Volume 4 Chapter 512: Activated Lightning and God's Fall
Although the gods have left one after another, Levi and his friends' affairs are not over yet, or rather, they have just begun.
Originally, Levi and the others were still worried about how to pass through the winding and rugged underground passage full of traps of the gnolls, but Koyek directly helped them open a super passage with a diameter of more than 20 meters.
Now, let alone Levi, Elegy and others, even if Catherine returned to her original form, she could fly down directly.
But before that, they need to solve other problems.
Because there are at least two thousand big bats and more than ten thousand ogre spirits in front of them.
Under the pressure of the gods, none of them could even lift their bodies, but Levi was not sure how long this state would last, so he decided to kill them all as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Donna, Luna, Kerillian and others had already arrived with their respective troops. In addition, Elegy, Maltis, Cindy, Mortidi and others were also firing at full power, so the speed of killing the enemies was still very fast.
By the time the enemies gradually recovered, they would have been almost all killed.
Then Levi also notified Kyle and Khalida and asked them to come over as well.
The former had always been full of ambition and wanted to see the outside world, but he had no chance to participate in such a big event just now. If he was not called upon in the final stage, he might have some resentment in his heart.
As for Khalida, her troops will be needed as cannon fodder to deal with the ogres below.
During this period, Levi also gave the wings to Martis and used the reward from the God of Qilin himself.
Accompanied by faint flashes of lightning, three system prompts popped up one after another. The process was much simpler than Levi had expected.
The first one is the 4th-level magic - Thunderstorm Wall, which is somewhat similar to Cindy's Holy Glacier. Both launch attacks and try to isolate the enemy. At the same time, all enemies who try to pass through the wall made of lightning will suffer certain damage.
If it is obtained before level 10, it can be used to divide the battlefield, which is still very useful, but now it can only be said to be better than nothing.
The second one is the 7th level magic - Advanced Thunder Magic. Although the name is related to thunder and lightning, it does not kill enemies by it, but creates huge sound waves.
If the enemy's level, physical fitness and morale are not up to standard, they may be frightened, temporarily deafened, or even knocked to the ground.
How should I put it? If it is used to deal with ogres or goblins, it should be very useful, and it is entirely possible to defeat the enemy without fighting.
But if the enemy is these things, why bother with all these fancy tricks, just kill them all!
But the last one was a bit powerful. Levi even felt that his work today was not in vain just with this one thing. At the same time, he also developed a great liking for the cold Qilin God.
Although he didn't say a word, the reward he gave to Levi was more valuable than a hundred words of praise and compliments.
Animated Lightning (Epic): Casts an animation spell, Lightning, which then becomes a special, living magical artifact.
It is an extension of your consciousness rather than an independent existence. If you allow it, it can use part of your experience, knowledge, and senses to generate a certain simple consciousness that depends on you to attack the enemy.
It can spontaneously harness the power of lightning, and with each attack, it can cause damage to all enemy forces within a rectangular area of up to 1,000 meters in length and 3 meters in width.
After each attack, the animated lightning needs a certain amount of time to recharge, and the recharge time depends on the range covered by the previous attack.
You can also charge it and launch your next attack earlier by allowing it to consume your mana or elemental crystals (lightning), etc.
The alignment, life, defense, speed, magic damage caused by each attack of the animated lightning, etc., depend on your alignment, intelligence, level and expertise when casting the spell.
In addition to wielding the power of lightning, Animated Lightning also grants elemental resistance, which can increase magic resistance.
As well as the lightning conversion skill, when subjected to lightning attacks, the damage can be greatly reduced and the reduced part can be converted into temporary health and magic points for oneself.
Conventional physical attacks are ineffective against animated lightning, but it can still be harmed by magic, and special magic such as disintegrate and disintegrate may have additional effects on it.
While it is active, you cannot use the Living Lightning spell.
Casting requirements: Level 20, Intelligence 30
Casting cost: 1 high-level elemental crystal (lightning), 1000 gold coins, 3-10 minutes, total mana 1200-1800 (estimated)
Animation spells are a series of special spells that are relatively niche. Their effect is to turn certain dead objects into special living things that can be driven.
The more common ones are activated cables, which are used by some low- and mid-level wizards to deal with thieves who break into houses.
The owner may not have woken up yet, but the activated cable itself has strangled the thief to death.
Some powerful wizards have also used some mind-opening spells to transform cannons, tanks, etc. into powerful constructs.
But targeting spells is the most niche and difficult type.
As a legendary activated lightning, its difficulty and power are the best among them.
Apart from anything else, just looking at its maximum attack range, you can understand why a high-level wizard can often become an army by himself.
In comparison, the little bit of material consumed is not worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, Levi is still a little bit behind at the moment, and he needs to upgrade to the next level.
While he was expressing his feelings, Khalida, Kyle and others arrived one after another and joined in the siege of the Kobolds.
Soon, the troops that had flown out with Keoyek were almost all killed.
Levi also gradually discovered that the average strength of these ogre heroes was not as strong as he had imagined, and there was even a huge gap in strength between them.
This is understandable, because these heroes were all believers of Keoyek during their lifetime, and their strengths must have varied.
However, after killing them, the efficiency of collecting soul fragments is obviously higher.
According to conservative estimates, they alone would allow Levi to obtain materials for six or seven hundred Death Guards.
Although it was just a simple massacre, Levi and his men still took a short break after killing all the enemies within their sight.
Because it was getting late, the army without dark vision would need mages to cast spells to assist them if they wanted to continue fighting.
At the same time, after reconnaissance by shadow elements and flying troops, Levi discovered that even with the passage opened by Keoyek, it would not be easy for them to kill all the ogres inside in a short time.
Keoyek himself was indeed beaten up by the gods and taken away like a dead dog.
But after the initial panic, the ogres in the cave did not collapse. Instead, they united together and continued to resist, demonstrating extraordinary military qualities.
They are even working hard to perfect their traps, blocking some oversized caves, etc.
By observing many cross-sections of the passage and probing with a few summoned creatures, everyone soon realized that there were all kinds of traps in the underground cave that was like a honeycomb.
Traps, rockfalls, landslides, fuel traps, boxes of poison, muddy swamps, caltrops, nets, pits...
They have a variety of tricks and their power may not be particularly great, but if you really want to make your way through, it will definitely take a lot of time. After all, they are the accumulation of countless years of a demigod.
At the same time, as Keoyek was captured, Levi also discovered that more and more ogres who were originally in a dormant state began to wake up, which further strengthened their defense capabilities.
If the rewards were staggering, the trouble would be tolerable, but the kobolds were one of the notoriously poor races.
Although because the kobolds have weak dragon blood and are good at mining, they prefer to collect all kinds of shiny objects. In their dog holes, it is possible to find some raw metal mines, gem mines, etc.
But because of their intelligence, they may also collect some stones that are unique to the underground world and are useless except for emitting light, or even some glass fragments.
Overall, their collections are better than those of goblins, but they are also extremely limited.
Levi had not intended to waste too much time on them, because the most valuable loot, of course, could only be Keoyek itself.
But now he was somewhat conflicted. These dog-headed people were resisting stubbornly, probably because they still had illusions about their god, Kuoyek, and they hoped that he would come back.
But on the other hand, are there some outstanding leaders among them, or something else, that gives them the confidence to continue?
Coupled with the green dragons before and the word "Tia" shouted by Keoyek, Levi couldn't help but imagine.
If Keoyek secretly joined the Dragon Queen, Tiamat, many things would make sense.
At the beginning, Koyek was a priest who was not even a legend, but he was able to steal the wings right under Kurtulmak's nose and become a demigod, most likely with the help of Tiamat.
Apart from anything else, if there were some dragon eggs in there...
On the other hand, it was also because they had new reinforcements arriving from the dwarves who had been besieged before.
The gods' ambush was brief and secretive, so it didn't produce much sound and light effect, but the oversized kobold that Koyek transformed into was still quite eye-catching.
What's more, tens of thousands of troops were fighting there before. If the dwarves had not noticed it and taken action, they would be too slow and stupid.
After meeting the leader of the dwarves, Levi was slightly surprised to find that he was an acquaintance.
The legendary dwarf of Ironforge, Kazrik, son of the dragon slayer.
When he saw Levi, Kazrik's face showed excitement and gratitude, but also a little shame, because Levi had saved him from being trapped last time.
How long did it take for him to be rescued again?
Levi naturally knew Kazrik's feelings. In fact, all dwarves were in the same mood.
They are both concerned about face and full of pride. They would rather do favors for others than receive favors from others.
So when communicating with the other party, Levi naturally had to use some language skills.
He briefly mentioned the matter of rescue, and only emphasized that he hoped to get help from the dwarves to eliminate the kobolds entrenched below.
Both are races that live underground and have similar heights. It must be easier for dwarves to deal with kobolds.
Of course, the height of dwarves has always been a taboo, and Levi would not be stupid enough to actually say it out loud.
Kazlik immediately patted his chest and assured that the matter would be completely left to him.
Now he has a more and more favorable impression of Levi.
Most elves are arrogant and proud, so even though dwarves and elves have maintained a long-term alliance, there are still many dwarves who are somewhat disgusted with the high elves.
But Levi was an exception. All the dwarves, including him, liked dealing with Levi.
But soon after sending out several teams of scouts, Kazrik realized that Levi was not entirely out to protect the dwarves' self-esteem.
These guys are indeed not easy to deal with, especially since they are seriously short of manpower at the moment.
So even though he was very embarrassed, Kazrik still chose to be honest with Levi. Dwarves would never lie to true friends.
To be honest, Levi didn't feel surprised at all, because Kazrik, as the prince of Ironforge, now only had a little over a thousand troops with him, some of which were the troops of the dwarf gods' chosen heroes.
It is conceivable how difficult the situation is for him and Tiefeng Fort now.
So Levi also wanted to know what had happened to lead to the current situation.
Kazrik immediately said angrily: "It's those damned underground thieves. The plague they spread attracted the Nurgle demons."
"Although those guys were all killed by the joint efforts of my father, the Dragon Slayer, and the Master Ironbrow who just returned, we still paid a heavy price, and the Nurgle demons also left a stinking scar on the underground world."
"Unfortunately, the arsenal fortress of the western military fortress has already fallen, and Prince Belegar of Eight Peaks Mountain is alone and struggling to hold on under the threat of the greenskin and rat army. At this critical moment, we can do nothing..."
It can be seen that Kazrik truly regarded Levi as a friend, and even told Levi all these confidential information.
The Army Fort was the throat of the Dwarves. Now that it was occupied by the Greenskins, the hometown of the Dwarf High King further north, the capital of all Dwarves - Karaz-a-Karak, would be undefended.
Although each mountain kingdom of the dwarves has its own king, the High King still has an extremely special status. The greenskins certainly know this, so a series of wars will surely take place there next.
At the same time, when the Arsenal Fort was occupied, the Sea Gate to its southwest would also lose the assistance from the High King, and the dwarves' only port city would inevitably be under severe threat.
Although the dwarves basically have no use for the navy, whether it can be used or not is completely different from whether it exists or not.
Now it depends on whether the humans west of the Junku Castle and the wood elves hiding in the dark forest will choose to take action.
But Levi felt that hope was very slim, because the human force over there was called the Border Prince Federation, also known as the Border Prince Territory.
When it comes to federations, you should know that they are very loose in nature.
The border princely territories are no exception. Like Araby and other places, they are composed of many small forces, and are even more vicious.
After all, Arabia once had a long culture and history, and was once unified.
But the Border Prince Territory was actually originally established by political or religious refugees from many human kingdoms such as the Sigmar Empire and the Knight Kingdom of Battor. It was originally a place of exile.
Later, in order to strengthen their own power, these ambitious exiles recruited all kinds of robbers, mercenaries, pirates and other criminals.
Naturally, it eventually became a paradise for many evil gods.
They are very good at robbing and killing, but it is really too much to expect them to rescue the dwarves. It is good enough that they don't take advantage of the situation to rob.
Further west, across the Blackfire Pass, is the border town of Averland of the Sigmar Empire.
Under normal circumstances, if the dwarves are in trouble, the Sigmar Empire is very willing to lend a helping hand, because everyone knows that the kindness shown to the dwarves will never be wasted.
But now the Sigma Empire is caught up in the war caused by ratmen and beastmen, and it is unable to take care of itself. It is almost impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
As for the wood elves in the Dark Forest over there, according to the information currently known, they call themselves the "Loik Masquerade".
As the name suggests, they believe in the weaker power among the elven gods, the Shadow Dancer - Loic.
Their most famous troops are the various war dancers, and like the dirges, they are also very pleasing to watch when they fight.
But they also have a shortcoming because of this, which is that they almost completely abandoned long-range troops.
Under such circumstances, it is completely unrealistic to expect them to run out of the forest and fight against the overwhelming greenskin army.
Outstanding warriors, in terms of efficiency in killing the enemy, may not be inferior to archers, but it is difficult for them to ensure combat casualties.
What's more, they had no friendship with the dwarves, and they probably just hunted some greenskins who broke into the forest.
As for Kazrik himself, he originally planned to transport some cannons and catapults to support Prince Belegar.
As a result, whether intentionally or by negligence, a chosen hero leaked information, his war equipment was either destroyed or seized, and he was surrounded by the greenskins.
After hearing this information, Levi pondered for a moment: "You help me to eliminate the kobolds here. In return, Khalida and I will go to Eight Peaks Mountain for you to support Prince Belegar. How about that?"
The reason why he launched this expedition in the first place was for the Nine Volumes of Nagash in the treasure house of Eight Peaks Mountain. Now the opportunity to enter is right in front of him.
Kazrik was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately turned red with emotion. If it weren't for maintaining etiquette, he would probably have cried out loud on the spot.
Killing the Kobolds was originally his way of repaying Levi for saving his life, but he didn't expect it to be counted this way? What a good elf!
Although this favor was so great, so great that he couldn't think of how to repay it for a moment, the war on Bafeng Mountain was indeed too urgent, and he was completely unable to refuse Levi's proposal.
So Kazrik could only nod vigorously: "Okay, Levi, I accept your proposal, but please remember that I, the prince of Iron Peak Castle - Kazrik, will definitely repay you for this favor!"
Levi smiled and didn't respond. The dwarves still had a lot of good things, especially Thorak Ironbrow of Ironforge, who was a legendary rune blacksmith and was well-known throughout the main world.
Since Kazrik has made such a promise, all he has to do is wait.
But he did not leave the task of clearing out the ogres entirely to the other side. Kazrik's troops were still too small. God knew how much time it would take him to completely clean up this super dog hole.
Moreover, Kazrik has a chosen hero under his command. If there really is a dragon egg in the dog hole, there is a possibility that the other party will be tempted by the money.
So after a brief discussion with Khalida, she finally decided to leave ten heroes to lead ten thousand mummies and skeleton soldiers for the dwarves to command, and try to kill all the ogres as soon as possible to see if there was anything that Levi was interested in among them.
Next are the Graveyard Knights and Jackal-type Guardians of the Gods, numbering one thousand each, acting as scouts, supervisors, and so on.
As for how many helpers Kazrik can find on his own, Levi and Khalida have no control over it.
However, he suggested that the other party could try to find some dwarves. As a feud, dwarves would normally only passively counterattack against the kobolds.
Because the dwarves' combat effectiveness is not that good, the entire race mainly produces thieves and illusionists, there are almost no warriors who can hold the line, and the population is far worse than that of the kobolds.
So usually, regardless of victory or defeat, the dwarves have to pay a high price. Over time, they become more and more afraid of fighting.
But now tens of thousands of ogres are blocked here, with the dwarves and Khalida's troops as the main force. I believe that as long as the leader of the other side is not a fool, he will definitely come to participate.
At this moment, a system announcement popped up: "The God of Hatred and Revenge of the Nipon Pantheon - Tianjin Wolf Star, successfully killed the God of Swords and Lightning - Jingjin Master."
"The kingdom of Jingjin Lord collapsed completely, and Tianjin Langxing successfully seized Jingjin Lord's divine position - the sword, as well as a small part of the fragments of the godhead, divine power, and divinity, etc."
"The divine duty of the King of Tsuna, lightning, was completely shattered and scattered across the worlds."
"Due to the special features of the master himself, his remains transformed into the divine sword, Butsu-myouhun, and then disappeared without a trace."
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but frown slightly. He had known for a long time that Tianjin Wolf Star would not stop, but he never expected that the other party would make such a big move so quickly.
Although the godhood level of Jingjinzhu is relatively low, only 3, this is only because he is relatively young among the gods. When he was born, the faith of Nibon had been almost divided.
In fact, he still has great potential, because swords and spears are the two , and are deeply loved by Nipon warriors.
The god of swords, Kizuna, is naturally revered by the samurai.
If Tsunade tries hard enough, he may later use this as a springboard to move towards fighting, war, killing or death.
Therefore, he was accepted as a subordinate god by Amaterasu, the leader of the three noble sons of Nibon, at an early stage, because Amaterasu also saw his potential.
Now that Tianjin Langxing has killed Jingjinzhu, it not only proves his strength, but also shows his attitude to all the gods:
He is not afraid of Amaterasu's threat and dares to launch the most direct and fierce attack on Amaterasu!
In this case, many of the Nebon gods may have their own thoughts.
After all, in the past, Amaterasu was the only one in power, and even the other two of the three noble sons were severely oppressed by her. There must be many gods who were dissatisfied with her.
Before, no one could defeat Amaterasu, so they could only endure it, but now that Tianjin Wolfstar has stood up, the situation has become different.
Nibon highly values the subjugation of the superiors. The superiors must always be vigilant against the betrayal of the ambitious inferiors, whether they are mortals or gods.
This is also a troublesome thing for Levi, because Tianjin Wolf Star has a younger brother named Ashiya Doman, who is his enemy.
Originally, Levi thought that with Abe Haruaki around, Ashiya Doman would not come to cause trouble for him.
But now it seems that if Tianjin Wolf Star continues to grow stronger, Ashiya Doman will surely rise with it, and Abe Haruaki may not be able to protect him...
After thinking for a long time, Levi still couldn't find any convenient and quick way to deal with Ashiya Doman.
After all, that old guy is also a legendary Onmyoji with rich combat experience. Nipeng is so far away from here, no one knows where he usually appears...
While I was thinking about it, another system prompt popped up.
"Illidan Stormrage, the god of fear and vengeance of the elven pantheon, worked with Saranata, the goddess of the Feathered Tribe of the Cathay Pantheon, to successfully kill Koyek, the demigod of the Kobold pantheon."
"The priesthood of Keoyek - the bat-winged kobolds, was completely shattered and scattered across the worlds."
Compared to the previous message, this announcement is much shorter, because neither Illidan nor Saranata cares about K'oyek's priesthood, and there is nothing else about him that is worth paying too much attention to.
His influence among the gods is obviously much lower, because Keoyek himself is at the lowest level among the gods.
Aside from the associated Kobold God Kurtulmak and Dragon Queen Tiamat, not many gods really care.
At most, they were just a little curious as to why these two gods would join forces to fight the enemy.
Perhaps this is exactly Lilith's purpose, she doesn't want to attract too much attention.
But for Levi, this is a very good thing.
Because with the death of Keoyek, he received a large amount of experience points. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for him to reach level 20.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Lilith, she might send the reward to him overnight!
