Chapter 243: The Beginning of the Battle

The Nair Continent is carrying out reforms on the burning ground, and Ciri and Seaman are also working hard to develop the [Level 4 Intelligence Core Sequence]. At the same time, in the Eye of Vito plane, the Divine Grace Realm has begun a tentative attack on the Wizarding Realm.

Compared to the magical world's perception of the charismatic realm, the gods and churches in the charismatic realm know very little about the real situation in the magical world.

They proclaimed the wizarding world to be the demon realm, and called the Eye of Vito the Endless Abyss. But in fact, because they didn't pay attention to the situation with the magical world before, so the two worlds have been connected for so many years, and most of them are the magical world's tentative investigations of the divine grace world. The other party didn't know much about the actual situation except that the so-called demon world was full of magicians and some other legendary monsters.

The gods can seem very stupid at times, but most of the time they are still very smart as long as they are not influenced by their beliefs too much. Of course, they would not rush directly into the wizarding world, and the gods and the church chose to carry out a small tentative attack first to see how powerful the new world really was.

Because this is a joint action of all the gods and churches in the entire Divine Grace Realm, even a small-scale attack is very powerful.

There are two main types of ecclesiastical armed forces, one is the missionary and the other is the papal knights. The number of papal knights far outnumbered the number of missionaries due to their low requirements. When fighting, a missionary is often protected by several knights, and then forms a small group to attack together.

The knight is responsible for protecting the missionary's safety, and the missionary will perform a large number of buff-type magic spells to greatly increase the knight's strength. Papal Knights generally do not possess ranged strikes, so they need to get close to their opponents quickly in order to be effective. At the same time, the knight's ability to resist blows is very strong, and the melee ability is very strong.

Missionaries are somewhat similar to mages in their combat style, with the exception of buff-based magic, which they also have powerful ranged attacks. However, the missionaries did not perform magic, but the product of a mixture of faith and spiritual power with a little magic, which they called "divine magic".

The City of the End has not yet cracked the secrets of the divine arts, but has only investigated some of the characteristics of the divine arts.

Since the Divine Magic System was made by the gods in imitation of the original Arcanist's magic web, it also has some characteristics of the magic web of the Divine Grace Realm. The manifestation of the missionary is that the magic is cast very quickly, which can be regarded as instantaneous compared to magic, and it is very powerful, and there is no need for casting materials.

Of course, the system of divine arts is not perfect, in fact, since the gods need to firmly control the clergy, the gods cannot complete the magic by the clergy alone. In order to make every clergy realize the preciousness and hard-won nature of divine magic, the missionaries practiced the magic position of the legal system.

Specifically, missionaries and other clergy do not need to learn the principles of divine arts, they only need to pray to the gods and prepare step by step, they will be given a certain number of divine abilities by the gods.

As long as the magic and mental power of a mage in the wizarding world are not exhausted, the number of spells cast is theoretically unlimited. Divine arts, on the other hand, have a strict hierarchy for missionaries and papal knights (described in detail earlier), and there is also a clear hierarchy for divine arts.

The total number of divine spells that can be cast by each level of clergy is limited, generally 5-10 divine spells of the corresponding level, and each higher level of divine magic can be replaced by five lower level divine arts. This rule is not constant, the more advanced the divine arts, the longer the recovery time, and some powerful divine spells even take a month to recover the divine magic level and use it again.

The types of magic spells are also much less than the types of spells that cannot be calculated at all. In order to create a new kind of magic, in addition to conforming to the original rules, the most important thing is to obtain the approval of the gods. The entire divine system is under the control of the gods, including the promotion of rank and title, so the vast majority of priests will not spend too much effort on cultivation, but will try their best to please the gods.

If you don't have a magic position, even if your mental power is strong enough, you can't use any magic anymore. Clergy have a stronger ability to burst out in a short period of time than mages, but their staying power is completely incomparable. Therefore, the attacks of the missionaries and the knights of the Holy See were carried out in batches, and they would not squander all their forces at once unless they had a chance of victory.

Divine magic also has its superior side, it belongs to a combination of non-pure natural energy, so most mages are relatively weak in resistance to divine magic. Although the resistance of the clergy to spells is much lower than that of normal mages, it is still much stronger than the resistance of mages to magic spells.

In addition, once a mage is invaded by divine energy, it will take a lot of time to remove the faith and spirit contained in it from the body, otherwise these two forces will always linger in the mage's body, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The first wave of attacks by the Church of Divine Grace and the United Expeditionary Corps dealt a severe blow to the defenders of the City of the End. Many of the newly recruited defensive mages weren't quite comfortable with the fast, ferocious spellcasting cadence of the clergy.

Despite the repeated emphasis on the nature of divine arts, there are still many mages who have been tricked. These mages did not die directly, but due to the invasion of divine power, they had no combat ability, so they could only be transferred to the rear to be helped by some logistics personnel to eliminate the faith and spiritual power contained in the divine magic.

It didn't take long or much effort for the Divine Grace Realm Expeditionary Legion to quickly occupy the area around the passage connecting the two realms. They have set up a large number of portals in the occupied area to serve as a means of transporting people.

Because there is no research atmosphere, the level of spatial technology in the Divine Grace Realm is very low, and these portals are actually built with the help of the power of the gods, and if the Magical Realm organizes personnel to carry out a breakthrough attack, it can be easily destroyed.

However, the city of the end did not do this, the area around the connecting passage was originally a buffer zone deliberately placed for the other party in the plan, and the real fortifications were behind, but the city of the end did not expect that the Divine Grace Realm would make a large number of defensive mages lose their combat effectiveness.

As more and more clergy passed through portals, the Expeditionary Legion began to build temporary quarters in place, and large quantities of materials flowed through portals.

After the increase in manpower, the expeditionary corps began to resist the attack again. This time, the rewards of the gods included the tempting promise of a number of divine slots at all levels and a direct increase in personal level, and the members who made a contribution during the first wave of attacks were quickly rewarded, much to the attention of the newcomers.

The Expeditionary Legion repelled the first group of "evil mages" who were defending, making them think that the Demon Realm was no more than that. Without anyone urging them, the vanguard of the expeditionary corps had already adjusted their condition and started the second wave of the attack.

However, after the second wave of attacks began, they discovered the horror of the "Demon Realm"!
