Chapter 407: The Battle to Become Famous, the Legend of the Xiahai Fantasy Land!
……
"Mission name: Battle of Fame (World Legend)!
Mission description: Your legend upgrade has come to the most critical moment. If you win this battle of fame, the entire Aiendor continent will hear your name.
Mission rewards:
1. Every point of legend you gain during the Battle of Fame mission is a world legend.
World legend will be converted into additional charm and added to you. This charm is not restricted by 20 points of legendary charm.
2. If you gain 3 points of world legend during the Battle of Fame mission, you will gain a super magic ability "Spell Extreme Effect".
Spell Extreme Effect: The spells you cast will stably achieve the maximum effect.
3. If you gain more than 3 points of world legend during the Battle of Fame mission, then every 1 point of world legend will provide you with 10% legendary resistance penetration and the effect of increasing the upper limit of "Spell Extreme Effect"!
In addition.
The title you gain during the Battle of Fame will get double the title effect."
……
"Spell Extreme Effect"!
This is a very powerful super magic ability.
It is not included in the enchantment package provided by Surel because this ability is too precious.
You have to know.
Even for the most stable mages, there will be deviations in the intensity and frequency of each spell output.
The most intuitive one is the fireball spell -
Maybe today's good state will make the fireball big and round;
Tomorrow's bad state will make the fireball thin and wilted.
And the spell extreme effect can help the unstable state of the mage to play the upper limit effect he wants.
This is of great significance for actual combat.
After all, stable output is the common goal pursued by all mages, and it is also their consensus to eliminate randomness as much as possible.
The upper and lower limits of a single spell are also reflected in the instant death spell.
Because of the strictness of the instant death judgment.
Many times, the instant death spell you have worked hard to prepare is often in vain.
This situation is not only frustrating, but may even be fatal!
Although the spell extreme effect cannot directly increase the success rate of the instant death judgment, it can stably ensure that the instant death spell can achieve the maximum effect, thereby reducing the probability of the instant death judgment failing.
In a sense.
This super magic ability can greatly improve Matthew's ability to kill people in one second.
His instant death judgment is already much stronger than that of ordinary necromancers.
If the spell extreme effect can be further improved, and other super magic abilities can be stacked.
He believes that he will definitely subvert people's stereotypes about the instant death spell and become the god of death who touches anyone and dies!
"But things like legendary degrees are not easy to deal with."
"And it's the world legendary degree of Aindo."
Matthew subconsciously touched his chin.
Obviously.
This task is to encourage himself to do something.
Events like the floating cemetery appearing over the Rolling Stone City can only attract the attention of the entire South at most, and it is really difficult to influence the whole world.
Unless...
"Unless I make another big news?"
Matthew's eyes turned, and he thought of another idea:
"Or hire a water army like those who are not legendary enough but want to be promoted to legend?"
His eyes gradually lit up.
To make a small thing into a big effect, isn't there a ready-made talent among the people he knows?
"I wonder if Luo Lan has finished writing the previous press release."
"Even if not, I have to give him some tasks!"
Matthew pondered secretly.
He then looked at another task.
...
"Mission name: New guardian!
Mission description: Kill only to protect!
The demon army is trying to invade your homeland and lay claim to the land you cherish. It's time to give them a head-on blow!
Mission rewards:
1. For every 10,000 demons killed or defeated, you will randomly obtain a high-level spell or ability exclusive to druids.
2. For a total of 50,000 demons killed or defeated, you will randomly obtain a legendary wilderness form.
3. During the invasion of the demon army, if you successfully protect the Rolling Stone City, you will be awarded the title of the new generation of "Human Guardian".
Human Guardian: You will be widely supported and respected by humans;
When you enter the legend, this title will be sublimated into a domain authority;
After you have protected On the land, you will get additional recognition from the will of the plane and a +1 luck effect.
…
Tip: You have killed or defeated more than 10,000 demons cumulatively, and you have obtained a randomly drawn spell or ability-
Advanced Resurrection: You can use this spell on a dying or dead unit. Depending on the death period, this spell will have different effects-
1. Dying state: The unit will be resurrected with full health, and the rest of the body functions will be restored to 80% of the level of the heyday, and can remember everything that happened in the dying state.
2. Death time is less than seven days: The unit will be resurrected with full health, and the rest of the body functions will be restored to 60% of the level of the heyday, losing all memories during the death period, but retaining all memories before death.
3. The time of death is more than seven days but less than forty-nine days: The unit can be resurrected, but it may be disabled or have root causes. In addition, the unit may have mild or severe amnesia, and its personality may also change.
4. The death time is more than forty-nine days: The effect of resurrection is doubtful, and the probability of success is extremely low. Even if it succeeds by luck, the person who is resurrected may not be the person himself, but an undead with the memories of others. "
…
"Not bad, much stronger than the resurrection ability provided by the Miracle Pot."
Matthew is still very satisfied with the spell he just drew.
In fact.
He was happy with all the spells he could get for free.
The only regret is that the advanced resurrection technique cannot be used on himself, otherwise Matthew will have another way to save his life.
As for the mission "Reborn Guardian".
Matthew also liked it very much.
He was originally meant to kill the devil, but now that he had added extra motivation, why not?
"There seems to be no human god in history."
"I wonder what kind of power comes with the title of Guardian of Humanity?"
While he was thinking about it, he poured himself a large bottle of vitality potion.
Now Matthew is in urgent need of returning to form.
The powerful spellcasting just now, coupled with the control of flying at the ceremony site, almost emptied Matthew's mental power and mana.
In fact, he was not that optimistic about dealing with the first wave of demons.
But the results are quite gratifying.
The two legendary level spells, Alister's Claw and Deadly Scissors, showed quite terrifying dominance on the frontal battlefield.
Matthew rough estimate.
About 3,000 elite demons from the two demon legions were destroyed by these two spells.
Especially the Claw of Alester.
The scope it involves is too wide, and the impact is earth-shattering.
After witnessing these two great spells.
It is estimated that no one will continue to charge towards the cemetery.
certainly.
Matthew also knew very well that the Frozen Miles attached to the Skull of Augustus also exerted a powerful control effect.
On the war zone.
Ice element-related group attack spells are indeed more valuable.
"The legendary mage does have the ability to protect one side."
"I'm not even a legend yet, but I can single-handedly destroy an army of tens of thousands of demons. Although there is something special about the necromancer, the mage profession is indeed a super model..."
Matthew sighed secretly in his heart.
No wonder Richard was envious of mages at first. For legendary powerhouses like them, this may be a more touching thing.
On the battlefield below the cemetery.
Rhaegar and Barton walked among the corpses of demons in silence.
They looked at the devastated wounds and miserable state of the demons, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Barton didn't know what Rhaegar was thinking.
But this thought resounded in his heart:
"The only difference between me and Rega is that we lack a powerful mage like Matthew!"
"If Matthew could have been on my side during the battle at Wild Wolf Mountain, maybe that demon wouldn't have had the chance to wreak havoc!"
Then he shook his head helplessly.
He was a very realistic man and knew full well the futility of such fantasies.
Although there is not much contact.
But he also knew about the strong relationship between Rhaegar and Matthew.
Except for envy.
I don't have any room to operate.
Think of this.
Barton sighed softly.
At this moment, he saw Rhaegar suddenly squatting down, and then groping on a demon that had lost its lower body.
"You don't really want to clean up the battlefield, do you?"
Barton was a little dumbfounded.
"if not?"
Rega said without thinking:
"You're here, you have to do something, right?"
Barton was speechless.
He was just about to remind Rhaegar tactfully that things like cleaning the battlefield were always left to those with the lowest status.
But at this time.
The demon that was touched by Rega suddenly twitched!
Rhaegar was obviously taken aback.
But his reaction was quite quick. He immediately threw away the heavy sword, pulled out a thin sword from his waist, and then stabbed it into the demon's throat!
puff!
There was a muffled sound.
Rhaegar pulled out his rapier, and blood surged from the demon's throat. After struggling twice, he finally died completely!
"call!"
Rhaegar let out a long breath.
Immediately he looked at the rapier in his hand and his face lit up:
"My sword can be considered as drinking the blood of demons!"
"Finally my trip was not in vain!"
"You can brag to others later that I killed a demon with one sword strike!"
Barton couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this.
But not long after.
He couldn't help but find a still struggling, half-dead demon on the battlefield.
Then he stabbed him with a knife!
…
Matthew naturally didn’t know about the little episode between Rhaegar and Barton.
He recovered for a while.
He planned to persuade Representative Rhaegar to go back and garrison the city wall.
But Rhaegar firmly disagreed.
He thought it was too unfair for Matthew to bear all the risks on the frontal battlefield alone.
As the king of the Rolling Stone Kingdom.
He has the obligation and right to fight alongside Matthew.
Rhaegar was not the only one to think so.
The other cavalry and fire bat soldiers who followed him had similar thoughts.
Without any choice.
Matthew had no choice but to agree to Rhaegar's request for assistance.
The two sides discussed briefly.
In the end.
Matthew decided to let Rhaegar's cavalry set up several mobile outposts at the edge of the oak forest and the edge of the moss-green hills.
The fire bat soldiers attacked from the sky, regularly checking the movements in the Resting Wasteland and the situation in the north near the city of Strom.
This helped to supplement Matthew's existing intelligence system.
Not long after.
One of the fire bat soldiers brought back a tragic news:
The North Trading Post bordering Strom had become a hell on earth. All the people there were killed by demons, and many bodies were hung on the wooden walls of the trading post by demons.
It is said that the demons also planned to set fire.
Although the fire bat soldiers were indignant, they did not dare to go down and confront the demon army that far exceeded their number. They only shot and killed a few demons in the air and hurried back to report.
Hearing this news.
Matthew could only sigh slightly.
Because of the newly built Rolling Stone City, the population of the original North Trade Station in Rolling Stone Town has been much less than before.
Most people and shops have moved to the city.
But there are still a small number of people who stay in the North Trade Station, including a garrison responsible for local security.
The garrison has a total of six people, all of whom are good guys recruited in Rolling Stone Town, and now they have become food in the mouths of demons.
It can be seen that the cruelty of the demon invasion.
This is no longer an ordinary war, this is a war about the survival of the race!
No wonder Matthew, who guards Rolling Stone City, will have the opportunity to get the title of "Guardian of Humanity"!
If he can't stop the demon army.
Then the tens of thousands of humans in Rolling Stone City will also become food for the demon army!
Rega was also very angry after hearing the news.
Matthew had to pat him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then ordered the fire bat soldiers to continue to inquire about the situation.
He knew very well.
This is destined to be a hard and difficult war.
I only achieved such brilliant results in the first wave by relying on the advantage of the terrain and taking advantage of the fact that the demon vanguard lacked high-level mages and could not counter me!
The subsequent battles may not be so smooth.
They must be fully prepared!
On the battlefield.
The Mother of Coolies led the zombies to drag the broken bodies of the demons slowly onto the cemetery that was slowly landing.
The undead transformation pool has been filled.
Matthew asked Ali to work overtime to open up a few more transformation pools to improve the efficiency of replenishing soldiers in the cemetery.
On the other side.
Several abominations with a body size of more than 5 meters crawled out of the yellow fog.
They are "demon abominations".
They are elite undeads that Matthew automatically summons after killing the enemy with the deadly scissors.
Each abomination that came out of the yellow fog is at least level 18, and the two fattest ones are as high as level 20.
Compared with ordinary abominations.
Demon abominations have higher health points, stronger resistance, and uglier appearance.
The yellow mist coming out of their bodies was full of sulfur, probably because these demons had inhaled a lot of sulfur in their lifetime.
These abominations can exert extremely strong combat power on a regular battlefield, and can even influence the war situation in a certain direction.
It is another excellent supplement for the cemetery's troops.
Matthew counted them.
There are a total of 7 demon abominations.
He handed over the command of the abominations to the black warrior Argus - this guy currently has the same rank as Li Ruike, and has a previously formed cemetery patrol team.
But compared to Li Ruike's skeleton army, Argus's troops are obviously fewer in number. For the sake of balance, Matthew assigned the abominations to him.
Matthew also knew.
Qishan Shield Argus is actually an undead general who is not inferior to the skeleton prince Li Ruike.
He didn't have much room to play before.
The main reason is that this guy is too "homesick" and refuses to leave a place too far away from the cemetery.
But now it's different.
The cemetery can fly.
Argus could see the cemetery wherever he went, so he could naturally exert his full combat power.
Matthew planned to hand over more troop-leading tasks to Argus.
Argus did not disappoint Matthew.
Just when Li Rick was busy leading people to search for equipment on the demon corpses and arm his skeleton swordsmen.
Argus had already proposed to Matthew to build fortifications along the cemetery mountain all the way north.
There are two types of fortifications that Argus hopes to build -
One is the east-west gullies.
The other is the earthen towers dotted between these gullies.
"According to my observation, the strongest troops in the demon vanguard are the cavalry demons. The large number of gullies running east-west are enough to greatly reduce the lethality of the cavalry demons, and can also provide General Li Ruike's skeleton swordsmen with a deep space for ambush and surprise attack."
"Simple towers can not only serve as lookout facilities, but also allow the extreme cold archers to go up and implement fire suppression."
"More importantly, building some towers that are easy to walk on can allow the cemetery to maintain unimpeded troop transportation without landing on the ground - when necessary, you only need to lower the height of the cemetery, and the undead can use the tower to climb to the ground, which is much better than falling directly."
"And once these towers lose their function, we can overturn them and push them into specific ravines to fill them..."
As soon as it hit the ground.
Argus showed great military ability.
After hearing this, Matthew pondered for a moment and then agreed.
soon.
The Black Warriors took the zombies and dug trenches.
Maybe it’s because of the professional counterpart.
The efficiency of Argus and the zombies was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, two three-kilometer-long ravines appeared on the ground.
According to this efficiency.
It is estimated that Argus and the tireless zombies can plow the northern wasteland overnight!
"Agus and Miaosaki have a good relationship..."
Matthew looked at the back of the Black Knight thoughtfully.
To know.
Myasaki, the mother of coolies, has always gone her own way in the cemetery.
Even Ali, the director of the cemetery, didn't give him face.
Others who wanted to borrow coolie zombies had to give orders from Matthew himself, but Agus did not ask Matthew for help this time. He just said hello to Miaosaki, and the zombies followed suit to dig trenches. .
It seems that the relationship between the two is really unusual.
certainly.
Matthew is not the kind of boss who can't help but feel jealous.
As long as it has no impact on work efficiency.
Cemetery romances between elite undead are also acceptable.
The cemetery is very busy.
The Sanctuary of Life, which was also threatened by demons, also launched wartime preparations.
Matthew took the time to take a trip to the woods.
Then he, together with the fairy princess Lulu, the owl Ella, the tree shepherd Obest and an elder of the centaur tribe, made several forest guard summons.
Matthew had already summoned some of the Oak Guards before.
And this time.
They want to activate more trees to gain stronger defense forces.
The end result is quite satisfying.
Together there are oak forests, pine forests and, more recently, birch forests run by centaurs.
A total of 86 forest guards were awakened.
These forest guards came to the northern border area under the control of the Heart of the World Tree.
They monitor the situation in the north and are ready to respond to possible invasions by demons.
Because of the damage reduction and sharing provided by World Tree Bogard.
These forest guards possess unimaginable openness.
Matthew also asked Rhaegar to send people to transport a large number of stones to the forest guards.
With these stones.
These forest guards can transform into ruthless stone-throwing machines.
No matter how physically strong the demons are.
That is also a mortal body.
Being hit by a boulder falling from the sky can only turn it into a puddle of meat paste.
besides.
The Centaur tribe set up a ceremonial site called the Green Barrier at the edge of the forest;
Eugene, the Son of the Forest, also activates the Forest Maze.
The former can push unwelcome creatures out of the woods.
This is a repulsive force field that is continuously in effect.
Although it cannot be effective against all demons, it is enough to cause chaos when the demon army invades the woods.
The latter turned the forest into a huge maze.
If the demons really dare to enter the woods.
Then Eugene and his rangers will definitely give the enemy a fatal blow!
In fact, compared to the cemetery on the plain.
Matthew would rather the demons attack the woods.
The main reason is that the cemetery lacks cover. If they really fight, it will be a head-to-head confrontation. At most, they will have a suspended terrain advantage.
There is so much tactical space to play in the woods.
Just prepare rain prayer spells in advance to prevent the demons from jumping over the wall and setting fire to the forest.
Unfortunately, the leader of the demon army is not a fool either.
Matthew reckons in the short term.
The two sides will still face each other on the frontal battlefield in the north of Rolling Stone City.
Matthew's side is undergoing vigorous war preparations.
His allies didn't rest either -
The fire bat soldiers sent by Rhaegar have already made contact with the bullywug tribe in the Moss Green Hills.
There is already a bullywug team ambushing at the hilly border, ready to provide support at any time;
A mobile post of the Rolling Stone Cavalry was also in place;
All the magic ships of the Southern Wizard Legion were also docked in the mountains near the Moss Green Hills.
They are hidden in the fog.
You can rush to the battlefield at any time before the second wave of war begins.
And during this period.
Matthew also received magical letters from Hood and Vivian one after another.
After reading these two letters.
Matthew's expression became slightly solemn.
Just as he expected.
Rolling Stone wasn't the only location to be attacked by demonic hordes.
Hood's Rapid City and the Gem Bay, the home base of Ronan and his wife, were also invaded from the abyss!
It's fine over there in Grand Rapids.
Because some time and space cracks had appeared before, Hood had been fully prepared to deal with the demons and made a lot of preparations for this.
The old guy also has a golem army in his hands that is not inferior to Matthew's army of the undead.
Therefore, the pressure faced on the frontal battlefield is not serious.
The situation in Gem Bay is a bit worse.
Vivian told Matthew that not only were there a large number of demonic ships on the sea, but there were also two legendary demons trying to board the nearby port!
Because of the lack of support from Ronan and his wife.
The situation in Gem Bay is not optimistic, and she must mobilize more magic ships to return support.
However, she still left two magic ships and more than thirty members of the Southern Wizard Legion for Matthew.
in this case.
It is already commendable.
Matthew exchanged opinions and communicated with the remaining members of the Southern Magistrate Corps.
Then he met the temporary leader of these two magic ships——
It was the young mage who had divined for Vivian before.
Matthew then learned that his name was Yu Qi.
A pretty Sioux name.
After the two talked politely.
Only then did Matthew realize that Yu Qi only looked young, but his actual age was already over forty!
besides.
Yu Qi not only has Sioux ancestry.
And like Qin Wuyue, he has a high degree of spiritual identification with the Su country.
Even his profession is not a mage.
But a star magician unique to the Sioux tribe!
In the simple reception room of the cemetery.
While drinking tea, Yu Qi smiled and chatted:
"Master Qin Wuyue and I come from the same place. I actually don't have much impression of that place because my parents took me away from there when I was very young, so all my memories of that place come from my parents. Narrative.”
"That place is called Tianpeng Island. It is located in the fantasy world of Xiahai. It is said that it is a fantasy world created by the dreams of a giant beast called Tianpeng."
"After the fall of the Su Kingdom, our ancestors hid in Tianpeng Island and spent a long time living and working in peace and contentment there."
"In fact, on Tianpeng Island, we don't call ourselves Sioux people, but rather call ourselves the more precise "Fairy Clan"..."
"One day later, the ancestors rescued an outsider on the beach of Tianpeng Island. The man was said to come from outside the Xiahai Fantasy Realm. He told us that there was another giant beast that felt the breath of Tianpeng and wanted to Devouring this illusion, the ship he was on was destroyed by the giant beast, and he accidentally entered Tianpeng Island..."
"The outsider fell ill soon after. At first, the people on the island did not take his words seriously."
"It wasn't until a certain period of time that abnormal undersea earthquakes and tsunamis began to occur frequently in Xiahai Illusion, and two scarlet eyes appeared in the night sky. Only then did the immortals on the island resume using astrology that had been sealed for many years. It’s confirmed that there is indeed a giant beast that wants to devour our home.”
"And the name of that giant beast is Leviathan!"
Hear this.
Matthew raised his eyelids slightly:
"Is it the underwater giant beast that was subdued by the unknown mage and later became Ekmund's pet?"
Yu Qi nodded:
"it's him!"
"It was precisely because of the need to fight against Leviathan that the immortals on the island took the initiative to step out of the Xiahai illusion and have their first contact with the magical civilization of Irondor continent..."
Matthew suddenly became interested:
"It turns out that you got in touch with the alliance under such circumstances..."
"Did the talents on Tianpeng Island take the initiative to join the alliance because the unknown mage conquered Leviathan?"
"By the way, where is Ms. Qin Wuyue?"
"What was her status on the island at that time?"
Yu Qi smiled and said:
"At that time, Ms. Qin Wuyue was already the leader of the Tianpeng Island Immortal Clan. She showed powerful magical abilities, but due to the previous clan rules, she never had the space to display them."
"In order to protect his homeland and fight against the giant beast Leviathan, Qin Wuyue led a group of people to leave the Xiahai Fantasy Realm. As a result, as soon as they arrived in the sea outside, they bumped into the unknown mage and Leviathan!"
Matthew nodded:
"It seems to be pretty much what I guessed."
Yu Qi smiled and shook his head:
"No."
“Reality is very different than you imagine.”
"In fact, the unknown mage at that time did not want to conquer Leviathan."
"He's fighting another divine mage!"
"It was precisely because of the fight between the two of them that the Xiahai illusion was shaken violently."
"It is said that at that time, Leviathan was in a similar situation to us puny humans. They both huddled aside and tried their best to resist the aftermath of the fight between the two great gods and mages..."
"As for the divine mage who fought with the unknown mage..."
"It is your mentor——"
"Ms. Isabel."
…
