Chapter 570: 568: Loki Potion, Legendary Fighting Skills (Subscribe)
In August of the 316th year of the New Divine Calendar, two pieces of news shocked the entire Helka world.
One of them was the Eastern Front, where the Slavs finally proved themselves to be a powerful continental nation with a victory.
They first broke through the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then used the tactics of "multi-point breakthrough and comprehensive advancement" to defeat the combined forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Habsburg Empire.
In this battle, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom was stripped of its image as a powerful country, and the magic legion that it had worked hard to build was filled with people with connections and old aristocrats who came to gild themselves.
When the real fighting started, the only way to describe it was "disarmament". The Slavs even thought they were there to deliver magical equipment.
On the contrary, in the later period, the traditional knights and militias joined together and played a certain blocking role, causing considerable losses to the Slavs in terms of lives and numbers.
The Habsburg Empire was a typical example of being unprepared.
In other words, the superior military forces were concentrated on the Western Front, and no one expected that the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be defeated so quickly.
By the time they withdrew their legions and stationed in the Brusilov area, it was already too late.
This battle was also quite brutal.
Not to mention other things, just counting the number of casualties, in just a few months, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom lost 1.1 million people in the war, and the empire also lost nearly 300,000 emergency troops.
The Slavs pushed forward nearly 100 kilometers of territory and the empire was truly driven back to its homeland.
The only good news is that the Slavs also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
The carefully trained magic army suffered losses of up to 500,000 people, and nearly 40 divisions were wiped out.
After this battle, the Slavic Empire lost its ability to advance eastward, its war potential was completely exhausted, and the two sides once again entered a standoff.
The second piece of news originated on the Eastern Front, spread to the Western Front, and was eventually confirmed.
The shock and horror brought about by this are even comparable to the huge waves rising in the endless ocean.
And all this has to start with the Slavic Empire's magic army.
There is no doubt that there are two requirements for forming a magic legion: one is magic weapons, and the other is soldiers with magic powers.
With the Glorious Empire's large-scale arms supply, this first requirement is easily solved.
But secondly, the large number of young and middle-aged magic apprentices with magical powers are the biggest trouble restricting the expansion of the army.
However, this time, the Slavic Empire Army had almost all its members possessing magic power and could charge forward with magical firearms.
You know, the Slavic Empire is famous for its vast territory and sparse population, and education is already difficult, let alone promoting basic meditation on a large scale.
Coupled with the previous series of failures in wars and the loss of soldiers and generals, the existing magic apprentices were almost drained.
But this time, the army they organized consisted of at least thirty magic divisions.
Assuming a division has nearly 10,000 people, that means a full 300,000 people possess magic power.
Although they are seriously lacking in training and their shooting accuracy and skills are far from perfect, on a battlefield with hot weapons, being able to fire first is a huge advantage!
The question is, where do so many magic apprentices come from?
The intelligence department of the Habsburg Empire felt that the situation was unusual, so they launched a secret investigation.
Although there were a large number of people, the news was hidden very deeply. They only discovered it after suffering heavy losses. The root cause seemed to be a mysterious potion.
Loki Potion is the name of this potion. It is a special supply and each one is numbered. The person who used it, the reaction, effect and physical changes after use are all tracked and recorded.
Basically, one shot can awaken the magic power. Although it is not very useful, it is enough to pull the trigger and pull the breech.
Before this, the most mature, cheapest, and above-average meditation potions in the entire Old Continent were the two types obtained by Flowers - Soul-Fixing Spice and Soul-Calming Spice.
It can only serve as an auxiliary meditation function!
Therefore, if you can have magical powers directly after taking an injection, it is not a magic potion, but a miracle drug.
Even if there are, they are extremely rare.
But what about now?
As soon as they appeared, there were more than 300,000 magic apprentices!
The huge doubts forced the empire to make a decision. They activated the highest-level spies and sent a legendary person to pick them up. In the end, they snatched a batch of more than ten Loki potions.
Then, through testing this mysterious potion, the imperial researchers made a horrifying discovery that it contained the breath of the abyss and fragments of demonic flesh and blood.
At this point, the truth is revealed!
For the coalition forces, the traditional method of training magic apprentices was too slow and required sufficient resources. It took the Habsburg Empire decades to complete the educational reform.
But the Slavic Empire did not have the time or energy, so they came up with a quick solution.
For example, reaching an agreement with some Abyss Lords to combine mortals and low- and medium-level demons in the form of a contract.
Then, mortals can use the power of these abyss demons to accumulate some magic power.
Of course, it would not work if we just declared it openly, so we had to find a way to package it, and then, Loki Potion was created.
Loki, the legendary god of fraud, was given this name because the creator of the potion was probably hinting at something.
As the news was dug up, more information was revealed, and the empire discovered that this was not exclusive to the Slavic Empire.
It is a project jointly launched by the three giants of the coalition.
Long ago, when the coalition forces were troubled by the shortage of manpower, the three giants were looking for a solution.
So, at one command, all kinds of magicians, even legends, were gathered together and actively sought solutions.
The final research result is that 'concluding a contract' is the fastest!
The best targets are actually celestial beings, whose magic power tends to be bright and has no side effects.
The next level ones would have to be extraordinary creatures like dragons, fairies, and elemental elves. For example, Oliveira contracted a wind elf.
However, these two are either rare or disdain to make a contract with mortals, so it simply won't work.
Therefore, they can only turn their attention to the lower planes.
Demons from the abyss, devils from hell, fiends from purgatory, and even souls from the underworld are all within your options.
However, making a contract with these creatures from the lower planes is like trying to get the skin of a tiger, just like the soldiers of the Slavic Empire, who showed varying degrees of abyssification.
Not to mention the changes in his personality, such as being irritable, aggressive, enjoying killing, and being bloodthirsty and crazy.
The Slavs were known for their barbarism, so they really didn't care much.
The problem is that short lifespan, body alienation, soul distortion and other issues cannot be ignored.
Even as their numbers increase, they will cause enormous damage to the entire main material plane, accelerating the plane's decline and fall.
After receiving the news, the Imperial Cabinet was shocked and speechless, and then they chose to announce it to the public without hesitation.
Thus, after Loyi was canonized, the most talked-about "Loki Potion" incident in the entire Old Continent broke out completely.
This is different from letting the demons go directly to the battlefield. It really endangers the survival of the human race and the social structure.
During this period, there was a lot of uproar, and the uproar it caused continued.
Countless nobles and celebrities jumped out and expressed various opinions. Even the three giants of the coalition were in chaos.
Of course, there must be an element of taking advantage of the situation here, most likely because of the nobles whose interests were damaged when the magic industry was promoted.
Before, they had to obey the trend of the times.
Now that I see the opportunity, I naturally want to jump out and cause trouble.
As a result, the three giants of the coalition were under tremendous pressure, so much so that the three emperors had to push out a number of nobles as scapegoats.
Even when the three emperors showed up, they all looked very sad.
However, although they said this, they still did what they had to do and did not stop.
For those soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield, there is still a chance of survival if they use it and hold on to magic weapons.
No need. If you hold cold weapons, even if you wear the latest knight's plate armor, your chances of death are 99%!
The coalition forces didn't even force them, but just put a survival rate comparison chart there, and most soldiers would make wise choices.
After all, if you die, everything is gone. Only when you are alive can you talk about the hidden dangers of the potion!
When the news reached Luo Yi, he was silent for a long time. There was no doubt that the three giants of the coalition were really forced into a corner.
Doing so will truly cause endless harm. For many years to come, the Old Continent will have to pay for their decision!
Even in this world war, no matter what the outcome is, those at the top will be infamous for eternity.
However, in the short term, it did solve the coalition's biggest shortcoming - the shortage of magic soldiers.
Just look at the horizontal strength comparison. The coalition forces have strong forces and strong bases, and the problem of backward weapons has been solved.
If we make up for the shortcomings of the magic soldiers, the result will be obvious.
From this perspective, the year 316 of the New Divine Calendar may be the turning point of this world war.
However, his thoughts were flying, and Luo Yi put all of this behind him. He was far away from it, so he just needed to pay attention to it, but it was not worth spending too much energy on it.
Since the three giants of the coalition have made their choice, he cannot stop them, not even the Church of the Sun God can intervene.
What he should focus on most now is himself! It is cultivation!
After the canonization, Roy stayed with His Majesty Saint John Stuart for a few days and asked him about the knowledge of legendary fighting skills.
Luo Yi has met many legends, but when it comes to orderly inheritance, profound background, and solid theoretical knowledge, it has to be His Majesty Saint John.
Even the ancient red dragon Virgil can talk about the past and the present without any problem, and can brag about it for three days and three nights.
But when it comes to my understanding of legendary combat skills, I'm sorry, I'm really not professional enough.
St. John was very considerate and stayed for three more days to help Roy solve his doubts.
In his narration, there are actually no hard and fast rules for legendary fighting skills.
Instead, it is a powerful attack method formed by the legendary strongman based on his own characteristics, fighting spirit attributes, mastery of rules and combat habits, and refined and refined.
Even the so-called legendary fighting skills.
As for its specific power?
It depends on personal strength and performance.
This is completely different from the legendary magic that has a fixed framework and can be learned systematically.
However, this is also the characteristic of a warrior. What suits you is the best.
Under the guidance of Saint John, Roy began to ponder the gift that Grand Duke Karen had given him, which was the legendary fighting skill of the Silver Angel - Holy Light!
Perhaps it was because of Deep Blue's analysis, or perhaps it was because Luo Yi was no longer the same person he used to be, and he understood things really quickly.
In just three days, he imitated it quite well.
The Void Angel spread its wings, slashed with the divine sword, and the sacred fighting spirit crossed the void. It felt like the Silver Angel was reborn.
That’s not all!
Luo Yi even drew inferences from other cases, combined his previous offensive and defensive methods, and continued to seek breakthroughs.
Coupled with the constant influx of inspiration, he is immersed in progress every day.
However, St. John still gave him some small advice: instead of being versed in many things, it is better to specialize in one thing.
Because of the sacred skills and that "big dream", Luo Yi was involved in a lot of rules, which were various, complicated and involved in some of them.
But if the number is too large, it is easy to disperse attention, and it is difficult to form combat power in a short period of time, which means that they are broad but not specialized.
The impression given is that the means of attack are quite good, but there are not many that are extremely lethal.
After a careful analysis, Loy found that St. John's vision was truly profound.
Then, based on his own situation, he chose the rules of the holy fire and spatial direction and conducted in-depth analysis and understanding.
You know what, this immediately speeds up the progress.
As for the Holy Fire, he sought "purity", which meant continuously developing the flame to the highest level of "blazing fire".
Apart from anything else, even if you only get a wisp of it by chance, it can be used as an absolute killer move.
As for space, he tries to explore as much as possible, expand as much as possible, think as much as possible, and create as much as possible. The more the better.
Space distorts, space stretches, space splits, space shatters, multiple spaces fold...
The combination of each rule and attack method can extend to a wide range of possibilities.
Taking 'space extension' as an example, Luo Yi can now make a sword strike, and the sword light forms a circle, and the space inside the circle extends for several miles.
At this distance, most enemies couldn't even touch the edge of his clothes, making him naturally invincible.
There is also space distortion. Luo Yi combined it with the 'Spear of Holy Light' to enhance the utilization of space.
It is really a one-shot attack, and the next second it can appear on your face, back, temple, groin, or any other vital parts.
Although it looks a bit sinister and does not fit his "great, glorious and correct" image, it is really hard to guard against.
It can be said that when Luo Yi fought against the demigod, he relied purely on the blood courage of his holy skills.
Now, in such a short period of time, his offensive and defensive skills have matured to a level that even legends can't match.
In addition, he had broken through the limits of the human body, and his physical strength, fighting spirit, and even his sacred skills were all in a period of explosive growth. Luo Yi felt that his strength was changing day by day.
He once again experienced the feeling of "making rapid progress" at the beginning of his cultivation.
This situation continued until the return of the demiplane exploration team, who brought a detailed statistical report to Loy.
