In the deep pit and pool of blood, the lower half of the 'Shepherd's' body was already in pieces.
Among them, including the head and most of the chest, it looked like a puddle of meat, just like a bag of dumpling fillings that had fallen to the ground.
A normal person would have already died in such a situation.
But the 'shepherd' is different.
Not only was the other party not dead.
Still alive and kicking,
His legs and hands were still shaking.
Especially the ten fingers are moving at an extremely fast speed.
It even brought up afterimages.
That is……
Handprints!
Mudras are indispensable when performing most secret arts!
"Stop him!"
The 'Knight of Knowledge' shouted and waved a sword energy, and ten first-generation dragon vein warlocks fired fireballs in succession.
Can……
Useless!
Whether it was sword energy or fireball, they all disappeared without a trace the moment they touched the 'shepherd'.
It seems as if it never existed at all.
The 'shepherd', who had lost his head and chest, stood up.
Staggering, blood splattered everywhere.
After the other party turned around in a circle——
Snapped!
He just fell to his knees.
It's not that I'm powerless, nor that I have no way to support myself.
Instead, pray!
Prayer with folded hands.
There was a being with no head, most of the chest, and only a small part of the body, with his hands clasped in front of his chest in prayer.
This look is indescribably weird.
It was as if a chicken that had been plucked and had its head cut off stood up again from the chopping board.
A trace of coldness circulated in the hearts of the five knights, the ten first-generation dragon warlocks and Siwok VII.
The unique inspiration of the 'mysterious side people' caused them to attack in their strongest way.
Sword energy.
Blow.
flame.
Layers upon layers of them, densely packed, hit the ‘shepherd’ who was kneeling there.
Ripples appeared.
All these attacks have disappeared.
However, the ripples are getting bigger and bigger.
At first it was just the size of a millstone, covering the front of the 'shepherd', but after a breath, the ripples became as big as a house, and a thick translucent tentacle couldn't wait to 'stretch' in, heavily
The ground hit the defense built by [Holy Shield].
boom!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook.
The floor of the conference hall was completely shattered.
Finely broken stones began to sputter due to the force.
The bright light began to shake violently.
Although it finally stabilized, everyone's faces were extremely ugly.
Not only because the brilliance of the [Holy Shield] began to dim, but also because the ripples became larger, already covering the sky above the entire conference hall, and then, more thick, translucent ones, with roots
The barbed tentacles stretched out.
These tentacles came crowded together.
The next moment, these tentacles bloomed like flowers.
But there is no sense of beauty at all.
There is only endless ferocity and evil.
These translucent tentacles full of barbs began to resemble a web spun by a spider, covering the entire conference hall.
Then, it keeps adding up.
Between breaths.
The entire conference hall became airtight.
Only the evil roar was left.
Every sound is like a screwdriver being inserted into a person's brain and starting to stir.
"Have you ever seen true power?"
"no?"
"I will show you true power!"
At some point, the 'shepherd' who had returned to normal roared loudly.
He looked at these translucent tentacles with enthusiasm.
Woo!
The translucent tentacles as thick as bridge piers smashed down again.
This time, it's not just one.
Followed closely by dozens of tentacles of varying thicknesses.
The 'Knight of Knowledge' and 'Knight of the Hammer' gritted their teeth and launched an attack on the thickest tentacle.
The remaining three knights were in a daze.
The ten first-generation Dragon Vein Warlocks were completely sluggish.
They were caught in the horror of the evil before them.
Their will began to twist.
Several fourth-level Dragon Vein Warlocks have begun to pinch their necks with both hands, and even if their tongues are stuck out, they have no intention of stopping.
"hold fast!"
Siwok VII shouted loudly.
This loud shout seemed like an inspiring shout, and it instantly woke up three knights and ten first-generation Dragon Vein Warlocks.
They shook their heads and quickly regained their composure.
"Ah."
"In vain."
"Pointless struggle!"
The 'Shepherd' glanced at Siwok VII, as if he didn't care at all, and then looked behind him.
That's the direction of the square.
Although at this time, the conference hall had already been shrouded in layers of translucent tentacles, making it airtight.
However, everyone could still see four blurry figures running in the square outside.
"Oh, that's really good."
The 'shepherd' seemed to be praising him, but his eyes were filled with evil intentions.
No one can doubt the evil intentions of the 'shepherd'.
Immediately afterwards——
Woo!
A translucent tentacle as thick as a telegraph pole shot out from the layers of coverage and hit Taniel directly.
"armor!"
Siwok VII immediately raised his hand and pointed at Taniel.
Suddenly, an invisible force field began to cover Taniel's body.
boom!
After the tentacles as thick as telephone poles touched the invisible force field, they were bounced high, and the invisible force field was shattered.
but……
There was not only Taniel in the square, but also Rodney, Matthew, and Diabod.
There are also five thousand city defense troops.
There are also many spies.
And the translucent tentacle as thick as a telephone pole was smashed down again.
"Let's see how many you can protect!"
‘Shepherd’ sneered at Siwok VII.
call!
Siwok VII took a deep breath and opened his hands directly.
"Iron wall!"
"wait……"
The voices of Siwok VII and the 'Knight of Knowledge' sounded almost at the same time.
After the former's voice fell, a defensive force field covered almost everyone present.
Naturally including the ‘Knights of Knowledge’.
However, the 'Knight of Knowledge' was not happy at all.
On the contrary, the guardian knight looked worried.
Huchi, wheeze.
Even though Siwok VII gained great power and the 'Lord' was promoted to the sixth level, he was still exhausted after giving BUFF to so many people at once.
Every breath is like blowing a bellows.
The opposite is the laughter of the 'shepherd'.
Pride and contempt.
"How childish."
"I'm draining your energy."
"Can't you see?"
‘Shepherd’ mocked Siwok VII.
Not only does it destroy the body, but more importantly, it destroys the will.
Even, the latter is more important than the former.
Because, for professions like 'Knight' and 'Night Watch', will can sometimes change everything.
"I know!"
Siwok VII replied while gasping for air.
"Know?"
"Knowing that you still do this?"
"Are you a dummy?"
"Or do you want to act like a wise monarch?"
'Shepherd' continued to taunt.
"I am not a wise monarch."
"I just hope that as many people as possible survive."
"They shouldn't die in a conspiracy like this."
"That's all!"
Siwok VII answered, and at the same time, holding the coffin beside him with one hand, he slowly stood up straight.
The strong recovery power of the sixth-level 'professional' quickly calmed down his breathing.
Although it is still unable to create a large area of blessing BUFF, it is not as embarrassing as just now.
After Siwok VII stood up straight, he suddenly found a gem at his feet.
Messaging gem.
Siwok VII knew this kind of gem. Although the telephone was also very useful, under certain secrecy conditions, the communication gem was even more useful.
Moreover, this communication gem is already turned on.
This is?!
Siwok VII was stunned.
Then he saw the 'Knight of Knowledge' who was stopping the tentacles from falling and waved his hand gently.
There is no doubt that this is the work of the 'Knight of Knowledge'.
When, Siwok VII did not know.
But Siwok VII knew what the 'Knight of Knowledge' wanted to do.
The scene before them had already exceeded their expectations.
More people must join in.
Like ‘Night Watch’!
or……
People in the square outside.
Moreover, with the obstruction of the coffin, the 'shepherd' did not discover this communication gem at all.
As for the effect?
That's pretty good.
After getting rid of the erosion of the 'Shepherd', the city defense troops were initially confused. When the translucent tentacles appeared, they immediately panicked. However, when the force field shield appeared, these people immediately calmed down.
Especially when the voice of Siwok VII began to echo in the square, the eyes of these people changed even more.
boom!
A city defense soldier picked up the gun in his hand, pointed it at the translucent tentacle and pulled the trigger.
This shot.
Just like a flare gun.
The surrounding city defense troops raised their guns and fired at the tentacles covering the conference hall.
Bang bang bang!
There was a volley of gunfire.
It was then that the 'shepherd' realized something was wrong.
Siwok VII bent down and picked up the communication gem.
"go to hell!"
Suddenly, the 'shepherd' let out a low shout.
The translucent tentacles that were already smashing down like crazy became even more crazy.
Moreover, the ripples above the head are still growing.
Although the breathing time did not increase tenfold like at the beginning, this spreading trend has no intention of stopping at all.
Naturally, the bigger the ripples are, the more translucent tentacles squeeze in.
By this time, they were already densely hanging like vines in the conference hall.
With a low shout from the 'Shepherd', these translucent tentacles all lifted up.
The expressions of the people below suddenly changed.
Everyone knows what the 'shepherd' wants to do.
After the 'Knight of the Hammer' and 'Knight of Knowledge' looked at each other, the former took a deep breath.
Click, click!
Amidst the abnormal sound of muscles and bones, the whole body of the 'Hammer Knight' expanded twice at a speed visible to the naked eye, bursting the entire armor, and then the whole body started spinning like this.
And the war hammer in his hand rotated accordingly.
Woo, woo!
One circle, two circles.
After three rounds, the warhammer's rotation speed suddenly reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Strong winds began to surround the war hammer, quickly forming a tornado.
Those tentacles that had just been raised together were immediately drawn into the tornado.
Stab, sting.
Just like a meat grinder, these tentacles that seemed extremely hard before were smashed directly.
There is no blood.
There are no residual limbs.
What is there is just translucency turning into transparency.
The whole process lasted about fifteen seconds.
As the 'Hammer Knight' stopped, this tornado began to dissipate.
And most of the translucent tentacles squeezed out from the ripples disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the 'Hammer Knight', whose body was shaking due to exhaustion, showed a smile.
The 'knowledge knight' on the side also showed a smile.
However, the smiles on their faces froze immediately.
Because, under everyone's gaze, those translucent tentacles that disappeared actually 'grew' out again.
"Hahaha!"
"I told you, you have never seen real power!"
"Now!"
"Do you know what true power is?"
The 'Shepherd' laughed, and then his voice turned gloomy.
"Kill them for me!"
The translucent tentacles lifted up again.
But this time, there was no resistance from the 'Knight of the Hammer', the 'Knight of Knowledge' shouted.
"defense!"
boom!
The light on the [Holy Shield] flashes continuously.
Shaking constantly.
Then--
Snapped!
Broken directly.
Puff puff puff puff puff!
The 'Knight of Knowledge', 'Knight of the Hammer' and the three fifth-level knights immediately encountered backlash and all vomited blood.
Especially the 'Hammer Knight' who had just made a ferocious blow fell unconscious.
The translucent tentacles lifted up again.
Uncontrollable despair appeared on everyone's faces.
They knew very well that when these tentacles fell again, they would be shattered into pieces.
The ten 'Dragon Vein Warlocks' looked at each other.
With deep reluctance in their eyes, ten people gathered around Prince Ruitai.
Even if it means death...
They will also die by their father's side.
Seeing this scene, young Siwok VII walked over without hesitation.
Died with family.
It's a good choice.
pity……
"I'm sorry, uncle, I failed you."
"You have given me the best."
"But I..."
"Feel sorry."
Siwok VII said softly.
The 'Knight of Knowledge' handed over his friend 'Knight of the Hammer' to the three of Lidmuel. Then, the guardian knight tightened his grip on the rapier - even at the last moment, the guardian knight did not give up.
He wants to fight to the death.
The 'shepherd' looked at this scene and the corners of his mouth curled up under his hood.
Full of disdain.
He will direct the tentacles to smash down.
But, suddenly, the 'shepherd' thought of something.
Then, he stared at the 'Knight of Knowledge' who was still ready to resist, his eyes full of malice.
Snapped!
The 'Shepherd' snapped his fingers unhurriedly, and his translucent tentacles moved quickly.
Immediately afterwards, a person was dragged in.
yes……
Taniel.
"Your Excellency Ter, how about we play a game - as long as you stab yourself in the heart, I will spare his life, how about it?"
The 'shepherd' pointed at Taniel condescendingly and said with a smile.
