In the dark and cold night, a few beacons suddenly lit up on the top of the city. Accompanied by bursts of loud chants, a huge magic barrier of soft white holy light slowly rose from the Holy City, and finally shrouded the Holy City tightly.
Above the capital city, the light emitted by this holy light barrier illuminated the entire night, and even people within a hundred miles could see the glowing sky.
"The sneak attack force of the Demon Alliance is about to attack, and the whole city is on alert!" Countless residents of the Holy City who woke up from their dreams were surprised to hear the orders coming from the streets, "Every household, listen carefully and arrange defenses.
Illuminate the portal with the holy light that removes impurities!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion in the city. A whole team of Guards soldiers came out from the camp to protect the magician and went up to the city wall to defend. The officials and nobles could not wait at home and drove to the palace to explore the details. Even if the Sibia Empire captured
They couldn't swallow this bad breath and fought back. They should have notified them in advance! How could the sneak attack troops of the Demon Alliance appear below the city without any warning? And our own defense measures are so strange.
?
The officials and nobles who rushed to the palace were unable to enter the main palace because His Majesty the Emperor was "discussing this matter with some important ministers." While these ministers were discussing, the situation on the city wall had reached a critical moment. The evil spirit
They were desperately accumulating under the city wall, apparently wanting to take the "spiritual ladder" to attack the city. The magicians of the Sbia military could only seize this short time to add magic to the Guards and conduct a battle.
Impressive "Evil Spirit Knowledge Lecture".
Normally, no one can explain the illusory existence of souls, because even if souls do exist, they usually do not come out to cause trouble. The only chance for them to appear is on the battlefield with the allied forces of demons, evil demons, etc.
They can do anything. Commanding evil souls and puppeting blood demons to fight is in line with their usual style of doing things. Therefore, once an evil spirit appears, it must be the work of the demons... There is no other way than to push away unexplainable things.
It is more convenient to reach the enemy's head.
The nervous Guards soldiers knew one thing first. In fact, souls do not have entities. They move in a flying way. However, without the help of external force, they cannot float more than two feet in height, so
When facing the city wall, they will still come up in a way similar to "climbing". In terms of attack, they mainly use "howling" and "winding". The former is to release fear, and the latter is to
Attach to the entity of the living being and gain control.
The second point the magician warns everyone is to never let evil spirits get close to you. If you are possessed by an evil spirit, you will only end up becoming a puppet of the evil spirit. For such people who have the evil spirit and are not afraid of death,
Soldiers who have a unique style and physical destructive power will be given the awe-inspiring title of "Necromancer" on the battlefield, and then they will be chopped into pieces by their former comrades at the first opportunity. Those who were senior officers during their lifetimes will
They are called "Necromancer Knights", and there are even "Necromancers" and "Necromancer Leaders".
The third thing to know is that as long as your weapons and armor are blessed with the Holy Light of Elimination, then there are only three things to do - the first is to cut, the second is to cut, and the third is to cut again!
The warriors who had no experience in fighting souls had just heard these words. Before they had time to think about it carefully, countless evil spirits under the city wall had already planned their tactics. After a particularly sharp horn, they seemed to explode.
Like a nest, they began to swarm towards the city wall - on their way, the huge and thick holy light barrier was shining brightly, but the evil spirits rushing in front rushed up without hesitation, and countless evil spirits were in the holy light.
He was annihilated in front of the light barrier, but exchanged his own death for the short-term weakness of the holy light barrier, which gave the evil spirits behind a chance to enter. A series of shrill screams echoed, hitting the eardrums of the soldiers, which made people's hair stand on end. Although
It's not a scene of blood and flesh, but it vaguely reveals another style of tragedy.
The evil spirits that broke into the holy light barrier were all very large, and they stuck to the surface of the city wall in order. The city wall had already been magically defended by magicians. As soon as the evil spirits stuck on it, they screamed, and their illusory bodies
It exudes a disgusting stench and will completely melt in the blink of an eye. But the evil spirit does not seem to be "greedy for life and afraid of death". The first melts will be immediately replaced by the later ones, and it is also extremely excited. The height of the Holy Capital City,
It is definitely ranked among the top three in the imperial capital, but these evil spirits really swarmed up in layers, with such fierce momentum and clear goals that even the beasts in estrus would feel inferior to them.
"Kill!" The ground soldiers stationed on the city wall met in an unusually neat formation. Rows of spear heads flashing with white light were stabbing, and rounds of round swords were slashing. They just popped up on the city wall.
The evil spirits that came had no means of resistance and were instantly defeated... But the seemingly weak evil spirits had an absolute advantage in numbers. They really moved forward inexorably, succeeding one after another, and there were "spirits" in their wake!
Occasionally, an evil spirit seizes the fleeting opportunity and screams, which can make the soldiers in front of it burn with fear and retreat. Occasionally, an evil spirit successfully attaches itself to the body of a certain soldier,
It can trigger a series of disasters!
In less than a meal, the Guards stationed on the city wall were caught in a bitter battle. Not to mention other things, during this period of time, the feeling of wielding spears in the air and slashing with swords would be extremely difficult to adapt to.
Moreover, he was killing an evil spirit. Not only did he not have any sense of accomplishment, but he also had to breathe the foul smell that made him dizzy... not many normal people could hold on.
This is not only the case on the city wall, but as time goes by, evil spirits wandering around the city also appear on the streets, one in the east and one in the west. They can't be chopped down no matter how hard they are, leaving those troops patrolling the city.
Tired of running for their lives.
This situation came into the eyes of the little princess of the God Clan without missing a beat.
The little princess smiled coldly, feeling furious. Just imagine, something like this happened in the city where the sacred and great little princess came. It would not be very honorable to spread the news. This was obviously the wanton provocation of the demons.
Pan! But the golden god cannot take action on his own, because as a god, directly intervening in human affairs is also a self-deprecating behavior... Therefore, the little princess can only ask the temple priests who have never had any contact with Sibia officials to dispatch
, joined the great cause of fighting against evil spirits.
The hatred towards the demon princess also continued to rise with the intensity of the war. In addition, the little princess of the god clan was also a little confused by the behavior of the demon princess: if she wanted to play, she could
There was no need to attack Cohen Keda, or to limit the scope of the attack to the palace. There was no need to make the matter such a big deal. Does this mean anything to her?
In fact, within half an hour of the evil spirits' attack, the palace was also attacked, and the intensity of the attack from the beginning was ten times that of the most intense battle on the city wall!
In just an instant, a large hole was punched through the magic barrier outside the palace by several small green magic balls. The magicians stationed there were stunned and had no time to react - tens of thousands of evil spirits with eyes burning with green light.
They surfaced from the ground and flew up end to end. Passing directly through these holes, they jumped towards the magic array of the island in the middle of the lake in the harem!
This is definitely beyond the ability of the evil spirits themselves. These are not ordinary evil spirits. The arrows fired by elf archers and blessed with holy light magic cannot cause harm to them at all. They can only watch the evil spirits.
The spirits passed over Kanji's head. And the target of these evil spirits was, of course, just a certain unlucky emperor in the magic circle on the island in the middle of the lake... Seeing the series of abnormal events that appeared in front of them, the members of the Sibia royal family were all aware of this.
It is no longer a question of whether Cohen's curse will succeed or not. This is clearly the direct participation of the gods and demons in the behavior. Under such circumstances, how Cohen behaves is no longer the decisive factor. The intentions of the gods and demons are what truly dominate everything.
in principle.
If it had been anyone else, they might have been terrified at this moment and waiting for help, or they might have been lucky enough to wait for help... Anyway, they were waiting for help.
But Cohen had no such plan. The Emperor Sbia, who had endured the burning curse of the little princess Riva's entire life, stood in the center of the magic circle, holding a sword in his left hand and operating the sword in his right hand. The surging fighting spirit was wrapped around the blade.
, changed the outline of the sword, and illuminated Cohen's face. Circles of magic runes and lines connecting runes floated on the ground next to Cohen, rotating around him.
When the leading group of evil spirits rushed down from an oblique angle with thunderous momentum, they did not reach Cohen because the first thing they had to face was the human who had been walking beside Cohen. Although this human was not
As conspicuous as Emperor Sibia next to him, when the cold eyes that ordinary people couldn't match spread with his slightly opened eyelids, the formation of the evil spirits that jumped from the air actually had a small formation.
messy.
Covered by his cold gaze, Crow pressed down his left hand and pulled the sword out of its sheath with his right hand. The sword tip passed a semicircle in front of him. It was as fast as a bolt of lightning in the sky, and slow enough that the naked eye could see the entire movement of the sword tip.
Process. The crow seems to have copied countless copies of itself and countless long swords in an instant, so that the evil spirits rushing towards it cannot tell which one is the real enemy and which is the afterimage of the enemy - that is, at this moment
, the evil spirits know that having illusory figures is not their exclusive patent.
The real sword was being held up in the air by the real crow, facing the evil spirit who was rushing forward and only twenty arms away from him - the tip of the sword shook once, then once more, and a dazzling sword appeared.
A spot of light appeared at the tip, and then a bright pillar of sacred light shot out from the tip of the sword!
Under the impact of such powerful holy energy, most of the evil spirits were wiped out from the night sky, and a small number of evil spirits had not yet fully taken up their positions. The crow's free left hand was raised again, scattering a dazzling light.
Cover them. If the evil spirits encounter natural enemies, they will be destroyed upon contact. Although they try their best to avoid them and keep fighting left and right against the light spots flying like snowflakes, the light spots still slowly close together according to the established rules. In the end,
Wrapped in hundreds of evil spirits, it shrank into a ball as big as a fist, flashed, and disappeared without leaving a trace.
But the number of evil spirits is extremely huge, and they appear continuously until they occupy the entire sky. Just as one team disappears, another team comes one after another. The impact from two directions will not be effective, and the next time there will be three.
The attacks from all directions were simultaneously accompanied by surprising sneaky attacks, never leaving any gaps. Even the mighty crow could not cope with the evil spirits rushing in from all directions at the same time. Finally, there were scattered evil spirits.
Sneaked through the gap in the Crow's defense and jumped in front of the target.
Emperor Sibia had already been waiting for him. To be precise, Cohen was waiting impatiently. If there was no curse burning his life in his body, and there was no blood flowing out of his mouth due to being unable to swallow, he would have rushed forward and started to chop... But he
You must stay in the magic circle and let the crows kill as much as possible first. Now, the evil spirits rushing in front of you finally provided Cohen, who was burning inside, with a way to vent his pain. It couldn't have come at the right time.
It's a pity that evil spirits don't have high intelligence. Otherwise, they should have learned from Cohen's ferocious face and crazy eyes that this was a creature more terrifying than ten thousand of his kind combined.
The evil spirits are not afraid of fighting spirit, which cannot cause much damage to them who have no body. The fighting spirit wrapped in the sword emits a golden color as bright as the sun. Although it can lift up this human being's fighting spirit, it can only
That's all. What the evil spirits are really afraid of is the magical light spots mixed with fighting spirit and with a sacred aura... Although this human's magic is not very outstanding, it is enough. Sacred magic is sacred magic.
The essence will not change due to differences in abilities.
Not to mention that this white sacred magic is hidden in the brilliant golden yellow, which makes the evil spirits become enemies. Their wisdom, which is slow to a certain extent, has not yet awakened, and has been swept away by Cohen's sword and burned away by the sacred magic...
…Crow was at full power in front, blocking most of the evil spirits that came towards him. Cohen was slashing behind to kill the fish that slipped through the net. And even after slashing, he was still vomiting blood while chasing after slashing - human beings' tolerance for pain is limited.
, but the extent to which the pain can be alleviated by diverting attention is infinite. Therefore, when Cohen was immersed in the pleasure of chasing down the ruthless enemy, the pain of the curse seemed to be far away from him.
Although the evil spirit that slipped through the crow's grasp is still as vicious, how can it withstand the methods of this dear man behind it?
There is a very distinctive feature in the battle against evil spirits. Because evil spirits have no physical body, every thrust and chop is like fighting with the air. Don't dream that the weapon will return to the knife you use in normal combat.
Broken bones, the texture of the sword through the throat, don't expect to be able to use the opponent's block to gain strength. Although the sword still seems to be rotating in the void during training, the person inside it does not dare to spend any time training.
mentality!
Evil spirits do not have a very professional coordination of advance and retreat, but they have an innate strong desire for living beings, blood, and flesh.
They want to attach themselves to that body, they want to corrode it, and completely change it! To do this, they will stretch their bodies to the maximum, baring their teeth and claws for a frontal impact; they will also shrink their bodies into filaments, and follow the whirling movement.
The sword wind swam like a fish, gliding like a snake against the cold ground. Squeezing through the tiny defensive gap, it headed towards the fresh blood and flesh!
Cohen and Crow, who were under siege, had to use all their senses, even their bare skin and that damn sixth sense, to collect all the phenomena around them. They would not let anyone get close to them from the front, side, back, above or below.
Evil spirits! No matter when, as long as a small oversight, it will make irreparable mistakes... When fighting with people, you can still breathe, but when fighting evil spirits, you open your mouth a little wider when breathing.
, it is possible to inhale several evil spirits into the lungs together with the air!
Whenever this damn fighting progresses to a certain level, Cohen or Crow will have to perform a full range of sacred magic to give themselves a breathing space. The white light spots flying in the sky can drive away all evil spirits, but they can only
In exchange for one breath of safe time, because in the next moment, the evil spirits rushing from all directions can surround the two of them... They can't kill them all, they can't get rid of them, and they can't escape!
Martial arts and magic are unparalleled in the world. This is the characteristic of Crow. However, as time goes by, he still cannot withstand such huge consumption and can no longer block the evil spirits as effectively as before. The menacing evil spirits almost destroy Crow's body.
The entire field of vision was blocked, and the constant piercing screams almost made the crow unable to hear any other sounds... In confusion, the long sword in the crow's hand seemed to have touched something. Although it was only an extremely subtle momentary feeling, it could not be concealed.
crow.
Crow's sacred magic and Cohen's ring of fighting spirit were activated almost at the same time. Two circles, one silver and one golden, carrying the owner's anger and violence, rushed out from the center of the two bodies, sweeping across thirty arms in an instant.
everything of!
The vibrations caused by squeezing the ground were continuous, but nothing appeared within the thirty-arm space. However, the deep and bloody scar on Cohen's back that was half an arm long could not have been accidentally injured by himself.
Bar?
The crow finally let out a roar, and another ring of fire exploded with him as the center. The hot flames covered the ground carefully, and everything that could be ignited by the fire was let go, including more than ten people near and far.
Figures - The tissues on the surface of these things' bodies were ignited by the flames, and red and yellow flames were spitting out. The air was filled with black smoke and stench.
The evil spirits were crawling under these flaming figures, both excited and frightened. Their flattery to please the humble and Cheng Huan was like a worldly slave meeting his master. Could it be that human beings are so servile when they are alive, and are turning into evil spirits?
The spirit will never die?
The clothes on his body were burned by the flames into a tattered beggar's outfit. These more than ten strange things appeared and they were simply burned away with a strange green flame. The green flame became more and more powerful, and finally they were burned away.
The body was completely wrapped. When these eighteen flames were extinguished at the same time, two human-like things that Cohen had never seen before were revealed.
They are similar to humans because they have bodies, faces, skin, and movements.
They are similar to humans because they have no eyes, no breath, and no signs of life.
Nine of them wore exactly the same style of large black robes, and carried a huge black scythe on their shoulders that was several heads taller than themselves. The other nine wore tight-fitting leather outfits with strange textures like tree bark, and held two crescent-shaped weapons.
The sharp and sharp blades - one of them was sticking out his green tongue, carefully licking a trace of blood from the sharp blade. That was Cohen's blood!
"What..." Seeing this thing that didn't look like a human being or a ghost licking the blood on the weapon with a tongue dripping with sticky liquid, Cohen couldn't help but turn his stomach, although he definitely couldn't vomit anything.
Something comes.
"The one carrying the scythe is the undead reaper, and the rest is called soul flame." Crow tried his best to adjust his breathing and replied: "The appearance of these two things means that there will be a bigger one behind."
"On this ground." Cohen coughed out a mouthful of blood and cursed with a gasp, "Is there anyone fucking bigger than me?"
The undead reaper who was closest opened his mouth, revealing a white but incomplete set of rotten teeth. The scream he made was like a military order, and the evil spirits around him surged up again! (To be continued)
