After giving the phase shoes to Mortred, she was naturally filled with joy.
At first, when she was told that she was going to work for Levi, she was somewhat reluctant, but after she actually arrived, her mentality changed again and again.
Although the time was too short for her to completely become Levi's mindless loyalist, she now fully identifies with her identity and is looking forward to a new future.
But Levi was a little worried about the ownership of the remaining two pieces of equipment. On the other side, Elegy, who was checking his new title, was also slightly disappointed.
Shadow Demon? Shadow gone?
Effect 1: When fighting against Shadow Demon, attack power +5;
Effect 2: Shadow hiding. When standing still, you can use the shadow to hide yourself and avoid being discovered by the enemy.
(The Shadow Demon is a strong man in the shadows, but when he stands in the sun, he is destined to disappear. Unfortunately, there is a guy named Nevin Moore who never understands this)
Compared to the titles she had obtained by defeating other legends before, this thing was of little use.
But she still grinned at Penthesilea who was wiping her spear next to her. If the other party hadn't wanted to do so, her chances of grabbing this head would have been very slim.
But Penthesilea waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter at all.
Although she has not killed any legends in the past, her frequent battles with many gods have given her a lot of combat experience, and she is confident that this has also given her a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
It's just that she is a little depressed now. She didn't expect that in her first battle, she would encounter such a disgusting enemy, and she didn't show her strength at all.
In the end, when the enemy was seriously injured, she ended the battle hastily, which was really uncomfortable for her.
And since she behaved so badly today, would Levi think that the money he spent was not worth it?
Seeing her depressed look, Elegy immediately understood, because she had just suffered the same treatment as the other party, and that shadow demon was indeed disgusting.
But she found it somewhat funny. She was obviously the queen of a paradise island, but why did she look like a child?
The enemy's abilities are all kinds of strange, and it is normal for pure warriors like them to suffer a little.
Anyway, the result now is that the other party is dead, but they are still alive and well. Isn't this enough?
Rolling her eyes, she also chuckled and stepped forward to murmur.
Of course she knew that Li Wei was interested in recruiting the other party, and this might be a good opportunity for him to perform.
After taking a short rest, new news came from Donna's side. They had finished cleaning the battlefield and were marching into the oasis.
The whole process went extremely smoothly, because most of the hidden enemies and traps inside were destroyed by the previous powerful attacks, and those who survived were just hanging on, posing no threat to them at all.
But those shadow spirits are really not afraid of death, or they are actively embracing death. I don’t know what they think.
At this time, with a soft sound of "Boom", the whirlwind's fury and the dragon-headed envoy were also finished.
But when they looked at Li Wei, Li Wei knew that there might be more twists and turns, because even Whirlwind Fury didn't have much smile on his face.
"Levi, things are a bit serious."
"The opponent has deployed three magic circles, one in the oasis, one in a small alien plane, and one in the bottomless abyss."
"The effects of the magic circle include corruption, transformation, and finally, pulling this place into the bottomless abyss. This is a common method used by demon lords."
"And the other party has partially succeeded. That's probably how those shadow spirits came just now. This oasis also has an area of about five miles in radius. They have been pulled into that small plane, but the other party seems to have other purposes behind it.
.”
"Even if I join forces with the Dragon-headed God Envoy, we can only temporarily prevent the corruption. You still need to go to that small alien plane to destroy the magic circle in it and find out what's going on."
"I can open a small portal for you that leads directly there, but in order to prevent the other party from completely destroying that space, locking you in, or simply crushing you, we need to do our best to maintain the portal without being distracted at all.
"
It was rare for Whirlwind Fury to say so much. It was obvious that this matter was not easy to handle even for her.
Li Wei naturally thanked the other party first, and then asked curiously: "Sister Gwen, can you judge the general identity and strength of the other party?"
Whirlwind Fury said happily: "It is indeed the Shadow Demon Queen. Such a powerful shadow power is unique among demons."
"As for the specific strength, I'm not very good at judging it, but it should be no less than me, especially since the opponent has been strengthened by the magic circle and blessed by the bottomless abyss."
When the Demon Lords and Demon Lords are in their own territories, they often receive additional reinforcements, just like she, the Seventh Archon, the Five Lords of Gaidin, etc., do in their respective hometowns.
Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood. If Whirlwind Fury said this, she would probably be stronger than she is now.
Since she and the Dragon-Headed Divine Envoy can't go, then we have to rely on ourselves. If that doesn't work, there is still the Mercy Envoy.
After pondering for a moment, Levi handed the assault armor to Penthesilea: "Sister Peng, you can use it first."
Then he gave Lothar's Blade to Mortred with his backhand: "This is for you temporarily, if you can prove with your record that you are worthy of it."
He stopped talking, but everyone understood what he meant.
There is no need to mention the surprise on the faces of the two women.
Mortred never imagined that she would get so many surprises on her first day here.
Penthesilea was even more surprised. She was essentially just a mercenary who worked hard to repay money. Who kind of mercenary could get such treatment?
This cheap little brother of mine really didn’t call her “Sister” in vain. I really miss her when good things happen.
Thinking of this, Penthesilea immediately completely ignored the little things before.
She is also a sister, and Whirlwind Fury is just a person who only sells her strength, and she cannot compare with herself!
Li Wei didn't care about them. These two pieces of equipment were indeed not easy to distribute, but in order to maximize his own combat power, he could only give them to them first.
But in this way, Penthesilea is lucky. Not only is she a legendary warrior in her own right, but she also has Paradise Island as her back. If she is really willing to pay a high enough price, Levi wouldn't mind giving it to her.
But for Mortred, the pressure will be very great.
Moreover, Li Wei also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Laila's phantom divinity would arrive soon. How would she face these precious gifts one after another?
With his mind racing, he began to summon the Mercy Messenger again.
With him and Penthesilea teaming up, unless the Shadow Demon Queen appears in person, who else under her can be useful? Can she count on her weakest third lieutenant?
As always, Mercy Messenger responded to him immediately. After seeing the whirlwind's fury, he was obviously a little surprised, but he still greeted him very politely.
But Whirlwind Fury just waved her hand very casually, indicating that she was busy.
After a few quick glances, the Mercy Messenger almost understood that most of the creatures in the heavens were capable of both magic and martial arts, and the stronger they were, the more so, so he was not completely unfamiliar with this.
Li Wei didn't show any politeness. After a quick introduction, he asked Whirlwind Fury to open the portal.
Then Penthesilea jumped in eagerly, probably determined to show off her true strength.
Mercy Messenger followed closely, followed by Elegy and Cindy.
Then there are war beasts such as King Kong and Sphinx. Even though the Fury of the Whirlwind keeps saying that it can only open a small portal, it is still enough to accommodate them.
As soon as he entered, Levi felt an invisible pressure, which was somewhat similar to the environment where the seal was first born.
Then came the darkness. This darkness caused by magic even made conventional dark vision ineffective. It was truly invisible.
Fortunately, Levi was prepared in advance, and some Holy Light Archons with immortal flames also came in with them, illuminating a small area around them.
At this time, the Mercy Messenger suddenly let out a soft snort, and the light and flames on his body suddenly exploded outwards. Penthesilea also shouted and threw several spears one after another.
Extremely miserable wailing sounds also sounded from a distance.
It turned out that a large number of enemies were lurking in the darkness about three hundred meters away.
In addition to at least hundreds of swamp-dwelling monsters, there are five to six hundred shadow spirits, and there are also two special types of soldiers that appear for the first time.
Dozens of monsters that look like centaurs, but are actually different.
They were more like cutting a demon in half and then splicing it onto a horse.
Looking at their body covered with bone spurs and their mouths full of fangs, they are obviously more capable of fighting than ordinary centaurs. They are level 4 swamp demon horses.
The other one is the product of a combination of a swamp-dwelling monster and a giant octopus, and the details of each monster are different.
Some are similar to demonic centaurs, like some inferior grafted creatures, while others still maintain the appearance of swamp-dwelling monsters, but only have a few more octopus tentacles.
Their specific strength is unclear, but their appearance is obviously ugly and vicious enough.
But I don't know why, but there are no demons here.
Probably because they were alerted by the battle outside just now, or because they were reminded by the Shadow Demon Queen, the swamp-dwelling demons and others are already guarding here at this moment, preparing for an ambush.
Unfortunately, they failed to accurately judge the location of Li Wei's teleportation and underestimated their strength. The ambush had already failed before it even started.
As for the wailing just now, it came from further away, from a special swamp-dwelling monster with a big belly sitting on the throne.
Seeing that it is wearing a crown, holding a staff, and wearing a fancy robe, it should have a certain special status among the swamp-dwelling monsters.
But precisely because it was too eye-catching, after being discovered by Penthesilea, he immediately threw three spears, and all of them hit.
At this moment it is trying to free itself from the spear, even leaving the throne and retreating backwards.
But because the force of the spear was so great that it even penetrated the throne and nailed it directly to it, so it couldn't escape at all, so naturally it could only keep wailing with pain and fear.
In front of and behind it were five swamp-dwelling demon warrior captains who were exceptionally tall and strong, holding swords and shields.
According to Donna's previous information, they should all be heroes above level 10.
But faced with this situation, they could only stand there dumbly, not knowing what to do.
The other party is the mistress. Touching its body casually without its order is a serious sin.
As soon as he saw this scene, Li Wei raised his hand and it was the hammer of justice. What else could there be to say? Of course he took advantage of its illness and killed it!
Then he also signaled Mercy Messenger and Penthesilea to attack at will. Anyway, with King Kong, Giant and some blood elf heroes around, mages such as Kyle and Sefa are still very safe.
So a big battle broke out instantly, and within just ten seconds, the winner was quickly decided.
Of course, Li Wei's side had the absolute upper hand.
The strength of these ambushers is indeed very good in the main world. It is easy to capture ordinary small towns.
However, there was a lack of strong men among them, and they were completely unable to cope with Penthesilea's wild charge.
She struck with her shield and swept her spear, easily repelling the multi-headed warrior leader, and under the gaze of many marsh-dwelling demons, she fired three spears in a row, killing the special marsh-dwelling demon wearing a crown on the spot.
The surrounding swamp-dwelling demons who saw this scene were about to lose their morale almost instantly.
"Mother Skata is dead!"
It is unknown which marsh-dwelling demon was the first to scream, but within a few breaths, all the remaining marsh-dwelling demons on the battlefield knew this fact.
The five warrior captains all entered a violent state, seemingly wanting to take revenge on Penthesilea.
But they only live a few seconds longer than their mistress. Penthesilea is originally better at defense, and in terms of attack, it can only be said to be average among legendary warriors.
Originally, in the Kingdom of God, when facing opponents of similar strength, she would use defensive counterattacks more frequently, waiting for opportunities to win.
But after wearing the Assault Armor, the effect becomes completely different. The substantial increase in attack speed represents an overall increase in combat effectiveness.
She just used some simple footwork to distance herself from the enemy, so that each swamp-dwelling demon warrior captain could face her alone. She then took the opportunity to attack like a gust of wind and rain, as fast as possible.
Kill the opponent in front of you.
So when the plan was successful, she killed 5 enemies that were generally above level 10 in just a few seconds.
The process was so easy that she even felt a little incredible.
Elegy next to her was a little dumbfounded. She originally wanted to step forward to help, but she soon realized that it didn't seem necessary, so she witnessed the queen's strength with her own eyes.
She had thought just now that even if the queen was legendary, she was equipped with many high-quality equipment and her combat power might not be much inferior to her opponent's.
Moreover, when she faced Shadow Demon-Nevin Moore before, the opponent's performance most of the time was indeed similar to hers.
But now she has a deep understanding that when the equipment of both sides is at the same level, the gap in strength will undoubtedly be highlighted, and she is still far behind!
But this did not dampen her, but instead made her more motivated to fight.
The queen is a divine descendant and is older than herself. As long as she works harder, she may not be able to catch up with her!
All the strong men in the group died in the blink of an eye, and the remaining marsh-dwelling demons became increasingly shaken. Many marsh-dwelling demons began to retreat backwards, obviously trying to escape.
At the same time, those shadow spirits who showed no fear of death in the oasis began to behave strangely.
Li Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that when there was no demon as a warlord, the shadow spirits didn't want to die casually.
But this cannot change their fate. The evil aura on their bodies is almost visible to the naked eye. It is obvious that their hands have been stained with the blood of many innocent people before.
Therefore, no matter whether it is Levi, Cindy, or the celestial beings and others, their subordinates show no mercy.
Especially Penthesilea and Mortred, who had received new equipment, seemed to be engaged in a massacre competition, setting off a whirlwind of killing and death among the enemies.
On the other hand, the Messenger of Mercy is not too obsessed with killing, not only if he does that, it would be a bit of a bully, but also because he has more important things to do.
After a moment of silence, with his soft drink, all the shadows and darkness in the entire space were completely dispersed.
This allowed Li Wei and others to clearly see that this space was indeed not very large, with a radius of about five miles.
What's particularly special is that, apart from being corrupted and shadowed, this place looks like a part of an oasis.
And in the most fringe area, some half-swamp-dwelling monsters, half-octopus monsters are working together with multiple swamp-dwelling monsters to bring disasters to maintain some kind of magic circle.
On the ground around them were corpses and blood from many different races, which were obviously used as sacrifices.
In the center of the array is a little snowflake-like crystal.
Although it is probably affected by the magic circle, it is now covered with a layer of phantom and black mist, but it still cannot conceal its brilliant essence.
Levi, who has had several experiences, can be 100% sure that it can only be something from the gods.
It's just that he originally thought it would be Laila's complete priesthood, but he didn't expect it to be just a fragment of the priesthood.
But for the Shadow Demon Queen or Lyra, this thing will still be very precious, because it can be used as a primer to obtain a complete priesthood.
It seems that the Shadow Demon Queen cannot take it away directly, so she plans to pollute it? This is a bold idea.
At the critical moment, Li Wei became more cautious, and without any action, several lion-headed envoys were already using their hands and feet to outflank him from multiple directions.
There is such a lively fight here, but they are still maintaining the magic circle there. No matter how important it is, it can't be like this, right?
So the most likely possibility is that there are other invisible enemies around!
At the same time, the Crazy Horsemen also used See Through Invisibility, and Sefa and Sally simply threw fireballs, firewalls, etc., in order to force the hidden enemies out.
Probably seeing that he could no longer continue, a large shadow demon simply appeared and blocked the front of the magic circle.
After looking at Levi, then at Penthesilea and Mercy Messenger, Shadow Demon's mood was obviously very complicated.
But in the end it still had the guts to shout: "Be brave, I am the third lieutenant of the great Shadow Demon Queen - Kadasha, you have time to withdraw now!"
It can be seen that it is a very rational and intelligent demon. In order to avoid angering the Messenger of Mercy, etc., it does not speak dirty words at all like ordinary demons.
But no one present was in the mood to talk nonsense with it. The fragments of the priesthood were already in front of them. In fact, it didn't matter what the enemy said or did!
Levi took the lead in launching the attack, starting with the Dimensional Anchor + Light Net. The Mercy Messenger also swung his sword and unleashed several brilliant flaming sword energy, which not only cut off the opponent's possibility of using shadow jump, but also completely blocked the opponent.
retreat.
Then Penthesilea, Dirge, and even Mortridy all rushed forward, while Cindy tentatively used Ghost-Breaking Dirge.
The Shadow Demon itself is also an incorporeal creature of energy. If it cannot enter the incorporeal state and run away quickly, it will be beaten to death in the blink of an eye.
The celestial beings nearby also used some spells that could dispel shadows or see through invisibility. They also did not want to give the other party a chance to escape.
Some enemies may seem very difficult to deal with when you encounter them for the first time, but once their weaknesses are discovered, it will be difficult to show off your power the second time.
After seeing this scene, the third adjutant, Kadasha, felt quite sad and angry, even a little resentful.
Those two damn guys clearly knew that each other was so strong, but they still let me project themselves when I was in a bad state. They just wanted me to get beaten again, right?
But it was still not stupid enough to cry out. After a few symbolic strikes, it was literally pinned to the ground and beaten violently.
Even though Cindy's Ghost-Breaking Elegy has not fully taken effect probably because there is still a gap in strength, its strength and equipment are obviously not as good as those of Niven Moore before.
So it was easily killed in just a few breaths.
This time it was Mortridy who got the kill, because at the last moment, Penthesilea took the initiative to stop.
Through the battle just now, she has slightly proved that she has lived up to Li Wei's expectations, so there is no need to grab the final blow.
It was just that while Mortred was excited, she soon also found out with a little disappointment. She didn't know whether it was because the opponent was not strong enough or for some other reason. In short, the opponent was not legendary, and she did not get a special title at all.
But she immediately cheered up again. The title was only secondary. What she really wanted was to show her strength!
With the death of the third adjutant, Kadasha, those guys who were still maintaining the magic circle seemed to have woken up from a dream. They all bared their teeth or roared in shock.
At this moment, everyone almost understood. It was probably that the guy just cast some illusion-like spell, which temporarily blocked their perception of the outside world.
But it doesn't matter, they all have to die anyway.
Since the distance was close enough, Mortred took the lead in launching a flash attack, chopping melons and vegetables, and easily killed several enemies.
When the opponent wanted to counterattack, she would directly turn invisible, go around from the side, and then kill most of the opponent's life with one blow.
By the time Cindy and Elegy rushed over, she had already killed almost all of them.
There is no doubt that, like Penthesilea, she is also trying to prove herself like Li Wei.
Li Wei was indeed very satisfied. After lightly nodding to the other party, he turned to look at the meditating Messenger of Mercy.
The opponent didn't show much force today. He preferred redemption to killing the enemy.
It's just that the latter is not only more difficult, but also more likely to fail. At least these shadow spirits are completely irreparable.
"Levi, just before she died, the swamp-dwelling demon matriarch said something about the Four Gods of Chaos and Bilak."
Levi nodded. The other party did roar a few times before dying, but it was not in any language he was familiar with. It was probably the swamp demon language it invented. Unexpectedly, the Mercy Messenger understood it.
"What did it say?"
The Mercy Messenger suddenly showed a rather strange expression: "The Four Gods of Chaos are about to return, and the end is coming. Only Bilak can stop them."
Levi also grinned. Good guy, this sentence seems familiar to him. Didn’t the previous Black Arkhan also describe Nagash in this way?
Which of you is telling the truth, or is it all nonsense?
"Any more?"
"There are also some curses against the Four Gods of Chaos, which are not of much value, but I suspect that Beelak and the Shadow Demon Queen are cooperating."
The Messenger of Mercy explained a little bit. Swamp-dwelling demons were once like beastmen, crazily worshiping demons and devils and other otherworldly evils. They also once became believers of the Four Gods of Chaos.
But later, the Four Gods of Chaos discovered humans who were more susceptible to corruption and had greater potential, so they abandoned the swamp dwellers and beastmen without mercy.
The beastmen were shameless and continued to hug their thighs, as if nothing had happened, but these swamp-dwelling demons seemed to begin to hate the Four Gods of Chaos because of this.
The mistress just now may have been very powerful once, and it was sealed for a while.
Later, it was accidentally saved by Be'lak, so it was not surprising that it and the tribes affected by it collectively turned to work for Be'lak. After all, Be'lak was perhaps the one who hated the Four Gods of Chaos the most.
As for how the swamp-dwelling monsters came to work for the Shadow Demon Queen, the other party didn't tell them just now, so they had no way of knowing.
But it is relatively easy to do some simple reasoning. It is nothing more than cooperation or exchange of interests.
Levi also synchronized the information with Mercy Messenger a little bit.
"We have evidence that Beelak has also reappeared. He should be trying to obtain his body that was sealed in the lead castle on Obion Island before the Four Gods of Chaos resurrected."
"For this reason, he corrupted some of the Truth Speakers on the island and probably enslaved the legendary hero of the Dark Elves - Malus."
"Recently, many demon lords in the Abyss have claimed to have obtained the secret of becoming a god. These shadow spirits of the Shadow Demon Queen must be some kind of preparation and attempt by her. This is probably all caused by Bilak."
Li Wei firmly believed that Billak was definitely not that kind.
Either he wanted to distract the gods and the Four Gods of Chaos in this way;
Either it was pure false information, he was playing tricks on those demon lords;
Or maybe he is raising pigs and intends to become an oriole.
Or it is also possible to kill two birds with one stone, carry out multiple plans at the same time, and finally choose the one that is most beneficial to him based on the development of the situation.
According to the information he currently has, Bealak is the first being in the main world to be promoted from a mortal to a demon.
His brain must be better than ninety-nine percent of purebred demons, and it is normal for him to play some tricks.
And it is unclear whether the death of goddess Naga has anything to do with him.
If there is, then he is really likely to play a big role.
But he was originally just a demon lord. At his peak, he was probably only equivalent to an ordinary demigod. The chance of killing the Naga goddess was really low.
The Mercy Messenger frowned more and more as he listened, not only because the situation was very bad, but also because even though he knew this, it was difficult to actually do anything.
Obion Island also has its own belief in local gods, and he cannot go there casually.
Bilak hasn't even recovered his physical form yet, so naturally there's no way to find him.
Moreover, many demon lords in the Abyss have become turbulent recently, and the heavenly army also needs to make more efforts, and he also needs to take care of them.
Sighing secretly, the Mercy Messenger turned to say seriously: "Levi, I leave this matter to you. If the traces of Bilak are really discovered, I am willing to rope in one of my brothers and comrades to fight together in person."
Levi's energy suddenly rose, and he had truly felt the strength of the Mercy Envoy more than once.
However, a being like the other party can only be ranked second to last among the Seven Spirits of Heaven. Who is his brother and comrade-in-arms? How strong can he be?
"Don't worry, this is my mission as the Mystic Master of the Heavenly Realm, to always fight against evil and maintain order and kindness!"
Soon all the enemies in this space were completely killed. After all, the space was so big that they couldn't even run away.
The Mercy Messenger also quickly adjusted his condition. He first completely terminated the magic circle and cut off the connection with the bottomless abyss. Then he helped Li Wei remove the fragments of the priesthood inside, and then they left this small space.
After they came out, the whirlwind's fury also began to cut off the connection between the small space and this side.
The space at both ends has been cut off. It doesn't matter whether the small space itself still exists. Anyway, the Shadow Demon Queen cannot take the opportunity to corrupt this oasis.
After doing this, Whirlwind Fury smiled and patted Li Wei on the shoulder, turned around and left.
Although she only used her ultimate move once and didn't fight again after that, it was still a relatively novel experience for her.
Because every time she led her army to the bottomless abyss before, few of those lord-level demons would fight her head-on.
It seems that I can give him more opportunities. Before reaching Legend, he has already provoked the Shadow Demon Queen. Maybe I can beat a few more powerful demons with him in the future!
The Messenger of Mercy also chose to say goodbye and leave. Although he responded to Li Wei immediately every time, it did not mean that he was really free.
After seeing them off, Li Wei asked his subordinates to take a break and provide supplies.
He then asked Sefa, Donna and others to discuss how to allocate regular loot to Kyle and the others.
No matter what they think in their hearts, every time they follow you into battle, they work very hard.
Therefore, both emotionally and logically, Li Wei should give them sufficiently generous rewards to make them stronger and allow their entire family to regain their strength as soon as possible.
By then, their usefulness to themselves will inevitably become greater, which is a matter of mutual benefit.
He himself looked through the system records.
Then he discovered that after fighting this battle, Sally and others with lower levels in the team had all been upgraded, but his experience points had not increased much.
Because a large part of it was taken away by the Fury of the Whirlwind.
According to the system prompts, when she appears in the main world, she is normally a level 26 special legend, and the experience points she consumes are not ordinary.
Comparing the two, this shows the generosity of the Messenger of Mercy, and his symbolic reward is not worth mentioning at all.
After feeling a little emotional, Levi also contacted Lilith directly and handed the fragment of the priesthood to her first.
Probably because they were already familiar with each other, Lilith didn't even show up this time, only a slender hand stretched out from the portal.
And she's not empty-handed. It contains knowledge from many fields of the Shepherd Pan, a bit of divinity, and nine volumes of Nagash. She has already prepared it in advance!
