The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 237 Breaking the Three Armies

Visual warfare, which rarely appears in the novel, is a crucial element in spellcasters' combat in this fantasy world that resembles a tabletop strategy game.

Darkness, light, illusion, invisibility, fog...

Anti-stealth, blind vision, dark vision, true vision...

A large amount of the game revolves around visuals.

Whether it's targeting single-target spells or physical attacks from melee and ranged weapons, both are difficult to use when vision is lost.

How to deprive the enemy of their sight while granting sight to one's own is one of the key elements that influences the balance of victory!

In fact, when the spellcasters of Eldoron created the cloud that covered the entire sky, they also added an extra supermagic spell to it.

—【Spell Invisibility】!
Therefore, the clouds and fog created are completely invisible.

Normally, the only function of the [Cloud and Mist Technique] is to obscure vision; it is useless when one is invisible.

However, top-tier demon species, including demon lords, possess a constant [realistic vision].

Realistic vision, see through invisibility and illusion!
This was originally a completely positive passive trait, but when faced with an invisible cloud of mist, it becomes an absolute side effect.

Only those who have seen through invisibility will have their vision obscured by these clouds and mists!
To avoid having his vision obscured by the clouds and fog, Elion deliberately refrained from casting the [True Vision] spell on himself before heading to the battlefield today.

That's why we had the same effect as when a sighted person hits a blind person.

Knowing that Koschitchell was tough and resilient, Elian never intended to use damaging magic to defeat him from the start.

In his berserk state, Koschitch is incredibly powerful; in terms of close-quarters combat alone, he even surpasses the previous battle avatar of the Sun Prince.

Even ten bombardments of legendary spells might only result in minor injuries to him!

So Elion simply gave up trying to harm the opponent and instead continued to use dispelling magic effects such as [Higher Dispel Magic] and [Luxury Dispel Magic] to weaken the projection magic itself time and time again.

—In this realistic fantasy world, the dispelling of magic is not necessarily a probability event that can be completed in one go. It often requires the superposition of multiple [dispel magic] effects to continuously weaken it until it disappears.

Finally, completely dispel the projection!
I can't even damage your health bar, and I can't dispel your magic?
If Koschitch hadn't gone into a berserk state and had retained his original mind and spellcasting abilities, he might have had better ways to deal with Elion's tactics. For example, he could have used a [Higher Dispel Magic] to dispel the fog and escape his blindness; or he could have used a wide-area attack spell.

However, the Lord of Wrath, whose mind was filled with anger, ultimately chose the wrong tactics.

"So, Koschach was defeated."

"It's time to end this battle!"

Elian looked down at the battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place.

Under the glow of the Victory Aura, the five-party allied forces are holding an absolute advantage and completely suppressing Koschitch's army.

With a significant advantage, the coalition's objective has become to minimize casualties while ensuring victory.

Elion observed carefully and confirmed that during the battle just now, a large group of mid-to-high-ranking demons had gathered together, forming a huge, dark mass, barely holding off the allied forces' attack.

"Let's use this move to end tonight's battle!"

El-Erian raised his right palm upward, and a miniature sun condensed in his hand.

——【Holy Blazing Sun】!
The extraordinary divine power once used by the Sun Prince's battle avatar!

Elian flipped his hand, slamming the dazzling sun downwards.

A condensed miniature sun descended from the sky and crashed into the mid-to-high-level demons that had coalesced into a large, pitch-black mass.

Rumble.

The sun rises slowly over the earth.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire wilderness.

Berserker Demon, Giant Bull Demon, Babu Demon... many powerful demons vanished into thin air amidst the dazzling light.

At this moment, the night sky behind El-Erian was also bathed in the light of dawn.

The real sun is rising in the east.

Victory at dawn.

"No!"

From within Koschitch's Abyss Legion, waves of desperate cries and roars echoed. With the annihilation of a large number of mid-to-high-level combatants and the defeat of the projection of the demon lord Koschitch, the entire legion utterly lost its will to fight.

"The invincible Frost Giant King has actually been defeated?"

"In the end what happened?"

"That human mage in the sky is terrifying! He actually defeated the Lord of Wrath and wiped out so many of our demons in one blow?"

"Such power is practically godlike!"

Thus, Koschitchell's Abyss Legion collapsed.

Many powerful demons abandoned their immediate enemies, dragging their battered bodies as they flew or teleported away.

A large number of low- and mid-level demons suffered a crushing defeat, fleeing in panic and utterly routed.

"Were we defeated?"

"How could we still be defeated when the leader of conquest and war, the great Frost Giant King, himself came?!"

High Chieftain of the Frost Giants, Yarma Frostbeard, stared at the routed demon army, gritted his teeth, and almost spat out the reluctant, cold giant language word:

"retreat!"

Upon receiving the Great Chieftain's order, the Frost Giants lost their will to fight and fled the battlefield with the Great Chieftain.

The vast army of frost giants retreated northward, leaving behind a large number of their own kind's corpses.

The allied forces have won!
In the distance, the two expeditionary forces of Yenogu, the king of the gnolls, and Buffyment, the king of the minotaurs, were still engaged in fierce battle.

Both abyssal legions suffered heavy losses, with many powerful demons exhausted.

"What?! The army of the Frost Giant King Kosch'ch has been defeated!"

"This suddenly appearing allied army includes dragons, undead, elves, dwarves, gnomes, iron men, and stone men. What is their origin?"

"And it's actually this powerful?"

General Balor, with the head of a jackal, looked at the five allied forces that seemed to have descended from the sky in the distance with great horror.

Immediately afterwards, the Balo Flame Demon General, who belonged to the Yenogu Legion, suddenly widened his eyes.

He saw that after the allied forces defeated the army of the Frost Giant King Kosch'ch, they were surging towards them menacingly, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Damn it, this is a coalition of many races from this continent, and they consider all demons to be enemies."

"Their goal is to wipe out all the demons in this wilderness!"

Without a second thought, the Balor Flame Demon General, exhausted from the previous battle, shouted to his subordinates below:
"retreat!"

This allied army was even able to defeat the strongest Kosch's Legion and Kosch's Frost Giant King himself...

What are those worthless scoundrels waiting for if they don't run away?

Several legendary demon generals from the legions of the Gnoll King and the Tauren King simultaneously issued similar orders, leading their respective demon legions in a hasty retreat.

Of course, a demon that is inherently chaotic cannot organize a well-organized retreat.

The so-called retreat was actually just a rout and a chaotic scattering of troops.

There were also some demons who were engaged in fierce fighting, their eyes bloodshot, completely absorbed in the battle, unaware of the changes in the battle situation, and completely oblivious to the fact that all their comrades and enemies had fled. They were still wrestling and killing the enemies in front of them.

"Not bad, all three demon legions have been routed."

"In particular, the Abyss Legion of Koschatchev suffered the most severe losses, with most of its combat power wiped out."

High above, Elion looked at the three defeated demon legions and smiled faintly.

"Now, let's move on to the final harvest of this battle."

Elion turned his head and beckoned to the Eldorian spellcasters behind him:

"Let's move quickly and join the golem army to capture as many powerful demons as possible from the rout of the demon army!"

Streaks of light shot downwards.
