Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 278 Purgatory Aircraft Carrier
Trial space.

On the barren land, there is a huge steel fortress.

Mottled dark red rust, like dried blood.

"Blood Hand Fortress", the stronghold of demons, has been submerged under a bigger shadow at this moment.

The shadow came from a thousand meters above the sky, a pitch-black warship.

To be exact, it is more like a floating island.

It is more than 200 meters in diameter, covered with thick armor, and has raised edges and corners, looking like a huge six-pointed star.

Each raised sharp corner corresponds to a group of turrets, providing all-round anti-aircraft fire without dead ends.

A large group of vulture demons and succubi are frantically besieging the battleship.

However, in the face of the purgatory fireballs constantly fired from the turrets, the charge of the demons was tantamount to suicide.

The moment it was bombarded by the fireball, it was vaporized by high temperature.

At the same time, the hatch on the belly of the battleship opened.

Huge cone-shaped bombs were thrown down in the air.

Accompanied by a sharp whistling, it hit the dome of the fortress.

The steel dome reinforced with protective magic was as fragile as cardboard when it was bombarded by a heavy bomb infused with the "Disintegration Technique".

Under the green light released at the moment of the explosion, the iron wall disintegrated into fine dust, opening a huge cavity.

The facilities inside the fortress were subsequently exposed.

After three rounds of bombing, the dome of the fortress was riddled with holes.

The demons inside the fortress realized that they could only wait for death if they kept shrinking, so they rushed out one after another and joined the ranks of besieging the Purgatory Air Mother.

Compared with the devil, the biggest advantage of the devil is the number.

Facing the swarms of demons besieging the sky, the Purgatory Aircraft Mother's anti-aircraft artillery gradually became overwhelmed.

The anti-aircraft barrage was finally broken through, and the ferocious vulture demons rushed to the turret, destroying it frantically.

The purgatory cannons misfired one after another.

At this time, the purgatory aircraft carrier opened a row of portholes, and a large group of devils flew out.

The one with the largest number is the Thorn Demon covered in barbs.

The second is the Erinite who holds a longbow and looks like a fallen angel.

There is also a higher-ranking bone demon, which looks like a huge insect skeleton with a chainsaw-like tail.

The leader of all these devil air forces is an ice devil.

This sixth-level devil is like a half-human, half-locust ice sculpture, with pale compound eyes shining with a cold luster.

Holding a silver spear in his hand, he exuded a slight chill.

All demons who approached her would be attacked by the extremely cold aura, their bodies would be covered in frost, and their speed would also become slow.

The Ice Demon waved his spear at will, and a bone-chilling blizzard rained down from the sky.

The demons were frozen, rolling and falling.

Behind the ice demon, a special guard followed.

It looks like erinia, but instead of armor, it wears a leather uniform similar to tights, surrounded by many metal tubular objects, like living guns!

This weird weapon system is like a flock of birds shuttling.

Lock the demons, and collectively spray pitch-black hellfire.

After a round of strafing, the demon that was hit was burnt.

……

On the periphery of the battlefield, an inconspicuous corner.

Caroline cast a spell to create a "shelter hut" isolated from outside objects, kneeling in the center of the carpet, holding the scrying crystal ball in both hands.

Allen, Julie, Flynn, and Tao Na sat around the Spider Queen and watched the melee in the air through the crystal ball.

"What kind of weapon is that? It looks so flexible!"

Tao Na stared at the flamethrowers remotely controlled by the witches, her eyes full of curiosity.

"'Hellfire Floating Cannon', the special weapon of 'Hell Angel'." Allen explained.

"What is 'Hell Angel'?" Julie was also puzzled, "We have dealt with devils a lot these days, but this is the first time we have seen this kind of weapon."

"A single-soldier exoskeleton construct developed by the devils is complicated in detail."

Allen briefly introduced the functions of "Prison Angel", and everyone was amazed.

"Alan, you are not a purgatory warlock, how do you know the secret weapon of the devils?" Caroline cast a puzzled look.

"I have a good friendship with Sonia from the Human Devil Cult, and I have obtained a lot of information about the devil's army from her."

Allen pointed to the discovery crystal ball.

"Look, Auntie, the ice demon captain on the devil's side has thirteen witches equipped with 'Hell Angel' in total, and the captain is my friend Sonia."

"Actually, Sonia joined the Devil's side for two purposes."

"The first is to obtain an advanced license, and the second is to build a 'Hell Angel' system to strengthen one's own combat power."

"It now appears that at least the second purpose has been achieved."

Caroline and the others looked in the direction of his finger.

Sure enough, he saw a black-winged witch flying in the air, she must be Sonia's erinia atavistic form.

There are surprisingly many "Hellfire Floating Cannons" around her!

Visually, there are no less than forty pieces, which is twice as much as an ordinary witch!
It is not difficult for everyone to imagine that the more floating cannons that can be remotely controlled at the same time, the stronger the mental power must be.

"Sister Sonia's cultivation has already reached the late fifth stage, but the upper limit of the bloodline of the erinyao is only at this level. If you want to go further, I'm afraid you have to advance to a higher level devil."

Tao Na and Sonia have a good personal relationship and often exchange letters.

Allen nodded, then continued the topic she raised and said:
"Sonia intends to advance to a high-level erotic demon, that is, Yue Demon, but it is not easy. First, she must hunt demons on the battlefield, accumulate enough meritorious service, obtain a promotion license, and then collect the souls of celestial creatures. Refining soul jade and matching licenses can advance to high-level lust demons."

"The devil's advancement, that's the bad point!" Caroline smiled wryly, "Without the permission of the boss, no matter how strong you are, it's useless!"

Allen nodded, and said softly: "The captain of the purgatory aircraft carrier, Kycilia, is Sonia's boss. In order to obtain a license, Sonia had to serve as the captain of the guard for this eccentric ice demon. "

Sonia, the captain of the guard, behaved conscientiously.

Under her leadership, the Witch Guard built a solid defense line.

Relying on the powerful firepower of the Hellfire floating cannon, they repelled the demon special attack team that was trying to approach the ice demon and execute the beheading operation.

Under the protection of the Witch Guard, the Ice Demon cast spells calmly.

"Ice Wall", "Ice Storm", "Frost Nova", "Ice Ball"...

There is also the most terrifying 7-ring "law" spell. Just chanting a mantra will cause a devastating blow to the chaotic creatures within 40 meters around.

There is no distinction between devils and demons in terms of degree of evil.

However, the devil belongs to the camp of order and is immune to "laws".

Demons are an out-and-out chaotic camp.

The golden law spouted from the mouth of the Ice Demon symbolizes the law of order to some extent.

Demons below the fourth level will die if they hear it!
Tier [-] and Tier [-] demons will also suffer from at least one negative state such as paralysis, slowness, and deafness.

On the battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, if you lose your mind for a moment, you will be bombarded by floating cannons, and you will be wiped out in ashes.

Seeing that the army of demons besieging the purgatory aircraft carrier frantically was repulsed, Felin wiped off his cold sweat, feeling deeply enlightened.

"Compared to today's extremely exciting battle, the conflicts we have experienced in the past are just small fights."

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the melee between the devil and the devil, beat a few dogs in the water, and get some cheap money. Now it seems that it is safer to watch the show here obediently."

"That's right!" Julie was also deeply shocked by the bloody melee in front of her eyes, "If you put me in a conflict zone, such as Sonia's position, I'm afraid I can't last for 5 minutes, and I have to be kicked back to the origin city!"

Caroline smiled faintly, and finally had the opportunity to show the young man her experience.

"Actually, in real bloody battles, battles of this scale are commonplace, and at least tens of thousands of battles break out every day."

"Even the city of origin is not capable of perfectly simulating the main battle between the devil and the devil."

"Otherwise what you will see is not just a purgatory aircraft carrier, but a group of battleships covering the sky like a flock of birds."

"The devil will not only have one steel fortress, but will build tens of thousands of fortresses along the banks of the River Styx, each of which is larger than the Bloody Hand Fortress you saw."

"The chief generals of both sides must be at least a ninth-level demon, such as the Balow flame demon, the deep hell refiner, and the ice demon. They are only worthy of being small bosses."

"Ms. Caroline, have you ever been to the lower planes and experienced the bloody battle between demons and demons?" Tao Na asked curiously.

"Uh, I haven't participated..." The Spider Queen's cheeks flushed slightly, "I only read about bloody battles in books."

Tao Na gave a meaningful "Oh".

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Julie quickly winked at Tao Na and changed the subject.

"Judging from the current situation, the devil has the upper hand."

"The demon side has paid so many casualties and launched such a crazy offensive, but they can't knock down the purgatory aircraft carrier. I really can't think of how we will complete this perverted mission!"

Tao Na scratched her head, hesitating whether to change to a hunting target that was easier to deal with.

The purgatory aircraft carrier itself is only a sixth-order construct, but if the carrier-based troops are included, the challenge level is too much higher than the sixth-order.

She couldn't figure out how to destroy this huge battleship full of demons and get the construction core.

At this time, there was a slight magic ripple in the air.

A ball of communication light flashing with the emblem of the succubus quietly emerged from beside Allen.

Allen held the ball of light, read the letter, and realized something.

"Aunt Caroline, switch the detection perspective to the inside of the 'Bloodhand Fortress', a good show is about to begin."

"There is an enchantment protection inside the fortress to prevent reconnaissance magic from the outside world. Otherwise, it would be my turn to find out. The devils have already seen the opponent's details clearly."

Caroline looked troubled.

"Auntie, I know there is an anti-reconnaissance barrier inside the fortress, but it doesn't matter, there is our informant inside, carrying a positioning magic device with him, as long as you lock the scouting angle of view on her, you can see everything around her. "

Allen smiled slightly, and then revealed:
"My informant has quite a status among the demons and is qualified to participate in the highest level of secrets. He just sent a letter to inform me that the previous offensive launched by the demons was just a feint. The real good show is yet to come."

Caroline's face changed slightly, and she quickly followed his instructions to switch the detection angle.

The scene in the crystal ball became dim and blurry.

This is a normal phenomenon where scrying magic is blocked by an enchantment.

What follows is not normal.

The dim picture suddenly became clear again.

What is presented is a bird's-eye view, and the picture is scarlet!
The space inside the fortress seems to be more open than the outside after being folded!
Occupying most of the frame is a bubbling, seemingly boiling pool.

The liquid in the pool was bright red and thick, like plasma!
Even through the crystal ball, everyone could feel the extremely evil magic power emanating from the blood pool.

That is the "Chaotic Blood Pool", a unique landscape formed by the Styx River water gathering in the bottomless abyss and absorbing the original magic power of the abyss.

It is said that mortals will immediately lose their memory if they are contaminated with the pool of blood.

Demons can evolve and even be reborn in pools of blood.

Through the crystal ball, everyone saw dense black stone pillars rising from the pool of blood.

On the top of each stone pillar, sat a demon, who seemed to be holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony together.

The demon leader in the center looks like a bull-headed giant covered in black hair, twisted horns, and covered with fine bloody threads.

"That's... the Bull Demon?"

Julie lowered her voice and guessed.

Allen nodded slightly, his eyes serious.

"The third-ranked lord of the Bloody Hand Fortress, Cassius the Bull Demon General, is said to be no less powerful than the early seventh-order!"

"As for the two lords before Cassius, you won't be able to find them in the fortress. They each have a demon army and are attacking the Holy White Tower and the Iron Fist Fortress."

"The war that is breaking out on the other two battlefields is even more intense than what we are seeing at this moment."

Caroline caressed the crystal ball with both hands, and reversely positioned the three demons participating in the blood pool sacrifice from the perspective of scouting.

The demon headed by him has a horned body and a thin body.

On the stone pillars on the left and right sides, there are red-haired giant apes and a beautiful bat-wing witch.

The Spider Queen soon realized that something was wrong.

The 66 demons who are eligible to participate in the blood pool sacrifice are almost all high-level demons, and their strength is at least the late fifth level!
The officiant, Cassius, is a tyrannical seventh-level bull demon!

However, the Brayzu demon with the horned body is nothing more than a goalkeeper of high-level demons.

The ape demon and the succubus are just middle-level demons, and their cultivation base is at most the early stage of the fifth level. How did these two things get mixed in? !
There can only be one explanation for this anomaly.

The three demons are actually abyssal sorcerers who returned to their ancestors, and their strength far exceeds that of the corresponding demons of their respective bloodlines.

"Brazu, Succubus, and Ape Demon, which one is your informant?" Caroline asked Allen.

"Burke, Helent, and Bagula, these three abyssal bloodline warlocks from the Demons family, are all my informants."

Allen explained calmly.

"The one who sent me a letter just now to provide us with a detection location is the enchanted magician Helent."

Caroline took a deep look at him, with a strange expression on her face: "You boy, you have informants on both sides of the devil and the devil, so it's no wonder you're calm and sitting on the Diaoyutai!"

"Actually, Allen also has informants in the Holy White Tower and the Sanctuary of Heretics, so it doesn't matter who they are?" Feilin laughed.

Caroline frowned, thinking about it, it really is.

Flynn, Julie, and Tao Na are all testers belonging to the "Holy White Tower".

Not to mention, Alan's relatives and friends in Yinyue Monastery also joined the Holy White Tower.

As for the "heretical sanctuary"...

Good guy!The informant was myself!
Caroline finally realized that she too was part of Allen's pervasive network.

"You boy! You want to make friends widely, right? No wonder you are well-informed and know everything!"

"Auntie, I dare not take it for your praise." Allen smiled modestly, "Thanks to my friends for their love, I'm just giving me three points."

"Speaking of which, are the high demons gathering together to hold some evil ceremony?" Julie asked.

"It's a joint spell-casting ceremony. The mana of all the participants is concentrated on the host—that is, the bull demon general Cassius. It's not evil."

"Through the ceremony, Cassius' mana has been greatly enhanced, and he can superimpose more supermagic skills. The spells released have a longer range and a wider range. This is the so-called 'strategic casting'."

At the same time as Allen explained, General Bull Demon had already started casting spells.

A circle of golden halo rose from his hand and shot straight into the sky in an instant.

In an instant, the golden halo flew up to a thousand meters high.

Touching the belly of the Purgatory Air Mother, it was intercepted by the anti-magic barrier, and ripples of magic power were stirred up.

The anti-magic barrier of the purgatory aircraft mother is almost immune to all spells or supernatural attacks not exceeding the sixth level.

Facing this inconspicuous golden halo, he resisted for less than two seconds before being shot through!

Tao Na and the others held their breath, expecting to see the big explosion caused by the magic bombardment of the battleship, when a strange scene appeared.

The huge battleship hovering proudly above the "Blood Hand Fortress" just trembled slightly, and then disappeared out of thin air!
Gone……?
The entire battleship, together with thousands of onboard devils, just disappeared without a trace!

Tao Na and Griffin could not help but look at each other.

Caroline had seen a lot after all.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked Allen, "Maze?"

Allen nodded slightly.

The 8-ring magic "labyrinth" of the School of Transfiguration can forcibly exile a designated target to a different dimension.

In that mysterious space that even the caster himself cannot determine, there are endless labyrinths.

The subject trapped in the maze must either use their brains to find a way out.

Or you can only wait in place until 10 minutes later, you will automatically escape from the maze and return to your original position.

It is not surprising that the bull demon is good at "maze tricks".

But under normal circumstances, even with the 8-ring "maze technique", it is impossible to transport a purgatory aircraft carrier and all the crew onboard to the maze of another world thousands of miles away.

The bull demon general Cassius could not do it without the assistance of the group of high-ranking demons around him.

Together with Cassius, 66 high-level demons jointly held a super-magic ceremony to achieve this feat.

But is that the end?

"In 10 minutes, the purgatory aircraft carrier will still appear over the fortress intact. What's the point of the demons doing this?"

Tao Na asked puzzledly.

"Buy time and set up traps."

Caroline had figured it out.

Through the crystal ball, it is not difficult to find that the demons are still racing against time to jointly cast spells, delivering magic power to General Cassius.

A series of complex magic circles were completed with the cooperation of the group of demons, engraved in mid-air.

"The green magic circle is an 8-ring 'dimension lock', which seals all teleportation capabilities within the range."

"The golden magic circle is a 'gravity well' with 5 rings, and the gravity coefficient within the range expands by 32 times - please note that this is a field magic that is not affected by the anti-magic barrier!"

"All these magic circles are enhanced strategic versions, and the coverage is enough to cover the entire purgatory aircraft carrier."

Allen relayed the information Helent revealed to his companions.

"It is conceivable that when the purgatory carrier finally escapes from the maze and returns to its original position, the devil on the battleship will find that he has fallen into a death trap that is a hundred times more terrifying than the alien maze."

"The teleportation function of the battleship is sealed by the 'Dimensional Lock', unable to withstand the pull of the super-gravity field, it will definitely fall straight."

"Passengers on the battleship still have a chance to escape through the hatch. The huge and cumbersome battleship itself will inevitably be dragged into the pool of blood and become the demon's spoils of war."

"With the loss of the purgatory aircraft carrier, the devils have no capital to attack. The next thing to consider is how to escape the devil's pursuit."

"This is General Cassius' battle plan."

After hearing what he said, Caroline let out a long sigh of relief, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

"It seems that the devil does not only go crazy, but occasionally uses his brain, so how should the devil deal with it?"

"Alan! Did you tell Sister Sonia about the evil plan of the devil?" Tao Na asked eagerly, "Is she still in time to run away?"

"I don't need to worry about it, Helen has already reminded her."

"Helen... is she familiar with Sister Sonia?"

"It's okay, they are half-sisters."

Allen did not elaborate on the complicated relationship between Helen and Sonia, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

"Since Sonia knew about the devil's plot, why didn't she tell her boss and take precautions in advance?" Flynn asked.

"In fact, she reported in advance, and was appreciated by Captain Ice Demon, who specially arranged for her to be her captain."

Allen smiled strangely.

"When it comes to playing tricks, the devil is an expert."

"The Ice Demon knew about the doom that Purgatory Air Mother would encounter next, but she didn't say anything, but secretly ordered Sonia and other confidantes to install a special magic bomb in the ammunition depot of the battleship."

"Activate this bomb, and after six seconds, the entire battleship will explode."

"A strong fortress is often easier to breach from the inside."

"If the warship explodes inside the 'Bloodhand Fortress', the destructive power released in an instant is enough to raze the fortress to the ground."

"Sacrificing a battleship in exchange for taking away the old enemy's nest, the devils think that such an exchange is worthwhile."

Including Caroline, everyone's scalps were numb!

Such vicious tactics can only be done by devils.

"Didn't the devils on the battleship suffer heavy casualties?" Julie still couldn't believe it. "Especially the devil who was left behind to detonate the bomb. Wouldn't it be buried with the battleship?"

"You mean Sonia?" Allen smiled, "She is a tester, she is not afraid of death, she volunteered to perform this life-threatening task, and the reward in exchange is a promotion license issued by the Ice Demon."

"Devils are very real. If you don't risk your life for your boss, why should your boss help you get promoted?"

"I hate devils!" Tao Na was full of resentment, "If the devil's plot succeeds, and the purgatory aircraft carrier is blown up to nothing, let alone the construction core, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"

"That's right, the plan of the devils is not in our interest, so I plan to change the development of the plot a little bit."

"How to change?"

"Think about it, after the battleship resets, it is pulled by the supergravity field and accelerates to fall in the air."

"During this process, if a lateral external force is applied to it, it may force the warship to deviate from the predetermined straight-line falling trajectory and fly out of the control range of the supergravity field."

"Although it will still fall to the ground in the end, at least a relatively complete wreck can be preserved. In this way, the construction core can be obtained from the wreck of the battleship."

"To achieve this goal, two prerequisites must be met."

Allen went on to analyze.

"First of all, I have to say hello to Sonia, and tell her not to rush to detonate the bomb."

"In addition, the external force exerted on the battleship must be large enough to change the falling trajectory of this [-]-ton giant ship."

"The question is, what kind of force can push a battleship with huge inertia, even if it is only a little bit off?"

Caroline adjusted her glasses frame, frowning slightly.

"Even if an adult dragon, flying at full speed, recklessly crashes into the purgatory aircraft carrier that is out of control and falling, it is impossible to shake the latter."

"Alan, I can't figure out how to do this."

Allen smiled slightly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I have calculated repeatedly, and this matter is actually not as difficult as you think."

"Indeed, the dragon is powerless to push away the out-of-control purgatory carrier."

"However, there are still creatures with greater power than dragons in this world..."

"You mean... Behemoth?" Caroline guessed.

Allen shook his head lightly.

"Behemoth, stronger than dragons, yes, but not enough."

"Auntie, have you heard of the Golden Titan?"

Caroline was silent for a long time, sighing with complicated emotions.

"Alan... Auntie, I'm afraid I'm still too young and too inexperienced, and I still have a lot to learn from you."
