Chapter 389: Nellis's Cunning (Part I)
[There are two more watches, during New Year's Day. Let's not have a holiday, before the end of the month, it's best to make up for a change, remember to have four shifts on New Year's Day, too tired, can't get it]
What the gods convey to the Pope is an oracle. The Holy War waged by the Pope is carried out in the name of the gods. Because the power of the oracle was separated, and the Pope and the Inquisition formed a three-legged situation, the oracle conveyed by the Pope was questioned by the oracles.
Therefore, this holy war, the power of the oracle, did not cooperate with the Pope's arrangement. Instead, it was the Inquisition, which sent a large number of troops, including blood knights, jailers. However, the Inquisition did not dispatch many black butlers and adjudicators, and the black-clothed priests in the strikers did not have a high status in the Inquisition.
The cardinals weren't much surprised by the death of the black-clad priests, the two cardinals were surprised by the appearance of the demon legion. If it's dozens or hundreds of demons, there's nothing strange about it. Because there will still be bold mages who dare to summon demons, and it is not uncommon for demons to appear on the continent of Mels.
The problem is that the Demon Legion, a formed legion, is commanded by officers, arranged in complex formations, and cooperates with each other, and this is a serious problem.
In the demon army, there is an extremely powerful demon, wielding a giant spear, slaughtering the blood knights. The two cardinals glanced at each other, nodded, and let the holy knights who were guarding them move forward, slowly approaching the tall demon.
This demon was created by Neris with the ultimate transfiguration technique, and its own strength is not as good as that of the great demon. The cardinals couldn't see it, they decided to kill the leader of this demon, otherwise that demon would cause great damage to the blood knight, and the fearless blood knight could not even charge, but could only bypass the sides of this demon and fight with the demon legion behind.
The Blood Knight has no advantage over the demons. The demons are much stronger than the blood knights in terms of strength and defense, and Saleen is the army of ten thousand demons. The armor equipped is all a level of Demon God Flying Armor, but it has weakened eighty percent of its flight ability. After all, he didn't need a flying legion now, and the running and marching of the demons was already very fast.
The demon that changed into the image of the demon god was in front, and behind him were more than a hundred powerful demons, as if they were his own soldiers, blocking attacks on both sides for him, so that this huge demon could move forward and completely disrupt the formation of the blood knight. The Blood Knight has no speed, and three or five can't beat a demon.
The cardinal slowly approached, the attack range of the divine art, and magic, is about the same, but the attenuation effect of the divine art, faster than magic, generally speaking, the attack distance of the magician, theoretically the same as the divine art, but the attack power is greater, only within a hundred meters. The decay of the magic is not too obvious. This refers to the intermediate divine arts, the eighth-level divine magicians, who are already able to use high-level divine arts, and their attack distance is more than two hundred meters, and only the alchemy crossbow can threaten their safety, and ordinary bows and arrows are powerless.
The demons at the head were keenly aware of the danger, these demons were not very intelligent, and their brains were destroyed by the summoning magic array, but their instincts were even stronger. The actions of the two cardinals did not hide from the demons in the slightest.
More than four hundred undead knights were interspersed among the demons, and they were also approaching the two cardinals. The magic wand in Neris's hand was clenched, and she was less and less influenced by Salin, and now, she could activate the eighth level of undead magic. This is her advantage over the demons, she can use her mental power to complete the stored magic, and no matter how strong the demons' mental power is, they can't do this.
A cardinal's hand unfolded a scroll of divine magic, and the dazzling light lit up, and in the sky, the thick clouds were diluted, and a huge divine text swirled in the air, illuminating the earth. Everywhere there was blood, corpses, broken weapons, grass trampled into mud.
As soon as the distance of two hundred meters was reached, the cardinal laid out a sacred area. The strength of the believers of the gods has greatly increased, and the effect of divine magic has also been strengthened by more than two percent.
The tall demon roared wildly, and suddenly turned sideways and ran to the side, and the demons around him followed, saying nothing to enter the enveloping area of the sacred area. The same is true of the demon legion behind, the demons divide their forces on both sides, bypass the sacred area, and storm south.
The cardinal was stunned, the sacred area didn't have much striking force, it was just a preparation. Demons are not evil creatures, and their strength will not be reduced if they are in the sacred area. However, these demons bypassed the divine control range of more than four hundred meters, which was simply ......
At this time, something happened that made the cardinal even more stunned, and hundreds of undead knights rushed over.
Generally speaking, when the undead enter this area, their attributes will drop by at least half, and the powerful undead will also drop by more than two percent.
This is incomprehensible madness, and the undead knight himself has a low intelligence. will avoid such areas that are not conducive to the survival of the undead.
The cardinal's gaze fell on one of the necromancers among the undead knights.
The cardinal was a little choked, it was a beautiful female necromancer, holding a green magic wand in her hand, sandwiched between the undead knights, and approached him.
What a beautiful woman! If you were to reform, purify, and subdue her, and become a believer under your seat, what would ......
The two eighth-level cardinals were in an instant. At the same time, he was seduced by Neris. In a split second, Neris's magic staff was raised, aimed at one of the cardinals.
Even Neris didn't know what it meant, her mental power didn't need the cooperation of spells at all, it was just a show anyway.
Gray magical light lit up, and on the ground, within the scope of the sacred area, thousands of tentacles broke through the ground and attacked upward. Hundreds of jailers were entwined at the same time, and more purple tentacles, wrapped around and curled towards the two cardinals.
The black armor of the jailers wrapped in purple tentacles rattled, and the undead knights rushed forward, using the gray bone spears in their hands to accurately insert the gaps in the jailers' armor.
Enchantment is not an uncommon ability, and even some demons use magic with seductive attributes. It's just that Neris charmed two eighth-level cardinals, even if it's only for an instant, it's enough to be proud.
Such a brief pause, eighth-level undead magic, death flurry. Those purple tentacles have strong paralyzing properties and can also drain the target's life. The jailer's armor wasn't torn, but the undead knights' powerful impact allowed the bone spears to pierce their eyes without hindrance.
"Damn!"
The cardinals felt a strong sense of shame in their hearts, and they actually received the charm of a necromancer, allowing the other party to calmly attack his men.
Word!
One of the cardinals briefly recited the prayer, and then his hands folded together, releasing a wave of holy light, and a powerful divine power swept towards the undead knight, and another magician silently released a spiritual paralysis.
Mental paralysis, directed at Neris. Unexpectedly, Naris threw a piece of obsidian in advance, which exploded in the air, releasing a huge undead stand-in, which had no attack power and had only one effect. It's to take an attack instead of Neris.
If it's a physical attack, this undead stand-in is very fragile, but a mental attack can't penetrate it. The paralysis was completely applied to this undead substitute. The undead stand-in immediately went berserk, and Neris lost control of the double. The undead stand-in screamed and ran ahead, still attacking the tentacled jailer.
Its attack power was so pitiful that the jailer, who had no ability to resist, was slapped by the huge palm of the undead stand-in, and the palm shattered, and the sharp howl of the undead stand-in became even stronger, and even affected the prayer recited by the magician.
Mental paralysis is a high-level divine technique, and its effect on magicians is very obvious, and it is even better than the silence technique. After all, mages don't need to chant spells to activate magic in items such as scrolls and magic wands. The forbidden spell, the main interrupting magician's powerful magic, many high-level magic, even if you are the most proficient in learning, cannot be instantaneous, let alone silent.
Mental paralysis can make the magician's mental power temporarily out of control, and no high-level magic can be successfully completed. The problem is that Neris throws an undead stand-in in advance, not an undead guardian.
Psychic paralysis can penetrate most magical shields, including the extremely hard defenses of the Ice Armor. However, this magic is a single attack, which cannot be continuously controlled, and after being attracted by the undead stand-in, Naris rushed up unharmed.
Using low-level magic to destroy high-level magic skills, her combat skills are very similar to Salin's. This is not a gamble, anyway, her own defense is extremely high, and the enemy's magic skills are impossible to kill her instantly.
Nerice's magic wand can store two spells, which is the role of high-level equipment, and ordinary magic wands can only store one magic spell, and they cannot be re-stored for a short time after use. Naris raised her magic staff, but instead of releasing the undead magic, she took a scroll from her leather bag with her other hand and slammed it the head of the skeleton warhorse.
The scroll shattered, and cyan flames erupted from the skeleton warhorse's body, and the soul fire burned violently, spitting out from its eye sockets. Black flames also appeared under the feet of the skeleton war horse, and the speed suddenly increased several times, and the bones on the body could not withstand such a large force, and cracks appeared.
The power of the low-level undead instantly increased to that of the middle-level undead, and the skeleton war horse would definitely not survive for ten minutes. The corners of Nellis's mouth curled up, and her smile was like that of Salin. What she wants is the illusion of an enemy, she is not a necromancer, but a pure little demon - Lologaro.
The physical fitness of the magician is far worse than that of the mage, and the fate of being close to the demon can be imagined. Neris was a little proud, and the skeleton warhorse soared into the air, and the huge hooves of the horse with black flames stepped towards the cardinal on the left.
