Surdak was half-kneeling on the gravel-filled hillside, seeing the rushing ice and rocks about to fall from his head, and the diffuse snow and fog filling every inch of the hillside.
Facing the powerful pressure of the Headless Horseman, the only thing he could do was to raise the golden shield with difficulty and draw the rune words of 'Ancient Oath' on his chest.
At the same time, Delia climbed onto the magical handle with Basil's help.
She only felt that her body was being swallowed by the snow and mist, as if she was about to be frozen. Even her movements became slow. Every time she took a breath, a large amount of ice slag rushed into her lungs, making her feel as if her upper body was being frozen.
It was the same, the coldness almost penetrated into the bone marrow.
The magician Basil was also livid from the cold in the snow and fog, and he controlled the magic handle extremely stiffly.
The next moment, the floating device of the magic handle trembled violently. Fortunately, the propulsion device at the tail of the handle did not malfunction at the critical moment. With the continuous injection of mana, a huge thrust allowed the magic handle to carry the two people.
Snow and fog...
The Headless Horseman stood in the snow and fog. The extreme cold had obviously affected it, but it completely ignored the rushing snow and fog and stood firmly on the spot.
The flow of ice and rocks overhead was already so close that it was too late to avoid it now.
He stared at Surdak who was squatting on the ground not far away. The green sword in his hand was stretched out and slashed towards Surdak.
It did not avoid the ice and rock flow at this time, and it obviously had enough confidence.
Suldak suddenly felt a chill in his heart, but when he saw the sword dropped by the Headless Horseman, he could only grit his teeth and raise the gold-decorated shield in his hand, preparing to catch the blow forcefully.
After all, he has the strength of a third-level master. Surdak recited the rune language, and then showed his "power".
The ancient oath caused the pattern of the Naga Sea Tribe to appear on the surface of the golden shield, the silver cross pattern of the Holy Shield, and the large cross pattern of the Blessing Shield. The three overlapped together, making it look particularly messy.
The phantom of the archangel spreading its wings became extremely solid. It exuded divine light and held Surdak in its arms with its wings, making it look like it was protected by layers of protection.
The Headless Horseman fell with one sword.
The shield was broken layer by layer.
Finally, the blue long sword stopped when it hit the gold-decorated shield. At this critical moment, the sword of Kurwin in Surdak's left hand also blocked the green sword blade. Surdak used the sword and shield to parry the headless sword at the same time.
The knight dropped the sword.
It's a pity that even so, Surdak still couldn't completely block the huge momentum transmitted by the cyan sword blade.
The huge force hit the shield, and the gold-decorated shield hit Surdak hard on the chest. Fortunately, he was wearing epic armor like Shefter Stambale, and the magic patterns that instantly appeared on the armor were completely blocked.
The headless horseman's fierce blow.
Surdak only felt a push like a sea wave rushing over him.
He couldn't resist at this moment, and his body was pushed by the huge force and fell down the hillside...
Facing the surging ice and stone flow, the evil spirit leader did not escape. Just a second before an ice block hit the headless horseman, the headless horseman was actually covered with a layer of black armor.
The next moment, the collapsing glacier wrapped around the giant rock like an earth dragon, completely devouring the evil spirit leader.
The figure of the evil general completely disappeared into the ice and stone flow.
This was the last sight of the Headless Horseman when Surdak fell down the hillside.
Surdak, who could no longer hold his body steady at this time, looked up at the stream of ice and rocks coming towards him, but he could not avoid it.
He silently chanted 'Aphrodite'...
Just as a piece of ice with a diameter of one meter hit his chest, a door to the void opened behind him.
Surdak was unable to hold up the gold-decorated shield at this moment. Ice as heavy as a stone fell on Surdak. The Shefter stan cloth armor erupted with a layer of golden light shield for the second time, followed by a huge impact.
Then he pushed him into the gate of void.
…
Aphrodite sat in the yard, looking speechlessly at the messy backyard.
Although this small courtyard is not big, it is a rare place to enjoy the cool air in summer, especially when the dense branches and leaves of the ivy completely cover the corridors and pavilions. On a piece of grass that is not too big, it is
Aphrodite placed a wicker chair.
Before that, this wicker chair had been placed on the terrace on the top floor of the rental house.
She has made this small courtyard very comfortable, and her daughter Vivian can even run around chasing a kobold.
Just now, Surdak, wearing epic armor, flew out of the Void Gate in a state of embarrassment, followed closely by some ice cubes mixed with gravel.
Surdak fell into a wall of rose flowers covered with thorns, and the stones and ice almost buried most of her wall.
If Aphrodite hadn't closed the Void Gate in time, more ice rocks would have poured out.
Benson, the gardener who was weeding next door, was so frightened that he dropped the flower shears in his hand, while he squatted on the ladder and was stunned with fear.
The painter who was painting the roof almost fell from the side of the cigarette. Fortunately, a safety rope was tied to his body and he was suspended on the slope of the roof in time.
Aphrodite's yard is filled with ice stones, which makes it a lot cooler.
She did not rush to rescue Suldak who was buried under the ice pile, but waited for him to push a few ice blocks from inside and crawl out in great embarrassment.
Looking at Surdak's face covered with dirt, he was lying weakly on the grass, with the sword and shield in his hand casually discarded aside. He did not receive the treatment that an epic weapon should receive at all.
Aphrodite then stood up from the wicker chair, held up her skirt, walked over to Suldak and squatted down.
Surdak lay on his back on the grass, looking at the blue sky, white clouds and roofs, knowing that he had escaped this disaster with the help of Aphrodite.
He exhaled all the cold air in his lungs, then closed his eyes and let his body relax completely.
Aphrodite held half of his cheek with one hand, brought his head closer and said:
"I find that you are becoming more and more courageous. If you count the evil ghost leader according to the hierarchy of the Green Empire, he should be a third-turn grandmaster. Do you think you have the strength to challenge a third-turn grandmaster?
"
Surdak opened his eyes, and when he grinned, he probably touched his wound, and his expression was a little painful.
"It suddenly ran out of the evil ghost army. What can I do?" Surdak said casually.
He paused, secretly glanced at Aphrodite's face, and then said:
"Originally, I wanted to call Yinser for help, but Basil said that it could be buried with an avalanche, so we tried it. Who would have thought that the avalanche was a bit big this time, and I also thought about it.
I also rescued the aboriginal female warrior from being buried in the ice and stone flow. I didn’t expect that headless horseman to target me.”
His tone was pretending to be relaxed, and then he added:
"Fortunately, I ran fast." I don't know whether he was talking about Basil and Delia or himself.
Delia let go of her hand and washed her hands in the basin on top of the stone pillar, and then said to Suldak:
"You should thank the goddess of luck. Not every time the Void Gate opens at the right time, you won't have such good luck every time."
Surdak climbed up from the lawn with difficulty, regardless of how dirty he was. He first gave Aphrodite a big hug, then pressed his forehead against hers and said softly: "Okay, I know you
It will definitely work."
Aphrodite's expression finally changed, looking at the mess in the courtyard, she complained:
"What should I do now? The yard is full of ice, and I have to find someone to clean it up... It's really troublesome."
Unexpectedly, the gardener who was trimming the green plants in the garden next door climbed up the ladder, poked his head out of the wall and said to Aphrodite:
"Madam, if you want to clean up this garbage, we are willing to help you, and finally we will repair the lawn and flower wall here for you..."
Surdak knew that Aphrodite had murderous intentions at this moment, but then she changed her mind.
He said to the somewhat unruly gardener Benson: "Then finish these things before night, and remember to recover exactly as you did in the morning."
"I will, ma'am!" Gardener Benson said happily.
What the gardener didn't know was that just now, he had actually walked a circle on the edge of life and death.
Watching the gardener happily carrying the ladder and leaving from the back garden next door, Surdak stood next to the stone pillar and washed his face with the water in the stone basin. He felt full of strength again, and then said to Aphrodite
:
"Well... can I go back now?"
Aphrodite glanced at the direction of the door and suggested to Surdak:
"Actually, we have time to eat something first. At least we have to wait until the collapsing glaciers stabilize so that the opened Void Gate will not be re-buried by ice and rocks. And I heard that the pies in the pie shop opposite are very good.
good."
Only then did Surdak remember that he didn't even have time to eat lunch. Hearing what Aphrodite said, he felt that he was really hungry.
"That's great, we haven't had lunch together for a long time!"
…
The waiter from the Golden Oak Pie Shop carried the plate across the street and when he arrived at the door of Aphrodite's house, he found that the nanny had been waiting here for a long time.
"Just bring the plates back before we close the shop..."
The waiter said to the young nanny, and when he turned to leave, he glanced hard at the nanny's bulging chest.
The young nanny was hired by Aphrodite in the winter to take care of her daughter Vivian. At first, the nanny thought that Aphrodite was no different from other single ladies in the city, she was just a bitch.
A very wealthy single woman with an illegitimate daughter.
Later, after getting along for a long time, I discovered that the hostess was actually an amazing magician, and she owned an extremely huge industry.
She was usually in awe of Aphrodite, and would feel more relaxed only when she was taking care of Vivian alone.
When she was holding Vivian upstairs, she saw Suldak suddenly appear on the lawn in the backyard. She was startled by Surdak at first, and now she acted very cautiously...
Surdak was sitting on a wicker chair in the yard. He was wearing metal armor, so he held Vivian very carefully.
Vivian stared at Suldak with a pair of big blue eyes, and occasionally smiled at him, and her two round white hands always tried to scratch Suldak's face.
Bundle.
Seeing his daughter Vivian, Suldak's face showed a trace of tenderness.
The beautiful daughter is still so young, her eyes are full of curiosity about Surdak.
Probably because he felt this kind of family affection that was thicker than water, he began to miss Wente in Luyint City.
Aphrodite sat quietly aside, smiling as she watched Surdak put Vivian to sleep with his own hands.
The daughter was sleeping in her arms, and the nanny who was standing aside just walked over...
Surdak sat in front of the small table, took out a piece of pie from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Aphrodite didn't seem to want to eat it. She picked up a cup of tea and talked to Surdak who was sitting opposite.
, talked about things in the aboriginal tribe.
Probably because he had been worried about the situation on the Beishan Pass battlefield, Surdak seemed a little absent-minded. The two of them talked about some topics about Delia, and Surdak also talked casually.
Also talking about the factors that awaken the power of the Nephalem, Aphrodite told Suldak that every female demon actually has the ability to awaken the Nephalem...
Aphrodite soon discovered the reason why the Headless Horseman was after Delia:
"It should be the 'ancestral blessing' that attracted the evil ghost leader. This high-level blessing power often gives birth to a trace of the ancestor's breath!"
"The headless horseman should be a strong man who has lived in the dark land of the Abyss for a long time. He is probably also a big lord in the evil ghost army. He just lost his head in a certain battle and lost all his memories. But
It happened that it had met the warriors of the Aegrod tribe on the battlefield, and now it acted based on instinct, so it lost its mind and chased the aboriginal female warrior all the way."
"It is very strong. It has lived for so long and will not die easily. You have to be careful when you go back."
"Okay, it's almost time." Aphrodite said.
When Surdak heard Aphrodite say this, he immediately stood up.
A gate to the void appeared in front of me.
"knew……"
After saying this, Surdak strode through the Void Gate, and the next second, he stood on top of the collapsing iceberg.
There are pieces of ice and rock everywhere.
The flow of ice and rocks rushing down from the peak has almost filled the foot of the mountain. The place where Surdak is standing now should be halfway up the mountain, and the original terrain has been completely buried.
The snow and fog have dissipated, and although the temperature here is extremely low, at least a gentle slope has been formed.
Surdak scanned the spot for a week, trying to find the evil spirit leader who was buried in the ice and snow. Unfortunately, the surrounding area was completely white, with some frost-covered stones occasionally exposed.
Surdak saw a huge bulge of ice, ran over quickly, and rushed to the boulder in one stride.
Not long after, Basil flew over from the sky with Delia...
