A long time ago, one of the greatest shamans in the long and ancient history of the orcs passed away. He once accompanied and guided the first-generation orc king who still exists in countless hymns and epics.
But God is fair, and even this shaman who knows how to use the elements of heaven and earth to extend his life will come to an end one day. And when his body is almost exhausted, his heart is already ready to return to the embrace of the beast god.
, the new orc king knelt in front of his bed and asked him to do the final divination for the fate of all orcs, so this old shaman, who was full of wisdom and could see through the past and the future, left this ancient prophecy:
One day a demon with black hair and black eyes will be born among humans. He will rewrite the fate of the entire orc race. Everything the first generation king won for the orcs will cease to exist.
Among humans, people with black hair and black eyes do exist. To be precise, they have "always existed."
But it seems that this characteristic appears in a certain person due to some kind of atavism or mutation.
Although there are very few human beings with the characteristics of the prophecy, they can be born in any family and in any country. It is also possible to give birth to a child with black hair and black eyes from a couple with hair and eye colors that are completely different from black.
People with black hair and black eyes often fail to pass this feature on to the next generation.
Because the rarity of this feature in humans coincides with the legendary nature of the prophecy itself, Emperor Noah once appointed several people with this feature as senior generals to fight against the orcs, but with little success. It seemed that the prophecy was born in response to the call.
The person has not appeared yet.
This prophecy is also the reason why orcs and humans have always been in conflict, but of course this is not the only reason. There are also resources, territory, beliefs and... countless unknown grudges and entanglements that keep the two races in a constant state of war.
Could the black-haired boy in front of me be the black devil in the prophecy?
Nursa is not sure that there are many humans who have the characteristics mentioned in the prophecy. Nursa, who is not a shaman who can sense destiny, is not sure that this human boy is the person of the prophecy.
But one thing is for sure: if you encounter a human being with such prophetic characteristics - kill him!
"Are you trying to challenge me?"
Nursha grinned and stared at the young man's clear black eyes with his remaining left eye, trying to see something from them.
"I want to kill you." The young man gave Nursha a "disdainful" look in return. Even if there was a huge gap in strength between them, he would not be the least bit timid.
This young man was talking nonsense to him, and Nursha was surprisingly not angry. After all, he was just a dying person, and it didn't matter what he said.
But Nursha does have something troublesome in front of him: Although the Silver Wolf Warriors sent to support him from above are extremely loyal and quite useful based on their strength, the problem is that they are too loyal to the point of "dullness"
Already.
"Originally, you are not qualified to challenge me, but unfortunately those five idiots all went to chase a human, so I have to do it myself."
If those five Silver Wolf warriors were still here, there would be no need for him to bother himself.
Nursha looked at the human boy in front of him. He looked around at the weapons this boy might have. He also wanted to know how confident this person was that he dared to challenge him.
And he dared to say "kill him".
There is definitely something wrong with a seemingly weak existence suddenly gaining some confidence.
It is best to resolve the issue quickly to avoid unnecessary complications.
Nursha narrowed his eyes, and the blood power in his body began to circulate.
He had seen the posture of this young man when he killed the eight-legged sickle bug. That strange power should be derived from the awakening of some ancient bloodline. It would be really tricky if this human young man could still change back to that state.
"Haha, are you serious about it right from the start?"
The young man could feel the surging blood energy in Nursha's body starting to circulate at high speed. The aura exuding from this giant wolf was much more dangerous than before.
But……
Although a battle is about to begin, how should we arrange the sisters in our hands?
"Uh, can you please stop for a moment..."
"Ouch!"
"Hey! Give me a chance."
In this situation that was obviously beneficial to him, Nursha of course ignored the young man's request. He directly swung his knife and slashed at the young man on the horse.
Facing Nursha's oncoming sword, the boy jumped off the horse without hesitation and used the white horse as a human shield to resist the blow.
Phew!!
The moment the blade came into contact with the white horse, the boy and girl were covered in splattered blood.
When the boy subconsciously looked up at the sky where the white horse's body should have been, he found that he was dazzled by a dazzling light. He took a closer look and found that it was the sword light reflected from the blade, and Nursha's waist sword was breaking open.
Behind the white horse's body, the sword force continued to strike towards them without losing any strength.
"Drink!"
The young man shouted loudly, rolled around on the ground with his sister in his arms, and the blade of the waist knife landed where he was before.
The half-foot distance between his neck and the knife mark on the ground is the distance between life and death.
The young man raised his head and looked at the condition of the poor white horse. As expected, the horse had been cut into two pieces at the waist. The head part of the horse was still screaming. It was obvious that it had not completely died. Of course, it was hopeless in this situation.
I just have to suffer a little more torture before I die.
The young man sighed in his heart: I thought I could return the horse to its original owner, but I didn't expect that I would have to consider compensation so soon.
"Is this showing off your vindictiveness?"
The boy first laid the unconscious girl flat on the ground, then stood up and faced the giant wolf alone.
Exuding fighting spirit is a method to enhance the attack range. At the moment of launching the attack, the fighting spirit is attached to the weapon and chopped out together. A strong man with solid fighting spirit can make the fighting spirit released outside the body have as much damage as the physical weapon.
The length of the waist knife in Nursha's hand is not exaggerated, it is only about two feet. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to hit that far, but he can do it if he uses his fighting spirit to release it.
"According to you humans, that's it."
Nursha held a waist knife in his hand and prepared to attack. Now he had to make his well-developed biceps move.
Since he was seriously injured at the hands of that human swordsman, he has never gone into battle in person.
After all, with the kind of injury that almost put him on the verge of death, Nursha would have to take ten days and a half to fully recover even if he relied on the recovery ability of his golden bloodline.
Except for the human warriors who aroused his interest like the "Badafenr", Nursha let his men deal with the rest of the battle, while he meditated at the back and watched the battle.
"Boy, if you kneel down now and beg me to spare that girl's life, I can give it some thought."
Nursha disdainfully lowered the tip of the knife to the human boy's eyebrows. In his eyes, this human being was indeed insignificant.
"Haha, you are so kind!" The young man laughed, "After all, if you kneel down and beg me to spare your life now, I won't even consider it."
The young man pulled out the dagger from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword at Nursha's forehead. He said he would kill the giant wolf, and as a man who kept his promise, he naturally had to do it.
"The mouth is really hard. I will cut it off later to see how hard your mouth can be."
Nursha frowned, he was not sure how confident this young man was to dare to provoke him like this.
You must know that the seemingly shocking blow just now was just a warm-up for Nursha.
Nursha raised his sword, and the boy's eyes widened, taking in all his actions.
The next blow arrived in an instant. The attack of this giant wolf was too terrifying, and fighting head-on would undoubtedly be courting death.
However, the young man never planned to fight head-on from the beginning. He had the experience of challenging such a strong person with an almost overwhelming advantage, and he would not take risks if he was not sure.
From the current point of view, the attack method of this giant wolf is not much different from the black-haired wolf-headed man I encountered. However, this is a wolf after all, and the values of each attribute should be far higher than that of the ordinary wolf-headed man.
.
The boy who had some confidence in his heart chose to dodge sideways in the face of this second attack. The sharp knife edge passed in front of him. It seemed that the blow was over, but the corner of Nursha's mouth suddenly raised. He was in contact with the knife edge.
The moment the young man passed by, his sword force changed. However, what surprised Nursha was that the young man seemed to have anticipated it and blocked this changing attack extremely quickly with his dagger.
"oh?"
This blow was again perfectly avoided by the human boy. Nursha took the knife back in surprise. He stretched out his long scarlet tongue and licked the blood from the knife edge. Unfortunately, there was no blood from the boy on it.
"Oh, you are nothing more than that." The young man who survived the second blow tried his best to suppress the chaotic breath in his chest. When he blocked with his dagger, he paid attention to deflect the force, but his hands were still numb from the shock.
"Static gaze" allows you to have enough time to observe the opponent's movements in detail, so as to predict the opponent's next move.
However, the rich fighting skills of this wolf-headed man made it impossible for the boy to completely dodge even if he succeeded in predicting it. It seemed that it was wrong to use the black-haired wolf-headed man as a reference. This one-eyed giant wolf was indeed superior to all the ones he had seen.
An existence above the wolf-headed man.
"Well, the game should be over."
Nursha narrowed his eyes, and his aura changed again.
It was indeed his fault that he didn't take down this human within two moves, but based on this human's current performance, he would definitely not survive the third move...
"Help, help!"
Fanuo called for help in the surrounding woods, but how could there be anyone in such a barren mountain? But the five wolf-faced monsters followed him closely. Although there was still a distance between them, this distance was
Being gradually shortened, no matter how much he waved the reins, it was of no avail.
"Save me! Who will save me!!"
Even though he knew that no one would come to save him, Fano still shouted to the forest with all his strength.
And the only people who responded to him were the birds in the mountains.
After roaring a few more times, Fano couldn't help coughing twice and found that he was coughing up blood. When he wanted to continue roaring, he realized that his throat had been broken and he could no longer make a sound.
The five silver wolf warriors behind him also got tired of chasing. When they were only ten steps away, one of the silver wolf warriors holding two swords threw the scimitar in his right hand at Fano.
Although the knife did not hit Fano himself, the downward stroke of the knife cut off the horse's hind limbs.
Fano immediately fell down with the fallen horse. The huge inertia made him roll on the ground twice before he stopped. At this time, Fano felt that all the bones in his body were falling apart, and for a while he could only lie down.
On the ground.
This man who originally had a mysophobia was now disheveled and shabby, and looked worse than a beggar. If he had fallen off a galloping horse, he should have been lucky that he had not broken his neck.
And now Fano wishes he could just fall to death like this. However, Fano, who had a few broken ribs, could only lie on the ground obediently like this, watching helplessly as the five steel-armored wolf-headed men who symbolized death came towards him.
He strode forward on his own.
"Great God of Light...please save me."
At this time, Fano struggled to turn over in order to take out his left hand with two broken fingers under his body, and then he traced it on his chest with his intact index finger.
In this desperate situation, what other solution is there besides praying to the ethereal gods?
"Save your devout believers..."
The butcher knife in the wolf-headed man's hand was getting closer and closer to his head, and Fano was trembling all over. After realizing that he was bound to die, he simply closed his eyes and kept chanting prayers.
When these wolf-headed men wanted to end this human's life, a force that made them tremble instinctively rushed over in front of them.
"Curo! (Back!)"
The five Silver Wolf warriors instantly scattered in all directions, and the place where they were standing turned into a deep pit amid a deafening roar.
After the dust cleared, the scene in the pit was revealed to them:
There is a long spear stuck at the bottom of this deep pit, and electric arcs that can shatter the earth are jumping "sizzling" on the gun.
This style of spear is not the ordinary spear used by Onoga's rangers, but a "lance" specially made for the heavy armored knights who charge into battle.
Moreover, the streamlined body of this lance is engraved with many ancient runes, and the glorious shell seems to be covered with a layer of gold powder. It is simply an ancient and expensive work of art.
"It's really strange. Can the elites of the orcs actually infiltrate here?"
In the astonished sight of the five wolf-headed men, the gilded lance levitated out of thin air and automatically returned to its owner's hands.
The owner of the lance is a knight in golden armor wearing a gold mask. He holds a cross square shield in one hand and a gilt lance in the other. He rides a white horse with a pair of white wings and a sharp horn on his head.
, hovering over these wolf-headed men.
This knight with overwhelming power and pure holy aura seemed to be descending from heaven at this moment. The five wolf-headed men looked up at him. After feeling the terrifying power in the knight, no one dared to act rashly.
The knight in golden armor and his incredible mount looked down at the five wolf-headed men below from a high position in the air, as if they were looking at five ants.
Then several knights in shining armor came out of the forest, and a young knight headed by them raised his head and shouted to the knight in shining armor in the sky: "Lord Barek, there is no need for you to do it yourself here, just leave it to us.
"
The strange white horse that the knight in shining armor sits on is the legendary sacred natural animal - the unicorn. The unicorn is not only extremely rare, but also marks the identity of its owner.
Paladin - Barrack Hilton. This Paladin Barrack, known as "Pegasus Walker", has extremely high mobility because of his unique mount. It is said that he once crossed the entire continent in a week, maybe
For this reason, this paladin’s orders are more frequent than other paladins and are easier to know. So much so that when people today describe the paladins in their impressions, they would say they are a group of “riding pure white unicorns.”
"God-man".
Originally, in accordance with the instructions of the Holy See and the request of Noah's military, he was supposed to go to the Ghost Mountain Fortress to suppress the Behemoth Legion sent by the orcs. However, due to the emergence of the backbone of the "Smiling Puppet", Mingdie, Bishop Steele made a special trip to prevent an accident.
Send a message asking him to come here for support.
"Haha, they are the silver wolf warriors carefully selected by the wolf-headed tribe. They still have some strength. Don't be careless and embarrass me and Mr. Steele! Doronka."
Barek deliberately controlled the power and position when throwing the lance just now, just to save the survivor. He did not want to kill these wolf-headed men, just to give his descendants a chance to practice.
"Oh, sir, it's up to you!"
After experiencing the blow of the battle with Mingdie, this young knight has now become more willing to fight. He really needs a hearty battle to wash away the shame he has experienced.
Doronka drew his sword and approached the five silver wolf warriors. With the arrival of this knight, the five wolf-headed men involuntarily moved closer to each other. They all felt that this silver-armored knight was an extremely dangerous existence.
"Don't think about who is in front or behind."
Dolonka pointed the tip of his sword at the face of a silver wolf warrior, and regardless of whether the five wolf-headed men understood his words, he shouted loudly: "Five of you, come together!"
The act of pointing a weapon at an opponent's face is a common provocation among all tribes. These five Silver Wolf warriors are elites in their tribe after all. Faced with this kind of provocation, they will not hesitate to use the weapons in their hands.
Blade responded.
"Kaikku! (Kill!)"
The five silver wolf warriors roared together, and they attacked the knight in silver armor on horseback with murderous intentions.
Ha, that's right.
Facing the five menacing silver wolf warriors, Dolonka not only panicked but closed his eyes, as if waiting for death and allowed these wolf-headed men to approach quickly.
Then, just as these wolf-headed men rushed just one step away from him, the dim triangular rune on Dolonka's forehead suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
"cut!"
Dolonka shouted angrily, and with his right hand holding the sword, he swung a sword light that was so fast that only white light remained at the wolf-headed men.
Five silver wolf warriors were struck in the chest by the sword almost at the same time. They covered their chests and knelt down under the knight's horse.
"What a bunch of useless bastards."
Dolonka looked disdainfully at these five wolf-headed men whose vitality was rapidly passing away. The so-called orc elites were not his enemies. This simple battle was over. He put away his sword and prepared to turn his horse.
Return to the group behind.
boom!
Suddenly there was a burst of thunder behind Dolonka, and he turned around in surprise: a silver wolf warrior was half-kneeling behind him with a burning smell and jumping electricity. The wolf-headed man held his long head high.
The knife seemed ready to be thrown out, but now
It could do nothing. In the end, the dying orc warrior could only glare at the golden knight and Doronka in the air. Even though it was unwilling to do anything, it still fell. The silver wolf warrior instinctively fell on the ground.
After convulsing twice, he completely lost his breath.
"Dolonka, you are still careless. Never underestimate your enemy. Since you are going to take action, don't leave any hidden dangers."
After speaking, the knight in golden armor shook the lance in his hand. Four thunderbolts rolled down from the tip of the lance. These thunderbolts accurately hit the other four silver wolf warriors on the ground. The flesh and armor of the wolf-headed man were instantly roasted.
Rotten to ensure their complete death.
"Yes, Lord Barek, I will strictly follow your teachings."
Facing the reprimand of "Pegasus Walker" Barek, the arrogant Dolonka had no temper at all.
"This man is really lucky. He would have been damned if he was a little late."
The priest in the knight team was treating Fano, who had fainted from fright. After all, he was a high-level cleric. He could also be the chief priest in a local temple and could preside over the ceremony. His healing skills could completely cure this person.
"How is it? How is this person's condition?" Dolonka was not in a good mood after being scolded, but at this time he had nowhere to vent so he turned his attention to the survivor.
"It's okay. His injuries have been treated and it's only a matter of time before he wakes up."
This Templar, who is a priest, is very attentive to Fano's treatment, and basically leaves no hidden dangers. However, because Fano has suffered too much mental trauma before, he must take good care of himself, so this Templar
Nor did he forcefully awaken his already fragile soul.
"He should have companions, right? But it looks like they are all dead." Doronka shook his head helplessly. As strong men, they have the power to reverse most tragedies, but it is a pity that they cannot be there before any tragedy occurs.
Most of the time, only one or two survivors can be rescued like this, and it's not unusual for them to arrive and it's too late to do anything.
Phew!
"Who is this horse?" Dolonka and other knights' eyes were attracted by a sturdy black horse.
Phew!!
The black horse neighed and ran back and forth impatiently in front of the knights, as if it wanted to express something.
"It tells you to follow it."
The paladin in the air smiled and continued: "There are interesting things ahead. You'd better hurry up, otherwise everything will be over."
Barek had good vision in the air, and everything that was happening in the forest was visible to him.
"Can these people survive the siege of the wolf-headed men until now? It's really good."
The scene of the adventurers who were attacked was naturally in Barek's eyes, but these adventurers were basically at the end of their rope, and only a few of them could stand and continue fighting.
In order to save the lives of the last few adventurers, Barek chose to set off directly.
"Lord Barek." Doronka saw Barek suddenly leaving from the top of the team and wanted to call him.
"Just follow this dark horse and I will take care of it right away."
At this distance, if he wanted to catch up with him in time, he would have to move forward at full speed. The paladin held up a magical shield around his body, and the unicorn flapped its wings quickly. After a few breaths, a huge roar came from his moving position, and then
When he came down, only the afterimages he left behind could be seen in the air, while his body had already reached further places.
He is indeed a man who can cross the continent in a week. It is indeed difficult for anyone to match such a speed of movement.
"Master Dolonka, what should we do now? Should we wait here for Master Steele and the others?"
"No, let's follow this black horse. I want to see where it wants to take us." Dolonka raised his whip and ran after the black horse. The knights behind him sighed helplessly and immediately raised their whips to follow.
superior……
Nursha's third attack seemed to be no different from the previous attack, but when the boy dodged again, he saw the clues.
"hateful!"
The real target of this knife was not him, but the sisters behind him.
He got out of the way, but this also meant that he abandoned the sisters.
The strong wind of the knife struck at Nia. The girl in the white dress raised her head and looked at the oncoming sharp blade, with only confusion in her eyes.
This scene seems familiar.
That night, he accepted her push from behind with such peace of mind, and ran out the door on his own.
Then he stood outside the door that symbolized "freedom" and did nothing as he watched the girl who had become his most trusted person being dragged by those ugly claws... into the abyss with no end in sight.
Now, the legs that deserved to be severed were just as firmly fixed in place as they were then, no matter how much he screamed in his heart, he could not move even half a step.
His subconscious was telling him that the right choice was to "run away" and just "stand by".
But...who wants to be such a coward again!
"Nia!! Ugh!"
At the critical moment, the boy rushed towards the girl, using his thin body to protect the sisters from Nursha's knife.
The huge impact made the young man feel as if his body was split into two halves. In the severe pain, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and the bright red liquid sprayed on the girl's smooth face.
"Verus...? You, what's wrong with you!"
At this time, the girl's originally ashen eyes finally regained their luster. She looked at the seriously injured boy in surprise and hurriedly wiped away the blood from the corners of the boy's mouth with both hands.
"You girl finally woke up...ahem,"
Seeing that the girl had regained her consciousness, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile appeared on his tense face. However, he couldn't help but cough up blood again and could not maintain his composure.
"Um…?"
Nursha frowned again. Obviously this knife should be able to cut off the young man and the pair of sisters under him, but he felt like he was cutting on steel. But even if it is a piece of steel, it should be cut off here.
It broke when hit.
"This sword of yours is interesting."
Nursha looked at the object wrapped in white cloth on the boy's back, and it was this object that he had struck with his knife just now.
There was no doubt that a slit had been cut out of the outer white cloth, and the main body of the object was exposed. On the young man's back was a sheathed long sword, but his sword only cut there.
Nursha's waist sword is an enchanted weapon. It can cut copper and iron easily, but it can only leave a shallow mark on the scabbard of the sword.
So what kind of magic weapon would be contained in the scabbard made of this material?
"Is this what makes you dare to challenge me? I admit that if you can use this weapon, it may be possible."
Nursha watched the boy protect the girl as he expected. He originally wanted to end it with a knife, but such an unexpected appearance really surprised him.
The boy gasped and whispered into the girl's ear: "Nia, wait a minute...run quickly."
Before waiting for the girl's response, the boy covered his aching chest and climbed up, turning to face Nursha.
"Can you still stand up? Yes, I will let you walk happily." There was a hint of admiration in Nursha's eyes. The humans he met recently seemed to be such tough-minded people, which was really interesting.
"I will say the same thing to you in return." The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his voice seemed weak after suffering severe injuries.
This sword is indeed his trump card. He used the sword to withstand the blow of the giant wolf just now, but he was still able to withstand the huge impact. The young man felt that there might be a crack in his spine, but he
The fact that he can barely move now is also the result of his body being strengthened by the power of the black ball. His previous physical strength would probably have shattered his internal organs.
"Verus, leave quickly! Don't worry about me."
Nia struggled to get up from the ground. She knew that she was a burden. If the boy was willing to give up on her, he should be able to escape alone.
"You run away...Nia, everything is my own choice."
The young man held a dagger in his hand and continued this battle of disparity in strength with a firm gaze.
"I will not let this girl run away. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it." Nursha smiled cruelly. As long as either of the two dared to turn around and run away, he was sure to strike with a knife.
kill.
"Oh? Really?"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Nursha. However, Nursha did not expect that the young man would take the initiative and was caught off guard by him.
The young man's dagger stabbed Nursha in the abdomen. Nursha immediately dodged sideways and struck the young man on the head with his sharp wolf claws.
The young man only had time to scratch his chest before he had to jump away, but that was enough.
"Is this your thing? It seems quite important to be able to carry it with you."
The boy had noticed before that there was a piece of parchment that looked like a map in the chest pocket of the giant wolf. It was obviously not an ordinary item to be carried by this cautious wolf-headed leader.
"Come back! You thief!"
Nursha slapped his chest and became furious when he realized that his map was indeed in the hands of this human boy.
"Do you want it? Then come and get it yourself! Slow down and I'll chew it up and eat it."
The young man was overjoyed to know that his bet was right. He grabbed the sheepskin map and waved it in front of Nursha, and signaled to the girl that the time had come.
The boy turned around and ran towards the other end of the forest, and Nursha, who was worried that all his hard work over the past few days would be ruined, had to follow closely.
No matter what the outcome is now, at least the girl is safe.
All that's left is to settle the accounts between myself and this giant wolf...
Is it time to meet the brothers?
The strong man with two axes grabbed a spear in one hand and a long sword in the other, continuing this battle with no chance of winning.
His double axes had already been completely left on the body of the gray-haired wolf-headed man when he chopped it down, and now he was fighting with his companion's weapons.
The four adventurers who originally fought alongside him were all killed. He could not see any other companions who were still fighting like him. Maybe everyone was dead, or maybe the living ones had escaped.
But it doesn't matter, now - he just wants to kill!
"Ah! Ah!!"
The strong man roared angrily and collided with the two wolf-headed men who had hammered his companions into pulp in front of him.
The maces in the hands of the two wolf-headed men hit him, but he endured the pain and pierced the bodies of the two wolf-headed men with the sword and spear in his hand.
"Go to hell!!"
He roared loudly and stirred the weapon into the bodies of the two wolf-headed men as if venting the anger in his chest.
In the end, the two wolf-headed men looked at this demon-like human in horror, and hammered his body with their maces, beating his body out of its original shape.
However, the strong man still won. The two wolf-headed men's counterattacks became weaker and weaker. Finally, they lost their vitality and dropped their weapons and fell backwards.
But the strong man who won the victory also fell down, and his life also came to an end.
The wolf-headed warriors were infected by the strong man's ferocity. Even though the strong man was on the verge of death, they still retreated.
"Rang Niu?"
Putmark saw the strong man through the gap between the wolf-headed men. He called out the strong man's nickname in the team, and the strong man also saw him.
"Boss, boss? Are you still alive?"
"Rangniu..."
"Boss, I have killed enough this time. I killed three wolf cubs."
"Rang Niu."
"But taking into account other brothers, I am still far from..."
Kill enough.
The strong man could not finish his last words, when a wolf-headed warrior stepped forward and stabbed him in the heart, completely ending his life.
"Reckless cow!!"
Another familiar life passed away in front of him, but there was nothing else Putmark could do except roar.
The steel-armored wolf-headed man mocked contemptuously in front of him, mocking his weakness and his incompetence.
Yes, this is the original appearance of this world.
The strong decides everything, while the weak can only huddle in a corner and cry.
The most helpless thing in this world is that no matter how hard you try, you will inevitably become a "weak". There will always be someone stronger than you, and there will always be times when you are beyond your capabilities.
This is a world where the weak eat the strong. This world is so cruel and so...real.
"I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to challenge you."
Putmark's hands holding the broadsword became tighter, and his gaze on the steel-armored wolf-headed man became determined.
"Um?"
The steel-armored wolf-headed man looked at the opponent in front of him in surprise. He could feel that there seemed to be something different about this human warrior.
"Then, I will use all my skills to fight you!"
Putmark roared, waving his broadsword and clashing with the steel-armored wolf-headed man again.
"Are you and me alone? Captain."
Vice-captain Kallen looked around and found that there were no adventurers still fighting on her side. When she was desperate, she heard Putmark's battle cry and understood that there was at least one person fighting with her. The fighting spirit in her eyes dimmed.
After all, she is the second adamantium-level adventurer besides Putmark, and she must maintain her dignity as an adamantium-level adventurer and a human warrior no matter what.
Dozens of wolf-headed men surrounded the last two adventurers. These two people had no chance of winning, but they both had the consciousness to fight until the last moment.
"Okay, you did a good job. I can feel your will. Maybe it's God's will that you survive!"
A powerful male voice came from the sky, and the powerful pressure above made the wolf-heads and adventurers present involuntarily stop their movements.
At this time, there was a knight in golden armor hovering in the sky above them. He was riding a Pegasus and looked down at all living beings from high in the sky, as if he were a god who was about to judge the sins of the world.
"It's the Paladin?!" Kallen looked at the knight in golden armor in the sky in disbelief. She recognized this existence that in her mind only existed in legends.
The Holy See of Light selected 600 people with both strength and character from many believers of Light and named them Templar Knights.
The top 100 knights among the six hundred Templar Knights will enter the Templar Ranking, so they are also called Templar Knights or Ranking Knights.
Among the hundred elites, the strongest among the strong, only the most influential and absolute combatants are likely to be awarded the highest honor of "Paladin" by the Pope and the exclusive title.
Every Paladin is a legend, and their existence represents the highest combat power of mankind.
When a paladin is crowned on the top of the Holy Mountain, the three holy cities will celebrate for seven days, and thousands of believers will use all the beautiful words to praise the great achievements that the paladin has created.
Is the knight in golden armor in the sky really the legendary "Paladin"? The doubt in Karen's heart disappeared after a moment.
"Sinful orcs! Only by accepting the nine-day thunder punishment can you wash away your sins!"
The knight in golden armor waved the lance in his hand, and countless thunderbolts hit the wolf-headed people on the ground.
Most of the wolf-headed men were turned into charred corpses by the thunder before they could figure out the situation. Only a few wolf-headed men got down in time before the thunder fell. The terrifying and destructive thunders did not destroy them.
They were killed instantly.
"Temporarily hiding will not allow you to escape judgment, accept your fate!"
The dense thunder net just now fell again, and no one of the remaining wolf-headed men was spared. They were all turned into charcoal amid desperate screams.
What an overwhelming force this is?!
Those ferocious wolf-headed men were no different from ants in the eyes of this knight in golden armor, and they were wiped out in a snap of his fingers.
Besides the "Paladin", who else can do it?
Paladin Barek slowly fell from the sky. After the thunder net wiped out all the wolf-headed men below, the two adventurers in it were unscathed, which further illustrates Barek's terrifying control as a Paladin.
.
"You, you are..."
Regardless of whether it was Putmark or Kallen, neither of them could organize a conversation with this legendary being for a while.
"You are now safe. Someone will handle the matter here soon. I am not good at healing. Just let the priest who comes from behind treat your injuries."
Barek let the unicorn fall to the ground, but he did not get off his mount. Although he had a noble status, this was not the reason why he did not go down to talk to the two adventurers. But he had already seen that
These two adventurers were too shocked by their existence. If I went to the ground to talk to them on an equal footing, I would probably make them confused.
In the past, overly excited believers fainted in front of him, so Barek would try to keep a distance from these ordinary people.
"This, this..."
The two of them looked at the paladin and didn't know what to say. In the end, only Kallen managed to say "thank you".
"It's nothing. I still have things to do. You can just sort out the remains of your companions here. They should not have turned into ashes."
Barek saw that these two people were too nervous in front of him, and there was nothing else to do here, so he left on Pegasus.
"Is this the power of the Paladin?" Putmark covered his head and squatted on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"That gentleman didn't say that he was a Holy Knight." Kallen's face was also pale. After all, she would never be able to deal with it calmly for the rest of her life.
"It can't be wrong, right? No one except the Paladin is qualified to wear the coat of arms on that person." Putmark found himself fearful.
It was clear that the Holy Knight was his savior, but the most intuitive feeling he had for him was not "gratitude" but "fear". That power was so terrifying that it made Putmark's concept of power in this world
All collapsed.
The steel-armored wolf-headed man who was fighting to the death with him just now was turned into ashes by lightning. If this lightning hits him, there will be no exception, right?
From this day on, the adventurer Putmark understood:
Perhaps only this kind of existence is qualified to occupy the stage of the strong in this world...
The boy spread his legs and ran with all his strength, and Nursha was approaching quickly like the wind.
Although this giant wolf had the advantage in terms of speed, the boy's movements were too flexible. Whenever Nursha planned to chop off his head with a knife or grab his neck with his claws, the boy would always look like
He dodged in time as if he had eyes on his back, and Nursha was helpless for a moment.
There was a loud sound of running water ahead. This deafening sound was not the sound that ordinary rivers can make. It was like the sound of tens of tons of water being thrown from a high place. That is to say, there was a lot of water ahead.
There may be a waterfall.
Oops!
If there is a waterfall in front of him, it means he will have no way to escape.
"Ugh!!"
He felt a sharp tearing pain in his shoulder, and the boy couldn't help but moan. Because he was distracted by the situation in front of him, he was accidentally slapped on the shoulder by Nursha's claw.
"Why are you so stunned? Boy, aren't you good at running?"
Nursha shook off the flesh and blood on the wolf's claws, and the coldness in his eyes became stronger as he lost his patience.
After the boy staggered forward and ran two more steps, he discovered that there was indeed a waterfall in front of him. It was impossible for him to continue running. In this situation where the enemy was pressing on him at every turn, whether he jumped into the river or the waterfall, he couldn't.
It is seeking death.
"Haha, I don't want to run anymore."
Since there is no way to escape, then don't escape.
The young man drew his dagger, turned around and rushed towards Nursha.
When Nursha saw that the young man was trying to do his old trick again, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, then he held his sword across his body and struck at him.
The attack of this giant wolf is very serious, once it is hit, it will die.
But this young man was like a feather moving in the wind, dancing on the edge of a sharp knife without being touched at all.
This is the "Corning Sashimi". Ming Die's strange body skills are burned into his heart. Although Nursha's attack power is strong, he is still the more flexible one.
Nursha frowned again. The young man successfully approached him again. With his strength, he could easily kill this human being, but he felt as helpless as hitting a fly with a cannon.
Damn it, is your skin so thick?
The young man thrust his dagger into Nursha's lower back, but his dagger could only stop on the skin and could not cause actual damage to Nursha.
The feeling of stabbing this giant wolf is completely different from that of other wolf-headed men. Other wolf-headed men are equivalent to a piece of old cowhide. Although they are old and tough, they can still be pierced with one full force. However, the outer skin of this giant wolf is as if it is made of iron.
, the young man could not hurt it with the dagger in his hand.
Ouch!
Nursha suddenly roared, and an ancient totem appeared on his body.
"Ugh!"
After Nursha used the ancestral totem, a surge of power emerged from his body, and the boy was forced back by the air waves around him.
Ouch!!
Just when the boy was unable to react due to the impact of the air wave, Nursha grabbed the boy's collar and lifted him into the air. The boy had an unpleasant premonition in his heart. As a result, the giant wolf really
Throw yourself to the ground hard.
"Uh-huh!! Huh? It doesn't hurt very much."
With a loud bang, the boy was hit on the ground. It was obvious that a hole was made in the ground, but he did not feel any pain.
"This is... a protective necklace?"
The young man looked at his body and found that his whole body was wrapped in a mana shield. The blue arcs flowing around outside his body had a familiar feeling. The young man reached out to his neck, and the necklace that had lost its luster was caught in the palm of his hand.
, this is the guardian necklace that Heimer left for himself at the end. I remember that when Heimel gave the necklace to himself, he said that the power of this necklace can be used once.
"Oh, you are really strong." The young man stood up from the ground again. At this time, he had no reason to give up.
The guardian necklace that can protect the wearer from fatal blows is suddenly activated at this time. Does this mean that if he didn't have this necklace, he would have died?
Lord Knight, I owe you my life again.
Nursha was a little surprised when he saw the mana shield pouring out of the boy, but he was used to it. This human boy had indeed brought him too many surprises. If he said that he was really a prophecy, Nursha would believe it now.
.
"Do you still want to struggle? You can't be my opponent."
After using the ancestral totem, Nursha's power has reached a new level. He was no longer something this boy could fight against before, and now this boy has no chance of winning.
"How will you know if you don't work hard?" The young man smiled and took off the long sword from behind.
General, please lend me your strength.
The young man grasped the hilt of the long sword with all his strength, trying to unsheath this magical weapon that had killed countless creatures in the hands of heroes.
However... the sword body seemed to be locked in the scabbard. No matter how hard the boy tried, he could not pull the sword out of the scabbard.
There's a reason why Heimer didn't use Venacodo's sword even after his own sword broke...
The sword owned by Wei Nakodo is called "Phantom Fire". It is one of the ten famous swords collected by the Bauhinia family. The forger is unknown. There is no record of this swordsmith in any book, but in
Among the ten famous swords, this "Phantom Fire" has the most destructive power. It can cut gold and rubble easily. When used, it will be assisted by fire spirits. According to legend, the soul of a giant lava beast was sealed by the swordsmith.
It is precisely because this sword has its own soul that it cannot be used by those who are not recognized by it. This is also the reason why the orcs did not take away this sword after the fall of Wenarcodo.
Heimer and the others were able to successfully take the sword away because of the sword's own will, but in the eyes of this sword, no one among these people was qualified to be its master, including this black-haired boy.
"Oh? Why don't you pull out the sword?"
Nursha stood there and did not stop the boy's actions. After all, he was also curious about how powerful this sword was and whether it could make this human boy rival himself who now uses the "ancestral totem".
"Damn it... Although I am a little disappointed, I think this is enough."
The young man held the hilt of the sword with both hands and simply used the sheathed sword to fight Nursha.
In order to support the heavy sword, the boy's arms were shaking.
This sword is not suitable as a weapon at all.
"Haha! Are you looking down on me?"
Nursha rushed towards the boy, and the boy wanted to block with his sword, but the sword was too heavy, and this clumsy sword swing seemed so ridiculous to Nursha.
clang!!
The power of the giant wolf's sword was too great. In order to prevent his hands from dislocating, the boy had no choice but to let go and let the "phantom fire" fly out along with the force.
After the "Phantom Fire" spun in the air for several times, it was stably inserted into the mud ten meters away. It seemed that there was no chance of getting it back.
After losing the useless long sword, the boy replaced the dagger in his hand. He took the initiative to attack Nursha again. The power of the protective necklace on his body had not dissipated. If he wanted to fight, he could only take advantage of now.
The guardian necklace not only added a layer of mana shield to him, but also increased his speed. The boy's movements were much faster than before.
"Is that all? Boy."
Nursha stretched out his claws towards the boy, and the boy immediately dodged away, but then he seemed to have bumped into Nursha's hands, and Nursha grabbed his throat.
Just like the boy can predict Nursha's movements, Nursha can also predict his movements. It is not only the boy who has gained the power of the guardian necklace who has become stronger, but also Nursha's various abilities using the "ancestral totem".
All have been enhanced.
"Verus!"
The girl's voice sounded not far away, and the boy reluctantly turned his head and saw Nia's figure by the woods.
"Quick...go."
Didn't I let you go? Why are you back again?
The young man smiled helplessly. Even if he wanted to scold the girl, he was powerless now.
This giant wolf was indeed an enemy that he could not defeat despite all his efforts. He could only bow to reality.
"Haha, very good, I will strangle you to death right here, and then kill the girl."
Nursha took back his map from the boy in his hand, then grabbed the boy's neck and brought him to the edge of the waterfall.
"Come on...Nia, leave me alone."
The giant wolf exerted more and more force on his neck. If it weren't for the power of the protective necklace protecting him, his throat would have been crushed by now.
However, when the power of this shield finally ran out, as Nursha continued to increase his strength, the shield around the boy began to "sizzle", and it seemed that it would not last much longer.
"Verus..."
Nia looked at the dying boy in the hands of the giant wolf, and the faces of everyone in Difenni Village appeared in her mind.
Will the last person who treats me sincerely leave me?
How, how could...
A seemingly ordinary sheathed sword was stuck in the soil in front of her. Nia put her babbling sister on the ground and walked towards the sword as if she was possessed.
"Run! Silly girl."
The boy saw the girl's movements, but he knew it was all in vain. How could such a delicate girl be recognized by "Phantom Fire"?
However, Nia walked up to "Phantom Fire", and before her hands touched the hilt of the sword, "Phantom Fire", which had been indifferent before, suddenly let out an excited sword cry!
The girl shouted loudly with the strength she had never shown before: "How can you take away everything I want!"
Nia grasped the hilt of the "Phantom Fire" sword and pulled this proud magic weapon out of the scabbard with great ease.
Obviously this sword should be extremely heavy, but Niya felt extremely light in her hand, as if the sword in her hand was tailor-made for her.
"Verus, you have to know that I also want to try my best to protect you!"
Nia held the hilt of the sword with both hands and pointed the tip of the sword at the giant wolf's waist.
She didn't have any good swordsmanship, and it could even be said that this was her first time holding a sword, so the girl grabbed the hilt of the sword and rushed towards the giant wolf that was about to end the boy's life without any plan and with extreme recklessness.
"Um?!"
Nursha lost his left eye, and he could not observe what was happening on his left side. It was a blind spot for him.
He could only hear the girl's screams, but he didn't know what the girl was doing. He only thought that the girl was probably stabbing him with something, but how could such a soft girl hurt him?
Nursha smiled disdainfully and tightened the muscles in his waist. Even if a human warrior tried his best to slash at this place, he could not be injured.
"Ugh!! Bakunoska?! (This is impossible?!)"
Severe pain spread out in Nursha's waist. The sword in the girl's hand cut through Nursha's leather armor like a hot knife cutting cheese and penetrated his thick fur and rock-hard muscles.
, and finally came out from Nursha's waist and pierced his belly.
Nursha's own leather armor was made of iron rat skin, which was stronger than ordinary metal armor, but it was still pierced by the sword.
"Oh, let's go down!"
Naturally, Nursha, who was severely injured, could not maintain the strength in his hand. As soon as he let go, the boy jumped out of Nursha's hand.
Before landing, the boy did not forget to kick Nursha.
Nursha was already unstable due to serious injuries. After being kicked by the boy, he could no longer stand. He staggered and fell towards the waterfall.
Niya gasped and pulled the sword out of Nursha's waist. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. Normally she would not be able to do such a thing.
"Nia..."
The boy turned to look at the weak girl, and when he was about to say something, Nia suddenly widened her eyes and shouted to him: "Verus, watch your back!"
"Well?!"
Nursha, who was about to fall down the waterfall, suddenly turned around, grabbed the boy's ankles, and took the boy and herself to the waterfall that was tens of meters high and fell down.
"Domedirsachenoa! (Come down with me!)"
Nursha laughed ferociously and pulled the boy into the deep stream like a mad dog.
"Verus!!"
Nia threw the sword aside and rushed toward the waterfall, trying to grab the boy's outstretched hand.
The two people's fingertips successfully touched each other. At this time, the boy smiled, said "Goodbye!" to the girl, and then fell down the cold water curtain with the giant wolf.
"don't want!"
The girl's hands were grabbing something in the air, but it was in vain. She could only watch the boy fall and then disappear in the bright red water below.
"Um...wuwu, why...how could this happen?"
Nia's whole body was wet by the current. After landing, she squatted on the shore and cried bitterly.
Am I the only one left in the end? Why are the gods in this world so ruthless? Isn’t the God of Light who created everything the most benevolent and kind-hearted?
The young man said feebly: "Hey...Nia, you will catch a cold like this."
"Uh?! Verus? Is that you?"
Nia wiped her tears and stood up immediately. She looked at this young man who had changed his appearance in disbelief.
"It's me, that's right. I'm neither an illusion nor a soul looking for you to say goodbye. Don't worry."
The young man smiled, looked at the pool of blood under the waterfall, and said as if announcing something:
