The knight in the abyss

Chapter 402 The Portal
In people's general impression, demons are either corrupters hiding in the dark, spreading corruption and chaos everywhere; or they are crazy and violent destroyers, full of killing and destruction wherever they go.As for the latter, these supernatural beasts never run away from battle, but fight to the death, even with their limbs and teeth pulled out, and they spit on their opponents before dying.

But that's not really how demons are.Scholars have known for a long time that demons will not really die after being killed outside their original plane, but will be reborn in the plane they were born in. This includes both the Tanari Demon in the Abyss and the Burning Hell yugoloths and baatezu devils from the Nine Hells of Baator.This means that as long as they are not in the original plane, these demons will not have any worries when fighting.

Much of the Abyss is not very habitable, even for demons.Most of the demons are permanently imprisoned in this plane. Apart from the harsh environment of the abyss itself, most of them are still enslaved and tortured by a powerful demon, and they may be sent to perform dangerous tasks at any time, or become " The object of the master's moody emotions.

The only solace these demons can bring is to torment other "humans"—either weaker, lesser demons, or "adventurers" who have ventured into the abyss.

The above premise is that they have not found a way to leave the abyss.

Traveling to other planes is like going to a carnival for lowly, wretched demons, and mortals base their image of demons on the Prime Material Plane.Not all demons have the ability to leave the plane of the abyss, that requires profound knowledge of magic and powerful power, or cultists who call their names in the material plane, and it is obviously impossible for ordinary demons to have any of them.

The irony is that demons who want to get out can't get out, and those who can get out rarely have the motivation to do so-such demons are often very powerful and belong to the ruling class in the abyss, unless there is a special reason, most of their energy It is used to maintain and improve one's own strength to fight against competitors, instead of going to the main material plane to make waves.

Therefore, seeing that the number of this group of enemies running out from nowhere was increasing, and their combat power was obviously higher than that of their own side, the two farthest glabrats ran away without hesitation.

The remaining four glabres were all killed under the siege of the crowd.For the fleeing demon, Lancelot did not try to chase it. Given his current situation, even if he catches up, it would be difficult to kill him quickly, and the portal with the skeleton frame is right in front of him. Return to Andrinna is the top priority.

"That's Lake Lamborrado, right?" Great Elder Quirion walked up to Lancelot, pointing to the blurry scene in the center of the portal, "That is to say, the other end of the portal is on Mother Mountain..."

"Do you think so too?" Lancelot shrugged, "I heard that there is a palace of Cang Ye on Mother Mountain..."

"That's true." Caladre also walked over, "Our scouts have seen that huge palace from afar, but they have never actually entered it."

"I guess it would be easier to get out from inside." Brutal raised his hammer. "So what are we waiting for?"

"Don't worry, dwarf." Quirion pointed behind him, and the three Huiyun angels were trying to get themselves out of the narrow passageway, "Let them go first."

"The exit on the other side of the portal doesn't have to be on flat ground." Karaline explained to Brutal, "Maybe when you step out of the portal, you will find that there is nothing under your feet, and the ground is several hundred feet away from you; or In some poisonous swamp, only demons can adapt to that environment..."

"Okay, then it's not bad to let them explore the way first." The dwarf resentfully put down the hammer.

Everyone didn't waste time, and after a few brief explanations, three Huiyun angels walked into the huge portal one after another, while the rest waited nervously in place.Since there are guards on this side of the door, there are probably guards on the other side of the door.Their advantage is that the guards definitely don't expect that there will be enemies coming out of this door, and the powerful Huiyun Angel will definitely catch the opponent by surprise.

Time passed by, and the figure of Angel Huiyun did not reappear in the portal for a long time, and the tension quietly spread in the crowd.If nothing goes wrong, someone should have come back to report to them that everything is fine.

At this moment, Lancelot frowned, and turned his head to look in the direction where the two glaubers had fled just now.

"What's the matter?" Axian immediately asked nervously. He had a deep understanding of the perception ability of human knights and knew the meaning behind Lancelot's actions.

"There are enemies." The human knight kicked the huge sword stuck on the ground to his shoulder, "It seems that the two escaped guys found reinforcements..."

"How do you know?" Caladre, who was next to him, also noticed the conversation between the two, but he immediately realized that it was not the time to pursue this, so he directly asked the really important question, "How many?"

"Continuously." Lancelot replied with a gloomy face, "Tell your people to get ready."

"Ready to fight!" Caladre immediately shouted, "Defensive formation!"

There was a commotion from the crowd, but they were running immediately.The defensive formation of the protectors is not complicated. Soldiers holding melee weapons form a dense battle line in front, while archers holding bows occupy the commanding heights of various places behind them. Lancelot and his partners can easily be in the formation. found its place in.

When everyone hadn't fully set up their formation, a large number of cowards rushed in from the gate of the throne room.The archers immediately shot arrows towards them. Before they could take two steps forward, these lesser demons all fell to the ground. The bodies filled with arrows looked like dead hedgehogs.

But that was not a good sign. Due to the lack of coordination and command, when the large group of Berserkers behind Coward rushed in, the firepower to meet them was obviously much sparser. Moreover, these Berserkers were not ordinary goods. With all kinds of armor and heavy shields in their hands, if they just bumped into each other like this, the defender's line of defense could be smashed to pieces just by their weight.

Lancelot had no real energy to use to summon the vines. He held his giant sword tightly. Others might not be able to withstand the impact of these heavy demons. He would never let the enemy break through his defense from the front!

But he almost forgot that there are still spellcasters on his side.I saw Kara Lin quickly pulled a scroll, and instantly activated the spell on it, and shouted out the trigger word of the scroll, which was also the name of the spell:
"cobweb!"
