Chapter 255:
The next morning, at the top of the Endless Tower.
"The magic power currently stored in the tower can guarantee the teleportation of four people." Shitou reported to Ganouen.
"I feel like there should be more magic power." Ganon said.
"No, my lord, the magic power consumed by teleportation from different planes is not the same level, and we must reserve basic magic power to ensure the operation of the tower. When you need to urgently teleport, it will most likely mean that your plan to attack the abyss will be frustrated. , then we may need to deal with a counterattack." Shitou put forward his suggestion very smoothly, "You should have the remaining personnel ready at any time." "That makes sense." Ganouen nodded, "You think about the
problem It seems more comprehensive than before."
He gradually discovered that Shitou's work efficiency was constantly improving, and his judgment ability was also stronger, and he could even assume and foresee the development of events and provide plans, just like an AI that is constantly upgrading itself.
"This is thanks to my Lord's efforts in the restoration work." Shitou replied respectfully.
"Then you go help me explain to Zhenna and the others. Let them deploy some troops around the tower first. On Anne's side, just inform Raymond." Ganon ordered.
"Okay, but wouldn't you consider choosing another one of them to go with you?" Shitou reminded.
"The fourth candidate..." Ganon thought seriously.
He, Angst and Salil are the must-choose characters for this battle. The fourth person is actually not necessary. Three legendary levels launched a surprise attack on Hilmeria. I think Hilmeria should be difficult to resist. .
But that is the enemy's home field after all. With that kind of strength, Hilmeria must have a considerable degree of power in the abyss. Although the timely deployment of troops in the event of a surprise attack is very limited, it is certainly not impossible.
What's more, she also has the Tears of the Mother Goddess that can create clones.
Being at a numerical disadvantage will not necessarily lead to defeat, but it will probably give Hilmeria a chance to escape the surprise attack and regroup.
From this point of view, for them, every quota is actually very precious. Even one more person to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers can greatly increase the success rate of the operation.
Ganoen couldn't help but think about the fourth candidate. If we look at the level of strength, Anellojie is obviously the best candidate. She is gradually integrating the source blood. As a vampire, her level is between the Duke and the Prince, which is enough to fight against A necromancer who stands at the pinnacle of extraordinary realm.
But the Vampires can deal with succubi with ordinary bodies. Facing ordinary demons with different life forms from normal creatures, it should be difficult to exert their full strength. Moreover, on the one hand, she has little combat experience, and on the other hand, there are no bones prepared in advance to manipulate in away battles, so her necromancy skills are also relatively small.
"I'll go with you." The voice coming from the corridor made Ganouen turn around.
The fully armed Zhenna also came to the top of the tower and was watching him calmly.
She put on the alloy plate armor made by Mora, and carried a set of long swords and shields on her back. The shield was the secondary artifact "Innocuous Blessing", and the long sword was the sacred object "Judgment Day" enshrined in Paradise Mountain - -The latter is an artifact that she cannot use yet, but Sariel in Ganon or Seraph state can still use it.
"It may be more dangerous." Ganon only gave a brief reminder.
"My strength is not as good as yours, but I can still protect myself. If the situation goes bad, I will teleport away directly and won't hold you back." Zhenna answered simply.
"Okay, then it's settled." Ganon didn't say much. He had fought alongside Zhenna many times, and he still had this level of trust in her.
As a paladin, Zhenna is indeed the most suitable fourth candidate.
After a while, Angest, who was wearing combat night uniform, came up quietly and asked Ganouen: "Do I have to sign a contract?" "
If you want to be teleported back safely." Ganouen replied.
"If you choose to sign the 'Prisoner's Contract', you may be able to cover part of the devil's contract and reduce the restrictions on you." At this time, Shitou suddenly suggested.
"That means I have to allow you to claim ownership of my soul?" Angst raised her eyebrows. "Yes, but I think my master should be more trustworthy than the devil who signed the contract with you. You can set a time limit." Shitou said.
The contract signed by Angost is deeply bound to her soul and is difficult to cut off.
But the contract of the Endless Tower has a very high priority. If Angost chooses to sign a prisoner contract with the Endless Tower and hands over the ownership of her soul to Ganon, theoretically Hilmeria cannot be harvested easily. her soul.
But that would also mean that Angost would have to be controlled by Ganon.
"Am I being dominated by you like Anya? Do you have any thoughts about me, Ganouen?" Angst leaned close to Ganouen, her tight night clothes highlighted her exquisite figure.
Zhenna looked at her coldly but said nothing.
"If you just talk but don't practice, it's better not to try to tease others. It's boring. Angost, I know you won't sign the contract." Ganouen was unmoved.
"Haha, it seems that you still prefer younger people." Angst wisely distanced herself from Ganouen again, "I am a person who hates being restrained. Please allow me to use my own method with you first. It would be more appropriate to sign the contract as the final choice."
She said as she transformed the phantom blade, inserted it into her chest, and submerged the entire phantom blade into her body.
This disembodied phantom blade differentiated from the "Disintegration Blade" has a spell-breaking effect and can temporarily cut off the effect of the devil's contract. While the phantom blade is in effect, Hilmeria cannot use the contract to harvest Angest's soul. of.
As a price, Angost not only needs to consume magic power to maintain the operation of the artifact, but the "disintegration blade" in her hand is also equivalent to being castrated from part of its functions during the battle, but for her personally, this is the safest approach.
As soon as Ganon transferred the member contract to Angost, a black shadow rose up along the outside of the tower and landed lightly on the top of the tower.
"Salil." Ganouen moved his gaze, "You have already made up your mind, right." "
Well, I want to make a decision about my life experience." Salil replied softly.
By sneaking into dreams, she retrieved the memories of her birth.
Hilmeria once used the Tears of the Mother Goddess to seduce a Seraph, and used the materials obtained from the Seraphs to blend her own genetic materials with the Tears of the Mother Goddess to create Sariel.
The Seraph who was Salil's father invaded Hilmeria's territory, snatched Salil away after a fight, and sent her to Heaven Mountain. At the same time, he sacrificed himself in some way and sent the Seraph away. The power was transferred to her.
This made her a natural Seraph, and also sealed her succubus bloodline.
Originally, it was unlikely that she would be accommodated by Heavenly Mountain, but things turned out like this. The Seraph Council lost a Seraph and had to consider letting Salil fill this vacancy - this was also to prevent her from falling into the forces of the abyss. .
Frankly speaking, as her father said, she was born without any blessing.
She did not receive any love from her parents - neither angels nor demons had this concept. Hilmeria regarded her as a tool for expansion of power. Her Seraph father took her away and sacrificed her mainly for atonement.
Fortunately, Salil herself did not have this concept. She had never considered her so-called parents since she was born as an angel, and she was not disappointed by this.
She was just a little confused about her future, but she knew very well that no matter how she chose to move forward, she must first face Hilmeria in person and get rid of her bloodline.
She was still grateful to her unmasked father. The power she inherited from him gave her a chance to choose.
Ganon stared into Salil's eyes for a while, then nodded: "Okay, let's set off."
