Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 78
At the entrance of the canyon, a large amount of devilish aura is being released.
Marvin activated the shadow form of the Mystic and wandered around the canyon, left and right.
Not far away, the bodies of several road demons were hanging on wooden stakes.
The road demon's body looked like a disgusting piece of human skin, hanging on a stake, and it looked particularly disgusting and hideous.
The shadow form of the Mystique has obvious resistance to the negative buffs attached to the fog at the entrance of the canyon. At least Marvin will not suffer a lot of rashes or corrosive damage on his body.
And the breath of the devil is the real provocation.
Marvin has the devil's heritage, and this aura cannot be concealed.
As we all know, demons and devils are mortal enemies!
No matter where, when a high-level demon and a high-level devil meet, both sides will fight to the death. Of course, in general, demons are relatively rough and straightforward, while demons are more cunning and short.
Marvin released the devil's aura in his body in order to attract Balkh's attention.
Although he didn't know what was happening in the valley, a bad premonition always lingered in his heart.
It is obviously not a wise move to rashly break into the land of a demon wizard.
He was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, and if he could anger Balkh, that would be great.
Unfortunately, after half a day, there seemed to be no movement in the Devil's Valley.
Marvin couldn't help but frown.
…
Near the altar, horrific experiments are still going on.
Balkh stared coldly at the struggling human. His eyes were white, he was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was twitching.
This is a sign that a new demon from the demon egg is about to take over this body.
This result made him very unhappy.
What he wanted was a general with a clear mind, strong physique, and the ability to lead troops in battle, rather than a bunch of demons who only knew how to kill and had no achievements in tactics or strategy.
The latter is in the abyss, almost everywhere; but the former is nowhere to be found.
Balkh simply ignored the mana dragon's hint.
As a demon wizard who prides himself on being smart, Balkh has never been interested in this so-called "mortal enemy" relationship.
If that human with devil blood wanted to break in, interfere with his experiments, and challenge his authority, then he wouldn't mind killing him.
However, trying to trick himself into leaving the valley might work for most demons, but it would not work at all for Balkh.
He simply said to his pet: "Keep monitoring."
"If he plans to force his way in, notify No. 29 to prepare for battle."
The Mana Dragon nodded and immediately asked, "What if No. 29 loses?"
Balkh sneered and said, "Then let that human come to the altar to find me."
ah!
A scream came from the man next to him, and his eyes suddenly became clear again!
Balkh's eyes lit up with joy and his attention immediately shifted over!
…
At the entrance of the valley, Marvin wandered for a long time, but still there was no movement.
He could sense that a pair of eyes were watching his every move. For a moment he thought Balkh was about to come out, but the other party remained silent. This surprised Marvin.
He mentally recalibrated his assessment of Balkh.
This guy is not an ordinary demon wizard.
He was able to suppress the mortal enemy relationship between the devil and the demon, which means that honor and dignity are not particularly important to him.
This guy is either a genius or pure lunatic.
No matter which one it is, it's not good news for Marvin.
If Balkh doesn't take the bait, Marvin's plan to lure the snake out of its hole will fail.
He might be monitoring his behavior or even assessing his own abilities, so staying there any longer would be very dangerous.
At this time, Marvin only had one way left - that was to charge head-on!
In essence, Marvin is actually a very lazy person. He would never fight head-on if he could steal something, and would never play a gentleman's duel if he could assassinate someone. However, from another perspective, Marvin is also a very decisive and fierce person.
If his first plan obviously fails, he will quickly use the second set of tactics.
The next second, he instantly released his shadow form.
The fog in the valley seemed to sense something and actually moved out a little.
Marvin sneered.
It is obvious that these fogs are controlled by someone. Even if it is not Balkh, it must be some other demons who are helping.
However, according to the information provided by the camp, Balkh is a loner. Apart from a mana dragon which he never leaves as a pet, other demons rarely appear around him .
The one controlling the fog at this time was either Balkh himself or the magical mana dragon.
Mana dragons are the dream pets of wizards. They can provide a lot of spell power gains and casting speed and other bonuses.
It’s just that this race lives in a very remote and rare plane, and few people can cross the plane to capture a mana dragon as their pet.
As for Balkh's mana dragon, it was probably a coincidence - or it was simply captured by his father, the demon lord Balkh, using his own resources or powerful force.
No matter what, you can .
The next second, Marvin instantly activated his legendary skill [Summon Shadow Dragon]!
A huge portal suddenly took shape.
However, this time, his legendary expertise [Double Efficiency] did not work successfully, and only six shadow dragons appeared in the sky above the canyon.
However, for such a small Devil's Canyon, Marvin felt that it was enough!
When the dragon roar sounded from the portal, it announced the beginning of the frontal attack.
Marvin didn't want to give the other party too many opportunities to react.
When he had almost finished summoning the Shadow Dragon, he activated his latest Transfiguration ability - [Advanced Transfiguration: Crown Griffin]!
Under the surge of a fiery natural force, Marvin's body began to twist and deform wildly.
In an instant, he transformed from a human into a griffin!
This griffin is very different from ordinary griffins. Its head looks like a crown, its body is covered with golden wings, and it has layers of golden halos!
Marvin subconsciously checked his current basic data:
Crown Griffin (Legendary Creature Template)
[Source: Advanced Transfiguration]
[Ability 1: War Aura - Your troops possess the (Bravery +5) trait]
[Ability 2: Invulnerable to all evils - Immune to all negative effects]
[Ability 3: Bloody Roar - Let out a roar, and conduct a Willpower check on all local units. The losers will enter a state of shock]
…
On the data column, the densely packed changes made Marvin dizzy.
He didn't have time to look at it any further. After just a quick glance, he came to a conclusion in his mind: strong!
The Crowned Griffin is indeed the most powerful griffin, with all kinds of incredible abilities. The Migratory Bird Council really spent a lot of money this time. It seems that the demigod Minsk is really very important to them!
Marvin didn't think much about it. After transforming into a griffin, he directly launched [Bloody Roar]!
Under the roar of the griffin, the thick fog that was surging wildly actually became a little thinner, and Marvin could see the structure of the valley clearly!
This valley is actually not very big, and you can see the demon altar emitting bloody stench in the distance at a glance!
Marvin roared, crossed the foggy area directly, and rushed in with six shadow dragons full of murderous intent!
Those horrible fogs can have a very terrible impact on humans or other creatures, but the Crowned Griffin is forcibly immune to negative states, making the use of the fog completely useless. The Shadow Dragon is originally a shadow life, and it is difficult to be entangled by things like corrosion and curse.
Six huge monsters rushed into the valley one after another, making the entire valley hum with a huge trembling sound.
Marvin was very fast and saw the tall demon next to the altar at a glance!
Compared to other demons, Balkh is indeed a little different.
He actually used disguise to make himself look more gentle and refined.
But the madness and murderous aura on him could not be concealed no matter what. This was definitely a genuine demon!
"What is he doing?"
Marvin was somewhat confused.
Next to the altar, there was actually a human man lying there twitching!
"This guy actually used mortals for experiments!"
Marvin roughly sensed that there were many cages deep in the canyon!
The cages were filled with all kinds of humans, strong, weak, male, female, old, young!
There was no life in these people's eyes, as if they had lost hope in life.
It was not until the roar of the griffin that they were awakened from their daze!
"Balkh!"
After transforming into a crowned griffin, Marvin could still speak. He roared and rushed towards the big devil: "It's time to end your evil experiment!"
Six shadow dragons circled in the sky, completely blocking Balkh's retreat.
Because the canyon was a bit narrow, Marvin didn't let them come down.
When he broke through the fog before, he needed the shadow dragon as cover, but in a head-on battle, he could definitely test it out first.
Balkh was obviously very unhappy because Marvin had interfered with his experiment.
He raised his head suddenly, and the terrifying griffin's claws had already grabbed his head!
puff!
Marvin attacked without mercy, and Balkh's head was torn to pieces!
“There’s a problem!”
Marvin's heart sank. As expected, Balkh, who was torn into pieces by him, was resurrected instantly inside the altar!
"Abyss witchcraft is indeed a bit weird."
Marvin felt his claws begin to hurt!
This is a crowned griffin that is immune to all negative effects. If it were a human body, it would probably rot if touched!
"How dare you challenge a demon wizard who owns an altar?"
"Didn't your teacher teach you the basics of the Abyss, young druid?"
Balkh in the altar coldly raised the goat-head staff and pointed it at Marvin in the sky.
