Chapter 314: Abyssal Underworld (I)
Buffyment, the king of the minotaurs, is the 600th Lord of the Abyss, a masculine demon lord who is cruel and ferocious.
Belong to the most powerful and difficult existence among the demon lords.
Sometimes I have to thank the devil because the demon legion of Asmodeus keeps so many terrifying and powerful demons out of the multiverse.
Unfortunately, unlike Bato's Hell, which is so tight that there are almost no gaps to speak of, the bottomless abyss is almost completely open. The Demon Lords wished that the fools of the main plane would build a stable plane passage into the abyss, so that the demons would have a chance to invade in reverse.
As soon as Raven said this, the Red Knight and Shannie immediately remembered what incident it was. This is one of the few events in the history of the world of Ultron where demons have invaded the main plane.
While this is a small-scale invasion of the world as a whole, the so-called 'small' is also relative to the entire multiverse. This time, the invasion sent by Buffyment directly caused the complete destruction of the three provinces of the ancient Arcane Empire, and the death toll exceeded one million.
The Red Knight said: "Historically, it was because the expedition force was caught off guard that the entrance to the plane was completely lost. The Aeolus mage group was forced to fight Buffyment's army of Purgatory Minotaurs without the cover of enough avant-garde troops, and the army was wiped out. ”
No wonder seeing so many troops here, the Red Knight still felt a little bad.
"I see quite a few troops preparing to enter, can we stop them?" ”
The Red Knight shook his head: "No, everyone is going crazy with excitement. I can only say that Buffett is so bad that he actually arranges the labyrinth so luxuriously. ”
The 600th floor of the bottomless abyss is also known as the endless labyrinth. Most of the labyrinths are three meters wide and three meters high and are well maintained, with walls made of ivory. It is composed of white marble, granite, and porphyry.
It seems that this time, the plane passage is opened relatively close to the center, so the Red Knight has seen it with his own eyes, those guys with eyes smiling like crescent moons. Gracefully moving out of the passage, the ivory dug out of the labyrinth wall.
Wealth drives people crazy.
That frenzy for wealth caused nearly 10,000 people in the entire camp to fall into an abnormal frenzy.
"Can't we do anything, just watch these cannon fodder fill in that bottomless pit in advance and consume it?" Shanny didn't care about the life or death of these filthy creatures, but she cared about not being able to complete the trial.
Is it with the Four Holy Gates? Or something else?
Raven couldn't see through her.
At this time, Raven spoke: "Human nature is greedy and crazy, and without enough blood, they will never wake up. ”
"What are you going to do?" The two goddesses spoke in unison.
"Let's get everyone together first, maybe there's a way."
It wasn't long before the six of them got together in Leila's tent.
Layla is now arranged by the Four Holy Gates as a princess of the Arcane Empire, and is passionate about adventure. This time, the Arcane Emperor was begged to let her come here, but she was only allowed to go around and had to go back.
Among the five gods who have been forcibly molded into mortals, Tampas is indeed the strongest, a level 48 silver-rank barbarian. The rest are the level 35 knights of the Red Knight, and the level 31 archer ranger of Adelee. Then there's Lyra's level 28 illusion 3-ring mage, Shanny's level 19 bard, and Raven's level 14 wanderer.
But Tampas was injured. A bizarre infection.
"I remember being bitten by a giant monster that looked like a mixture of a man, a cow, and a skinned bull. Pain once every 10 minutes. It's not powerful, it will probably reduce my combat effectiveness by 10%. Tampas didn't even frown.
"Raven. Did you know? "The Red Knight is convinced of the all-knowing and all-powerful Raven. The knowledge of the bottomless abyss is extremely cold to these gods who are only in the main plane present. If Raven doesn't understand, then no one really does.
Raven squinted, staring at Tampas's arm that was beginning to twist unnaturally, "Flesh twisted, it's a dirty supernatural disease. If it doesn't matter. With each day that passes through your entire body, the distortion increases by one point until you become crippled and unable to move because your limbs are completely distorted. ”
"Can it be recovered naturally?" Tampas frowned.
Raven shook his head: "There must be a priest at the peak of the Golden Order to release [Remove Disease] for you." ”
Leila lost her voice and said, "It's over." The only gold-level priest in the entire camp had just entered the maze this morning. ”
Unlike the later generations of deities who have the priesthood of life, there are a large number of pastors in the church who can heal. The cultural atmosphere of the Arcane Empire is rather deformed, and the status of mages and warlocks is supreme. Theocracy was weakened to the extreme. So pastors are not welcomed, and in the same way, the number of pastors is quite scarce.
"My injuries don't matter. I am the god of battle, not a weak person who cannot fight without an arm and a leg. The point is how we can win this battle. I remember that the army sent by Buffyment rarely seems to be less than 10,000, right? ”
Ten thousand demons, even the lowest-level semi-purgatory minotaurs, this is enough to make the entire trial completely fail.
Raven and the five gods were extremely weakened. In the case that it cannot be crushed by strength, the quantity, quality, and strategy and tactics of soldiers become quite important.
I haven't touched the demon army, and I don't know my own suffering.
In this regard, Raven actually admires Asmodeurs quite a lot. With such inferior troops, you can play a trick of raising thieves and self-respect, and you can also change tricks to train troops repeatedly, and raise so many high-quality elite devil warriors.
At this time, the Red Knight, who is the goddess of strategy, finally threw out her proposal: "Actually, I have a method, which is very detrimental and effective. It's up to you to give it up. ”
Leila suddenly noticed that Raven and the Red Knight were looking at her at the same time, and her little face turned a little white for a moment: "Will it hurt?" ”
The two guys nodded.
"Won't it hurt?"
Raven hesitated, but nodded.
"Alright! I did it for Raven's sake. With tears in the corners of her eyes, Leila stretched out her white and tender arms, looking generous and righteous.
Half an hour later, Princess Leila, who was leading a large army to the labyrinth, had an accident. It was a small expedition, but after touching a slightly sharp notched tusk in the labyrinth wall, Princess Leila screamed and fell to the ground, causing all the guards to panic.
After a few minutes, the princess's white and flawless arm began to twist unnaturally, and all the muscles of the entire upper left arm were twisted to the side as if they had been wrung out of a washed garment......
If the emperor wants the people below to pay for the willfulness of the princess, I am afraid that all the accompanying guards will be executed.
As a result, the whole camp was suddenly chaotic.
Worse was yet to come, with a plague-like disease spreading in just one hour. That is the consequence of the dual effects of curse and disease.
Immediately, a clear rumor quickly spread.
"Hey, have you heard? This time, we accidentally opened the plane passage to the 600th floor of the bottomless abyss, in the endless labyrinth of the lair of the king of the minotaurs, Buffyment. If you can't hold this place, the entire Arcane Empire will perish. ”
"Really? Not that exaggerated, right? ”
"Don't you see? Even Princess Leila has been poisoned by Buffyment, which is called [Flesh Twist]. ”
During the Arcane Empire, the Truth Technique was already quite popular to find out if things were true or false, and all the conditions were quickly confirmed. The entire adventure camp was so nervous that emergency meetings were held in succession.
At the meeting, the Red Knight was able to convince almost all of the higher-ups to set up a blocking position in front of the plane passage. Buy time for the arrival of the Aeolus Mage Regiment.
After doing all this, Raven and the others received a spiritual connection prompt from the Four Holy Gates.
It was a narrative, cold tone.
"You Guardians were informed of the danger ahead of time with great knowledge. Prepared for the crisis. In the same way, in order to wake up the people around you, you used the venom of the new demon Ankasha, the masterpiece of the King of the Minotaurs, Buffyment, to make the Anemo Mage enter three hours early, and they are scheduled to enter the battlefield after 12 hours. ”
Receiving the prompt, the six of them gathered again in the princess's tent.
Tampas was expressionless, but Leila's face was white and she was in a cold sweat.
Raven hugged Leila and gently comforted her.
"I have been a god for more than 2,000 years, and I have never suffered this kind of pain. You must thank me well when you go back. ”
"Uh-huh." Raven agreed.
The Red Knight suddenly said, "The average level of our troops is only bronze. I've done everything I can think of. Now that the plane passage cannot be closed, I have the logistics soldiers dig a lot of huge pits at the entrance of the passage. Also quagmire the terrain. Multi-tiered ballista units were also arranged. But, I think, it's not enough. ”
"We also need reinforcements." Adrily affirmed.
"Where?" Shirley asked.
So, the five gods turned their attention to Raven again.
"Okay. Let me tell you up front, I really don't have anything to do with that guy. I really just knew about it by accident. ”
Raven asks for a bunch of strange things, bones, and debris, and then hides in the barn where the two corpses are hidden, and starts playing with the Great Dancer.
Adelity and the Red Knight's men were outside, and as the Red Knight and Tempas watched, Raven drew a blood-soaked summoning circle and began to chant.
"O Jenogu, the great king of the gnolls! I am an admirer of the Gnolls, your most loyal followers, and I share your dream of seeing the Gnolls flourish. I would like to see the children of the great gnolls for an infinite number of generations, controlling the main plane of Ultron for generations, where elves, humans, dwarves, and halflings are only slaves and food for the gnolls......"
Raven's boasting is so numb that he simply loses the face of the intelligent race. (To be continued......)
PS: There are two more in the next two more, even if I finish writing it in the middle of the night......
