Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Hextech kicked the head aside and began rummaging through the headless corpse.

"What are you looking for?" Inessa asked curiously.

"If he's a cultist, why is he here?" Hex said without looking up.

"He did not remain in that underground space with the main force of the cultists."

"He did not leave Manchester beforehand to hide in the vault."

Why?

"There must be a reason for this; it might even be related to whether we can escape."

Hextech's analysis was quite logical, but at that moment, a burly man over two meters tall was squatting on the ground pretending to be a wise man, making the scene a bit awkward.

Inessa frowned slightly, then suddenly relaxed: "That's right, he must have a reason!"

As she spoke, she expressed some regret: "I shouldn't have killed him so easily."

Hex rummaged through the contents and found the folded letter in his inner pocket.

"Really?!" Hex exclaimed in surprise.

He didn't open it immediately. After failing twice, he became much more cautious and simply gave up his spot.

Before Hex could even speak, Inessa stepped forward, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and gently placed the cross on the letter.

In an instant, a wisp of black smoke slowly rose from the letter.

With her eyes closed, she murmured, "In the name of the Holy Spirit, cleanse this place of evil."

A soft glow emanated from her body, and the wisp of black smoke quickly dissipated.

Hex stood beside her, clearly feeling a warmth enveloping his entire body.

He looked down at his own control panel.

Health, mana, and attack power values ​​jumped sharply.

The player's health increased by more than 200 points instantly, and their attack power increased by more than 10 points.

Hextech raised an eyebrow.

Inessa's Holy Talisman, which is the skill system in the game, is a versatile, all-around percentage-based buff.

As a balanced character designed to cater to both power-hungry and aesthetically pleasing players in the Hell Invasion game, and a key pay-to-win character in the first chapter, Inessa is the face of Hell Invasion. Her artwork, character design, and practicality are all impeccable, making her one of the few veteran operators in the game who has never fallen out of favor.

Whether you're pushing through the main storyline or participating in various crisis contracts and holiday dungeons, a fully leveled Inessa can provide teammates with a boost of around 10% in attack power and health.

Although she is only a support character, once she activates the Holy Domain, all teammates within its range can receive powerful buffs, making her support ability top-notch.

After reciting the purification prayer, Inessa looked up at Hex, her tone tinged with self-reproach: "This is my sacred talisman, [Melody's Hymn], which can enhance fighting spirit and various physical attributes. I'm sorry, I lack the ability to fight head-on, otherwise we wouldn't have had to go through such a difficult time."

"No, you are very strong," Hextech said.

This is not flattery; the support roles in Hell Invasion are completely different from those in other games.

Besides buffs, debuffs, and control skills, their most crucial trump card is summoning the Guardian Blessing Artifact.

Back at the first altar, if Inessa hadn't unleashed the Lionheart Sword, he wouldn't have been able to fight against Kalodos at all, and the whole group would have been wiped out long ago.

Moreover, Hextech hadn't expected that Inessa's Holy Amplification would have such a significant effect on him.

If his health is increased by 10%, that's several hundred health points. If that's combined with certain Hextech enhancements that can boost his health by a percentage, then he'll be able to ascend to heaven by stepping on his own two feet.

This means that with her holy talisman's blessing, his overall strength can reach another level.

After all, there's a general consensus in games: third-rate characters are judged by their stats, second-rate characters by their mechanics, and top-rate characters by their "buffs".

With sufficient enhancement, even an ordinary character can unleash tremendous combat power instantly.

If we could recruit all the top support players from his original elite team, his strength would double.

But that's a story for another time.

Hex pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the letter in Inessa's hand: "Let's see what it says."

Inessa nodded and unfolded the letter.

The text above is written in messy, cursive English, and the content is obscure and rushed.

[Cadero:]

The Lord had already given a prophecy, and the torrent of fate was temporarily redirected by a sudden change.

In the coming hours, the remaining altars will be besieged by both the united front and the church. Don't ask why; those fools who are destined to perish will only try to hinder their fate with their meager strength.

But the great purge will eventually begin as scheduled.

The Lord has revealed that we need to hold a special ceremony to summon a warrior of the Lord to descend into the world and delay their offensive.

At the same time, they abandoned the other four altars and held onto the last one until midnight.

At that time, the Lord will descend with a portion of his power and connect with our bodies, breaking through the barrier of reality and allowing the gates of hell to descend.

However, due to external interference, the Lord's blessing was disrupted by those fools, and even if the gates of hell were opened, they could not take shape and needed time to reform.

Therefore, I command you to evacuate and, after the gates of hell are fully opened, infiltrate the vault of the Manchester Royal Bank branch. Using living beings as anchors, use witchcraft to hasten the descent of the gates of hell. Besides you, there are five other nodes.

Because the Lord is temporarily unable to descend in his true form, you must remain steadfast. Furthermore, you must always be aware of any "anomalies" that may change your destiny; the Lord will personally descend and take control of them.

Bigley

After Hex finished reading, the entire line of text suddenly swam like tadpoles, eventually transforming into a large line of characters.

You are mine, Horus!

Those malicious words instantly generated an unusual spiritual force, which surged towards Hextech's soul.

Then, this mental energy was neutralized by the adaptive helmet of the teammates' bond.

Inessa was startled and immediately pressed the crucifix onto the letter. A pure white flame ignited and quickly burned the letter to ashes.

"I've already purified myself..." Inessa bit her lower lip.

Hextech reassured him, "It's alright, he is, after all, a Demon Lord."

No matter how careful he was, he could still easily fall victim to a more powerful demon.

However, even a soul attack from a demon lord could be blocked by his adaptive helmet.

That shield only lasts three minutes, and even with a cutting-edge inventor, the cooldown period is two minutes.

The so-called "lord" in this letter should be the demon lord Calodos.

He could confirm three things from this letter.

First of all, although he banished Calodos, he still used his hellish magic to pass on information to the Adventists, calling it "prophecy and oracle," which is ridiculous.

This also explains why the Adventists moved their base so quickly. Even though the Church and the United Front purged the traitors and blocked information immediately, they could not stop Calodos from sending messages directly from Hell to the believers.

Secondly, the Gates of Hell did not fully descend due to their obstruction, covering only a few blocks.

But Calodos was not satisfied; he was determined to completely shroud Manchester in the gates of hell.

Finally, and most importantly.

Having been thwarted by Hextech once, Kalodos now harbors a deep hatred for him and will undoubtedly seek revenge the moment Hextech's true form arrives.

His plan to hide for seven days fell through.
