Chapter 345 Heroic Spirits
In the sewers of the Askatla Wojin shopping mall area, Irenicas, who had just returned from the fire elemental plane, was standing on top of the ruins with a gloomy face, looking at the fierce surroundings. The remaining traces of the battle filled his heart with overwhelming anger.
He simply couldn't believe that the secret base he had spent a lot of time and effort building was destroyed by demons from the bottomless abyss not long after he left.
There was even a secondary six-armed snake demon lord who secretly entered the material world and almost started an interdimensional war that engulfed the commercial empire of Amn.
The most important thing is that all his concubines and the clones of Elf Queen Elixing have disappeared.
As a legendary mage with high knowledge of planes and demons, Irenicas can fully imagine the humiliation, abuse, and violation that these women who are usually responsible for satisfying their desires will suffer in the hands of demons. If not, they will be forced to give birth to hybrid creatures with abyssal blood, and they will eventually breathe their last breath after being brutally tortured.
Of course, he himself did not care about the death of the clone and his concubine.
Because occasionally when he was in a bad mood, he would kill two of them with his own hands to vent his emotions.
But the problem is that Erinikas can accept that these women who belong to him are killed, but he cannot accept that they are occupied by other male creatures.
Especially when he thinks of the clone of Elf Queen Elixin being suppressed by demons and being ravaged by demons, an unquenchable flame will surge up in his heart, constantly eroding the string called reason. .
Obviously, this "exile" has not completely cut off from the past as he thought, and what is left is only endless hatred and revenge.
Just the opposite!
At this moment, he still had desire in his heart, and he still had strong feelings for Ali Xing, but he just didn't want to admit it.
As for those creatures summoned by conjuration magic, goblins, hobgoblins, gray dwarves, ogres, orcs, mephits and other creatures are carefully cleaning up the ruins, not daring to make much noise at all. , for fear of making Irenicas furious, and then directly cast a dissociation or petrification spell on himself.
After all, they are not demons or demons. After death in the material plane, their souls can return to their hometown and be resurrected.
Looking at the lifelike stone statues nearby and the green dust scattered on the ground, you can tell how powerful and ruthless this master is.
In addition, there is another reason that makes Irenikas so furious. It is that the saint who finally obtained the ancient sun god Amauna disappeared during the invasion of the secondary demon lord.
You must know that it is the only precious experimental subject that can deeply understand the nature of gods!
Before leaving, he specially told his sister Badi to ensure the safety of the temple.
But what’s the result?
Gone!
Everything is gone!
Even the precious materials collected and the experimental notebook containing a large number of secrets were all looted.
Such a professional technique, even the Shadow Thief of Amn would be beyond his reach.
Not to mention these things that are easy to take away, even the Quarix wind power generation device installed inside, as well as several teleportation doors connecting the plane and the demiplane, were dismantled and taken away. . Only a huge broken stone base was left in place, as if it was a mockery of itself.
Obviously, although the demons are evil, chaotic, and keen on killing and destroying, they are not qualified thieves and thieves, nor can they engage in such trivial behavior.
All Irenekas has reason to believe that the reason why all this happened must be someone behind the scenes.
The only people who knew that he was secretly studying the nature of gods, there were only two people in Faerûn, one was Badi and the other was Zuo Si.
Because the former is a close blood relative, and the two of them were exiled together, there is almost no possibility of betrayal.
So Irenekas naturally focused his suspicion on the latter.
Although I have cast several prophecy spells before, I have not been able to finally determine what happened.
But he always had a hunch that this sudden demonic invasion must be inextricably linked to Zuo Si.
Even if the other party is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he is definitely one of the important participants.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the Elf Archmage burst out with a cold and deep light. He subconsciously touched a black and yellow parchment scroll in his arms that seemed to have been roasted by flames, and at the same time, He cast his eyes on the twenty or so unique statues placed on the table in front of him, some of which were made of gold, and some of which were made of silver and bronze.
Next to the statue, there are five demon-sealing bottles made of special materials, each containing a captured efreet.
You don't need to ask to know that these are the rewards of taking a huge risk to go to the fire elemental plane.
You must know that the fire elemental plane is the most active and dangerous of the four basic elemental planes. The extremely harsh environment alone is enough to kill most mortals who set foot here for the first time. land.
Especially the City of Brass, which is home to the Sultan of the Fire Djinn and a large number of nobles. Even for the legendary mage, it is a place where there is no return.
So Irenekas swore that he would never hand over these bottles that sealed the efreet easily this time.
Just when he was thinking about how to give Zuo Si a showdown when he was about to come, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching from far away in the passage not far away.
After a while, Vampire Queen Badi appeared in sight with Zuo Si and Wilmes in human form.
"Long time no see! It seems that you have prepared the things needed for the transaction."
Zuo Si stared at the magic sealing bottle placed on the table and spoke meaningfully. call.
"It's only half a year, not a long time. But before making the transaction, I want to make sure of one thing first." Irenicas raised his head and stared into Zuo Si's eyes.
"Oh, what is it?" Zuo Si looked at him without fear.
The two of them maintained this weird posture for half a minute before Irenicas opened his mouth to test: "What is going on with this demonic invasion? Or, who is the mastermind behind it? Don't tell me what it is. Accident!"
"Accident? Hahahaha! No, of course it's not an accident," Zuo Si responded with a laugh.
“Whose conspiracy?” Irenicas was obviously a little surprised.
He originally thought that the other party would choose to shirk or say that he did not know.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and slowly said a few words from his mouth in a slightly playful tone: "Shar, the goddess of the night."
"What?!"
Irenikas's expression changed instantly.
Because in Faerûn, few mortals can remain calm after hearing the name "Nightsinger".
“You heard it right, it’s Shar, the goddess of the night. She took advantage of your absence to corrupt the saint of the ancient sun god Amaunata, and personally created a powerful evil—At. Ropar. As for those demon worshipers who later summoned the secondary abyss lords, they probably wanted to cause a lot of killings to provide the necessary nutrients for the growth of the gods."
Zuo Si calmly took the blame. Throw it directly on Shar's head.
Although he was not sure whether the group of devil worshipers was actually caused by the Goddess of Night, but based on the principle that whoever benefits the most is the mastermind behind it, Shar was undoubtedly the most suspicious.
"The evil god - Atropal? Where is it now?" Irenicas became excited instantly.
After all, the gods can also be regarded as a kind of dead god.
Except for having no priesthood, no need for believers, and no ability to grant divine spells, they are almost the same as gods. They not only possess the spark of divinity, but also possess nearly eternal life.
This also means that studying the gods is equivalent to studying the gods.
Moreover, the god of evil is much more resistant to torture than the dying and very weak saint of Amaunata. Its powerful regeneration ability is enough to ensure that no matter how crazy the experiment is, as long as it does not die on the spot, it will not take long to be resurrected with full blood.
“Here!”
Zuo Si bluntly showed the scroll that sealed Atropal.
Ever since the experience of being stolen, he has been carrying it with him, preparing to turn it into a summoning creature card when the spark level increases.
“Give it to me!”
Erinikas subconsciously wanted to reach out and snatch it.
But the next second...
He found that the wrist of his right hand was tightly grasped by Zuo Si.
In an instant, the indescribable power left five purple handprints on his arm, causing even the bones to hurt.
"Dear Irenicas, you are too impatient. You must know that this thing does not belong to you now, it is my trophy." Zuo Si said with a strong warning in his tone.
Unfortunately, he obviously underestimated the elf archmage's obsession and madness in becoming a god.
"Say it to me!!!!!!!" Irenekas roared almost crazy.
I saw that he didn't even hesitate, he directly raised his hand and shot out a green light.
Super magic skills—spells cast instantly!
Six Rings [Dissociation Technique]!
You must know that prompting a spell requires a spell slot that is four levels higher than the current spell.
This means that it takes a tenth-level spell slot to instantly cast a six-level spell, and only a legendary mage who has crossed the threshold can do it.
Of course, it is not difficult to understand why Irenekas chose the memory instant [Dissociation].
After all, the lethality of this spell is so amazing that even many direct destructive magics of seven, eight and nine rings cannot compete with it.
If the caster level reaches the highest limit of the power of [Dissociation], then even an adult dragon will be killed in an instant and turned into a pile of worthless green powder.
Not to mention an adult dragon, even an old dragon or even an ancient dragon, if he fails to pass the saving throw and take all the damage, he will be seriously injured on the spot and lose half of his life.
A giant dragon with such a powerful vitality is like this, let alone a humanoid creature.
As the first choice of the Goddess of Magic, the famous Great Sage of Shadow Valley, Elminster, the first magic he chose to be immune to after obtaining Silver Fire was [Dissociation].
Because even with his twenty-four points of physique that far exceeds that of most arcane casters, and a total professional level of up to LV35, even if he eats a [Dissociation Spell] with full damage, it will turn into something on the spot. Fly ash.
To be exact, there are only a few mages in Faerûn who can rely on their own vitality to survive a full-damage [Dissociation Spell].
This is the case for Elminster, and the same is true for the Undead Emperor Shane VII, who has an arcane spellcasting level of LV36.
But unfortunately, Irenicas apparently forgot that Zuo Si is also a chosen one by the goddess of magic, and can choose one from one to nine rings of magic as permanent immunity.
And he chose the same six-ring magic as Elminster, which was [Dissociation]...
When the green light hit his body, he didn't even have the slightest bit of magic. There were no ripples, it just dissipated without a trace.
“I can understand that you are declaring war on me?”
Zuo Si's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
"Declaration of war? No! I just want to get back what should belong to me. I say it one last time, give me that scroll!"
When saying these words , Erinikas waved his hand and immediately activated the statues made of gold, silver and bronze on the table.
With the dazzling white light, all the palm-sized statues were quickly transformed into warriors wearing armor, holding weapons and shields.
There are men and women among them. Most of them seem to have some fire element or purgatory blood. They are all over two meters tall and have extremely developed muscles. Their bodies are between physical and incorporeal bodies, as if He was given some kind of blessing, and his eyes shone with a flaming red light.
Among them, the warriors transformed from the gold statues have the best weapons and equipment, and at the same time they exude the strongest fighting spirit. The next best are the warriors transformed from the silver statues, and the last are the bronze statues.
“Heroic Spirit?!”
Zuo Si instantly recognized the identities of these warriors.
Of course, this "heroic spirit" is completely different from Jin Shining and Da Mao Wang.
They are high-level warriors who still retain a strong obsession to continue fighting after dying gloriously on the battlefield. They are screened by the God of War and promoted to another higher-level life form, and then sent to other parts of the multiverse. Planes to engage in never-ending war. In the continuous battle, the heroic spirit will become more and more powerful, more and more invincible, and even gain some spell-like abilities.
For example, [Fortune Watching] can check how far the target is from death (actually, it is similar to checking the remaining health), and it can not be affected by movement-limiting spells such as Spider Web and Grease. Permanent [Free Movement], and the ability to use [Rage] without restriction and without side effects, etc.
In addition, heroic spirits can also use [Divine Power] three times a day, one [Heroes' Feast], and a large number of unique special abilities.
The most important thing is that all heroic spirits are experienced in hundreds of battles. They are good at all types of weapons, armor and long-range attacks. They are immune to cold, disease, fear and poison, and have twice the magic resistance of ordinary dark elves. It has a certain resistance to strong acid, fire and lightning, and the worst equipment starts with an enchantment level of +2.
It’s just that Zuo Si didn’t understand where Irenekas got these magical statues that sealed the heroic spirits.
You must know that even the lowest level Bronze Heroic Spirit's combat power is comparable to that of a five-person adventure team with an average professional level of around LV10, and its vitality is equivalent to that of a young red dragon.
As for the highest-level heroic spirits transformed by the four golden statues, each one is equivalent to a warrior or weapon master who has crossed the legendary threshold.
Coupled with the obvious fire element and purgatory bloodline, it is difficult not to make some associations.
"Hmph! What, are you afraid? If you are afraid, just hand over the scroll obediently! The saint of the ancient sun god Amaunata was originally mine, so the evil spirit born after his corruption should also belong to me. Me.”
Erenikas stretched out his right hand again.
And at his signal, all the heroic spirits quickly spread out to form a semicircular encirclement, completely blocking the way back.
When Wilmes saw this, he immediately realized that a fierce battle might break out next, so he carefully began to retreat, wanting to reserve enough space to ensure that he would not be attacked after transforming back into the red dragon form. Got into a group fight with too many heroic spirits.
Even though she was arrogant, she understood that without the help of strange objects, with the strength of this group of heroes, up to six or seven of them could probably chop off her head.
Also ready for battle is Vampire Queen Badi.
Only this time, she wanted to help not her brother, but her master.
"So... is this what gives you the confidence to fight against me? A group of warrior heroes?" Zuo Si asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's right! Believe me, it's better for you to hand over the scroll obediently to compare the price, because I have arranged everything in advance."
With the last word blurted out, Irene Cass raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
In an instant!
A light curtain enveloped the entire room, completely blocking all space teleportation magic.
Obviously, he was ready to take action and wanted to try to get what he wanted from Zuo Si through violent means.
As for the five captured efreets...
They are just bait!
"Haha, interesting, it's so interesting. Since you want to have fun, let's have some fun. Remember, since you started this fight first, when will it end? It will be up to me how it ends." Zuo Si opened his mouth and showed an extremely dangerous smile.
No hesitation!
He directly raised his hand and summoned a fierce fire.
Before Irenikas and the Heroic Spirits could react to what was happening, the scalding flames soared into the sky and swept everything around them.
Vilmes took the opportunity to transform back into the dragon form. He started with a dragon wing slap and tail sweep, forcing the few heroic spirits closest to him to retreat on the spot, and then opened his bloody mouth and said deeply Take a breath.
The next second...
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The breath of flames that could melt rock and steel intertwined with the fierce fire on the spot, forming an indescribable scorching temperature.
The goblins, hobgoblins, gray dwarves and other creatures who were working did not even have time to scream, and they were immediately reduced to ashes under the double flames.
The extremely high temperature even melted the walls and floorboards, turning the entire room into a terrifying purgatory.
But even so, none of those heroic spirits died. Instead, they carried the flames and launched a charge.
Since they have experienced death more than once, they have no fear at all and just want to kill the red dragon in front of them.
"Damn it! Don't let these guys get close to me!"
Facing such a powerful enemy, Wilmes was obviously a little panicked. While shouting to let the strange objects in his mind take action, he wildly waved his claws and dragons. Wings and Tails tried to repel the heroic spirits that came up to them.
But it is a pity that if the heroic spirits are so easily repelled, then they do not deserve to be called heroic spirits.
After several heroic spirits were hit by tails and dragon wings and flew out, they immediately threw the magic weapons in their hands in mid-air without thinking.
Especially two of the axes and spears instantly penetrated the scales of the red dragon, causing considerable wounds on the sides of its torso.
What's even more frightening is that although these wounds are not deep and far from fatal, the weapons are still hanging on them and have not fallen off.
The golden heroic spirit who followed up rushed forward at lightning speed, jumped deep and high, and used all his strength to swing the warhammer in his hand and hit one of the spears hard. end.
Bang!
Poof! ! ! ! ! !
The huge kinetic energy instantly made the spear stuck in the muscle go further, directly inserting it deeply, and the dazzling bright red dragon's blood spurted out along the wound.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
The severe pain made Wilmes couldn't help but let out a deafening roar.
Just as other heroic spirits rushed up to kill the red dragon in front of them, the strange object finally took action.
Psychic power - force field barrier!
Psychic power - shock wave!
Psychic power - energy wall!
In the blink of an eye, it repels these heroic spirits, builds a defense that is difficult to easily overcome, and cuts off the host's pain nerves.
The moment the severe pain disappeared, the crazy Wilmes used an extremely violent gesture to dig open the wound with his claws, and pulled out the spear inserted into his body without saying a word. He rushed forward and bit the golden heroic spirit that had just fallen to the ground, killing it with just the strength of his muscles. The entire head and spine were forcibly pulled out from the body. The tragic scene was simply mind-numbing.
Vicious!
Cruel!
Bloodthirsty!
Crazy!
At this moment, she completely ignited the red dragon's instinct to fight to the death. She took advantage of the gap where the heroic spirits were separated by energy walls and shock waves, and rushed forward to kill them.
In just a few seconds, five heroic spirits died under the dragon's mouth.
Obviously, although heroic spirits are very powerful, in terms of pure power competition, they are still unable to compete with dragons, a magical creature that stands at the top of the food chain.
Once caught, it's basically game over.
No matter how strong their vitality is, they will die instantly if they are beheaded.
As for tactics, breath, and spell-like abilities...
Go to hell!
Now Wilmes just wants to use his fangs and claws to kill these "ants" who dare to harm him in the bloodiest and most cruel way.
With the cooperation of strange objects and psychic powers, she is like a bloody war god who is invincible, and does not care about exchanging injuries for life, using her wings, forelimbs and tail to resist the enemy's weapons.
After the weapon is embedded in the muscle and gets stuck, it then seizes the fleeting opportunity to bite the opponent, killing it at lightning speed.
Compared with the fierce battle between Wilmes and the Heroic Spirits, Zuo Si and Irenicas seemed too calm.
Because except at the very beginning, after Irenicas blessed himself with a magic that protected against fire elemental damage, the two of them never made any obvious moves.
As for the vampire evil queen Badi, she escaped the moment she was attacked by the double flames, and is currently playing a hide-and-seek game with Li Huo.
"You actually brought a red dragon that can use psychic powers to meet me?"
Seeing the heroic spirits being defeated one after another and turning back into statues, Irenikas's face obviously changed. Somewhat ugly.
He thought that Wilmes, who was wearing a red dress, was a mage or a warlock.
But I never expected that this guy was not only a dragon, but also a rough-skinned and thick-bodied warrior who could fight and resist.
Yes!
After almost a year of training and going to the far north to hunt the white dragon, Wilmes already has a LV9 warrior level.
Although it is far from the heroic spirits in terms of skills.
But I can’t stand her as a dragon!
What is the distance of a warrior's melee attack?
Even if he holds a four-meter spear, it is only about three meters at best.
After all, the part that can be grasped by two hands alone is about one meter, otherwise it would be impossible to exert any strength at all.
And those who use long swords, giant swords and axes, the attack radius does not exceed two meters.
But what about the red dragon?
With Wilmes's current size, he can sweep his opponent to a radius of at least six or seven meters by swinging his tail. With one flap of his dragon wings, he can send the opponent flying at least ten or twenty meters away. His forelimbs The dragon claw can reach a distance of four meters with just one wave.
Coupled with the exaggerated strength attributes, ordinary human warriors who want to confront it head-on are simply overthinking it.
Most warriors actually use the terrain to fight guerrillas when slaying dragons. Then, under the cover of teammates, they find a visual blind spot of the dragon and rush forward to attack the fatal weak parts, such as the heart, eyes, ears, nose, etc.
But Wilmes is obviously not an ordinary dragon.
She learned without any instruction to use her wings as a shield to resist attacks from the front.
This means that it is almost impossible to kill it before the entire wing membrane covered with hard scales is completely smashed.
What's more, Wilmes has no visual blind spots.
The strange object in her brain can sense the thoughts of intelligent creatures within a certain range around her, understand when and what kind of attack the other party will launch, and even know the tactical coordination between them.
If it weren’t for the purpose of giving this guy who gets carried away easily a little more memory, the strange object would have prevented him from being injured in the first place.
Appreciating the tacit cooperation between the red dragon and the strange objects, Zuo Si said meaningfully: "It's a pity. It seems that these heroic spirits are not as powerful as you imagined, isn't it? The most important thing is , you made a wrong choice."
"Don't be proud! Do you think my only trump card is these heroic warriors?"
A cold light flashed in Irenekas's eyes. , and then I didn’t know what spell or magic item was activated.
In less than a second, a huge magic circle flashing crimson appeared out of thin air behind him...
