It opened its mouth and fired a breath at the Storm Warrior. This time, what it spewed was not acid, but a liquid similar to the gas it exhaled, only a deeper red.
Corrosive blood?
Recalling the intelligence from the Ran Yinglin Yin Ni h Wu Jiu Shi IXX? Ling Meng Xue Hui, the Storm Warrior snorted coldly and showed no intention of retreating, blocking with his double axes and charging straight at the enemy.
what happened!
Liquid life force poured down on him, but thanks to his powerful life force field, his body was largely uncorroded. However, the problem was that a needle-like pain came from the depths of his mind, as if this life force could erode his soul.
Wait, the Soul-Eroding Blade.
Realizing that Maginus might have incorporated Soulblade techniques into these blood, the Storm Warrior stopped trying to withstand the attack and attempted to break free. However, the blood spitting out of the black dragon's mouth seemed to have a mind of its own, swirling around him and refusing to let go.
The body trembled, forcing back the blood. The girl in the cave aimed at his location and squeezed hard. The fear-inducing spiritual energy that had been lying in ambush throughout the plains was activated and grabbed the high-level warrior whose soul had been corrupted.
The terrifying giant hand rendered the Storm Warrior unable to move, and in that instant, the black dragon bit down again, the purplish-black light on its teeth sending chills down one's spine.
"Ahhh!"
The high-ranking member screamed as half of his body was bitten and stained with blood. His body was still well protected by the armor, but he felt excruciating pain. Even with an iron will, he experienced extreme agony.
With the Storm Warrior in his mouth, Maginus intensified the Soul-Eroding Blade. He finally adapted a little, swung his axe to cut off the dragon's mouth and broke free. After landing, however, he no longer had the arrogance and haughtiness he had before.
At this moment, the Storm Warrior was dizzy and felt phantom pain all over his body. He could barely hold his weapon. He never expected that blood could be so lethal.
Attacking with both soul and body, the black dragon in front of her is very likely one she created. Does a mid-level being really have so much energy to squander?
Normally, that wouldn't work, but unfortunately, the Drow elves sent Maginus a huge wave of supplies, and they're still resupplying.
Energy is not a problem for Maginus; what she lacks is consciousness and upper limit. She can control her own body to split into ten and send them out to go crazy, but controlling the black dragon requires Maginus to carefully manage it.
So she could only make one body; making more would be pointless, as they wouldn't move.
The mage has a simple solution: envelop the black dragon in an anti-magic field, and it will immediately lose all control.
Well, this thing is just something Maginus uses to deal with or delay a single high-ranking enemy; the real fighter is still the girl herself.
With his soul wounded, the Storm Warrior realized the danger and tried to escape, but his previous arrogance ruined his chances of victory.
...An hour later, the ground was violently shaken and turned upside down, leaving the surrounding area in ruins. The battle finally came to an end, and the people who participated in the reconnaissance watched the black dragon roaring to the sky with trepidation.
It slowly lay down in one place, seemingly guarding something, while the besieging coalition forces had not seen any high-ranking members of the Bloodstained Society for a long time, and their hearts sank.
That can't be right, that's the famous Stormbreaker.
But that's the reality; he didn't return. After witnessing the recovery speed of Maginus's clone, no one dared to speculate whether the Black Dragon had been seriously injured.
The first hasty attack ended in defeat for the allied forces.
Chapter 432 Neither Side
The unauthorized actions of some individuals greatly displeased the Allied high command, as it was generally accepted that those who died at the hands of Maginus would become her nourishment, and the casual deaths of Storm Warriors were tantamount to aiding the enemy.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive after a high-ranking member of the Bloodstained Society died. Even within the continental organization Bloodstained Society, a high-ranking professional was considered a top-level figure, representing a nation-wide level and capable of destroying cities.
Now that the high-ranking official has died at the hands of Maginus, she is the biggest threat to all the allied nations. All the leaders listened to what she said in public in Lake Crystal City.
In just five or six years, she went from a down-on-her-luck princess to a high-level professional. If given another ten years or so, wouldn't she definitely become a legend?
This doesn't even include the Slaughter God's Children and the Slaughter God's followers hiding in the darkness. If more followers are gathered by her, they will definitely face certain death in the future.
While they were thinking of themselves, they claimed to be acting in the name of the country and its people. In any case, they mobilized a large number of troops, and even Nizmol sent high-ranking officers.
What, the Legend of Pi?
In fact, no legends came. Those legendary figures didn't think it was a big deal. They couldn't just take action every time a genius threatened the country, otherwise there would be people like that everywhere in the world.
They also need to prepare for another disaster, the signs of which have already appeared.
With one high-ranking member dead, the others refrained from making any rash moves. Lacking information and intelligence about Maginus's new abilities, they feared that the girl might be able to create the bodies of several black dragons at once.
We must wait until everyone is present, then use our superior numbers to overwhelm them and defeat the few, in order to minimize losses.
"Before we fight, we need to use a suicide squad to find out exactly how much range Maginus can control her life force, and at least calculate the situation of her clones."
"Not only that, there's also her Soul-Eroding Blade, and we don't even know the extent of it yet."
In the forest far from the plains, the advance team repeatedly confirmed that there was no danger, stopped to conduct long-distance observation, and used magic to investigate the problems on the plains.
Within a circular area with a radius of one kilometer in the air, the concentration of life force is increasing, and according to observations by psychics, the same is true for soul energy.
Both energies were extremely unnatural and aggressive. If an ordinary creature were to enter, it would likely rot away over time, its body and soul completely dissolved into them.
They may not even realize that the accumulated pain will only erupt when they are about to die.
Everything was filled with malice and negative emotions, just like the ruins of Red Sparrow and the first time Maginus was hunted down in the city.
No, the emotions simmering within are now even stronger.
Is there a way to make an anti-psychic field or anti-magic field cover everyone?
The simplest solution is to weaken the energy of the entire area. Once this is done, Maginus will be unable to use any of her special abilities or they will be greatly reduced.
The problem is that it's impossible. Most force fields are only about 6 meters wide, which is not enough to cover everyone. If Maginus senses something is wrong, he will definitely leave the force field area.
"What about using lower-level spells to enhance the warriors' willpower and resilience, and the spellcasters' physical toughness?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Maginus's life force can attack both the body and the soul. In that case, the places that spellcasters and non-spellcasters need to protect are completely different."
How many spellcasters do we expect to have?
In the time that followed, those who had arrived earlier began to assess Maginus's strength and speculate on her abilities in various aspects.
More and more unrelated people gathered around the plain, ranging from good to evil, from orderly to chaotic factions, which led to some chaos.
The Church of the Endless Light arrived first, and several old friends were also in the group. The former farm girl, Bereya, had grown into a graceful young woman after years of trials, exuding a holy aura.
She gazed at the desolate wasteland, the air tinged with red, her mind still replaying the scene of being rescued in White Dove City. She never imagined that the girl who saved her and her parents would become an enemy of many countries.
"Hmph, the Slaughter Gods, regardless of whether they are evil or not, their very existence represents chaos."
The leading paladin snorted and shook his head, while a paladin who looked newly joined revealed an expression of righteous indignation:
"Captain, shouldn't we help? That's the Child of Slaughter!"
“Sigh, it’s not easy to help,” the captain sighed. “So far, all that Maginus has done is kill the nobles involved in that matter; everything else he’s done has been good.”
Other churches may not know, but the Church of the Endless Light has scriptures and is very familiar with the origins of the Imperius family.
The alliance's initial claim of being a legitimate cause was false; they were simply waging war against Nesery for their own interests, making their actions both evil and chaotic.
Revenge is an irrational act, but Maginos, as a victim, possesses a certain degree of "justice" in her actions.
The reason she turned to evil was more due to the fact that she "killed the whole family." There must have been many kind people among them. Most of the children and women would not have their hands stained with blood. It was these people who made the girl turn to evil.
And what else did she do?
Providing urgent information to the Light of No End, working with the Church to deal with the killing of the Divine Child, and making contributions on the battlefield against the Netherworld creatures in order to get closer to Kalivisda...
It's indeed inappropriate for the various temples of benevolent gods to get involved in the matter in the name of the temple. The fighting so far has been entirely about personal grudges, not about good or evil.
The righteous paladin was stunned after hearing the explanation, and for a moment he didn't know what to do: "Can't we persuade both sides to stop?"
"It can't stop. If it could really stop, where in this world would there be so many conflicts where it's hard to say who's good and who's evil?" The older paladin shook his head. (Yumezaki Erlingji ji u7/闶)
The drama of mutual revenge has long since gone on, and one side must be completely destroyed.
Deep down, many in the church still hoped that Maginus would die here. Because of this thought, many people even prayed to the Light of No End, asking K to forgive them for having such an evil thought.
On one side is the fallen god of slaughter, and on the other side are numerous high-ranking officials of the country.
From the perspective of good and evil, neither side has any advantage.
From the perspective of order versus chaos, it is quite obvious which side has the advantage.
"Miss Maginos's dream imprints me with a filthy kick..."
Bereya clasped her hands together, wanting to pray but unsure what to pray for.
Chapter 433 A Self-Destructing Clone
Besides the church, people from some countries unrelated to the coalition also came, mainly because they were afraid that the assembled armies might do something to their countries, and some were simply there to join in the fun.
Several other children of the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear were secretly observing, wanting to see just how powerful their "brothers" were. As a result, they encountered some people from the Church of Kindness, fought a battle, and several people died. Their lurking became even deeper.
Most of the spellcasters in these factions even livestreamed the events so that many people could see what was happening.
“Magnus…”
Lenia stared at the projection in front of her, holding the letter the girl had sent her from Red Sparrow City. Tears streamed down her face. She was all alone; how could she have escaped from so many people? Deep down, she already felt that Maginus wouldn't survive.
"Let me out! Let me out now!"
Imprisoned in the anti-magic field, Inser roared like a wild beast, ignoring the pain in her body and slamming her shoulder against the door, causing the images in the bedroom to shake slightly.
In the more distant Nizmore, Susan, who had once again become the head of the palace guard, stared blankly at the screen, muttering, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
……
More than ten days later, the Drow's Nest stopped emitting spatial fluctuations. The Lolth Drow of the Underdark must have known about the situation here and realized that the legendary item was in someone else's hands, so they directly cut off the teleportation channel there.
Putting the useless Drow Nest into her belt, Maginus, in the darkness, took out the Githyanki Silver Sword, and a heavy psionic field immediately spread out.
"Can the Gisyanke Silver Sword disable anti-psychic fields?"
To some extent, yes, since the silver sword itself has an extremely powerful force field, and in a conflict between the two, the silver sword takes priority.
The Gisyanki replied that they were also concerned about Maginus's life or death, since they were merely teachers to the girl, only occasionally teaching her some skills.
But if they fall into the hands of others, things might change. As rare Gith Yankees and Mind Flayers, many would likely try to imprison their souls and then use various means to acquire their knowledge.
Do you intend to fight with my silver sword?
"Yes, is there anything I need to be careful about?"
No, you are a very good user as a Soulblade user. Although you are not as good as we Gith Yankees at using them, you are still good enough to use many of your abilities.
After a brief conversation with the Gith Yankees, the Mind Flayer, who had been silent all along, spoke up to probe the situation outside.
So what's the situation outside right now?
"I'm trapped by a group of people, the strongest of whom is a high-level expert. This is a life-or-death battle."
Glossing over the general details, Maginus never let his guard down around the two men in the silver sword.
She scanned the area with her life force senses, confirming that no one had entered her warning range. She closed her eyes, composed herself, and forced herself to recall the most painful moments.
Tragic scenes kept flashing before her eyes, but what remained fixed in her mind was the face of her brother Walker, who hoped she could live a peaceful life.
Living, dying, living, dying...
A sense of conflict arose, and the once calm red mist began to flow like liquid, slowly rotating around the center.
Suppressing her emotions, the girl's body, in addition to the blood-red thorn patterns, developed even more purplish-black cracks around her heart.
Within the spiritual space, a storm of psychic energy swept through, erasing fragments of the two deities' consciousness and absorbing their divinity.
"I will stir up conflict..."
"I will bring blood..."
"I want to...make everything I hate die."
Finally, the appointed time arrived. Within twenty days, the armies arrived one after another. The large number of elite troops recruited by various countries were integrated together and appeared on the vast wilderness. As far as the eye could see, low-level professionals filled the vast grassland.
"This is an extremely difficult battle... We must completely eliminate this most dangerous killing god..."
The commander stood on the stage and gave a passionate speech, his voice carrying a strong motivational tone that stirred everyone's emotions and greatly boosted the morale of the troops.
The lower-level professionals dispersed around the red mist according to their assigned roles, forming a human wall that prevented Maginus from escaping quickly even if she managed to shake off the mid- and high-level professionals.
At eight locations—east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest—there is one high-level professional and ten mid-level professionals. No matter which direction Maginus tries to escape in, he will eventually be stopped.
Inside the red mist, one hundred mid-level warriors were divided into twenty teams of five to conduct a thorough search, leaving no one of Maginus's clones undetected. In addition, twelve high-level professionals kept a close watch on the movements of these teams.
More than a dozen countries participated in the coalition. They really brought out their most trusted and capable people. Otherwise, these high-ranking officials with official positions would generally not be too far from the capital or important locations.
The personnel configuration is even more impressive than when attacking Nessereth. If it weren't for the Bloodstained Society's storm warriors acting on their own, there would be several more high-ranking members now.
"Now that we've located the key location, let's use magic to plow it up first."
Inside the command center, through deduction and calculation of vitality, they had determined five possible locations where Maginus might appear and decided to let the mage make the first move.
The high-ranking mages targeted five locations that were constantly oozing life force. Several meteors, clearly visible in the clear daylight, plummeted straight toward their chosen locations.
Meteor Explosion!
One explosion after another rang out in five places. After the smoke cleared, the people equipped with True Knowledge confirmed that nothing had emerged from them. Instead, Maginus appeared in other places.
