(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone! Happy National Day!)
Valsaris's defeat did not involve an "advanced teleportation spell", but a "mantra of return" to teleport directly back to his lair.
It's not that she can't do it.
If it were just a person, she could easily retreat.
But the number of people who retreated with her was quite large.
Moreover, those who are still closely following her at this time are her confidants and her capable subordinates.
The importance she attaches to these close subordinates is far higher than those of the Baatetz devils.
She was not prepared to give up these positions unless necessary.
And because Leylin-Evans and others did not come after them, there was no need for her to abandon these confidants and teleport away alone.
That's why.
The retreat this way is a bit time-consuming.
Even though they passed through several secret magic gates on the way, they did not wait for Valsaris to retreat back to her lair.
On Lismaiasa's side, she has generally recovered from fatigue, exhaustion, and her injuries.
Although the casualties in this battle were extremely heavy, Lismaiasa's side was extremely abundant in terms of the preliminary preparations for the war resources.
Especially the Black Staff Tower and the Dark Maiden Corridor, the corresponding magic resources and medical resources are all prepared beyond the standard.
When the war came to an end for the time being, Leylin-Evans and the others were quickly tracking Valsaris' escape route.
Since there were people there, medical resources were immediately mobilized.
A large number of healing potions and magical scrolls were quickly used.
Get rid of fatigue!
Refresh your energy!
Treat the injury!
Remove abnormal status!
Even severed limbs can be regenerated!
It can be said that, except for the "resurrection" that is currently restricted and requires divine intervention, which cannot be carried out directly, various magical resources are being used at all costs.
Following this, everyone's condition recovery and injury recovery couldn't be faster.
Valsaris didn't even retreat to his lair.
The warriors who had recovered, but were more and more eager for revenge, gathered around Leylin Evans and others.
However, they can be eager, Leylin Evans and Laila, but they don't have any impulse.
Although the damage to Valsaris was huge this time, they naturally did not think that there would be no defense force in her lair.
Especially, Mephistopheles is right over there.
Once they faced off against the Hell Demon King, they needed someone to entangle him and enough spellcasters to cooperate in performing high-magic rituals. This would be even more difficult.
Therefore, before chasing after them, it was necessary for them to have a thorough enough plan first, not only to make it difficult for Mephistopheles to call in more demonic armies, but also to have the opportunity to get into trouble.
, or even prepare for failure, so as not to fall into a situation where the escape route is cut off!
Fortunately, it was them who attacked this time.
It would not be like the previous battle where we had to hold on and the casualties could not be controlled.
"The target of our raid is only Mephistopheles."
"As long as this Hell Demon King can be expelled back to hell, Valsaris won't be able to waste any time."
"So, this time we can be more flexible in our advance and retreat..."
Without being secretive or avoiding anything, Laila and others were observing Valsaris's escape while discussing and arranging the action plan.
After the previous battle, it was impossible for the people around him to have any more spies or traitors.
She will no longer take any deliberate avoidance or precautionary measures.
"Kui Lu and I will use high magic rituals to solve Mephistopheles, but there are three major problems!"
"First of all, in order to ensure that the ceremony can proceed smoothly, we must try our best not to get into a melee. At least we must lure Mephistopheles to show up before entering the melee, so that we can have a suitable spellcasting environment and designation.
The target of the spell..."
"Secondly, the ritual requires 27 spell-casting assistants, and from preparation to completion, it takes at least about 10 seconds of preparation and casting time. During this period, the ritual cannot be destroyed, and the opposite spell must be guarded against.
Attack, but also be prepared for teleportation attacks from demons..."
"Finally, during the ceremony, for Mephistopheles, it is necessary to restrict his teleportation and retreat, or even force him to be unable to perform 'legendary dispelling' to resist the ceremony..."
Laila had been studying Mephistopheles for a long time, and one thing followed another.
However, in her voice, Leylin Evans, Seer Hill and others all had expressions of frown.
If it is said that Mephistopheles can be lured to show up, this is still possible.
If you create 10 seconds of preparation and operation time for the ceremony, it is not hopeless if you work hard.
But to limit Mephistopheles' teleportation ability, or even force it, it would be difficult to even use "Legendary Dispelling", at least it would be difficult to use it against high-magic rituals...
His eyes slightly wrinkled, and after much consideration, Leylin Evans finally shook his head: "I have some confidence in inducing Mephistopheles to show up.
But to prevent the opponent's spell attacks and teleportation attacks, we can only do our best.
As for restraining Mephistopheles..."
After his voice paused for a moment, he did not continue, but the deep frown said everything.
Not to mention that Mephistopheles couldn't even use the "Legendary Dispelling Technique", even if Mephistopheles' teleportation ability was restricted, he still had no confidence.
Although the total professional level has reached level 29, the position of "Elven Sword Mage" has given him strong enough melee combat capabilities, and he can even guide the casting of spells through swordsmanship. Moreover, he is not like ordinary spell casters.
, once the armor is equipped, some spell casting actions may be affected, and the spell casting may fail. However, with the appointment of the "Elf Sword Mage", he can still equip light armor and cast spells without any influence.
, it is precisely these advantages that in the previous battle, even if he was surrounded and killed by many high-level demons, he was not afraid, and even fought back forcefully, but...corresponding to these advantages, "Elf
The appointment of "Sword Master" also weakened him in some aspects.
There are no obvious weaknesses in the two skills of swordsmanship. If you look at it from another angle...
no doubt.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, he would definitely not be as good as a level 29 Elf Swordsman.
In terms of spells alone, he can hardly compete with the level 29 Elf Archmage.
The level 10 "Elf Sword Mage" is above the caster level, but he has lost five levels!
In other words, his actual caster level is only level 24.
At this caster level, even if he has the expertise of "Advanced Spell Penetration", but...
He can pose a threat to the Hell Fiends, he can fight a group of them one by one, and even make Valsaris escape in panic, but...
Raylin-Evans knew it.
At this level of caster, his spells may not pose much of a threat to Mephistopheles.
The same goes for swordsmanship.
Mephistopheles is the second-ranked Lord of Cania among the Nine Lords of Hell!
Facing a demon king of this level, Leylin Evans really didn't have any confidence that he could pose a threat to him with pure swordsmanship, let alone restrict him!
And all this...
When the real decisive battle came, he didn't have any enthusiasm and irrationality to save the impossible task!
On the contrary, Leylin Evans is quite sincere, understanding the importance of this action and the possible consequences once the high magic ritual is interrupted!
"As long as He shows up, someone will catch Him!"
"At that time, you just need to help and prevent unexpected situations as much as possible!"
Laila said this.
Leylin Evans and Prophet Hill were naturally moved in their hearts.
Especially Raylin Evans.
Laila doesn't exaggerate on purpose.
Since Laila said that someone would catch Mephistopheles, then this person...
With just a thought in his mind, Leylin Evans quickly thought of several names.
There was no doubt that the two people he had directly encountered during his time in the Lost City were possible.
Needless to say about the level of power, the same goes for the purpose.
Hellast still casts spells on him, which shows that the mad mage has always paid attention to this matter.
And that mysterious person is also unpredictable. Even now, when Leylin Evans looks back, he is still an archmage whose levels are completely unclear...
"It should have a close relationship with Kui Lu."
"Given how much Kui Lu pays attention to this area, the possibility of her taking action may be even greater than that of Hellast!"
In addition, it is not ruled out whether Laila and Kui Lu also invited people like Kelben and Minnis.
With this thought, Leylin Evans put away his frown and nodded: "Since Madam, you have already made arrangements, it is the best. In this case, we will determine the candidates to participate in such an action!"
But there is no question who will take action.
Leylin-Evans directly entered into the selection of candidates for the action, which was also the determining step in terms of the number of people.
At this moment, they are not in a hurry to pursue Elsharis. This is actually because their first choice is not to pursue Valsaris along his escape route.
The reason why this route is recorded is just for insurance.
The real first choice is to use the "Mirror of Omniscient" tracking to pinpoint the location.
Then, the "advanced teleportation technique" is used to directly release personnel.
The record of the route is just to prevent the "advanced teleportation technique" from being hindered, even confused, and ending in teleportation failure. This is just an extra layer of insurance!
And because the number of people that can be released by "Advanced Teleportation Technique" is limited, and Lismaiasa's side, whether it is to continue to defend or temporarily transfer, considering those teenagers and children who are hidden, this is obviously not possible.
All require manpower arrangements.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for everyone to invest in this action.
Everyone around them is aware of this.
Laila, who leads the Black Staff Tower mage group.
Kuilu and Cavatina, who lead the followers of Eilistraee,
Dunant, who represented the support of Waterdeep, also included Leylin Evans.
In addition, Seer Seer who leads Lismaiasa.
People from these aspects quickly started a discussion.
It's them who are settling down the arrangements and layouts one after another in an orderly manner.
The situation in Valsaris has always been clearly reflected. In the magic mirror, a dark, yet mysterious and magnificent city was reflected.
Valsaris' lair has arrived!
Everyone looked at each other in unison, and then they gathered over.
But not before they took a closer look.
Suddenly, in the dark scene, a blazing flame shone brightly.
The next moment, the reflection of the dungeon in the magic mirror was directly interrupted.
"Hell Demon Flame!"
"It's Mephistopheles!"
"He's aware of our tracking!"
The first person to change color was Leylin Evans.
Directly manipulating the "Mirror of Omniscient" to track Valsaris, he could feel the evil and scorching heat of the blazing flame, which must be Mephistopheles's hell flame!
Isaac is also very certain about this.
He has also been exposed to hellfire.
No matter in the early years, he tried to attack the green of nature, but was ambushed by him. In the end, he was the great devil who was promoted to the deep hell fiend that he destroyed.
It was recently that we had contact with the tiefling psychic Magadon.
This is the power related to "Hell Fire" that Kudu controls.
Therefore, he is naturally no stranger to "Hellfire".
The blazing brilliance reflected in the magic mirror must be "hell fire"!
However, with the power of "Hellfire", Mephistopheles may be able to forcibly block the magic mirror from detecting his own person, but this should not hinder other aspects.
At this time, even the dungeon has completely separated from the reflection in the magic mirror!
"It should be the power of the domain!"
"He is using the power of the 'prophecy field'!"
"Only with the power of the 'Prophecy Domain', he can directly interrupt the magic mirror's detection without anyone noticing!"
This thought flashed through Isaac's mind.
This judgment actually verified the accuracy of the information provided by Kui Lu.
Mephistopheles has the main field of "Knowledge Field"!
And since the magic mirror cannot directly detect the situation in that dungeon...
"We set up the teleportation point in the tunnel outside the city, so we chose that iconic stone forest area."
"Do you have any questions?"
The performance of advanced teleportation requires a clear location or a clear understanding of the situation.
There is no doubt that the stone forest area is exactly what impresses people, making it easier to locate and teleport!
"Can!"
"In that case, let's divide our work and see you outside the stone forest!"
Laila said, waving her hand and taking out several high-level scrolls.
Naturally, they are all "advanced teleportation scrolls".
Before her trip to Lismaiasa, Laila was already quite well prepared for such resources.
