Chapter 364: Blood Sacrifice Ritual

Listening to Ian Archmage's words, Roger, who was also looking at the gates of hell, couldn't help but be silent.

The depth of the devils and demons' research into the power of space can be seen from their use of the gates of hell.

Spellcasters know that demons and demons are good magic materials all over their bodies, and among them, "horns", "hearts", and "blood" are the most important.

The horns of the devil and the devil are both a symbol of their status and a source of their strength. The heart, on the other hand, is undoubtedly the source of vitality. Blood, on the other hand, contains the power of the devil and demons.

These things are clear to even the magicians of the main plane, and the devils and demons themselves are naturally not unclear. Therefore, the devils and demons also have quite unique ways of using their own "magic materials".

In this way, it is a blood sacrifice.

Want to be even more powerful? Good! Let's come to the blood sacrifice!

Want to extend the teleportation limit at Hell's Gate? Good! Let's come to the blood sacrifice!

Want to summon a powerful Demon God or Demon Lord directly? Good! Let's come to the blood sacrifice!

For the devils and demons, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a blood sacrifice. If there is, then two blood sacrifices!

By performing blood rituals with a large number of lower-ranking demons or demons, the demon gods and demon lords who are the superior can easily gather a considerable amount of magical power. And with this vast amount of magic, the Demon Gods and Demon Lords can easily accomplish many of the things they want to do.

For example, forcibly solidify the Gates of Hell and increase the maximum strength of the Devils or Demons that the Gates of Hell can pass through.

Therefore, the blood sacrifice ritual that both the devils and the demons know how to use is not a simple ritual. This bloody and cruel ritual involves a high level of magic for the devils and demons.

It's just that the demons who rely on their instinct and inheritance from the demon bloodline can say that the reason why the cunning devils are able to set off all kinds of turmoil on the main plane is largely due to the use of this evil ritual.

In contrast, the angels from the heavenly realm obviously did not study the power of space as deeply as the devils and demons, so the angels had to unite with the human race to resist the invasion of the demons.

Although the angels are suspected of using the inhabitants of the main plane as spears, this is actually a mutually beneficial thing in nature, so the major forces on the main plane have a friendly attitude towards these messengers of the gods.

Of course, what the attitude is like in private is another matter.

And now, for the casters of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods, what they have to do is not much different from what the devils and demons want to do. Both are actually solidifying the gates of hell, the difference is that the casters of the coalition want to lower the upper limit of the strength of the demons that the gates of hell can pass through, while the demons' purposes are diametrically opposite.

However, what the demons can easily accomplish with one or two simple altars and a large number of blood sacrifices is a rather difficult subject for the casters of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods.

After consuming a large amount of precious magic materials and exhausting the magic power of several legendary archmages and archpriests, the casters of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods barely managed to stabilize the connection between the Gates of Hell and the main plane. Now, these spellcasters have to move on to an even more difficult task: forcibly lowering the maximum strength of the mighty ones who can pass through the gates of hell.

To do this, the casters had to weaken the Gates of Hell, which had been strengthened by the Demon God Mephistopheles, making the spatial passage known as the Gates of Hell even more vulnerable.

In this way, the more powerful the devils and demons enter the spatial passage, the more likely it is to cause the collapse of the spatial passage, resulting in all the demons in the passage falling directly into the space-time turbulence.

Getting lost in the turbulence of time and space is definitely more terrifying than death.

However, even with the participation of several experienced archmages and archpriests, this group of spellcasters, who already represent the most cutting-edge magic level in the continent of Elia, still cannot guarantee that they will be able to successfully complete this task.

All they can guarantee is that they will definitely go all out for it.

Compared with the weight of the demons, this is actually enough to reflect the huge gap between the magic level of the demons and the magic level of the main plane.

This naturally made Archmage Ian, who had always been quite proud of the magical strength of the Tower of the Nine Rings, inevitably feel a little sad.

"Before coming to Hell, Archmage Garo and I were confident in this trip." Stroking Whitebeard, Ian Archmage said with a wry smile, "After all, even what bloody, cruel, and rude demons can do, we all think there is no reason why the Tower of the Nine Rings can't do it. ”

"However, when the official start of construction began, everyone's faces became whiter and whiter." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ian Archmage said with some shame, "Just stabilizing the spatial passage has already made us waste too much mental energy. Therefore, when it comes to trying to reduce the strength of the spatial passage, so that the upper limit of the strength that can pass through the spatial passage is also reduced accordingly, even the most confident Grand Magus Garo is not absolutely able to complete it. ”

"And this kind of thing, for the demons, is actually only a matter of time......" As he spoke, the bitterness on Iain's face became heavier and heavier.

Throughout the history of the Elia Continent, every time the demons invaded the main plane, they had never failed to expand the gates of hell.

In other words, the Tower of the Nine Rings is at least a thousand years behind the demons in its research on space!

It was definitely a number that would break any aspiring magician with research aspirations, and it made Roger smile bitterly as he tried to comfort Ian Archmage.

Noticing a wry smile on Roger's face, Ian Archmage comforted Roger in turn: "Don't worry, even if you have to pay a big price, they will definitely succeed in solidifying the gates of hell!" I guarantee in the name of the Tower of the Nine Rings! ”

Looking at the resolute Ian Grand Magister, Roger couldn't help but nod obediently.

Ian Archmagister, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered the purpose of Roger's visit, and couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "Ah! I'm really sorry, it's a bit far, let's hurry to the magic array. Except for the last magic lock that you are responsible for, the other magic arrays, Garo Grand Magus, they have already been carved. ”

Finally remembering that something was important, Ian Archmage hurriedly took Roger to the position directly in front of the Gate of Hell, which was the center point of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the super-large magic array arranged by the Church of the Gods.

In the center of this circumference to the gates of hell, there is still a large blank space. This blank space is just enough to depict three chain magic arrays.

Roger nodded at Archmagister Ian, crouched down, and began to carve out the magic circle that originated from the druids. Although the Druids are also spellcasters, they are actually more of a panacea-like class. Whether it's melee combat, spellcasting, stealth, or even shooting arrows from afar, many of the older generation of druids are able to do it or two.

And Roger, because of his age, is not very proficient in the abilities of the various factions of the druids. The ability to portray these magic arrays smoothly and smoothly was mostly due to the careful teaching of the Treant Elder in the Elven Clan's Hero Academy.

Because of this, Roger's portrayal of magic runes was quite jerky, which made Archmage Ian frown.

Archmage Ian, who was watching, had no intention of stealing the teacher. After all, the magicians of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the druids who believe in the way of nature have a very different understanding of magic, and there is not much possibility for them to learn from each other. Ian Archmage stood aside, more actually guarding Roger, who was wholeheartedly portraying the magic array.

Of course, Ian Archmagister is also tasked with remedying problems in Roger's portrayal in a timely manner.

However, Roger, who still maintains his demigod-level strength, relies on his strong strength to ensure that his portrayal movements are stable and accurate enough. Although Roger's portrayal speed was a little slow due to the unfamiliar movements, he did not make any mistakes until Roger's portrayal was completed.

As an elemental hero, Kerr and others, although they are still in the Q version, this does not prevent them from doing Roger a little favor. With the knowledge and experience from the Elemental Lords, they were able to make some optimizations to the magic array depicted by Roger, making the magic array arranged by Roger run more smoothly.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of Roger's portrayal, allowing Roger to quickly complete the three chain magic arrays at a speed far beyond Ian Archmage's imagination.

Roger, who had arranged the chain of magic arrays based on those three magic puzzles, did not stop there, but after a little consideration, he took out a few things from his arms in the surprised eyes of Archmage Ian.

A long sword, a twig, a bottle of water, a brazier, and a bag of dirt.

Thanks to Xuanwu's knowledge, Roger has more or less understood some knowledge about Taoism and formations. Although it was only the level of half a bucket of water, Roger believed that these formation knowledge from the Otherworldly Huaxia should not be able to crack it on this Elia continent.

The formation that Roger is going to arrange is called the Five Elements Formation.

After all, it was the level of half a bucket of water, and Roger didn't dare to mess around too much. The formation he was going to set up was just to protect the three chain magic arrays from being forcibly destroyed.

Then, under the nose of Archmage Ian, Roger seemingly randomly placed the long sword, branches, water bottles, braziers, and the pile of earth according to the position of the five points of the pentagram, and then made a few simple gestures, and the five things on the ground disappeared out of thin air.

The formation is complete!

Archmagister Ian's eyes widened for a moment, staring intently at the ground that had turned into a blank slate. Because, at the moment when the Five Elements Array was formed, the three chain magic arrays portrayed by Roger earlier also disappeared.

As if Roger had never carved any magic array, the ground looked fairly flat.

The curiosity of Ian Archmagister immediately wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Roger in time: "Wait! ”

"Huh?" Archmage Ian stopped and looked at Roger with some puzzlement.

With a wry smile, Roger explained: "After I set up the last magic array, this series of serial magic arrays has already begun to run. If you go forward, you'll trigger the first problem. ”

At that time, even Roger, who was in charge of arranging these magic arrays, would have to work a lot of effort to rescue the trapped Ian Archmage.

Thinking of Roger's three "terrifying" problems, Ian Archmage's beard suddenly turned up, and he reluctantly suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

However, in the process of walking out of this super-large magic array with Roger, Ian Archmage would still look back at the place where Roger had arranged the magic array from time to time, and the curiosity on his face was overflowing.

The person who can become a legendary archmage has absolutely no doubt about his passion for magic.

Of course, Archmagister Ian's curiosity was obviously impossible to satisfy. Roger, who only knew how to arrange these basic Dao formations, knew it himself, but he didn't know why, and he couldn't explain it to Ian Archmage at all.

Therefore, Roger grabbed Ian Archmage's sleeve and pulled it out of the super-large magic array.

After Archmage Ian informed the members of the Tower of the Nine Rings and the Church of the Gods that the magic arrays in Roger's charge had been arranged, the spellcasters, who were all a handful of them, made eye contact, and then they all began to urge the entire magic array with all their might, sealing the gates of hell with the final magic seal.

It seems that he also feels that the last critical moment is coming, and the middle and low-level demons who are constantly impacting the defense line are becoming more and more crazy. In the queue of these demons, sporadic high-level and top-level demons also began to appear.

In the end, the pressure on the defense line suddenly increased, and Prince Robin and the others, who had just gained some rest, hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows again and joined the defense line directly.

However, even with the powerful Hercules in charge, and a strong man like Prince Robin who is constantly killing mid- and high-level demons, in front of the number of demons that can no longer be counted, this last line of defense is still quickly becoming precarious.

As a last resort, the melee troops joined the battle in advance, and Roger and Michael and others, who had recovered a lot from their injuries, also quickly joined the defense line, and everyone went all out to block the attack of the demons.

But even so, the defense line is still gradually crumbling.

There are too many demons attacking.

But just when the demon troops finally broke through the fire blockade and were about to hand over to Roger and others, there were suddenly some riots in the demon array, and then the riots became bigger and bigger.

Right under the noses of Roger and the others, the low-level devils and low-level demons who were still fighting together just now actually began to fight. (To be continued.) )
