53: Hellfire Demon
The surge of magic power was so intense that even Brian, far away in his territory, sensed it.
He immediately realized that a greater danger might be hidden behind this magic power fluctuation.
Brian's eyes narrowed, and he quickly issued an emergency command to the scouting intelligent robot legion through Spirit Eye:
"All intelligent robots immediately retreat, maintain a safe distance, activate the strongest defense mode, and simultaneously activate magic shields, preparing to respond to possible attacks."
Upon receiving the command, the intelligent robot legion immediately demonstrated their efficient and precise execution.
They quickly retreated, while the metal shells on their bodies began to flash with a blue cover of light, which was the sign of the magic shield activating.
At the same time,
Brian also used Spirit Eye
to elevate the territory's defense system to the highest level.
All level 4 intelligent robots on the city walls entered combat readiness.
The level 6 Magic Formations in the Mage Tower and castle also entered high-power mode,
ready to deal with any potential threats at any moment.
"creator, the magic power fluctuation within the cave is still continuously strengthening; it seems some powerful entity is awakening."
Spirit Eye's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
Brian nodded, then calmly issued his commands:
"Continue monitoring the magic power fluctuation within the cave. At the same time, dispatch 1,000 level 4 intelligent robots from the city walls to take flight.
Conduct a comprehensive search of the sea area around the cave to see if any clues can be found."
Spirit Eye immediately responded:
"Understood, creator. I will arrange it now."
Before long, 1,000 level 4 intelligent robots took to the air.
They hovered over the sea area around the cave like keen eyes, searching for any possible clues.
Brian did not remain in the study but instead went to the Mage Tower's war room.
In the war room, Brian's gaze was fixed on the real-time footage transmitted by Spirit Eye, his mind racing as he considered all possible scenarios.
Suddenly, an object shimmering with strange light in the footage caught his attention.
"Spirit Eye, zoom in on that object; see what it is."
Brian said immediately.
Spirit Eye quickly magnified the image; it was a magic crystal emanating a mysterious aura, surrounded by complex runes.
"creator, preliminary analysis suggests this magic crystal may be related to the magic power fluctuation within the cave, but its specific function is still unclear."
Spirit Eye reported.
After a moment of contemplation, Brian said:
"Have the searching intelligent robots approach cautiously, try to collect some samples for analysis, and continue to monitor the cave."
Spirit Eye followed the order, quickly relaying the command to the intelligent robots that were searching.
These intelligent robots, relying on their precise programming and advanced equipment,
cautiously approached the magic crystal emitting the mysterious aura.
Their movements were light and precise, each step calculated to avoid triggering unnecessary danger.
During the approach,
the intelligent robots continuously sent back detailed information about the magic crystal to Brian,
including its external features and the arrangement of the surrounding runes.
Brian, meanwhile, focused intently on this information, his mind rapidly analyzing all possibilities.
Once the intelligent robots successfully collected samples of the magic crystal, they swiftly returned to the territory with the samples.
At the same time, monitoring of the cave remained unrelaxed,
the intelligent robot legion constantly observed changes in the magic power fluctuation within the cave.
Upon receiving the samples, Brian immediately began his research.
He used his magic knowledge and various instruments
to meticulously analyze the samples.
As the research deepened,
he gradually discovered that this magic crystal seemed to contain an ancient and powerful magic force.
"This power... seems to be related to some kind of sealing magic."
Brian murmured to himself.
He continued to delve into the research, attempting to uncover the secrets behind the magic crystal.
At this moment, Spirit Eye's voice once again echoed in his mind:
"creator, new changes have appeared in the magic power fluctuation within the cave; it seems something is trying to break free from the cave's confines."
Brian's expression tightened, and he immediately used Spirit Eye to check the real-time situation within the cave.
Deep within the cave,
a more violent magic power fluctuation was churning and surging,
as if some colossal entity was about to burst out of the cave.
Brian quickly issued a command:
"Have all level 4 intelligent robots on the city walls enter first-level combat readiness, and simultaneously activate all defensive Magic Formations within the territory, preparing to respond to possible attacks."
Spirit Eye quickly responded:
"Understood, creator, the defense system has been fully activated."
As the command was issued, the territory's defense system quickly went into operation.
The level 4 intelligent robots on the city walls were neatly arrayed, their weapons ready to fire at any moment.
The level 6 Magic Formations in the Mage Tower and castle also emitted dazzling light,
forming solid barriers,
firmly protecting the territory within them.
At the same time, Brian continued to study the magic crystal samples in his hand.
He discovered that the arrangement of runes in the crystal was extremely similar to an ancient Magic Formation,
this Magic Formation was said to be capable of sealing powerful magic creatures or items.
Could something powerful be sealed within the cave?
Just as Brian was deep in thought, Spirit Eye's voice sounded again:
"creator, the entity in the cave is about to break through the seal. Please give instructions."
Brian's eyes turned cold:
"Have the intelligent robot legion and the level 4 intelligent robots on the city walls prepare for attack. Once the seal is broken, immediately launch an attack, making sure to intercept it outside the territory."
As Brian's command was issued,
the entire territory entered a state of high alert.
Everyone's gaze was fixed intently on the direction of the cave.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes,
the seal deep within the cave shattered with a roar,
a powerful and evil aura shot skyward.
A colossal magic creature, wreathed in black flames, suddenly burst out of the cave,
its eyes gleamed with an eerie red light,
and it let out a deafening roar.
"level 4 intelligent robot legion, command 1,000 intelligent robots to launch a probing attack!
magic guns in rapid-fire mode, attack in sequence!
Small magic missiles, one shot per probing attack!"
Brian gave the probing command without hesitation.
He wanted to conduct a practical test of the level 4 intelligent robots!
In an instant, 1,000 intelligent robots from the legion and the level 4 intelligent robots on the city walls launched their attacks simultaneously.
Laser beams and energy cannonballs rained down on the magic creature.
"creator, it's a Hellfire Demon! Energy strength is level 5, approaching level 6!"
Spirit Eye's voice sounded in Brian's ear.
Brian's mind stirred, and he quickly retrieved information about the Hellfire Demon from his memory.
This creature lived by burning hellfire,
not only possessing powerful physical attack capabilities,
but its spewed hellfire also had corrosive and mental pollution effects,
making it extremely troublesome to deal with.
However, using level 4 intelligent robots for long-range elimination was just right.
This Hellfire Demon was clearly extraordinarily powerful,
it was struck by the power of numerous laser beams and energy cannonballs, sending it flying backward,
and it crashed heavily to the ground.
But it quickly got back up,
letting out another furious roar,
the black flames on its body burning even more intensely.
"It seems creatures from hell are not simple."
Brian thought to himself.
"creator, this Hellfire Demon is estimated to be level 6,
but due to the seal, it cannot exert its full level 6 strength,
however, its body's toughness is still level 6."
Spirit Eye provided real-time analysis of the battle.
The intelligent robot legion continued to output damage,
their damage to the Hellfire Demon was not very high,
it would probably take at least 20 more rounds of attacks to eliminate the Hellfire Demon.
'Since it's a level 6 entity, I can't hold back.'
Brian thought.
"All level 4 intelligent robot legions, listen up! magic guns in 6-barrel simultaneous firing mode, magic missiles in full-power mode, attack!"
Brian ordered loudly.
Following Brian's command, the entire level 4 intelligent robot legion immediately attacked in full-power mode.
Each intelligent robot's magic gun instantly fired 6 magic rays,
and after a 1-second interval, another 6 magic rays were fired,
concentrating fire on the Hellfire Demon.
The small magic missile launchers on the rear shoulders of each intelligent robot
fired 4 small magic missiles from each side,
concentrating all firepower to launch a full assault on the magic creature.
Laser beams and energy cannonballs densely bombarded the magic creature, producing deafening explosions.
Under the powerful concentrated attack, the black flames on the Hellfire Demon's body gradually dimmed, and its struggles became increasingly weak.
Finally, with a reluctant roar, the Hellfire Demon fell to the ground, its aura gradually dissipating.
Seeing this, Brian let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems fighting a level 6 with level 4s is indeed difficult; an army of ten thousand intelligent robots had to unleash a full volley to take it down.
Although the Hellfire Demon was only a weakened level 6, it was still stronger than many level 6 entities in other worlds.
Therefore, the level 4 intelligent robot legion should have the ability to kill level 6 entities.
Brian felt relieved thinking about this.
Level 6? Demigod?
To my level 4 intelligent robot legion, it's just a walk in the park!
Of course, this is in comparison to other worlds.
In the Mage World, a level 5 Mage with a level 5 epic Mage Tower could take down this weakened level 6 demon.
Considering this, it's estimated that a level 4 intelligent robot legion can barely compare to a level 5 Mage with an epic Mage Tower.
After reaching this conclusion, Brian felt even more at ease.
