Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　He simply stood there quietly, waiting for the demons to fly towards him.

　This is not surprising.

　It was just a cluster of Flomos, and there wasn't even a single high-ranking Flomos among them.

　They couldn't even break through the constant protective spells on Moros, let alone cause him any real damage.

　Given this, Moros was naturally able to face all of this with a detached and indifferent attitude.

Chapter 583 The Attack of Fromon and the Temptress

　Although the Fromon are not particularly powerful, they are still demons with the ability to fly, and their eyesight far exceeds that of normal humans.

　Therefore, the Floods, which were swooping down on the necromancer, were able to easily detect every subtle movement of their target.

　Moros's calm and confident demeanor naturally aroused suspicion and confusion among some of the attackers, the Fromon.

　Even though their flight speed did not decrease in the slightest, they continued their hunting and pouncing actions.

　However, their movements involuntarily slowed down a bit.

　Some of the slightly more astute individuals, even more subconsciously...

　A portion of their strength was set aside for defense.

　This is to defend against a possible fatal blow from the opponent and avoid becoming a victim of that fatal attack.

　In this respect, it must be admitted that the Tanaris, who inhabit various levels of the Abyss, do have limited intelligence, equivalent to that of a nine- or ten-year-old child.

　However, through years of hunting, they have developed a slight sense of pure combat alertness. Although it is insignificant, it is enough to keep them vigilant at critical moments and prevent them from being caught off guard.

　Unfortunately, no matter how vigilant Flomo was, who was at most a mid-level demon, he could not change the outcome in front of a demigod.

　Admittedly, since Florom belongs to the category of demons, Moros's tried-and-true cleansing spell, [Curse of the Underworld], is unable to exert its due effect.

　However, as a demigod-level necromancer, how could Moros's wide-area destructive spells be limited to just the [Netherworld Curse]?

　Without the necromancer making any move, the soul currents surrounding him, which were difficult to detect with the naked eye, had already split into hundreds of tiny tributaries.

　Driven by Moros's will, these soul attacks, woven from soul energy and death magic, were like precision-guided arrows, accurately locking onto the Flomos that were swooping down at an astonishing speed.

　Given the necromancer's [Curse Power] attribute and the Flomo's low soul resistance, such a powerful soul attack is something a low-level demon like the Flomo cannot withstand.

　In an instant, the once-aggressive Flomos swarm fell from the sky like birds with broken wings, without warning.

　Clearly, under the relentless onslaught of the legendary spell [Soul Circulation], the souls of these Florids had been annihilated.

　Although their bodies remained intact, their souls had been completely destroyed by the fierce attack on their souls.

　At that very moment, an attack originating from the void suddenly appeared and slammed into the magical shield that had materialized out of thin air around the necromancer.

　At the same time, a huge figure slowly appeared from the void beside him.

　The Hammer of Chaos? It's Glabrezu!

　With his profound knowledge of demonology, Moros immediately recognized the source of the attack and the true identity of the enormous figure.

　Of course, this is also thanks to the seductive demon's iconic physical features.

　The Temptress, a top-tier high-ranking Tanaris demon.

　This demon has keen violet eyes, and its skin, a mix of dark brown and black, is covered with a carapace covered with hideous bone spurs.

　Their biological carapace grants them extraordinary defensive capabilities, and coupled with their four sharp claws wreathed in tainted abyssal energy, their close-quarters combat abilities far surpass those of ordinary high-ranking demons.

　The Temptress stands 15 feet tall and weighs an astonishing 5500 pounds, a size that commands respect even among the Tanaris demons.

　Unlike the Floods that were easily defeated by the Soul Circulation, the Temptresses are not weak among the high-ranking demons.

　In terms of direct combat capability, an average-level Temptress can easily slaughter an entire modern army company with its powerful spell-like abilities.

　More importantly, seductive demons are different from other demons whose minds are clouded by confusion; they prefer to deceive rather than fight directly.

　Although if the seduction and deception fail, the temptresses will immediately become enraged and launch a fierce and terrifying attack.

　But this also shows that seductive demons are a rare breed of demons who use their brains.

　This is why the Temptress was able to precisely seize the moment when Moros was most relaxed after wiping out the Fromon horde and decisively launch an attack.

　Unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be bridged simply by seizing a favorable opportunity.

　When the Temptress's [Chaos Hammer] failed to penetrate the necromancer's constant magical shield, its fate was sealed.

　With just a thought, the scattered tributaries of soul circulation that had wiped out the entire Fromon group quickly converged.

　As if it had acquired its own thoughts and consciousness, the re-converged soul currents rushed straight into the mind of the bewitching demon that had revealed its true form.

　Although the Temptress's spell resistance is significantly enhanced compared to the Frostfiend, even a negligible portion of the power of legendary spells is enough to utterly shatter and destroy its soul defenses.

　Immediately afterward, just as the seductive demon was about to cast [Dispel Magic] to break the magical shield on Moros, it collapsed straight to the ground without warning.

　Clearly, this high-level seductive demon also failed to pass the exemption, and its soul, like the previous Flo demons, suffered a devastating blow.

　After storing the Temptress's corpse in his spatial ring, Moros prepared to depart.

　Since he arrived at the Plains of Ten Thousand Abyss, less than ten minutes have passed, yet he has already been besieged by a horde of Flomo demons and ambushed by a Temptress demon.

　If we stay here any longer

　Going forward, it's hard to say what "surprises" might come next.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, Moros was indeed powerful enough to be considered a strongman even in the treacherous environment of the Abyss.

　Even if it is only the bottomless abyss of the world of Toril, and not the bottomless abyss of the multiverse, a spellcaster of the demigod level cannot act recklessly.

　After all, the demigods of the Ashan world are not the same as the demigods of the Toril world.

　In the world of Ashan, demigods are merely a power level between humans and gods.

　In the world of Toril, demigods are true gods with weak divine power.

　Even the weakest deity is not someone a demigod in the Ashan world can rival.

　True gods possess the ability to create any known matter out of thin air; destroying a planet like Earth would be as easy as lifting a finger for them.

　In contrast, consider the demigods of the Ashan world...

　Even those terrifying beings who have already touched the limits of the demigod level can only defeat the avatars of gods under the constraints of the prime material plane.

　Once a deity descends in their true form regardless of the consequences, even the most powerful demigod will have no choice but to flee for their life, with absolutely no chance of victory.

Chapter 584 Marching Through the Abyss and Encountering the Balrog

　As the abyss level closest to the battlefield of bloodshed, the density of demons in the Abyss Plains ranks among the highest in the many abyss levels of the Bottomless Abyss.

　This is why, even though Moros had previously demonstrated his formidable power with the blood of hundreds of demons, he still failed to earn the slightest respect from the other demons he encountered along the way.

　To be precise, the necromancer's battles were practically non-stop during the long journey to Broken Domain Town.

　You won't walk more than a few steps before you encounter a demon that suddenly attacks without warning, for no apparent reason.

　However, considering the Tanaris' inherent nature of belonging to the Chaos faction, it's not surprising that these guys do anything outrageous.

　Of course, Moros also welcomes all these living souls and demon corpses that come to him willingly.

　In most cases, he does not need to chant complicated spells when facing attacking demons.

　By simply drawing upon the immense power of the legendary spell [Soul Circulation] that flows constantly within him, and diverting a tiny wisp of soul energy, he can easily grind the souls of attacking demons into dust.

　Then, under the power of the demigod-level [Necromantic], the corpses of these demons will rise again, offering the necromancer a loyalty they never possessed in life.

　In addition, the demon souls that have been shattered into fragments will not be wasted easily.

　Moros simply cast a spell to collect all the soul fragments and pour them into the prepared Soul Storage Sphere.

　It is precisely because of these demon soul fragments stored in the [Soul Storage Sphere] that the necromancer's constant [Soul Circulation] power, after being used extensively, not only did not show any depletion, but became even more abundant and powerful than at the beginning.

　As for how he learned the exact location of Broken Domain Town, it was thanks to the real-time information provided by the demons who kept coming to their deaths.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, extracting the information needed from the depths of the soul was a piece of cake for him.

　For those high-ranking demons who have spent a long time in the Abyss Plains, the exact location of Broken Domain Town is not a secret.

　Thirteen hours later.

　After witnessing firsthand how the undead soldiers resurrected by necromancy overwhelmed the berserker demons who were indulging in a killing frenzy, Moros couldn't help but frown.

　The marching speed is too slow!

　Along the way, the battles were like a relentless storm, never ceasing for a moment.

　Even the tireless undead army, which needs no rest and has the support of expert-level [Logistics], could only barely advance 120 kilometers under such harsh marching conditions.

　On Earth, such a marching speed would be astonishing.

　After all, the fighting never stopped while the army was on the march.

　Due to the relentless bloody battles, the Wanyuan Plain has always been a place where both sides repeatedly fought, engaged in a tug-of-war, and depleted each other's forces.

　Under such circumstances, such a marching speed is undoubtedly too slow.

　Should I abandon these hastily assembled undead troops?

　Looking at the undead army that had amassed tens of thousands of units before him, Moros was filled with hesitation.

　Although these undead troops were merely a hastily assembled, one-off fighting force made from the corpses of demons, even if he didn't abandon them, these undead could only exist for a maximum of a week.

　However, the presence of these undead troops is crucial to the strength of the spell shield generated by the legendary spell [Legion's Protection].

　In the perilous abyss, no one would complain that their protective gear is too heavy.

　It is precisely to make legendary spells [

　The fact that Legion's Protection was continuously active was why Moros was willing to expend magic and time to revive the corpses of those demons.

　If he chooses to give up now, wouldn't all his previous efforts in using [Necromantic Spells] to revive these demon corpses be in vain?

　It wasn't just the sunk cost; there was also a very real consideration that made the necromancer hesitate to make a decision.

　The purple-quality hero template upgrade quest that Moros is currently undertaking is completely different from the two hero template upgrade quests he experienced before.

　This time, he must survive in the bottomless abyss for at least a year.

　Furthermore, Moros also intends to use this time to delve into and master the legendary spell, Time Warp Field.

　In this situation, he desperately needed a loyal and reliable force to share the trivial matters with him.

　Otherwise, even if Moros's hero level is as high as 40, he will find it difficult to find the time to complete the set goal.

　Even worse, if you're unlucky, even the most basic survival challenges can become extremely difficult.

　There's no way around it; the living environment in the bottomless abyss is so harsh that it's truly astonishing.

　Take his journey into the Abyss for example. Without the assistance of the undead army, even though he was already a qualified demigod spellcaster, he would have had to consume precious mana supplies to meet the challenges.

　And this was only the first day he descended into the abyss.

　If he were to start using supplies now, how would he cope with the endless challenges and crises that would follow over the next long year?

　Just as Moros was caught in a dilemma, a deafening roar suddenly ripped through his thoughts.

　Looking into the distance, an ominous plume of black smoke suddenly rose from the horizon, accompanied by a thunderous roar, as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching with unstoppable force.

　The undisguised, scorching heat burned the air, clearly revealing the true identity of that colossal creature—

　Balor the Fire Demon!

　The demons on the Plains of Ten Thousand Abyss were instantly thrown into panic. Even the most fanatical and fearless berserker demons, under this suffocating pressure, could no longer care about the undead army under the necromancer's command.

　Like livestock driven by fear, they fled madly away from the Balrog, completely ignoring the undead army that was right next to them.

　This is not surprising.

　In the bottomless abyss, most Balrogs serve the demon lords, acting as generals or officers.

　In other words, the appearance of a Balrog often foreshadows the arrival of an entire demon army.

　Those Balrogs who do not serve the demon lords are even more fearsome.

　They are either powerful demon lords themselves, or terrifyingly strong beings capable of single-handedly slaughtering an entire demon legion.

　For demons not commanded by Balor Balor, encountering any type of Balor Balor would be catastrophic.

　After all, in the eyes of Balrogs, if there is an opportunity to kill to their heart's content, almost no Balrog can resist the impulse and desire in their heart.
