Chapter 986: Magic Array
The magic net magic array, itself is the god of mages, Gresco, according to the characteristics of human magicians, and at the end of the dark ages, in the war to overthrow the rule of the High Elves, the magician legion under the command of Gresco relied on this magic net magic array to win one victory after another in the confrontation with the High Elves.
The High Elves have always claimed to be the best race, but in fact they do have all sorts of unattainable advantages over other intelligent races. Especially in terms of the comprehension of magic, there is no difficulty for them to step into the legendary realm at all, and as long as they become adults, they will almost inevitably become a real legendary powerhouse. It seems that only the threshold of the Holy Domain can make the high elves distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of qualifications, but there are still not a few strong people in the holy domain among the high elves.
Compared with the High Elves, humans are a bit miserable in terms of magic, and the legendary realm is a very insurmountable barrier for the vast majority of human magicians. What's even more exaggerated is that even below the legendary realm, almost every level can still be called a threshold, some people are stuck on the threshold of the fifteenth level promotion to the Great Magister, some people are stuck on the threshold of the tenth level to the promotion of the Magi, and some people can't even do magic apprentices, they can't even feel the magic element, they can only turn to be a simple warrior assassin and so on. You must know that among the high elves, martial arts and magic are inseparable, they are both ways of using power, and every excellent magician often has a very high attainment in martial arts.
But humans have one advantage that the High Elves cannot match, and that is numbers. The High Elves have a very long lifespan, but the reproduction ability of the race is very weak, even in the heyday of the High Elves, the number of the High Elves is only a few hundred thousand. However, human beings are different, and although their lifespan is only a few decades, the ability of the race to reproduce is unmatched by the High Elves in any way.
With a huge population base, even if you choose one out of a thousand, you can pick out a team of magicians who are many times larger than the entire High Elf race. But there is one thing, quantity does not mean quality, even if there are a million great mages in the human race, they are just a group of ants for the real Sanctuary powerhouse, which is why the High Elves do not pay too much attention to humans. It can be said that in the face of the gap in the realm, the number cannot play a decisive role at all, and the numerical advantage of the human race is actually not an advantage at all in the eyes of the high elves.
However, Gresco, the god of mages, saw this and created a way to turn this advantage into a real advantage, that is, the magic net magic array. Under the connection of the magic network magic array, everyone is a node of this magic network, and the magic and spiritual power of all the great magicians are connected together, just like a wooden bar can be easily broken, but a hundred and thousands of roots are tied together, that is a pillar that cannot be broken.
Under the connection of the magic network, everyone is no longer a separate individual, and the entire magic array is a whole, and can even be regarded as a "person", a "person" who has the power of all people in the network. Therefore, it was not more than a hundred archmages who fought against the bone dragon, but a "person" with the huge magic power of more than a hundred archmages.
Although compared with the real legendary powerhouse, the mage group is deficient in the comprehension of the rules, but the mage group has a characteristic that the real legendary powerhouse can't do, that is, it can flexibly divide or combine according to needs. A true legendary powerhouse can't turn himself into two people at once, but the mage group connected by the magic net magic array can, not only can it be divided into two, three, or even more, which makes their tactics more flexible and changeable, which is something that a real legendary powerhouse can't do.
It is precisely with this characteristic that the mage group of the Tower of Dusk, a group of great mages who are not regarded by the legendary powerhouses, have fought with more than a dozen bone dragons, and even seem to have some spare strength.
You must know that this group of bone dragons, each of them has the strength of the legendary level, and it is not the level that has just entered the legend, almost all of them are about twenty-one, and there are not a few of them who are even twenty-two. The breath of dragon breath they spewed at random possessed the power of legendary magic, and the claws they swung were not inferior to the full force of the Sword Master's blow.
But such a powerful dozen or so bone dragons were blocked out of the team of the Tower of Dusk mage group by a layer of light curtain, and the film of the light curtain that seemed to be like a bubble that could be blown by a light breeze showed extraordinary resilience under the fierce attack of the bone dragons. The bone dragons tore with their claws, bombarded with their breath, and even cast the dragons' dragon magic, but they were never able to break through the defenses of the Tower of Twilight mage.
And the Tower of Twilight mage group did not blindly defend, but continued to work together to cast powerful legendary magic, thunder blast technique, hurricane technique, burning sky flame, etc., all kinds of powerful magic emerged in an endless stream, constantly through the light curtain of defense, fiercely bombarded the bodies of those bone dragons.
This is not only the credit of the magic net magic array, in fact, if it were replaced by the mage group of the Orlana Magic Guild, it may not be able to cast legendary magic so luxuriously. At this moment, the superb magical equipment on the magicians of the Tower of Dusk also reflected their due value. Even though the magicians cast legendary magic so frequently, none of them showed signs of magic exhaustion, as if everyone had infinite magical power.
It's just that the bone dragon, as a powerful existence standing at the peak of undead creatures, is not so easy to be defeated. They're not the kind of bones that are patched together, and even though they don't have the ones that are immune to most magic damage, the bones that really belong to the dragon are still very hard to destroy. At the same time, the thick aura of death that lingers on their bodies also provides them with great defensive power, even if it is a powerful legendary magic, it can only cause a little damage to them, and those injuries will be repaired by the incomparably thick aura of death in the blink of an eye.
In this way, the mage group of the Tower of Dusk and a dozen powerful bone dragons presented a stalemate, at least for a short time, I am afraid that no one can help anyone.
"Fuck off, you disgusting bones! Lean in again, and watch out for Uncle Angelano smashing you into bone meal! "On the battlefield inside the canyon, amid the roar of magic and the cracking of boulders, Angelano's hoarse curse through the Alchemy Colossus was still quite clear.
The alchemy colossus controlled by Angelano is worthy of being a Titan-level alchemy colossus that is known as inferior to the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, facing the siege of the seven-headed bone dragon alone, but it still has a faint upper hand. Under Angelano's manipulation, the alchemy colossus danced the giant pillar-like alloy spear in his hand, making people feel no clumsiness at all, and all kinds of martial arts were used like peers, without revealing the slightest flaw.
At the same time, the incomparably huge power of the Alchemy Colossus has not been weakened in the slightest due to the use of skills. Seeing a bone dragon pounce on him, Angelano cursed loudly as he turned the spear in his hand and sent out a gust of wind that slammed into the bone rack that made him sick. There was a loud bang, and with just one blow, the huge skeleton dragon rolled backwards, until it was hundreds of meters away before it regained its shape. If someone has good eyesight, they must be able to see that under this blow, the sternum of the bone dragon is like glass hit by a stone, and the bone chips are constantly peeling off as the bone dragon moves.
If it was a one-on-one, or even one-on-two battle, I am afraid that it would only take a few rounds, and the bone dragon would really be dismantled and smashed into a pile of bone slag just like Angelano cursed. It's a pity that before Angelano could pursue, two bone dragons immediately pounced around him and entangled him in place, so angry that he could only jump to his feet and curse in the alchemy colossus. And this delay, the battered bone dragon, the wounds on its body have been quickly repaired by the death mist, and once again fearlessly pounced on it to join the battle.
In the shroud of the dense fog of death, unless the soul fire of the bone dragon is directly extinguished, any damage caused to them will be quickly repaired, which is a very helpless thing for everyone. Of course, for the whole situation of the battle, killing one or two bone dragons actually had no real impact.
You must know that the bone dragons in this canyon are only half of the strength of the bone dragon army, and there are more than fifty bone dragons above the canyon who are constantly looking for opportunities to intervene in the battle. I have to say that the terrain of the canyon still provides a great advantage for the exploration team, otherwise the more than 100 bone dragons will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the exploration team.
The more than fifty bone dragons that rushed into the canyon, Angelano and the Tower of Twilight Mage Regiment alone took over nearly thirty bone dragons, greatly reducing the pressure on the other three teams. But even so, it doesn't mean that the teams of the other three forces are easy, and the battle formations they use are just the game of the High Elves in the Dark Ages, where can they be compared to the magic net magic array created by the mage god Gresco.
The situation of the team of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is relatively good, firstly, there are ten magic crystal cannons that use legendary magic crystals, and the power of each cannon light is not inferior to legendary magic. It was with these ten magic crystal cannons that they blasted out the bone dragon that almost rushed into the team several times, otherwise once the bone dragon was allowed to rush into the battle array, the consequences would be unimaginable. And another reason is that the Lord of Nightmares, the Demon Gordon and the Bone Red Dragon left by Lin Li, these three legendary combat powers, could not participate in the magic array of the Tower of Dusk mage group, so they joined the team of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce under Lin Li's order, which improved the strength of the team of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent.
Although the Lord of Nightmares is not low-level, he is still good at psychic attacks, which basically does not play much role for the bone dragon that has no self-awareness. Of course, he didn't only attack mentally, but with other attack methods that he wasn't good at, he could only fight against a bone dragon. Therefore, during the battle, the Lord of Nightmares did not go to fight the bone dragon alone, but roamed among the ranks of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, from time to time to support those places where danger occurred.
In comparison, in the battle with the bone dragon, the demon Gordon felt a little like a fish in water. With the large amount of precious magical metal devoured, the demon Gordon's body can be said to have been strengthened to the extreme, and the bone dragon's claws that can tear through steel can only leave shallow scratches on his body. And the bone dragon's strongly corrosive dragon breath fell on the demon Gordon's body, but it only made the metallic luster on Gordon's body more dazzling.
It was with this physical advantage that Demon Gordon's arms transformed into huge scythes, dancing with pieces of sharp sword light, blocking the two bone dragons from the edge of the battle array of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. Devouring a large amount of magic metal, in addition to giving him a strong defensive ability, it also made his attack power reach a rather astonishing level, and the scythe with his arms changing at will has a sharpness that is not inferior to any magic weapon. Every time the flash of his sword collided with the bone dragon, it would spill out a large cloud of bone dust and bone powder, as if it had fallen a heavy snowfall.
It's just that there are too many bone dragons, and one of them has been hit hard, and it will be replaced by other bone dragons immediately, and it won't take long for it to be completely new and pounce on it with great ferocity again. This is also that Gordon's level is not high enough, if he has the strength of level twenty-four at this time, I am afraid that he can really kill a few in and out of the Bone Dragon Legion.
Of course, Demon Gordon was able to grow to this point, not by virtue of his accumulation in the Endless Abyss, when he was released in the Sky City, his strength was not a little worse than now. After Lin Li took the demon Gordon as a slave, whether it was for cultivation or to satisfy his curiosity, he provided him with a lot of precious magic metals that could not be found in the abyss, and even devoured a piece of the god metal brought from the endless world, which was not comparable to other similar people.
The current demon Gordon, if he returns to the Endless Abyss, is probably also a powerful existence at the level of the Abyss Sovereign. In particular, the piece of divine metal directly opened a door of evolution for him, allowing him to embark on an evolutionary path that no other member of the same kind had ever taken.
For a long time, a demon like Gordon has been evolving itself by devouring magic metal, and if there is no magic metal to devour, it means that there is no room for evolution. However, after devouring the Divine Metal, the evolutionary nature of the Divine Metal gave him the ability to continue to evolve without having to devour the Magic Metal. This kind of evolution ability may be slower than the evolution of devouring metal, but it also gives him infinite possibilities for evolution, as long as there is enough time, it may be possible to step into the holy realm.
On the other side of the demon Gordon, entangled with the three bone dragons, there are many bone red dragons. In terms of level, the Bone Red Dragon was actually one level stronger than these Bone Dragons, and it had already reached the level of Twenty-two or more that Lin Li said, but Lin Li was worried that it would lose control under the suppression of the Frost Dragon Sindra, so he left it below to help the exploration team resist the Bone Dragon.
After all, the frost dragon Sindra, whether it is from the level of the dragon or from the level of undead creatures, will have a great suppression of the bone red dragon. Although the Soul Fire of the Bone Red Dragon has integrated the hearts of the dead and already has a certain level of autonomy, it may not be enough to compete with the power of the Frost Dragon Sindra.
However, for the Bone Dragons, the Bone Red Dragon is definitely a very formidable opponent. Compared to those bone frames, the Bone Red Dragon has a complete body, and in terms of both defense and physical strength, it is far superior to the Bone Dragon. At the same time, it also has the bloodline power of the Red Dragon, which can not only spit out the corrosive dragon breath of the bone dragon, but also can breathe the flame dragon breath unique to the red dragon, and can also cast dragon magic more powerful than the bone dragon.
In addition to the advantages brought by the red dragon's body, the soul fire of the bone red dragon also fused with the heart of the dead, and it was far from being comparable to the ordinary bone dragon in terms of combat awareness. In battle, the Bone Red Dragon will use more skills than instinct like the Bone Dragon, and it can be said that even at the same level, the Bone Red Dragon will not have a difficult task to deal with a Bone Dragon. In fact, if it weren't for the suppression of the Frost Dragon Sindra, a higher-level king, the Bone Red Dragon, with its own strength and self-awareness, might have been able to accept this group of Bone Dragons as its junior brother.
It is precisely by virtue of this kind of advantage that the bone red dragon fights the three-headed bone dragon alone, not only does not see a trace of embarrassment, but suppresses the three-headed bone dragon to death.
Demon Gordon and Bone Red Dragon, each on the side of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce team, coupled with the terrain of the canyon, it can be said that they directly blocked half of the pressure on the team of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. And the Lord of Nightmares walks in the middle of the team, supporting the danger everywhere like a firefighter, which greatly guarantees the safety of the team. With these three legendary powerhouses in charge, coupled with the Tower of Dusk Mage Regiment next to it, the team of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce basically only had to deal with one side of the enemy, and the ten magic crystal cannons were constantly shining, and there were no casualties for a while.
Compared to the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, the teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family did not have the magic crystal cannon filled with the legendary magic crystal, nor did they have the powerful legendary powerhouse to take care of them. With only their battle formation, which was originally used in the gladiatorial arena, it was impossible to survive the attack of the bone dragon. Therefore, as soon as the battle began, the teams of the two families once again threw their hole cards, temporarily avoiding the tragedy of team annihilation.
After the battle with the Whispering God, the Mithril Alliance only used healing potions to treat the wounded, coupled with the subsequent battle with the skeleton Beamon Ghost Beamon, the current combat strength may be less than half of the usual, and it can be said that it is the weakest of the four teams at present.
However, since Joseph did not choose to withdraw from exploration, he naturally still relied on it. During the battle with the Whispering God, Joseph revealed one of his hole cards, which was to summon the Abyss Dragon. In fact, with the strength of the Abyss Demon Dragon, as a hole card used to turn the tables at a critical moment, there is absolutely no problem.
It's a pity that as soon as the Abyss Demon Dragon appeared, the enemy he faced was the extremely perverted Whispering God, and he was killed before he could play a role. If the Abyss Demon Dragon is used here, it will definitely play a much greater role in the battle against the Bone Dragon. It's a pity that the Abyss Demon Dragon is not something that anyone can summon, and the former patriarch of the Dida family died because he summoned the Abyss Demon Dragon and was counterattacked, and he didn't have enough strength, and summoning the Abyss Demon Dragon was simply self-defeating.
However, not being able to summon the Abyss Demon Dragon does not mean that other Abyssal Demons cannot be summoned, and this is another hole card of the Mithril Alliance. At the beginning of the battle, in addition to the Dida family, the magicians of the other four major families in the Mithril Alliance chanted a spell to summon the abyss demons, and for a while, the open space in the team was filled with large and small six-pointed star circles.
Why is it said that except for the Dida family, because this spell that summons the demons of the abyss is classified as an absolute secret in the Dida family, and not everyone can learn it, except for several elders of the family, even Charles, who has been the patriarch for two years, has not learned this spell. However, what the Dida family didn't expect was that the spell that they regarded as a treasure was unknowingly popularized to every great mage of the four major families. Therefore, when they saw the people around them summoning the Abyss Demon, the faces of the people of the Dida family were ugly one by one.
Judging from the types of abyssal demons summoned, it is obvious that the four major families have already had a certain plan between them, and they have not summoned miscellaneous things, mainly focusing on several abyss demons.
The magicians of Joseph's family summoned the Claw Demon who lived in the seventh layer of the Abyss, more than two meters tall, and his body looked a bit like a chimpanzee, but his two arms were extremely thick, almost as thick as an adult's waist. And at the end of their giant palms is the origin of their name, sickle-like claws about a meter long.
The level of the Claw Demon is not very high, probably around level sixteen or seventeen, and the resistance to magic is not very strong, which is suitable for the great mages to summon and subdue. Despite this, the strength of the Claw Demon is still quite good, the pair of thick arms can send out thousands of catties of power, and the sharp sickle-like claws can easily cut hard rock into pieces. A human warrior of the same level, if you don't consider factors such as battle formations, I'm afraid that it will take five people to be able to compete with them, and they will inevitably have to pay a rather painful price.
The magicians of the Joseph family summoned more than forty claw demons at once, which greatly supplemented the strength of the team, but this alone was not enough to fight against the bone dragon.
The magicians of the Elvis family summoned the Bloodflame Winged Serpents of the eleventh layer of the Abyss, these Bloodflame Winged Serpents were only the thickness of two human fingers, and their entire bodies were as if they had been soaked in blood, but they were all more than five meters long. On the back of the Bloodflame Winged Serpent grows a pair of fleshy wings, similar in shape to the flesh wings of a giant dragon, though much smaller. Although the wings are not very large, it moves very fast, and it is not too much to say that it is as fast as lightning, and it is difficult for the human eye to catch its trajectory.
It is said that the Blood Flame Winged Serpent also has the blood of an ancient dragon, but apart from the shape of their fleshy wings and the attack method of spewing blood flames, there is no place for people to associate them with the dragon. The blood flames spat out by the Bloodflame Winged Serpent looked like spit, but they were no less dangerous than the dragon's breath.
What is contained in the blood flame is not the power of burning or corrosive, but the power of decaying all things. A brand new armor, as long as it is stained with a little blood flame, will become old and decayed in the blink of an eye, as if it has been worn out by thousands of years, and finally turn into a pile of ashes.
In addition to spitting, the Bloodflame Winged Serpent also has a means of attack, which is to use its own body. The surface of its body is not full of smooth scales like ordinary snakes, but has several fine, sharp serrations from head to tail. When it moves at extremely high speeds, its body resembles a vicious serrated whip, and even a hoplite warrior can be torn apart if it hits it.
Since it is a weapon with its body, the strength of the body of the Blood Flame Winged Serpent can be imagined, don't look at the thickness of only two fingers of an adult, but that strength is probably not far from that of a real dragon, and it is difficult for ordinary sharp weapons to cause any damage to its body at all. Although it has a relatively low resistance to magic like the Claw Demon, the blood flame spewed by the Blood Flame Winged Serpent has the same effect on magic, and it manifests itself as disintegrating magic, which can be regarded as making up for the weakness to a certain extent.
After the Claw Demon and the Bloodflame Winged Serpent, the mages of the other two families summoned the same abyssal demon, the Abyss Shield Demon. The Abyss Shield Demon is not large, only about a meter tall, with stubby limbs, two horns on its head, and a black shield-shaped back armor behind it.
The attack power of the Abyss Shield Demon can be said to be miserable, and the reason why it can survive and continue in the endless abyss is because of the shield armor behind it. Although its appearance is somewhat similar to that of a tortoise, its defense is not to shrink its head and limbs into its shell. On its shield armor, it is born with a defensive magic rune, capable of generating a powerful defensive force field that is basically unshakable by attacks of the same level.
Of course, if you look at it this way, it doesn't seem to be very strong to be able to resist attacks of the same level, after all, with the usual level of the Abyss Shield Demon, it can only be at the bottom of many demons in the Endless Abyss.
