217. Pomp
Inside the vault bunker, in the central hall.
Duncan sat in the Hellchariot, rolled the window and shot out a [cold ray] outside, the ice-blue ray hit a legion demon wearing a standard mask and standard armor, but it had no effect.
He heard a cacophony of chaotic voices in the team's chat channel:
"What are these masked devil soldiers doing? It didn't hurt to cut the neck, and the wound disappeared in an instant. ”
"Do you use a silver-plated knife?"
"It's silver-plated!"
"Didn't you hear? These dozens of Legion Demon lives are connected, and the damage is shared. ”
"I was caught in the car by another masked devil soldier, who is driving the blue car now?"
“······”
Duncan did not hesitate at all, and immediately commanded the players in the Cosmic Mysteries Guild in the channel, compared to other players who were in a mess and fought on their own, the guild members were more organized.
"Let you taste AOE!"
On the top of the 4 Hell Chariots belonging to the Cosmic Mystery Guild, the silver-white arcane cannons fired at the same time, and 4 crackling arcane energy projectiles exploded at the same time, falling between the Legion Demon and the Marauders, and a strong arcane light exploded.
Several more players and skeletons ran down from the Infernal Chariot and threw pitch-black crystal orbs at the Legion Demons and Marauders in front of them, and the Wailing Pearls were thrown into the enemy horde, exploding with the extreme cold of the River Styx and the piercing screams of the wraith. It was as if thousands of cursed souls were crying at the same time, and the wails that seemed to tear souls apart echoed endlessly.
Many members of the Marauders, suppressed by fear, covered their ears, shed bloody tears, and fell to the ground in pain, their bodies convulsing and unconscious. And the Legion Demons were also uncomfortable, purple blood and tears flowed from the masks of each Legion Demon.
It's just that all of a sudden, the legion demons who originally used their bodies to form an iron wall are also quite embarrassed, and there are exactly the same blows on their bodies at the same time, and their spirits are showing the same malaise.
"Brother Deng, well done."
In the chaotic corners of the battlefield, sunset nicks emerge from the shadows, and pitch-black daggers slash haphazardly across the neck of a strong man, slashing the marauding legion.
In his spirit state, his weapon attacks have also become some kind of attack that is between real and illusory, similar to magical energy.
The sunset nick couldn't help but look up at the sky.
In the air of the bronze hall, near the ceiling, the three leaders of the poisonous snake, the spider and the raven, and Xia Yu, who was in the form of a demon refiner, were confronting each other.
Although the three humans had no wings, relying on the [Group Flight Technique] provided by the Viper, the three captains still gained the ability to fly freely.
Seeing the two sides of the confrontation in the air, the sunset mark was a little confused:
"It's weird, why did he stop in the air in the summer rain and didn't move?
"Under the level suppression, it should be very simple for Xia Yu to overturn these three bosses.
"If it drags on any longer, there will be quite a few enemies who will have to recover from the fear debuff!"
········
In the air, Xia Yu, who was in the form of a demon refiner, flapped his huge bat wings, and faced the three regiment commanders without attacking.
On the ground, a dozen or so legionnaires used heavy crossbows to continuously fire crossbow arrows at the summer rain in the air.
These legionnaires actually prepared silver-plated crossbows - presumably in preparation for the devil's civil war. But it may be because the devil hates silver, the number of silver-plated crossbows is very small, and ninety percent of the crossbows fired at Xia Yu are only exquisite crossbow arrows made of blue iron, and they are not enchanted, so the effect on Xia Yu is weak. Auto-enchantment for every weapon and claw, usually only high-level devils and demons.
The bolt was shot at the dark red scales of the summer rain, and it was bounced away, causing no real damage.
Xia Yu flew in the air, did not move, but maintained the [Fear Aura] that covered all hostile units.
To outsiders, Operation Summer Rain has stalled. But only he knew, and he was looking for the right skills in the system panel, dazzled by the mountains of skill icons.
"Although I deliberately discussed the ability of demon refining with my sister before, this skill icon is not clear, and I have to click on it one by one to check it."
On the way to fly before, he determined that there were only two positional skills, which were the [Fear Aura] and the [Fireball Technique] that he had just used.
"The power and range of that fireball just now are not big enough, so change it this time. Which one is AOE? And what kind of skill is this black icon? ”
Unable to find a suitable skill for a while, Xia Yu didn't plan to waste any more time, and gritted his teeth—now it was a vicious fang, and his huge eyes like embers looked at the three leaders in front of him - poisonous snakes, turtledoves, and spiders.
"Forget it, don't look at it, just level it!"
Just when Xia Yu flapped his wings and was about to fly out, the poisonous snake finally completed a spell chanting, and on his skinny pale left hand, the ruby powder that was used as a spell casting material suddenly burned, and disappeared in an instant, and his equally pale right hand shook Xia Yu in front of him.
Of all the spells that Viper has mastered that are suitable for use in battle, this may be the most powerful one, but the materials consumed are too precious. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have used this spell.
A translucent golden cage of pure magical power emerged out of thin air, locking Xia Yu in it.
Xia Yu's sturdy body was encased in a suspended golden prison, but the prison did not move at all, without the slightest trace of damage.
"Xia Yu, this is a purple epic spell - [Force Field Prison], which cannot be forcibly destroyed by external forces, and it cannot be broken by a nuclear explosion. You just teleport out. In the chaotic team chat, my sister's advice came.
"I know, sister!" Xia Yu's huge devil head nodded, but immediately his hideous face revealed helplessness:
"But which icon is teleportation? This monster skill is so special! ”
Under the control of consciousness, Xia Yu's "mouse" stayed on each icon one after another, and he had to check the names of the skills one by one.
·······
On the ground, many members of the Marauding Army who had fled in panic had temporarily stopped their escape. The trembling on their bodies has also eased a lot, but their hands and feet are still shaking, although they will not completely return to their normal state, they still have recovered a certain combat effectiveness.
The control effect of [Dread Aura] is not permanent, and over time, the affected creatures will gradually adapt to the supernatural fear implanted in their hearts, and develop resistance.
"Strange, why was I so scared just now? The whole body was shaking. ”
"I guess I was affected by supernatural fear, but I'm much better now."
"No, those Advent Beings are weaker than us in number and strength, we shouldn't run away, we should kill back!"
“……”
There are no more than a hundred players who have entered the vault bunker, and they are being held back by the Legion Demon forces that are immune to fear.
As long as only a small half of the hundreds of crow raiders who have broken up in chaos have recovered from the supernatural panic, they may be able to regain the upper hand with the advantage of quantity and quality!
···············
The twilight desert, the hunting ground of "hunting mysterious angels".
After Sifer killed Bell's incarnation, the group of high-ranking devils loyal to Bell basically retreated. Even the corrupt general and the dusk general, the two ninth-order devil generals, gave up fighting with them, half fighting and half retreating.
The Bell avatar is gone, and there will be no audience for their "loyal" performance!
Moreover, even killing "Syphael's incarnation" lacks meaning.
So, Siffel and Ram joined forces, slashing all the way, impacting the defeated enemy, and killing many high-level devils one after another.
Now Siphiel wields a crimson greatsword and battles with General Dusk, who wields a spear wrapped in twilight.
The devil general, dressed in silver-white full-body plate armor, looked exhausted with spiderweb-like tears in his armor. Several times he tried to gather his magic and teleport to escape, but was repeatedly interrupted by Sifel's onslaught.
"It's over!"
In the fierce battle, General Dusk finally revealed a fatal flaw, and Sifer stabbed out with a sword, and the crimson giant sword pierced through the gap in the armor and inserted into the chest of the ninth-order devil.
Crimson magical energy poured into General Dusk's body, and even a small amount of sacred, purifying celestial light was quietly poured into it.
In order not to be attacked by the opponent to discover his secret, Sifer only dares to use the [Angel Weapon] to add the purifying light to this blow every time he only dares to hit the last blow!
The pupils of the Dusk General's dark and hideous face widened, and then he lost his expression.
Another quasi-legendary devil has fallen.
Feeling the majestic soul energy infused into his body, Siefel took a deep breath.
He has reached the pinnacle of level 99 and has stopped there, it is unlikely that he will complete the breakthrough and enter the legendary realm for the time being. I am afraid that these soul energies will not be able to be digested for a while and a half, so they can only remain in the body.
Killing General Dusk, Sifer picks up his spear wrapped in the twilight light and puts it into his body.
He flapped his wings again and flew to Ram's aid, chasing down the scattered high-ranking devils under Bell's command.
The two joined forces, and after a while, they slashed and killed a number of high-level devils.
Of the more than 20 high-ranking devils who participated in the operation, only seven or eight corrupt generals managed to escape.
At the end of the battle, Sifer flew in mid-air, gasping for breath and feeling tired all over his body. As an angel, his physical strength is somewhat worse than that of most demons of the same level.
"Ram, it's a pity that I didn't let you personally slash Bell's incarnation." Siefel smiled wearily.
In the air in front of him, Ram, who was covered in bruises, smiled: "It's okay, Lord Sifer, the next thing is a chance." ”
The wounds on the Deep's Purgatory were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and even the left arm, which had just been severed, was reinstalled at the fracture and reattached by his amazing regeneration ability.
Siefel raised his left hand and gently touched the position of his temple.
Just now, he had already noticed a change in the player group!
Players have raided Bell's Vault Bunker!
"Ram, the Adventists are now attacking Bell's private secret vault." Siefel said.
Ram, who was gasping for breath and recovering from his injuries, was much more uplifted when he heard this: "Lord Sifel, is this also your arrangement?" ”
He had heard that the Advent were a group of humanoid creatures summoned by Sipfer, but he didn't know more details.
Sifer looked up at the pale yellow cube enveloping the nearby desert, and at one of the corners of the cube, the blazing brass watchtower at the top:
"Ram, let's go destroy one of the four brass towers and destroy this barrier!"
···············
Bell's base camp, the outer part of the Bronze Fort complex, near the Vault Bunker.
Several groups of devil soldiers were on an urgent march, their iron boots making a crisp sound on the obsidian and gold metal floor, and were moving from the nearby area in the direction of the vault bunker.
They were ordered by Bell to go to the aid of the vault bunker.
At this moment, in the blood-colored sky, many clusters of rapid purple flashes burst out one after another, and the figures of more than a dozen devils appeared in the air.
Each of these devils is a quasi-legendary devil of the ninth order. They are either the devil generals who command an entire army of 10,000 demons, or the top-level officials in charge of a tributary of the Styx, or the guards who guard many important portals, all of which are the high-ranking and powerful beings in the first layer of the entire hell.
They vary in appearance, about half of them are Hellpurgators, and half are other demon forms. Generally speaking, the Deep Hell Purgatory is the most comprehensive form for ninth-order demons, and it is relatively balanced in hand-to-hand combat, resistance, magic, attack, defense, and other aspects, and other forms of ninth-order demons probably have their own ability biases.
"You should have heard that Lord Bell has taken the Lord's Castle. I'm afraid that the lord of the first layer of hell will be replaced soon. One of the devils with goat's horns sighed.
"Baines, your message is outdated. I've just heard that Lord Bell is in a hurry, and it seems that he has not been able to find Lord Siefer's body in the castle, and he has no chance of taking the Book of Lords. Another devil said.
"No wonder during the siege, Lord Sifer didn't show up. I was hiding in the air more than a dozen kilometers away, thinking that I could see the battle between my predecessor and the current lord. A deep hell purgatory opened its mouth and said in disappointment.
"I wonder who will be the winner of this battle for lordship?" The fourth devil sighed.
As a monster from hell who knows how many years he has lived, he won't side with either Bell or Syphil until the battle is truly decided. This is also the attitude of the vast majority of quasi-legendary devils in the first layer of hell.
"It's really unbelievable that in just one hour, such a big change has happened in the wilderness of war." A humanoid devil who looks similar to a woman, but has dark blue and almost black skin, sighs.
"Alright, let's get here. Isn't it to see the pomp and circumstance below? The last handsome humanoid devil laughed and looked down at the vault bunker.
In this unremarkable bronze bunker, which is covered with wind and sand and rust, fierce shouts and fighting sounds continue to be heard. Now even the most stupid devil knows that this bunker is not ordinary, and it is probably the place where Bell used it to store treasure or other important goods.
Just now, these ninth-order devils learned of the changes in the Lord's Castle and the Bronze Fortress complex, and heard that Bell had taken the basalt castle, which symbolized the Lord of the War Wilderness, and that the Descenders summoned by Sifer had attacked a bronze bunker in Bell's base camp at the same time.
Quasi-Legends possess the ability to teleport from a distance, allowing them to reach any corner of the Wilderness of War in a short period of time!
So, they all rushed to watch this ultimate battle between the former lord and the current lord, intending to find the most opportune moment to offer their loyalty to the true victor of this devil's grand duke's war!
···········
In the vault bunker, in the central hall, close to the bronze ceiling in the air.
Xia Yu, who is in the form of the Deep Hell Purgatory, has finally found an icon that represents the teleportation skill.
Feeling the magic fill his body, the space around him suddenly distorted, and after a few seconds, dazzling purple light erupted from his body. The huge demon refining figure in the [Force Field Prison] disappeared.
At the same time, Xia Yu appeared outside the prison more than ten meters away.
"Sister, I'm out."
Xia Yu looked at the chaotic battlefield below, and once again activated the [Fear Aura], strengthening the fear suppression effect on the Black Crow Marauders.
Many of the men in black who had barely recovered just now trembled again, screaming in fear and fleeing in all directions, and the plundering army that had just barely formed a formation fell into chaos again.
He knew that he couldn't do this indefinitely, and that as time went on, the enemy's resistance to his [Dread Aura] would become stronger and stronger, and eventually he would become completely immune. This resistance lasts for 24 hours, and the [Dread Aura] created by different alchemists is calculated separately.
[Demon King Potion: 3 minutes]
"The potion time is almost over, and it can't be delayed any longer. Watch me kill them. The thought passed through Xia Yu's mind.
