Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The underground hall is quite spacious.

In that part of the area that belongs to the demon's authority, the ground is covered with twisted lines.

They are connected to special magic circles in the area.

Under the notes in the strategy module, if touched rashly, the sleeping demons and undead demons will be awakened.

I saw Feronas the Criminal advancing along specific lines with ease.

Zong Shen followed closely, and there was no abnormality in the whole process.

It can be seen that Feronas has been to similar places.

After all, he is a veteran demon hunter, and his experience is different after all.

After following him for a while, the two came to a high altar.

This high platform is divided into seven floors, and its shape is a bit like the Mayan pyramid on the other side of the earth.

Each level has a different devil carving.

Either with fangs and claws, or standing with wings spread, the types and postures of the devils on the carvings are different.

Sir, please come with me.

Don't worry, as long as you follow the specific route, you won't touch these stone demons.

Feronas said calmly.

Zong Shen nodded. In fact, he didn't need the other party to lead him.

Navigation in the strategy module can have the same effect.

It's just that it's hard to explain this matter clearly, and he doesn't want Feronas' enthusiasm to be dampened.

Follow Feronas and climb up the side stairway.

This stairway is really steep, and it is actually much more convenient to fly up than to walk up.

But its trick is hidden here.

If it flies up, it will definitely trigger the restriction of the magic circle.

Provoked attacks from those stone demons.

It's not that he's afraid of the stone demon, but there's no need to go to war here.

In the future, the power of the [Demon King's Secret Order] will be gathered together, and these will become a help in protecting the territory.

If these stone demons are fully revived, each of them will basically have epic-level high-level strength.

When gathered together, they are no match for two or three legendary low-level warriors.

Zong Shen followed Feronas and quickly climbed to the top of the altar.

Here, there is a pond-like depression.

It is not a liquid, but a kind of lavender condensed matter energy.

This ball of energy flickers on and off, exuding a soft halo.

But it does not belong to any elemental magic power and has its own characteristics.

A golden note appeared in front of his eyes, and Zong Shen knew that this was the so-called [Source of Demon].

Its essence is an energy source that can be effectively utilized by the blood-burning demon.

Zong Shen said nothing, waiting for Feronas to take the initiative to introduce him.

Lord Lord.

This is the altar that contains the source of demons.

However, because this place has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years, the source of the escaped demons has shown signs of decay.

Feronas stood beside him, still maintaining his indifferent tone.

Zong Shen asked cooperatively.

What is the use of the devil's source?

There was no concern about this matter, and Feronas only smiled slightly.

I can use the source of demons to train a new generation of demon hunters for you.

The remaining devil sources here can probably train 30 to 40 people.

They will become a knife in your hand that specializes in killing.

If the devil comes again in the future, each of the new generation of devil hunters will have the opportunity to grow up.

Demon hunters can become stronger by hunting demons.

Their potential is not determined by time or self-talent.

It is determined by the number of demons killed and personal thoughts.

If the source of the devil is exhausted, will it cause irreversible damage to this place?

Zong Shen was more concerned about whether the burial ground would be affected.

After all, he plans to build a defense line here to guard the northern part of the territory.

If in order to cultivate dozens of new generations of demon hunters, the Bone Burial Ground loses the mechanisms and magic circle abilities left by the demons, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

But Felonas shook his head with a half-smile.

Not really.

This altar is where the source of demons gathers.

“And there are many ways to coalesce.”

For example, blood sacrifice of living beings, or pouring the essence and blood of the great devil can reunite the source of the devil.

As fallen ones, we are bound to the void, and we have spied on countless secrets.

I know how to bypass authority and activate this altar.

It's just that the amount of sacrificial supplies it requires is huge.

Zong Shen's face was suddenly enlightened, and he understood the meaning of Feronas' words.

Demon hunters are also demons, just not blood-burning demons.

The difference between the two is like the mountain barbarians and the islanders who live by the sea and are proficient in water skills.

Both the same and different.

Coupled with the Demon Hunter and Void Depth Bindings, secrets can be seen from another dimension.

This is why Feronas knows many secrets.

At the same time, it also proved that he did have the ability to reactivate this altar.

In that case, it's up to you.

Use the strategy module to check what he said.

After confirming that there was no problem, Zong Shen agreed.

Feronas crossed his arms and added.

You can pick out some suitable people to come out for training in the near future.

If everything goes well, they will be able to perform the void binding ceremony in three months.

Zong Shen stood beside the altar, the [Devil's Heart] in his body beating unconsciously.

It also seems to be able to absorb the [Devil Origin] here.

Hearing Feronas' words, he suppressed his new desire and asked.

What about ethnicity?

Are there any requirements in this regard?

Demon hunters are all elves who are willing to take revenge, and there may be something special about it.

But in this regard, Feronas shook his head and said.

No, any ethnicity.

As long as you have a good level of intelligence.

Of course, if you have the idea of ​​revenge in your heart and are determined at the same time, the training effect will be better.

Hate and will combined determine how far they can go on this path.

After knowing what he was thinking, Zong Shen nodded.

He took the initiative to squat down, stretched out a hand, took off the [The Fool's Black Gloves] and gently touched the [Devil's Origin] that was as thick and sticky as asphalt.

Feronas Sinner noticed this but did not stop it.

He seemed to understand what Zong Shen was doing.

When Zong's palm touched [Devil's Origin].

A new reminder appeared in my mind.

[Is it possible to integrate the power of the devil's origin? 】

【whether】

…

Zong Shen chose [Yes] without hesitation.

Two new prompts appeared immediately.

【Integrating】

[Current progress: 1/100]

…

The viscous lavender origin turned into light energy and continuously integrated into Zong Shen's body.

They are absorbed by the rhythm of [Devil's Heart] and transformed into some kind of power foundation that increases the effect of [Devil State].

You must know that Zong Shen's situation is very special. He has a completely different body from a pure demon like Feronas.

He can only temporarily transform into a demon when the skill is activated.

Normally, all the demonic power is huddled in the [Devil's Heart].

It is checked and balanced by the [Chaos Core] and various other forces within Zong Shen's body.

What is now enhanced is the demonic power hidden in the body.

100 copies of [Devil Origin] were integrated in almost half a minute.

This should be the upper limit that Zong Shen's current [Demon State] and [Devil's Heart] can combine and carry.

At this time, Feronas stretched out a finger with a slender hook and placed it on the back of Zong Shen's hand that had taken off his black gloves.

As expected of the chosen one.

This state is really wonderful.

You can gain the power of the devil without being bound to the void.

And it can be perfectly restrained in the [Devil's Heart].

It's so enviable.

There was envy in his tone.

Zong Shen's free will really made him envious.

Because in comparison, the price he paid to obtain the power of the devil was too high.

It's not like Zong's understatement at all.

Zong Shen didn't answer and put on his black gloves.

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

After his absorption, the [Devil Origin] in the altar was only reduced by about one-thirtieth.

Among his three major transformation skills, the effects of [Demon State] and [Light and Dark State] have been significantly enhanced.

He just thought, and the detailed information of the two major status skills appeared.

…

[Skill: Demonic State]

[Original Enhanced Demonic State: Transform into a powerful demon, increase the basic damage by 5.0 times, increase the health value by 4.0 times, increase the attack speed by 3.0 times, increase the armor value and magic resistance by 3.5 times, and gain 45% at the same time. Physical damage immunity effect, which can convert 25% of the damage caused to the enemy into health points

Using a weapon to attack will cause an additional 500 points of chaos damage, and you will also get an enhanced judgment of the basic damage gain, but there will be no additional chopping gain effect. In addition, you can also throw chaos light balls for long-range attacks, with a maximum attack distance of 350 meters, and the damage attribute Chaos damage that ignores armor, lasts 30 minutes, and has a cooldown of 32 hours.

Shadowfall Stealth: Enters the Shadowfall Stealth state, can blend into the shadows, and can change its form. It cannot be penetrated by detection magic below level five and the Eye of Truth. Lasts 5 minutes.

Original power: When attacking a demon target, it can cause an additional 15% chaos damage]

…

As expected, the demon state has been strengthened and improved again.

And the intensity is very high, almost several times higher.

However, the damage multiplier gain here is very different from the judgment of conventional slashing damage.

There is a clear upper limit to the actual total damage multiplier.

But no matter what, the chaos damage alone is powerful enough.

In addition, health, attack speed, and armor can be comprehensively improved.

Not to mention it is also immune to 45% physical damage.

Combined with his existing attributes, he is enough to be used as a non-final trump card.

Moreover, the cooling time has been shortened a lot, and the duration has been increased to half an hour.

You no longer have to count the time to activate skills as before.

He can even use [Demon State] as a normal combat skill.

Zong Shen was quite satisfied.

Now is the time to accumulate strength.

He wished he could become stronger and have more trump cards.

After checking the improved [Demon State], he looked at another changed status skill.

[Skill: Light and Dark State]

[Light and Dark State: Incarnate into a powerful light and dark warrior, possessing both the status characteristics of Holy Light and Demon, increasing attack damage by 5.5 times, health by 4.5 times, attack speed by 4.0 times, magic immunity 35 %, immune to physical damage by 45%, able to convert 40% of the damage caused to the enemy into its own health, and recover an additional 45 health points per second.

The attack becomes dual attributes, long-range damage, no need to consume magic values, and has chaos attributes, holy light attributes and corresponding attribute characteristics. The attack range is 400 meters, the duration is 30 minutes, and the cooling time is 36 hours. 】

[All status skills can be used independently, and the cooldown and duration are independent. 】

…

[Imbalance of light and darkness: The power of light and darkness in your body is out of balance. The current quality of the core of chaos will soon be unable to effectively balance. Please pay attention to optimizing and adjusting the coexisting power structure in the body]

…

Along with the improvement of [Skill: Light and Dark State].

There is also a warning note.

That was the [light-dark imbalance] that he was more worried about before!

His long-term integration and enhancement of demonic power will eventually cause the scales to tilt.

This makes [Chaos Core] unable to suppress it.

Moreover, the [Chaos Core] he obtained was a special item, but it was not mature.

It is not easy to balance the two forces now.

The solution to this problem is also very simple.

[Chaos Core] is like the central axis of the scales.

It will remain stable as long as the forces on both ends are balanced.

Therefore, the most effective solution is to find a way to absorb the power of the Holy Light as a supplement.

This is used to balance the gap between the two forces.

The second is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, which is to integrate a higher-level [Chaos Core].

Raise the threshold of unbalanced force it can withstand.

In this way, even if unilateral imbalance continues, there will be no serious consequences.

Both methods can work, after all, everything remains the same.

However, Zong Shen still prefers the former.

Because absorbing the power of the Holy Light is a good thing.

In comparison, improving [Chaos Core] is just a temporary measure.

Whether it is the power of holy light or demons, it can bring comprehensive benefits to Zong Shen after being upgraded.

This is the most important thing.

It seems we can't give priority to the Devil's Execution Chamber.

It's better to let the strategy module screen the nearby ruins related to the power of the Holy Light.

The power of the Holy Light is drawn from it and added to the [Heart of the Holy Spirit].

In this way, the power of light and darkness can be restored to balance.

Zong Shen thought in his heart.

Feronas Sinner didn't bother either.

He knows the difference between the chosen one and himself.

Many things can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

Including the [Devil State], Feronas didn't dare to say that he was in charge.

Because this power comes from the supreme regulator who controls everything.

Have very high authority and priority.

Because of this, it can be enhanced from the original [Devil Transformation] skill book through fusion and devouring to what it is today!
