Heart of the Castle

Chapter 463 Realm vs. Realm, Scary Corpse Grave Demon

At the same time, all the ascetic monks, clergymen, and glorious temple knights in the Holy White Stone Castle gathered on the tallest white tower. Everyone's face was full of enthusiasm and excitement unique to fanatics, and they chanted loudly. Singing a psalm in praise of Flandala, Lord of Light.Archbishop Mystra stood in front of them, wearing the sunburst cassock used to preside over religious ceremonies, and holding a sun scepter inlaid with a huge golden diopside. The golden light of the sacred realm set him off like a Flandala The avatar came in general.

Through the strip window of the high tower, it can be clearly seen that a bloated giant with a height of more than 20 meters and a head that is almost level with the high tower is approaching the Holy White Stone Fort with heavy strides, even the top of the high tower The ground trembled slightly under the giant's footsteps.The giant's body is made up of rotten grave soil and pale tombstones. Countless withered limbs and shriveled heads protrude from the gaps between the tombstones. Everything that comes across.A giant skull with a diameter of four to five meters formed the giant's head. It looked like it belonged to a hornless ground dragon, and dark green undead flames burned in the white eye sockets.

The expression on Archbishop Mistra's face was solemn and solemn. Accompanied by the turbulent hymns in the tower, he raised the sun scepter in his hand to the giant with a slow but determined movement, and at the same time announced loudly: "Glory! Lord, save your soul!" The archbishop repeated this action three times in a row, and each time he raised the scepter, the ascetics and clergymen crossed their hands and put their fingers outward on their heads, shouting in unison The name of the golden sun, Flandala, expresses infinite worship and admiration for the Lord of Radiance.

After repeating it three times, the ceremony of praying for the coming of the gods ended, and the divine power of light stored inside the Holy White Stone Castle began to surge and condense, and the faint light covered every believer who participated in the ceremony, as if they were covered with a golden coat .

This scene excited the believers. The ascetics shook their bodies, burst into tears, and began to pray and praise more fervently.And those priests and temple knights bowed to Archbishop Mystra one after another, and then stepped down from the high tower, preparing to join the camp of the kingdom's army and fight side by side against the terrible offensive that the demons and the dead are about to launch.

Archbishop Mistra only responded to those people with the simplest nod, which was not due to his own reserved status, but that he had found it difficult to speak.The highly condensed divine power of light was passing through his body, and the scorching sensation it brought gave him the illusion that his blood was boiling.No matter how pious Archbishop Mystra's beliefs are, after all, he is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, and this kind of pain is not easy for him to bear.However, relying on the infinite reverence and love for the sun god, the old man forced his body to stand upright in front of the window. Although the pain made his body tremble slightly, and the muscles on his face were also slightly distorted, what appeared from the corner of his mouth belonged to a martyr. holy and bright smile.

"My lord Flandara, your golden face shines on the earth, and all the people in the world praise your kindness. At this time when the world is in trouble and evil is raging, your humble servant asks you to give me a bright sword to deter the evil ones." Eyes! Light of Judgment!"

An inconspicuous golden light shot out from the sun scepter in Archbishop Mystra's hand, penetrated into the top of the tower, and then suddenly turned towards the bloated giant that was approaching every step of the way—the Corpse Grave Demon!

The light of judgment shot straight towards the keel skull of the Corpse Grave Demon, and the air along the way was distorted by the high temperature, forming ripples like rippling water.The Corpse Grave Demon's huge body is extremely powerful, but its movements are extremely clumsy. Although it has seen the golden light coming towards it, it can't dodge it no matter what with its speed.The giant only had time to raise his hands to block his face before he was stabbed hard by the slender golden light needle.The profane domain was penetrated first, and the black rain of light exploded. The thick arm formed by the condensed earth and rocks was also vulnerable to the golden light needle, and the exploded fragments fell to the ground like a torrential rain.

"Success!" Seeing the bloated giant being hit by the golden light, the holy light knight Titos shouted happily. He was very sure that the corpse grave demon could not resist the golden light.The power of Judgment Light is enough to easily break the quasi-legendary magic meteor fire shower, which shows its great power.If it weren't for the prayers of hundreds of devout believers and the consumption of a large amount of light divine power to perform this magic, and the attack range is extremely narrow, Judgment Light is definitely qualified to be included in the legendary magic.

However, Archbishop Mystra, who performed this magical technique, had a different judgment, "This feeling is... that the divine power of light has reversed?" Big drops of sweat slid down the old man's face, followed by an exceptional sound. There was an ear-piercing crackling sound, one of the golden diopside inlaid on the sun scepter exploded, and the scattered fragments caused many ascetics to cry out in surprise and panic, and there were obvious cracks on the other few. cracks.

The power of the light of judgment disappeared with the damage of the sun scepter. The golden light cut off a lot of fragments under the arm of the corpse grave demon, but it failed to cause more damage to its body. This is the same as the light of judgment. The powerful power is obviously extremely inconsistent.Archbishop Mystra swallowed the blood that welled up his throat, endured the pain of boiling blood all over his body, and looked towards the arms of the Corpse Grave Demon.After the camouflage of the black soil and white gravel was stripped away by the light of judgment, what was exposed under those arms was a whole piece of pitch-black stone shining with strange light.

"Obsidian? Forendala, is this a corpse grave demon or a giant obsidian golem?" Archbishop Mistra smiled wryly, and then his body shook suddenly, almost falling to the ground.He hastily used the broken sun scepter as a cane to lean on the ground, and then stabilized his body.

"My lord Flandala, am I not mistaken? The light of judgment is... blocked?" Titos cried out in shock.

"If it's not a collective hallucination, then you read it right." Archbishop Mystra panted and replied, casting the light of judgment for two consecutive days, the excessively condensed light power has already caused considerable damage to the archbishop's body. Now the old man is very weak and needs to rely on the support of the sun scepter to stand firm.Titos called two temple knights and wanted to escort the exhausted old man back to his room to rest, but Archbishop Mystra refused, insisting on staying on the tower to meet the final result of the battle.

Although the Light of Judgment failed to destroy the Grave Demon, at least it brought a good opportunity to Marquis Osiris. Seeing that the Grave Demon's thick arms were cut with deep marks by the Light of Judgment, it shattered. The cracked tombstone and grave soil rustled down, the eyes of Marquis Osiris moved slightly, a green light flashed on his body, and the two elf epees slid out of their scabbards.The horse White Lightning let out a long hiss, and the sound of hooves suddenly boomed. Although it was just a horse galloping forward, it made a majestic hoof sound like a galloping horse.

The Corpse Grave Demon responded with a terrifying roar, the big mouth of the Earth Walker's skull opened, and the dark white teeth gleamed ferociously.Then several black shadows spewed out from the corpse grave demon's mouth, like boulders fired from a catapult, and slammed towards Osiris.

The elf epee crossed in the air, the sword light flashed, and the ear-piercing screams from the black shadows made people feel a chill to the bone marrow.While the black filthy blood was still floating in the air, Marquis Osiris had already rushed past the black shadow and charged towards the corpse grave demon.

It wasn't until the whirlwind of Osiris rushed over with people and horses that the black shadows rolled and fell to the ground, spilling dirty black blood all over the ground.These fast-moving things look a bit like ghouls wearing black chain armor, but whether it is the ferociously developed muscles or the sharp black claws with fingertips that are as sharp as daggers, they are far from what ghouls can imagine. can be compared.

However, falling under the sword of Osiris can only be regarded as their bad luck. Wherever the green sword light passed, these ghosts were either cut in half from head to toe, or cut in half by the waist.No matter how powerful the vitality was, it was of no use. The six ghosts, whose combat power was comparable to that of a high-level human knight, didn't even have the effect of slowing down the green lion's progress slightly.

The Corpse Grave Demon seemed to have expected that those ghosts would not be able to resist the Marquis of Osiris, its huge body looked down, like a giant pillar in a palace, its arms were bowed left and right, and its two palms slapped the Marquis of Osiris fiercely with the sound of whining wind, thinking They should smack him into a lump of meat, including the man and the horse.

The right foot of Marquis Osiris lightly tapped White Lightning's right abdomen, and the clever steed immediately understood what the green lion meant, and the galloping figure suddenly accelerated again, just like a white lightning, coming from under the corpse grave monster's palm. Dangerously rushed through.

The Corpse Grave Demon made a mistake in judging Bai Lightning's sprinting speed, and slapped the Marquis of Osiris, who was lying on his horse, with two slaps one after the other, and slammed heavily on the ground, making two dull and heavy sounds Muffled.The nearby ground suddenly shook violently as if a small earthquake had occurred. Osiris turned his head and glanced back. The scene he saw was really shocking. Even with the bravery and fearlessness of the green lion, he felt a slight tremor in his heart. cold.

The ground at the bottom of the Sword Blade Rift is not only hard, but also full of gravel, but now there are two large pits with a width of one and a half meters, a length of three meters, and a depth of more than half a meter. The black soil is disintegrating and falling off, revealing the black body with metallic luster underneath from the cracks.

"This is... Obsidian?" The Marquis of Osiris had this thought in his mind. Obsidian is a very hard rock, but its output is rare, and it only comes from the magma erupted by violent volcanoes.The value of this kind of rock is quite high. After being enlightened by an alchemist, it can often be used as a carrier or catalyst for earth, fire and dark magic, and it can be embedded on the top of a mage's wand.

Even the craziest necromancer would not have the idea of ​​using a whole block of obsidian to create a corpse grave monster.Not to mention the astonishing price of such a huge obsidian, although this kind of rock also has a good affinity for dark magic power, but because it comes from high-heat magma, it is incompatible with the cold undead magic power, so it is difficult to be the body of the undead creation .But once it is successfully manufactured... Osiris couldn't help shivering, it can't be measured by worldly power, but in the realm of legend!
With the speed of white lightning, the distance of tens of meters passed in an instant, Osiris calmed down, and two rays of light as sharp as swords shot out from the beautiful eyes unique to elves.No matter how powerful the opponent is, as a master of elf war dance, there is nothing that cannot be cut by the edge of the wrath of nature!
"For the glory of the Kingdom of Arthur!" A cry as clear as ice burst out from the chest of the Marquis Osiris, and then he jumped off his horse, like an arrow leaving the string, and shot towards the dead body, which was as thick as a giant tree. The legs flew.

The knights and soldiers of the royal army who watched the battle on the walls and towers of the Holy White Stone Fort held swords, spears and spears tightly in their hands, and couldn't help but let out exclamations and admiration.

"Fuck you, only Marquis Osiris dares to challenge that terrifying giant alone!"

"As expected of a green lion! The Sky Knight of the Kingdom of Arthur!"

Among the admiration, only the voice of a young soldier seemed a little terrified, "Oops, Your Excellency's take-off distance is too far!"

What that person said was right, the jumping position of Marquis Osiris seemed to be very close to the Corpse Grave Demon's legs, but the actual distance was more than ten meters away. In addition, he was wearing a dark green heavy armor, Even if the elf-style handicraft makes this armor lighter than ordinary heavy armor, it is still a heavy burden.Even with the inertia of the forward charge of the mount, it is absolutely impossible for Marquis Osiris to jump directly on the corpse grave demon.

Seeing this, the soldiers shouted in panic, but Earl Ansair and several other nobles of the kingdom looked calm. They had all seen the green lion show its power before, and the power of vindictiveness and sanctification was by no means ordinary One can imagine!

That's right, it is impossible for anyone to jump a distance of more than ten meters wearing a heavy full body armor.

Unless he can fly!
Marquis Osiris could indeed fly, his body did not fall, but continued to fly forward under the impetus of the emerald green grudge.The two elf epees, called the Fury of Nature, were firmly held in the hands of the Green Lion. The hilts and gauntlets were richly and exquisitely decorated, and the blades were extremely sharp and possessed powerful magic power.The green light of battle energy bloomed from the blade of Wrath of Nature, resplendent and brilliant, as if a wing of light had grown on each of the elf's arms!
A surprised sound came from the corpse grave demon's keel skull, and then the giant's two big hands rushed back to defend, flanking left and right, trying to slap Marquis Osiris to death in the air.However, the green lion's speed was once again beyond the Corpse Grave Demon's expectation. When the two big hands collided in the air and made a loud noise, Marquis Osiris had already jumped onto the Corpse Grave Demon's right knee.

The right knee of the Corpse Grave Demon is composed of several huge white tombstones. Just as Marquis Osiris stepped on it, a strange moan sounded immediately from under the tombstones. The bottom suddenly reached out, grabbing the feet of Marquis Osiris.

The body of Marquis Osiris suddenly spun, and the two epee swords glowed with sword light. The black sharp claws stretched out by those demons were no less hard than steel, but they were easily cut off in front of the green sword light, as if Like dry branches.Jian Guang then criss-crossed downwards and cut in easily.

Marquis Osiris was prepared for the blade of the Fury of Nature to be blocked by obsidian, and his sanctified grudge had been raised to the limit.However, after the sword blade cut into the Corpse Grave Demon's thigh, it seemed to be cut into a puddle of sticky jelly. The resistance from the wrist was not strong, and it didn't look like hard obsidian at all.

The Corpse Grave Demon let out a strange cry, as thick as an old oak tree's right knee was completely cut off by the green sword light, and the fragments of the tombstone and the black soil flew around like an explosion.The bloated giant tried to grab hold of the mountain wall with both hands, preventing himself from falling.However, after losing its balance, the clumsy and huge body was not so easy to recover. With a dull bang, the Corpse Grave Demon fell to the ground, and the smoke and dust raised were hundreds of meters high.

Marquis Osiris retreated quickly from the smoke and dust, avoiding the deadly pressure of the Corpse Grave Demon even though it wasn't his intention.Surprise and unexpected joy flickered in his golden-green eyes. The green lion originally thought that this would be a tough battle, but what he didn't expect was that only the arms of this corpse grave monster seemed to be made of obsidian. The relatively more important legs are the same as ordinary corpse grave demons, which are made of tombstones and grave soil.

However, the battle is far from ending that easily. The reason why the Corpse Grave Demon is a trump card in the hands of the deceased is not only because of the terrifying power brought by its huge body and the powerful blasphemy domain, but also because it has no body. The vitals, no matter how they are destroyed, as long as the core is not damaged, they can quickly repair themselves after being infused with the magic power of the undead.

The green lion had just stood firm, and before he could appreciate his victory, a hoarse voice chanting a spell sounded from inside the skull of the ground dragon that served as the head of the corpse tomb demon, and the deeply sunken eye sockets of the skull immediately burned. With a strong green light, the corpse grave demon's right leg trembled for a while, and the scattered soil and gravel seemed to regroup as if they had life. In just a few breaths, the corpse grave demon's right knee had recovered as before, as if Never been destroyed the same.

"You missed the only chance to defeat the Lord of Darkness, elf!" The big mouth of the earth dragon's skull opened, and the hoarse voice came out from between the sharp teeth of Bai Sensen, with a unique cold taste, the ending sound It seems that many bone fragments are rubbing against each other. "Now, pray for your stupidity!"

As soon as the words fell, the Corpse Grave Demon pushed his hands hard on the ground, and his entire huge body slammed towards him like a battering ram.Marquis Osiris was about to dodge to the left and right, but as soon as his body moved, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

The terrain of the Blade Rift Valley is very special. Except for the space at the Holy White Stone Fort, the width of the valley bottom is usually only about 20 meters.In normal times, this width is enough to allow ten fully armed knights to ride forward side by side, which is not very narrow. However, the body width of the Corpse Grave Demon is almost the same as the bottom of the valley. , so that Marquis Osiris could not find a gap enough to dodge!
