Chapter 633

"The flesh and blood essence of the Balor Balrog!"

Athena's eyes were blank, she didn't realize it for a while, how to use this thing to advance to the holy rank? Immediately, he stood up and looked at Izzet, thinking that he was the minion of the abyss.

Not many people know about demon hunters nowadays, even fewer among giants.

"Athena, don't get me wrong, Izzet is a demon hunter." Raistlin explained calmly.

Now it was Izzet's turn to be surprised. The drow elf's dark face froze, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You know?"

"Hehe..." Raistlin laughed noncommittally.

Izzet's expression became wonderful.

He has lived on the surface for decades, and has always been disguised as a ranger to contact people and fight side by side. Only two or three of his closest and most reliable friends know that he is a demon hunter. He had intended to wait until he had revealed his plan before explaining the secret to them.

Unexpectedly, Raistlin seemed to have seen through it long ago.

This made Izzet startled secretly, wondering if there was something wrong with his disguise, or if Raistlin's perception was far beyond ordinary.

However, the stronger Raistlin's strength, the better, and it would be more helpful to his plan.

"Demon hunter?" Athena was puzzled.

The giantess grew up in the Temple of Storms and read many books, but there were only a few mentions of demon hunters in the giant's book collection, and the giant didn't care much about elves, so her understanding of demon hunters was limited to knowing , but not in depth.

Izzet explained: "When I escaped from Menzoberranzan and fled in the Underdark, I met a high elf. He saved my life, taught me fighting skills, and guided me to become a demon hunter. Follow the path of faith in Elna."

"I have been with my teacher for several years. Without his guidance, I would not be able to survive in the Underdark, let alone reach the surface."

"pity……"

The dark elf's mood was depressed, and there was sadness in his eyes, "I met the teacher too late, I only got along with him for a few years, and he left many old wounds on his body because of hunting demons all the year round, which couldn't be healed, and even his soul was destroyed. Injured, exhausted life and passed away."

"I'm sorry." Athena whispered.

Raistlin remained expressionless.

"It doesn't matter, the teacher is the most devout believer of Elna. He has protected so many people and killed countless demons all his life. He must have ascended to the kingdom of the goddess. Maybe I will have the opportunity to see him again in the future." Izzet did not indulge in grief , but a bit fascinated.

What a sentimental elf, Raistlin complained.

"Tell me about your plan."

"good."

Izzet cheered up, and said seriously: "I have been stuck at the peak of legend for twenty years, and I need the flesh and blood essence of a demon lord to break through the bottleneck. For this reason, I searched for seven years before I found a suitable target. Balor of Dunmerfur."

"Durmore?"

Athena thought back, "Isn't that in the hinterland of the New World?"

"Ms. Athena remembers correctly." Izzy said with a smile: "If you want to find a demon lord, the easiest place is naturally to enter the abyss. But hunting the demon lord in the abyss is too dangerous, and I dare not Deep, so it can only be found in the New World.”

Raistlin had already opened the map of the New World on the phone interface.

Dunmore is located in the south-central part of the New World, a little to the west, about one-third of the way, separated from Albert Bay by two mountains, and the distance between the two is about 3,000 miles.

The overall terrain of the New World is northwest-southeast, with a vast frozen wasteland in the north; mountains and plateaus in the west, with high terrain; and flat rivers in the southeast, fertile and wild.

During the third era, the dwarves and the elves divided the New World. It happened that the dwarves liked to live in the high mountains and dangerous peaks, and they landed from the west coast, so they occupied about one-third of the west coast to the hinterland. The rest of the eastern great plain was filled with elves. territory.

Mountains and plains became the natural dividing line between the two ethnic groups.

Dunmore is just on this dividing line, at the foot of the "Rockchis Mountains" that run through the entire continent from north to south, where the dwarves once built a city.

In the middle of the third era, after the relationship between the two tribes eased slightly, Dunmerfort became a trade transfer point for the two tribes because of its superior geographical location and being on the main road of traffic, and gradually developed into one of the most prosperous cities of the dwarves in the New World. First, the population and economy can be ranked among the top five.

At the end of the era, the abyss invaded.

Dunmerfur was one of the first cities to be destroyed by the demonic hordes, almost completely destroyed by fire, and few of its inhabitants escaped alive. In the later "Great Earthquake", Dunmore was closer to the epicenter, and the ruins of the entire city sank into the ground, and have since disappeared into the long river of history.

Today's Dunmore is just a geographical term, referring to the once prosperous plateau area.

After the great earthquake, the New World was completely reduced to the territory of demons.

The gates of the abyss stood tall on the earth, and endless evil energy erupted from the abyss, polluting the earth and covering the sky.

Countless beasts, spirits and races mutated after being polluted by evil energy and became monsters.

Demon lairs are formed where monsters gather and reproduce.

There are demon nests all over the new continent, and the deeper you go to the hinterland, the more and denser the monsters will be. They are just vassal slaves of the demon army. The demon lair is centered on the gate of the abyss, forming a network of fel energy covering the new continent. The ultimate goal is to transform the new continent into a layer of the abyss.

There are a large number of demons stationed around each abyss gate.

The higher the level of the gate of the abyss, the more demons guarding it, and the stronger the strength.

As early as hundreds of years ago, someone sneaked into Dunmerfur and found a large abyss gate, which led to no one knew which layer of the abyss.

This large abyss gate is guarded by demon lords.

The demon lord and his demon army and monsters control a large area near the gate of the abyss, which is equivalent to its territory.

As expected, the Ballow that Izzet chose was the guardian of the gate of the abyss.

Raistlin shook his head slowly.

"Hunting and killing demon lords in the New World is not as dangerous as in the abyss, but this is a Barlow demon, the most powerful demon in purgatory, the pinnacle of the evolution of the burning demon, not only powerful but also masters many spells, if With just the three of us, the risk is too great."

"Besides," Raistlin said flatly, "you're just leading the way in the Underdark, so it's not worth our risk for you."

Athena also nodded cautiously.

It's true that she came out to take risks, but she wasn't looking for death.

Who hasn't heard of Balor Balrog? Ever since this terrifying demon appeared in Ellen Erth, it has caused countless killings for tens of thousands of years.

They were born on the elemental plane of fire, and were originally just a kind of elemental creature, that is, the Balrog.

It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, the Lord of Darkness took a fancy to Balrogs, captured them into the abyss, and transformed them into the first batch of Balrogs with unimaginable power, becoming one of his most loyal and powerful minions.

Any Balolo has the strength of a holy rank. There are several layers of lords in the abyss who are Balolo. The best of them have lived for tens of thousands of years. Weaker gods.

What's more, the Barlow Balrog never acts alone, and there is a huge demon army by his side.

Raistlin glanced at Athena and secretly praised her.

She is bargaining with herself.

Izzet was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "If I successfully hunt down this Balor, I am very sure that I will be promoted to the holy rank. At that time, no matter what purpose you have in going to the illithid city, besides leading the way, I will , and promised to guarantee your safety."

Reis wants to look away, which is a good promise.

If what Izzet said is true, there are holy spellcasters among the illithids, and he and Athena really can't handle it. Although you can ask the teacher for help, and your own body can take a risk, but this is a bad strategy and there are a lot of troubles.

But he didn't comment right away.

Izzet had no choice but to continue: "I only need the flesh and blood of Balor, and its demon soul can be your spoils of war. However, the souls of demons killed by me will be shattered, and some of the soul fragments will remain It dissolves with the flesh and blood in the corpse, resulting in incomplete demon soul ingested."

"I know."

Raistlin nodded, thinking.

Demons cannot be killed outside the abyss, their souls will return to the abyss to be resurrected.

It has been more than 3,000 years since the New World fell. Even if there are demon hunters and humans who keep clearing the demon nests and destroying the evil energy network, it is only a drop in the bucket. Most of the New World is still polluted by evil energy, and the transformation has been completed.

These places are called Fel Wastes, and only monsters can survive for a long time.

The fel energy wasteland is already a part of the abyss, and belongs to the interior of the abyss. In the fel energy wasteland, demons can be truly killed and their souls absorbed.

If Izzet's plan is successful, Barlow Balrog's soul intake will not be a problem.

The problem is, it turns into soul shards.

Soul fragments are an important resource for demon hunters and demon hunters. They are used to enhance strength, make alchemy bombs or potions, and at critical moments, they can also swallow fragments of demon souls to greatly improve combat effectiveness.

He had already seen it when he and Roger exterminated the vampire's lair together.

This kind of incomplete soul will lose part of its elements, and the soul power contained is far less than that of a complete demon soul, so extraordinary people generally do not choose to fuse, and the value is greatly reduced. Of course, Demon Hunters and Demon Hunters can also choose not to use the "Small Soul" attack and keep the Demon Soul intact, but this will make the battle more difficult.

The only ones that have no influence are the wizards of the Fayin School.

The magic seal wizard originally wanted to strip the secret magic elements from the demon soul, make it into a magic seal, and then integrate it into his own soul.

As long as the required secret elements are still in the incomplete demon soul.

The Balrog is a demon lord, and its demon soul has many powerful elements, the most attractive of which is naturally the "Crown of the Balrog"!

This legendary element is the top fire element affinity element, which all fire elementalists dream of.

The value of a Balrog Crown Seal is inestimable.

Raistlin is a mage and cannot fuse the seal, but this does not affect the use of the crown of the Balrog. I can use the elements of the Balrog crown as the main material, arrange the rune array to cast the constant spell, and bless it on the body in the form of a constant spell, which is permanently effective.

This is the only way mages get the affinity effect.

Wizards can also use it, and they can also keep some protective spells.

Compared with the wizard's direct fusion of elements, the constant affinity effect has two disadvantages. One is that the constant has the risk of failure, and the other is that it will be canceled.

Once the failure material is gone, only one more material can be prepared.

There are two results for removing the constant. If it is suppressed by an anti-magic force field, or hit by an anti-magic ray, it will only be temporarily ineffective. After leaving the range of the force field or the duration of the spell ends, the constant effect will resume; if it is canceled by magic, Disintegration, ruby ​​reversal ray, such spells cancel the constant effect, and it can no longer be restored.

If the mage doesn't want the constant effect to be permanently removed, there is another way.

The already constant effect will form a corresponding element in the meditation space. It is different from the spell model built by the mage himself, and mana can be invested to solidify and stabilize it. Even after the constant effect is removed, as long as you pay the price of permanently losing this part of mana, it can be restored immediately, and no materials are required.

However, the mana required to solidify a constant effect is very much, at least three times more than the normal construction of a spell model.

The stronger the constant effect, the more mana it consumes.

Every mage's mana has a limit, so doing so is not worth the loss.

A small number of mages will choose to solidify one or two rare constant effects of materials, and they cannot bear any more. Only those archmages who have lived for thousands of years will have a lot of solidified constant effects.

For the young mage, this is an unsolvable problem that can only be solved later.

But for Raistlin, it wasn't a problem at all.

Mana is electricity, and there are monsters everywhere in the New World, as many as you want. If he could get the Balrog crown, he would immediately keep it on his body and solidify it directly.

He has mastered a lot of fire spells, but currently only has one fire affinity, which is too shabby.

The Balrog crown is bound to be won!

After much thought, Raistlin decided to join Izzet's hunting plan.

He looked at the dark elf, and said in a low voice, "The soul fragments of Barlow's Balrog belong to me, but if there are only three of us, the risk is still too great."

"Of course my plan is more than three people!"

Izzet was extremely happy. Raistlin's words meant that he agreed, and he quickly said: "I have already agreed with a friend that his strength is no less than mine, and he will also participate in this plan."

"Four people are not enough?" Raistlin shook his head.

"Yes." Izzet was very calm, "Entering the fel energy wasteland, the closer you are to the gate of the abyss, the more serious the pollution will be. Every team must have a teammate who can purify the fel energy and get rid of mental corruption. Has healing power."

"My friend has some healing skills and can restrain demons, but he is best at hunting and tracking, so we need to find another person."

"Too many people are not conducive to the implementation of the plan. Five people are just right."

"It is best to be a sun knight, a priest, or a holy swordsman. Druids and shepherds are also acceptable, but they are not as reassuring as the first three professions."

The dark elf said with confidence, it can be seen that he has been thinking about it for a long time.

Raistlin nodded slightly. This is all from experience. The soul hunting team and mercenary group wandering in the New World, if they don't have healers or teammates who exorcise and purify the evil energy, they will definitely not be able to go far. Sooner or later, the mind and body will be corroded by the evil energy, and eventually they will become monsters.

To hunt and kill the Barlow Balrog, one must be at least a middle-level legend to be eligible to participate, preferably a high-level legend.

He has only been in the New World for a few days, and he doesn't even know a few people. Where can he find Sun Knights, priests, and holy swordsmen who are above the legendary middle rank?

Unless the Sunwalker, who is training the Spearwing Knight, is called to the New World.

That tauren Atomo is a legendary mid-level sunwalker, so he should be able to do it. If you are still not at ease, tell the chieftain of the Sunstrider Tribe, Dejiko, to go.

But this is the last option.

Raistlin asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"There is one." Izzy nodded and said: "I have secretly observed many strong men in Albert Bay these years, and found that there is a legendary priest who is the best candidate. He is strong and experienced, but his temper is a bit weird, not good. Contact. He left Albert Bay half a month ago and went out to hunt monsters alone."

"Half a month...it shouldn't be far away." Raistlin thought for a while, the Transcendents in the Bay of Albert generally only move on the west coast of the New World, and the farthest they will not cross the Rockchis Mountains.

So he asked, "Do you know where he went?"
