Chapter 299 The Rumors Are Blowing
A small portal opens in front of Feige, and it seems that the Hell King's teleportation trap has been removed, marking the end of the hunt, and Feige is free to use the teleportation spell to operate. He could go back through the portal, but this time only a letter written on parchment.
"Plans have changed, I need to stay in hell for a few more days, and five days later noon will call me. β
On the opposite side of the teleportation is the "Cat House" of Shaki Manor, which is the place where the midnight day rests. It sleeps long every day, waking up to find the note and hand it to Shani. After completing the teleportation to the Yongli Continent, Fei Qi opened the portal to the fire elemental plane and the layers of hell in the same location, adding up to about fourteen locations. As a result, the space of this place was carried out by teleportation channels, and no one could know the target of Feiqi's first teleportation.
After meeting Asmodeirs, he decided to be more careful. The devil can't be trusted, and the Styx shipping isn't necessarily safe - they can sell the intelligence they trade with for more money.
Feige sat down on the iceberg of the eighth layer of Hell, and he had to think about his next move. Originally, I came to Hell this time to take the lead with Styx Shipping, to see if it was appropriate to buy elemental gems from it, or to know where to get fire elemental gems cheaply in the Inferno or the fire elemental plane, and even to buy a copy of the "Elemental Gem Charging Method".
But now is clearly not a good time to summon the Styx Shipping, at least not so highly. Feige summed up a conclusion from Asmodeirs' words: potential is one thing, and while it is important, it is far less than strength. Only by turning potential into strength can you be guaranteed in hell.
"I have to be a high-level devil who can better understand hell, and that knowledge will be very important, and it will also give me more room to maneuver. "It's the only way Feige can think of to break the game. He already has the will to become a high-level hell, and the rest depends on how much divine power he has saved. The divine power that came through the Horn Heavenly Envoy had been nourishing and changing the properties of the crystal clusters, and nearly half of them had been transformed before coming to Hell. If you don't pursue the highest-level devils like the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon or the Heart Turning Demon, it should be enough to become an Ice Demon. I just don't know what will happen after introducing the old man's divine power.
Feige opened the pouch to inspect the crystal clusters, then his eyes widened. The three crystals all turned blue, which indicates that they have completed their transformation?! This speed is somewhat beyond Feiqi's expectations, and it may be very high in terms of total amount and strength with the divine power released by the old man, and the transformation efficiency is far better than the divine power stored by an angel.
"At that time, those forces did not have masters, so they were easier to manipulate, so that the effect of the ritual was also enhanced. Fei Qi stroked the three crystal clusters with his hand, feeling the surging divine power inside. He estimated that if he could still use the six-winged form, and then absorb this energy, he would definitely be able to exert the power of the true Blazing Sky Divine Servant for a period of time. In other words, he can begin the ritual of preparing the Painted Leather Book.
"The ritual materials are all there, the only thing missing is the blood pool, it must be a large enough and fresh enough blood pool, and the first layer is now at war, it shouldn't be difficult to find. Feige thought it down......
The effect of the Demon Piercing Light Killing Cannon is very good, and this time the Devil should be able to achieve a brilliant victory, which also means that the next attack cycle of the demons will come later than usual. If the threat of Zariel's comeback is taken into account, the further back it drags on, the harder it will be to find timing.
However, the blood pool is indispensable in rituals, and this thing will only appear "naturally" on the battlefield of bloody battles. Feige considered other methods, such as learning from Kurdan and hiring a spellcaster from the devil to create pools of blood. But the cost is too high, and there are many people, and no one knows which devil will stab him in the back. In comparison, it is still a pool of blood on the battlefield that has more practical operational value.
Once you've made up your mind, you need to think about a plan of action, and it's better to think than to do well. I don't know if it's really the devil watching, or if it's just the fear from Asmodeirs that is causing the illusion, Feige must have a way to get rid of the tracking. He frowned and pondered for a while, and finally thought of it.
The eighth level of Hell is full of frozen peaks, and there's one underneath Feige's ass. He turned, used his magic to create a high heat, melted the iceberg to form a channel, and headed inside. The icy water flowed like a stream beneath his feet, and the floor of the passage was slippery, narrower and narrower the further he went. Feige swung the Pit Excalibur, slashing down the ice and sending them out with his wings and feet, barely going deeper.
The water flowed outward, freezing on the ice, and the passage behind Feige became narrower and narrower. When the ice accumulates into a dike, it will no longer flow outward, and the passage will inevitably be sealed - this is what Feige wants. He dug through the ice until it was completely devoid of light except for the fireball in his hand. He can't see the outside, and he can't see the outside.
"Alright, the next time is precious. Fei Qi put away the flames, and a cold core completely sealed the passage. Subsequently, the divine thunder raged in the cavern of this iceberg, and the walls were full of scars and cracks, and began to become unstable.
"If there's still surveillance, then I'll admit itβI can't be suspicious forever. Asmodeirs, though strong, is not omnipotent. Feige took a deep breath and waved his cat-teasing stick to cast a teleportation spell. With a violent flash of light, Feige vanished from the inside of the iceberg, and the cavity collapsed in a jolt.
Feige jumped three places in a row before finally returning to the first level of Hell, Aphnanas.
There is no hustle and bustle of the Blood Dealers' Bazaar, a moment of silence left by the devils being called into battle. Feige cast invisibility against the devil, and then walked towards the front line as well. He passed the pile of corpses, avoiding the bad demons who were working here, and walked among the barbed demons, past the bone demons and the ice demons. No devil could find him.
After going around the ninth layer of hell, the battle on the first layer still hasn't been decided. The devil used the Demon Penetration Light Killing Cannon to take the initiative, consuming a large amount of the demon's mid-level main combat power, and forcing out the strongest combat power among the demons in advance. At this time, the effect of the Demon Penetration Light Killing Cannon was much weaker, and it could only be used to clean up the low-level and middle-level demons that were still on the ground.
The gap in rank was insurmountable, but the Devil's mid-tier main combat power had been greatly preserved, and they had begun to advance towards the core of the demon's camp under the cover of artillery fire. Even if the heavenly high-ranking people are defeated, this victory will belong to the devil. High-level demons who are unwilling to fail will take the time to surprise the mid-level demons, taking advantage of the difference in strength to inflict damage, which has become the biggest danger on the battlefield.
Fei Qi carried the Pit Excalibur and prepared for full defense. Since the form of the Six White Wings was killed, Feige couldn't make invisibility to both the Devil and the Demon until it recovered, so he had to choose one side or the other. Now that the devil has the advantage on the battlefield, it is naturally more beneficial to the devil's stealth. There aren't many demons left on the ground, and once discovered, they don't need to be dealt with by Feige, and the devils and mercenaries who want credit will deal with them.
Blood pools have begun to form, and the more corpses there are, the more blood pools will be, and the larger they will be. There is always a lot of blood pools in a bloody battle, and it is said that this is the result of the collision of the two essences of the devil's order and the demon's chaos. Since chaos and order are one of the most important foundations of the entire universe, the blood pool contains the power of change and creation.
The blood pool can be used to perform many spell rituals, or it can be used simply to cultivate soul maggots, and it is very versatile. However, the pool of blood does not last long, and it is in a state of gradual disappearance. Any attempt to preserve the pool of blood is futile, so the devil can both value and care less about the pool. If there is a devil who wants to use the blood pool, then compare the ranks of the two sides, and the weaker side will choose to wait or leave. Anyway, there are so many blood pools on the battlefield, and there will be another battle next time, so there is no need to fight for bloodshed.
Feige walked across the battlefield, stabbing the Pit Excalibur into the body of the demon trying to sneak up on him, searching for suitable pools of blood - he found dozens of them, all of which were not ideal. It is said that the more tragic the battlefield, the larger the size of the blood pool, but the Demon Penetration Light Killing Cannon has created too many ice sculptures, and the number of deaths has increased, and the degree of corpse tragedy has decreased. This is a good thing for the bad demons who need to collect soul maggots, but with the reduction of the blood pool, Feige is also quite helpless.
"Wait, where there are more bad demons, the corpses are relatively more complete, so why don't I find places with fewer bad demons?" Fei Qi patted his head, and the efficiency of the search was immediately improved.
After all, not all the devils who bought the Demon Penetrating Light Killing Cannon, on one front, the devils in charge of several directions did not have cannons, so the battle was as fierce as usual. Feige found three medium-sized pools of blood not far apart, near a shallow depression. He made a slight gesture to make the pool of blood converge in the same place, and thus formed a large pool of blood the size of a basketball court.
"Enough. Feiqi immediately began to prepare for the ritual, placing the rune board with the rune runes of the Hell spell engraved in advance around the blood pool. Doing so will allow you to quickly form a ritual circle and save valuable time. And this kind of ritual preparation does not cause much movement, let alone attract attention.
After adjusting the position of the ritual rune board with his mind transfer, Feiqi changed his invisibility method. "Be invisible to demons. Feige stood in the pool of blood in the form of twin black wings, the viscous blood at his waist. Because he fears that he may take revenge for destroying the plans of other high-ranking demons, the devil usually does not disturb another demon who is performing a ritual in the blood pool, and sometimes for the overall benefit of hell, but also for the sake of gratitude and reward later, the devil will also help the fellow of the ritual to kill nearby demons. That's why Feige chose to be invisible to the demons.
"In the name of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell and Lord of the Devil, the Skin-Painting Ritual has begun!" Feiqi shot his mana at the rune plates, connecting them in series, and a complex devil's pentagram gradually formed, its bright yellow lines floating above the pool of blood. After that, the rune boards have completed their mission, and the next step is for Feiqi to control the entire ritual circle.
Dozens of sacrifices, such as spirit coins, soul maggots, sulfur, and elemental gems, were thrown into the blood pool, and the energy formed by combining them with the blood pool was absorbed into the ritual by spells. Pit swords, cat teasing sticks, and everything else that doesn't want to be sacrificed are to be thrown onto the shore next to the pool of blood, covered with illusion and protected. Feige unleashed a powerful evil aura that completely filled the pentagram, connecting the energy of the ritual with his own soul.
Then, Feige pulled out a severed finger. This was the one he got in the War Knight's Collection, a half-lich finger. The Skin Painting Ritual requires at least a part of the target devil's body to be obtained, and it doesn't matter if it's fresh or not, Hell Favor will make up for it anyway. Fitch grabbed the severed finger in his left hand and submerged it in a pool of blood, and a series of boiling bubbles began to form.
With a final step, the crystal clusters were taken out, thrown into the pool of blood, and the ritual was performed with all its might! The entire pool boiled, and the tumbling water took on a variety of shapes, such as writhing broken arms, faces howling in pain, and entangled and struggling bodies. The pentagram began to shrink, as the evil aura gathered more and more, and the blood began to climb upside down on Feiqi's body.
All the elements of the ritual were in place, and Feiqi's mana and spell control worked perfectly, and everything went smoothly. He took the initiative to crouch down and submerge into the pool of blood, so that the power of transformation could start working faster. The pentagram grew smaller and smaller, and at last it was only a meter in diameter, floating faintly on the surface of the water.
The pool of blood began to disappear rapidly, as if it had been absorbed by Feige. At the same time, the divine power in the crystal crystal cluster was also quickly extracted, and along with the evil aura, it burrowed into Feiqi's soul, and a strange humanoid devil was slowly taking shape.
Feige was drenched in blood, and could only hold his breath to control the ritual. With the physical fitness of the Lust Demon, it wasn't too difficult, but he suddenly found that the only remaining difficulty was gone. When he opened his eyes, he found that his body was gradually disappearing, his skin and internal organs dissolved in blood, and only a bare skeleton remained. However, he did not feel any pain, and it seemed that his body was still functioning. The flow and temperature of the surrounding liquid, the sound of the incantation, the smell of the blood are all the same as before, and more importantly, the magic and the magic seal are also there, and it seems that after leaving the body, these are all realized by the soul.
He reached out to touch his eyeballs, only to find that his neck bone was gone, and his skull was suspended above his shoulder bone and chest. At the same time, the part below his pelvis also disappears, and he becomes a fully flying creature. The only thing that is growing in the whole body is the phalanges, which have become thin and long, like curved probes - how can you make a fist after this?
The phalanges used as sacrifices are gone, and the ritual enters its final part. The Hellish Favor in the Evil Aura conjured up a heavy metal armor for Feige, covering and wrapping around the skeleton and becoming a part of this body. The armor is covered in spikes, arching upwards like petals to guard the suspended skull, and downwards to form a structure like shark's teeth. The belt of the armor turned into Feige's pelvis, and the blood formed two red skull legs, giving him the feeling of being upright again. Five long strips of cloth make up the lower half of the robe, which completely covers the legs, and drags all the way to the ground, forming spikes that curl upwards at the ends.
The new form is complete.
