So a minute later, when Levi just pushed open an old door, he found a magnificent underground hall in front of him.
At the end of the sight, there is a blood-red altar filled with an ominous atmosphere.
A woman wearing a golden mask was being tied in front of the altar and bled.
Although he couldn't see the other person's face, Levi immediately confirmed the other person's identity from the other person's unique mask, the slender figure that could not be concealed by the bandages, and the special snake staff standing next to him.
Although the Tomb Kings were resurrected by the Egyptian gods, they were either mummies, skeletons, or half-mummies, half-skeletons due to weathering.
They are all extremely thin, and their weight is often less than one-fifth of what it was when they were alive.
Only the Warrior Queen of Lahmia, Khalida, was so unique because she was transformed into a vampire during her lifetime.
She looks no different from a human except that her skin is slightly pale and she doesn't need to breathe or eat.
But now she seemed to be in some special state, and she didn't react at all even when the enemy bled her alive.
As a legendary hero, this is simply incredible.
Then under the altar, there were hundreds of lizardmen who had also been bled and turned into corpses.
Judging from their equipment and the weapons scattered around, in addition to ordinary Lizardman warriors, there are also several small teams of Lizardman's top infantry - the Temple Guards.
The various strange patterns on their bodies showed that they were likely to have received some special blessing.
The gods believed in by the Lizardmen are called the "Ancient Saints". Although they do not care about faith at all and there are almost no churches or even statues of gods, they do prove their existence in other ways.
These blessed lizardmen are often called "blessed lizardmen".
There is often a big gap in strength between them and ordinary soldiers of the same level and name, and they are almost all elite units.
But despite this, they all turned into corpses, were piled together haphazardly, and became sacrifices in some huge magic circle.
Levi now finally understood that the Temple of Bones was not without guards, but all the guards had been killed.
The one who took action was not the being Levi had guessed before, but a very beautiful and typical vampire with bat wings on her back.
At this time, she was several meters away from Khalida, protected by a blood-colored energy shield.
Visible streams of energy gushed out from the corpses on the ground and from the unconscious Khalida, and it seemed that she was presiding over this grand ceremony.
The thousands of undead in the hall are naturally her helpers.
There are no low-level zombies, skeletons or ghouls. Instead, there are large numbers of bodaks, demon souls, mummies, ghosts, as well as necromancers and vampires.
There is no doubt that this is a very typical church belonging to the Lich God - Velsharoon!
When Visharoon's kingdom of God was destroyed and it was forced to fall into the main world and is still being besieged by various forces, Levi discovered a church of such a scale. He can be said to have caught a big fish.
This big fish now may be a ferocious shark.
Although it is almost certain that the other party used some conspiracy and tricks, the power of the person who was able to control the legendary Khalida should not be underestimated.
Looking at Levi who pushed the door open, the female vampire's face was full of mockery at first, because she had already sensed the other party's arrival and had her subordinates on high alert.
But when she saw those celestial creatures, her expression changed immediately.
Not fear or dread, but joy: "Are you the high elf wanted by my Lord, Levi from Black Castle?"
Although he had heard about Visharon's stinginess, Levi almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.
After all, he is a god. When he was defeated, he did not go looking for trouble with other gods, but instead offered a reward for himself. This is like picking the persimmon first. You are too...
But isn't this also an opportunity?
So he secretly made a quick gesture to Cindy, Wange and others, indicating them to step back for the time being, and Levi took the initiative to step forward a few steps.
"If the master you are talking about is the guy named Velsharon, then it is indeed me."
The smiling female vampire suddenly changed color again after hearing this: "How dare you call my Lord by his name?"
Sefasonia beside her also changed color, and even the cold-hearted Martis did not hide his surprise.
No matter how notorious or how weak he is, Velsharoon is still a true god after all.
Not to mention calling someone by their name so impolitely, many people don’t even dare to curse a few more words in their hearts.
Because the gods have a special instinct, any mortal who calls their name will be directly sensed by them.
If it is the silent prayers of priests and believers, it will also be transmitted directly to them.
So the gods are actually very busy, and they often create clones to assist them in carrying out related work.
Or someone as arrogant as the Prince of Lies, Cyric, who simply blocks out most of the voices that don't interest him.
The reason why Levi had said more than once that Lilith was really strong was also related to this.
She holds several positions, each of which covers different groups of priests and believers. She is also a well-known workaholic, and appears more times in a year than most gods do in their entire lives.
She receives countless prayers and calls every day, and has to give different responses according to different situations. Just thinking about it, you can tell how hard she is working.
If the gods use their divine power, they can even know whether someone is secretly cursing him in his heart.
Therefore, in most cases, even churches that are in a hostile state will hardly directly insult the other party's gods.
However, there is an exception, that is, mortals who mention each other's names are protected by other gods.
For example, Levi now.
Lilith may be the best in the world at playing the pig and eating the tiger, and she has rich experience.
In addition, her true strength is far stronger than that of Visharoon, and she also possesses the priesthood of mist, so it is not too easy to cover up this little thing.
But this time Levi did not hide it. He even communicated with Lilith in advance, wanting her to temporarily cancel this special care, and she agreed.
Because he and she have the same purpose.
Even though Velsharoon has lost his kingdom of God, he is still a powerful lich. Even with the blessing of his godhood and priesthood, it can be said that he is the strongest lich.
Before he was deified, he was certainly not the strongest lich. He was just lucky to be chosen by Talos, the Storm King, who wanted to train him first and then kill him to become food for his own strengthening.
But he was cunning and changed this situation by clinging to the Mother of Magic.
Then he began to find the liches in the main world one by one and destroy them, so now he is indeed the strongest lich.
With such a guy lurking in the background, it is inevitable that people will feel a little worried. It is better to take the initiative to lure him out and then kill him.
As a man who is proud, arrogant and narrow-minded, Visharoon certainly cannot bear to see an ordinary creature, whose strength he does not even take seriously, shouting and insulting him.
The success rate of this plan is actually very high!
So when faced with the angry female vampire, he didn't care: "Oh, you mean that the kingdom of God has been destroyed, and now it's Velsharon who is running around like a rat?"
This time, not only the female vampire was stunned, but also Sefa and others who were retreating according to Cindy's instructions were a little dazed.
For a moment, they almost doubted their ears. Was Levi deliberately provoking the high-level believers of the Lich God, or even himself?
As for the other necromancers present, they were trembling with fear at this moment and did not dare to speak at all.
It's not the fear of Levi, but the fear of Visharoon.
Because according to their past experience and some stories circulating secretly, if Visharoon really appeared now, it would not just be the arrogant elf on the opposite side who would die.
Those believers who failed to stop the other party from making wild remarks in time will probably not have a good ending either...
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because he has been fished in this way recently, or he is really unable to get away for the time being, or for some other reason, but Visharoon did not show up immediately to punish Levi, the mortal who dared to blaspheme the gods.
He didn't send any message to the female vampire, as if he didn't hear it at all...
Then there was a rare few seconds of calm at the scene, and neither the enemy nor our side made any major moves.
Levi was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he laughed.
"Look, even though I insulted him like this, he didn't dare to say anything because he was already busy with his own business."
Then he changed the subject: "On the contrary, I am really curious, why would you, a vampire, call yourself a follower of Velsharoon?"
As we all know, although Velsharoon's believers include special creatures such as liches and users of undead power such as necromancers, he is also the only god who can recruit believers among undead creatures.
But it is clear that liches are transformed from the souls of powerful wizards, but as for vampires, even the gods are not sure whether they have souls, so how can they have faith?
The female vampire was also stunned when she heard this, and then she became a little angry and said: "That's my business , Levi, you insulted my Lord, and dared to be so presumptuous in front of the great Viper Queen, you will pay the price for this!"
The female vampire who called herself the Viper Queen raised her right hand high, ready to give orders to kill Levi and the troops behind him.
But at this moment, another female voice sounded: "Hmm, I seem to remember who she is. No wonder she looks a little familiar."
When Levi turned around, he saw Maltis rubbing his head gently and said thoughtfully:
"The Viper Queen, Nitotris, was a follower of Velsharoon. She once attempted to seize the divinity of the Tomb Queen, Khalida, and use it to become a god."
"But it was destroyed by Khalida's hired 'Destruction Seeker' - the dwarf butcher Gotrek and his human companion Felix."
"I didn't expect that you, who were originally believed to be dead, would be transformed into a vampire?"
Gotrek, the legendary dwarf butcher, the strongest but also the most failed butcher in history.
When all dwarves swear to become butchers, they will shave their proud beards, take off their armor, shave their hair into a cockscomb shape, and dye it a striking bright yellow.
Then they would not carry any ranged weapons, but only their battle axes, and challenge the strongest enemy they knew until they died in battle.
Because all dwarves who swear to become butchers do so because they feel deeply insulted or are atonement for some mistake.
From now on, they will sacrifice their lives just to pursue a glorious death.
And Gotrek has killed countless powerful enemies, but he is still alive, so for the dwarf butcher, he is the biggest failure.
But as a fighter, he is undoubtedly the epitome of strength.
He truly fought his way from north to south and from west to east, and was almost completing his journey around the world.
Dragons, giants, demon lords and the like were all his glorious achievements.
They even sank a dark elf's black ark.
You have to know that those things are all made of islands and even fragments of continents.
Although their name contains the word "boat", they are actually towns floating on the sea.
Even the Dragon Prince had to lead his dragon guards to sink the dark elves' black ark, the Torment of Pain and Death.
God knows how they did it with only two people.
To some extent, being able to be killed by Khalida and Gotrek together is enough for the Viper Queen to be proud of.
But obviously , the Viper Queen doesn't think so.
Her face suddenly became even uglier, and she was even more angry from the bottom of her heart than when Levi insulted Vishallen just now.
"That damned stone-head, that cursed dwarf..."
A series of curses burst out of her mouth. It was obvious that her hatred for Gotrek was even more serious than that for Khalida. She didn't know how he had provoked her in the first place.
But Levi did roughly understand the whole story.
The Viper Queen sounds like she has something to do with snakes, and with Khalida, who was once a follower of the Serpent God.
The dead opponent came back for revenge with the help of the gods. She knew Khalida's weaknesses and had the power, so she set up some traps in advance.
It doesn't seem incomprehensible that she put Khalida in such a desperate situation.
After cursing for nearly half a minute, the Viper Queen finally stopped.
Because while she was venting her anger, Levi had been casting magic on his own, summoning more constructs and celestial creatures.
Similarly, Cindy also summoned several angels in succession. This underground hall was extremely spacious and more than 20 meters high, which was enough for them to move around.
Sally, Sefa and others also summoned some fire elements that were more effective in restraining the undead.
So watching the number of enemies increase, the Viper Queen just felt like a big fool.
"Damn you Levi, when my Lord's plan succeeds, you, along with Khalida and that damned dwarf, will be turned into a pile of dry bones and rotten flesh, and then trampled under my feet!"
After uttering this curse, which was very vicious to ordinary Tomb Kings but was like a breeze to Levi, she finally ordered her troops to launch an attack.
Many undead wizards finally breathed a sigh of relief, because if Levi continued to scold them, the angry Visharon might really kill everyone present, and even they might be affected...
So now they are putting in a lot of effort when they cast the spell.
In addition, there were many vampires on the scene, so all of a sudden, all kinds of magic related to darkness, death and curses came pouring down.
But unfortunately, those standing in the front are some Death Guards. As constructs, most negative effects are ineffective against them.
To some extent, they also restrain the undead.
On the contrary, Cindy, Sally and Sefa's fire magic can often cause considerable damage to the undead.
Flame strike, flaming tentacles, fire wall, fireball...
Many celestial creatures also took action. In fact, in addition to melee types such as the Tiger Master and the Wolf Master, many celestial creatures also possess certain long-range capabilities.
Not to mention that there are now many Blani angels and Barani angels who can use bows and arrows as weapons and cast some low-level magic.
Thanks to their joint efforts, although the Undead had an absolute advantage in numbers, in reality the fight was almost one-sided.
Many low- and mid-level Undead were completely destroyed before they could even get close to the front row of Death Guards.
In addition, what attracted the attention of both the enemy and our side was undoubtedly Levi's glorious crown.
But behind his head appeared a halo peculiar to high-level celestial creatures. The undead creatures within a certain range would not only be blinded, dizzy and weakened with a high probability, but would also continue to suffer damage.
Especially those relatively fragile ghosts, which often turn into smoke before they can really get close to them.
And when he used the Heavenly Gaze and his eyes radiated pure light, the undead who were hit would either fall into a state of fear or be killed instantly on the spot like those ghosts.
In fact, the success rate of this move was not so high, but he had already instructed the Doom Priests to cooperate with him.
In addition, he specifically targeted the weaker Undead, so he seemed very impressive, killing one with one move.
For a moment, even in the fierce battle, it attracted a lot of attention.
Especially those from the Ai Ci Tian Clan, their eyes almost lit up when they looked at him.
He is in the good camp and is very powerful. Although his charm is not as good as those warlocks who rely on charm for a living, if you just look at his appearance, he is also very handsome.
All these things really fit their standards for choosing a partner.
But Levi didn't care too much because he was already somewhat used to it.
Although it is not spring now, these thorny angels seem to still be in mating season.
Or maybe every day is spring for them?
He was just a little surprised at Maltis's performance. She had been so lazy before. What had stimulated her today? He didn't say anything, did he?
But it's true, even though this place is underground and she can't fight on horseback, it actually affects her performance, but she still wields the frost-covered sword with great vigor.
It was also the first time that Levi saw her use powers other than martial arts.
He didn't remember giving her any frost-related enchantment scrolls, so it could only be her own power.
Then she stretched out her hand and a high-level vampire flying in the air flew towards her uncontrollably.
Then she grabbed the man's head with one hand, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless. She chopped off his head easily like killing a chicken.
She then did the same thing and soon captured the second vampire.
His movements are so skillful that you can tell at a glance that he has used it many, many times.
But it's no wonder, when she was working for the Snake Cult, she was a full-time killer.
Except for the fact that the Snake Cult did not have the courage to provoke the elves, basically all the surrounding races had been beaten by her, including the undead of course.
This also allowed Levi to confirm her true profession for the first time, because the move she used was the Death Grip unique to the Death Knight.
Once used, weaker enemies will fly towards her uncontrollably, which is especially powerful when dealing with magic units.
No wonder the greatsword she used was so special, because it was a rune greatsword specially used by the Death Knight.
I just don't know which of the three systems that the Death Knight specializes in, Evil, Blood, and Frost, she is better at, or whether she has mastered all three.
But no matter what, she can be said to be very talented, and even Sonia and Sefa next to her were a little surprised.
Although they had killed many evil undead in the past, the Death Knights were one of the few who saw their strength increase instead of decrease after being transformed into undead.
But Levi just looked at it for a few times and then continued to deliberately show off his strength and show off his power.
In fact, at this point, saving Khalida from danger is certainly very important, but it is no longer the primary goal.
If they could fish out Velsharoon, both he and Lilith would gain more!
But to his disappointment, even though Levi deliberately killed several necromancers wearing church emblems, Visharoon still did not show up.
Instead, the Viper Queen became even more angry.
However, the curse words she used were so low-level that they couldn't make Levi angry at all.
As for the necromancers and vampires under her command, their performance was really not that good.
They could certainly easily crush the greenskins who didn't know magic, but when faced with Levi and others who were equally proficient in magic and very restrained towards them, they couldn't even mount a decent counterattack.
I don’t know if this is just how strong they are or if they suffered too many losses when dealing with the Lizardmen.
But their defeat was not unfair. Putting aside other things, just the number of hero units, Levi's side had completely crushed them.
Seeing a large number of undead quickly turning into completely useless dead things, the Viper Queen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She temporarily postponed the ceremony and quickly mobilized the power of magic, while glaring at Levi fiercely: "Damn elf, you asked for this, come and taste the new power bestowed upon me by my Lord!"
As she cursed, a portal opened rapidly, and Levi immediately knew that she must be casting summoning magic.
And he could roughly determine that she summoned some demons.
However, most demons love red because it symbolizes their favorite blood and fire.
This gay pink and purple color was the first time he had seen it!
Following a few screams, a bird-headed demon wearing a pink and purple robe and with two horns on his head, holding a staff in one hand and a sword in the other, stepped out of the portal first.
Next came a large group of ugly creatures with huge heads, ferocious sharp teeth, and strange pink, blue or purple light emitting from their bodies.
At first glance, they look a bit like Squiggs, or like eggs that have become spirits. They all have a big head and a big mouth, which already take up a considerable proportion of their body.
But looking at their several-foot-long tongues, the devil horns on their heads, the thick tails behind their buttocks, and the four to six long, sharp limbs, you know they must be demons.
Holding short blades, they were like noisy sparrows, chirping or screaming as they poured out madly.
And on their bodies, there are often several wandering faces, as if with painful expressions whose souls are bound.
Although their expressions were clearly painful, bursts of evil laughter could be heard from time to time coming from the mouths of those souls.
The whole picture looks creepy, and sounds even more terrifying.
Even some high-level undead vampires and some necromancers nearby couldn't help but step back a little.
They are courageous, but not completely fearless.
Especially since these demons not only have blazing high temperatures on their bodies, which makes them very uncomfortable, they also seem to be able to do something to the souls of mortals, which makes them even more wary.
Even if they were summoned by the Viper Queen, are the Demon Eaters really new?
As these strange-looking demons continued to pour out, Levi in ​​the distance frowned repeatedly.
Because he happened to have obtained relevant knowledge about this special demon from Lilith.
They are Tzeentch demons who are best at manipulating people's hearts and minds. They especially like to use various conspiracies to make the good camp kill each other, which is quite similar to the style of the Prince of Lies - Cyric.
Except for the leader whose identity is currently unknown, the rest are all a type of Tzeentch's terror.
Depending on the color, their strength will vary slightly, ranging from level 2 to level 4.
They basically all wield the power of demonic fire and are special long-range shooters, somewhat similar to Gog.
But the difference is that Gog throws a fireball, which can only be effective on a single target before it is upgraded.
But the magic they cast is like waves, and even if it is just a level 2 horror monster, it can cause damage to enemies in a small range, and their melee ability is slightly better.
In addition, there is one very special point, that is, once a pink Tzeentch monster is killed, two blue monsters of a lower level will immediately be born from its corpse.
When a blue horror is killed, it will transform into two weaker purple horrors.
Only after all the purple monsters were killed, they were considered completely dead in the main world.
Otherwise, if a purple terror escapes, it may turn back into a pink terror in a short time.
These characteristics make them a very disgusting species among demons of the same level.
It is very difficult to kill them, but we cannot ignore them because they use magic attacks, which are quite lethal to ordinary soldiers.
But as far as Lilith knows, they should have become extinct a long time ago, right?
This Viper Queen, no, to be more precise, the Lich God behind her - Velsharoon, where on earth did he dig them out from?
