(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone! Happy National Day!)
Valsaris's defeat did not involve an "advanced teleportation technique", but a "mantra of return" to teleport directly back to his lair.
It's not that she can't do it.
If it were just a person, she could easily retreat.
But the number of people who retreated with her was a bit too much.
Moreover, those who are still closely following her at this time are her confidants and her capable subordinates.
She values these close subordinates far more than those Baatezu devils.
She was not prepared to give up these bits unless necessary.
And since Leylin Evans and others were not chasing them, there was no need for her to abandon these confidants and teleport away alone.
That's why.
The retreat this way is a bit time-consuming.
Even though they passed through several secret magic gates on the way, they did not wait for Valsaris to retreat back to her lair.
On Lismaiasa's side, she has generally recovered from her fatigue, exhaustion, and injury.
The casualties in this battle were certainly extremely heavy, but based on the preliminary preparations for the war resources, Lismaiasa's side was extremely abundant.
Especially the Black Staff Tower and the Dark Maiden Corridor, the corresponding magic resources and medical resources are all prepared beyond the standard.
When the war came to an end for the time being, Leylin-Evans and the others were quickly tracking Valsaris' escape route.
Since there were people there, medical resources were immediately mobilized.
A large number of healing potions and magical scrolls were quickly used.
Get rid of fatigue!
Refresh your energy!
Treat the injury!
Remove the abnormal state!
Even severed limbs can be regenerated!
It can be said that, except for the "resurrection" that is currently restricted and requires divine intervention, which cannot be carried out directly, various magical resources are being used at all costs.
Following this, everyone's condition recovery and injury recovery couldn't be faster.
Valsaris didn't even retreat to his lair.
The warriors who had recovered, but were more and more eager for revenge, gathered around Leylin Evans and others.
However, they can be eager, Leylin Evans and Laila, but they don't have any impulse.
Although the damage to Valsaris was huge this time, they naturally did not think that there would be no defense force in her lair.
Especially, Mephistopheles is right over there.
Once they faced the Demon King of Hell, they needed someone to entangle him and enough spellcasters to cooperate in performing high-magic rituals. This would be even more difficult.
Therefore, before chasing after them, it was necessary for them to have a thorough enough plan first, not only to make it difficult for Mephistopheles to call in more devils' army, but also to be in trouble. , or even prepare for failure, so as not to fall into a situation where the escape route is cut off!
Fortunately, it was them who attacked this time.
It would not be like the previous battle where we had to hold on and the casualties could not be controlled.
"Our target for this raid is only Mephistopheles."
"As long as this Hell Demon King can be expelled back to hell, Valsaris won't be able to waste any time."
"So, this time we can be more flexible in our advance and retreat..."
Without being covert or avoiding anything, Laila and others were observing Valsaris's escape while discussing and arranging the action plan.
After the previous battle, it was impossible for the people around him to have any more spies or traitors.
She will no longer take any deliberate avoidance or precautionary measures.
"Kui Lu and I will use high magic rituals to solve Mephistopheles, but there are three major problems!"
"First of all, in order to ensure that the ceremony can proceed smoothly, we must try our best not to get into a melee. At least we must lure Mephistopheles to show up before entering the melee, so that we can have a suitable spellcasting environment and designation. The target of the spell..."
"Secondly, the ritual requires 27 spell-casting assistants, and from preparation to completion, it takes at least 10 seconds of preparation and casting time. During this period, the ritual cannot be destroyed, and the spells on the opposite side must be guarded against. When attacking, you must also be prepared for teleportation attacks from demons..."
"Finally, during the ceremony, for Mephistopheles, it is necessary to restrict his teleportation and retreat, or even force him to be unable to perform 'Legend Dispel' to resist the ceremony..."
Laila had been studying Mephistopheles for a long time. At this time, one thing came after another.
However, in her voice, the expressions of Leylin Evans, Prophet Hill and others were all wrinkled.
If it is said that Mephistopheles can be lured to show up, this is still possible.
If you create 10 seconds of preparation and operation time for the ceremony, it is not hopeless if you work hard.
But to limit Mephistopheles' teleportation ability, or even force it, it would be difficult to even use "Legendary Dispelling", at least it would be difficult to use it against high magic rituals...
His eyes slightly wrinkled, and after much consideration, Leylin Evans finally shook his head: "I have some confidence in inducing Mephistopheles to show up.
But to prevent the opponent's spell attacks and teleportation attacks, this is all we can do.
As for restraining Mephistopheles..."
After the voice paused, he did not continue, but the deep frown said everything.
Not to mention that Mephistopheles couldn't even use the "Legendary Dispelling Technique", even if Mephistopheles' teleportation ability was restricted, he had no confidence.
Although the total professional level has reached level 29, the position of "Elf Sword Mage" has given him strong enough melee combat capabilities, and he can even guide the casting of spells through swordsmanship. Moreover, he is not like ordinary spell casters. , once the armor is equipped, some spell casting actions may be affected, and spell casting may fail. However, with the appointment of the "Elf Sword Mage", he can still equip light armor and cast spells without any influence. , it is these advantages that in the previous battle, even if he was surrounded and killed by many high-level demons, he was not afraid, and even fought back with force, but...corresponding to these advantages, "Elf The appointment of "Sword Master" also weakened him in some aspects.
There is no obvious weakness in the two skills of swordsmanship. If you look at it from another angle...
no doubt.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, he would definitely not be as good as a level 29 Elf Swordsman.
In terms of spells alone, he can hardly compete with the level 29 Elf Archmage.
A level 10 "elven sword mage", he was above the caster level, but he had lost five levels!
In other words, his actual caster level is only level 24.
At this caster level, even if he has the specialty of "Advanced Spell Penetration", but...
He can pose a threat to the Hell Fiends, he can fight a group of them one by one, and even make Valsaris escape in panic, but...
Raylin-Evans knew it.
At this level of caster, his spells may not pose much of a threat to Mephistopheles.
The same goes for swordsmanship.
Mephistopheles is the second-ranked Lord of Cania among the Nine Lords of Hell!
Facing a demon king of this level, Leylin Evans really didn't have any confidence that he could pose a threat to him with pure swordsmanship, let alone restrict him!
And all this...
When the real decisive battle came, he didn't have any enthusiasm and irrationality to save the impossible task!
On the contrary, Leylin Evans is quite sincere, understanding the importance of this action and the possible consequences once the high magic ritual is interrupted!
"As long as He shows up, someone will catch Him!"
"Until then, all you have to do is help and prevent unexpected situations from happening as much as possible!"
Laila said this.
Leylin Evans and Prophet Hill were naturally moved in their hearts.
Especially Raylin Evans.
Laila doesn't exaggerate on purpose.
Since Laila said that someone would catch Mephistopheles, then this person...
With just a thought in his mind, Leylin Evans quickly thought of several names.
When he was in the Lost City of Earth Lines, the two people he directly encountered were undoubtedly possible.
Needless to say about the level of power, the same goes for the purpose.
Hellast still casts spells on him, which shows that the mad mage has always paid attention to this matter.
And that mysterious one is also unpredictable. Even now, when Leylin Evans looks back, he is still an archmage whose levels are completely unclear...
"It should have a close relationship with Kui Lu."
"Given how much Kui Lu pays attention to this area, the possibility of her taking action may be even greater than that of Hellast!"
In addition, it is not ruled out whether Laila and Kui Lu also invited Kelben and Minnis.
With this thought, Leylin Evans put away his frown and nodded: "Since Madam has already made arrangements, it is the best. In this case, we will determine the candidates to participate in such an action!"
But he didn't ask who would take action.
Leylin-Evans directly entered into the selection process, which also determined the number of people involved.
At this moment, they are not in a hurry to pursue Elsharis. This is actually because their first choice is not to pursue Valsaris along his escape route.
The reason why this route is recorded is just an insurance policy.
The real first choice is to use the "Mirror of Omniscient" tracking to pinpoint the location.
Then use the "advanced teleportation technique" to directly deliver personnel.
The record of the route is just to prevent the "advanced teleportation technique" from being hindered or even confused, and ending in teleportation failure. This is just an extra layer of insurance!
And because the number of people that can be released by "Advanced Teleportation Technique" is limited, and Lismaiasa's side, whether it is to continue to defend or temporarily transfer, considering those teenagers and children who are hidden, this is obviously not possible. All require manpower arrangements.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for everyone to invest in this action.
Everyone around them is aware of this.
Lyra leads the Black Staff Tower mage group.
Kuilu and Cavatina, who lead the followers of Eilistraee,
Dunant, who represented the support of Waterdeep, also included Leylin Evans.
Plus Seer Seer who leads Lismaiasa.
People from these aspects quickly started a discussion.
It is they who are settling down the arrangements and layouts one after another in an orderly manner.
The situation in Valsaris has always been clearly reflected. In the magic mirror, a dark, yet mysterious and magnificent city was reflected.
Valsaris' lair has arrived!
Everyone looked at each other in unison and immediately gathered over.
But not before they took a closer look.
Suddenly, in the dark scene, a blazing flame shone.
The next moment, the reflection of the dungeon in the magic mirror was directly interrupted.
"Hell Demon Flame!"
"It's Mephistopheles!"
"He's aware of our tracking!"
The first person to change color was Leylin Evans.
Directly manipulating the "Mirror of Omniscient" to track Valsaris, he could feel the evil and scorching heat of the blazing flame, which must be Mephistopheles' hellish flame!
Isaac is also very certain about this.
He has also been exposed to hellfire.
No matter in the early years, he tried to attack the green of nature, but was ambushed by him. In the end, he was the great devil who was promoted to the deep hell fiend that he destroyed.
Still recently, it was the tiefling psychic Magadon who had contact.
This is the power related to "Hell Fire" that Kudu controls.
Therefore, he is naturally no stranger to "Hellfire".
The blazing brilliance reflected in the magic mirror must be "hell fire"!
However, with the power of "Hellfire", Mephistopheles may be able to forcibly block the magic mirror from his personal detective, but this should not hinder other aspects.
At this time, even the dungeon was completely out of the reflection of the magic mirror!
"It should be the power of the domain!"
"He is using the power of the 'prophecy field'!"
"Only with the power of the 'Prophecy Domain', he can directly interrupt the magic mirror's detection without anyone noticing!"
This thought flashed through Isaac's mind.
This judgment actually verified the accuracy of the information provided by Kui Lu.
Mephistopheles has the main field of "knowledge field"!
And since the magic mirror cannot directly detect the situation in that dungeon...
"We set the teleportation point in the tunnel outside the city, so we chose that iconic stone forest area."
"Do you have any questions?"
The performance of advanced teleportation requires a clear location or a clear understanding of the situation.
The stone forest area is undoubtedly impressive, making it easier to locate and teleport!
"Can!"
"In that case, let's divide our work and see you outside the stone forest!"
Laila said, waving her hand and taking out a few more high-level scrolls.
Naturally, they are all "advanced teleportation scrolls".
Before her trip to Lismaiasa, Laila was already quite well prepared for such resources.
