Volume 4 Chapter 472: The End of Malus?
Seeing Lunala in her new state, passing through the fighting troops like the wind and heading straight for Malus, Levi and the Messenger of Mercy looked at each other in bewilderment.
But soon the Messenger of Mercy was the first to react: "Levi, she has the power of the evil god in her body!"
I know, didn’t you just say that?
Levi complained secretly, but he immediately realized that the other party might be referring to more than that.
He suddenly became a little excited: "You mean, the divinity of Nurgle?"
“That’s right!”
By this time, Lunala had easily passed the Lizardmen forces and launched a surprise attack on Malus with a dexterity that was completely unworthy of Nurgle.
But of course this had no effect, as Malus defeated her with a few sword strikes.
Even if she was strengthened, Malus was much stronger than her, and after being possessed by the Slaanesh demon, he was strengthened even more.
But even though he was not physically hurt, Malus couldn't help but cover his head in pain: "Lu, Lunala, aren't you dead?"
"Yes, I was killed by your own hands, a devil like you!"
Malus's expression suddenly changed again: "Hahaha, this is really rare. I rarely have the experience of killing the same person multiple times. Elf, perhaps you can satisfy me?"
As he spoke, Malus suddenly launched a fierce attack on Lunala, even ignoring Kuga behind him for a moment.
But Kuga certainly didn't want to be looked down upon. He drove the Tyrannosaurus forward again, and he even wanted to kill Lunala as well.
Anyway, it makes no difference to him whether the opponent is a dark elf or a Nurgle demon.
So for a while, the three of them fought in a group. Although Kuga was still silent, Lunala and Malus kept talking while fighting.
This also allowed outsiders such as Levi to quickly understand the truth of the matter.
In short, Malus used the power of the devil to fight against Kuga and others, and then accidentally lost control.
Before killing the enemy, Lunala, who had finally managed to run back, was killed first.
Now that Lunala has gained the power of the demon Nurgle, she naturally seeks revenge on her old lover first.
Malus was influenced by the power of the devil, and not only did he not feel any guilt about it, but he seemed quite proud of what he had done.
This of course only made Lunala even angrier, so they fought with all their might, without holding back at all.
But logically speaking, even if Lunala was transformed by the demon of Nurgle, she would never be a match for Malus.
But perhaps it was Nurgle's divinity that gave her supernatural recovery abilities, even far surpassing those of the Great Unclean Ones. This resulted in her being able to recover almost in the blink of an eye even if she was slashed by Malus's sword.
In addition, the lizardmen such as Kuga next to him were also eyeing him covetously, which made Malus gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Although Kuga was thinking about killing them both, as an excellent warrior, he would of course take advantage of the opportunities created for him by Lunala, and the two sides reached a kind of cooperation in disguise.
This true drama of love and hate was very exciting for Levi and others to watch.
However, the unclean ones on the other side were in a rather bad mood.
Even though they created Lunara, they had no intention of using her to reverse the situation.
But she had wasted these precious things on them because she wanted them to spread the glory of the loving father, not to fight desperately with a half-demon blessed by Slaanesh.
Especially with the presence of some abominable celestial creatures nearby!
Unfortunately, no one knew whether they had made some mistake in the transformation ritual or Lunala's willpower was truly extraordinary, she simply ignored their orders or scoldings and focused on fighting with Malus.
And for Levi and others, this may be the most ideal situation.
So they seized the time and killed another Great Unclean One in front of them. Then, since there were no enemies in front of them for the time being, they also helped Elegy and others to deal with all the Nurgle demons on the other side.
Just as Levi was about to turn around and deal with Malus, a curious male voice suddenly came from the Demon Hunter's token on his body.
"Levi, I feel like most of my token has been used?"
Levi thought for a moment and realized that what Illidan really cared about was not how fast he used it, but whether his token was wasted.
But this might be an opportunity for him. He was originally worrying about how to deal with the demon in Malus!
So he quickly told Illidan about his current situation and said he would give him some small gifts.
Four big unclean ones have been captured at once today, and he has no place to use so many things.
The token of the last Slaanesh God and the Keeper of Secrets has not been found yet.
Even though Illidan had a rather cold personality, he was still very satisfied with Levi's gift.
His church is in its infancy and he is extremely busy every day. It would be much better if he could create a few powerful demon hunters to help him share the burden.
"Great Unclean Ones? If it's them, it'll be a little troublesome, but after dealing with them, they will indeed be much more powerful than ordinary demons."
Illidan first agreed with Levi's opinion, but then he said uncertainly: "But Malus, I don't know if I can remove the demon from him, because I don't know how big the gap in strength between us is."
He was very frank and said frankly that he was not absolutely sure.
Normally, a demon lord is basically comparable to a demigod when he is in his own level of the Abyss.
The Slaanesh demon that now possesses Malus will definitely be less powerful after coming to the main world.
But he has lived with Malus for many years, and it has only been a short time since Illidan recovered to be a demigod, so he is really not sure.
"Then if we weaken his strength through continuous fighting, can we increase the success rate?"
Levi had said this, so Illidan naturally would not refuse: "You can try. When you think the time is right, send me a signal."
"Okay, thank God!"
"Don't worry, Levi. Whether I succeed or fail, I will not treat you unfairly. I have found a suitable person for you and will not disgrace the token in your hand."
"However, there seems to be a more suitable candidate on Fear Rock..."
With an inexplicable meaning, Illidan cut off communication, and Levi always felt that he seemed to have some bad intentions.
Not to himself, but to Malus.
Hmm, the person Illidan was talking about, could it be...
After Levi and his men had dealt with these things, they looked back and found that the situation on the battlefield had changed again.
I don't know what Kuga said or did, or whether Malus and Lunala rekindled their old relationship, but in any case, Kuga was being beaten by mixed doubles.
He was already injured and was currently losing ground.
The remaining Great Unclean Ones and Nurgle demons probably also hope to eliminate one enemy first, so they are also launching a full-scale attack on the Lizardmen.
At the same time, about two hundred elite dark elves emerged from the originally silent town. Led by a hero with a big sword in one hand and a huge shield in the other, they launched an attack from the side.
According to intelligence, the opponent should be Malus's guard captain - Hillal, a powerful warrior close to the legendary level, much stronger than the original Lunala.
With Kuga unable to attack, the Lizardmen had no means to resist him.
No one knows why he, who had been hiding before, suddenly decided to join the war now, but in general, the current battle situation is indeed very unfavorable for the Lizardmen.
But for Levi, this was a godsend.
So without any hesitation or attempt to communicate with Kuga, he joined the battlefield with the Messenger of Mercy, Elegy, Cindy and others, as well as Fei Shi's troops.
Rather than saying anything, the Lizardmen are more inclined to watch what others do. As long as Levi helps them now, they will definitely appreciate it!
As a result, the battlefield where multiple parties were fighting seemed to become more and more chaotic.
But in fact, everyone has their own different goals. Levi mainly wants to kill the Nurgle demons and capture more Great Unclean Ones.
Since he needed to purify those innocent people, he basically wouldn't get any experience points in this battle, so he naturally had to find a way to make up for it in other ways.
Although the Great Unclean Ones fought desperately, they soon became his prey.
Elegy also started attacking the dark elves together with Maltis, Cindy and others.
Although Levi did not let Elegy use the Scourge of the Elven Traitors in order to avoid arousing Malus's hostility, with their current strength, it is still very easy for them to deal with ordinary dark elves.
At this time, Hillal on the other side also approached Malus, and then in full view of everyone, everyone saw Malus suddenly launched an attack from the side, piercing Lunala with a sword, and then kicked her out.
At the same time, he did not forget to taunt: "Fool, do you really think that relying on so-called love, you can make a Slaanesh demon willingly tolerate a disgusting Nurgle demon?"
"Under hatred, everything is allowed!"
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but twitch their lips for a moment.
Even though it seems that Malus is now controlled by the devil, this is probably not his intention, but Lunala, who has suffered such betrayal again, is afraid that she can only fight him to the death.
However, in Levi's opinion, the demon that controls Malus is still not smart enough, because the battle is far from over.
What do you think of the Messenger of Mercy and Khalida? Air?
“Levi…”
Without even looking back, Levi knew that Elegy, who was now gritting his teeth, must be very eager to kill Malus.
If it weren't for his final sword, this would have been a rather sad love story.
It’s a pity that he destroyed all this beauty. Maybe this is the nature of the devil?
But the only one who could be more angry than Elegy was Lunala, the person involved.
Driven by boundless rage, she abandoned all defenses and just launched a strong attack on the opponent.
"Marus, I want you dead!"
But her anger was not enough to change the situation of the battle, and Malus still found it easy to deal with her.
He even seemed to be intent on hurting her, avoiding some relatively fatal parts just to leave more wounds on her body.
Not only Levi and Kuga noticed this, but even the captain of Malus's guard, Hillal, noticed it.
This made him feel quite complicated.
He originally thought that Malus could control the power of the devil, but now it seems that this is not the case.
He was well aware of the close relationship between Malus and Lunala. If Malus could treat her like this, how cruel would it be to treat someone else, such as himself?
He ignored the safety of the town and risked his life to gather his last strength to reinforce the enemy. Was this really the right choice?
This time, Malus seems to be different from before. He seems to be completely controlled by the devil!
But regardless of their mood, the fight continues.
Levi and the Messenger of Mercy looked at each other and joined the battle. Their first target was still the remaining Nurgle demons.
But no one knew what Hillal was thinking. He gave up supporting Malus and instead began to intercept the Messenger of Mercy.
Of course Levi couldn't indulge him, no matter what purpose the other party had in making such a decision.
But he will soon realize how wrong this decision is!
The Messenger of Mercy wielded his flaming sword to its full potential, and Khalida also summoned a sky full of poisonous yellow sand.
Their attacks are not very useful against Nurgle demons, but they are very powerful against Dark Elves.
In addition, Elegy and Martis also took action, so after just a few encounters, most of the troops brought by Hillary were lost.
Upon seeing this, Malus immediately scolded Hilal without any hesitation: "Fool, you really wasted all this blood!"
Then, without waiting for Levi and the others to continue their attack, he raised his hand and summoned a large amount of pink and purple magical energy filled with ambiguous light.
But the target is not Levi and others, but the surviving dark elves.
Hillary's eyes suddenly turned red with anger, because he had already guessed what the other party was going to do.
But it was too late. In less than two seconds, Malus had completed a powerful spell. All the selected dark elves instantly stopped all movements and fell to the ground.
Because all the blood in their bodies had been drained out, a blood storm formed in the air.
"A bloody era is about to come. Submit to my God-honored Secret Keeper - Zhakan, and submit to the great Prince of Pleasure - Slaanesh!"
As he shouted, a blood storm suddenly exploded. Lunala and Kuga, who were about to step forward to attack, were both seriously injured in an instant and were blown away for an unknown distance.
As for the surrounding lizardman warriors and Feishi's fishman troops, they suffered heavy losses.
But Elegy, Martis and others who were a little further away were all safe and sound.
Levi, the Messenger of Mercy and others were not affected at all. Instead, they took the initiative to launch attacks at the first opportunity.
Because everyone has long seen that Malus, no, now it should be said that the Slaanesh demon - Zarkan, is indeed very powerful, but he has enemies everywhere, and it is impossible for him to fight against so many strong men at the same time.
He was obviously not a fool, so he couldn't just stay here and die.
His biggest possibility is to find an opportunity, use a big move, temporarily avoid the enemy, and then start to run away.
For example, now!
The Messenger of Mercy waved his hand and slashed out several brilliant flaming sword auras, while at the same time releasing the Shield of Order that had been prepared long ago.
This move was originally used for defense, but if he changed his thinking, he could also use it to stop powerful evil beings.
Khalida released a cloud of yellow sand, not to kill the enemy but to trap them.
As a warrior queen, she is not only good at using spears and bows, she is also very good at controlling the yellow sand.
At the same time, the Dragon Head God Envoy, Dragon Cloud Elemental, and high-level Red Flame Envoy, who had been prepared for a long time, also took action and forcibly kept Zakan.
Levi also released the Hammer of Justice, which was sure to hit, but this time it was clear how powerful Zhakan was, as his hammer only caused less than 30 points of damage.
If converted into magic resistance, I'm afraid ordinary 6th-level magic won't be able to cause any damage to him.
But it doesn't matter, he is not the main force in this battle. The Messenger of Mercy and his men have been patient for too long, not to mention that Illidan is there to back them up, so of course they have to go all out!
Zakan was almost stunned by the series of attacks. He didn't understand why this scene was completely different from what he had expected?
He has clearly demonstrated such powerful strength, why are the opponents not only not afraid at all, but instead each one is braver than the other?
And how could this birdman with wings on his back and disgusting light energy be so powerful?
But no matter how confused he was in his heart or how he cursed, the battle still went beyond his will. After being besieged, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
He seemed majestic and invincible before, but what supported him was a huge amount of energy.
After fighting for such a long time, he had consumed too much energy and was actually much weaker than he looked.
Soon Kuga and Lunala also returned and joined the battle tacitly.
Although everyone's races and camps are different, they now all have a common goal, which is to defeat or even kill Zakan!
Apart from this, all other hatreds can be put aside temporarily.
Seeing this, the captain of Malus's guard was a little hesitant, unsure whether he should join the battle.
On the surface, the other party looked like his lord Malus, but when he opened his mouth he called himself the demon Zakan. Even he didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, at Levi's instruction, Elegy, Martis and Cindy came to him together, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Feishi led the murloc troops to continue encircling and suppressing the remaining Nurgle demons, but at this time, no one would pay much attention to them.
However, even under siege, Zakan still demonstrated extraordinary strength, or the ability to withstand blows. Levi even felt that in his prime, he could potentially challenge the Messenger of Mercy.
Of course, it is only a possibility. In reality, there is still a clear gap between the two sides.
As a veteran legend from the Seventh Heaven Mountain, the Messenger of Mercy is far more powerful than the legends say, and is clearly superior to anyone present.
So as the battle continued, Zhakan, who was under siege, had less and less space to move around, and he suffered more and more wounds on his body.
His self-healing is not without cost, it requires a lot of energy support.
As his injuries became more serious, his movements gradually became slower, especially when he saw Lunala, his expression became a little dazed.
Levi immediately understood that when Zakan became weak, the soul of Malus in his body began to gradually gain the upper hand.
After being hit by the flaming sword energy of the Mercy Messenger, Zhakan finally couldn't help but cover his forehead: "Damn it, you idiot, you actually tried to snatch control of my body from me at this time, aren't you afraid of death?"
His expression changed again: "Even death cannot take away my will!"
"Oh, really?"
Looking at the enemy who was asking and answering his own questions, Lunala stabbed him in the heart without hesitation.
Kuga also swept towards the opponent's thigh. He was 100% sure that as long as he took the attack head-on, the opponent would be seriously injured.
Under normal circumstances, both Zakan and Malus are capable of dodge attacks of this magnitude.
But looking at the deep hatred in Lunala's eyes, Malus controlled his body and endured the attack.
Then he was pierced through the heart by a sword, and blood mixed with a large number of internal organs flew out.
Such injuries could not be completely ignored even for a pure-blooded demon, not to mention that he was just a dark elf who borrowed the power of the demon.
But he dodged Kuga's attack, as if he was only willing to take Lunala's attack.
Levi felt that at this point, if Malus didn't say a few affectionate words of confession, this matter would probably not end.
Lunala seemed to sense something as well, and she gradually slowed down her attack speed.
It’s a pity that Levi won’t give them this opportunity. This is a battlefield, not a place for you to talk about love!
The Messenger of Mercy even looked directly at Levi, intending to ask questions.
Levi nodded slightly, indicating that he had taken action.
The next moment, without any warning, two crescent-shaped blades appeared out of thin air and cut off Malus' arms cleanly.
Then the two blades crossed, and all of Malus's movements stopped instantly. A bloody head flew several meters and landed right in front of Lunala.
After doing all this, Illidan, who looked even more like a demon than Malus, appeared with horns on his head, a bare upper body covered with strange tattoos, and hooves burning with flames under his calves.
He quickly took out the Demon Hunter's token and covered Malus' heart with it. With a scream full of fear, he put the token away with satisfaction.
Kuga and the others might still be amazed at the strength of the attacker, but Levi couldn't help grinning.
A dignified demigod, attacking a legend who had been under siege for half a day and was already seriously injured, and even using a sneak attack...
Anyone who becomes Illidan's enemy is truly unfortunate, because he does not particularly care about the honor or face of God.
But if he becomes an ally, such an Illidan will undoubtedly be extremely reliable.
After a brief moment of shock, Lunala went berserk. She completely ignored the difference in strength and rushed towards Illidan, waving her sword. "Ah, damn it, how could you..."
But Illidan didn't care at all. He didn't even use his weapon. He just slapped her and knocked her out.
Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed out two points of light from her body that were familiar to Levi - they were divinity.
After doing all this, he looked at Levi with a smile for the first time.
Levi immediately understood that his previous speculation was correct. The person Illidan thought was the most suitable candidate to become a demon hunter on Terror Rock was actually Lunara.
But this gave him a bit of a headache. How could he convince such a dark elf with a complicated experience to work for him?
Moreover, Lunala had just accepted the power of Nurgle, and now he had to use the power from the demon of Slaanesh for her so that she could transform into a demon hunter? This was too dramatic...
But he couldn't blame Illidan, because Illidan had only said that he would find the most suitable candidate, but did not say that he would be responsible for the recruitment.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Illidan stretched out his hands and rubbed his divinity as if to purify it.
At the same time, he restrained his smile and said in a cold voice: "He is not dead yet. The demon used some special power to try to escape."
"He failed, but the soul and some of the power of that dark elf escaped, and they will most likely be reborn somewhere."
For many powerful beings, resurrection is not particularly difficult. After all, resurrection is theoretically only a 5th-level divine art.
"His power will be greatly reduced in a short period of time unless someone gives him a new, equally powerful demon."
Levi was immediately cheered up. If that was the case, then he was indeed confident about recruiting Lunala.
Judging from Lunala's appearance, she obviously intends to take revenge on Malus and the demon Zarkan herself.
But with her own strength, theoretically this possibility is infinitely close to zero.
She had always been beside Malus as his adjutant and bed partner. She was also once the commander of the Black Ark, but her personal combat capability was just so-so.
In this situation, if I could give her a chance, even if there is serious conflict between our camps and races, there should be a high probability that she would choose to accept it, right?
Compared to high elves, dark elves worship strength more and their racial prejudice may be slightly weaker.
As for the fact that Malus had become weak, how would she know unless her own people told her?
It won’t be too late to tell her after she officially pledges allegiance to me, and we’ve fought side by side for a while and gradually developed feelings for each other.
At this time, as the divinity was stripped away, the armor on Lunala's body began to dissipate rapidly like snow under the sun.
Levi threw a piece of clothing over and motioned for Wange to take care of her first.
He had no interest in Lunala's naked body, because no matter what, she could not compare to Elegy, and there was nothing to see.
But Elegy was somewhat surprised to find that the other person's body began to shrink. In just a few seconds, she changed from an adult woman to a young girl who looked not much older than Cindy.
Levi soon noticed this, but fortunately there was no change afterwards, otherwise he would really be afraid that he would employ child labor.
Without much thought, Levi handed over all the previously sealed Great Unclean Ones to Illidan.
Illidan obviously intended to give him the divinity, so he should return the favor.
Illidan did not refuse. He just threw the two purified divinity to him and told him that if there was a similar situation next time and he was free, they could cooperate again.
The demon hunter needs a large number of high-quality demons, but he is busy with various affairs and it is difficult for him to find time to hunt demons specifically. It just so happens that Levi can encounter demons almost everywhere he goes, so they hit it off.
After hearing this, Levi didn't know what expression to use, so he could only smile.
After nodding to the Messenger of Mercy, Illidan left.
As for Kuga, Kalida and others next to him, he saw them, but he didn't care much, because the other party's strength was not enough for him to pay attention to, and they had nothing to do with each other, so he was too lazy to deal with them.
After Illidan left, the battle on the Elegy side also ended, and the captain of Malus's guard also turned into a corpse.
Even if the Messenger of Mercy did not take action, it would not be difficult for them to work together to deal with a warrior who was not yet a legendary figure.
At this time, Kuja finally spoke: "Levi, if you can retake Dreadrock, kill all the dark elves inside, and purify the filth of Nurgle's demons, then Dreadrock will be yours."
Looking at the flickering light on his suspected fractured left claw, Levi knew that he must have just communicated with his boss, Mazda, and Lord Kroka.
After all, Kuga cannot make the decision on such a big matter by himself.
Levi nodded very seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will restore the Fear Rock to its original state. Please express my gratitude to the two masters for me."
Kuga nodded and said nothing more. He just commanded the remaining lizardman troops to walk into a portal that had just been opened.
In addition to the enemies here, sporadic demons and ratmen have recently appeared on the continent of Lustria, and he still has many enemies to hunt.
Looking at their backs, Levi was thoughtful. Mazda might have seen it all from beginning to end, but the battle was so urgent that even Kuja was seriously injured, but he still did not choose to take action.
Is he really that lazy, or is he actually delayed by other things?
At this time, on the other side, Fei Shi, after paying a certain price, finally killed all the Nurgle demons.
Although he was unable to participate in the real battle, his trip was not in vain.
Looking at the still unconscious Lunala and the bodies of Malus and Hilal on the ground, Levi's sight gradually shifted to the town ahead.
The three most important figures of the dark elves here have now met with this fate. What enemies ahead can resist them?
At this time, the Messenger of Mercy next to him also understood what he meant. Since he had nothing to do for the time being, he might as well help Levi.
"Levi, come on, I'll give you a hand!"
"Haha, thank you very much, sir!"
At the same time, on a very inconspicuous island hundreds of miles away from the Fear Rock, Malus was reborn in a cave.
Because he was stripped of the Slaanesh demon, Zha'kan, he is now very clear-headed, but also very weak, and at the same time very confused.
He even didn't know what to do next for a moment.
His talent is indeed outstanding, but his greatest source of strength is still Zhakan.
Now that he had lost its power and was alone, it was extremely difficult for him to even return to his old nest thousands of miles away.
And even if he returned to his old lair, after losing his overseas colonies, the Black Ark, and the power of Zhakan, how many of his ambitious subordinates would truly submit to him?
As for revenge, whether it was K'jak, the Messenger of Mercy, or Illidan, none of them were people he could afford to provoke now.
He even had some doubts. He was not absolutely sure about Khalida and the God-chosen hero - Levi.
This road to revenge is long and hopeless.
And Lunala...
Damn it, he could always control Zhakan's power perfectly, why did he lose control so badly this time?
Although she seemed to be resurrected, they obviously couldn't go back to the past.
Just when Malus was feeling somewhat self-pitying, the entire cave was silently covered by a shadow as solid as a solid object.
"Look what I found, a poor wretch hanging about because of failure?"
Marus was startled, but before he could do anything, he found that he could do nothing.
He immediately understood that after his resurrection, his body had been controlled by the other party.
But this shouldn't be the case. Only he and Zhakan knew about this resurrection point. He didn't even tell Lunala. This was a secret hidden deep in his memory...
Just when he was full of doubts, he was shocked again, because this special shadow was not the first time he had seen it.
He had seen a similar scene before when he was looting Orbion. Some druids who called themselves "Dark Messengers" had summoned this kind of power, but he easily crushed it.
But now it seems that it was just an illusion.
At that time, the other party had already sneaked into his soul and body, and even Zhakan was unable to detect it.
Does this mean that the other party is even more powerful than Zakan?
"Who are you?" Malus asked in a slightly dry voice.
"Haha, poor creature, I am the great King of Shadows, and the only one who can save you now."
"I can grant you a more powerful demon, but at the cost of you becoming my 'Dark Messenger' and spreading my glory."
Saying this, the being who called himself the King of Shadows infused some of his power into Malus, allowing him to briefly experience the power, and then he immediately took it away.
Marus suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Nothing could make him more painful than gaining and then losing.
And although some details were still unclear, he knew that if the other party had already set his sights on him when he was on Albian Island, then he actually didn't have much choice.
So after a brief thought, he made a firm decision: "Okay, I am willing to be your dark messenger. What should I do next?"
"Hehe, kneel down, and call me Master!"
