This 80% figure is actually a precautionary measure.
In reality, only 60% of the magic power would be needed to truly achieve the effect of covering the lord's mansion.
After all, there are still so many high-magic-power demons of level 19 or above amplifying the [veil].
Having witnessed the test, the demons who participated in it, led by Klein, left the black mist.
The heroes continued to visit the reading room, while the demons continued their observations and research.
"It's about to start."
Sitting opposite An Yi, Milai suddenly spoke up.
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
Once all heroes reach level 460, the all-out attack on the lord's manor will begin!
Chapter 96 I am, Ereph of the Angry Winds (4k)
The fifth day of the first week of the fifth month of the second year since the birth of the Holy Hero.
Nearly ten days have passed since Arya bought several dwarves from a slave market in a certain earl's city.
She didn't let the dwarves linger in the city, but instead settled them temporarily. While they rested and replenished their strength, she quickly rode off to inform the hero closest to their activity area.
Then, let the highly agile warriors lead the dwarves away from the Earl's Domain and towards human territory.
The dwarf initially harbored many doubts, but he quickly dismissed them.
Who cares about him?
Wouldn't it be better if they just got out of the cage?
They only lost their hands, not that they were incapable of fighting back. Now that they have rested and replenished their strength, they are ready to fight!
At this point, the heroes still had no idea what kind of seven monsters Arya had rescued.
These seven dwarfs are several levels stronger than the strongest Saintess Squad in the entire world of heroes.
Even a level 20 demon lord could be killed with a single slap.
Oh, I should say... kick him to death.
However, as the heroes continued their journey with the seven dwarves, they discovered that their speed was in no way inferior to that of a highly agile hero with a speed of over 100.
So far, there are only a few warriors whose agility can reach 200, so these dwarves were surprisingly able to keep up with the warriors.
Most importantly;
They displayed incredible endurance while traveling!
They look bulky and give the impression that they would get tired after running a few steps, but in reality, while highly agile warriors often need to eat to restore their strength, they can run for an entire day or night without needing to eat.
Of course, they still need to drink water, but that's already incredibly difficult.
It wasn't just the heroes who discovered the power of the dwarves.
The dwarves followed this unknown intelligent race and also discovered something strange about the heroes.
First of all, they weren't surprised that someone could run faster than them.
Dwarves are not particularly agile; they are known for their great strength, resilience, and endurance in long battles.
What surprised them first was the food the heroes were eating.
Even though many of the foods were smaller than their fists, they could clearly feel their strength recovering at an extremely fast rate once they put them in their mouths.
It's like being completely exhausted, but eating a bite of the heroes' food makes you feel like you can run for hours again. (Eight)
A few more bites and I'm back to peak condition. Lunch
They simply didn't know that the food consumed by the seven dwarves was enough to supply dozens of warriors.
Fortunately, Aria hadn't run too far and quickly returned to the [Chaotic Demon's] activity area; otherwise, the highly agile warriors wouldn't have had enough food.
They have great endurance, expend a lot of energy, and naturally eat a lot. (Six)
Once back in the area where the [Chaos Demon] event took place, obtaining supplies became easy, and then it was time to head towards human territory.
Besides the food the heroes consumed, the dwarves also discovered that as long as there was sufficient food, the heroes could move without rest or sleep.
Even with the dwarves' great endurance, going three days and two nights without sleep is already their limit.
But the heroes seem to never get tired.
They only need food to restore their strength, but they don't need sleep at all.
Even back in the beginning, before they had even left the Earl's Domain where they had been rescued, they were so exhausted they were about to collapse to the ground, but the heroes remained vigilant around them.
When they woke up, the heroes were still awake, and they immediately continued their journey.
Only when they reach the area controlled by the [Chaos Demon] will the heroes noticeably go to rest.
However, it took four or five days just to get to the area controlled by the Chaotic Demon.
The warriors didn't sleep for a single moment during those four or five days.
The dwarves racked their brains but couldn't find a race that was so resilient in their memories.
Don't these monsters ever get any sleep?
Even demons need rest and sleep. Among all intelligent races, the more a race needs to use its brain, the more frequently it needs to sleep.
Even a powerful elf needs to sleep at night!
As for what race the heroes actually were, the dwarves never found the answer.
They communicated with the heroes in broken Elvish, asking them what race they were, and the heroes' answer was...
%#@&%¥
A race name that the dwarves had never heard of.
The concept of "human" does not exist in the Dwarven language at all.
Humans are already lucky to be able to use Elvish with an accent, and it's unclear where they even got that from.
Perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, a small number of elves came into contact with early humans.
However, given the vast difference in their strength, it's practically impossible for them to have much interaction.
If ancient humans had come into contact with spirits that could summon wind and rain, they would surely have regarded them as celestial gods.
Being able to look up to someone is already a luxury, let alone wanting to develop an equal relationship with them.
The elves' territory does not overlap with that of humans, and since humans are not even as strong as the lowest-ranking demons, it is difficult for the names given to humans by the elves to spread to the dwarves.
Perhaps dwarfs explored the world in ancient times, but human activity only occupies a small portion of the entire world.
The key point is that the humans at that time were no different from uncivilized wild monkeys, they were just struggling in resource-poor areas.
The dwarves explore the world primarily for minerals, so it's understandable that they weren't interested in these wild monkeys.
Then the problem is coming.
This race whose race name is unknown is incredibly fast!
None of the highly agile warriors moved slower than the dwarves.
What the dwarves were thinking was...
This world actually still has an intelligent race that hasn't been destroyed by the demons and can even contend with them?!
As they actually encountered more heroes, this sense of shock filled their minds even more.
Although this is the border region of the demon race, I didn't expect that these intelligent races are not only fighting against the demon race, but have also occupied many of the demon race's cities.
Within the areas controlled by the [Chaotic Demon], there will be heroes active in almost every city up to level 7! (Three'. ,∑—∧)
Even if the entire city is not inhabited by these intelligent races, there is no doubt that these intelligent races effectively control the entire city.
until……
They had truly arrived at the border of human territory.
The dwarves were a little confused when they saw the defensive line set up by the orcs.
Where is this place? There's such a long defensive line here.
For truly powerful demons, these defenses could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Yes, this is proof of the intelligent race's defense against the demons!
Immediately afterwards, they encountered the orcs, who were jokingly referred to as "barbarians" in the ancient circles of intelligent races.
The dwarves' minds suddenly went blank.
Orcs?! There are orcs here?!
Although they could be sensed to be far weaker than the orcs of ancient times, how could there still be orcs here?!
The orcs haven't been completely wiped out yet?!
The dwarves, who have lived since the war between the demons hundreds of years ago, couldn't help but shed tears when they saw the orcs' curious eyes. They usually called the orcs "barbarians".
They hadn't seen these "barbarians" for many years.
Images of orc warriors who had once fought alongside the dwarves flashed through their minds—scenes of fighting to the death, of laughing and drinking all night long. Back then, they could joke about each other's simple minds, but now all those images had vanished, the orcs almost completely forgotten...
They are not extinct yet!
They still have descendants living here!
Orcs are not extinct yet!
The beast-eared race is not extinct yet!
Continue forward, truly entering the human city walls and passing through the human city gates; 〇←^【∮〇⌒
The dwarves almost simultaneously collapsed or knelt on the ground.
On his aged face, marked by the passage of time, and in his deep-set eyes, lay a mixture of bewilderment, astonishment, and deep emotion.
Those walking on the road were all of the same intelligent race.
They are not an intelligent race of demons!!
