The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 211 Methods to Subdue Demons

"More mid- to high-ranking demons are rushing over. Be careful of their dark magic."

"Golem troops, move out!"

"Dragon Cavalry, advance!"

"Mages and warlocks, prepare a response and assist the undead legion and golem forces in battle!"

All sorts of mid- to high-ranking demons rushed over.

Several winged flying demons attempted to bypass the obstacles below and climb directly onto the city wall, but were held back by the dragon riders and a rain of arrows.

Flesh golems, clay golems, rock golems, steel golems...

More than 30 golems were deployed in succession, their indestructible bodies holding off these mid- to high-level demons.

These demons quickly discovered, in despair, that their bizarre supernatural and spell-like abilities—such as parasitic spores, toxins, corruption, fear, domination, and soul-stealing—were utterly ineffective against these mystical puppets. Furthermore, the demons' significantly weaker strength compared to giants and dragons made it difficult for them to truly breach the defenses of these sturdy golems.

At the same time, human mages unleashed targeted spells, influencing the battle below.

Various battlefield-splitting spells, such as [Force Field Prison], [Force Field Wall], [Stone Wall], and [Heavy Fog], were cast in succession to divide the enemy's forces.

The demons discovered that their prized magic and elemental resistances were utterly ineffective against spells that merely created physical barriers and didn't directly affect them. They were left helpless as these spells fragmented the battlefield, dispersing their forces and allowing the enemy to pick them off one by one.

Compared to direct damage output, crowd control and supporting teammates are what mages excel at!
One spell after another, targeting the demons, was cast.

The [Exile] spell can banish demons back to the abyss...

The fifth-circle spell [Dawn] deals radiant damage and counters Shadowfiends...

The dimensional lock, which seals off space and prevents demons from summoning more demons...

There were also mages and warlocks skilled in evocation magic who launched a barrage against the demons. Their magic easily penetrated the demons' resistances; a single fireball could reduce large numbers of demons to ashes.

These offensive mages responsible for bombarding the demons had spent years learning supermagic and spellcasting feats to combat demons, such as [Elementalist] which can break through elemental resistance and [Spell Penetration] which can pierce through magic resistance!
The spellcasters of Eldoron have undergone years of targeted training with demons as their hypothetical enemy!
"That's all."

"Is this all the biggest wave of demons Blackrock Fortress has faced in the past six months?"

"It seems less difficult than when we were training back then."

On the city walls, mages casting spells under the cover of the undead legion sighed.

……

"How could this be?"

In the air, Ratu, the Balrog Lord, stared in utter astonishment at the demon army that he had been unable to break through despite his prolonged siege.

"Wasn't it said that this human fortress had weak defenses? Why can't we take it down at all?"

"And many of these defensive forces aren't even human!" (Golems and undead)
Where is the "paradise" that was supposed to be a place where weak creatures could be slaughtered at will?

He queued for a very long time to get a chance to come to this paradise!

At this moment, General Thor also flew into the air, casting various spells and single-handedly suppressing the near-legendary six-armed serpent demon general and many high-ranking demons, wreaking havoc among the demon legion.

This near-legendary mage has a truly luxurious set of equipment.

Clad in the Sage's Robe and wielding the Sage's Staff, both legendary magical items, he also possesses over a dozen high-level rings, gloves, belts, magic boots, and Aion Stones...

With the support of powerful equipment, his combat strength is approaching that of a newly promoted beginner legend!

"Wow, I've never fought such a rich war before."

"Exactly, it's a bit strange to use this equipment, which was seized from the legendary Sun Elf, in front of Her Highness Leah..."

General Saul thought to himself.

Yes, the magical items seized from the 15 legendary Sun Elf spellcasters were used by Elion to arm his loyal subordinates, enabling them to exert greater combat power in the war against demons!
"General Thor, watch out from the air!"

General Saul looked up and saw a fiery meteor hurtling toward him from the sky.

Balor Ratu!

Seeing his demon army suffer heavy losses, the Balrog lord finally couldn't hold back any longer!
"Has the Balrog finally made its move?" "The Balrog's body is continuously radiating [flaming aura], making a multi-person attack ineffective. Let me handle this..."

Princess Lia frowned, about to take flight and hold back the legendary demon.

—In the battle just now, although this Sun Elf princess did not fight at full strength, she still used some low-cost tricks and spells within the fifth ring to help eliminate a lot of demons.

Just as Princess Leah was about to fight with all her might, she heard General Thor's calm and composed voice:

"Don't be nervous."

"We have units here that are better at fighting the Fire Demon."

On the ground, five enormous figures soared into the sky, meeting the approaching Balor Flame Demon.

These five figures possessed a metallic sheen, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

— Five steel golems!
"What is this?"

Why can these Iron Men fly?

Seeing the five steel giants wielding enchanted greatswords charging towards him, Balor Ratu was suddenly startled.

Upon closer inspection, the fire demon noticed that each of the five steel giants was wearing a pair of winged boots.

These magical boots have a pair of small wings that grant the wearer the ability to fly.

It's not just humans who can equip magical items!

In this mystical fantasy world, "humanoid Gundams" are truly powerful.

The closer you get to humanoid form, the more magical items and weapons you can use that are designed for humanoid creatures!
Many magical artifacts can adjust their size according to the wearer's body shape within a certain range. Therefore, magical boots made for humans may also be wearable by ogres and golems.

"I don't care what this steel giant is."

"You think you can defeat me with just a few people ganging up on me?"

Balrog raised his Thunder Longsword, crackling with electricity, to meet the combined attack of the five steel golems' giant swords.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

With a crisp metallic clang, all five iron golems were repelled by the Balrog's immense strength.

"With this little fighting strength, you think you can stop me?"

The Flame Demon Lord was greatly surprised.

He originally thought that the enemy who dared to hold him back would be a ninth-tier or even a near-legendary level.

Judging from the collision just now, the melee combat level of these steel giants is roughly equivalent to that of a seventh or eighth-tier warrior.

Even considering that these steel giants possess astonishing physical and magical defensive capabilities, far surpassing the defensive capabilities of seventh and eighth-tier warriors, and that their overall strength is vastly different from their own!

"Quickly take care of these puppets, then kill that human mage!"

Ratu, the Balrog Lord, spread his arms and roared.

A scorching storm enveloped the entire sky, swallowing up all the steel golems.

—【Firestorm】!
Although it was only a seventh-circle spell, it still unleashed terrifying power in the hands of this legendary demon.

However, the next second, Latour's eyes suddenly widened!

Five steel golems burst out of the flames, unharmed, and charged toward him.

No, they weren't completely unharmed.

Instead, the injuries sustained in previous battles against other demons were also healed by the flames.

—【Flame Absorption】!
The Steel Golem has the ability to absorb fire energy to heal itself.
