Twenty minutes passed in a flash, but for the retreaters, this time was long enough to be fatal. When the emerald forest of mirrors finally appeared on the snow-white horizon, two more ships in the team were already pulverized by the flames, and the remaining seven ships were gradually riddled with holes under the baptism of endless flames. The only thing that remains unchanged is the resolute and tenacious eyes of the soldiers of the star capital, which is a color that cannot be faded by the scalding heat, and it is also the proof and reliance of them daring to face the Scarlet King.
As the edge of the ice layer draws closer, the battle plan is also unfolding at the same time. Roland jumped out of the deck first, and the death knight stuck his body tightly to the outside of the ship's railing, and grabbed the railing with one hand. The other fighters followed suit, while the prayer man concentrated his energy and prepared to jump in an instant—how many people can there be? Surviving to fight Yanlong depends on whether the subsequent cooperation is tacit.
"Does the alliance have special training on collision accidents?" Roland glanced at the two paladins behind him and asked knowingly.
"Of course, there is absolutely no problem in this regard." Ren answered first, but there was doubt in his young voice that could not be dispelled in time.
"Don't be nervous, the snow below is much softer than that on the ice field, and the prayer technique will absorb most of the impact for us." The witcher smiled, "As long as you protect your head, you can use the roll to land smoothly Before the words were finished, Roland jumped out lightly, and a white wave suddenly bloomed on the snow field.
"Let's go down too." Katoli nodded to Ren, and the figures of the two disappeared into the vast snowy sea at the same time. Immediately afterwards, more people began to jump down, and when the last group of warriors got out of the magic ship, these pointed speedboats happened to drive out of the edge of the ice field and slammed into the tall jungle.
Losing the supporting force of the smooth ice surface, the speed of the hull dropped suddenly, but the huge inertia still pushed them to plow a wide gully on the surface, and the trees on both sides broke and fell. But before the behemoths could be stopped, a blast from Melukidik's high altitude turned the seven ships into seven pits of seething lava. The flames gushing out from it caused the nearby trees to burn violently, and the hot and dazzling heat spread in all directions, devouring everything that could be touched. The emerald green forest was soon soaked in the fiery red ocean, and then slowly began to sink.
In the next moment, the ashes flying in the air, the wreckage moaning in the fire, the billowing black smoke and the permeating red mist all disappeared, and the devastating wind swept them all away, leaving only the fragments chopped up by the magma in people's eyes. Earth and pulsating flames—the Crimson Lord has descended to the ground again, and as Liston predicted, he really likes to fight head-on.
And this preference may become the last chance for the fighters to win.
"You don't plan to run away again this time?" Yan Long looked at the demon hunter in front of him, and casually summoned a few fire snakes to attack, but before touching the death knight's body, some kind of invisible barrier killed him. They all went out.
From the point of view of a demon hunter, the Yanlong with its head held high is simply a mountain, and any of his attacks can easily knock him into the air, but now Roland has a reason why he must not retreat, so the only thing he can do The most important thing is to suppress the fear in your heart, and then make your tone as calm as possible: "Melukidick, we will not let you go any further~!"
"Very courageous answer. But do you really think that you can safely call me by my name without adding honorifics by wearing a few layers of 'Element Denial Shield'? It seems to be necessary. Add some... more exciting factors to this dance..." The Crimson King's tone was still frivolous, but his eyes flashed a completely disproportionate cruelty, and then, the sharp horns on Yanlong's forehead suddenly shot out. A thin but dazzling white line.
Roland's body dodged quickly before his consciousness could react. The moment the death knight lowered his head, he felt an extremely sharp blade passing over his head, and then a sharp buzzing sound filled his eardrums. The laser didn't stop right there when it fell into the air, but swept across the entire battlefield, engraving a huge zigzag pattern on the ground.
"What... what?" The witcher couldn't help turning his head back. The two prayers behind him still maintained surprised expressions, but their upper body slowly slipped off, and then fell to the ground quietly like that. Afterwards, on the trail of the silver thread passing by, more bodies began to split in half, and then slid down to the ground. During the whole process, none of the corpses shed even a drop of blood—because all the wounds had been completely carbonized by the high temperature.
"How about this move? It's completely irresistible with a defensive barrier of your density. By the way, it has a nice name—Cang Sickle."
"Where did you learn the bad idea of naming moves?" The death knight sneered coldly.
"I just want to provide convenience for the bard..." Yan Long was interrupted in the middle of his words, a figure wrapped in ice blue light suddenly appeared on the back of the Scarlet King, and then he swung his weapon violently, The flames protecting the body of the King of Elements suddenly faded in all directions like ripples under that blow.
"You ants are also planning to resist?" Melukidik turned his head sideways, staring at the dwarf on his back from the corner of his eyes. At this moment, Liston's whole body is covered in a faintly visible bright blue enchantment, and the giant ax in his hand is also emitting a biting coldness——The King's Ax Axe Slash contains powerful ice power, and now It couldn't be more suitable to deal with Yanlong.
"For the honor of Whitestone Hall~! Take my blow, you bastard~!" Liston slashed down with all his strength. At the same time as the sound, Melikidick also hummed in a low voice - the voice was very soft, but the attacker did not miss it.
It works~! Roland and Liston's eyes lit up at the same time.
This is a pre-planned battle plan. Compared with the high-intensity attack of Melukidik, the number of prayers is very insufficient, and there is no way to guarantee the safety of 1,500 people. Once the power is dispersed, not only the time that can be persisted is greatly shortened, but the strength of the barrier will also drop significantly. In this case, it is the best choice to concentrate power on a few key points on the battlefield. For this reason, the death knight acts as a bait, but the most dangerous job falls on Liston's head—he Move to the Crimson King at high speed through prayer to launch the most effective attack.
Now, this battle has been carried out smoothly. The prayer technique protects the dwarves from being burned by the flames, and the power of the Jingwang ax is enough to hurt the king of elements. As for whether the flame dragon can be repelled, it depends on whether the prayers can continue to maintain the barrier How long.
"It seems that this is probably a life-threatening battle?" Melukidik smiled, "It's just what I want." Accompanied by this majestic voice, the flames beside Liston suddenly burst into flames. , three Ifrits holding red long knives and two grinning Salamanders emerged from it, intending to tear this bold mortal to pieces. At the same time, the lava on the ground also regrouped into a large number of fire elements, and surrounded the soldiers of Star City from all directions.
"It doesn't matter if all the trash in the Nether Realm are dead, I can still summon servants from the Spirit Realm, so you can enjoy the hospitality of the Crimson King~!"
The frenzied cluster attack of the fire element caused heavy losses to the defenders. In addition, Melukidick often used the deadly "green scythe" with one blow. The battle had only started for half an hour, but the legion of the Star Capital had already lost more than 300 people. The number of people is several times more than the sum of the previous sacrifices.
If this continues, everyone will die, and so will I, and so will Katoli... When this thought came to Roland's mind, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Although he has made a good sacrifice from the beginning, what drives him is still the desire to survive when he is fighting with a sword. When I was in the Northland, I was also controlled by this strong feeling, so I was able to survive the desperate situation that ordinary people could not imagine, and finally became the master of Frost Lament, Olin of Ishutoli... But, just by wanting Can the belief in survival really defeat the almost invincible king of elements
The demon hunter once again turned his attention to the small piece of blue on the Crimson King's body. Against the backdrop of Melukidik's huge body, Liston, who was between the wings of the Flame Dragon, could not see clearly from this angle. The only thing Roland knew was The only thing is that the dwarves are still tenaciously chiseling the rock-like scales, while continuing the endless battle with the fire element.
It's too slow, can this attack scheme really work? It is impossible for the mighty Crimson King to have his weaknesses so easily discovered, maybe he has no so-called weaknesses at all~! If so, can we really win this battle? The death knight asked himself restlessly, but couldn't see the answer hidden in the flames.
For the true ending has been carefully concealed by the prudent Melukidick. In fact, the Crimson King is very aware of the outcome of this battle—no matter how hard the mortals try, they still have a dead end. If they attack with all their strength now, at least 90% of them will be reduced to ashes by the flames.
But Yan Long couldn't do that, because that kind of large-scale attack couldn't cause fatal damage to the prayers, and the only thing he wanted to kill were the prayers—only they could really hurt him. Once the battle line is completely collapsed now, I am afraid that the surviving prayers will immediately flee the battlefield and return to the star capital, right? In that case, a huge price would have to be paid when seizing Xuedaiquan, which Melukidick didn't want to see. Therefore, in order to keep the prayer man, he can only let the ants in front of him live for a while; in order to make people feel that there is a glimmer of hope, he can only let the dwarf on his back chop for a while, and at the same time pretend that he will be injured. look.
No one knew that what would greet them would be total annihilation.
People are the kind of animals that think everything will work out the way they want, so if they dig a hole beside the truth, they will jump in one by one, with a happy expression on their faces. Melukidik thought with emotion, the sharp horns on his forehead shot out a strong light again, and accurately cut five people in half - of course, one of them was a prayer man - this is the way the Crimson King fights, seemingly carelessly, But it can perfectly hide the purpose and destroy the target.
The twenty-third, Yan Long counted silently. There were fifty-three prayers participating in the battle, including the guardians, and about ten of them retreated to the star capital by boat. Therefore, there should be about forty on this battlefield. However, it will take a lot of time to find all the targets. Before that, he has no plans to kill.
The next moment, a petite figure was reflected in the burning eyes of the Crimson King, and his attention was immediately attracted.
It is indeed the kind of fluctuation just now, it seems that it is not my illusion~! Damn, so that girl is also a child of the star? No... The power contained in her body is pitifully small, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a residue, what is going on? The Crimson King ignored the dwarves' attacks again and again, but focused all his attention on the new target in the distance, and began to think hard. In the end, he burst into a burst of wild laughter, and the hot wind caused sparks to fly wildly in the air.
"So that's it, I finally understand." Yan Long's roar was mixed with complicated emotions.
That's right, the product left over from the intrigue between the goddesses, she is such an existence... Although what she has is only a very small amount of power, but I still accept it~!
Seeing the opponent's suddenly distorted expression, Roland's thinking froze for a moment, and before the death knight could react, Melukidick jumped up, passed over his head, and landed heavily on the other side of the battlefield . Those warriors who had no time to dodge all turned into magma under Yanlong's feet, and the dwarves lying on his back were also shocked by this unexpected jump.
What is this guy going to do? The death knight turned around, but the sight of the water-colored pupils made him feel suffocated.
Melukidick's target is none other than Katoli.
"I thought this was a messy ball, didn't I have a top-quality item? Miss, can you have dinner with me?" Yan Long gracefully bent his long neck, sized up his petite prey with those eyes that were oozing flames.
When a gigantic active volcano looms over the horizon and threatens to crush you at any moment, anyone can become a captive of fear. At that moment, Katoli could only look blankly at the Crimson King, her whole body was stiff and unable to move. After several seconds, the girl finally came back to her senses, and tried to raise her weapon at the incomparably huge opponent.
"Oh, it's so cute, are you going to use that to deal with me?" Melukidik tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no, no, the combination of a beautiful young girl and a bloodthirsty demon dagger It's too bad, I'd better help you change it~!" Under his call, dozens of fire snakes appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Katori.
The girl subconsciously resisted with the shield in her left hand. The Steel Shield and Thunder Bind are magical armors. Even the sword battle energy can't draw marks on it. Even if it can't completely resist the fire snake's attack, it can at least last until the companion arrives. This is the judgment of the paladin of. But under the continuous impact of the fire snake, the seemingly solid small round shield suddenly shattered into several pieces. The next moment, a slender laser shot out from the sharp horn of Yanlong, and after causing an ear-piercing resonance in the air, it landed on the dagger held by Katoli's right hand with incomparable precision. In the blink of an eye, the entire blade was incinerated at high temperature. The bottom melted, and in the end only the hilt of the sword remained in the girl's hand.
How can this be? Katoli stared at the remaining part of "Liu Li" with wide eyes in disbelief, and subconsciously muttered to herself: "Is this an illusion? Lightning weapons are absolutely impossible to damage... How is this possible?"
"Oh, I've heard that stupid statement. The guy who preaches this theory is probably a country mage? In fact, any weapon can be damaged—of course, including those with the title of the king of elemental spirits— As long as the force exerted on it is strong enough." Melukidick's voice suddenly dropped, and mixed with a wonderful sense of temptation, "My dear, there is no 'eternal' in this world... so there is nothing like Fun and fanaticism are more important~!"
A few frost-condensed giant eagles took advantage of the gap between Yanlong's preaching and swooped down, aiming at the eyes of the Crimson King, and four elf warriors who were moving like the wind also approached at the same time, intending to attack the enemy when they were attacked. Take the opportunity to rescue Katoli during interference. But the moment the ice vulture launched its attack, the hundreds of fire snakes summoned by Melukidik tore them all to pieces, and then, the laser light on the sharp horn shot out again—this time it was not a straight line , the light turned into a slender whip, powerfully drawn towards the swordsmen who were scattered around. The moment the silver light flew across the air, the three of them were immediately split in half. The fourth escaped by chance, but his feet were cut off, and the cut was scorched black.
"You guys are really ignorant, how did you learn etiquette and self-cultivation? Don't disturb other people's dates~!" Yan Long complained, and then turned his gaze back to Katori, "Don't worry my dear, I It will be very gentle... bear with it for a while and it won't hurt anymore. Don't be afraid, you should be happy to be a part of the great Scarlet King." The next moment, Yan Long opened his bloody mouth, intending to put the girl under her feet All the ground is eaten into the stomach.
"Catori~!" Ren discovered that the Crimson King was planning to swallow his captain alive, and he immediately rushed over desperately, ignoring the Salamanders attacking from both sides. But the moment the paladin started to run, his shoulders sank—a figure faster than the wind just passed by lightly, but when Ren noticed it, he had already disappeared from sight. Leaving a light blue track that is too late to take away.
Melukidick's attack was very quick, but for Katoli, her last moment seemed extremely long. The sound of clashing swords froze in the ears, Yanlong's movements were still in the eyes, the air no longer flowed, the body stopped moving, and even the burning flame turned into an unchanging neon color at this moment, only the consciousness was still awake—maybe more than Together with fear and pain, this is what death really feels like.
However, this frozen moment is broken by an alien force. No matter how quick the reaction is, when the attention is focused on one point, the surrounding changes will inevitably be neglected. Roland seized this moment, and before the scarlet king's blade-like teeth grabbed the girl, he slammed into Cato hard. Li, under the action of huge inertia, the two flew out at the same time, and what followed behind them was the scorching airflow produced by the bite of Yanlong's sharp teeth.
"Kaos...Kaos? Kaos~!" The girl who had escaped from the dead came back to her senses, but when her eyes touched the body of the demon hunter, her originally helpless expression suddenly turned pale. —The fragile headband has been burned off, and the half-burnt long golden hair is falling loosely on the shoulders. Melukidik's sharp teeth not only tore off Roland's left arm, but also crushed the prayer knot As a result, the left half of the death knight's body was covered with a shocking layer of scorched black, and his whole body also looked crumbling.
No, Kaos will be fine~! He's a death knight... Such burns should be fine, he won't just die like this~! Fear and Yanlong were left behind by the girl, Katoli repeated these few words as if to comfort herself, but her eyes became moist involuntarily.
I obviously betrayed you, why did I do this to this extent? If this goes on... I...
"You bastard~! Do you really think you can defeat me?" Melukidik's eyes flashed with murderous intent when he missed a hit. The only thing is to escape from the prey you want to eat. Now, being annoyed, he decided to use his most magnificent moves to turn this third person into ashes.
Roland could clearly feel the power of the noise in the air, and he wanted to raise Frost Lament to resist, at least maintain the dignity that a warrior should have, but his broken body knelt down on the ground involuntarily.
Is this... the end? A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the death knight's mouth, but the girl beside the witcher gently helped him up.
"Catori?" Roland was startled.
"I can't fight like you, but at least I can face death with you." The girl wiped the corners of her eyes and replied in a calm tone.
The next moment, Yanlong's violent roar swept across the entire forest, but what was contained in it was not anger, but uncontrollable pain. The mountain-like body suddenly vibrated violently, the earth groaned under the struggle of the Crimson King, the originally slowly flowing magma splashed around like a fountain, and Liston, who was still struggling with the fire element, flew away. Going out, the scorching hurricane howled and blew across the battlefield, and even the scenery reflected in people's pupils began to distort. As if a box condensing a certain force was opened, the entire space suddenly expanded under the huge pressure of the explosion, and the source of that force was the pained Melukidik.
When everything returned to calm, Roland was surprised to find that the flames on Yanlong's body were being extinguished in large swaths~! Losing the shroud of crimson light, coupled with the crimson king subconsciously curling up his body, the originally extremely oppressive body seemed to be a whole circle smaller.
"Blood... my blood~!" Melukidick muttered vaguely, and then spewed out a thick liquid substance from his mouth. This was the first time that the death knight - and everyone else present - saw the blood of the king of elements with his own eyes. It was as bright as molten gold, and it kept radiating intense flames around.
"He seems to have been seriously injured?" Katoli and Roland looked at each other.
"Great~! The Crimson King is finished, hurry up, everyone..." An orc warrior raised his giant ax and rushed over, but he disappeared halfway through his words, and the "green scythe" on the top of Yanlong's forehead lit up again. From then on, the dazzling laser pierced through the prey's heart without any delay. The precise and deadly attack brought the other people's actions to an abrupt halt, and Melukidik raised his head arrogantly again, but this time, his movements appeared slow and heavy.
"You cowards showing such sparkling eyes... It's really disgusting. Even if I become like this, ants like you still can't break any scales on my body~! Think I'm finished Do you want to defeat me? Stop dreaming~!" The Crimson King spoke coldly in a tone like a steel whip, but his arrogance could not hide his depression, and the subsequent violent cough made golden blood drip down the corner of his mouth.
I've planned for so long, and finally fell into this stupid trap~! It's all because of you guy~! Obviously, you can get everything you want if you just take one more step~! Those burning eyes stared fiercely at Roland, as if they wanted to burn the other person's body and soul with the hatred in his heart.
However, Yan Long knew very well that the current self even lost the power to cast curses. The star capital is located in the overlapping domain of the spiritual world and the present world, and at this moment, the pressure from the side of the present world is gradually increasing, and the flames all over the body have been extinguished due to the overdrawing of power. Not only that, Melukidick can even feel The originally indestructible scales are gradually cracking, and the originally powerful body is gradually dying.
If he continued to stay here, he might be reduced to ashes... Thinking of this, the Crimson King finally decided to succumb to the unpredictable doom. That huge body burst into brilliant light in an instant, and finally became a silhouette woven by flames.
"I will leave here, but don't think you have won... This is just the beginning. We will meet again, in the near future..." The venomous words spit out from the gradually blurred Hokage, and passed into Roland's ears , "I swear by the name of the master of flames, Melukidik, what awaits you at that time will not only be death, but also endless pain and fear~!"
The next moment, from the burning trees beside him to the crimson horizon in the sky, all the flames were summoned in an instant, they converged into a scalding hot stream, and then rushed towards the huge vortex under Yanlong's feet. The moment the last river of fire was sucked dry, the Crimson King also disappeared together. Melukidick took away all the fire elements when he left—on the entire battlefield, in people's field of vision, in the surrounding air, there wasn't even a small spark left, and the temperature dropped ten times as a result. several degrees.
"That's it... did you win? It's not a hallucination, is it?"
"The King of Elements really escaped?"
"Is that really Melukidick's blood?"
"I'm alive?"
"What's going on?"
The Crimson King's retreat came without warning, so that even the well-informed and experienced prayers seemed a little bewildered when inexplicable fate suddenly pulled people from the abyss of death to the summit of victory. At this moment, the fighters of the Star City have not had time to taste the ecstasy of the rest of their lives, and are more puzzled and puzzled.
But Roland didn't think it was a trick, because not only the visible flames disappeared, but also the power of fire that had been injected into the body just now had been completely removed. After the oppressive force of the King of Elements was lifted, he could clearly feel that the death knight's body was recovering rapidly, and the left arm that was bitten off also slowly began to grow again.
But... the recovery seems to be going much faster now than it has been in the past few months? Is it because of being suppressed for too long? The witcher was a little strange at first, but when he subconsciously stretched out his right hand in front of his eyes, the facts split Roland's thoughts like lightning.
Those were not human fingers with blood flowing, but fingers lingering with icy shards that belonged exclusively to the death knight. Roland's pupils ignited cold flames due to panic, and the cruel truth was revealed in an instant—Melugidek swallowed not only the death knight's left arm, but also the middle finger ring worn on it "Sincere Deceit".
Ishutori infused powerful power into the middle ring "Sincere Deceit". The shattering of the ring caused the power of God to rage uncontrollably. As a result, the mighty Crimson King suffered heavy losses, and the demon hunter Kaos also became a demon hunter. The phantom that disappeared into the air.
"That's... death, death knight? Kaos?" Ren's unbelievable voice floated from a distance from behind. The moment the girl turned around, Roland jumped up suddenly, jumping to a place five meters away from her place.
how so? Damn, it's too early to expose... I'm not ready to tell the truth~! What to do? The death knight showed a panicked expression which was rare, his eyes subconsciously avoiding Katoli's sight from the pupils of water-colored flames, and his only remaining right hand clenched the hilt of Frost's Grief.
What would Katoli think now? Will she decide to fight me? If she confronts her with a sword, what should I do now
As if time had frozen, the three of them stared at each other motionlessly for several seconds, and an uneasy atmosphere quickly grew in the air. The moment the girl made up her mind and was about to speak, Roland also moved—he didn't intend to explain anything, but started running towards the direction of the forest.
"That guy is a death knight~!" Ren stared and shouted, turning around to catch up with Roland. But at this moment, Katoli's hand knife accurately cut the back of his neck, and the paladin's body immediately fell limply, and when he was lightly supported by the girl, Ren passed out.
"I'm sorry, Ren..." The other party's tone was apologetic, but then she showed a firm expression. "Please take good care of him for me." The girl briefly explained to a prayer man next to her. Before the other party could answer, that petite figure had lightly passed through the crowd and merged into the green of the forest.
The two, one in front and one behind, started a long-distance chase in the dense jungle. Seeing Roland who lost his left arm struggling to run on the thorny path, Katoli felt a subtle distress, but on the other hand, the girl was very grateful—if it wasn't for the fact that the death knight had just been severely injured by the flame dragon , it is impossible for the current self to catch up with him no matter what
"Kaos, wait for me~! We have to talk~! Stop~!" The paladin's clear voice rang out, but the other party not only didn't make any response, but accelerated the speed of advance.
What~! I have been traveling together for five months, but now I ran away like a coward because my identity was exposed, am I terrible? Not only that, but he was completely unwilling to listen to other people's explanations... How could there be such a bad person~! ? Katoli's beautiful eyebrows frowned immediately, the girl thought quickly, and then decided to be tough—she threw the hilt of the sword in her hand at Roland.
Hearing the sound of wind coming from behind, the death knight immediately dodged to one side. Although he dodged the attack, he almost tripped over the wild vines. The imbalance problem caused by the loss of an arm was more serious than Roland imagined, but before he could think of a solution, Katoli threw the fragment of the shield over again, and the two consecutive attacks made the fugitive's situation extremely dangerous .
Now that's all that's left. The paladin pulled out the dagger from his waist, but the sharp blade made the girl hesitate: What if he really hurt him? Even though Kaos is a death knight...but...
"Hey, if you don't stop, I'm going to throw the knight's dagger~!" Katoli's voice sounded again, this time with a warning tone, but Roland didn't listen to the threat at all, so the pursuer Seeing the timing, he threw the dagger violently.
Completely different from the two previous scraps, the Knight Dagger is a weapon designed specifically for throwing, it flies very fast, and doesn't make any unnecessary noises. When the death knight sensed that the attack was coming, the dagger almost touched his right arm. Although he finally dodged it, Roland completely lost control of his body due to a large side jump, and then slammed into the side big tree. When the dizzy death knight finally stood up, the light girl was already standing firmly in front of him.
"Finally caught up with you, Kaos." Katoli said in a flat tone, her eyes as clear as water stared quietly at the silent Roland.
