The Shadowsteel Golem, which prioritizes attacking creatures, stopped its movements the moment the old thief's life response disappeared. Its simple wisdom could not understand this situation. This gave the old thief a chance to escape.
If the old thief's only opponent is the Shadowsteel Golem, he will undoubtedly succeed in doing so.
The tragedy is that he fell into Raven's conspiracy from beginning to end.
In the previous life in the Church of Cyric, Raven came into contact with countless high-level rogues and even more thieves, whether as enemies or among his own people.
Raven knew almost exactly how the thief would react to any situation he faced. Unless he was a genius thief who was truly adaptable and adaptable, he could not exceed Raven's budget.
The moment the old thief entered the shadow form, Raven activated [Covering Fog]. He stretched out his hands. The extremely high shadow fit allowed him to easily draw power from the shadow, and sprayed out cold and dark energy from his hands forward.
Mist.
The fog was originally only used to block the enemy and give yourself a chance to hide yourself.
This involves another combo. This simple ice mist is harmful, and even [Shadow Form] is not immune to this kind of damage similar to cold magic.
The movement speed in [Shadow Form] is also very fast, but it is much slower than the high speed that came and went like the wind before.
Raven's [Covering Fog] easily hit the old guy, causing almost negligible damage.
That's enough.
The system prompts in my ear keep ringing:
"You activated [Suffocating Shadow] on the target, and you guided shadow magic into his body, allowing his own shadow to hinder him. If the obstruction is successful, the target will be slowed down within 10 seconds and suffer a physical adjustment equal to yours.
extra damage."
"You threw 12 pieces of [Alchemical Fire] at the target. Because the target is in [Shadow Form], each attack adds 5 points of brilliance and vulnerability."
"You entered [Shadow Form]."
"The target revealed his true form, and he was attacked again by the Shadowsteel Golem. The Shadowsteel Golem launched a negative energy shock wave."
"The target is dying! Due to the existence of special sacrificial rituals, you cannot gain killing experience even if the target dies."
After a series of prompts, what appeared in front of Raven was an old thief with only half a body. After the old man was hit by a negative energy shock wave in his flesh and blood body, he was torn alive by the Shadowsteel Golem.
"I don't understand...I don't understand..." Van Der Fa coughed up blood, and the focus of his eyes began to lose focus. His mind was thinking about a question while he was dying. He threw [Alchemy Fire] and was attacked by the Shadow Steel Demon.
Like the attack, why was Raven fine with the same attack?
"Oh. I'm sorry, I asked the Strangler Golem to throw away the [Alchemy Fire]."
"What?!" The old thief figured it out. Creatures playing with fire in the shadow plane will be attacked. If the person playing with fire is not a creature, then it is a different matter.
"You...you are despicable!"
"Despicable? Please, at least let a paladin say that to me. The word 'despicable' is really unconvincing when it comes to you."
The angry breath mixed with blood filled the old guy's throat. He wanted to curse something, but in the end he couldn't curse a word.
In extreme frustration, the old man finally breathed his last.
At this moment, Raven felt that huge power blessing him, which included the strength, agility, constitution and reflex bonus of the shadow dancer, as well as the super agility of the old thief.
"Due to the special sacrificial ceremony, you have received temporary attribute bonuses. Now your strength is 50 points, your constitution is 45 points, and your agility is 75 points."
The system prompt surprised Raven. He never dreamed that the shadow ceremony of a mere gold-level shadow orb could achieve this level.
Suddenly Raven thought of something.
Unfortunately, there was no time for him to think about it.
"Huhu... I didn't expect that the last one left was Raven... I thought I could settle the score with that old guy." In the shadows, Ellison slowly walked out. After a moment, he Behind the embarrassed figure, a confused cloud floated silently.
Raven recognized it as a black hole monster at a glance, and cursed in his heart that the old bitch was a traitor, even if he died, he would harm others.
"Is this a 'gift' from the old guy?" Raven sneered in the shadow state.
Ellison's arm trembled obviously, and his teeth were almost broken: "It's okay, this gift will be returned to you in the same way. Raven!"
"Haha, I haven't even started to settle accounts with you, and you settle accounts with me first. Interesting! How interesting! You have been chasing me for a long time, right? You want to kill me so much? I don't even know why you want to kill me. ?”
"God said! You want to die! Then you must die!" Ellison's eyes were filled with fanatical flames.
"Damn it, I'm tired of talking to fanatics, and no one can speak human words." Raven rubbed his eyebrows.
"All artificers must die!"
"Uh... Okay, this is some useful information." Raven finally knew that his murder should be related to the mechanical warlock. Of course, he didn't expect to pry anything out of the mouth of such a fanatical priest. Simply. Violent means are almost impossible to make a priest with a strong will surrender. However, Raven does not have any special means at his disposal, such as hallucinations, hypnotism and the like.
After the scolding, it's time to start the war.
Not only Raven, but also Ellison noticed that the surrounding environment had become smaller.
When there were only four candidates left, all four had no way out. Under the influence of the power of the Shadow Orb, Jueying Plain began to compress their activity space.
This is a situation where they are forced into a ring. Whether they want it or not, they will enter a two-two duel.
Two people, only one can live.
Only the winner will receive the Shadow Orb.
Before the fight started, Raven asked one last question: "Where are your guards?"
"Vallie chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of victory." Ellison answered straightforwardly, with unconcealable pain in his eyes.
Raven could imagine what happened. The old thief used [Alchemy Fire] to attract the extremely difficult black hole monster. This monster is almost immune to any physical damage and does not take most magic damage. In many cases, it is almost invincible. existence.
There are only very few exceptions.
Cyric's magic of lies and illusion is one of these rare exceptions.
Divine magic is not omnipotent, and Ellison, as a silver-level priest, will certainly not be able to conquer such a terrifying monster without any cost.
If the guess is correct, it was the Dark Guard who offered his soul as a sacrifice to Ellison, and then Ellison obtained a higher-level divine spell from Cyric, thus defeating the black hole monster.
In addition, because of the Blackguard's self-sacrifice, his strength, constitution, and toughness bonuses were almost completely added to Ellison under the influence of the Shadow Ritual.
This is trouble!
It was already difficult to just deal with Ellison, who was a silver-level priest, but now he had to strengthen it... If Raven hadn't received a lot of bonuses from other people, there would be no need to fight at all and he would just commit suicide.
Speaking of which, Ellison tried to murder Raven over and over again. Raven found that she couldn't hate him.
Ellison does not kill people out of selfish desire. His constant murders are only rooted in repaying Cyric's favor. His philosophy is only to fight and sacrifice his life for Cyric to unify the Kingdom of God.
Regarding him personally... Raven didn't see much insidiousness and cunning in him, but instead saw a lot of brilliance of humanity.
At least Ellison knows what loyalty is.
At least, he understands what it means to repay a favor.
"Allison, I suddenly don't want to hate you anymore, but I will definitely kill you." Raven declared coldly.
"Under the glory of my Lord, I am undefeated! However, I am very interested in knowing, how do you defeat my army?"
It cannot be denied that Ellison's younger brothers are a bit too powerful: the gold-level black hole monster, the silver-level faith guard, and the heroic shield guardian.
This does not include the priest's various attribute blessings and healing skills.
Looking at the colorful radiance on those monsters and summoned objects, one can tell from these rays of light that each of them is blessed with at least three or more magical arts.
On Raven's side, there was only a lone silver-level strangled demon statue, Rope One, which was still half-broken.
Anyone in that situation would die crying.
"Sinner! Repent! If you choose to surrender to our Lord, maybe our Lord will be merciful and spare your life."
"Hahahaha! I laughed so hard! The biggest joke of the year was born! Cyric has despicableness and viciousness in his blood. Does such a guy have the word 'compassion' in his brain dictionary?" At the end of the sentence, Lei
Wen's words were filled with coldness: "If I have to say it, that scumbag Cyric is not worthy of the loyalty of someone like you!"
"Presumptuous!" Ellison was angry, really furious. He was so focused on serving Cyric that he could not tolerate the slightest blasphemy against Cyric.
He raised his hand.
The newly acquired terrifying monster, the Black Hole Monster, suddenly pounces on Raven!
Rope One suddenly blocked in front of Raven. Behind it, Raven canceled the shadow form, stretched his right hand forward, and then swiped hard to the right. His index finger and middle finger pointed to the void on the right, and what came out of his mouth was pure Nerath language.
.
"I declare in the name of Raven, the artificer of the Nerath Empire! I will inherit the glory of the empire! Inherit the empire's great artificer culture and strive to revive Nerath. Here, I would like to issue a pardon with the power of my blood.
——Come under my command! The confused golems who have lost their master!”
The system suddenly started to ding non-stop.
"A total of fifteen unowned Shadowsteel Golems were found around you. You launched a surrender attack on these Shadowsteel Golems, and now your check bonus is calculated... [Persuader] +2, [General Affinity] +3
, the Red Knight’s [War God’s Invocation] +5, you have gained a total of 10 bonus points. Based on your 20 points of charm, the test begins now..."
"The test is successful. A total of three golems have chosen to join you permanently, and the remaining twelve golems have chosen to join your camp temporarily. You can now directly command the shadowsteel golems under your command through soul connection, but for the other golems, you
