The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 217 Balrog's New Post
In the original history, Balor Ratul led a large group of demons with teleportation and flight abilities to attack the floating city of Eldoron.

Eldoron's three most powerful ninth-ring mages—Elian, Gut, and Helen—had no choice but to put aside their past grievances and join forces to deal with this demon.

However, the three of them were no match for this life in terms of strength or magical reserves, and were no match for the legendary demon with strong magic and elemental resistance. They were easily defeated by the fire demon Latu.

Elian was beheaded by Latour, while Gutt and Helen managed to escape and went their separate ways.

Eldorlon, the first city-state of human civilization, thus fell...

However, with Elion's transmigration in this life, history has long since deviated from its past course. Even a weakly defended fortress under his command, which was not a legendary figure, was able to capture the Balor Balrog Lord who had once destroyed Eldoron!
"In the original history, this lesser lord led his army to the material plane the moment the abyssal rift appeared, and within a few weeks, he captured the floating city of Eldoron..."

"But now, Balor Ratul only arrives at this time..."

"History did indeed change at certain hidden junctures..."

"Unfortunately, it's impossible to determine at the moment whether this is a butterfly effect caused by my own time travel, or related to the Mind Flayer fleet that traveled through time and space. We can only confirm this after we truly set foot in the abyss..."

"Let's make this fire demon lord my servant first..."

Composing himself, Elion raised the precious legendary gem, the Star-Moon Stone, which he had obtained from the Elven Court in exchange for a cold iron weapon, and began chanting the Oathbinding Spell.

"No, no!"

Amidst the screams of the Balor Flame Demon Ratu, rings of runes and lines of contract text shimmered and appeared in the air, forcibly binding this otherworldly demon.

As the contract text was fully formed, Elion suddenly uttered an obscure Abyssal name:
"Akudavis!"

The name immediately transformed into a string of abyssal script, appearing at the bottom of the contract and replacing the Balor Balrog Lord's original name, "Latu".

"how is this possible?"

Balor Ratul exclaimed in surprise:

"Human, how do you know my real name!?"

El-Erian scoffed and did not answer the question.

As the god of time and magic who was quite interested in human history, Elion in his previous life had studied the history of the destruction of Eldoron and used divine means to uncover the true name of this Balrog lord.

True Name Vow!

This is a more powerful contractual method than the normal method of binding, making the binding stronger and harder to break.

Ordinary [Otherworldly Binding] spells can be dispelled by means such as [Dispelling Magic], and if the demon dies and is reborn in the abyss, the effect of the binding spell will also end.

However, after incorporating the demon's true name, the contract's strength will increase several times, and it will be bound to the demon's essence. Even if the demon dies and is reborn in the abyss, the contract will still continue!

Therefore, a true name can be considered the greatest weakness of demons and other evil creatures. It is a secret that must never be known to outsiders.

Even before the invention of the [Otherworldly Binding] spell, there were many cunning mortal spellcasters who used their true names to some extent to drive and control demons and devils to serve their own purposes.

The shimmering contract merged into the body of the Balrog Ratu. Feeling that the Balrog had completely become his servant, Elion released the binding magic circle.

“Get up,” El-Erian said.

Balor Ratu rose in fear; this enormous fire demon, six or seven meters tall, bowed its head in submission to Elian.
"Master, please give your orders."

The moment the word "master" left his lips, Balor Ratu felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation, yet he was unable to control his vocal cords and torso.

Good heavens, am I really destined to be a slave to this mortal for all eternity?

Latour cried out in his heart.

As beings from another world, demons have no lifespan limit!
"This is the first time Eldoron has captured a legendary-level demon, which is truly a momentous occasion."

“Perfect timing. I’m about to head to support the Moon Elf capital, Moonsong City, to help relieve the pressure on their demon army. You’ll come with me.” “Coincidentally, there’s a very important position here, perfect for Balor the Balrog.”

A suitable position for Balrog? Latu listened, somewhat bewildered.

……

A few minutes later.

"This this……"

Latour was so angry he was practically on fire, but bound by the power of the contract, he couldn't utter a single curse.

"My mission is to stay with these steel giants?"

All that could be seen was a circle of steel golems surrounding Balor Ratu.

These 10 towering steel giants are continuously absorbing the [flame aura] radiating from the Balrog, and can quickly heal even if they are injured.

"Yes, from now on, these ten steel golems will be working with you."

"This is about one-tenth the size of the Iron Golems in Eldoron. Most important figures don't even have the authority to command so many. You should cherish it."

The Flame Demon Latu was on the verge of tears.

So, I'm just going to continue being a healing point, right?
Looking at the ever-burning flames on Balrog's body and the high temperature radiating outwards, Elion suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and stretched out his right fingertip to draw a rune in the air.

The dark blue rune merged into the chest of the Balrog.

The blazing flames on the Balrog's body instantly went out.

"This is?"

Latour was utterly astonished to see the ever-burning crimson flames on his body suddenly extinguished.

"The [Flame Aura] on you is constantly active, which could easily harm others or ignite things around you."

"So I set up a switch to control the flames on your body, and turn it on only when needed."

Elian's casual reply made Balor Ratu's heart tighten.

His own powerful and extraordinary abilities, which he was so proud of, could be turned on and off at will by this human mage.

This means that the human mage's strength is definitely above his own!

A mid-level legendary mage?
Moreover, the methods used are extremely diverse and bizarre.

Even among the lesser lords of the Abyss, mid-level legendary figures are a rare breed among the top, and they could become true demon lords who rule the first level of the Abyss at any time!

Upon learning this fact, Latour felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

This means he may never be able to escape his fate as the slave of this human mage...

"Don't think about it too much, we're about to head to support the Moon Elf's capital."

Elion ignored the Balrog's mournful cries:

"Perfect timing, my divine artifact is now complete."

Elian walked to the corner of the ceremonial room.

There, a golden, ethereal suit of armor, seemingly forged from pure sunlight, floated in the air.
