Headless Horseman Anian.
A high-level undead who was named Nightmare in Dix. This knight who lost his head was originally a powerful being who held an important position in Erebus. His name was famous throughout the circles of high-level undead and even Dix's senior officials.
——The strength and wisdom he possesses make him considered to be the most capable person to lead Erebus besides Erathes, the current leader of Erebus. This view is still the same even to this day by most people.
thought.
Until he becomes the "Headless Horseman".
No one knew what happened to him. When everyone saw him again, he already looked like this. Even when he was asked by his former colleagues, he did not answer, but laughed wildly as if he had not heard.
Walk away.
Anian lost his head, a serious injury that would kill even a high-level undead, but he survived in a strange way - the dark green soul fire exposed on his neck formed his head, these are the purest
The soul outlines the rough and ferocious facial features, and anyone who looks directly at it seems to have a terrifying feeling that the soul is gradually leaving the body!
While others were surprised, they didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that he had lost something indescribable. However, there were always good people who were dissatisfied with this attitude and tried to ask questions. They also encountered a cold reception, and then blocked him.
He tried to find an explanation in front of him.
Something unexpected happened.
The terrifying Headless Horseman used his ax spear to directly penetrate the chest of the busybody in front of him. The wide and thick blade and the tip of the spear used for thrusting were squeezed through his chest. The exquisite armor seemed to be unable to do anything.
Blocking this terrible weapon instantly strangled the unfortunate guy's dying words in his throat, and his whole body went limp.
Immediately, dark green soul fire ignited from the ax gun.
Wailing and roaring, the high-purity soul on the ax gun was ignited by this terrible flame. After struggling for a moment, it turned into the purest energy from the weapon and entered the body of the Headless Horseman.
Firewood was added to the soul fire, and it burned even more vigorously.
"Huhu...hahahahahahahahaha!"
He laughed wildly from the depths of his soul. This meaningless venting seemed to have become his only words. The body on the weapon that had lost its soul and power strangely turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind. The headless man who had done all this
The knight had no intention of stopping and continued to move in the direction he was heading before. Wearing the tattered armor that would no longer be replaced, riding his horse, he ran aimlessly forward and wreaked irrational destruction - everything that stood in his way
All obstacles in front of the horse's hooves will be destroyed by him!
It was only then that these people discovered that the feeling of having their souls sucked away was not an illusion at all.
Anian's soul core has been completely shattered, but the crystal that every member of Erebus wears and can absorb and digest the power of death has replaced it as his new core, constantly absorbing the soul and the power of death.
What supports him is no longer the ancient creed, but endless chaos and violence!
Death has become his definition at this moment.
His madness and obsession turned him into a nightmare that brought fear, running around Dix day and night.
Like a chariot that never stops.
The strength of the Headless Horseman increases as he aggressively devours souls. Anian, who was originally a legend, still retains the "field" of being a strong man, which is directly reflected in his surroundings - what he
Wherever he passes, there will be large tracts of frozen paths and some remnants of the ghostly green soul fire. No life contaminated by these will survive. Plants, animals, monsters, settlements, villages, and even towns, all the places he passes are...
I was dyed into a completely lifeless path to death by this guy!
This is how the first massacre caused by the Headless Horseman made the whole country of Dix panic.
For a time, this was not a plague, but a more terrifying existence, leaving indelible scars on this land.
The organization he once belonged to - Erebus, which is composed of advanced undead transformed from most of the strong men of Dix. As the symbol of the highest force of Dix, the sages hundreds of years ago had already foreseen the fate of the Dix people.
The talent will bring disasters, so this organization was established to protect Dix from being destroyed due to the overflow of undead. It was when the rumors of the Headless Horseman appeared that they began to send people to hunt down and liquidate this madman.
What you do.
"Order should be maintained."
Erathes whispered to all the members in a cold tone.
"Give justice to traitors who violate the creed."
While the Headless Horseman's wanted order was conveyed to the towns of the Principality of Dix, all the black warriors and lichs who had the strength to hinder or even compete with Anian were sent out.
However, it is a pity that this guy's whereabouts do not follow any rules. Sending people to pursue and investigate can only find destroyed ruins. Even if someone finds some clues, it will not help. The completely random behavior is not suitable for tracking at all.
We can only rely on intelligence from various places to carry out large-scale manhunts.
But soon, the dead gave up this plan.
Mage with strong spiritual power will inevitably fall into a state of frenzy when looking at the soul fire left behind by the passing of the Headless Horseman, and even the soul will disappear, not to mention those professionals who cultivate the body, because of the sudden appearance before they get close.
Falling into madness due to fear deep in his soul.
In other words, the intelligence network of ordinary people cannot be put to use at all. Losing the ability to convey information before obtaining it is putting the cart before the horse.
The information that allows us to have an intuitive understanding of Anian after losing his head is only the first and only record of witnessing and successfully fighting with him, which can barely be called a confrontation - this time the record was recorded with three people.
A near-legendary strong man died, and the image was restored through the feedback of the soul crystal brought back by the survivors.
That was when Anian had just passed through a border town. This sensitive area near the border with other countries was always monitored by a certain amount of manpower. When he discovered the direction of this guy's travel, the local magician who had already known the information immediately passed through.
The secret method was carried out and the men of Erebus were informed to intercept it.
However, until the nearest black warriors and lichs arrived at the fastest speed, this area was almost half destroyed. The crystal showed the scene from the perspective of survivors - the town was covered by a layer of frost.
Covered, the green soul fire was scattered and burning everywhere, and there seemed to be no living activities around.
The magician responsible for contacting the organization was strangled in the air, and the soul fire turned him into a green torch. His face was sometimes struggling and sometimes twisted in pain, accompanied by Anian's harsh laughter, and he turned into a torch without even wailing.
Strange ashes!
The furious Lich used hundreds of bone spears to directly form a barrage and flew towards it. The sharp and strong gray-white bones cut off the path of the Headless Horseman - a large forest was cut in half and smashed down hard.
, a tall and abrupt wall made of bone spears appeared in front of it, like wooden barriers sharpened against the cavalry!
The Headless Horseman seemed to turn a blind eye to these things, and continued to attack these protrusions with his ax gun.
A burst of sparks.
The ax gun did not cut off any of the bone spurs, and the terrifying hardness pushed Anian back a short distance through the shock.
The Headless Horseman stopped for the first time.
Immediately afterwards, he was surrounded by more bone spears, forming a concave terrain in an instant.
He spurred his horse and turned around, using his indescribable features to "look" at the guys who were forcing him to change his route.
In the picture fed back, the moment he looked in this direction, the image recorded by the crystal appeared turbid and chaotic, as if something was interfering with its operation.
But soon, the image stabilized, but what emerged was the result of the battle.
There were only three people left on the battlefield.
The headless horseman Anion, and the two black warriors of Erebus.
It is not known how long this battle lasted, and no one knows why the crystal holder from the main perspective was unable to move during this period of time. He could only continue to convey information from the perspective of a bystander.
The Lich, who had been fully fired before, had turned into a frozen skeleton, and the soul fire surrounding it looked particularly strange; the black warrior, who was covered in scars, was wrestling with Anian, and his body was already stained with a little soul fire.
, but another black warrior not far away was covering his neck - there was a hole there that was difficult to ignore, and if it hadn't been for the dead body, the blow would have been fatal!
The rune sword and ax gun were placed together, and the visible frost covered their bodies. The black warrior who endured the burning soul fire roared angrily, and the ice formed by death and frost wrapped the long sword.
It turned into a rough and deadly weapon, and the instantaneous burst of power knocked back the Headless Horseman. Then, the Black Warrior pounced on him, as if he was going to trade his life for his life!
"Huhahaha..." A deep laugh came from the headless knight's face made of soul fire, as if he was sarcastically sarcastic about how ridiculous and stupid the black warrior's fatal blow was!
The ax gun was suddenly turned, and the feeling that was enough to freeze the soul made the black warrior's movements suddenly slow down a lot, but this did not reduce the fighting spirit of the black warrior. Instead, he roared and burned his soul desperately, wanting to
At the expense of yourself, in exchange for the enemy's demise!
Not paying attention at all to the ax spear that stabbed his chest, the black warrior, with the consciousness of death, brandished the rune sword and stabbed the Headless Horseman in the heart!
But he did not die with the enemy as he imagined. Just before the ax and gun came, a giant sword flew from the side and lay in front of him! It should have penetrated his chest and shattered his soul core.
His ax spear penetrated the huge sword that suddenly appeared, only slightly piercing his waist, and his rune sword lost its accuracy due to this sudden change, shattering the headless knight's shoulder armor.
Caught off guard and suddenly attacked, he watched in surprise as his weapon left a medium-sized wound on the opponent's body. Then, he waved hard and missed Wu Tou.
A deep mark was cut out from the Headless Horseman's shoulder armor to his neck.
But it is obvious that this is not a fatal wound for it, or for all the dead.
"Huhu...hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Anian laughed wildly again.
He seemed not to care about the wounds on his body at all, and had no intention of chasing the black warrior, but let his beloved horse run again.
Soon, he disappeared from the crystal image.
It was hard to believe that the Headless Horseman simply let go of his black warrior. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, picked up his already injured partner, and walked towards the direction of the crystal step by step until he stretched out his hand.
Take this crystal away.
The image ends here.
The price paid was so great that the top management of Dix could not believe that the Headless Horseman had such great strength.
However, the words of the soul cannot lie, that is the fact.
They concealed the truth of the matter - turning the Headless Horseman Arnian into a legend, a story to tell citizens so that they could sleep peacefully at night.
The activity of the Book of the Dead reminds us again of these long-gone past events.
The Headless Horseman appeared in front of everyone again.
