothing had happened, as only now was the ritual adequately beginning.

Samiel as the "ritual master" was controlling the flow of the ritual, with a wave downwards of his Ice Trident, which he was using as means to control the ritual, suddenly a burst of purplish-black light erupted from the enormous Ritualistic Magic Circle and enveloped entire city through and through.

"We will see what will come from it... the population of the Qririth is very high, but at the same time, we are aiming for the Eldritch Spawns with the highest latent talent, not the personal strength during their creation."

He muttered as he observed the ritual, which had fully started. The second the purplish-black light from the Ritualistic Magic Circle fell onto the Qririth, all lifeforms that were living in the city started mutating and literarily dissolving into weird puddles of flesh substance that looked very much disgusting and gross.

It didn\'t matter if the living things in the city were humans, non-humans if there were any, magical beasts or ordinarily animals, everything without exception was instantly melted into a weird abominational way and started concentrating into several huge balls of pure flesh, blood and gore.

Contrary to what one would expect in situations like these, there was no screaming or attempts to escape because the first wave of the purplish-black energy immobilized anyone who would dare so. Thus, due to that act, everyone was basically imprisoned in their own bodies, as they could only helplessly watch as their families, friends, loved ones and even themselves, in the end, were turned into puddles of meat and blood.

It should really be torturous to watch, but that was another purpose of this, and that was to create as much of negative energy, despair and hatred as possible, as all of that would aid the creation of the Eldritch Spawns.

All of this would just aid the creation of the better, stronger and more potent Eldritch Spawns that would be soon birthed to the world. What Samiel aimed for was the creation of the Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath, which were the offspring of one of the main Gods of the Eldritch Pantheon, who stood as a member of the Azathoth\'s Court.

Shub-Niggurath, called The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, is an Outer God and offspring of Darkness, which was the direct offspring of Azathoth. Dark Youngs, which were basically the spawns of the Shub-Niggurath and they were one of the most talented because they could easily reach the Supreme Stage Legendary Level with relatively easy and enough souls, flesh and blood.

​ Not to mention, they had great potential to reach Holiness, and Samiel was instructed to cultivate them if possible. Mainly because he got direct orders from the Hall Master, Menuhyutt Faulhaber to do so.

The Hall of Kadath needed more Holy Legendaries for the future because there were disturbing news; based on what the Hall Master told him, some Elders of the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe were attempting to unify all Demon Tribes within the material plane of Cosmos under the sole banner.

This was a very dangerous motion because unified, the Demons would be stronger than the Hall of Kadath, especially in quantity, because aside from some anomalies, vis: Orks, Swarm and Mind Flyers, they were most numerous. However, the Swarm and Mind Flyers were hardly considered mortal factions because they mainly inhabited the Void, which was not considered a material plane because Transcendents could easily exist there.

Samiel didn\'t know how many Holy Legendaries the Hall of Kadath had, but he was sure it was something above ten. Though from the public information, just the five strongest Demon Tribes and Lineages had more than 20 Holy Legendaries if they banded together.

Of course, now, with the latest schisms between the Golden-Horned Demon Tribe and Star Demon Tribe / Moon Demon Tribe complicated this, but one never knew.

The process was being carried out without much problem; as the magetech device which cast the shroud area and as predicted, the city was without anyone who could disrupt the ritual. Fortunately, nobody would see the reason to come to the Qririth because, in the end, the city wasn\'t much of importance to the Human Brotherhood for now.

So after one hour, all of the flesh, gore and blood condensed itself into several huge cocoons, as Samiel counted seven of them. Each of these meat cocoons was high more than twenty meters, and they looked disgusting, pretty similar to Xenomorph Eggs from the Alien Movies that Samiel watched on Earth.

He needed to wait approximately another 45 minutes until the "eggs" started hatching and the Dark Youngs were being born to the world. Samiel observed how the enormous eggs started shaking and the Eldritch Spanws were finally being born to the world.

Dark Youngs were horrifying, pitch-black monstrosities, seemingly made of ropy tentacles. They stand as tall as a tree on stumpy, hoofed legs. A mass of tentacles protrudes from their trunks where a head would normally be, and puckered maws, dripping green goo, cover their flanks. The monsters roughly resemble trees in silhouette, the trunks being the short legs and the tops of the trees represented by the ropy, branching bodies. The whole mass of these things smells like an open grave.

There were seven of these abominations, and despite their huge size, they were only at the Bronze-Tier Level 35 to Bronze-Tier Level 40, but this was something that Samiel had already expected. The ritual was tweaked in a way where the power of the newly birthed creations would be sacrificed in favor of higher latent talent.

"Interesting... and beautiful..."

Samiel marveled at the Dark Youngs as they were indeed magnificent creatures, especially when they grew up. They were now weak because all of the power with which they would be normally created was all sacrificed for the sake of increasement of their talent as much as possible.

"They are disgusting."

Yvraine sounded her opinion about the Dark Youngs, as Samiel couldn\'t really find any words to refute her, because, in a certain sense, she was indeed right. To the outsiders, the Dark Youngs would look disgusting and gross because they indeed were... they were the spawns of the Outer God, Shub-Niggurath.

"Of course they are... they are the spawns of the Outer Gods, not some sculpture carved in the ateliers of the Silvermoon Capital, my dear."

Samiel bit back sarcastically; as he admired the Dark Youngs, he couldn\'t really await for the moment when they would reach adulthood and how strong they would grow when they reached it.

"We need to move them to a safe location, where they would be transported back to some safe world under the control of the Hall where they could grow."

Samiel stated as he started controlling the Dark Youngs through the magic control seal. Fortunately, because he was essentially an Eldritch Creature and due to the fact that the Dark Youngs were relatively weak and their will wasn\'t that developed, they were easy to control.

"Why can\'t it be just here?"

Yvraine questioned, not really thrilled at the idea that they would be crossing other large distances through the Human Continent. She didn\'t like the concept of walking by herself; she preferred to travel through teleportation or some other means of transportation that she had the privilege of using when she was still in the territories of the Nesser Dynasty.

"Because the ritual disrupted space... creating a Dimensional Portals here would not really be possible within the next hour or so, not to mention, the space around the Qririth will stabilize only in six to eight hours."

Samiel answered why they needed to walk some time to a suitable location to which Bishop Antigonus could open the Dimensional Portal to transport the Dark Youngs away from the 8th Floor of the Tower. Not to mention that soon enough, the Legendaries would notice what is happening right here because the magetech device won\'t be able to hold longer than two more hours.

Afterward, Samiel led the seven Bronze-Tier Dark Youngs that he controlled far away from the ruins of the Qririth or what has remained from the place to a safe destination, which was deep within the mountain range, which had some sort of natural phenomenon around it, so it was impossible to see what was going there even for the Legendary Level Professionals.

When he arrived a the unnamed mountain range, he had a very weird and, at the same time, very uncomfortable feeling from the entire place, a feeling that was telling him to get out of this place as soon as possible, which he certainly would adhere to when he was done with the business.

Controlling the Dark Youngs proved to be very easy for most of the part, because they were nice and obedient. Of course the older they grow, the more resistance they would put up when someone whom they don\'t wish attempts to control them.

Even in the Hall of Kadath, there were only so few people who could safely control the Eldritch Spanws of the Outer Gods. Samiel was aware of only three people who could do it, aside from himself and the Hall Master, from which one of them was one of the Cardinals and two were members of the Inquisition.

When they were deep enough in the mountain range, Samiel opened his Holo-Brain and sent the message to the Bishop Abraham Antigonus, who would come personally to fetch them. Because the shroud was present, he could use the natural Dimensional Pathway that was apparently located somewhere in this place to sneak into the 8th Floor unseen and take the Dark Youngs with him.

After the message was sent, Samiel sat down on the huge rock, which he found comfortable and thus he waited. Together with Yvraine, they started converting on the topic of Magic, because since she started training her Level 3 Ultimate Ability Metamagic, she was more open to discussions about the Magic Theory.

Normally conversations like these would be avoided at all costs, but presently, she was more open to this because she needed to understand the Magic Theory to achieve a perfect usage of all of her Spells and Magic, thus increasing her combat capabilities.

And Samiel was the perfect person to talk with about the Magic Theory; due to having a Level 4 Transcendental Ability Architect, he was able to effortlessly memorize all of the Magic Theory books without missing a single detail.

After half an hour, Samiel felt some slight disturbance in the space around them, as his keen magic senses alerted him that somebody had come here from the Dimensional Pathway, which was not that far from them.

Soon enough, Samiel saw the familiar visage of the Bishop of the Hall of Kadath, Abraham Antigonus, who was wearing the traditional garb of the Bishops of the Hall of Kadath as his wolf ears twitched in the air. Contrary to Sameil\'s joy that he would be finally able to get out of here, Nefertari\'s fur went up together with her tail as she screeched at the wolfman Bishop of the Hall of Kadath.

"Nilgh\'ri ephaisoth ah."

Bishop Abraham Antigonus greeted Samiel in the traditional way in the Eldritch Speech of R\'Lyehian, which meant "Everything will become Void". This was sort of greeting that the members of the Hall of Kadath used to greet each other, and at the same time, it served as means of identifying the allies.

"Ng riuh\'eor l\' soth nogephaii."

To which Samiel greeted in the same fashion, meaning "And everyone will to the Void return". After the greeting, they both returned to using the Cosmos Common because using the Eldritch Speech of R\'Lyehian could be dangerous to the outsiders, as he saw that Yvraine was already getting some headaches.

"Where are they?"

Bishop Antigonus looked at Samiel, who just pointed at the sleeping Dark Youngs who were laying on the ground, for whatever reason, but mostly because Dark Youngs were typically hibernating if they were not moving or causing havoc.
