As soon as the dwarves appeared, the adventurers knew that they were the Blackstone Tribe's Defilers.
That was because their characteristics were too obvious.
Their bodies exuded a thick, ominous black smoke. Even the air around them seemed to be filled with a disgusting aura. Their scarlet eyes were unsettling, filled with a frenzied thirst for blood.
They simply wanted to slaughter everything.
One of the Defilers walked up to the fallen gargoyle, stepped on its head, and pulled out the war hammer from the corpse. Then, it licked the blood and goo off the war hammer. After a while, it seemed that it was still not satisfied. It grabbed the head of the gargoyle and began to chew on it.
Seeing the Defiler munching on the gargoyle's eyeball and blood splattered everywhere, the adventurers' faces darkened.
The Defiler noticed the adventurers' expressions, and a strange, maniacal satisfaction appeared on its face.
They seemed to enjoy the thrill of oppressing everyone.
That is, if they could enjoy it at all.
"Close the line of defense. Retreat carefully."
After encountering the Defilers, Depp had no choice but to be cautious. This was the first time he had faced such a dangerous enemy. He could not help but feel nervous.
At the back, an adventurer trembled as he asked his companion, "W-what should we do … I don't know why … Just looking at them … My hands are shaking so badly …"
The weapon in his hand was shaking so much that it looked like a sieve.
"You're asking me? Can't you see that my pants are wet? "
Another adventurer squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "I'm starting to regret accepting this mission."
He had thought that it would be a relaxing journey to get rich. He did not expect it to be so dangerous.
When he saw the Defilers, he was so scared that he wet his pants.
That's right. This was the terrifying pressure that the Defilers exerted on ordinary adventurers.
The Defilers, who carried the aura of Chaos, were a natural threat to creatures of Order. The weaker the adventurers, the easier it was for them to be affected. Just standing in front of the Defilers was enough to reduce their combat power by half.
Not to mention those with weak willpower. The only reason they did not turn and run was because they had more people on their side.
"Polluter …"
Tang En could clearly feel the aura of Chaos emanating from them. Although they were not as crazy as Enoch the Boneyard, nor as pure as the original Chaos creature he encountered in the Elven Forest, this weakened secondary power could still easily destroy and corrupt the minds of ordinary people, turning them into the claws of Chaos.
They did not attack immediately. Their minds had been completely corrupted by Chaos, and they seemed to be observing the adventurers.
It was the first time they had seen an adventurer from the surface world.
"My Lord, what tactics should we prepare?"
Locke's expression was solemn. His strength was below average among adventurers, and it was Ellington's equipment that gave him the courage to continue standing here. However, courage alone was not enough. He had to defeat the enemy to achieve true victory.
"Tactics? Do we even have any tactics to use against them? "
Shaking his head, Tang En stepped forward and said loudly, "The enemy has appeared! The real battle has only just begun! "
"They are Polluters who have been corrupted by Chaos!"
"They will not be tired, afraid, or injured. Apart from complete death, nothing can stop them from fighting!"
"What we have to do is to tear their bodies apart, tear their tendons, break their bones, and burn their flesh to ashes!"
"There is no other way!"
"Therefore, what you have to do is to charge, continuously charge, attack, and attack. Use non-stop attacks to completely drown them!"
"Warriors of Ellington! Adventurers of the human countries! I am Tang En, the Lord of Ellington. Become my warriors and kill them! "
As Tang En spoke, all the magic halos around him opened up. This time, he did not hide the brilliance of the magic, but completely displayed it.
Grade 4 spell — Storm Protection Halo! Deflect physical attacks!
Grade 4 spell — Earth's Power Halo! Increase physical defense!
Grade 5 spell — Group Mega Strength! Great increase in strength!
Grade 5 spell — Arcane Force Field Halo! Splash and missile attack suppression!
Grade 6 spell — Physical Damage Suppression Halo! Great decrease in physical damage received!
Grade 6 spell — Wind's Grace Halo! Great increase in movement, reaction, and attack speed!
Grade 7 spell — Magic Damage Suppression Halo! Great decrease in magic damage received!
Grade 7 spell — Arcane Barrier Halo! Any magic attack lower than the halo level would have a certain probability of being reflected back!
In an instant, Tang En seemed to have transformed into a powerful clergyman. Layers of magic halos quickly spread out with him as the center, until they enveloped the entire cavern!
With his strength, it was too easy for the halo effect to cover the entire cavern and provide buffs to everyone.
Even if the average level of Ellington's warriors was only about Bronze Rank Five, under the heaven-defying enhancement of the eight halos displayed by Tang En, their strength was forcibly raised to Gold (pseudo).
This kind of increase in battle strength was a heaven-defying increase that crossed three ranks. Only Tang En had such a huge and terrifying Mana Pool to provide such powerful buffs to so many people without changing his expression.
It was a pity that he couldn't do it himself.
Yes, just like a commander in an RTS game, he could only command the warriors to attack and help them become stronger. No matter how heaven-defying he was, he couldn't kill the enemy with his own hands.
Because if he did, it was likely that he would be facing another group of Chaos creatures.
The powerful magic halos fell on them, and the huge surge of power dispelled the fear in the hearts of the adventurers and allowed them to stand firm again.
"This, this is — Magic Amplification Halo!?"
"One, two, three … There are six, no, seven … God, God! There are eight! Eight different Magic Amplification Halos!? "
"Oh God! I only recognized the Storm Protection Halo and the Earth's Strength Halo! As for the remaining six halos, I've never seen them before! "
"Eight Magic Amplification Halos! What level of strength is he at!? "
"No! Compared to the eight Magic Amplification Halos, didn't you notice something else!? "
An adventurer pointed at Tang En in shock and said, "Lord Tang En actually provided everyone with Magic Amplification Halos at the same time!"
At this time, the other adventurers were shocked to find that Lord Tang En of Ellington actually provided Magic Amplification Halos to hundreds of people present at the same time — this was simply impossible!
Although the effect of Magic Amplification Halos would automatically cover the targets of the friendly camp, the more targets it covered, the greater the magic consumption of the caster. Once the Magic Amplification Halos covered more than ten people, it was equivalent to the mage releasing an elemental spell equivalent to the Magic Amplification Halos every time he drank a cup of tea. Not many mages could bear this kind of magic consumption.
But now they found that not only did Tang En not feel strained, but he also had the mind to release single-target Magic Amplification Halos for a few inconspicuous warriors!
Just how ridiculously large was his mana pool!?
Before these people could recover from the shock, something even more unbelievable happened. At this moment, close to a thousand people came in from the tunnel behind them, and the leader was the Phoenix Mercenary Group. After these thousand people entered the cave, they were immediately brought into the range of the Magic Halo's buff!
In an instant, the burden of the Magic Amplification Halos increased by a thousand people, but they found that Tang En still had no reaction at all!
"Hiss —"
Some adventurers who had been lucky enough to team up with a mage before gasped and said with a shocked face, "Lord Tang En's strength is at least at the Grandmaster level!"
"Grandmaster level? I'm afraid even a Grandmaster level can't bear the consumption of so many people's Magic Amplification Halos! "
Another adventurer spoke loudly to resist the fear of Chaos. He said, "I think he's at least at the Extraordinary level!"
"Wait! Don't forget that Lord Tang En once said that he's a rogue mage! A rogue mage! How can a rogue mage have the strength of an Extraordinary level!? An Extraordinary mage, even in the City of Silver, has a very important status! "
After he said this, the others also came to a realization. Yes, the strongest rogue mage in Prandal was only at the Grandmaster level.
Extraordinary level? That was impossible!
Magic was the study of the world. Without a systematic inheritance, a large number of experiments, and a huge amount of financial support, how could one master such complex and profound knowledge?
How could a rogue mage reach that level?
"Now I understand why you said that he doesn't need our help."
In the Phoenix Mercenary Group, Leon lowered his head and looked at his fist. There were a few layers of light on his fist and an indescribable explosive power was reverberating in his body. He could not wait to release it.
"I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"
Looking at Tang En, who was bathed in the Elemental Light, Eluri was also very surprised.
Leon asked in a low voice, "How many people can you buff at most at the same time?"
"The consumption of divine spells is relatively small, and the burden on my body is not great. With the power of the scepter, I can also buff more than a thousand people with divine spells."
Eluri shook her head and said, "But magic and divine spells are different. Magic puts a huge burden on the body and can't be compared at all … If you cast God's Arrival, maybe you can do it?"
"That's difficult."
Leon shook his head and stared at Tang En's back. He muttered to himself, "Yes … because he knows this, it proves that he's powerful."
Such a powerful rogue mage, who was also the lord of a territory, could still be kind to others and maintain such a kind heart. What was the reason for this?
