It's almost an immutable law, so when Anduin cautiously stepped on the filthy splash of water into the Throne of Bones area, he encountered many times more ambushes than before.
Whether it is quantity or quality, those elite warriors of Hylagal who emerge from the fog will bring too much trouble to Anduin, who has just been promoted to the lord.
However, fortunately, with the completely qualitative Guardian of Truth in his hands, Anduin did not suffer too serious injuries along the way, and he was a normal paladin, and his holy light contained much more healing power than Dick.
Now, the Guardian of Truth in Anduin's hands is no longer the original shield and sharp sword.
Since the little prince entered Theramore, he has seen many artifacts, such as Dick's Righteous Fire, Gianna's Primordial Stream, Mograine's Old Knight's Ash Bringer, Calvincent's Dragon Slayer's Edge, Dalyan's "Old Man", etc., the characteristics of these artifacts determine that they are far superior to mortal soldiers, but Anduin never thought that he could also have an artifact.
The current shield of the Guardian of Truth has changed from the previous style of gathering into a divine gate to a completely separate style, and the blue ring in the center of the shield has also changed to a yellow solar disc engraved with mysterious magic patterns, and the separated, twisted, metallic shield shape gathers around the disk, and the overall appearance looks like a rising golden sun, and the sunlight that shoots in all directions.
The golden light shone on this sun shield, and at the very top of the shield, there was a red ribbon with holy words written on it, and in the other hand of the little prince was no longer the long sword called the Oath Practitioner, but a one-handed flail connected by chains, and the iron ball at the bottom was covered with the same sharp spikes as the sun released, enveloped in holy light, and the tip of each spike was wrapped in a scorching heat.
This looks like a battlefield killer.
The Guardian of Truth has been transformed into an artifact called the Emblem of the Holy Flame according to the essence of Anduin's power, which is not only as strong as before, but when the little prince holds the shield, it is the same as the shield of Agrama, but the faint light will also envelop his body.
Anduin had tried it in the Harbor of the Tide, this light would block the erosion of the mist, which was why he dared to enter the Shadow Nation alone, and although Anduin was brave, he was clearly not stupid.
The journey to the Shadow Nation again was much smoother than the last, and with the emblem of the Holy Flame and the flail in Anduin's hand, those ordinary Kvadir soldiers could no longer cause him trouble.
More trouble came from the fucking natural environment of the Shadow Country, the last time the little prince didn't have time to pay attention to the road under his feet due to the fog, but this time he was completely disgusted.
Looking at the ground level, but stepping on it, it might be a puddle, disgusting sewage splashed onto his clothes, and within a few steps, his hunting suit had become so dirty that it was a little unbearable, but with a righteous and noble purpose, under the Holy Light, he could move on.
The Shadow Country is a complete half-plane, but its land area is not large, this desperate world, ninety-nine percent of the area is a dead and quiet ocean, so the location of the Throne of Bones is not difficult to find, along the earth composed of bones and rotten shipboards, all the way forward, at the end of the fog is Hela's Throne of Bones built on a hill.
But by the time Anduin reached the bottom of the hill, he was in real trouble.
A full 30 elite misty soldiers of Hylagal patrolled back and forth below the hill, and the little prince bared his teeth with a headache, in fact, he should be grateful to Dick for killing the vicious dog Gorm, otherwise a Gorm living in the Shadow Country, that would be the real despair.
Anduin knew he couldn't rush over like a berserker, that would only expose himself to the sight of the Hylagar soldiers, these twisted bastards didn't care if he was a child or not, any life that came into their sight would be mercilessly slashed, and the little prince was not willing to fight these madmen.
He quickly thought of the tactics he had seen in the Stormwind Kingdom against the annoying fishmen of the Crystal Lake by the old mercenaries returning from the Northern Frontier, and he quickly prepared a battle plan that was risky, but the success rate should be high.
A few minutes later, when the battle between Hela and Dick and the others caused a sudden change in the entire Shadow Country, when the Dead Sea completely rolled up the waves, the Hylagal warriors guarding around the Throne of Bones were also a little restless, but probably because they did not receive Hela's orders, these misty soldiers were still holding on to their positions.
But the next moment, three black things flew out of the fog in front of them almost at the same time, and flew towards the gathered Hylagal soldiers, and before the fog soldiers could react, three crisp gunshots rang out, and the three black things also completely exploded when the projectile broke through the skin.
It was a viscous golden liquid, after being hit by the impact and bursting the water bladder, it was like rain, pouring the head of the Hylagal soldiers in front of him, if it was really raining, it would be nothing, these mist creatures were not afraid of rain at all, but it was not an ordinary liquid.
It was the holy water used by Queen Caria for her coronation, a mixture of the baptisms and blessings of Old Fordin, Mograine, and Dick, which Anduin treasured and used to come in handy here.
Even if the rules of the Shadow Nation limit the damage of this holy water to a minimum, but the order and holy light power contained within it are really scorching and terrifying, the two unlucky guys were burned by the golden flames ignited on the spot, and the other guys were also injured, but their reaction was very fast, except for a few guys who really couldn't walk and wailed in place, the others quickly rushed into the mist with the mist.
They still had golden flames burning in them, but as Hela's elite soldiers, they could barely resist the injuries.
The path in the mist was still so difficult to walk, and by the time these guys broke through the fog, a loose wave of water had already run away on the surface of the Dead Sea, and the leader of the Hylagal warriors roared, and a dozen or so warriors followed him, stepping on the water and chasing him.
After they disappeared into the mist, the remaining five Hylagal warriors were about to return to the bottom of the hill, and on the water next to the earth, the dark green seaweed suddenly burst open, and a golden figure rushed out of the dirty water, and a Hylagal warrior had just raised his long sword, and the scorching flail hammer head roared and smashed his head into a mosaic.
Dick didn't hide anything from Anduin, especially after he also comprehended the essence of power, he could also use some of Dick's skills that needed the support of the essence, such as the Holy Avenger.
There are only two light wings behind Anduin, but what matters is not the number of light wings, but the increase in strength.
A hammer smashed a guy's head, Anduin didn't stop, the emblem of the holy fire in his right hand after the rotation of the body, like a city wall, hit the body of the second unlucky guy, the side effects of the artifact are very powerful, especially this kind of defensive shield, the sun disc on the surface of the emblem of the holy fire rotates, and the surface of the shield is covered with scorching holy light, just like the real noon sun, burning the unlucky egg into a burning pillar of fire.
The sneak attack killed 2, and 3 more had already reacted, but this was not invincible for Anduin, he was surrounded by three Hylagar warriors, he took a deep breath, and the holy light in his body was at least 5 times stronger, and a brilliant aura shone out from his body, and then the shields of light shining on all sides around his body, like the light that sheltered him.
This is not the special effect light shield of Naru's shield, the consumption of the ring for holy light is still a little unbearable for the current Anduin, this is the skill that Anduin got after becoming a guardian knight - dedication aura and holy shield.
Of course, this was not the end, and before the Hylagal warrior pounced, he took the initiative to step forward, and with a flick of his right hand forward, the emblem of the Holy Fire spun and flew out, colliding continuously in a small area, knocking back the three guys in front of him.
Guardian Knight's high-level skill - Avenger's Shield.
Anduin let out a hearty laugh, took the emblem of the flame that flew back with one hand, and threw up the flail in his left hand, and a whistling light and shadow bloomed in this mist.
The wounded Hylagal warriors who were still standing guard at the bottom of the hill felt the sound of the battle, and they tightened their grips on their weapons, and after a few minutes, the sound of the battle was muffled, and then another black thing whistled through the fog and smashed towards them.
Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, these samurai hurriedly retreated, only to find that what smashed into the water in front of them was a head that was rapidly volatilizing into a gray mist.
It was their companion's head.
Holding a shield and carrying a flail, the thin figure loomed out of the mist, and each step would imprint golden footprints on the ground, and the temperature around the body rose, making the wet mist scorching and twisted.
These warriors hurriedly clenched the weapons in their hands, and Anduin, who had completely walked out of the fog, still had a few scratches on the little prince's face, looking a little embarrassed and a little out of breath, but when he saw the opponent in front of him, a smile opened on the corner of his mouth.
A smile that has found an opponent is probably imitating Calvincent, and like Dick, and at the end, it is most similar to the expression of Varian, the King of the Storm.
He grew up.
Five minutes later, he climbed Hela's Throne of Bones, the horror of the structure terrified him, but his eyes lit up when he saw the dark green crystal ball in the center of the throne.
But before the little prince's hand could touch the dark green crystal ball, a low grunting sound came out of it, Anduin was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, amid the cheers of Lord Avena, the laughter of Illusus and Resch, a waterfall of azure and purest water broke through the seal, and before Anduin had no time to react, he was wrapped and rushed off the throne of bones.
Avena, out of trouble!
