Chapter 289 Siris’s special apotheosis?
The demon army summoned by the spell is already small in size.

Although they fell into chaos and fought independently, most of them were quickly killed by well-equipped human masters. However, when the demons regrouped and launched a counterattack, and new soldiers were constantly added to the gate of the alien world, the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

Those left behind in the ring were more than a dozen powerful demons who had reached the sixth or seventh level.

A low-level mage in the tower was not paying attention when he saw a mad war demon charging towards him, its huge body crushing violently like a building.

The unlucky low-level mage was smashed into pieces on the spot, and the few shield spells he had on him had no effect at all.

Everyone nearby retreated because the huge demon was emitting a stench that was filling the air like a poisonous cloud.

Those with weaker constitutions will choke and faint after just a few mouthfuls.

This makes it impossible for ordinary low-level warriors to get close.

This is just a sixth-level demon.

In such fighting, the human side lost several mages in just a few rounds of confrontation.

There is no shortage of combat professional escorts around them, but the demons are not just targets that will only be beaten in vain. They have the means to charge into battle.

Normal battles should not be fought by the mages. They should be fully prepared in advance and use facilities such as battlefield fortifications or mage towers.

But now, they are forced to start an inefficient fight in an unfavorable situation.

Because time waits for no one, there is no chance for a leisurely layout.

Roland also followed him onto the battlefield. In this direction, he faced a seventh-level Bewitching Demon.

It is also a very large creature with a body the size of a house. It has four arms, but they are not like human-shaped hands, but are shaped like sharp claws and pincers.

This wolf has the head of a bull and horns, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and cruel eyes. At first glance, it looks like a human shield-type fighting demon.

But in fact, according to the knowledge of the abyssal plane and biology of the mages, it can be seen that this kind of demon is not called a "beguiled demon" for nothing.

When everyone rushed up, it was using its racial talent to "summon demons" to attract friends.

Five vlo demon figures appeared, howling and charging towards them, and two other succubi also appeared and made various gestures.

These are different from the abyss succubi of the Silver Moon clan. Compared with the former's smooth and charming bodies, what they possess is primitive and wild enchantment.

This kind of creature is good at provoking the lust of mortals and causing them to fall. At the same time, the bewitching demon also has golden light emerging from its eyes, trying to hypnotize everyone on the opposite side.

"Be careful, it is good at using its desire for power and wealth to dominate humans!"

Lei and Blaise hurriedly avoided it. The old mage would not accept this trick.

Roland had already cast various protective spells on himself, and when he saw this, he roared angrily and directly used "Xingtian Fighting Intent" to transform into a high-level warrior.

Equipment cards appeared on the left and right, turning into bronze axes and shields, standing in front.

Roland did not rush forward rashly, but took out a handful of Siris magic cards, and a series of "magic missiles" roared out.

The fierce attack seemed to be free of charge, directly smashing the vlo demon and succubus in front into a sieve, and even the succubus's spellcasting was interrupted.

But when the smoke and dust dispersed, Roland took a breath of cold air.

He finally learned what magic resistance was.

The opponent actually survived this series of attacks that could kill an elephant. He even seemed to be fine, except for some thumb-sized holes on his body.

The Miju's counterattacks followed one after another.

"Law: Shock"!
"Chaos Hammer"!
Roland raised his shield to resist, and pointed his backhand.

"Power Word: Retreat"!
The huge body of the Bewitching Demon was pushed on its back, and it staggered back a small step.

Lei and Blaise's spell preparations were completed, and each used level 8 "Extreme Ice Ray" and level 1 "Rainfall" to release on the battlefield.

The reaction between the elements was generated, an audible sizzling sound was heard, and the body of the Bewitched Demon quickly froze.

"good chance!"

Roland rushed forward, raised his ax and struck the opponent on the head.

The powerful force made his jaw numb, and he almost lost his weapon.

However, the physical strength blessed by the transformed state allowed him to stabilize quickly, and while silently executing the "Secret Blessing of Six Armors", another big ax fell.

An ax!Two axes!Three axes!
In the end, Roland hit him with a headshot with an ax and killed the high-level demon.

During this period, Gang Kidd, Atali and others were guarding the flanks from beginning to end, resisting other demons and preventing Roland from falling into the enemy formation and being besieged.

Trina also participated in the battle, but she was very smart and did not change back to her original form. She just walked around Roland in her elf form to provide support and protection.

It is not her duty to fight for humanity, but to protect her financial backers and long-term meal tickets.

"Those guys are summoning their companions, kill them quickly!"

At this moment, an urgent call came from the side.

In the center of the large venue, one after another magic lights lit up, and purple-red smoke filled the air.

Another batch of new demons appear!
"Press up, press them all! At any cost, destroy the door to the other world and interrupt the summoning ceremony!"

Archmage Bolas dragged his frail body and personally led the charge to the front.

Like Roland, he has high-level warrior professional guards around him, which, combined with his ability to cast spells and use props, can play a big role.

But even so, it still took a lot of effort and a lot of losses to reach the gate to the other world that was in operation.

Several high-level mages cast spells together and bombarded the door, blocking the demon army that was pouring out. They also used some props to install on the door, and then caused a violent explosion.

Boom boom boom!

Powerful magic fluctuations continued to come from the door, and the plane barrier finally began to repair itself, forcing the "nail" embedded in its own flesh and blood to squeeze out.

As this portal slowly turned into a phantom and disappeared, the human side finally took the initiative in the battle and completely settled down.

……

After a while, as the last high-level demon collapsed, everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison to celebrate the victory.

After counting, we found that we had lost a total of 37 middle and low-level mages, as well as more than 300 combatants, and hundreds of others were injured.

But Archmage Bolas was overjoyed: "Fortunately, the door here is only open for a while. If it had been here for a long time, or even longer, it would have been difficult to deal with."

Everyone agreed: "That's true. The longer the door is open, the more high-level demons are summoned, and the harder it is to close it."

"There are almost countless demons in the abyss, so many layers, different lords and strong men, all kinds of them.

Most demons also have the ability to summon "summon demons" of their own kind, and some are even the followers of evil gods. "

"If this triggers a chain reaction... it would be unimaginable!" The key to this battle is to deal with it in time, attack at all costs, and break the summoning door.

"Ahem...guard, follow me."

Archmage Bolas coughed a few times and ordered.

He turned to the other side, but in front of everyone, he controlled Gallo, who had also participated in the battle before.

"Gallo, your disciple colluded with the devil and plotted evil, almost causing irreparable harm to Atrein and Reiner's world. You should accept the review and prove your innocence..."

Gallo lowered his head and said nothing more.

"Gallo is in trouble this time. Even if he can prove his innocence, he still cannot escape the crime of oversight."

"Yes, summoning the Abyss Legion is not a simple matter. Before Piero entered the Mage Tower, he was just an ordinary apprentice. In a few years, he has reached this point. If he says he is completely unaware, who will believe it?"

"I'm afraid even Master Watson will be implicated..."

Lei, Blaise and others were somewhat gloating about the misfortune and started talking quietly.

Roland was not in the mood to care about such things. He came to the stage and watched as everyone cleaned up the battlefield. Diego's body was carried over and placed in front of him.

"Sir Roland, I'm very sorry. We have tried our best."

"We couldn't save his soul."

The two pastors of the Church of Light lowered their heads and saluted.

Roland said: "It's not your fault. His soul was absorbed by the dark game."

While the priest was leaving to inform his family, Roland observed a moment of silence in front of Diego.

But instead of wallowing in regret and remembrance, he promptly activated his connection with the Talisman of Siris, and tried to summon the soul of Diego with the help of his mysterious induction.

At this time, the Kingdom of God Game Duel Arena had disappeared, but Roland could sense that there was a large amount of Siris-related willpower stored in it.

A part of that resonance that spans the universe also remains inside.

They did not come out of thin air, but were driven by things such as the development of the Seris language in Reiner World and the promotion of the Phantom Magic card game during this period.

Relying on this linguistic connection, Roland successfully left his mark on this kingdom of God.

The recognition of many players and the audience is his background, and the words printed on the cards, the descriptions of various skills and roles, are the anchor points for guidance.

He miraculously sensed a bit of Diego's presence!
It was like entering the kingdom of God and becoming a heroic spirit, answering his call in the dark.

Roland's eyes lit up and he felt something was going on. An idea that he had had before became clear and concrete.

"In this case...maybe it is possible!"

Soon after.

"Diego!"

Mobrun and Lacey rushed over and cried miserably.

Especially Mobrun, who lost his son in middle age, felt completely hopeless.

After a while, Mobron noticed that Roland was nearby and asked quickly: "Mr. Roland, I heard that Atline has a way to summon souls and even resurrect people. Is it possible to use it on Diego?

No matter what the cost, I am willing to..."

When Lacey heard this, she stopped and looked at Roland with red eyes.

Of course she knew that Roland was very capable. He was her brother's teacher, her father's benefactor, and the man behind Miss Sophia and Miss Polina.

"Mr. Moblan, I understand your feelings, but as a miraculous art, "Resurrection" has many strict conditions to perform.

And with all due respect, even if you can meet these conditions, you can't afford the cost of casting the spell.

Even the dignitaries in the world of high demons may not be able to bear it. "

Roland's words made Moblan and Lacey despair.

But these are obvious things, and no matter how unwilling you are, you can only accept them.

"However, I just thought of a way, maybe I can try it..."

"What method? You said that as long as I can do it, I will fully cooperate, even if it requires my soul to be replaced!"

Mobron said eagerly with renewed hope.

Roland said: "You have good common sense in magic, and you know the principles of these equivalent exchanges, but the method I mentioned does not require the use of souls to replace it, but the special method of apotheosis of Siris.

Have you ever watched "The Romance of the Gods"?It was mentioned in it. "

"Are you talking about the story of Nezha cutting off his flesh to return to his mother, removing his bones to return to his father, and building a temple to receive incense?" Moblan's eyes lit up.

In "The Romance of the Gods", Nezha was born to face calamity, has great magical powers, and causes trouble one after another.

In order not to harm his family and the people of Chentangguan, he committed suicide.

His master Taiyi Zhenren taught Nezha to ask Mrs. Mengyin to build a temple for him and enjoy some incense in the world, so as to reestablish the human world.

Although it was later smashed by his father and eventually rebuilt using lotus roots, this section talks about the relationship between human incense and belief in gods.

Many magicians thought this was a metaphor for the principle of the road to becoming a god. Some broken souls want to reunite, or mortals gain divinity, and it is inevitable to collect and use the power of faith.

As to whether one must have faith first in order to gather divinity, or whether one must first have divinity in order to collect and utilize faith, that is a matter of opinion.

Different roads have different explanations.

In a high-demon world, this kind of thing is just fiction, but in a low-demon world, it's genuine "precious knowledge."

"The method I thought of is similar, which is to let Diego's deeds spread and enjoy some incense, and then try to use "wishes" and other means to assist the card-making method to recall his soul.

By the way, soul is a unique term of my Seris school, which is different from the traditional soul in the magic world.

The soul refers to the spiritual aura of a person, which constitutes the person's thinking and intelligence, and the soul refers to the rough and turbid yin energy, which constitutes the person's sensory body.

This is a spiritual carrier that contains emotions and memories. It can restore the temperament, memory and emotions of the person to the greatest extent. If it is difficult to do so in all aspects, then we can only take the core of the true spirit and rely on the people. Faith forges divinity.

In a sense, divinity and humanity are relative. If he relies on this method to become a god, he will also be restricted by some gods..."

"Conferred God!" Moberon had no intention of listening to what Roland had to say.

He didn't understand arcane things either. He only knew what Roland said and did what he did.

As long as there is hope!
