Chapter 164: The Lord of the Demonic Net
Chapter 164
The night is dark, and the starry sky is like an endless curtain, emitting a cold and deep light.
Under the brilliant starry sky, two figures stood silently in the central courtyard of the temple.
Lin En was fully armed, wearing Grey Eagle Armor. The metallic luster on the armor was cold, and his whole body was tightly wrapped and fully protected.
Next to Lin En, there was a tall figure, it was naturally Qi.
Qi was wearing a maple leaf-colored robe with fluttering sleeves, exuding a strange aura of elegance and majesty.
There was a hazy light all around, and the majestic architecture of the temple looked even more mysterious under the starlight.
The golden colonnades and towering spires were bathed in a dreamy starlight.
Around them stood a group of clergy members, with cold faces and murderous eyes.
The leader of this group of clergy is a majestic seven-ring wizard, who emanates a powerful magical power.
Of course, in this temple, his identity should be a bishop of this temple.
Standing next to him were equally powerful mages, including quite a few five-ring and six-ring mages. Their eyes were sharp, and they were ready to strike at any time.
At this moment, the entire Temple of Mystra was shrouded in a wave of divine power, and the flow of magic was like an invisible tide, covering this sacred land.
The power of the magic net surged from all directions, as if countless invisible silk threads were woven into a huge net, deeply covering every corner.
But, right now.
Qi suddenly spoke in a calm tone, ignoring the clergy in front of him as if they were nothing, and actually explained to Lin En some secrets of the gods' civilization: [In the kingdom of the gods, there are also strong and weak gods among the high gods. The most powerful gods on the main throne of the Pantheon are called the main gods. ]
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly. Although his understanding of the gods' civilization was not shallow, it was obviously not as good as Qi in front of him.
Qi continued without pausing:
[Mystra is in charge of the vital magic net. As the goddess of the magic net, she is also a main god from the kingdom of Tianyu.]
The authority of the gods is not only a symbol of power, but also a manifestation of status.
The gods who control the simplest and most common elements often have a higher status.
Justice, death, magic, war, earth, these almost immortal concepts carry the fundamental laws of the world, and the main gods are the controllers of these concepts.
Among these many gods, Mystra, as the goddess of the magic network, has a particularly special status.
The magic network she controls exists alongside the great concepts in the world of gods.
However, the magic network is not a simple magic structure.
It is an invisible bridge that runs through the entire world, connecting every material thing with the energy of raw magic.
In the Kingdom of Sky, the magic network is not just an empty term.
It is a world full of magic.
Every stone, every stream, every piece of air, and even every inch of space in the universe is permeated with the power of magic.
These original magics are the raw materials of all creation and the consciousness of silent existence.
They silently permeate every substance and exist in the world of gods in various forms of energy.
However, mortals cannot directly touch these raw magics because they are buried deep behind countless substances.
Fortunately, spellcasters have discovered a way to bridge the gap between the caster's consciousness and raw magic through an intricately woven structure called the "Magic Weave."
This magic network is the skeleton of the magical world and the foundation for the flow of power.
The magic network is huge and mysterious, running through the entire magic system.
Almost all magic and all spellcasting are inseparable from the role of the magic network.
Whatever the spellcaster calls it, this structure is essential.
The existence of the magic network is the source of power that keeps the world running, and it makes all magic possible.
Without the magic web, the original magic power would be completely locked, unable to be touched or used by the caster.
Even the most powerful wizard cannot light a candle in a place where the magic network is closed or blocked.
The power of magic will disappear without a trace at that moment.
Under the protection of the magic network, the caster can trigger countless miracles.
They can summon lightning to strike their enemies hard; teleport themselves thousands of miles away in an instant; and even reverse the law of death and bring back lost lives.
All magical effects are woven through the warp and weft of the magic web, and the power of the caster is just one of the triggering points.
The arcane magic of wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, and even bards relies on an understanding of how the Weave works.
These spellcasters, through study or intuition, have mastered the structure and flow of the magic network. They can directly manipulate the warp and weft of the magic network to create the desired effect.
As for Arcane Knights and Tricksters, they also use arcane magic.
Although their powers are different from those of wizards, they still achieve their spell effects through the connection of the magic network.
In contrast, the spells cast by priests, druids, paladins, and rangers are called divine magic.
These spellcasters do not simply manipulate the magic network, but rely on a much greater divine power.
Whether it is the will of the gods, the power of nature, or the sacred meaning of the paladin's oath.
Every magical effect created is the final form of the magic network's warp and weft after being entangled, twisted, and folded.
However, where the Weave is damaged or interrupted, all magical effects become extremely unstable or may even disappear completely.
Without the power of the magic network, any attempt to cast spells will be in vain.
Magic is like a kite with a broken string, drifting in the endless void.
The magic network is the source of magic, the bond between gods and mortals, and the ultimate support for all spellcasters.
[Therefore, the easiest way to deal with these followers of the Demonic Net Goddess is to cut off their connection with the net.]
After Qi said this, he snapped his fingers lightly.
In an instant, a faint golden light emanated from Qi's body, like warm sunshine spreading across the earth.
The light did not stop but spread rapidly, covering the entire temple.
Silently, the light passed through every inch of the air, illuminating every stone pillar, and even the edge of the temple was not spared.
When Lin En and Qi were talking, the bishop at the level of a seventh-ring wizard was far away.
His eyes were solemn. Although the two intruding wizards made him alert, he did not act rashly.
He couldn't understand the conversation between Lin En and Qi, although he knew that the two seemed to be discussing something important.
But he was in no hurry to attack because he was waiting.
This is the temple of Mystra, and the power of the goddess has long permeated every brick and tile.
The energy of the temple formation is drawn from the huge existence of the goddess' true body in the kingdom's sky.
Every pillar, every stone slab, even every speck of dust in the air is protected by divine power.
This temple, as a branch of the goddess, can draw powerful strength from the will of the goddess of the magic net to maintain the stability of the formation and make the formation more powerful.
At the same time, this place can also be connected to other temples. As long as there is enough time, clergy from other temples will come to help.
Therefore, the bishop was waiting for the energy of the formation to accumulate, making the temple formation more powerful.
The two people in front of him somehow bypassed the various formations in the outside world and suddenly appeared in the center of the temple.
Obviously, the person coming is extremely powerful. Instead of attacking rashly, it is better to wait for the formation to accumulate energy.
At the same time, you can also wait for assistance from clergy from other temples.
After all, this is the sphere of influence of the Goddess camp, and the other side is alone and deep in the enemy's territory. The longer they drag it out, the greater their chances of winning.
However, things did not go as he expected.
Just as he was waiting, the figure in the maple leaf robe suddenly fell silent.
Then, he suddenly snapped his fingers.
A brilliant golden light swept across the entire temple, like the sun in the morning light, instantly illuminating the entire temple, even the area outside the temple was not missed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Golden light gushed out from Qi's body, like a layer of brilliant barrier, spreading out and enveloping the entire temple.
The power of the magic net that originally surrounded the temple began to collapse and dissipate in an instant.
The familiar magical aura disappeared, replaced by a golden light that implied "fairness" and "equality".
"Your Excellency the Bishop! Our connection with the outside world has been cut off!"
"I can't feel the power of the goddess anymore!"
"The power of the magic network was replaced by a strange force of equality, and a scale seemed to appear before my eyes!"
The clergy in the temple fell into confusion in an instant, and their faces turned pale.
Although this is just a branch temple of the Goddess of the Demonic Net, it still carries the goddess's protection and divine power.
Any believer, as long as he is in it, can feel the deep sacred power.
But now, this power suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the magic network elements in the temple seemed to have been drained away.
Although the bishop, who was at the level of a seventh-ring wizard, was experienced, he could not help but look panicked at this moment.
Even the bishop who was at the level of a seventh-ring wizard became panicked instantly, not to mention the other mages.
"Now, even a first-level wizard like you can easily deal with everyone here. However, after all, we are alone in this deep territory, so I won't give you a chance to practice."
Qi's voice was still calm, but it revealed an undisguised cold murderous aura.
As soon as he finished speaking, he spread out his palms as gracefully as jade and gently shook hands with the clergy.
As he moved, a gentle autumn breeze suddenly blew in the air. The thin wind strands were like gently plucked strings, instantly brushing over the figures of every clergyman.
Then, the bodies of those clergymen instantly turned into colorful maple leaves.
The maple leaves dance in the wind, fluttering down and being blown away by the autumn wind.
With a gentle breeze, these colorful maple leaves turned into flying dust and disappeared without a trace.
It's just a blink of an eye.
All the clergy in the temple disappeared almost instantly.
Their vitality was as fragile as a dead leaf, and they didn't even have a chance to resist.
In the entire temple, the space that was originally filled with murderous and sacred atmosphere is now filled with dead silence and broken light and shadows.
The scene was like a passing storm. The entire temple was crushed like mud by the astonishing force and was powerless to resist.
Lin En was slightly shocked. Although he already knew how powerful Qi was, at this moment, he was still shocked by this sudden change.
Qi's strength far exceeded his expectations and his level.
In fact, when they first stepped into the temple, Qi could easily destroy these clergymen.
However, he did not do so, but chose to teach Lin En a lesson first, demonstrating how to deal with these magic believers who relied on the magic network.
Of course, Qi wasted so much time and effort teaching Lin En more than just how to defeat the enemy in front of him.
What he taught also included how to deal with those creatures from the civilization of gods.
The core idea he taught was: if the source of power of the magic network is cut off, these mages will become fragile in an instant, just like trees that have lost their roots.
For these clergymen, the magic network is the source of their power.
Where the magic web flows, casting magic is as natural as breathing.
But once the power of the magic network was drawn away, these originally powerful mages lost their support and became vulnerable.
Wizards and mages are both beings that can cast spells. On the surface, they have some similarities, but in fact, they are completely different.
As a wizard, Lin En is fundamentally different from these followers of the magic network.
The power of a wizard does not rely on the external magic network, but maintains his own combat effectiveness through the witchcraft marks in the body.
Even if they are in another world, wizards can exert amazing power as long as they are replenished with energy.
Lin En took a deep breath, and his mood began to change quietly.
He has gradually become accustomed to Qi's way of communicating. Qi's language is always implicit and profound, and he often leaves three points between his words. The rest can only be figured out and understood by himself.
Qi did not reveal the answer directly, but through this demonstration, he provided Lin En with more room for thinking.
Lin En has already understood that the method of "cutting off the magic network" mentioned by Qi is not something that everyone can easily master.
Qi used that powerful treasure - the golden scale.
Through it, Qi can directly destroy the magic network and destroy the connection between the magic network and these clergy.
On the surface, Lynn doesn't seem to have a similar artifact.
But the Blue Sky Spirit he possessed, although not as obviously powerful as the Golden Scales, also contained amazing power.
This mysterious treasure may be the divine power of some kind of deity, and it has the potential to break the magic net and defeat the enemy's power.
However, Lynn has not yet fully mastered how to use it.
When Lin En thought of this, blue light appeared in front of his chest one after another.
Not long after, a green diamond-shaped object appeared on his chest.
Seeing this scene, Qi didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, as if he appreciated Lin En's divergent thinking.
[The Spirit of the Blue Sky does have the power to cut off the magic network. According to the level of your wizard civilization, this treasure belongs to the level of the Bright Moon. Even if I am in my prime, it is difficult for me to fully control it.]
With a hint of emotion, Qi's jade-like finger suddenly pointed towards the central patio under their feet.
[Next, we need to take away the power of faith here! ]
[Replenishing the energy of the Blue Sky Spirit, or enhancing your spiritual power, depends on the power of these beliefs! ]
