Volume 4 Chapter 549: Return of the Shadowless Hunter
Here, the picture stops abruptly.
But Levi could roughly guess what happened later. The Naga goddess was not killed by Bilak. She most likely died voluntarily. Some of her relics were obtained by Bilak and supported Bilak in doing a series of things afterwards.
As for the reason why the Naga goddess voluntarily went to die, Levi felt that it was most likely related to the Four Gods of Chaos, but he didn't know how much effect her death would have.
Unfortunately, the black-robed man who should still be alive is too mysterious. Without more information, Levi doesn’t even know whether he is a god or not.
As for the Twin Serpents of Creation, Levi had heard of them. They had created some small alien dimensions and had also created intelligent life forms such as humans. They were probably powerful beings at the level of divine powers.
But their stories and their world have long disappeared in the long river of time. Unexpectedly, the Naga Goddess is actually their descendant.
In this case, perhaps the background of this goddess is not that simple.
In the main world, the Naga Goddess always appears in the form of a young girl, but in the memory just now, Levi also saw the faces of a woman and an old woman. Does this represent some special power that she possesses?
At this moment, Seleket's slightly worried voice came from behind: "Levi, are you okay?"
She had not taken any action until now, just acting as the last insurance, but now that Levi was stunned for a while, she felt that it was necessary to do something.
Compared to external wounds on the body, attacks on the soul are often more difficult to defend against and more harmful.
Although Levi felt that he could still hold on, he still chose to withdraw voluntarily. He knew that this information was already a huge unexpected gain, and there was no need to take any more risks.
At this time, the Messenger of Mercy happened to chopped off the Demon Prince's head with a sword and was purifying the divinity in his body. Levi also sealed him up.
This guy is indeed a fake legendary, but if he is given to Illidan, he can definitely be exchanged for a lot of resources.
Its strength is not that great, but it generously brought Levi a lot of gains.
On the other side, Donna and Cindy worked together to find the rainbow monster and killed it with force.
High-level celestial creatures generally possess the ability to become invisible or counter-invisible, so the Rainbow Terror Demon is really just showing off his skills in front of an expert.
After losing their two leaders one after another, the remaining demons were no match for the Lizardmen, so they were killed even faster this time.
But unlike the ratmen and greenskins, they seem to have no morale problems at all. Even if there is a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, they still fight bravely, although it is of no use.
As the fight went on, Levi keenly noticed that the strength of some demons seemed to have been weakened, not just because they had lost the bonus of being heroic units, but more like they themselves were getting weaker.
He was a little confused at first, until a certain demon suddenly screamed and disappeared without a trace when it was not attacked at all. Then he realized that they were actually exiled!
As evil alien beings, demons, devils, etc. need to have enough power, or some special connection, to stay in the main world.
When this connection fails, they will be forcibly exiled back to their original world.
It seems that compared with the Four Chaos Gods, Bilak still has a long way to go.
Then, as if a chain reaction had occurred, the hundreds of low-level demons remaining on the battlefield, regardless of race or strength, were exiled one after another. Within a few seconds, there were no enemies left in front of the Lizardmen.
Lord Huahua said with a little emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, Levi."
If it weren't for Levi, he would probably still be busy taming those violent dinosaurs, and it would be even more impossible for him to wipe out the demons here with almost no damage.
At this time, the messenger also came down happily: "Levi, there are a total of 2 points of divinity from the Naga Goddess, and we have purified 1 point!"
Levi was immediately shocked: "Thank you!"
Since the death of the Naga Goddess, the Naga have lost their racial god, so the sea elves, Shahua fishmen, the sea queen, and even related gods such as snake people are trying to snatch this part of the faith.
In this case, if Levi is willing to give up a bit of the divinity that truly belongs to the Naga Goddess, it will definitely help the gods in their fight for this part of faith. I believe that the Dolphin Prince will definitely be willing to pay the price for it.
As for the other point, the reason why the messenger did not take action was because divinity was a special power that contained the essence of God. If Levi was interested and provided enough resources, he might be able to resurrect the Naga Goddess with just that bit of divinity.
Although theoretically, resurrecting such a free and uncontrolled god would not benefit Levi at all, the messenger would not help Levi make the final decision.
Levi took a quick look and found that this divinity was very strange. It seemed to contain more than just the power of water.
Thinking of the three different faces of the Naga Goddess, Levi felt that it would be better to be more cautious about this matter.
The Messenger of Mercy handed over two other trophies, an 8th-level magic - Stealing Spell, which can randomly steal a 5th-7th-level magic from the opponent, and the success rate is based on the level and intelligence of both parties.
Once successful, the opponent's consumption will be doubled when using this magic. Levi can also use this magic by consuming an additional double amount of magic points, ignoring any other prerequisites.
But if this move is a unique ability of certain professions or races, or is simply bestowed by gods, such as the supply of the maiden of misfortune, then you need to be careful.
It would be fine if they just stole it, but once they were used, it would almost certainly alarm the relevant gods.
For the Tzeentch demons, they may have other specialties that can reduce the chance of alarming the gods, but for Levi, this thing is not very useful in most cases.
But the second thing is pretty good.
Spell Focus (Epic Feat): You can designate certain spells (maximum number based on your level and Intelligence) that, after being cast, cannot be dispelled but can only be temporarily suppressed.
People like the Messenger of Mercy are extremely powerful and it is basically impossible for them to be expelled back to Mount Paradise. However, the Dragon-Headed God Messenger, high-level Red Flame Messenger, various big slaps, and enhancement magic can all be dispersed by the enemy.
With this expertise, I have less worries in this regard.
Seeing this, Lord Huahua couldn't sit still anymore. The actions of these two beings seemed to be divine or something. Then his original plan to use the treasures in the valley to win Levi's help seemed unrealistic. After all, the things were still ownerless.
Perhaps, I should talk to Mazda about it?
Really, if the giant spiritual network was still intact, I could communicate telepathically with Mazda right here...
Although he had some grumblings in his mind, Lord Huahua did not appear to be impolite at all. He expressed his gratitude again and welcomed the Messenger of Mercy and the messenger. He also suggested going to the valley as soon as possible to obtain the treasures therein to avoid any further complications.
Everyone present agreed with this proposal, so they immediately took action.
The valley was filled with fog and phantoms. If it was an ordinary legend, such as the Demon Prince who had just been killed, he would probably be dizzy if he came in.
Therefore, everyone, including Levi, could see very clearly that there were many places in the valley that had been obviously damaged, which was probably the result of the efforts of the Demon Prince.
But Lord Huahua is best at shadow and fog magic, and with the Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger by his side, with the combined power of the three legends, it is not easy to crack these things, but there are indeed not many obstacles.
After all, this is most likely just the instinctive and spontaneous influence of special forces such as divinity on the surroundings.
So after spending less than two quarters of an hour, Levi and the others successfully saw the true appearance of the treasure.
In an unstable space, several treasures were suspended several meters above the ground.
First, there were two crystals as crystal-clear as snowflakes. Although they looked almost identical, Levi immediately determined that they were actually one fragment of priesthood and one fragment of godhood.
Next to it are two points of light representing divinity, and the last three slightly larger crystals are crystals of divine power. Their effects are similar to magic potions, except that they restore divine power instead of magic.
Their value is relatively much lower, but it cannot be measured by gold coins casually.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised and happy. They knew there would be treasures here, but they didn’t expect there would be so many!
Levi was even more emotional. Although he had walked a long way today, strictly speaking, he did not encounter any particularly powerful enemies, but the gains he made were unprecedentedly high.
In a sense, Bilak is really his lucky star.
The Messenger of Mercy and the Messenger both looked at Levi, and then at Lord Huahua.
The Seven Paragons of Subaru have no need for these things related to gods, they will only support Levi in obtaining them.
Lord Huahua immediately understood what they meant. While once again lamenting the close relationship between Levi and the Yakongtian Clan, he also laughed and said, "Levi, this is what you deserve."
When the time came, Levi certainly wouldn't push it back and forth. He just nodded and thanked him: "Thank you very much."
It is better to get the things first. Due to the influence of the fragments of the divine nature, the space nearby is not particularly stable. An enemy may pop out at any time.
If the enemy took away the spoils in this situation, I would be so upset that I would rather die than live.
"No, I should be thanking you."
While expressing his gratitude, Lord Huahua also began to have a headache again. In the process of obtaining the fragments of the godhead, he did not play much of a role at all, and it was far from enough to repay Levi's kindness. What method should he use to persuade Levi to help him?
A few seconds later, Levi, who had put away all his things, smiled from the bottom of his heart again. In theory, what he had gained today was enough to support a demigod.
Although the Phantom Goddess Leila's divine rank was not high, she originally possessed quite a few priesthoods, a total of four.
In the war between gods that led to her death and the destruction of her kingdom, her priesthood of illusion and deception was snatched away by the Prince of Lies, Cyric, her priesthood of mist was partially snatched away by Mask, the god of thieves, and her priesthood of phantom was completely shattered and fell into the main world along with a small amount of fragments of the godhead.
It can be said that Leila now only has some of the Mist priesthood left, so when Lilith offered her a helping hand, Leila agreed so easily. She was already in the most vulnerable stage and had no better choice.
Now the treasures Levi has obtained are undoubtedly very important to Leila.
But she was already extremely poor, and now she had sold herself to Lilith, so it was impossible for her to come up with anything that would interest Levi.
Let's just leave it to Lilith. No matter how she handles it later, it's her own business.
As soon as he looked up, Levi saw the messenger looking at him with sharp eyes. Even though he didn't say anything, Levi instantly understood what the messenger meant. He was asking him whether he should take the opportunity to prepare for deification.
Unfortunately, any being with a priesthood or godhood will no longer be able to use the Nine Volumes of Nagash, which has a huge impact.
Levi still wanted to collect all nine volumes of Nagash first to see what secrets Nagash was hiding in them.
The next step is to continuously accumulate strength. At least you have to reach Legendary level first, right?
So he chuckled and shook his head at the messenger.
Although the messenger was a little disappointed, he still expressed his understanding.
The Messenger of Mercy next to him remained calm. He nodded and gave Levi a few words of advice, telling him that if any demons appeared again, he could call on his brothers for help at any time.
Moreover, the seven role models of the Sub-Sky were also discussing how to provide Levi with greater assistance.
Considering that Levi prefers summoning the most, if nothing unexpected happens, this method should still be used, but they still need some time to really confirm it.
After the two of them said goodbye and left, Lord Huahua also prepared to take Levi to the City of Mist.
But at this moment, the surrounding space suddenly became unstable. Although there was no magical fluctuation, Levi and Lord Huahua instantly drew all their attention.
Because they all sensed an extremely evil energy aura, as if the other side of the crack led to a bottomless abyss.
Levi has already taken away the fragments of the godhead and the mist and phantoms in the valley have disappeared. Now such a strange thing is still happening. Could it be that Bilak, in his frustration, sent new demons to take revenge?
Penthesilea, Elegy and the others also became alert. Although today's battle went smoothly, if Bilak obtained the relics of the Naga Goddess, they were really not sure how powerful the other party would be.
A few minutes later, the spatial fluctuations reached their peak state. Visible black cracks, like ferocious giant mouths, spread across a large area.
Just when Levi and others were concentrating, a faint yellow light flew out from a crack, and then moved around like lightning.
Levi couldn't even be sure for a moment whether the other party was a demon or something else.
Because apart from the faint yellow light, he couldn't even see a phantom. The opponent displayed unprecedented super-high speed and flexibility.
In this situation, even Penthesilea couldn't help but look serious. If the opponent could maintain this speed, she would not even have a chance to fight back.
Even Seleket couldn't help but let out a small exclamation; she also felt a little surprised.
Just when Levi was about to make a slight prediction and then use magic to deal with the opponent, Lord Huahua was briefly stunned and then turned into ecstasy.
"By the Ancient Ones and the Stars, Oxyotham, is that you?"
His voice was not loud, but it instantly struck the other party like thunder.
The yellow light disappeared, and in its place appeared a small lizard with yellow skin, bony figure, bulging eyes and a confused face.
Apart from a few pieces of rags to cover the key parts of his body and a space ring, all he had on him was a delicate and small blowgun that seemed to be forged from gold.
At this time, Cindy next to him shook her head secretly at Levi, indicating that she did not find anything unusual.
Levi also relaxed a little. Although the other party's appearance was extremely strange, neither Cindy nor he felt any evil aura.
Moreover, Levi vaguely felt that he had seen the name mentioned by Lord Huahua somewhere, as if it was in the information that the Demon Prince had forcibly instilled in him before?
Lord Huahua was overjoyed: "Osiyotan, you are still alive, this is great!"
But the yellow lizard still had a confused look on its face, as if it didn't understand what he was saying at all. This made Lord Huahua feel something was very wrong, but he could understand it because the other party was an existence that had long been forgotten by history.
So Lord Huahua didn't say any more nonsense, but used his special ability as a magic toad to communicate with the other party through mind.
Of course, since the other party might have returned from the bottomless abyss, in order to avoid any contamination, he carefully controlled his impulse and did not read the other party's memory.
So a few seconds later, Levi and the others saw that the man named Osiyotan was obviously relaxed. He said word by word: "Osiyotan, I failed the magic toad's trust. The Lost City fell, but I killed all the demons involved."
At first he was a little uncomfortable, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, but as time went on, he became more and more fluent.
Lord Huahua was very pleased and said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work. The Ancient Saints will remember your efforts and sacrifices. Now you are home and you are safe."
Osiyotan didn't say anything more. After looking at Levi and others, he lay directly on the ground, as if hugging the earth.
Then, within a few seconds, a light snoring sound was heard.
Finally, after countless years, he can take a good rest.
While Lord Huahua was feeling extremely emotional, he also used magic to lift the other person up and placed him on his own floating chair.
Then, after carefully casting several kinds of protective magic, he briefly told Levi the story of this special spirit lizard named Osiyotan.
As a legendary ancient lizard and the strongest chameleon, Osiyotan became famous thousands of years ago. Because of his unparalleled assassination ability, he was called the "Shadowless Hunter".
During a demon invasion of his city, the Lost City of Pahans, the local magic toad Lord Pokasalan attempted to cast a powerful spell to drive the entire demon army back into the Abyss.
But the spell unexpectedly got out of control. The demon army was indeed exiled, but the entire city also fell into the bottomless abyss.
At the beginning, many magic toads, including Mazda and Lord Huahua, still had hope for this. The magic toads could escape from the magic network and cast spells to a certain extent, so perhaps they still had a chance to return.
But hundreds of years have passed and there is still no news from them. No matter how much they don't want to admit it, Osiyotan and the magic toad are probably dead in the bottomless abyss.
But unexpectedly, Osiyotan not only did not die, but instead survived tenaciously in the chaos realm, and after unremitting efforts, he killed all the demons that had participated in the war.
The demons who died in the Abyss have no chance of resurrection, so he can be said to have been completely avenged by the victims of the incident.
But that’s not all, Osiyotan then began another long hunting journey.
Since there was no light source like the sun in the bottomless abyss where he was, and there was no distinction between day and night, he had no idea how much time had passed and how many demons he had killed.
Then, by extreme coincidence, Ossiyotan seemed to feel some kind of calling, and he found the way to Lustria again, 7,000 years later.
Yes, this is the time he disappeared.
After hearing this series of information, everyone found it difficult to conceal their inner shock.
Although there are countless bottomless abysses, the properties of each layer may be different, and even the speed of time flow is not exactly the same.
But no matter what, being able to survive in the bottomless abyss for so long by one's own and killing all enemies is probably something that many demigods, or even true gods, cannot do.
After all, the Abyss itself has a strong planar tendency. Unless one belongs to the chaotic evil camp like the demons, one will be greatly weakened there.
The reason why Osiyotan was able to achieve this level was definitely not just due to his own strength, but also due to his skills and wisdom.
Coupled with the speed that Osiyotan just demonstrated, he could be called the strongest assassin under all the gods!
More importantly, the bottomless abyss that Oxyothan went to was also extremely special. It was the realm of the four Chaos Gods, and he hunted only the four major types of demons: Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh, rather than conventional demons.
No one knows if it was originally like this or if it was due to the seal, but the Four Chaos Gods are indeed now imprisoned on the same floor.
That layer seemed endless. Osiyotan had lived there for countless years but had never been able to touch its boundaries. He called it the Chaos Demon Realm.
Over the years, Oxyotan never found a way to the other layers, and since he was not a spellcaster, he was unable to keep the coordinates there.
Similarly, after Osiyotan escaped, the surrounding space cracks all disappeared. Neither Levi nor Lord Huahua were able to successfully obtain the coordinates.
Despite this, the return of the Shadowless Hunter is still a very encouraging thing for all Lizardmen.
With only a small blowgun in his hand and various poisons he found locally in the Chaos Realm, he hunted down countless demons.
Among them are top demons such as the Great Unclean Ones of Nurgle, the Bloodthirsty Ones of Khorne, and the Changeling Lords of Tzeentch, which sounds incredible.
Osiyotan is well aware of the weaknesses of many demons, which will certainly greatly help the Lizardmen to better fight against the demon army.
After a brief pause, Levi took out one point of divinity that he had just obtained: "If it is him, he should not let this power down."
According to the current development of the situation, it is only a matter of time before they confront the Four Gods of Chaos. Osiyotan, who has been wandering in the Chaos Realm for countless years, will definitely be an excellent helper.
And to be honest, the weakening of the Lizardmen may make many ambitious races or gods secretly happy, but at present, this is not a good thing for the order camp of the main world.
If the demons really were to annihilate the Lizardmen and occupy Lustria, their next target would naturally become humans and elves.
What's more, Levi actually has even greater ambitions.
In the past, the magic toads and lizardmen did not need to worship gods to gain power, but in this special situation, without priests, their weaknesses are too obvious.
If at certain critical moments, can the magic toads make a little change?
The unique Lord Huahua, who is particularly friendly to humans and elves, may be the best breakthrough point.
Lord Huahua was also a little surprised, but he had to admit that the divinity of the Phantom Goddess Leila was indeed very compatible with the Shadowless Hunter - Osiyotan.
But he was already worried about how to repay Levi, and if he accepted this gift again, he would be even less able to repay it.
But after a brief thought, he decided to accept the gift. The Lizardmen were indeed in a bit of a predicament at the moment, but they had enough historical accumulation.
Before leaving, the ancient saints also left behind many precious treasures.
Even if Levi is not interested in any of this, at least as a magic toad, he can still contribute a lot.
At worst, I can just work for Levi like the Queen of Paradise Island, and experience the wonderful world outside.
