Chaotic battles unfolded in the ruins of the village.
Not long ago, the attackers considered themselves the guardians of the land and the people, the practitioners and spreaders of the Holy Light, and the warriors who maintained tradition and order, but now, they are just a group of hungry robbers on the verge of madness.
Hunger, it debilitates and brings death, but before it fully exerts its power, it can also make people go in another direction: madness and brutality.
Wright didn't know how many people were attacking. He only felt that every ruin around him, every fence outside the village, and even the grass and soil slopes in the distance were enemies. Frantic and even ecstatic shouts came from all directions, There wasn't even much humanity in that shout.
He is waving the melting sword in his hand, the blade glows hotly due to the surge of magic power, he is not a skilled swordsman, even his posture of waving the long sword is not much better than that of a commoner holding a pitchfork, But he is tall, strong, and powerful, and every swing of the long sword is enough to drive those hungry and crazy enemies far enough away. Between swinging the long sword, he clearly saw the ugly appearance of those attackers
They wore dirty and tattered armor and robes, their faces were stained with mud, some even had dried blood stains on their faces, their eyes were bloodshot and red, and the eyes were completely beast-like. Shouting and rushing towards the bonfire, towards the civilians, and even towards those Cecil soldiers who annihilated their entire army not long ago and were terrified. They have long lost reason and fear in their eyes, and only have food in their eyes. Only fire.
Countless attackers surged out from the darkness, and the Cecil soldiers on the scene used the cover to counterattack while covering the retreat of the civilians. The dazzling beams of scorching rays kept tearing apart one deadly flame after another in the darkness, but There are simply too many enemies.
A soldier threw a crystallized grenade with all his strength, and the grenade exploded violently on the other side of the bonfire. With the loud noise and strong flash of the explosion, several attackers were swept into the sky, and the enemy's offensive was thus slightly stalled. This devastating explosion left a terrifying enough impression in their hearts that they would instinctively fear even in their madness. However, their fear only lasted for a few seconds, and someone shouted loudly: "They are few! Don't be afraid, they are few!! Kill! Kill! They have something to eat! They have something to eat!"
Hunger and highly tense nerves made these people completely lose their minds. They almost bravely began to attack the temporary defense line composed of Cecil soldiers, and this completely chaotic and instinctive "tactic" turned out to be very effective: Cecil There are too few soldiers in Seoul, and there is no such kind of "sky fire explosion" that can wipe out thousands of people. Under their crazy impact, the defense line formed by Wright and his comrades can only retreat steadily.
A fully armed Cecil soldier is equivalent to a low-level transcendent, but there are more than one transcendent among the attackers in the night, Wright saw bright fireballs and charged swords flying and shining in the dark, he Swinging the long sword in his hand vigorously, he chopped a fireball flying in the air aside, and then took advantage of the situation to cut off the long sword stabbing from his side. But also because of this blow, he used too much force, The melting sword came out of his hand.
He staggered in the inertia, and a hair-raising cool wind hit from the back of his neck. He quickly crouched down, and then grabbed the assailant behind him with his backhand. Back out and go two steps.
Wright turned around quickly, and saw the attacker clearly. It was a knight in steel armor, and a tattered white burqa was worn outside the armor. Half of the cloak that had been torn long ago was hanging outside the burqa. , and in the knight's hand was a long sword emitting a faint white light.
Holy See Knight of the Holy Light Church.
When he saw the slight white light shining on the long sword, Wright's thoughts couldn't help but pause for a moment.
"Facing your fellow churchmen on the battlefield is not the same as breaking out in a brawl on a country street... Are you ready to face them?"
The knight holding the long sword didn't seem to expect that the big man in front of him would be so difficult after losing his weapon, but he reacted after a very brief shock, and then raised the long sword to bully him, the holy light on the blade Surging in the darkness, emitting enough heat to burn flesh and blood: "Go to hell!"
The scorching heat of the Holy Light awakened Wright. He contracted his muscles violently and turned sideways, narrowly dodging the blow to his chest. Then he stretched out his arms and grabbed the attacker's wrist, twisting hard to take the enemy away. weapons.
The holy radiance lit up from around the knight's wrist, instantly formed a steel barrier and bounced Wright's hand away, and then a dazzling radiance surged around the knight of the Holy See, and the whole person retreated at an incredible speed, and then he With a wave of the long sword, a shock wave formed by a holy light was released from the front of the long sword.
The bright arc of light hit the crumbling force field shield, and the scattered holy light turned into scorching light particles, leaving some burn marks on Wright's exposed skin. Wright used the force field shield's last cover, When the Holy See knight was stunned for a moment, he rushed forward and threw the knight to the ground like a tiger.
The Holy See knight struggled and roared angrily. The holy light continued to gather on him, making his strength rise steadily, but Wright was pressing down on the enemy's chest, with one hand on the opponent's neck, and the other Grabbing the enemy's wrist holding the sword, even though the scorching holy light on the opponent's body ablated his palm, he would not let go: "Why?!"
"I'll kill you!!" The Holy See knight roared, hot holy light gushed out from his long sword, and the scattered flames even burned Wright's shoulder, but Wright just grabbed the Holy See knight's wrist more forcefully , and even shattered the holy light barrier on the opponent's wrist: "Why?!"
The Holy See knight looked at the angry face in front of him in horror. He watched the opponent's flesh and blood being burned by the holy light, and watched the rune brilliance in the opponent's armor go out one after another under the overload, but what he felt The pressure he received continued to increase, and in panic, he yelled loudly: "What are you talking about!?"
"You bully the weak, plunder the innocent, you attack the civilians, and you are greedy! You have committed almost every crime in the sacred books!!" Wright completely crushed the holy light barrier on the wrist of the Holy See knight, and even crushed the opponent's Wrist, amidst the screams of the Holy See knight, he punched the opponent's face, "Why! Why are you heinous people still using the holy light!?"
He swung his second punch heavily, and the last bit of rune radiance in the magic guide terminal was completely extinguished as the enemy's blood splattered all over his body. His whole body was exposed to the high-intensity holy light erosion for a long time, and the protection of the magic guide weapon finally Overwhelmed, overloaded and ruined.
And just when Wright finally knocked out the Holy See knight in front of him, another enemy wearing a white burqa and holding a long sword of holy light rushed from behind him.
Wright felt the sound of the wind coming from behind his head, and felt the sting of the holy light burning his skin again, but he had no time to turn his head, he could only rush to the side at the fastest speed, and at this moment In an instant, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the person who attacked him was the second Holy See knight.
The second Holy See knight did not give Wright a chance to stand up again. Taking advantage of Wright's complete loss of balance and no way to dodge, he swung his sword again, but at this moment, a stone suddenly appeared not far away. flew out of the darkness.
This powerless stone hit the shoulder of the Holy See knight without causing any damage, but it slowed down the Holy See knight's sword for half a beat. The sword cut a bloody gash on Wright's face, and the latter took advantage of it. Taking this opportunity to turn over and get up.
Wright saw the person who threw the stone not far away, beside the entrance of the cellar, Emily was standing there blankly, still maintaining the posture of throwing the stone.
The Holy See knight roared angrily, and with a flick of the long sword, a blade of holy light passed through the darkness soundlessly, piercing through the little girl's chest.
Emily collapsed before Wright's eyes.
Anger, hatred, or something else... Wright didn't know what emotion came to his mind at this moment and occupied his thoughts. He only knew that this was something he had always followed the way of the Holy Light and worked hard to restrain. Temperance, he controls himself, he is tolerant, he controls his emotions all the time, but at this moment, his mind is finally filled with those emotions.
The anger and confusion that had accumulated for a long time were turned on at this moment.
He seemed to have forgotten the Holy See knight who was close at hand. At this moment, he only had the little girl who had fallen on the ground in his eyes. He rushed towards the entrance of the cellar and rushed in front of Emily.
The little girl had her last breath, she was breathing hard, the skin and flesh scorched by the blade of the holy light continued to crack during her breath, blood gushed out from the scorched wound, pulling her even more every second To death, Wright knelt in front of her, but after seeing the wound, he knew it was too late.
But the little girl just tried to open her eyes and looked at the big man in the dark.
She seemed to laugh, and Wright only heard a very faint sentence in his ears: "Big uncle, there is really a circle of light around you..."
The knight of the Holy See came behind Wright. He looked at this enemy who seemed to have lost his mind because of the death of a little girl mockingly, then raised his long sword high and swung it down mercilessly.
The long sword was wiped out in the collision of light and light.
He opened his eyes wide in fear, watching the tall "Cecile" stand up slowly, a layer of radiance that seemed to flow like liquid enveloped the whole body of the "Cecil", covering his body Armor, covering his skin, covering everything about him.
Just like light casting.
Wright opened his eyes, the holy light surged in his eyes, surged in the shocking wound on his face, he raised his light-cast arms, grabbed the neck of the Holy See knight, and bit by bit Lift it into the air, and slowly exert force.
The knight of the Holy See was struggling, and the scorching holy light made his flesh and blood start to emit smoke. In the fear of death, he widened his eyes and stared at Wright's eyes: "The Lord... curse you..."
"I-curs-curse-it!!"
Pure light burst out from the cracks in the armor of the Holy See knight. In this unprecedented clarity, the flesh and bones of the Holy See knight gasified instantly.
A tattered pair of armor and burqa were scattered all over the place.
