demon? !
Sauron's jumping figure stopped suddenly. He turned around and looked into the distance. The fire had gradually spread to the point where it was almost uncontrollable. He didn't have any detection spells, so he couldn't see what was going on behind him, but after hearing the shouts, he found that the troops of the City of Fortune were all gathering behind, and some priests appeared in a hurry. Priest Fortune, who had planned to stay out of it, finally took action to suppress this chaos.
"wrong!"
Sauron jumped onto the chimney, then frowned and said: "The devil doesn't have such a big hand! It's obvious that someone provoked and exacerbated the conflict! Could it be that there are still devils lurking here?!"
Only the devil can be so powerful.
This group of guys like to play tricks on people's hearts. If they take advantage of the opportunity of the appearance of the paladins, and use them with hints and other magical powers to provoke people from the dark camp and the gray field, then it will easily turn into a war in the end. The evil ones who are unwilling to stand still will unite to resist. Once they desperately resist, the scale of the battle will escalate, and others may be involved in it, and finally it will completely turn into a chaotic killing.
"Where is the legend?!"
Sauron stood looking at the whole city from a high place, and murmured: "Why haven't the legendary professionals made a move yet? Could it be that they let things evolve to such a point?"
"What about the Silver Hand?"
"He's not a fool! Where is he now?"
Riots are spreading.
The city legion met the summoned demons, and these summoned demons were still summoning more demons. A berserker demon found dozens of cowards with a spell-like ability. A four-armed snake demon with a professional level of more than four ranks that is close to legend rampages. The snake parade moves at an astonishing speed. Four giant swords slash across the sky. Nobody can stop it!
The creature level of the four-armed snake demon is 18, which is already a demon above the middle level.
Advanced Two-Weapon Fighting, Advanced Multi-Attack, Powerful Cleave, Powerful Slam, Medium Spell Resistance, Medium Damage Reduction, Poison Immunity, High Acid Resistance, Offensive Expertise, Combat Reflexes!
A series of special abilities make the four-armed snake demon so dangerous that it is simply a highly mobile killing machine!
Sauron stopped advancing.
Things have started to get out of control and it's become very dangerous here.
…
Boom boom boom!
Sauron's figure suddenly shook, and he almost fell off the roof. His heartbeat started to speed up inexplicably, and the heart rate increased by half compared to before. The heart squeezed blood and rushed all over his body, exposing his blood vessels directly to the skin. The feeling that had happened before resurfaced again. Sauron's body temperature increased little by little, a little bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and his pupils showed obvious signs of dilation. This feeling lasted for about three minutes, and then Sauron's state gradually recovered.
"Vivian!?"
Sauron seemed to sense something, and murmured, "She's here too?!"
There was a cry from the alley ahead.
Sauron frowned and looked around, then landed gently, and glanced over there. This glance made him take half a step back, and then reached out to hold the scimitar, because in front of him was a young paladin. The opponent was wearing silver-white knight armor, with some faint scars, a faint holy power surrounding the blade, and drops of blood slipping down. The young paladin didn't seem to notice Sauron, his body trembled a little, he stuck his long sword on the ground, and stretched out his hands to hug a petite corpse as if trembling.
It was a little girl who was at most ten years old.
She was a victim of this chaos, an innocent and poor little girl, who just died in this chaos.
Faint crying came.
The young paladin tremblingly picked up the little girl's body, his eyes were already dazed, his face was full of remorse and powerlessness, he let out a suppressed and silent roar, and murmured in a mournful voice: "Why is this happening! … "
"Why did it become like this?!... Aren't we defending justice?... Why did so many people die!..."
"Why!!!"
Tears fell drop by drop, and the paladin in front of him cried like a child with broken hopes.
Maybe he really wasn't that old, judging from his appearance, he was only twenty years old at most, this paladin Sauron had a slight impression that he was the young paladin who spoke first during the day. At this moment, the radiance of the holy power on his body was already swaying, flickering like a candle, as if it might go out at any time. His belief has been shaken, and if he cannot strengthen his belief, then he will lose the power of a paladin and become an ordinary warrior.
His faith was close to breaking.
He didn't understand why things turned out like this, he didn't understand why so many people were killed, and he cried like a child.
Because he is just a young paladin.
He may be kind-hearted, he may be full of blood, but he is still too young.
He was crying, not weak, but sad.
He may not be afraid of bloodshed, evil, or death, but he is afraid of everything he sees in front of him. All this happened because of them, because their actions of upholding justice set off a war of killing, and the whole city All fell into chaos and many innocent people lost their lives in this war.
He lost his way, he didn't know whether the justice he firmly believed in was justice or not!
Sauron fell silent.
The brilliance of the young paladin's body became increasingly dim, and he was about to lose the power brought by his faith. The holy power was moving away from this young man, because his heart was full of confusion.
"Because you're not strong enough!"
Sauron suddenly spoke, and he woke up the paladin in front of him, but the paladin didn't pick up his weapon, but just stared at him with blank eyes, still holding the little girl's body.
Sauron looked at him with pity, and slowly said: "Because you are too weak. You have no ability to destroy evil, but you have provoked a war between justice and evil!..."
"Your ignorant actions will only bring killing and death, and will only disrupt order and kill more innocent people."
"What do you use to fight against evil? You are not as powerful as the devil! You are not as cunning as the devil! Those evil people have countless insidious and cunning methods. Unless your power can completely crush them, the justice you have always believed in is just a joke! Fallen The traitors used you to provoke wars, they achieved their goals, but you have been burdened with sins!... "
The radiance faded from the young paladin.
There was endless pain and regret in his eyes, and he tightly hugged the body of the little girl in his arms, and let out an angry roar.
The young man lost his paladin powers.
A strange light appeared in Sauron's eyes. He stared at the young man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "You are not strong enough, nor cunning enough. You don't even know what evil is. What do you use to protect justice?"
"If you are strong enough, stronger than legends, you can stop everything that happened tonight, and wipe out those fallen ones like hell."
"If you are cunning enough and more cunning than the devil, you can use other means to destroy them. They have no chance to weave conspiracy, let alone stir up chaos and killing."
"You're just a pathetic puppet, an idiot who thinks that believing in justice in his heart can change the world."
"You're only making the world a worse place!"
A sentence pierced his heart like a sharp blade, and the young paladin trembled. He seemed to be struggling, but he gradually understood something. The silver-white armor on his body gradually dimmed, and the holy power on the sword of the knight next to him dissipated. Gradually, a strange aura emerged. He stretched out his palm and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, whispering in a hoarse voice: "As long as I am stronger and cunning than them, can I destroy them?"
Sauron's expression was rather playful, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"This is just the beginning of chaos, and the world will become even worse in the future! You can't do anything without power. Give up those sad creeds. If you really believe in justice, then you must fall into evil."
"Only evil can fight evil!"
"Go and find your own path. Young man. There is a group of beings called [Holy Avengers], and they will show you the way!..."
Sauron's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a young man who had lost the power of a paladin. He slowly picked up the little girl's cold body, and then pulled out the long sword that had a strange aura. The paladin The power doesn't seem to disappear, but has just transformed into another kind of power. He turned around and walked into the darkness. The silver-white armor became mottled in the darkness. The original holy power was lost due to the dissipation of faith. The darkness shrouded the silver-white armor, which might make him degenerate into an evil black guard. , and possibly lead him to find new justice.
He has fallen.
But there doesn't seem to be a fall either.
This is a war of faith and will, and there is no blood in this war. If he wins, he will be a legend in the future. If he loses, he will lose himself.
This is the paladin that Sauron wants to see, and it is also the paladin who fought on the front line back then.
Three million paladins supported the backbone of the world. They failed to change the world, but they also prevented the gods from smashing the world into pieces.
Welcome to Lawful Evil.
You should be qualified to become—[Holy Avenger]!
Maybe the glory of the paladin will never appear in this world again, but Sauron hopes to see the figure of the holy avenger in the turbulent years.
They should show up too.
Good and evil are not that important, chaos is the real disaster!
