Chapter 244: Dagon
Chapter 244, Dagon
Three days later.
The Demon Realm, a filthy place where even demons don't want to tread, rotting wood and leaves cover the ground, and some huge worms are munching on those rotten things, stenching and stinking.
The land is dominated by a toad-like demon called Dagon, the undisputed ugliest thing in the Demon Realm, capable of making even demons disgusted to come closer. And the strongest of them is the Demon Lord Baal.
The Inspiration Team arrived here after completing the Messiah's resurrection ritual and prepared to leave the Demon Realm through the Demon Gate guarded by Baal. Among the three demon lords, Li Lian chose Baal the most difficult, precisely to avoid the other squads.
At this moment, the Inspiration team needs a period of rest and needs to use stronger strength to fight against the Misaka team.
The atmosphere in the ranks was unusually silent, and the most obvious difference from before was that neither the Messiah nor Anna was among them. Li Lian, the war ghost, the son, and the thousand cranes walked silently on the rotten and cold land.
The other difference was that Li Yuan was carrying a one-person-tall square box on his back. No, it's more like a coffin than a box......
At this time, the Inspiration team was in an extremely dangerous situation, not only lost Anna, one of the main combat forces, because of the sneak attack, but Li Lian almost used up his hole cards. The strength of the Implication team is unreservedly displayed in front of the Misaka team, but the true strength of the Misaka team has always been like a flower in the fog.
The only thing that can be inferred now is that all of Misaka's clones are just puppets, and they will always be resurrected if they can't all be destroyed at once. And it was this that made Li Lian confused, where is the body of the Misaka team, the real reincarnation, hidden?
Before figuring this out, the Misaka team was almost invincible, and Li Lian's only feasible strategy at this time was to avoid the Misaka team as much as possible to reduce the chance of another battle.
Looking back on the previous events, Li Lian believes that his decision was not wrong.
The strategy of using the communicator to mislead the Fillian Adventure Group has been successful, and the purpose of raiding the White Dust Team has been achieved, but Li Lian still underestimated the strength of the Misaka team, resulting in the attrition of the team.
This is not a strategic mistake, but a blind spot caused by the lack of intelligence, Li Lian understands this very well, and it is this that Yanzi uses to comfort Li Lian.
But knowing is knowing, but it is impossible to truly know, Li Lian is burdened with the heaviness of Anna's death.
——
"Foggy? It's kind of quirky. "Draw your sword in your hand.
An eerie mist evaporated from the rotting forest, and within a few minutes, the mist was as thick as glue, and the temperature plummeted, and it felt like it had suddenly turned from the middle of summer to the middle of winter.
A few red shadows flickered in the mist, gradually approaching from a distance, and when they saw clearly, they found that they were several bewitching women with fiery red skin.
They dance in the mist, showing graceful dancing postures, which makes people subconsciously want to get close. In Li Lian's perception, this kind of carving insect skill was meaningless.
"Yunche!"
The soul sounded out of the sheath, and the two goblins were killed in an instant, but what came out of their seemingly beautiful skin was a green smelly liquid, like the ** of some kind of insect, which made people feel extremely disgusting. A strange and terrifying roar rang out from the depths of the mist, and half of the elf's body was dragged back by a black tentacle.
"Mortal! You are looking for death! ”
With slurred words, a huge toad pounced out of the mist. Their mouths occupy more than two-thirds of their bodies, and their fiery red skin is just like that goblin just now. The difference is that the elf is just two tentacles that grow on the head of "Dagon", and these tentacles can transform into a woman's form to confuse the prey. If the enemy is distracted in any way by the two bewitching women, then Dagon's body will take the opportunity to devour the prey.
The Dagon clan is good at hunting in this way, when the prey and the fairy tentacles are "having fun", they find that they find a big old toad eating into their mouths, and what is even more cheating is that the goblin who makes himself * is just the tentacles on the head of this toad.
That's a ...... Chilling hunting methods.
But of course, Li Lian, who knows everything from the original book, doesn't care about a heavy-tasting monster like Dagon at all. In the final analysis, this kind of hunting method can only deal with ordinary people who have not been determined. The four members of the Inspiration Team didn't have the slightest idea of communicating with each other about this ugly thing, and almost at the moment when Dagon appeared, all kinds of tricks beckoned him.
"Yunche!"
"Vulcan Cannon!"
"Purple Mang Sword Qi!"
"Wind Spirit Summoning!"
This Dagon was divided by four people without any power to fight back, and the stench coming out of the blood and ** made Li Lian frown.
"If it weren't for the sake of getting that weapon, I wouldn't want to go to this boss to attack......" Tsumiko covered her nose very unpleasantly.
The three demon lords guard the three demon gates along with the human world, but judging from the plot, they also correspond to three demon weapons, and these weapons are what the war ghosts need most at this time. As long as the war ghost absorbs those demonic weapons, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness. To tell the truth, the current weapons in the "armed fusion" of the war ghost are simply weak, and they are completely cheap.
With the death of one Gon, the stench inevitably attracts more Gon.
Countless excited red tentacles loomed in the mist, and judging by the number, there were probably hundreds. The reason why Dagon is notorious among demons is also related to their terrifying numbers. Normal high-level demons in the demon realm are rarely inhabited in groups, and most of those high-level demons have a brutal and withdrawn personality. However, Dagon is different, he is one of the highest-level demons in his own right, and he also likes to haunt in groups, which makes Dagon's clan almost able to walk sideways in the demon world. No one can afford to provoke it, whether it is in strength or psychology.
"Rush over and find Baal directly." Li Lian said lightly, and rushed forward first.
The Warrior and the War Ghost followed closely behind, and all kinds of internal qi erupted out, killing a bloody path from the Dagon group. Wrong...... It should be said that it is the road of stench.
Tsuneko felt that she was about to become numb, and that she had to take a shower for ten hours after this battle......
Under the edge of the three of them, it is impossible for ordinary Dagon to stop them, the question is whether they can fight quickly, if the time drags on too long, they can't compare to those toads in terms of recovery ability. Most of the reincarnators are like this, their explosive power is amazing, even monsters that are much stronger than themselves can be easily killed in seconds, but the internal qi in their whole body is often only enough to put a few ultimates, and a little protracted battle will not work at all.
Li Lian and the three of them are not extreme, the kind of reincarnation who specializes in desperate tricks may use the internal qi of the whole body in an attack, either you die or I die. It's naturally easy to use for other reincarnators, but it's embarrassing for these big guys who win by numbers.
At this point, Chizuru's ability finally came to the fore, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned an army of wind spirits, which in turn completely tore through Dagon's blockade with a greater numerical advantage.
"Well done!" Li Lian smiled slightly, and put the little Qianhe, who was a little out of breath, on his shoulder.
Chizuru's little feet swayed in his ears, and his huge spiritual power continued to replenish the wear and tear of the wind spirits, and those Dagon were also killed and injured under the siege of this wind spirit army. Although the wind spirit is not as strong as the high-level demon, the physical immunity still has a big advantage, and the wind blade used by the wind spirit to attack can kill Dagon very well.
"Lian ......" Li Lian looked at Li Lian, who was carrying a coffin on his back, and there was a Lori sitting on the coffin. A mouthful of groove rose to the edge of his mouth and swallowed again......
Uncle War Ghost is holding the Vulcan Cannon with non-stop bullets in his right arm, and his left arm is carrying the halberd barrier, and whenever the monster approaches, he directly slaps his shield away. For these disgusting guys, the war ghosts are also completely uninterested in melee combat.
The attack power of the war ghost is still too weak. Li Lian thought in his heart, the current strength of the war ghost is very embarrassing, and if he does not make further breakthroughs, it will become the weakness of the Inspiration team.
The current implied team structure has become reasonable, and Li Lian, as an all-rounder, is also the strongest person in the team. As an assassin, Tsuneko is the most explosive character in the team, and as long as the enemy is not careful, he can easily be killed by Tsuneko in an instant; As the main frontal force, the war ghost needs to have a strong survivability and be able to resist the enemy's attack in any environment, which the current war ghost cannot do; And Anna, as a powerful magic battery, can exert even more than Li Lian's combat power as long as someone protects her; As a summoner, Chizuru's army of wind spirits has an advantage that others cannot match when dealing with group battles; Finally, the Messiah's Light abilities and inherent enchantments can have the effect of controlling the field.
Li Lian couldn't help but glance at the coffin on his back, where there ...... It was Anna's body that lay down.
"The Gospels, the ...... of the Passion of Christ"
The Messiah's strongest conceptual magic borrows the allusion of "Jesus crucifixes to save the world" in the holy scriptures, and under that powerful magic, Anna's life will undoubtedly be saved.
However, the Son of the Crucifixion had only one ending in the end – being crucified.
The coffin was formed after the disintegration of the Messiah and became Anna's protective shell, and it took a week for Anna to recover from it.
Li Lian couldn't imagine Anna waking up and asking about his brother's whereabouts, especially if she asked her until the end. But to be honest, Li Lian did want to sacrifice the Messiah and not Anna, because Anna's ability is absolutely indispensable to the Inspiration Team, but the Messiah is not. And the deeper reason...... It was Li Lian's inexplicable throbbing of Anna.
Li Lian's cold state of mind will only be shaken by a few people, but the Messiah is unfortunately not included in it, so even if he is disgusted by the resurrected Anna, Li Lian will not regret the choice he made.

1. "Dagon" is the leader of the deep divers in the Cthulhu mythos, and God knows how to connect with "Baal" in Solomon's Seventy-two Demon Gods......
2. The name of Devil May Cry's equipment is really painful, gilgamesh Gilgamesh...... It can't be complained about......
