Volume 4 Chapter 474: Demon Hunter and Shadow King
This process was much simpler than Levi had expected.
At the same time, he was also certain that Lunala's hatred for Malus was much deeper than he had imagined.
He even felt that, apart from this incident, they must have had some conflicts and hatreds before.
But no matter what, the fact now is that Lunala swore allegiance to Levi, and after a very simple ceremony, she gained new power and became a demon hunter.
This also made Levi and others see her determination. She was really willing to give everything for revenge.
But probably in order to make it easier for mortals to accept her, after her job change, she did not have as many problems as Levi had worried about before.
She became a demon hunter, but when she was not in combat, there were not many traces of demons on her body, just some weird tattoos.
In Levi's opinion, the Demon Hunter is basically a half-DPS and half-meat shield profession, and a considerable part of the Demon Hunter's power comes from the tamed demons.
The Slaanesh God Keeper that Levi prepared for her was a powerful demon who once possessed divinity and fragments of priesthood, so the enhancements he gave her were naturally exaggerated.
Therefore, Lunala's attributes of strength, agility, and physique are all excellent, and as a warrior, she has no shortcomings.
Lunala is now at level 15/12, and has mastered a variety of professional talents and unique skills.
The first is the Demon Hunter, which is also the signature ability of her profession. When she fights against all evil beings from other worlds, her attack power, critical strike rate and critical strike multiplier will be improved.
If the opponent is a demon or devil, the damage is further increased.
After killing the enemy, depending on the strength of both parties, she has a certain chance of grabbing the opponent's soul fragments.
If the opponent is a demon or a devil, even if the opponent can be resurrected in the Abyss or the Nine Hells, he will definitely pay a higher price for it.
For them, the body can be reborn, but the loss of the soul is permanent.
All these things make the name of Demon Hunter well-deserved.
This also made Levi roughly understand why Illidan became much more low-key after recovering as a demigod.
The truth is that his power is too restraining to demons and the like. If he shows off too much, I'm afraid many demon lords will target him.
He himself may be fine, but his church and believers obviously cannot bear it.
And for Levi, if she could obtain the soul fragments, wouldn't it be a perfect match with him?
Maybe he would take her to the Twin Moon World later. If she could obtain soul fragments after killing those beast spirits, her role would be much greater than he had expected.
At the same time, he will definitely try to make more of his subordinates become demon hunters in the future.
Next is Demon's Fury. By applying demonic power, her attacks can cause additional damage to all enemies, even demons.
By applying the power of demons, she can also emit a special ray that directly burns off a portion of the enemy's magic value and causes corresponding damage. It is called mana burning and can be called the nemesis of mages.
At the same time, she will also possess a devilish vitality, and her upper limit of health, life recovery speed, defense, magic resistance and so on will be improved.
Then there is the ghost vision. Once it is activated, her vision and perception abilities will be greatly enhanced.
Not only is darkness no longer an obstacle, it can even penetrate ordinary obstacles such as walls or rocks to a certain extent, and naturally it can also see through stealth and invisibility effects more easily.
Well, if that's the case, then ordinary non-magical armor probably can't block her sight...
She can also use special eye rays, the effects of which are similar to the sacred rays that Levi has mastered, both of which can kill people with just a glare.
But her power may be slightly stronger, and she can further enhance its power through continuous channeling, or make it penetrate multiple enemies at once.
Next is another signature ability - Demon Transformation.
As the name suggests, she can transform into a powerful demon for a short period of time, grow demon wings on her back, gain the ability to fly, and be surrounded by demon sacrificial fire, which can cause continuous damage to all enemy forces.
As for the huge enhancements in attack, defense, and recovery capabilities, that was also a byproduct, and it can be said that both the appearance and capabilities can scare the enemy.
In addition, the greatsword of the Slaanesh Lord Keeper of Secrets was also transformed by Illidan into a pair of epic Moon Blades, and there is also a Moon Blade specialization in the Demon Hunter's professional talents.
Levi felt that the Moon Blade might be the unique weapon of the Demon Hunter.
Not to mention, the Moon Blade is not only extremely powerful, with its attack power being between that of a greatsword and a longsword among equipment of the same level, but it is also quite light.
But this is far from its true value. What is more powerful is that it also contains the power of the demon of lust.
All targets hit by her have a chance of being affected by the effect of Dream Sinking. If their physical fitness and magic resistance are not up to standard, their defense and dodge capabilities will be reduced.
After killing the demon, it can also absorb the essence of its life and energy. If it kills enough demons, it may be able to advance, which is quite amazing.
In terms of battle skills, Lunala mainly possesses offense, defense, archery, and naval warfare.
Long before she followed Malus, she was already an excellent captain of another fleet, until her previous captain was killed by Malus, and she became the first mate of his Black Ark.
When she said this, her expression was calm, but in fact she was gritting her teeth.
Levi, Wange and others looked at each other secretly, knowing that things were definitely not that simple. Maybe the captain who was chopped off had some relationship with her.
But no matter what, this does make her the hero who is currently best at naval warfare under Levi.
At the same time, she is also an instructor of the Cold Lizard Knights. She has been leading the Cold Lizard Cavalry under Malus in battle and is one of the strongest knights among them.
While leading them, their experience gain rate increases by 10%, and every 2 levels of her campaign level increases their attack and defense by an additional 1 point.
It's not particularly outstanding, but if it is combined with some other battle treasures, and the Cold Lizard Knights are handed over to her, they can play a certain role.
After thinking about it, Levi gave the other party 1 point of the life divinity he had just obtained.
Compared to other divinities Levi had obtained before, the divinity of life does not have any aggressiveness.
But its effect is very powerful, because it directly increases the maximum health by 100 points, and when receiving any kind of treatment, it will increase the treatment effect by 10%-20%.
If she were given some life-sucking equipment, combined with her own recovery ability and the priest's treatment, her survivability on the battlefield would undoubtedly become very strong.
It is precisely because of this divinity that the way Lunala looks at Levi has become very different.
Originally, she reluctantly agreed to be loyal to Levi in order to survive and to take revenge on Malus, but in fact, she had a lot of other thoughts in her mind.
After all, they were mortal enemies before, and he made her run away naked. Even if no one else saw it at the time, she herself knew it best.
But now it seems that he is a very generous lord. He casually gave her the divinity that even Malus failed to obtain.
Even though I knew he was trying to bribe me, he was willing to use his divinity to bribe him. Many people would never dream of such an outrageous thing, right?
So when Levi asked about the information about Fear Rock, Malus, and the dark elves, her attitude obviously changed drastically.
Seeing this situation, Levi felt very satisfied, and felt that his investment was not in vain.
After confirming some general details, Levi decided to let her continue to perform her original two duties.
Malus does have some knowledge in this regard, and she is really very suitable for doing this.
This immediately made Lunala even happier, because now that she thought about it, apart from the change of nominal lord, her identity and status not only did not decrease in the slightest, but instead improved slightly.
Her personal strength has been greatly enhanced, this is simply an opportunity given to her by the gods!
Therefore, she accepted Levi's only request, which was to ask her to change sides, without hesitation.
As a dark elf, in order to survive, she had to learn to do whatever it takes to gain power and wealth, just like the rest of her kind.
But she had longed more than once for a companion she could trust, like the high elves.
She had no choice before, but from now on, she also wants to be a good elf!
Seeing Lunala happily going on patrol, Levi also gave another bit of divinity to Martis.
Originally he wanted the other party to lead the Cold Lizard Knights, but now he changed his mind temporarily, so naturally he had to give the other party some compensation.
But Maltis refused with a smile. As a death elf, she possessed the divinity of two conflicting energies, death and life. She was really worried that some unexpected situations might occur.
Besides, she didn't really care that much about those Cold Lizard Knights.
This made Levi feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that he really needed to spend some money to get some blueprints from the Sun Knights and recruit some undead cavalry.
After thinking about it, he gave that bit of divinity to Elegy. Whether considering her ability or based on personal feelings, she was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.
After the reinforcements from the Yakong and Gaiding tribes arrived, those who were unconscious and waiting to be purified were settled, and the patrol and defense tasks were completed, good news came from the Black Ark.
Khalida's second batch of reinforcements has arrived. In addition to a large number of troops, there are also some temporarily hired sailors and so on. The purpose is to get the Black Ark moving.
Now both the Black Ark and the Fear Rock require a large number of troops, but Levi already has insufficient troops. It would be better to put the two together and concentrate the troops.
Michaela received support from the Dragon Prince, who originally planned to attack Fear Rock together with Levi.
But he never expected that the situation on the Rock of Terror would be so complicated. There was a fierce battle between Malus, Kruga and the Nurgle demons. In the end, it was Levi who, with the help of the Messenger of Mercy, won the victory.
But no matter what, this is a rare good thing for the high elves.
Therefore, even after occupying Longya Mountain and other places, the military force was still not sufficient, and Prince Dragon temporarily sent out 3,500 reinforcements.
Although their average strength is basically only level 3, it is still far from enough to fill Levi's troop gap.
But Prince Dragon said frankly that as long as Levi provided military pay and daily supplies, these troops would be at his disposal without any time limit. This favor was too great.
After a few days, when all kinds of dinosaurs are recruited and combined with these troops, the overall strength will be greatly improved.
And because of Levi's outstanding performance this time, they destroyed the dark elves entrenched here in one fell swoop. He will apply to the Phoenix King and the Everqueen to give Levi the opportunity to be promoted to Prince Caledor.
Once he becomes a prince, Levi can be considered a well-known figure based on the special status of the high elves in the entire elven community.
But reputation is secondary. The various privileges that come with it, such as exchanging God-given buildings, recruiting heroes, studying advanced magic in the Mage Tower, etc., are greater benefits.
All in all, the Dragon Prince was very generous to Levi, because Levi was born in the Kingdom of Caledo, and his strength was good for the entire kingdom.
Next is the Sea Dreamers led by the sea elves. Adhering to the principle that the kind elves are one family and the Sea Dreamers are a whole, they will also send some reinforcements.
But this is not without cost. In return, Levi needs to join them in dealing with the Sahuagin, the Queen of the Sea, the Snakemen and the Nibon Pirates after finishing the things at hand.
If you want to get something, you naturally have to pay for it.
Levi could fully understand and agreed very readily. After all, even if the other party did not put forward such conditions, these evil existences were a threat to him.
The Queen of the Sea is an evil god. She relies on intimidation and destruction to gain faith and believers. If her forces are not completely driven out from the vicinity, there will be no peace in the future.
After responding to everyone with gratitude and politeness, and sorting out his thoughts, Levi finally had a little free time.
So he took the Cain Dimension Sword and began to pray to Lilith.
Maintaining safety is one reason, and seeking reinforcements is another.
As always, Lilith responded immediately, this time appearing as a girl holding the Holy Grail.
Not surprisingly, she should have just used her vest to bestow the Holy Grail blessing on a Bretonnian knight.
Without Levi saying anything, Lilith smiled and said, "I've heard from Illidan, Levi. You did a good job this time. I'll take care of Uncle Kane's issue."
She is Cain's niece, and Malus is a dark elf who has not even obtained divinity. This is not even a problem for her.
She knew too well the position of the dark elves in Kane's heart.
If we have to say who is more important, it may be the Bloody Queen of Har Ganthe, one of the oldest witch queens, and the high priestess of the Church of Khaine - the witch Hellebron.
Because in addition to these identities, she also has a unique title - Kane's Bride.
Although this is what she called herself, Kane has never opposed or criticized her, which in itself says a lot.
The private lives of many elves are very chaotic, and a considerable part of them are learned from the elven gods. While Cain is a god, he is also a male.
She even always wondered who was the first to come up with the principle in the Kane sect that the less you wear, the more pious you are.
Even she did not explore many of the details in detail, not because she could not, but because there was no need to.
Because so far, everything Kane's Bride has done has been done in Kane's name, or with his acquiescence.
Then as long as we maintain a good relationship with Kane, all the actions of Kane's Church can theoretically be controlled.
Well, it has always been like this.
But now the power of the Four Chaos Gods is gradually beginning to revive. Among them, the Blood God - Khorne, and the Bloody Hand God - Khaine, have too many similarities.
Fortunately, she had made a lot of preparations for this...
Seeing that Lilith agreed so easily, Levi was slightly relieved, as a worry was finally solved.
Then he turned to ask for help. Even though those Barto knights were basically unusable, Vest had been raising them for so many years, so they must have some other strengths, right?
Lilith smiled and said, "I have discussed this with Moonbow and Illidan. Some night elves will come to help."
"Although they have been exploring the Underdark recently, they are not underground elves after all, and they also need forests and grasslands."
"At the same time, the patron goddess of the Winged Elves, Adri Fenriya, is also seeking changes and a wider space for her race."
"I convinced her, and she decided to send some winged elves here, but whether she can keep them in the end depends on what you do."
Levi immediately cheered up: "Thank you, goddess. I will definitely do my best."
Although the average strength of the Winged Elves is inferior to that of the High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, and even inferior to the Drow Elves and Sea Elves.
Moreover, their army types are very limited, mostly archers, plus a few agile swordsmen and magic units, and there are no meat shields at all.
In addition, they need to maintain high-speed flight, so they generally wear light armor or no armor, and are very vulnerable.
At the same time, their recruitment and maintenance costs are not cheap, and their daily supplies are also very special. They need a lot of fruit.
But so many shortcomings were completely outweighed by one advantage, that is, they were all air force.
Whether it is used for reconnaissance, vigilance, patrolling or guarding, its value will undoubtedly be very high.
As for whether he could keep them, Levi didn't think it would be a big problem.
The winged elves' camp is mostly chaotic good, which is a little difficult to control, but they have one characteristic, which is that they are very fond of celestial creatures.
Coincidentally, as a master of the mysteries of the celestial realm, Levi can not only summon the three major celestial clans and angels, but also the Gaidin clan and the Sub-Sky clan, both of which have a large number of garrisons on the Fear Rock, which can definitely attract them.
After that, it was nothing more than buying them off with his sincerity, gold coins and good treatment, which he was very familiar with.
Many races, as long as they do not have conflicts in terms of camps and beliefs, or are not as indifferent as the Lizardmen, can be bought off with money and other benefits. It is just a matter of how much.
As I said, if the money is not enough, just ask Khalida for it.
Lilith smiled and nodded. She had watched Levi grow up, so she naturally knew how reliable he was, otherwise she would not have chosen him.
Then she changed the subject: "But instead of relying on the power of others, I have another way, the blood elves."
Levi immediately understood what the other party meant: "The goddess wants me to gather them? But with only Sally under my command, my mobilization ability is really limited."
Since joining her, Sally has never stopped recruiting people of her tribe.
But up to now, she has only found about a hundred people, and most of them are her acquaintances or people introduced by acquaintances.
Apart from a few mages, only Nochon is the most outstanding one.
On the one hand, this is because the number of blood elves is not large, and on the other hand, it is also because Sally's original status and strength are not particularly outstanding.
Despite having fallen to their current state, many blood elves still hold on to a strange kind of pride, and are more willing to believe in blood elf families with a long history and heritage.
For example, its royal family - Sun Chaser, the Wind Chaser who are home to many ranger generals, the Morning Blade and Bright Wing who are outstanding warriors, and the Sunfury and Astrologers who are good at controlling magic.
As for the Theron where Sally came from, it was a medium-sized family under the Windseekers, and she was just a remote branch, so she was not taken seriously by other blood elves.
But in Levi's opinion, things have become like this, and instead of uniting all forces and concentrating on doing something big, they are obsessed with these things. This is simply a sign of mental illness.
There has never been a true god among the blood elves, and those so-called glorious families only represent the glory and history of the past.
At most, they have inherited some knowledge and wealth, but there is no power in their blood, so they are really not worth being pursued so much.
In comparison, Sally was originally just a mid-level mage, but after following him for so long, she has grown into a very powerful hero.
But the blood elves seemed to be unable to see it. It can only be said that their eyes and hearts have been blinded, and they deserved to be in such a miserable state.
"I know, but maybe this time is a little different."
"A few days ago, the Sunstrider royal family attempted to use magic to awaken the blood of its outstanding members and restore their former glory."
"They successfully activated the circle, but unfortunately they summoned some Tzeentch demons."
Levi grinned immediately: "So they were turned into fools, or were they simply deprived of all magical abilities?"
According to the information Levi currently has, the Tzeentch demons are good at controlling magic and engaging in conspiracies and intrigues, but they are also some fun people.
The two situations he mentioned are the most likely to happen.
Lilith obviously understood this very well: "It could have developed in this direction, but at that time there happened to be a paladin of the Three Holy Ones of Justice nearby, so the Tzeentch demons were successfully expelled in the end."
"But the blood elves also paid a heavy price. Neither the Tzeentch demons nor the paladins let them go."
The god of justice - Tyr (strong divine power), the god of suffering - Ilmater (medium divine power), and the god of righteousness - Torm (weak divine power) are the three saints of justice.
As the name suggests, they and their believers are often in the lawful good camp, and a considerable number of paladins in the main world come from their church.
They are always committed to eradicating all kinds of evil, including but not limited to otherworldly evil such as demons and devils, followers of many evil gods, undead, beastmen, ratmen and other evil races.
Similarly, greenskins and dark elves are also on their hunting list.
Other robbers, pirates, mountain bandits and the like, even if they are also human, as long as they detect the camp and determine that the other party is evil, they are basically dead.
In short, any evil existence will often be regarded by them as a threat to justice and kindness, and will be attacked.
Mortals may respect or fear them, but they are very favored and trusted by the gods of the good camp, as well as the archons, angels, and so on.
In name they are the Three Righteous Saints, but in reality there are more than thirty people directly or indirectly supporting their actions behind the scenes.
The more obvious ones are the powerful Lord of Dawn - Lathander, the weaker goddess of justice - Verena, and so on.
Similarly, many members of the elven pantheon, the Chinese pantheon, etc., have expressed goodwill towards them.
The blood elves may not have intended to summon the Tzeentch demons, but they clearly had dire consequences.
In addition, they had caused a major demon invasion in the past, so it was obvious that the holy warriors would not forgive them easily.
But the blood elves, who were already in a very miserable situation, suffered a blow of this magnitude. For Levi, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to recruit them.
"It seems you understand what I mean. Currently, the Sunstrider royal family is almost wiped out, with only a young prince, Kael'thas, left."
"He has some potential, but he was born too late. I'm afraid he won't have enough time to grow."
If Kael'thas could have been born a few hundred years earlier, with her training, he might not have been the next Teclis.
Unfortunately, the power of the Four Chaos Gods is gradually recovering. If he is not careful, he may die prematurely.
The Tzeentch demons have no mercy. As for Kael'thas who survived the ritual, they only want to fool him a few more times before killing him.
After all, he is not a god-chosen hero like Levi, and there is no possibility of multiple comebacks.
But then again, Levi doesn't seem to have ever died in battle.
"I see, Goddess, where are they currently gathering?"
"Zhuguan Town, I can help you arrange a transport ship, but you need to invite them first."
Upon hearing this, Levi knew that Lilith had actually made almost all the arrangements, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that they all ran to the colony?
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Lilith nodded gently: "Also, if you have time, let's go to Paradise Island."
"The Greek goddess Diana has made a preliminary decision to leave this world, but she is still worried about the Amazons."
Levi's eyes became brighter and brighter. Although the number of Amazons was not large, there were definitely tens of thousands of them.
Not only are all of them soldiers, they are also very good at taming many ferocious beasts, including dinosaurs.
If they could be brought under his command, the current problem of insufficient manpower in Fear Rock would be solved instantly.
But this seems to have a prerequisite. He needs to win Diana's recognition and trust first so that she can leave with peace of mind. This is extremely difficult.
But no matter what, he decided to go to Paradise Island as soon as possible, because he was always thinking about the accidental death of Elegy in battle.
Both he and she wanted to find out whether it was an accident.
Lilith nodded again: "I've been busy with some things recently, so I may not be able to spare much energy to help you. If there is an emergency, please contact Yuebow or Illidan."
"Also, the Mist Expedition led by Eltharion the Grim has officially landed in the Badlands. If you want the Nine Volumes of Nagash in the Eight Peaks, you need to prepare as soon as possible."
Levi couldn't help but frown, not because all the things happened at the same time and he was overwhelmed, but because of Lilith.
What kind of thing could it be that even she would say that?
But he immediately expressed his understanding and asked the last two questions.
One is about the missing Naga goddess, but unfortunately Lilith doesn’t know her exact whereabouts.
But now all the statues worshipped by the Naga tribe have collapsed, and the priests have completely lost their power. This all indicates one thing: she should be dead.
I just don't know whether it was the evil god, the demon lord, or the devil archduke who did it.
But it should not be the Four Chaos Gods, because they have not yet fully recovered. They just have a little power that can help the demons under their command gradually escape.
As for the second question…
Of course, it is about the Stonehenge on the Island of Albion and the Dark Messenger.
The seal there requires a sacrifice of a god, and it just so happened that the Naga goddess died at this time. How could it be such a coincidence?
Lilith's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized, "The Dark Messenger? No, it should be Be'lak, the co-chosen one of the Four Chaos Gods, who calls himself the King of Shadows!"
Levi also realized: "It turned out to be him!"
The four Chaos Gods are hostile to each other, and their respective chosen ones and special demons fight and slaughter each other all day long. The number of demons killed in the civil war is far greater than those killed by mortals.
But they also once chose some special beings out of some evil taste and gave them power.
Bilak was the first demon to receive the power of the four Chaos Gods at the same time, which gave it extremely powerful strength.
But demons are all lunatics from the chaotic evil camp. After gaining power, their ambition and self-confidence quickly swell. They try to turn around and kill the Four Gods of Chaos and replace them.
Then it was beaten hard and eventually turned into a shapeless shadow, no longer able to interfere with anything in the main world.
The Four Chaos Gods did not kill him completely, of course not because they could not, and certainly not out of pity or sympathy, they just wanted to humiliate him the better.
It was given a task, which was to crown the king for the future existence who also accepted the power of the Four Chaos Gods.
Of course it doesn't want to do it, but in order to survive, it has no choice but to accept it, and then it will be ridiculed by countless mortals or demons.
No one knows how many years have passed, but after the Four Chaos Gods were sealed by the ancient gods of various pantheons, it also disappeared.
Some gods originally thought that it was dead. After all, its power came from the Four Gods of Chaos, and no egg will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned.
But now it seems that not only is it not dead, but it is also planning to make some big moves.
I don’t know if the disappearance or death of the Naga goddess is related to it?
If it really did it, it means that it not only recovered its strength, but was also much more powerful than before. It had never killed any gods before.
If it obtains the corpse of the Naga goddess and creates a rift on Albion Island that connects to the Abyss, or somewhere else...
Lilith had obviously thought of the same question, and her expression became a little solemn.
Because the distance is too far, no matter what happens on Orbian Island, it will not have any impact on Levi in the short term.
But if Bilak really did something big on the Island of Albion, then the High Elves' Ulthuan Ring Island and the Knight Kingdom of Batol would be the first to bear the brunt, so she must be prepared.
Then Levi immediately thought of Malus. Malus had been to Albion Island, and Illidan said that Malus was rescued. So is there a possibility that it was Bilak who did it?
If this is the case, then Lunala's road to revenge may be many times more difficult than she had previously expected.
Similarly, for Levi, the existence of such an enemy would greatly increase the danger level.
However, he was not afraid, because Bilak was just a demon after all, but behind him stood real gods, and there was more than one!
