Edward was immediately shocked. How was it possible to complete a 9th-level magic in such a short time?
But before he could make any move, he felt some powerful energy erupting from inside his body, tearing his body apart almost instantly.
The equipment he was proud of and the reliable body he had trained for countless years seemed to not exist at this moment.
Then, he felt his consciousness rapidly dissipating, and there was only darkness before his eyes.
He suddenly understood. So, this was death...
Even though he already knew the opponent's strength, when he saw his entire body explode from the inside out into a large blood mist and then disappear with the wind.
Even when that rather impressive piece of armor fell to the ground along with several other items, Levi couldn't help but marvel at it.
He originally thought that although this dragon-headed envoy was very powerful, he would at least have to fight him for two moves. Who would have thought that the opponent would be killed instantly by him with just one move!
He immediately asked Shadow Element to collect the spoils, and Levi praised happily: "You are indeed worthy of being Lord Soslan!"
The dragon-headed envoy named Soslan shook his head, and a slightly old male voice sounded: "No, it's just that he was already seriously injured before, and it just happened to trigger my spell critical strike."
Killing the opponent instantly was indeed beyond his expectations.
Because implosion is not a magic that emphasizes instantaneous explosion, it emphasizes continuous damage.
With his current strength, as long as he keeps casting spells, he can theoretically cause up to 200 points of damage to the opponent per second.
But who knew that the other party was so unlucky and was killed by him in one move?
Levi wasn't sure for a moment whether the other party was being modest or it was really the case, but this didn't stop him from praising the other party a little.
After all, the opponent is a powerful hero of level 20, and one more level will make him a legend.
Apart from the uncertainty about Khalida who is obviously in poor condition, he is undoubtedly the strongest fighter on his side at present.
Moreover, the opponent's scales showed that he was good at water and ice, which would play a big role in the next battle.
Although no one knew how old Soslan was, he rarely received such praise in Paradise.
Because the celestial beings were not good at this, most of the time they looked at him with reverence and kept a polite distance.
So after just a few words, he started to smile and his favorability towards Levi increased sharply.
I felt a little moved in my heart. No wonder the other party became the only mortal to receive the blessing of the Six Paths Heaven Mountain in the past few hundred years.
His intelligence and cleverness alone are beyond the reach of the little ones at home.
But in contrast to them, the remaining Blood Knights and others below looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say.
Because until now, they still find it hard to believe that this is really the truth.
Before setting out, the Earl vowed that he would deal with these flies that came to disrupt the situation within a quarter of an hour, defeat Set's lackeys, and finally kill Khalida.
It would have been fine if the mission had started off badly, after all, the opponent was a high-level mage with a flying mount, and everyone knew that he would be very difficult to deal with.
Unexpectedly, without any warning, he was suddenly killed, and he didn't even have a word to say. How should this battle be fought next?
But they were not confused for a few seconds, because the Red Flame Master kept attacking them from above.
When he first realized that he was being used as bait, he was actually somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
But soon when the Dragon-Headed Envoy appeared, all his related emotions turned into excitement and amazement.
He then further realized that the summoner this time was actually a celestial mystic, and it seemed that he had been blessed more than once.
In this situation, how could he not give his all?
If I can maintain a good relationship with the other party and frequently participate in the war as a helper, even if I die in battle, my deeds will definitely be passed down among the Ai Ci Tian clan!
After some brief courtesies, Levi and Soslan both began to cast powerful magic, easily blasting the Blood Knights and Terror Knights into pieces.
No matter how powerful these guys are on the ground, they have no power to resist when facing them from a high position.
Even though he may be relatively weaker, Levi is still a level 16 mage.
After doing all this, they, together with the Red Flame Envoy, flew directly towards the direction where Khalida was.
However, as the distance got closer, when Soslan saw clearly his own side fighting in the distance, he couldn't help but frown.
"Summoner, they are celestial creatures from the Kingdom of God. Although they are scavengers, which I don't like very much, and they tend to be evil, I still need to do my best to avoid conflicts with them."
There are no scavenger-like creatures among the Gaidingtians, because the Heaven Mountain where the Yakongs live, the Paradise Land where the Gaidingtians live, or the two tribes themselves, all hate and despise those creatures.
If he encountered the other party under other circumstances, even if these super-giant vultures, jackals, etc., carried the aura of heaven, he would only rush up to fight at the first moment, and then kill them without hesitation.
Because their existence itself is an offense to the Gaidingtian clan, even a blasphemy.
But if the other party is from the kingdom of a certain god, even if it is an evil god, he must be cautious.
Because at that time he would not only represent himself, but the entire Gaiding clan.
The Gedintian people are accustomed to serving the gods of order, kindness and justice, while they also maintain a certain awe of evil gods.
Levi didn't care about it. He had already known about this taboo of the Gaidingtian clan and the Yakongs.
"It doesn't matter. Our goal is to rescue Khalida from the Sphinx's back."
Then he changed the subject: "You can clean up the undead around you first. As for those celestial creatures, you can stay put, but if they take the initiative to attack you, you can fight back, right?"
Soslan said without hesitation: "Of course!"
Awe does not mean fear or terror.
Passive counterattack is the biggest concession they can make.
Moreover, the paradise where the Gaiding people live is one of the planes with the most kindness tendencies. Like the Seventh Heaven Mountain, it is the core area of ​​the forces of kindness in the entire universe.
A typical evil god like Set would suffer extremely severe weakening if he went there.
Not to mention one Set, he felt that even if there were 10 Sets attacking at the same time, Paradise would not be in much danger.
The Lion-Headed Prince and the Five Lords of Gaidin are not people to be trifled with. When they were in Paradise, they were at worst demigods!
As they got closer, all kinds of magic naturally did not stop. The two of them divided the work, one to deal with the Silver Blood Army, and the other to deal with the celestial creatures sent by Set.
Although the Red Flame Master's performance was relatively weaker, he was still able to cast low- and medium-level fire magic such as Fireball and Fire Wall with ease.
In addition to the spell that Soslan had used before, the implosion spell, which was specifically designed to target a single target, the spell he liked to use was actually quite similar to Cindy's.
Flame Strike, Blade Barrier, and Holy Glacier were all almost instantaneous in his powerful hands, and he really eliminated a lot of enemies.
In comparison, although Levi's strength is also very good, because Set's side are all celestial creatures, and some of them are super giant monsters of more than ten meters in height, it is difficult to see how much effect it has for a while.
At the same time, what surprised him a little was that in the face of their attack, the Silver Blood Army cursed and roared continuously, questioning him about Edward's whereabouts.
The celestial creatures sent out by Set kept silent and just attacked them silently.
This made Levi, who had originally intended to find out some information, unable to do so for a moment, and he could only give the other party a few more hard blows as a return gift.
On the other side, Cindy and many angels had successfully killed the most threatening beast, so she had enough energy to cast a few spells, trying to open a passage for Khalida.
Affected by this, the Silver Blood Army and Set's side, which had just barely maintained a balance, soon could no longer maintain their blockade of Khalida.
After all, she is not alone now, but riding a level 7 big cat.
Before, Levi made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and with the cooperation of the shadow element and the rat master, he successfully gave her the space ring.
Not only are there a large number of consumables inside, but there are also many constructs including big cats.
Although in theory high-level magic troops are needed to successfully control it, as the Queen of the Tomb Sweepers, how could Khalida not have any solution?
The other Tomb Kings can all ride on the Sphinx. It's impossible that she is the only one who is outdone, right?
As it turned out, his guess was right. With the big cat, Khalida didn't have to be distracted by dealing with those super-giant monsters. She could freely dance with the snake-head spear and shoot out deadly venom arrows.
With the help of his and Soslan's magic cover, and the assistance of Maltis who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Khalida finally managed to break free from the siege and meet up with them.
Since Levi had just been fighting Edward, he paid less attention to this side.
This girl, Martis, was always elusive, and he didn't notice what she did specifically.
But now, looking at the many scars on her body and the bloodstains on her spear and sword, you can tell that she must have tried very hard.
The blood in the undead's body had already cooled and condensed. If she hadn't killed a certain number of them, it would have been impossible for her to end up like this.
At this time Cindy also cheered, turned around and led the angels to continue killing the remaining bloodthirsty sky demons.
Now that Khalida has successfully escaped from danger, our team's next battle strategy will be relatively free.
At this moment, not only were Khalida's clothes torn, but even a part of the golden mask she wore all day was broken. One can imagine what kind of danger she had encountered before.
But as the legend goes, she is not a mummy.
Although her skin was pale and bloodless, somewhat similar to a vampire, one had to admit that just from the small part that was exposed, one could tell that she was a rare beauty.
After looking at Levi, Khalida did not say anything to thank him for a while, because her heart was filled with shame and she felt almost ashamed.
She felt that all the embarrassing things that had happened to her over hundreds or thousands of years seemed to have been caught up by Levi in ​​just two days.
First, he fell into Velsharoon's trap, was bound, bled, and ambushed without knowing it;
Then they were ambushed by the Ratmen and the Silver Blood Army. Although they won, they suffered heavy losses.
Then, he was bewitched and severely injured by Edward using the magic circle left by Nagash.
They were besieged by the celestial creatures sent by Set...
Almost every time, Levi saw it and had to rely on him to rescue him!
Then Levi was very surprised to find that the exposed part of Khalida's face gradually turned red under his gaze!
My goodness, just looking at this point, he seemed to be able to roughly understand why the Serpent God had been dead for so many years, but Khalida was still grateful to him. That guy was really good to her back then!
But it would be a bit impolite to continue staring like this, so Levi released a holy ice storm and joked: "Kalida, this is the Sphinx I created with great difficulty, you have to pay for it for me~"
Kalida hummed softly. As a woman of great wealth and power, she didn't take this little matter to heart at all. Even if high-level soul crystals were more difficult to obtain, at most she could get 10 or 20 times the compensation in other aspects.
She just gritted her teeth and said, "Levi, they want to take away my divinity and help Set become the new snake god. No wonder he recently called himself the 'hands and feet of the giant snake'!"
Levi nodded, he already knew this.
Even when Khalida was trapped in the Temple of Bones, he had suspected that it was Set who was behind it.
After all, for other gods or mortals, the divinity in Khalida is a good thing that can enhance strength and prolong life. It is also a precious currency that can be used for transactions.
But for Seth, it's more than that.
That was the key for him to formally consolidate the priesthood of the Serpent God and even to officially compete with the Serpent God - Melshok, and compete for the Serpent believers.
He was even certain that after Khalida fell into the trap twice and exposed her weaknesses and shortcomings, there would be more gods or people who would cause trouble for her in the future.
After all, there is no God backing her up. Once the enemy finds out her true strength, she will become a prey.
As soon as she saw Levi's expression, Carida immediately felt something was wrong: "You knew all this a long time ago?"
"Well, when I was in the Underdark before, I found that Set was trying hard to win the snake-men believers in the name of 'Zehir'."
As he spoke, Levi once again released a sacred version of the Flaming Skull.
What's more, after killing Edward, these undead not only lost their commander, but a considerable number of them also seemed to begin to become weak.
Generally speaking, the undead can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Undead who can maintain their existence for a long time by relying on their own magic power. Basically, mid- and high-level undead can do this easily.
They rely on the magic of the surrounding environment to exist, often in places like mass graves, where naturally awakened skeletons, zombies, and ghosts are not only weak, but also often cannot leave too far;
Another part is temporarily awakened by necromancers or vampires through magic, and they need to continuously input magic power to maintain their existence.
Their strength is harder to define, but generally speaking, with just a little bit of time, they can be transformed into the first type.
But now, Edward seemed to lack the time and energy to do this for the time being, which led to his death and a considerable number of undead showing obvious weakness.
Their various attributes began to decline continuously. When this state continued for a certain period of time, even if they were not attacked from the outside, they might turn into rotten corpses again.
But Levi will not give them this opportunity, because they are no longer a threat now, but the food for him to become stronger!
After hearing what Levi said, and looking at the dragon-headed envoy fighting alongside him, Khalida felt even more frustrated.
Really, in comparison, it seemed like she had been dwelling on her past glory and hadn't made any progress in many years.
Maybe it's time to make a real change!
Just as she was secretly making up her mind, the celestial creatures sent by Set seemed to have received some orders and stopped fighting with the surrounding undead.
They would rather pay some price to forcibly withdraw from the battle and focus their attack on Khalida.
In comparison, after losing Edward's command, the undead seemed much sluggish.
It seems that the Silver Blood Army and the City of Lahmia have something in common in this regard. The decision-making power and wisdom are all concentrated in the leaders, resulting in the subordinates seriously lacking the ability to cope with the war once the enemy's decapitation tactics are successful.
This would be very beneficial to Levi and his team.
Because Levi is not just satisfied with rescuing Khalida, now it's time to collect some interest!
After recovering her condition and getting in tune with her mood, Khalida was just about to thank Levi and the Dragon God's Messenger when she heard a dragon's roar.
Then the Dragon Head Envoy shouted angrily: "Damn it, if that's the case, I will grant you a glorious death, so that you won't tarnish the reputation of the celestial beings!"
Having said this, he directly began to chant a spell. For him who could cast most low- and medium-level magic instantly, this could only mean that he was preparing a terrifying high-level magic.
Khalida was a little surprised, but Levi almost laughed out loud.
Because Soslan had already explained the details to him through telepathy.
After seeing Levi trying to communicate with the other party but failing, Soslan also wanted to communicate with the other party again.
He also had good intentions, because no matter what, as a master of the celestial mysteries, Levi should not get too upset with other gods, as this would be detrimental to his future development.
Then he was humiliated.
The other party did respond, but the overall meaning can be summarized in six words: either get out or die!
This immediately made Soslan angry. Almost all members of the Gaidingtian clan have the savagery of wild beasts. Is it really because they are easy to mess with?
Not to mention that Soslan is a powerful hero who is only one step away from becoming a legend. How could he tolerate such provocation from the other party?
It would be fine if it was Seth himself, but now the other side only has slightly more numbers. There is not even half an opponent who can really catch up with him, or even be close to him.
If he doesn't respond, once the news gets out, the outside world might mistakenly think that the Gaidingtian clan is a group of weak guys!
So he directly began to cast another powerful spell, which was also the most powerful spell he mastered - Storm of Revenge!
In fact, almost as soon as he started to act, the enemies on both sides sensed the impending danger. They rarely put aside their hostility at the same time and instead joined forces to launch a fierce attack on Levi and his men.
But Levi certainly knew that things had reached the most critical step. According to Soslan, after this move, the battle situation here could basically be determined. This was his confidence as a level 20 dragon god envoy.
So Levi also gave it his all, throwing out a large number of constructs as if they were free, using all summoning magic continuously, and even sending out shadow elements that were not particularly good at frontal combat to delay time.
In this situation, even if the enemy tried their best, they could not break through the siege. This slightly lengthy spell was finally released successfully.
Accompanied by the formation of a black storm cloud with a diameter of more than 400 meters, there was first a deafening sonic attack, followed by highly corrosive acid rain, then lightning and hail, and finally heavy rain and howling winds.
As time goes by, the enemy will be hit by more and more types of attacks at the same time, and when multiple attacks are superimposed on each other, the damage suffered will often be further increased.
Acid rain will reduce its defense and magic resistance, heavy rain will reduce its movement speed and dodge ability, and when lightning strikes, the damage it suffers will be maximized.
In this situation, the vultures that are larger and have the strongest vitality are the first to die, because their size makes them withstand more attacks at the same time.
The raging magical energy lasted for more than 30 seconds. At the beginning, Levi and Khalida used some long-range attacks to assist.
But in the second half, they both gave up because it was no longer necessary.
After the dark clouds dispersed, there were no longer any enemies in the area covered by the magic. No matter whether they were undead or celestial creatures, they were all reduced to ashes.
Even the ground was blasted down several meters. This was the powerful force of a spellcaster close to the legendary level.
For ordinary warriors, I don’t know how long they would have to work hard to achieve a similar effect. In terms of pure destructive power, the magic system will always be the real strong one.
Except for a small number of Undead who saw the bad situation and escaped before the spell succeeded, and the Undead who were originally outside the range of the spell, most of the powerful men of the Silver Blood Army were wiped out by Soslan's move.
As for the celestial creatures sent by Set, they were completely wiped out, because Soslan now hated them even more than the undead.
As for the few constructs that were affected, it was not a big deal.
Seeing this, not only Levi was amazed, but even Khalida was a little confused. She felt like a frog in a well.
Ask yourself, if she had just been within range of the attack, would she have survived?
Having been immersed in her hatred for her cousin for so many years, she has ignored too many things. Even if the gods are not counted, there are still many beings that can kill her!
After doing all this, Soslan was obviously out of breath, and his originally silvery-white scales seemed to have lost much of their luster.
Because the regular revenge storm is not so powerful, in order to maintain the honor of the Gaiding Clan, he not only took the initiative to launch an attack, but also really tried his best.
"Summoner, is there anything else you want me to do?"
"No, Soslan, you have done enough. Let us handle the rest."
While saving Khalida, Levi certainly did not interrupt contact with the battlefield on the other side. Then he was very pleased to learn that no accidents happened there.
Wang Jierui even discovered that although the battle situation was not particularly clear, the chosen heroes in the opposing team seemed to have received some signal and began to actively leave the battlefield.
And that point in time happened to be when Edward was killed instantly by Soslan.
It is obvious that they must have received relevant tasks regarding this battle, and Edward's survival is also a very critical point.
After Edward died in the battle, they should have received a prompt from the system and realized that the situation on the battlefield was about to change significantly.
If they don't leave now, they may never be able to leave.
In this situation, even without Soslan's help, we still have a great chance of winning.
Of course, there is another point, that is, he wants to use the Nine Volumes of Nagash to collect the souls of Set's younger brothers.
Although those guys remained silent throughout the entire battle and looked like cannon fodder, in fact, none of them was below level 5. It was possible that after this battle, he would have more high-quality materials for making the Sphinx.
But he was not sure about Soslan's attitude towards this for the time being, so he decided to send him away first.
Soslan didn't know that Levi had thought so much in such a short time. He just nodded and said, "Levi, you are very good. Come and sign an oath of alliance with me."
"If you encounter these beings who blaspheme the Gaiding Clan again, you can call for my arrival."
After being insulted, he had secretly become ruthless. Since he had already become enemies with the other party, he didn't mind offending him even more.
Even this is not the end, he also has to report the matter to the Lion-Headed Prince and the Five Lords of Gadin. Seth created those celestial creatures that disgusted him, wasn't this also a contempt and provocation to the Gadin celestial race?
Levi naturally agreed at the first opportunity, although for the time being it seemed that the other party would only appear when fighting against Seth's younger brothers.
But with this relationship, there is no guarantee that things will change in the future.
Unfortunately, when he tried to test the other party about the power of the Storm of Revenge, Soslan just smiled and did not answer.
Levi simply gave up. It was obvious that the relationship between the two parties had not reached that point yet.
But at least the other party did not explicitly refuse, which means there is still a possibility in the future.
After signing the contract, Levi discovered that when he summoned the other party, just like Cindy summoned her father, there was a 7-day cooling time and it also required a large amount of gold coins as a cost.
But despite this, at critical moments, the opponent can also serve as a powerful killer, such as just now.
Then he also gave the other party some Death Guards as a gift and souvenir.
Speaking of which, the Death Guards and the Gaiding Clan are quite similar in appearance, both of them have both human form and beast characteristics.
Khalida also took the time to thank the other party, but Soslan just remained cool and polite.
It's not just because he felt that the two sides were of similar strength and equal status, so there was no need to be too polite.
It was also because he could clearly feel that the other person was not a real living person.
So even if she is an ally of Levi, the celestial mystic, he will not be too enthusiastic before getting to know her better, as celestial creatures have an instinctive aversion to the undead.
Levi had no idea what Khalida was thinking, because even though her golden mask was broken, it was enough to cover most of her expressions.
After seeing the other party off, Levi naturally collected soul crystals first. Then he was very pleased to find that, not only the low and medium level ones, but also with his previous accumulation, he now had enough materials to make 3 Sphinxes.
Just in this aspect, he has made a lot of money!
After putting away his things, he turned to work with Cindy and others to start exterminating the remaining undead present.
Not all undead are smart enough to run away. There are still some fools who choose to resist after Soslan displayed such power.
For such enemies, Levi would naturally send them all to death.
After making sure that there were no Ninth Volume of Nagash around, they left behind the necessary manpower to clean up the battlefield and returned to the front battlefield as soon as possible.
Although the outcome of this battle was almost foreseeable after Edward's death and the failure of the ambush, they still could not be careless until the end.
Halfway through the journey, Levi also roughly understood why Khalida chose to go on the adventure alone when the two armies were facing each other.
In addition to being driven by hatred, it was also because Visharon's previous conspiracy had left some sequelae on her and disturbed part of her thinking.
It is estimated that after the failure of the Viper Queen, Visharoon planned to find a suitable opportunity to plot against her again.
Edward used the power left by Nagash again, and somehow, a strange reaction occurred between the two.
The final result was that Visharon's back-up plan completely failed, she lost her mind for a moment, and was eventually severely injured by the opponent.
Then Seth got the news from somewhere and wanted to take advantage of the situation to deal with her and the Silver Blood Army together.
If Levi hadn't rescued her at the critical moment, she might have really died this time.
Although due to the blessing of the gods in the past, as one of the Tomb Kings, it is possible for her to be resurrected after paying a high price, because compared to regular undead, they still have souls.
But if she fell into the hands of the Silver Blood Army or Seth, how could the other party give her this opportunity?
But she hasn't figured out yet how she should repay this life-saving favor.
Levi was not in a hurry, because he felt that in addition to the other party's divinity, there were still many good things in the city of Lahmia.
At the very least, the solar arm armor and other equipment worn by the generals, although standard, are still very powerful.
If Zhou Miyin and others who stayed behind were equipped with this set, it would not be impossible for their combat effectiveness to double.
He simply asked, "After what you've been through, what are you going to do in the future? Set is not a god who gives up easily."
Now that the relationship has been broken, Seth will definitely continue to take new actions until he gets divinity as he wishes.
If necessary, he might even use his power to bully the weak and take action himself, because he is an evil god after all.
Gods of kindness and justice may often be constrained by their own sense of morality, but as for evil gods, most of them pay more attention to practical interests than to their face.
Khalida bit her lip, showing a rare little girl attitude.
After a brief silence, she said resolutely: "I will send the navy to support the high elves in their battle. If possible, I hope that both sides can reach a solid alliance."
"Also, Levi, after this is over, please help me introduce Goddess Lilith, how about that?"
