The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 695 Pandora’s Box
As a relatively mild spell, Holy Light spells share water magic with water spells. Even if they are forbidden spells, there is no additional penalty.
But comparatively speaking, the forbidden spell that Xu Lai learned was far less powerful than the lightning storm that Tahan learned.
The biggest limitation of Holy Persuasion is that it can only be used once a month, and because there is no water magic, it consumes 1000 mana points to use it once.
1000 mana points is an extremely high price, and ordinary physical professionals simply cannot afford it.
Even for Xu Lai, with a super amulet in his inventory, his mana limit was only 860 points.
This is after visiting many buildings, having the Angel Alliance, the Statue of the God of War, and stacking 26 points of all attributes.
In other words, even if Xu Lai carried an almighty amulet with him, it would not be enough. He must add an amulet that specifically increases mana.
Of course, if he just needs temporary release, he can also visit some buildings such as magic wells, magic streams, and magic whirlpools.
These buildings can double their own magic power and are not subject to an upper limit, which is equivalent to giving a temporary magic power quota.
However, none of these are as secure as carrying a magic amulet with you, and it is impossible to wait until you really need to use it before looking for a magic well everywhere.
But if he wanted to equip the magic amulet, Xu Lai would have to take one from the miscellaneous items.
His inventory is now equipped with four fixed items: Vitality Vial, Dragon Idol, Kade Medical Gem, and Super Amulet.
The remaining position is to choose between the Fire Spirit Orb, the Hand of Fate, and the Shackles of War.
When using Doomsday Judgment, equip the Fire Orb, carry the Hand of Fate at ordinary times, and equip the War Shackles when there are special needs.
Any of these equipment is much more useful than a magic amulet.
Unfortunately, the spells carved on the top of the pyramid are random and unknown.
Otherwise, Xu Lai might not have learned earth or fire magic, but instead learned water magic.
Without the bonus of water magic, the basic power of the forbidden spell is also exaggerated, but it cannot be compared with the forbidden spell with the ultimate water magic bonus.
Even if no other special effects are needed, a 75% power enhancement is almost equivalent to doubling the power of the forbidden spell.
However, Xu Lai still didn't quite understand the effect of this sacred persuasion.
He could understand the part about the undead.
Anyway, as dead creatures, even divine persuasion cannot revive them.
The power of holy light and their origin restrain each other. Kill them directly and let them self-destruct, causing greater damage to other undead around them.
If used well, this can be a powerful weapon when fighting against the undead.
As for the latter part, which was about persuading other enemies, Xu Lai didn't quite understand it. It seemed that it could force the opponent to become one of his own, and it was not a mental spell.
In addition, the persuasive effect of this spell is permanent for ordinary-level creatures, but limited in time for elite-level creatures.
Ordinary creatures generally refer to recruited units, and non-professionals include farmers, businessmen, scholars, etc.
The elites are professionals, captains and other people who have certain abilities or status.
Not to mention the nobles and heroes, spells are completely ineffective against them, which means that the leadership cannot be controlled.
There is a sanctification transformation involved, which is what Xu Lai does not understand the most. The key point is that this transformation seems to be permanent.
If it weren't for the fact that this spell could only be used once a month, and if Xu Lai only had a puppet creature like the golden man in front of him, he might have planned to try it now.
While Xu Lai was outlining and studying the spells, Roland had already rejoined the battle with the knights who had rested for a while and had dinner.
Before Xu Lai could figure out the spell, a large group of them were teleported out of the pyramid.
The pyramid before us no longer has any guardians, and the Sphinx has turned to dust.
However, the most valuable thing in the pyramid has been taken away by Xu Lai.
The forbidden spell stopped glowing the moment Xu Lai recorded it in the spell book.
If Xu Lai touches this pyramid again, it will be shown as having been visited, and he will be asked if he wants to visit it again.
For something like the Cemetery of the Dead, it's okay if you visit it for the first time, but if you can't find anything on the second visit, it will be a huge blow to morale.
It's the same with warriors' tombs, shipwrecks and the like. Xu Lai has been fooled once.
As the place where the dead stay, the pyramids naturally have the same effect.
Moreover, if you visit a building of the level of the pyramid in vain, the morale will be greatly damaged. Xu Lai naturally would not go to such trouble.
Besides, the pyramid's hidden treasure, the forbidden spell, has already been obtained by Xu Lai.
In addition, after defeating the Pharaoh and the Diamond Man, Xu Lai also obtained the treasure given by the pyramid, a colorful magic box.
[Pandora's Box]: A magical artifact. After opening it, you will randomly gain or lose experience, gold coins, magic, creatures, attributes, levels, etc.
According to legend, this thing contains greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, pain, etc., all the most evil things in the world.
But at the same time, Pandora's box also contains the most precious hope in the world.
Therefore, before opening Pandora's box, no one knew what was inside.
Xu Lai may obtain a bunch of artifacts, or he may be directly deprived of all levels.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Lai still didn't know whether he should open the box.
As a human being, Xu Lai was full of curiosity about this thing, but as the leader of a force.
Reason told him that this thing should not be driven by him.
Of course, it cannot be handed over to outsiders casually, because no one knows what is inside. What if there are thousands of top troops?
The person who drives this thing must be someone Xu Lai trusts enough and who also trusts Xu Lai enough.
Xu Lai glanced at Roland, thought about it and decided to give up.
In case it is something like deprivation of ability, although it will have a certain impact on the Knights Guards, Xu Lai can still accept it.
But if he were to be deprived of his life and health, Xu Lai would feel uneasy.
"Let's keep it for now. There seems to be no need to use it in the current situation."
With Pandora's Box and the forbidden spell, although Xu Lai only improved one level this time, the gain was not small.
Through a door in time and space, Xu Lai returned to Graycastle again.
But this time, Xu Lai's earth magic had been upgraded to a high level, which at least saved him some physical strength and prevented him from making a fool of himself.
But when Xu Lai returned to Graycastle, he immediately noticed the atmosphere here, which seemed to be particularly solemn.
"Your Majesty the King!"
Upon seeing Xu Lai, the officer guarding the city gate immediately knelt down on one knee.
Xu Lai raised his hand casually, motioning for others to stand up, and immediately asked:
"Has anything happened in Graycastle recently?"
The officer guarding the gate immediately reported: "Your Majesty, we just received a signal from Little Gray Castle that they were under attack and were asking for help.
The Legion Commander and His Excellency Tahan are discussing the issue of rescuing Little Graycastle."
Xu Lai was stunned, glanced behind him and said, "Is it the small gray castle behind us?"
The officer nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it is that small gray fort. I don't know the specific situation very clearly." Xu Lai frowned. The Gray Fort had not been attacked yet, but the small gray fort behind it was attacked first.
If it wasn't a false alarm, the only forces that could attack Little Graycastle were demons.
It is possible that the previous cleaning was not thorough enough and some demon hideout was missed.
It is also possible that the demons climbed over from the valley, or flew directly from the sky.
Graycastle is not far from Little Graycastle. It would only take Xu Lai's cavalry one or two hours to go back and forth on a fast horse.
This is because the roads in the Grey Valley are narrow and it is difficult to increase speed.
If the road were flat and paved with bricks, a round trip would probably take less than 20 minutes.
At that moment, Xu Lai did not even bother to go into the city. He left the archangel behind and took Roland and the others to Little Gray Castle.
But even though Xu Lai and his men ran fast, they couldn't fly as fast as others.
When they were halfway there, Elvy had already received the one hundred archangels left by Xu Lai, and was chasing after them with the angel army.
After meeting Elvy, Xu Lai became more clear about what had happened.
Little Gray Castle was indeed attacked, and just as Xu Lai guessed, it was attacked by demons that fell from the sky.
However, not many demons came, only about 3.
In the Little Gray Castle, Xu Lai did not leave any specific arrangements, leaving everything to Lena.
But think about it, even if Reina neglected it and left three to five thousand people, it would not be defeated by three to five hundred demons in a short time.
Xu Lai's guess was not wrong, the demons failed to occupy Little Gray Castle.
But he didn't catch up, because when they arrived, all the enemies had flown away.
Apparently, they had someone watching them and would retreat as soon as they saw help coming.
Xu Lai, who was already running low on energy, gritted his teeth and rushed to Little Gray Castle, but he only saw a group of figures flying away in the distance.
Because the distance was too far, it was difficult to see clearly. I could only vaguely see that it was a group of demons with huge wings and black bodies.
"Xu Lai, I'll go chase them!"
Elvy had already rushed over, so naturally she was unwilling to let these demons escape.
And with Xu Lai's talent, Alvy is confident that she can intercept these demons before they leave Xu Lai's heroic realm.
"Forget it. If we get ambushed, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
Xu Lai knew Elvy's temper. Now he was seriously lacking in physical strength, and even if he rode on a warhorse, he would not be able to hold on for long.
As long as Elvy chased out, if she happened to be at the edge of his heroic power, she would definitely rush over without hesitation.
Although Xu Lai only had time to see their backs, the speed of the group of demons left a deep impression on him.
As far as he could remember, there was no demon that had such an exaggerated speed.
Among the demons, the fastest are Hellboy and the archdemons, but their mode of movement is usually teleportation.
The wings on the back are only used to maintain balance when transmitting cooling.
Simply using that pair of bat wings, its speed is only slightly faster than the Abyss Lords, but still not as fast as the Winged Demon.
Although the winged demon's rank is not high, it is small in size, has large wings, and is not wearing any equipment.
If it is a higher-level Winged Demon King, and is led by a hero who is good at Winged Demon, and carries more acceleration treasures, it is possible to have such a movement speed.
But it would not be right to say that the other party is a winged demon.
The biggest difference between the demons Xu Lai saw and the winged demons was that all the demons had bat wings.
But what Xu Lai saw were huge bird-shaped wings.
"Let's go into the fort first and see what's going on."
Although Elvy was very belligerent, she always listened to Xu Lai.
But this time, Elvy shook her head and said, "Xu Lai, let me catch up and see, I promise not to do anything rash.
If you are worried, I will leave the angel army here and I will never fight with them. "
Xu Lai frowned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Elvy's abnormality naturally attracted Xu Lai's attention.
Elvy shook her head and said, "I don't know. When I look at her from behind, I always feel a sense of familiarity."
"Could it be the same demon you've fought before?" Xu Lai said with a smile.
As long as Little Gray Castle is still in his hands, it doesn't matter if a few hundred demons escape.
But Elvy couldn't laugh. She frowned and said:
"Forget it. Judging from their speed, it will take me a long time to catch up with them. Let's talk about it next time."
Elvy's ambiguous look left Xu Lai confused.
But who is Elvy? She is the only woman in the entire Eagle Kingdom who can pin Xu Lai to the bed and beat him.
She said forget it, so Xu Lai had no choice but to "forget it".
The attacking enemies withdrew, and the people in Little Gray Castle naturally ran out of their bunkers.
Seeing Xu Lai standing outside the city, he hurriedly opened the city gate.
The king came in person to help, and the remaining people in Little Graycastle were deeply moved. However, as soon as they saw the scene outside Little Graycastle, they would shed tears unconsciously.
The scene that appeared in Xu Lai's eyes was extremely uncomfortable.
Blood was scattered everywhere, all over the walls, and the ground was covered with blood and minced meat.
At a glance, you can hardly see a complete body.
Even if some large pieces of meat could be found, there was no way to piece them together, let alone cast a spell to resurrect them.
"Damn it! These demons are not here to capture the city, but to kill people." Elvy slammed the wall with her palm and said angrily.
It is no secret that Xu Lai owns a legion of angels, and more and more people know about it.
It's not surprising that Kerrigan knew, it would be surprising if he didn't know.
Since we know that Xu Lai has an angel, if we want to kill someone, the first thing we need to do is destroy the body.
Although this scene was extremely cruel, if it were Xu Lai, he would also find a way to destroy the corpse.
At most, he would not use a sword to chop it so bloody, but would burn it clean with fire.
In the past, Xu Lai was always the victor and had the right to clean up the battlefield. The angels could resurrect anyone they wanted.
We can’t say that he was defeated this time, but he was indeed powerless.
Not only the angel's resurrection, but even the life magic recorded in Xu Lai's magic book was of no help in the face of this situation.
"What happened? What kind of demon attacked you?"
Xu Lai saw Wang Chao rushing over and asked him hurriedly. (End of this chapter)
