Heart of the Castle

Chapter 689 The power of the black sun, mad battle and miscalculation

The scene of the arrival of the angels in Deke City was too eye-catching. Coupled with the interference caused by the reverberating chants in the sky and the remaining sound-proof barrier, all the demons, including the two demon lords, failed to discover the lion in advance. The traces of the Eagle Knights' attack.

It wasn't until hundreds of heavily armored knights formed a huge wedge-shaped array, whistling from the dark night like a heavy hammer, that the few abyss demons in the outermost circle screamed as if they had just woken up from a dream, and turned around at the same time. come.However, before they could make any other reactions, as the Griffin Lord Li Weiston swung the long sword in his hand heavily, more than a dozen fine steel spears with fighting spirit shining on their tips were thrown from the hands of the first row of knights. As soon as he came out, there was a turbulent wave of air, and the sharp howling from the sharp blade cutting through the air almost suppressed the sound of horseshoes and screams.

The vitality of the abyss demon is quite tenacious. Although the vitals of the body have been pierced fiercely by more than a few spears, most of them did not die immediately, but fell to the ground and rolled and struggled.Some of them may even survive if they can receive magical treatment in time.Unfortunately, the place where these demons fell happened to be on the charge route of the Griffon Knights, and the heavy knights who rolled over like an iron wall rushed past without stopping, killing them all within a breath. Stepped into meat sauce.

The demons on the periphery buy precious time for other companions to react through unwilling self-sacrifice.The battle in the abyss has never stopped. Once these combat-experienced demons recovered from their panic, they immediately became a group of powerful and terrifying opponents.The abyss alchemist in bronze armor roared and swooped down, trying to disrupt the formation of the knights with the abyss beheading sword and flaming whip in his hand; while the abyss balrog, who was good at manipulating the fire element, flew up high, pulling as much as possible. Keep a distance, and then cast a string of fireballs on the heads of the heavily armored knights from a high altitude that is difficult to reach with the spear throwing range.

The lethality and range of the Lianzhu fireball cannot be compared with the meteor fire rain, but the momentum of more than a dozen Balrogs casting this magic at the same time is quite terrifying. There are as many as hundreds of crimson fireballs with a long tail flame It fell from the sky, except that it was less powerful, and almost reproduced the magnificent scene of the concentrated attack of the meteor fire rain just now.

Each of these fireballs from the Abyssal Balrog is equal to the Explosive Fireball Technique performed by the great magician. Even a champion knight with the peak fighting spirit can hardly be unscathed by the bombardment of several fireballs at the same time, let alone It is said that the death knight who is afraid of fire by nature.However, at the moment when the fireball was about to fly towards the formation of knights, the gray-robed mage next to the griffin lord suddenly clasped his hands together, and a huge pale golden mask suddenly appeared, covering the entire cavalry unit in it.

When those continuous fireballs bombarded the mask, they exploded into groups of flames. The sound was like a series of thunderbolts exploding from the sky. It can't hurt the knight under the protection of the light shield.

The reaction of the corrupt lord Anliott is completely in line with his identity as a legendary spellcaster. The Griffin Knights just appeared, and with the sudden swing of the Dragonbone Wand, his body suddenly flashed a flame shield, a bone armor and several other magic spells. At the same time, an undead magic that can play a strong containment effect-the ghost gun array is also on the verge of being triggered.This undead magic with a level as high as the eighth ring can produce dozens of translucent spirit spears, forming an impenetrable forest of spears at the location designated by the caster. Since the spirit spears can easily penetrate non-magic protective gear, So even heavy knights who wear steel plate armor are very threatening.

However, when the corrupt lord Anliott saw the light golden protective shield cast by the gray-robed mage, a look of horror flashed in his deeply sunken eyes, and the phantom gun array that was about to be formed also burst. A dark green rain of light exploded in front of him.

"This is... the ninth ring of magic——divine blessing?"

Sacred blessing can form a huge shield of divine power, blocking all killing magic, divine arts, and supernatural abilities below the sixth level, and also has a considerable weakening effect on the magic of the seventh to ninth levels.However, since this magical technique can only be used by the pope or the heretic presiding judge with legendary strength, it has no effect in defending against legendary level magic, so although it is famous, it rarely appears on the battlefield.

As a legendary demon lord, Anliott, the corrupt lord, would certainly not be afraid of a mere ninth-ring magic, even if it came from the hands of His Majesty the Pope of the Glorious Temple.But if this divine art came from a master of undead magic, then the meaning it represented made him feel extremely terrified.

Either this master of undead magic is pretended by His Majesty the Pope of the Temple of Glory - but of course this cannot explain why the pope would actually perform undead magic; or this master of undead magic has another identity, which can make a certain god He is especially favored and bestowed with the status of the highest divine favor!

And this kind of identity can only be one—the god-favored person of Ku Ximu, the long-sleeping guide!
Intense fear pierced through the corrupt lord's heart like a spear. If the demon lord feared the most, he would have to choose one between the abyssal lord and the long sleep guide.The former had easily destroyed the Council of the Dead, which included two legendary liches, while the latter was the god he once believed in wholeheartedly, but turned his back on in order to continue his immortal life.

The belief in the past has now become the most profound nightmare. The memories of betraying the companions of the Council of the Dead and killing the high-level members of the Church of the Soul Solace flooded into his mind at the same time, causing the corrupt lord Anliott to raise his head and let out a cry Howling in agony.

This miserable howl startled Ramsdon, the mad warrior lord beside him, "What happened?" He turned his head to ask, only to find that the corrupt lord who had been lingering just now had suddenly turned into a man even worse than himself. The wild fighter, together with the field formed by the original power of death known as "Dead Skeleton Extinction", turned into a dark green beam of light, rushing towards the Griffin Knights head-on.

"Gods, how did this cowardly guy become so brave all of a sudden?" the berserker lord Ramsdong blurted out in surprise, almost unable to believe that what he saw with his eyes was a real scene.But then he saw the grey-robed mage next to the Griffin Lord Liviston raise the bone wand in his hand, a dazzling electric light shot out from the head of the wand like a spear, and then stretched out his left hand to strike in the air, a A translucent giant claw glowing with a faint green light suddenly appeared, and without hesitation, it grabbed onto the faint green beam of light incarnated by the corrupt lord.

The two loud bangs came out almost at the same time, and the obviously strengthened chain lightning did not make any contribution. Not only did the blasted dazzling electric light fail to block the dark green beam of light transformed by the corrupt lord, but even the target direction of the beam of light did not deviate; Withered Ximu's terror snatching didn't have much effect either. The eighth ring's undead magic only slightly slowed down the speed of the beam of light, before it was blown to pieces by the violent burst of original power.

Just when the dark green beam of light was about to hit the light golden mask of the divine protection, the gray-robed mage riding a skeleton warhorse suddenly abandoned his mount and soared into the sky like a gray whirlwind. The gray-robed mage knew he was invincible and wanted to escape.Surprisingly, the corrupt lord gave up attacking the Griffin Knights who were close at hand, but tried his best to manipulate his own original power, stagnating the dark green beam of light in the air, and turned towards The back of the gray-robed mage chased after him.

"The abyss and purgatory are here, has this guy been dazzled by the blood?" Ramsdong, the mad warrior lord, couldn't help cursing fiercely.In his opinion, if the corrupt lord Anliott had not chased after the gray-robed mage just now, but continued to rush forward according to the original trajectory, he could completely disrupt the charge formation of the Griffin Knights by himself.In this way, the advantage of the Griffon Knights due to the surprise attack will be offset, and the battle situation will form a melee scene that demons are best at.

But the Lord of Corruption didn't do that, and the other demons had to take many lives for it.The destructive power of the group charging heavy knights is terrifying, while the fearless champion knights are more destructive than ordinary heavy knights.An abyss demon over four meters tall swooped down with a gust of wind blowing like hell. This guy was holding a giant beheading sword that was two meters long. The blade of the sword was burning with fierce fire from hell. They are all covered in solid bronze heavy armor, no different from a steel giant.

"Give me all to die!" The abyss refining demon opened its bloody mouth at the same time as it landed, and let out a deafening roar in abyss language, and the terrifying aura unique to high-level purgatory creatures suddenly rose.According to his past experience, this is the best way to deal with the group of heavily armored knights charging. Even if those knights can suppress the fear in their hearts with their own will, the horses under their crotches cannot bear it, and the formation will inevitably be shaken and chaotic. , and even fell into a person turning his back on his back.

However, what happened next made the eyes of this abyss refiner suddenly narrow, and his ugly and ferocious face was full of disbelief.The wedge-shaped formation of the Griffin Knights rushing towards them didn't even shake, as if the roar just now was just a breeze full of bad breath.Immediately afterwards, the Abyss Alchemy saw the first row of knights lower their lances, and the tip of the spear burning with fighting spirit became bigger and bigger in the field of vision.

This mistake was absolutely fatal. Before the abyss refiner swung the giant beheading sword in his hand, several knight spears hit his body at the same time. The charge speed of the horse and the sharp edge of the steel spear itself easily penetrated the abyss Refining the heavy bronze armor of the devil, and then tearing the muscles, bones and tendons, as if they were all kneaded from dry soil.

However, the huge body of the Abyssal Alchemist covered with solid armor still brought a lot of trouble to the Griffon Knights. When the spear penetrated the body of the Abyssal Alchemist, it also transmitted the terrible reaction force to the knights' bodies.Although champion knights have the power to dissipate fighting spirit, and are alchemy creatures who know no pain and never fear, their body structure is still based on human strength. Immediately there was a terrible creaking sound from the joints.

"Abandon the guns in the front row! Free to attack!" Levi Ston's voice came again, and at the same time there was the loud sound of the battle horn, and the secondary morale-boosting skill of the Griffon Lord was activated again, and the pale golden light and divine blessing The reticles are mixed together, almost indistinguishable from each other.

Sacred protection is useless in front of legendary powerhouses, but for spellcasters whose strength is below that of a magister, it is simply an insurmountable moat, no matter how many spellcasters there are, they cannot fight against it.

Abyssal Balrogs are not the same as spellcasters in the usual sense. What they rely on is not the spellcasting ability obtained from learning and research, but the powerful natural magic ability.Among them, the strongest wide-area killing magic—Meteor Fire Rain has reached the level of a great magister, but it can only be used once a day. It has been wasted in an open space just now, and all other magics are below the sixth ring. It was precisely restrained by the divine blessing.

After the third round of continuous fireballs thrown by the Abyssal Balrog, the pale golden mask of divine protection still stood firm, only two Abyssal Alchemists who were accidentally injured turned around and cursed.This led them to a very pessimistic conclusion, that is, unless they gave up the attempt of long-range magic strikes and risked hand-to-hand combat with those knights, it would be better to stand by and watch.

The abyssal demons are all known for their physical strength, and the abyssal balrog is no exception. Their physical strength is comparable to that of a high-level human knight, and only the core in the middle of the chest is the real fatal point. Other parts will heal quickly after being injured.However, they are still spellcasters after all, relying on their innate flame shields and strong bodies, it is okay to occasionally attack a battle formation composed of ordinary soldiers, and face-to-face confrontation with heavily armored knights who even wear heavy armor on horses and men , Just thinking about it makes these Abyssal Balrogs feel terrified.

Soon this timidity evolved into fear, especially when they saw that the abyss alchemists who were good at close combat were also smashed by flails, stabbed by spears and hacked by sharp swords, and fell to the ground one after another, and even their bodies were trampled by horseshoes The feeling of fear in my heart became even stronger.If it wasn't for the fact that Ramsdong, the warlord of madness, was on the battlefield, and the effect of teleportation magic was also blocked by the barrier of hell they cast not long ago, these abyssal balrogs would probably have dispersed.

The performance of the Griffin Knights was stronger than expected, making Ramsdong, the mad warrior, frown, but deep down in his heart, the experienced demon lord was not too worried.The past war experience made him very clear that both sides had battles with legendary powerhouses, and the key to victory or defeat was never on ordinary troops, even if the members of these participating troops were demon nobles on the one hand and great knight commanders on the other. No exception.

"Actually, the current situation is not the worst. The gray-robed mage has been avoiding a direct confrontation with the corrupt lord Anliott, and the Seraphim who descended from Dirk City has not yet rushed to the battlefield." Berserk Lord Ram Si Dong pondered, with a blood-red light like tumbling lava jumping in his eyes, "As long as I can find a chance to kill that black-armored Scourge knight, the number of legendary powerhouses will be equal, and then it depends on me and An Who will be able to defeat his opponent first..."

Ramstone's eyes suddenly flickered violently, because he found a very rare opportunity. The black armored knight may have turned his horse's head and left the queue suddenly for the sake of protecting Levi Stone. The giant sword waved a burst of frantic light and shadow.Several Abyss Alchemists who gathered together and wanted to launch a counterattack against the Griffin Knights became the targets of the Black Armored Knights. Accompanied by ear-piercing screams and wailing, hideous heads, broken wrists and weapons flew into the air, The dark purple devil's blood poured down like a heavy rain.

Seeing this scene, instead of being angry, the mad warlord showed a ferocious smile, "It's now!" Like a spear, it shot towards the black armored knight!

The timing chosen by Ramston was very cunning. It happened to be after Sir Rodriguez's star iron giant sword cut off the head of the last abyssal demon in front of him, and replaced it with someone else. There was a slight gap, so it was difficult to resist the fierce offensive of the Lord of War who had been preparing for a long time, and was finally defeated by his electric long sword.

With this cunning way of surprise attack, the Lord of Berserker has won several times in the confrontation of legendary strongmen, but what he didn't expect was that due to the probing technique, Li Wei and others had long noticed that this always The demon lord who didn't make a move.The reason why Sir Rodriguez left the formation alone was not because he really felt that the abyss demons would pose a threat, but to lure him to attack rashly.

So when Ramsdon, the warlord of madness, swooped down, what he saw was not a panic dodge or a desperate counterattack, but a slash that had been prepared for a long time. The sky, the air where it passed made a loud noise like an explosion.

The electric light long sword and the star iron giant sword clashed fiercely, making a sonorous and sharp sound that shocked the audience, and then both of them bounced back.Ramston originally wanted to use the flame whip in his left hand to strike Sir Rodriguez, but he didn't expect that the Scourge Knight's fighting spirit was so powerful, and his physical strength was so terrifying, even comparable to his body made of bones and muscles. A giant berserker made of tendons and tendons.The Lord of Berserker only held the sword with his right hand, but he was knocked back by the star iron giant sword because of insufficient strength, and the terrible shock came from his right arm, which made him feel dizzy. When he woke up, his mouth was full of rust. .
