Thresh is a very patient man - oh, to be precise, a very patient undead.
What he likes most is to collect those dazzling souls, then imprison them in his soul-inducing lamp, and listen to their wails.
For Thresh, the wails of these souls are the most beautiful music in the world.
Obviously, Lux's soul is the one that best meets his expectations.
Therefore, Thresh hid in the black mist, waiting for an opportunity to make a sneak attack, hoping to lock Lux in one fell swoop and extract her soul - but, after Kalya's reminder, Lux remained in a state of convulsion.
, even when controlling the dragon of light, it still maintains irregular movements.
After estimating several times, Thresh failed to find a sure opportunity to hook...
The powerful and cautious Lux made Thresh feel a rare sense of irritation. He waited patiently for a long time, wanting to see if Lux would reveal any flaws due to insufficient magic power.
Then, this wait lasted ten minutes.
Lux, who controlled the Dragon of Light, didn't seem to feel tired at all. Her magic power was endless and she showed no signs of discomfort. Moreover, during this period, she would still move her position from time to time, and even actively controlled the Dragon of Light to patrol for a while.
lock up.
This over-cautious behavior gave Thresh, who was secretly preparing to act, quite a headache.
Are you about to give up?
No, no.
For Thresh, the attraction of Lux's soul is too strong. Even if he knows that Lux is difficult to deal with, Thresh is not willing to give up for a while.
After much deliberation, Thresh chose to leave temporarily.
Instead of giving up Lux's soul, he went back to find a fool who was stupid enough to protect him from the thunder.
Coincidentally, there is indeed such a fool in Shadow Island - every time the black mist spreads out, he will be the first one, and then he will be beaten up and rolled back to the deepest part of the black mist.
Rebirth.
He is... Hecarim.
It would take some effort to lure Hecarim directly to this temple. However, Thresh decided to pay a little price for this brilliant soul that he was interested in.
……………………
Hecarim and his Phantom Troopers landed on Bilgewater.
This terrifying knight, known as the Shadow of War by the people of Bilgewater, has similar hobbies to Thresh and also likes to collect souls.
However, unlike Thresh who likes to listen to the wails of souls, Hecarim prefers to incorporate qualified souls into his Phantom Cavalry.
These roaring phantom cavalry will follow him, charge with him in destruction, and when facing powerful enemies, they will turn into a shadow army, completely tearing apart anyone who dares to stand in the way of Hecarim.
Therefore, Hecarim would not miss any opportunity to collect souls. When the black mist dispersed, he took action immediately.
However, unlike Thresh who came straight to the temple, he first scanned several surrounding docks and selected the souls that were of interest to him.
Although Hecarim is still a fool, and still believes that he has a promising future, and that as long as he collects enough powerful souls, he will be invincible in the world, he has been dealt with by Illaoi too many times. After coming to Bilgewater
, he will still subconsciously avoid the temple of Nagakapoulos.
If you want to lure such a guy into a trap for you, your strategy doesn't need to be very sophisticated, but the bait must be substantial enough.
Therefore, Thresh found a few souls from his soul-inducing lamp that had not been extinguished and were still wailing powerfully.
These guys all belong to a cult called the "Sentinels of Light" - in Thresh's long experience of the undead, these guys are the few mortals who have caused him trouble.
Although to a large extent, the trouble comes from the wonderful inheritance they master and the weapons that can emit the light of the holy flame, it is undeniable that the souls of these guys are also extremely tough and highly valuable for collection.
And having collectible value also means that it is a good material to become a Phantom Knight.
Thresh believed that as long as Hecarim saw these souls, he would be tempted to include them in his cavalry.
After casually killing a few unknown Bilgewater people who were still operating in the black mist, Thresh lined up their souls together with the souls of these light sentinels, leading to Nagaka Poro.
The road to the Silk Temple.
This method does not seem clever, and it is not much different from the temporary traps used by hunters to catch birds that come out to look for food in winter.
But it’s just right for use here.
Because judging from Hecarim's performance, his remaining IQ under the erosion of the black mist seems to be no different from that of a stupid bird.
And the reality is just as Thresh planned, everything goes smoothly.
Pursuing these powerful souls, Hecarim arrived outside the temple step by step, and like Thresh, he fell in love with Lux at a glance.
"Come on." He swung his halberd, and his twisted hooves paved the soil violently, "Join us, become a part of us..."
And almost at the moment Hecarim appeared, Lux also discovered this guy who looked completely different from other undead.
"Be careful!" After seeing Hecarim, Kalya warned immediately, "The twisting power of this guy is quite amazing, and he has even turned into flesh. Don't take any of his attacks forcefully!"
Hearing this, Lux simply controlled the dragon of light and smashed it directly towards Hecarim.
That's right, just "smash it" - the consumption of magic power control is too great. Instead of using the dragon of light to perform any fancy operations, it is better to directly use pure light elements to hit this guy head-on.
And almost when the dragon of light crashed down from mid-air, Hecarim also led his cavalry regiment and launched a devastating charge.
The heavy horse's hooves stepped on the soil, causing ripples that echoed with the power of shadow.
Behind Hecarim, countless shadowy figures were roaring and shouting, following Hecarim's footsteps and rushing towards Lux.
Facing the dragon of light falling from the sky, Hecarim straightened up his halberd as if he were a dragon-slaying warrior.
Light and darkness intersect.
The sharp halberd split open the dragon's chest.
Unfortunately, before Hecarim could let out a cheer, the dragon had a shocking explosion.
The magical structure was destroyed, and the dragon of light completely turned into broken light. The shattered light was like fragments, causing astonishing damage to Hecarim and the cavalry regiment behind him.
If it weren't for the fact that Hecarim was already undead, this blow would have been enough to leave his body riddled with holes.
In the black mist, the wounds on Hecarim's body caused by the light element fragments were healing rapidly, but behind him, the Phantom Cavalry Regiment was severely depleted.
Even so, Hecarim still did not stop his charge.
His speed increased again, and his blurry figure drew a trail darker than pitch black in the black mist. In just a moment, his sharp halberd arrived in front of Lux.
Facing this seemingly overwhelming blow, Lux did not panic at all.
