Richard turned his head and saw a light door opened in the air, and a wrinkled old man stepped out from it, wearing a gray linen robe like an ascetic monk, but it was precisely the saint of flame. The temple was once the most holy, the Great Holy See Vala.
Vala glanced at the direction of the forest, squinted his eyes when he fell on the broken sword in Brando's hand, then he turned his head and looked at the four people in front of him.
A sacred and majestic breath instantly filled the air.
When exposed to this breath, Richard, Royale, Saipan, and Willek all changed slightly. They knew in their hearts that this person was already the number one master of the temple 40 years ago, and now it seems , The other party has already stepped on one foot into the last step in the forbidden zone of humans and gods-the pinnacle of extreme realm.
But Vala just stood still, and the gray area in the sky in the other direction receded backwards and receded like a tide, revealing the hidden figure behind him. It was a middle-aged man with a huge sword and white temples. , The appearance is not conspicuous, as if it has been weather-beaten, only vaguely seen from behind the crow's feet in the corner of his eyes, the once romantic suave.
But the aura that he exudes is extremely astonishing, silent and thick, and it is like facing a mountain. This person is not special just by his appearance, but the empires present still recognize this person at a glance-Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles.
"Mephistopheles." Richard said his name in a deep voice, his brows tucked, and his heart sank slightly. The other party was already in the mid-range of the extreme realm, and he was no match for the next one. I'm afraid that World War I will be even more difficult.
The forest suddenly fell silent due to the sudden appearance of the Great Holy See Vara and Mephistopheles. Only the sound of crackling and burning flames remained. The Knights of the Flames looked a little at a loss. On the one hand, they were at a loss. Some people were at a loss. Finally recognized the holy sword Odyssey, and on the other hand, it was because of Mephistopheles.
This "devil of the empire" is notorious in every Cruze's heart.
"The way of golden flames is not blindly converging," the silver queen's cold voice sounded again: "What are you confused about, is the king of flames leaving you with only promises? You should recognize the choices in your hearts and distinguish them. Which is right and wrong—"
"Your Majesty is right," Unexpectedly, Vala would agree with him: "You should have your own justice in your heart and dominate your own destiny. There is no eternal definition of right and wrong. The most important thing is the proposition and position in your heart."
"As the flame knights, you should understand the true meaning of the Golden Flame's Path. Therefore, you should be firmer than others. Your confusion at this moment can only humiliate the sages."
The knights suddenly felt ashamed, and they all drew out their swords and bowed to Vala to apologize, because next—
I'm afraid the two sides will fight on opposite sides.
"Great Holy See, thank you for your teachings."
"We will do our best."
Vala only smiled slightly.
The Silver Queen watched this scene with a frosty face on the other side of the crystal ball. The other party seemed to be helping her, but in fact, these words did not deviate from the definition of the way of golden flames, they just put aside whether they were correct or not. Discussing this issue actually denies the highest point she stands on.
The key is that seeds of resurgence were planted in the hearts of these knights. This is the true meaning of the Golden Flame's Tao. It does not succumb to the will of a certain individual, even including the supremacy of the temple.
Then she is a monarch in the secular sense, let alone.
"These goddamn fanatics."
She hated her heart, and her voice became more and more chilling: "Wala, it seems that you are determined to stand on the opposite side of the empire, and even stand with Mephistopheles, the notorious enemy of the empire. , Do you even abandon the dignity of the temple?"
Vala shook her head. "Your Majesty," he said, "I am here only for the holy sword."
The Silver Queen let out a sneer: "So what, do you know why the temple is split because of you, it is because you old and inflexible antiques always blindly place their hopes on the dead, can it be said that this is The belief of the Queen of Flames, the so-called way of golden flames?"
"That's not a dead thing, Your Majesty, that's the preference of the sages of the ancestors. Keep in mind that history is not about holding back, but because there is something worthy of our attention in the past."
"But what you haven't seen is that my ancestor, the King of Flame, Gilt, left to this world for a thousand years. It has long been abandoned by the world. The ancestors and sages hoped that this world would become like this, but today it has long since changed. It's a different look," the silver queen's voice disdainfully said: "The times have long been different, Valla, but you are stuck with the past."
It is not the first time that Vala and the Queen have argued about this issue, but like every previous dispute, it is destined to have no results.
Vala was silent and did not refute. The Silver Queen knew that she had reached their position and could not be persuaded by a few words. She sneered and secretly gave Richard a hands-on order.
Because they are not dominant on the scene now, the queen does not intend to give the other party a chance to delay any more time before mobilizing additional reinforcements.
She knew in her heart that there should still be a Sidney in the opponent's hand that hadn't appeared, and since Mephistopheles found Vala, they had no reason to let go of Moss. The guard in Moss was the guard tower. Yeah, he was once a student of Sidney. Although he was reliable in his loyalty, he certainly couldn't stop the opponent. Maybe he had already fallen by this time.
But she didn't care much about the other party's rescue of the nobles, after all, it was originally a bait.
Richard and Royale got a signal from Her Majesty at the same time, and looked back at each other. Among them, Royale and Vala are old acquaintances, so they are unwilling to face each other, and the rest of them Only Richard and Saipan have the strength to fight a battle. As for whether it is Willek or Bradley, they are in the first line, and they can only be regarded as the second-line level of the empire's extreme power.
After only hesitating for a moment, Richard, the leader of the Flame Warlord Knights, drew his sword out of its sheath. The blade of the empire’s first sword, "Steady Guard," was like a pool of silver light, and the bright blade blocked the others. After the three of them, he said to Royale and the others: "I'll stop Vara, and you will separate your hands to entangle Mephistopheles."
Now that the situation has developed, everyone has understood that it is already whimsical to leave the opponent behind at this time. The best choice is to find a way to change the balance of power on the field before Sidney arrives.
And among the opponent's three extreme combat power, Brando was the worst, so when Richard spoke, the others understood what he meant.
Among the three, the Archmage Royale was unwilling to bully the small with the big one. He shook a bitter smile and went directly to Mephistopheles not far away. With his five fingers swept away, it was an electric beam nearly a hundred meters long. The opponent hacked.
This is a series of lightning spells of the six-ring air system. Although Royer is a magical wizard, he is also able to capture this kind of'low-level' elemental spells, and he is known for his super magic skills. The spells below the seventh ring can be cast instantly. The prestige of the wizard is by no means an understatement.
But Royer’s strongest is actually magic countermeasures. His element, the realm of mirrors, can reflect all magical powers, and the title of No Light’s Return is precisely because of this, so he chose Mephistopheles as his opponent. In fact, he is already Choose to face the enemy at a disadvantage.
It seemed as if an electric dragon ran across the night sky, reflecting the forest near Hanlu Manor into a piece of white snow. However, Mephistopheles did not even make a sword in the face of this blow. He stretched out his hand and tore it to smash the dragon of lightning.
The sky is full of electric sparks.
However, Royale's attack only delayed time, and Mephistopheles just blocked the lightning, and felt that the space around him was folding. He raised his head and found that the space had been closed from bottom to top into a spherical space. Although the sky and the earth were still outside the spherical shape, there was a vague feeling separated by crystals.
He knew that this was Royer's open spell barrier, but it was not the paper-like barrier spell of ordinary wizards. The barriers of wizards above the extreme realm often contained their extreme realm. It is understandable to say that the power of "is a more varied extreme plain.
Mephistopheles understood the other party’s intentions in an instant, and he drew out his sword. At this time, Royale had already disappeared from his body—not the kind of invisibility technique that has no effect in the extreme realm. Spells, but truly leave the material world, hidden in the parallel dimension.
At the same time, two roaring flames instantly formed in the spherical space. If Brando were here, he would definitely recognize that this thing looked almost exactly the same as his fire giant, but its size was several times larger. The strength has also increased exponentially-this is the elder of the fire giant spirit.
As soon as the Elder Fire Giant was summoned by Royale, he immediately got instructions to roar and rush towards Mephistopheles. The Grey Sword Saint is not a novice who has not fought with wizards before, knowing that this thing is only used by the opponent to delay time. The means of using a more powerful spell, he didn't even think about it, and directly opened the Extreme Plain.
A gray world appeared behind Mephistopheles. It was like an endless and lifeless wilderness. Except for the endless gray, the horizon and the sky seemed to merge into one, but the Gray Sword Master called for the gray ground. Suddenly there appeared a piece of figure, they seemed to'grow' out of the gray world, they had no faces, they were only gray in color, holding long bows and swords, tens of millions of people stood in line, like a legion. .
Without the need for people to give orders, the gray silhouettes raised their longbows one by one, and shot forward. Thousands of gray arrows overwhelmed as if a storm passed by. The two elders of the fire giant were shot directly into hedgehogs and burst into countless pieces on the spot. flame.
While Mephistopheles held the giant sword motionless, the grey army rushed forward, following his grey domain spreading in all directions.
Royer, who was hiding in the parallel dimension, couldn't stand up immediately. Although he was not in the material world, why not the gray world of Mephistopheles? The space in the spherical enchantment is almost infinite, but his hiding place is limited. He has just met Mephistopheles and can’t leave it for thousands of miles. Therefore, when Mephistopheles' army moves, he immediately understands. The opponent grabbed his own weakness.
This enemy of the empire who has lived and died is indeed well-deserved. No wonder he was able to escape from the empire’s rounds up and down again and again, and continue to cause trouble to the empire. Only then did Royale put away the general contempt and arrogance of wizards for other professions. , Had to go all out.
He read a spell quietly and silently, the sky was immediately covered with clouds in the spherical space, and endless lightning storms fell from the sky, instantly smashing Mephistopheles' Legion of Ash into smoke.
The Legion of Ashes that Mephistopheles summoned was in fact the manifestation of his law. When the Legion of Ash was destroyed, his domain was naturally torn open. He was injured at the same time and snorted.
But at this time, he found the position of the opponent through the power ripple caused by Royale's chanting of the incantation. Like the giant sword in his hand, the gray sword light swept in that direction like a stormy sea.
The turbulent law immediately shook the entire space, and Royer could no longer hide in the parallel dimension, and had to show his figure in the material world. The next moment, a sword light hundreds of meters long swept across his waist. .
Royer's figure shook slightly, as if it had been interrupted in two, but there was no scene of blood and light appearing. His corpse divided into two parts disappeared into the air like broken water patterns.
phantom-
Royer appeared from the other side of the sword light, but his face was pale, and the ring on the index finger of his right hand cracked and cracked. If it weren't for this life-saving ring, I am afraid he would have cut the opponent in the waist.
The gray sword light could ignore his magical defenses, which made him horrified. After the previous round of fights, although the opponent suffered serious injuries, he also lost an elemental pattern ring and one. A ring of life protection.
The most important thing is that he was forced to show his figure by Mephistopheles. The biggest advantage of wizards and warriors is that the unpredictable spells keep them in the active position, and once they fall into the passive position.
That is the home of the fighters.
…
And just as Royer opened the spell barrier and moved a space above Hanlu Manor out of the material world, Richard and several people also met their opponents.
Richard himself stopped in front of Vala, while Willek flew into the forest below, but what the great commander of the Flame Warlord did not expect was that he stayed and stopped at the Great Holy See. In front of Vala, in addition to him, there was Saipan who was against the tower.
This action by the other party was beyond his expectation-although his own strength is still slightly inferior to Walla, it will not be difficult to hold the other party for a while. Richard's original intention was to let the other two take the opportunity to first Subduing Brando, the two teamed up with Bradley's three extremes to join the young man of Eruin without any chance.
But his own soldiers, whose mission is to obey orders, forget that his partners are not always the case. Royale is a court mage and only obeys the royal family, and Willek's situation is almost the same.
However, apart from these two people, the man who is called the tower rebel or the wizard near the gods by the world is a complete outsider.
Richard couldn't help but look back at the other person, only to see that the other party was expressionless, and did not intend to communicate with him-in fact, this person is not a person who is good at speech, and his reputation depends on him. Terrible strength and legendary experience.
Saipan used to be a real civilian, and he became a teacher with an old wizard. Fortunately, he manifested the elements. He once worked in the Imperial Knights, but because of its element, the "World Reflecting" was not taken seriously, he later left sadly. .
So far, this person's experience is not much different from that of most wizards in the empire who pursue power and status, but just a few years later, when he reappears in people's vision, he has already civilized the elements.
His element'World Reflecting' can reflect everything in the material world. It seems to be just a useless illusion element, but after the civilized element, this law has shown terrifying power.
Because in the hands of Saipan, he was able to show the reflection of the world of law in the present world. This is not a field where the insignificant individual’s understanding of the law unfolds, but the reflection of the real world of law. The power of this reflected world is almost Thousands of times as much as the extreme plain, its power can be imagined.
Therefore, it is by no means Miu Chuan that the folks call him the mage closest to the gods.
However, the reflection of this kind of reflection is not without cost. Even he himself has reflected the White Tower completely in the material world only once. In that battle, he almost razed the Nazers to an army by himself. On the ground, the title of Tower Reversal also came from this.
But after that, Saipan never showed such a powerful force again.
Because of his early experience, Saipan has always maintained a rumorous relationship with the empire. He is here at the moment because he is currently employed by the empire's royal family.
But this kind of employment is by no means a relationship of allegiance, it is nothing more than a relationship of power or money.
Faced with such a person, Richard did not dare to speak casually even if he was dissatisfied, and he also understood that the other party was not his subordinate.
"Alright, Willek and Bradley should be enough to deal with that young man. At least I will be more relaxed if this guy stays."
In the heart of this big head, he could only comfort himself so helplessly.
