Chapter 238: The End of All Parties

In the tunnel of bones, the resurgence of evil spirits is the most common obstacle encountered by each battle group.

Shortly after Kane and his party broke through the first node, the Wizard Battle Team in Sectors 4, 5, and 15 also entered one after another.

The wizards of these combat teams are mainly from four groups, first of all, native French wizards, including members of the Aurors Division of the French Ministry of Magic, who have already lost a lot of money in the early operations, and more than fifty wizards have been lost to the capital of the dead.

This is not a small number, you must know that even if there are 3,000 more French wizards than English wizards, it is only a little over 10,000, and all the Aurors combined, there are less than 200 people.

The second group is the International Federation of Magic, nearly 100 people, forming five combat teams, one is a reserve team for emergency support, and four action teams are directly entered, and they occupy the relatively small area of 15 districts.

The third group is the International Wizarding Association, which is a union-like, club-like organization with small departments such as research, adventure, manufacturing, and other university-like interest clubs, with the top head of the association being the president. Dumbledore was currently in charge, and he was there this time.

Nicholas Flamelmel, the maker of the Philosopher's Stone, was a Frenchman and a good friend of Dumbledore, and Dumbledore couldn't sit idly by for this friendship.

This situation is not uncommon, and it can even be said that the presence of the Wizards Association this time is mainly the foreign friends of the French wizards.

The fourth group is the bounty wizards, many of whom have not yet taken off their armor or left Europe, not long after the 100,000 wizards captured Grindelwald.

To put it bluntly, many Europeans and Americans have a master who can't wait to spend money, enjoy life when they have money, and find a way to find a way if they don't have money, and they are very chic.

The bounty was not spent, and they lingered in the lights of the bustling city, never leaving the scene.

Recently, the people of the French Ministry of Magic have been in a hurry to get gray hair just because these bounty wizards have gone to secular circles to play drunkenness, madness, jealousy, and other bad things.

Well, this time, pay them to do something serious.

As for how much money the French Ministry of Magic spent on this, few outsiders know, but I heard that some of them have been imprisoned for their bad behavior and are awaiting the verdict of the Wizengamot Circuit Court, and they have also been released to participate in the war this time.

It is worth mentioning that the Holy See also sent a team this time. From a squadron of the Holy Cross, more than three hundred people.

Unlike the witch hunters with the sword and blood cross, the emblem of the Holy Cross is a golden three-leaf cross, also known as a bud cross, and the three-leaf at the top of the cross symbolizes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

If the witch hunters are equivalent to the anti-terrorist forces, the Holy Cross is about equal to the field army, the main armed force of the Holy See, they are different from the cathars, the cathars are equivalent to the second-line troops, police, and security, and the main enemy of the Holy Cross is the devil.

Normally, they will not be dispatched, there are exorcists in each diocese, and there are also rapid reaction forces similar to SAT, which need to be used, which is similar to this Hellgate incident in the capital of the undead, or the more famous Innsmouth Town incident in Cthulhu, which is already considered a large-scale military operation.

The Holy Crosses entered through secular official channels, and they covered the most complex of the 5 districts.

One of the main reasons for this positivity is the purpose of the Holy See, that all other gods are not allowed to do anything extraordinary in the diocese, otherwise they will do it. From this point of view, the Blood God Cult is a taboo, even more taboo than the blasphemous Black Mass.

The common black Mass in the world is basically a blind tossing without real materials, or indulgent things under the guise of mystery. This is generally managed by secular officials, and at most under the guidance of consultants.

But the Blood God Cult plays this kind of thing, really believes and really has supernatural powers, this is not good, there is no discussion, catch one and kill the other.

Secondly, the Holy See and the Key will be mortal enemies.

The source of this hatred came from the Holy See wiping the butt of the Seraphic Angel Rachel El. At least that's what the Holy See itself thinks.

The first generation of Seraphs did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and Rachel El was one of them, and the technique of Rachel El caused many messes, such as the birth of "Solomon's Key", and this mysterious book that describes the weaknesses of the Seventy-two Demon God Pillars and the methods of summoning them has been rubbed in at least 1,000 copies.

The source of the power of the Key Society is the "Key of Solomon", and it is impossible to know whether it is in possession of the true canon or a fake book (similar to a translation with insufficient translation, errors and omissions, affecting the success rate, etc.).

The Holy See burned one of these forbidden books.

To be fair, the transcendent throne of the Holy See is not easy to sit on. Let's just say that these rubbings of Solomon's Key rarely exist as complete texts, but as fragments.

These secret texts all have their own extraordinary powers, which are difficult to carry on ordinary paper, and they are all recorded on special paper, and it is not easy to destroy them. And these fragments are scattered everywhere, often causing supernatural incidents, especially in modern times, the people's education level has generally improved, there are libraries to check materials, and there are also the Internet, and there are often little experts in death to do things, and in the end, it is generally the people of the Holy See who come forward.

Therefore, the Secret Key Society, the Blood God Sect, this combination of appearance, the Holy See is bound to come out.

The last combat force comes from the secular army, and it is impossible for the official to turn a blind eye to such a big thing, except for peripheral tasks such as blockade and isolation, the official also requires participation in specific operations.

GIGN was understaffed, and a special air service regiment was added. This unit belongs to the Air Force, parachutes, and is an elite commando unit that participated in World War II and has a glorious history.

The Air Force mainly cooperated with the French Ministry of Magic and the Aurors of the International Confederation of Magic, and secondarily worked with the hired wizards.

The GIGN and members of the Wizarding Guild, including Dumbledore and Kane, all belong to this category.

Of course, the situation on Kane's side is a bit special, he and his team's combat effectiveness are superb, and from the perspective of wizards, I feel a little awkward, unconventional, especially the old-fashioned British, who feel very non-mainstream.

But from a secular point of view, it definitely belongs to the combination of fantasy, in the words of a military expert: it is simply a perfect combination of technology and magic, a fantasy-level combat unit.

In this era, the concept of 'land warriors' in Europe and the United States has been established, according to its concept, the ultimate stage of the digital army is the land warriors, and the land warriors are then promoted, which are planetary pioneers, which are both armored suits and space suits, used for interstellar colonization, space exploration and planetary exploration.

And Kane's guards, especially the Blackguard's performance at Heathrow, is tantamount to achieving this centennial goal ahead of schedule. Individual combat strength is extremely strong, which is very much in line with the idea of elite and technological military promoted by the Cold War mentality.

It can be said that the blackguard's performance made the rulers of various countries drool, and this time Kane brought a secondary army, and they were also extremely concerned and wanted to see its performance.

Kane also generously took the initiative to invite members of the military and the Ministry of Magic, and there was also a killing weapon such as live broadcast.

It is now 1990, and the United States, which is the leader in technology, cannot come up with such sharp means, especially in the case of high-energy interference, not only live broadcasting, but also observing extraordinary powers, and the practical value behind this series of technologies is outrageous.

Not to mention the secular magnates whose ideas lead the times, even the wizard magnates are also hot-eyed.

So this operation has become a practical combat test from a certain point of view, and secular forces, traditional wizard powers, papal powers, and new wizard powers have all appeared on the scene, each showing its own means.

All forces have been harassed by evil spirits.

The appearance of a large number of evil spirits indicates that although the gates of hell have not yet been completely opened, there must be cracks.

These monsters are like volcanic ash wrapped in lava, and like hot ash burned by a charcoal fire in the later stages, the surface is solid, the inside is plasma, and the light is projected through the cracks, giving people a scorching and calm feeling.

One of their abilities is to flicker, much like the black magic 'Blackwing Lingyun', a billowing black smoke that flies around, but faster and with more momentum.

Evil spirits are a mixture of energy and matter, and they are always instinctively trying to better exist in this material world based on the shell of life.

Generally speaking, they like to take the human body, because its will comes from the human soul, and the human body will make them instinctively accustomed to it, and it is easy to control.

If there is no suitable human body to lodge, corpses and bones will also be their preferred choice, especially those like the City of the Undead that have been eroded by the rich dark power for a long time.

The action teams were harassed by the evil spirits of bones, and these monsters with dry bones as their torsos and hot ashes as their flesh and blood appeared in groups and attacked frantically.

They are not afraid of death, and they are also very difficult to die, mainly because the geography of the Necropolis is too favorable for them, and unless they can be killed quickly, they can recover quickly.

And the biggest headache for the combat teams is that there are bones everywhere, and evil spirits can stand up anywhere.

The long snake formation is often harassed from the flanks, and those evil spirits fly directly to the middle of the team, pounce on the bones on the side of the road, and then follow them, the bone spirits will take shape and attack those nearby.

This makes it very difficult for the team to advance, no one can move forward with peace of mind, and everyone needs a surprise attack from their side.

In fact, the Auror team that was the first to carry out the mission was killed by this endless melee attack.

To this end, the personnel of this operation were equipped with battle axes specially blessed with magic potions. And whether it's an enchantment potion or a battle axe, it's all from the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce.

It is difficult for ordinary wizard merchants to provide low-level magic artifacts with large quantities and high quality, and the output has always been the advantage of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce.

Even so, the members of the clan must be killed quickly in the short time that the evil spirit is possessed, otherwise it is very likely that they will fall into the quagmire of chaotic warfare and will not be able to advance or retreat.

Once that happens, in addition to the great consumption of combat power, it will also consume important magical items that it carries.

For example, the team of the Holy Cross Legion, shortly after entering the tunnel, attracted a large number of evil spirits, and had to use the Holy Light Blessing Scroll to relieve the siege.

Even if it is this kind of holy relic full of light power, in the environment of the City of the Dead, the effect will be much reduced, but the relatively closed structure makes the energy catharsis form a torrent, and the range is wider.

When a scroll is used, the Holy Light energy can disintegrate the evil spirits in the tunnel hundreds of meters away, turning them into ashes in the wave of Holy White Energy.

In contrast, wizards also need to use similar range strikes from time to time to advance, they will be very injured by the evil spirit, even if the iron armor spell or the like can protect it for a while, but the evil spirit's blow is with physical characteristics, one claw to fly, fall a rolling gourd, or become a hanging painting, even if the person is fine, the queue will inevitably become chaotic.

One or two can still be suppressed, and if the evil spirits revive too much on the flanks of the queue, it will create a situation where it is impossible to kill, and at this time, only range magic can resolve the crisis.

"Purifying Light!" Dumbledore once again cast the light range magic, and the evil spirits close to him directly turned into flying ashes, while the distant ones were driven away from the host body in the shock wave, at this time, the nearby wizards hurriedly mended their knives: "energy disintegration" or "evil energy collapse", and the evil spirits were basically finished.

In this environment, Dumbledore was also constrained, such as not daring to use flames, which would harm others, and the violent burning would cause severe oxygen consumption.

For the ordinary officers and soldiers who accompanied the team, they were also incarnated as soldiers in the era of cold weapons wielding glowing battle axes to slash, or using glowing shields for protection, firearms are basically decorations, dealing with evil spirits, and demon-breaking bullets are not very useful, of course, high-level energy bullets, such as warheads are demon-slaying bullets made of holy light energy crystals, it is still okay, but they can't afford it, it's too expensive.

In contrast, Kane's side is another situation, when the demons encounter them, they can't launch a flank attack, one end and the other, they can't break through the defense line at all, even if there is an occasional fork in the road, there will be someone who will take care of it, so that the demons can't break through, Farlilu and Haken are doing this, the middle defense, and the rear of the palace.

As for the largest number, it can be called the front of the swarm, how many come and die.

The cone-shaped energy absorption effect in front of the magic lamp is like a black hole sucking things to form a nearly visible flow beam effect, whether it is from the tunnel or from the evil spirit, as long as it is negative energy, it will be deprived of extremely exaggerated efficiency.

The evil spirits that rushed over were really like the hot ashes in the wind, and the lava-like light contained in them quickly cooled and turned into scattered sparks, disappearing without a trace. They were all taken alive and died.

Even if the bones are located far away, it is useless, and if you can't stand for even two seconds, you will be sucked and scattered all over the ground as bones again.
