Chapter 37: The Battle of the Fortress (2)

"In the name of the Holy Light!" Alexander raised the two-handed sword Haoyue in his hand high, his whole body erupted with fighting energy, and then soaked his body again, and several walking corpses around him felt the extremely strong divine aura on Alexander's body, so they all just gathered around and let out a threatening roar, but none of them dared to really step forward.

In just a few seconds, Alexander's body was filled with divine energy and emitted a strong white light, Regner had complained about Alexander's body of light many times, according to his words, the ability of the body of light to be used as a magic street lamp is absolutely suitable, but the most painful part of this ability is that it can only work in the daytime when there is sunlight.

After turning on the Body of Light, Alexander once again became the immortal god of war in the eyes of the Imperial warriors. He held the sword Haoyue in both hands, and then Alexander let out a roar, and the original sword was suddenly split in two, becoming two weapons. One of them was shiny throughout, and the blade was covered with a soft moon-white glow, and together with Alexander, the glowing guy, it formed the brightest light bulb on the battlefield. The other sword was painted dark and dull, looking like it was a gloomy night.

This is one of the abilities of the Hawke Empire's artifact, Haoyue, and according to legend, the alchemist who cast Haoyue added the energy of moonlight to his sword. As the greatest light in the night, the power of the moon has two opposite sides, just like the moon itself. On the one hand, the moon brings light to the earth in a clear night sky, and on the other hand, on a gloomy night, the moon will also hide its brilliance and become a member of the night.

Therefore, the sword of Haoyue can strip away the duality of the power of the moon. At this time, Alexander was holding in his right hand, which was the Yang Sword of Light Attribute Moon Power, which was called Moon Glory, and what he was holding in his right hand was the Yin Sword of Dark Attribute Moon Power, which was called the Dark Side of the Moon. The two swords are the same size and weight as the main Haoyue, strictly speaking, they are two-handed swords like the main Haoyue, and this is the most difficult thing to control about Haoyue's sword: if you want to fully exert the power of this sword, you must have the strength and reflexes to wield two two-handed swords at the same time. So far, there are not many warriors in the entire empire who can do this.

Alexander held his twin swords, and he held two sword flowers in both hands at the same time, and then the second prince charged towards a huge distortion behind the corpse tide.

It was a giant aberration fifteen meters tall, and even compared to the others, it was enough to be considered a supergiant among them. Since necromantic creatures don't usually wield fighting energy and magic, their size is already a sign of their strength in a way. And for an aberrant of its size, the strength of its body alone is enough to compete with a high-ranking warrior.

"Is it a general-level aberration?" Alexander thought to himself.

In recent months, humanity has also graded the strength of individuals in the tide of death. They are civilian, warrior, captain, general, and king. Among them, civilians make up the majority, and most of them are ordinary walking corpses that civilians turn into after death, slow and clumsy, and have little thought or reason except for their instinctive aversion to life. They are very ineffective, and basically, an unarmed adult male can fight two or three civilian-level walking corpses with the courage to do so. But one of the scary things about this kind of walking corpse is that it is extremely numerous.

The warrior class is the walking corpse transformed after the death of some battle-hardened warriors, and for those warriors who have experienced countless battles, the fighting skills have become their own instincts, and these instincts are retained to a certain extent even after their death. As a result, they are more agile than the civilian-level walking corpses, and possess more basic thinking skills. A human must possess at least Level 2 fighting spirit and skilled combat skills to be able to deal with a warrior-level walking corpse.

As for the captain level, it is these ordinary aberrations that are four or five meters high. They move slowly, but they are huge, powerful, and tenacious. It would take at least four or five mid-tier warriors to hunt down a normal aberrant in relative safety.

And the general-level aberration, as mentioned before, is enough to compete with the strong of the human race.

These aberrations are common, but on top of that, there's a regal necromantic creature. So far, the human race has only seen one king-level, which is a monster that is enough to compete with the human sword master, and the human legion that encountered it in the first place was almost completely wiped out. According to the description of those who came back alive, it was an evil creature that had disappeared from the world for a long time - the bone dragon.

Alexander was not confident that he would be able to defeat a necromantic creature like a bone dragon, but thankfully, this time he was dealing with nothing more than a huge aberration of the rank of a general. And a dozen of this degree of aberration died at Alexander's hands!

"Drink!" Alexander jumped high and jumped straight onto the head of the giant aberration. The second prince frantically stimulated the Dou Qi, and the light of the Earth Moon in his hand skyrocketed, and under the shroud of the Dou Qi, the Light of the Moon had turned into a super giant sword that was four or five meters long. Alexander swung his sword and slashed, severing one of the distorted body's massive arms. Immediately after that, the second prince stabbed the dark side of the moon in his left hand into the skin of the deviant, and the aberrant who was struggling a few seconds ago instantly became wilted.

Alexander directly gave up the Sword of Shadow, he jumped high above the head of the aberrant, and then channeled his purest fighting energy onto the Sword of Light, and the light of the moon was full of swordsmanship. At the same time, the Sword of Shadow, which had pierced into the distortion and was constantly corroding the power of the deformation necromancy, seemed to resonate with the Sword of Light. Its shadow edge also skyrocketed, even piercing the entire aberration from top to bottom.

"Splitting Light Split!" Alexander raised the Moonlight in his hand high, and then slashed downward with all his might.

Under the cutting of the two sword rays of light and shadow, the huge distortion more than ten meters high split into two in an instant. The sharp sword even flew out dozens of meters in a row, splitting the countless walking corpses that were staggering forward in two.

Alexander landed lightly, and the Sword of Shadow returned to his hands after feeling the call of the Sword of Light. After unleashing a powerful blow to kill the general-level aberration in an instant, even Alexander, who had the support of the Endless Source and the Body of Light, was a little overwhelmed. He had to take a deep breath to adjust his breath surrounded by the walking corpses, but fortunately he was surrounded by some of the weakest walking corpses, who did not dare to approach him for fear of Alexander's bright body.

"Wow!" On the castle tower of the battlefield, a female mage looked at Alexander and couldn't help but admire: "This second prince of the empire is really much more interesting than that Joffrey, but I don't know how this man will taste it......"

"Bye...... Please be attentive, teacher. Standing next to the female mage were two blonde girls wearing the robes of the students of the Second Magic Academy, one of the slightly taller girls had a slightly pale face, and her voice trembled a little and said, "I...... It's time for us to do it, too. ”

"Oh oh, yes, my little Ini. The mage yawned lazily: "I know that our mission is to help Alexander defend the Costa Fortress. But before we get to work, I think there are a few points that need to be emphasized to the two of you. Before leaving, Anne Lot, please ask me to take care of your safety, not only for you, but also for Sasha. Naturally, the one who licked the perot stink on the tower...... The half-breed girl who sings the praises of Pero is also among them. So, if you still want to see your brother Regner alive, you'd better listen to me and not run away. There's no chance of winning this battle, so I'm going to use teleportation to take you away after those meat shields in front of me can't hold it up. I don't want to find you then. Follow me closely, you know?"

Angelista thought for a moment, then raised her voice and added, "Oh yes, those other students, you can choose to fight those undead here, I won't stop you, your lives are not worth anything anyway." Of course, if any guy wants to run away, all you have to do is bark at me and then hug my thigh and lick my boots. As long as I'm in a good mood, it's not impossible to take you away by the way. ”

"Understood, Lord Angelista. Wen Resa was also frightened by the scene in front of her, and she replied obediently.

"Brother Regner......" Enerys was a little more worried when she heard Regner. She didn't know where Annelot and Regner had gone, but Enerys knew he was facing more terrible dangers and challenges than herself.

"Well, that kid is fine with your sister Anne. Let's get to work!" Angelista muttered as she walked, "but I think it would be nice for a few of us to make a show here." Anyway, they can't win this battle, and there is a chance that this group of people will die. What's more, your empire, which has reached the end of its rope, didn't even give the appearance fee of a copper coin to the old lady, thinking that when the old lady was in the Dark Light City, even if the seven major families hired me, it would have paid a lot of gold coins, and now my dignified Queen Angelista will actually volunteer for you lowly humans here? I have almost forgotten that I am a noble dark elf after spending time with you humans!"
