Volume 5 Endirion Academy of Magic Chapter 125 Storm Demon
The Muslims followed the magician who had discovered the anomaly to the city walls, and by this time all the magicians had already discovered the figures.
The alarm sounded, and the entire barracks came to life in an instant, and the mages who were in a meditative state immediately came out of the tent and came to the city wall.
Some sharp-eyed mages have already recognized the true identity of the phantoms, a race known as the Storm Demons, who are greatly strengthened on such snowy nights.
In such an environment, both speed and power are maximized, and the blizzard and wind that are flying in the sky are their best weapons, and they can control every snowflake in this environment.
The Storm Demons were menacing, and it seemed that they had planned for a long time, and what they were waiting for was such a fierce snowy night.
The magic cannon had already fired several rounds of attacks, but the demons were too agile to use their power for a while.
For this attack, it was something that Muslin did not expect, because the Storm Demon had not appeared for more than a hundred years, because a hundred years ago, on the same snowy night, the magicians had won a great victory and killed every Storm Demon who came here, until the Storm Demon never appeared again, and people thought that the Storm Demon had been killed that night. Now it seems that there were fish that slipped through the net that night, and after a hundred years of reproduction, their numbers have once again reached a terrifying level, and they must have come with a vengeance this time, so that tonight's battle is probably much more tragic than the battle a hundred years ago.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Muslin's command reached the ears of every mage through the sound transmission device at the checkpoint, and now even in the violent blizzard, these mages would not take a step back, and everyone released their magic shields to resist the blizzard, waiting for the arrival of the storm demon.
"Ahh One person screamed and then disappeared to the other's side, and the people around him only heard a scream and did not notice anything else, and then a series of screams came out.
"Gather in groups of six!Release the Array of the Sun!" Mu Slin hurriedly gave the battle order.
When the magicians heard the command, they moved quickly, and every six people were able to summon a Solar Array, and in this formation, the Storm Demon couldn't do it if he wanted to sneak up like he had just done.
"Prepare the Mithril crossbow!"
But at this time, the Storm Demons had not fully revealed their figures, and were still hidden in the wind and snow, so in this case, even if the magicians summoned a formation that could deal damage to the Storm Demon, they would not be able to do it for a while.
The forces of the two sides are in a stalemate at this time, but they are both looking for each other's breakthroughs, and then give them a fatal blow.
Under these two forces, there is another person outside of this, that is Ling Yan, he is not a magician, so he does not use magic arrays, at this time he is leaning against a sentry position, holding his black sword, to assassinate the storm demon who can attack at any time.
Ling Yan carefully observed the surrounding situation, the environment inside the checkpoint was relatively peaceful, but outside the wall was a violent wind and snow.
"Ahh
A piercing cry suddenly came out of Ling Yan's ears, and the moment he heard this scream, Ling Yan instinctively drew his sword and went back behind him.
Ling Yan turned around and saw a snow-white monster with a dog's head biting Ling Yan's black sword. Ling Yan turned the black sword vigorously, and the dog's head was directly cut in half, and after this storm demon was killed by Ling Yan, it turned into a blizzard and dissipated.
After Ling Yan killed a storm demon, immediately two more came up, Ling Yan hurriedly used the black sword to slash and kill, but this time after the black sword slashed at them, their wounds quickly healed, under their intensive attacks, Ling Yan was a little difficult to parry, but in the end, Ling Yan slashed on the head of one of the storm demons, and this storm demon immediately dissipated. Ling Yan now knew that the Achilles heel of the Storm Demons was their dog heads, as long as they caused damage to their heads, then they could be killed directly.
And these storm demons also have a weakness, which is Mithril, and after Mithril deals damage to them, the wounds on their bodies cannot heal.
However, Ling Yan's side couldn't hold them after all, and there were too many of them, and a few more storm demons surrounded Ling Yan's outpost, and Ling Yan was also in trouble for a while.
At this time, the Storm Demon finally appeared, and the main force arrived. In the midst of this blizzard, the sky was densely packed with storm demons attacking here, and when the magicians saw this scale, a trace of despair unconsciously rose in their hearts, and tens of thousands of storm demons were hovering above the heads of these magicians at this time. Under an attack of this scale, the Sun Circle would not be able to sustain it for too long, and they would not have such a large number of Mithril bows and arrows.
It's going to be a long, desperate night.
Tens of thousands of storm demons controlled the blizzard in the air to attack these magicians, and under the attack of this blizzard, the magic power of the magicians was rapidly consumed.
At this time, for the gathered storm demons, the magic cannon was finally able to exert some power, under the intensive attack of dozens of magic cannons, the storm demon group was punched a few gaps, but in a short period of time, this gap was replenished, because the base of the storm demon is too large, and the magic cannon will have a cooldown time after a round of attacks, during this time, until the next charge is completed, the magic cannon has no way to fire.
And just as Ling Yan had just realized, he could only kill the Storm Demons by inflicting damage on their heads. Of course, these mages also knew the weakness of the Storm Demon, and even if this demon disappeared from the history of the Chaos Continent for a hundred years, the students of the School of Magic would still know about this kind of demon.
Whether in the Arcane Empire or the Caesar Empire, students in both national academies have a compulsory course to learn about all the demons in the Demon Lands, but new content is added to this book every year, as a large number of new types of demons appear every year.
And it was normal for Ling Yan not to know this kind of demon, before his accident, he lived alone in the Dragon City, so he naturally had no interest in the knowledge of such a demon.
The Storm Demon began to rush towards these magicians, but under the effect of the Sun Circle, the body of the Storm Demon will begin to melt when it is close to the Circle, although it cannot directly kill the Storm Demon, but it will also make them lose their ability to fight, and then the magicians in the Circle only need to take advantage of the situation to mend their dog heads, under such a battle, the number of Storm Demons was quickly reduced by the magicians, Gu Mouslin estimated, should have solved two percent of the Storm Demons, according to this momentum, then when dawn, these guys should be all solved。
But the Storm Demons are not all such cannon fodder-level existences, in their population, there are a large number of high-level Storm Demons, and their intelligence is no less than that of humans.
These high-level storm demons are watching everything happening below at the top of the sky at this time, they are not in a hurry, those low-level storm demons are used as cannon fodder, using their number to consume the magic power of these magicians, when the magician's magic power is not enough to sustain the battle, it is time for them to harvest, so they are very patient and waiting.
The battle between the mages and the storm demons has become more and more intense, and it is also true, for thousands of years, the battle between humans and demons has never ended.
Demons want to plunge the continent into endless darkness, while humans defend their home to the death.
After the number of Storm Demons is partially reduced, the remaining Storm Demons will be stronger overall, because the first to die are those of lower rank.
The battle of the mages is a little more difficult than at the beginning, because the strength of the demons has increased, and the other reason is that their magic power is constantly being consumed.
At this stage, the ability of the Storm Demon is obviously different from the previous one, and at the beginning, the Storm Demon will only use its body to collide with the magicians, and the magicians naturally have nothing to worry about dealing with them.
At this time, under the environment of Blizzard's constant incessation, these storm demons began to manipulate Blizzard to attack the mage's formation. Some of the weaker mages have begun to be unable to hold on, and they have no chance to exit now, and when their magic power is exhausted, they will be directly killed by the Storm Demon.
Mu Slin once again ordered the magicians with abundant magic power to form a defensive magic array, and the magicians who had exhausted their magic power entered this array to meditate and recover.
The number of mages is only a thousand people, but the number of storm demons is tens of thousands. If it was a demon attacking from the ground, then the mages here would not have such a hard time dealing with it, but in this case, it was too difficult, and all the advantages were lost.
Ling Yan used the outpost as a cover, and he was barely able to deal with the Storm Demon for a while, but under such a battle, Ling Yan was already in a predicament, all the mages were tired of dealing with the storm demons entangled, and had no time to take care of others, Ling Yan wanted to survive in this battle, he could only rely on himself, this was his battle of life and death.
Although Ling Yan's cultivation was completely lost, with the help of Kidd's potion, Ling Yan's current physical condition had improved a lot compared to before. Therefore, when facing these demons, it is not impossible to fight without the strength of a fight.
Having said that, if this situation had always been the case, then Ling Yan's situation was definitely not optimistic, and it was quite dangerous.
The checkpoint that Ling Yan was at had been surrounded by Storm Demons.
To tell the truth, in this situation, it is really more than lucky, and the strength of the entire magician's side has fallen into a disadvantageous situation.
Even though the overall strength of the Storm Demons may not be as strong as the mages, they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and the mages have already killed about forty percent of the Storm Demons with all their might, but the next attacks are even more violent.
Some mages have been injured in battle, and due to the depletion of mana, the injured mages have no way to use their mana to temporarily block the wounds.
After being attacked by the Storm Demon, it will emit ice poison from its wounds into its body, and without the resistance of magic power, the ice poison will quickly invade the mage's body, and then become an ice sculpture, losing its life in the extreme cold.
The tide of battle has taken a turn for the worse, the number of mages injured is increasing, and since the remaining storm demons are stronger and more agile, the magic cannons are not easy to fly.
Although the magicians here also have some powerful magicians of eight or nine stars, and they have also released a lot of forbidden spell-level spells, these storm demons are not a whole.
For example, if this Storm Demon is an individual, then the forbidden spell-level spell hits the Storm Demon, even if it is a twelve-star demonic beast, it has to shed its skin if it doesn't die, but in the face of the suppression of dozens of times the number of storm demons, these powerful magicians are also in a predicament for a while, and the forbidden spell-level spells are not thrown casually, and every time they are used, it is extremely difficult.
In terms of hard power, the Storm Demons may not be so terrifying, but with the blessing of such an environment, their attack ability has been significantly enhanced, and with their absolute superiority in numbers, the situation of the mages is not optimistic.
