Chapter 360 Ankylosaurus Fortress(1/2)
Although the Nightmare Riders and the others still did not relax their vigilance, Luna, Xiao Tian and others jointly attacked after being well prepared, and still easily killed these scouts without leaving a single person alive.
However, as he continued to approach the ruins of the temple and felt the rhythmless vibrations on the ground, Levi knew that something unexpected had happened in such a short period of time after he lost sight of the place.
This vibration can be felt from such a distance. Either there are powerful earth spells used by both warring parties, or there is some kind of super large monster appearing!
The distance of several miles passed in an instant, but before they really got close to the battlefield, Li Wei and the others quickly discovered the target.
It's not that their eyesight is too good, it's because the other person is really big.
The first is a multi-headed humanoid monster composed of various kinds of soil, stones, metals and scattered gems, more than ten meters high, and looks like some kind of giant earth element.
But their strength is obviously far better than ordinary earth elements, because at this moment they are wreaking havoc in the devil's formation.
No matter it is the blood-armored demon or those devil heroes, they are vulnerable to their attacks and cannot even maintain their formation.
This has nothing to do with their military discipline. In fact, under their heavy blows, ordinary devils will often be knocked back ten or even dozens of meters even if they do not die on the spot.
Moreover, every attack they make can cause damage to the devils in a small area, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the devils' battle formations.
But what really caught everyone's attention was a behemoth that was forty to fifty meters long and about 15 meters high.
At first glance, its appearance is somewhat similar to that of an Ankylosaurus, but no one can misunderstand it, because the parts that make up its body are actually the remains of the temple just now!
At this time, many devil heroes either burrowed under its belly and circled, or flew into the air to cast various spells. However, although they could hit the rocks, the damage was insignificant to such a behemoth.
So it completely ignored these attacks, and just cooperated with the multi-headed earth element monster to attack the remaining demon army.
Almost every time he stamped his feet, more than a dozen demons could be trampled into flesh. The shock that Li Wei and the others felt before came from this.
Its impact is so powerful that it can disperse large swaths of clouds and mist without the need for light magic.
To say it is a monster, it is better to say it is some kind of powerful war fortress that looks like an Ankylosaurus.
Its defense is not particularly powerful. Every attack by the devil heroes can knock down large pieces of gravel from it. But with such a large size, its health value must be in the tens of thousands, right?
Seeing such a scene, Levi naturally stopped his troops for the first time. No matter how many ordinary low- and mid-level units there are, it is meaningless in front of the opponent. He, Cindy and other heroic-level units that can fly will take the field.
After quickly glancing at the huge pit with a radius of several hundred meters, and confirming that there was nothing inside, Levi tried to observe the opponent's attack method.
But before she could see any pattern, Cindy next to her was startled and felt something was wrong.
"Brother Levi, look at those devil heroes, are they circling around this big guy's head?"
Li Wei took a look, and sure enough, although they were avoiding, they were still surrounding the head of the Ankylosaurus Fortress, as if there was something particularly attractive to them.
After thinking for a while, Levi began to formulate candidates for the battle, but the main ones were him, Cindy, and several high-level angels who had been staying by her side.
Then there are Dirge and Alduin riding griffons. The two of them are not very good at mounted combat or aerial combat, but as powerful combat heroes, they can still play support.
As for Luna, Naer and others, their main task is to eliminate the demons that may escape later while avoiding their own casualties as much as possible.
If all the devils in the dungeon can be killed in advance, although those big guys will be difficult to deal with, as long as they are given enough time, they will surely be able to find some means to crack it sooner or later.
Almost at the same time that he was about to give the formal order, he saw the Ankylosaurus Fortress suddenly making a move of looking up to the sky and roaring.
No sound came out, only a spherical object mixed with countless mist and phantoms, hanging in the air like a small sun.
While the large fog was dispelled, a large number of chaotic phantoms also emerged from it.
There are humans, monsters, angels, demons or demons among them, and unlike the low-quality phantoms that could be seen almost everywhere before, they are extremely lifelike, almost like mirror images of reality.
Levi was immediately overjoyed, because looking at the other party's performance, he knew that it was definitely not ordinary. It was probably the treasure in this copy. Could it be the divinity of the Phantom Goddess?
But soon the screams of several demons started to sound. When he saw the dripping blood all over their bodies, Levi realized that those phantoms also had attack power.
He immediately screamed in his heart and immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.
Because these phantoms have no intention of distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, they surge in all directions like a tide, and our own side will soon be attacked!
At this time, the system prompt also popped up: "After experiencing enough blood and death, the mysterious treasure here has appeared, but if you want to truly obtain it or conquer it, you still need to do more."
Is this a special sacrificial ceremony?
Although the Phantom Goddess Leila is not an evil god, there is nothing wrong with using this method.
For the gods, boiling blood, desperate death, or unwilling souls can all become a type of energy.
This idea came to Levi's mind for the first time, but then he noticed a certain sentence in the system prompt.
Obtaining or conquering are likely to be two completely different ways, and the things obtained are likely to be very different accordingly.
If enough sacrifices can be made to obtain it, then there seems to be only one possibility to truly conquer it, and that is to destroy the Ankylosaurus fortress.
But first, what they have to do is survive this almost endless phantom.
At this time, as the fog gradually dissipated, a certain devil hero in mid-air also noticed the existence of Levi and the others.
It was a little surprised at first, but soon it became a little angry, because it was ashamed.
As the devil clan that is best at conspiracy, it was actually deceived by some elves?
"Damned elves, you are simply more disgusting than the most despicable demons!"
As it opened its mouth, other devil heroes also noticed Levi's presence.
Their moods and expressions also changed one after another. For devils, basically there are no fools who can grow to the level of heroes, so they all realized what happened.
But they didn't have much chance to insult them, because the phantoms all over the sky had already descended and attacked them.
Similarly, Levi had no time to respond to each other, because swarms of phantoms had arrived and attacked them and the devil equally.
Although these phantoms are very fragile and almost break when touched, and Levi's Ice Storm can kill hundreds of phantoms with one shot, there are simply too many of them.
And they can fly, so they can attack all their own units almost at the same time. No matter it is the Silver Guards or flying troops such as Xiao Tian, they are unable to intercept them for a while.
More importantly, they have extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. Unless they are enchanted weapons, the sharp claws of griffins and giant eagles are unable to defeat each other.
Their attacks are some kind of special magic attacks. Although the damage is not particularly high, conventional physical defenses are almost completely ineffective.
Only certain protective magics, or the enchanted shields and armor of the Silver Light Guards, can effectively resist it.
The situation was very critical for a while, and a large number of injured people quickly appeared on Levi's side. It was all up to Levi, Cindy, Sally and Lily and other legal troops to maintain the situation.
It can be expected that within 2 minutes, the priests and druids will have more mana than they can make ends meet. After losing their treatment, the situation will take a turn for the worse and one side will suffer massive casualties.
Neither Cindy's magic nor Donna's arrows could touch the phantom ball in mid-air, as if it didn't exist at all.
Li Wei also probably understood that perhaps he would not be able to touch it until he actually sacrificed it or conquered it.
Perhaps it feels that its battle with the devil consumes too much time, so it wants to use this method to speed up the process.
Either acquire it or conquer it, or be swallowed up by its endless phantoms!
As the battle continued, the devils quickly suffered a large number of casualties, and the situation on Li Wei's side was not optimistic either.
But at the critical moment, Li Wei became more and more calm, and soon had some new speculations.
How are the characteristics of these phantoms similar to those of ghosts and other incorporeal creatures?
And because their HP is extremely fragile, in this case, maybe you can change your tactics.
So he no longer used offensive magic, but instead used a large amount of protective magic on the strongest griffins, and then put some translucent protection on them, and let them rise into the sky to take the initiative.
Attract the other person's attention.
Reaction Spirit Armor (Level 3), if there is a direct contact attack from an incorporeal body such as a ghost, the attacker will suffer a certain amount of positional damage (based on the caster's intelligence and level).
Seeing them voluntarily leaving the battle formation, the phantom group, which only possessed the most rudimentary combat intelligence, immediately rushed towards them like piranhas smelling the smell of blood.
Then they all crashed to death on the reaction spirit armor.
Their attacks are not enough to harm the griffons at this moment, but the counter-injury effect of the magic can easily kill them.
In this way, the pressure on the frontal battlefield was instantly relieved a lot.
Levi suddenly laughed, and he began to continuously cast the same magic on Cindy, Xiaotian and the angels, asking them to take the initiative to attract the phantom's attention.
As a relatively unsophisticated level 3 magic, it was the first time since he learned it in the Underdark that it truly showed its value.
However, there were endless phantoms in mid-air, and blindly defending was not a long-term solution after all, so after being able to maintain the battle formation, Levi decided to take the initiative.
He wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill all those devil heroes, and then kill the huge Ankylosaurus fortress and completely conquer the mysterious treasure!
This time he did not choose to ride a griffin, but used flying because he was preparing to use the second magic trick.
Reactive spirit armor is only passive defense, but what he wants is active attack.
As he cast the spell, surging flames were released from his body from the inside out. For a moment, he was like an enlarged burning man. The phantoms around him were so burned by the flames that they often couldn't really get close to him.
It turned into nothingness first.
This is the level 4 magic - the flame protection of the Balor Fire Demon. Because of this, he can no longer ride the griffon, because this magic cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy independently.
Of course, in order to avoid any accidents, he still asked Cindy and the angels to accompany him and headed straight for the head of the Ankylosaurus Fortress.
The ball that can release phantoms has already flown into the air, but these devil heroes are still lingering around it. Some even landed on its back and head. What on earth are they doing?
At the same time, considering the possibility of a battle on the head of the Ankylosaurus Fortress, Dirge and Alduin followed each other on griffins.
Anyway, now they can't play a big role in dealing with these countless phantoms. They might as well switch to a war hammer that they are better at.
So they were seen flying all the way, and wherever they passed, countless phantoms seemed to be wiped out of thin air and disappeared one after another.
Levi was still thinking about sighing, and he didn't know whether these phantoms were pure magic or some kind of monster.
To be continued...
