Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Fluder turned around and looked down at Karl, then smiled and shook his head. "I'm telling you to take advantage of this."

"Use this to your advantage?"

Karkoda raised her eyebrows, as if she realized something.

"Do you know how many people there were in the Griffin Knights of the Hill Dwarf Kingdom back then?"

"Know……"

Karl nodded blankly, then recalled the data about the Hill Dwarf Kingdom he had seen a few years ago.

There is a population of nearly one million, of which the army alone has about one thousand griffin knights, about seven thousand argali cavalry, more than thirteen thousand heavy infantry, and five thousand magic casters, including more than four hundred of the third rank and three of the fourth rank.

If we include folk craftsmen...

Karko swallowed hard, and Fluder looked at Karko and continued.

"Griffins are not easy to tame. Even though the Hill Dwarf Kingdom was destroyed, they have been recuperating over the years. But judging from the fact that he just asked for food, there should still be quite a few Griffin Knights left."

“Otherwise there wouldn’t be such a request.”

"After all, creatures like griffins have big appetites!"

Fluder couldn't help but laugh, the annual expenses of the Hippogriffs alone were enough to give the empire a huge headache, not to mention the Griffins, which were giant aerial beasts that were measured in tons.

There is no strong country that cannot be supported.

"And... Karl, you may not know how powerful those Griffin Knights are."

"Griffins can use storm magic. Guess what will happen if they gather together?"

For a moment, Karl couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Thinking back to the hammer with lightning in the dwarf's hand, she suddenly realized something.

Seeing this, Fluder continued to smile and said, "Yes, he is as powerful as you think. This is what Urek (the first Holy King) told me."

"So I still don't understand...what happened during the Demon God Rebellion?"

Fluder said softly, a hint of sadness in his tone.

After that battle, the Hill Dwarf Kingdom was destroyed, and his friend Urek died on the way to support the dwarves.

The devil... is he that powerful?

Chapter 138: Guess what you lost? (Four thousand two)

Hearing Fluder’s words, Carl couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The vast sky is dotted with stars and looks endless.

But at this moment, Karl could imagine in his mind what the scene would be like with up to a thousand griffin knights soaring in the sky.

Karl slowly closed his eyes, but what echoed in his mind was a horrible punishment from heaven.

A divine punishment that was probably far more extensive than the range of Fluder's [Weather Operation] today, and might even encompass all the sky within her field of vision.

Storms, thunder and lightning ravaged the land wantonly.

At this moment, Karl could hardly think of any race on this land that could compete with him.

Under such power, the only choice I have... is probably despair!

However, this power that makes people feel despair at the thought of it was ultimately destroyed by an even more despairing existence.

The devil...ah, the devil!

This time, Karko couldn't help but empathize with Fluder. After all, they were still too weak.

Even though she actually knew that most of the demons in the rebellion back then were probably above Lv. 40, but at this moment, she truly felt the power of the demon.

You know, logically speaking, she is almost at Lv.35 now, not far from Lv.40, but at this moment she still feels confused.

Because Lv.40 is just the starting point of the Demon God.

Suddenly Karl was startled and woke up.

In fact, she should have realized the power of the demon god today.

Because the battle in the Pioneer City today seemed very dangerous, but in fact it was resolved by just a few spells of Fluder.

A simple [Magic Rank Upgrade to Grease] made it impossible for the Bafolk to climb up the city wall, and then [Weather Operation] combined with [Chain Dragon Thunder] slaughtered the sub-humans covered by wind and snow for no reason.

Even with the help of magic, the spreading lightning could only kill a few hundred demi-humans, which was a drop in the bucket for ten thousand demi-humans. But among these hundreds of people, who could survive, except for someone like King Hao who had strong personal strength and was covered with props?

Even Fluder could use [Chain Dragon Thunder] seven or eight times, but under such large-scale killing, how could the demihuman troops ensure that their morale would not collapse?

This is just Fluder who has mastered the seventh-tier magic. What if it was a demon god?

It is even possible that the insect demon who attacked the dwarf kingdom was more than the seventh level, or even the eighth or ninth level?

For a moment, two conflicting concepts echoed in Karl's mind.

Even the so-called weak NPCs by the players are still something that these natives can never reach in their entire lives.

Even after accepting the power of the Demon God, Karko followed this thought and suddenly discovered that the Demon God was indeed able to deal with the Griffin Knights.

Karl couldn't help but slowly raised his head and looked towards Fluder.

"Fluder-sensei, how is your research on seventh-tier magic going?"

After hearing this, Fluder nodded calmly and even answered a question that was not related to the question.

"It seems that your highness has the same idea as mine. I just thought of this as well."

"At the seventh level, there is a higher level of magic that is resistant to magic at the previous levels."

"Although I haven't yet developed the magic that can enhance magic resistance, I have some understanding of the effect."

"Although it is impossible to be completely immune to damage from a single element, it is possible to be immune to most damage."

"For the Griffin Knights, even though it's only this level, it's probably enough to buy that demon a lot of time to operate."

"Don't forget, Your Highness. That demon god is ultimately a magic chanter, not just a being that can manipulate insect swarms."

"Ah, as expected... the seventh level is a watershed..."

Fluder turned around and looked at the vast sky in front of him, and closed his eyes slightly.

He was also recalling and imagining what Yurek (the first Holy King) had told him. He constructed a storm summoned by thousands of griffin knights based on the knowledge in his mind, and then...

If I put myself in his current situation, and assume that I have learned the seventh-tier higher-level magic...

It can be said that he has no chance of survival, but he can still tear a piece of flesh from the Griffin Knights.

Even bringing in this perspective, and the information he knew about the demon, Fluder was even able to figure out how that demon won.

"In that kind of weather, magic of other elements cannot be used at all. We can only use positive and negative energy. Positive energy has little effect on the dwarves, and they can also drive the plague insect swarm..."

"Ah... the Insect Demon God... a forest priest who prefers to curse and destroy?"

Fluder whispered softly.

As a priest, he knew that priests were not only able to cast magic using positive energy. There were also some professions that were particularly proficient in negative energy and curses.

When the elemental magic is blocked, even if you solve the damage caused by storm and lightning, it is still a problem to fight back.

The only thing that can cause harm in this situation is instant death magic...

That is, it can surpass Yurek's instant death protection, and it may even be a large-scale instant death magic...

"At least the eighth rank?"

At this moment, Fluder closed his eyes slightly, his expression full of loneliness and helplessness.

At this moment, he was glad for his choice, but also felt pain for it.

Such are the contradictions of man.

At this time, Karl on the side also fell into silence.

Compared to Fluder, who was still in the research stage and didn’t even know the name of magic, she knew a lot.

[Superior Teleportation], [Superior Item Creation], [Superior Curse], etc. As long as the magic has the two prefixes of "superior", it basically starts from the seventh rank.

Only the seventh level truly enters the highest level of magic. At this stage, many creatures that are said to be completely resistant to magic cannot avoid the damage of magic.

Likewise, at this stage the increase in magic power will be increased to an unprecedented level.

[Higher Resistance Enhancement], [Higher All Ability Enhancement], [Higher Elemental Damage Defense], etc., and even the more terrifying [Electric Element Damage Nullification]

This is the power of magic casters. No matter what situation they face, high-level magic casters can always find a way to deal with it.

The Griffin Knights were probably unlucky enough to have their weakness discovered.

Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but sigh softly.

Another guess suddenly emerged in her mind.

That is, if this Demon Rebellion is really like the Wed version of the novel, and most of the people involved are NPCs from the guild of Glorious Angel Cat~Meow, then what would Glorious Angel Cat~Meow and the others think if they knew about it?

The human beings that he once protected were finally destroyed by the hands of his former crazy NPC?

Even Karl, a bystander, couldn't help feeling sad.

Although she heard that the Insect Demon was a bug, this appearance did not seem like the NPC that the Glorious Angel Cat~Meow and his guild would create.

But if not, where do these demons come from?

The NPC of the Eight Desire Kings still stays in the Sky Castle. Two hundred years ago, his teacher Fluder once wanted to request to see the world-class item [Nameless Spellbook] but was rejected.

Because it is said that this world-class prop records all the magic in the world, even newly developed magic will be automatically recorded.

If it’s not the six great gods or the eight desire kings, then who could it be?

Or did these demons appear out of nowhere?

For a moment, countless questions appeared in front of Karko like targets, layer upon layer, like rising waves rushing towards Karko.

Desperate and suffocating.

But Karl just stood there.

"Fluder-sensei, let's cheer each other on."

Karl took a deep breath and put his hands on his hips. For a moment, a slightly heroic but more relieved smile appeared on his originally dull face.

"Sooner or later, we will surpass those demon gods, right?"

Karko said with a smile, and the meaning of his words seemed to infect Fluder, and for a moment the old man also laughed.

"Yes, there is always hope, Your Highness."

When Fluder said this, his words were also full of hope.

He has survived more than two hundred years, what is there to be afraid of?

Perhaps he might encounter setbacks in the days to come and hesitate for hundreds of years, but so what?

If he fell twice in the face of the same setback, it would mean that he was just like his disciples. He was not a true genius after all and deserved to be trapped by such setbacks.

For a moment, Fluder's face was filled with relief.

After what happened before, his thinking is not as extreme as before. In a sense, he has become more open-minded.

Of course, he will never give up his pursuit of magic.

But soon, Fluder noticed that Karko seemed to have thought of something, with a trace of distress on his face.

"Your Highness, are you having any problems?"

"Yes, I just remembered something."

As Karko spoke, he pulled out a badge with a gold border and a white background from his bosom. On it, a griffin soaring into the sky looked lifelike.

"This is the badge my father gave me before I left. He told me to take out this badge if they need me to prove my identity after we meet the dwarves."

"Now it seems that I don't need this badge to prove my identity."

"only……"

Karko raised the badge high above his head, rubbing the griffin badge with his right thumb and whispered: "I think I have guessed the origin of this badge."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to return this badge to those dwarves."
