Chapter 722: Vortex (X)
The dazzling divine light collided with the dark power of death.
The golden shield in front of the paladin shattered, and the black knights' attack stopped in front of the heavy wall. But without the slightest hesitation, they raised their scimitars and slashed downward. In the face of the attack of the black knights, the paladins also immediately raised their shields, and then the long swords in their hands flew forward and pierced into the body of the bone warhorse. With the infusion of divine energy, the bone war horse suddenly wailed and fell apart. At the same time, the Black Knights had already turned over and dismounted, and began a new round of engagement with the Paladins.
Although the paladins were still inferior in terms of the scene, this time their performance was not panicked, and even very calm. After all, for these paladins, the mutated crows they encountered just now were completely atypical, and their holy power had no way to play a role, let alone any symmetrical battle with those monsters flying in the sky. But the current Black Knight is an undead creature they are familiar with, and the paladins led by Ellie are all elites of the Templar Order, and they have more or less dealt with undead creatures like the Black Knight, so they seem to be quite comfortable in the face of the Black Knight's attack at this moment.
For a while, the situation quickly changed. The elves who had been fighting the mutant crows before began to retreat quickly, and the paladins and priests were the first to rise to the top - there was no way to do it, after all, the elves were still too fragile compared to the undead.
However, not everyone took part in the battle.
Compared to the frontline that is in full swing, the middle line where Ellie and Patilina are located is not moving. Her Highness simply held the scepter in her hand, staring warily at the hazy mist around her. Patilina also seemed to have no interest in fighting. Just boredly bowed his head and fiddled with the spear in his hand. Turning a deaf ear to everything in front of him, even if the other sons of the Nine Saints had already gone to battle.
Pillars of white light rose into the sky. The black knights in front of them suddenly began to collapse under the impact of this divine energy. The paladins pursued with their weapons held high, and the priests chanted incantations to unleash blessings and patron saints on the warriors in front of them. Let their swords have the power to shred through the armor cursed by evil, and give them protection from being tainted by dark evil.
The elves seized the opportunity to begin to recuperate under the orders of the elven princess. In the previous battle against the mutant crows, their lines were so scattered that the elves suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of the Black Knights' onslaught. If it weren't for the paladins rushing up, I'm afraid the casualties of the elves would have increased. For a moment, the surroundings became extremely noisy, and the clanging of weapons, the roars of the paladins, the chanting of the priests, and the sounds of the elves calling each other all merged, almost forming an indescribable noise, as if you were in the middle of the city. There were voices everywhere, but I couldn't hear anything clearly.
Naturally, no one noticed that at this time, the faint, wave-like "whooshing" sound was gradually coming in the direction of their location from far and near.
"Whew!!"
And at this moment, suddenly the fog around Ellie suddenly shrank, and then quickly expanded. And then a pitch-black figure leaped out of it, the blade in his hand with a bright red blood light. Straight stabbed Ellie's neck!!
"Look for death!!"
At the same time as the black figure jumped out, Patilina, who seemed to be in a daze all along, shouted, and then saw the spear in the little guy's hand follow an almost incredible trajectory in the air with a strange curve, meeting the bright red light. With the sound of "bells". The silver spear collided with the bright red blade, and a series of sparks flew out, at the same time. The black figure's movements were also interrupted and had to stop. And before he could make any more moves. A holy voice rang in his ears.
"Holy Lord, I am here to ask for your call. Please give me the strength to destroy this filthy evil and darkness!! ”
Before Ellie's words fell, dozens of silver arrows suddenly appeared out of thin air, and quickly headed towards the black figure. In the face of Ellie's counterattack, the black figure also hurriedly retreated, trying to dodge the attack. But unfortunately, it was not only Ellie who was in front of him, but also Patilina.
"Boom !!"
The bright red flames engulfed the enemy in front of her almost instantly, and the barrel behind Patilina spun rapidly, emitting wisps of white smoke. Immediately afterward, two more cannons emerged from the void, aiming at the enemy in front of them, and began to spin rapidly.
However, this time, before they could fire the scorching cannonballs, the bright red sword light streaked through the air in a crescent-shaped trajectory and slashed forward. The next moment, I saw that the barrels of the two cannons were suddenly cut open, and Patilina, who sensed that the situation was not good, did not choose to fight, on the contrary, when the barrels were cut off, the little guy chose to fly back immediately, widening the distance. As she jumped backwards, there was a loud bang as if something heavy had fallen from the place where Patilina was standing, and it sank down at the same time. The cobweb-like cracks immediately spread out in all directions, bringing up a series of rubble and dust, condensing to form a barrier. I saw that the next moment, those silver arrows that flew out hit the earthen wall in front of me, and then turned into light and dust and burst open.
When the smoke cleared, the black figure reappeared. And the skeleton war horse he was originally riding had been swallowed by the white divine flames at this time, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a pile of ashes.
Damn it, failed!!
Looking at the scene in front of them, Patilina, Ellie, and Haas couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
For Haas, he didn't want to fight a protracted battle, in fact, when he unleashed the Necromantic Storm without full success, Haas was already keenly aware of the existence of an archbishop-level priest on the other side. As an undead creature, Haas could even sense the divine radiance released from the other party's blazing soul flames. If you fight such an enemy during the day, it can be dangerous if you can't do it quickly. Not to mention that Haas also had to keep an eye out for Nabelius, if he could defeat them neatly, he might be able to attract the attention of the Plague Princess, which would also make it easier for him to complete his mission.
And Ellie and Patilina obviously know this too, although the other party launched the attack at the first time, but the offensive was not as fierce as expected. With Patilina's experience, she immediately reacted that the other party definitely wanted to cultivate the plank road in the dark. And as a saint, it is not the first time that Ellie has been attacked by undead creatures, and in the face of such a situation, of course she can't be more familiar. So Ellie quickly prepared for protection, and tried to launch a counterattack when the opponent was attacking, so as to kill the opponent in one fell swoop. After all, lord-level black knights are extremely rare, and even Ellie is the first time she has seen them. Just in case, it is best to launch a counterattack while the opponent is attacking with all his might, only in this way can the existence of superiority be ensured.
Both sides hoped to be able to defeat the enemy with a single blow, but they were somewhat ill-prepared for the combat effectiveness shown by the other side. Haas didn't expect that the petite little girl who seemed to be able to fly with a single sword would be able to block his attack. And Ellie didn't expect this Black Knight Lord to react so quickly, and even the Holy Judgment Technique she was preparing dodged it. This made Ellie also very surprised, knowing that this was the daytime, and it was also the time when the silver saint was at its strongest, and she had directly prayed for the help of the gods, and under such an attack, ordinary undead creatures had no way to dodge. But the fact that this black knight was able to dodge her and Patilina's joint attack really surprised Ellie.
At the same time, Haas also secretly called luck in his heart. It was an undead, and the damage brought to it by Patilina's bombardment was actually not great, but the subsequent connection of the Holy Judgment Technique made Haas almost break out in a cold sweat, as an undead creature, it could keenly feel that there was not only pure purification power in that divine art, but also strong divine power. This shows that the other party is not only an archbishop, but also a priest who can directly use the power of the gods! The power of God is not so easy to receive, and Klein is good to say, if he changes himself, it will be a big trouble. As a result, Haas had to sacrifice his mount as a shield to block the blow that was supposed to hit.
But now...............
Whether it was Ellie and Patilina, or Haas, they all looked solemn at this time. In terms of strength, Haas is still stronger than Patilina. But the little one's defensive abilities as a Starlight Knight have also proved to Haas that he can't defeat her in a short period of time. But on the other hand, if you are entangled by the other party, it is not easy to deal with it yourself. Although it is said that as the Lord of the Black Knight, Haas is very strong. But now it's daytime after all, and if the other party cracks the necromantic storm, with the bonus of sunlight, even Haas will be a little tricky to face such an attack. They are undead creatures after all, and they are more or less affected by some sunlight. The biggest reason why the undead creatures in the Wild West evoked by Enoa in the first place were valued by the Templar Order was that they did not react in the sunlight. That's what the Templar Order fears.
Not to mention that Ellie is still a saint, the closer he gets, the more Haas can feel how strong the holy power contained in the other party's soul is, and the human race has such a powerful power at such a young age, it must be the damned Chosen One. Haas, on the other hand, is reluctant to deal with the Chosen One, and the devil knows if they will burn their lives at the last minute and then ask the gods and saints to come down. If things get to that point, it's going to be more or less a nuisance for Haas.
So, is it to keep fighting? Or do you retreat immediately?
Before Haas could make a decision, the cannon fire from the muzzle of Patilina's gun had already given the answer. (To be continued.) )
