Chapter 318: Small Victory
Above the watchtower, twelve orver magicians in fiery red robes surrounded Xin Suran in the middle.
A golden-red barrier enveloped them, and in the barrier, each mage took out a red cloth and spread it out in front of him. The fully unfolded cloth was a circle with a diameter of three meters, and a magic circle was embroidered with gold thread. The same magic array was spread out under Xin Suran's feet, only three or four times larger than the twelve sides.
With the spell that Xin Suran was chanting in the barrier, a cloud of red light obscured everything in the barrier so that it was impossible to see it at all. The red light became brighter and brighter, so that the person next to him couldn't open his eyes at all. It took a full half hour for the red light to fade. Eventually, it shrank into a fireball of the same size as the one released by a normal fireball technique. If it weren't for the magician who saw the astonishing red light just now, and the magician who was lying on the ground with overdrawn mental power after the red light dissipated, no one would have thought that the extremely ordinary fireball in Xin Suran's hand would be a super magic with the power to destroy the world - the forbidden spell "Doomsday Judgment".
In the past, if he wanted to unleash a forbidden spell of this magnitude without the assistance of Nightmare, Xin Suran would almost instantly get himself out of strength, but now his magic is not only much streamlined in terms of spells, but also can use the auxiliary caster to replace his own consumption. Looking at his confident smile and the posture of slowly holding up the fireball that exuded a destructive aura in his palm, it seemed that such a spell would not cause him too much of a burden.
With a wave of his hand, a brilliant fireball rose into the sky. Although there is no sky in the strict sense of the word in the underworld, at this moment, above the heads of all the warring parties, the entire sky is like a boiling furnace, churning bright red pulp bubbles. In the red light, bursts of golden light often roll out. The golden light rolled in the red light, swirling, and sometimes two golden stars splashed out. But it will be sucked back immediately by the red bubbles. The red clouds around were still rushing towards this place quickly, and the red clouds gradually connected together, stretching out in the sky, as long as ten miles in a radius.
Nigon's army began to stir up, and many of the low-ranking troops were already scattering uncontrollably, and some creatures with flying abilities were fluttering for the air. Unlike them, the soldiers of the Overer were like chickens, and their eyes shot a feverish light, and they began a desperate counterattack, not seeking to destroy the enemy, but only to intercept the enemy who tried to escape as much as possible.
There were also many magicians belonging to the Nigon camp who chanted incantations, trying to neutralize this terrible forbidden spell with magic, but the reason why the forbidden spell is a forbidden spell, this terrible killing weapon from the taboo, can never be easily offset by the number of people. All the magic elements around were dispelled by the huge fire elemental gathering in the sky. Except for fire magic, no other elemental magic can be used under the forbidden spell "Doomsday Judgment".
The clouds rolled violently. Red and gold had blended together, and bubbles of slurry erupted violently from the clouds in several places. As soon as the bubble bulged, it burst open with a rumbling sound. The burst bubble revealed a dazzling golden light. The bubbles in the sky became more and more dense, and the rumbling sounds were connected.
Seeing such a scene, Nigon's army finally could not hold on, including the middle and low-ranking officers, also gave up restraining their subordinates, and the army began a large-scale rout.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of thunder. Dozens of bubbles in the air joined together to form a huge bubble pulp and dripped down from the air. The dark red bubble was wrapped in a flying golden-red flame.
The creatures on the ground spontaneously spread out in all directions, trying to escape as much as possible from where the bubbles were dripping.
But it didn't make sense, and when the bubble hit the ground, there was no loud noise, and there was no shaking. Only the flames of the sky flew up, and in an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the scene of hell.
And the bubble dripped to the ground. The flames spread out in a ring from the landing site, and each drop turned into a large area of fire. In the flames, there was no howl, no mourning. All the warriors who were engulfed in flames immediately turned into a puff of smoke and completely disappeared from the world. The only proof that he ever existed was probably the small pile of ashes left on the ground.
Compared to the heavy losses on the Nigon side, most of the creatures of Ofer are special beings living in the sea of lava, and naturally have a high resistance to fire elemental damage. Although some of the weaker creatures were directly hit by the falling pulp bubbles and turned to ashes, most of the creatures of the Hell were still able to form scattered attack formations and rush back and forth in this flaming purgatory, completely annihilating the discouraged Nigon army.
In this battle, the Ofer side launched four consecutive "Doomsday Judgments", and the 100,000 troops stationed on the Nigon border suffered extremely heavy losses, and when the leading Marshal Terek finally gathered the army, the remaining fighting force was less than 30,000, which were mainly high-level troops, and the middle and low-level soldiers were almost lost.
With a great victory, the army of Ofer marched all the way, breaking through twelve cities of Nigon in three days, and advancing the battle line thousands of kilometers into the interior of Nigon.
Shen Hao met Xin Suran and his party in Dengeum City, the closest to the Valques Pass. Fortunately, Xin Suran's perception magic at this moment is enough to cover the range of a city, otherwise as Shen Hao, a human being, and still riding Nigon's mount, he will be treated as a spy before he enters the city.
"Haha, Shen Manzi, I knew that you were fine, and you actually came to me for the first time instead of your dear fiancée, I was so moved!" Xin Suran gave Shen Hao a hug vigorously, his body was taller than Shen Hao at this time, and he finally didn't have to look up at his old fellow at close range.
"I'm glad to see you're okay." Shen Hao patted Xin Suran's back, took a step back and looked him up and down for a long time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "It seems that you have also broken through the Supreme Realm, otherwise you won't keep your memory, congratulations!" ”
"Hehe, I was just a kick in the door." Xin Suran smiled and said, "When I first entered this nightmare realm, a force forcibly entered my mind in an attempt to block my memory, but as a super magician, mental power is my strong point, so I fought with it for a long time, although I was as tired as a dead dog, but I was actually a blessing in disguise and broke through the last barrier in one fell swoop." ”
Shen Hao was about to ask Mo Chenyan's whereabouts, but saw the door opened, and two generals who were red and full of the characteristics of the higher races of hell walked in. Although his appearance has changed a lot, Shen Hao still recognized it at a glance, and the person who came was the "authentic" Kun Ning and the "humane" Xuan Ning among the three elders of the "Heaven and Earth" of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace.
"I have met two real people, thank you for taking the opportunity to lay this foundation for us. The first credit for this battle is none other than you. Shen Hao respectfully saluted the second elder. It's not that he is pretentious, the three elders have seized control of Ofer and defeated Nigon, which is equivalent to earning a foothold for them rootless duckweed in this strange world, and if they manage it properly, they can use it as a basis to launch a powerful counterattack against the forces controlled by the nightmare.
"No need to be polite, this is the obligation of the old decay." Xuan Ning Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, habitually brushing his beard, "It's a pity that several disciples who followed the old decay into the Nightmare Realm were bewitched by the Nightmare Realm, forgetting their original identities, and some even stood on the opposite side of us, in desperation, we could only temporarily imprison them in the Hellfire." I don't think it can help us in the next steps. ”
"This time, the power of the Nightmare Realm Bewitchment has soared, and it must have something to do with the Nightmare Demon. I've already fought two members of the True Martial Arts in the Krulord camp before, and I've captured one of them alive. They are truly merciless in their dealings with us, no less lightly than the apostles. Shen Hao nodded thoughtfully, those amnesiac Nightmare Hunters were actually able to release Nightmare Energy to fight at will, which made them have to bow down to the supreme-level powerhouses who were bound by their hands, after all, almost more than ninety percent of a Nightmare Hunter's combat power needs Nightmare Energy to support, and in terms of physical strength alone, they can only win or lose with Intermediate Nightmare at most, "However, according to our estimates, the ethereal Zen method of Zen Master Zhan Lin may have a solution to this kind of spiritual level bewitchment, and now Pope Robben and his party have gone to Avili, if it goes well." , and when they meet, they will go to the Underworld through the nearest underground passage to join us. ”
"That's good news." Kunning Zhenren and Xuning Zhenren glanced at each other, and their faces were a little more happy. Xin Suran next to him also interjected: "The underground world is very large, in order to receive them, we must speed up the annexation of Nigon, only by unifying the forces of the underground world first, can we take the initiative in the next step of counterattacking the upper world." ”
Several people present nodded one after another, but Xin Suran's face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "But we can't be too careless, the reason why I chose to flee instead of simply following the three real people to carry out a coup d'état is because I felt a faint and powerful aura in Nok Khan, the capital of Nigon, if I guess correctly, there should be a Demon King behind Nigon, but I don't know if it will be the Lust who can use the rules of the Nightmare Realm to confuse people......"
"As long as we take care not to be exposed, the Demon King won't show up easily." Shen Hao touched his chin and said, "We have enough manpower now, as long as we successfully attack Nok Khan and lock the space to force it to fight, our chances of winning are at least eighty percent." If this Nightmare Demon King is Lust, then we can kill it and restore everyone's memories. Even if it weren't for it, prioritizing the killing of a Nightmare Demon King would be a big help for our future actions. ”
Everyone said yes, sat down and discussed the details, and when the lights came on, a few people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in the City Lord's Mansion under the greeting of the two elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace.
Under Xin Suran's telling, Shen Hao knew that Mo Chenyan had also lost her past memories, her identity at this time was the princess of Nigon, Xin Suran had no way to persuade her to follow her and defect, so she could only use violent means to hold her hostage, and at this time he was also sealed in Hell with magic, although the environment was bad, but there would be no danger at present.
"By the way, what's the matter with that dark elf girl you kidnapped earlier?" Xin Suran suddenly asked.
