Returning from duty, a chapter is presented. Starting

Krion never thought of going head-to-head with the ** division tower, although the demons have always considered themselves to be the most noble and powerful race in this universe, that doesn't mean that they will be stupid enough to fight a group of mages alone, including several ** divisions or even higher-level existences. As he had promised Philon, he would only keep those mages from leaving the Mage Tower for two hours.

It may sound as difficult as a face-to-face battle with a mage, but for a demon who is proficient in illusion, poison, and space magic, it is not that difficult with enough preparation.

The Great Demon retracted the aura from the Demon Realm that was always emitted on his body, sneaking freely underground like a fish in the water, and drilled out of the ground before touching the cordon on the periphery of the ** Division Tower, less than two meters in front of him, the invisible barrier that separated the Mage Tower from the outside world, and the invisible barrier that Rhaegar and the others had passed through stood quietly as usual, faithfully performing their duties.

This magic barrier is actually not very powerful, after all, if you want to set up a powerful barrier covering an area of more than ten square kilometers, it is difficult for even the ** Division Tower to afford such a consumption. In fact, its role is more to declare boundaries and guard, and if someone trespasses the barrier, the mages in the mage tower will be the first to sense, but at this moment, the barrier has become an excellent medium for Krien to use his methods.

Reciting a spell softly, a small black hole silently appeared in front of Krion, and immediately, countless small black dots flew out of the black hole and quickly gathered around the demon.

"My children," Crien murmured in a low voice, gazing with an almost doting gaze at the black dots that were gathering around him, "I'm glad to see you again, and now, go and fulfill your father's wish." ”

The black dots that seemed to have a spirit suddenly stopped gathering towards the demons and began to expand instead. They divided into several strands centered on Krien, and like a huge octopus with its tentacles stretched out, they surrounded the outer barrier of the ** division tower from different directions, and in an instant, the vast space, including the tower, was shrouded in darkness.

Of course, this drastic change could not be hidden from the mages in charge of defense, they sounded the alarm, and at the same time quickly activated the defense device of the mage tower, and more than a dozen bright lights shot from different parts of the tower body to those black spots in half a second. Starting

The bright light that could damage the dragon didn't have any effect on the black dots, and these almost negligible beings still held the perimeter of the magical barrier without even the slightest change.

Creon laughed insolently, mocking the incompetence of his opponents, wisps of black smoke billowing out of the ground in laughter, converging with the black dots that surrounded the magical barrier. Then, he began to chant the incantation aloud, and one after another spatial doors opened in the air around the mage tower, and a terrifying roar and roar came from inside, it was the roar of the demonic beasts from the lower realms, and in just this short moment, he opened at least a hundred passages to different spaces.

"How's that going out there?" a senior deacon in charge of the security of the Mage Tower hurriedly walked into the room in charge of controlling the defense system and asked his men, "What is that?"

"I don't know," a mage stared nervously at the crystal ball in front of him, where nothing could be seen but darkness, "and they popped up all of a sudden, and weren't afraid of the magic cannon. According to our detections, there is a thick poisonous fog around these things, the total volume of which is at least dozens of mage towers, and counting, and at the same time, at least hundreds of powerful creatures from the lower realms inhabit these poisonous fogs, and any one of them is enough to flatten the entire Miracle Capital. ”

"Could it be that the demons are going to attack us?" the High Deacon gasped and hurriedly sent a notice to the rest of the Deacons Council, and a few seconds later, with the help of a special teleportation device in the tower, all the High Deacons and their Archdeacon appeared in the same room.

"The situation looks bad," said Tenth Order Mage Garland, one of the senior deacons of the ** Division Tower, with a grim expression, "There is no doubt that we are facing an unprecedented challenge - we don't even know how many enemies there are outside, and I suggest that the final defense be activated immediately." ”

Among the seven members of the Deacon Council, there are four tenth-order mages including Archdeacon Crane and Carson, and the remaining three are at the peak of the ninth-order, in addition, there are at least twenty existences above the ** division level and about six hundred high-level mages in the entire mage tower. Such strength is equivalent to three times that of the Storm God, and their full force attack is enough to turn St. Endosus into a wasteland, but in the face of a sudden, unknown strength of the enemy, almost all mages at the top of the hierarchy first think of defense. It's not that they lack the courage to attack, these high-level mages can clearly feel the powerful energy fluctuations coming from outside, and the owner of each of them has the strength of no less than a ninth-order mage, some of them have even reached the tenth order, launching an attack in front of so many powerful existences is purely suicidal, not to mention, the outside environment is undoubtedly more favorable to those enemies- The black dots obviously disable spell attacks, and the poisonous mist forced mages to devote considerable energy to fighting against the poison.

"That would be a huge drain of the mage's tower," another deacon objected, "these energies are invaluable even to us, and besides, they are related—" He glanced alertly at the busy mages in the room, and didn't continue, but all the senior deacons understood what he meant.

"Where's the master?" the third senior deacon asked his colleague, "only he can deal with those enemies outside." ”

"I've sent out a call for help," Klein said, "but he needs time to get back, and until he comes back, we have to hold on." ”

His gaze swept over his colleagues, and everyone understood what he meant. Without using the ultimate defense, there is only one way to keep the tower alive from the attacks of those terrible enemies until the return of its master - by all the members of the Deacons Council joining forces, with the help of the special construction of the mage tower itself, to form the strongest barrier.

"Inform all the members above the ** division to assemble at the top of the Mage Tower. After receiving everyone's consent, the archdeacon finally gave the order, "This will be at stake for the safety of all of us." ”

"Why don't they attack?" In the hall at the top of the Mage Tower, after listening to Crane's speech, Rhaegar suddenly said, "That barrier can't stop them at all. Why are they waiting until now?"

This question stunned everyone for a moment, and these wise mages couldn't help but feel nervous in front of a powerful enemy, and then ignored this rather important question.

"Maybe they think the owner is still in the tower, so they're waiting for the right moment. A ** teacher said.

"The demonic beasts of the lower realms are not a group of organized creatures," Rhaegar continued, "they are quite impatient, and even if there is any existence that can restrain them with coercion, I don't think that such a powerful being will not be able to sense the situation of the mage tower - the difference between having a master in charge and relying only on someone else to initiate a defense can be felt by a ninth-order mage, and in the current situation, there is absolutely no reason why we should not go all out." ”

"Say what you think," Klein's eyes swept over Carson, seeing that he didn't say anything to his only student, "let's hear what you're up to." ”

"We need to know the details of the enemy," Rhaegar said, "even if two countries are at war, we need enough information, and we should send people out to find out what the opponent is doing." ”

This took all the mages by surprise, but Rhaegar was even more shocked by what he said, "This is undoubtedly a dangerous task, as the proposer, I request that I be sent outside, and in order to ensure that the transmission of the message is not disturbed, I am asked to be given a messenger crystal. ”

Even in a place like the ** Master Tower, the messenger crystal is also an extremely precious item, different from the crystal ball and communication gem that are commonly used by mages, which can only be used at short distances, as long as they are in the same space, this crystal can clearly and faithfully transmit the information and picture that the mages want to transmit back to the location of the other crystal that is paired with it.

However, for an operation that is no less dangerous than taking a treasure from a dragon's mouth, such an item is obviously not excessive.

"I agree with his plan," Carson said something that surprised everyone, but then his next sentence caused an uproar among the crowd even more, "As a guarantee of this plan, I will go out with him as his companion." ”

"You shouldn't have come out," Rhaegar said to his mentor as he walked out of the Mage Tower, "once it has been confirmed that the enemy is indeed powerful, your power will play a greater role in it." ”

"The chances of survival of a tenth-order ** master are undoubtedly greater than that of an eighth-order mage," Carson still looked calm, as if he hadn't heard Rhaeggar's words, "The Messenger Crystal is not omnipotent, once it is destroyed, someone needs to bring the news from the outside back to the Mage Tower." ”
