Chapter 79 [Fire Burning Demon] Elite! Third
Sauron was badly wounded.
Even after becoming the elite form of [Huo Fen Mo], only a small part of his injuries have recovered. Leapfrogging to challenge a more powerful enemy is quite dangerous. Sauron's body can do it because it has enough special abilities to support it, and it also has good equipment and other means of turning the tables. But now the newborn devil incarnation doesn't have so many hole cards, and basically has not trained their specialties and abilities. Needless to say, their equipment, the only advantage is the inherited combat skills.
At the most critical moment, Sauron was almost beaten into a dying state by the bone demon, but luckily he persisted.
After killing an officer-level bone demon, Sauron's ability has been greatly improved. Balrog's 'entanglement' ability is a very useful combat technique, which can directly trap some enemies who are not strong enough. Sauron's previous battles were entangled with the flame whip. In the future, if he advances to become a Barlow demon, he can directly strangle some weak enemies.
For now.
Sauron's important abilities that are worse than Balor's are proficient in two-weapon combat, telekinesis (instantaneous ability), powerful cleave, violent attack, proficient in first strike, etc.
I am afraid that these special abilities cannot be mastered until the advanced [Balrog] form.
"Entangling [Special Ability]: The +1 Flame Whip of Fire Burning Demon can entangle the opponent like a net attack. The Flame Whip has 20 health points and does not need to be folded. Once the whip hits the target, the target must attack itself once. Strength judgment confrontation. If you win, you can pull the target towards your body full of flames. The entangled target will be temporarily affected by the restraint, and the enemy whose physique and strength are crushed will trigger an additional mandatory death save determination."
The elite form of Huo Fen Mo unintentionally possessed a part of Balrog's power.
Although the ability of entanglement is very useful, what Sauron wants most is not this, but the 'advanced teleportation' that can only be mastered by mid-level and high-level demons.
This is the real core competence.
If he can comprehend the 'advanced teleportation technique', Sauron can enter and leave the battlefield at any time. Whether it is healing, making up, or retreating, it is quite convenient.
From the current point of view, he seems to have almost accumulated. (Note: Most high-level demons and devils have the ability to teleport.)
Entering the elite form strengthens Sauron's basic attributes and vitality, and his height is also close to 2.5 meters. He looks like a little giant. When he enters the Balrog form in the future, Sauron's height will reach three meters or more. At the same time, all aspects of body shape will suppress medium-sized enemies.
This size is not suitable for delicate fighting, but if it is a skill like the sword gesture [beheading], then the power will become quite huge!
Sauron needs to re-adapt to his fighting ability, and every change in body shape has an adaptation period.
Therefore, he quickly retreated towards the rear.
It wasn't until Sauron withdrew from the battlefield that he realized that the center of the battlefield had turned into a chaotic battle, with two places attracting the most attention. One is an army of beholders who seldom appear in bloody battles, and a Barlow Balrog holding a death scythe.
Very powerful weapon!
Very very powerful weapon!
Sauron didn't even need to turn on his perception, but he felt the powerful power contained in the death scythe burning with black flames!
Unable to determine whether it is an artifact or not.
But it is certain that the real power will never be weaker than the divine weapon. This kind of underworld weapon rarely falls into the bottomless abyss, and it looks like it is a weapon specially prepared for Balor after modification.
The Demon Overseer did not stop Sauron from retreating.
In fact. There were not many living demons left on his flank of the battlefield.
at this time.
He only had a little time to heal himself, and at the same time retreated to the rear of the army formation to check his advanced attributes:

………………
The attributes have been further improved due to the change in form, and Sauron has now changed from a [medium-sized creature] to a [large creature].
The most obvious change. It's not the various basic attributes that have been added, but a certain ability that Sauron possesses. His [Intimidation] suddenly soared to 210 points, which was almost comparable to the intimidation ability of the main body!
It's just unbelievable.
Sauron himself didn't know why [Intimidation] suddenly increased so much.
Don't you look scary now? !
Sauron didn't have a mirror by his side, so he couldn't see his current appearance, but he reached out and touched it. It doesn't seem to have changed much, it still looks like a hybrid creature between a half-elf and a demon, like a purgatory demon, except for the sharp ears and dark red skin, there is no obvious appearance Change. The outline of the face still looks more human, not the blue-faced, fangs and claws of other demons.
It's just that the body shape has changed from the original 1 to the current 1.5, and the muscles all over the body are full of explosive pressure!
"Looks like leading demons will be a lot easier in the future."
In the extremely chaotic place of the bottomless abyss, [Negotiation] is definitely not as useful as [Intimidation] and [Fraud]. As long as one's own [Intimidation] ability is high enough, it will be much easier to control other demons.
This may be the addition of the elite template, the monster in the elite form is originally a small boss.
As Sauron stepped back, the nearby demons moved out of the way. Even the Berserker, who was very hostile to him at first, did not dare to look directly at Sauron now, and even approached him with a trace of awe on his face. As for the other low-level demons, if they were accidentally watched by Sauron, they would almost tremble with fear. Not even Sauron's low-level demons, he seems to be able to command them now. Specific changes will be explored slowly in the future.
………………
The casualties of the Devil Legion are increasing.
The balance of victory seemed to be tilted to the side of the demon army. The six-armed snake demons tore apart the formation of the demon army, and some even rushed to the rear. The figure of the Barlow demon kept disappearing and appearing. Every time he appeared, he would take away a The life of the devil. The army of beholders is the most terrifying long-range force, and the overwhelming rays make it impossible for devils to get close. Most of the latter are approaching, and a huge number of mid-level demons are crushing towards the demon army as the core.
As long as there is a hole in the devil's front. A large number of demons can overwhelm them.
but!
The uneasiness in Sauron's heart became more and more intense.
For nearly a thousand years, the confrontation between demons and demons has always been about losing more than winning. This situation made him feel weird everywhere. The number of horned demons is too small, and the core troops of Bator's Demon Refining have not seen it. Although there are many middle and high-level devils. But it seems that the real elites are not here, and they haven't seen the figure of the hell demon generals, and the top blood battle corps led by them.
There must be other battlefields erupting!
Either the devils are still hiding some conspiracy, or their real purpose lies elsewhere.
Roar.
A dull low roar came from the distant sky.
Ho ho ho!
The growls are getting closer and closer. It spread throughout the battlefield in an instant, and Sauron was so familiar with this voice. He couldn't help but feel like his hair was blown all over, and he retreated back almost instantly without looking back.
dragon!
Dragon!
Lots and lots of dragons!
In the distant sky appeared some giant dragon figures approaching rapidly, red dragon, white dragon, green dragon, blue dragon, black dragon, and the five-color dragon clan of the evil camp seemed to all appear at this moment.
Adult dragons appeared on the edge of the battlefield. Flying over from the back of the bloody battle fortress, and then swooping down towards the demon army, one after another terrible dragon breath enveloped the battlefield, like the most ruthless massacre, crushing the offensive of the demon army in an instant, Baro, who was still singing and rushing at the beginning The Balrog almost turned around and ran away when he saw that something was wrong. The Six-armed Snake was surrounded by heavy siege, and the Soul Demon and Glamor were also retreating quickly.
Devil's conspiracy!
They actually hired five-color giant dragons as their helpers, and there were at least twenty adult dragons in front of them. This terrifying fighting power could completely determine the outcome of a bloody battle.
—— "[Mother of Evil Dragons] - Tiamat!"
The god served by the five-color evil dragon is a five-headed dragon with [weak divine power], with a terrifying power of 49 points, and a powerful evil god who lives in Bator Hell.
[Mother of Evil Dragons] is a terrifying five-headed dragon in itself, and is blessed with the power of gods!
for a long time.
The number of times that she could be persuaded to participate in the bloody battle was very few, and the situation in front of her was obviously written by her, because besides the mother of dragons, Sauron really couldn't think of anyone who could control and command the red dragon, green dragon, and dragon at the same time. Blue Dragon, Black Dragon and White Dragon. The five-color evil dragons are not united, and there is only one person who can make them fight together, and that is the [Mother of Evil Dragons] they serve - Tiamat.
The outcome on the battlefield is already doomed.
Unless a demon lord appears, or an incarnation of a god appears, it is impossible for a demon to defeat so many adult dragons.
Sauron is retreating rapidly.
However, after seeing so many five-colored dragons, he didn't have too much fear in his mind, but a very pity regret, and murmured: "All five-colored dragons are here! If the main body is on the battlefield, it is estimated that You can complete [Dragon Slayer] in one breath with the help of divine power!"
"What a pity."
