Chapter 277 A Little Strange Move
“My plan is actually very simple. Due to the next action, we need to go to Avernus below. However, on the bloody battlefield, too many people acting together will become a group. A dangerous burden, a fatal risk.”
“Because the more people there are, the more likely they are to be discovered by devils or demons. In the face of the enemy’s overwhelming numerical advantage, there is nothing wrong with us sending four people and ten people. difference, so I plan to have no more than four people on this mission.”
“In addition to the difficulty of concealment due to too many people, the more important reason is that I have a way to bring no more than three people. The number of people passed through the battlefield between devils and demons without anyone noticing."
Nohir pointed to the three bottles on the table.
"These three bottles are trophies I seized from the private collection of the hunter. Their function is to carry living creatures, and there are no restrictions on types. This means that humans can also be loaded in. The only thing that needs to be noted is Each bottle can only hold one creature. The creatures inside can survive normally, but will still feel hungry and thirsty. However, I personally think this is not a big shortcoming. You can find time to solve it during the operation. "
Everyone's eyes brightened when they heard this, and Zander immediately spoke.
“That’s it! You mean to say that with these things, we only need to have a person with good enough stealth skills and the ability to protect these three containers to carry them, so that we can maximize the The possibility of avoiding detection instantly reduces the difficulty of bypassing the battlefield by several levels.”
“This idea is indeed very feasible, but wait a moment, let’s not say who will be chosen for this. Carrier, but with this mode of action, isn’t it a little too difficult for the people carrying these bottles?”
Zander instantly understood Nohir’s thoughts, but then he also After mentioning the disadvantages of this idea, Advisor Florrick also said it sincerely.
"Indeed, Zander is right. Although going around the battlefield alone can reduce a lot of worries, it is a bloody battle in the abyss after all. Anything can happen in the process. When everyone else is pretended, , all the pressure will be placed on the carrier, and if something happens to the carrier, there may not even be a chance to pull out the plug and release the others. In just a moment, the entire team may be wiped out. "< br>
Who is capable of such a feat? Who has the guts to take such a risk? If this problem cannot be solved, then this plan may be destined to be impossible to succeed. At this time, everyone is aware of this, but they ask themselves that they may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, and at this moment.
"I can, this plan was proposed by me, so of course I have ways to avoid this risk."
Looking at the surprised faces of everyone, Nohir smiled, Then he said a set of words that he had prepared long ago.
“I found something particularly interesting in the private collection of the hunter. It was a red stone with its function marked in the Purgatory language. Just read the words above Once the spell is cast, the stone will give the user the power to transform into an incubus and gain all the natural abilities of a normal incubus.”
"I used that stone, and now I can transform into a dream demon, and the dream demon is a natural shape-shifting creature. This race can transform into various humanoid creatures by its own will, including of course Including all kinds of devils that are no larger than medium-sized. With this ability, I can use this trick to get through most of the devil's checkpoints unscathed, which directly eliminates almost half of the risk."
After saying this, Nohir stood up directly from the chair, and then instantly transformed into a handsome dream demon in front of everyone, and then relied on the dream demon's natural ability to not only transform into a beard Demons, hedgehogs, and even chain demons.
Everyone who saw this scene had no doubts. Although they had never heard of anything that could completely transform a creature into some kind of devil, they also knew about similar things and even saw them. There have been many, such as the Druid's transformation, or some kind of transformation equipment. There is no shortage of such things in the main material plane. The most famous one is the legendary artifact [Dafna's Tooth]. It is said that this is a set of artifacts composed of teeth from hundreds of races. Each of them Any tooth can allow the user to transform into the race of the tooth, ranging from the legendary dragon to the wilderness wolf, which is immutable and omnipotent.
This set of artifacts has appeared several times in history, and each time it caused quite a stir, so compared with the artifacts, this small prop that can transform into a single devil alone It's not that unusual either.
"If I remember correctly, the Dream Demon seems to have an ability called etherification. This ability allows it to temporarily escape into the parallel afterimage of the world, that is, the etheric plane. This ability allows the Dream Demon to Avoiding most attacks in the world, if you have this ability when transforming, then we really don’t have to worry too much about the dangers on the road.”
Consultant Florrick’s major school. It was plastic power, but as a mage, she was still the most knowledgeable among everyone present. The consultant immediately revealed the dream demon's special skills.
The technique of etherification is the fundamental reason why the dream demon race can survive anywhere and survive. There are very few creatures in this world that can attack the etheric plane, and those who can attack the etheric plane at any time can Succubi and incubi with the ability to escape into the etheric plane have become the most difficult to kill species in the world.
However, although the consultant said that this technique is powerful, because there is too little research on incubi and succubi in the world, the consultant does not know the limitations of this magical technique.
The dream demon can only escape into the etheric plane for at most two minutes at a time. After that, even if he doesn't want to at all, he has to exit the etheric plane and return to the main material plane to repair. The most important thing is The reason is the rejection and oppression of the plane itself, but an amorphous magical turbulence called [Ether Hurricane] is also a dangerous encounter that travelers to the Ether Plane have to consider.
This kind of hurricane comes and goes even faster. The time of appearance is completely irregular and there is almost no warning. When you hear a heavy muffled sound in the etheric plane, you'd better get out of it immediately, because even if In one second at night, the roaring ether hurricane will blow you to an unknown place. If you are lucky, you can still find your way back. If you are unlucky, you may even be blown directly to the outer star realm.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Nohir had to add to everyone the limitations of the dream demon's etherification. If you encounter any creature and want to use etherification to avoid it, it will definitely be impossible. This trick is destined to only be used to deal with real emergencies, but fortunately, he has prepared more than this trick.
Nohir took out a strangely shaped cloak that resembled a manta ray directly from the space box.
After seeing this cloak, Ska's eyes widened instantly, showing a look of enlightenment. Others were a little confused. Nohir immediately explained to them the function of this cloak, and in front of everyone When they heard that this cloak could allow the wearer to move through the water at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour, they instantly understood Nohir's idea.
“You want to use this cloak to cross the River Styx!”
Everyone was instantly shocked by Nohir's bold idea. You must know that it is the River Styx, the final destination of all the dead in the multiverse. Legend has it that there are countless souls flowing in the River Styx. The existence of these souls makes the river itself powerful. The magical effect of most creatures in the world will have all their memories instantly washed away if they take a little bit of the water of the Styx. Nohir actually wants to walk through it! What a bold idea!
"Yes, that's what I think. The main trunk of the Styx runs through the nine levels of hell, and its tributaries are all over Avernus. The manta ray cloak can produce magic bubbles to isolate the influence of the river water on me. Although the water of the Styx will corrode magic items to a certain extent, as far as I know, the characteristics of the Styx are that the deeper the water, the more serious the corrosion."
"In other words, I just need to control it well. Dive deeply, only travel on the surface of the Styx, and pay attention to the degree of corrosion of the magic bubbles. Whenever the magic stored in the cloak is insufficient and the bubbles are about to collapse, get out in advance, and repeat the above steps after the magic in the cloak is replenished. This way, you don’t have to worry too much about the danger of the River Styx itself.”
“I can now transform into a dream demon, and I can use this identity to gather information around hell and find Haruman’s location, Manta Cloak. It not only allows us to avoid the confrontation between devils, but also allows us to quickly rush to the scene after finding Haruman’s location. In this way, the above three problems will be solved.”
