One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 167: Preemptive Assault

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

In the darkness, a woman wearing a hood urged her subordinates behind her loudly.

She was none other than the leader of the team that delivered the box for Malik the Cyric Chosen in Calimport.

Since the box was lost, the woman almost used all her strength to find out the whereabouts of the box.

Especially since this thing is going to be an offering to Cyric, the Lord of Lies, in "Holy Day".

Unfortunately, by coincidence, the guild war in Calimport broke out suddenly, and the forces of all parties fell into a melee.

And this directly led to being a member of the Church of Cyric, she and her subordinates were inevitably involved.

Among them, the fierce confrontation with the Harper Alliance has become more frequent with the expansion of the Church of Cyric in the past two years.

But just when the woman thought that she might not be able to find clues about the lost box in a short time, a gossip came out of nowhere.

At first, she just sent someone to investigate with a skeptical attitude.

As a result, following the clues provided by the gossip, the ashes and corpses buried under the trees were really dug out.

It is confirmed that the box was snatched by someone, not by the team responsible for the delivery.

The woman immediately ordered her mage to try to summon the souls of the dead team members, and learned some information from them, and only then did she pursue this time.

In fact, in the original plan, she originally thought that bringing twenty good hands would be enough to snatch the box back.

However, after arriving in Mairatma and witnessing the astonishing power of the chaotic magic storm caused by [Spell Calamity], the woman realized that the chances of success in raiding Zuo Si might not be very high with just her men.

So to be sure, she contacted the believers and followers of the local Cyric Church.

Although both parties have their own ideas and plans, they still reluctantly reached a cooperation agreement.

After all, since this box can make Malik, who is a voter, so nervous, it must contain very important things.

In the view of the faction leader of Melatma, if he can snatch the box back and make a sacrifice himself, will he be able to win Cyric's favor, or even deprive Malik of his voter status and give it to himself?

That's why with the assistance of the local church, there is this team that is quite excellent in both quantity and quality.

Especially the two ogre mages and the several ogre groups controlled by them, as well as the two berserkers summoned from the bottomless abyss through cruel human sacrifices, one over five and a half meters tall and weighing The nearly three tons of glabres are a strong guarantee for the success of this operation.

The woman believes that a surprise attack under the cover of night can achieve the intended goal.

She is very clear that the reason why mages are powerful and intimidating is mainly because they have a variety of countermeasures and they can be arranged in a targeted manner.

But if the opponent can be dragged from "prepared" to "unprepared" encounters, then the chances of winning will be greatly improved.

Just when the woman was thinking about how to launch the next raid, the glabra in the team suddenly stopped and stared at a tree not far away.

"What's going on? Why did you stop?" The woman immediately stepped forward to ask.

Since Glauber is not the kind of demon who likes to vent violence unscrupulously, and everyone in the team is blessed with protection against evil, she is not at all worried that the other party will suddenly violently twist her head.

Just the opposite!

Since the members of the Church of Cyric advocate evil and chaos very much, it is very suitable for the taste of demons.

Some demons have even formed long-term partnerships with them.

Apparently, this glabra was one of them.

The demon raised the smaller right arm among the four arms, pointed to a tree not far away and said, "There is a shadow creature hidden in the shadow of that tree."

As a relatively high-level demon, the eyes of the glabra were born with an effect similar to the six-ring magic [True Seeing].

So it can see through all magical darkness, invisibility and other illusion effects within a distance of nearly forty meters.

You can even discover hidden secret doors and hidden compartments, and restore things to their original appearance.

"Shadow creatures? In such a desolate place, what's the fuss about one or two shadow creatures occasionally appearing?" The woman asked with a puzzled expression.

You must know that in the accompanying team, there are more than 20 people with high priest levels.

A mere low-level phantom can be easily dealt with with a [Rebuke Undead].

"No, no, no, you don't understand. From the moment you left the hills and woods just now, there will be such a shadow hiding in an inconspicuous place at almost every distance. And when you find a living person passing by They didn't attack at the time. Don't you think it's strange?" the glabra explained meaningfully.

The woman's face immediately changed when she heard these words: "Damn it! You mean...these ghost creatures are the eyeliner that the other party deliberately placed here? We are exposed!"

Glauber nodded lightly: "That's right! It seems that your surprise attack plan has failed. Not only that, our opponent has also arrived."

The voice has not yet fallen!

A row of dazzling and bright fireballs flew directly from more than a hundred meters away, and directly landed on the densest crowd and exploded.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by the flames soaring into the sky and the scorching flames, those unlucky people who hadn't had time to bless themselves with any protective magic and magic spells had turned into charred black corpses before they even had time to scream.

Even the two Berserkers were seriously injured by the bombardment of a large number of fireballs.

After all, the devil is not the devil.

They are immune to electricity and poison, and have only weak resistance to fire attacks.

Compared with the slightly stupid Berserker, the Glauber, who has already sensed the danger, is undoubtedly prepared in advance.

The moment he saw the fireball technique flying over, he immediately activated the spell-like ability [Gravity Reversal] to let himself and the woman next to him fly up, avoiding the flames produced by the explosion of the [Fireball technique].

Not only that!

Just one second later, it cast [Advanced Teleportation] again, and instantly hid at the back of the team.

In the blink of an eye, this demon showed its powerful spell-like ability to the fullest.

Among them, [Advanced Teleportation] and [Gravity Reversal] are out-and-out seven-ring spells, and a mage needs to be at least LV13 to learn them.

This round of long-distance [Fireball Technique] coverage attack directly angered the two Berserkers.

Without even hesitating for a second, they immediately used their once-a-day spell-like ability to summon their own kind.

In just a few seconds, the two Berserkers turned into four.

Then the four Berserkers cast [Advanced Teleportation] together, and they appeared in front of Zuo Si and the others.

next second...

boom! boom! boom!

In the violent shock, roar and colorful glare, the amazing energy fell directly on the heads of Alena and Zuo Si.

Zuo Si was so shocked that he vomited blood on the spot, but Alena was not hurt at all.

【Hammer of Chaos】!

In an instant, Zuo Si's head popped up detailed information about this magical technique, and at the same time, without saying a word, he took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it down.

As the name suggests, this spell calls upon the forces of chaos to strike at other factions.

So Alena, who was also in the chaotic camp, was still alive and kicking like a normal person after being hit twice.

On the contrary, Zuo Si, who was suspected of being neutral or lawful, was injured.

If he hadn't blessed many protective spells in advance, he might have been crushed to death by the powerful chaotic energy.

Fortunately, the [Hammer of Chaos] spell-like ability of these Berserkers can only be released once a day.

Now, it's time to send them back to their home in the Abyss.
