Chapter 226: Demon Lord
An Yizhi got the pages of 5 copies of the Book of the Dead, except for a limited number of people in this world, there should be no one in this world who understands the characteristics of the Book of the Dead better than him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At first glance, these pages look plain and unremarkable, just high-end old paper, but in fact they are extremely large carriers of magical power.
Souls can be used as energy, which can be converted into magical energy through some special means.
For example, Mirmenir, who had previously absorbed his soul by the Clay Tablet Book to recharge himself, is a recent example.
But the magic that the pages of the Book of the Dead can hold is staggering.
It's not hard to see this when you reminisce about Ann's access to the first two pages, where the Shadow Order uses millions of souls to recharge it to find other pages through connections in the underworld.
Millions! What a lot of magic that would translate to! Just one page can fit easily and still not reach the limit.
But what's the use of having a lot of magic? When the battery?
No, according to the previous experience of magic circles, anything with powerful magic power can be used as the eye of the magic circle, that is, the part that makes up the most critical point of the entire magic circle.
In other words, the page beneath the Misty Forest wasn't just sealed by the Dryad hero, it served as a seal for something else, or a mission to exist.
This design is quite ingenious, because the Book of the Dead without a title page and cover, the pages will slowly pass away the magic inside over time, and instead of wasting this magic power, it should be used as an array to seal another being, so that not only the pages of the Book of the Dead will be sealed, but it can also kill two birds with one stone.
As for what it sealed, An Yizhi also guessed a little.
If the frightening flight of the beasts was frightened by the necromantic aura emanating from the pages of the Book of the Dead, then killing each other only suggests that something was behind it.
And the only existence that can affect the will of such a large number of living beings, and can pollute the spring water and cause the trees to wither, is ......
"Elph, is there any pattern to withered plants?"
"Uh...... I want to think about it."
They hadn't thought about it in this regard, and Elph thought about it for a moment and said:
"Star Sword Grass, the King Tree, and this fruit tree we gathered"
She was talking about the fruit tree that produced a fruit tree shaped like a peach peel and an orange.
"Are some plants not only not wilting, but also growing more luxuriantly?"
"You know why? It's true that some plants have become more lush, and they are mostly poisonous hallucinogenic plants."
It's pretty much certain, but it needs to be confirmed. An pointed to Hela on his shoulder, who thoughtfully searched the database and said:
"Both the Star Sword Grass and the King Tree have high medicinal properties, and the kind of tree fruit that the tree elves often eat is called the gift of the sun by the local farmers, and can only be found at the top of the tree, and it also has medicinal properties, and can be used to make potions."
"What potions can they be used to make potions?"
"Healing agents, removing negative energy agents, protecting negative energy agents, and detoxifying agents"
"Sure enough......"
An knew that the epic task was definitely not as simple as the pages of the Book of the Dead.
"What do you know?"
Elph asked eagerly, she couldn't help but be in a hurry, this was about the misty forest where they had lived for generations.
"I'm still unsure of the intentions of the other Dryads to rally their armies, but I think I can guess what the mutation beneath the Misty Forest is."
Ann pointed a finger, and he said:
"It's a demon, a very powerful demon, it should have the level of a lord"
"What!"
Elph stood up in surprise, she couldn't believe that there was a demon lord hidden beneath the land of her people for generations!
The level range of demons also varies greatly, from the weakest abyssal worm to the powerful Barlow Flame Demon, and its level range is very large. And the Baro Flame Demon is not the end, these are just demon races, and the standard for measuring strength is far from being so easy to understand.
Demons are disorderly, chaotic, full of evil and murder, betrayal and conspiracy are everywhere, but that doesn't mean that demons don't have a class.
The Endless Abyss is a very special plane, its first level is connected to the Nine Hells of the Devil, while the rest of it is occupied by both demonic and evil gods, such as the dark elves' evil spider god Rose.
Those demons who rule the 'first layer' of hell must be super powerful, because demons only obey the stronger, and they are called demon lords.
Above these lords, there are even stronger demons, these are the Abyss Triumvirate, the three powerful demons that make the gods and Buddhas helpless, the Demon Lord Demogogan, the Eom Monarch Grazt, and the mortal-transformed necromantic demon Auros.
However, our protagonist hasn't met these big guys for the time being, so I won't expand on it in detail for the time being, and continue to talk about the mutations in the Misty Forest.
Those who can affect the sanity of living beings are generally evil creatures from the lower planes, that is, demons and demons.
Star Sword Grass. The King Tree, which these plants can use to make potions against negative energy, shows that they are more sensitive to evil, and compared to the devil who knows how to restrain himself, only undisguised demons will make the spring water poisonous and the plant wither.
Not only that, but it doesn't feel like a simple side effect for animals to kill each other, and there are precedents for chaotic evil demons to gain power through the ritual of blind killing. Jean pointed a little further to confirm that a demon had been sealed under the Misty Forest.
Moreover, the strength of this demon is by no means comparable to that of a cat or a dog, judging from the appearance of Elph's narration, he is at least a lord-level demon.
I'm really a little curious about how the Tree Elf hero sealed such a strong demon in the first place, and I heard Hela say that they were already great mages who could release C-class spells in their time.
However, no matter how he did it, after thousands of years, his seal has become precarious, it may be that the magic of the Book of the Dead is running out, or it may be that something accidentally broke the seal, or it may be that someone did it on purpose, but in any case, the day when the demon breaks the seal will not be too long, considering the time limit of the task prompted by the system, a little calculation will come to the conclusion that the time for the demon to completely get rid of the seal should be after 28 days of game time, after all, the task will automatically fail at that time.
For nearly a month, Ann Yizhi had to find a way to kill the demon lord in this time if he wanted to complete this task.
After all, but how easy is it to say?
The challenge level of the demon lord is usually as high as 70, and a team of players with an average level of four people of 70 can fight against it, and An Yizhi is only level 20 now, which is not enough for people to blow in one breath, not to mention that this task cannot be completed in a team, and the participants only have An Yizhi himself.
Perhaps, rather than destroying, resealing is the most likely option.
It is much easier to strengthen or rearrange the seal before the Demon Lord breaks the seal, than it is to destroy him.
After thinking about it for a moment, An Yizhi said:
"Did you tell Ms. Emerald about this?"
Elph shook her head:
"No, besides, my status in the Emerald Tower is relatively low, and I can't see the Emerald Lady at all."
This task must have been beyond the scope of the current many people's ability, and the demon with a challenge level of 70 appeared in the Misty Forest, even if Leslie took all the treants together, he was not an opponent, and eighty percent would be dismantled and burned as firewood.
"The situation is very serious, the appearance of the Demon Lord in this position is a threat to everyone, this is not just a threat to the Dryad Clan, we must unite more forces"
"But where are we going to find it? Can you contact Master Nikolai? ”
If Nikolai could indeed easily kill the Demon Lord, he felt that with his strength, he would be able to fight against the Big Three of the Abyss.
Ann pointed to Hela, who said that he could not reach Nikolai either.
That's the biggest problem, Nikolai is different from other strong people, this thing is crazy, obviously it is difficult to find his exact location or contact him.
"You don't have to rush too much, I guess the seal will last for a while."
He comforted Elph with a sad face, but such a simple comfort might not help.
"I can't contact Nikolai, but I should be able to meet Jescord"
These words rekindled Elph's hope, yes, Nicolas and Jascord could not be contacted!
Jaskode's strength is not bad, although he has not fought Nikolai head-on, but both of them are among the strongest spellcasters in the mortal world, and they should be able to deal with the demon lord.
And what is Jescord, who is pinned on by Ann's hope, doing? Let's rewind the clock a little bit.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The original terrain is no longer visible around the tranquil coastal town, and the traces of powerful spells are still as clear as new.
The peaks were razed, the roads were completely destroyed, the farmland was completely unrevisible, and the surrounding terrain seemed to have been reshaped, except for the town that had been protected by the mages who had set up a magic circle.
It all started with a battle.
The battle of three spellcasters against three devils.
"Phew!"
Jescord raised his middle finger at the devil who had closed the portal in a hurry:
"If you don't accept it, come again! Lao Tzu can fight for a few more rounds! ”
And the devils didn't even dare to let out a fart, as if they were being chased by dogs, and closed the portal and ran away without looking back, for fear that this old rascal would come to the Nine Hells through the portal to trouble them.
Beside him, there were two people floating, they were the Jade Lady and the Mystic Sage.
However, from this, it can be seen that the difference in strength between the three of them, Ms. Jade has consumed a lot, and her forehead is covered with dense sweat, she definitely doesn't have the strength to come back for a few hundred more rounds. The arcane sage is similar, and there are still traces of negative energy erosion on his arm, obviously a little injured.
Only Jeskode was the most energetic in the audience, not to mention a few hundred rounds of him like that, it was not a problem for him to kill those devils alone, and the one he scolded was full of energy, and he couldn't see his old state at all.
But the fact that he didn't catch up is telling, there is only one Nikolai in the world who dares to argue with the gods, and Jeskod is worse than him.
"Don't scream, save your energy"
Listening to Jaskode's scolding become more and more ugly, the arcane sage, who was already tired, became even more upset.
"These grandsons just owe scolding, what about your arms?"
"It's okay, I can't die, I can't do anything with people for a month, Tina is more serious than me"
The Mystic Sage was right, Lady Jade's consumption was too great, and it would take her longer to regain her strength.
The devil's strong enemy who had just repelled the invasion should have been happy, but during this time, the bigwigs of the Three Towers Alliance may not be able to do it again until they fully recover, and Jascord vaguely feels that something big will happen in the near future.
Sure enough, the next second he received a report from the head of the testing ground, Lich Tyrod.
"Boss, Ann Yizhi that kid has run into something big again, this time it may be a demon lord"
Jeskode couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, this troublemaker!
