Chapter 106 Succubus
The dim Deep King Fortress was reflected red by a sea of fire. The fire engulfed the steel turrets, burning like a roaring wall of fire.
As the loud and excited roar of the red dragon echoed throughout the fortress, the stalactite pillars and arrow towers were enveloped in flames.
Most of the gray dwarves on the city wall were like ants on a hot pot, running away in panic.
The city guards and stone guards stationed on the city wall, as well as a few psychic priests and gray dwarf warlocks, gathered together and began to aim spells or sharp arrow javelins at the red dragon on the tower.
However, the level of this group of spellcasters is relatively low, and the spells that can cause fatal damage to the red dragon are extremely limited.
Because the adult red dragon has strong spell resistance, it is basically difficult for spells below the fourth level to have an effect on him.
After all, the spellcasting organization of Aldus King City, the Flame Keepers, has been attracted to the red dragon's complex lair by Brian's trick, and is busy cleaning out the kobolds inside.
Even if you react at this moment, it will take a while to get into the battle quickly.
Therefore, the city guards and stone guards of the Deep King Fortress had no effective way to deal with this adult red dragon.
——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"
The red dragon Agatus opened his mouth wide, and huge orange fireballs, trailing hissing tail flames, smashed into the gray dwarves. In the densest crowd of warriors, scorching fire broke out.
Looking at the bloated figure of the red dragon, Brian showed a smile.
As the most powerful dragon among the five-color dragons, the adult red dragon has a spellcasting ability of about level 9 even without any training.
Although the spell is relatively simple, it is still very effective when used in battles like this.
This guy's melee combat ability doesn't seem to be very good, but his flame breath and fireball are very powerful. He can be placed on the commanding heights and used as a turret to kill enemies on his own.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of an advanced profession about the dragon clan: Master of Elements.
This advanced profession is a perfect match for the red dragon in front of you.
Brian immediately kept this idea in his mind and prepared to have a good talk with the other party after the battle was over.
“Boom!”
There were bursts of violent explosions.
Agatus's series of fireballs wiped out a large area of the gray dwarf warriors and spell casters that had just gathered.
"Fire arrows!"
At this time, the few surviving gray dwarf heavy crossbowmen and javelin bearers, following the order, all shot at the armor-piercing crossbows and armor-piercing javelins. The bloated figure of the red dragon was projected away.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!.”
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of rapid sounds of gold and iron.
Most of the crossbow arrows hit the red dragon's scales as hard as steel. Except for wiping out weak sparks, they all end up falling to the ground.
The very few javelins that penetrate the dragon scales, for the red dragon with its huge size, are like a human having a toothpick piercing the skin. Except for a little pain, the damage caused is negligible.
“Let’s go, we have nothing to do here anymore.”
Brian put away his staff, quit the battle, greeted the sword mage beside him, and prepared to go to the palace of the fortress , to deal with the Deep King.
With the addition of the red dragon, the gray dwarf guards on the city wall were retreating steadily. As a result, the gray dwarf prince Erdi's large army successfully entered the interior of the fortress and was using their numerical advantage to clean up these defeated soldiers.
It is only a matter of time for them to take control of the entire fortress.
By the time they finish the fighting here, the Flame Wardens and the coalition forces of the major landowner clans who have reacted will most likely have already moved their respective troops to the walls of the fortress.
At that time, Erdy's men will be greeted by a severe defensive battle.
If they want to end the internal fighting in Aldus King City as soon as possible, they must kill the Deep King hidden in the palace inside the fortress as quickly as possible, and expose it in front of all the clan landlords. The Deep King colludes with demonic intentions.
In this case, the alliance of major clans and the Flame Wardens who besieged the Deep King's fortress would have no reason to continue the attack, and with the support of the stone giants, they would support the gray dwarf prince Erdi as the new Deep King.
The gray dwarf prince on the other side quickly explained the follow-up issues of the battle, selected a dozen or so outstanding gray dwarf warriors, and led Brian towards the palace of the Deep King Fortress.
When the group of people arrived in front of the palace gate, a khaki magic circle of light suddenly appeared, and the old figure of Stone Whisperer Hegram walked out of the magic circle as the light dissipated.
"Sir Brian, Prince Erdi, I have been waiting here for a long time."
The stone giant priest with a stooped body is holding a brass staff engraved with ancient patterns. , he slightly squinted his cloudy eyes, and a soft smile appeared on his old face.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to take action." Brian nodded and said to everyone.
Stone Whisperer Hegram is a model priest whose strength has reached the fourth level. With the addition of this spellcaster, he believes that the pressure will be greater when facing the King of the Deep and the Succubus of the Abyss. It will be much lighter.
Although the strength of the Abyss Succubus is not yet clear, he knows that the Deep Earth King Hogar he is about to face is a warrior whose strength reaches the Legend of Destiny.
The previous ‘Dragon Blacksmith’ was killed by him alone.
Now that he has been corrupted by the demon again, he is likely to inherit some of the characteristics of the abyss demon, which will increase the strength of this legendary warrior to another level.
"Break the door!"
The gray dwarf prince gave the order, and the palace door was knocked open by a group of gray dwarf warriors.
In the spacious hall, the flowing lava carved vertical grooves from the black basalt walls.
The surroundings are hot and the smell of sulfur is still in the air.
Countless thick black pillars support the ceiling, one by one extending to the end of the hall.
Brian looked around and saw a polished obsidian altar with a throne made of steel standing on it.
He saw two figures of gray dwarves in gorgeous clothes, busy around the altar. Wisps of lingering dark aura constantly overflowed from the black magic circle of the altar.
Obviously, the reason why the Deep King has not appeared for so long is because he is performing some kind of evil ritual.
Through his own mysterious knowledge, Brian quickly determined that this was a summoning ritual connecting to the bottomless abyss.
“They must be stopped as soon as possible.” He solemnly reminded the stone giant priest and gray dwarf prince beside him.
As a result, everyone quickly quickened their pace and rushed towards the hall.
The moment a group of people stepped into the hall, the fifty stone guards who had been waiting for a long time all released their invisibility, each raised their shields and swords, and formed a formation to block them.
The Stone Guards are the most elite troops in Aldus King City, and their strength is at least level two. The strength of these gray dwarf veterans carefully selected from the Stone Guards in front of them is all maintained at the level of Level three and above.
Facing this group of heavily armed elite warriors, blocking their path like a steel city wall, even Brian clearly felt a little pressure.
——“The molten stone bursts!”
The stone giant priest took the lead, and as he murmured obscure giant language, white-hot embers suddenly appeared out of thin air, surrounding the priest, covering his old figure.
I saw him tremblingly stretching out his brass staff from the smoke, and pointed lightly at the charging gray dwarf warriors.
Countless tiny, hot volcanic rocks with dark red magma on the surface shot out from the white smoke embers around the old priest, crackling into the formation of the stone guards, and bursting out into balls of hot fire. .
Although the gray dwarf warriors relied on their excellent defensive armor to offset most of the damage caused by the volcanic rock explosion.
But as these lava-like volcanic rocks exploded, the hot and sticky magma splashed everywhere, constantly seeping into the gaps in the gray dwarf warriors' armor, adhering to the linings and skin of their cotton clothes, making a sizzling sound. The burning sound.
A series of painful wails came from the mask, and even a few gray dwarf warriors who could not bear the burning skin of the magma dropped their weapons and hurriedly began to take off their armor.
The neat formation of the stone guards was immediately beaten to pieces by this powerful magic.
——"Fireball!"
——"Metamagic Specialty: Spell Power!"
——"Arcane Explosion!"
Faced with this situation, Brian would naturally not forget to use a powerful evocation spell.
"Boom!"
A dark red fireball as big as a basin fell into the place where the stone guards were densest. The blazing fire exploded, the high-temperature flames raged, and the violent impact was accompanied by The loud noise made the entire palace seem to be shaking.
Three gray dwarf warriors were blown to pieces on the spot, and a dozen other gray dwarf warriors wearing heavy armor were knocked away by the turbulent air waves turned into the aftermath of the powerful flames.
With the loud clang of the armor, they were thrown heavily to the hard ground. They vomited blood and lay on the ground dejectedly, wailing in pain.
Looking at the power produced by a fireball, the stone giant priest who raised his staff and was preparing for the next magical spell couldn't help but glance at Brian in surprise.
The gray dwarf prince immediately raised his war hammer that was engulfed in flames, led his men, and rushed towards the group of scattered stone guards.
This battle had no heralds, no flags, no trumpets, and no rumbling drums. It was accompanied by the crackling sound of heavy crossbows emitting explosive crossbow bolts. In an instant, in the spacious hall, people on both sides The gray dwarves fought together.
——"Burning Hands!"
The moment Brian raised his staff, cone-shaped flames, like hot focused flamethrowers, enveloped everything within his range On the gray dwarf warrior.
With the blessing of the pyrotechnics of the rune staff, the moment the flames engulf the enemy, there will be a crackling sound like a firecracker.
Since the physical defense of these fully armed gray dwarf warriors is very good, and his flame arrows are penetrating damage, in this case, it is the "Burning Hand" that plays an unexpected role. Wonderful effect.
Every gray dwarf warrior enveloped by the "Burning Hands" is like an iron can that has been baked at high temperature on a flame. In the blink of an eye, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Just like this, Brian wandered around the edge of the battlefield, shuttling between the stone pillars, occasionally releasing magic from the hidden shadows to kill his opponents, harvesting experience, and looking up at the obsidian altar from time to time. progress.
When he learned that this summoning ritual could no longer be stopped, he prepared for the worst.
Hesiah, holding a rune sword, stood by his side, resisting all enemies who tried to approach him.
It won’t take a while.
The battle was over before Bryan, who was focusing on last-hitting, even noticed.
These fifty stone guards were either killed, or there were a few dying warriors on the ground near the obsidian altar in the escape hall, constantly screaming and moaning.
More than a dozen of the gray dwarf prince’s men were also disabled in this melee.
As everyone continued to approach the obsidian altar, Brian finally saw clearly the King of the Deep, who was wrapped in dark red armor. Beside him was a female gray dwarf, wearing a gorgeous dress studded with gold.
There is no doubt that this female gray dwarf is definitely a succubus.
The succubus is the most beautiful demon in the bottomless abyss. It usually likes to appear as a humanoid creature with a peerless appearance to seduce mortals for the purpose of survival.
In addition to the Succubus Queen of the Abyss, the Demon Lord Graz'zt also likes to hire Succubi as his advisors and lovers.
Although with Brian's aesthetic sense, he couldn't tell how beautiful this female gray dwarf transformed from a succubus was, but just looking at her eyes, she felt something inexplicable. Amazing allure.
This feeling is like a passionate young man who has been in military training for three years and suddenly walks on the street. Even if he sees a sow, he can still tell that he has beautiful features.
It can be seen from this that the strength of this succubus is by no means comparable to that of ordinary succubi. It is not impossible that he is even the lover of the demon lord and the spokesperson of the material world.
Otherwise, this King of the Deep, whose strength has reached the legendary level, will not be fascinated and fall into the abyss.
"I want to talk to you privately, father."
The gray dwarf prince strode forward with his war hammer on his shoulder, and glanced coldly at the eight people blocking the altar. Stone Guard, said to the King of the Deep, "You must know some of the things I have seen and learned."
"Stop talking!" The stern-faced Deep King forcibly interrupted Erdi's words.
"I believe that you must have talked with Stonespeaker Hegram and these two outsiders from the surface. I can even imagine what they said, and they tried to provoke us. Relationship. My child, I promise you that everything I do is to safeguard the interests of the people of Aldus King City to the greatest extent."
The King of Deep Land glanced at the female gray dwarf beside him. He looked pious and enthusiastic and said:
"Under the guidance of my Lord Graz'zt, I will start a new era for our kingdom in the Underdark."
"Hogar, Don't talk nonsense to these people." The female gray dwarf transformed by the succubus locked her eyes on Brian.
"I have received new instructions from my Lord. These two surface people not only destroyed my Lord's great plan to come to the Underdark, but also stole my Lord's most precious items. Kill them immediately! Take back what belongs to my Lord!" Come to me and kill these intruders who are destroying my Lord's plan!" The king of the deep land held the battle ax in his hand and roared, and his short and strong body suddenly expanded to about two meters.
——"Fireball!"
At this moment, Brian's spell was also charged up, and he rushed towards the Deep King with a hiss.
“Boom!”
The fireball that landed on the Deep King exploded, erupting into scorching fire and turbulent air waves.
However, Brian found that the King of the Deep stood motionless in the smoke.
The damage from the fireball did not cause any substantial damage at all, except for helping him clean up the thick beard on his chin and lips.
Seeing that the fireball had little effect, he was not too surprised.
Because the essence of his attack is to test the specialization direction of this gray dwarf warrior who has reached the legendary realm.
After all, after any profession reaches the legendary level, it will usher in a qualitative leap.
Even warriors, a profession that was once considered the most difficult profession, will usher in an explosive period of glory.
However, among the original inhabitants of the material world, including their player groups, there are still too few warriors who can survive or successfully enter the legendary realm.
However, once they reach the legendary realm and master the powerful expertise of the legendary level, such as legendary toughness, legendary will, legendary magic resistance, etc., they can even resist the wizard's nine-ring spell.
Of course, this still cannot avoid the fact that he will be hung up and beaten by a spell caster of the same level.
As for Brian's current ability, it is obviously still impossible to beat a legendary warrior. It is not surprising that he was killed carelessly.
Because of this level of fighting, the opponent can make countless mistakes by virtue of his level of suppression and strong immunity ability, and he only needs to make one mistake to lose his life in an instant.
As the thick smoke dissipated, the burly and strong Deep King turned his wrist, and the heavy battle ax that grew in size along with his body was raised high.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble, and invisible and turbulent air waves erupted from the burly body of the Deep King.
Then he shouted loudly and swung down a heavy ax the size of a door panel, slashing straight in Brian's direction.
Legendary Earth Splitting Slash!
Seeing this blow, Brian's eyelids jumped, but at this moment he did not retreat.
Because he knew that with an attack of this magnitude, there was almost no room to dodge.
The King of Deep Earth roared, and the fine gold heavy ax struck the hard surface.
In an instant, the earth was like a pool, and sharp stone cones splashed up under the heavy ax wielded by the Deep King. At this moment, the sharp stone blades were like thousands of troops under the command of the heavy axe. Galloping and charging forward.
There were bursts of violent roars, accompanied by flying dust, smoke instantly filled the air, and a wave of turbulent waves suddenly rose on the ground, sweeping towards everyone.
The surging momentum of the Deep King who arrived in the legendary realm exploded without reservation at this moment, immediately giving people an irresistible sense of oppression.
He just stood there, making people feel like he was the king of rock and earth.
——“Ictoplasmic Wall!”
——“Arcane Barrier!”
Faced with such a majestic attack, Brian did not panic at all, and held up two defensive barriers for himself one after another. Hesiah who was guarding him also waved the rune sword and displayed the protection of his sword.
A group of warriors, led by the gray dwarf prince Erdi, immediately put up strong shields to block this menacing impact.
As the stone giant priest who is closest to the earth, he waved his staff and an earth-yellow spell aura emerged. He used his hard power to forcibly dispel the attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of dull crashes sounded. Except for the gray dwarf prince, all his men were hit by the impact of the flying rocks. Fly out upside down.
On Brian's side, which was the main target of the attack, as the translucent ectoplasm energy wall was broken through, these surging attacks were successfully blocked by the force field barrier that he and Hesiah simultaneously held up.
Through the barrier and the flying dust, Brian saw the female gray dwarf guarding near the altar speeding up the progress of the summoning ceremony.
At the same time, the remaining stone guards also launched an attack on their group under the command of the Deep King.
——"Ferocious charge!"
Brian saw the King of the Deep leaping into anger and his eyes locked on him, like a discharged cannonball or an afterimage, It ran straight towards him.
——"Ictoplasm Wall!"
Facing the charge of the legendary warrior, Brian remained calm as always and responded to the enemy. While he once again built a protective wall for himself, he used half of the arcane energy to Injected into the protective barrier.
"Bang!"
The translucent ectoplasmic wall was like fragile glass, which was mercilessly smashed by the King of the Deep, and rushed towards Brian without any pause.
——"Stone Wall Technique!"
At this moment, the stone giant priest waved his staff, and a thick stone wall suddenly appeared on the path where the Deep King was running.
“Bang!”
With a loud explosion, the stone wall was once again smashed into pieces by the burly body of the King of the Deep.
But Brian clearly felt that the opponent's body suddenly stagnated, and he paused before continuing to charge towards him.
“Clang!”
A harsh sound of gold and iron echoed.
The gray dwarf prince, who transformed into an orc-sized man through his natural spell, waved the flaming war hammer in his hand, stood in front of Brian, and fought with the King of the Deep.
Seeing this situation, Brian motioned to Hesiah to ignore it and just let the stone giant priest and Erdi deal with it.
Then, they set their sights on the gray dwarves near the altar.
——"Psychic Any Door!"
With a thought, he opened a portal, and together with the sword mage, he completely stayed away from this chaotic battlefield and came to the altar.
Hisaya held the rune sword that was engulfed in flames without hesitation, turned into a ray of light and shadow, and rushed towards the gray dwarf at a dizzying speed.
The rune sword in her hand was wrapped in arcane flames and stabbed at the female gray dwarf transformed from the succubus.
The gray dwarf looked startled, and activated a deep magic shield for himself in time, which was able to block Hesiah's fatal attack.
Then, the gray dwarf sneered, twisted his short and stocky body, and in a sudden cloud of smoke, transformed into the original appearance of the abyss devil: a statue-like graceful body, a wide dark red bat. Wings, and a pair of eyes that sparkle with evil light.
——"Spell-like ability: Evil Shadow Strike!"
The Abyss Succubus shook its wings and flew to the ceiling. While avoiding the slash of Xisayiya's sword, it raised its long whip filled with evil light. , and struck down condescendingly.
——"Double Thunder Slash!"
Xiseya recited a spell, lightly touched the sword with his left hand, and flashed past, and the crackling blue and white lightning suddenly filled the entire blade. , and immediately faced the succubus' whip without fear.
Brian ignored the battle between the succubus and the sword mage, and ran straight towards the altar.
Just when he was about to reach the altar, a palpitating feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and a burst of cold air suddenly came out of his back.
Brian immediately realized something. His expression turned cold, and in a flash of thought, he slammed the rune staff in his hand toward the ground at an extremely fast speed.
——"Advanced Explosive Flame Technique!"
The moment the magic attached to the staff was activated, with his body as the center, violent energy spewed out hot fire like a volcano erupting. flame.
In this hall that was suddenly illuminated red by firelight, two gray dwarves carrying sword sheaths were reflected.
They all held an almost invisible sharp sword in their hands, and stabbed Brian in the back and neck one after another.
As the bursting flames crackled on the thick beards and clothes of the two gray dwarf assassins, the raging fire waves directly interrupted their fatal blow and knocked them away mercilessly. Go out, rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
——"Fire Arrow!"
Bryan waved his staff, threw out five crossbow bolts in one breath, and released the flaming arrows one after another, successfully harvesting the two gray dwarves. Assassin's life.
"Target is dead!"
“Soul energy is being extracted.”
“Experience points gained: 10,000 points!”
…………
“The target is dead!”
"Extracting soul energy."
"Gain experience points: 8000 points!"
…………
Brian quickly glanced at the system bar and immediately judged the approximate strength of the two gray dwarf assassins. The empty scabbards they carried knew that they were definitely assassins hired by the Deep King from the 'Empty Scabbard Killer' organization.
He could only be grateful that he was a psychic. The moment he sensed the strange spiritual energy fluctuations, he activated the magic in the staff without hesitation.
Otherwise, he would definitely be attacked to death by these two sharp swords transformed from spiritual energy.
Then, he did not dare to waste time and immediately checked the summoning energy fluctuations of the Obsidian Altar based on his own secret knowledge.
When he judged what kind of abyss demon was about to be summoned, his mind quickly turned around, he quickly took out a pile of materials and energy gems, and carved a summoning circle on the ground.
A six-pointed star formation appeared on the obsidian altar, and a repressed and crazy evil aura quickly filled the entire hall.
“Oops! The Abyss Demon is coming out!”
The stone giant priest who joined forces with the gray dwarf prince to deal with the Abyss King saw the strange situation on the altar, and his turbid pupils shrank suddenly. , his calm expression became ugly.
This melee has already fallen into a stalemate. If another powerful abyss demon appears, they are likely to fall into a fatal crisis.
What made him even more anxious was that the Deep King, as a warrior whose strength reached the legendary level, was very tenacious in dealing with it. If it weren't for his spell interference, the gray dwarf prince would have been killed on the spot.
Because of this, he had no spare time to display powerful magic.
When the Stone Giant Priest saw the Deep King breaking free from his stone claws again, he immediately focused his attention and dealt with the immediate crisis for the time being.
“Come out!”
"Let these people taste the anger from the abyss!"
The Abyss Succubus sneered at everyone in the hall while blocking Hesiah's fierce attack.
Such confident words obviously indicate that the summoning circle has been completed and it is difficult to stop it.
The light of the summoning spell quickly dissipated.
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge, fat, and bloated body.
It looks like a humanoid demon, or it once belonged to a demon, but now all that's left here is a disgusting demon corpse.
Under the dark red skin of this monster, it looks like a balloon filled with water. Its huge head is stuck between the shoulders, and its neck cannot be seen at all. The fat on its face is crowded It was so heavy that I couldn't even find my eyes.
"Abyss Parasitic Beast!"
The stone giant priest showed a horrified look. He subconsciously looked at the stalemate on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but want to retreat in his heart.
