Half an hour later.

Stephen returns to Arrantiel, with Liana Witch in charge of the entire Steel Fortress in his place, while Winter Witch and Demigod Lich Karl are still dealing with the demons that roam nearby. There are many wild demons in the dark abyss, they roam the wilderness to kill each other and grow, only the high-level demons can subdue and enslave them, and the succubus lord - Lamir will cooperate with the wizards to control these demons.

Arantir.

After returning to his base camp, Stephen first visited the Mountain Giant-Rock, then the Ancient Tree of Wisdom and the Demigod Water Spirit, then got in touch with the undead birds currently located in the Great Secret Realm of the Flame Mountain, and finally set off for the Fifth Ring Tower.

Stephen spent two days at the Fifth Ring Tower.

During this time, he discussed many things with the chief witch of the college, and then spent a day in the Great Library before returning to Arrantiel. The Corrupted Brain is different from other ancient evil things, he has extremely powerful spiritual power, he can directly control people's thoughts and wills, and even the chaotic thoughts of demons can't escape, so dealing with this ancient evil thing is not enough for many people, and Stephen must test everyone's will before leaving.

Floating inside the city.

Stephen's figure was busy in the laboratory, next to Ankara, the prophet in charge of assistance, holding a lilac crystal ball in her hands, and was injecting magic into it at the moment.

"Arcane Dust. ”

"The sands of the astral plane. ”

"Mithril 10 grams. ”

Stephen kept giving out the names of the materials, and Ankara was in charge of bringing them over, watching Stephen's work carefully, asking a question or two from time to time.

About three hours later.

Dozens of strange oval hedrons floated in Stephen's palm, and he picked up one of them and activated it with mana, and the hedron flew around him. These are Io Stones, which provide additional will immunity and increased resistance to psychic attacks. Almost all the evil creatures of the Dark Abyss have the means of spiritual attack, and the Brain Eater can control the will of people.

"Let me act together this time, shall we?" said the prophet-Ankara softly.

Stephen hesitated a little when he heard this, and then said, "How was the spell you learned last time?"

"It's mastered. The prophet Ankara said confidently.

Stephen thought for a moment and said, "That's good. Let the Insight-Akasha come back. You set off with me. ”

"Good. "The expression of the prophet-Ankara was quite excited.

Three days passed quickly.

In the past three days, the entire Arantir was like a crazy machine, under the desperate work of the Blind Witch Society and the wizards of the astrological platform, the Floating City once again teleported a golem formation of three hundred combat units to the dark abyss, and the warrior monks of the Chanda Council also urgently mobilized some high-ranking warrior monks. The demigod immortal has returned to Arantir, and the exploration of the secret realm of the Flaming Mountain has been temporarily suspended, and her daughter is in charge of the camp that has been carved out.

The Wizard of Oladin said he wanted to go to war as well.

But there can't be no one on the side of Silverdome City, so Stephen rejected his transfer request, and now the external power of the Fifth Ring Tower has basically been handed over to Stephen, and Eve, the chief witch of the academy, is only in charge of internal affairs.

I have to say.

This legendary witch is quite atmospheric, and she is also very willing to let go of power to Stephen, and never interferes in his affairs.

A week really goes by quickly.

Stephen didn't even feel that it had passed, and he had replenished the Golem Legion to 5,000 during this time, and mobilized 300 warrior monks from Zenda, 500 Veku warriors, and a small number of dwarven defenders. Arantir's army has temporarily withdrawn to the Floating City, and they have no advantage against the Braineaters, and only those who have faced the frenzied onslaught of the Death Omen Star can fight these evil creatures.

Dark Abyss.

In just one week, the entire Flame Demon Cave has changed dramatically.

The outer walls were greatly expanded, and it took the wizards three days to build a road fifteen meters wide, with defenses on all sides, and the Burning Demon Blacksmith channeled a river of magma into the fortress.

True craftsmen are more popular everywhere, and Stephen naturally wouldn't do anything to this master fire burner blacksmith.

As long as he is honest and obedient, wizards are happy to give him the respect they deserve.

Some of the skeleton statues used to scare demons have been removed, and the dark wizards have taken some of them, and they don't know what to do, and Stephen can't do anything about them anyway, and the spirit of death has been imprinted on them. This can understand why the Yin Soul Tower is currently the most powerful dark wizard organization, the reason is actually very simple, that is, the dead dark wizards play their bodies to collapse, and in the end they have no choice but to transform into the undead form, and this is how the Yin Soul Tower grows little by little.

Seriously, Stephen is getting used to it a bit now.

In contrast, the wizards of the Five Rings Tower are much better now, and have basically turned to the realm of alchemy and enchantment, and potions is also taking the traditional route, and they are more keen on making some high-level magic items.

The original palace has now been turned into a war room.

On the table in the war room was a three-dimensional projection map, and Stephen pointed to the red dot on it, "This is the target of our attack." ”

"But we can't let our guard down either. ”

"The other demon lords could launch a counterattack at any time, so this time we will carry out a decapitation operation plan. ”

As long as you kill the ancient evils, then the other monsters are not to worry.

The Corrupted Brain is very cautious.

Probably because there were a little more Ancient Evil Creatures dead, and he rarely left the range of the Corruption Scars, which meant that in order to destroy him, Stephen had to go deep into the Corruption Scars.

Before that, Stephen had already done a test on other people's mental states.

Demigod Lich Karl passes with a perfect score.

Then there are the Winter Witches and Liana Witches, and then the High Angel - Shar and the others, but two people failed Stephen's test, one is Victor Wizard, who is very mentally unstable and can be corrupted and polluted if he gets close to the Corrupted Brain. The other is the Shepherd-Arondo, who has been purified in the Heart of the Oak and has eliminated the corruption, but the mental will is still in an unstable state, so neither of them can set out to deal with the Corrupted Brain.

They will stay in the Iron Fortress.

None of the Blood Druids passed the test, so none of them could go to war and had to stay.

"Then let's get ready to summon Lord Rock!" Stephen turned to the undead bird next to him, this time Stephen could be said to be in full force, the power of the Corrupted Brain is too weird, so it must be destroyed before it corrupts the others.
