Chapter 1420 Inevitable
Once the strategic magic is cast, it cannot be hidden. The barrier of invisibility and evasion of detection will be dissipated by the gathered powerful magic, causing a strong luminous phenomenon, accompanied by auditory hallucinations and illusions.
Above the Blackstone Fortress, the clear and cloudless sky was like a drop of ink melting away, and the dark clouds expanded rapidly.
The wind seemed to be escaping and passed by the ears, bringing with it the murmur of spells from the distant casters' mouths, forming a long poem of killing.
Golden thunder mixed with terrifying roars quickly moved through the clouds. The thunder snakes seemed to have no rules, but in fact they began to gather according to specific routes.
Strategic magic, ready to go.
But the Blackstone Fortress is the most important gate between the Tandelon Demon Kingdom and Avarus, and its strength is far from comparable to that of ordinary cities.
They are also prepared for the defense of strategic magic.
The mages who stayed behind quickly activated the defense of the Blackstone Fortress, and rows of slender haloes rose from the city walls, forming a huge arc.
The light blue aura began to rise, and only then could everyone see clearly that it was a huge magic circle that could cover the entire Blackstone Fortress.
Strategic magic is a country's killer move and a symbol of its prosperity. Not everyone can master it.
But when it comes to strategic magic, there is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits of spell power in this category.
Some can destroy the 800-mile mountain range with one blow and permanently change the climate environment of an area, but some can even break down a city wall with difficulty.
They are all called strategic magic, not because their power is at the strategic level, but because the scale to be used can only be achieved at the national level, so they are called strategic magic.
This thing is indeed a symbol of the country's prosperity, because if the country doesn't have a lot of money and nowhere to burn it, it is not a wise choice to buy something with such a low cost performance.
In particular, there are no very powerful mages in the Demon Realm, and the progress of magic technology is also quite average. According to Aldai's estimation, the defensive array of Blackstone Fortress is strong enough to resist strategic magic.
Moreover, the defensive array of Blackstone Fortress can be activated twice, but strategic magic cannot be used twice. If the magicians as casters fire continuously, the second round will not be formed at all, and these magicians will explode due to excessive consumption of magic power. shoot.
This is why strategic magic is not a wise choice. It costs a lot of money, but it is not difficult to defend a real fortress.
But having said that, Subia Demon Kingdom must also be very aware of how strong the Black Stone Fortress is.
Even though the Demonic Kingdom of Subia is now standing with Tandelon, the two countries have fought many battles in history. The Demonic Kingdom of Subia has been defeated in front of the Blackstone Fortress several times, so it should know that strategic magic has no effect on it. good.
In this case, strategic magic is a killing move, but it cannot be relied upon. Viola is even more worried about whether the Subia Demon Kingdom army is still hiding some useless secrets.
The air was trembling, and everyone on the battlefield felt as if their blood was boiling. This was a side effect of being drawn by the huge magical power of strategic magic and defensive circles.
At this time, Aldai suddenly said:
"As expected, that guy Alais showed up."
Viola was about to say where she saw the lich when she saw Aldai murmuring a spell, then carrying the staff and flying over the fortress.
That was a distance beyond the reach of the sword in her hand, and Viola still couldn't fly.
Several red flame beads shot out from the head of the staff, spinning towards the edge of the defensive circle.
There seemed to be nothing there, but when the flame bead flew over, it seemed to have touched something real and was melted and absorbed.
Like tearing off a piece of cloth, the Lich's robe held up by his terrifying skeleton appeared.
Aldai stopped about twenty meters away from the lich. Neither party seemed to be making any special moves, but standing here when the strategic magic above their heads was about to be launched clearly showed the boldness of a highly skilled person.
"Aldai, I knew you would definitely show up."
The lich's mechanical voice, without any ups and downs of emotion, was amplified by magic and clearly passed into Aldai's ears.
"Well, I also think you will definitely show up."
Aldai pointed with her staff at the Subia Demon Kingdom army fighting desperately below: "It must be troublesome to help them hide their traces. I can guess that it was your handiwork."
This was considered a greeting, but silence fell between the two again.
It wasn't until three seconds later that Aldai spoke first:
"For the sake of being a former colleague, I suggest you leave here immediately and find a place to live in seclusion, or simply use interdimensional teleportation to go to a place where no one knows you."
"You think you can beat me?"
Aldai shook her head:
"Stop acting stupid, you know what I mean."
Aldai cannot defeat the lich Alais. After all, Aldai has not yet passed level 50 and has become a legendary caster, and lichs are guaranteed to be at level 50.
The gap between the two is very huge. If Aldai can pester Alais for a while, she will definitely lose.
But Aldai knew that Li Chengqi was watching.
Of course Alais knew what Aldai meant. The last time he tried to kill Viola directly, Li Chengqi killed her directly. (See Chapter 312 for details)
It's just that the lich is difficult to kill. Unless the phylactery is destroyed, it will automatically resurrect with full health after a week. The phylactery will of course be tightly hidden, with a large number of spells to avoid detection, even if the gods want to find it. A lich's phylactery is no easy task either.
Of course, there are exceptions.
If Li Chengqi was a god of death in charge of the dead, killing the lich would be just a matter of moving his fingers.
The god of death's power can not only destroy the Lich's body, but also directly destroy the phylactery along the connection between the body and the phylactery.
So to Li Chengqi, Alais is a being that can be crushed to death easily, but it is very shameless that this thing can be resurrected.
After becoming a lich, he will gradually lose his emotions and act purely rationally. He knows very well that it is very unwise to be an enemy of God.
So, why did he come?
"Does the benefit that the Tandelon Demon Kingdom has given you really make you willing to take such a huge risk?"
"You don't understand, it's so hard to find countries that are willing to support my research."
Alais shook the skull, and the needle-like red light in his eyes shrank violently:
"But your proposal is very charming, I will consider it."
Aldai heard what Alais meant.
For a lich, it is unwise to make enemies of gods, but it is not impossible.
After all, a god, even if he has extremely widespread beliefs and has temples in many planes, his influence is actually limited to five or six planes, and no more than ten at most.
The world of the multiverse has countless planes, and you are not afraid of offending the gods. At worst, you can find a plane without the power of this god to move around. For the lich, this is as simple as going out for a walk.
Especially the racial god of the Demon King God. He is only influential in the realm of demons. In other planes, he is 'Huh? There is such a god? ’.
Although it is troublesome to offend God, it is not an insurmountable problem.
This also means that Alais is probably not just going through the motions.
Aldai finally asked:
"So, do you want to retreat, or...?"
"Sorry, I signed the contract."
Silence fell again, and the two of them clenched the staffs in their hands.
Fighting is inevitable.
