Chapter 44: Illusion
Demons come from the abyss. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It was a brutal alien plane filled with fire and lava, and it didn't originally belong to Aetletta, but since the elven princess sacrificed their World Tree, the Abyss has been connected to the Mediterranean Sea in the middle of Atletta. Finally, at the end of the Abyss War, the legendary god of law (demigod) [Rift] El Lohenglin and the queen of the elven clan [Whisperer of the Forest] Catherine sealed the connection of the Mediterranean Sea with the remains of the World Tree, and the [Whisperer of the Forest] sacrificed his own life to reawaken the vitality of the World Tree, and used the power of the World Tree's growth to stabilize the seal for generations.
After that, the remnants of the demons on the continent were hunted down by various races.
Note that demons are immortal beings, but that doesn't mean they won't die. In fact, with the exception of black eyes without the whites of the eyes and shark-like teeth, demons are essentially the same as humans, except that they possess eternal life, powerful physiques, and strange magic.
The character of the demon is insidious and cunning, crazy and brutal, advocating blood and lust, they have no society, but they have class, and the higher the rank, the stronger the demon. However, please don't confuse the logic of demons, the principle of demons dividing classes is not power, but madness, and the reason why the higher their rank, the stronger their strength is because the more crazy demons are, the better they live.
By the way, a mage once mentioned that the extreme distortion of demons is caused by their eternal life, and even the harsh abyss may be transformed by demons, and the mage used this to oppose the mainstream idea of pursuing eternal life, and also said that demons are the extreme manifestations of immortal people, of course, some people believe this, but most of the powerful people scoff at it.
Finally, let's talk about the reproduction of demons, demons do not reproduce sexually, and there is no asexual reproduction - that may be the price of eternal life, most of the demons hatch in the magma of the abyss, which is a very long, very small way of reproduction, since these demons invaded Aetraetta, they have discovered a new method of reproduction.
It's a similar way to the first embrace of vampires (blood elves), who find demonic believers who have gone crazy and then pour water from the abyss into them to create new demons.
After a round of hunting, the remnants of the demons who managed to hide on the continent did not give up, and while they secretly developed their crazy demon sect, they used their abyssal spring water to create new demons, and when the abyssal spring water ran out, they used their own blood to create inferior demons. For thousands of years, they have silently gathered their strength, waiting for the day when the gates of the abyss will be reopened, and the demon army will be brought in to turn this beautiful and rich Aitleta into a new abyss.
Strictly speaking, Maffei William is an inferior demon created by a later blood-feeding method, but even so, she is still an enemy that Jack and others will not be able to defeat.
――――
It was as if endless bone spurs were smashing down towards the five with the sound of the wind.
Hugo appeared in front of the four of them in a flash, his body lit up with arcane brilliance, and the surging magic power (Dou Qi) activated his bloodline skill [Wind Barrier (Four Rings)].
The transparent wind swept up in front of everyone, but it only resisted part of the bone spurs, and many more bone spurs followed closely after them penetrated Hugo's barrier. His face was solemn, and the sword in his hand danced rapidly, picking aside all the bone spurs that came close.
Although it was only the magic of the three rings, Hugo might only need to use half of his strength to block one, but the number of bone spurs that could not be held up was too large, and there were people behind him, so he couldn't dodge sideways. In an instant, at least hundreds of bone spurs smashed down almost at the same time, and when he narrowly blocked them all, he was already sweating profusely, and his hands were trembling slightly.
The constant blocking made his muscles tired.
The smoke cleared, and unlike Jack's embarrassment, Muffy's face was still ruddy, and her eerie smile showed her ease.
Hugo's heart was very heavy, he was not afraid of the three-ring magic, but he was afraid of the strength of Mafei that was revealed through these magics, at least the six-ring mage could instantly use the three-ring spell, plus this terrible magic power, even if it was consumed, the other party could keep them here through endless low-level spells - the situation was really not good.
Unlike Hugo's heaviness, Jack, who had already been frightened, was in a state of sanity at this time after rebooting, and no one came to Mafei just now, obviously, she had done something to stop the other guards, so now there was only a fight? Jack calmly observed his surroundings, thinking about and analyzing their odds.
At this time, his own magic power has just recovered one-fiftieth of it, which is not enough to open the [World], obviously, the only thing he can rely on now is the gun, in addition to the [Imitation Tiger-T107], he also has the [Forest Bear-47] in his space ring, which is a weapon that can also pose a threat to the fifth-level knight, if it is a relatively weak magician, he may be able to win.
That being said, Jack still needed some confirmation, and as soon as he thought of it, he took out the pistol from the spatial ring again. As soon as the smoke cleared, he had already picked up the pistol in his hand and shot the bullet directly at Muffy.
Five bullets swirled and pierced the air, aiming at Maffei's head.
The first one was blocked by a rising [Bone Shield (Three Rings)], but it was not a magic shield of the protection school after all, so it shattered after blocking a bullet, and the second bullet was offset by a protruding [bone spur], and the third was blocked by the [Shield (Four Rings)] inspired by Muffy's clothes, this shield was very strong, and it disappeared after blocking the fourth bullet, and then, to everyone's surprise, the fifth bullet hit Muffy's head.
A bloody hole was pierced in her forehead.
"How...... How could it be ......" Muffy retracted all her smiles, her eyes widened, and she muttered in amazement, "Is it ...... I...... I'm going to...... Dead ......"
Seeing this scene, everyone took a deep breath.
But before they could exhale the breath, Muffy's body suddenly returned to its original state with laughter.
"HAAAAAAY!" said the ghostly smile on Muffy's face as she smirked, "It's naïve, I'm teasing you!! HAAAAAAY!"
Jack analyzed the results in an instant, and said in shock, "When, when did you pull us into your illusion?"
Muffy didn't pay any attention to Jack's question, she just said with satisfaction, "I see, this is your family's magic weapon!
Her voice fell.
Jack suddenly noticed that the pistol in his hand was gone.
Damn it!
That feeling of powerlessness and fear came back to me.
Now, what should they do to save themselves?
