vs 57 Light and Darkness (5)
Hot, really hot.
The scorching heat emitted by the flame rays overhead caused the temperature of a large area of the passage in front of the fortress to rise rapidly.
Pei Di, who was fighting the army of the undead at the mouth of the passage, only felt as hot as being in a volcanic crater at the moment, and at the same time, the smoke and dust from the surrounding jungle fires poured into his lungs, making his entire chest feel as hot as if he had been poured chili pepper water.
Fighting in such an environment can drain your physical strength more than usual.
"Bang!" the war hammer in Pedi's hand danced instinctively, and his steps kept moving forward, there were countless undead soldiers blocking the road in front of him, and the spears emitted a cold light in the sky-rushing firelight, but Pedi didn't care under the protection of the Holy Force, he silently pushed forward while calculating the time and distance.
"Phew, hoo. β
The silver warhammer surrounded by golden holy power was like a weapon of the Hell's Grim Reaper at this moment, harvesting the cursed life of the undead soldiers at an extremely fast speed.
100 meters,
Fifty meters,
Thirty meters,
As Pedi progressed, he got closer and closer to the Golem.
Soon, the Golem was only a stone's throw away for Pedi, and now he only needed a tactical charge, and the warhammer in his hand could smash the Golem at the front.
"Pedi Reagan!"
It was as if the Netherworld's low roar rang out from the undead army and reached Pedi's ears, making him hear the tactical charge he had originally planned... Looking for the voice, in the fiery red light, there was an undead warrior armed with a huge battle axe and wrapped in heavy armor.
When their eyes met, they both clenched their weapons almost at the same time, and then charged at each other at the same time, and the figures of light and darkness collided together in an instant.
"Bang!"
"Dang!"
The hammer in Pedi's hand managed to sweep the undead warrior's side waist, and the opposite battle axe also slashed at Pedi's shoulder armor, but it was blocked by the Holy Shield.
After the two of them each struck, the undead warrior was knocked backwards and flew out at the same time knocking down countless undead heavy armor soldiers, the armor on his chest was also smashed to powder, and pieces of rotten flesh fell off his chest, and Pedi also continued to fall backwards due to the force of the shock, crashing into the ranger soldier who followed closely behind.
As the healing magic swirled through Pedi, Intis asked a little nervously, "Are you alright?"
"Rest assured, the Holy Force will protect me. Pedi frowned as he stared at the fallen undead warrior in front of him, as the other's body didn't shatter under his blow as he had imagined.
"Haha!" The undead warrior whose chest was smashed down let out a hearty smile, and the evil energy continued to rotate around him to form a huge energy barrier, and continued to devour the undead creatures around him, his wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye in his continuous devouring, and even the armor on his chest was recovering on its own.
"Armor of life? how is that possible?" whispered as the Peddy Warhammer smashed the undead soldiers rushing in, his voice with obvious disbelief, for in all the knowledge he knew, there had never been a way to give life to an armor.
"It's not possible, what the Undead Legion does best is playing with souls and lives. Intis brandished her staff and stole the flames above her head to strike at the undead soldiers, saying, "This is a high-ranking undead, call him to me, you can go and complete your mission." β
"Good!" Pedi dispelled the curiosity in his mind, and after accepting Intis's proposal, he glanced at the undead warrior who had recovered from his injuries, and his whole body suddenly turned milky white in the blink of an eye, and his eyes locked on the golem less than ten meters away from him.
"Undead, come and feel the divine power!" Pedi roared, his body rushing towards the golem with the help of the holy power.
"Your opponent is me!" the undead warrior shouted, but he didn't do his best to stop the paladin's charge, and as he prepared to get up and circle around the golem, the front suddenly brightened brighter, and there was a scorching heat that was unbearable for his soul.
"Your opponent is me, undead!" Intis remembered in a cold voice, her originally slender and beautiful hands now seemed to be smeared with a terrifying layer of magma, emitting self-heating glow and dripping lava.
The undead warrior really didn't continue the pursuit, he looked at Intis and said indifferently, "You have a pathetic life, elf!"
...
In an instant, Pedi was at the foot of the golem at the front, and the scorching heat burned his face with burning pain.
There was no time for Pei Di to think too much, he swept and repelled the undead soldiers who rushed up, and raised the war hammer in his hand, and the next moment, the fiery red sky above the golem's head was covered with golden holy power, and it was the divine power that existed in the nearby area and space gathered at the fastest speed in accordance with Pei Di's will, forming a beautiful scene in the sky like a god general.
This divine power seemed to pierce the sky and projected the power of the universe onto the continent, making the undead feel a huge pressure, and before the undead could react, the divine power that complemented the fire quickly turned into countless golden spears under Peidi's control.
"Squeak" like the sound of rusty iron grinding against each other, when the golden spear was all over the sky, suddenly echoed in Pedi's ears, instinctively alert, he looked up at the nearest golem, but saw that the golem's chest made of steel was turning at a very fast speed, just as Pedi was about to take a look, he felt a huge magic energy suddenly attack him.
"When" Pedi only felt that the eyes of his eyes became extremely bright, and a high temperature that seemed to melt his whole body affected his body, the whole person had already flown backwards, "bang" Pedi didn't know where he had crashed, although the divine shield protected him from all harm, but the powerful inertia still made his whole body skeleton have an indescribable pain.
There was no time for Pedi to think about it, he endured the pain and rolled over as fast as he could, smashing over the undead who surrounded him, and at the same time as he jumped to the side, the holy power spear in the sky fell suddenly under the influence of his will.
"Boom" The same attack just now exploded where Pedi had just rolled down, and this time Pedi could see it clearly, it was a scorching fireball that came from a high-speed impact.
"Boom... Boom..."
Countless golden spears were blocked by a flame barrier above the golem's head, and the frenzied energy caused by the concentrated explosion of two different energies tore through the surrounding space, and the low-level undead soldiers directly lost the protection of evil energy and fell to the ground in such an energy impact.
"Huh?" Pei Di frowned as he looked at the disappearing Divine Energy after colliding with the Flame Enchantment, a recognition he couldn't understand.
"Isn't it surprising? Actually, any energy is very powerful, it just depends on who is using it. A voice rang out over the golem, mocking and teasing. With this voice, the undead soldiers around the golem stopped their siege of Pedi and retreated into the darkness behind them, which could not be covered by the firelight.
Instead of chasing the retreating undead soldiers, Pedi squinted blankly at where the sound came from.
On the golem's broad left shoulder, a necromancer dressed in dark clothes stood, and to Pedi's surprise, he didn't notice the slightest wave of evil energy in the necromancer.
"We, like you, have humble lives that don't deserve to be mentioned... We have the same ancestors, live in the same country, study the same subjects, and this kind of magic is only the simplest research we had at that time, but... War has ruined everything for us, theyβ" the necromancer pointed to the elves who came up, "they have stolen our knowledge, but they are acting as the saviors of the world, holding high the banner of justice, speaking of us as the representatives of evil and the darkness of decorating themselves as the representatives of light. β
"Your Majesty Pedi, don't listen to his nonsense!" Intis shouted to Pedi after stopping her people from pursuing.
"Undead!" Intis squinted at the necromancer on the golem's shoulder, "You started the wars of ancient times, and our ancestors may have made some mistakes, but you can't deny that it was your uncontrolled ambitions that ruined this world. β
"Except for us, all the intelligent races in this continent were created by the primordial spirits!" the necromancer pointed to Intis, "You are the same... Moreover, you are nothing more than the product of the failure of the primordial spirit people, and your seemingly permanent life has fatal flaws, so you have to brand yourself as a lover of nature... High Elves. β
"But what about the facts?" said the necromancer's sarcasm, "in fact you are nothing more than intelligent creatures created by the Primordial Spirits to manage the forest!"
"Only us and the Yuan Ling are the masters of this world. The necromancer's voice at this moment carried the scream of the dead, "The emperor of the human race, we are the same kind of people, we can live together peacefully, don't listen to the bewitchment of the elves, what they are best at from ancient times to the present is to bewitch people." β
"Who are you?" said Pedi as she stopped the agitated Intis from continuing to talk to the undead on the other side, stepping forward and asking in a calm tone.
"The greatest deathmaker of the Land of the Dead and... Life-giver, the most loyal servant of Her Majesty Queen Ferrola, the Undead Monarch Zuckerberry greets you, Honorable Emperor of Humanity. Zuckerbury's body vanished in place as he spoke, and by the time the words landed, the man was already standing at the giant feet of the golem, performing an ancient aristocratic ritual to Pedi in front of him.
"Emperor of the Race, you may be powerful, but you cannot be compared to our eternal life. The undead warrior who had just briefly fought Pedi appeared next to Zuckerbury, and the burnt pieces of flesh on his body were automatically repaired as he spoke.
