Trials Space.

On the barren land, there is a huge steel fortress.

The mottled dark red rust looked like dried blood.

The "Bloody Hand Fortress", the base camp of the demons, has been submerged in an even larger shadow at this moment.

The shadow came from a kilometer in the sky, a pitch-black battleship.

More like a floating island, to be exact.

With a diameter of more than two hundred meters, it is covered with heavy armor and has raised edges and corners that look like a huge six-pointed star.

Each raised sharp corner, corresponding to a set of turrets, provides all-round anti-aircraft fire without dead ends.

A large group of vultures and succubi, is frantically besieging the battleship.

However, in the face of the infernal fireballs fired from the turrets, the demons' charge was suicidal.

The moment it was bombarded by a fireball, it was evaporated by the high temperature.

At the same time, the battleship's belly was open with hatches.

Huge conical bombs were dropped in the air.

With a sharp whistle, it smashed against the dome of the fortress.

The steel dome, reinforced with protective magic, was bombarded with bombshells infused with "dissociation" and was as fragile as cardboard.

Under the green light released at the moment of the explosion, the iron wall disintegrated into fine dust, opening a huge cavity.

The facilities inside the fortress were then exposed.

After three rounds of bombardment, the dome of the fortress was riddled with holes.

The demons inside the fortress, realizing that they could only wait for death if they continued to shrink, rushed out one after another and joined the ranks of the besieging Purgatory Void Mother.

Compared to demons, the biggest advantage of demons is numbers.

In the face of the demons besieging the insects like a swarm, the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Purgatory Air Mother gradually became overwhelmed.

The anti-aircraft barrage was finally breached, and the ferocious vultures pounced on the turrets and vandalized wildly.

Purgatory artillery, mute fire one after another.

At this moment, the Infernal Void Mother opened a row of portholes, and a large group of demons flew out.

The largest number are the thorny demons covered in barbs.

The second is the lust demon who holds a longbow and looks like a fallen angel.

There are also higher-ranking bone demons, which look like giant insect bones and drag chainsaw-like tails.

The leader of all these devilish air forces is an ice demon.

This sixth-order devil was like an ice sculpture that was half human and half locust, with pale compound eyes that shimmered with a cold luster.

He held a silver spear in his hand, exuding a hint of coldness.

All the demons that approached her would be attacked by the extremely cold aura, and their bodies would be frozen and frosty, and their speed would become sluggish.

The Ice Demon swung his spear at will, and a bitter blizzard fell in the air.

The demons froze, tumbling and falling.

Behind the Ice Demon is a special guard.

It looks like a demon, but instead of armor, it wears a leather uniform that resembles a straitjacket, surrounded by numerous metal tubular objects, like a living gun!

This strange weapon system is like a flock of birds.

Lock on to the demons and collectively spew pitch-black hellfire.

After a round of strafing, the demon that was hit was scorched.

……

On the periphery of the battlefield, in an inconspicuous corner.

Caroline casts a spell to create a "shelter" that is insulated from outside objects, and kneels in the center of the carpet, holding the Discovery Crystal Ball in both hands.

Alan, Julie, Ferrin and Tauna sit around the Spider Queen, watching the melee in the air through the crystal ball.

"What kind of weapon is that, it looks so flexible!"

Tauna stared at the witches' remote-controlled fire-breathing device, her eyes full of curiosity.

"The 'Inferno Floating Cannon', the special weapon of the 'Hell Angels'." Alan explained.

"What is the 'Angel of Hell'?" Julie was also puzzled, "We've been dealing with the devil a lot these days, but it's the first time we've seen this kind of weapon. ”

"A single soldier exoskeleton construct developed by the devils is complicated to talk about."

Alan briefly introduced the function of the "Prison Angel", and everyone was amazed.

"Alan, you're not a Hellorman, how do you know the devils' secret weapons?" Caroline cast a quizzical look.

"I have a good relationship with Sonia of the Human Demon Order, and I have obtained a lot of information about the Devil's Army from her."

Alan pointed to the Detective Crystal Ball.

"Auntie, look, the captain of the Ice Demon on the devil's side, there are a total of thirteen witches equipped with 'Prison Angels' around him, and the one who is the captain is my friend Sonia."

"In fact, Sonia joined the devil's side for two purposes."

"The first is to get an advanced license, and the second is to build a 'prison angel' system to strengthen your combat effectiveness."

"Now it seems that at least the second purpose has been achieved."

Caroline and the others looked in the direction of his finger.

Sure enough, I saw a black-winged witch flying in the air, which must be Sonia's Desire Demon Atavistic form.

There are surprisingly many "Inferno floating cannons" around her!

No less than forty pieces are visually measured, which is twice as many as ordinary witches!

It is not difficult for everyone to imagine that the greater the number of floating cannons that can be remotely controlled at the same time, the stronger the mental power must be.

"Sister Sonia's cultivation has reached the late fifth order, but the upper limit of the bloodline of the demon is at this level, if you want to go further, I am afraid you will have to advance to a higher level of the devil."

Tauna and Sonia have a good personal relationship, and often exchange letters.

Alan nodded, and then continued with the topic she raised:

"Sonia plans to advance to the Advanced Desire Demon, that is, the Yue Demon, but it is not easy, first you have to hunt demons on the battlefield, accumulate enough merits, get the promotion permit, and then you have to collect the souls of celestial creatures, refine them into soul jade, and cooperate with the license to advance to a high-level Desire Demon."

"Devil Advanced, that's not good at this!" Caroline smiled bitterly, "Without the permission of your boss, no matter how strong your strength is, it's useless!" ”

Alan nodded and said softly: "The captain of the Purgatory Air Mother, Kycilia, is Sonia's boss, and in order to get the permit, Sonia had to be the captain of the guard for this eccentric ice demon. ”

Sonia, the captain of the guard, behaved dutifully.

Under her leadership, the Witch Guards built a strong defensive line.

With the powerful firepower of the Inferno floating cannon, he repelled the demonic assault team that tried to close in on the Ice Demon and perform the decapitation operation.

The Ice Demon is under the protection of the Witch Guard, and casts spells calmly.

"Ice Wall", "Ice Storm", "Frost Nova", "Ice Orb", ......

There is also the most terrifying 7-ring "Vinaya" spell, which can deal a devastating blow to chaotic creatures within forty meters of the surrounding area by reciting a single incantation.

The devil and the devil are not high or low in the degree of evil.

However, the devil belongs to the camp of order and is immune to the "law".

The demon is an out-and-out chaotic camp.

The golden words that erupted from the Ice Demon's mouth symbolized the law of order to some extent.

Demons below the fourth order will die when they hear it!

Fourth- and fifth-order demons also suffer from at least one negative state, such as paralysis, sluggishness, and deafness.

On the battlefield where the hand-to-hand combat is in close proximity, a moment of distraction will usher in the concentrated fire and bombardment of floating artillery, and it will be annihilated.

Seeing the demon army that was frantically besieging the Purgatory Void Mother being repulsed, Fei Lin wiped a cold sweat and felt an eye-opener.

"Compared to today's exciting battle, the conflicts we have experienced in the past are just small fights."

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the demon and the devil to fight a few water dogs and pick up some cheapness, but now it seems that it is safer to obediently watch the play here."

"That's what I'm talking about!" Julie was also deeply shocked by the bloody melee in front of her, "If you put me in a conflict zone, such as Sonia's position, I'm afraid I won't last five minutes, and I'll have to be kicked back to Origin City!" ”

Caroline smiled faintly, finally having a chance to show the young man her experience.

"In fact, in real bloody battles, battles of this scale are commonplace, and tens of thousands of battles break out every day."

"Even Origin City doesn't have the ability to perfectly simulate the main battle between the demons and the devil."

"Otherwise, you will not just see a Purgatory Void Mother, but a group of warships that will obscure the sky like a flock of birds."

"The demons will not have just a steel fortress, but will be built along the banks of the River Styx, with tens of thousands of fortresses, each of which is larger than the Bloody Hand fortress you have seen."

"The main generals of the two sides must at least be ninth-order demons, such as the Baro Flame Demon and the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon, the Ice Demon and the like, and they are only worthy of being small leaders."

"Lady Caroline, have you been to the lower planes and experienced the bloody battle between demons and demons?" Tauna asked curiously.

"Well, I haven't been to the ......," the Spider Queen's cheeks flushed slightly, "I've only seen a book about bloody battles." ”

Tauna let out a meaningful "oh".

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Julie hurriedly gave Tao Na a look and changed the subject.

"Judging from the current situation, the devil has the upper hand."

"The demon side has paid so many casualties and launched such a crazy offensive to defeat the Purgatory Void Mother, I really can't think of how we can complete this perverted mission!"

Tauna scratched her head, hesitating to switch to an easier target.

The Purgatory Void Mother itself is only a sixth-order construct, but counting the ship-based troops, the challenge level is too much more than the sixth-order.

She couldn't figure out how she could destroy the massive battleship full of devil armies and get the core of the build.

At this moment, a slight ripple of magic power was set off in the air.

A ball of teleportation light flashing with the succubus emblem quietly emerged from Allen's side.

Alan held the ball of light and read the letter, as if he had an understanding.

"Aunt Caroline, switch the perspective of exploration to the inside of the 'Bloody Hand Fortress', and the show is about to be staged."

"There is an enchantment inside the fortress to prevent reconnaissance magic from the outside world, otherwise it will be my turn to find out, the devils have long seen the details of the opponent clearly."

Caroline grimaced.

"Auntie, I know that there is an anti-reconnaissance enchantment inside the fortress, but it doesn't matter, there is our informant in it, and he carries a positioning magic guide with him, as long as you lock the detection perspective on her, you can see everything around her."

Alan smiled slightly, and then revealed:

"My informant, who has a lot of status among the demons and is qualified to participate in the highest level of secrecy, has just written to inform me that the offensive launched by the demons before is nothing more than a feint, and the real show is yet to come."

Caroline's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly followed his instructions to switch the perspective of exploration.

The scene in the crystal ball became dim and blurred.

This is a normal phenomenon for detecting that magic is blocked by enchantments.

And then it's not normal.

The dim picture suddenly became clear again.

It presents a bird's-eye view, and the picture is scarlet!

The space inside the fortress seems to have been folded, and it looks even more open than the outside!

Occupying most of the space is a bubbling pool of water that seems to be boiling.

The liquid in the pool is bright red and thick, like plasma!

Even through the crystal ball, everyone could feel the extremely evil magic emitted by the blood pool.

It is the "Chaos Blood Pool", a unique landscape formed by the water of the River Styx converging in the bottomless abyss and absorbing the magic of the abyss' origin.

It is said that mortals who are contaminated with the water of the pool of blood immediately lose their memory.

Demons can evolve in blood pools and even be reborn.

Through the crystal ball, everyone saw dense black stone pillars rising from the pool of blood.

At the top of each stone pillar, a demon sits, seemingly performing some kind of sacrificial ritual together.

The demon leader in the center looks like a black-haired minotaur with twisted horns and fine blood-colored threads.

"That's ...... Bull Demon? ”

Julie guessed in a low voice.

Alan nodded slightly, his gaze solemn.

"The third-ranked lord of the Bloody Hand Fortress, the Bull Demon General Cassius, is said to be no less powerful than the early stage of the seventh order!"

"As for the two lords who preceded Cassius, you won't find them in the fortress, each of them has a demon legion, and they are attacking the Holy White Tower and the Iron Fist Fortress."

"The other two wars that are taking place on the battlefield are even more intense than what we are seeing at this moment."

Caroline stroked the crystal ball with both hands, and according to the perspective of detection, she reversed the three demons who participated in the blood pool sacrifice.

The demon at the head has a body of horns and a thin body.

On the stone pillars on the left and right sides, sit the red-haired giant ape and the gorgeous bat-winged witch.

The Spider Queen soon notices that something is wrong.

Almost all of the sixty-six demons who were eligible to participate in the Blood Pool Sacrifice were high-level demons, and their strength was at least at the late fifth order!

The main priest, Cassius, is a powerful seventh-order bull demon!

However, the Brezu Demon with a sheep's horn body was just that, barely strong, and he could be regarded as the goalkeeper of the high-level demon.

The ape demon and the succubus are just mid-level demons, and they are only cultivated to the early stage of the fifth order at most, how did these two get in?!

There can only be one explanation for this anomaly.

The three demons are actually atavistic abyss warlocks, and their strength far exceeds the corresponding demons of their respective bloodlines.

"Brezu, Succubus, or Ape, which one is your informant?" Caroline asked Alan.

"Burke, Helent, and Bagora, the three Abyssal Bloodline Warlocks from the Demons family, are all my informants."

Alan explained calmly.

"The one who sent me the letter just now and provided us with the location of the probe is Helent the Succubus."

Caroline looked at him deeply, and her face was strange: "You kid, there are informants on both the devil and the devil's side, no wonder you are calm and relaxed, and sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai!" ”

"Actually, Alan also has informants in the Holy White Tower and the Outer Dao Sanctuary, so there is no need to say who it is, right?" Fei Lin laughed.

Caroline frowned, and when she thought about it, it was really like this.

Felin, Julie, and Tauna are all trialists who belong to the "Holy White Tower".

Not to mention, Allen's relatives and friends in the Silvermoon Monastery have also joined the Holy White Tower.

As for the "Sanctuary of the Outer Paths", ......

Boy! The informant turned out to be myself!

Caroline finally realizes that she is part of Allen's pervasive network.

"You kid! The main theme is a wide range of friends, right? No wonder it's well-informed and know-it-all! ”

"Auntie, you have won the award, I don't dare to take this seriously." Alan smiled modestly, "Thanks to my friends' love, I will be rewarded with three points of thin noodles." ”

"Then again, are the High Demons gathering together for some evil ritual?" Julie asked.

"It's a joint spell casting ceremony, and the mana of all the participants is gathered on the host, that is, the bull demon general Cassius, which is not evil."

"Through the ritual, Cassius's mana is greatly enhanced, and more supermagic skills can be stacked, and the spells released have a longer range and greater range, which is the so-called 'strategic casting'."

At the same time as Eren explained, the Bull Demon General had already begun to cast spells.

A golden aura rose from his hand and instantly soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the golden aura flew thousands of meters into the air.

Touching the belly of the Purgatory Void Mother, she was intercepted by the anti-demon barrier, stirring up a circle of magical ripples.

The Infernal Void Void is immune to almost all spells or supernatural attacks up to the sixth order.

In the face of this inconspicuous golden aura, it only resisted for less than two seconds before it was penetrated!

Tao Na and the others held their breath, expecting to see the explosion caused by the magic bombardment of the battleship, when a strange scene appeared.

The huge battleship that proudly hovered over the "Bloody Hand Fortress" only trembled slightly, and then disappeared out of thin air!

No ......?

The entire battleship, along with thousands of shipboard devils, disappeared en masse!

Tao Na and Griffin couldn't help but look at each other.

Caroline is well-informed, after all.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked Allen, "Labyrinth?" ”

Alan nodded slightly.

The 8-ring magic "Labyrinth" of the Transfiguration School can forcibly banish a designated target to another dimension.

In that mysterious space that even the caster himself cannot determine, there is an endless labyrinth.

Trapped in the labyrinth, the victim will either use their brains and try to find a way out.

Either you can only wait in place until ten minutes later, and then automatically get out of the maze and return to the original position.

It is not surprising that the Bull Demon is good at "maze technique".

But under normal circumstances, even if it is an 8-ring "Labyrinth Technique", it is impossible to teleport a Purgatory Air Mother and all the shipboard personnel to the Otherworldly Labyrinth thousands of miles away.

The reason why the bull demon general Cassius could do it was inseparable from the assistance of the group of high-level demons around him.

Sixty-six high-level demons, including Cassius, were able to achieve this feat by jointly performing a superdemon ceremony.

But is that the end of it?

"Ten minutes, the Purgatory Void Mother will appear in the sky above the fortress as it is, what's the point of the demons doing this?"

Tauna asked, puzzled.

"Buy time, set traps."

Caroline had seen it.

Through the crystal ball, it is not difficult to find that the demons are still racing against time to cast spells together, channeling magic power to General Cassius.

One after another, the complex magic circles were completed with the cooperation of the demons, and they were engraved in mid-air.

"The green circle is an 8-ring 'dimensional lock', and all the teleportation capabilities within the sealing range."

"The golden circle is a 5-ring 'gravity well', and the gravity coefficient in the range expands by 32 times - please note that this is a field magic that is not affected by the anti-magic barrier!"

"All of these circles are enhanced strategic versions, and their coverage is enough to encompass the entire Purgatory Void Mother."

Alan relayed Helent's information to his companions.

"It is conceivable that when the Purgatory Void Mother finally escapes from the labyrinth and returns to its original position, the devil on the battleship will find that he has fallen into a death trap that is a hundred times more terrifying than the otherworldly labyrinth."

"The warship's teleportation function is sealed by the 'dimensional lock', and it can't withstand the pull of the hypergravity field, and it will definitely fall straight down."

"The passengers on the battleship still have a chance to escape from the hatch, and the huge and bulky battleship itself will inevitably be dragged into a pool of blood and reduced to the spoils of war on the demonic side."

"Without the Purgatory Void Mother, the devils have no capital to attack, and the next thing they need to consider is how to escape from the demons."

"This is General Cassius's battle plan."

After hearing him, Caroline breathed a long sigh of relief, and an expectant gleam appeared in her eyes.

"It seems that the devil will not only go crazy, but also occasionally use his brain, so how should the devil deal with it?"

"Alan! Have you ever told Sister Sonia about the devil's poisonous scheme? Tauna asked eagerly, "Will she still have time to run away?" ”

"I don't need to worry about it, Helent has already reminded her."

"Helent...... Is she familiar with Sister Sonia? ”

"It's okay, they're half-sisters."

Alan didn't elaborate on the complicated relationship between Helent and Sonia, which can't be explained in a few words.

"If Sonia knew about the demon's conspiracy, why didn't she tell her boss and take precautions in advance?" Ferrin asked.

"In fact, she reported in advance, and was appreciated by the Ice Demon Captain, who specially arranged for her to be his own guard captain."

Alan smiled wryly.

"When it comes to playing with intrigues, the devil is the expert."

"The Ice Demon knew what the Purgatory Void Mother was going to do, but she didn't say anything, but secretly instructed Sonia and other henchmen to install a special magic bomb in the ammunition depot of the battleship."

"Activate this bomb, and after six seconds, the entire battleship will explode on itself."

"A strong fortress is often easier to attack from within."

"If the battleship blew itself up inside the 'Bloody Hand Fortress', the destructive power released in an instant would be enough to raze the fortress to the ground."

"Sacrificing a warship in exchange for ending up the old enemy's nest, the devils think that such an exchange is worth it."

Including Caroline, everyone's scalp was numb!

Such a vicious tactic can only be done by the devil.

"Isn't the devil on the battleship also suffering heavy casualties?" Julie was still a little incredulous, "Especially the devil who was responsible for staying behind to detonate the bomb, wouldn't he want to bury the battleship?" ”

"You mean Sonia?" Alan smiled, "She is a trialist, she is not afraid of death, and she volunteered to carry out this fateful task, in exchange for the promotion permit issued by the Ice Demon." ”

"The devil is very realistic, if you don't go out to work for your boss, why should your boss help you get promoted to a knight?"

"I hate the devil!" Tao Na's face was full of resentment, "If the devil's conspiracy succeeds, and the Purgatory Void Mother is blown up to the scum, let alone any construction core, won't I just come for nothing?" ”

"That's right, the devils' plan is not in our interest, so I plan to change the plot development a little."

"How?"

"You think, after the battleship was reset, it was pulled by a hypergravity field and accelerated and fell in the air."

"In this process, if a lateral external force is applied to it, it is possible to force the battleship to depart from the predetermined straight line falling trajectory and fly out of the control range of the hypergravity field."

"Although it will still fall to the ground in the end, at least a relatively intact wreck can be preserved, so that the construction core can be obtained from the wreckage of the battleship."

"To achieve this, two prerequisites must be met."

Alan went on to analyze.

"First of all, we need to say hello to Sonia and tell her not to detonate the bomb in a hurry."

"In addition, the external force exerted on the battleship must be large enough to change the trajectory of the fall of this 10,000-ton giant ship."

"The question is, what kind of force can propel a warship with huge inertia, even if it is only a little offset?"

Caroline lifted the frame of her glasses, frowning slightly.

"Even if an adult dragon flies at full speed and crashes into the Purgatory Air Mother that has fallen out of control, it is impossible to shake the latter."

"Alan, I can't think of how to do this."

Alan smiled slightly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I've calculated it repeatedly, and this matter is not as difficult as you think."

"Indeed, the dragon is powerless to push away the out-of-control Purgatory Void Mother."

"But there are creatures in the world that are more powerful than dragons......"

"You mean...... Beamon Behemoth? Caroline guessed.

Alan shook his head slightly.

"Beamon Behemoth, stronger than a dragon is true, but it's not enough."

"Auntie, have you heard of the Golden Titan?"

Caroline was silent for a long time, letting out an emotionally mixed sigh.

"Allen...... Auntie, I'm afraid I'm still too young and too knowledgeable, and there is still a lot to learn from you. ”
