Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 40 The Fall of the Magician
The figure who left and came back was naturally Eli.

Although he could not identify the special demons lurking in the demon group, the detection range of his soul far exceeded the legendary holy level. Even if he pretended to evacuate more than ten kilometers, he could still cover the entire city with his soul.

Of course, the most important thing is that these four hidden special demons are not smart and cautious, otherwise they would not be lured out so easily.

Like Eli, who has a brain full of muscles, the demons are not very good at using their brains. This is also an important reason why they only have warriors but no magicians.

However, although many races among the hundreds of races have magicians, in this Dharma Ending Age caused by the invasion of demons, ordinary magicians are just grass, and only magicians of the Saint level and above are treasures.

The demons are worthy of their name. They have possessed extremely high magic resistance since birth. Ordinary magic will not work on them at all. This is another important reason why their race cannot produce magicians.

Before the invasion of the demons, the continent and the ocean had a force of magicians that was not much inferior to that of warriors. Moreover, compared with warriors, magicians were more rare because they could play a greater role on the battlefields of various races.

Although the overall strength of warriors and magicians of the same level is not much different, in terms of attack range, magicians are far stronger than warriors. The number of enemies that a warrior can kill with one sword is extremely limited, but a magician can cover a large area of ​​enemies with one spell.

Someone once said that magicians were born for destruction, devastation and war.

If there had been no invasion by demons, magicians would still be an extremely powerful force. Although magic is more difficult to learn than martial arts and requires more talent, resulting in magicians being far less numerous than warriors, the magicians' terrifying battlefield capabilities cannot be ignored by any race.

Unfortunately, the strong position of magicians only existed before the invasion of the demons. After the demons with strong magic resistance invaded the continent, the status of magicians and their importance to all races plummeted due to the "Meeting a Third-Level High-Level" incident. Over the next thousand years, fewer and fewer people were willing to learn magic, resulting in fewer and fewer magicians in each race. Until today, a thousand years later, ordinary magicians and even high-level magicians have become dispensable, and only magicians of the Saint level and above can become the treasure of the country.

As for what the "Meeting with a Third-Level Higher-Level" incident is, as the name suggests, it was in the early days of the demon invasion, when the continental coalition forces of the All-Nation Alliance were fighting against the demons, a bloody hand-to-hand fight broke out between the warrior corps and the demons. Although the casualties were not small, many demons were indeed killed.

What about the magician corps that are more suitable for large-scale combat? Their performance on the battlefield can be said to be disastrous. The low-level magician corps caused as many as zero casualties to the demons. The mid-level magician corps did cause some casualties to the demons, but it was really limited. As for the high-level magician corps, they did cause a lot of casualties to the demons, but they themselves suffered heavy casualties when facing the sudden attack of the high-level demons. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the holy ranks of the coalition, they would most likely be wiped out by the enemy demons.

In the post-war statistics of that great war, the lethality of low-level magicians against the demons was zero. Judging from the battle records of the mid-level magician corps and the high-level magician corps, only the high-level magicians (fourth-level) could cause damage to the weakest demon soldiers (first-level), the great magicians (sixth-level) could cause casualties to the elite demon soldiers (third-level), and the mages (seventh-level) who had surpassed ordinary magicians and entered the ranks of high-level strongmen could only cause damage to the demon centurions (fourth-level).

After this battle, the demons would always use this incident to taunt the coalition's magicians in every battle. They shouted that the demons would automatically rise three levels when they met a magician, which made the coalition's magician army very angry.

It was also after this that magic began to decline. After all, magicians were powerless against demons of the same level. Powerful magicians (eighth level) and great magicians (ninth level) could not even defeat the most common high-level demons. Only the holy magicians who had become saints could break the joke of "three levels higher when meeting". It can only be said that all beings are equal under the forbidden spells. Even the high-level demons with extremely high magic resistance could not withstand the terrible damage of the forbidden spells. Just to enter the holy level, whether for warriors or magicians, not only do you need to work hard day after day, but you also need to have extremely high cultivation talent. Most importantly, you have to survive the crazy assassination of magic geniuses of various races by the demons until the day you become a saint.

Therefore, even the terrifying power of the Holy Mage cannot prevent the collapse of the Magician's Path. This is also the reason why there are so few magicians in the coalition of hundreds of races that they can be almost ignored.

Take Eli for example. If he could reunite the two armies, he would be able to gather at least a million troops and no less than seventy or eighty high-level warriors. But even so, the number of ordinary magicians under his command might be less than ten, and the number of high-level magicians would be zero.

Today, the Allied Forces of Hundred Races and the invading demon army are relying on their warriors to fight each other. Only when the battle situation is extremely bad will the Allied Forces of Hundred Races take the risk of sending out precious ninth-level magicians and holy-level magicians who are scarcer than ordinary demigods to give the demons a severe blow.

Every time a magician of this level takes action, he will be protected by at least dozens of warriors of the same level. There are even demigods of the coalition forces guarding in the dark to prevent the demons from attacking and killing the ninth-level and saint-level magicians at all costs.

Of course, the decline of the magician has nothing to do with Eli. At this time, Eli was grabbing five unconscious captives and running towards his army camp. As for the remaining mutated magic soldiers, he couldn't take care of them for the time being. It was not important to kill them as monsters. The key was to find the root cause of the demon mutation.

At Eli's speed, it didn't take long to reach the military camp. After slowing down, Eli grabbed the prisoners and went straight to look for Longdo.

The secret of the demon clan's mutation is of vital importance, and among those in the army who understand interrogation and torture, only Londo is trustworthy.

Relying on the guidance of his spirit, Eli quickly found Rondo in the army. Without having time to say anything to the other high-level warriors who were also present, Eli took the captive and Rondo to the commander's tent.

After instructing Jessica and Cecilia to guard outside the tent and not allow anyone to approach, Eli handed the captive to Rondo for him to extract a confession, and then... Rondo left the tent alone.

Well, in Eli's tent, apart from a large bed that could accommodate at least three people, there were only some chairs and benches, and he didn't even have any torture instruments. How could he rely on those erotic items in his storage space... no, those props that caused minor pain and itchiness?

Soon, Rondo, who had left not long ago, came back. No one was arranged to move the things. As an important figure in the Duke's Mansion, Rondo also had a storage ring. Although the size of its storage space could not be compared with Eli's, it was still enough to hold some torture instruments.

Next, because of the bloodiness and violence, Rondo's confession process was mosaiced...
