Chapter 987: War Totem Pole
However, they have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, the shield demons of the same race, the magic runes on the back armor will produce a kind of resonance, superimposing the power of the defensive force field, legend, hundreds of fifteen-level shield demons, after the defense force field is superimposed, the attacks below the level of the holy domain cannot be shaken, if it reaches a thousand, even the strong people of the holy domain have no way to take them. No one knows the origin of this magical rune, not even the master of the inscription can copy it, and perhaps it can only be called a miracle of nature.
It is with this magical magic rune that the traces of the Abyss Shield Demon can be said to be all over every corner of the Endless Abyss, and it is said that the largest group of Abyss Shield Demons lives in the deepest part of the Endless Abyss, a place where even the gods dare not set foot in it.
The two major families of the Mithril Alliance have summoned more than eighty abyssal shield demons, but unfortunately these more than eighty abyss shield demons are not from the same race, but from three races, after all, no matter how powerful the spell that summons demons, there is no way for people to choose the summoned demons so accurately. However, there are thousands of shield demon clans in the entire Endless Abyss, and these more than eighty abyss shield demons can be concentrated in three ethnic groups, which is already a great luck collision between the two major families.
In this way, more than forty claw demons, more than forty blood flame winged snakes, and more than eighty abyss shield demons formed the demon legion of the Mithril Alliance. With the strength of this demon legion, the overall strength of the Mithril Alliance has also increased a lot, and it barely has the capital to fight the bone dragon.
Of course, even if this is the case, it does not mean that the Mithril Alliance can really compete with the bone dragons, it can only be said that they can barely support the crazy attacks of the bone dragons. After all, the bone dragons they faced all had legendary level and powerful strength, and those summoned abyss demons were only seventeen or eighteen at most, and if there was no such thing as a magic net magic array, the gap in strength would indeed be difficult to make up for by quantity.
The only thing is that, compared to the human warriors, these abyssal demons are worthy of surviving in such a harsh environment as the Endless Abyss, even in the face of the powerful bone dragon, they do not have a trace of fear, but they are aroused to ferocity, and they are all extremely fierce.
Those clawed demons, although taller than ordinary humans, still looked a little small compared to the huge body of the bone dragon. However, they didn't care at all, waving their sickle-like claws, and surrounded the bone dragon in the middle with great bravery, and some even hugged it directly on the leg bones of the bone dragon, as if grinding some bone chips from above.
And those blood-flame winged snakes turned into blood-colored lightning, using their bodies as whips, constantly whipping on the bones of the bone dragon, making a continuous "horn" crisp sound, every time they passed by the bone dragon, they could bring a piece of bone chips from the bones of the bone dragon.
It's just that the other weapon of the Bloodflame Winged Serpent spews blood flames, which has no effect on the bone dragon. If you want to make the bones of the bone dragon decay quickly, I'm afraid that even the snake king in the Blood Flame Winged Serpent can't do it, let alone these little worms who are only fifteen or sixteen levels.
As for the more than eighty Abyssal Shield Demons, if they were from the same race, maybe the people of the Mithril Alliance would not be in any danger as long as they hid in the defensive force field and let the bone dragons bombard indiscriminately outside. Unfortunately, they came from three different races, and although the defensive power fields of twenty or thirty abyssal shield demons were superimposed, they also had quite amazing defensive power, but they could only support a few attacks from the bone dragon. The interval between the recovery of the defense field has become the most difficult period for the Mithril Alliance, during which casualties are inevitable, or the warriors of the Mithril Alliance, or the summoned Abyss Demons, compared to the Bone Dragon, they are still too fragile after all.
Not far from the Mithril Alliance, it is the team of the Caesar family, the Caesar family was originally among the four teams, and it should be considered weak, but it can be independent from the Mithril Alliance, and it has developed to have an equal status with it, and it can't do this without some ability.
When the Mithril Alliance summoned the Abyss Demon Legion, the people of the Caesar family were not idle, and after Klaus left with the family elders, several high-ranking people left behind by the Caesar family immediately began to prepare to face the bone dragon. From the moment they entered the mausoleum, they each carried a somewhat thick fur bag behind them, which they had never opened even when facing the Whispering God, and no one knew what it contained except themselves.
At this time, the animal skin bag was finally opened, revealing what it contained, which turned out to be wooden sticks of uniform length and thickness and bright color. Each stick is almost a meter long, the thickness of a man's wrist, and is carved with intricate patterns on it, and it is all depicted in various colors.
The Caesar family took out twenty of these sticks, and then began to stick them into the ground one by one in the ranks according to some peculiar law. Then, the magicians of Caesar's family chanted strange incantations in unison, more like a prayer than a incantation.
With the chanting of the magicians, pillars of light suddenly shot down from the void above the Caesar family's ranks, and landed accurately on the wooden sticks inserted in the ground. And those sticks were like trees that had been spawned, growing rapidly, thickening and lengthening, and soon changed from wrist-thick sticks to pillars that were nearly ten meters high.
At this time, the patterns carved on the pillars also became clear, and well-informed people recognized them at a glance, and these pillars turned out to be war totem poles used by the shamans of the orc clan.
There are no mages among the orcs, but the orc shamans possess magical powers that are not inferior to magic. They believe in the beast god and pray to the beast god to give them magical powers, and making a war totem pole is the most important ability they have acquired. Every shaman starts making his own war totem pole from the moment he obtains the power bestowed by the beast god, and it often takes ten years to complete a war totem pole.
Of course, the power of the war totem pole is definitely worth the shaman's great energy, each war totem pole embodies the shaman's understanding of the power given by the beast god, and contains a very powerful and wonderful power. In the understanding of magicians, it is equivalent to solidifying a powerful magic on the totem pole, although it must actually be a little more complicated than this explanation.
Every time an orc shaman makes a war totem pole, his own strength will also have a great leap, so the number of totem poles is also closely related to the strength of the orc shaman. A shaman with ten war totem poles is already equivalent to a legendary powerhouse in his own strength, and after summoning ten totem poles, his strength will be greatly improved.
It is said that in the current orc kingdom, the sanctuary-level shaman Ucannes, who once led the orcs to resist the rule of the High Elves, has hundreds of war totem poles. During the war at the end of the Dark Ages, he even used the power he gained by summoning all the war totem poles to wreak havoc on a city in the sky that claims to never fall.
In the history of the Anriel Continent, the war totem pole left a deep impression on people or the large-scale wars between the orcs and the human kingdom after the end of the Dark Ages. Under the influence of the war totem pole, the strength of the orc warriors can increase by five to ten times even in a short period of time. Whenever the shadow of a war totem pole appears on the battlefield, it means that the outcome of this confrontation will be extremely painful for the human army, regardless of whether it is won or lost.
However, orc shamans often have a status not inferior to that of tribal chiefs in their own tribes, and they generally do not easily leave their tribes unless it is a war of mobilization of the whole tribe. There are no orc shamans in Caesar's family, and these war totem poles are also a bit old-fashioned, presumably from the collection of the ruins of some High Elf. It is precisely because of this that they will keep the war totem poles in their animal skin pockets, and if there is a real orc shaman, they can completely store these in their own special space.
At the same time as the totem poles of war lit up one by one, in the team of the Caesar family, whether it was a warrior or a magician, several superimposed halos appeared under everyone's feet, which looked extremely dazzling. Courage, exhilaration, strengthening, great strength, blood, self-healing, etc., each aura has a different effect, and after superimposing, the strength of the Caesar family members directly skyrocketed several times.
And this, in fact, has not even exerted half of the power of the war totem poles, if it is in the hands of a real orc shaman, these twenty war totem poles are erected, I am afraid that as long as the frost dragon Sindra does not come down, there is full certainty to ensure the safety of the Caesar family's team.
However, even with half the power of the War Totem Pole, the Caesar family's team can now compete with the Bone Dragon to a certain extent. Moreover, compared to the Mithril Alliance, which summoned the Abyss Demon Legion, the Caesar family is in a better situation.
The Mithril Alliance has become a bit chaotic due to the addition of the Demon Legion, which is one of the reasons why they continue to suffer casualties. And the power of the War Totem Pole has only greatly increased the strength of everyone in the Caesar family, which allows them to continue to use their familiar battle formations, and the casualties on this side are much smaller in comparison.
It's just that whether it is the Tower of Dusk and the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, which are comfortable with it, or the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, who are struggling to support it, everyone knows that the current stalemate is actually very unfavorable for the side of the exploration team. The teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family are constantly suffering casualties, don't think that this has nothing to do with the Tower of Dusk and the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce, if those two teams are destroyed by the Bone Dragon, in the face of greater pressure, will the teams of the Tower of Twilight and the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce still be safe and sound?
In fact, there is no need to wait for things to develop to that point, maybe the situation has deteriorated to the point where it cannot be cleaned up. The high-level members of the four teams had already vaguely felt that although the Bone Dragon's attack was fierce, it was because they were very strong in their own right, and in fact, this level of attack was probably just a test for them.
This may be a bit unthinkable for these skeletal dragons who only have fighting instincts, but don't forget that in the sky, there is also a powerful Sanctuary-level Frost Dragon. No matter what the origin of that frost dragon is, since he can become the leader of the Bone Dragon Legion, the remaining instinct must be a tactical instinct.
In this case, the teams of the four major forces want to grind down these hundreds of bone dragons step by step, which can obviously only be wishful thinking. For now, they can only hope that the legendary powerhouses who are fighting the frost dragon in the sky can emerge victorious before the Exploration team's defense collapses.
But...... In the sky, many legendary powerhouses also knew in their hearts that it was impossible to expect the team below to destroy the Bone Dragon Legion in advance. The key to surviving this current crisis is to find a way to defeat this frost dragon, otherwise there will only be a group of annihilation. However, thinking about the crux of the crisis does not mean that we have the ability to solve it, because the gap in strength is too great.
Yes, the gap is too big, although on the side of the exploration team, there are nearly twenty legendary powerhouses, and all of them are above level twenty-two, and there are even top powerhouses of level twenty-four such as Lin Li. However, it has been proven that this kind of power is not enough to fight against the frost dragon Sindra.
In fact, from the time when everyone flew into the sky to face the frost dragon Sindra, until now, the attacks of the real crowd have been pitiful, and they have been almost completely suppressed by Sindra's power, not so much to fight as to be beaten up. What they can do is to keep defending, keep dodging, and if they are not careful, they will be in danger of falling.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, it felt as if a century had passed, when in reality it was not even ten minutes at all. It's just that every second of them is extremely difficult, and every second is struggling with all their strength between life and death, and no one knows if they will be alive in the next second.
The legendary powerhouses who originally planned to besiege the Frost Dragon were no longer scattered in all directions as they had at the beginning, but gathered together, hoping to survive the Frost Dragon's attack with their combined strength. It's just that everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a matter of surviving, even if the defense does not collapse under the attack of the frost dragon, then when the hundreds of bone dragons below come back, it is still impossible to avoid the fate of destruction.
Only Conneris, who has a perfect body, and Lin Li, who holds the Holy Light of the Star Fragment, these two powerhouses at the peak of the legend, can occasionally make some counterattacks against the frost dragon Sindra. It's just that their counterattacks can play a very small role, and they only make everyone feel deeply disappointed, and the more disappointed they are, they will become desperate.
However, no matter whether others were disappointed or desperate, Lin Li never gave up looking for opportunities. Even if the other party is an existence like Yanlong Salo, isn't he still dead, as long as he is not dead, he can't give up easily. Although it has not been a few years since he came to the world of Anruiel, Lin Li has not encountered many things in his life, even more than those old men who have lived for hundreds of years. Why Lin Li has been able to get to this point, strength is certainly one aspect, but the belief in not giving up no matter what the situation has to say also plays a great role.
With the power of the spatial robe, Lin Li's figure flickered in the sky, dodging the deadly powerful magic cast by the frost dragon, and seizing the fleeting opportunity, he suddenly raised the Sun King's scepter in his hand. Although there was no enhancement in the magic realm, with the power of holy light and darkness, Lin Li was still able to condense the light and darkness giant sword in an instant, as if cutting through the sky, slashing towards the frost dragon Sindra.
The Holy Light Ruling did not play a role in purification, and among the attack methods that Lin Li mastered, the most powerful was still this Light and Darkness Giant Sword. Although the Dark Sword was wiped out halfway through the slash, and although the Dark Sword could not break through the hard ice armor even if it slashed at the Frost Dragon, Lin Li still continued to use it with undying determination.
Although in addition to the Holy Light and Darkness, Lin Li still has five powerful star fragments, but unfortunately, in terms of mastering those five star fragments, they are still far inferior to the Holy Light and Darkness. Lin Li knew very well in his heart that after all, he was only at the peak of the legend, and he didn't have the wrath of the stars in his hands, so he couldn't rely on the other five unfamiliar star fragments to fight a powerful existence like the frost dragon Sindra.
In fact, the attack of the Light and Dark Giant Sword was not without effect, at least Lin Li could faintly feel that when his Light and Dark Giant Sword slashed down towards the Frost Dragon Sindra, the magic strength of the other party seemed to be reduced. In fact, it is precisely because of this that other legendary powerhouses have been able to hold on until now, otherwise with the strength of the Frost Dragon, those legendary powerhouses will probably fall one by one.
However, from another direction, those legendary powerhouses who are fully defending themselves can be said to have shared a certain amount of pressure for Lin Li to a certain extent. If they all fell one by one, then in the face of the full power of the frost dragon Sindra, Lin Li's ending would not be happy either.
Could it be that the other party also has an instinctive fear of the attack of the light and dark giant sword? As soon as this idea arose in Lin Li's heart, he immediately felt that it was really a bit absurd, after all, the other party was an ancient dragon of the same level as Yan Long Salo, and it should be said that he was also a half-step god-like existence, how could he be afraid of such an attack. However, if not, then how can such a phenomenon be explained, could it be that the frost dragon, which has lost its self-awareness, still has the mind to play cat and mouse?
In addition to Lin Li, among the many legendary powerhouses, in the face of the crushing of the frost dragon, the only one who still has some resistance is Conneris who has a perfect body.
Although, according to the Ash Warlock, the perfect body made by the Great Lord Osric is still far from perfect, let alone compared to any divine body. However, I have to admit that this perfect body is indeed not inferior to the Dragon Titan in all aspects.
After being trapped in the hammer for thousands of years, and now finally having a satisfactory body, Conneris is certainly not willing to be killed like this, even if the other party is the frost dragon Sindra. He wielded the Frozen Blade in his hand while chanting ancient demonic runes that almost no one could understand, unleashing strange and powerful magic that was even beyond the realm of magic today.
With Conneris's body as the center, a circle of spatial ripples, like ripples on the surface of the water, continued to spread to the surroundings. Whenever the magic cast by the frost dragon Sindra fell into it, it was as if it was in a deep quagmire, and its speed was greatly reduced, and at the same time, under the continuous washing of the spatial ripples, the power contained in it was also peeled off layer by layer.
Seeing Lin Li's side blasting out with the Light and Darkness Giant Sword, the power of the Frost Dragon seemed to be faintly restricted, and Conneris immediately chanted sixteen demonic runes without hesitation. As soon as the demon rune came out, I saw that behind Conneris, a hundred-meter-high demon god phantom suddenly appeared, the demon god had two horns on his head and two wings on his back, and as soon as it was formed, he punched the frost dragon out of thin air.
"Bang!" The Demon God Phantom punched the void, but it made a loud noise that landed on the real thing. At the same time, on the side of the frost dragon Sindra, the dense fog of death around him seemed to blow into a violent wind and was swept into a gust of rolling. You can even see that in the thick fog, there are faint crystalline ice chips flying around.
It seems to be a good momentum, but unfortunately everyone knows that such an attack still can't shake the frost dragon at all. Because in previous battles, Conneris had already done the same thing more than once, and each time the result was the same. I saw that after the demon god phantom punched out, the huge fist was suddenly covered with silver-white frost, and at the same time, the frost spread rapidly along the arm towards the entire phantom.
Conneris didn't dare to slack off for a moment, chanting demon runes in his mouth, quickly dispersing the condensed demon god phantom, and at the same time, he also left his location with lightning speed. The demon god's phantom dissipated, but the arm that had been wrapped in frost exploded directly in the air, making that space feel like a snowfall.
The demon god phantom was condensed by Conneris's magic power, and the loss of an arm was equivalent to the loss of a part of the magic power. Although Conneris has a perfect body and an extremely high mana recovery speed, don't forget that this is the realm of the frost dragon Sindra, let alone him, even Lin Li's mana recovery speed is less than half of the usual.
"Damn, I lost another arm, I knew Sindra would be here, even if I killed me, I wouldn't have come with you!" Conneris, who had escaped the catastrophe, complained to Lin Li angrily while dealing with the ensuing attack. It's only been a long time since I got this body, and I haven't had time to enjoy the beautiful birthday of having a body, and I was actually brought to a desperate situation again, is it destined to be a soul without a body! No, if you die here, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my soul.
