Chapter 506: Nemesis

"Why does the Spear of Vengeance call itself 'we'?" Elise asked.

In sight, the spear of revenge easily jumped over the raised gravel and twisted tree roots on tiptoe, and with the ghost spear in one hand, he intercepted another knight with flying swiftness, and the rest of the knights did not know that they could not escape, and rushed and gathered from all directions to launch a counterattack.

"Because that's what makes her so special." Jeno's voice mingled with the sound of the horse's hooves: "When she died as Calista, she tried to preserve the fragments of Hekarim's betrayal, but for the centuries that followed, all that remained in her heart was a burning thirst for revenge. As a result, her definition of a betrayer broadens from Hecarim and the Iron Order to all those who commit betrayal. ”

Because of this, she can break through the limitations of space and be summoned by a vengeance oath to the side of the Oath, and kill the betrayer on his behalf, even if it is outside the Shadow Island. But the price of doing so is that the spirit of the contractor will be absorbed into Calista's body and become a part of her. Calista constantly responds to mortals' vows of revenge against her, absorbing vengeful spirits and helping them sanction their respective betrayers, and finally completely loses herself under the influence of thousands of vengeful spirits in her body. ”

As he spoke, the battle for the Spear of Vengeance was nearing its end.

A knight charged at her, a spear with a hooked blade eyebrow-raising. She threw her spear, using the counterforce of the spear to leap lightly out of range. The spear pierced the knight who passed closely, and before the knight could feel the pain, her steps were already moving towards the next enemy.

The spear that had pierced the knight turned into a black mist as the knight dissipated, and turned into a ghost spear in her hand again.

Tall, slender Callista is always on the move. She was able to defeat the legendary armed Templars during her lifetime, and even more so after her death.

She was at ease, turning sideways to concede each spear thrust and sword swing, disposing of each opponent in turn.

The Spear of Vengeance's combat has a different kind of beauty, precision and efficiency, which somewhat inspired Jeno's understanding of combat.

It turns out that the strategy of the art of war can also be integrated into the use of the body, through the coordination of the body.

It is necessary to distribute the functions of each part of the body in battle, attack with both hands, detect with both eyes, dodge with both legs, and be able to be invincible with three uses.

Of course, this will require a high level of combat experience and mental arithmetic ability, and Jeno will not be able to learn it in a short period of time. Although he has the Hex core to share the pressure of computing for him, the lack of experience is the hard wound that slows him down.

But Jeno learned something formal from the massacre.

Speaking of which, since the super electromagnetic hand cannon was unloaded, Jeno has been lacking a long-range means that can effectively snipe weak enemies, and if you use energy pulses at will to deal with this kind of enemy, it is inevitably a bit suspicious of wasting energy by shooting cannons and mosquitoes.

After watching the Battle of the Spear of Vengeance, Jeno felt that he could follow suit and use crystals to make spears or various projectiles to attack enemies from afar.

As for the lethality, there is no need to worry at all, the weapons thrown by Hex's assault are as powerful as siege ballistas.

The difficulty is that the right-handed Jeno has to train his left hand to be as flexible as his right hand to ensure the accuracy of his throwing. In addition, the crystal creation has the defect that it cannot be turned into energy recovery, but this is not to worry about, the crystal will not pollute the environment, and it can also be sold for money, even if it becomes a murder weapon stained with blood, it will be clean after washing.

Of course, the others didn't know that Jeno could think so much more in his head as he watched and said.

In the dark, they listened to Jeno explain the origin of the spear of revenge, and watched dizzily as she completed a precise slaughter, only to feel that their heads were running out.

"How does it feel a bit like some folklore I've heard?"

Watching the spear of revenge finish dealing with the enemy and walking towards the castle, Elise asked thoughtfully, her back giving Elise a sense of déjà vu.

"The legend of Nemesis?" Sarah and Elise thought about it together and found common ground.

Jeno directly said that no one knows the origin of the Vengeance Spear, but when it comes to the legend of Nemesis, most people can say something about it, and some versions of the legend also mention the method of summoning the Nemesis.

For example, in the version Sarah heard, it was mentioned that when you have been betrayed, make a puppet of the object related to the betrayer, hold up a hammer and nail, and whisper a prayer. Then call the name of the traitor three times, drive three nails into the doll in turn, and the goddess of vengeance will come. She will give you the Black Spear of the Oath, and all you have to do is use the Black Spear to cut yourself off, give your soul, and the Goddess will strike out the traitor.

This is one of the reasons why Jeno said that the Spear of Vengeance is special, because her business has gone beyond the Shadow Isle, and for hundreds of years she has either killed traitors or walked on the path of killing traitors, leaving behind the reputation of the goddess of vengeance.

Of course, not every oath can get the betrayer's items to make a doll, as long as you have a strong belief in revenge and pray silently when you are betrayed and dying, the goddess of vengeance will still come for you.

So if you want to stab you in the back, you must be prepared to kill with one blow, and don't leave time for the opponent, otherwise you may be exchanged for one by one.

The party did not notice what Jeno and the others were talking about her, and they followed the pace of the spear of revenge and entered the castle.

The windows of the castle are full of scavenging crows, which are not scattered all day long, because food is readily available here.

By the time Jeno entered the castle, the battle was over and the Spear of Vengeance was nowhere to be found.

He saw a ruined courtyard filled with ghost spears, and the statues of the sages of Fukukoshima had been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, and the undead who guarded it had long since been cast into darkness and no longer existed.

The courtyard was dazzled by the passage that led in all directions, and they all knew that the mysterious basement they were going to was beneath the ancient castle, but they didn't know which way could lead underground.

The spear of revenge is a light spirit, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard have long since died, leaving no footprints for them to follow, so how to get to the ground has become a problem.

"Do you want to split up?" Ezreal is starting to get stuck seeing so many paths, and the best way to treat the difficulty of choosing a treat is to try it all at once.

"Don't split up, you'll break it all." Jeno immediately refused on Elise's behalf, and the undead hidden in the shadows could rush out at any time to take away the lone soul.

He glanced around and was convinced, "The spear of vengeance is definitely not far yet, we just need to wait here for a while to know what to do." ”
