Chapter 142 No need to say more

Dark Creek Valley.

This is a valley on the east side of the Misty Mountains. A rapid torrent falls from the mountain pass, forming a stream-like waterfall at the northern end of the valley, rushing into a lake in the northeast of the valley.

Its name is Mirror Lake.

The eastern gate of Moria is on the hillside west of Lake Shadow, where damaged dwarf statues can be seen everywhere.

But today, this place welcomed a group of unusual guests.

Large pieces of armor gleamed golden in the sun, even more so than the light reflected by the lake.

Boom…

There was a vibration sound coming from inside the mountain.

thump.

Levi rolled over and flew out of the gate.

When the dazzling sunlight shone on him, Levi realized that - wait, why is this a big downward slope? ! "Oh - ah, uh!"

The armor clanked as it made intimate contact with the stairs, and the figure bounced up and down on the stairs. It took a long time before he stopped and fell on the soft grass.

call--

Levi took a deep breath, climbed up from the grass under the stairs, and brushed off the dust on his body.

Although the process was a bit embarrassing, it finally came out.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to stop the Fire Demon and allowed the guy to cross the bridge.

The air outside is still better.

In front of the grass, Levi couldn't help but sigh: "Ah - this grass, this sunshine, this waterfall, this lake, this... elf?"

A face froze.

I saw an army of fully armored elves holding the banner of Lothlórien standing quietly by the Lake of Shadow, with serious faces forming a battle formation, without any shaking, like stones.

"Why is there an army of elves here?"

"Dear ally, we are coming with support!"

An elf waved and shouted loudly in the distance, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

And could you please stop laughing!

Next to the elf who was shouting loudly, a noble and beautiful lady slowly nodded at Levi. She was wearing a long skirt and walking barefoot on the ground, but she was still clean and not stained with any dirt.

"Greetings, ma'am—"

Levi shouted immediately: "But now is not the time to talk. Listen to me, quickly evacuate the army, he is behind me!"

He? Listening to Levi's words, the elves were a little confused.

Who was the "he" that the allies were referring to? Soon, the answer to this question was revealed.

As the shaking of the mountain became more and more obvious, a feeling of scorching heat rose from the ground. The elves' breathing became heavier unconsciously, and they even seemed to have difficulty holding their weapons.

A feeling of heat enveloped the hearts of all the elves.

Natural enemy.

That was the being that was once called the 'Elf Nemesis' thousands of years ago: the Fire Demon.

He is not only the nemesis of the elves, but also the natural enemy of all living things. No life on this continent has a higher status than him, including Sauron and the five wizards, as well as the Lady of the Golden Forest in front of him.

Boom! Along with the heat came the sound of war drums from the depths of the earth, and the army of hell it represented.

Boom! The rock shattered, and flames erupted from it, rushing straight into the sky. Then, two charred giant claws appeared, which opened the exit and crushed the door frame.

roar!!

For the first time, the huge wings fully spread out in the sky, almost blocking the sun and turning the place into a cloudy sky.

“Ah…Ah——!”

When the sunlight on their faces turned into fire, thick smoke and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the entire valley. Finally, an elf could not bear the fear anymore, and screamed on the spot, taking several steps back.

The fire demon disrupted the elves' formation with just its appearance.

For these young elves, the Fire Demon is still too exciting.

Just like when Orc faced Levi, the elves' fear of the Balrog was almost engraved into their souls, and only the strong could defeat it.

Not to mention them, even the truly capable elves in the Holy Land of Valinor don't have many courage to fight the Balrog.

"Maintain formation and hold your ground!"

Behind Lady Galadriel, the elven captain who was in charge of leading the army was the first to recover. He turned around and shouted to the army.

However, the Fire Demon didn't even look at them. From beginning to end, there was only one person in his eyes.

"I told you, you can't escape!"

"You are ridiculous. Do you think you can escape the disaster by calling the elves as reinforcements? You will all die here today!"

The flame condensed in his hands.

Levi knew this trick all too well.

After fighting for so long, as soon as the Flame Demon raised his hand, Levi knew what he was going to do next.

I have memorized them all.

Swoosh——

He drew his sword, stood before the elven army, and swung forward to engage the Balrog head-on, knocking the flaming sword out of his hand.

At this moment, Levi could clearly feel that the sword in his hand was more handy than ever before, and the blow just now was heavier than any time in the past few days.

The 'Nemesis' seemed to have sensed something, and its light became brighter and its power became stronger.

"That is the sword forged by our relatives..."

The elves felt a palpitation in their hearts as they looked at the sword that faintly resonated with their souls.

"Who do you think you are, you weakling..."

Ding! The long sword and the fire demon's weapon collided, rubbing against each other, producing bursts of light and scattered flames. The rune ring on his hand continued to flash a dazzling orange-yellow glow, removing the fire demon's impact.

A golden ring…? Lady Galadriel suddenly lowered her raised hand, feeling slightly alert.

She chose to wait and see for now.

Led by Galadriel, the elves remained silent for the time being.

On this side, the power of the Flame Demon finally prevailed. While fighting with the knife, his other hand quickly condensed a whip that he had prepared long ago and wrapped it around Levi's feet.

This guy has also learned how to sneak attack! With a whoosh, Levi was thrown onto the hillside and flew high into the air.

The fire demon on the ground was looking forward to it, gripping the sword tightly in his hand, staring at the falling Levi and preparing to launch a powerful attack.

However, the Fire Demon is not the only one that cannot perform its magic underground.

Whoosh——

A burst of fireworks sounded, and Levi instantly put on his elytra. After using the fireworks to provide power, he quickly switched back to his chest armor, using this kinetic energy to sprint to the front of the Flame Demon at lightning speed, hitting his head like a missile, and taking this opportunity to chop him hard! Boom! Before he could react, the Flame Demon was knocked to the ground with a bang, and his entire big head sank directly into the soil.

At this moment, he just felt his head buzzing.

【-103】

The heavy sword, carrying with it the energy of acceleration, directly slashed off one tenth of the Flame Demon's vitality.

It’s just that the action of force is mutual.

At the same time as the Fire Demon was hit hard, Levi also felt a powerful kinetic energy, and his health bar was directly emptied by more than half.

He wasn't beaten; he was thrown down.

He quickly bit into a golden apple.

Not much.

There are not many golden apples or food left, and we are really running out of food.

“Damn it!!!”

In the tens of thousands of years since its birth, the Fire Demon's rage has never been as intense as it is today.

"Since you can't kill me, and I can't kill you..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Balrog pulled his head out of the soil, suddenly burst into laughter, and said, "Then I will kill all your friends and relatives, and destroy everything you care about!"

Roar! Without paying any more attention to Levi, the Fire Demon turned around and rushed towards the elf army.

At this moment, Lady Galadriel, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally made a move.

She raised her right hand high, and something sparkling like a star flowed between her fingers, emitting a silvery-white light.

Boom! The next moment, the Flame Demon suddenly stopped in front of the army, as if he had hit an obstacle and couldn't move forward.

Ring of Water - Nengya.

Levi stared at the thing between his fingers.

Nenya, one of the three rings of the elves, possesses the power of "understanding, creation and protection". It has always been because of the existence of this ring that Lothlórien has been full of vitality and has grown the Mauron tree, a unique species of Valinor, and has become the "Golden Forest" in people's mouth.

Later, after Sauron's main ring was destroyed, Nenya also lost his power, and the Golden Forest under its protection soon became desolate.

In a sense, this ring is equivalent to Levi's territory system, which maintains the rules of a territory. It is because of its existence that the Golden Forest can be as prosperous as it is today.

“What kind of power is this?”

The Balrog felt a little strange.

He had been in a deep sleep since the end of the First Era and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

These rings of power were only created in the Second Age.

Seeing that the Fire Demon was stopped, Levi relaxed and took a breath.

Lady Galadriel is very powerful, and with the Ring of Water in her hand, it is not difficult for her to restrain a Balrog...

You know, there is a lake next to it.

As the Ring of Water began to show its power, a holy white light began to emanate from Galadriel's body. The light became brighter and brighter, and was mixed with a hint of silver similar to the stars.

"Return to your sleeping place, Balrog."

Lady Galadriel spoke slowly:

"Wherever the stars shine, there is no place for you!"

Boom! The silver-white light became more and more obvious, forming a barrier that isolated the Flame Demon.

"go back!"

With an angry roar, the fire demon was forced to retreat several steps.

But that’s all.

The powerful force contained in the ring may be able to restrain the fire demon, but it cannot really threaten him.

Even if the distance is close enough, the extreme high temperature of the Fire Demon can pose a threat to the ring in turn.

Very dangerous.

Levi raised his sword and stood in front of the Fire Demon again.

"I still want to say that -"

"You can't get through here!"

Break armor!

Boom! The charged attack was launched, and the Balrog could not stop retreating again. Levi did not give up this opportunity. He locked onto the Balrog and slashed at him with his sword, forcing him step by step to the gate of Moria.

The flames vanished from the sun, and shrank back into the shadowy gates of Moria.

"I will be back."

The Flame Demon grabbed the door frame and shouted unwillingly:

"I'll come back and destroy everything!"

In front of the door, he stared at Levi, leaned down, and said slowly with his big face facing Levi: "By then, you will not only face me."

"We will find you..."

The force of repression grows stronger.

The darkness returned to his shadowy place.

But the drumbeats did not stop.

The glow on Lady Galadriel's body gradually disappeared, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Levi hurried over to check the situation.

Fortunately, my blood volume is healthy.

But it seems to consume a lot of energy, so I need to take it slow.

"An army of hell is approaching, ready to fight!"

The elf captain raised the sword in his hand, signaling the army behind him to prepare for battle and stop the brutal orc army that was following the Balrog.

He looked at Levi beside him.

"Allies, would you like to join us?"

Levi waved at him.

The captain nodded.

"Understood. Please go to the rear and rest first. We will take care of those orcs."

"Need not."

Levi stepped forward, sat down on the steps at the gate of Moria and said in a relaxed manner:

"Waving your hand doesn't mean you're refusing, it means you don't need to say anything."

"Don't move, I'm right here."
