The sharp trident swept across the group of feather spirits, and stirred by that powerful force, the silver-white water suddenly stirred up into a frenzied vortex.
The abyss lord stopped, carefully examining his beloved weapon. The lingering flames left by the Balrog had been washed away without a trace, but the huge blade that was flowing with green flames was not injured at all.
"Hahaha, just as I expected." The devil let out a piercing laugh, and the stern voice pierced through the depths of people's souls. "Just relying on this enchantment, I can't stop my steps~!" The abyss lord Raising a hand towards the crowd, the dazzling blue light quickly condensed on the sharp claws, and the roaring lightning, like a jet of water, pierced through the barrier in front of him.
The danger without warning came like this before people realized it. The moment the lightning shot out, Xiu Yin realized that he was the target of the demon—the other party planned to get rid of the only mage here once and for all.
The chain lightning almost brushed past his eyebrows. If Xiu Yin hadn't cast a magic shield in advance, and the XOR Demon's blow hit him head-on, the distance would have been enough to turn him into a foul-smelling charcoal. Even so, the mage fell into a brief blackout.
"Xiu Yin~!" Ren immediately helped up his unconscious companion. At the same time, Katoli tacitly stood in front of the two of them, and blocked the second attack that followed with a thunderbolt. Chain Lightning. The shredded magic light then flowed around the entire enchantment, causing people's eyes and limbs to feel extremely stinging at the same time.
"No matter how small things struggle, the end they can get is nothing more than a more tragic death." There was vicious irony in the voice of the abyss lord. At this moment, three sharp arrows were buried deep in the right arm where he cast the lightning spell. Although Josephine's continuous shot failed to interrupt the opponent's spell, it caused a slight deviation in the direction of the spell's attack. The companion was able to escape from death.
However, the devil didn't seem to care about the failure of the first attack. He didn't even look at the ranger on the roof, and still laughed wantonly. And when the three feathered arrows were pulled out, the wound healed quickly at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
"The maker of this enchantment wants to let the power of the spirit world guard this place for a long time and stably, but for this reason, that stupid guy also had to simplify the magic circle itself." Wei Wei admired the distorted fearful expressions of the villagers, "Although it is still very effective against demons, it can only block the power from the twisting void~!"
"As long as you destroy the magic circle that summoned the feather essence, then you will have to let me handle it~!" The huge trident was drawn on the ground, and the hard stone road was immediately corroded, and white smoke came out. , Soon, an exquisite pentagram has begun to take shape.
"This is a serious problem." The mage who had just recovered walked up to the captain panting.
"What is that?" Katoli had an ominous premonition.
"Crimson Star Summoning. It is exactly the same as the spell used by the undead in the City of Flame." Xiu Yin's face was very pale, "Of course the power is not the same, but there is no problem in turning the Shrine of Spirits into ruins. Now we just It's like a living target."
"That is to say, this enchantment is helpless against spells. If you continue to stay in this enchantment, there is only one dead end, right?"
The mage nodded silently.
"It seems that the only way is to go out and get rid of him..." Ren concluded, drawing out his long sword at the same time, "To be honest, I have already begun to regret my original decision, if only I hadn't stayed in this village. "
"However, since we have decided to fight, there is no reason to back down." Katoli smiled and patted her companion on the shoulder. "Besides, there will be helpers coming soon. We still have hope."
"If that demon hunter can't reach the agreement..."
"Then we have to rely on ourselves to deal with this guy." The girl shrugged, "However, I believe he will definitely come."
Although the members of the garrison were very dissatisfied, they were still placed inside the barrier and were responsible for restraining the abyss lord with bows and arrows. In Katoli's words, instead of dying for honor, it is better to examine one's own strength and use it to make the most of it. Under the skillful command of the village chief, they quickly arranged an effective formation, watching every move of the demon at any time.
The silver light of magic glowed from the armors of Katoli and Ren. This time, Xiuyin added double anti-magic shields to himself and his companions. However, even with the support of high-level mages and the cover of nearly sixty warriors' bows and arrows behind them, they still approached the abyss lord who almost occupied their entire field of vision in the most cautious way.
Whether it is a paladin who acts as a vanguard, a ranger on a roof, a mage chanting incantations, or a soldier of the garrison holding a longbow tightly with sweaty palms, there is a question in everyone's heart: How can we survive? how long
The magic circle used to summon Red Star is about to be completed, as if the carved window lattice is laid flat, and a large piece of strangely shaped and ingeniously combined runes has been spread on the hard stone road at this moment. But before the last letter was engraved, the huge weapon stopped.
Katoli was standing right in front of the abyss lord, and she could reach it as long as she stretched out her trident.
"It's a very courageous move, or do you really think you can defeat me?" The flames in the devil's eyes shook imperceptibly, "No matter how hard humans try, it is absolutely impossible to defeat their own shadows, let alone strength alone. From the perspective of comparison, there is no suspense."
"What are you talking about?" the girl asked involuntarily.
"That's not important," the other party let out a piercing laugh, "you are lucky, because it is exactly what I want, so I won't let you die now. But none of the other weak creatures blocking me Not qualified to survive..."
'Because that's what I want'? Are these demons coming after me? This unimaginable possibility flashed through the girl's mind, but she had no room for further thinking. In the next moment, the halberd of the abyss lord was wrapped in the strong wind and stabbed head-on.
The opponent can't wait to start attacking.
Although she was only seventeen years old, Katoli had already experienced countless battles, and each time she relied on her own strength to win. At this moment, all the training he has experienced in the past seven years has been unconsciously integrated into the battle in front of him. Defense against spells, shield strikes, cross cuts, and all available fighting methods were awakened by her young and tense body. The girl is like a light swallow, shuttling left and right in the white light of the sharp blade, and patiently waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.
Ren, who was wearing a full-body armor, was relatively slow. He could only resist the attack from the devil. Soon, the paladin's hands were paralyzed. As the battle time went on, the paralysis gradually turned into piercing heart. The pain—the skin that couldn't bear the violent friction has cracked, and blood is gurgling from his tiger's mouth. However, no matter how hard Ryan tried, he still couldn't get around the flanks, and the seven-meter-long trident blocked all gaps.
Facing the two of them was always the ugly and flawless front of the abyss lord. As time went by, their little physical strength was being drained little by little, but the assistance from their companions always seemed pale and powerless.
Josephine's sharp arrows couldn't pierce the demon's armor thicker than a large dictionary, but once it hit his head, the pair of hard wings stretched out at a faster speed like a shield with eyes. Cut off all the silver traces. And just protecting his companions from magic attacks took all of Xiu Yin's energy.
This is a tough battle like never before.
The devil's halberd swept across again, Ren winked at Katoli, and then rushed to attack head-on. Regardless of his bloodied hands, the paladin slashed at the thick halberd with all his strength. Under the shock of a huge force, Ren was knocked out like a kite with a broken string, but at the same time, the sharp blade that couldn't hold back was also inserted into the ground.
opportunity~! Katori gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to save her companion, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, stepped forward on the slender halberd. The abyss lord who reacted immediately let go of his weapon and freed his hand to cast lightning, but was shattered by the opponent's magic round shield again. The girl has broken through all the opponent's defenses, and at this moment, the head radiating flames is right in front of her eyes.
It's over~! Katoli leaped high, and slashed down with a smooth gesture of raising the sword.
But in the next moment, the girl's eyes suddenly became lax. The pit lord closed her short sword between her teeth, and the fatal blow was stopped.
Not only that, the attacker's situation has also become extremely dangerous - Katoli can only hang from her dagger with one hand, she has lost any way to escape or protect herself.
"It's over..." The abyss lord squeezed out the words between his teeth, then pulled out the trident with his right hand, and grabbed Katori with his left hand. The heavy oppression was transmitted to her whole body through the chain mail, and the girl's breathing suddenly became rapid.
will i die Am I going to die here? I don't want to die~! At that moment, Katoli couldn't even make a sound, and the sense of fear deprived her of the ability to think, making her brain go blank.
But before the girl lost consciousness, the sharp blade's cold light reflected in her pupils, refocusing her collapsed eyes.
Roland pounced on the abyss lord from the roof at the back, and the edge of Frost Lament was very clear in those emerald eyes. The demon with keen senses immediately twisted his waist at a speed disproportionate to his body, and swept out a blow with his backhand. But even so, it still couldn't stop the sudden attack.
The demon hunter's great sword penetrated the hand holding Katoli, and the sharp blade quickly tore out a terrifying huge wound, and cut off the demon's four fingers along the way. The abyss lord who tasted the pain for the first time roared violently, and threw the two of them to the ground in front of him.
The unimaginable impact made Katoli feel suffocated, but after being thrown at high speed like a stone, she didn't smash into meatloaf on the ground, and she didn't even feel any pain.
Roland landed steadily with the girl, and quickly put on a defensive posture: "Are you all right? Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay..." Katori's legs were trembling constantly, she had to grab the other's clothes, otherwise she might fall limp to the ground.
"Leave it to me now." The corners of the young witcher's mouth raised slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I can still fight~! Don't underestimate people~!" Although her head was still spinning, the girl retorted loudly. Before Roland had time to answer, the roar of the abyss lord sounded again.
"Stupid thing~! How dare you hurt me~! You trash, how dare you hurt me~!" The demon waved his injured left hand furiously, and thick green flames were constantly gushing out from the wound. The innate resilience made the four fingers miraculously grow again, but the pain was burned deep into his mind.
"Unforgivable~!" The abyss lord inserted the trident into the house beside him, lifted the entire roof, and then slammed at the two people in front of him. Under the deafening bang, countless gravels burst open like sparks, stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
"Katori~!" Ren shouted hoarsely, who had just stood up, with a hint of despair in his eyes.
Regardless of the pain in his body, the paladin crazily rushed into the smoke filled with the breath of death. But he soon breathed a sigh of relief, and in his unclear field of vision, two standing figures appeared vaguely—it seemed that Katori was safe and sound. And the blond man holding the big sword high was obviously the demon hunter she mentioned.
As the dust gradually dissipated, a gradually clearer scene was reflected in Ren's pupils: under the squeeze of a huge force, the entire roof was deeply embedded in the ground, and countless spiderweb-like cracks radiated in all directions. . However, at the section where the witcher and Katoli were located, not a single stone fell—the sharp and huge weapon in the swordsman's hand split the roof in half, and the incision was as smooth as a wash.
This kind of thing... is really human power? Even in a dangerous situation, the paladin still couldn't restrain his surprise. The mouth that was originally tightly pursed opened involuntarily.
"If it's a companion, take her to the back as soon as possible." Roland turned his head and said to the dazed young man, Frost's wide sword was still pointing at the abyss lord vigilantly.
"Wait a minute..." Katoli didn't let go of Roland's sleeve.
"An excellent fighter should be able to find a position that suits him in a fierce battle." The demon hunter just looked into the opponent's eyes calmly, "This is my experience, what do you think?"
A hesitant expression appeared on Katoli's face, and Ren, who saw everything in his eyes, immediately set up the girl and retreated into the barrier: "We can take a rest first, and then assist the attack from the flank." Whisper advice in the ear. Seeing the worried eyes of her companion, Katori forced a smile and nodded at the same time.
At the same time, Roland rushed towards the huge demon again, and the sound of violent metal collisions sounded from behind the two of them.
Frost Lament in his hand faithfully poured every ounce of his master's strength onto the blade. However, the defense built by the trident was like an iron wall, blocking all Roland's attacks. Not only that, but the chain of lightning that will appear in front of you at any time is also very tricky. Once the death knight approaches the devil, the lightning that turns into a silver whip will continuously gush out from the fingers of the abyss lord, forcing him back to the most suitable place again. Within the distance of the halberd clash.
But the abyss lord also couldn't change the confrontational situation. The opponent in front of him was obviously just a small human being, but the demon's keen intuition sensed another kind of power in the enemy's body... that was the same as himself, the power from the Netherworld. It was that kind of power that gave him the ability to compete with himself. At this moment, the strong tremors transmitted through the body of the trident forced the abyss lord to use all his strength to deal with the chopping and thrusting of the heavy sword, and at the same time Concentrate on casting lightning spells.
After several tentative confrontations, the demon finally got a chance to attack with all its strength. The cold light of the weapon swept out immediately. Although Roland's strength was extraordinary, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of size. As long as the angle is correct, the lord is confident that he can be knocked away with one blow.
However, what resounded in the next instant was not the crisp sound of metal collisions. A thick wall of ice suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the two opponents. Accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, the sharp halberd cut through the solid ice on its trajectory in the blink of an eye, and the countless fragments stirred up were quickly swallowed by the scorching green flames. But the pit lord's attack fell short - a moment of stagnation was enough for the witcher to dodge the blow.
"Leave the defense to me~!" The mage's voice came from behind Roland, and the blond swordsman nodded.
And when the demon focuses all his attention on the dangerous death knight, the wing's reaction speed is much slower, and the ranger's arrow feathers are therefore more and more threatening.
After several rounds, Josephine's sharp arrow finally penetrated the gap in the defense and hit the head of the abyss lord. In the next moment, the pair of huge fleshy wings flapped aimlessly, and brought up strong winds. Green flames overflowed from the eyeless pupils again, like a flood that broke a bank.
Obviously, the demon has fallen into a state of rage again, and judging from his assault posture, he has obviously given up his cautious fighting style and intends to eliminate the few humans in front of him at once. The dangerous breath quickly swept across the entire battlefield with the strong wind, the silver arrows deviated from the direction one after another, and the light of magic dimmed in an instant.
A demon in anger is something no one would want to encounter. In the previous battle, the enraged Balrog was not afraid of the demon hunter's attack. Even though Frost Lament left countless scars on its body, the flame knife's light still did not weaken. Conversely, the more wounds the Balrog has, the more powerful his attacks will be. Only when Roland ignored the burning of the flames and buried the great sword in its chest, did the roaring nightmare turn into countless ashes and disperse.
The abyss lord in front of him is obviously more dangerous than the Balrog... Is it possible to defeat him? Even in his heyday, Roland couldn't make a conclusion that he could easily kill such an opponent, let alone now that he hadn't drawn his sword for seven years.
However, since even the new generation of paladins dare to face such danger... then I have no reason to back down~! For some reason, the firmness contained in the girl's eyes made the death knight's quiet soul feel the excitement of fighting again.
"Come on, this time I will definitely drive you out of the world~!" Frost Lament met the sharp yell of the long halberd again from the front.
Under the treatment of the holy light technique, the burns on Katoli's body have basically healed, but the feeling of numbness in the limbs has not been eliminated. The girl was swinging her arms vigorously, trying to restore her usual sensitivity as quickly as possible. And the companions around him were unknowingly attracted by the fierce battle.
"It's simply a confrontation between two monsters..." Ren expressed his feelings intuitively. The surrounding villagers all nodded in agreement, while more still watched with their mouths wide open, as if they had completely forgotten the danger just now.
That swordsman not only cut the entire roof in two like a cake, but also possessed the power to cut head-on with the abyss lord~! The long and heavy sword in his hand has a faster speed than a long sword, and it is currently attacking every vital point of the demon under the control of its master. The paladin couldn't help guessing: If he was standing opposite the demon hunter, how many rounds could he last
"That man is really powerful." Katoli walked to Ren's side, on the edge of the enchantment.
"Although the demon hunter is a rare profession, I still can't imagine how he can do that?" The other party shook his head in disbelief.
The girl shrugged her shoulders as an answer, and then stared intently at the graceful figure wielding a big sword. The two huge weapons bit each other fiercely, splashing out a large amount of brilliant sparks, making those emerald eyes get lost in it.
The fear of being caught by the abyss lord just now still lingered in the girl's heart, and she subconsciously hugged herself tightly with her arms.
Under such circumstances, everyone needs to rely on something that can be at ease against the unknown darkness... But why can he do that? When no one can move forward, the sword can swing powerfully and cut a path of survival. That look... It's not so much that he is absolutely confident that he can win, it's better to say that he has no fear of death. Not only powerful, but also fearless, is this the attitude of a demon hunter
I want to fight with him...
"I want to fight with him." Katoli unconsciously said what was in her heart.
"You have just recovered from your injury. If you want to fight, I will go!" Ren replied without knowing it.
"It's not in the way anymore," the girl clenched the short sword in her hand, "although the current situation is evenly matched, but with this style of play, he will soon feel tired, we must join the battle, the sooner we join , the greater the chance of winning.”
"If this is the case, there is no other way... But Katoli must not force herself~!" Although he was dissatisfied, he really couldn't find any reason to refute.
The two left the shelter of the barrier again, and rushed towards the huge abyss lord. But this time, the inner fear has been swept away.
The attack of the abyss lord destroyed most of the surrounding buildings. The houses on both sides of the street were either torn off the top floor or cut in half. And under the kind of sweep aimed at knocking the opponent into the air, Roland also had to try his best to avoid frontal resistance, and the advantage fell to the demon's side again.
The opponent launched a large-scale lateral attack, which was not very fast, and the demon hunter had enough time to retreat. But soon, Roland discovered his mistake—the target of the abyss lord this time was not himself—taking advantage of the widening gap between the two sides, the demon once again raised a whole piece of roof, and shot towards the direction of the arrow feathers Smashed it. The seemingly savage attack was accurately calculated. After the huge object crossed a parabola, it just crushed the house where the Ranger was. Josephine's figure immediately disappeared into the smoke.
The demon let out a piercing roar, and then pointed the halberd at Roland.
But this time, the death knight, who sensed a certain opportunity, put on a positive resistance posture. The abyss lord seized this opportunity and launched a violent charge. There was no magic to stop him along the way—in fact, even if Xiuyin made a few more ice walls, they could not resist the impact of this force at all.
The trident hit the demon hunter's great sword accurately, and continued to charge without hesitation. The powerful horizontal slash caused the halberd to penetrate into the house next to the street from the left, and then pass through the wall on the right. The building that was cut in half immediately collapsed, and during the whole process, Roland was hanging on the tip of the long weapon with his man and sword.
When the opponent withdrew the halberd, the blond swordsman fell limply to the ground.
"Human beings are always garbage. How does it feel to have your bones shattered?" The abyss lord looked at his victory with satisfaction, "I'll make you into a meatloaf right away~!" Before the words finished, the trident swung round again cut off.
However, to the devil's surprise, the bloodthirsty edge stopped a few inches away from the opponent's body—Roland's great sword blocked the blow, and the tremor of twisted metal was transmitted along the body of the halberd to the abyss lord's whole body .
"The timing is good." Roland said calmly, not wanting to look like his whole body was broken.
In the next moment, Katori, who came into the air with the help of the levitation technique, landed lightly on the demon's back like a swallow, and the magic dagger in her hand immediately sank into the ugly head. The abyss lord couldn't laugh anymore, he let out a painful and mournful roar, subconsciously dropped his weapon with both hands, and waved it wildly. Katoli immediately lowered her body to avoid the aimless attack, but the narrow and impossible position made the situation more dangerous.
"Cut off his hand~!" Roland stood up and shouted at the mage. Two sharp wind blades came out immediately, and after losing the only hands that could be used to fight back, the mad abyss lord desperately slammed his body into a side building in order to get rid of the enemies on him.
The death knight's brows were knit together, and he ran without saying a word, following behind the demon that was charging around like a mad cow. The huge body destroyed one house after another along the way, but the speed of movement was never lower than that of the demon hunter. The only thing Roland could do was to keep the other party out of his sight.
Josephine's forehead was covered with blood, and her long brown hair was also soaked in redness, but the ranger didn't care about it at all. His eyes swept over the village that had been plowed into ruins by the devil, eagerly searching for it. In the end, the runaway abyss lord and Katori who was still on his back were finally captured.
"Send me to the roof over there, where I can accurately snipe." Josephine said to the mage in an unquestionable tone. Xiu Yin was not used to the behavior on the roof at all.
"Maybe there will be a teleportation error, in that case..."
"It doesn't matter if that's the case~! In short, it must be transmitted immediately, our captain won't last long." The ranger interrupted the other party's rebuttal, and he added softly, "Katoli must not make any mistakes, That's what I agreed with her..."
The mage who concentrated on chanting the mantra did not hear the words that were blown away by the strong wind.
The running speed of the abyss lord suddenly slowed down. Without conscious protection, the ranger easily shot four or five arrows in each leg of the opponent, while the ice wall built by the mage made the blindly running demon suddenly lose its balance. The bulky body finally fell to the ground.
Roland, who came from behind, stabbed down with the big sword fiercely, and Frost Lamented pierced through the armor in one stroke, and buried it directly in the chest of the abyss lord. Accompanied by the crackling sound of the devil's heart shattering, the mighty devil didn't even have time to make a final sound, it turned into a puff of thick smoke and dispersed, leaving behind only the huge heavily worn armor.
"It's over." Roland helped Katoli, who was dizzy, a trace of worry flashed across his water-colored pupils, "Are you okay?"
"Great, the village is saved." This was the girl's first words after the battle, and she showed a tired but sweet smile as she spoke.
My sword is valuable, and it is different from the death knight's sword of destruction.
