Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 349 Hell Gate Fortress
The devil Vial, who had completely given up all resistance, was completely smashed to pieces in less than a minute. His body turned into ashes, and only a few objects shining with magical light remained in place.
But its appearance of being at the mercy of others made Levi look down on it even more.
If he were in his shoes, even if he was in a deadly situation, he would fight back with all his might. Even if he could only cause one more point of damage to the enemy, that would be good.
How could it be like this, giving up resistance completely once the battle is lost?
You have to know that it still has thousands of devil troops under its command. Aren't these the kind of people who can go with the flow and attack against the wind?
Even with this, he still calls himself the first military advisor under Bayer?
But no matter what, its poor performance did bring great convenience to its own side.
First, the bloody gate lost its command, and no new demons appeared as reinforcements.
Secondly, it should also be the core of the barrier in the valley. With its death, the barrier will disappear. In this way, all the ranged troops on the Sky Slasher can join the battle.
Finally, without the bonuses of its command and battle attributes, and without the threat of its magic, the remaining demons, although still very brave, have greatly reduced both their individual combat effectiveness and overall threat.
Even though most demons are cunning by nature, they are at most cunning, not intelligent. Whether there are high-level commanders or not is completely different.
However, even in this situation, they did not give up resistance, but insisted on fighting.
As for the other demons, Levi has almost figured out their approximate strength and weaknesses. He is more concerned about the strongest demon on the scene - the Blood Armor Demon, as well as Maltis and his knights who are fighting with it.
How should I put it? They really had no fear of death when they fought, and were almost exchanging injuries with the devils.
Even though they knew that the spears in the hands of the Blood Armor Demons were the most effective against cavalry units, they still launched desperate charges one by one, and even Maltis himself was no exception.
The only difference is that Maltis is strong enough, so even if he charges the Blood-Armored Demon head-on, the damage he suffers will not be too great.
At the same time, the rune sword in her hand kept flashing with bloody light, as if it had some kind of blood-sucking attack that could quickly heal her wounds.
The knights under her command did not have this kind of power, so a considerable number of knights who should not have died lost their lives in vain.
On a large-scale battlefield, without the ability to receive treatment and without the ability to recover life, it is impossible to fight for long unless the strength and equipment can completely crush the opponent.
The same was true for the infantry on the other side, which formed a stark contrast with the Silver Guards under Levi.
Although the spears, shields and armor of the Silver Guards were almost all covered in blood, one could tell from the dark color that it all came from the devil.
Although the Legion of Terror suffered heavy losses, Maltis felt no regret at all. Instead, he felt a little happy.
At this time, Lucia came over and said, "Levi, I kind of like this woman. She is quite similar to me back then. You..."
She didn't finish her words, but Levi already understood what she meant.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult. She doesn't seem to have any special desires."
Lucia wanted to kill Dracula, but Dracula was a legendary vampire and it was not so easy to kill him. This gave her a reason and motivation to survive and become stronger.
But Martis? His understanding of her was still very limited.
What is certain now is that she and the Legion of Dread have not yet truly pledged allegiance to the Church of Bane, otherwise their battle cry would not be the giant snake that does not exist at all.
Lucia laughed and said, "How about leaving it to me?"
Levi raised his eyebrows. He didn't know where the other party got the confidence from, but he didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he decided to give it a try.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lucia immediately approached Martis with a sweet laugh, and then, without knowing what she said, she drew out her rapier and started fighting side by side with him.
Although she has always used a musket as her main weapon, as a vampire and the daughter of Dracula, she is certainly not incapable of close combat. On the contrary, she may even be stronger than most people present.
There is nothing much to say about the following battle. The devils who lost their commanders began to fight on their own. Without the cooperation of other devils, the Legion Demons became pure cannon fodder that could only slow down the progress.
So after spending some time, Levi and his men successfully annihilated the enemy and achieved another epic victory.
Although the battle was full of twists and turns, apart from the Legion of Terror, the Knights of Batto also suffered heavy losses.
Although Levi and his men consumed a large amount of supplies, potions, magic scrolls and other consumable items, not many of them actually died in the battle, and quite a few of them were killed by the devil Vial himself, so it is not surprising that they received this evaluation.
The first place this time is Cindy. Levi's magic was affected by the barrier in the later period, but she brought angels and psychic hammers and killed from beginning to end. Even the strongest devil Vial was killed by her.
Next are Levi, Elegy, Donna, and Alduin. There is nothing much to say about them, they are all powerful hero units.
It is worth mentioning that although the Legion of Fear arrived very late, Maltis squeezed into the top fifteen with its own powerful combat effectiveness.
With Lucia, Stump, Zhang San and others present and the starting lines not at the same level, this record can be said to be very strong.
"Your combat level increases by 15, and you can choose new magic."
"The current random magic list is:
Level 4 magic: Fire Shield, Phantom Killer, Stone Shaping;
Level 5 magic: feeblemindedness, turning mud into stone, stonewalking;
Level 6 magic: Chain lightning, sealed portal."
Levi was suddenly a little hesitant. Psychologically, he certainly wanted to choose chain lightning.
Not only is it a large-scale destructive magic of level 6, but it is also very beneficial when fighting against demons or monsters.
Because most of them are only resistant to fire, and secondly to toxins, they have no resistance to lightning attacks.
But after taking another look at the portal next to him that was still emitting a bloody glow, Levi felt that sealing the portal might come in handy.
After careful consideration, he did not rush to make a choice.
The system had said before that if we could defeat the devil quickly, there might be an unexpected turn of events.
It didn't take long for the devil army to appear and be wiped out. That can definitely be considered fast, right?
"Your Celestial Mystic has been upgraded to Level 5. You have obtained Platinum Heaven - Blessing of Mo Shen. You have obtained the supernatural ability - Holy Power Conversion. You can consume 2 times the magic points to convert the attributes of most of your magic into Holy Magic, such as Holy - Fireball, Holy - Ice Storm, etc.
At that time, the corresponding magic attributes such as fire or ice will be transformed into holy attributes, causing additional damage to evil creatures, but damage such as blunt attacks will not change, and other special effects such as burning or freezing may become ineffective. "
Levi was immediately cheered up. Although there were some drawbacks, compared with its powerful effects, they were not worth mentioning at all.
If he had mastered this supernatural power before the battle started today, perhaps they would not have to wait for Maltis to arrive at all. They could have resolved the battle in advance and exposed the devil's conspiracy!
"You can spend 77X12 gold coins as a gift to directly comprehend the magic - Summon Loyal Servant (Level 5), and 77X15 gold coins as a gift to directly comprehend the magic - Arrow of Holy Power (Level 3)."
Levi took a look and felt very strange. Why did the gold coins required for level 3 magic actually cost more than that for level 5 magic?
But now he is not short of this little money, so of course he chose to take it all.
Then, after seeing the actual results, he immediately understood the reason. Of course, it could only be due to the intensity issue.
Summon Loyal Servant (Level 5). You can randomly summon 1-3 Gadin, Yakong or Aistian of level 5 or below as your temporary servants.
They will do some small things for you that are within their ability and not dangerous, but if you need them to take the risk to fight for you, it may cost extra money, such as gold coins or elemental crystals.
If you have relevant expertise or a high reputation among certain celestial beings, you can choose your summoning target relatively freely.
Levi was a little excited. In addition to the messengers and believers under the major gods, such as Cindy's father, and some angels, Gadin, Yakong and Aici were the three major celestial clans.
These three celestial tribes each have their own characteristics. The Gadins have obvious animal features, and their fighting style is somewhat primitive. They habitually like to use claws and fangs as weapons, and their defense mostly relies on their own fur.
Sub-Kongs are mostly humanoid, and tend to use sophisticated weapons and armor, etc.
As for the Aesir, half of its body is usually human (usually the upper body), and the other half may be an animal, a plant, or even water, magma, or other random things.
Their fighting style is the same as their chaotic good faction, messy, but basically they all know some magic.
Moreover, most of them are very emotional. If they like the summoner, they may even choose to bring their own food and stay with the summoner permanently.
It's not just about becoming each other's thugs or assistants, it's more likely that they will become lovers, partners, etc.
Nowadays, there are many warlocks with celestial blood in the main world, and most of them have ancestors from the Aici celestial clan.
Levi has always been dealing with the first two races and has never come into contact with the Aesir tribe. Now he finally has the opportunity to expand his summoning list.
It is possible that Xiaotian and other Yakongs may have some small opinions, because almost all members of the Yakong are lawful good, while most of the Aishite people are chaotic good. Due to the opposition between the camps, they don't like each other very much.
This will definitely not happen during a fight, but if they are all under the command of one hero unit, there will definitely be frequent problems in coordination on the battlefield.
But that is a matter for the future. If he can really summon the Ai Ci Tian tribe who has both strength and potential, the worst that can happen is that Levi will give the other party a hero spirit, which will almost solve the problem.
Arrow of Holy Power (Level 3), fires a holy arrow at a very long distance, causing extra damage to evil creatures (basic damage and extra damage are based on one's intelligence and level).
The basic range is 150 meters. For every level of the Celestial Mystic, the maximum range increases by 15 meters and is enhanced by feats such as Spell Extended.
Generally speaking, the range of ordinary magic is only a few dozen meters, and some magic will only take effect after directly touching the enemy.
But with Levi's current level, the range of this Holy Power Arrow easily exceeds 200 meters. After using the spell to increase the range, the range can be further increased.
If it is equipped with some special equipment that can increase the range of magic, its range will probably be longer than that of an ordinary crossbow.
The only thing he needed to consider now was whether its damage was high enough. However, considering that this was magic he had spent more than a thousand gold coins to buy, Levi felt that it should not be too bad.
In short, after this upgrade, Levi felt that his overall strength had been greatly improved again. He felt that even though they were both rare professions, the Heavenly Secret Master should be the strongest and top-level one.
The levels and ranks of the other subordinates have improved a lot. A blood elf spellbreaker that Levi values very much has advanced and gained a new skill - seizing summons.
As the name suggests, he can try to turn the enemy's summoned creatures into his own use.
But it only looks powerful, in fact there are many disadvantages.
The first thing to consider is the faction, race, etc. Even if you seize control of the devil or demon, there is no guarantee that you will not be retaliated by the other party.
The second issue is the success rate and consumption. If the breaker is weaker than the opponent, the success rate will be almost zero.
If the Spellbreaker is stronger than the opponent, why not just kill the opponent directly? Why waste time and magic to seize the opponent's summons?
Anyway, most summoned creatures will be forcibly repatriated after their summoner dies.
Finally, there is the issue of consumption. The consumption of this magic is not fixed, but depends on the current health of the summoned creature.
If the opponent is intact, even without considering the issue of success, it is entirely possible that the spellbreaker will use up all of his magic and still not be able to pay the cost of casting the spell.
Therefore, Levi felt that unless he could become a heroic unit, this skill would be of little significance to ordinary spellbreakers.
However, despite so many disadvantages and regrets, Levi still decided to focus on training this male blood elf named Nochon.
Because of the epic victory, the opportunity to advance to an elite level happened to fall on the other party.
You have to know that there are about two thousand troops present, and there are nearly one thousand subordinates who can obtain elite qualifications. The other party can actually get this opportunity. This cannot be explained by luck alone.
Speaking of which, this type of troops, which are not recruited from God-given buildings, still have many advantages.
They may already have a certain amount of combat experience. As long as they are carefully cared for and have gone through a few more battles, they are likely to advance, and the difficulty of training them will be lower.
Then came some tips that Levi didn't particularly care about, such as the Crimson Knight's chessboard was recharged, his legend level was +1 because he had stopped the devil's conspiracy, and he had offended Vial, so his reputation in the first level of hell was directly reduced to blood feud, etc.
Glancing at Lucia over there, he found that she was still chatting with Maltis, and the other party even took off her helmet and revealed her true face.
Although her long hair was pale and lifeless, Martis's face was quite good-looking. At this moment, she even had a slight smile on her face. It was obvious that she was having a good chat with Lucia. Perhaps her plan really had the possibility of success.
So Levi relaxed a little, let the troops rest, surrounded the portal, and began to clean up the spoils.
However, most of these trophies were of little value in Levi's opinion. Although the demons and devils were powerful, they were indeed not a race that was proficient in forging equipment or making magical items.
Moreover, whether it is the Abyss or the Nine Hells of Baator, all kinds of resources are extremely scarce, and steel is considered a very precious material there.
Apart from that, what is most common there is flames and magma, blood and death.
The reason why they are so eager to invade the main world is partly to seize the souls of all things, partly to satisfy the desire for killing, and partly because they want to seize all kinds of materials in the main world out of jealousy, which is definitely a very important reason.
Apart from some soul coins, devil's minions and other materials, the items they drop are either of lower value or evil equipment.
For example, the bloody armor and spears of the Blood Armor Demons, the filthy flails of the Chain Demons, etc., all need to go through special purification rituals before they can be actually used.
As a celestial mystic, Levi could deal with them, but because there were so many of them, it was a little troublesome, so he decided to deal with them later.
Only the devil Vial, a heroic unit, actually gave Levi several very precious trophies.
The first is the 5th-level magic - Magic Permanence. After spending materials such as gold coins, diamonds, elemental crystals, and a certain amount of magic and experience points, he can permanently fix the effects of a small part of the magic he has mastered on himself, other creatures, an object, or a certain area. The materials and experience points consumed will increase with the level of the magic.
Unfortunately, not only are the magic spells suitable for different targets different, but they are also unexpectedly rare in number and ridiculously expensive.
At present, he felt that the only two magics that were useful, suitable for himself or Donna and others to maintain stability, and which he had already mastered, were dark vision and invisibility.
Both of them are just low-level tier 2 magic, but if you really want to keep them on you, one casting would require up to 500 gold coins worth of related materials, which is not just a simple money grab.
Tier 1 Enlargement or Reducement spells also cost 250 gold coins, but they are less suitable for ordinary humanoids and more suitable for animal companions, etc.
If it is against an animal, you can also use magic teeth and magic claws, etc.
In this case, if there is a rich man who is willing to spend enough money, a level 1 animal may be able to defeat a level 2 enemy while maintaining constant magic power.
If you are purchasing items, there are relatively more options to choose from and the prices are much cheaper.
For example, if you cast permanent invisibility on your treasure and then throw it into the treasure house, you don't have to worry too much about ordinary thieves.
If you cast a Level 2 magic weapon animation on a sword or a gun, it will grow legs and attack the enemy at the master's command.
If it is a 6th level magic - animated objects, it would be even more amazing. Tables, chairs, brooms, blankets and the like could all be used for fighting or serving.
If it is a stone statue or armor, it will become a special combat puppet.
However, what Levi values most is the broom, because after mastering his specialty - making magical objects, and combining it with magic such as soaring or flying, he will be able to make some flying brooms as daily means of transportation.
Not to mention the comfort issue, it will definitely look very cool!
But Levi felt that for practicality reasons, he should first make some magic carpets and equip the heroes and magic subordinates in his team.
Now Sally and Alyssa are still squeezed on a magic flying carpet. Although they are both slim, there is no need to worry about anyone being squeezed off, but it is more convenient for them to act alone.
If you use constant attacking magic such as Fire Wall, you may see a never-extinguished magical flame. This is mainly used by mages to create traps and the like, but it is of no use to Levi for the time being.
Next, the opponent used a special ritual - a flame magic barrier.
Its name is ordinary, but its effect is really extraordinary. He has fully experienced it before, and it can only be said that it is ridiculously strong.
Unfortunately, after taking a look at it, he put it away directly, because with his current strength, it was impossible for him to use it alone.
That would require a massive amount, thousands of magic spells to activate, and a large amount of magic would be consumed every minute and every second. Even if he drank magic potions non-stop, it would definitely not be able to meet the demand.
Even the reason why the other party was able to use it was definitely because of this bloody door.
However, if the magic tower can be built, it will probably be useful.
Then there is a magic that is exclusive to demons - teleportation, which allows demons to summon reinforcements from Baator Hell on the battlefield.
Perhaps it was because of this magic, coupled with the portal and so on, that Vial was able to assemble such an army of demons so quickly.
Unfortunately, it is of no use to Levi, so he can only exchange it for money. Some indigenous wizards may be interested in it.
The last one is a vulgar-looking gold chain with 5 gold balls hanging on it, but it actually works quite well and comes with 5 fireballs.
Levi threw it to Alyssa. All of this girl's magic was related to poison. Based on her combat wisdom, her output in a protracted battle was indeed good, but she was extremely lacking in burst, so this could make up for it a little.
After finishing all this, another system prompt popped up.
"Thanks to your timely action, the threat of the devil has been temporarily eliminated, but the power of God still exists. This place will be transformed into a semi-permanent special confrontation instance in 24 hours - Hell Gate Castle."
"The Hell Gate Fortress connects to the first layer of Baator Hell, where you may encounter various devil armies or devil heroes."
"Due to certain special rules, the maximum number of troops, troop levels, and hero levels of both the defender and attacker are subject to certain restrictions."
“Among them, the number of soldiers will not exceed 5 levels (and a maximum of 200), and the number of heroes will not exceed 10 (and a maximum of 16 levels).”
"As the defending devils, you can only send out a maximum of 1,000 devils at a time."
"As the attacking main world party, you can only launch an attack once every five days, and send out a maximum of 500 people each time."
"There are only two ways to exit the dungeon. Kill all enemies or retreat to the starting point."
"The dungeon itself will not produce any loot. All the loot you obtain will come directly from your enemies. However, there is a special treasure hidden in the Hell Gate Fortress, which is also the source of energy that maintains the Hell Gate Fortress."
"Once discovered, you will have the choice of using it and turning Hellgate Fort into a permanent special confrontation copy, or taking it away and completely destroying this Hellgate Fort."
"Since you have made great contributions in this battle, all other chosen heroes will not receive any relevant prompts until the Hell Gate Fort is officially formed."
