Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 195: The Combined Holy Light Yakong
It was unknown how long it had passed, the battle was still going on, but the size of the beastmen had changed drastically compared to the beginning.
At the beginning of the war, they had more than 2,500 Beastmen, but now they have less than a fraction of that.
This was partly due to the outstanding performance of long-range shooters such as Donna, as well as the strategy of cavalry units such as Risadiran constantly attracting the attention of some enemies and then dividing and eliminating them, and also benefited from the outstanding performance of many summons and several big cats.
But if we talk about the real center of the entire battlefield, it is undoubtedly Levi.
He had never used magic to bombard as freely as he did today, and this time, he truly understood the powerful destructive power that a high-level wizard could exert.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the average strength of the opponents is too weak.
As for the heroic beast king, either his battle level was very low and he hardly added any battle attributes, or he was a pure combat hero. In short, the combat effectiveness of those beastmen was no different from that of wild monsters without heroes leading them.
With enough strength and a little bit of luck, Donna successfully completed her test of courage. She first killed a few level 4 and 5 enemies alone, and the remaining soldiers were much easier to deal with.
However, they all knew that such a smooth battle would probably not continue, because after paying a very heavy price, the beastmen finally succeeded in breaking through multiple gaps on the outskirts of the temple, and a large number of troops began to pour in.
Out of desperation, Zhou Miyin and others could only retreat continuously to avoid being besieged from all sides.
But perhaps because of the influence of the abyss rift or the demonic power of the beastmen, the refresh rate of their corpses is extremely slow.
After fighting for such a long time, the corpses around the temple had piled up into small hills. This not only left them with no place to stand, but also squeezed their limited space for maneuvering.
So much so that at this point, they had almost no way to retreat unless they retreated along the long stairs to the second floor.
Similarly, the summoned troops sent by Levi in the distance have disappeared without a trace. Many summoned creatures have either been destroyed by demons or forced to return to their original world due to time constraints.
Although the big cats were extremely brave, they could not stand alone. Finally, under Levi's command, they all obeyed their master's orders and lurked in the darkness to prepare for the next attack.
Similarly, the archers were also extremely tired. During the past period of time, they had shot tens of thousands of arrows in total, and even the ammunition carts had been emptied. Now they had to rely entirely on the reserves in the space rings.
Looking at the beast king who was still standing still in the distance again, Levi couldn't help but feel a headache: "Damn it, isn't it said that beastmen are extremely reckless and warlike? Why is this guy always hiding in the back and completely refusing to participate in the battle personally?"
Everyone around was speechless for a moment. In fact, they all understood Levi's meaning completely, because if they could successfully kill the Beast King, the remaining beastmen would probably not insist on attacking anymore.
Although the Beastmen are ferocious and bloodthirsty and hate almost all races, another important characteristic of them is that they bully the weak and fear the strong . If they have a choice, they will never continue to launch attacks.
The reason why they haven't given up even though the casualty rate has exceeded 80% is, on the one hand, because the other side may have seen hope of victory, but on the other hand it is entirely because of the Beast King's support from behind. Once they run away, they will probably be torn to pieces by the Beast King himself in the first place.
But the Beast King remained motionless. Even though there were only four or five hundred beastmen left besieging the temple, it was staying far away on the edge of the battlefield with dozens of its most elite big-horned beasts.
Even though Julia and the others had tried to attract its attention several times before, although it looked extremely angry, it did not rashly choose to chase them. It did not give them any chance to attack.
Hearing Levi's words, Donna next to him felt a little embarrassed, because she felt that the reason why the beast king seemed so cowardly was probably because it was frightened by the few arrows she had shot before.
But who could have thought that with a series of arrows, she could actually take away hundreds of the opponent's health points?
It is clearly a heroic-level Beastmaster, but its defense is even lower than that of an ordinary Tauren. Does it have no other equipment except the big knife in its hand and the skull necklace on its chest?
At this time, Lilith's priest said anxiously: "Lord Levi, the melee troops below can't hold on any longer. Our magic potions and scrolls are almost used up!"
At the beginning, she always called Levi by his name and only wanted to call him "you", but after experiencing the previous battle, she immediately readjusted her attitude, and there was a lot more respect from the heart in her words and expressions.
Everyone took this change for granted, and no one looked down on her because of it, because the strong are destined to enjoy this kind of respect.
Levi frowned again. He felt that he had frowned more today than in the past week.
After first waving his hand to let Bayoru and Guang Yakong go to help, he then asked: "How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
As for the enemies on the plain outside, he could often kill dozens of them with one micro meteor, but he really had no way to deal with the enemies inside the temple, because if his magic was too powerful, it was entirely possible that the entire temple would be destroyed.
"It's not clear yet. Lord Tyrandor Destroyer only said that he will arrive as soon as possible!"
Although the other party only said this one sentence, she never doubted the truth of it. Just as the beastmen especially hated the wood elves, the wood elves would do everything they could to kill any beastmen they encountered.
There are many different opinions about the original source of this hatred, but it is generally believed that in addition to the Wood Elves' hatred of this chaotic evil race, it is also because the Beastmen seem to want to destroy the largest gathering place of the Wood Elves - Athel Loren Forest. It is said that they believe that there is a power there that can directly connect to the Abyss and summon an army of demons.
In order to completely eliminate the unrealistic idea of Beastmen, the Wood Elves would often use the most brutal means to kill any Beastmen they saw, heard or even knew.
And this lord with the title of Star of Destruction is the most determined executor among them. You have to know that he was originally a lord of the wood elves. In order to hunt down the beastmen everywhere, he even temporarily abandoned his territory. Of course he would come.
"Still unclear? Well, then prepare to activate the temple's protective power to temporarily isolate the beastmen from the outside world."
"Then everyone should kill all the enemies that have already invaded as quickly as possible and reoccupy the important gaps!"
The priest immediately agreed, but there was still some embarrassment on her face, because in her opinion, the troops below might not be able to kill all the enemies inside before the protective force completely disappeared, and they still needed the power from Lord Levi.
But Levi certainly would not forget this, so he nodded affirmatively to the other party, and then cast a spell quickly, summoning an increasingly large number of allies from other worlds.
Then he and Xiao Qi cast a spell at the same time, summoning the Holy Light Yakong together.
The witch Diva next to her looked at all this with envy, but then she turned to yearning, because she had already felt in her heart that as long as today's battle was over, she would be able to completely change her camp to absolute neutrality, and at that time, she might be able to truly begin to summon Guang Yakong!
A few seconds later, 9 Holy Light Sub-Sky appeared in front of everyone, 7 belonged to Levi and 2 were from Xiao Qi.
There was no need to say more. The moment they all appeared, the nine Holy Light Sub-Skys had gathered together. Then the light from their bodies became brighter and brighter. Under Levi's command, they immediately began to use their combined skills.
After nearly twenty seconds, a new creature about three meters tall and roughly human-shaped finally appeared in front of everyone.
But everyone could still recognize it, because apart from still radiating light and heat, its head and fists were basically exactly the same as the original Holy Light Sub-Sky, both were spheres, but they were several times smaller.
Levi took a quick look and found that the opponent's name had now become Holy Light Sub-Sky (in combined state), and its class had been upgraded to Level 4. In addition to a significant improvement in various attributes, it still had the two skills of low-altitude flight and eternal flame.
But what has really changed is its attack method. Now it can emit three strong light rays through its fists and head in sequence. This attack can also penetrate most magic shields or damage reductions, and the cooldown time is also very short. As long as there is enough magic, it can almost continuously attack the enemy.
It also has a new skill that summons a holy light storm that can last up to 3 seconds, causing up to 80 damage to all units in a circular area with a diameter of nine meters.
With its current total amount of magic, it has enough to do it twice with some left over, which is extremely terrifying.
If it could do two such attacks in an area where enemies are densely packed and inflict enough damage, its team contribution might instantly enter the top 20 or even the top 10.
However, it is a typical glass cannon. Although its output is very impressive, it will be easily shattered by just a few touches from the enemy, and this state only lasts for a very short time. But after all, it is essentially a combination of level 2 arms, so we can't expect too much.
Seeing this, Levi quickly gave it auxiliary skills including Mage Armor, Arrow Protection, False Life and Secondary Fox Cunning, which greatly improved the opponent's survivability. Then he let the opponent fly downstairs and nodded to Lilith's priest: "Let's start!"
The priest was immediately delighted. She knelt on her knees and prayed silently towards the statue of the goddess.
Less than half a second later, a bright white light flashed, and the entire temple was instantly covered with a translucent energy wall.
At the same time, all the beastmen inside and outside the border suddenly became blurry-eyed, as if they were caught in a beautiful dream. Even when swords and knives were approaching them, they were unaware of it.
Levi immediately understood that in addition to the basic protective function, this thing seemed to have some special power from the goddess Lilith, because her priesthood was something related to dreams.
Holy Light Yakong took the opportunity to throw two Holy Light Storms at the area where the Beastmen were most concentrated. As the dazzling light burst out, dense damage numbers suddenly emerged. In just a moment, it directly caused a total of hundreds of points of damage, and this number was growing rapidly every second.
Although the conditions for fusion are somewhat harsh and the process is somewhat long, the power is now truly considerable.
But Levi decided to ignore all these for the time being. Now the task of killing all the enemies inside the temple was given to Shengguang Yakong, Zhou Miyin and others. He also had to deal with those demons together with Donna and others.
Although these demons have learned the mantra of "stay calm when your friends are in trouble" after the summoned creatures and the big cats launched a sneak attack in the past half hour, now as the defense of the temple becomes more and more difficult, they seem to have some ideas again.
This won’t do. At least before I kill all the beastmen, you’d better just continue to watch the fun. Otherwise, I will let you taste the power of my magic!
So a few minutes later, when the Holy Light Yakong was restored to the state of 9 floating cannons, Zhou Miyin and others killed all the beastmen inside the temple and reoccupied various key points. Donna said excitedly that they had once again successfully forced back those cowardly demons.
But this time Levi felt something was not right, because these demons were too cooperative with him and their behavior was too abnormal.
They advanced and retreated several times, but were never able to achieve any results.
Don’t they know that this will only lead to a waste of manpower?
Don’t they know that if they continue like this, after all the beastmen are dead, they will either choose to escape or end up with the same fate?
They don't look like they're here to fight, but more like...
Wait, you're not here to fight?
Levi's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Lilith's priest hurriedly: "What do you have in your hands want, the beastmen or the devil?"
Because this topic was too sensitive, the other party's face changed slightly, but thinking of all Levi's performance just now and the guidance given by the goddess, she recovered again: "It is a sealed object of a Balor Flame Demon hero."
"The hero of Balor..."
Levi suddenly felt a headache. The types of demons were extremely complicated. The demons that had appeared before him were only a small part of them. There were many more and stronger demons in . But there was no doubt about one thing, that the Balor Flame Demon was recognized as the strongest type among all demons.
It is said that they can even easily defeat all adult five-colored evil dragons and five kinds of metal dragons in close combat.
If this kind of enemy becomes a hero unit, it will definitely be more powerful.
Originally he was not quite sure why the beastmen would go to such great lengths to come and besiege instead of massacring those villages with weaker defenses. However, after knowing the truth, he felt that even if the previous force outside was increased tenfold, it seemed completely understandable.
A Balrog hero is much more valuable than ten thousand low-level beastmen!
At the same time, he couldn't help but sighed: "I think I know why these demons are behaving so strangely. They haven't participated in the battle. It is very likely that they want to borrow the blood and souls here to carry out a large-scale sacrifice and summoning."
Originally, this place was not too far from the abyss rift, and now with so many dead bodies present, the demons would of course take advantage of the situation.
Although most of the corpses came from the Beastmen, the demons could even use themselves as sacrifices, so why would they care about this?
In an ordinary small village, the sacrifice ceremony of a few hundred villagers can summon Iron Horse Demons and Flame-Breath Hellhounds. Then what kind of powerful enemy can the sacrifice of more than two thousand combat-capable beastmen summon?
The pastors' expressions suddenly changed, and they obviously realized the seriousness of the problem. They immediately felt regretful and wondered why they had not noticed this problem before.
After a brief shock, Levi quickly composed himself. Now was not the time to blame others or pass the buck. That was not important at all. What really mattered was that they should try to change the status quo.
The temple's protection can only be used once. If the demons really hold a sacrifice ceremony, what can they use to resist?
"Can your crystal ball see through magical effects like illusions and invisibility? I suspect there is a cunning leader among those demons."
This is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment. You know, in the previous battles, the priests looked back and forth at least dozens of times, but did not find any demons with special appearances. But now that he is almost certain that the other party is able to use the sacrificial ritual, then the other party may have used the power of magic.
The priests suddenly realized what was going on, and then they all knelt down and prayed to their respective goddesses. Then an unprecedented special light came out from the crystal ball, shining directly on the location of the demons.
As they cast the spell, it was as if a fog was blown away, and more than a dozen new figures gradually emerged in the open space in front of the demons.
Although they have no wings behind their backs, they have the demon's signature horns on their heads. They have almost no armor on their bodies and only a whip about six or seven meters long in their hands. Except for their height of about four or five meters, at first glance, the rest of their bodies look like enlarged versions of the Horned Demon Warlords, but without the flaming halo.
But this time, both Levi and the priests gasped, because they all recognized each other at the same time. It was the 5th-level demon among the demons - the Abyss Demon!
In addition to their good attack power and attack range, their defense and health are lower than average in the same level, but they have a very powerful skill, which is to sacrifice the troops killed on the battlefield and then summon the 3rd-level horned demons.
Even if all those who died were level 0 cannon fodder, as long as there were enough of them, they could still summon horned demons. In some special occasions, they would even deliberately send a large number of cannon fodder to die. After consuming the enemy's ammunition , they would perform a sacrificial ceremony and summon a large number of horned demons to counterattack.
Because this skill is too powerful, in some remote areas, they are even given an extremely terrifying name - the Evil God King!
There are at least more than two thousand corpses from both sides around the temple now. Just thinking about it makes Levi feel a little toothache. God knows how many horned demons they can sacrifice?
He also roughly figured out why the corpses of these beastmen were almost never refreshed. Perhaps it had nothing to do with the Abyss Rift, but was entirely caused by these evil gods. Just like the undead, ogres and other races, they could also use special powers to prevent their corpses from being refreshed by the system so quickly.
But more questions arise. Why do the evil kings, who clearly possess the skills of sacrifice, remain silent and just pretend?
Obviously, Xiao Qi and his summons had raided Gog and Magog before, but these guys refrained from taking action until they were all killed, which was really inconsistent with the demons' fanatical bellicosity.
In other words, if they had sacrificed more horned demons as the beastmen continued to die in battle, the temple would probably have been breached by them long ago.
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. Maybe they think this wait is worth it, and there is something that will be much more important than summoning the horned demon!
Even if it was just a guess, Levi felt a little scalp tingling. If this was the case, then shouldn't he also think about retreating? Anyway, Donna's courage test was already completed.
No, let's not be too impulsive, because this battle may be carried out under the watchful eyes of gods, and there may be more than one god...
At this time, a sound like breaking glass came out from the crystal ball, and another fog was dispelled, but this time there was no evil god king in it, instead there was a lonely figure.
It was a beautiful demon with red skin, horns on its head, bat wings on its back, and very obvious female features.
More importantly, the whip in her hand, the armor on her body, the necklace on her chest, etc. were all emitting magical light. She even held a red magic book in her left hand, and flames were constantly emanating from her body. She was truly a flaming red lipstick, so powerful that her magic even made the scene observed in the crystal ball slightly distorted.
This immediately made everyone who saw her realize one thing: she was undoubtedly a demon hero!
Almost at the same time they looked at each other, the other party seemed to notice that she had been discovered, so she first responded with an extremely weird smile, then raised her right claw and made a very provocative throat-cutting gesture.
There was a loud bang and flames burst out suddenly, instantly illuminating the crystal ball with a fiery red color. They could no longer see each other's situation. Instead, they were given a name made up of flames - Namis!
