Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 446: The Demon of Slaanesh
The battle is still going on. Although the opponent is quite strong, simply getting beaten is not a solution.
Especially when Levi and Khalida opened fire at full force and Donna also rained arrows at them, the opponent's situation became increasingly difficult.
Later on, many Shikigami who could float or fly at low altitudes simply used their bodies to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
But Levi and Donna have always attached great importance to logistics. At this moment, all the archers are using enchanted arrows. Needless to say, the Avalon sisters can use stronger magic arrows themselves.
Therefore, the many protective abilities that the Shikigami possess cannot protect them well.
At the same time, a fierce battle was going on on the ground, with the troops of both sides engaging in a fierce battle.
Those humans who were affected by the evil force and completely gave up resistance were almost all killed. Only the personal guards of the chosen heroes were relatively less affected.
The remaining greenskins, undead, etc. were unable to resist the attack. Even if some ninjas jumped out occasionally, they were just using their lives to delay time.
But despite this, Levi did not relax at all, not only because the old Yin-Yang master looked very relaxed, but also because Cindy was also warning him.
Her operation to purify the bodies of the enemy soldiers was becoming increasingly difficult, especially those humans who had given up resistance.
All signs indicate that the opponent's ritual did not end with the death of the crazy wizard Maka, or in other words, from the very beginning, he was just a pawn.
At this moment, the old Yin Yang Master suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, the ritual was successful, Qingming, I finally have a chance to win you!"
As he laughed, the entire altar shone brightly, and the ambiguous pink and purple light suddenly expanded outward, instantly covering both the enemy and our side within a diameter of nearly 100 meters.
Regardless of race or strength, as long as they are still alive, almost all of them have been affected to varying degrees.
Their eyes were hazy, their movements slowed down, and they seemed to be lost in some wonderful fantasy.
The difference is that the stronger ones, such as Cindy and Elegy, may be able to successfully break away in an instant.
For those who are weaker, the duration may be dozens or hundreds of times longer than theirs, or until Cindy and the priests perform purification on them.
According to the system prompt, the name of this skill is Dream Sinking.
Once hit, the target will enter a state of happiness and joy for a short period of time, and depending on their specific strength, their desire to attack, dodge ability, movement speed, etc. will be reduced.
If they are weaker, they will be almost completely unable to move their bodies, let alone defend themselves, and they can only be slaughtered.
However, the constructs and the like were still unaffected and continued to attack and slaughter the enemies.
Khalida and Levi were stronger and better equipped, so they completely ignored this special influence.
But Levi's eyes focused. Onmyoji, Seimei, should be referring to Abe Seimei, who is famous in Nibon.
The other party looked like this, and regarded him as an opponent...
"Are you Ashiya Doman?"
The old Yin-Yang master was also stunned, and then he laughed again: "I didn't expect that in this remote place, there would be someone, well, there would be an elf who knew my name!"
Levi did not comment. In fact, his knowledge of the famous Onmyoji of Nibon was limited to these two names.
But if it was the other party, it would be understandable why he was able to withstand the attacks from himself and Kalida for so long.
As the recognized onmyoji who can rival Abe Haruaki, Ashiya Doman is also a legendary figure.
This guy from the neutral evil camp was very cunning. No wonder Maka was fooled by him until his death.
I guess the reason why Evil Gall came here and became a sacrifice was also the other party's strategy.
In this case, even if the barrier seems to be in danger, it may be done intentionally by the other party.
High-level magic units, as long as they are not the kind that focus on studying academics and have a little more practical experience, are more cunning than each other, not to mention that Ashiya Doman is known for his many tricks.
And in this way, it can also be connected with the Tianjin Wolf Star that the other party just mentioned .
Tianjin Wolf Star is the god of revenge. After being defeated by Abe Haruaki, Ashiya Doman has been trying to seek revenge, but several previous actions have ended in failure.
Now it seems that he has come up with a new solution, which is to turn to the gods for help.
Ashiya Doman wanted to say something, but at this moment, a roar suddenly came from under the altar, and his face changed immediately.
Looking at Levi with a smile on his face, although it is not clear how the other party discovered it and how he freed himself from the restraints on the evil gall, it is obvious that he can no longer proceed according to the original plan.
Taking another look at the ambiguous light that continued to spread outward, as well as some Onmyoji and Shikigami who also showed their ugly faces, Ashiya Doman was secretly filled with hatred.
Although most of the plans were successful and he got what he originally wanted, this unexpected thing happened and it really made him unhappy!
But he knew what was important and what was not. Even though he was very reluctant and felt very aggrieved, he had no choice but to leave first, because if he didn't leave, he would probably be implicated.
Even though he lifted the seal for the other party, demons are never grateful!
So he waved his sleeves and summoned a high-level Tengu who was holding a round fan, like a graceful nobleman, but had a pair of wings behind his back.
Then the two of them joined forces and turned into a gust of wind, covering all his subordinates and then rushing straight into the sky.
He didn't even say a harsh word before running away.
Levi was surprised by the other party's decisiveness, and then he became a little alert.
Ashiya Doman is very powerful, cunning, decisive and cherishes his life. If he is given a chance, it is not impossible for him to soar to the sky.
However, even if he caught up with the Tianjin Wolf Star and gained power from it, the first thing he would do would be to take revenge on Abe Haruaki, right?
As long as I pay more attention to the information in this area, I can take precautions in advance.
This incident happened suddenly, which made the remaining God-chosen heroes a little dumbfounded, because this was completely different from the plan they had agreed on before.
Originally, Ashiya Doman promised that after the success, in addition to monetary and material rewards, he would also give them some skills to summon Shikigami and drive demons, and help introduce them to several monster tribes.
In this way, coupled with their previous reserves, even if they were wiped out here, they would be able to rise again quickly and be even better than before.
But now he just ran away without even saying hello, and the system also reminded them that all the tasks they accepted had failed.
There is no doubt that Ashiya Michimitsu was planning to break his promise.
Who could have thought that they had just sold the Crazy Wizard - Maka, and now, in just a few minutes, he was sold out again by Ashiya Doman?
Even though they were chosen heroes by God, most of them were not affected by the light, but they still fell into chaos for a while.
Without Ashiya Doman, there was little point for them to continue staying here.
So several Onmyoji who were good at earth escape techniques started to run away first, and some ninjas also quietly hid in the shadows, or simply used some special ninjutsu and decided to cross the valley.
But the presence of several warriors dressed as warriors and other races made things a bit difficult.
Because even if they want to run, the enemy must be willing to make way for them.
But if they were in the other's place, would they be willing to let the enemy go? Of course not!
So after looking at each other for a few moments and whispering a few words, the remaining God-chosen heroes quickly reached a consensus.
Now that things have come to this, if death is inevitable, then at least we must inflict the greatest possible casualties on the other side.
There were a few clever ones who had other ideas. Doman Ashiya and Maka both thought that the demon sealed here was very special.
They are not as cruel and murderous as ordinary demons, or rather, killing is not what they like most.
Like succubi, they enjoy charming and manipulating their enemies.
So if they choose to pretend to be cooperative, can they work together and gain a chance of survival?
Even though he saw them gathered together, discussing something, Levi didn't have the energy to deal with them.
Because right now he has to focus most of his attention on the Slaanesh demon that is about to appear.
Regardless of how brutal the legendary Slaanesh demon is, just look at the legendary Ashiya Doman, who didn't say a word and directly gave up the evil demon who was also a legendary and was about to become his trophy, which is a clear example.
The demon that is about to appear is at least a legendary existence.
So Levi decisively ordered the Silver Guards and other melee troops to retreat collectively, leaving only a few elites such as Elegy.
At the same time, he quietly summoned the dragon-headed messenger and ordered him to hide, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time.
At the same time, his existence is also a defense against evil.
Although this behavior was not consistent with the habits of celestial creatures, the Dragon Head Messenger obeyed when he knew that the other party was an evil demon.
To deal with this kind of evil, there is naturally no need to follow too many rules.
Thanks to the efforts of pastors like Cindy, most of their operations went smoothly, and they experienced little to no repercussions in the process.
Because those God-chosen heroes are shrinking their battle formations, and seem ready to fight to the end.
Those surviving indigenous people, such as the greenskins, were also indiscriminately attacked by the Dream and Depravity.
Those ogres who are temporarily hired are relatively more difficult to awaken.
Lost in dreams, different races and beings will see different things.
Those who are greedy for money may see gold;
If you are lustful, you may see a beautiful woman.
As for the ogres, seeing their saliva flowing, they must have seen some delicious food.
So Levi could only ask his subordinates to use some special means, such as slapping them hard in the face, or simply using spears to make them bleed.
Under the combined effects of pain and purification spells, they were able to recover barely.
At the same time, Levi was also activating a large number of Death Guards. The performance of the God Guards under Khalida's command just now has made it very clear that these constructs will be more effective in fighting against the opponent.
During this process, Khalida and Donna attacked the altar more than once and indeed destroyed the stone altar.
Unfortunately, the source of the light could not be eliminated, as if they came from another world.
This is consistent with what Levi speculated. The reason why Ashiya Doman escaped so easily was not only because he was aware of the danger, but also because he probably believed that he could no longer affect the seal and its lifting was inevitable.
But they are not without any battle record. The evil spirits that had just been awakened by Kerillian, Sonia and others also took on a lot of attacks.
Even though he was a legendary greenskin, he was still badly beaten and covered in wounds. He didn't even dare to try to fight back. He could only run around like a clumsy wild boar, trying to avoid the attacks.
This is a very rare thing for the warlike greenskins.
Levi could only think that although Evil Gallbladder was not sacrificed, a large amount of his strength was most likely still extracted, causing him to fall into a weak state for a short period of time, so he avoided fighting like this.
Unfortunately, his foundation was there after all. Even facing such an attack, he was just in a mess, and his life was not in danger in the short term.
Seeing this, Elegy couldn't help but be eager to try. She remembered that Levi had specifically reminded her that it would be best to take off Evil Dan's head with her own hands, which would help her become stronger.
But when she looked at Levi, Levi shook his head gently, signaling her not to be reckless.
Because unknowingly, the pink and purple mist had begun to gather and swallowed up all the blood and corpses remaining on the ground.
The appearance of the surviving beastmen, such as gnolls and boarmen, is also changing slowly and steadily.
Their teeth became sharper, their skin glowed with a pink-purple hue, and one to several small lumps appeared on their foreheads, as if something was trying to break free.
All circumstances seem to indicate that they are being transformed into real demons.
Even according to his observation, the current changes are all to the weaker soldiers below level 4, but in this situation, Levi is certainly reluctant to let Elegy take the risk.
Khalida also noticed this situation, but it had almost no effect on her troops.
Thousands of years ago, the Tomb Kings and the Egyptian Gods had already realized that perhaps their armies of constructs and mummies were the most suitable beings to fight against demons.
However, most demons can launch fire attacks, which is very disadvantageous for mummies.
In addition, in the army of the Tomb Kings, the strength of non-constructs is often relatively low, and their hard power is not as good as that of most other races of the same level.
So in many cases in the past, this characteristic of theirs has not been truly demonstrated.
But this time, maybe they can finally be put to good use.
She had never heard of a demon that could make demon horns grow on the foreheads of mummies and skeleton soldiers.
The dragon-headed god, who was using magic to disguise himself as an ordinary mad horse rider, frowned.
The celestial creatures would also take the initiative to launch attacks on the Abyss or the Nine Hells, so he had participated in battles against demons and devils more than once in the past.
But he had never seen such a scene before.
Moreover, this special pink-purple light, as well as the word "Slaanesh" that Levi told him, made him feel very bad.
If he could successfully prevent this disaster, perhaps he would have to report to the Five Lords of Gadin and the Honorable Lion of Heaven.
However, if it was Levi, perhaps their eyes would have been on him all along?
After all, he was probably the only celestial mystic in history who had received the sevenfold blessings of Mount Heaven and survived successfully, at least in his opinion, that was the case.
Thinking of this, the Dragon Head God Messenger couldn't help but come up with an idea.
If the other party can make the legend retreat without a fight, and it involves the legendary demon god, it may not be something he can handle, and he may need to seek more help.
So he quietly leaned towards Levi and explained his meaning.
However, this matter is of no trivial matter. No matter whether it is the Lion of Heaven or the Five Lords of Gaidin, when they are in the realm of bliss, they possess power that rivals or even surpasses ordinary demigods.
Therefore, based on the rules jointly formulated by the gods, they cannot come to the main world at will, at least not without sufficient reasons.
And this is also quite dangerous for them.
After all, they are not real gods and cannot create clones or projections.
If they were attacked by evil gods or demon lords at this time, they would most likely perish completely.
After listening to it, Levi was also cheered up, but he didn't take the so-called rules too seriously.
Not to mention Lilith, Moonbow, and even gods like Sobek and Illidan, who have been coming to the main world frequently recently. Before meeting Illidan, the shepherd god Pan had been wandering in the main world.
Yes, we can assume that their actions were relatively covert, so no god noticed them.
But before, during the Battle of Black Castle, the God of Sea Elves killed many demons with one move, helping the high elves to successfully capture Black Castle.
But is there really anyone willing to pick a fight with him over this matter?
In the final analysis, the so-called rules, in most cases, are only used to restrain the weak, or to allow everyone to save face.
The reason why the Gaiding people attach so much importance to this rule is perhaps because their strength is still very weak in front of the gods.
Even a demigod like the Unicorn Goddess Larui has the ability to create an avatar, but Lord Gadin cannot do it.
So he had already thought about it. If things got really bad and even he and Khalida were powerless together, he would call for Lilith to come.
To him, she was the last insurance.
But now that the Dragon Chief Messenger has proposed other feasible options, he will certainly be more interested.
Lilith was a goddess, not his bodyguard, and her kindness was diminishing the more she used it.
After some secret and quick communication, Levi and the Dragon Head Messenger reached a consensus.
Indeed, the prince and five dukes of the Gaidingtian clan should not show up casually.
However, in the countless years of the past, the title has also been inherited.
Most of them died in battle while in office, so they looked for new replacements, but there were also those who voluntarily abdicated.
Although they lost the blessing of the Paradise after their abdication and their power would be weakened, they were all legendary, which was enough...
At this moment, Kerillian also successfully returned with most of the Scorpion Guards, ready to report to him the details of what she had just seen.
She is now somewhat excited. She originally thought that it would take some time before she could get a chance to perform. After all, there are too many strong people in the team and she can't even get a number.
But who would have thought that Levi would give her this opportunity without her having to actively fight for it?
She completed the task very well, and her companions Sonia and Nuo Chong were also very impressed with her performance, which will help her future development in the team.
But before she could open her mouth, suddenly, the pink and purple light around her suddenly shrank inward, and then expanded again.
There was only a long, weeping groan, and a portal of the same color opened about five or six meters above the ground.
Then, countless demons with pincers as hands and hideous appearance, just like the corpse in the magic circle before, but with expressions on their faces that seemed very happy and joyful, filed out.
Levi couldn't help but frown when he saw their slender bodies, the almost lack of any armor, and their light and swift movements when they landed on the ground.
Based on this point alone, we can judge that they are at least level 3 soldiers, and are relatively difficult and agile types.
However, Khalida next to him immediately corrected his thoughts: "Be careful, Levi, they are Slaanesh demons, 4th-level infantry. In addition to their natural ability to reduce physical and magical damage, each of their attacks has a chance to trigger the Dream Sinking effect."
"As for the other advantages and disadvantages, they are as you can see now."
Levi immediately understood what she meant. The advantages are speed, agility and attack, while the weakness is defense?
If that were all, he wouldn't be a particularly difficult enemy to deal with.
He originally thought that a big BOSS was sealed here, but now it seems that what is sealed here might be a passage, a passage connecting to the kingdom of lust demons!
So Levi directly ordered a general attack, with the flaming skulls and fireballs flying, and enchanted arrows falling from the sky like raindrops.
Even though the opponent's actual defense was not as low as it seemed on the surface, they still suffered heavy losses in just a few seconds. The speed at which the demons jumped out of the passage was actually slower than the speed at which they were slaughtered.
But he was happy too early, because the enemy had more than just this type of soldiers.
Soon some demon cavalry entered the scene and landed on the ground easily with the same agility.
At first glance, the mounts under their crotch look like a combination of a seahorse and a crocodile, with a long and twisted body, only a pair of extremely thick thighs, and a dark gray back with hideous scales with many barbs.
The scales and barbs rubbed the thighs of the knights on their backs until they were bleeding, but their expressions did not show any pain, but instead were full of pleasure.
The mount didn't seem to have any way to attack, but when it opened its mouth, a several-foot-long, sticky, snake-like tongue was revealed.
Regardless of whether they are poisonous or not, being licked by them will definitely make you feel sick.
Moreover, their defensive capabilities were obviously much better, and many cavalrymen even voluntarily gave up on them and used them as cover to withstand the dense rain of arrows.
When the magic of Sally, Sefa and others fell on them, the damage caused was obviously lower.
At the same time, accompanied by a series of sighs or groans, the remaining humans who had many strange things on their bodies before all underwent changes and became Slaanesh demons with almost the same appearance.
The changes for the beastmen were slightly smaller, with just a few more sharp teeth and fangs, and their bodies seemed to have been forcibly stretched and become thinner.
As for those greenskins, apart from a slight change in skin color, there doesn't seem to be any more changes, at least not visible from the outside.
However, the hostile God-chosen heroes who were also paying close attention to the situation let out a series of screams.
Because they were shocked to find that not only were their subordinates transformed into demons very abruptly, but also after the transformation, they immediately severed their master-servant relationship. Now both sides are just enemies!
For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic, with Levi and Khalida's troops, Slaanesh demons, hostile chosen heroes and their troops, rebels who were transformed into demons, and the evil spirits who were still running around and trying to gather the greenskins.
Various forces engaged in brutal fighting with each other, and except for Levi's side, the troops of other sides were mostly entangled together, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, which made the scene even more chaotic.
"Tsk, I've always hated these green-skinned people and skeletons, but fortunately, there are still many people I like here..."
Although it was just a quiet mumbling to oneself, it instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield, and as if it had magical power, it forced most people's eyes to involuntarily look in the direction where the sound came from.
There, a being nearly 10 meters tall emerged from the passage, spinning in an extremely elegant posture.
In addition to the demon's features such as hooves and horns, it has two other extremely special features.
First of all, it has four arms, one pair of which is for holding a normal sword and shield, but the size is several times larger. A long sword is five or six meters long, and the shield has a diameter of three or four meters.
The other pair of arms are crab-shaped claws like those of the Slaanesh demons.
The second special thing is the second feature on its chest. The left side is flat for men, while the right side is bulging for women, and there is more than one pair.
Just by looking at its size, you can tell that it is at least level 6 or even level 7.
The strength of many monsters is closely related to their size. Smaller ones are not necessarily weaker, but larger ones are often stronger.
Moreover, Levi had seen a similar creature with this appearance before he first entered here and before he chose his race.
He immediately understood that even if the seal here was not lifted today, the demon of Slaanesh would still exist!
As if noticing Levi's gaze, this special demon licked his lips: "A spirit that possesses divinity and is blessed by Mount Heaven?"
"Oh, praise the Lord of Pleasure, I can't wait to taste your essence!"
