The Sonnar River, which passes through the city after half a circle around the city, becomes much more ferocious during the rainy season, with rolling waves and constant roars.
In front of a temple high down by the river, Norbu held an exquisite laurel scepter and waited for Francis with a livid face. He never expected that the priest of "the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption" would suddenly ask
Why didn't he wait one more day to duel with himself? When tonight was over, he wouldn't have to take great risks to fight an unknown opponent, because it was impossible for a dead person to invite a duel.
Not long after the theological meeting ended in the morning, Norbu received the Lord of War's oracle conveyed by Niena, asking the Moon God to kill Leviathan and Francis tonight with the Lord of the Underworld in order to draw out El, who made even the gods uneasy.
Therefore, he quickly used the special method agreed upon to get in touch with the Moon God hiding in the nearby mountains and forests. At noon, they discussed the evening plan together in the temple, how to conduct a raid, how to cooperate with the priests, and how to guard against betrayal by other sects.
How to use the support of the Lord of War to win over several factions, suppress several factions, how to kill the two Leviathans, and anger the "God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption" to the greatest extent, making them unable to control their own actions.
However, just when Norbu was discussing happily with the moon god Asin, thinking that victory was in sight and his hateful opponent was about to fall, a formal "invitation" to a duel was sent to him, which made him bewildered and alert.
What frightened him even more was that he saw the great Moon God showing a trace of fear, fear of the daring and unscrupulous behavior of the priests of El, and fear of their support behind them. Therefore, he also felt a strong uneasiness. In the past,
No one has ever heard of the "God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption", and no one knows to what extent it has reached. They can only speculate through the descriptions beyond imagination during "theological debates" about how powerful the high priest would be.
powerful?
Norbu originally wanted to postpone the duel to the next day, but Francis refused to give in, and this kind of duel launched in the name of blasphemous glory was something that could not be refused in the theocratic society. If anyone evaded giving in, then he and his representatives
If the god is abandoned by his followers, his reputation will be discredited, and the proposer of the duel will have the right to attack anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion, so Nobu had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.
"It's okay, it's very likely that he is a false god and a liar!" Nobu looked at the gathered crowd and whispered to himself.
The Sonar Valley was rich and prosperous, and before the Lord of War controlled it with an iron fist, various sects had less secret fights, and duels between priests often occurred. Therefore, the people of Husum City were quite experienced in similar things, and they understood that even if they wanted to watch the excitement
, but also to hide far away, such as on the other side of the Sonnar River. Anyway, the duel between those favored by the gods is not as plain as ordinary people's fights, and the sound and light can spread far away.
"The God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption is so powerful, and his priest must not be weak either. I think the high priest of the Moon God will return to the embrace of the moonlight this time." A young man said excitedly by the riverside where the waves were loud.
He was a shallow believer in the Lord of the Underworld before, but now he has a tendency to convert.
"That's not necessarily true. Before, it was just a theological debate. Whether it is strong or not can only be known after the actual battle." A devout believer in the Moon God retorted.
Behind them, Ramiro clasped his hands, quietly listening to the discussions around him and thinking doubtfully: "I collected the detailed information here before entering the Erdo Peninsula, how come there is no such information at all?"
‘What about the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption? The target is the Moon Goddess Asin. Is it Silver Moon Aitna who is impersonating her? Has her rank dropped to such an extent? Or are people from other forces pretending to be gods?”
His face has turned into a standard Baal outline, standing in the crowd like water drops falling into the sea, making it impossible for people to detect and distinguish.
At this time, two young men wearing simple white robes stepped onto the steps in front of the Temple of the Moon, and the noise on the river bank suddenly subsided.
Lucien, who was also carrying a big sword, stopped more than ten meters in front of Norbu, getting closer to the Solna River flowing through below, and said solemnly: "Today, we are fighting for the glory of the Lord.
We will never retreat until we die. Priest Norbu, are you ready?"
Are these two guys too confident in refusing to retreat? Hearing such words, Norbu's fear and fear also brewed with strong anger: "Leviathan, is it you or Francis?"
"As a favored one of the great God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, and as a messenger and spokesperson in the Solna Valley, a priest of a false god like you is not worthy of a duel with me. Francis, let him go to the underworld.
Go and repent and accept the just judgment of our Lord." Lucien said as much as he wanted to provoke Norbu.
"Priest of False God, okay, okay! I want everyone to know who is the false god!" Norbu was extremely angry at "Leviathan"'s arrogance. In a daze, he even heard the great moon god in the temple behind.
roared, "When I kill Francis, I will challenge you. You will not be allowed to refuse this duel!"
Lucien smiled slightly and said: "Priest Norbu, you have to remember that the dead cannot challenge."
"Okay! Wait!" Norbu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. The most important thing at the moment was to face Francis and not be provoked into losing his mind by the devil Leviathan.
Francis never spoke. At this time, he slowly pulled out the giant sword with both hands from behind, then walked forward slowly, staring at Norbu: "I will judge you on behalf of my Lord!"
"I will punish you on behalf of the great Moon God." Nobu's duel words made Lucien's eyelids jump and he almost laughed.
The priest of the war temple nearby announced in a deep voice: "The duel begins!
Francis held the sword in both hands, kicked hard with his right foot, and sprinted in front of Nobu like a strong wind. The giant sword swept out violently, causing the sound of the wind to stop abruptly.
The silvery white moon "lit up" in Norbu's eyes, and layers of phantoms of light and dark appeared in front of him, just like the darkness under the moonlight at night.
After the giant sword struck the phantom, it seemed to be lost in the mist and briefly lost sight of it.
And Nobu seized the opportunity, pointed the laurel staff, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped rapidly, and sharp and terrifying ice edges condensed out, densely packed like balls, wrapping Francis in
As soon as he saw that Francis was a priest of strength and melee combat, he breathed a sigh of relief. This spell might not be able to seriously injure his invulnerable body, but it could freeze him inside and restrict his movements, so that the balance of victory would be greater.
Lean towards yourself.
Facing the ferocious ice ball, Francis showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He raised the giant sword in a sweeping sweep, shouted, and slashed down hard. In front of him, behind him, and on the left and right sides, two identical "figures" suddenly appeared on each side.
The same smile, the same heavy blow with the giant sword, like the combined force of nine people.
But the nine silhouettes on the giant sword are all different. Some are wrapped with lightning, some are sputtering with green acid, some are soaring into the sky, some are dry and rotten, some are colorful, and some are crystal cold. They are not like phantoms at all.
The ice edge hit Francis, who did not dodge, and formed a solid and thick layer of ice. However, with the impact of Francis, the ice layer instantly cracked numerous gaps and turned into beautiful fragments, but there were no wounds on his body.
The nine figures struck down simultaneously, hitting Nobu who had not yet passed the casting buffer and had no time to dodge.
In the different bursts of light, Norbu's body shattered like glass.
From the shadow in the distance, Nobu suddenly emerged, but he looked extremely embarrassed. He was throwing out magical spells one after another. But Francis was not affected at all, and he rushed in front of him with eight "phantoms".
, he raised his sword and lowered it to kill him.
"Lightning, acid, fire, withering, toxin, ice, death, spiritual shock... Strong resistance to magic and divine spells... This is indeed the ability of Hydra..." Lu looked on
Sean concentrated on analyzing Francis' bloodline and strength level. "He only showed the ability of a seventh-level heavenly knight, but he must have had reservations. It is initially estimated that he is an eighth-level... eighth-level Hydra bloodline."
The knights and nobles of various countries can be excluded, as well as the knight forces of Beidou and the fallen knights of the Dark Mountains. It seems that they are the night watchmen of the North and South Church or the hidden strength of other false god churches."
There are fewer eighth-level Sky Knights, but not too many. It is impossible for such a character to appear for no reason. Except for the anonymous part of the Night Watch team and the members of the False God Church who are similar to the Night Watch organization, the others
The Magic Council has more or less information about eighth-level knights. Even if it is not detailed, the specific bloodlines are still recorded. Therefore, after comparison, Lucien did not find anyone who matched Francis's strength and bloodline characteristics.
Ramiro's face on the other side suddenly turned solemn: "Is it him?"
"What a powerful God-Blooded One, the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, not a false god..." Seeing that Norbu was about to die under Francis' giant sword, many "priests" lurked in the crowd.
He was mumbling to himself, and his thoughts were changing in a complicated and unspeakable way.
Roar! The Solna River suddenly roared, setting off a huge wave more than ten meters high, like a tide pulled by the moon, slamming hard towards Francis.
Moon God Asin finally couldn't bear it anymore!
Lucien didn't waste any time and ran quickly, controlling his speed close to that of a formal knight. In just a few seconds, he reached the edge of the cliff where the tide had not affected him and threw himself towards the Solna River below.
Francis leaned back, and the eight phantoms made the same movements, as if a nine-headed snake was spitting into the sky. Lightning, flames, acid and poison merged together, turning into a huge black wave that collided with the tide.
Hydra is also good at controlling water flow!
A thin ray of clear light like moonlight lit up, and an old man with a white beard holding a scimitar suddenly appeared behind Francis. The clear radiance surrounding him was the human image of Asin.
As soon as Asin's scimitar was cut out, his eyes suddenly condensed, and a long sword with deep darkness that seemed capable of destroying the world fell from the sky and slashed towards his back.
"Have the remnants of Afando taken refuge in El?" He was shocked and angry, recognizing that this was Jacob, the high priest of Afando, but the defensive spells he prepared were aimed at the fields of resurrection, fertility and redemption.
Lucien didn't know what the battle situation was like above, but before falling into the river, he heard El's indifferent and distant voice: "I order you to die!"
The river water overflowed Lucien's body, and the mottled turquoise beads on his right hand brought fresh air. However, Lucien did not go down the river, but walked upstream like a fish.
A cold light floated out from Asin, and Francis, who was entangled, took it away. Just when El was about to make persistent efforts to kill Asin, an iron-black long arrow with no brilliance suddenly flashed in front of El, carrying
The terrifying power will penetrate!
"You false god!" A terrifying roar came from the war temple.
It was actually the Lord of War who took action himself! His real body was not in the Angronoma Empire, but he arrived in the Solna Valley at some unknown time!
