He looked at the rising red mushroom cloud in the distance and felt the chaotic fire elemental mana in the air.
The walking winged devil was in a daze.
Its true demon name was' Morris-Ryan '.
Their race was the Dread War Demon, the highest race in the Demon World.
Only the Demon God could be ranked above this race.
Among the thirteen Fiendcelestials, three of them were Terror War Fiends.
They were a pure combat race, and rarely would they feel fear.
But looking at the mushroom cloud in front of it, which it had never seen before, it felt a rare trace of fear.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the demon god Paimon had said to him.
Rewind time to half an hour ago.
The first wave of players were all dead.
Ryan looked at the more than 100 human corpses on the ground, and even more demon corpses lying in disorder nearby.
In order to kill more than a hundred humans, they lost more than two hundred devils.
Moreover, they were surrounded by 30,000 people, and they even had a large number of long-range arrows and magic support.
It was enough to prove the strength and bravery of these humans.
But what made Ryan even more uneasy was the madness displayed by these humans.
The demons were also very crazy.
But most of the time, it was a madness that had lost all reason.
This kind of berserk state was indeed very strong, but its weakness was also very obvious. It was very stupid, one-track minded, and easy to be lured to death.
However, this caused the humans to go crazy. Their madness was the rational type.
Even if they risked their lives, they would pay an extremely small price in exchange for greater damage to their enemies.
It didn't make sense.
Madness and rationality should not appear at the same time.
This was because the fear of death was the instinct of all living creatures. Even the demons had to rely on going berserk and losing their rationality to overcome their fear of death.
But these hundred or so humans didn't need it.
They were very, very crazy, but also very, very rational.
That was impossible.
Ryan found it incomprehensible. He even felt that something was wrong and that his heart was pounding.
Although the Dread War Demons mainly walked the Warrior path, that was because their Warrior talent was too good. In fact, their race was quite smart. Even if they mainly walked the Warrior path, they could still use some low-level spells after living for a few decades.
Therefore, he decided to ask Lord Paimon about the situation.
In the past, Lord Paimon would have ordered an attack on the main plane, but he had already gathered more than 30,000 soldiers.
But this time … it seemed like they were gathering their troops to defend, not to attack.
So he decided to ask Paimon about the situation.
He returned to his tent and activated the communication stone.
When there was a response from the communication stone, he said respectfully, "Lord Paimon?
Bother you while you're busy?
There's something I don't understand. Can you explain it to me? "
"Speak!
I'm busy. "
"Why didn't we take the initiative to attack this time?
Did something happen in the human world? "
"Why would you think that?"
Ryan continued, "More than a hundred human warriors appeared at the portal just now?
They were very fierce. Were they not afraid of death?
Are they crazy?
They even retained their sanity. Even though we had them surrounded, we still lost more than two hundred people before we could kill them. "
The communication stone was silent for a moment. Then, a voice that sounded like a young human?
A very gentle voice could be heard, "Guard there first?
If any humans teleport over from there, continue to kill them. Don't worry, I've already gone to find Phoenix. He knows the most about humans. Maybe he'll know after asking him. "
"Lord Ryan?
You haven't answered my question directly. Why didn't you want us to attack the main plane from the beginning? "
There was another long period of silence.
After a long time, Paimon said, "It's not that I don't want to?
It's that I don't dare … You know that I'm best at prophecy.
I have a feeling that if we don't gather enough people?
Just charge in like that?
You'll all die. Then I'll die too! "
"That's impossible!" Ryan was surprised. "Are you a Demon God?"
"Even the real gods can die, let alone us," said Ryan casually. "So, Ryan, please, we won't attack them for now, but if the humans come, you must kill them. We can't let them gather too many."
Paimon was one of the more popular Demon Gods because he abided by the rules that he set.
The Realm of Devils seemed to be chaotic, but it also abided by certain rules.
There were no completely disorderly intelligent creatures in this world, or any completely disorderly population would certainly self-destruct.
"As you wish, Lord Paimon."
Then, Ryan saw the group of human Summoners behind him for some reason.
He thought that with his thirty thousand men, he should be able to kill the enemy's summons and then the enemy's Summoner.
Then, before the ground troops really made contact, he was blown away by an AOE spell of unknown origin.
He looked at the red mushroom cloud in the distance, and then at the huge radial crater.
Magma flowed at the bottom of the crater.
At least a thousand devils died in the explosion, leaving only hard bones still rolling in the magma.
And more devil soldiers were blown away and scalded by the intense heat waves.
Not all devils were as resistant to fire as he was.
Charred or half-burnt bodies moaned and wriggled around the huge crater.
"What's going on?!" Ryan licked his lips. "What kind of spell is this?"
The succubus landed from the sky and said, "A human Mage used a giant blue fireball. This is the first time I've seen it, too."
Both of them were silent for a few seconds.
They had seen a lot of fireballs … Many races in the Realm of Devils were good at playing with fire.
But this was the second time they'd seen a blue fireball.
And the speed at which the magic power gathered was so fast and so powerful.
It stood to reason that a spell of this power generally had a fairly long warning.
Even if it was a fiery meteor falling, there had to be a spell to guide it into the process of falling.
It would take at least fifteen seconds or more.
But this powerful spell, from being discovered to taking shape to exploding, was estimated to only take about five seconds.
That made no sense.
"Where's that human Mage?"
"Gone."
"Didn't you keep an eye on him?"
"He used Secondary Invisibility and hid in the group of summons."
Ryan immediately fell silent.
Both of them were a little uneasy.
This time, the portal was opened again, and everything was wrong.
The extremely belligerent Lord Paimon didn't take the initiative to attack the human world, but defended.
And the humans really started to take the initiative to attack the Realm of Devils.
And now there was an extremely weird attack.
Just as they were silent, the more than thirty thousand devil soldiers … now only looked like twenty-eight or twenty-nine thousand. They all stopped and looked at the huge crater in front of them with a radius of at least fifty meters, not daring to move.
In addition to this crater, there was an "effective killing circle" with a radius of nearly two hundred meters. The land turned from red to black.
A large number of wounded lay on this scorched earth, struggling and screaming for help.
It wasn't over yet … In the dark clouds in the sky, a "scorching sun" suddenly appeared.
The summoned creatures that could fly quickly dispersed, and the remaining 20,000 or so demons saw a man flapping his golden wings of light as he floated in mid-air.
And above his head, there was a golden ball of light.
There was a daily limit to the number of times a divine spell could be used.
The cooldown time of Judgment of Light was twenty-four hours, so Schuck was only using the regular Sunlight Illumination.
But even this kind of magic had a negative effect on the demons.
Many devils felt uncomfortable, feverish, and nauseous.
Although they could endure it, it would definitely affect their combat ability.
And in addition to Sunlight Illumination, Schuck also activated one of the Saint Samurai's signature talents.
Aura of Courage and Aura of Victory.
As the strongest heroic combat unit of the Church of Light, the Saint Samurai often led troops into battle.
So the aura ability was also a talent that they had to learn.
The strength of the summoned creatures would be weaker when the number was the same, but with the buffs of Aura of Courage and Aura of Victory, their strength increased by at least thirty percent.
The devils, on the other hand, were slightly suppressed by Sunlight Illumination. In game terms, their attributes were slightly reduced.
As a result, the gap between the summoned creatures and the devils wasn't so big anymore.
The Summoner girls, sensing that the summoned creatures had become a lot stronger, urged the summoned creatures to attack even more desperately.
They were all projections anyway, and they didn't feel bad about disappearing. It wasn't animal abuse.
As long as they had magic power, they could be summoned again.
Soon, the summoned creatures on the ground bypassed the magma pit in the middle and launched attacks at the devils from the left and right.
The battle in the sky continued.
It was just that in the past, five summoned creatures could barely kill a flying demon, but now, three summoned creatures could kill a flying demon.
It seemed that the devils still had the advantage, but the problem was that the summoned creatures could be replenished.
When the girls felt that they had fewer summoned creatures, they would immediately summon new ones.
The speed of replenishment wasn't fast, and it was also limited by magic power consumption.
But it wasn't a problem to replenish twice the number of summoned creatures.
Besides, they didn't need to win; they just needed to attract the attention of these devils and make them focus on them.
Seeing that the ground troops were approaching, the succubus shook her head, her white and round chest equipment shaking dizzily. "I feel something's wrong. Fat Dragon, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, the succubus's body turned pitch-black, and she turned into a black shadow that swept away from the ground.
Ryan stood at the edge of the battlefield and observed the situation. Although the devils still had the upper hand, the other party was constantly replenishing the summoned creatures, so the battlefield was still in a stalemate.
The devils could win!
That was what many people would think when they saw this situation.
After all, the Summoners only had a hundred or so soldiers, and the summoned creatures could be replenished, but the number was limited.
The Saint Samurai's aura was indeed powerful, but it was only effective if the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't too great.
These summoned creatures, even with the support of the aura, couldn't possibly compare to the devils.
Then, Ryan just felt that something was wrong.
He touched his head with his right hand, grabbed one of the horns … and twisted it hard, breaking it.
Then he bit the tip of the broken horn with his mouth, put it in his mouth, and blew hard.
The desolate sound of a horn echoed throughout the battlefield.
One long and two short.
It was a signal to retreat.
Although the devils were brave, they immediately gave up fighting and turned to run when they heard the sound.
In fact, their morale was already low at this moment.
The huge crater at the center of the battlefield indicated that there was an extremely terrifying mage on the other side. He might be able to attack, but he might also be in an unknown state of lacking mana.
Retreat … So, as soon as they heard the horn, more than twenty thousand devils immediately turned around and ran without any hesitation.
In the Realm of Devils, all the devils moved very fast, and the summoned creatures couldn't catch up at all.
Although the Celestial Goshawk flying in the sky could catch up to them, the Celestial Goshawk would shoot a barrage of magic or arrows at them, causing the Goshawk to fall to the ground like rain.
It was completely useless.
So, Solisa immediately asked the guild members to stop chasing and instead regroup and occupy the land.
In fact, Ryan's decision was quite correct. Less than three minutes after they began to retreat, most of the players charged over from the portal.
Many girls from the Phoenix Guild turned on a livestream, so the players knew the current situation of the battle.
Seeing that the devils had been attracted, they immediately asked the Mages to work together and shake the portal with magic power, breaking through the blockade.
Then, a large number of players surged out of the magic gate and charged at the rear of the devils' army.
But unfortunately, Ryan retreated, and only a few players who were fast enough managed to bite the devils' tail. After killing a hundred devils, they could only watch the devils run further and further away.
And far away, Ryan, who was standing on a high ground somewhere, was scared to see an endless stream of humans appear at the portal.
Then, he activated the communication stone in his hand. "Lord Paimon, we failed. The humans are coming."
And at this moment, in the livestream, many players who didn't participate in the battle and the netizens who were watching the show were all discussing.
"Sure enough, on the battlefield, it's still up to the Mages. Roland's spell probably killed a four-digit number of devils."
"Schuck is also good, suppressing the enemy's attributes and raising his own. He's the real king of the battlefield."
"The phoenix girls are also very good, pulling such a large team with a hundred or so people. I'm scared just looking at it. "
"To put it bluntly, the professions are still better."
"You say that Saint Samurai and Summoner have strong class characteristics, I admit it! But Roland is not. He's the only one in the entire server who can do this. "
"What about Warlocks, fire feces, I remember that Warlocks also have mass destruction spells."
"No, it's far from Roland's blue fireball."
"Stop chatting and go to the reputation store. A ranking has appeared there, and it's a ranking of reputation points for slaying demons. It's a hundred-place system."
"I just came back from the reputation store. Roland ranks first with more than five thousand reputation points, followed by Schuck with more than three thousand, followed by Solisa of the Phoenix Guild with more than nine hundred, followed by a few hundred, and the hundredth place only has 99 reputation points."
"No way, how can the gap be so big?"
"It's normal. After all, he's a cannon Mage. And the most bug-like profession. "
"Roland is rich. The best epic preparation in the reputation store starts at a thousand points, and he can exchange for five now."
However … Roland didn't want to change equipment.
