Chapter 561 Endless Bloody Battle, Tang Sen’s Opportunity (7K)
There were no surprises in the process of crossing the teleportation array.
Of course, it was impossible for the demon lord to notice the abnormality of Tang Sen's transformation through his divine power. However, it was somewhat surprising that the effect of Xue Xue's spell could be hidden from the demon lord's perception.
In short, surrounded by a group of demons, the magical power of the teleportation array rose, and Tang Sen felt the pull of space, but it was very weak.
The boundary walls between the various layers of the endless abyss are not very tight to begin with. You can even directly cross the boundary wall by means other than teleportation, and naturally there will be no strong sense of space tearing.
Otherwise, those low-level demons would not be qualified to embark on the bloody battlefield.
As soon as his vision flickered, Tang Sen found that he was already standing in another teleportation array.
This is an extremely large square, crowded with densely packed demons, and further away are city walls that reach into the sky. These walls completely surround everything that can be seen, leaving only the turbid red sky.
In addition to the teleportation array that Tang Sen is standing on, there are other teleportation arrays in all directions on the square. There are countless abyssal planes that are constantly teleporting demons in the planes to this bloody battlefield. .
A Balor Fire Demon is standing on the high platform of the square, and next to each teleportation array, there is a high-level demon, waving the whip in his hand, driving the demons who have just arrived in this plane to leave the teleportation as soon as possible. They joined the other armies that had reached the Wanyuan Plain and surged towards the gate of this huge fortress.
Without supplies and strategies, these demons seemed to be just consumables. They were expelled to the battlefield immediately without any explanation of the situation.
Tang Sen was naturally one of them, but as a fighting madman, at least he was not whipped. Poor Varo was whipped, and he grimaced in pain.
"We have to find a chance to leave this army." Varro came to Tang Sen's side and whispered: "Otherwise, we may directly enter the main battlefield with the devil, and then we will be unable to help ourselves."
"Don't worry." Tang Sen glanced at the center of the fortress. He could feel that a very powerful demon was sitting in it.
Varro could only suppress his inner uneasiness and followed the demon army out of the gate of the fortress. Now, everyone could see what the Wanyuan Plain looked like.
Just like the name of the Wanyuan Plain, this is a red flat land. No one knows whether this red is the original color, or whether it is because too many creatures died here, and their blood has been dyed continuously for hundreds of thousands of years. This land is red, which gives it such a color.
Tang Sen smelled the strong smell of blood and stench in the air, and felt that it was most likely the latter.
In the distant sky, a large group of magic ships can be seen, and dense black dots are jumping off the ships.
With Tang Sen's eyesight, he could see that most of them were low-level devil cannon fodder. Of course, there were also some mercenaries of other races mixed in among them.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the dozen or so adult red dragons soaring in the sky, as well as the figures standing on top of the red dragons' heads.
"Are you even hiring Githyanki to fight in the bloody battle?"
Varro exclaimed: "It seems that the devil is planning to launch a general attack on this fortress."
The Githyanki are a race that lives in the astral plane. They are generally excellent warriors and also possess psychic powers-this is related to their history of being enslaved by the illithids, so the Githyanki and Illithids are mortal enemies, just like devils and demons.
Of course, the Githyanki are able to escape enslavement by the illithids not just through their own strength, but through their pact with the red dragon.
They are one of the few races that can make red dragons fight for them.
"If the situation wasn't dangerous, we wouldn't have a chance to teleport from the lower abyss to the Abyss Plain." Tang Sen looked at the red dragons in the distance, his throat twitching slightly: "The price of hiring these guys must not be cheap."
"You seem to be thinking about something bad!" Varro was alert.
"No, now is not the time." Tang Sen retracted his gaze and looked forward.
After the devils fell to the ground from the magic ship, they began to arrange themselves into neat battle formations at an extremely efficient speed under the organization of their superiors. They were well-trained, well-equipped, and had high morale.
But the demons didn't care so much. Even if there was a wall with big shields and spears in front of them, they would pounce on it without any scruples, and then be strung into gourds.
The place where the two sides fought most fiercely seemed like a meat grinder.
The three of them were surrounded by demons and pushed upwards. Varro kept shouting in terror, but there was no turning back. Soon, the three of them could see the ferocious faces of the demons.
Although these guys look different from demons, they are still ugly in human aesthetics. This is why many humans can't tell the difference between devils and demons.
A lemure in front was directly pierced by a sharp iron spear, and the foul-smelling pus splashed onto Tang Sen's body. Xue Xue was about to cast a spell when Tang Sen grabbed her arm, shook his head slightly, and then He rushed forward immediately.
The shield wall was right in front of him, and a spear pierced Tang Sen's face from the gap in the shield wall.
Tang Sen raised his thick arm belonging to the devil and slapped the spear directly.
The strong force directly broke the iron spear. Tang Sen could hear a scream belonging to the devil coming from behind the shield wall. Without any hesitation, he kicked directly on the shield wall in front of him.
Suddenly, the devils behind the shield could no longer bear the powerful force, and suddenly they fell over.
This is the result of Tang Sen's control of his strength. Otherwise, these devils would be crushed directly together with those iron shields - of course, that would be too eye-catching. The high-end combat power of the devils and demons has not yet entered. Everyone on the battlefield must be paying close attention to the movements on the battlefield.
In short, the surrounding demons discovered the gap opened by Tang Sen, and immediately roared and rushed towards this direction.
And Tang Sen had already led Xue Xue and Varo directly into the devil's formation, heading towards the hinterland of the devil's military formation.
Varro only saw demons and devils dying around him. The smell of blood made all the creatures on this battlefield become even more crazy. Even his own emotions began to be affected. He picked up a blade on the ground and He slashed hard at a devil next to him.
However, Tang Sen casually stopped his attack, and then pointed a finger directly between his eyebrows. The madness and murderous intention in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"There is a spell effect that covers the entire battlefield." Tang Sen explained to him while cutting down a devil with one knife.
"The battle is already so intense, why do you still need to use this kind of invigorating spell?" Varro felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"The war itself is unnecessary. The blood feud between the devil and the devil means that they will not stop at all unless they hear the order to retreat." Tang Sen narrowed his eyes and said: "But, maybe some people want the battle to be more The more crazy you are, the faster you die."
Death, killing, hatred, war.
Even if Tang Sen couldn't feel it, he could definitely guess that for the gods with these responsibilities, this war was a feast of gluttons, and what this millstone of flesh and blood produced was a pleasing divinity.
Two more demons rushed towards Varo, and Tang Sen cut the two demons in two with a knife.
"etc--"
Only then did Varro react: "Why would the devil attack me? I am not now."
He lowered his head and suddenly found that his body had changed again.
He is a devil now.
When he raised his head again, Tang Sen had transformed into a high-level demon and was fighting with the demons.
In this chaotic battlefield, no one had the energy to notice that three people secretly sneaked into the devil's camp.
"Mr. Tang, what are you doing? Isn't what we have to do now to stay away from the battlefield and find a way to leave the endless abyss?" Varro expressed his doubts.
"There's no rush." Tang Sen was fighting the demons while scanning the battlefield.
"Aren't the high-ranking generals planning to enter the scene yet?"
His brows wrinkled slightly.
The war between demons and demons cannot be compared to ordinary human wars, and Tang Sen does not know how long a war will last before it ends.
Fortunately, Tang Sen didn't have to wait long. Suddenly he felt a strong magical aura coming from the sky, and countless bolides dragged their long tails of flames and smashed down towards the devil's formation.
Nine-ring spell meteor burst! And there are still many spellcasters released at the same time!
There is no doubt that if such a combined spell successfully hits the devils' battle formation, then the devils' low-end combat power will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the devils will take the opportunity to kill them and be defeated.
In such a world, high-end combat power has a huge impact on a war.
Obviously, the devil's side would not sit back and watch such a thing happen. There was another strong magic wave, and an invisible wave swept across the entire sky, and those bolides suddenly turned into nothingness at this moment.
Tang Sen could not recognize this spell, but he was certain that it was a spell caster of legendary level in the devil's camp.
This was just the beginning. Next, the spellcasters from both sides began to launch powerful and overwhelming spells. Some were countered, and some fell on the battlefield, taking away the lives of large groups of demons or devils.
At this time, the Githyanki who had been hovering in the sky finally appeared. More than a dozen red dragons swept over the demons, and the scorching dragon flames plowed through a long path in the densest place, leaving only There were traces of charred corpses all over the ground.
Several long whips extended from the rear of the demon camp, directly wrapped around the necks of several red dragons, and smashed them to the ground.
This is the Balor Fire Demon, a more powerful being than the red dragon.
The devil's side was not to be outdone. Several abyss demons flew out and rescued a few red dragons. At the same time, they directly faced the Balor demons.
Among the demon race, the Abyss Demon has a similar status to the Balor Fire Demon. They are both powerful beings with the status of commanders. The weakest Abyss Demon has a challenge level of twenty, and the Abyss Demon and the Abyss Demon who appear here are There is no doubt that the Balor Fire Demon is at the legendary level.
Tang Sen somewhat wanted to get involved, but unfortunately the current deception god was still too weak to allow him to transform into a legendary creature.
He can only target the next-level devil.
For example, an ice demon is fighting not far away.
This kind of high-level demon usually serves as a local commander on the battlefield, and at the same time, its own strength is enough to cope with most situations. At this time, this ice demon is fighting with a six-armed snake demon.
"Xue Xue, pay attention to Mr. Varro, I'm going to do something." Tang Sen explained, and then he went towards the ice demon and killed him.
"Wait a minute -" Varro shouted in horror: "You just left me in the middle of such a chaotic battlefield?"
"Don't worry, you won't die." Tang Sen said this, but his body was blocked by devils and devils.
Varro could only take two steps closer to Xue Xue. Strangely enough, after entering the battlefield, neither the devil nor the devil attacked Xue Xue. It seemed that they all turned a blind eye to Xue Xue.
And when Varo approached Xue Xue, he soon discovered that he had also received such preferential treatment.
"What kind of spell is this?" Varro breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"No name." Xue Xue looked at everything around him curiously and replied casually: "The spell model I just created can reduce our sense of existence."
"Just now?" Varro asked in surprise: "Is it so easy to create a spell?"
"is it hard?"
"Isn't it difficult?"
"It's not difficult."
Varro: "."
Why does this conversation feel a bit familiar?
But think about it, Xue Xue has been alone in the time dragon demiplane for countless years. During this time, all she did was study spells. Although the research was all related to time, for her To put it simply, creating a simple little spell is probably as simple as eating and drinking.
Well, this is a lich, so he doesn't need to eat or drink.
"Aren't you curious about what Mr. Tang did?" Varro asked for a topic.
"Not curious."
"Aren't you afraid that he will be in danger? Aren't you afraid that he will be separated from us?"
"Not afraid."
"I" Varro opened his mouth. Even though he had always been confident in his communication skills, he was now speechless.
He found that he and the lich in front of him had no common language at all, or that the other party was not interested in him at all and was even more willing to see those ugly demons.
At this time, Varro suddenly felt a creepy breath coming from the sky, making him couldn't help but look up.
It was an extremely large demon. He stood in the void, holding a huge sword burning with blazing fire.
A demon lord.
Moreover, he is obviously a lord who evolved from Balor Balrog.
He seemed to disdain to take action against the ant-like low-level devils at his feet, but waited quietly in mid-air. Soon, from the devil's side, a big devil flew over to confront him.
King versus king.
They seemed to be communicating something, but Varro couldn't hear it. Fortunately, although he was in the middle of the battlefield, there were no attacks from demons and demons, so he could concentrate on waiting for the confrontation between the two parties——
For a writer, the experience of witnessing the battle of this level of existence is very valuable. He can already imagine how he will brag to others in the tavern when he returns to Faerûn.
The battle between kings and kings broke out in an instant, and the entire sky was involved in strong magic fluctuations and shock waves. Even the red dragons did not dare to continue flying, and fell to the ground obediently, using their fangs to Kill the enemy with claws.
Whether it is a demon lord or a big devil, although they use magic means as an aid, their main attack method is obviously close combat. In Varro's eyes, the two of them almost turned into two shadows entwined together, and they could hear , only the sound of weapons clashing spread throughout the battlefield.
And the battlefield below became even more crazy. Unknowingly, the ground was covered with a layer of corpses. The flesh and blood of demons were mixed together, making it impossible for people to set foot.
"Are these two the strongest in this plane?" Suddenly, Varo heard Xue Xue's rare initiative.
"What?" Varro was a little surprised, and then he reacted and said quickly: "Maybe he is not the strongest. After all, there must be more than just this battle taking place on the Wanyuan Plain."
"However, looking at the scale of this battle, these two are definitely the best."
"Oh." Xue Xue nodded vaguely.
"What do you mean?" Varro really couldn't guess what this man was thinking.
"It's just a little strange." Xue Xue didn't say much, but just concluded: "The devil can't be defeated."
"So fast?" Varro was surprised. He thought that a battle between levels like theirs would have to last for days and nights before it was finally over.
"The devil has been possessed. Some kind of negative power has been implanted in his body. It's not like magic." After Xue Xue said this, he stopped talking.
Her judgment was quickly confirmed in Varro's eyes. When he saw the big devil's figure clearly again, the other party had already begun to flee quickly towards his own camp.
But the demon lord obviously didn't intend to let him escape like this. The filthy abyssal language resounded throughout the world, like a law, which immediately made the big devil's body stagnant, and then fell down like a meteor.
The fighting devils finally began to panic.
After finally waiting for the big devil to regain control of his body and stabilize his figure, the demon lord's flaming sword fell from the sky.
Just when he was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared next to the big devil, grabbed the big devil's body and pulled it to the side, narrowly avoiding the knife.
Varro's sharp eyes saw the appearance of that figure, and he immediately screamed:
"A human?"
Yes, a human intervened in the battle between the two most powerful men and successfully rescued the big devil from the demon lord's sword.
And all of this happened in a place Varo didn't know.
Tang Sen successfully sneaked into the scene of the battle between the ice demon and the six-armed snake demon. While they were not paying attention, he directly controlled the venue with the surgical fruit, then opened the door of the demiplane and stuffed them all into the demiplane.
The six-armed snake demon is just incidental, Tang Sen's goal is the ice demon.
As a high-level devil and one of the commanders of the battle, this ice devil must have mastered many secrets about the devil race and even the nine levels of purgatory. Tang Sen planned to use this ice devil as a stepping stone to contact the devil.
Whether it is to tame this devil and make it become his internal agent in the devil's camp, or to transform into this devil and replace his position, it is a good choice.
Of course, he also noticed the war between the demon lord and the big devil taking place in the sky, and even noticed more than Varo and Xue Xue——
It was obviously not the first time that the demon lord and the big devil fought. The conversation between the two before the war started seemed quite familiar, and they could at least call out each other's names.
Obviously, the big devil thought that this was just an ordinary battle. He could not do anything to the devil, and the other party could not do anything to him. As one of the devil's dukes, he had to fight to avoid being impeached by those who coveted his status. , and was deposed from his position by the nine domain lords, allowing others to take advantage of it.
However, something unexpected happened.
Tang Sen clearly felt that the demon lord relied on the power of a god. It might not be a powerful god, but the power that was so sinister and unknowingly affecting the big devil was indeed divine power.
As a result, the big devil quickly fell into a disadvantage. When he sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape, it was already too late. His power was limited by divine power, and he could not survive.
This is a doomed situation.
If it weren't for Tang Sen's intervention.
Tang Sen was actually quite hesitant to intervene in the battle between the two.
He has a very clear understanding of himself. If he is not in his own territory and does not use those absolute characteristics, even if he uses all his methods, he can only compete with ordinary legends and is far from the realm of a big devil or a demon lord. There is still a big gap.
However, this is an opportunity.
An opportunity to directly connect with the big devil.
Of course, Tang Sen did not think that a devil would thank him for saving his life, but under normal circumstances, a devil duke would never personally trade with other races, even if the benefits were large enough.
After all, the social order of the Devil is extremely clear and strict. If the Devil Duke goes one step further, he will be the Lord of Nine Hells. And the only thing the Devil Duke wants is this position.
No Lord of the Nine Hells wants to see the Devil Duke under his command be too provocative, lest his position be threatened. Ordinary meritorious service not only has no benefits, but also has disadvantages.
Unusual opportunities will come after you build a relationship.
The situation was changing rapidly. Seeing that the Demon Lord's blade was approaching the Demon Duke, Tang Sen had no more time to weigh.
"It is impossible for a devil duke to have no backup plan."
This idea was the main reason that prompted Townsend to take action.
He doesn't need to face a demon duke head-on.
If the Devil Duke had no backup plan to disturb the established destiny just a little bit, Tang Sen would not continue to take action, but would immediately escape and let him go to his destined death.
Relying on the ability to deceive divinity and the chaotic battlefield below, Tang Sen was confident that the demon lord would never be found.
Of course, Tang Sen did not forget to change his body shape and face.
He didn't want his true face to appear in public.
Being hated by a demon is not a big deal. The key point is that there is an unknown god who has erased everyone's information about himself as the person who founded Neverwinter. It is impossible for the other party not to know his true appearance. .
So, the scene that Varro saw happened.
The Demon Lord was shocked that his sure-shot sword actually missed. He looked at Tang Sen furiously, and the Demon Lord finally got precious reaction time. I don't know what he did. His body suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed. .
That's right, he didn't care about Tang Sen who saved his life at all, but fled the scene without hesitation.
"This is really expected." Tang Sen didn't panic at all. Almost the moment the Devil Duke disappeared, his figure also disappeared from the same place.
"Want to run?" The demon lord roared in Abyssal language, his consciousness firmly locked on Tang Sen.
But he soon discovered that after the other party blended into somewhere on the battlefield, his lock was instantly invalidated.
Even a weak divinity was essentially enough to restrain the power of the demon lord. Tang Sen just turned into an ordinary demon, mixing in the battlefield.
Of course the demon lord didn't want to give up like this. The monstrous abyss fire ignited where the lock failed, and hundreds of meters around, whether they were demons or devils, they were all reduced to ashes in an instant.
He didn't know if the damn guy died in his own flames, but after planning for so long, it was ruined like this. He still couldn't torture the guy personally and saw the guy's death with his own eyes. Not only was his anger not vented, but it became even more intense.
So, he raised his flaming sword towards the devil's camp.
Without the obstruction of the Devil Duke, he is the strongest person on this battlefield who can do whatever he wants. He can kill all the devils with his own strength.
However, his prepared strength was halted at the last moment.
He knew that some beings would not be happy to see him do this, and the bloody battlefield naturally had its own unique unspoken rules.
Immortality is a thing for ordinary demons and ordinary demons, they are angry, they hate, they kill, they die.
And I can only defeat those devils as much as possible within this rule.
If you break the rules, your consequences will be worse, much worse than that of the Devil Duke.
Never try to touch the interests of the gods.
Unless it is another deity who does so.
Therefore, the demon lord could only stop angrily and spat: "Dilhez, you are lucky this time."
"Our fight is not over yet."
He casually slapped a red dragon to death to vent his anger, and then flew back to his fortress.
Soon, a huge sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and the battle between demons and demons began to slow down. Except for those who were red-eyed, the other demons began to retreat towards the castle.
This battle ended unexpectedly.
