Chapter 389: Niris' Cunning (Part 1)
Chapter 389: Neris's Cunning (Part 1)
What the gods convey to the pope was an oracle. The pope wanted to launch a holy war, which was carried out in the name of the gods. Because the power of the gods was separated and formed a three-legged situation with the pope and the judges, the oracle conveyed by the pope was questioned by the gods.
Therefore, in this holy war, the power of the divine envoy did not cooperate with the pope's arrangements. Instead, the jury sent a large number of troops, including the Blood Knights and the jailers. However, the jury did not dispatch many black deacons and jurymen. The black-clothed priest among the vanguards had a low status in the jury.
The Cardinal was not surprised by the death of the black-clad priests. The two Cardinals were surprised by the appearance of the demon army. If there were dozens or hundreds of demons, there was nothing strange about this, because there would still be bold mages who dared to summon demons, and it was not uncommon for the demons to appear on the Meers Continent.
The problem is that the demon legion is a built-up legion, with officers commanded it, arranged in complex formations, and cooperated with each other to fight. This is a serious problem.
In the demon legion, there was an extremely powerful demon, waving a giant spear and slaughtering the blood knights. The two cardinals looked at each other, nodded, and let the holy knights who were guarding them move forward and slowly approach the tall demon.
This demon was created by Neris using the ultimate transformation technique, and his strength was not as good as that of the great demon. The Cardinal couldn't see it. They decided to kill the leader of the demon, otherwise that demon would cause huge damage to the Blood Knight. The fearless Blood Knight could not even charge, but could only bypass the sides of the demon and fight the demon legion behind it.
The Blood Knight has no advantage over the demons. The demons are too strong in strength and defense than the Blood Knights. The armors equipped by Salin for this demon legion are at the same level as the Demon God's Flying Armor, but they have weakened 80% of their flying abilities. After all, he doesn't need a flying legion now, and the demons' running and marching are already very fast.
The demon who changed into the image of a demon god was standing in front, and behind him were more than a hundred powerful demons, like personal soldiers, blocking the attacks on both sides for him, allowing this huge demon to move forward and completely disrupt the formation of the Blood Knight. The Blood Knight lost its speed, and even three or five could not defeat a demon.
The Cardinal slowly approached, and the attack range of the divine art was similar to that of magic, but the attenuation effect of the divine art was faster than that of magic. Generally speaking, the attack distance of the magician was theoretically the same as that of the divine art, but the attack power was greater. Only within a hundred meters, the attenuation of the divine art would not be too obvious. This refers to the intermediate divine art, the eighth level divine art master, who can already use advanced divine art. Their attack distance was more than two hundred meters, and only an alchemy crossbow could threaten their safety. Ordinary bows and arrows were powerless.
The demons in the lead felt the danger keenly. The demons were not very smart and their brains were destroyed by the summoned magic circle, but their instincts became stronger. The actions of the two cardinals did not hide from the demons at all.
More than 400 undead knights were interspersed among the demons and approaching the two cardinals. The magic wand in the hands of Neris was tightly clamped, and she was less and less affected by Salin. Now, she could inspire the eighth level undead magic. This is her advantage over the demons, and she can use her mental power to complete the stored magic. No matter how powerful the demons are, she cannot do this.
A cardinal unfolded a scroll of magic tricks in his hand, and the dazzling light lit up. In the sky, the thick clouds were diluted. A huge divine text was spinning in the air, illuminating the earth. There were blood, corpses, broken weapons, and green grass trampled into mud.
As soon as the distance between two hundred meters was reached, the Cardinal completed the layout. A sacred area greatly increased the strength of the believers of the gods, and the effect of the magic technique was strengthened by more than 20%.
The tall demon roared wildly, suddenly turned sideways and ran to the side. The demons around him followed, saying that they would not enter the cover of the sacred area. The same was true for the demon legion behind them. The demons divided their troops to both sides, bypassed the sacred area, and attacked southward.
The Cardinal was shocked. There was not much attack power in the sacred area, it was just a preparation. The demons were not considered evil creatures, and their strength would not decrease in the sacred area. However, these demons bypassed the control range of divine magic with an area of more than 400 meters, which was simply...
At this time, something that surprised the Cardinal even more. Hundreds of undead knights rushed over.
This undead will be hit by the sacred area! Generally speaking, if the undead enters this area, its attributes will be reduced by at least half, and the powerful undead will also be reduced by more than 20%.
This is incomprehensible madness. The Undead Knight itself has subtle wisdom and will avoid such areas that are not conducive to the survival of the Undead.
The Cardinal's eyes fell on a necromancer among the Dead Knights.
The Cardinal was a little suffocated. He was a beautiful female necromancer, holding a green magic wand in his hand, sandwiched among the undead knights and approaching him.
What a beautiful woman! If you influence, purify, subdue, and become a believer under your own seat, then...
The two eighth-level cardinals were actually charmed by Neris at the same time in an instant. In just a moment, Neris' magic wand was raised and aimed at one of the cardinals.
Even Neris didn't know what the undead words meant by chanting randomly. Her mental power did not require the cooperation of spells, but it was just a gesture.
The gray magic light lit up, and on the ground, within the holy area, thousands of tentacles broke through the ground and attacked upwards. Hundreds of jailers were entangled at the same time, and more purple tentacles were wrapped around the two cardinals.
The prison guards wrapped in purple tentacles, their black armor was roaring, and the undead knight rushed up and accurately inserted the gaps in the prison guards' armor with the gray bone spear in their hands.
Charm is not a rare ability, and some demons even use magic with charm attributes. But what Neris is charming is the two eighth-level cardinals, even though it is only a moment, it is enough to be proud.
Such a brief pause, the eighth level undead magic, the dance of death. Those purple tentacles have strong paralysis attributes and can also absorb the target's life. The jailer's armor was not torn apart, but the powerful impact of the undead knights allowed the bone spear to pierce through their eyes without any obstacles.
"hateful!"
The Cardinal felt a strong sense of shame in his heart. They actually received the charm of a necromancer, which made the other party attack their subordinates calmly.
Holy Word!
A cardinal briefly recited the prayer, and then his hands were closed, and a wave of holy light was released. The powerful divine power swept towards the undead knight, while the other magician silently released a mental paralysis.
Mental paralysis targets Neris. Unexpectedly, Neris threw out an obsidian in advance, exploded in the air, and released a huge undead substitute. This undead substitute has no attack power. The only function is to bear an attack on behalf of Neris.
If it is a physical attack, the undead substitute is very fragile, but the mental attack cannot penetrate it. The mental paralysis completely acts on the undead substitute. The undead substitute immediately becomes crazy, and Neris loses control over the substitute. The undead substitute screams and runs in front, but the attack is still the jailer wrapped in tentacles.
Its attack power is so pitiful. The jailer, who has no ability to resist, was slapped by the huge palm of the undead substitute, and his palm was broken. The sharp howl of the undead substitute became even stronger, and even affected the prayers recited by the magician.
Mental paralysis is an advanced magic technique, which has a very obvious effect on magicians and is more useful than the Forbidden Gem. After all, it is not necessary to recite spells for mages to stimulate magic in items such as scrolls and magic wands. Forbidden Gem technique mainly interrupts the magician's powerful magic. Many advanced magic, even if you learn the most skillful, cannot be instantly released, let alone silently.
Mental paralysis can make the magician's mental power temporarily lose control, and no advanced magic can be completed smoothly. The problem is that what Neris throws out in advance is the undead substitute, not the undead guardian.
Mental paralysis can penetrate most magic shields, including the ultimate defense of the ice pattern armor. However, this magic technique is a single-body attack and cannot be continuously controlled. After being attracted by the undead substitute, Neris rushed up safely.
Using low-level magic to destroy advanced magic, her combat skills are very similar to Salin's. This is not gambling. Anyway, her own defense is extremely high, and the enemy's magic cannot kill her instantly.
Nelise's magic wand can store two magic tricks, which is the function of high-end equipment. Ordinary magic wands can only store one magic trick, and cannot be stored again for a short time after use. Nelise raised the magic wand, but did not release the undead magic. With her other hand, she took out a scroll from the skin and smashed it hard on the head of the skeleton war horse.
The scroll shattered, and blue flames emerged from the skeleton war horse's body. The soul fire burned violently and spit out from its eye sockets. Black flames also appeared under the skeleton war horse's feet, and the speed suddenly increased several times. The bones on the body could not bear such a large amount of power, and cracks appeared.
The low-level undead instantly increased to the power of the intermediate undead, and the skeleton war horse would definitely not last ten minutes. Neris's mouth raised and her smile looked like Salin. What she wanted was the illusion of the enemy. She was not a necromancer, but a pure little demon - Lorogalo.
