Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 445: Crazy Mage - Maca
However, their attacks did have some effect.
The old wizard turned around and glared at them: "Fools, do you think you can hinder Maka's great cause?"
Levi suddenly realized, "You are the crazy wizard who tried to enslave demons more than once - Maka?"
The old wizard puffed out his chest proudly: "Yes, it's me!"
Looking at the other party's smug look, Levi was speechless, but also felt a little troubled, because the other party was indeed not easy to mess with.
Generally speaking, summoning demons and devils, or signing a contract with them, is definitely evil.
But if after summoning the other party, one turns around and uses it as a slave, driving it to eliminate other evil beings, this can no longer be considered evil, because the summoner has prevented the other party from causing greater damage in advance.
The most obvious example is some warlocks, who may control multiple demons to fight, such as the fel imps that throw flaming arrows, and the blue fat man who acts as a meat shield - the Voidwalker, etc.
Or simply summoning them just to slaughter them, that is not considered an evil act, demons and devils have no human rights.
The Chaos Dwarves, who are also very good at enslaving and slaughtering demons, are not classified as evil because of this.
The reason why they are considered an evil camp is simply because they adopt the same approach towards other races such as humans.
Of course, killing demons in this way is not an act of kindness.
This crazy wizard - Maka, is such a case.
It is said that his family was once attacked by demons, and ever since then, he has been determined to seek revenge.
Although he summoned demons many times, he always enslaved and slaughtered them. He also liked to test various toxins and diseases on demons to torture and seek revenge.
Therefore, his actions were favored by the god of vengeance, Hohr, and the goddess of poison and disease, Talona, as well as the tacit approval and support of some forces that had been invaded by demons and devils.
Therefore, it might not be very difficult to kill him, even though his level should be above 15.
But after killing him, it is possible to offend the churches of the two gods and more potential small forces.
Many people have suffered from the harm of demons and monsters. Maka's act of revenge will undoubtedly win the other party's favor. After all, his madness has always been directed at these two kinds of evil, not others.
However, why is it that when the situation has become so critical, none of the opponent's chosen heroes want to protect Maka?
Do you really trust his power completely , or is this another trap?
Based on the opponent's previous performance, Levi would not underestimate the opponent, even though he still didn't know the name of the opponent's leader.
Just as Levi was hesitating for a moment, Maka shouted again: "Since you have heard of my name, why don't you get out of here!"
Levi couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that the other party's madness was a cover-up, but he didn't expect that he would dare to speak so arrogantly in front of him and Kalida. He was really crazy!
So even if the other party has a backer, he doesn't want to hold back anymore.
Those two gods both have weak divine power, but in this situation, he can only choose to kill the other party. The other party has a god behind him, doesn’t he have one too?
Compared to Lilith's true power, the two of them were obviously much weaker.
The god of vengeance - Hoar, his duties are revenge, retribution, and fair rewards and punishments.
But generally speaking, only the weak will seek revenge on the strong.
Even for God, giving the weak the power of revenge is often a thankless task.
Moreover, when encountering difficulties, the good camp is more inclined to seek help from the god of justice - Tyr.
Tyr is not only a powerful god, but also the leader of the Three Holy Ones of Justice. He has the medium-powered god of suffering - Ilmater, and the weak-powered god of righteousness - Torm as his subordinate gods.
Both of them are very passionate about fighting evil, and asking for help from one of them is at least equivalent to asking for help from three.
At the same time, Tyr is also very popular in the good camp and has a lot of friends.
Those in the evil camp often seek help from evil gods such as Bane, the god of tyranny. No matter their individual strength or sphere of influence, they are much stronger than the god of vengeance.
More importantly, the God of Vengeance is now alone and has no friends.
He was once a member of the Babylonian pantheon among the human gods, but later most of the gods in the pantheon were slaughtered by the green-skinned gods. He might be the only survivor, at least according to the known information.
While he had no friends, he had more than one enemy.
The first are naturally the green-skinned gods, who have always wanted to wipe out the roots.
If it weren't for the fact that the power of the greenskins was gradually shrinking as the power of humans and other races continued to expand, seriously affecting their strength, the God of Vengeance would probably not have lived to this day.
The second is Anhor, the god of war in the Egyptian pantheon.
Anhor was not the first Egyptian god of war; his predecessor was killed by the god of vengeance at his peak.
Whether it's for face, for revenge, or to seize possible relics, An He has enough reasons to declare war on the God of Vengeance.
Anhe and the green-skinned gods may not be able to kill the God of Vengeance in one go, but there are still many ways to hinder the development of his church in the main world.
So after the God of Vengeance has been around for so many years, under the continuous attacks of many enemies, his godhood level is only 2 now.
And it is foreseeable that unless the green-skinned gods decline further, his future will probably be like this.
In comparison, the goddess of poison and disease, Talona, is more dangerous.
Because wherever her priests go, they spread poison, disease, plague, etc. to spread the glory of the goddess.
But precisely because of this, she and her church are the kind of existence that are hated by both humans and ghosts.
Because even elemental creatures or undead will cultivate some special plants and animals to conduct magical experiments, or to trade with other forces, etc.
Not to mention humans, dwarves, elves, etc., they need to eat and have food.
There are also frequent rumors that they would deliberately make some wealthy people or nobles sick and then treat them to make a profit, which makes them even more unpopular.
But just like Ms. Doom, there are some gods that you may not believe in, but you cannot offend them casually.
In addition, her church also sells various poisons and antidotes, and tests the safety of food for some high-ranking officials, nobles, or wealthy people.
So she was doing much better than Hall and had always been at the peak of her weak divine power.
With the recent large-scale outbreak of plague in human society, her power may increase dramatically in a short period of time, and gods related to nature and life may be seriously affected.
But despite this, Levi still resolutely chose to launch an attack. If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think it is a sick cat?
"Maka, right? Once the demon is actually summoned, you'll know who the real idiot is!"
If the other party is a Slaanesh demon, how could he be tamed so easily by mortals?
How can a demon with its own god be the same as an ordinary demon? If they have to submit, they will only submit to their own god!
This hammer of justice was once again blocked by the pink and purple mist and failed to cause any damage.
But everyone can see that it also has its limits. After enduring this attack, it has obviously become much thinner and can only withstand a few more similar attacks at most.
Maka, who originally looked crazy, suddenly looked stern. He did not expect these unexpected intruders to be so powerful.
If he hadn't had so many God-chosen heroes with their troops to help him, his action might not have been successful.
Regardless, the ritual was now drawing to a close, and soon he would be able to release those special demons to slaughter, torture, and experiment on them.
As long as he can complete this operation, he may truly become the elect of the great Hall!
But he was happy too early. Just as Levi was about to release the second Hammer of Justice, Khalida also raised her weapon and launched a special attack.
After hearing the name Maka, she quickly realized the crux of the problem. As a close ally, she naturally could not let Levi face such a thing alone.
The legendary hero's full-strength attack should not be underestimated. The already precarious magic defense was immediately broken, and then the remaining force continued, and a large area of yellow sand exploded.
The many magic units that were still maintaining their magic suddenly screamed, crawled away from their positions, and hurriedly poured various potions into their mouths.
It’s not just because they were attacked, but also because the attack contained extremely corrosive toxins!
Moreover, the poison was incredibly strong. Even Maca, who thought highly of himself, was forced to suspend the ceremony for a moment and frantically took out a bunch of magic scrolls and potions.
But because of this delay, the evil spirit that was originally firmly bound in the middle of the magic circle began to twist unconsciously.
As a legendary hero, even if he was a newly promoted green-skinned warrior, even if he was tricked into walking into the magic circle, he still had a certain consciousness of resistance in his trance.
For a moment, Maka was in a panic. He had to avoid the attacks, protect himself, and also divide his energy to control the magic circle to prevent the evil courage from suddenly waking up and killing them all.
It was really difficult for him to multitask.
He said angrily, "Damn it, you have no idea what you are doing!"
But he himself did not realize that even though his body was in extreme pain, a smile of pleasure unconsciously appeared on his face.
He also didn't notice that in the shadows behind him, there was a vague presence approaching.
Due to the distance, Levi was unable to notice these details for the time being. He was just a little surprised by Khalida's attack.
She had shot with the snake-head spear before, but never with such power as this one.
Could it be the reward she received after officially pledging allegiance to Lilith last time?
Noticing Levi's questioning look, Khalida was satisfied that she had finally regained some face.
But now is not the time to explain, they should first try to defeat the other party and end this summoning ceremony.
Noticing her eyes, Levi temporarily put aside his doubts. It was not a big deal anyway. As a reliable ally, the stronger Khalida was, the better.
But before he could launch another attack, his pupils suddenly shrank, because silently, a dozen black-clad ninjas jumped out from the shadows, and their target was not them, but the crazy wizard - Maka.
There were also several translucent warrior ghosts that emerged directly from the earth.
At the same time, several crow tengu appeared in the air. They were wearing wooden clogs and holding Zen sticks. They were roughly human-like, but had crow-like sharp beaks and black wings. They were level 5 flying monster soldiers.
Then more beings dressed as Onmyoji emerged from the darkness.
Beside them are a large number of shikigami with Nibon characteristics.
Guanhu, dog god, bone girl, peach blossom demon, demon fox, Qingji...
But their appearance was not to protect Maka, but to kill him!
Caught off guard, Maka's many defenses were instantly broken, and his whole old face was twisted with pain, but he was more angry and confused.
"Why? Didn't we agree to take revenge on the devil together?"
But no one responded to him. There was a flash of silver light, and Maka's head flew out and landed right in the center of the magic circle, becoming a companion to Evil Gall.
The ninja who took action immediately hid back into the darkness, leaving only one sentence.
"Fool, you are also part of the sacrifice, otherwise why do you think you can obtain such forbidden knowledge so easily?"
"Everything is for the glory of Tianjin Wolf Star!"
As he shouted, many Shikigami began to fight against the celestial creatures summoned by Levi, and an unprecedented ambiguous light quickly spread outward with the magic circle as the center.
Affected by this, many humans who were originally still fighting began to moan in a voice that sounded like pain and joy.
No matter whether they were preparing to attack or dodging, they stopped all movements at this moment, just stood there, even closing their eyes, as if they were enjoying something.
When swords and knives were approaching their bodies, they did not flinch at all, nor did they feel any pain. Instead, their faces showed an even more enjoyable expression.
Seeing this look, Levi knew it was too late. The other party's performance was obviously blessed by the demon of Slaanesh.
The beastmen and others were also affected in a similar way, except for the few surviving undead who were unaware of it and still persisted in resisting.
Looking again, the evil spirit in the magic circle had disappeared, and instead, there was a humanoid creature with pink and purple skin and very cool clothes.
It has several short, rugged horns on its head, and where its hands should be, there are crab-like claws that look extremely sharp.
Between its ferocious sharp teeth was a venomous snake-like tongue, and with a pair of goat hooves under its knees, it was undoubtedly a demon.
But unlike the beautiful succubus, its face is ugly and distorted.
But the humans around it who were affected looked at it with eyes full of love and greed, and they seemed to want to possess it completely immediately.
It is said that some special demons possess unique abilities. No matter what their true appearance is, they often appear differently in the eyes of different creatures, and this appearance is also the one that is most popular with the other party.
It is precisely because of this ability that they can seduce many intelligent races with different aesthetics, such as humans, dwarves, elves, etc.
All these things seem to indicate that Maka has already summoned the real Slaanesh demon, and the one in the magic circle now may just be a trigger and bait.
Where is the real evil courage now?
Levi couldn't help but secretly complain. Really, the intelligence of this Harpist team was really unreliable.
What else did they know except that the evil spirits had come in and that the other side had a large number of people?
Thinking of this, he secretly sent out some shadow elementals and rat masters to try to find the real location of the evil gall.
But no matter what, a considerable part of the enemy's troops have temporarily given up resistance, which is a good opportunity for us to intensify our attack!
So Levi started with the Holy Ice Storm, followed by the Black Tentacles and the Rainbow Eyes. His purpose was not only to kill the enemy, but also to identify the stronger ones of the opponent through this method.
At the same time, he once again secretly lamented that the large-scale attack magic he mastered was still not enough to deal with the current situation.
It may take indigenous wizards several years to reach the next level. During this process, they have enough time and energy to prepare new magic for themselves.
But as a hero chosen by God, his level increased too quickly, which resulted in a serious shortage of corresponding magic reserves.
He was clearly already a level 17 wizard, but the strongest magic he could master was only level 7, namely Dragon's Oath and Finger of Death...
After this battle is over, we should really work hard in this direction.
If nothing else, copying Yangyan Blast from Michaela shouldn't be a problem.
At the same time, the subordinates also launched an all-out attack. Some enemies temporarily stopped, but they would not show mercy.
It was only at this time that Levi and his companions truly realized that although the other side had a mixed race, most of them were actually cannon fodder.
The real main force actually comes from the Onmyojis of Nipon.
They don't have many troops around them, but they can summon Shikigami to fight and use various spells to assist. In this respect alone, their fighting style is quite similar to Levi's.
These shikigami are not only numerous in number but also varied in types, with many novel abilities. The damage may not be particularly high, but they make the army's own army very uncomfortable when they first come into contact with them.
Moreover, a considerable number of them are spirits or have damage reduction abilities, which delayed Levi's attack for a while.
Then the Onmyojis worked together to cast a large barrier, temporarily blocking the attacks of Levi and others, and then turned around and began to cast the spell again, as if they wanted to replace the crazy wizard Maka and continue to complete the ritual.
At the same time, Levi gradually discovered that not all of those Onmyojis were heroes chosen by God.
The several strong men in the lead, especially the middle-aged man with gray hair and half of his face covered with burn marks, should all be indigenous people.
Even though they look similar on the outside, there are still huge differences in many details, such as spreading hands, shrugging shoulders, etc.
And he was not bragging. If he was just a God-chosen hero, the barrier he cast might not be enough to withstand the joint attack of him and Khalida.
While launching the attack, Khalida was more focused on other things.
Tianjin Wolf Star is the god of hatred and revenge among the gods of Nebon.
The mad wizard, Maka, has always been favored by the god of vengeance, Hall.
If these Onmyojis from Nipon were simply using this method to gain Maka's initial trust, then that would be fine.
If this was instigated by Tianjin Wolfstar, things might be a little unusual.
Tianjin Wolf Star is a chaotic evil god, a thoroughgoing evil god, and his combat power is much stronger than that of Howl. Among the gods of Nibon, he is second only to the three noble ones: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo.
If he were to launch any conspiracy, it would probably be another disaster for the mortals in the main world.
The gods of Nibon have never been well-known, that is entirely because they are located in the east and are constantly oppressed by the dragon gods of Zhendan, just like the gods of Inda who are also adjacent to Zhendan.
The presence of this overly powerful neighbor made them pale in comparison.
But in fact, Nibon also has a population of over ten million, and Shintoism is extremely developed. Even the Indian gods are quite eager for the population there and have tried to spread Buddhism to the east more than once.
If Tianjin Wolf Star tried to leave there and move to the land under his feet, as a medium-level god, most gods would probably find it difficult to match him.
But then she laughed a little. Even if he really had some conspiracy, that was something the gods should worry about, not her.
All she could do was to report the information to Lilith in a timely manner and win the battle at hand.
At this moment, Khalida's expression suddenly changed, and her priests discovered the secret here through some small insects.
There seemed to be a small layer hidden under the magic circle, where the real evil spirit was, tied up tightly, still serving as a sacrifice.
After quickly sharing this information with Levi, they made a common decision, which was to release the evil gall and disrupt the battle situation here.
Even though E'dan had a grudge against them, after learning that he was being used as a sacrifice, his first reaction would definitely be to swing his sword at these Onmyojis!
With this in mind, Levi asked Nochon, Sonia, and the newcomer Kerillian to bring some scorpion guards who could burrow underground, and work together with the tomb priests to carry out this mission.
Compared to Donna, Cindy and Elegy, they all seemed to underperform in most situations.
But this does not mean that they are incapable, they just lack an opportunity!
