Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 447: The Secret Keeper of the Lord of Slaanesh
Hearing this, Levi didn't react, but Elegy, who was a few meters away, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
What's going on? She hasn't agreed to Levi's request yet, but now this androgynous guy takes the initiative to say yes?
Or a demon? This is outrageous!
Then she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Levi, but saw that he had no intention of talking nonsense with the other party. He just summoned three sphinxes in a row and threw out the Hammer of Axiom.
When dealing with ordinary soldiers, he usually doesn't let them appear, not to save repair costs or to keep a low profile.
It’s simply because, once activated, they can no longer be stored in the space ring like objects.
This is somewhat inconvenient for Levi.
But now the opponent is a giant demon with a head and height of 10 meters, so they are just right to deal with it.
As for the so-called essence, it may have other meanings for humans or elves, but for demons, it is nothing more than the soul!
Donna even directly ordered a volley of fire. The opponent was so big that he was a perfect target.
Khalida also launched an attack, and large amounts of yellow sand mixed with poisonous substances swept over like an overwhelming force.
Moreover, they are not scattered and disorderly, but are condensed into the shape of arrows, which can provide stronger armor-piercing ability.
At the same time, she also reminded him: "Levi, the other party is a Slaanesh Keeper, at least a rank 7 elite, but his actual strength is likely to be even stronger!"
Even if they are both at level 7, the actual difference may be huge. The reason why some beings are at level 7 is because of their true strength.
Some of them exist because the highest level of a troop can be upgraded to level 7!
The Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets in front of us is a similar existence.
If it can become a heroic existence, then even if it is not a legend, it will definitely not be much different. Its performance in actual combat may even be stronger than itself.
Khalida had sufficient understanding of this.
Although she is known as the Warrior Queen, what she is really good at is actually the command and amplification of archers, followed by her personal combat power.
She doesn't underestimate herself, but she also doesn't overestimate herself.
Even though he had expected it, Levi was still startled. Soon, the other party proved with actual performance that what Khalida said was not false.
Facing the rain of arrows falling from the sky, it raised its shield and waved it a few times seemingly casually, dispersing most of them.
It was able to dodge the rest with ease, demonstrating extraordinary agility and flexibility that was completely inconsistent with its body size.
Moreover, both the enemy and us could see very clearly that it was far from exerting its full strength, as if the arrows that were shooting at it were all in slow motion for it.
Seeing this scene, even Khalida was shocked. You have to know that there were hundreds of powerful archers shooting at the same time. Even she could not do it so easily.
As for the attacks from Levi and Khalida, it either protected itself with a shield or simply grabbed the multiple demons around it and threw them over to block them.
Although it was the first encounter, thanks to its rich past combat experience, it was able to find the best way to deal with it immediately.
For a moment, the small battlefield was silent, and Levi frowned. According to the opponent's current performance, a simple long-range attack would hardly be effective.
The Sphinx he had just activated was probably of no use.
As expected, the Sphinx, which usually looks extremely powerful, is like a stupid wild boar in front of the opponent and can't even get close to it.
Once the Keeper of Slaanesh launches an attack, he does so with equal grace.
Even though Levi was not a warrior, he could see that the opponent had extremely high skills in using sword and shield.
While perfectly protecting themselves, they were also able to continuously shave off large pieces of rock from the Sphinx, causing their bodies to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. For a time, even Harpros' emergency repairs could not keep up.
If it weren't for the fact that this place is in the center of the valley and the relatively narrow terrain limits its performance to a certain extent, Levi even suspects that if given enough time, it would be able to slaughter all the infantry present on its own.
But despite this, it probably wouldn't take much effort for it to kill the three-headed Sphinx, as it is an absolute crushing victory in terms of agility and speed.
Watching the actions of the Keeper of Slaanesh, Levi suddenly remembered a line of lyrics:
Spinning and jumping, I closed my eyes.
The opponent now seems to be not fighting, but dancing on the battlefield!
Judging from its current performance, it is definitely impossible for it to be just a level 7 elite. It is very likely to be a hero close to the legendary level.
Although both are hero units, a goblin hero and a dragon hero, even if they are of the same level, there will definitely be huge differences in their attributes, skills, talents, etc., which will directly lead to a huge difference in the actual combat effectiveness of the two sides.
The Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets in front of him seemed to be in a similar situation.
Judging from his performance on the battlefield alone, he would probably be ranked in the top five or even top three among all the non-god-level beings Levi has ever seen.
Second only to Teclis and the Dragon Prince, and stronger than Khalida.
This is not just a difference in their professions and positions, but also a gap in hard power. At least the ability currently demonstrated by Kalida is indeed inferior to that of the other party.
The only thing to be thankful for is that since the appearance of the Keeper of Slaanesh's Secrets, the passage has not only failed to release more Slaanesh demons, but has continued to shrink inward, as if it had completely exhausted all its magic power.
This made Levi and others who noticed this situation breathe a sigh of relief.
For the time being, it seems that this place may only seal these demons in front of us, rather than connecting to an entire different dimension where demons live. This is a blessing in disguise.
Otherwise, if one or two more Slaanesh Keepers of Secrets suddenly appear, Levi can only pray to Lilith.
After secretly looking at the Dragon-Headed Envoy for a few times, the other party nodded secretly, indicating to Levi that he was getting ready.
The opponent's performance was undoubtedly extremely powerful, but he was also level 20. It was just that his magic was not good at fighting against overly agile enemies, so he needed more preparation.
This was also what he had discussed with Levi before. If the opponent's strength was average, then they would just launch a fierce attack and try to kill the opponent in the shortest time possible.
But if the opponent is too strong, he will not move at all, but once he takes action, he will kill him with one blow!
At the same time, he also has a task, which is to guard against evil spirits.
After waking up, that guy couldn't figure out the whole situation for a while, but with his natural sharpness and cunningness, he realized who was the greater threat to him.
So at this time, Evilguy was dodging the attacks from Levi's side, gathering the remaining greenskins, and attacking those Slaanesh demons.
Considering that Edan could barely share some of the pressure for his side, and that Levi really didn't have the energy to deal with him for the time being, he reluctantly tolerated his existence.
Levi then asked Donna and the others to settle for the second best option, kill all the other enemies first, and then slowly deal with the other side.
But just leaving it alone was not a good idea, so Kalida and Elegy quickly both expressed their willingness to take the initiative to go and fight.
The reason why the other party is now entangled with the Sphinx may be due to some weird and evil taste, but it does not mean that it will only do so.
Once it changes its mind, its own infantry may face a massacre.
And they all have a common idea, which is to use the powerful enemy in front of them to prove their own strength!
Levi thought about it for a moment and agreed because he thought so too.
But, since when did Khalida gradually become on par with Elegy?
He certainly had no intention of belittling Elegy, after all, she was his woman.
But as a legend, this is a bit...
The Keeper of the Secrets of Slaanesh was keenly aware of their intentions, so it first temporarily repelled the Sphinx on the left with a shield strike, and then severely damaged the left forelimb of the other Sphinx with three consecutive sword strikes, making it unable to maintain balance for a short time.
Finally, with its extraordinary agility, it guided the last Sphinx to crash into its companion.
However, it managed to escape, but did not go towards Khalida, who posed the greatest threat to it at the scene. Instead, it looked straight at Levi.
"Haha, come closer, you mortal..."
"There is something imperceptible that attracted you to me and aroused my long-hidden feelings..."
"Come on, this is your real master speaking..."
Following its series of whispers, Levi, who was communicating further with the Dragon God's Messenger and seeking help from the Gaiding Celestial Clan, couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.
It was not until the Winged Snake Ai Ci and Cindy saw that the situation was not good and released several auxiliary magic spells on him in succession that he suddenly woke up.
Seeing the series of system prompts again, his face darkened: "Kalida, Elegy, be careful, the other party is not an ordinary keeper of secrets, it actually has divinity!"
"The Keeper of Slaanesh has unleashed special abilities on you: Devil's Voice and Dream of Destruction. Since the other party possesses the relevant divine blessing and his charm is much higher than yours, the success rate has been greatly increased."
"Since you possess divinity, the blessing of the Seventh Heaven Mountain, the blessing of holy power, and the anti-evil array, etc., the success rate is greatly reduced."
"Angel Barris used a magic to dispel magic on you, but due to the huge difference in strength, the magic failed."
"Winged Serpent Love Thorn - Olena has unleashed a high level of heroism on you, increasing your resistance."
"Cindy has released a barrier of faith on you, and your resistance has been improved."
"You have successfully exempted the opponent's special ability."
Seeing Levi recover, the dragon-headed messenger next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, because he almost couldn't help but take action.
Regardless of Levi's identity as a summoner or his identity as a celestial mystic, he was destined to not sit idly by and watch him be tempted by the devil. The current situation was perfect.
The Secret Keeper was not concerned about his conspiracy being discovered. He just laughed and said, "No, mortal, I am not an ordinary divine being. You should respectfully call me the Divine Secret Keeper!"
As the name suggests, the Lord it worships, Slaanesh, believes that even the gods must maintain a certain degree of respect for it!
Khalida and Elegy were both shocked, and then they realized that it was no wonder that the other party was so powerful. It was rampant, but it did have the power to match it.
But what followed was more anger.
Even if it possesses divinity, it still harasses Levi when it is fighting against its own side. This is really too much of a disrespect for itself!
So they mobilized all their strength and launched a fierce attack on the Keeper of Slaanesh's Secrets.
With the help of several sphinxes and the magic of Sally, Sefa and others, even a strong creature like it could not help but gradually fall into a disadvantage and its space for maneuvering was gradually compressed.
No matter how much Levi secretly complained about Khalida, she was still a real legendary after all.
She may not be able to compete with the opponent in terms of strength, after all, there is a difference in size, but she is even more agile.
Although Elegy is relatively inferior to the other two in terms of hard power, with the blessing of enhanced status, equipment, divinity, and the assistance of many priest units behind it, it is still enough to assist Khalida.
Seeing this scene, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He originally thought that the other party had overwhelming strength, so he was so confident.
But now it seems that the title of God is probably more of a boast. Maybe it has nothing to do with strength, but is just the other party's personality. It is naturally more wild!
For example, now, even though the situation is becoming increasingly critical, the Lord Slaanesh, the Keeper of the Secrets, is still wandering around the battlefield in a beautiful, even elegant posture.
Yes, it is this kind of word. It is obviously very ugly in appearance and does not conform to Levi's aesthetic standards at all.
But when he looked at it, these adjectives would unconsciously arise in his heart, a feeling that even those enchanting succubi would not give him.
And based on its appearance, the system just said that its charm value is much higher than his, which is outrageous.
Although the charm attribute does not completely represent the actual appearance, Levi still marveled at the other party's high charm. He was indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a demon protected by the God of Demons.
But the elegance of its posture cannot conceal its current predicament.
At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with its fighting style, so they were intimidated by it.
But as the battle continued, they became more and more adapted to each other's many abilities.
With three Sphinxes acting as vanguards and meat shields, Khalida and Elegy would take advantage of every opportunity. As long as they were careful not to be affected by the opponent's dream and decadence, they were actually relatively safe in most situations.
Similarly, magic units such as Sally and Sefa also gradually found the trick.
Although its movements are very agile, its 10-meter height means that it is impossible for it to truly avoid all long-range attacks.
Even though its physical defense and magic resistance were very high, the wounds soon accumulated and became more and more numerous.
Especially when Cindy keenly realized that it seemed to be repairing its own injuries by absorbing the blood and souls on the battlefield, it fell into further decline.
Because Cindy and the priests, there is more than one way to purify them, and in this fierce battle, it is powerless to stop.
Seeing this, Levi finally relaxed a little.
He had to admit that the other party did put him under great pressure at the beginning, but he and his subordinates had been through many battles and were not easily intimidated.
However, he still couldn't be careless until the battle was completely over.
Seeing that the number of enemy troops on the scene was becoming smaller and smaller in the multi-party melee, Levi became more serious in dispatching troops.
A legendary greenskin - Abomination, and a divinity whose strength is unknown but very likely a legendary Slaanesh God Keeper of the Secrets. If these two powerful enemies can be killed at once, the harvest this time will definitely be extraordinarily rich.
As for the voices of those God-chosen heroes, either cursing or begging for mercy, he ignored them all.
Things have developed to this point, how could he let them go?
It would be better to learn from the Secret Keeper of Slaanesh next to him and save some face for himself.
Although it was clearly at a disadvantage, its posture was still so elegant and gorgeous, and it even never stopped talking.
In addition to Levi, its main target, it also constantly spoke some seemingly affectionate words to Khalida, Elegy, the little female dragon, and even celestial creatures and ogres.
Regardless of gender or even race, it treats everyone equally, except for inanimate constructs and mummies. It can be said to be very fraternal.
Levi could also see that it was not pretending. It seemed to really believe that only by joining it and becoming a part of the Slaanesh Demon could they enjoy more fun.
However, because they had already been prepared, and with the assistance of many priests, no troops were actually tempted.
Soon Levi also discovered that, apart from the constructs and mummies, the ogres and greenskins present were also very little affected.
The color of their skin does change to a certain extent, and they may lose their resistance when affected by the dream and fall, but none of them are truly transformed into demons.
After much thought, Levi could only conclude that there might be a certain gap between the strongest desires of these two races and the desires that the Keeper of Slaanesh could provide.
The greenskins love to fight, while the ogres only know how to eat.
As for the Slaanesh Demons, as the name suggests, they can probably provide more physical pleasure, followed by spiritual pleasure.
In contrast, the remaining humans and beastmen present found it difficult to resist its seductive voice, and they began to change both in appearance and inwardly.
There were even a few God-chosen heroes who, either out of despair or out of pure curiosity and fun, embraced evil.
So in just a few seconds, their appearance changed.
However, perhaps it is because there is extra care or preference for the chosen heroes, or they themselves have more independent choices, in any case, they did not become those bald demons with pincers.
They just became much more charming, regardless of gender, and their appearance and figures seemed to have been optimized in some targeted ways, becoming more slender, elegant and charming.
Some guys even couldn't wait to do a few backflips after the transformation.
They are obviously magic units, but they can display such abilities, which means that they have not only changed in appearance, but have actually gained other abilities as well.
After seeing this scene, Levi seemed to vaguely understand why Lilith was so afraid of the Four Gods of Chaos.
For most mortals, power, wealth and authority are their lifelong pursuits.
But there are also quite a few people who would rather pursue longevity and beauty.
Otherwise, Sune, the goddess of love and beauty, would not have become a powerful divine power, and there would not have been so many beings willing to transform into vampires and other undead creatures.
But it is impossible for Shu Ni to grant youth and beauty to all her believers. In other words, perhaps only one person out of ten thousand can truly receive her blessing.
But once they become Slaanesh Demons, the latter two will automatically belong to them, and it is only natural for them to obtain the former.
In comparison, Sunny was completely defeated by Slaanesh.
Even Levi could imagine that once the demon god Slaanesh was completely unsealed, Sune would be the first to bear the brunt and be the most affected.
As long as one believes in Slaanesh, one can easily obtain youth and beauty. How many beings would be willing to serve Shu Ni as a dog and crave for the pitifully low chance of gaining her favor?
The same is true for vampires. Slaanesh demons do not have the vampires' weaknesses such as fear of sunlight.
As the enemies were transformed into Slaanesh Demons one after another, the situation on the battlefield became clearer. Now there were only three parties left: the Slaanesh Demons, Levi and Khalida, and the greenskins led by Evilgod.
Then Levi and the surviving God-chosen heroes on the opposite side all looked at Evil Gall at the same time.
Perhaps too much power was drained from it when it was used as a sacrifice, so the power displayed by Evil Gall now is far from being a true legend.
Now, he relies more on his three legendary equipment and the few greenskin troops he managed to gather.
In addition, everyone's troops have suffered losses to varying degrees. For Levi, apart from continuing to be vigilant against the Keeper of the Secrets of Slaanesh, he already has enough strength to deal with the evil.
As for those guys who have just transformed into Slaanesh demons, they first want to test their own strength.
Secondly, if they could kill the Ghouls, no matter whether the Lord Slaanesh and the Keeper of the Secrets could win in the end, they would be able to get extremely rich spoils first.
Although Evil Dagger is not very smart, he was able to become the leader of a tribe after countless fights, and escape from the hands of the legendary dwarf, the Dragon Slayer, many times. He is certainly not a complete fool.
So when he saw that the attitudes of both sides had changed and they were about to beat him up together, he simply took the lead and roared: "Want to kill me? That depends on whether you have the strength to do so!"
