Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 449: The Fearless One
The two powerful enemies were killed one after another, and the chosen heroes all ran away. The few remaining remnants were naturally no match for them and were quickly killed.
Then Levi was slightly surprised to find that although the mummies under Khalida suffered heavy casualties, his Death Guards were also slaughtered, and even the Sphinxes were all badly damaged, the system still gave him a resounding victory.
Perhaps in its view, if it could kill a legend like Evil Gall, losing a few hundred mid- and high-level soldiers would be completely acceptable?
"You have successfully foiled a major demonic plot. Your legend level is +3."
Well, how should I put it, this number is lower than Levi imagined.
Perhaps as his total legendary value continues to increase, the difficulty of obtaining it also increases?
"Elegy defeated the legendary hero Gor'ya Ghoul, and she was awarded the special title Ghoul Crusher."
Effect 1, armor penetration +15;
Effect 2: When fighting against greenskins, you will have a passive skill - Spread Fear. Greenskins not higher than level 5 will be afraid of your reputation and will have a medium probability of triggering the fear .
(Ha, I've never seen anyone brag more shamelessly than you, that's it? You idiot.
Ah, wait, that head on the ground looks like mine...)
With the experience from last time, Levi felt that if there was a being who could defeat multiple legends, perhaps he would be able to possess extremely powerful combat power without any equipment.
Because the bonuses from these special titles can be continuously accumulated!
Next came E'dan's three pieces of legendary equipment. In this battle, apart from his thick skin and strong body, he did not show any legendary strength at all, but he did not make any concessions in the spoils of war.
Unfortunately, after watching it, Levi was not very satisfied.
The Roaring Helmet has a roaring greenskin face painted on each side. It can enhance the defense and morale of friendly forces in a small range, and comes with an active skill - taunt.
Once used, the hatred of enemies of level 0-5 will be greatly increased in a short period of time. The higher the enemy's intelligence, the lower the effect.
This is a special helmet that has dual capabilities as both a campaign treasure and combat equipment. Unfortunately, while it is comprehensive, it is also a bit mediocre.
Evil Sun Armor, a thick magical scale armor with a ridiculous evil sun pattern painted on the abdomen that looks like a greenskin head.
While increasing magic resistance, it can also rebound 30-50 points of damage to the enemy after each attack.
It seems good, but the reflected damage is regarded as magic attack, and the opponent's magic resistance must also be considered.
This resulted in the fact that this effect was not fully utilized during the previous battles with Elegy and others, and it was better at fighting against groups of miscellaneous soldiers.
But despite this, they are legendary equipment after all, and the basic defense they provide is very strong. Levi thought about it and gave it to Alduin.
As a bronze dragonborn paladin, although he is quite powerful, he cannot compare with Elegy in terms of killing efficiency.
In most cases, he serves as a support for Elegy, or simply as a meat shield, and this equipment is just right for him.
The third piece of equipment, however, is also very outstanding among the legendary ones.
The Red Fang Serrated Sword is an extremely heavy two-handed sword weighing hundreds of pounds. It was with it that E'dan gained fame and even established the Red Fang Tribe.
In addition to its extremely high attack power, it also comes with armor-breaking and bleeding effects, as well as an active skill - to kill you faster.
Although the name of the skill seems a bit funny to Levi, the effect is very good. It can increase the attack power and attack speed in a short period of time and enhance the bleeding effect.
Needless to say, of course it should be handed over to Elegy.
In addition, Evilheart also provides a complete Hero's Spirit and a warrior-type legendary specialty - Armored Skin.
Once used, it can directly increase defense by 5 points, and for every 2 levels thereafter, it can increase defense by an additional 1 point.
Level 21 is legendary, which is basically equivalent to this expertise and can increase defense by at least 15 points.
Levi had heard a long time ago that after becoming a legend, it would be possible to gain stronger expertise, which is one of the reasons why there is a huge gap in combat power between legends and non-legends. However, this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, and it was indeed very powerful.
Without any hesitation or reluctance, Levi handed it directly to Khalida. Without her restraint this time, even if Duke Lucan was powerful, it would not be so easy to kill the opponent.
Because Soslan had communicated with him in detail in advance, among the many alternative targets, Duke Lucan was the best at lurking and sneak attacks.
He seemed to have a very clear goal as soon as he appeared, and immediately achieved significant results.
But in fact, he had already cooperated with Soslan through some special power, and had been observing the enemy from Soslan's perspective for some time.
He was looking for the opponent's weakness and at the same time accumulating some special abilities, so he was able to team up with Kalida and others to kill the opponent in such a short time after appearing.
If he hadn't made these preparations and had fought head-on, he might not have been able to defeat the opponent on his own.
So no matter what, Khalida had indeed put in a lot of effort, and he couldn't let her go back empty-handed.
Khalida wanted to refuse at first because she was the queen of Lahmia and she always gave rewards to others.
But Levi was sincere this time. After just a few words, Khalida had to accept it, because this was not just an ordinary division of the spoils, but also represented Levi's intentions.
Then Levi promoted Alyssa, who had made a breakthrough in this battle, to a hero.
Alyssa herself was very happy about this, but no one else was surprised at all.
Long before she gained divinity and activated the heavenly blood in her body, she had actually shown considerable potential in command and logistics.
Becoming a hero is just a matter of time and an opportunity, and now is the opportunity.
After the promotion, Alyssa's level is 6/5, and she gets 1 point of leadership and 1 point of knowledge for free. Her campaign skills are leadership, military command, and mysticism.
At first glance it looks pretty standard, but Levi is very satisfied with it. Many skills seem fancy, but in fact they may not be very useful. These most basic skills often have the greatest room for development.
Many other subordinates also upgraded and advanced, but compared with the gains of Elegy and Alyssa, they were insignificant, and Levi didn't pay much attention to them.
He just communicated with Luna while asking his subordinates to change their formation and prepare to defend the valley.
No matter where the coalition of greenskins and ratmen come from, as long as they come, let them stay here forever!
However, there are more important things waiting for him right now.
At first, it was only the token that was beating constantly, but soon, the greatsword left behind by the Lord of Slaanesh, the Keeper of the Secrets, began to respond, with faint wails and sighs.
As for the gem, it is simply a series of question marks, and obviously there are some big problems with it.
Seeing that as time went by, these phenomena not only did not subside, but instead tended to intensify, Levi could only use the only chance that came with the token to summon Illidan to come and see for himself what was going on.
He didn't have to wait too long. In just a few seconds, Illidan, holding the Moon Blade and still looking rather aloof, had stepped out of the portal.
Before he had the chance to greet Levi, his eyes were already directly on the token, and then he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"You actually obtained such a high-quality demon soul?"
"There is also a weapon that seals the devil, and..."
Illidan frowned visibly, and first stretched out his hand to release divine power, easily stopping the demon's commotion. Then he turned to Levi and said:
"You were right to summon me here, but to be on the safe side, I also need to summon Lilith."
He gave this token to Levi to express his gratitude.
Since Levi was not very strong at the time and he did not have much money on hand, the quality of the token was actually quite low, because he did not think that Levi could seal any powerful demon at all.
But he underestimated Levi's growth rate, and he didn't expect that if he didn't take action, it would be fine, but once he took action, he would directly capture a special legendary demon.
This led to the problem at hand, his token was not enough to restrain this powerful demon.
And he had to admit that maybe Levi was really lucky. That weapon was also the most suitable weapon for a demon hunter.
If Levi can find the right candidate, perhaps an unprecedentedly powerful demon hunter will be born under his command.
As soon as Levi heard it, he knew that the matter was indeed serious, but this was exactly what he wanted, because he had originally planned to find out more information about Slaanesh and the Four Chaos Gods from Lilith.
So he signaled to Illidan to do whatever he wanted and he would just be a bystander.
He even handed over the greatsword and the gem to the other party as well, as he felt there must be a secret connection between them.
Illidan did not refuse. Since he had decided to take action, he might as well do it together.
So a few seconds later, Lilith also descended. Although she was the most diligent among the gods, descending so frequently and only looking for one person each time was probably unprecedented.
After a quick glance around, Lilith immediately understood what had happened. Even though she was usually calm, she couldn't help but frown at this moment.
But she knew what was more important at the moment, so after nodding slightly to Levi and Khalida, she teamed up with Illidan and began to act.
But the target is not the token that seals the devil, nor the big sword, but the seemingly most inconspicuous gem.
After a few breaths, with a scream full of ambiguity and resentment, which could not be distinguished between male and female, the gem exploded out of thin air, revealing an extremely dazzling crystal inside.
Even Levi, who was well prepared, couldn't help but hold his breath, because he had seen something similar to this thing before. It was a fragment of a priesthood!
Lilith looked puzzled and said, "It's the priesthood fragment - Joy, and 2 points of divinity. As expected, the Four Chaos Gods have revived again."
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that Levi happened to encounter this incident. Otherwise, if he allowed it and the Slaanesh demon to flow into the main world together, she really didn't know how much chaos it would cause.
But Levi quickly told her that she was thinking too much. He had seen the other person's appearance when he chose the race.
Although there is no relevant information on the forum and it seems that no one has chosen it at all, it is certain that the novice village of Slaanesh Demons must exist in reality.
And the system just reminded him that he had only temporarily thwarted the devil's conspiracy.
Lilith couldn't help but frown again, and then she sighed: "Levi, I also have something to tell you. The previous civil strife in the Greek pantheon was not as simple as I thought at first."
Lilith told a secret.
It turns out that Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, has great strength and prestige. Although the Queen of Heaven, Hera, is very dissatisfied with his philandering, she can only swallow her anger.
However, many of Zeus' actions brought about the evil from nowhere.
No one or any god knew the exact details of the process, but the result was that Zeus' body and temperament underwent extremely serious changes, almost like a demon.
And he was also planning to impose this mutation on other gods, which led to the great fight.
The Greek gods fought not for harmony between the Queen of Heaven and Hera, but to preserve their own lives and honor.
Even if they die, they will die as gods, not demons.
But even though they worked together and barely awakened some of Zeus' consciousness, the mutation was too severe and it was completely irreversible. In the end, they could only choose to die together with each other and then collectively withdraw from this world.
The reason why Lilith misunderstood before was because Diana, one of the only two survivors, wanted to save some face for the Greek pantheon.
But in recent days, as Lilith and the other party became closer rapidly, Diana, who was not good at lying, finally chose to reveal the truth.
It's not just because the Greek gods have collectively evacuated and will never, and cannot, come here again.
Moreover, Diana and another survivor, Kratos, are also considering whether to stay or leave.
Even Zeus couldn't resist the evil, so it would be even more difficult for them to face it.
Zeus is the king of gods and extremely powerful, so losing an incarnation is not a big deal, but for them, it still hurts a bit.
So the two of them discussed whether they could leave first while it was relatively safe.
But if they leave at this point, the Amazons and Spartans will be left without God to look after them, and the situation they will face next will probably not be very good.
Whether or not there is a god acting as a backer is still very important for intelligent races, so she is also seeking Lilith's help.
After hearing all this, Levi was also upset.
It is normal for angels to fall. Even the most powerful angel Xi can fall, and there are more than one.
But the life essence of gods is far stronger than that of angels. Even if they do evil, they are just evil gods. It seems that there is no such thing as their fall. At least for mortals, this has never been heard of.
As the leader of the original Greek pantheon, Zeus is far more powerful than ordinary demon lords. How could he be corrupted and mutated?
But Lilith mentioned him at this time, could it be that he was also the devil god - Slaanesh? This is understandable.
Seeing Levi thoughtful, Lilith also sighed: "Yes, Zeus's fall is closely related to his past behavior."
"As a god, he indulges in physical pleasures too much and has no control over them."
"He felt the power of evil at first, but the other party was able to make his senses more acute and stimulating in all aspects."
"So instead of taking precautions, he took the initiative to hug the other person."
"And this is the power of Slaanesh."
"By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late."
"At the time, Kratos was incarnated as a mortal to guide the Spartans on an isolated island in military training."
"Diana was wrestling with a Tyrannosaurus in the rain forest of Lustria , so they didn't catch up. By the time they realized it, the war was over and they were the only two survivors.
"These are the information they summarized and inferred from the text left by Queen Hera and the detailed communication with me afterwards."
After a slight pause, Lilith continued, "The Four Chaos Gods are demon gods and evil gods born from emotions."
"Even if the gods will die one day, they are said to be immortal. Even if they are killed once, just a thought or a name can make them come back to life and even attract their attention."
"So, Levi, Khalida, this is why I didn't let you get in touch with this information before. It's still too early for you to become gods."
Levi and Khalida both nodded. Even if Zeus seemed to be asking for it, he was a god after all. He couldn't resist, let alone the two of them.
And that's just Slaanesh.
From what they currently understood, Khorne was associated with blood and killing;
Tzeentch is associated with stratagems and sorcery;
Nurgle is associated with life and plague.
With the four of them combined, almost all beings participating in the battle will be more or less involved in their territory, which is extremely disgusting.
Moreover, today's battle and the reaction of the Heavenly Wolf, Duke Lucan, after he killed the demon, can also explain some problems from the side. This kind of enemy is indeed very difficult to deal with.
But the current situation of the Greek pantheon is a rare good thing for Lilith.
Because if Diana and Kratos decide to withdraw, then their people and believers will most likely belong to Lilith.
Although neither of these two races is a large and prosperous tribe, Levi feels that together they should have hundreds of thousands of people and are fully capable of supporting multiple weaker divine powers.
Moreover, they are all born good at fighting, and their potential and value are much higher than ordinary mortals.
As for the riots caused by the change of gods, it would not be a problem for Lilith who already had two aliases. At most, she could use the aliases to disguise herself and make the transition.
If Diana and the others choose to stay, once the news of Zeus's death spreads, it will be impossible for them to hold on to their current territory. They will need more help.
The best choice at the moment is undoubtedly still Lilith.
Therefore, no matter what choice the other party makes, Lilith will definitely make money, the only difference is how much she makes.
After letting them digest this series of information for a while, Lilith smiled and said, "Levi, I will accept this priesthood fragment - Joy, and 2 points of divinity. What do you want in return?"
She didn't waste any words this time and asked him if he wanted to be deified or something like that.
Because both parties had reached a consensus long ago that Levi would not use it himself in the short term, at least before collecting the nine volumes of Nagash.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Levi still quickly stated his request:
He didn't want to touch the divinity of Slaanesh at all. It would be best if he could replace it with other divinities. Secondly, spells, military positions and arms were also acceptable.
There is nothing wrong with the first few, and as for the last type of troops, it is not that his current subordinates are bad. In fact, they have been through many battles and their strength is quite outstanding.
But as the battle escalated, his infantry became less and less effective, especially compared with the numerous Death Guards and Dragon Golems, it became increasingly embarrassing.
Constructs only require gold and materials, and can be manufactured almost infinitely, but Silver Guards and the like, which take a lot of time and effort to train, are difficult to defeat in a one-on-one fight.
At the same time, as the war continued to escalate, Donna also needed more Sky Slashers and Avalons, especially the latter. They were almost invincible among archers of the same level and were really loved by Donna.
Naturally, the more flying guards that go with it, the better.
He also wanted giant flying beasts, but dragons, phoenixes and the like were too few in number and were currently not open to the public, at least not for commanders-in-chief.
But if Lilith were to arrange it, then nothing would be a problem.
In fact, this was indeed a very small matter for Lilith, so she agreed very casually, and after giving a few more instructions, she left first.
She looked down upon this kind of priesthood fragment and divinity, and neither Moonbow nor Illidan needed it, so she had to think carefully about how to maximize its benefits.
The gods associated with it tend to be kind and neutral, including the goddess of joy in the human pantheon - Lirla, the goddess of pleasure in the Egyptian pantheon - Bastet, and so on.
Isabara, the fox goddess among the beastmen, and other evil gods may also be interested in this.
After all, for mortals, in addition to wealth and power, the pursuit of pleasure is also their instinct, and evil gods also like to use these to seduce each other.
But with the example of Zeus in mind, she needed to consider carefully how to proceed.
If there is someone like Zeus who is tempted by the devil again, there may not be a wise god like the Queen of Heaven Hera who can make a courageous decision at the critical moment next time.
Moreover, she also realized that Illidan still had something to say to Levi alone, so there was no need for her to stay here.
As soon as Lilith left, although Illidan did not show any change on the surface, Levi vaguely felt that he seemed to be slightly relieved.
This made him feel moved. Illidan felt ashamed because of the token.
Or maybe, the seemingly kind Lilith actually has another side that is unknown to the public.
Even a tough guy like Illidan felt the pressure?
Illidan didn't say anything, but silently handed the token and the greatsword to Levi. He was not idle when Lilith was communicating with Levi just now.
Levi didn't even look at it and just put it away. Even if he wanted to check it, it wouldn't be now. That would be too rude.
He just expressed his gratitude to the other party enthusiastically but respectfully.
Illidan nodded silently: "Levi, I have bound it, and the greatsword has also been purified by me."
“It may become the most suitable weapon for demon hunters, but you still need a spirit that is truly worthy of it.”
Then he changed the subject: "Besides, maybe you deserve more."
As he said this, he handed over several tokens.
"If you can get more, maybe I can find someone suitable for you."
Levi suddenly understood, but on the surface he just became more grateful: "Thank you, God. I will try my best."
When he said he would help him find someone, he was actually saying, if there are any extras, could you give him a few?
Even though he is a god, he has just been revived and his divine power is at its lowest point. He probably does not have the ability to create an incarnation yet.
His church had just been established, and he probably didn't have much energy, let alone the risk of going to the Abyss to hunt demons, so he might not have any chance of getting this thing.
But this is a win-win situation for both parties. Illidan himself is a demon hunter. Even if he can recruit powerful elf heroes, it is almost impossible for them to be more suitable than the ones he chooses.
After saying this, Illidan seemed a little embarrassed. After giving a few more instructions, he left in a hurry.
Levi couldn't help but laugh secretly. As a god, he was too thin-skinned.
As the two gods left one after another, Kalida smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance, Levi."
In addition to the spoils of killing two powerful enemies, the fragment of priesthood is a rare treasure. With Lilith's generosity, she will definitely not treat Levi unfairly.
Levi also laughed: "Without your help, I can't do this."
As he smiled, he finally had time to look at the greatsword that had been purified by Illidan himself.
Psychedelic Blade (???): This unholy blade holds within it all the essence of a high-ranking daemon that was once defeated by the Keeper of Secrets, the god of Slaanesh, and became part of its power.
Later, it was transformed by the elven god Illidan and became a powerful weapon most suitable for demon hunters. However, only true demon hunters can glimpse and exert its full power.
The instructions for the token are similar, but a little shorter.
It seems that we need to capture a few high-level demons as soon as possible, and then exchange them for Illidan's help in finding a real demon hunter.
At this moment, Sefa came over with a frown on his face: "Levi, I don't know why, but I suddenly realized a new magic."
Although gaining power was a happy thing, the knowledge she had never learned before suddenly appeared in her mind as if it had always belonged to her, which was a problem.
Especially since she had just witnessed the devil's weirdness, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Levi took a look and found that it was indeed fire magic, and it was a level 5 Flame Skull.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to speak frankly: "Sefa, have you heard of Master Yufeng?"
"Of course I've heard of it. It's what many fire mages pursue, but it's too illusory. Wait..."
Sefa's eyes widened instantly. She was not stupid and immediately understood what Levi meant.
"You're not thinking that I might be the reincarnation of Master Yufeng?"
Levi nodded gently: "Think about it, there have been many signs a long time ago, right?"
She had never dared to think about it before, but now that it was revealed, Sefa immediately realized that if she was the Jade Phoenix Mage, then many seemingly unreasonable things would immediately become logical.
This made her happy and a little sad at the same time.
Because Master Yufeng is too mysterious, apart from the fact that he can be resurrected and is good at fire magic, there is almost no more useful information.
So she couldn't help but worry. If she was the reincarnation of Master Yufeng, would she have another consciousness to replace herself, just like those gods who took over the body and were reborn?
Levi had certainly paid attention to this issue, and he even had a misunderstanding at one point, but after communicating carefully with Lilith, he finally understood it completely.
"The reincarnation of Master Yufeng may be different from our conventional understanding."
"Even if you were once a Jade Phoenix Mage, after reincarnation, you will have a brand new soul and body, and no one will replace you."
"In the process of continuous learning and fighting, you will gradually regain your lost power until you become a true Jade Phoenix Mage."
"Of course, if other Jade Phoenix mages discover your existence during this process, they can also use special rituals to awaken your past memories, allowing you to receive a large amount of knowledge inheritance at once."
"The emergence of this knowledge may indeed have a slight impact and influence on your thinking, but what is certain is that you are still you."
Even though the Jade Phoenix Mage is extremely mysterious, as mortal beings, once they die, in the gap between their reincarnations, they will inevitably fall under the jurisdiction of the god of death.
So if there really is a god who wants to find out the truth, there are actually some ways.
After Levi said this, Sefa was obviously much more relaxed: "Does it just affect thinking?"
"That's right. If your soul and strength are strong enough, you won't even be affected."
Power is always relative. If a legend or a demigod were to receive the memory of a Jade Phoenix Mage, it would be almost impossible for him to be affected.
Alternatively, he could also give Sefa some divinity or something, which would also be of great help to her.
If it really doesn't work, he can ask Lilith for help. Lilith is also very interested in the power of Jade Phoenix Mage.
After Levi's explanation, Sefa was finally relieved, but then she felt a little embarrassed.
If Levi did so much for her, what could she give him in return? She couldn't just pledge her love to him like Elegy or Donna did, could she?
But although she had some feelings for Levi, it was far from this level. She was more of a admirer of the strong.
Just as she was worried and anxious, Sonia and others, who had been watching for a long time, took the initiative to come forward to comfort her.
At least they all know that no matter what danger she faces, she has friends and partners behind her to face it with her.
Levi also listened attentively for a few seconds, then he smiled slightly: "Okay, Sefa, don't think too much about it for now. Your first goal right now is to become stronger."
"It just so happens that another greenskin is here to die. You can try out your new magic!"
