After dealing with Luther Harken, the magic toad Torex of the Moon Monument kept his promise and allowed the small church of Seleket to move into his territory that day and began formal missionary work.
Then, as if some chain of quests had been triggered, the magic toads in several nearby towns began to invite Levi to help them defeat enemies, recover lost territories, capture towns, and repair key points of the giant spiritual vein network, etc., on the condition that they were allowed to spread their faith.
The enemies are not limited to the three demons of Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle, but also include rat-men, vampire pirates and so on.
Then, as if they had received a signal, the smaller villages and towns without magic toads began to actively show goodwill to Levi in ​​order to seek help.
Due to the small number of magic toads, not all towns in Lustria have magic toads as commanders, and many are led by skin lizard priests or lizardman generals.
Apart from ordinary battles and daily guarding of towns, they generally do not have much autonomy, especially in diplomacy. This is also an important reason why Levi did not start with these small strongholds at the beginning.
Now that several magic toads have taken the lead in expressing their opinions, the spirit lizard priests can understand the meaning, so they have begun to follow suit.
Especially when Levi generously left a certain number of Death Guards to strengthen the defense of every town that asked him for help, and promised that they could get more through barter later, they became more proactive and enthusiastic.
Although Levi no longer takes the strength of other types of Death Guards, except the Sphinx, seriously, as constructs they are completely immune to the plague, so using them to deal with ratmen and Nurgle demons is still very practical.
Levi was extremely busy for a while. Finally, he, Penthesilea and Donna divided their forces into three groups and took care of each other. With the full help of Osiyotan and Lord Huahua, they were able to barely handle these things.
Lord Huahua wanted to further deepen his relationship with Levi, while Osiyotan wanted to repay the divine grace.
Therefore, he not only brought Mortiti with him and taught her by example, but also when he eliminated the enemies, he did it all in the name of Seleket. It can be said that he had done his utmost.
As a result, due to the rapid increase in the number of towns opened to them, even the number of priests of Seleket was not enough. Even if Seleket risked being discovered by Osiris and transferred a large number of people, it was still not enough.
Because she herself is only a weak divine power, the size of the church and the number of priests can't really be considered large.
In the end, Lilith sent some elven priests to help solve the problem.
Levi and Osiyotan could act in the name of Seleket, and so could these elven priests.
In the process, Levi also discovered that Osiyotan himself seemed to be very interested in Seleket.
Levi was a little confused at first, but he soon understood that Osiyotan was targeting Seleket's ability to make drugs.
As a famous shadowless hunter, in addition to lurking and assassination, Osiyotan is best at mixing poisons with various materials to kill enemies, but he himself cannot make poison.
If he could obtain the power of Scorpion God, Seleket, just imagine what he could do?
If Seleket was willing to pay the price, he might be able to find a powerful chosen one. Osiyotan had no faith in the ancient saints. After all, the ancient saints did not save him during the 7,000 years he wandered in the Chaos Realm.
However, Levi had no intention of intervening in this matter and decided to let Seleket do it on his own.
In this way, after working for a few more days and deploying people to more than a dozen towns of different sizes and more nearby villages, Levi and his team finally had some free time.
In fact, Levi didn't want to have such free time, but there were no towns in the nearby area asking him for help.
Because after considering for a period of time, even though he still hadn't completely figured out all of Rose's conspiracies, Corellon still chose to use divine power to forcibly block the influence of the King Killer Planet on the main world.
It wasn't that he really sympathized with the dragons or the lizardmen, he just didn't want Rose's conspiracy to succeed.
Without the influence of the Dragon Madness Mystery, the Lizardmen's dinosaurs can fight at will, which greatly reduces the pressure on ordinary Lizardmen troops.
With the death of Luther Harken, the remaining vampire pirates began to engage in frequent infighting in order to fight for the position of Pirate King he left behind, as well as his wealth and territory. For a while, they had no time to harass the Lizardmen, which relieved some of the pressure.
However, during this period of time, many dinosaurs and lizardmen in Lustria suffered casualties. Now the Lizardmen can ensure that their territory will not be lost, but if they want to launch a large-scale counterattack, or even completely purify the evil of this continent, it will not be done in a short period of time.
In addition, as Osiyotan brought many things out from the Chaos Realm, it would take some time for the magic toads to fully exert their functions, or even to imitate them, so the Lizardmen temporarily remained on the defensive.
As for Osiyotan himself, his lurking and assassination abilities were unparalleled in the world, and his battle level and battle skills were also terribly strong.
Obviously, those chameleons were generally only around level 3, but under his leadership, they could easily defeat enemies that were several or even dozens of times their number, while their own losses were minimal.
It would be fine if the opponent was a ratman, but even if he was dealing with a demon, he would get the same result.
According to the intelligence Levi received last night, Osiyotan’s current record is 43 battles, with a 100% win rate.
Except for some flying troops who managed to escape successfully, the rest of the enemy forces were basically wiped out.
With his style of fighting, the number of epic victories he has achieved is probably beyond everyone's imagination.
Therefore, in just a few days, the ratmen on the continent of Lustria were terrified by him, and enemies in a large area nearby also became wary. They were obviously much more cautious when marching and fighting, for fear of being ambushed by Oxyotan.
During this period, Levi also took everyone to watch the battle in person many times, and then they found that Osiyotan was worthy of being a shadow hunter, and was well versed in tactics such as ambush, assassination and guerrilla warfare.
However, it is difficult for Levi and others to imitate, because the most important part of Osiyotan's tactics is based on the special ability of chameleons - changing color.
This allows them to move freely in the jungle, fighting when they want and running when they want.
But despite this, Levi and his team still gained a lot, especially Mortiti.
She didn't make any improvements in level or attributes, but she did grow considerably in terms of skill proficiency and the timing of releasing skills.
The number of ratmen plague prophets and the like killed by her personally in the past few days has exceeded double digits.
At the same time, Seleket also welcomed a challenging competitor.
During the Dragon Rage Maze, the Cult of Sotek, the Serpent God, in southern Lustria, also took the opportunity to frequently support surrounding towns in an attempt to expand the sect's influence, just as Levi and Seleket did.
At first glance, Mazda and other magic toads have basically the same attitude towards the two churches. In order to use the power of the two sects to fight against many evils, they are allowed to preach in a certain area.
At the same time, the leader of the Serpent God Sotek Cult, the legendary Red Crowned Skink Priest Tehenhauin, also reiterated the ultimate goal of his church:
Thousands of rat-men were sacrificed to allow the great snake god to descend into the world, devour the big horned rats, and completely put an end to the rat-men.
This made many towns that had been tormented by the ratmen look forward to it, and it also gained the support and faith of many skink lizards.
The Sotek sect appeared in Lustria hundreds of years earlier than Seleket. The priests in the sect were very good at poisoning and detoxifying, and they could also summon all kinds of large and small venomous snakes and pythons to help, so Seleket really didn't have much advantage in this competition.
But after careful study and many communications with Lord Huahua, Levi and Seleket also confirmed that the Sotek sect was not completely without weaknesses.
As can be seen from the ultimate goal of their church , they highly respect bloody sacrificial rituals.
Including but not limited to grilling, disemboweling, taking out hearts, dismembering limbs, and feeding living ratmen to dinosaurs.
This series of rituals fully demonstrated their extreme hatred towards the ratmen, and thus gained the fanatical worship of many skin lizards who had a deep hatred for the ratmen.
Among the Lizardmen, the Skin Lizards are the largest in number and have the weakest average strength, so they almost always suffer the most losses in every war.
But more spirit lizards would feel scared. At the same time, Levi also learned from Lord Huahua that almost all the magic toads expressed worries and concerns about this.
Because of this bloody sacrifice, although the target of the sacrifice is the snake god Sotek, it is also possible that the blood god Khorne will steal some of its power.
Even though this was not the first time they had dealt with the Four Chaos Gods, for Mazda and the others, there were still many unsolved mysteries about the Four Chaos Gods.
Therefore, in the past they adopted various methods to limit the development and growth of the Sotek sect to a certain extent.
The introduction of Seleket now is, on the one hand, a deal with Levi, but on the other hand, it is also an attempt to exercise checks and balances.
In comparison, Seleket's advantage is that he has Levi's help. Holding the Book of Avoidance of Disaster, he is the absolute nemesis of the rat plague.
But this alone is not enough for Seleket to win the war. Besides, Levi cannot keep busy with this matter all the time. Seleket still needs to find new strength.
So recently, Seleket has been going all out, asking her church to recruit a large number of tomb technicians and spend a huge amount of money to purchase the manufacturing methods of tomb giant scorpions and poisonous scorpion guards, hoping to apply them on a large scale in Lustria.
It is not only a consumable combat tool, but can also be a mount and guard for spirit lizard priests.
Even at Levi's suggestion, Seleket decided that once the Tomb Scorpion had reached a certain size, she would give part of it free of charge to the towns that were not open to her.
As long as the other party uses it on the battlefield, it is equivalent to promoting the existence of her as a goddess.
Moreover, once the other party gradually tastes the benefits of the Tomb Scorpion, it will sooner or later take the initiative to contact her. When the time is right, spreading the faith will be a natural thing.
Next came some earth mages. Apart from ambushes and plagues, the Skaven were best at dealing with underground threats. The rainforest terrain of Lustria allowed the Skaven to use this tactic relatively easily.
When in the wild, except for the Chameleons led by Osiyotan, the other Lizardman armies have more or less experienced being ambushed.
Regardless of the outcome of the battle, this feeling would definitely be terrible.
But if there are some powerful earth mages accompanying them, they may be able to sense the vibrations underground and thus detect the enemy's ambush.
At the same time, in many villages and towns, earth mages can also help repair and strengthen defense facilities, etc.
Seleket naturally chose to obey, and at the same time she became more grateful in her heart. Without Levi's series of efforts, she would never have been able to establish faith in Lustria so quickly.
However, her series of actions inevitably attracted the attention of many gods within the Egyptian pantheon.
It is estimated that after a period of time, Osiris might find out that her real body has slipped away.
But things have developed to this point, and Seleket no longer cares about what the other party thinks.
Osiris was indeed very capable when it came to suppressing dissenting voices within the pantheon, but he did not have much courage when facing outsiders.
As early as the battle at the Orc Gate, he had already been frightened.
If he had any ambition, aspirations, or even a desire for revenge, he would not have done nothing during the current period of great weakness of the greenskins in the main world.
After this series of hard battles, Levi was finally able to successfully reach level 21 and officially entered the ranks of legends.
It is precisely because he himself has become a legend that he can understand how big the gap is between legends and non-legends.
The first is a one-time reward, the title of Legendary Mage, which will increase his total attributes by +1, health by +50, magic by +100, and legend by +10. It cannot be stacked with other similar titles.
After that, for every level he increases, his health and magicka increase by an additional +10.
For every 2 levels you increase, you can increase all attributes except the highest attribute (Intelligence) by 1 point.
Theoretically, as long as the level is high enough, he will become a perfect creature without any shortcomings. This is the power of legend.
However, this is only in theory, because after becoming a legend, the experience points gained by killing ordinary enemies will be further reduced, and the experience points required for him to upgrade will increase again.
As one thing increases while the other decreases, the difficulty of his upgrade has increased significantly.
Now basically only the 7th-level troops or heroic units above level 15 can benefit him, but there are not many of these in the entire main world, and they will definitely be carefully protected by various forces.
Levi felt that if he wanted to upgrade quickly in the future, he would probably have to go to many different dimensions.
Or you could hunt other legends, or even powerful beings like demigods, they would give you a lot of experience points.
But this kind of thing cannot be included in the regular battle list. After all, there are so many races in the entire main world, and there seem to be only two or three hundred legendary beings in total.
Another more feasible way to gain experience points is to research new magic, create magic scrolls, magic potions, or learn legendary magic, etc., which is more of an academic approach.
In fact, before the arrival of the chosen heroes, the mages of the main world spent most of their time improving their strength through various research rather than killing enemies.
Although it may take relatively much longer, it is safe and stable.
There is a saying in Zhendan: The son of a wealthy family will be selected into a temple. Compared with ordinary warriors, the threshold for becoming a mage is much higher, and the identity and status are therefore also higher.
They would not easily get involved in small-scale bloody battles because the benefits are not proportional to the risks.
But with the appearance of the God-chosen heroes, the main world, which had been relatively stable, was suddenly filled with war. Many mages could not bear the loneliness and took the initiative to join the battlefield, resulting in heavy losses.
Now it seems that in addition to the many gods related to fighting, war, killing and death who are fanning the flames, there may also be the power of the Blood God - Khorne.
Although the Four Chaos Gods have never fully revived, their influence has always existed.
Another point is that after becoming a god, the penalty for holding a part-time ordinary profession will be greatly reduced, so many gods have multiple professions.
For example, Lilith, from what Levi knows, has at least four professions, including mage, priest, holy grail knight and mist ranger, and their levels are not low.
However, to God, the skills, expertise, and even the attributes brought by these professions are of little significance.
At most, it can be used as a reference to see whether their main fighting style is inclined towards melee combat and spellcasting, or archers or something like that.
What is truly important and can influence the battles between gods is the level of divinity, priesthood, domain, extraordinary divine power, and even divine artifacts, etc.
Therefore, Levi is no longer particularly concerned about his level, and it doesn’t matter if he is just a legendary goalkeeper for the time being.
At 21st level, Levi can also select both a magical and a legendary feat.
Compared to ordinary specialties, legendary specialties are much more powerful. Some of them can even directly improve attributes, which means that you can gain 2 attribute points at each level. Levi thinks that the Messenger and the Messenger of Mercy must have similar legendary specialties.
The legendary feat Levi chose was multicasting, which allows him to multitask and cast multiple identical or different spells at the same time. The casting time is calculated separately, but the cost is a 30% increase in the casting error rate.
For high-level magic such as Yangyan Blast, the risk is a bit high, because once the magic goes wrong, it is not just a matter of losing magic points and casting time, there is a high probability of harming oneself and even nearby friendly forces.
If half of Yangyan exploded on Levi, it would be more than just embarrassing.
But for Levi, this expertise is priceless.
Because the Hammer of Axiom itself is only a tier-3 magic with low cost and instant casting, even with this 30% chance, the error rate is still 0. However, the damage is extremely high, which is a perfect match for multiple casting.
Coupled with his other expertise, based on his current strength, he can now instantly cast up to 5 Hammers of Axioms at a time, and his output has increased explosively.
With just this one move, unless he faces a being like Luther Harkon who has an absurdly strong magic resistance again, ordinary non-legendary beings, including monsters like Nurgle's Great Unclean Ones with a health value of over ten thousand, will not be able to withstand his fierce attack.
Levi should consider whether his health points are sufficient. After all, each Hammer of Justice requires him to sacrifice health points, and he cannot use healing spells or magic potions to recover.
As for magic, even though he has become a legend, when he upgrades, the magic he can choose from is still only level 9 at most. He needs to work hard on legendary magic.
Since he already has the Book of Thousand Spells, he is no longer particularly interested in conventional magic. As long as he has enough time, he will be able to learn it sooner or later.
For example, in recent days, he has acquired a new 8th-level magic - Labyrinth Magic, which can trap the enemy in a magic maze for a short period of time. It is a great trick to defeat multiple powerful enemies one by one.
The other is a 9th-level magic - Construct Enlightenment, which gives constructs human-like minds. In addition to making Sphinx and other creatures smarter, Levi can also use it to build magic towers.
The only problem is that the cost of casting the spell is a bit high. If he uses it on the Sphinx, it will cost 1,000 gold coins and various materials worth 2,000 gold coins, which is almost the same as the value of the Sphinx itself.
If you have enough money, you can use it, and it will definitely improve the potential of the Sphinx .
But given Levi's current financial situation, this is not necessary for the time being.
Excluding conventional magic, there were two options in the magic list that interested him. The first one was Advanced Synchronic Celestial (Special).
Under normal circumstances, some benevolent mages will likely be granted special authority by the three major celestial clans, inviting some celestial creatures to temporarily enter the mages' bodies in the form of possession at critical moments.
In this case, the celestial beings will gain access to the mages' past memories and telepathy, and the mages' intelligence, perception, and charm attributes will increase to varying degrees. At the same time, if conditions are met, the mages may also use the magic mastered by the celestial beings.
The Synchronous Celestials can only invite celestial creatures of level 5 at most, while higher-level Synchronous Celestials can invite level 7.
But generally speaking, unless the mages are facing a life-and-death crisis, they will not be willing to let the celestial beings obtain their memories, because that would mean that they will no longer have any secrets in front of the other party.
Who knows if the celestial being who came here is a big mouth, and whether he will spread these things to other celestial beings or the next wizard who summons him?
Similarly, since it is just a simple possession and providing abilities, there is almost no control over the wizard's body, which may cause the celestial creatures to be affected by the wizard's abilities such as the binding of another world, so the celestial creatures will also be very cautious about this.
Therefore, even in Hoeth's Book of Thousands of Magic, this kind of magic is not recorded. The same is true for special holy magic such as the Hammer of Justice and the Last Crusade, which are not recorded either.
As the one and only master of the celestial mysteries, Levi once again enjoyed extra treatment.
He can invite celestial beings to possess him without offering up his own memories.
At that time, not only attributes such as intelligence, perception and charm will be increased, but also strength, agility, etc. As long as the celestial creature has one attribute higher than Levi himself, he will be given a certain enhancement.
And there are no restrictions on the celestial beings that can be summoned. In theory, if the messenger of mercy or the messenger agrees, he can also invite the other party to descend. This is a bit scary.
Although not all of the attributes of the Mercy Messenger were inherited, the Mercy Messenger's strength, agility, etc., were at least 25, or even more than 30 points. Even if half of them were given to Levi, it would be enough to make him a good fighter.
Coupled with the magic that Levi himself possesses and his martial arts aura, it can be said that with just one move, he is enough to become a powerful man who practices both magic and martial arts.
It's just that it feels a bit weird to merge with a male, and it takes a lot of experience points to maintain it, so the cost is a bit high.
As for the second magic, it is called astral projection, and its effect is to put his own body or a certain number of friendly forces into a state of suspended animation.
The soul is projected into the astral plane, and guided by a silver cord behind it, roaming in the astral plane as an energy clone, or traveling to other worlds through the astral plane.
The astral world is a special spiritual world where there is no distinction between up and down, left and right. Time and space are completely different from the main world, and there is no need for breathing, etc.
Since it is a spiritual world, strength and agility are meaningless there. Instead, attributes such as intelligence and perception determine your attack, speed, etc. At the same time, the speed of releasing magic will also be greatly improved.
Therefore, warriors will be very weak there, while mages and warlocks will be extremely powerful.
Under normal circumstances, the death of this clone does not have any other cost except that the soul is forced to return to the body.
The only exception is if the silver cord on the back is cut, which may lead to permanent death or the soul being lost forever.
This kind of danger is unbearable for mortals. Many powerful liches have completely perished because their silver cords have been cut. Even the lich life boxes they depend on for their lives cannot save them.
However, there are very few ways to cut the silver thread, and you can choose to return at any time, so unless you actively seek death, or are too careless and suffer a sneak attack from some powerful enemy, the danger is not particularly high.
What Levi really values ​​is that the star realm has a special nickname - "the morgue of the gods".
As the name suggests, it is said that after the death of all gods, their remaining souls and consciousness will be transmitted to the astral realm and transformed into rocks and islands, forming another kind of god corpse. The larger the area, the more powerful the god was when he was alive.
Theoretically, if Levi could go to the astral realm and find such a corpse, perhaps there might still be some power of the gods left on it, such as divinity, divine blood, or even knowledge about the divine realm.
But forget about the fragments of godhood and priesthood. If there are any left, they will not become corpses of gods in the astral realm.
Some people even believe that if the consciousness of these divine corpses has not completely dissipated, then churches can be developed in their names in the main world and other places to spread their faith. When enough power of faith is accumulated, they may be resurrected.
After all, when they became gods, they had already become the embodiment of a certain concept, and their death was very different from that of mortals.
Compared to the divinity taking over the body of a mortal and resurrecting, this is another way to resurrect the gods that takes a long time and is extremely costly.
Wouldn't it be better to continue strengthening yourself if you have that much time? Unless the dead god has something special, or he has a special relationship with something alive.
If there is a chance in the future, is it possible to find the God of Mazes and get something from him?
But this is a long time in the future, and the success rate is very slim.
The Star Realm has existed for such a long time, and other powerful beings may have had similar thoughts, but so far, no one has ever heard of anyone having made rich gains in it, or it is possible that no one is stupid enough to say it out loud.
Levi's only guess now is about the Spider Queen - Rose.
The body of the God of the Mystery was once desecrated by Rose, and she then created the Dragon Madness Mystery. It is completely impossible to say that she has no knowledge of the mysteries.
When choosing magic, Levi hesitated for a while. Finally, after communicating with the Messenger of Mercy, he made a real choice.
Many powerful beings possess the power of astral projection, but even the Seven Paragons of the Sub-Sky are not as advanced as the High-Attuned Celestials (special), which seems to be a special benefit given by Mount Heaven to the Celestial Mystics.
As for the issue of fusion that Levi was considering, it seemed unimportant to the Messenger of Mercy.
Because the Seven Archon Paragons may have originally had genders, but after becoming the spokesmen for Mount Paradise, they actually became the embodiment of the pure force of goodness and had lost the concept of gender. He and the Messenger only appeared .
If Levi has this request, they can also transform into women to respond to his call every time in the future.
Then they were very proactive and gave us an additional solution.
Among the current seven role models of the Akong, Sophia, the Lord of the Crystal Heaven on the fourth level, was originally a true female celestial being.
Before, they were still discussing how to provide further support to Levi, and now it seems that they have a good option.
Now that things have come to this, if Levi still insists on those details, he would be too ignorant and too stupid.
So he finally agreed happily and chose the new magic, Advanced Synchronicity (Special).
Afterwards, before the arrival of the Lord of Crystal Heaven, he asked the Bear-Headed Messenger, the Horned Akong, the Dragon-Headed Messenger and others to help him conduct several experiments with this magic.
The result was quite gratifying, after the spell was successful, he would automatically gain a variety of special abilities, including flying and the damage reduction ability unique to high-level celestial creatures, and as for those magic, he could use them all.
In terms of attribute enhancement, the bear-headed envoy Levi chose had 18 points of strength and 17 points of constitution, so these two attributes of Levi were adjusted to 13 and 12 points, basically calculated according to the opponent's highest -5.
If the attribute after -5 is no longer as high as Levi's own, then use Levi's own, such as intelligence.
Levi can also choose whether to replace his original attributes, so the degree of freedom is relatively high.
At present, Levi's favorite is the Horned Sub-Sky, because not only are their attributes very balanced and very high, generally between 15-20 points, but they also have the ability to fly, which makes them most practical on the battlefield.
At the same time, after being promoted to Legend, Levi can also officially use the Words of Creation. Combined with the magic - Mastering Legends, he will be able to study the true name of a specific creature.
He tends to choose the ruler of the seventh layer of hell - Maladomini, Grand Duke Baalzebub, who is known as "Slug", "Grand Duke of Flies" and "Lord of Lies".
Because this guy used to be a member of the Sub-Sky Clan of Mount Paradise. Not only did he fall, he also climbed to such a high position. It can be said that his existence itself is now a blasphemy to Mount Paradise.
If Levi could successfully deal with the other party, you can imagine how excited the Seven Role Models of Sub-Sky would be.
Next is the lord of the fifth layer of hell - Stygia, Prince Levistus nicknamed "The Ice King".
The Hell Demon that Levi killed in the small fire elemental plane was once a general on the fifth floor. Now Levi still has the communication ring that it once used. If the two are combined, he might be able to kill Prince Levistus.
As the matter is of great importance, Levi has not made a choice yet. Anyway, researching the real name will not be completed in a few days. He will go back and communicate and discuss it with Lilith, the Messenger of Mercy and others.
Lilith has been very busy lately as she is helping the Dragon Prince prepare for the deification ceremony.
The Dragon Prince's strength and legendary status are already sufficient, and his priesthood and fragments of godhood are almost there as well.
The most important thing now is to organize manpower to prevent powerful enemies from appearing and disrupting his deification ceremony.
Finally, Mount Heaven gives Levi another blessing (reward). Within three days, he will randomly gain the permanent allegiance of a wise bear envoy, mad lion envoy, golden dragon or astral apostle from the lawful good camp.
The first two are special hero units that are advanced from the Bear-Headed God Messenger and the Lion-Headed God Messenger, and the Golden Dragon is the leader of the five metal dragons. They are both extremely powerful and rare.
But Levi hopes to gain the allegiance of a star apostle. As the name suggests, they are special beings living in the star realm.
If Levi wants to go to the star realm in the future, it will be particularly smooth with the company of a star realm apostle!
