Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 467 Fierce Battle

"The dead! The fallen! And the murderers! All of you are filthy and corrupt! You don't deserve to live in this world! The raging fire will burn you to ashes!"

With the help of Mizora's advanced invisibility, Scar, who had been blocking the enemy's rear, raised his shield, aimed it at the enemy in front of him, and then immediately struck the surface of the shield with his warhammer.

The Shield of Gargauth also changed dramatically in an instant, revealing its true form, opening its devilish bloody mouth, and then spewing out a thick red cloud of flames like a dark cloud.

This is the most powerful magical ability attached to the Shield of Gargauth, a powerful energy spell with a spell level of up to the eighth ring: [Burning Cloud].

This dense cloud of fire spread forward quickly, soon sweeping over the unsuspecting Death Knight, while also engulfing a few poor fellows who were unable to stop because they were running too fast during their retreat.

Those four people should have been very powerful blasphemous assassins, and their retreat speed, which was much faster than that of their compatriots, had already proved this. Unfortunately, these poor guys were moving too fast. Even though they tried their best to stop the car and run back, they still could not escape the attack range of the Burning Cloud Technique.

After lasting less than two seconds in the thick fire, it was burned into charcoal.

But these four people are the maximum number of people that can be killed by the Burning Cloud Technique. After all, no matter what, the Blasphemous Assassins are all very powerful high-level assassins. Although the Burning Cloud Technique can kill them, their speed is actually enough for them to avoid the Burning Cloud Technique's strongest attack range. Although they will still be burned badly, they can indeed save their lives.

But it didn't matter. The real meaning of the Burning Cloud Technique was to destroy their retreat. As long as this goal could be achieved, the spell would not be considered a waste. What's more, this move hit the three Death Knights head-on, causing considerable trauma to these three very troublesome high-level undead.

There are now nine assassins left on the battlefield, and their bodies are covered with various burn marks, which will inevitably greatly affect their combat effectiveness and make their threat plummet.

At the same time, Scar's Burning Cloud Technique, which covered an extremely large area, had completely ignited the entire camp, and the raging fire completely blocked their retreat.

Amid the rising flames throughout the camp, Noshir and Karak finally appeared. Relying on their high fire resistance and the fire resistance potion they had taken beforehand, the two of them simply ignored the harsh environment around them and took the lead, rushing towards the already seriously injured blasphemous assassins.

The two men's hammers and axes broke through the flames and danced wildly in the flames. The remaining blasphemous assassins immediately forced themselves to become invisible. At this time, they were like a group of rats startled by the explosion, running around in the shadows reflected by the flames.

Moreover, they were moving very fast. Noshil estimated that they could maintain such a speed even in the invisible state. Even if it was just a conservative estimate, the agility attribute of all the assassins present should have reached about 20 points.

These are quite astonishing statistics, but unfortunately, if they think they can escape from here by this means, then Noshir will tell them that they are thinking too much.

Invisibility had no effect on Noshir and the others. Mizora had already given them group invisibility, so this guy had no chance of escaping from the eyes of Noshir and Karak. Karak charged quickly on the ground. Although her agility was not as high as those assassins, the blazing flames on the ground had no effect on Karak at all, allowing her to charge in a straight line at the fastest speed and kill the slowest runner with a hammer.

It was even easier for Noshir. With the advantage of being able to fly, he was like the whistling god of death. In less than six seconds, he easily harvested three heads with his giant axe.

Scar cooperated with Mizola to block the three death knights. The previous Burning Cloud Spell did cause serious injuries to these knights. Scar didn't even need to take action. Mizola just cast a few more ring-raising spell missiles and beat these death knights into a state of disarray.

At this moment, Noshir's ambush plan was a great success and everything was moving in a good direction.

But just when Scar, who had been waiting at the outermost edge of the battlefield, was about to seize the opportunity to use the Holy Slash to help Mizora kill one of the Death Knights first...

Shaflock arrived.

He saw the chaotic scene, and then rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible. After arriving, without any hesitation, he locked his primary target of attack on Scar, who was closest to him! Then he launched a sneak attack from behind!
However, his sneak attack did not succeed. Scar sensed Shavlock's approach with the holy perception unique to a paladin, and immediately lay down and raised his shield. He clenched the legendary-quality shield in his dominant right hand, and instantly struck a perfect posture to block the fatal blow!
But...it only blocked one attack.

Scar used his shield to block Shavlock's first downward strike, but was immediately knocked away by his second upward strike. The straps that originally bound the shield to his arms were of no use at all and were cut open by Shavlock's sword. This sword not only cut his straps, but also cut off the arm armor on his hand and 1/3 of his arm.

At this time, Scar didn't even realize what was happening. Shaflock's combat experience was too exaggerated. His actual combat ability far exceeded everyone present, even Noshir.

In terms of combat skills, even he could not compare to Shavrock Ankif, the previous Chosen One of Gods, because his soul had undergone hundreds of years of bloody trials in the Kingdom of Baal, and he had experienced hundreds of years of fighting on that desolate bloody plain.

Those days honed him and made his fighting skills become particularly exaggerated. In that hundred years, he summed up all the fighting skills he had mastered and honed a high-level combat method called "Death Messenger Raid". In fact, this move was the four-stage combined attack that he was using now to deal with Scar!
Shaflock did not stop. His movements were extremely skillful. After knocking the shield away, he immediately put away the sword. His original one-handed sword-holding posture immediately changed to holding the sword with both hands, with the tip of the sword facing forward, followed by an extremely sharp thrust!

This sword was swift and fierce, hitting Scar's heart directly! If this attack hit, Shaflock would immediately stir the giant sword in his hand, then cut it horizontally to the right, splitting Scar in half and killing him instantly!
At this moment, a large amount of bright red blood gushed out of Scar's right arm. The pain did not paralyze Scar's nerves, but instead made him recover. He almost instantly activated the defensive magic on his armor: [Faithful Shield]! Then he used the fastest speed in his life to communicate and guide the sacred power in his body, allowing it to attach to his war hammer!

In just a moment! The radiant energy attached to the hammer in Scar's hand was so dense that it was dazzling! He did not choose to defend or dodge, but chose to attack instead of defend. He knew that the enemy in front of him could break through his solid defensive posture held in his right hand in an instant. Any further dodge and defense would be meaningless!

Only by showing fearlessness of life and death and the courage to risk his life can he seize the tiny hope of survival. Although he has never encountered such a strong enemy, Scar deeply understood this point in the short moment of fighting with him!
He knew it deeply! The enemy in front of him was definitely not one he could defeat, but it was precisely because of the difference in strength between them that Scar gave up any fluke mentality and chose the most correct response plan! And this victory slash would be the most powerful blow he could perform!
